Film isn't as good as the story to be honest but it is worth a watch

That was a really enjoyable story, loved how she was allowed to tell it without interruption which some other RTE types would be only to willing to do and drag the story away from the story teller.

It was brilliant.

When there was silence, Tiernan didn't interject to fill the space or coax things along, which made it all the more compelling.

He looks completely dejunkified, fair play.

Anyone who watched the film would have background info. And he said he'd watched it, just like thousands and thousands of other Irish people.
Great film by the way!

I’m so late to the thread. What is the film?

DJIMI TRARORE

Aaah, the misery slotðŸ˜

Molly's Game I think

Even this show's human interest interviews are better. Tubridy would mangle this interview too.

Thats the second guest on tonight that mentioned their reverance of Tommy. And there have been others this season.

Which goes to show the esteem he is held in.

No-one admires Tubridy

Great guest, Tommy let her speak too without asking her about deaths in her family going back to the famine era.

It's absolutely stark just looking at it.

I mean, it actually stands out to have a guest a) be allowed to tell their story without being interrupted, and b) not have the story dragged into misery.

Maybe I missed it, but when she said a mob fella beat her up and put a gun in her mouth, did Tommy remember to ask her "How did that make you feel?"

castletownman

That is an amazing question.

May sound like he's making light of the situation but he is actually opening up the interviewee.

Imagine Tubridy asking an ex-addict if their time on drugs was good craic.

Good looking bloke...

Fascinating stuff :-)

She was speaking at Pendulum summit, must have been recorded then

Don't think he's famous now, just a human interest story. An ex heroin addict.

He speaks very well on it. Talking about how it was great craic, but then it wasn't. Wonder how quickly it turned.

DJIMI TRARORE

Very healthy looking for an ex junkie, fair play to him, looks like he copped on to himself just in time

Great speaker and delivery. Many of us could not narrate our lives as well as this man.

castletownman

'Thats when the trouble started....'

Haha.

Wheety

Fair play to this fella. This room just got a little dusty here when he said about qualifying with a Masters.

jojofizzio

Feckin he’ll....talk about turning your life around....fair feckin play to him...

zweton

Wow!

castletownman

Tommy's emotion says it all.

Absolutely cracking interview.

Wheety

Tommy showing great emotion there. I hope he's never offered the LLS. This is much better.

RobertKK

Tommy Tiernan has great empathy with his guests, it doesn't come as fake either.

I know, someone was definitely cutting onions near to me too.

Gods Gift

Was he on with D’Arcy last week?

Utopia Parkway

Tommy is a great listener. He gives the guest space to speak. Tubridy would be interjecting every 10 seconds and hurrying to get the interview done.

Atlantic Dawn

Fair play to this lad coming on and going through his hard times so openly and turning his life around, I hope he goes onwards and upwards. Tubs would have asked what colour were the needles.

Pearlstone

This guy is amazing.
