Saw the tweet about her going on about comedy’s being too offensive.... let me guess she’s offended by inbetweenets and the like

No she reckons writers who say people get too offended these days are straight white males who are terrified about losing their power.

You know, due to all those great comedies written by women and minorities.

Jennifer Gannon on another muddled anti "straight white men" rant.

Matt silent as usual.

The Last Word has a lot of flaws, but despite these I often tune in on the drive home from work. However, nothing - and I mean nothing on the whole of Irish radio - has me jolting out of my car seat and reaching for the "off" button as the mere tone of Jennifer Gannons voice does. What an insufferable pain in the hole.

Ian Guider on with Matt is like a race to see who can drop the most “h”s.
Tree hundred jobs
Here’s Ian Guider wit the business news
Mat(h)s
Pat(h)s

How do you become a journalist when you make no effort to speak properly? You would think someone would have said it to him.

It's a toss-up for me between Jennifer Gannon (the self-described Freelance scribe & rent-a-gob) and Roe McDermott. The fake American accents are like nails on a blackboard. I can live with Ian Guider's accent because at least it's an Irish one. The other ones seem to have spent so much time watching 'Murican Bawks Sets, they've picked up the accent.

Roe mc dermot and Jennifer gannon were both cloned from colette browne.

Anyone else think that Larissa Nolan is a welcome breath of fresh air? Have heard her on TLW a good bit over the last few months and she seems to cut through a lot of the BS and speak very good sense. She carries a huge amount of respect for me as a sexual assault victim who doesn't seem to have let this ruin her outlook on life and doesn't man bash like other contributors. She ran rings around Ciara Kelly in one debate ( Ciara was caught out and didn't know Larissa's backstory) and was made to look very unprofessional. Also, she had a recent debate with Roe McDermott (on the gender pay gap iirc) who didn't seem to like being challenged one bit. It's amusing how the SJWs default to snarkiness if they don't get their way.
Finally, she rubbished the 'baby it's cold outside' "controversy" this week which had been championed by Aoife Barry the previous night.

Fair play to Larissa!

Honourable mention for Karl Deeter also.

They just about balance out Jennifer Gannon. Her last 2 tv slots consisted of 80% celebrity get me out of here. I've no interest in this show, grand, I'm probably in the minority. But change it up a bit please. There are other shows to review, it shouldn't be an excuse for her to ramble away on a show she's clearly obsessed with. Sign of a bad reviewer. She's even making me resent Ed Smith just by association on that slot. And Ed is one of the good ones. Don't ruin him for the rest of us

I can’t take Gannon seriously (and the frayne guy who does it with her ) as a tv reviewer as she’s never seen the wire or breaking bad (and I’d guess more) and pushes love island/celeb jungle and other reality shows... she seems the type who still watches friends 5 times a day on Comedy Central ... and she usually has a rant or a selection that’s Pc approved... the hypocrisy she pulled earlier this year about the Sweden soccer team was nauseating as well

Having heard Larissa Nolan on Pat Kenny's show the other morning I have to say it was refreshing to hear her point of view. Far more balanced and reasoned compared to some of the other hysterical female sjw's out there.

Yes please explain, was away from the radio.

It was their weekly review and I don't know who the reviewers were(think one was an Eoin McDermott),anyway they agreed that fairytale of new York should be sensored and we should give up eating meat,the whole segment was just a promotion for the snowflake generation and matt laughing away with it

I agree, it has being getting worse over time but this evening was just pure crap. One of the worse bits of radio I have ever listened too.

That poor woman who was reviewing mentioned she was heart broken several times (one being for the soccer player who was asked if she twerked) and then she was very angry at Leo pointing out that he didn’t get a free meal at a Kylie gig when he should have said nothing and focused on fixing the country.

Surely if you get heartbroken over things that don’t really affect you much you should have a long look at your emotional state.

I had forgotten about the Leo reference alright,jesus they get offended now when leo eats,in their eyes he shouldn't have time to eat and instead should be fixing all the problems in the country,of course no mention of who he was responding to in the tweet

Larissa Nolan is great.

Don't know if she is enough to keep me listening when the Americanised trio of Aoife Barry, Jennifer Gannon and Pamela Joyce are wheeled out every five minutes to tell me how terrible Trump is, how racist Irish people are and how brilliant every minority is.

Ursus Horribilis

I approach The Last Word with caution these days because of those dreadful contributors. It's ironic that the Aoife Barrys, Jennifer Gannons etc. of this world are happy to appear on a radio station that has blacklisted an entire newspaper (The Irish Times). The censoring of the Fairytale of New York is a silly season story. The continuing ban on Irish Times journalists is much more sinister. Still, it's easier to witter on about Love Island and Diversity, isn't it?

I don't think it was Eoghan McDermott but it might as well have been him and the female guest had exact same views so was heaven for Matt Cooper. They were highly offended about everything like the Norwegian female player being asked did she twerk at the football awards and Kevin Harts old tweets about gay people.

prunudo

I've heard an Eoin/Eoghan/Owen McDermott on The last word before but its not the 2fm lad. Think he maybe connected with The communications clinic.

Yeah cooper in his tweet promoting it said it wasn’t That McDermott

CatFromHue

Yeah he's from he communications clinic, whatever that is, the other McDermott is on 2FM at the same time as The Last Word.

Did they mention that other footballers at the awards show were asked dance questions too? Mbappe had to actually dance!

I like the show and listen to the podcasts regularly. Matt Cooper is a little biased, but is very professional in my opinion. The two contributors on last night caused me to turn off for the first time ever. I haven’t the patience to put up with that crap, nor the linguistic ability to explain how much I wanted to extend my arm down the radio and strangle the two of them. I don’t have the outlet of social media, mainly because I need to avoid their type but there is no doubt that the extreme left leaning thought police who are offended on behalf of everybody are a destructive force in the world. It’ll get worse before it gets better too.

Do you not think Matt is joining that merry band though?

He has changed completely in my opinion in the last couple of years. Probably since Trump got the POTUS job, cos since then he has gone off the rails.

I find he sides with a lot of the snowflakers, lefties and lets them off unchallenged too often.

Yes, he definitely does side with them and could be more impartial.

Should be more impartial. It's important that people hear both sides of an argument. Otherwise it's just Fox News all over again
