I'm Grand Mam

The lads are doing a public service this week and educating us about the origins of the phrase Locktober: spoiler alert girls, it originated with the gays! They’re also debating whether they’d have it in them to be nudists, or whether they’d be too Irish and mortified for it.

The theme for the week is misdirected messages, and as usual, the listener submissions didn’t disappoint! The boys hear stories of messages sent to the wrong people, phone calls made to people they shouldn’t have been, and recount their own misdirected message disasters!

This week, Kevin is imagining the labelling and organising possibilities in his future home, and as a result we learn that PJ doesn’t fold his t-shirts. Thoughts, feelings, concerns, girlies?

The theme for this week is Christian Girl Autumn, as PJ brings us on a journey through internet history to find out where this phenomenon was born. Despite the fact that neither of them enjoy a PSL and they can’t stand Taylor Swift, the boys are doing their best to get into the spirit of the cosy season.

This week, Kevin and PJ fangirl over the giant that is Donncha O’Callaghan. When a man’s that big, there’s even more of him to love, girls! Meanwhile, PJ’s husband José makes a starring appearance with his new French horn. Euphemism not intended…

The theme for this week is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the lads are asking the all-important question: did Buffy make us gay? From our lifelong attraction to a strong female lead and some iconic leather fashion moments to why every TV series needs to bring back the musical episode, the lads are revisiting the TV show that might just explain everything.

Kevin’s been on a wine run this week, which is exactly what it sounds like… and he’s not 100% sure he’d recommend it! The wine resulted in some post-run manscaping, and now he’s full of regret about the loss of his precious belly hair. Meanwhile, PJ has been teaching his mammy Nuala how to identify AI on the internet… while also worrying that he’s falling victim to it himself!

The theme for this week is lost media, as the boys have had some technology disasters this week and lost a full episode of the podcast! This unfortunate incident has inspired them to think about pieces of media that have disappeared- both intentionally and otherwise. They’re also thinking about what pieces of media they’d love to recover from their lives, and the stuff they wish would disappear forever!

Note from PJ & Kevin: Girlies, we've been battling gremlins when it comes to technology this month; first we lost a whole episode (more on that later), and this episode we had some audio issues when one of our mics started acting up mid-record. We've done our best to salvage it because we loved this ep- hopefully it's not too distracting for ye!

This week, Kevin catches us all up on his trip to the Lake District with the CrossFit crew, and his viral tiny blind video! The theme is dating disasters: we've all made some questionable decisions when it comes to dating, and there's no judgement here at I'm Grand Mam. The lads hear some hilarious submissions telling tales of red flags, bad behaviour and smelly feet.

PJ's been looking after his niece and nephew this week, and it's given him a newfound appreciation for everything our mams and dads did for us growing up: parenting isn't easy girls! Meanwhile Kevin is pondering getting a new therapist, but fighting hard against the urge to book a hot gay one.

The theme for this week is happiness, and the lads are unpacking the difference between being happy and content, while wondering what it really means to be happy. PJ breaks out some inspirational quotes for motivation, and Kevin wonders whether being in a relationship is something he needs to be happy in the long run?

Kevin and PJ have both encountered some serious road rage this week, and they can’t help but wonder: were people always this angry? They’re also officially speaking out against meta glasses, and posing the question: why do people spend money on designer sunglasses?

The theme for this week is celebrity memoirs, as both the lads (and the rest of the world) have been reading Famesick by Lena Dunham. They talk about their favourite celeb memoirs, unpack why we love them so much, and brainstorm titles for their own tell-alls!

The boys are back from their month-long break and they’re feeling refreshed, recharged and ready to record! They’ve done some lovely wholesome bits: farm stays and trips to Achill Island. But they’ve also got up to their fair share of chaos, true to form!

The theme for this week is hiatuses, as the lads discuss why going on a break is good for the body and soul. They talk about celebs that have taken prolonged breaks, wonder if hiatus is the word of the year, and wonder if Katseye need a break before every single one of them ends up on an indefinite hiatus!

PJ's been listening to Cher Lloyd and it's made him feel invincible, so get your swagger in check, girls! All this nostalgia has the lads reminiscing about playing run away knock as kids, and they're giving out advice to the adult victims... don't chase, it's what they want.

The theme for this week is things we wish we'd learned in school, and the boys are wondering why the girlies got to do home economics and they didn't? Although they don't envy them the panic of a night before double home ec with no ingredients in the gaff. They're also lamenting the fact that we were never taught the basics: money management, home cleaning and how to do a fierce smokey eye!

The lads are wondering why, as adults, we’re not using bunk beds anymore, and Kevin has decided there’s one in his very near future. PJ’s been at a hen over the weekend, and is starting a campaign to ban prosecco because the post-hen headache was next level. 

