Ep 143 - The Rushkinoff Cough

The lads just witnessed a load of girlies in Cork en route to see Becky Hill and they were all done up to the nines and this prompts a discussion about the girlies from Little Mix and why they can’t seem to get their solo careers to take off. The theme for the week is languages and Kevin is delighted with life as he thinks etymology is very interesting but PJ thinks it’s snooze. They also discuss the origins of Polari, the language used by the gays in an effort to keep their lives a secret but also to reveal themselves to other friends of Dorothy.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 pope is being messy again using the f slur and the lads have to call her out on her shenanigans. PJ says the Vatican was always homophobic because when he was there on holidays there was nowhere to get a coffee. The theme for the week is celibacy prompted by the 4B Movement in South Korea that is spreading throughout Asia and the world in which women renounce dating men, marriage, sex with men and having children. They discuss the pressure of losing your virginity and also speak about the chaotic Disney Channel purity ring era but Nick Jonas if you're listening Kevin would love to sleep with you.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.

UK TOUR TICKETS: https://linktr.ee/Imgrandmam 💕It’s the last week of the Irish tour and Kevin’s preparing to head back to London and says he’ll miss Ireland’s sandwich culture the most. The boys also express their appreciation for an artist who is essentially Cork’s answer to Banksy, who’s been going around adding googley eyes to all the campaign posters for the local and European elections. As Father’s Day approaches the lads decide to celebrate the dads who are doing the work by reading out stories of dads being allies for the LGBTQ+ community and some of the submissions have Kevin and PJ up in a heap with how cute some they are and they are still screaming at the dad who says ‘hunty’.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The lads have just done their opening night of their tour and they're dying to catch the girlies up on how it went. The theme for the week is cults and the lads do a deep dive into what it takes for something to be a cult and the type of person likely to get indoctrinated into one. They then question whether I'm Grand Mam is a cult and decide whether they'd be cut out for the sacrificial elements of cults.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.

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.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 ✨Listen to the songs from the Bureau de Change Song Contest: https://bureaudechangesongcontest.bandcamp.com/album/the-bureau-de-change-song-contest-volume-3 💫 Hosted on Acast.

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.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.

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. 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.

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.The Sexual Violence Centre Cork are currently offering their services to victims of stalking in Ireland: visit sexualviolence.ie.Freephone: 1800 496 496 Text/Whatsapp: 087 1533 393Email: [email protected] 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.

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.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.

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.
