I thought KC was an improvement but afaik his last JNLR figures were down 15000 listeners.
I try to listen to his breakfast show me on Red Fm but he's got a "local" guy Co hosting who is even more guilty of the forced laughter than JP was.
He's also picked up a bit of an attitude and he seems to think he's better than everyone because he had a stint in National radio.
When on today fm you got a sense that he was humble and modest but now he's arrogant.[/QUOTE]

KC? Arrogant?

Ask anyone, the dude is one of the most humble and likeable people on radio.

His new show is 100 times better on Red than it was back in the old days because of him time on TodayFM. You're hearing confidence.

Dermot and Dave will do great also. They seem to work really well together.

The lads have obviously done something right, if they've managed to scoop multiple awards. And, I'm sure they will receive more nominations, and perhaps even win more awards during their time in Today FM. I guess those criticising them haven't heard them on 98fm. The show is only weeks old, so it's still early days. But, I love what I've heard so far, and they were great on 98fm as well.

I used to listen to them on 98fm occasionally and I found it mildly amusing at best, but since they've moved to Today FM they seem to have dialled up the cringe factor several fold. It sounds very forced to me and is just not funny - but the fact they laugh (forced laughter at that) so much at their own "jokes" is really annoying and grating on one's ears. A show to avoid for me.

I think you're being especially harsh, DnD are far better in my opinion than you're making out, their track record is proof of that as is their promotion to today FM.

I know I might come across as perhaps being especially harsh, and maybe their track record does speak for itself. Personally, I'm just saying that I don't like the style of what they have to offer and I'll tip my hat to them - fair play on the promotion lads to national radio but just because their offering was absolutely lauded on 98FM it does not mean that it's going to go down the same way with a national audience. I'm not in the Dublin demographic so maybe that is why I just don't get it. I wonder how media buyers are reacting to the new show? It's hardly ABC1, which I sort of thought they were going after with Louise Duffy

Ha the Jean Byrne song they just did was great

The 2 gamer geeks interview during the week was class. "So you have a baby, was it a natural birth or did you just download him?"

They won two awards tonight at the PPI awards.

General Music Programme for the show on 98fm & Dermot won Music Presenter of the Year

gimmick

Finally switched away from them today. Not funny, not clever and same ol same ol music policy.

That Red FM is a better alternative than their show is pretty damning.

Are they getting tips off Ray D'Arcy? The guess what I bought off ebay segment kind of reminded me of the guess what U2 song is in my head segment that Ray made quite popular and successful.

Were these guys better when they were on local radio? Cant listen to them anymore,the fake laugh and stupid put on voices are BRUTAL

Sounds like Lenny is working on the Dermot & Dave show now. He was just on telling a story

Was going too post this. I'd say he has been there since the start but between Maria and the 2 lads he hasn't really had a reason too be on air.

The same old same old...can any presenter do a show on their own now?

I have a feeling you might be the wrong demographic for this show :pac:

The lads are off today. Phil Cawley is in. Does anyone know if it's for the week or just today?

There is no reason for him to ever be on air again. He's bloody awful.

That's a bit harsh. I though he was funny at times on the KC show

I honestly can't stand them. It's horrible radio

I love it. Exactly what's needed in the 12 - 2:30 slot

I'm the same.... As a wise man once said "it's just a bit of fun for your lunchtime, nothing too serious

That "Say Stuff that suits the music" is the greatest load of sh1te. Yer mans fake laugh in the background makes it worse for some reason.

It's starting too get old fast in fairness!

Chip Whitley

Best part of the show imo.

reg114

Harmless fun, can't understand the haters, give them a few months and I'd be amazed if their listeners didn't increase.

Synode

Say stuff is hilarious most of the time. Has me in stitches

Chip Whitley

Pretty much my whole circle of friends listens to TodayFM as do I, but I did listen to D&D on 98 and told them all that these lads would be a great fit at TodayFM, they kind of got sick of me saying it, but they've all messaged me since to say how much they love the lads and it's their favourite thing on the station now.

eyeball kid

Just can't listen to this show with the 'funny' voices and incessant laughing at their own jokes. Even the adverts for their own show nearly makes me get up, walk across the room and turn off the bloody radio.

Synode

Why do people feel the need to come in here and tell us they don't like the show. Nobody cares
