The Pat Kenny Show

Healy in all next week too. O'Rourke and Kenny must be off picking lychees on a kibbutz, laughing like drains.

It does seem like O'Rourke has been away for an age. I mean even Tubridy is back at this stage.

To be ever so slightly fair, this was at least well flagged. They announced it would be a "career break" until September or so. (Or "autumn" or "after the summer", or some such form of words.)

It has been rather comical when they end up about 6-ply on the fill-in presenters, mind.

I would ask Spicer, "At what point did he realise that lying was a fundamental part of his job and why did he think that was ok?"

Second question would be whether he lied of his own volition of whether it was on the orders of Trump.

Third question would be "Are you lying now and how would we know that you aren't since you clearly accept that lying is appropriate to achieve a goal".

That'd be bound to go down well. Look at Spicer's apoplectic bluster when MO'C, hardly the rottweiler of the airwaves, asked him about his infamous "largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe"... statement. Apparently he regards it as an inexpertly executed attempt at being Jesuitical. I think most others would use the "pants of fire" category.

I do remember hearing something like that alright. He's hardly burned out from just the couple of hours a day. Or is he sick of it already. He's probably RTE's best presenter at this stage. He's just as good as Pat Kenny and has a better sense of humour.

No idea. Maybe he has a "project" on the go. Maybe he just fancied an especially long laze on a beach somewhere. But at least it was planned, and announced, if somewhat vaguely. And the choice of wording as a "career break" implies it's a one-off -- or "will only pull this stunt one year very five", perhaps -- rather than "these are my silly-season holliers from now on".

Nice Ts&Cs if you can get 'em, no mistake.

He's just as good as Pat Kenny and has a better sense of humour.

That's some very Old Testament damning with faint praise you have going on there.

Should be called "Today featuring Pat Kenny".

I hope he's back soon, just endured Jonathan and some new teacher union chief competing to be the more sanctimonious one Over to Miriam in 5... :rolleyes:

Tell me how

Good conversation between Jonathan and David McWilliams this morning on the issue relating to property ownership and housing requirements.

David always strikes me as someone who "seems" to know exactly what he is talking about and when I hear him speak part of me thinks he should be involved in policy somehow.

Then I remind myself of the experience of George Lee and Shane Ross and I realise it's easy talk the talk.....

Today, Pat Kenny resting in its account.

Pat's back next week.

That was a long long August for morning radio in Ireland.

The sort of Americans who vote for Trump don't leave the Country, so will be no impact on tourism here.

Overgeneralisation. There are plenty of country-club Republicans that will have voted for Trump, while feeling fainting embarrassed and holding their noses, but will nonetheless feel irked if they see some bunch of uppity furriners not "respecting the office". (We'll gloss over how much "respecting the office" the GOP managed from 2008-2016, say.)

I'm sure none of us could have seen that coming.

More the latter than for the former, it seems. https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/i-dont-like-admitting-this-but-i-was-starting-to-question-my-enthusiasm-37273947.html

The Trier-Koblenz cycle I had notions of doing myself, so can't blame him for that. The other seven weeks of holidays, though...

Pat back with a bang, got your woman on the ropes.

Talk jock has a go at the public services, Newstalk demographic goes wild.

You have to question the logic that says you have to pay a half-mil for this sort of business model, mind you.

Pretty much all salaries are based on points/educational status achieved, nothing got to do with having a go at pub sec.

What, they're paying Pat that because of his various honorary degrees, or something? You seem to be arguing against your own point!

?? I mean in general for most people, obviously footballers, pop stars etc don't, do you not understand that a lot of salaries are based on educational achievement/points?

What kind of loser asks a stranger from another country who they voted for.

Throw a SAD in there and that could be a Trump tweet :pac:

I saw a guy in Cork in a MAGA hat on Saturday, far too old to be doing it ironically.

Glad to see Pat back, this "in how many ways is Leo just fantastic, let's count them" is a bit vommy though, he's really softballing them.
