The 2 Johnnies have revealed who they want to see replace them on their drive-time radio show.
The Tipperary duo hosted Drive It with The 2 Johnnies for the last two years on RTÉ 2FM, but announced this month that they were leaving the station on May 31st.
The podcasters shared the shock announcement just days after Doireann Garrihy had announced she was leaving the station, with Jennifer Zamparelli revealing this week that she was also hanging up her radio mic.
Speaking on The Brendan O’Connor Show on RTÉ Radio One, Johnny Smacks said he feels the best replacement hosts would be Aifric O’Connell and Aindriú de Paor.
“Aifric and Aindriú,” he said when Brendan asked who should replace the duo on the airwaves. “They have been great replacements for us before, why change it,” he admitted.
The pair also admitted that “the door is always open on our side”, with Johnny Smacks revealing “I think we’ll definitely be back on radio again.”
In the same interview the musicians admitted that they left the broadcaster because they were about to “burn out”.
“We we working seven days a week, something had to go,” Johnny B admitted.