The theme for this week is movie sets, inspired by Christopher Nolan’s rules on set of The Odyssey. The lads discover that they’d have very little patience for rude directors and method actors, and they wonder why we can’t just have more fun on the shoots, girls?

PJ has a bone to pick with the Glambot, and the lads are thinking about all the crazy dangerous things they were doing as kids, mostly thanks to the neighbourhood trampoline. Kevin is also contemplating what he wants in a relationship: spoiler alert, he’s an independent woman!

This week, Kevin and PJ are introducing a brand new type of episode, unpacking something from their youth that had an impact on them growing up.

PJ's been booked and busy with a full-body M.O.T. this week, including seeing a podiatrist, and the boys are now debating getting into barefoot shoes- thoughts, feelings, concerns? He's also been to Trans and Intersex Pride, and is sparing a thought for the furries marching in the heat.

The theme for this week is the dark side of reality TV. The lads are talking about the not-so-glamorous side of reality TV, the ethics behind it, and hearing all the reasons Kevin couldn't go on Love Island.

Girlies, it’s a big week here at I’m Grand Mam, because Kevin is finally going gluten free in an attempt to settle his stomach. PJ is shocked to learn that Kevin’s been cooking dinners for his housemate, because that definitely wasn’t a perk that he enjoyed while the boys were living together. 

Inspired by the ever-soaring temperatures, the lads are discussing the end of the world this week: how scientists think it’s most likely to happen, who they’d want by their sides in an apocalypse situation, and if the world is ending... are we hitting the clubs?

PJ is on a crusade this week and demanding justice for pigeons; the humble messengers have been doing the Lord’s work for us, and we repay them by calling them rats in the sky. The lads are also analysing why Peppa Pig isn’t great for kids, and ask a very important question: where on earth is Corinne Bailey Rae? 

The theme for this week is herd mentality, and Kevin and PJ both had very different experiences growing up. PJ tried his best to fit in with the boys, and Kevin marched to the beat of his own drum. It’s all come good now though, because they’re both well able to keep from following the crowd and express their distaste for everything from Birkin bags to natural wine.

The lads start the episode by singing the praises of the humble delicacy that is toast. All this talk of food reveals that PJ doesn't have a kettle or a toaster and Kevin is scandalised. Kitchen appliances are getting out of hand, girls, but the boys will always love the airfryer.

The theme for this week is solo travel, and Kevin has been pondering whether it's time to do some solo jet-setting. The lads go through their top tips for solo travelling, and read out some chaotic stories from the listeners.

The lads are cooling off after what felt like the hottest week of all time in London, and the end of their UK tour! They had an absolute blast doing the tour and celebrating afterwards, but hangovers in the heat aren’t for the weak, girls. 

The theme for this week is the World Cup, and Kevin is putting his football knowledge to good use by giving us all the goss from this year's tournament. From the hotties on the pitch to the goss in the changing rooms, the lads have it covered. They might not know what the offside rule is, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know ball!

The lads are recording live from the pits of hell this week, preparing for the final date of their UK tour in the sweltering June heat. They catch up about Kevin’s recent visit to the sexual health clinic, and sing the praises of the icons working there. 

The theme this week is shopping, and PJ and Kevin are mourning the death of the high street and the hundreds of brick and mortar stores shutting down every year. Online shopping might be the future, but that doesn’t mean we have to like it: unless it’s Vinted girls, because we’re obsessed.

Kevin’s odd with Alexa because she didn’t wake him up in time this morning, and he ended up having an unscheduled lie-in. The lads discuss how they’re getting on with the new video element of the podcast, and somehow end up recapping the plot to Charlotte’s Web. 

The theme for this week is intergenerational relationships, inspired by Hacks ending, and thus the greatest intergenerational relationship of our time coming to an end (Ava and Deborah forever). The lads are talking all about the different generations, and why having friendships with people older than us is so important for the LGBTQ+ community. They also hear some heartwarming stories from listeners that leave them in bits.

The boys are praising the power of the vulva and the girlies shooting ping pong balls out of them this week. Standard. Travel woes are getting to both the boys, as PJ didn’t get frisked by the hot security guy at the airport and he’s raging, and Kevin is missing the superior Irish rail service.

In honour of pride month, the lads are talking all about gay villages this week. Many major cities have them: areas specifically catering to the LGBTQ+ community. Once created out of necessity, they've become hotspots for all kinds of nights out. PJ and Kevin are unpacking how gay villages came to be, their favourites around the world, and how the straights need to behave in the club.

