In this episode, our heroes come to the realisation that with dear Kyle moving to the ol' USA and dear Rob's doing whatever weird shit it is he does, that time between the two lads is now at a premium. 2manypodcasts is coming to an end. Will it last forever? Nobody knows. So for legal, moral and convenience reasons the line is "we're going on a hiatus" - much like The Thrills - who should actually never reform.
They began the podcast as a protest that there's too many (and usually really shit) podcasts. So they decided not to help and add one more because there is too many podcasts and call it 2manypodcasts, which for those of you who aren't familiar is a play on the Belgian DJ duo 2manydjs. Who are actually deadly. For Belgians anyways (which isn't a real country).
So of all the interesting little bits - q&a's, ChipAdvisor (a review of chips - or fries as they say in the Dakotas), and general shenanigans, it was a genuinely intriguing listen for the average layman. So much so, the podcast was officially (at one point anyways) the 37th most popular podcast in Ireland of the improv comedy genre. Is that good? Kyle and dear Rob certainly hope not.
Stop listening to podcasts basically, will youse?
So thank you to all of the dear listeners, a couple thousand of you no less, and all our guests - from Johnny Spillz to the bloke from the Arctic Monkeys, dear Kyle and Rob mon cherie thank you and for now, our heroes bid you adieu, or whatever it is people say to be fancy.
2manypodcasts is on hiatus as of now.
Will our heroes say "Kyle, we're back" again?
Maybe, baby.
Maybe. -
In this dear episode, and let's be frank, it bloody well is a dear episode, our heroes make no reference to St. Patrick's Day, or as Kyle incorrectly calls it now, St. Patty's Day.
USA! USA! USA!
No, instead Rob (mon cherie) thought of 38 quick fire, but important questions to put to Texas' latest resident legend - and no, I am not talking about Matthew McConaughey, George W. Bush, or the bloke in ZZ Top - no I am talking about dear Kyle.
Listen, there are better and worse ways to spend a half an hour. And we envisage this will kill a half an hour for you whilst you, say, drive to work, or perhaps lying on a hospital bed getting a bone popped back into it's socket. I don't know. We don't know. We don't want to know.
We're busy. Love you.

In this dear and well articulated episode, our heroes discuss all the going on in world matters such as the technique dear Rob uses when he showers (spoiler alert: its pretty odd). Dear Kyle mon cherie found his local boozer in Texas which has a barman called dear Kyle also and he shares the same birthday. I think. I can't remember what was said, I was watching telly. But it's something along those lines.
Also, dear Rob has a PSA for all men relating to their Crown Jewels while dear Kyle reckons he's gonna be Dallas' next indie dj by playing The Wolfe Tones et al. And you know what? He will.
Song at the end is Once Upon A Time In Palestine by The Swedish Railway Orchestra, available here: https://www.blowtorchrecords.com/product-page/swedish-railway-orchestra-once-upon-a-time-vinyl-lp -
In this dear episode of 1 of season 2, we can say "Kyle, we're back". But dear Kyle isn't back, he has in fact left, from an Irish perspective anyways.
He's collected his gatherings and moved to the great state of Texas in the United States of America in search of the American Dream and to find clues to finally solve the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas in 1963, being the sleuth that he is, if you will. Will you? You probably will you dirty fecker, won't you?
Dear Rob spent half the podcast promoting an upcoming album which is both embarrassing and smart, all the while discussing his recent penalty points fiasco on New Years Eve. I'm embarrassed. WE'RE embarrassed. There's also a very short trivia quiz due to popular demand.
Kyle, we are back!!!

Dear listener. We have finished season 1 of 2manypodcasts. Now it's time to reflect upon what has happened. Okay, that time is over.
Dear Kyle gives us an update as he, at time of podcast-being-released is moving to the Dallas region. That's in Texas, where ZZ Top and St Vincent are from.
We shall return for season 2 at some point. Happy xmas, new year and remember - dolphins cannot tune guitars.

The Edge, or The as he likes to be known, makes a quick appearance where dear Kyle asks him about the time he blocked the road in town before. The guitarist addresses these claimsand dear Kyle is embarrassed. Or is he?
Also in this episode dear Rob is in Barcelona for the 350th time this year were he was doing recording and some exceptional DJing which earned him some incredible criticism from the club venue's owner. Majestic complaints of heroic proportions.
Elsewhere other things are discussed. No idea what. Something to do with the World Series in regional US sports. But let's be honest, you would have switched off by then. And if you haven't, then you should've. As it were. Were it? It were. -
In this bloody well great episode of 76 - our first in weeks I should point out and indeed have - dear Rob went to the noble Scandinavian country of Norway to discover the bear situation is way out of control as a percentage of the population get eaten by wild bears every year allegedly. Now, I say allegedly because dear Rob claims this is true. I have my doubts and you should too.
Also, dear Kyle has a medical to join the USA on a permanent transfer but reckons he'll run for office to try stop the banning of disposable vapes. He reckons just ban the smokes, but keep the vape. Now he may have a point and you may or may not agree. That's your own business. Listen, you're welcome.
