I'm Grand Mam

Kevin and PJ are unpacking the single life this week, all sparked by that viral Vogue piece asking, ' Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?'. They debate whether being single is now a flex, question the awkwardness of posting your partner online, and reflect on how much our self-worth really depends on relationship status. Along the way, they share their own dating faux pas, the pressure (o...

The them for Science Week 2025, which is supported by Research Ireland is 'Then, Today, Tomorrow.,' and Kevin and PJ are exploring how Artificial Intelligence has evolved from a futuristic fantasy to one of the most powerful tools in modern science.

Kevin and PJ are back and have a lot to talk about thanks to Lily Allen’s new album, West End Girl . PJ finds himself stepping into some playground drama in his apartment block but isn’t sure if he stopped a bullying incident or just ruined a friendship.

PJ’s after getting a new couch but has enforced a strict “no sex on the new sofa” policy because it was pricey girls. He also confesses his deep love for waffles while Kevin argues there’s something inherently Protestant about the smiley-faced ones. The boys then dive into the dark world of doom scrolling as their screen times hit new highs, leading Kevin to realise maybe it was a good thing he ne...

Put your paws up! This week Kevin recalls a trip to a fancy café where he wasn’t being taken seriously, so naturally he decided to draft a fake invoice for €196k to assert dominance. The lads also chat about the unique joy (and silent panic) of seeing your friends in a show they’ve made themselves because what  do  you say if it wasn’t great? To top it off, Kevin’s just seen Lady Gaga on...

This week the boys talk suds, sweat and split ends. PJ opens up about a traumatising childhood trip through a car wash that has meant he typically opts for a manual wash vibe which Kevin struggles to believe. Meanwhile Kevin’s done a Hyrox event and bleached his hair in the same week but he swears he’s not having a breakdown. The lads also debate the burning question: do blondes really h...

Kevin and PJ have an important message to share with the men of the world; stop making your noses smaller and start smiling more. It's that simple really. For the theme they dive into the moments, trends and shows that should have been bigger but somehow weren’t. From missed cultural waves to pop groups that fizzled out, the boys unpack why certain things never got the spotlight they deserved. Was...

PJ is back on his yoga buzz which Kevin isn't too pleased with as he doesn't want PJ to become more flexible than he is. They get into a discussion about instances where they had to whip the bob out and ask for the manager and go full on Karen because though they don't believe the customer is always right, when they're the customers, they are always right. As it's September and kids have gone back...

It's been one whole year since PJ and Jose Kirby Galang tied the knot down in Inis Beg and to mark the anniversary the boys ventured down to West Cork to the island where they married to plant a tree and Kevin questions whether they will be able to last another year or not.

Girlies, this week Kevin and PJ are joined by international popstar and Sunday roast enthusiast JADE! During the episode, the lads finally settle their ongoing beef with JADE over the use of the title “That’s Showbiz” once and for all, before diving into a chat about the music industry, her LGBTQ+ advocacy and even her secret talent for Sudoku. Once the boys earned her trust, they managed to get J...

Influenced by Kevin who was the first person to go on holidays to Malta ever, PJ took a trip there recently with his friend Layla who had her clit out on a catamaran and PJ tells us all about it. Then, prompted by the chaotic American Eagle campaign with Sydney Sweeney and the even more ridiculous ELF campaign with Matt Rife the lads talk about the weird, wonderful and woeful world of advertising....

PJ had the best time on a recent trip to Waterford but thinks the town might be hiding a dark secret because there were no adults present only teens (though they were doing a bang up job and they ran a tight ship). As PJ is still riding off the high of passing his driving test the lads decide to do a submissions episode based around chaotic car stories. We hear about a driving instructor with a cr...

The lads kick the episode off by reading out some comments they received from very angry men on Instagram and TikTok and make a plea to the girlies to go and give their dad a hug because the men of Ireland are obviously shooketh. PJ details an encounter with a chaotic B&B owner on a trip to Scotland for his friend's wedding before the boys dive into an episode about celebrity deaths. Both of t...

Kevin had a 360 moment this week as he went to see Oliver on the West End and PJ questions whether it was actually a 360 moment and Kevin retorts that Dua Lipa confused him by saying 'Did a fully 180, baby' because 180 is only a half turn. Ultimate confusion. Then the lads discuss a topic that they've wanted to discuss for ages and kind of already have been discussing in part in previous episodes,...

PJ is over the moon as he has just passed his driving test and is now a fully licensed diva. Kevin nearly tips him over the edge emotionally as he surprises him with a thoughtful gift to celebrate the achievement. The theme for the week is inner child and the lads discuss the rise of toys like Labubus, Jellycats and Sonny Angels and whether they're an indicator that people are looking for a playfu...

Kevin's absolutely mortified as he's been away on another holiday and he doesn't want people to think he's all notions but he says it's a holiday he couldn't miss as it was the first one with his niece and core memories were made on that trip. The trip reminded him how much he loves Spanish radio which prompts PJ to have a moment of realisation about the pronunciation of a certain Spanish phrase....

The boys had the most amazing trip to Portugal and can't wait to tell you all about it including a spur of the moment date with a boy from The Lebanon which involved fish bones being removed from teeth and a lot of hills. They choose alternative festivals as the theme for the week and spend most of the time discussing the ploughing championships because they'd really love to go to judge the brown...

It's the 200th episode and the boys can't believe it. What started out as a a fun project that the lads started at their kitchen table six years ago has grown into something that they could never have imagined with a whole community of girlies around the world listening. To celebrate they did a call out for the 'Greatest Girlie Going' - I'm Grand Mam's biggest fan and they selected Sarah from Kins...

In this episode Kevin addresses the bald rumours after receiving a chaotic Instagram message which leaves the boys with many questions including 'who the heck is Jolene?'. The theme for the week is recession indicators resulting in a heated exchange between Kevin and PJ over the ranking of different forms of potatoes.

The episode starts off with a rant about restaurants who only serve one slice of toast with a breakfast like what's the story there. And don't even get the lads started about the fact that your standard breakfast these days doesn't even include tea or coffee. The lads then talk about the weather as the theme and though they've been told in their research notes that Finland has been voted the happi...

Kevin is back from Primavera and has a few words that he'd like to share with the organisers regarding the first night as there wasn't a lick of agua to be found anywhere on the grounds after Charli XCX. If there was a Spanish equivalent to Neil Prendeville then Kevin would have spent the next morning on the phone to him giving out. PJ recently attended Six the Musical and has nothing but positive...

Kevin has been in full blown FBI mode since someone on Vinted has robbed his trainers and he's threatening that he's going to kidnap her dog. PJ meanwhile has had his heart melted by a French handyman with a penchant for cats who iconically goes by the name Frenchie. For the theme the lads talk about something they're both extremely passionate about; design and aesthetics. They discuss the death o...

PJ talks about finally feeling like a part of the ginger community since dyeing his hair orange. Kevin isn't all too obsessed with PJ's hair and Pádraig thinks it's shocking and so him and PJ are going to have a fight near The Spire in Dublin and the video will be uploaded to Patreon apparently. For the theme the lads discuss dupes and counterfeits and they have a PSA for shops which is that they...
