Lads, Matt does a great job a real pro, but jebus the amount of ads these days are really starting to piss me off.

And the crappy traffic reports, does anyone listen to this crap, its the same traffic jams on the same roads every day for the last 10 years

Cal was a presenter on FOX news back in the day , member of a panel discussion at weekend

I'd forgotten about Cal's Fox News past

Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that he used to be worth listening to. Most Irish people, I think, watch US politics with European eyes and find it hard to understand the mindset of people who vote for Republicans. It isn't helped by there being something of a pro-Democrat bias on the radio. So many of the Republican/Trump analysts who come onto the radio come across as obnoxious wingnuts, so it was good to hear Cal instead. I didn't really agree with him but was always interested in what he had to say. I've never liked how Matt and Marion gang up on him and try to shout him down and often wonder how they've all supposedly managed to remain friends through all of it. He was always going to blow, I think. Especially this week when he wasn't a happy man at all. It is a shame that he has gone down the angry, conspiratorial route but maybe watching too much conservative media has done that to him. He is no fan of the Democrats so I guess seeing Joe Biden getting back in has been playing on his mind. I bet there was a lot of kissing and making up going on during the ad break!

Cal remarried about 5 minutes after his wife died. I agree though - he has really gone way over to the loony side. I used to enjoy listening to him because he gave the other side of the argument without sounding like an extra from Fox News. Not any more, I'm afraid. Too much Trump is bad for you, no matter what you what your political persuasion is.

Actually felt sad listening to Cal tonight trying to defend the indefensible i used to enjoy him before with the alternative view on topics but he seems to have really be hooked into all of this conspiracy stuff coming from the Trump side .

At last, Cal having a right go at Matt and Marian.

Posted this in the other thread.

No its tragic tbh. Cal is badly struggling with the news of Trump going. He became way more hardline Trump diehard after his wife died and is clearly not coping. He used to be better than this and reeling him out now post Trump is unfair. He used to be a good counter voice, now its tantrums and conspiracy.

I rarely listen myself to TLW any more, only had it on to listen to Dunphy about the football.

That segment with the 2 McDermotts and Matt in full Woke Mode was cringeworthy to listen to. Some people's lives just seem to be about watching out for things they can shout sexism/racism at. Matt is no better, he is a shadow of the journo he once was.

Will not be tuning in again for a while.

Would love if they changed the theme tune to this based on the name alone:

Then when they listen to the words they can all have a #groupcry together, as this is a subject so serious it's not to be made fun of.............;):rolleyes::pac:

Should be renamed The Lost Word as it's currently only peddling to certain agendas. Matt seems to be pandering to the faux outrage brigade now that his MC conference Charing gigs are gone for the foreseeable. Probably goes down on his knees nightly praying he lands a gig in RTE.

I caught the tv segment with Jennifer Gannon*.

So in the first 90mins of yesterday’s show there was Gannon AND BOTH McDermott’s (Woke and Roe)? #wokefest

*Jennifer naturally referred to a female “gaff goddess” when talking about an Irish version of changing rooms. And talked about “the national ‘psych’” - I assume she meant “ psyche”. :rolleyes:

“The Last Woke” with Matt Cooper

They must be losing listeners due to this agenda and should have more common sense guests on.

Well I do know he’s lost me as a listener. Not only has Matt given up any semblance of an enquiring approach to topics, and become more biased than some US tv anchors, but the quality of contributors is approaching rock bottom.

Start the programme with Roe McDermott, with more man bashing.

"men are 33% more likely to interrupt a woman than they are a man".

Sweet Jesus.

Edit: not sure if this is meant to be a discussion on the debate in the US, or a man being mean to women one????

Edit: think she was getting a little emotional there at the end ... lucky she wasn't on with Duffy or Tubs, they would have kept going cos they could sense tears.

Bit of a balls up there on TLW.

GP on chatting about diabetes, made a mess of her chat and apologised to Matt and asked could she start again, he said you're grand it's not a problem that's why we record these pieces.

And off they went back to the start with Matt reading out the same script etc again.

But they forgot to edit it out obviously!

:D:D The fall in standards isn't exclusive to their contributors then

He's pissed with Ryanair cos O' Leary wouldn't contribute to his book on them.

It seems to me that Matt’s more pissed that he hasn’t got his refund yet. He goes on about it enough, that’s for sure.

A poster also asked about editorial decisions. I’m not sure exactly how this works, but would Matt have an awful lot of influence, if not control, over editorial content decisions?

Complete lack of balance on a lot of topics. Has given the vintners the freedom of the airways for the last 3 months and allowed Cribben and co spout their bull**** about publican's and their so called controlled environment etc. Can't turn it on most days without him talking about his never ending refund saga with Ryanair. Some of the contributors are worth listening to the likes of Gyder and the personal finance/consumer guy. The less we hear from Matt the better the quality of the broadcasting. He's no Bill O'Herlihy and too much ego at the moment.

Has to be or else he just doesn't care as much as he used to.

Agree that Matt cooper has gone down a lot used to really enjoy the show far too much bias no fan of Trump but while hard to find anyone somewhat neutral on him I want to hear a more objective view on issues . I listen to the music slot mainly now handy now with stored stations on radio making channel hopping easy .
