Kevin and PJ had a busy week as they began shooting a tv series which didn't come without it's obstacles (a storm that resulted in a cancelled flight and diarrhoea). This week the boys ask if laughter really is the best medicine and examine how Irish people find the funny in every situation and question whether or not sometimes this is done to our detriment. The also explore why we have a tendency to laugh at the most inappropriate times and both agree that Donald Trump is hilarious.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' Australian tour 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.

It was Kevin's mam's birthday two weeks ago and himself and his siblings got her a new iPhone but she still hasn't started using it as in her own words. she needs to get an Otterbox first but she's too busy and has nothing done. She also got a new car recently but Kevin unsurprisingly hasn't a clue what make it is but he does know that it's a stunning shade of blue. As Halloween is fast approaching the lads decide to look at villains as the theme and discuss the evil characters from their youth who still send a shiver down their spine. They also discuss the reasons why the villains on screen often tended to be queer code and decide that Scar was the sexiest of all the Disney villains. Hosted on Acast.

PJ tried to pull a prank on his mam this week by telling her he's getting the cats christened but it completely backfires on him and further solidifies Nuala's ranking as one of the purest souls on this earth. This week the boys take a bit of a different route with the episode and do a Desert Island Discs special only they've had to call it Emerald Isle-and Picks because of copyright but you get the gist. PJ however must not have understood the assignment as some of his picks are inexplainable and inexcusable and downright chaotic.Get tickets for 'That's Showbiz' Australian tour 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 inhaled Pop Star Academy on Netflix and as a result they can't stop talking about it and going forward this is a Lexie stan account. Kevin also shares an embarrassing and what could have been career-ending story about a shirt he bought in a charity shop. The theme for the week is modern tourism and the lads discuss how they were traumatised that they couldn't make their annual trip to Barcelona this year as the locals were soaking tourists with squirtering guns.