Also they discuss other things. I think something about shower etiquette was involved. Can't remember. Oh yeah, Kyle sold his bike and had a big haggle with the guy buying - who came from Monasterevin. What else happened? Hmmm....I know David Beckham was involved in the conversation. He wasn't in the convo, but he was discussed. Becks wouldn't come on the show. But you know who would? Phil Babb. What's he up to lately anyways? -
In this dear episode of 75, Kyle has decided not to get a tattoo of Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys in case he turns out be an asshole. It's a wise move. I mean they discuss other stuff, but I can only remember that bit.
Oh yeah - also dear Kyle is selling his shit. But shit, we mean just his bike that he didn't steal. As he stated on his ad here: https://www.adverts.ie/31535146
Now check out his sale history - giving books away for free etc. I reckon if you put in a small offer for the bike he'll take it. Sure he's moving to Texas anyways. The great state of Texas if you will? Will you? I bloody hope so.
Look, we can do a good episode description - we just choose not to. -
Dear listeners. As I'm sure you're aware, the previous episode was number 72. But for obvious reasons we can't do episode 73 - out of respect (or 'dear respect' as we like to say), so we're skipping straight to episode 74. I'm sure you can understand. This is a righteous episode of manic shit such as not one but two public service announcements regarding boozing.
On that note, we deliver an update with Kyle's moving-to-Dallas situation such as "how are you gonna serve Guinness in the lone star state?"
Also Kyle divulges some information about his next door neighbour's Instagram etiquette and it's fucked up. Not fucked up as in doing something illegal such as gun running or bootlegging scotch, but fucked up nonetheless. It's also totally pointless.
Such is the bit about tattoo regret. But such is most things in life. I mean, when the sun becomes a red giant in approx 3.5 billion years and ends the earth as we know it, what will be left? No survivors but recordings of lads on podcasts who may or may not like their tattoos. Live in the moment, people. Live in the now!!!
But most importantly our heroes discover that other podcasts - particularly Irish podcasts - are ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SHIT. There are too many podcasts and, you know what? We know we're not helping.
Music at the outro is The Freaks Come Out At Night by The Swedish Railway Orchestra. Rob, mon cherie, made it.
We can't afford to license other music, sorry. -
In this dear episode 72, a number praised by all Gods, our heroes discuss the important facts of life. These include the dangers of ice which can lead to death. Ice cubes now - not icebergs or anything crazy. As well, as illnesses, family-friendly festivals, life hacks. You bloody well name it, dear Kyle and Rob mon cherie, probably haven't bloody well discussed it. And why should they?
But also in this episode, we let dear Ryan Tubrudy back to the airwaves, and here he interviews Alex Turner from Sheffield-based four piece rock act Arctic Monkeys. It's a momentous day for all positive thinkers worldwide.
Also, John Spillane - answer dear Kyle's texts please. -
In this dear episode, dear Kyle and Rob, mon cherie, agreed to do a podcast episode which would see them engage in numerous trivia questions to one another. However, cometh the hour of recording, dear Kyle failed to prepare for said podcast as did Rob mon cherie to a certain degree.
To be fair, dear Kyle is in the process of selling a goddamned house (which he has agreed to sell to a listener for €1,000 off the asking price should they want to buy it - listen in for details) and Rob mon cherrence just forgot until the day of recording.
But fear not - I SAID FEAR NOT - for some trivia questions relating to the state of Texas, Margaret Thatcher, the UN, the Berlin Wall and the dear sport of tennis were all included? Don't believe me? Listen in. Or not. Whatever. For what you're paying, you're getting gold, believe me. -
You wanted him, we got him. In this dear episode of 70, we pull out the big guns and bring the great, and frankly noble, Daniel Day Lewis to the pod. He talks about his beginnings in the oil trade, his "bastard in a basket" (his words) son H.W., his time in Ireland, as well as his admiration for an all milkshake. Some can of piss, isn't he?
Also in the pod, Rob is in New Zealand covering the women's World Cup for the pod, despite the fact Ireland's games are in Australia.
Plus talk of a LIVE PODCAST EVENT is taking shape. Basically, we're gonna do the podcast in a live setting somewhere and if you wanna come, let us know. If not, then that's cool. We won't take any offence to it because, and we gotta be honest here, we prefer to do it behind closed doors cause we'll be on the piss and we need toilet breaks and shit. You'll only want to be entertained. We don't entertain. Let me entertain you, said Robbie Williams, we're the opposite of that. We want booze and chats. -
In this dear episode - AND IT IS A DEAR EPISODE - our Kyle mon cherrence, has informed the world that he has plans. Big plans. Dear Plans if you will. Will you? You bloody well better.
Anyways, dear Kyle plans to recreate a pillar of the Dublin nightlife scene, but Stateside. That's right. He's upping sticks and moving to the land of his legend of a father-in-law (dear) Tim, who is an American icon. So he thought to himself, "what is the one thing that the state of Texas, or TX if you like to shorten it, doesn't have that dear Dublin has or had and I can recreate it o'er there?"
