I'm Grand Mam

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.Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

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.Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

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.Purchase Happy Campers Tour Tickets here 🎟️Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

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 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.
