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 happiest place to live for the 8th year in a row despite little hours of sunshine, they struggle to accept it as they don't know anyone from Finland and deduce that they must make a trip there to try the theory out for themselves.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

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 words to say about it and won't stop singing the songs from it either. The lads never end up discussing the theme they had planned as they got too carried away by a more important conversation.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

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 of design and the tragedy of stunning form being sacrificed for function and put out a plea to be made the Ireland's official Ministers for Cuntification.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

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 don't need a barista style coffee machine in their shop just for the sake of it.

In this episodes the lads spill the tea on the difference between Milano's and Pizza Express and Kevin also opens up about his struggle with mastering the art of the body ripple. PJ was recently at his niece's communion and he couldn't cope with how good all the girlies were at the violin and also the priest was a bit of a skit so the lads decide to talk about communions and confirmations for the theme. Ms Roche Kevin has still not gotten over his Cloud's Veil snub.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

In the last episode of Don't Tell Mam that the lads recorded Kevin mentioned a diva from his youth who used to make everyone line up to give him his birthday presents at his birthday party and if he didn't like the gift he threw it to one side in front of everyone...kind of iconic to be fair to the boy. This prompted the boys to do an episode on BDE - Big Diva Energy - so they did a callout for submissions and they confess that they had a fear that some of the stories were going to be a bit chips on head but the girlies delivered and some of the stories have them howling.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The year is 2010 and Crystal Swing have flown stateside to perform their hit single 'He Drinks Tequila' on The Ellen Degeneres Show and it all feels like a bit of a fever dream but Kevin can't help but want a pair of Ellen underwear (but his mam won't pay for the customs and shipping). The theme is space travel and the lads talk about the cunty origins of the word astronaut, discuss crazy abduction stories and say how they think it's lousy that they put dogs in space.

It's a sad state of affairs this week as PJ broke his couch and Kevin fell asleep whilst kissing a boy. In the wake of the UK Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the legal definition of biological sex, the boys take a step back to explore the long, rich and often overlooked history of trans people. Plus they put together a comeback cheat sheet to shut down tired and transphobic talking points.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

It’s Kevin’s birthday weekend and there’s mischief in the air. PJ discusses spending some lovely time with him mam over Easter and Kevin discusses how hot all the lads are who shop at B&Q.
