A good Christmas busking session could cover plenty; a bad day might not even cover the fuel to get there. Jamie McIntyre brings both sides of street performing to The 2 Johnnies Podcast, explaining that a week's rain can mean a week without earnings.

His interview excerpt, "Buskers can make how much? #ireland #irish #galway #galwayireland #busker #busking #irishmusic", was the most-watched of the channel's eight new uploads, reaching roughly 16,000 views. The description connects those early street performances with a bigger stage: McIntyre is due to perform at Pints in a Field next summer.

Music supplied another talking point in "Top 5 Key Changes #ireland #irish #podcast #comedypodcast #top5 #ClassicHits #shorts", which finished almost level with the busking clip. Elsewhere, "Who Has The Sexiest Accent?" accompanied the season finale of The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock-In on RTÉ2, giving county loyalties something other than sport to argue over.

The newer uploads are carrying the strongest momentum now. "Parents Will Try Anything" has the busiest daily viewing, followed by "Biggest Gig of the Year" and "The Battle of the NCT". The gig announcement looks back as well as forward: Johnny Smacks and Johnny B are celebrating a decade together with another 3Arena appearance.

The channel added subscribers over the week, reaching 170,000, although viewing was quieter than its usual daily average. Nearby comedy channels including Safar Bros and Jenna Lu had much larger viewing weeks. For The 2 Johnnies, the fresh attractions were smaller conversations: earning a living on the street, county accents and the everyday trials behind those podcast titles.
