“We try to cover as much as we can and we’re not perfect, and we get it wrong sometimes. “Other topics we have talked about in the podcast over the last four years are consent, we’ve always talked about safe sex, how we treat each other and we’ve talked about women in sport, about male body image issues. The 2 Johnnies said they endeavour to cover as much as possible when making their podcasts, and that they want to “represent ye better” in the future. We stand over that and we want to say sorry, sorry for causing offence. It was made by a member of our team but it’s our channel and our responsibility. We want to say sorry for causing offence. “On the social media video that went up, it just showed the stickers and not the discussion around it. “We’re comedians and we try to be funny but sometimes we get it wrong, we have made mistakes here and we say stupid sh*t all the time. The pair from Tipperary admitted that: “we’re not perfect, and we get it wrong sometimes”.
We stand over that and we want to say sorry, sorry for causing offence”. The pair said a “member of their team” posted the video and they instructed it be taken down as soon as they saw it had been posted, but added: “but it’s our channel and our responsibility. “If you have these on your car talk to the women in your life about your car stickers, are they too far? If your mate has them, pull them for a chat,” the duo said in the statement. “We condemned them in our own language saying, ‘these are scandalous, these are too far, who thinks these are a good idea?’ but we did not go far enough and were not clear enough in our condemnation, and for that, we are sorry. Some of them were funny…some of them were rude and some were too far. “We had a thread on our show where listeners sent us in car stickers and we read them out.
The duo also said the comments had nothing to do with their 2FM radio show, which they commenced last Monday. In a video posted on Friday night, the duo again apologised for any offence they caused by reading out car stickers that “went too far” on their podcast and said they were not clear enough in their condemnation of the comments. The 2 Johnnies have said they did not go far enough in their condemnation of vulgar car stickers read out on their show that has left them in a controversy during the first week of their stint with 2FM.
