I'm Grand Mam

Kevin and PJ are still buzzing after their live podcast at the Cork Opera House but regrettably neither of them have a vocal chord left in their throats. The theme for the week is body modifications and the lads start off by saying which piercing locations are the hottest. PJ loves a tongue piercing on a fella but Kevin thinks it's absolutely horrendous. PJ gives us a tattoo tour of all the artwor...

The boys have never claimed to be perfect so please don’t come for them when you hear them ranting and raving about the iced brown sugar oat latte from Starbucks; at the end of the day they’re gay men and they need their caffeine fix and they love the sound of the ice clinking in the cup. Kevin says that he wishes he lived above a coffee shop as it would tie in with his Sunday morning fantasy of p...

The lads’ mams have both been away on holidays which leads to a discussion about doing a deep clean of the house before a trip abroad. It just gives you a greater sense of peace when you’re doing your rest and relaxation bits by the pool doesn’t it? They then turn their attention to the theme of the week which is stealing and the lads share whether they were fond of a five finger discount when the...

The lads are recording from the Apple studio again in London and PJ’s questioning whether he’ll be able to get a pistachio latte from Blank street coffee before he flies back to Dublin as he believes the drink is derived from the tit of Aphrodite. They also question how much butter is in a croissant which leads Kevin on to a story of a new bakery he visited at the weekend (and did he mention it wa...

You might notice some stunning sound quality in this weeks episode girlies and it’s because the boys are recording in a studio thanks to Apple Podcasts. Both of the lads have been to see the Barbie movie and Kevin insists he wanted to see it by himself though PJ thinks it’s because he has no friends. They then talk about the awkwardness of kissing in a cinema or in a car and being traumatised abou...

The podcast opens with a heart-warming tale from Kevin that involves an Uber driver and a drag queen on the weekend of Pride in London. The boys then discuss how they feel absolutely triggered when a random stranger refers to them as sir and worse again is when lads on dating apps think it's okay to call you 'Mr'. It's not. Then because it opened in cinemas this week, they had to talk about all th...

The boys had their first author event this week and the imposter syndrome was going ninety but then they met Anne Doyle and she hugged and kissed them and all was okay in the world again. It's been a month since Kevin's tooth ordeal and though his smile might be back to normal he is yet to recover from the mental trauma ( traama ) of it all so he decides to unpack things in this weeks episode and...

This week the boys announced that they are releasing their own book, The I'm Grand Mamual and they couldn't be more excited. They are well and truly in their author era and so it will come as no surprise to learn that they choose reading as the theme for the week. They talk about giving big main character energy when they were writing chapters of the book on their laptops in random cafés and revea...

After a brief hiatus following the release of their 100th episode, the boys are back and they’re giddier and gayer than ever. Though he looks much younger than PJ, Kevin recently turned 30 and the pair use the opportunity to share twenty things they wish they knew in their twenties. From top-knot regret to learning to love carrot cake, the boys do a deep dive of their last decade in the hope that...

To celebrate making it to their hundredth episode the lads decide to do a live recording in Dublin with a few of the nearest and dearest and some of the Patreon girlies. They discuss their antics on the Late Late and read out some of the chaotic tweets that have been hurled their way, speak to their mams and get roasted by a few of their funny friends. They also surprise each other to mark the spe...

PJ has just landed in London and reveals the ordeal he went through with a spoiled child in M&S. Meanwhile Kevin is still slightly traumatised from a recent dog walking venture with his new friend who he decides to call Clifford for the sake of identity protection. Inspired by Seachtain na Gaeilge the lads talk about their love of their native tongue after a rocky theme intro from PJ. They spe...

The boys are recording together in Dublin as Kevin was over for an event that they were both asked to DJ at. As part of the set they did Rock The Boat and the lads reckon it was one of the hardest ab workouts they've done in ages. Also in the catchup, Kevin recounts a suspected crime he witnessed on the tube. The theme for the week is comfort food and they start off by ripping the food pyramid to...

The episode starts off with a mystery to solve. Kevin was accosted in the streets en route to the record and they need try and find out who the men in question were. PJ meanwhile is busy being boring making his own kombucha. It's giving snore. The theme for the week in flirting and the lads discuss the perennial problem of being a friendly Irish gay person in London; it's often mistaken for flirti...

PJ has given Kevin the ick because he keeps referring to the work they do together as 'content' and it makes Kevin feel like they live in a Tik Tok hype house. They then spend the rest of the catch-up fawning over a professional dancer they both had a crush on back in the day. The focus is then shifted towards the topic of nerves. Though they're quite calm and collected for the most part these day...

PJ has noticed a few changes in Kevin from having spent the last few days with him in London. He's very impressed with his cooking abilities which have come a long way since his Linda McCartney sausage days and he also thinks that Kevin has elevated his outfits. A change that Kevin has not welcomed is the fact that he is now in his klutz era; he took a hopper in his most recent Crossfit class and...

PJ just arrived in London and tells us how triggered he is from all the chaotic people he encountered in Dublin Airport before his flight and Kevin is still traumatised from an accident he had at the weekend which nearly gave him a sexy scar. The theme for the week is bullying and the lads start off by discussing the fact that when they were in school a new anti-bullying campaign was shoved in the...

Kevin is back in London but his return wasn't all plain sailing as he tells us of the ordeal he went through with his suitcase at Heathrow Airport. In celebrity news, Molly Mae and Tommy Fury have just called their newborn baby Bambi and the lads reckon people shouldn't worry about the girl having to apply for a mortgage with that name because her mam is minted. The theme for the week is money man...

Well, Kevin has finally finished with Sleeping Beauty and is slightly hungover for the record as he was out late for the wrap party. He’s also slightly h word which PJ takes issue with. Though his contract has come to an end he is still carrying the weight of being a 'role model' for the next generation of performers, a title he takes quite seriously and is kind of obsessed with. The boys then dis...

The boys are recording in PJ's house in Dublin and Kevin expresses his concern that the cats have taken over the gaff since his last visit. The boys are mortified because they have slowly come to the realisation that sea swims are a small bit stunning but were taking the piss out of sea swimmers for ages so now they're eating their words. Then, because the boys are still on an engagement buzz, the...

It's the first episode of 2023 and Kevin is still using the term chillaxing but we move. The lads have a quick catch-up on what they got up to over Christmas and New Year's and both come to the conclusion that they detest Snuggies (sorry Lindsey). But the big news is that Jose got down on one knee on New Year's eve and popped the question and PJ felt like he was having an out-of-body experience an...

It's the last episode of 2022 and what better way to kick things off than pondering over the dilemma of whether you would shag Tom Hardy or not if he was your first cousin. 2022 has been all over the gaff but the boys do their best to try and reflect on the nicer moments of the last 12 months. Kevin and PJ also give some chaotic predictions for the year ahead and question whether peplum will...

Kevin had his opening night of the pantomime but the first show didn't go as smoothly as he would have liked and he was a small bit traumatised. PJ is also a small bit traumatised this week as he has developed a lisp since he started wearing his new retainer. Then because they had a load of submissions that they never got to last time they read out some more mortifying moments. There's a story abo...

PJ has once again gotten the train down to Cork to see Kevin as the lads agree that the vibes are always immaculate when they’re recording in person together but one thing they’re not happy about is the fact that the sweet trolley hasn’t yet made a return to Iarnród Éireann.  PJ was Christmas decoration shopping at the weekend and is feeling all kinds of festive and the lads discuss chaotic g...

The episode begins with PJ having a bone to pick with Kevin regarding a hidden hairdryer in his house. The theme for the week is beauty pageants and to kick things off they play the incomparable 2007 Miss Teen USA quote regarding Americans' inability to locate the US on a world map before moving on to discuss the chaos and short-comings of the Rose of Tralee contest and its unhinged predecessor Ca...

The episode begins with an unprovoked attack against the layout of PJ's kitchen, though really the only person at fault is the sadistic cowboy builder who left the Kirby household with three fake drawers and a shortage of sockets. The boys also share their disdain of personalised mugs with photos and cursive fonts and Kevin reckons PJ's sister Lindsey should know better. Then, prompted by the simi...
