Sure, look, he's probably a harmless fcker really.

But the pangs of recognition were so strong. Listening to him reminded me so acutely of being stuck in some living room at 4AM and ruefully regretting - again - thinking that it was a sound thing to do to engage a stranger in conversation.

Very true.

Yer man wittering on and all you have is the dregs of a can of bulmers left, facing into a long walk back to your gaff in the pisses of rain.

And you feel a bit bad for humouring them and pretending to care, when you know they'll be the subject of an anecdote at a later date.

Rte could have surely got someone better for the show.

Absolutely brilliant guest.

Only watching it now.

What a world it is!

A million miles away from the 9-5.

This is one fearless woman

What in the names of jeasus is this lad on about?

Tommy can only nod and keep his eye on security

mzungu · 03-01-2021 01:51AM

I switched off when your man came on. First two guests were top drawer.

That's a bit generous!

They need to stick with just 2 guests. AC interview felt rushed & she was the most interesting of the lot

Usually when I watch these interviews I warm to whoever he's talking too after a period,

But this lad is just an absolute spoofer.

We've all met a version of this lad at some time or another.

Usually a clown that emerges out of the smoke at a party with a guitar singing No Woman No Cry.
How someone likes that ends up on primetime telly on a Saturday night in Ireland ? I've no idea

jammiedodgers · 03-01-2021 02:25AM

The irony of Nicola Tallant saying people care more about what they eat than what they shove up their nose and then having this nutcase chef, off his tits, on as a guest next.

Also Andrea Corr is a national treasure.

03-01-2021 03:17AM

Every time I see Andrea Corr being interviewed I like her a bit more..

She's a true artist..

AdrianG08 · 03-01-2021 03:28AM

Dont mean to offend but did yer man at the end have down syndrome? Genuine question.

Aside from that he sounded like a pure spoofer, Walter Mitty job crossing the north sea solo during storm brendan.

03-01-2021 03:49AM

Total bloody hipster dope..

We have bloody firelighters here too ya clown..

Tommy asking him if he'd have been considered simple has to be my TV highlight of 2021 so far..

But like yeah.. he's just an evolution of the hipsters knocking around there the last few years..a product of the social media revolution of the last ten years.. everything is a narrative..a considered personality built around craic he read on the internet..

With an Irish begorrah twist..

I do think Tommy thought there was something wrong with him for a finish..

I disdgree. He leaves long pauses. There's an unsettling silence between questions. Like as if he finds it difficult to come up with a question

Her hair loks odd. Needs a proper combing.

Odeta · 03-01-2021 12:12PM

I think that Tommy Tiernan is a far better interviewer than Deirdre O’Kane. The last guest last night was a tricky interviewee - at one stage he said “vibrationally flirting with energy”! Tommy later commented “were you shi@@ing yourself?” It was all a bit mad

tayto lover · 03-01-2021 01:00PM

I think that last lad was locked in the Greenroom for far too long.

Thank you spelling fairy.

The song may be "classic" but it is still thrash.

Just trying to help you out, if you keep saying thrash I can only presume you mean the song is in the style of bands like Slayer, Megadeth or Anthrax but you would be inherently wrong as it is not characterized by overall aggression and fast tempo as is often common within the genre. So no, thank you.

LollipopJimmy · 03-01-2021 03:44PM

I really like Tommy but the longer this show has gone on the more morbid it has become. I was hoping he would ask Andrea about the brother though

He is lucky to be alive, like wtf was he thinking after he was told not to go by an experienced sailor. I read the article RTE did on him, it is pure waffle

I actually quite enjoyed the last guest's story. Sure, he may be a neo-hippie with serious notions, but it was a nice yarn all the same. I see other people talking about not wanting to get stuck talking to him at a house party, but I'd rather be stuck talking to him than somebody else talking about football.

If you're talking about Jim's proclivity toward conspiracy theories, there's no delicate way to introduce that subject, and it's kind of lose-lose for Andrea to talk about.
I think Tommy would have the sense to know that talking about it would probably make Andrea a bit uncomfortable.

youngblood · 04-01-2021 09:52PM

Thought the last guest was a breath of fresh air, v interesting, not often you get to hear people talking about an actual adventure and his story was v enjoyable, more of that please! World needs more adventurous people like this no matter how crazy some people think they are

Tommy could give a master class on using silence to get interviewees to takk

Tommy comes from a time where people didn't take masterclasses on how to talk..

Things have gone arseways since people started studying that sort of craic.. now you just have these interchangeable generic YouTube people moving their hands a lot..

Andrea is one of the most beautiful women in Ireland, natural beauty and so down to earth.

What age is she? No forehead wrinkles, botox?

She looks like Dervla Kirwan from Ballykissangel and also Deirdre O' Kane

It's not about how to talk. It's about how to listen.

Tommy's a few years younger than me, btw, so I don't need any lectures on what times he come from. I've no idea who these YouTube people that you mention are, but if they're bothering you, try not clicking the Play button.

Ash.J.Williams · 05-01-2021 01:50PM

It is funny that the best talk show is hosted by a chap that isn’t trained by RTÉ and didn’t come through the ranks
