Going on about a world tour - looked at their venues - come on lads , it is niche at best ——- venues with maybe 600 / 700 people

RTE had a stranglehold back then and Gerry was seen as the shining light next to Pat now if a big name like that dies you expect some news of drugs you be surprised otherwise

Tellingly, this “Super group” didn’t sing.

thesandeman

The Lifeboyz were expecting a big cheer when they announced their Irish dates but nobody in the audience took any notice 🤣🤣.

CH3OH

This is beyond cringe

Say Your Number

I would never debase myself like this.

FixdePitchmark

Jaysus - this is brutal

Atlantic Dawn

I think he will have to deliberately lose or his credibility in work on Monday will be lost 😁

Welsh Megaman

The producers are always expecting 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' levels of audience hysteria.

Sadly, this is Ireland - the audience are sullen, tired, and don't care.

Neither would their partners.

Subject the fellas to it instead

Say Your Number

Picture Of You isn't a bad song 😳

FixdePitchmark

These lads feel like plants ?

FixdePitchmark

Watering plants

All this talk of Gerry has got me thinking of Katy French, another high-flyer who couldn't stay away from the sneachta. She was also canonised after her death from a drug overdose, took a look at her picture on Wikipedia a few minutes ago, and it's a picture of her doing aid work in Africa! Madness.

And just like Gerry, Katy was someone who publicly took a rather sneering attitude towards those who took drugs.

CH3OH

Is Brian punishing them?

Say Your Number

Not Cark!

Atlantic Dawn

Ballyer Abú, Joe Duffy country 🤣

Welsh Megaman

NOT CARK!!

FixdePitchmark

Panic from Keith when Brian said all - he was there not all all. (LOL)

Welsh Megaman

Last show of the season next week?

Will Patrick develop another sudden warble in his voice at the right moment? Place your bets!

Please oh please, have Kneecap on as guests! 😁

Till next week!

Nos da 🙂

Its always been the case even years ago with Gay byrne, you would be looking back at some classic interviews he did back in the day and then the camera pans out to the audience and its all old people and really dead, like trying to bounce a ball off of mud

So should the show be renamed The Latte Latte Show , because everyone is milking it…. trying to make that work!

walshb

Duffy and McFadden. Only in Ireland. Two absolute chancers

animalinside

Witness season 1 episode 1.

I see RTE still haven't figured out how to configure the ol' iplayer software for movies.

I must admit, I liked Gerry Ryan, he was "of his time". I liked his honesty, he said whatever he liked, he talked about chasing Moira round the kitchen table, in fact he was always talking about her and the kids. He had his kids around the same time as me so I guess I was on maternity leave with the radio on a lot then. He made me burst out laughing on many occasions . He got away with murder on Radio.

But those were the times. It was a funnier, bawdier, world where comedy was allowed, opinions were allowed, life was very different to where we find ourselves now. Everything is scripted, sanitised, edited, pre-recorded now. Presenters apologise for the tiniest slip in case if offends someone (looking at you Brendan O Connor!), they say "he/she is not present to defend himself", Politicians say "I can't comment" as an excuse for doing nothing. Media and politics has changed utterly and not in a good way. Back in Gerry's time you could call a spade a spade, now you might offend someone.

I loved Gerry's irreverance, his rogueishness, it was fun. I'm glad I was around in those times, I'm glad I lived in a world that was easier, more carefree, less woke, less PC. I don't condone Gerry Ryan's cocaine and brandy habit, in fact he seemed to be on a downward spiral after his marriage broke up. You could see it would end in disaster. He was hosting Operation Transformation FFS! Who thought that was a good idea?

It sickens me the way Lottie has used his name and his memory to this day to make a living. Gerry had talent, Lottie doesn't. Gerry should not be lauded now, he died supporting a corrupt business, there is no glory in that. They need to let him RIP and stop milking him 15 years later!
