The Tommy Tiernan Show Thread - Mod warning, see OP

The one I was told was “God’s little cow”

Someone should tell Pete Doherty that one.Surely a song in it.

I agree that he was trying to ‘crack’ Doherty a bit. That question “Are you ok with the fact that you weren’t around for your first two children?”, no one would be ok with that, it’s just an upsetting question. He initially said he didn’t want to talk about it and then recovered a bit and said he wasn’t ok with it, firing back at Tommy with a question are all your six kids with the same woman.

That bs about I knew the three year old would be a dope smoker and that Bob Dylan quote about the scars the sun can’t heal, a bit cringe, like he’s trying to score big moments or something.

I thought Doherty himself was actually fine and self aware and open.

Anyway glad the programme is back.

Could of sworn Irvine Welsh was on it before

"Seriously, who would you like to see?"

Ryan Tubridy. Tommy could allocate a whole episode to him. It'll never happen but that's my dream guest.

Yeah hard to know if people are just being contrary, considering Doherty spent the best part of a decade making the papers for all the wrong reasons.

Then Trainspotting are there people about who seriously haven't watched or at least heard of the film?

I've "born slippy" ear worm now!

Let's be honest, Pete Doherty is an average enough musician, who is more famous for non-music related issues.

He is often thrown about as some sort of genius when it came to songwriting. A bit like Damon Albarn, who I'd say is much more talented than Doherty, even though I'm no fan of Albarn.

But he had basically one well reviewed album with a few memorable songs. Outside of that, he was always in the spotlight because of who he was dating or what drugs he was under the influence of. Basically all hype with little to back it up.

I watched the Louis Theroux doc with him. It was a boring watch. He came across as a right bore, who obviously has ideas way above his station.

I didn't see the interview with TT, because I've kinda gone off his show of late, as TT is also heading that way too. Thinks he's some kind of deep thinker and philosopher now.

You've never heard of Trainspotting?

I looked up the blackcurrent Inis Meáin festival that the third guest  (Aedín Ní Thiarnaigh) was on about -

Article from 2023 -

"Puiteachaí" is not spelt like thought it would be at all. - obviously the "p" is silent.

It was funny last night how the order of guests gradually went from beaten and battered by life (Doherty), world weary (Welsh), to out and enthusiasm and positivity (Ní Thiarnaigh). The guest order was like that for a reason, end on a nice tone.
