Focusing on the experiences of vulnerable children, the narrative delves into the author's personal journey, including the struggles faced by his brother and the impact of bullying. It critically examines the corrupting power of money while highlighting the ongoing efforts of the Milton Hershey School to uplift and support thousands of America's neediest youth. Through these themes, the story reveals both the challenges and resilience found within this community.
The 2 Johnnies' massive success has taken them as far afield as Sydney, Compton and Abu Dhabi. But for them nothing compares to living in Ireland. And in C'Mere and I Tell Ya they dig into the tastes, habits and rites of passage that have made them who they are. Whether it's ... - dressing for the debs ('I'd say my cravat was the talk of Templemore for weeks') - succeeding in a band ('I did backing vocals for six months and it turned out I was singing the wrong lyrics') - doing a Strictly fundraiser for your GAA club ('Remember you're not Julia Roberts and the local butcher isn't Richard Gere, so keep it in the pants') - recognizing the no-go moves at a stag ('Nobody wants to see a sixteen-stone man in a pink thong. Nobody') ... Johnny B and Johnny Smacks capture it perfectly. And they have down-to-earth advice for every conceivable situation - and a few inconceivable ones. C'Mere and I Tell Ya is a one-stop celebration of Irishness, chicken goujons and being sound. 'It's funny but there is always truth in the humour ... A hell of a Christmas present!' Oliver Callan, RTÉ
