I guess the show needs it's own thread. The plan is that Oliver Callen, Brendan Courtney and couple of other tba hosts will do it will into the winter. It very much looks like the vacancy is left open for Tubs to return.
"If he defamed her there are avenues of redress open to her."
Sinn Fein could advise.
Francie…. please don't post idiot responses all your life.
I deliberately did not go party political in my post…. I merely outlined what I would do…. Ill say it again what I would do if someone like Callan came up with that remark.
But of course ,as expected you jumped in with the size 12s and played the whataboutery card.
Read the fokkhing post dude.
Would you tolerate the US embassy calling to demand his head because of the way he took shots at Trump, Harris, Vance, Biden? Or when he takes shots at a host of public figures and politicians routinely, should Kevin be putting the ads in de papers?
The 'We want a national broadcaster but only if we can control what is said' days are long gone or certainly should be. A minister cannot 'run' anyone out of an organisation just because they got lampooned. If he defamed her there are avenues of redress open to her.
It was the way it was said really
3.18 into the show.
I’d run that lad out of the organisation if I was that or any minister.
Cheap shot.
Someone would want to sit you down and explain that comedy is subjective, you not finding him funny is immaterial, many do and pay for the pleasure others will pay for Mario or Mrs Brown. More power to them.
He was talking about the technical problems with Trumps X interview and said
'it was glitching like Helen McEntee when she was asked about immigration from the north, riots or anything really'.
What'd he say?
If anyone was listening to Callan this morning and the remark he made about H McEntee, I know if I was a minister
however I was performing if some grifter getting taxpayers money said that about me I would move heaven and earth to have the fuuhker kicked out of the number.
Lad has form here, said so himself….Kevin……maybe you need to move on this.
Correct Bobby, a nasty element infiltrating some threads here lately……smell of paint off some of them.
You can wish someone well with their health and not enjoy their light entertainment radio show…
Do you believe the lies you are typing doc? You don't wish him anything but failure since he took over from your mate Tubs. You were celebrating when numbers were down.
Disgusting as usual, from the biggest wum on boards.
Plenty of well wishers, but I don't think Noel is too happy.
You need to learn what is a subjective opinion and what is an objective opinion.
You will never be able to objectively divine what people find funny and why. It's as time honoured a truism as any truism out there.
Mario Rosenstock doesn't do it for me…am I haunting threads giving my subjective opinion on him like a jilted teenage lover…no, I'm not. Callan doesn't do it for you but he does for many many people. Get over it, you'll be happier.
For news of the world..... You know where to go
For slanty eyed view points… buy something printed on a dead tree ... 😂😂
Which is ridiculous, both shows should be included for what he is being paid.
I remember when Callan was being interviewed after taking the role. He was playing down the salary and saying he had no option to negotiate. It is 150 k for less then five hours of airtime a week. For a show that requires very little prep.
Is Callans Kicks an external production or is it in house?
Beyond silly thinking your subjective opinion is of any import.
People find him funny, many people. get over it.
Would be interesting to know the full financial arrangements. Presumably a separate wedge for Callan’s Kicks and the radio show. Brendan Courtney hasn’t appeared in the slot for a long time, Maura Derrane now the regular deputy.
Unfortunately Mr.S. If he is still poncing along about this, he has caught the Montrosia bug badly.
As you allude to he has a simple format, newspapers and a bit of banter up to 0920, then a soft interview with some wannabe, wrap up and fohherke off home.
The sad thing is that some dorks in Montrose might listen to him instead of telling him to sling his hook…
Bit of a gobdaw who's fallen for believing in his own publicity.
I like Ollie but if he’s still on with this it’s done cheek. He has a soft 1 hour per day show that has a fixed format requiring a limited amount of work. I’d shut up if I was him.
Is he still going on about this. Is this taken from another interview, or is it the same one from last month.
His name is Patrick McKeown. Booked up until 2026, be doing something right. Oliver definitely said signing off on Monday that he would be back on Thursday. But Maura said in her intro on Tuesday she was in for the rest of the week.
Did anyone catch the name of the guy Maura just had on? Patrick something? He was talking about using nose breathing and not mouth breathing. I'd be interested in reading his book. TIA.
God listening to Maura Derrane is like being stuck in a queue behind a woman with notions telling all her friends about her exciting life and beliefs where nobody else can get a word in edgeways. She seems like a nice lady but not a person fir radio I think.
imagine a pale_stale_male©️ hate_listening©️ to a 📻 show where the broadcaster lives rent_free©️ inside his head 🤣

Yes, the fake guffawing is a completely new thing on this timeslot.
The female comedian was Bláithín de Burca. I cannot really comment on her stand up work. But she made a pretty good (if a largely uncritical) radio documentary about her granny, Mine Bean Ui Chribin. Which is worth a listen. I think she has also made some docs for the RTE player about modern sex in Ireland. I can't imagine her gran would be very happy about that.
Good lad, take two boiled sweets from the drum.🙄
Yeh, I got what you were on about the first time. Sigh.
Hmmmm….. next line ,dude
