The Late Late Show 29/03/19

AllForIt

Another dose of depression, phew. I was actually having withdrawal symptoms since the opening segment and all that unnecessary frivolity but right back on track now.

Skid X

What is to be gained by this mawkish section?

It's a tragedy when people die young.

Discussing their deaths in detail is not going to enlighten anyone.

Marengo

I was playing tag rugby once and a girl went to grab a fellas tag put misjudged and grabbed something else.

He couldn't play on!

Ol' Donie

Honestly, what the hell is this?

An actual segment about a series of unrelated deaths.

That's all this is.

TheRiverman

Car crash,cancer and more cancer.

His knee? :pac:

Ol' Donie

You don't want to be the one with the saddest story.

Gunge time.

He got a right pull..

Ol' Donie

Hi Ryan.

I was really enjoying my time with the Late Late thread, until it suddenly died because of another f*ckin misery section.

Would you like to know how I feel about it?

:D

The smell of grief? :rolleyes:

Marengo

What would you call 3 X misery?

A Mega Misery Mix?

(Nothing to do with WMega Man!)

Ol' Donie

So, let me get this right.

None of you liked this experience?

We all tended to him tenderly as he grimaced on the ground.. Magic sponge applied.

I'm speechless! So much potential!

Perhaps a red chair that flips backwards after someone tells a bad story oh wait

AllForIt

It's this thing that ppl seem to want to make you suffer about things you might never suffer. Going into all of the emotional details of it. I'm not following this at all and not getting emotionally involved in it. I have my own f*cking problems thanks.

Skid X

No offence intended

Gen.Zhukov

All this as D.4orbes hoovers down the last of the truffles followed by a gulp of 1996 Dom Perignon Rose Gold Methuselah.

"Fcuk them, I know Leo" she was heard to say, as her party giggled uncontrollably.

Marengo

LLS producers...

'Any ideas for misery?

Yeah get 3 young people who's partners died?

Agree, that'll work, if that doesn't make the licence payer happy, what will?'.

It's just bizarre. It's like the producers are just taking the piss at this stage.

"let's do a special misery slot tonight, one lung cancer, one liver cancer and the other car accident" (not sure those are them, I'm half listening). Triple the misery.

This does nothing but make me feel sad for these people.

That is literally of no benefit whatsoever to anyone.

What is the point of this?

Skid X

Ryan Tubridy is now pointing out to the bereaved that the death of a parent is difficult for young children.




Who knew?

They could set up a gunge tank for people whose stories aren't miserable enough.

e.g. So your cancer hasnt spread to your vital organs? It's curable, you say!? *** SPLAAAASH******

RCK1

The sad tragic interview is always last so is inevitably followed straight away by the phone call to the person who won the large prize. Very bad timing. The late late has always had a mix of serious and light topics which makes it interesting but the sad ones are a bit too much for a Friday night

Ol' Donie

So you all found it very hard. Check. Great.

How 'bout the kids? They find it hard?

Brillant. Your one who was splashed had the most irritating accent

There is no benefit, we all have people close to us die. We have enough going on in our lives without needing to know the misery of strangers for the sake of them sharing their misery with no real purpose to it.
I mean I don't see anyone benefiting from this.

Can I just say 'Not Cark' now, and be done with?

Wasn't there a time when they always had a comedian last? Did I imagine that?

Why, oh, why don't they finish on something fun? It's really starting to wreck my head, because it has to be deliberate. Why, I don't know.

Widow.ie, lol.

Skid X

Did Aldo and Jase get this long?

Ol' Donie

Are you too close to sadness to feel hope?

Are you taking the piss now, Ryan? Are you joking at this stage?

Ash.J.Williams

you need the odd underground band on to shake things up

i recall:
pop will eat itself - unreal, gaybo thought they were gob****es
Therapy were to play a single but played "knives"
Gary moore played his hit over the hills and far away and blew the heads off the crowd!

The KLF were awesome on discussing the burning of 1m quid


i saw a brilliant clip of another former guest Oliver reed on richard and judy and he was locked, but richard was being a little condecending but julie was loving it, at one point Oliver paused and said to Richard...."ahhhhh see that?....i just pulled your missus"

Ol' Donie

Coming up next, we cram 900,000 people who's partners didn't die young onto the couch to see how it made them feel.

Bunny Colvin

What song did Damo perform?

Yes, thank you for twenty minutes of filler.

Is that the third or fourth week in a row that Dublin have won?

NOT CARK!

Yes with grief it's when you accept this and you look around at those many people in the same boat that you begin to heal, hard process but reality is best.

Atlantic Dawn

'An Ollie Murs sandwich', if that was directed at a female, BO'C would be finished.

Move D'Arse to the LLS and he'll rejuvenate the show. Bring a bit of gravitas

Yes they did as the comedian would usauly have a bit of banter of the winners reactions(or lack of). It would make sense to finish on a high or at least bit of a laugh. You can tell how good the guest list the shows going to have by how early Ryan mentions it on the radio show.

Exactly. If there was some reason to alert the public to a particular issue, where in doing so society might be able to help in some way, then fine.

But I don't see here there is any particular issue that needs to be addressed by society. We already have psychologists to help ppl who can't cope with a loss. It's not like having to deal with a personal loss is new thing.
