Ep 185 - Mother is Mothering

Kevin has been for a colonoscopy this week which he found really stressful as he had to fast for 24 hours beforehand but was starving after the first hour. He also has a confession to make about the Trocaire 24 hour fast. As it's Mother's Day, the theme for the week is unconventional mothers and the lads read submissions shared by listeners of the people in their lives who, while not their biological mothers, have stepped into that nurturing role. They also discuss people in pop culture who are giving mother and sorry to Megan Trainor but you are not giving mother you're giving cousin.

    It's been a crazy week with Katy Perry and Gayle King headed to space for absolutely no reason whatsoever other than they can and Kevin reckons Pink is raging because she's been training for anti-gravity her whole life. For the theme the lads discuss prison systems and give their two cents on whether or not they think they're in need of reform and they also list all the little things that annoy them that they think people should be locked up behind bars for.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨

  • Ep 187 - Keep It Cool Girls

    49:55|
    The lads are a little bit worse for wear as they had a big weekend in Killarney with their live show on the Friday and a friend’s hen on the Saturday which involved a lot of hijinks but was a lot of fun and made them come to the realisation that Killarney is actually a skit. The theme for the week is perception and Kevin talks about the pressure he's been experiencing since being referred to as 'cool' and although it's never something he saw for himself it actually makes a lot of sense but it's just taking a small bit of adjusting to.

  • Ep 186 - Soggy Biscuit with the Boys

    01:03:19|
    The lads discuss the universal experience of setting foot into a Zara store and feeling immediately judged by the employees and the chaotic clothing sizes. Then, because every pride season there's always some deranged straight person harping on about there being no such thing as straight pride, the lads decide to delve deep into hetty lifestyle and culture and discuss what aspects of it they actually find appealing and might like to take part in because let's face it, darts and escape rooms do seem pretty fun. They also reach out to family and friends and ask them what they think the straightest thing about them is and Kevin's brother Shane really struggled to come up with an answer.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨
  • Ep 184 - Thanks for the Mocha

    59:31|
    The lads start off by giving a shoutout to all the girlies for International Women’s Day and Kevin shares the details of a bad dream he had in which he was nearly cancelled by a group of women when ordering a coffee.The theme for the week is memories so of course Kevin has to give a quick rendition of the absolute belter that is Memories from the musical Cats. PJ maintains that himself and Kevin have the same quality of memory recall but the difference is Kevin is more steadfast in his convictions. The boys also talk about their earliest memories and revisit the Mandela effect.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨

  • Ep 182 - Mammy Manifesting

    52:20|
    In the catchup the lads discuss the fact that every stage school in Ireland did a number in their end of year show to Black and Gold by Sam Sparro the year the Fame remake came out and Kevin also opens up about his fear that his memory is no longer what it used to be. Then, because they had some of the manifesting girlies coming for them recently after they were slating some people for spending too much time doing vision boards and not enough time putting in the work they decide to do a manifestation deep dive. They also read out some manifestation story submissions from listeners and as per usual they are chaotic and do not disappoint.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨
  • Ep 181 - I Got It From My Mammy

    54:08|
    In the catch-up this week, PJ and Kevin discuss their differing views when it comes to organised fun. PJ is all for it and is wanting to plan a murder mystery night in the south of France and Kevin couldn't think of anything worse. Then, inspired by Charli XCX's song Apple they compare the notion of nature versus nurture and examine just how much we actually inherit from our parents. They also decide that they need to book a holiday asap because they need a bit of excitement in their lives after a very busy January and February.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨
