The boys are back with a new look. No PJ hasn’t changed his hair again - I’m Grand Mam has had a bit of a refresh. Basically the lads wanted their faces on the podcast artwork and sure aren’t they dead right because they’re both big rides. It’s the first record of 2024 and Kevin gives PJ a belated birthday present and PJ opens it right there and then and it’s definitely a step up from the tiny manky green bag he got him a few years back. The lads then talk through their ins and outs for the year but most of the ins just turn out to be phrases they’re a bit obsessed with at the moment like 'that's showbiz' and 'give mummy a kiss'.

Ep 126 - That's Showbiz

Two lads, originally from Cork in Ireland, have a cuppa and catch up each week while exploring the collective life landmarks that accompany growing up gay in the world today. Join Kevin and PJ as they navigate their way through life whilst battling with the internal shared struggle that every Irish gay man deals - ‘what would mam think?’ Follow us on Instagram and Twitter: @imgrandmam Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam Hosted on Acast.

Comedy

In this episode the lads talk about their constant search for validation (even if it's in the form of a wolf whistle from a gay builder) and discuss Kevin's stint as a body double for Lewis Hamilton. They then read out some 6th year holiday horror story submissions and they want this episode to be a cautionary tale for Irish gays and girlies getting with Brits abroad; the GCSEs is the equivalent to the Junior Cert so don't be mauling young fellas.

Ep 143 - The Rushkinoff Cough

It's communion season girlies and it's all excitement in the Kirby household as Tess has finally said yes to the dress and she's gearing herself up to walk into the church purse first to slay the house of God down boots on her big day. The lads talk about their longing to have had their ears pierced for their communions like the girlies and talk about how much money they made and what they spent it on. Rumour has it Kevin still has his communion money in his post office account. They then talk about divorce, how close the results were in the divorce referendum in 1996 and how much of an eejit Just*n Barr*tt is for campaigning against it only to get divorced himself in 2017.

Ep 142 - Tess Says Yes to the Dress

Kevin starts the episode off by sharing his ordeal of dropping his phone down the back of the radiator during the week and trying to get it out for 4 hours and then PJ gets one up on him by talking about his ordeal of dropping his camera and breaking his lens which was an awful lot of money. For the theme they talk about frontal lobe development and Saturn’s Return and Kevin question’s whether his frontal lobe was already fully formed as a child because he never used to take risks and avoided bouncy castles at all costs.

Ep 141 - Cosmic Alarm Clock

Kevin chose violence by deciding to start his week off by watching clips on YouTube from the latest instalment of Britain’s Got Talent and of course he sobbed but he also can’t cope with the fact that a song from The Greatest Showman features every 4 minutes. And of course BGT can’t be discussed without mentioning PJ’s brief stint on the show as a dancing cat. Then prompted by the show Baby reindeer the lads discuss stalking; from their own innocent obsessions with the likes of Maxxie from Skins and professional dancer Anthony Kaye to crazy barbz who have started doxing anyone who comes for Nicki.

Ep 140 - Skins vs. Britannia High

Kevin just got back from Paris and he was disappointed by the lack of berets but completely overwhelmed by the number of baguettes. Then prompted by PJ’s recent marathon run the lads discuss having a third life crisis and the chaotic antics we get up to in our thirties. Remember girlies, there’s no rush so take it easy; Samuel L Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until the age of 46 and Oprah didn’t run a marathon until the age of 40 and she ran it faster than PJ.
