The Jason Byrne show on PhantomFM

OldGoat

The Jason Byrne show on a Monday is irksome. Nothing makes me reach for the dial quicker then that show. I just don't get it. The humour is very 'Lads down the pub having banter' and that is so wrong first thing on a Monday morning.
I tried, I listened to a few shows but at this point I even reach for the dial when I hear the taped soundbites being played throughout the day.

I don't want to sound like a grumpypants but it would be a disservice to the station to allow them to believe that everyone loves Jason and his mates.

Am I alone in my dislike of the show?

An awful eejit. He's even worse than that other ginger fool on 2fm.

You're not alone. He's so fúcking annoying. Come 10am and I run to change teh dial to Radio Nova until 12pm.
Can't stand those highlights they play either.

John Caddell should take those two hours back.

Today was Jason Byrne's last show. Don't know what's replacing it.

what a dickhead

OldGoat

They dropped the show? Ha, brilliant.

Oh my God! It's absolutely appalling! I was going to start a thread myself about it.

I listen to Phantom every day in work (through my PC) and I turn it off every Monday for his show.

There's not point to it. They sit around and talk absolute boll0cks. It wouldn't be too bad if it was funny, but it's like listening to a crap conversation down your local or something with a few lads who think they're funny.

I don't dislike him as a person, but he's just crap at this lark.

I thought at the end they said it was the last one for 'two months or so''?

you're far from wrong, i dislike him as a "comedian", he's just not funny at all, and if he was in my local with his lads carrying on like that he'd get a beating :cool:
i'm presuming its rte radio, well it just goes to prove how out of touch they are up there in Mountrose with they rest of us mere mortals, they're telly programming can confirm that.

That's what we have Wikipedia for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_FM

In 2010, Communicorp took a 30% stake and the station was relocated to Marconi House in January 2011 where it shares facilities with Today FM and Newstalk.

That was a bad show. I listened to it once and it was a car crash, they kept starting sentences with 'I'm not racist but...' I had to text in asking them to please stop as it was embarrassing to listen to. Other than that I like phantom

No, but not being utterly clueless on the subject before commenting on it normally helps. Most people posting here would have been aware that Phantom FM is not part of RTÉ. Also, the thread is about Jason Byrne's show on Phantom FM. Clearly you hadn't heard the show and knew nothing about the station, so your comments were off-topic.

Again, off-topic - and you're getting unnecessarily personal here. I'd suggest quitting while you're ahead, but you weren't ahead at any point. Nor were you on-topic. I'll assume that as your username is apparently supposed to suggest "genius" of some sort, you'll understand this, realise the thread isn't about you and get off the stage now...

Back on topic, I actually quite liked the show myself... it was harmless fun with random banter between a few comedians and some decent music thrown in. I've met both Jason Byrne and Eric Lalor in my time and find them both to be fun guys who are well able to talk. Yes, as already suggested, it was 'lads' stuff, blokey humour... but what harm?

Thread in the wrong section anyhow - should be moved to Phantom

OldGoat

CMod: Back on topic please. No more pantitwisting or meandering into schoolyard blustering. Don't make me report ye to the mods.


OP: Can I have my thread back now? Did anyone hear a reason given for the show being dropped?

I chose the forum here as I thought it might get a bit more traffic then the hosted forum. If the general consensus is to move it then I can do that.
