RTE’s newest recruits ‘The 2 Johnnies’ have apologised after they were accused of airing ‘sexist and insulting comments’ in their podcast, and clips used to promote their new 2fm radio show.
The video clips in question were snippets from their latest podcast on Spotify, titled ‘Hocus Pocus, Your Girl’s In My Focus’, where the duo, known as Johnny Smacks and Johnny B, discuss a number of crude references about women on car bumper stickers.
In a segment they called ‘Irish Car Stickers’, the Tipperary natives - real names Johnny McMahon, 30, and Johnny O’Brien, 35, - read out some of the sticker slogans sent in by listeners, such as: “Workin’ the land and droppin’ the hand #Keephercountry”.
