It's not about how to talk. It's about how to listen.

Tommy's a few years younger than me, btw, so I don't need any lectures on what times he come from. I've no idea who these YouTube people that you mention are, but if they're bothering you, try not clicking the Play button.

Yeah, it is about how to listen.. he's just very genuine I think.. it's an honest connection, and proper communication..

But the last few years there actually have been people giving classes on how to communicate.. and the focus on it leads to it being more superficial, as opposed to honest communication..

That was kind of my point..It has lead to a kind of generic YouTube personality.. where from a distance it can come across as confident and positive, but it lacks depth..

(It's been something that gets to me for a good while.. and your mention of masterclasses in talking to people just triggered me..)

It's not really a new phenomenon. The book, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' has been out for decades - a book which contains advice that you would think is fairly obvious/superficial, such as 'smile' and 'become interested in other people'.

Yeah, fully agree - very honest, very sincere, very open (including his story about being notified by Garda of the threat to his life, and of not getting paid in border counties). It makes much more of an interesting conversation than a traditional celeb/chat show interview.

Missed the start. Who are these two lads?

I suspect a non empty envelope of a non white color would have resulted in a much shorter and simpler planning process.

It was pretty funny how Tommy just abruptly changed the subject when he could sense your man's monologue beginning to gather steam.

There musicians and brothers from Kerry. They have been on TG4.

Brendan and Séamus Begley. Two legends of Irish traditional music. You obviously live under a rock, they are regularly on television.

Water John

They're from Clare. Begley and Cooney, would be Seamus Begley and Steve Cooney.

They most certainly are not. They are West Kerry men.

Pretty cool in fairness, their voices work so well together.

The make a change from the usual suspects you have on these type of shows.

Tiernan is obviously familiar with the lads, but he doesn't make any effort to provide the uninformed viewer wih any trigger of interest or context. Very disappointing effort.

They are from Kerry.

(no disrespect to Clare)

Is there much to know?

They're traditional musicans, playing traditional music.

Water John

Always thought Seamus Begley was from Clare.

Lovely to hear native Irish being spoken in the mainstream.

I had no who they were.
Trad music is more for older people?

An easy mistake, the music carries over.:)

Oh god, she's doing the 'talking with her hands' thing..

Say Your Number

Jimmy Page??

This show is a total set up. Tiernan 100% is aware of the guests coming up, his questions and anecdotes specific to the guests are well rehearsed.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
