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.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨

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. Alan also shares insights from his own fascinating research using AI and assistance dogs to detect epileptic seizures.

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.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨

This week Kevin and PJ are coming to you live from The Spaniard in Kinsale for a special bonus episode brought to you by Guinness 0.0, celebrating the start of the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival. 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.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨

This week Kevin and PJ are going full Most Haunted as they join Matt and Tanya from the Cork Supernatural Society for a paranormal investigation in the Convent of Mercy in Cobh. 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!Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨

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.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨

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.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨

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?Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨

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.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨
