I'm Grand Mam

As we find ourselves forced to find alternate means of staying in touch, the lads trace their early experiences of making connections; from pretending to be popular to penpals to sieving through the sea of randomers’ willies on Chat Roulette and Omegle. PJ also shares his tips and tricks for maintaining a wholesome and healthy relationship with his fella and how they make long-distance work for them. Kevin doesn’t have a boyf so can’t offer advice but he does have his gruelling isolation schedule unwillingly revealed so stay tuned to find out what it is.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We’re all stuck inside the gaf but instead of wallowing in self-pity and allowing the existential dread to kick in the lads turn their attention to what they plan on doing with their free time. Prompted by everyone doing all the baking bits and putting up pictures of gorgey banana breads on Instagram, the lads put together a list of new skills that they want to master over the coming weeks. They also take a look back at different hobbies they had growing up but fell out of love with because they didn’t excel at them and as gay men they never settle for mediocrity.Produced by Factory Studios http://www.factory.uk.com/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s Mother’s Day so in this episode the lads pay homage to mammies everywhere and celebrate their iconic ways. Prompted by a video of Kevin’s mam blessing his sister’s car with holy water the lads ask for submissions from listeners of examples of peak mammy behaviour and the girlies don’t disappoint. The boys also take you through their A-Z of being an Irish mammy and also talk about ski bits.Produced by Factory Studios http://www.factory.uk.com/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

St Patrick’s Day is fast approaching and though the parades have been cancelled across Ireland the boys are still celebrating with a special episode about the history of Ireland. Unfortunately, neither of the lads have opened a history book since the Junior Cert so their knowledge is definitely a bit rusty but at least they’re passionate. Were all the Vikings rides? Why was Oliver Cromwell so lousy? Is the potato the most versatile vegetable going?

Prompted by the fact that everyone's allergic to the proposed plans to raise the rent of on-campus accommodation for students in several universities across Ireland, the boys decide to discuss their own past experiences with trying to find the perfect, glam gaf. They dish the dirt on previous housemates who they couldn't cope with, talk about landlords who were pure snakes and PJ also reveals a struggle that most Irish men have to come to terms with when they move away from home; how the heck do you work a washing machine?Produced by Factory Studios http://www.factory.uk.com/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s I’m Grand Mam’s first birthday and everyone’s invited to join Kevin and PJ in celebrating a year of having an absolute skittybang. Because the boys could not have anticipated everything that happened with the podcast over the last 12 months, they decide to call upon the powers of the angelic intuitive and tarot reader Rosemary Gallagher (IG: @Rosemary_tarot) to give them an insight on what’s to come in the future. Is success written in the stars for the boys? Will Kevin ever find a fella? Will Rihanna ever drop a new album? All will be revealed…Produced by Factory Studios http://www.factory.uk.com/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s Lent and though we know the lads don’t know a whole lot about Jesus and stuff they still try and suss out what happened in the desert for the 40 days and 40 nights. Naturally, Pancake Tuesday also gets a mention and the lads talk about their vices and what they’d like to cut out of their lives if they could be bothered.Produced by Factory Studios http://www.factory.uk.com/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The boys are back and better than ever and girlies you’re in for a treat. You’ll notice a difference in the quality of sound and no it’s not because Kevin has sorted out his lisp; the boys are now recording from the podcast lounge at Factory Studios on Oxford Street - ABSOLUTE NOTIONS! Once they get over the excitement of their new glam surroundings they turn their attention towards Valentines and discuss secret admirers, love languages and the levels of extra they’re willing to go to in order to win over a fella. Produced by Factory Studios http://www.factory.uk.com/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode the lads are going back to school and Kevin is weak cause he’s a pure nerd.

*yawns* As a fatigued Anastacia once said ‘I’m sick and tired of always being sick and tired.’ In this episode the lads talk about the fact that no one is getting any sleep at the moment and how as a result everyone looks bate and there’s nothing anyone can do about it because mercury is hanging around in retrograde like a bad smell. They talk about nightmares that haunted them in their childhood, how to combat exhaustion as a busy gay man in London and they also rank their favourite type of naps.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s Halloween so in this episode the lads talk all things scary (but nothing too scary as Kevin really doesn’t like scary movies). The lads discuss iconic costumes, going egging and Ouija board bits. Also, like episode five in the first season, the lads take the opportunity to answer some questions that have been submitted so have a listen to find out things you’ve always wanted to know about the boys like if they could be any Pokémon what one would they be.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode the lads talk all about ailments and afflictions. PJ shares his secret sick routine that he would perform the mornings when he didn’t want to go in to school and Kevin tells us how he pretended to be feeling just fine when he was under the weather as he couldn’t think of anything worse than going on the hop. They also couldn’t let the episode go by without discussing/reveling in the biggest scandal of the century. It’s….....Rebekah Vardy’s account.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this weeks episode the lads take it back to when the craic was 90. Prompted by Kevin’s recent appearance on the iconic Supermarket Sweep they discuss the recent trend of everything making a comeback. Join the boys as they take a trip down memory lane and share what they think should also be making a revival in 2019 and what should definitely stay in the past because it sends them. Will episode 13 prove to be a lucky number for the boys or will the magpies they failed to salute in their lives to date have something else to say about it?   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this week’s episode the lads trace social media back to its humble beginnings; from having to connect to the internet via the phone line to send a few brazen messages on MSN after school way back when to nowadays where we obsess over what caption we choose to go with our fresh photos with the bomb lighting. They also follow up on PJ’s theory about ice-cream men from the last episode and Kevin reveals why he’s going to be doing a lot of riding from now on.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The boys are back and are more of a skit than ever! First they catch you up on what's been happening over the course of their summer hiatus and teach you some of their new vocab so you can understand what exactly they're going on about. Then, prompted by Normani's latest single 'Motivation', they delve into the world of iconic music videos and try to determine how a pop princess achieves gay icon status and assess whether K-pop artists are truly happy or are actually robots/holograms incapable of feeling emotion.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's the season finale and the lads start off by taking a look back at their work to date and talk about their favourite episodes and discuss whether they feel they've delivered on what they promised in the first episode (hint: they haven't). Also in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots the lads talk all about Pride and how it means so much more to them than an artisanal meal deal sandwich in a rainbow coloured box. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @Imgrandmam  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this NSFW episode the lads talk all about sex but really don't end up doing a whole load of talking about sex at all because they're half mortified and also their mammies are listening and also they are very sexually inactive as PJ is in a long distance relationship and Kevin is forever alone. They talk about sex education in schools, upholding their reputations as masc dom tops and the episode also includes a not at all arousing reading from a renowned erotic novel.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
