Twas the catfish that got them the bigger audience, not RTE 
- Notice
The joys of having a limited company - the accounts are open to anyone who wants to look them up.
To those who are saying they are not worth that paycheck - that's your opinion of course, and thank God we all don't have the same opinions.
It looks like the market would disagree. They have taken that 2FM show from the doldrums to having the largest listenership of any show on 2FM.
Apart from the 2FM show, it seems to me that they are incredibly hard working. They have two podcasts a week to prepare for and record. They have recording of TV shows to do (not my cup of tea). They are off touring their podcast this summer. They have an album coming out. They have the Pints in a Field gig this year, plus no doubt another at the three arena. I think if you work as hard as that, it's difficult to say you're not worth the money.

'Are you jealous of her? That she gets attention from lads? That she's successful and has her own house?'

This is the post that someone wrote and then they did a dirty delete of it.
It was so brain dead for 2fm to present the rural audience that had been built up by the Drive It show with a pair of presenters that sound like they should be starring in a Ross O'Carroll Kelly play.
Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.
If they had left Aifric and Aindriu in situ they had a decent chance of maintaining that audience

Neil is kinkier than the pod suggests'Are you jealous of her? That she gets attention from lads? That she's successful and has her own house?'

also good reviews in all departments!!Turns out that quite a few of us bone headed neanderthals outside of Dublin found the whole thing pretty interesting.As if anyone outside of provincial culchieland would give a flyin fuck.

WOW just listened to the pod. To quote Erin McGregor de neckkkk of Maura to roast Smacks for being talentless and only getting where he is because of Johnny B. And her - the actual talentless twat - riding their coattails any opportunity she gets. Smacks did not sound happy.
You know damn well she couldn't take a roast. Or more likely she knows damn well that Smacks and Johnny B are too decent to actually say anything too mean about her.
They should have a read aloud of this thread next week instead.

To be fair, I don’t think the girl is the full shilling. But she’s got their signatures tattooed on her body, she attends Cahir GAA club events in the hopes of meeting them, cornered Johnny B in his car outside the Shamrock Lounge. Documents literally ALL of it. Just spent three days on a “solo trip” to Tipperary, on which she wandered around Tipp trying to catch a look at the lads. Then came home and said she was homesick to go back to her favourite place in the world - Tipp. She’s probably harmless, but she is obsessive. I’m surprised everyone on the community is still so positive even though it’s gained legs in the last year or so.
Christ I couldn't get over the mystery topic. Maura slating JB for being bad at riding, smacks for not having talent and Neill for getting the least "pussy" ???Who even uses the word pussy unless you're a 12 year old boy going through puberty.
I hope they tear into her next week.
I'm getting so sick of the pod. I've really found the last few weeks the guests and topics are
The correspondence is the best bit, after that it goes down hill.

I cant believe they are not giving that slot to Aifric and Aindriu. They were the only hope of keeping the listenership. Drive Its rural audience will desert the D4 presenting team in droves.
And what a kick for Aifric. A huge part of that shows success and she is rewarded with. . . .getting up at 4am every day.
If I were her I'd tell 2Fm to fuck off and go work for the lads

Maura the gowl is such a "pick me" girl. She will literally do anything to be popular. Acting like she's 14 instead of 40 and telling her friends secrets on a podcast with a large following. She's a horrible witch. The cackle of her makes me physically wince when I'm listening to the pod. I really wish they'd get rid of her. They'd be totally fine, actually better, without her, her bad jokes and mispronounciation of words
Can't see their humour working in the UK... to be honest, there are plenty here who can't abide them.
As someone mentioned in the last thread they are on the Dermot Whelan The Mind Full podcast. Well worth a listen, they come across really well and put forward a slightly more serious side of themselves. I think their professionalism really came through and there was a real sense of how proud they are to be Irish and to represent Irish people countrywide and to promote and preserve what's good about Ireland\Irish people. I feel like this is so important now given the changing landscape of Ireland with the current immigration levels etc. I feel sometimes in mainstream media we are not allowed to amplify Irish humour or nuances for fear of not being inclusive but I feel the lads through the various platforms of their work are not afraid to do this and I really respect that

I have actually turned into such an Aifric fan!
She is humble, witty and just a good laugh
A great addition to the podcast.

A lot of their fans are a few sandwiches short of a picnic. I'm a pretty big fan of the pod, (listen to the Monday and Thursday pod almost religiously and follow them on insta) but some of the people on the community are actually obsessed - huge A List celebs don't even have the level of crazy I see on that fb page...
