The Pat Kenny Show

Just because a person doesn’t like Trump (or conversely in this case Lucas), doesn’t make the other side immune from criticism.

I don’t like Trump. I also have very little time for Scott Lucas.

Both things can be true. It’s not black and white.

Stanage is excellent. I hadn’t heard of him before Dunphy started using him about 18-24 months ago in the build up to the US election. He’s popped up in lots of places since and long may it continue. He was particularly good at pointing out the shortcomings of both sides in the election, something you didn’t get on the more partisan stations - incl./esp. over here.

Donnelly isn’t bad, not a patch on Stanage but not really a fair comparison as journalism isn’t Donnelly’s main job.

Now that you mention it I don’t think I’ve ever heard McKeown on with anyone on Newstalk, let alone Kenny? I know Newstalk and TodayFM are under the same umbrella but can’t recall ever hearing her on Newstalk.

Really impossible to find impartial voices discussing certainly American politics so I find the pieces fairly predictable with little new information given .

She's usually in Matt Couper

She thinks she's a Democrat yeah.

Weather only mentioned when it happens in Dublin.

She is appalling. She was the same as Minister for Justice. She listens to nobody, no dissent is allowed, she is like a robot! All monotonous droning words. I think the A1 thing is extremely worrying and needs full and open debate from all parents and teachers.

To be honest I think AI will cause brain atrophy and is the end of human intelligence, studies will be done on this in the future but thankfully I will be dead by then.

That was hilarious. 'spoke to all of them'.

previously in 2023

Saw this on Blue sky.

Was talking to some friends, one of whom recently hired someone who when it came down to it was clueless. Turns out they'd used AI, very convincingly for the technical parts of their interviews.

I was thinking if I was setting exams or indeed interviews, I would drop in some anti-AI questions.

I’d rather have AI running education than McEntee tbh, at least AI wouldn’t accuse you of sexism or misogyny if you asked it a question, and actually give you an answer.

At least Dublin City centre is safe now thanks to her I guess….. 🙄🤣

I used to listen to Pat’s morning show when he was on Rte. Followed him over to Newstalk as he’ is, by far, in my opinion, the best presenter in Ireland. Whether it’s the move or age, he definitely gives more snippets about his personal life (wife, daughter etc.) He also expresses his personal opinions more. He is obsessed with Trump. I loved today’s little dig … when chatting about attendees at the pope’s funeral he mentioned “The President of Argentina who is something of a despot himself.” :)

He said he gets up at 5am every morning

I am 14 months now trying to find a GP, and 7 months waiting for a consultation with an ENT consultant. To "help" solve my problems, Jennifer Carrol McNeil wants to add money to peoples shopping bill.

I am taking this proposal as her unofficial resignation from politics, because it's going to achieve nothing and be unpopular with at least 70% of the voting population.

Except for problem drinkers an increase in price does not work.

All it does is take food out of the mouths of children.

And actually, this measure is not an increase in excise. No additional monies would be going to the government. It would achieve less than nothing.
