RTÉ won’t be happy this guys saying masks don’t work, does anyone care about covid anymore? (Outside of those very vulnerable/immuno compromised)
Why the fuuherke does Ballsy say after about 30 mins after an ad break
”XX and X are still with us”… Jeez they hardly come in for half an hour surely!!!
Quite strange I would think..
Tuned in this morning -first 'topic' was about female ( can I say that?) air stewards' high heels. Quickly tuned out and tried George Hamilton on Lyric. Found a nice sequence of soothing and tuneful music. Much better for my mentle elf.
I really must cut down on listening to 'experts' / chancers/ spoofers babbling about trivia. Modern media has become a desert of stultifying banality where one encounters the odd oasis of sanity all too rarely.
Does anyone know who the guests were this morning? I know Brenda Power was one. There was another guy who seemed to be in denial about the housing issues.
Ballsy of course being one of the most vocal trumpeteers of the celtic bubble wouldn't see a problem either. I'm alright jack could be his catchphrase.
Certainly he didn’t see a problem talking to Weckler on touring the USA.
Mad for road he was after the interview.
Cost!!!!
Cost…what cost, last thing on Ballsy’s mind it seems to be.
And why would it , given the wedge he is on.
And we are paying for all this…… sorry for the bad news there….. eh Nooze.
You tuned out in time, next topic was Covid, that's when I stopped listening.
Three British 20-somethings hospitalised after another attack in "safe" Dublin city centre by 15 feral teens. Instead Brendan's panel dive into Covid fear-mongering based on a random email from a rogue rural school teacher. I suppose the Covid years were the last time RTE came anywhere close to a profit!
Just had a listen back to the panel discussion.
Jaysus that was some "prostitutes laugh" from one of the panellists.
What is a prosituites laugh?
A very loud and inappropriate laugh from a lady in polite company.
A bit ironic that Louis Walsh , one of todays guests professes to be a great music lover , considering he’s inflicted woeful shite on us for years…..
O great Louis has another band ready to go called Next in line, just what the world needs.. Brenda nearly had a canary when he mentioned Willie Nelson smoking a bit a dope
As usual big ignorant Brendan jumps in saying how they’re not advocating the use of dope. God he’s a yellow bad€&d
Procession of grifters one after the other this morning……in my opinion.
Louis Walsh is a bit odd.
Despite all the years Louis has spent involved in the Irish (and UK) music industry, he added nothing of note during his interview today.... it was so bland.
About Roy Orbison: "I think he was an albino"..... I would have thought that he'd have known for sure that Roy was an albino because most people would know that. It was like Louis couldn't commit to a thought or an opinion.
He's all about promotion, his knowledge of music isn't very deep, even the last song there by Sinead Lohan he couldn't resist putting out a plea for her to "get in touch"(I wonder was that why he chose it) , his eye always on the next dollar. Sinead has been off the scene for years with far too much entegrity to bother with Walshe... I heard him once on one of those reality shows saying Leonard Cohen brought out a version of Hallelujah, he wrote the damn thing, at the time one of the crowds he was mentoring was in the process of butchering the song, cutting certain lyrics etc
Brenny was very clear that dope is “NOT good”, so that put all the hippies in their place.
Ballsy's panel all over the shop this morning as regards RTE and Tubridy - no coherency at all. John Halligan was the surprise, the supposedly socialist former TD worrying about his friend Ryan and defending the high fees paid to RTE presenters. Is Halligan so out of touch? Had his snout in the trough too many years? He then demonstrated his ignorance of the subject he was commenting on - misquoting figures and lauding RTE's programme called 'Live at Five'!!!! He came across as an empty vessel making a lot of noise.
Halligan came across as a total idiot, even Ballsy had to correct him.
I missed the show yesterday. Who did they have on?
Some Doctor on about gastric stuff, not great on the auld grammar,but a nice person, and a bunch of no-names flogging
‘internet services’.
Qualifications questionable I would opine!
Ballsy just plugged along I found, turned off eventually.
Turned on briefly before This Week program:
All chuckling and laughter:
I felt when I'm in a restaurant on my tod like Eddie Rockets, and there's a noisy party in the neighbouring table:
All chuckling and laughter - hehe hahahaha
Halligan is not out of touch in his own mindset:
He's Woke.
I’ve news for you! He IS an idiot!
Is Kate O'Connell on some sort of speed dial for Ballsy? She must be on nearly every other week.
Ballsy seems very ‘jumpy’ this morning.
Watch for the transition to relax mode after 1200 hrs.
She certainly seems to be. She comes across to me as one of those posh horsey women with the deep voice and a penchant for whips.
To be honest, she has always come across to me as someone with an unpleasant nasally accent. Not a proper northern accent, but south of the border a bit. Apologies to Francie B in advance for insult!
She’s from Tipperary l believe.
Is she really? I'm thinking Mattie McGrath now and yes a certain similarity perhaps. But I've known a good few Tipp people, men & women and can't say I'd place her there.
