Is the Mooney show stuck on repeat?

    Honestly, I think I'm more than likely listening to the same show stuck on repeat every single day.

    Mary Byrne and Jedward conversations nearly every bloody day....

    What's all that about?

    The show is dire, its become a tribute programme to out of work Irish X-factor contestants. That bloke Brendan Kilkenny will be on next.

    Bring back Val Joyce and put him on in the afternoon.

    Yeah tuned in today in the car.. "Today we have JEDward, Mary Byrne"... every day the same... it's getting beyond a joke at this stage.

    Obviously there has been a turn towards reality for this show recently.

    Whether the producer has brought on this scene I don't know ,but it's all reality punters now.

    Total load of bollox going down that road.

    It's a dreadful show in my opinion. It's the same old slop churned out day after day. Talking about the All-Ireland Talent Show as if it's of vast cultural importance, talking of Moneygall like it's TÍr Na nÓg and generally speaking of Obama as if he's a living God, Jedward. Awful, awful slop. It might play well in homes for the bewildered where the dulcet tones of the presenters and conversations about nests, rabbits and Abba The Musical are soothing but in the real world it must drive most people mad. Sometimes it's just annoying too; recently they were jumping down the throat of some poor bloke who had the nerve to know an awful lot about nuclear energy, it didn't seem like a balanced debate.

    It never finishes on time for news either.

    The thing is, what do you do during mid afternoon. You can't do current affairs, politics and sport and the show can't just stick to nature topics. Mooney is a nice guy and a decent presenter, he just seems unsure of himself on the radio show in recent times.

    everyone knows he's a homosexual except the auld wans who squander their money on a daily flutter on "Mooney's money".

    The show has become very formulaic, at this stage anyone who's a regular listener could write the running order:

    1) Mooney does his round up and overview of todays show.
    2) Brenda gushes uncontrollably, in her usual fawning and sycophantic way, about some celebrity.
    3) Time for someone to win €1000 of Mooooney's Money (premium rate call/text scam)
    4) Mooney talks about his Blue Tits.
    5) Wildlife guest/expert spot. Recently Dublin Zoo gorilla baby.
    6) Eanna Ni Loudna interjects/corrects and tries not to sound like a know-all. She does this by prompting answers from other guests/presenters, asking questions she knows the answer to: "Does the cuckoo have it's own nest or does it borrow other birds nests?"
    7) Mooney has his strop, he doesn't like cats, thinks this is unfair, thats is bad, etc ..... he doesn't care what anyones thinks he's going to say it!
    8) Time for someone to win Mooooneys Money .....
    9) Mooney wraps up .... Goodbyeeeeee!!

    Thats another show in the can.
