Derek Mooney Show *MOD WARNING IN 1st POST*

Yakuza

The concentration camp survivor segment makes for hard listening. If there's a hell, I hope Mengele burns in it for eternity.

Brenda O'Donohoe for the World Cup panel anyone.....?

Years from now, investigators will find the remains of hundreds of dead Birds dumped in a septic tank in Derek Mooneys back garden.

Not a huge fan of Murray but he knows its light, he keeps it light, he doesn't talk down to his audience and neither do any of the stand-ins. Mooney on the other hand is all over the place, condescending - he has to have a go at the listener who complains about his tits and ignorant to anyone with a different view on all topics even the smallest of topics. His partners Brenda and the other girl (katherine?) have the worst most irritating voices for radio. ....

Certainly agree with the last paragraph.

As regards the 0905-1000 space

There's a word which rhymes with 'light' and that's how I would describe it.

But I fully understand it's only one persons opinion.

That Noel Cunningham and his silly feckin royalty stories. The last time he was on, he spoke about Diana as if they were best friends. He was probably best friends with Grace Kelly as well :rolleyes:

Given that Shay Byrne was presenting the show today, I can only presume Derek is jumping out of a cake with 10,000 candles at Harry's house right now..

Heard a lot of the show on the drive back up from Limerick today... Two points on the show:

1. That reporter from Brazil was excellent.. very knowledgeable .. A few people texted in to say how informative he was and I agree 100%.
2. I like June Rodgers.. But my god how does she get so much airtime on Mooney's show. Could they not spread around the airtime a bit, give a few up and coming comedians a chance..

I'm sure its nothing to do with having the same agent as Derek, Joe Duffy and a multitude of other RTE 'stars'.

Didn't that one of the Fitzpatrick's that was on recently hawking her book mention she also has the same agent.

The Friday Mooney Goes Wild panel; needs a bit of livening up if you ask me. Éanna Ni Lamhna can be very hard to listen to at times...

A traveller who plays golf. Unusual, but not worthy of a segment on The Mooney Show. Not half as important as the woman who never took down her Christmas decorations.

It never ceases to surprise me what is worthy of a segment on The Mooney Show.

Didn't hear it but there's nothing unusual about a traveller playing golf unless you meant a Traveller.

Anybody hear how the Mooneys tunes effort went last Friday?
Usually, he'd be on gushing about it, but I haven't heard a peep.
In fairness, I haven't been listening all the time........

I was wondering as well.. the tickets didnt sell as quick as they did previously, but I think that is just cos Mooney is going back to the well too often.. He's been off the last two weeks so nobody knows what happened on the night. Was anybody here at it?

Welsh Megaman

If Rory and Derek don't care about what the critics say, then why do they keep going on about them?

:rolleyes:

Woodville56

Just heard Rory Cowan likening Mrs Brown's Boys to some of the classic comedies ! And again he sees Brendan O'Carroll as a writer in the genre of John B Keane & GB Shaw ! How deluded is this guy !!
Classic comedy in my book was Dave Allen, Morecambe & Wise, Dads Army, Fr Ted etc etc, wouldn't classify MBB as being in the same league at all !
Again today RTE via The Mooney Show giving the MBB movie 30 minutes of free publicity, Joe Duffy did almost an hour of the same yesterday !!
Is this what taxpayers are funding RTE for ? Does RTE have a stake in the MBB franchise or something ??

sligojoek

Methinks she doth protest too much

Harry Angstrom

They have a box of Budweiser, bottles of wine and a bottle of vodka for the weekend. It's more than slimming counselling they need

Did he mention any of the classic comedies? and did he actually say John B. Keane and GB Shaw? :eek:

In discussing MBB , Rory Cowan and Derek Mooney were talking up the show in the context of other "classic comedies" a la Fr Ted, Fawlty Tower, also I think Billy Connolly, Les Dawson (can't remember the others mentioned) and also that Brendan O'Carroll could be considered to be a great writer in the same way as John B Keane & George Bernard Shaw !!!
Maybe others who listened can confirm !

Just an update from the red carpet... Myself, Harry and Welsh Megaman went down to the premiere in the Savoy tonight... Harry and WMM were stopped by Brendan O'Carroll's security who told them they werent "the right sort of people".... I, however flashed my "working class" credentials with a swift snot rocket while waiting in line and got straight in without any bother...

Drivetime started but the mikes from Derek and co were still audible. I just heard Derek saying "Did RTE not evengive you an allowance for that? Sure that's the way things are going here?" and there was more muffled chatting and the Drivetime presenter sort of hurriedly talked over them!

lol... Shur Derek's on a fortune in there ... 220k.. Cant see how he would have any right to portray RTE as being miserable... If they are being miserable to other staff members then it's only cos the top level take so much of the funding.

I'm good value for my €220k RTE salary, says Mooney

CountyHurler

The march over the weekend must have got Derek's dander up, he's calling for female escorts in The Rose Of Tralee now..

endas donkey

can this excuse for a show get any worse?

CountyHurler

It's a bit rich the Algerians complaining about the "cheating" or match fixing in the game played in 1982... Their fans shone a laser in the eyes of the Russia keeper for their goal in the 1-0 win against Russia two days ago... Surprised there was no furore about this...



FIFA fined their National Football Association 50k, but I'm sure that's little comfort to the Russian team given they should be the ones in the second round.

:eek:

Derek wants lesbians and single mothers in the Rose of Tralee. Somebody needs to tell him that it shouldn't be taken so seriously :rolleyes:

Lapin

I actually know Mooney's guest fairly well.

Colm Croffy of AOIFE

Dead sound bloke.

Although I reckon he'd like the opportunity to promote some of the other festivals on his books. But this being Mooney, it's all about the Rose of Tralee (ROT), so I reckon he has to keep within the remit of the programme.

On a side note, I remember when escorts for the ROT were mainly local lads from around Tralee. It was a great week for them on the piss and getting their mug in the paper for something other than winning football medals.

Now that the festival has become globalised the escorts are from all over the place.

I reckon there are a few honchos below in Kerry feeling out of joint since. Feckin blow ins coming in taking their jobs and women.

IvyTheTerrible

I must be weird so Brenda, I've never ever ever wanted to be a rose.

Harry Angstrom

Derek is talking about relationships between escorts and Roses. He seems to forget that Daithi O'Kerryman ended up marrying one of them. *my quota of rolling eyes has been used up*

Derek did ask Colm about his other festivals at one stage but no details were given. If Colm was not paid for his appearance I'd say it was a pretty poor deal for him.

Gonna put my un-PC hat on here, but a lot of Gayers make good talk show hosts. Look at Alan Carr, Julian Clary, Paul O'Grady, Graham Norton!
Couldn't be worse that Tubridy.
Let's start the campaign here!
As long as there is no slot for Brenda Donohoe I'd be happy.
