LIMERICK DUO THE Rubberbandits will be talking to Newstalk host Tom Dunne tonight, while on ecstasy.
Blindboy Boatclub and Mr Chrome will be on air at around 11, having legally consumed ‘yips’ – the group confirmed on Twitter.
The show’s producer also confirmed the comedy hip-hop duo would be on show…
On the question of whether they’d be under the influence during the appearance, Cawley told us “we’ll have to ask them!”.
In case you haven’t been keeping up with the news today, certain drugs – like ecstasy, ketamine and crystal meth – are all legal to possess in Ireland until midnight on Thursday.
A ruling in the Court of Appeal today effectively means that some drugs that had been declared illegal in previous years are currently legal.
Emergency legislation from Health Minister Leo Varadkar is being pushed through the Dáil tonight.
What?…..you mean they aren’t usually on drugs!
They might usually be on drugs but tonight they will be legally on drugs
Jaysus wouldn`t if be great if we tuned into the Vincent Browne show tonight, and he had his bottom lip wrapped around his forehead, Whilst giving out free hugs and calling for Enda to come get his.
would send TV ratings off the Richter scale
Still time for my wish to come through, seeing as it`s only 9.30 p.m.

Vincent Brown speckled doves!
Funny the amount of people talking sh*te about the rubberbandits. Clearly you have no idea what they are actually like, just look at them in their plastic bags and make a judgement. If you followed their facebook page or twitter you would see that they are actually very intelligent lads.
But they arent funny
If they are intelligent why are they taking e ?
Harold lighten up man or try an ‘e’ even, things will become clearer for sure.
Wow, Tom Dunne’s listener will enjoy that.
D!ckheads. Hopefully they’ll forget to put the holes in the plastic bags.
Them two do be riding each other. The rubber bum bandits
Nice use of the English language there. I’m impressed.
middle ireland’s anti drug brigade constructing witty, insightful arguments as usual.
So Tom got the Brains in the dunne family then.
I thought the Rubberbandits 15 mins of so called fame was well and truly over…
you clearly dont know jack so!
I think drugs should be legal anyway but there’s a lesson here for legislators; this is what happens when you rush a bill through to keep the Joe Duffy mob happy
i love how angry this makes every right wing c#nt on here!
Why not have a drink to calm yourselves down? you hypocrites.
Oh……….and d’you see this here?

but i spose those neoropsychopharmacologists ”are only crusties who dont dere head from dere hole”
You are really, really stupid people if think the war on drugs is a good idea.
I agree Joe, what else would you expect? Rte and Dob propaganda day in day out. Ireland is very conservative in anyway. I recently gave up alcohol after 15 years a drinker. The most enlightening experience I had during them years was the handful of times I took ecstasy and the one time I took mushrooms. Alcohol is one of the biggest scams there is.
You’re incredibly naive if you believe anti-drugs nanny statism is the sole preserve if the ‘right wing’. Plenty of fools on the left like to try and control what we put into are bodies as well.
I can see the whole country running around out of their heads by Thursday, can I suggest the minister for justice declares a state of emergency cos we the citizens can’t control ourselves without the proper legislation in place.
And that’s something to boast about? clowns
Literally
I imagine they’ll be showing idiots like you how they are NOT raping, murdering, fighting stealing or having a fit on the floor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hhmn5VR7DY
Someone doesn’t get satire
Ireland’s first Purge , everything illegal becomes legal.
Does this mean they’ll still be not funny, just with a higher body temperature?
The worst ‘act’ ever to come out of Ireland. They aren’t even funny
Idiots they shouldn’t be given air time
They need it to talk to that plank.
horse outside was as their moment in the sun apart from that totally unfunny.
Paul if you find them ‘unfunny’ well and good, I can imagine the barrel of laughs you are. Everyone to their own but horse outside is far from ‘their moment in the sun’ they are far more successful now than they have ever been. 30 nights sold out in the west end in the last year [twice] an Edinburgh fringe award for comedy and 2 sold out month long runs up there also. Finally 3 sold out nights in the Abbey starting in the next few weeks. Hardly gone now are they?
well Colm that post proves to me there is a lot of easily pleased people about, Mario rosenstock packs them out aswell as he is equally unfunny, but the best of luck to them all the same enjoy your comedy your obviously easy pleased.
Mario Rosenstock is a success in the UK, since when? As for the ‘unfunny’ comment my guess is that you re not smart enough to understand their particular brand of satire but judging by your assertion that horse outside was their moment in the sun, I’d say you know absolutely nothing about their work yet feel knowledgeable enough to critique it. Now what does that say about you ?
Colm I think they are shite you don’t Goodman as I said enjoy them .
From sweeping general assessment to personal opinion in but a few posts, thank you Paul that s more like it. Enjoy your day :)
Colm my first post was my personal opinion aswell
Sorry Paul but saying ‘horse outside was their moment in the sun’ is an objective remark albeit misinformed and totally wrong which I’m sure at this stage you have ascertained with a click of a google button. So again ‘From sweeping general assessment to personal opinion in but a few posts, thank you Paul that s more like it.’ But hey rather than view it that you were wrong about your ascertion and therefore experience an unpleasant reaction why not view it as a lesson in not posting when you don’t know what you’re talking about and consequently treat it as a learning experience thus reframing it as a positive experience. :)
that’s just silly colm.
Another subjective one you re getting the hang of it kid. Goodman x
another radio station is pulling the same stunt tonight , he is going to take an e tab , under medical supervision of course .
Bell ends
Nothing new about that the rolling stones started that fifty year ago
Hope there leaving the horse outside
When these two have fans,no wonder we are where we are in this country
have your say
