    Great speakers - and natural.

    First of all I don’t think you know what “salacious” means.

    Second I fail to how a current affairs programme is “dumbing” itself “down” by talking about the biggest current affair of the past twenty odd years. Anyway I thought The Late Late was supposed to be light entertainment?

    Honestly I really believe that a lot of the viewers foaming at the mouth watching Ryan tonight would feel a lot better if they would just ask Mammy if they could change the channel.

    I know exactly what it means and I use it deliberately. It has become almost sexual the way RTE is treating this whole thing. And yes, rte has dumbed itself down. Its current affairs programming, especially with regards Covid-19 has become little better than the Sunday World's 'crime' reporting - the paper needs the story, the paper feeds off the story, without the story the paper has nothing.
    If you want to continue to wallow in this constant negative **** that the Irish media have been pumping for the last ten months then go right ahead. It serves no purpose and it is destroying us. It is constant and unending.

    You think we don't know the serious position we are in at the moment? You think we don't care?

    When this is over and the story dies down, the Irish media are going to have some serious questions to answer for their incredibly irresponsible behaviour over the duration of this entire event.

    Unbelievable talent.

    Ryan could have done this type of show much more often this Winter

    They need to get Christy Moore on soon and get 3 or 4 tunes out of him

    Can you drink 1/2 pints only with one kidney ?

    Pfft. I’m hard. I’ll be back for my pint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,067 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    May I be so bold as to suggest a new drinking game for The Late Late Show. Every time you hear the phrase:
    "When the doctor told you that your illness was terminal how did you feel"
    You take a bottle of whiskey and a pistol, and head out to your private study at the back of the house.

    The only issue is Ryan will have your family on the show in the few weeks to discuss their pain and suffering.

    Take it however way you like.

    The show’s been on for almost sixty years and it’s never been strictly light entertainment. Never.

    You can complain as much as you like but as far as most right-minded people are concerned if you’re just going to watch The Late Late Show week after week and still moan about that, you’re just a crank.

    Share with us your enjoyment :)

    I think they decided to let this roll for once. - Like what the hell is wrong with 40 mins in a whatever 2.5 hour show.


  • Registered Users Posts: 717 ✭✭✭Wishox


    I can't wait to get over to Dun Laoghaire, track down Ryan, punch him square in the face, and harangue him for being a misery p0rn ghoul. :)

    Not good enough, he will be back. Rather tie him to the undercarrige of a plane going to new york, actually he would probably survive and hit it big in the states the slimey ****

    The tide crosses from Holyhead at 9am, wild swimming is all de rage. Turn right at de pier when you arrive, he's just a few hundred metres up.

    I know way less than I should about trad.

    I only realised a while ago that the difference between a jig and a reel is that a jig is 3/4 time and a reel is 4/4.

    cant watch this im Depressed now

    Fitting show tonight to justify the 495k.

    You used it deliberately because RTE has been treating covid “almost sexually?”

    I’m sorry but I’m just going to stop reading and responding to your posts. They have no value and they are a waste of my time. Good night.

    **** my foot just went up and down - uncontrolled.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,530 ✭✭✭PieOhMy


    The late late is actually like Tommy Tiernans show in a way. On TT he dosent know who the guest is before hand and interviews the guest. On the late late Ryan knows who the guest is but hasnt a clue about them or their background. If it's not a narrow band of american politics or the Beatles or sickness he is found wanting.
    Talking gibberish to musicians about fantasy sessions and god knows what rubbish to any athlete.

    I am at a total loss as to explain why someone who claims to be so well read is such a light weight on almost everything. Actually on reflection I think its coz he just doenst care. Hes getting his 500k regardless and has had a silver spoon all his life.

    Even playing that in my mind gets me emotional.

    Best thing ever.

    It’s one of the positive things about Irish culture is Irish trad music. It’s not ‘cool’ but it can draw people together and it is also serious fun to play in a group.

    I've heard a bit of them, wasn't blown away by then but I'd give it another try. They are very highly regarded.

    A girl singing like that in a pub - with about 6 in me. Makes me weak at the knees.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,732 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Can you play 'Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye' whilst simultaneously throwing Ryan out of the studio?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,501 ✭✭✭FintanMcluskey


    She can :P

    Post of the night I think

    I have just emailed them there re tonight's show.

    I emailed them last week, got the generic reply that they received my email, yada, yada, yada

    I can't believe they've just done a bunch of tunes with a small bit of chat. It's...like they've done something really well.

    The fact he was English shows the utter bollox that is nationalism.

    When you think of that daft show they had on for - the girls number 1. When all you have to do - is just put genuine talent out there.

    Two girls are unreal - great stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,401 ✭✭✭Nonoperational


    You’d almost get emotional when you’re reminded what Ireland can be about and not what it’s so often turned into.

    Not to trivialise the many many issues we have but we do have a certain spirit and decency that hopefully will prevail.


  • Posts: 5,311 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    What a breath of fresh air this musical segment has been, feeling right nostalgic for my local about now. Craic agus ceol.

    Disagree.





    It's cool as f*ck.

    And The Late Late has seriously failed to show it

    Can RTE do a last Friday of every month with Irish tunes, 2 hours or so?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,732 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Keep playing!

    Boo-urns! :(
