Series overview:

Brand new four-part series will see our intrepid broadcasters return to America

It’s been quite the year for The 2 Johnnies between their #1 podcast, broadcasting daily on RTÉ 2FM from their custom built studio in Cahir, a sold out 3Arena show and the small matter of a catfish called Cora. But they had some unfinished business in the USA following the first series of The 2 Johnnies Do America, so back they went and this time it starts in Mexico, where they attempt to enter the Land of the Free!

Back on RTÉ Television screens this autumn, The 2 Johnnies Do America will see the duo travel through the country looking for the real America. This brand-new four-part series will see the lads head to the deep south to discover the hidden, fun and quirky side of America, an expedition through states and cities to find material for their 2FM radio show which was broadcast live from New York at the end of the trip.

From Atlanta to New Orleans to Nashville, the 2 Johnnies unearth the characters, tribes and communities that make up today’s America beyond the headlines that we see on the news. They attend Gay Pride parties and biker rallies and visit some of the most expensive homes in the world as well as derelict neighbourhoods, meeting all kinds of everyone and asking all kinds of questions. And of course, they have many laughs along on the way, whilst giving us that unique Johnnies’ insight!

Episode 1: Texas – Oct 3rd RTÉ2 9.30pm

Episode One will see Tipperary’s finest begin their tour of real America by attempting to enter the country via Mexico. After a shaky start in Juarez, the guys head to Texas to take in one of America’s largest motorcycle rallies where they attempt the ball of death, check out the hipster scene in Austin and play chicken shit bingo. In Dallas they get lessons in Southern etiquette, go Wagyu cattle ranching and finish by learning the art of Lucha Libre wrestling in Fortworth.

Starts RTÉ2 at 9:30pm Monday 3rd October
