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.

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 also talk about the iconic yet chaotic merch available to buy at Lourdes.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 boys are back after a short break and oh my goodness do they have loads to catch up on. PJ got married and Kevin took himself off on honeymoon with Pádraig and to be fair they could have done with the break. The entirety of the episode is spent catch up on the antics that took place in Ibiza and the antics that took place on Inish Beg and of all the antics that took place, Kevin's mam trying to get started on people in order to secure her first tattoo probably tops the list.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.

Before recording the lads spotted kids around the corner having a jumble sale and though Kevin criticises the graphic deign of their poster it still made the lads smile. To keep the joyous mood going the lads decide to take a look at some of the recent good news stories that have happened in the world because they reckon the Irish sometimes love to focus on the negative and love listening to misery.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 absolutely wrecked and it's not just because of their hangover, it's because they kayaked across the length and breadth of the Atlantic for PJ's stag. But the vibes are high because PJ had the best time and the lads share all their antics from PJ's last hoorah before he becomes Mr Kirby Galang. They then do a second edition of chaotic stag and hen stories and their thoughts are with the fella who was kidnapped and thrown into the boot of car because he loves horror movies - sure God love him.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 got new bedding during the week so of course he has to make the world aware of it and even though it's the height of summer he opted for a heavy tog duvet because he couldn't resist the luxury of it all. The theme for the week is old age and the lads discuss society's treatment of older people and how mad it is that our own mams have lived double our lives. They also have a nice chat about their nans and express their appreciation for cheeky auld ones from Cork.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 is showing off his new beard whilst Kevin is complaining about toothache. But how can anyone be upset or annoyed at the world when there are adorable kids going around supermarkets with tiny trollies like how CUTE!This week the lads are sticking to their promise of doing an entire episode dedicated to the sexiest thing to come out of the noughties; The Celtic Tiger. They discuss how it came about and its aftermath and also read out some chaotic stories of Celtic Tiger spending and there's quite an overlap with the submissions as trampolines, helicopter rides and Christmas shopping trips to New York all seemed commonplace.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

Before the days of Grindr, The Gay Cork Classifieds was where the young queer people of Cork tried to arrange discreet meets with other likeminded folk and Kevin details a drunken experience he had with a fella from Tralee. The theme for the week is gastronationalism which is the use of food and its history as a means of promoting national identity and basically it was picked for the theme because, you guessed it, PJ saw a TikTok about it and wanted to know more. They talk through all the different culinary delights of different countries but Kevin reveals he has no desire to visit Italy because a lad in primary school was going on about boiling eggs in the sand and he has also met a load of rude Italians (but has never had any issues with the French).Get tickets for the Australian leg of '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 speak about the chaos that was The Biggest Loser and Kevin reveals why he had a fear of soy sauce. The Olympics is happening in Paris and though the lads are obsessed with the Mary J Blige knockoff logo with the cunty bob, they feel conflicted about watching the games due to Israel's participation and so explore the dark side of the Olympics and the controversy that has plagues the event since it's inception. Who needs to watch the Olympics anyway when you can watch Tess do her nastics routine in the kitchen.Get tickets for the Australian leg of '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 have just finished their last show of the UK tour and they are absolutely hanging out their hoops but the vibes are still immaculate and they are finding everything funny. This week they read out scam submissions and the girlies do not disappoint.
