Doyle's stuff is increasingly anachronistic in this day and age. The literal version of Jason Byrne, perhaps!

Still a great writer though. Family(BBC and RTE) is incredibly fraught and took many by surprise when it first aired on TV.

People look past his work today because it harks back to a bleaker time in Irish history.

Yer man from The Gloaming, as he is in my uneducated head.

Anyone who, like I did, thinks that trad music ain't up to much, embrace these guys.

They are magic.

What is that squeeze box thingy the singer is playing?

I tend to look down on Dubliners and other Irish city people

NabyLadistheman · 15-02-2020 11:52PM

That was brilliant

PS be very careful when pressing "play" or you may hear Michael Healy Rae too.

Just watching the Pádraig Harrington interview on plus one.

The guy is great. Ireland's best sportsman arguably and he gets a lot of flak.

Interesting interview.

mr.anonymous · 15-02-2020 11:54PM

Make it an hour longer and put it on a Friday night!

That was varied and thought provoking, really enjoyable.

I think he would make a good motivational coach when he eventually gives up the golf.

Tommy had it spot on about Dublin and Eastern humour. It is sharper, defensive and often used as a weapon not like in the West or South where it is more of a funny story. A funny guy in the West might be viewed with suspicion.

Very strange question from Tommy
"What do you think love is"
Wtf.

Baby don't hurt me.

Disagree. Depends on the person. I do think we're lucky that people here, more often than not, are gas. Something I'm quite proud of.

Tommy very off with the interview with Pádraig.

"So you'll end up the next while developing a personality" was just pathetic from him.

I sensed a low-key envy of Harrington.

Tommy has gone through stuff mentally and I could almost feel him projecting his own stuff onto Pádraig.

Could be the way some Dubliners react to country fellas?

JohnnyFlash · 16-02-2020 12:10AM

Harrington ended up being by far the most interesting guest. Lowry was also a great guest. Golfers eh?

I mentioned it earlier, but this was when he did the Sunday Papers review on Off The Ball back in 2018. What they are discussing has obviously aged, but it was one of the best pieces of radio I've ever heard. The optimistic Harrington pitched against the pitch black realism/cynicism of Kimmage.

Probably because the culchie wont give them money for a " hostel".

They should lose a finger every time they ask that, dregs of the city.

Fred Cooke is utterly pointless by the way. I assume he's getting paid by RTE. Probably got in with them since his dancing days.

I'm sure Fred Cooke does a warm up act before Tommy comes on

Yeah Fred Cooke has been Tommys warm up act for many stand up shows before, they're good mates. Fred Cooke is to Tommy Tiernan what Ed Byrne is to Dara o'Briain, two friends through comedy with one riding on the coat tails of the other.

saabsaab · 16-02-2020 12:23AM

Maybe because they have never been to Cork?

I've seen Fred do stand-up a good few times. He's a very funny comedian - if you like slightly mad and shambolic comedy. Which I do. He makes people laugh. Fair dues to him.

Think Cooke is from Navan as well.

Cheers. I didn't know that.

Another great show and a lovely piece of music at the end.

This is what Friday nights should be.

Interesting interview.

The face of Padraig when Tommy was asking some of the questions was gas.... kind of 'what's he on about?' 'never been asked that' head on him.
