    Boxer Kenny Egan, always got the impression hes a complete knobend. Confirmed when he popped up in a photo posing with Daniel Kinehan in that Panorama doc.

    For a fella who boxed at the level he did, he has a remarkably poor knowledge of rival boxers' names. Have heard him talk about his career a few times, and it's always "de Rushen", "de German", "de Cooben". Thick as a ditch I say.

    Is he still a county Councillor?

    Tbf, if you watch Irish boxing commentary during the a fight, they never use the names. It's always 'he/ she's fighting the cuban/ the Chinese/ The Russian/ the Nigerian/ The Brazilian' etc.

    They tend to refer to their nationalities because a lot of these countries have 'styles' of boxing.

    Not excusing him not knowing the names tho-but I suppose it's just a boxing thing. I know it's not exclusive to IReland, I know a few foreign boxers who referred to Irish male boxers as 'The Irishman'... like 'I'm gonna beat that Irish man'.

    Sir Stev-o-Timothy...whatever his name is, was on the LLS tonight.

    I've my own share of issues, mental health wise... so I understand things can be brutal when stuff goes wrong.

    But losing his facebook page monetization, and going into a depression over it... I'm just not sympathetic towards that.

    I mean, like the song says, 'Video killed the radio star'... well, the internet killed the video star. And eventually something will kill the internet star.
    We saw it with Vine, youtube, blip, megavideo, facebook, Instagram, Twitch etc etc...

    Most of these folks know it's a short term thing. You have to plan for something or else you're in trouble.

    Ryan Gosling. I’m sure he’s a nice man and lovely to his mother and all that, but something about him...

    Was flicking through Netflix or Prime the other night, thought First Man might be decent, but I couldn’t hack 2hrs of him, so I passed.

    Have to agree, there's something about him.
    He seems (to me) to be the type of lad that would have been an absolute scrote when younger and is now pretending it didn't happening / ignoring it.
    Might be wrong but I've got that impression of others, having seen it first hand too and be right.

    He's made good cash out of a one trick pony act, he surely knew it wasn't going to last forever?

    When I was growing up I used really hate those eco warriors who used live in the trees on the N11!

    Theres a blast from the past. I remember they had two of them on the LLS in a debate about it. I was in favour of the trees being saved but this pair were just counterproductive, behaved like total idiots.

    Have to disagree there, it's a sin is very well made and he was very good in it.
    He is a good singer also, not sure what he is like outside those gigs?

    I think that's why its inexplicable.

    And yeah, It's a Sin was genuinely heartbreaking at times. Though it's use of humour was very human.

    She was expensive to hire, for real. Her pay packet may not have looked excessive (in comparison to others)... but not included was the cost of her wardrobe (none of the RTE tat for her) and she also had her own makeup crew (see my comment on the wardrobe thing, similar opinions).

    She was a VERY expensive hire.

    That's the impression I sort of got from him too. I doubt he stopped being a scrote, tbh. Just looking at his social media. People who tend to be jerks...they don't hide it very well.
    He's one of em. (also, the joke about the black guys... I get the feeling he thinks he can make those jokes because he's 'woke' and 'it's okay when we do it'... Nope. Nope).

    There's some interesting videos about youtube creators who left youtube.
    Many of them moved on to other venues, from producing to their own podcast websites.
    They knew it's temporary. You're definitely not gonna make a living out of it now.
