And it just built up over time.
They built up an audience from that.
And I think as well, they were occupying a space that maybe nobody was taking up in that space.
they were guys from a rural background talking about things that people from the same background can relate to, right?
So a lot of
the more kind of quote unquote mainstream media, radio shows and podcasts weren't really talking about those types of things.
So I think people gravitated towards these guys are telling stories about being in the dressing room at the GAA club.
They're telling stories about like the funny things that go on in rural towns, pubs and nightclubs, that kind of a thing.
So I think it was just a case of there was obviously a demand there for people to talk about these types of things and they filled that space before anybody else did.
A lot of it is kind of sketch humor.
So jokes about those types of stereotypes, you know, the lad down the GAA club.
A lot of it would be what would, I think, in derogatory terms, described as chicken fillet role humor.
So, you know...
checking filler rolls and getting the shift at the teenage disco and immersion gags and yeah and links Africa Irish mummy yeah rowdy lad gets thrown out of the bar because he's had a few too many pints that kind of a thing that's kind of grown over time as well like there's a
a couple of characters that they play on the podcast that they also took to the 2FM show as well.
The likes of the D4 dad, as they call it, taking a bit of a crack off your stereotypical South Dublin rugby dad and that kind of a thing.
So just like humor that kind of goes out all of those different cliches and stereotypes of Irish life.
Shortly after they debuted on 2FM, and it is really shortly after, it's only a few days after their first show, they were taken off air.
And it was a video that was circulating on social media of the two of them on their podcast.
And it was really interesting.
