Deafness, Dara's New Show, & Marty's Dead Mammy: The Late Late Show Friday 8th April 2022

Pelvis Parsley · 07-04-2022 4:43pm #1

My goodness me, the Pointing Thread has taken on a life of its own, well done everyone!

This week, on InstaHobbidy, promises little and will invariably deliver less. Ah well, let's get on with it.

Dara O'Bríain is back on the road-I'll give him kudos for the name at least. Mildly amusing. Which is more that can be said for Ichabod's bald jokes.

"One of Ireland's most popular comedians Ó Briain will drop in this week to talk about his current comedy tour So...Where Were We? and the joy of being back on stage after two years of pacing the house."

For. F*ck. Sake.

"Marty Morrissey will join Ryan to discuss why this year is a major experiment for the GAA and he’ll also be thanking the clubs and counties around the country for their overwhelming support following the passing of his late mother Peggy."

"And Ryan will be chatting to three Irish CODAs (children of deaf adults) - Declan Buckley, Amanda Coogan and Shane O'Reilly - about the very positive impact growing up the children of deaf adults have had on their lives."

Music by the preposterously named Ferdia Walsh Peelo. He was on the Toy Show ten years ago, so that's the pre-song interview sewn up, with endless questions from Tubridy asking how great it was to meet the Toyman.

Oh...AND JOHNNY F*CKING LOGAN!!!

I look at you and I get the feeling whhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hopefully Ferdia Walsh Peelo will get to talk more about Sing Street than his time as a Toyshow kid. He's unfortunate as his Dad works for RTÉ and he was on TLLS Toy Show, where do you put his interview RTÉ Canteet, RTÉ Offspring or TOY SHOW mention?

It will be worth watching for Johnny Logan alone, perhaps he has a new collaboration with Stormzy coming up.

Breaking News, Tubs stuck, ambulance on Route

Peggy Morrissey RIP died in a car accident at the age of 94 only about four months ago.

You should be ashamed to make a joke about the poor woman.

Marty is the celebrity, she was a private citizen who lived a good long life.

Please edit the thread title.

Mother of God, get over yourself 🙄

If your offended

Pelvis Parsley · 07-04-2022 6:24pm

Ah, hang on now @elperello! We know you're an unrepentant RTE apologist, but the thread title is neither intended as a joke aimed at Marty, his late mother, or any other members of his unfortunate family.

As it happens, I quite like Marty, and it's hardly his fault if he's one of the LLS fillers.

The title is a dig at both the misery obsessed host, and his equally dysfunctional production team-who CHOSE, on the RTE website from which the OP is quoted, to emphasis the fact that Marty will be quizzed on his recent family tragedy.

So, change the record, there's a good man.

Maybe Leo is on the threads 😁

What's the Johnny Logan misery angle do you think? Does he have cancer or Parkinson's ? Any recent bereavements? Maybe he might use the appearance to come out as gay/transgender/asexual/whatever you're having yourself.

He has others checking in/ Monitoring, so to speak

mistersifter · 08-04-2022 7:51pm

On the radio this morning The Pointy Fella said that O'Briain was gonna talk about something "beyond comedy". Sounded like this interview could have misery potential.

It'll be all about his adoption! He devotes part of his current live show to the subject.

PsychoPete · 08-04-2022 7:55pm

Schindlers List is on RTE 2 at 10 if you want something more uplifting than the late late show

Ryan will chat to Marty Morrissey about the DEATH of his mother, Peggy.

Johnny Logan will perform live to mark the first anniversary of the DEATH of Shay Healy.

3 Irish children of DEAF parents wil talk to Ryan about the positive influence of deaf adults in their lives.

One feels there may have have been a mishearing at the production huddle about whether this was going to be another death special or a deaf special so this is what we are left with.