The results are ASTOUNDING
Dear Rob was podding from the International Space Station hence why the audio from his side is mediocre at best - much like his output both musically and podcastingly. Is podcastingly even a word? Who knows? Is orange even a juice? Or is it a state of mind? Is television a thing we have in our gaffs? Or is it the new juice for the modern lazy man? Truth is nobody knows. Not even Morrissey.
Anyways, listen to the episode if you will. Will you? -
In this dear episode, dear Rob ended up in prison in London, so dear Kyle panicked, knowing full well he'd have to do an episode on his Toblerone. "I need a guest," he said with fear and nausea. "And I know just the guy".
The guy is Alex Turner, lead singer and guitarist of one of England's biggest rock groups, Arctic Monkeys*
Kyle sets the record straight about the cancellation of the gig in Marlay Park as well as the egotistical adventures of Alex and his friends who he renamed all Alex, including dear Kyle. Illegal? No. Immoral? I don't know.
Tune in for this jam-packed episode.
*not sure if it's actually him. -
In this dear episode, dear Kyle goes to that London and ends up going to jail for committing a serious offence. Not an offence that you'd normally go to jail for like murder or theft - this, in the eyes of the British judicial system, is way worse.
Dear Rob mon cherie discusses the brilliance of Michael Flatley's epic masterpiece movie "Blackbird" from the cosy confines of Brownsville, Texas. And the usual kind of banter and stuff is had. You know yourself.
"Wait...what's the usual stuff? I'm a first time listener..." you might ask. No. I'm not explaining. Start from episode 20 or so. Keep up. For jaysis sake. We have lives, we're too busy.
I apologise. I'm embarrassed. Mortified. -
In this dear episode, our heroes grill our dear guest and comedian, podcaster and inventor of poetry, dear Shannon Basso Gaule with the same format we used in the previous episode.
Now, I know what you're thinking - you're thinking "I didn't listen to the previous episode, so I don't know the format" and, listen, we get that. We're not professionals, we're barely even human, but we're doing the best we can so cut us some slack, eh?
Dear Shannon can be found on the Instagram machine at https://www.instagram.com/sbgcomedy/ and his podcast, clearly miles ahead of ours, can be listened to, but follow that on the Instagram machine at https://www.instagram.com/actingthemaggotpod/
And listen, best of luck with your instagram accounts, dear Shannon. -
In this righteous and noble episode of 65, our heroes spent weeks preparing for a very special VIP guest who, on the day, told them that he's not gonna come on the shitty little podcast. And who can blame him? Some people would rather spend their time elsewhere. But this guest said he had dinner. Now, if you go back dozens of episodes, when John Spillane was the guest, he had dinner on the show. I'm not saying he's a genius, but he's hitting two birds with stone - and looking good whilst doing it.
Anyroad, our heroes prepared some quick fire questions for this guest who shall remain nameless (clue - it wasn't Danny de Vito), so dear Kyle, like a champion and hero very quickly decided to jump in and answer these questions from his own perspective.
Listen, we wish every episode was this amazing, but we're not exactly professionals, so it won't be. Thanks a lot not Danny de Vito. -
In this goddamned hippie episode of 64 - a number very divisible - our heroes return to their microphones to discuss all the shit you were afraid to know, let alone ask.
Dear Rob speaks of the horrors of supermarket etiquette meanwhile dear Kyle, future owner of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club and employer of a cleaner for his gaff, tell us how to stay sober at all day events but still drink all day.
I dunno - it sounds crazy, but rest assured Kyle mon cherie, has a fool-proof plan brought to you by an ale.
I know what you're thinking ... these two are oddballs. We wouldn't deny such a remark, but guess what? One day in the very far future, the sun will expand to become what's called a red giant and toast the entire planet and all of civilisation, thus making it inhospitable for any life as we know it to exist in any way, so, at the end of the day, nothing truly matters. Or does it? -
In this dear episode, our heroes discuss many topics that absolutely need to be discusses. This includes should be Berlin Wall be rebuilt? Was life better under the old communist East German regime? Chances are no, but it's worth discussing.
Also, revealed will be the great mimosa hoax and it's set to sting the entire mimosa industry. It probably won't, but fuck it, we're exposing the industry for the liars they are - much like the sunflower oil industry.
Dear Kyle puts a few Coventry based footballers in their place, whilst Rob mon cherie, well he encountered the world's biggest asshole dentist of all time.
All will be revealed in this episode 63. Which is 58 more episodes than you wanted. But look, for what you're paying, this is dynamite. -
In this goddamned dear episode, our heroes discuss one of the greatest business proposals ever put forward by man. Think the invention of the wheel, or the discovery of electricity, but with a crispy flavour. See where we're headed? Eh? No? Ok so.
Dear Rob returns from Valencia a wiser and weaker man despite using WhatsApp as a place to upload his status, much to the bemusement of dear Kyle.
And Kyle spends roughly US$1 million on olive trees ... from Kildare.
Turn on, tune in, cop out. Let it flow now mama. Sez you, wha'? - Se mer
