    Thats the second guest on tonight that mentioned their reverance of Tommy. And there have been others this season.

    Which goes to show the esteem he is held in.

    No-one admires Tubridy :D

    Great guest, Tommy let her speak too without asking her about deaths in her family going back to the famine era.

    It's absolutely stark just looking at it.

    I mean, it actually stands out to have a guest a) be allowed to tell their story without being interrupted, and b) not have the story dragged into misery.

    Maybe I missed it, but when she said a mob fella beat her up and put a gun in her mouth, did Tommy remember to ask her "How did that make you feel?"

    That is an amazing question.

    May sound like he's making light of the situation but he is actually opening up the interviewee.

    Imagine Tubridy asking an ex-addict if their time on drugs was good craic.

    Don't think he's famous now, just a human interest story. An ex heroin addict.

    He speaks very well on it. Talking about how it was great craic, but then it wasn't. Wonder how quickly it turned.

    Great speaker and delivery. Many of us could not narrate our lives as well as this man.

    Fair play to this fella. This room just got a little dusty here when he said about qualifying with a Masters.

    Tommy showing great emotion there. I hope he's never offered the LLS. This is much better.

    Tommy Tiernan has great empathy with his guests, it doesn't come as fake either.

    Tommy is a great listener. He gives the guest space to speak. Tubridy would be interjecting every 10 seconds and hurrying to get the interview done.

    Fair play to this lad coming on and going through his hard times so openly and turning his life around, I hope he goes onwards and upwards. Tubs would have asked what colour were the needles.