PJ’s been star-spotting this week; he’s convinced he saw Deborah Meaden at the gym, and he reckons her head is probably wrecked from people trying to pitch business ideas to her. Kevin is launching a crusade against a certain brand of gay man who fell into the sale rack at Zara, said “I’ll take it”, and calls it fashion.The baby gays experimenting with rainbows and alternative looks though? Chefs kiss, we love you all. 

The theme for this week is the rise of the sociopath, and the lads are wondering: are we all sociopaths? Or are we just becoming too individualistic? The idea that if something doesn't serve you, you don't have to do it is gaining popularity… but in protecting ourselves, are we losing community? It’s a lot to unpack… the horse’s name is Friday, girls.

It’s an episode of extremes today, girls. PJ has been recovering from the worst hangover of his life after taking some bad drinking advice from an evil twink. Meanwhile, Kevin’s been to watch his pal run the Hoka Hackney Half Marathon, and he can’t get over how supportive and wholesome the vibes are. And how hot the lads are.

For the theme this week, the boys are breaking into the Khia Asylum: the fictional pop star purgatory manned by the Bebe Rexha’s and Ava Max’s of the world. They wonder what it takes for a pop girl to get stuck there, how they can break free, and whether Mickey Joe Harte deserves a cell.

Kevin and PJ are riding high from the response to their Sky ad with Roy Keane this week; the family group chats have never been busier and the mams have never been prouder! Speaking of sports, they’re obsessed with the new Cork City Pride jerseys and how impactful they’ll be for queer people in sports.

Inspired by their recent episode about intelligence, the lads are talking all about moments of stupidity. The listeners have sent in stories of the stupidest thing they’ve ever done or thought, and girlies… ye didn’t disappoint! From fruit towns with fruit people to real-life black markets, the lads are absolutely howling at some of the blonde moments confessed this week.

Kevin is singing the praises of home makeover TV shows to a skeptical PJ this week, and the lads are inspired to think about their dream homes as kids (and adults, to be honest): secret doors and beds shaped like cars, anyone?

Speaking of kids, that’s the theme for this week: the boys are unpacking how attitudes to having kids have changed, why the right wingers are obsessed with making women have babies, and wondering who on earth is having sex with Elon Musk? They’re also unpacking whether they want kids themselves, or if the DINK/SINK life is just too appealing.

Sickness has hit I’m Grand Mam towers this week, after a run of Irish tour dates and a busy period for the lads. Kevin is gearing up for this birthday, and the boys are addressing the allegations that their Cork accents are all for show; you got them, gals!

The theme for this week is intelligence. As the old adage goes, you can’t judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, so Kevin and PJ are unpacking what it means to be clever. They talk through the different types of intelligence, how street smarts are just as valuable as Leaving Cert results and how being funny is the smartest thing you can be.

Another busy week for the lads as they’ve been filming a top secret project and continuing the Irish leg of the tour. Kevin’s been crying (beautifully), PJ found his missing necklace with the help of Nuala and St. Anthony, and the PTs have been blowing up the DMs. 

This week the theme is child stars, and PJ and Kevin are counting their lucky stars that they didn’t make it in showbiz as children. From Shirley Temple to Judy Garland to the Disney and Nickelodeon kids, child stardom isn’t all it’s cracked up to be; in fact, it seems to be downright dangerous.

‘Tis all go, girlies! The lads have been busy with touring, work commitments and buzzing social lives: so busy that Kevin has had to colour-code his Google cal. PJ was at his nephew’s confirmation this week, and was shocked to discover that kids aren’t getting slapped by the bishops as part of the ceremony any more. He’s even more shocked to learn that this was actually never common practice, and concludes that it must have been exclusive to the northside of Cork.

This week, the topic is sequels, prequels and remakes. With the Devil Wear’s Prada 2 coming out soon, Kevin and PJ are wondering why every movie that’s released these days seems to be a sequel or a remake of a beloved classic. They talk about the best sequels of all time (Shrek 2, anyone?), movies they’d love to see remade, and pick their favourites from the High School Musical trilogy.

Kevin’s keen to learn to drive, but with the fuel protests across Ireland this week, he’s not sure how useful it would be. The lads stand with the farmers, obviously, even if it did take PJ 5 hours to get from Cork to Dublin for Jordan’s wedding. Speaking of Jordan’s wedding, we find out more about PJ's antics on the stag, and why the wives and girlfriends at the wedding were fuming with him.

The theme for this week is luck; the ‘lucky girl’ aesthetic is all the rage right now, so the lads have been wondering how much of luck is mindset, and whether they believe in lucky traditions and superstitions.

The lads have absolutely had it with April Fool’s Day antics on social media, and think it’s about time we put a stop to it. In better news, this week Kevin’s family have been celebrating his brother’s engagement, which leads them to talk about the general mortification of Irish people doing… well, anything.

