Breakfast Republic on 2fm thread

channelsurfer2

didnt even bother listening...not worth the effort to be annoyed by such muck anymore. back to Ian Dempsey.

jezzer

rapidly switched the station this morning, no more 2fm for me for a while

Ash.J.Williams

this is damning stuff

calendarqueen

I switched within the first few minutes when Bernard started slagging Keith about planning on going away at the weekend to "get off" with someone behind his wifes back.

#nightmareradioshow

Listened to Ian Dempsey even though I really enjoy his show, its better than listening to that muck.

Really enjoyed Will last week - he is a professional radio DJ and is so enjoyable to listen to.

I used to love his evening show. Can't listen to Colm Hayes either in his new slot. Some of the stuff he comes out with is outrageous! And he can be rude/condescending and just down right stupid at times.

The only reason I tune into 2fm now is for Tubridy.

All 3 with the same plans?

Not quite but it's quite possible Jennifer and Bernard only have a certain time frame to take holidays with the republic of telly work they do, that coupled with station competitions it narrows the time they can take off, so if the two of them are on holiday it makes sense to just have keith take the other and replace them for a week.

Mr Steak

At least they can now have a good run and build up listenership

jezzer

colm hayes is a gerry ryan wannabe thats all and it never worked for him, tubridy, are you serious??? on tubridy, i'm no fan of his but i thought what jonah hill did to him on the late late was wrong and very rude, he is an ass anyway, a b lister actor is ever there was one

ButtersSuki

I gave it a few mins trial after the 8 o'clock news this morning. They had Paddy from Cork on to talk about things for Kanye and Kim to do in Cork. Paddy was about 8 years of age I'd say. It was just awful. He was talking about Fota at one stage and Jen said she was in "Fote" (no "a") once..... They could sense that the segment was dying quickly and tried to usher young Paddy away but he wasn't having any of it and stayed much longer than they expected - or wanted. It was just cringeworthy and embarrassing.

you're saying you or i could write an internationally profitable script for hollywood and his nominations are typical of a B lister?

jezzer

absolutely, why not?

Ash.J.Williams

but then we'd be A listers? and then i'd probably develop a coke habit....and don;t even think about how we'd handle all the women

That plan's been fucked since Jump Street.

b lister at best like hill, not so easy to become a b lister, anyway its all pure luck not much else

Diabhal Beag

I think jezzer and Ash.J.Williams are terribly over-rated tbh. Anybody could write better screenplays. Haven't done anything of note since those 3 guys got a breakfast show.

jezzer

lol

i had to listen to a few mins of Ronan Keating this morning in case i missed a joke ....wasn't sure what was happening....it was a ronan keating song with bernard talking in the background.....apparently in his jocks...and i can log into 2fm website today if i want to see pictures of same....

No that's not good radio

calendarqueen

I do like Tubridy on the radio I Have to admit. Not on telly though.

That guy was so rude on Friday night. No need for it. It was like he didn't have the cop on to identify inappropriate comments before they came out of his mouth. Thought TUbridy handled it fairly well though considering!

No way.....the guy from superbad? the guy from "this is the end?" the guy from 21 and 22 jump street? he said something inappropriate? really? no way!

he said "you look nervous" and irelands paxman melted....

jezzer

yea, well in fairness tubridy is terrible in the interviewer position, he basically cant handle interviews, but i thought it was uncalled for, there is no excuse for rudeness, i know tubbers does look nervous and is always fidgety but there is no need to mention it, we all know he shouldnt be there but thats his own problem

Well actually Jonah Hill came out of it looking worse than Tubridy IMO.

when he got the late late job

An RTE spokesperson told the Herald this morning: "It's understandable that Ian Dempsey and Today FM would be worried about the new 2fm morning schedule.
"With Hector at 7, Ryan at 9 and Colm at 11, we have a really strong and exciting alternative for morning listeners."

Bringing his weight into it is harsh. Remember, he was on the Late Late to promote a film, he's done many interviews and saw an opportunity to generate a little extra discourse about the film. Guess what its worked, 6 days on from another largely forgettable run of the mill celeb interview we're still talking about the interview and more people will go see 22 Jump street as an indirect result.

HA! that looks so funny now!!!

people will go to see 22 jump street because jonah hill said tubbers looked nervous??? i dont know about that

in terms of the weight thing, i only said that because i dont think it was right to bring tubbers nervous disposition into it either

and in terms of him being successful creator/actor that is debatable, most of his films are crap and he just plays the dopey looking overweight kid who is a bit of an ass, he is well down the pecking order in h'wood and very one dimensional

ibarelycare

Still far more talented, successful and likeable than Ryan Tubridy.

jezzer

well i cant and wont disagree with that

jezzer

tubbers had eyes on the UK but it never worked out for him at all, they are a little too clever for him over there plus he hasn't the family connections to get him in the door either...

it's not a nervous dispostion....he's not able to interview people, and he's our nations no1 interviewer on around .5m per year at least

buckfasterer

If Tubs was a good interviewer, he wouldn't be nervous. That's the long and short of it. Did Norton have the same problem when the guys were on later in the week? Nope.


Anyway, less of the thread derailment. I haven't listened to the muck this week. Couldn't take the fall in quality after Will last week. Has their weeks holidays done them any good? Or is it still ****e?

jezzer

yes, you both are absolutely correct regarding tubbers, if he was good enough he wouldnt be nervous, nepotism is still a massive problem here in ireland

nope, the morning show is still terrible...

redbuck

Heard this for the first time this morning in the car on the way to work. Lasted about seven minutes before I had to change the channel it was appalling. Yer one Jen was the most annoying going on about her wedding I presume in Castle Leslie. Maybe the show would be an improvement with just the two lads.

jezzer

yea i think your right the 2 lads would be better

Squawky

This awful ! How's it allowed ?????!

I was in a taxi from the airport this morning after being on a very early flight into Dublin this morning and heard an absolutely awful exam/classroom sketch where Jen was the teacher and Bernard and Keith were the "bold boys" at the back of the class. Honestly it was one of the worst sketches I've heard on national radio - ever. It was just forced, so badly acted, full of cliches and stereotyping and just patently unfunny. If transition year students wrote this for a school play they'd get beaten up by their classmates for being tools. I asked the taxi driver "do you find this funny?". He said it's just noise to him anymore and promptly switched the radio off. Good call.

The sketch I refer to was so bad I think you should actually go to the podcast and listen to see for yourselves. These 3 clowns are getting paid for this crap. I used to defend Keith, I can't after today.

I'm just listened to it there.

I did try and warn you.....sorry!

maxwell smart

Have to say the bangkok jokes were pretty cringy!

But, (nearly said 'on the whole' there, but enough of that sort of stuff), generally, the show is getting better.

There is not so much of the 3 of them shouting over each other. Keith obviously is the ringmaster in this circus and has now got a whip and a chair in operation. Jennifer needs a gag (no, not as in a joke, but that would help) which should onl be removed for 10-15 second intervals.

Otherwise, I sense a bit of hope for the show.

Diabhal Beag

Listening now. So far we're building up to a cartwheel on radio and Jennifer "Jenny" Maguire's da has some tips for Laois after they lost to All-Ireland Champions Dublin. Dunno why they get so much hate tbh.

This is my personal Grizzly Man documentary.

Diabhal Beag

Not their fault at all but there was a proper Partridge moment where they were having a bit of craic at the expense of Laois and immediately cut to the news about vigils being held for the bodies in Tuam. Just extremely unfortunate timing.
