    Disappointing to hear they're being cut by an hour. I would disagree that there is no filler though, there is a fair amount of stuff that gets replayed, US Silly Sports, Say Stuff, Mary from Florida and Jingly Bits all gets repeated during the week. It's all good stuff, so personally I never minded it.

    They're my favourite thing on Irish radio (with Foley & JP), so I hope I can keep listening. (I'm not in Dublin, so only listen when I'm at work online) It was ideal for me, because once KC finished at 2.30 I only had half an hour to wait until they came on. Now I've to wait an hour and a half, and can only listen til 6. :( AND when KC leaves TodayFM, my whole radio day is ****ed up!!

    Just on the twitter thing, Dermot and Dave are very good for replying to tweets, have often chatted to them on it.

    Maybe, but those segments would be rotated on different days, not like they'd US silly sports and then play it an hour later unless they have a massive request. Also most listeners will listen for an hour at most on the way home or around the house so less keen listeners wouldn't notice the repeat.

    Either way it is a shame, they are superb on air together and I wonder how listeners will react. Barry Dunne doesnt desrve to lose half his show though. I hope he keeps the 90's and 00's after 12 though, loved that bit.

    Barry Dunne had a 5 hour show (all music) which was way too long.

    Will be interesting to see how the Adrian and Jeremy show goes. I hated the late night chat shows so haven't listened in years. I'll give them a few weeks to see if they impress.

    Defo a shame about Dermot and Dave. I was the same with only a 1/2 hour wait after KC

    It was the reason I turned it off. If I only wanted to listen to music I'd put on Spotify and listen to the music I wanted to listen to. At least they're trying something new.

    A mid morning chat show. Not really new is it?

    Anyone know the new times for the US Silly Sports and Say Stuff repeats?
    4.15 was perfect for my drive home!

    Not sure! Missed yesterdays show, but I think the Say Stuff repeat was on around 3.45 today. Don't quote me on that though! :o

    Thought Dave's World was great today. It's usually hit or miss for me, but today was a huge hit.

    Ye I caught a few minutes of the show today, i'm a fan of the guys but I never hear the Mary from Florida section because of work, but from what I do hear and this trip they made I don't get it? Who is she and why is it popular. The show coming from Florida just seems a bit self indulgent.

    On the one hand, Mary is absolutely lovely, she's gas craic (imo) and her little sayings are funny.

    But on the other hand, yeah, it seems like they just chanced their arm at a paid holiday and got it!

    Why I'm enjoying the show personally, is because they are covering new things and are talking to interesting people... it's nice for a change. I wonder will the novelty have worn off when Mary comes over? Maybe not though, the funniest thing they did before was have her say Irish slang words. They'll probably do more of that kind of thing.

    Ray Foley got his digs in on the boys being away anyway! Very funny. He described the lads as Dermot; 'the funny one', and Dave; 'the one who laughs at the funny one.' A hint of envy about the boys being away no doubt. I would assume as they are part of the furniture at 98 that they can do this kind of thing. I'm sure in a few years, when he is more established there, Ray will look to do the same scale of OB. Didn't he do his Today FM show from New York once? :pac:

    They're pretty much just having the craic like they do every day but with someone else who's also craic.

    Plus, it's paid for by American Holidays. It's also still work!

    It's one of the best afternoon drive time shows on the radio. The chemistry between the lads is great and it's genuine too. I don't wish to compare other shows on other radio stations, but FM104 drive time show doesn't come close to it.

    I never heard the prank call from Dermot to Dave before. About 6:15. It was hilarious. Don't know how Dermot managed to avoid laughing at some point.