The theme for this week is teenage discos, and we’re throwing it back to a time laden with the scent of hairspray and Lynx Africa. It might be a rite of passage, but the teenage disco brought with it a whole lot of anxiety and pressure to fit in socially. The boys hear wild submissions from the listeners, covering everything from the best way to sneak vodka into to the disco, and the girlies kissing record numbers of boys in one night.

Kevin is on a crusade against culinary trends this week, and matcha and hot honey on pizza are in the firing line. PJ’s heartbroken that he failed his NCT (mainly because he chickened out of leaving a bribe in the glovebox), even though he’s loving booting around Cork in the car.The speed of the drive from the northside to the southside even inspires the lads to call for unification of the two sides of the river in The Rebel City. 

The theme for this week is inventions, and the boys are unpacking some of the most influential inventions of all time. They’re also talking about inventions that we thought would take off but didn’t (3D glasses anyone?) and pitching some iconic ideas of their own.

The lads are buzzing after their first tour date, despite PJ losing his voice on stage and having had a gang of firemen round his gaff responding to a faulty carbon monoxide alarm. Meanwhile Kevin is lamenting the fact that Carmit has been excluded from the Pussycat Dolls reunion tour, but decides that if Kimberley can get her leg above her head and do her famous tilt, all will be forgiven.

For the theme this week, the boys are talking all about family feuds. From the Dunnes Stores saga to the world’s most famous elevator ride, we know that no family is immune to drama. They talk through some of the most common reasons for family fights, hear listener stories and discuss how to mend a rift.

Kevin and PJ have been in their best goth drag this week, and they can’t stop thinking about how hot they both looked in black eyeliner! Getting their makeup done makes them think back on their experiences with stage makeup as children, and they also start planning a charity drag night: watch this space, girlies!

For the theme, inspired by their upcoming Happy Campers shows, the lads are discussing all things tours: tour life, venue choices and the highest grossing tours of all time. From Taylor Swift to Coldplay, they can’t help but wonder what these artists are doing with all the millions and billions of bobs they’re making from touring the world.

Kevin’s had enough of PJ’s journey of enlightenment and self-improvement, which isn’t helped by PJ telling us all about his day farming and learning to grow his own veg in Wicklow. In other news, Kevin has had his now infamous polyp removed, and luckily his anaesthetist was fairly easy on the eyes, girls.

For the theme, the lads are discussing personality tests, specifically the Enneagram (which we now know has nothing to do with Scientology: phew!). Inspired by Amy Poehler and her Enneagram obsession, they take the quiz to uncover what personality type they are, and what traits they have in common.

The lads are buzzing after their second appearance on the Late Late Show, and not even the abysmal Facebook comments can bring them down! They laugh at some of the worst ones, while also acknowledging the loyal girlies who always have their backs. They then turn their attention to the mortal enemy of healthy gut microbiome everywhere: the airport sandwich. Inspired by Bad Bunny’s recent Super Bowl performance, the theme for this week is celebrity activism. The boys discuss some of the celebrities who have advocated for causes throughout their careers, and wonder whether we expect too much from our pop culture figures. Oh, and they have to ask: what the heck is going on with Nicki Maga Minaj?!

Strap in girlies: PJ is giving us the inside scoop on the WhatsApp group dedicated to farts that he’s been added to this week, and it’s harrowing stuff. The boys also discuss all the tea from the new America’s Next Top Model documentary, including Tyra attempting to gaslight us all in her now infamous trenchcoat.

In honour of International Women’s Day on March 8th, the lads are talking all about their favourite people: the girlies! The theme for this week is feminism, so Kevin has an excuse to talk about the ultimate feminist queen, Lisa Simpson, as well as the connection that gay men have to the women in their lives. They also discuss some of Ireland’s most impactful feminist icons and unpack common feminist stereotypes.

This week Kevin enters his glasses era after discovering he has astigmatism and the lads spend a significant amount of time unpacking what this means for him personally, professionally and spiritually. While the realisation has shaken him slightly, mainly because it has forced him to confront the fact that youth is perhaps not as close as it once was, there are upsides. Chief among them is the discovery that wearing glasses may actually improve his flirting success rate.

For the theme, Kevin and PJ dive into dating horror stories. From a girl whose date casually drove off in her car for twenty minutes leaving her stranded on a country road, to a man who spent an entire date aggressively eating wedges with greasy hands and an alarming number of ketchup sachets, the lads weigh in on the red flags, the survival tactics and the lessons learned.

