The Late Late Show - 15th. January 2015

Ol' Donie

Was listening to his show when he announced that. Was shocked, felt terrible for him.

ProudDUB

10.45 and we're only having the first mention of cancer/death now. (Phoney deaths on EastEnders don't count.) That has to be a record, hasn't it?

Lisha

I like Bobby. His daughter looked upset, a nasty experience for any family

murpho999

MOT? Has never heard of the NCT?

Welsh Megaman

Cancer been working overtime this last week :mad:

Atlantic Dawn

Jaysus Ryan the man is upbeat about it and your trying your best to depress him.

"Tell me where you went in your head when the doctor told you those awful words, Bobby. And please, if you want to cry, please do. Are you going to cry, Bobby? You know, about your cancer."

I'm genuinely delighted to see him looking fit and well. Fair play to him

He strikes me as a decent fella. Delighted for him.

Ally Dick

I remember seeing my father's uncle dying of cancer over forty years ago. It haunts me still

I'm not a fan of Tubridy, but he is interviewing about cancer, and by asking these questions he gives a guest like Bobby Kerr to show how positive he is.

That's such an accurate representation of what goes thru Tubs mind during these kinds of interviews, it's almost funny.

It's mad how we still haven't found a cure after all these years.

Atlantic Dawn

Sounds like a full reboot for him, he's all fired up and back.

Vorenus400

I am starting to think the table is there to stop Ryan showing his obvious excitement at peoples sickness and grief.

Ol' Donie

Very impressed by Bobby here.

Very impressed.

No wallowing for me, lads. I know what's important.

dublinman1990

Bobby looks great after his illness. Fair play to him for going through horrible disease and for having a great positive outlook on life.

That's because cancer is a normal thing for cells to want to do, as wild as that sounds

But isn't Bobby on the way to being cured?

You are missing the point. Tubs has someone on every week talking about death/dying/cancer/suicide/incurable illnesses etc etc. And he handles them all terribly. Which then lessens the message of what is guest is trying to convey, which is a terrible shame.

trash cliche

Yes. But it takes 5 years to get the complete all clear

screamer

Shame look at that photo of him poor fella. I don't like tubs I hate his insincerity and condescending attitude in interviews like this.

Hitchens

does anyone ever refuse the treatment at all I wonder?

GERMAN ROCKS

Although I was cured. Ten years in the clear now T.G.

Happyman42

So many young people looking bored senseless in the audience. When I was that age the very last place on a Friday night I would wanna be would be at the Late Late Show

Atlantic Dawn

Yes it's back soon on RTÉ.

delaad

Let's be honest, Tubs should have been a Redemtorist!

murpho999

Annoying how RTE bring religion into everything.

Don't ask why God let them get cancer in the first place.

Atlantic Dawn

I will listen in tomorrow to his show.

Still doesn't mean it's not cured.

Yeah, but it's still killing people. I'm not saying it's easy or anything, just with the advances in science we're still looking for cures. Maybe we will one day, maybe the pharmacutical companies don't want us to (tin foil hat), it's just an awful awful disease.

Exactly!

Ol' Donie

Here's a fun thing to try. Buy a muffin from Insomnia.

Put it on a stack of paper (in it's paper bag, it doesn't matter), then go away for a few days.

Come back, and count the layers of paper through which the grease has seeped, and count how many edges of the paper the grease has touched.

Did that in work once, left it there for the weekend. Haven't even considered buying one since.

Atlantic Dawn

First the bank goes, then the post office goes, then the pub goes, then it's gone.

PeterTheEighth

We've all been through tough times alright. Tubridy is now down to only 7 hours work a week, and only getting 750k for it.

Skid X

If I won the Lotto I still wouldn't go near coffee shops.

Mug of tea in the canteen or at home. Maybe a Kitkat. That'll do me grand.

Did you keep the job?

screamer

Cancer is a disease of aging so the longer we live the more likely we are to get it and the more people will get it. It's a horrible horrible disease and fair play to people for sharing their stories to raise awareness.

squadro

Mmmmmm muffin grease.

delaad

Imagine follks standing around in a Garda Station shooting the breeze!!!

Hitchens

is it true that everyone has some type of cancer anyway, bumps on the skin, warts etc?

BabysCoffee

Oh great, it's Chloe

Atlantic Dawn

Twink is looking well.

PeterTheEighth

she's also performed for the last three presidents, as opposed to Monica Lewinsky who only performed for one.

Oh god dont do this to Don McLean's song. Dear god.

Skid X

Vincent - a song about suicide and depression.

Lovely stuff.

Why would need to win the lotto to buy a coffee?

Berserker

She looks like Twink.

Ol' Donie

Rubbish tune.

Still, been a few minutes since we had a cover on the show.
