Hey there, Mind Full fam! Who’s ready for another enlightening episode of The Mind Full Podcast? Alright, alright hands down, please! It is officially week four of the podcast, and you know what makes four? Two and two…. The 2 Johnnies that is!
That’s right, in this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to have the dynamic duo, The 2 Johnnies, join me for a conversation that’s equal parts insightful and entertaining.

The Mind Full Podcast is the latest offering in Dermot Whelan’s highly successful Mind Full adventure. The Mind Full Podcast is a home for people whose minds are…well, full! Dermot explores the topics that can help us to calm a frantic mind, understand our behaviour and explore our own potential.
With a new topic of focus each week in discussion with an exciting array of guests ranging from Hollywood stars, musicians and broadcasters to expert technical contributors from the world of science, listeners will get the best information to help them make positive changes in their lives and create that mental space to live their days with more joy.
As a certified meditation teacher, Dermot also presents his own expertise through weekly guided meditations and answering callers’ questions.
It’s serious transformation, without being too serious!

To unlock the magic of connection this week, I am joined by Ireland’s favourite musicians, podcasters, comedians, authors, TV and radio stars – The 2 Johnnies. This talented duo never ceases to amaze me. From their humble beginnings publishing relatable Irish small-town life sketches and self-released music videos on social media, the pair have gone on to produce Ireland’s No.1 podcast, “The 2 Johnnies Podcast”, release not one or two but ten No.1 Irish singles, and gone international by bringing their live podcast shows to four continents around the world as well as producing multiple TV shows for RTÉ.
So many of us tend to see reaching out for help or opening up as a last resort, like it’s some sort of “break glass in case of emergency” situation. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and that’s exactly what we dive into in this episode.
Johnny B and Johnny Smacks are not just hilarious entertainers known for their wit, humour, and authenticity – they’re genuine, down-to-earth guys who bring a unique perspective to the table. From the highs and lows of male friendships to finding humour in life’s ups and downs, we cover it all. This episode is packed with laughter, wisdom, and a few surprises along the way.
But that’s not all – we’re also joined by Clinical Hypnotherapist and best-selling author, Fiona Brennan. Fiona sharing her wisdom and insight is the cherry on top. Together, we explore the art of self-connection and why it’s so damn important for our relationships with others.

Oh, they have also produced TV shows on RTE. Impressive, right? (although does anyone else feel very unproductive right now?).

This week, my special guest is hilarious American-Irish comedian Des Bishop. Des opens up about his early struggles with addiction, his first AA meeting at 17 (with his Dad!), and how the world of wellness found him by accident!
In this conversation we chat about his first experiences in AA as a teenager, his beautiful relationship with his wife Hannah, finding Buddhism with Cork accents, going viral and more. We also create pure musical genius with AI during the interview!
This really is a fun, fascinating and enlightening conversation that I really can’t wait for you to hear.
If you’re new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!
