The Pat Kenny Show

LiamoSail

He interviewed Sting today who declared "I'm an eternal student, and always will be"

Trumps advertising his hotel on the show again.

Always cracks me up. Now THAT'S trolling.

Yes, because Donald obviously personally dictates the placement of ads for one of his minor properties on minor radio station thousands of miles from anywhere he cares about.

Or, more likely, the marketing guy at Doonbeg couldn't give a **** about the editorial tone of whatever show s/he decides works out as the best advertising spend in terms of cost and audience...

Trump is such a pathetic excuse for a human being that I wouldn't put it past him to take such a petty interest in Doonbeg.

Jaysus, you're probably right. Though he'd be more likely to directly attack shows on Twitter if he was aware of them. That'd be some crack! Imagine Sean dealing with an abusive Trump tweet!

There's ads for it across the whole day on Newstalk, they're not targeted at Pat Kenny.

You couldn't make it up - Jess Kelly the Tech 'expert' learns that mobile phones are a potential health disaster. Has she been under a rock for the last decade? She and Pat move swiftly on. :rolleyes:

I generally like Jess Kelly and have taken her advice a number of times and have been happy with products.
But this morning wasn't her best. I didn't know you could use wi-fi in aeroplane mode either, but I'm no tech expert.
Every day's a School day, even for the experts.

I explained the airplane mode WiFi thing to a colleague recently and his response was “but airplane mode only works when you’re in a plane, doesn’t it?”. :rolleyes:

Agreed though, she was poor this morning.

I assume it's because the term 'pro-life' implies that all those who do not agree with their stance are anti-life, which is untrue. Pro-choice means exactly what it says:- supporting the freedom to choose. I think someone suggested that a more accurate term for the 'pro-life' side would be 'anti-choice'.

Also, many of those who self identify as 'pro life' are simultaneously in favour of stuff like the death penalty, especially in the States.

Pro-chance at life.

If you fook it up further down the line then there has to be repercussions.

Probably the softest of all the interviews that Halawa has had. This interview makes Tubridy's interview look like the Spanish Inquisition.

jooksavage

Why do people keep slavishly listening to all his interviews? Those commenting the most clearly had an unshakeable opinion while he was still languishing in prison.

Because they want to keep up to date with the lies and half truths told by Halawa and his supporters with the craven connivance of the mainstream Irish media. Pat Kenny used to be a balanced interviewer not a facilitator of deception.

anthonyjmaher

Slagging his hair now Pat? Really?
Could you imagine if somebody started slagging Pat about his big belly. Presumably that would be just considered immature.

The councillor on this morning talking about the flood wall in Clontarf was hilarious. He had no clue what he was talking about. He waffled on about the bay being the only Capital City based Biosphere in Europe. When Pat asked him what a biosphere was there was seconds of silence followed by some ehhing and ahhing and then he said it was a place where orgasms (yes that's what he said) could live. He was then asked about flooding and the fact that if the park was being used as a flood plain then surely the road would flood as well, as it's between the sea and the park. No says he, why not says Pat, because it's engineered not to flood......how so asks Pat.....because its engineered not to flood says he...... Pat backed off early in the interview as it was obvious the guy had no idea what he was talking about. He actually made Dermot Lacey sound reasonable, which is quite an achievement considering how big of a tool he is.

Will Joe be able to stay away from local hot topic de sea wall of Clontarf today so to speak? Not that he has a vested interest or anything.....plus he could humblebrag and “subtly” mention his wunderful, fantastic rescue of de woman trapped behind de wall of death dat is de wall

Speaking of which, it was being discussed on Pat Kenny this morning. Pat asked some local councillor what a biosphere was (as de councillor brought it up) and said councillor obviously hadn’t done any prep on this as he paused for a long time before saying “it’s a collection of orgasms....organisms” This was followed by a giggle from someone - but I don’t think it was Pat to be fair. Whoever he was he was woefully unprepared. He also couldn’t explain how the sea water got to the park if there was a flood - he just kept saying “it’s engineered that way”.

^^It's well worth a listen back. Pat definitely backed off realising this guy wasn't informed/intelligent.
But when he was saying that in parts the wall has to come down a foot and in other parts it has to be raised, who's responsible for that? Was any of the wall implemented correctly?
I live around there and that work has been going on for ages. Ages doing all the wrong work?
I think Pat should revisit this mess of a story.

He said that it's currently violating planning and parts of it were done wrong, but it hasn't received any kind of inspection / certification check because it's not yet finished so therefore no one is responsible for doing it wrong as it currently stands...or something.

No one can be held accountable for the extra 300k+ it will take to rectify it.

Country is run by clowns. And either the public are clowns for voting them in, or only clowns run for these positions.

Maybe the Internet should be run like Newstalk, Pat. No free speech at all.

If you have fixed prices on houses that had to sell for that exact price, surely that would always be to the benefit of the buyer who has the capital up front.

Same councillor was on The Last Word later the same day and had done a bit more research before 5:30 at least. Wasn't much better overall, but was at least more authoritative in the delivery of his comments to Matt Cooper and Matt didn't press him too hard on things. Had he (or any of the researchers) heard the interview with PK he'd have had plenty of open goals to shoot at.........

Ciaran Cuff (Greens) was also on and sounded like Einstein compared to the other councillor (I've forgotten his name already he was so bland).

Matt needs a change (or less work). Sounds bored these days, also suffering from the unthinking PC disease. If there was such a thing as a PC mosquito .

There was an increased "demand" for betting on Trump. i.e. the poor addicts that these b*stards prey on needed something a bit more enticing than the cartoon horses that they normally waste their money on.

You could even hear that the chap himself was embarrassed by the childish "penis enhancement" bets that they offer as well. Like a porn star who had just walked in to studio and found provocative images of herself pasted all over the wall.
