Note from PJ & Kevin: Girlies, we've been battling gremlins when it comes to technology this month; first we lost a whole episode (more on that later), and this episode we had some audio issues when one of our mics started acting up mid-record. We've done our best to salvage it because we loved this ep- hopefully it's not too distracting for ye!

This week, Kevin catches us all up on his trip to the Lake District with the CrossFit crew, and his viral tiny blind video! The theme is dating disasters: we've all made some questionable decisions when it comes to dating, and there's no judgement here at I'm Grand Mam. The lads hear some hilarious submissions telling tales of red flags, bad behaviour and smelly feet.

PJ's been looking after his niece and nephew this week, and it's given him a newfound appreciation for everything our mams and dads did for us growing up: parenting isn't easy girls! Meanwhile Kevin is pondering getting a new therapist, but fighting hard against the urge to book a hot gay one.

The theme for this week is happiness, and the lads are unpacking the difference between being happy and content, while wondering what it really means to be happy. PJ breaks out some inspirational quotes for motivation, and Kevin wonders whether being in a relationship is something he needs to be happy in the long run?

Kevin and PJ have both encountered some serious road rage this week, and they can’t help but wonder: were people always this angry? They’re also officially speaking out against meta glasses, and posing the question: why do people spend money on designer sunglasses?

The theme for this week is celebrity memoirs, as both the lads (and the rest of the world) have been reading Famesick by Lena Dunham. They talk about their favourite celeb memoirs, unpack why we love them so much, and brainstorm titles for their own tell-alls!

The boys are back from their month-long break and they’re feeling refreshed, recharged and ready to record! They’ve done some lovely wholesome bits: farm stays and trips to Achill Island. But they’ve also got up to their fair share of chaos, true to form!

The theme for this week is hiatuses, as the lads discuss why going on a break is good for the body and soul. They talk about celebs that have taken prolonged breaks, wonder if hiatus is the word of the year, and wonder if Katseye need a break before every single one of them ends up on an indefinite hiatus!

PJ's been listening to Cher Lloyd and it's made him feel invincible, so get your swagger in check, girls! All this nostalgia has the lads reminiscing about playing run away knock as kids, and they're giving out advice to the adult victims... don't chase, it's what they want.

The theme for this week is things we wish we'd learned in school, and the boys are wondering why the girlies got to do home economics and they didn't? Although they don't envy them the panic of a night before double home ec with no ingredients in the gaff. They're also lamenting the fact that we were never taught the basics: money management, home cleaning and how to do a fierce smokey eye!

The lads are wondering why, as adults, we’re not using bunk beds anymore, and Kevin has decided there’s one in his very near future. PJ’s been at a hen over the weekend, and is starting a campaign to ban prosecco because the post-hen headache was next level. 

The theme for this week is movie sets, inspired by Christopher Nolan’s rules on set of The Odyssey. The lads discover that they’d have very little patience for rude directors and method actors, and they wonder why we can’t just have more fun on the shoots, girls?
