I feel like a lot of asshole behaviour is promotedAgree. A few of the podcasts are interesting / funny. They have now become very repetitive. The hard man banter and immature sex talk is getting old.
I’m in a house self build page and Maura is also in it, any time she posts it’s full of eejits making jokes about the pod. These are full grown men building their houses making unfunny jokes to a woman who they don’t know on a Facebook group. I feel so sorry for their wives.Oh god it's pure cringe. Especially the ones that like tag the lads or go to the bar... like... I swear to god if I was ever seeing a fella that had a top fan badge I'd have to run
this is what I mean, like I feel they now promote grown men acting like teenage fools. I don’t get it Maybe I’m just getting old now but I think it’s pathetic that they do this tit to get their attentionI’m in a house self build page and Maura is also in it, any time she posts it’s full of eejits making jokes about the pod.

That’s exactly it. They don’t resonate with most people over the age of 35 - I don’t hate the 2 of them and J Smacks seems way less full of himself than the short fella with the funny teeth but the lad’ish/country/chicken roll and pints crack is a little old and childish now.this is what I mean, like I feel they now promote grown men acting like teenage fools.

It comes across like they are emotionally immature and haven't moved past the teenage years. It really has gone downhill very fast. I hope when their contract is up for renewal rte don't renew itThat’s exactly it.

Ooh that's a disturbing thought. That means we would have to put up with them for decades to comeI wonder do they have a shelf life? Maybe RTE sees them as the Irish Ant & Dec
I used to be up listening to it every Mondaywhen getting ready for work but it just seems like the same old tit constantly and allowing men to be absolute idiots. This whole “lad” cultureI wonder do they have a shelf life? Maybe RTE sees them as the Irish Ant & Dec.
I enjoy their radio show to be honest, it's as good as any other that's on at that time of the day but their podcast is gone a bit stale, I listen to it at some stage in the week when I get around to it but it's a long time since I'd have it played first thing on a Monday morning
To be fair JB is much better at interviewing. This was clear with the Met Officer and that findom girl Lauren.JB did a good job interviewing the detective from the Met. He is well able to get into serious topics and is a remarkably good interviewer. I get the feeling Smacks is a bit more at sea with the serious stuff. I thought the body building topic was well handled too, very balanced.
Unfortunately no getting rid of Maura she's dug in like a bleeping tick at this stage!
We definitely need more Neil! Maybe he doesn't like the limelight and prefers to work away in the background.
I see the radio show gained 11,000 listeners in the most recent JNLR: that is good going
Well un-cleted good to see you around. Take a look in the mirror and tell Niamh we were asking for herWell! Thought I’d pop in and say hello it’s been a full year since we were introduced to the GAA catfish saga. Damn, that was WILD!
(Not to derail; and no this is not niamh)
I love Smacks bit he's not good with the interviews. He's like an excited kid waiting to tell a joke or to laugh when someone says something rude. JB is getting better and better.To be fair JB is much better at interviewing. This was clear with the Met Officer and that findom girl Lauren.
Smacks is like an awkward schoolboy.
Yeah I like him too - he is completely genuine, but not able for the more serious topics.I love Smacks bit he's not good with the interviews. He's like an excited kid waiting to tell a joke or to laugh when someone says something rude. JB is getting better and better.
Same!!Big fan of Smacks he seems like the most genuine guy. I also love his "curb your enthusiasm" style anecdotes about the various awkward situations he gets hinself in every week
The story about the chinese is gas alright. And I must say the fella that runs that chinese is a gent, I got a takeaway from them a while ago and he was a very nice guy.Same!!
I love the way he tells the stories of what he's been up to that week.
Going to the chinese - 'Johnny, you still work in Super Valu?'
Or when there was no toilet paper in the pub toilet and he used his sock and out it in the cistern and went back weeks later and the sock was still there.
They seem like such a lovely couple.I like all the stuff about what goes on between him and Annie. It's all very tame so I hope she doesn't mind. It sounds like they make a great couple though
