I'm Grand Mam

Kevin’s keen to learn to drive, but with the fuel protests across Ireland this week, he’s not sure how useful it would be. The lads stand with the farmers, obviously, even if it did take PJ 5 hours to get from Cork to Dublin for Jordan’s wedding. Speaking of Jordan’s wedding, we find out more about PJ's antics on the stag, and why the wives and girlfriends at the wedding were fuming with him.The theme for this week is luck; the ‘lucky girl’ aesthetic is all the rage right now, so the lads have been wondering how much of luck is mindset, and whether they believe in lucky traditions and superstitions.

The lads have absolutely had it with April Fool’s Day antics on social media, and think it’s about time we put a stop to it. In better news, this week Kevin’s family have been celebrating his brother’s engagement, which leads them to talk about the general mortification of Irish people doing… well, anything.The theme for this week is teenage discos, and we’re throwing it back to a time laden with the scent of hairspray and Lynx Africa. It might be a rite of passage, but the teenage disco brought with it a whole lot of anxiety and pressure to fit in socially. The boys hear wild submissions from the listeners, covering everything from the best way to sneak vodka into to the disco, and the girlies kissing record numbers of boys in one night.

Kevin is on a crusade against culinary trends this week, and matcha and hot honey on pizza are in the firing line. PJ’s heartbroken that he failed his NCT (mainly because he chickened out of leaving a bribe in the glovebox), even though he’s loving booting around Cork in the car.The speed of the drive from the northside to the southside even inspires the lads to call for unification of the two sides of the river in The Rebel City. The theme for this week is inventions, and the boys are unpacking some of the most influential inventions of all time. They’re also talking about inventions that we thought would take off but didn’t (3D glasses anyone?) and pitching some iconic ideas of their own.

Kevin and PJ have been in their best goth drag this week, and they can’t stop thinking about how hot they both looked in black eyeliner! Getting their makeup done makes them think back on their experiences with stage makeup as children, and they also start planning a charity drag night: watch this space, girlies!For the theme, inspired by their upcoming Happy Campers shows, the lads are discussing all things tours: tour life, venue choices and the highest grossing tours of all time. From Taylor Swift to Coldplay, they can’t help but wonder what these artists are doing with all the millions and billions of bobs they’re making from touring the world. 

Kevin’s had enough of PJ’s journey of enlightenment and self-improvement, which isn’t helped by PJ telling us all about his day farming and learning to grow his own veg in Wicklow. In other news, Kevin has had his now infamous polyp removed, and luckily his anaesthetist was fairly easy on the eyes, girls.For the theme, the lads are discussing personality tests, specifically the Enneagram (which we now know has nothing to do with Scientology: phew!). Inspired by Amy Poehler and her Enneagram obsession, they take the quiz to uncover what personality type they are, and what traits they have in common.

The lads are buzzing after their second appearance on the Late Late Show, and not even the abysmal Facebook comments can bring them down! They laugh at some of the worst ones, while also acknowledging the loyal girlies who always have their backs. They then turn their attention to the mortal enemy of healthy gut microbiome everywhere: the airport sandwich. Inspired by Bad Bunny’s recent Super Bowl performance, the theme for this week is celebrity activism. The boys discuss some of the celebrities who have advocated for causes throughout their careers, and wonder whether we expect too much from our pop culture figures. Oh, and they have to ask: what the heck is going on with Nicki Maga Minaj?!

Strap in girlies: PJ is giving us the inside scoop on the WhatsApp group dedicated to farts that he’s been added to this week, and it’s harrowing stuff. The boys also discuss all the tea from the new America’s Next Top Model documentary, including Tyra attempting to gaslight us all in her now infamous trenchcoat.In honour of International Women’s Day on March 8th, the lads are talking all about their favourite people: the girlies! The theme for this week is feminism, so Kevin has an excuse to talk about the ultimate feminist queen, Lisa Simpson, as well as the connection that gay men have to the women in their lives. They also discuss some of Ireland’s most impactful feminist icons and unpack common feminist stereotypes. WHO RUN THE WORLD? GIRLS!

This week Kevin enters his glasses era after discovering he has astigmatism and the lads spend a significant amount of time unpacking what this means for him personally, professionally and spiritually. While the realisation has shaken him slightly, mainly because it has forced him to confront the fact that youth is perhaps not as close as it once was, there are upsides. Chief among them is the discovery that wearing glasses may actually improve his flirting success rate.For the theme, Kevin and PJ dive into dating horror stories. From a girl whose date casually drove off in her car for twenty minutes leaving her stranded on a country road, to a man who spent an entire date aggressively eating wedges with greasy hands and an alarming number of ketchup sachets, the lads weigh in on the red flags, the survival tactics and the lessons learned.