This week Kevin and PJ are celebrating seven years of I'm Grand Mam. The lads take a trip down memory lane, reflecting on the highs, the lows and everything in between that’s happened since they first hit record. From chaotic early episodes to the milestones they never saw coming, it’s a proper sentimental moment… well, as sentimental as they allow themselves to be. Producer Sadhbh has also done some investigative work and listened back to the first five episodes, arriving with notes and a few pointed questions to see whether the boys still stand by some of the opinions they confidently shared seven years ago. Spoiler alert: growth has occurred.

And because it would not be a celebration without them, Mam Knows Best makes a triumphant return as Phil and Nuala step in to offer their iconic wisdom and sage advice on listeners’ dilemmas.

This week the lads are pondering the benefits of taking on a bit of fixer upper when dating; the return on investment is tenfold, girls! They also discuss PJ’s grooming habits, and Kevin sings “boots, that’s my ego boost” approximately 704 times. 

Then for the theme, the boys are covering something near and dear to their hearts: the TV talent show. They reminisce on everything from Cher Lloyd’s iconic Halloween cover of Stay, to Ireland’s best talent show, You’re A Star. They also make some pretty big claims, including that Girls Aloud’s discography is better than the Spice Girls. Fight amongst yourselves in the comments, girlies.

Kevin’s feeling a bit under the weather this week, and PJ’s advice isn’t going down too well. This week, the lads talk all about pretentious London yoga classes, hot instructors and PJ’s recent D.I.Y. successes, before unpacking the perils of cooking with chillies. Just an average day at I’m Grand Mam HQ!

For the theme, inspired slightly by Heated Rivalry, they dive into double lives. Covering everything from Hannah Montana to spy Mata Hari and actor Rock Hudson, they realise that queer people can particularly relate to the idea of having a double life. They then read some listener stories and take one main thing away from them: having a double life would have them wrecked.

This week Kevin and PJ recount a tasting menu experience in Lisbon. While they fully respect the ethos of zero-waste restaurants, the lads admit that tackling fermented everything while severely hungover was not their finest moment and the very modest portion sizes did little to lift spirits.

For the theme, they dive into the Brooklyn Beckham drama, sharing their thoughts, giving their two cents, and discussing how intimidating it must be to find yourself in a feud where your nemesis is, quite literally, a Spice Girl.

The boys are in Lisbon and as gorgeous as the city is Kevin takes a moment to criticise all the hills and cobbled roads that resulted in him falling off a Lime scooter en route to a Crossfit class. PJ reminisces on his chaotic 18th birthday party where fake IDs and stray fists were in plentiful supply. Prompted by this episode coming out on Blue Monday the lads have a discussion about made up holidays and ask why January is such a depressing month and Kevin puts forward a bid for dry January to be changed to a dry November going forward because the month is already horrendous enough as it is. They also make plans for celebrating I'm Grand Mam day which is happening on the 16th of February when the podcast celebrates 7 years in production.

This week PJ reveals his new dream of becoming a DJ, while Kevin reflects on his time in dance college and the surprising amount of it spent battling vertigo after endless pirouettes. For the theme, the lads turn their attention to major world religions and ask the big question: if you were not born into your religion, would you actually choose it? With thousands of religions practiced around the world, and both of them raised in the Christian faith with plenty of Catholic guilt to show for it, Kevin and PJ explore different belief systems to see if any of them might tickle their fancy.

This week PJ discovers that his mam has her priest’s personal number and has been quietly organising communion drop offs via Whatsapp while she’s been unable to attend mass with her leg, which raises several questions for the lads. There is also a live tasting of José’s homemade biscuits in studio and Kevin recalls the antics of his Crossfit Christmas night out.

For the theme the lads share their ins and outs for the year. PJ declares contradicting yourself firmly in and WHOOPS officially out, while Kevin predicts that 2026 will be a big year for corn and but he says he'd like to see the end of the focaccia sandwich.

This Christmas Kevin and PJ are back home in Cork for a very special charity episode recorded with Cork Penny Dinners. They sit down with General Manager Sharon Murphy to chat about the history of the charity and the incredible work it does not just at Christmas, but 365 days of the year. From providing hot meals to those who need them most, to expanding into a full community hub on James Street where people can learn IT skills and take part in social inclusion programmes, Cork Penny Dinners is at the heart of the city. Kevin and PJ also run around meeting some of the volunteers and big personalities who keep everything ticking and even get involved in a Christmas singalong.

To support the work being done by Cork Penny Dinners, Kevin and PJ donated €1,000 to the charity. If you enjoy the episode and are in a position to do so, they would love for you to consider making a donation too and help support Cork Penny Dinners, which receives no government funding and relies entirely on generosity and community spirit.

This week Kevin and PJ are chatting about letting hobbies stay as hobbies and not turning every interest into a side hustle. They also admit that just because something is homemade does not automatically mean it is good. While they may host a comedy podcast, the lads are keen to remind everyone that when it comes to shoots, they do in fact serve glamour.

For the theme, they run through their Tops of the Year, covering everything from internet searches and music to Grindr tags and share what stood out to them most. They would also like to apologise to Kingfishr and their fans and would like to invite the boys to come on the podcast if they're not too busy.

This week Kevin announces that he will not be putting up a Christmas tree in London, insisting he is done being the one who returns home first in January only to face the depressing task of taking down all the decorations alone. PJ immediately brands him a Scrooge, though Kevin maintains it is simply self-preservation. He also has a gripe to air about retail websites that promise ten percent off if you sign up to their newsletter, only to withhold the discount code for a full twenty-four hours, long after the impulse to buy has died.

Because the lads feel there is far too much pressure to have a picture-perfect Christmas, they invite listeners to send in their own festive disasters. From uncooked turkeys to festive infidelity, they want to remind everyone that no one’s Christmas is flawless and we can all take comfort in the chaos together.

PJ rants about the devastation he experiences living in an apartment block and coming home to a mountain of parcels and getting all excited only to discover none are for him. The lads also share their thoughts on Wicked: For Good, with Kevin unable to move past Elphaba wearing an Anthropologie knit cardigan during the only sex scene in the whole film.

For the theme, Kevin and PJ dive into the current Celtic revival, chatting about the surge in love for CMAT, Fontaines D.C., claddagh motifs and the sudden obsession with “splitting the G.” While they adore seeing people embrace their Irishness, they cannot help but worry that the hype might be more trend than tradition.

This week Kevin and PJ are feeling fragile as PJ’s back is in bits after a yoga class and the lads realise it is probably a blessing they do not have periods because they would absolutely never shut up about it. For the theme they dive into GLP 1s, prompted by the rise of Ozempic and Mounjaro. They chat about their own relationships with their bodies, the way fat people are treated in society and how Irish mothers are far more likely to compliment you on losing five pounds than saving a life.

This week PJ has a few bones to pick with Kevin, starting with the fact that Kevin apparently does not shower. He claimed he had no time to wash after his CrossFit class, yet still managed to take a thirst trap and post it in the name of engagement. PJ also discovers that Kevin secretly sold the television they went halves on and forgot to tell him entirely.

For the theme, the lads dive into Karen submission stories. One standout tale involves a girl who was meant to mind her friends cat for two weeks, but months later she still has it, her boyfriend is allergic and she has ended up with a vet bill of two thousand euro.

Kevin and PJ are unpacking the single life this week, all sparked by that viral Vogue piece asking, 'Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?'.They debate whether being single is now a flex, question the awkwardness of posting your partner online, and reflect on how much our self-worth really depends on relationship status. Along the way, they share their own dating faux pas, the pressure (or relief) of staying solo and whether Kevin only craves a relationship on a Sunday evening so he can halve the cost of the Deliveroo.

The them for Science Week 2025, which is supported by Research Ireland is 'Then, Today, Tomorrow.,' and Kevin and PJ are exploring how Artificial Intelligence has evolved from a futuristic fantasy to one of the most powerful tools in modern science. To guide them through it, they’re joined by Professor Alan Smeaton, one of Ireland’s leading experts in AI and data analytics at DCU. The conversation takes in AlphaFold and the breakthroughs it’s bringing to drug discovery, the use of computer vision to analyse medical scans and biopsies and the rise of wearable tech that helps us monitor our own health and wellbeing.

Kevin and PJ are back and have a lot to talk about thanks to Lily Allen’s new album, West End Girl. PJ finds himself stepping into some playground drama in his apartment block but isn’t sure if he stopped a bullying incident or just ruined a friendship. Kevin’s found a stunning new wine spot but the presence of a charcuterie board has PJ on edge. Kevin also shares tales from Amsterdam where the raving was intense and the mesh confusing. For the theme, the lads chat lyrical payback, Lily Allen’s divorce from David Harbour, and whether they’d like to be the villain in someone’s breakup album.

Surrounded by jazz-goers and good vibes, the lads chat about the origins of the festival, share their early memories of celebrating the Jazz and issue a gentle warning about the perils of dating a musician. They also read some listener stories from Cork Jazz weekends gone by including iconic tales involving a brass band on top of a bus and there's even an impromptu performance from a stunning jazz singer.

They get to grips with all the ghost-hunting gear, find out which spots in Cork are the most haunted and spend most of the night gasping over the convent’s interiors: the floors, the spiral staircase, the crown mouldings… stunning!

PJ’s after getting a new couch but has enforced a strict “no sex on the new sofa” policy because it was pricey girls. He also confesses his deep love for waffles while Kevin argues there’s something inherently Protestant about the smiley-faced ones. The boys then dive into the dark world of doom scrolling as their screen times hit new highs, leading Kevin to realise maybe it was a good thing he never got that iPad after all.

Put your paws up! This week Kevin recalls a trip to a fancy café where he wasn’t being taken seriously, so naturally he decided to draft a fake invoice for €196k to assert dominance. The lads also chat about the unique joy (and silent panic) of seeing your friends in a show they’ve made themselves because what do you say if it wasn’t great? To top it off, Kevin’s just seen Lady Gaga on the Mayhem Ball tour and his life will never be the same again. Luckily for PJ (and the rest of us), he took notes.

This week the boys talk suds, sweat and split ends. PJ opens up about a traumatising childhood trip through a car wash that has meant he typically opts for a manual wash vibe which Kevin struggles to believe. Meanwhile Kevin’s done a Hyrox event and bleached his hair in the same week but he swears he’s not having a breakdown. The lads also debate the burning question: do blondes really have more fun or is it just bleach-induced delusion?

Kevin and PJ have an important message to share with the men of the world; stop making your noses smaller and start smiling more. It's that simple really. For the theme they dive into the moments, trends and shows that should have been bigger but somehow weren’t. From missed cultural waves to pop groups that fizzled out, the boys unpack why certain things never got the spotlight they deserved. Was it bad timing or a lazy marketing campaign? Or was it just Louis Walsh acting the ejit? Perhaps it's a combination of all of the above.

PJ is back on his yoga buzz which Kevin isn't too pleased with as he doesn't want PJ to become more flexible than he is. They get into a discussion about instances where they had to whip the bob out and ask for the manager and go full on Karen because though they don't believe the customer is always right, when they're the customers, they are always right. As it's September and kids have gone back to school Kevin and PJ read out submissions from teachers to see if there's anything they'd like to get off their chests.

It's been one whole year since PJ and Jose Kirby Galang tied the knot down in Inis Beg and to mark the anniversary the boys ventured down to West Cork to the island where they married to plant a tree and Kevin questions whether they will be able to last another year or not. They explore magic as the theme and Kevin recalls seeing a magician for the first time on board Brittany Ferries on a trip to Roscoff and decides to add Brittany Ferry to his list of potential drag names and PJ shares stories about his chaotic imaginary friend from his childhood.

Girlies, this week Kevin and PJ are joined by international popstar and Sunday roast enthusiast JADE!

During the episode, the lads finally settle their ongoing beef with JADE over the use of the title “That’s Showbiz” once and for all, before diving into a chat about the music industry, her LGBTQ+ advocacy and even her secret talent for Sudoku.

Once the boys earned her trust, they managed to get JADE to agree to feature on their next single “Let’s Douche”—an activity she would apparently like to witness, should there be any volunteers.

While everyone waits for that bop to drop, listeners must brace themselves for JADE’s debut solo album “THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY!” releasing on September 12th. The record is packed with iconic lyrics that fans can steal for their Grindr bios, and it’s already available to pre-order at shop.jadeofficial.com.

JADE has also announced her tour, which kicks off in Dublin this October because, understandably, she’s obsessed with the Irish.

Influenced by Kevin who was the first person to go on holidays to Malta ever, PJ took a trip there recently with his friend Layla who had her clit out on a catamaran and PJ tells us all about it. Then, prompted by the chaotic American Eagle campaign with Sydney Sweeney and the even more ridiculous ELF campaign with Matt Rife the lads talk about the weird, wonderful and woeful world of advertising. They go through some copy lines and decide whether they are real ads or simply fads and recall their favourite jingles from adverts back in the day; WiMAX man you will always be famous.

PJ had the best time on a recent trip to Waterford but thinks the town might be hiding a dark secret because there were no adults present only teens (though they were doing a bang up job and they ran a tight ship). As PJ is still riding off the high of passing his driving test the lads decide to do a submissions episode based around chaotic car stories. We hear about a driving instructor with a creepy long nail that he used to scratch students with when mistakes were made and a lesbian who risked her life in a Fiat 500 in the middle of the French countryside that has the lads wanting to have the story made into an A24 film.

The lads kick the episode off by reading out some comments they received from very angry men on Instagram and TikTok and make a plea to the girlies to go and give their dad a hug because the men of Ireland are obviously shooketh. PJ details an encounter with a chaotic B&B owner on a trip to Scotland for his friend's wedding before the boys dive into an episode about celebrity deaths. Both of the lads are in agreement that if they were to pass that people are to only use recent photos that have featured on their Instagram pages when doing the obituary and tagged photos are off limits. Thank you for respecting their wishes.

Kevin had a 360 moment this week as he went to see Oliver on the West End and PJ questions whether it was actually a 360 moment and Kevin retorts that Dua Lipa confused him by saying 'Did a fully 180, baby' because 180 is only a half turn. Ultimate confusion.

