The Pat Kenny Show

And Pat is off on a major rant at 9.05 on a Monday morning. He is interviewing Thomas Byrne Minister of State for European Affairs.

I get his frustration but he is very unprofessional in his style of debate. He calls Trump "that guy" and just can't hide his contempt. "What do you do with a guy who doesn't get the basics?" He said Trump changed the date on tariffs in a "fit of pique" (spitting those words out!). I think it really rattles Pat Kenny's higher intellect, it's almost like a personal affront.

I don't like Thomas Byrne, he grew up locally and always came across as arrogant, but he is excellent this morning, his responses are measured and respectful and he has certainly grown into his role. He calls Trump "President Trump" every time. In a diplomatic world regardless of personal feelings you still need to deal with world leaders with respect. Pat doesn't get this.

I doubt if Trump has slightest idea who Pat Kenny is but he has been living rent free in Pats head for a long time now.

delicate ears better not tune in, as they are discussing trump

Pat plays a Trump audio clip and refers to Trump as "crackers, and getting worse"

Some posters on here are as obsessed with Pat's reactions to Trump as Pat is with Trump!

He's a powerful man, in a world power country, it's a big story that affects us all whether we like it or not - could it maybe be accepted that Pat has a particular view and we could all just listen or not without repeating every utterance from him?

He thinks he invented the word 'equalise' (or 'equalize' in the US)

If that was a family member the cars keys would have been taken away long time ago. This is a common occurrence with trump. They can pick and choose the news press who they want covering his speeches etc, but you can only hide so much. What Pat said seems entirely correct.

Did Irish listeners really need to know about this and hear a clip on it and hear Pat's mesmerising analysis about it (he's crackers - Alan Partridge stuff).

The government and institutions of power here can rest easy with the Pat Kenny programme - a worrying indictment of our media.

You can't seem to find anything to disagree with - just that posters should shut up discussing Pat Kenny in a Pat Kenny thread.

The last time Trump was in the Whitehouse, my father took to watching CNN in the evening. I renamed CNN to WDDN - What's Donald Done Now?

Anton a breath of fresh air compared to the amateur hour stuff from Pat Kenny lately.

I've been listening back to some of the podcasts from this week, because I didn't have the chance to tune in. The one about office attire, or the lack of, really got Pat going. I wonder what the dress code in Newstalk's office is? If you show up for work in jeans and a hoodie, you now know Pat's silently judging you

Ah, so Pat has something in common with Trump …… 😁
