PJ’s sister Lindsey is home from Australia, so PJ is having a ball playing matchmaker in a bid to get her to fall in love and remain in Ireland forever.This week the lads are talking all about summer jobs, thinking back to Kevin’s glory days running a grass mowing monopoly, and lamenting the fact that they never went on a J1. They’ve asked the listeners for submissions, and as usual they didn’t disappoint!

Girlies, we've got a really special bonus episode for you this week: as part of Apple's Creators We Love 2026 campaign, we linked up with our girls Tolly and Audrey at The Receipts Podcast to bring you a joint episode, live from Apple Covent Garden in London. We find out who the best besties are, talk all about what it's like working with your best pal, and help the girls with their listener dilemmas. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the video exclusively on Apple Podcasts.

PJ has a bone to pick with the Glambot, and the lads are thinking about all the crazy dangerous things they were doing as kids, mostly thanks to the neighbourhood trampoline. Kevin is also contemplating what he wants in a relationship: spoiler alert, he’s an independent woman!This week, Kevin and PJ are introducing a brand new type of episode, unpacking something from their youth that had an impact on them growing up. And the question for this week, drumroll please… did Glee make us gay? Grab a slushee girls, as they unpack queer representation on TV, iconic Glee numbers and characters and why Sue Sylvester was the campest character on our screens!

PJ's been booked and busy with a full-body M.O.T. this week, including seeing a podiatrist, and the boys are now debating getting into barefoot shoes- thoughts, feelings, concerns? He's also been to Trans and Intersex Pride, and is sparing a thought for the furries marching in the heat.The theme for this week is the dark side of reality TV. The lads are talking about the not-so-glamorous side of reality TV, the ethics behind it, and hearing all the reasons Kevin couldn't go on Love Island.

Girlies, it’s a big week here at I’m Grand Mam, because Kevin is finally going gluten free in an attempt to settle his stomach. PJ is shocked to learn that Kevin’s been cooking dinners for his housemate, because that definitely wasn’t a perk that he enjoyed while the boys were living together. Inspired by the ever-soaring temperatures, the lads are discussing the end of the world this week: how scientists think it’s most likely to happen, who they’d want by their sides in an apocalypse situation, and if the world is ending... are we hitting the clubs?

PJ is on a crusade this week and demanding justice for pigeons; the humble messengers have been doing the Lord’s work for us, and we repay them by calling them rats in the sky. The lads are also analysing why Peppa Pig isn’t great for kids, and ask a very important question: where on earth is Corinne Bailey Rae? The theme for this week is herd mentality, and Kevin and PJ both had very different experiences growing up. PJ tried his best to fit in with the boys, and Kevin marched to the beat of his own drum. It’s all come good now though, because they’re both well able to keep from following the crowd and express their distaste for everything from Birkin bags to natural wine. 

The lads start the episode by singing the praises of the humble delicacy that is toast. All this talk of food reveals that PJ doesn't have a kettle or a toaster and Kevin is scandalised. Kitchen appliances are getting out of hand, girls, but the boys will always love the airfryer.The theme for this week is solo travel, and Kevin has been pondering whether it's time to do some solo jet-setting. The lads go through their top tips for solo travelling, and read out some chaotic stories from the listeners.

The lads are cooling off after what felt like the hottest week of all time in London, and the end of their UK tour! They had an absolute blast doing the tour and celebrating afterwards, but hangovers in the heat aren’t for the weak, girls. The theme for this week is the World Cup, and Kevin is putting his football knowledge to good use by giving us all the goss from this year's tournament. From the hotties on the pitch to the goss in the changing rooms, the lads have it covered. They might not know what the offside rule is, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know ball!
