She has quite a big wiki page.

I'm a bit disappointed he didn't ask about her background more.

Her wiki page talks about how her father was a soil scientist and of a formative experience when she got into the nature stuff.

Mot enjoying this song. Your one seemed sound
Your man at the beginning was not bad either if only the two in the middle bad of been better. I am afraid some one has to say what we might we all thinking and maybe even thought that "The Late Late show" was actually better this weekend than The Tommy Tiernan show.

TheRiverman · 28-02-2021 12:14AM

Just reading the comments here,I am glad I changed channel when Liam Cunningham was asked by Tommy, what other chat shows has he been on ?.

Cluedo Monopoly · 28-02-2021 12:15AM

She made a very good point. Modern gardens are fake looking. I blame the French. We need to let a lot more land go wild.

ax530 · 28-02-2021 12:19AM

Arc - leave garden to grow as it wants, Westport house have hired her to turn it into an arc ?

Would it be worse than the bog roll shortage at the beginning of covid, now that's what I call panic

Music act was the strongest thing this week

Felt Tommy didn't know where to lead Liam Cunningham. Feel there's more interesting stuff not being told there.

Not familiar with 2 Johnnies, but they'd next to nothing to say, and weren't remotely interesting when saying it.

And final guest, something contradictory about the final guests story.

Just had a look at their YouTube channel. Fair play and all that but some of their videos have over a million views - who exactly is clicking on this sh*te??

That's it, I'm going to buy a pair of Wrangler bootcut jeans and will make videos with songs about scoring sideline cuts from the 45 and pints of cider with the lads on bales of hay.

PTH2009 · 28-02-2021 03:09AM

Loved the music act this week, Found the guy on youtube by accident a few months back and started loving his covers, he has a great voice and would love to see him live.

Wouldn't be going out of my way to watch the 2 Johnnie's but enjoyed the chat tonight, not everyone's cup of tea but there harming anyone in their endeavours and obviously have their heads screwed on to build the profile they have, best of luck to them.

Ash.J.Williams · 28-02-2021 01:00PM

Recorded it ... heard the two johnnies were on .... deleted it

Watching fork handles instead

Outkast_IRE · 28-02-2021 01:11PM

We have a very small garden but have a patch for flowers, shrubs etc.

We have lavender, dahlias, Daffodils, Tulips and a few other bits and pieces we change each year. Its generally thronged with bees every year, if everyone made a small bit of effort there would be no issue.

The amount of hedgerows being destroyed in the country is eliminating a massive food source for them and harming birds and other wildlife.

Not my cup of tea but fair play to them if they are making a few bob from it.

Hardy Bucks was pretty funny in fairness. I don’t think it was much gaa from what I remember. It was more about drink, drugs, women and small town country life. Now that I think about it was actually hilarious, the best comedy on Irish tv in years.

completedit · 28-02-2021 01:37PM

Yeah so funny.

What is it about the two Johnnies that has some people who love them and others who find them awful?
I don't enjoy Irish country humour, the road frontage, shifting and gas craic stuff isn't interesting to me. I liked the guys backstory about waorking in the food processing plant

Yeah. Hardy bucks were more “small town” ireland type situations - mainly about drink, drugs, women

2 johnnies are more rural Ireland situations - so, focus is on farming and Club GAA jokes.

Ash.J.Williams · 28-02-2021 02:19PM

Gaa humour is up there with mother in law jokes

Housefree · 28-02-2021 02:36PM

Looking at the music acts on TT over the weeks and the lad on First Dates the other night I have come to the conclusion that Dundalk is the cultural powerhouse of Ireland

Hardy Bucks was more like Trailer Park Boys

Who would be your 3 dream guests (living and realistic) on the show?

Love to see Roy Keane, Vincent Browne and Gerry Adams

He wouldn't get change out of any of those 3.
Need to think on that. John Creedon, Marcus Rashford, and the partners Megan Rapinoe, Sue Bird.

Lad GAGA · 01-03-2021 01:21PM

Thought the show was ok the other night. Was surprised and disappointed at how nervous Cunningham was and because of that the interview didn't glean as much as it should have. Enjoyed the last guest and I think she made some very good points and was interesting to hear how and why her view has changed over time.

There is a whole movement in agriculture similar to what she was on about, regenerative agriculture. It's worldwide, many of the leading strategists would have spoken at a conference last Nov hosted online here in Ireland, called Biofarm 2020.
So she not whacky, away with the fairies, as some here make out.

Yeah I don't quite get the invective they seem to have attracted on this thread. A bit of anti culchieness I'd hazard to guess. Seemed like two very genuine lads who are just living a dream. I'd say they would be the first to admit they are completely winging it with their music/comedy/podcasting career but are going to keep it going as long as they can. Not my thing but fair play to them.

completedit · 01-03-2021 07:11PM

Yeah, I just think it's a type of personality that doesn't like them. I include myself in that. Brian Griffin psuedo intellectuals People can not like them if they don't want but just know its a bias. I'd say its the GAA head types that listen to them, their generic "gas craic" comedy and maybe their anti-intellectualism is what would irk some people
