Derek Mooney Show *MOD WARNING IN 1st POST*

recipio

:cool: Some of Mooneys throw away lines are so stupid I wonder if he is taking the p##s. He believes in the reptile /human genetic combination millions of years ago ( must be in touch with Tom Cruise and John Travolta )
He had an American contributer on today who asked 'what you need in New York'
Mooney rattles off a facetious list of smart ass answers.We just wanted the answer. Derek, get your head out of your ass and listen to your guests.

My god.. Another one of Mooney's resident geniuses talking nonsense.. Oliver Stone ADMITS that a lot of JFK is conjecture, and some of the scenes are playing out what MAY have happened.. But the core point of his movie is that Oswald could not and did not carry the shooting..

With regard to 9/11, he focuses the entire segment on one of the very least believed theories i.e. that the planes were carrying bombs on their bellies. He could have spoken to anybody from the movement of over 1000 Architects & Engineers For 9/11 Truth who have done serious testing on the collapses of the three buildings.. And they have serious questions about the official 9/11 Commission Report..

And he cites a movie as an example of a conspiracy about the flouridation of water... Very poor, badly researched topic.. Olan McGowan is a poor contributor in general.

It was quite appalling really. In fact he used movie clips for all conspiracies. Apart from David Icke. As you point out it was poorly researched.

Terrible segment.

Why was I ever under the impression that Derek Mooney was interested in stuff, and was actually quite smart. Was it because of Echo Island and Mooney goes wild, where, now I think of it, he was always accompanied by 'experts'.

Most of his knowledge of stuff seems to come from movies. Ochams Razor has been referenced in numerous forms in pop culture, such as Mr Spock in Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes and House MD. He must have very specific interests never to have run into it before.

As for the conspiracies, well, I missed some of it, but the 9/11 one was particularly bad. There is a lot of stuff on the internet that would make you 'hmmm'. And there is a lot of real engineers who have major issues with the report. Instead of looking at some of the conspiracy theories with anything like an open mind, they started with the moon landings were faked, and ended with the lizard people, as if to say, anyone who thinks that what the media feeds us is not entirely true, is absolutely nuts.

Rule of 3(pm), turn off Mooney? Might just do that. It wouldn't be too hard to come across as smart after the ramblings of Liveline. But oh well.

The fact that a sizable chunk of Derek Mooneys show is taken up by the likes of x factor, Jedward, the eurovision and other programmes of its kind would have you believe that Derek Mooney is anything but smart.


The 9\11 "conspiracy" is not as ludicrous as this segment would have you believe. Whether you subscribe to it or not is another matter but some of the points raised by people who believe in the conspiracy are actually quite reasonable.

Yep, already proving he's right up there with the nutjobs on this subject.

Stayed tuned in for his unique take on the moon landings, the movie "Capricorn One" being his inspiration, afaik.:rolleyes:

When you say nutjobs do you mean people who subscribe to these conspiracies?

Well I think that is the problem though... every separate event is lumped in with the next one and all are labelled "conspiracy" .. And the assumption is then made that because you have a few unanswered questions about the JFK assassination, then you can extrapolate from this that you also believe that man did not land on the moon but that aliens certainly did land in Roswell...

It's kind of funny, because to believe the Warren Commission and the 9/11 Commission reports, you have to suspend the laws of physics (i.e. so that you can accept the magic bullet theory, and symmetric collapse of Building 7, respectively).. The real conspiracy is that people collaborated to force these lies on the American people ... Christ I'm starting to sound like Jim Garrison now... (or more worryingly, Jim Corr :eek:)

How appetizing

he mentions some aspect of the robins life every and folks like it. its interesting and compensates for when the show is off the wall. i would rather hear about the robins toilet habits than womens, which he also discussed and I really did not want to know about.

Last year, Delboy Mooney sent Eric Dempsey out to a fella's house who had a nest in his back garden. It was touch and go whether the chicks would survive.

I found Eric Dempeys advice to the homeowner amusing.

homeowner: "so what do you think will happen?"

Eric Dempsey: "well you'll have to wait and Pray"

homeowner: "Pray?"

ED: "Yes, pray!"

Not unless they subscribe blindly to all of them..... put it this way, I wouldn't deny some conspiracy theories may have an element of substance to them, for instance the Kennedy one - which in reality amounts to little more than who actually fired the shots/ordered the assassination, didn't alter the fact that he was killed. Similarly perhaps one theory doing the rounds of the 9/11 story which would make sense would be that United flight 93 was shot down by fighter jets before it could strike The White House/Capitol - something the gov't could never admit to.

However it seems Mooney wants to go down the David Icke and Jim Corr route and subscribes to all conspiracy theories, including the Reptile People, 9/11 pilotless Israeli planes hitting the Towers, the notion that tens of thousands of NASA workers, among others, managed to fake so many moon landings and who knows what else.

Once he gets into the subject, Derek does seem to like talking about seamen a lot. :rolleyes:

Would he not rather keep the memory of the small thin blonde. Because 36 years later she is probably a lot different.

listening to him chatting with the 12 year old was classic Partridge Mooney.

DM: do you play rugby?
Kid: no
DM: do you play football?
Kid: no

DM: ...do you row? do you like a good aul row?
more silence, kid utterly confused now.

Pat Kenny gets called the plank but at least he has interview skills.

Eanna's up, lets see how much spoofology and condescension we can get out of her today...

Edit - 30 seconds in and already with the circle jerking and self-aggrandizement.

I have detected a nasty streak in her, for sure. She sounds like she's waiting to pounce on someone else's mistake, so she can correct them in the most patronising tone possible. And God help anyone who picks up on anything she says as wrong - if she is wrong, she backpedals faster than light, otherwise she has a whole new level of vitriol to unleash on anyone around.

So, she (Eanna) has been chosen as Ireland's 96th most influential person. And gets to tell us how great she is, yet again.

well, that's according to VB's rag 'The Village', which reminds me, must get some toilet paper.

Time for Moncreiff.

i cant remember the day, but there was an expert on from England, I think by phone line, he corrected her on a matter and made a fool out of her

she tried to back peddle but he still stuck it to her

would love to get the podcast

when he went off the line she continued to try and back track

it was the best Mooney show ever

On a hunch, I youtubed "Eanna mooney" and got a hit (can't link it from here) with Oliver Callan pretending to be Joe Duffy, calling into the Mooney show. Well worth a listen. She's completely taken in, and (nastily) correcting the bogus facts "Joe" is calling in.

Just noticed it was uploaded by Johnathananon - I guess the one and the same of these boards?

Aengus Mcanally obviously went to the same school of interviewing and presenting as Joe did. This segment would be interesting if either A I had seen Dragons Den or B he had asked yer man to describe what the yoke looks like. But he didnt bother.
