Two lads, originally from Cork in Ireland and now living in London, have a cuppa and catch up each week while exploring the collective life landmarks that accompany growing up gay in the world today. Join Kevin and PJ as they navigate their way through gay London and immerse themselves in the virtues and vices of the city whilst battling with the internal shared struggle that every Irish gay man deals with when living away from home - ‘what would mam think?’ Follow us on Instagram and Twitter: @imgrandmam Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The episode begins with a declaration from the lads that PJ has a booba face and Kevin has a Kiki face. Kevin is still feeling patriotic and proud having watched the Ireland match at the weekend and the pair conclude that though rugby is very rough all the boys look fab and so it’s worth watching. The theme for the week is digital footprint promoted by the icon, the legend, the moment that is Tube Girl and the boys decide to retrace their own digital footprints by reading out old Facebook statuses. Content warning: extreme cringe.

In the catch-up this week Kevin throws ideas at PJ for Jose’s birthday celebrations, which is always a tricky one to organise as PJ loves to plan everything to a tee but Jose likes to chillax. They also talk about the horrors of wearing a dance belt when they were younger and the joy of taking it off after a ballet class. The theme for the week is America, the land of the free, chosen by PJ because he wanted to tell everyone all about his stories from his many trips to the States. Though Kevin has never been, he has always been obsessed with America, exemplified by the fact that he had an Obama hoodie and a Starbucks wallpaper on his phone when he was a teenager.

This episode begins with PJ sharing his second-hand sofa search story which resulted in him getting a suite of furniture which is worth over €20k for €800 but Kevin reckons he was swindled as it’s walking with the dirt. Things then get a bit NSFW as the theme for the week is OnlyFans and the lucrative world of adult content creation, an industry the lads could never get involved in because they’d be mortified if nobody subscribed.

The lads are recording from PJ’s new gaff in Dublin which is situated right next to a DART track so if you hear any train noises during the episode no you didn’t. The theme for the week is loneliness and the boys discuss the impact of moving away from each other last year when they were clung to each other like moss to a damp wall and the absolute mortification of having to force yourself to make friends in new social settings.

The lads are still in Cork and Kevin feels the need to address something that everyone else has been thinking but nobody is brave enough to admit; donuts are taking over the city once more. From Dinky Donuts to Krispy Kreme, there's no avoiding the torus shaped treats and Kevin is ready to break his silence. The theme for the week is pets and PJ learns that Kevin actually did have pets in his youth, he just hasn't mentioned them before for fear of being cancelled. Though they might have differing views on cats, one thing they can both agree on is that it would be stunning to be Tom Hardy's dog and cuddle with him on a Friday eve.

Kevin and PJ are still buzzing after their live podcast at the Cork Opera House but regrettably neither of them have a vocal chord left in their throats. The theme for the week is body modifications and the lads start off by saying which piercing locations are the hottest. PJ loves a tongue piercing on a fella but Kevin thinks it's absolutely horrendous. PJ gives us a tattoo tour of all the artwork on his body and assures Kevin that the image on his torso is a vase and not a butt plug and the lads then discuss whether they think strict rules regarding the visibility of tattoos in the workplace need to be reconsidered.

The boys have never claimed to be perfect so please don’t come for them when you hear them ranting and raving about the iced brown sugar oat latte from Starbucks; at the end of the day they’re gay men and they need their caffeine fix and they love the sound of the ice clinking in the cup. Kevin says that he wishes he lived above a coffee shop as it would tie in with his Sunday morning fantasy of popping down to get his flat white before returning to bed with his lover to read a broadsheet newspaper. The theme for the week is hens and stags, chosen by Kevin because he wants PJ to get his act together and start planning the wedding again so that he has something to look forward to. Though they have a difference of opinion when it comes to the inclusion of strippers and masks of Jose’s face at the hen, one thing they can agree on is that light up MR & MR signs are not to feature in the wedding in any way, shape or form.

The lads’ mams have both been away on holidays which leads to a discussion about doing a deep clean of the house before a trip abroad. It just gives you a greater sense of peace when you’re doing your rest and relaxation bits by the pool doesn’t it? They then turn their attention to the theme of the week which is stealing and the lads share whether they were fond of a five finger discount when they were younger. Kevin also reveals that he had a chaotic mischievous French exchange student with a penchant for Elizabeth Arden products.

The lads are recording from the Apple studio again in London and PJ’s questioning whether he’ll be able to get a pistachio latte from Blank street coffee before he flies back to Dublin as he believes the drink is derived from the tit of Aphrodite. They also question how much butter is in a croissant which leads Kevin on to a story of a new bakery he visited at the weekend (and did he mention it was raining at the time?). The theme for the week is the future and they discuss whether AI is a good or bad thing and whether it will make their jobs as podcast hosts obsolete or not. To out AI to the test they use Chat GPT to generate a podcast intro for them and it doesn’t disappoint. They also talk about what inventions they would like to exist in the future.

You might notice some stunning sound quality in this weeks episode girlies and it’s because the boys are recording in a studio thanks to Apple Podcasts. Both of the lads have been to see the Barbie movie and Kevin insists he wanted to see it by himself though PJ thinks it’s because he has no friends. They then talk about the awkwardness of kissing in a cinema or in a car and being traumatised about having to face your parents with a hickey on your neck. The theme for the week is festivals and Kevin questions if he’s just not cut out for the festivals anymore whilst PJ reckons he’s better suited to them because or a traumatic experience he had in Dripsy woods when he was 16. They also discuss what their riders would be for when they perform at a festival.
