Series 1, Episode 3

The 2 Johnnies continue their trip to Miami. They meet Irish American Artist Peter Tunney, who brings the lads on a tour of the former ghetto ‘Winward walls’ which he has helped transform. Miami also sees Johnny B face to face with a snake, and Smacks gets lost in an Avery. They both try ‘Voging’ and then meet Cork GAA legend, John Gardner.

Johnny B gets waxed and comes to the realisation that Irish men beautiful enough as they are! Johnny Smacks learns that walking in high heels is way harder than he ever thought!

This series follows them as they navigate their first US tour and look at the current state of Irishness in America from the multigenerational “Irish” to the recent arrivals, asking the question ‘what is IRISH AMERICAN in Trump’s America?
