In this episode the lads speak about their shared hatred of fedoras and conclude that Britney is the only person on the planet who can pull them off.

As the video of Kevin injuring himself made it into his March dump he decides to speak his truth and talk about his ordeal on the cursed mode of transport that is the Lime bike. He also reveals that when faced with his bike being stolen, instead of going into fight or flight his adrenal glands opted for freeze. The theme for the week is work/life balance and the boys discuss the ways in which attitudes are changing to employment and how in the words of Kim K, it seems like ‘nobody wants to work these days’. PJ then puts forward a very compelling argument for a communist state with the promise of organic veg for everyone but Kevin suggests he gives Animal Farm a read first.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

PJ has a bone to pick with Kevin and it's regarding a comment he made nearly two years ago in Edinburgh after a call with a production company. Sensing fear in PJ's eyes about having to act, a skill which Kevin already had in wheelhouse from his time on the platoon in Les Mis, Kevin tried to reassure his friend by saying he could get acting lessons which sent PJ into a spiral. TV production companies if you're listening to this episode PJ has been working on his accents and can do a fab French one. The theme is good deeds and the lads talk about acts of kindness not counting because people are filming it for social media, virtue signalling and their favourite celebrity ever George Michael.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads are fed up. They're fed up of slow coaches, of lads hanging off bars in Stratford, of people accusing them of being classist and of angry dads in Howth. They've had enough! Because it's Easter the lads decide to do an episode around habits. Firstly they discuss the things they used to give up for lent when they were younger and Kevin reenacts drinking water for the first time. Then PJ outs Kevin for his habit of picking his nose and invents a habit for himself so he doesn't feel left out.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The conversation is off to a wholesome start this week as PJ talks about his recent holistic endeavours which involved an evening of yoga and ice baths and a claim that breath work is the new MDMA. Kevin meanwhile gets his highs from playing Sandstorm by Darude in his spin class. The theme for the week is jealousy, the green eyed monster, something everyone experiences at some point in their life but for some reason most of us are too mortified to admit it. They talk about being jealous when they were younger of the kids in the estate who could do the Pele 7 and being jealous nowadays when one of the girlies on Instagram posts a pic of her fella and he's all caked up. Life can be so unfair.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The boys have nothing done and tis all go as they've just announced their new live tour 'That's Showbiz' which will be kicking off at the end of May. Then prompted by Cillian Murphy's recent Oscar win for best actor and because it's Paddy's Day the lads have a conversation about the Irish buachaillí having a bit of a moment in Hollywood as of late with girlies and gays alike all being a tad bit obsessed and thirsting after them. They also discuss the fact that they've no clue about how odds work when it comes to placing bets (not that they're really all that fussed anyway because going into betting shops makes them feel depressed and on edge).Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' here: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

Every so often Kevin likes to remind the listeners that PJ used to use an eyebrow pencil to fill in his moustache before a night out in London and today is one of those days. But these days he’s using the eyebrow pencil on his actual eyebrows as he has made his drag debut as Siobhán Yanickers and all the queens of Dublin have been left shaking in their thigh high boots. The Oscar love curse is the starting point for this weeks theme where the boys discuss the concept of having it all. They talk about gender roles and how their non-existent ovaries explode whenever they see a dad in the wild doing a fab job with kids and they reveal that having it all for them is something as simple as having a fridge fully stocked with cans of fizzy drinks to return home to in the evening.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

In this weeks catchup the lads discuss Kevin nearly getting the I’m Grand Mam account banned on TikTok and PJ quizzes Kevin on where he plans on putting a desk in his room. Then prompted by the new arrival in the Twomey family the lads look at names and how significant they are. They talk about what other names were in contention when they were born, whether they like their own names, discrimination based on a name and the most important part of the chat is realising PJ doesn’t really look like a PJ at all and should be called Timmy with @JustTimmy as his Instagram handle.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

It's not spring unless PJ has uttered his favourite phrase 'spring has f*cking sprung' and with that the lads talk about what flowers they envision themselves as. The pair then get into a discussion about whether the English Market or the Marina Market is better. In very exciting news Kevin welcomes the arrival of his beautiful niece and he has never been more in love so the lads decide to talk about the joy and pressure of being an iconic guncle.

The record is off to a rocky start as the boys were locked out of the house and Kevin had to slip in through the window which was a struggle but his ass looked amazing. This week the nepo babies of the world come under scrutiny and the lads question if certain celebrities are decent at what they do or are they just riding on their mam and dad’s coattails. They also extend their sympathies to anyone who grew up with a mam who was a milf as it couldn’t have been easy. Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.
