So sad loved listening to them they were great and very entertainingDevo they are leaving 2fm I always tuned in - wouldnt usually, and wont when they are gone. Found them to be hilarious, probably as I am a culchie too. Afric is brilliant, hope she gets a main slot
They do the radio mainly from their studio in Cahir, although it appears they do it from Dublin the odd timeSo sad loved listening to them they were great and very entertaining
Ramdom questionbut do they both travel to Dublin everyday or live up here
I genuinely thought they were in the studio every day because there's so many clips of them in the Rte studio and they'd often mention the drive up which they seemed to share.They do the radio mainly from their studio in Cahir, although it appears they do it from Dublin the odd time
Yeah... always assumed she was single!What was her and Audreys’ chat up line again? “Shhhtep into my office”…. Was it?
The cringe off that facebook post.JB seeming to suggest they’ll explain on next week’s pod.
No way! Before they joined 2fm they had one of the biggest podcasts in the country, so much so they had an exclusive deal with Spotify, plus a subscription podcast on Patreon.What do you think..did RTE give them the platform to be as big as they are or would they be have got that through podcast/shows anyway?
He's right in a way though, they had an audience with the podcast but then obviously got alot more listeners/ fans from the radio and the TV showsI posted this on Garrihys thread so will post here as it relates to both.

RTÉ Chief Takes Subtle Swipe At Doireann Garrihy And The 2 Johnnies
The 2 Johnnies were ‘nowhere near as big as they are now’ before they joined 2FM, RTÉ director general Kevin Bakhurst has claimed.evoke.ie
Completely agree. RTE signed them because of their huge podcast audience. Spotify don't hand out exclusive deals to people who aren't pulling in huge numbers.Twas the catfish that got them the bigger audience, not RTE
Can anyone remember what presenter it was who took off the summer holidays on the radio ? It might be 12/15 year back. I think rte2 have big boots to fill.. they really appealed to the ordinary person much more relatable imo than some of the presenters who think anyone outside D4 is a bogger.Completely agree.

The more telling thing here is not Backhurst saying that RTE made the Two Johnnies huge, it's the fact he mentioned the podcast tour. There is little doubt in my mind that they weren't able to agree the time off needed for the tour.
To be fair, if the lads thought they could just head off for a 6 weeks in the middle of the summer, and RTE be OK with it, they were codding themselves.

Lads that enthusiastic fan who posts on the community a lot, it's going to end in tears, one way or another.

Ryan Tubridy used to take a month off in the summers from radio while the Late Late would be on a hiatus too. Brendan Courtney & Oliver Callan used to cover for him.Can anyone remember what presenter it was who took off the summer holidays on the radio ? It might be 12/15 year back.

I was thinking of her. I wonder how she’s taking it ? Have her blocked on Facebook as I can’t cope with it
Best news! Thank Fuck for that.What's going down in rte

So far, SuperFan has coped by having the most depressing roast dinner I’ve ever seen, before going “bus stop hunting” as she put it. She travelled from Bansha to Waterford to Carrick-on-Suir just to take photos of the album promo posters on bus stops. They’d want to watch themselves at the string of gigs next weekend, she’s going to be at most of them
And another one bites the dustWhat's going down in rte
