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 ✨
  • Ep 156 - Cheeky Auld Ones

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 ✨

    57:03|
    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 ✨
  • Ep 154 - Pad Thai Pandemonium

    53:13|
    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 ✨

    Kevin is back in Cork and had a beach day with his niece who he still won't reveal the name of but shares some of the nicknames he has for her including, but not limited to, missy, dolly and baba. 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 ✨