Then the lads discuss a topic that they've wanted to discuss for ages and kind of already have been discussing in part in previous episodes, especially since they watched Dream Academy on Netflix and it's the iconic world of K-pop. From trainees to debuts, icons to a bias, the lads break it all down and leave no light-stick unturned when delving into South Korea's most lucrative export.

PJ is over the moon as he has just passed his driving test and is now a fully licensed diva. Kevin nearly tips him over the edge emotionally as he surprises him with a thoughtful gift to celebrate the achievement. The theme for the week is inner child and the lads discuss the rise of toys like Labubus, Jellycats and Sonny Angels and whether they're an indicator that people are looking for a playful escape or are looking to heal a past trauma. They also agree that one of the best things about moving away from home is being able to buy whatever cereal you want in the shop and eating it at any tine of day.

Kevin's absolutely mortified as he's been away on another holiday and he doesn't want people to think he's all notions but he says it's a holiday he couldn't miss as it was the first one with his niece and core memories were made on that trip. The trip reminded him how much he loves Spanish radio which prompts PJ to have a moment of realisation about the pronunciation of a certain Spanish phrase. The theme for the week is chaotic coworkers and the lads read out submissions of people in the workplace who've been acting a bit bonkers.

The boys had the most amazing trip to Portugal and can't wait to tell you all about it including a spur of the moment date with a boy from The Lebanon which involved fish bones being removed from teeth and a lot of hills. They choose alternative festivals as the theme for the week and spend most of the time discussing the ploughing championships because they'd really love to go to judge the brown bread making competition and Kevin would love to find a farmer for himself.

It's the 200th episode and the boys can't believe it. What started out as a a fun project that the lads started at their kitchen table six years ago has grown into something that they could never have imagined with a whole community of girlies around the world listening. To celebrate they did a call out for the 'Greatest Girlie Going' - I'm Grand Mam's biggest fan and they selected Sarah from Kinsale in Cork. The boys invited her and her mam to come to London for an all expenses paid trip and they had a scream and then had the chats with Sarah in this episode. Their producer Sadhbh also came along to join in the celebrations and she also has a special surprise for Kevin and PJ to mark this milestone episode.

The theme for the week is recession indicators resulting in a heated exchange between Kevin and PJ over the ranking of different forms of potatoes.

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.

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.

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.

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. Enough is enough.

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.

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.

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. Poor Laika.

Plus they put together a comeback cheat sheet to shut down tired and transphobic talking points.

The lads are a little bit worse for wear as they had a big weekend in Killarney with their live show on the Friday and a friend’s hen on the Saturday which involved a lot of hijinks but was a lot of fun and made them come to the realisation that Killarney is actually a skit. The theme for the week is perception and Kevin talks about the pressure he's been experiencing since being referred to as 'cool' and although it's never something he saw for himself it actually makes a lot of sense but it's just taking a small bit of adjusting to.

The lads discuss the universal experience of setting foot into a Zara store and feeling immediately judged by the employees and the chaotic clothing sizes. Then, because every pride season there's always some deranged straight person harping on about there being no such thing as straight pride, the lads decide to delve deep into hetty lifestyle and culture and discuss what aspects of it they actually find appealing and might like to take part in because let's face it, darts and escape rooms do seem pretty fun. They also reach out to family and friends and ask them what they think the straightest thing about them is and Kevin's brother Shane really struggled to come up with an answer.

Kevin has been for a colonoscopy this week which he found really stressful as he had to fast for 24 hours beforehand but was starving after the first hour. He also has a confession to make about the Trocaire 24 hour fast. As it's Mother's Day, the theme for the week is unconventional mothers and the lads read submissions shared by listeners of the people in their lives who, while not their biological mothers, have stepped into that nurturing role. They also discuss people in pop culture who are giving mother and sorry to Megan Trainor but you are not giving mother you're giving cousin.

In the catchup the lads discuss the fact that every stage school in Ireland did a number in their end of year show to Black and Gold by Sam Sparro the year the Fame remake came out and Kevin also opens up about his fear that his memory is no longer what it used to be.

In the catch-up this week, PJ and Kevin discuss their differing views when it comes to organised fun.

Then, inspired by Charli XCX's song Apple they compare the notion of nature versus nurture and examine just how much we actually inherit from our parents. They also decide that they need to book a holiday asap because they need a bit of excitement in their lives after a very busy January and February.

They also give an aggressive and intimidating word of warning to the guy who stole Kevin's iPhone. Then, prompted by PJ's obsession with his luscious locks, they take hair as the theme for the week and explore the notion of a bad hair moment having the ability to make or break one's day.
