I'm about the same age as the two Johnnies and I know people who find them funny. I don't mean this to sound harsh but it's mainly country guys with a simple sense of humor in my experience who find them gas.(Also Tipp men find them funny).

Podcast is very good in fairness. Not as good on TV I think but I enjoyed the show with Tommy.

Same for me. They seem very comfortable on the podcast and it works very well, is always listen when I got the chance. They just seem so wooden and nervous on the telly, even on pre filmed stuff like the American thing where they can’t even manage a voiceover properly. I do think they’re genuine Edith fellas though, definitely not the pricks people are getting from the bleached hair.

Who would be your 3 dream guests (living and realistic) on the show?

They need to get David mcsavage on. Someone with a sharp wit and the ability to speak with unfiltered honesty

Katie Taylor. It would be nice to see her interviewed away from the sports arena for once

McSavage is a great shout actually.

Katie would be too guarded, only does interviews to promote fights etc.. and is an expert in shutting down any delving into her personal life etc... as in fairness you would need to be in this day and age.

Was Katie Taylor not on it at some stage?..

I would respect Katie’s private life , don’t want or need to know.

Ash.J.Williams · 02-03-2021 07:32PM

Ian Paisley jnr or any other crackpot unionist

Bill Ponderosa · 02-03-2021 08:09PM

Tyson Fury would be excellent

Tommy said that he would never have a comedian on the show. He said he doesn't like a comedian interviewing a comedian as it would be too awkward with both parties trying to 'one-up' each other and play jokes off of each other, which would result in poor television. It wouldn't be a natural conversation as the premise of this show is.

The 2 Johnnys actually interviewed him, he seems like he has his demons but they didn't really dwell on it, would be an interesting guest alright as Tommy would get more out of bim

Their TV shows are beyond awful but it feels like they are being pigeon holed into those shows with very little creative control, although I'm not sure they have the creative talent to make anything decent on TV themselves . I could see them on 2fm at some stage on the breakfast show.

Their podcast is quite good, they're intelligent and come across like decent lads. They have interesting topics and it's a bit of craic. I don't listen to it anymore as I got bored of it and Maura is a bit of a gowl but the Podcast is miles ahead of the TV shows

There is a whole movement in agriculture similar to what she was on about, regenerative agriculture. It's worldwide, many of the leading strategists would have spoken at a conference last Nov hosted online here in Ireland, called Biofarm 2020.
So she not whacky, away with the fairies, as some here make out.

This approach has already been conducted within Knepp Estate in Engand at a large scale to great success - https://knepp.co.uk/home. I have met Mary Reynolds a few times and she is very passionate about this and very convincing when she explains the current reduced numbers of wildlife creatures (really frightening figures) due to poisoning from our non indigenous plants in our carefully 'controlled' gardens. This womans message is on the button. And as shown in Knepp the benefit returns are measured not in years but in months. If people are able to offer a small parcel of their garden over to an ARK it will make a huge difference rapidly.
I'll admit she didn't sell it the best during that interview but I suppose with some of the comments about her here some people are just reluctant and too judgmental to understand her, instead awaiting the next bullsh*t celebrity to come on the show to regale us with their vacuous sh*te and pontificate on how we all need to make the world a better place!

Although going by the premise of the show, it isn't, or shouldn't be, Tommy's choice

No idea who this man is.

castletownman · 06-03-2021 10:28PM

That Meath team was the toughest I have ever seen and full of absolute rocks of men.

And yet Boylan seems such a gentleman himself.

Green hat this week- very few people could get away with wearing a full swede outfit- comedians are probably one category of people who can :P

It would have been easier to google him than type that.

This man is a legendary GAA manager, Tommy would have a particular fondness for him as he is famous for managing the Meath (his native county) footballers for years.

They were grand fellas off the pitch but lethal with their elbows to the head on it. Foley, Harman, Coyle, Lyons. Plenty of 'unmanly' stuff.

Shelby Foote · 06-03-2021 10:38PM

I always liked Boylan though.

Atlantic Dawn · 06-03-2021 10:38PM

The GAA is a great network for getting jobs through.

I won a meath signed jersey in a charity auction once.....in a Dublin pub. I was the only bidder

So, got it cheap, sold it on for double I got it for and gave that money to the charity also- not a GAA person so didn't understand at the time why no Dubs would bid- I do now.

That is mindblowing.
