Good point actually. The 'Good Friday' thing has kind of gone from one extreme to the other. Being all pervasive, pubs shut, had to eat fish etc. To being ignored entirely. The first thing I now think of when 'Good Friday' is mentioned, is 'The Good Friday Agreement'. If am being honest.

My mother would be the same as your Dad. She would not be extremely religious. But she would still never eat meat on Good Friday and would mention that Good Friday is coming up etc.

And do you recall the same argument every year over what constituted a collation?

Fasting and abstinence, one full meal and two collations.

I didn't know that one now - 'collations'. I looked it up being on the go since after the 14th century.

I am learning loads from this thread bacchus one day, and collations the next!

Now I will have to drop 'collations' into conversation casually with the parents to see how they react.

Further to the argument regarding alleged sponsorship of Ryan Tubridy Show by Petfix I can now bring clarity to the issue by quoting from their response to my email...

No, we do not sponsor the show, but you may have heard us mentioned in the Kids Know Pets Quiz on the show this week as we provided the prizes.

I have a lot of Galway cousins so I knew that sin straight away. I even shouted McDonalds? Ryan has no clue! He must have no Galway relations and was never told of the wonders of the curry chips.

Think it was Donagh's he mentioned for their famous fish and chips and not Mc Donald's.

Just to clarify, I wasn’t arguing. I politely asked a perfectly valid question, only to be treated to a series of curt replies from a poster who insisted they sponsored the show.

I think it was a valid question, and I thought the response was rude and dismissive and I think had it been a different poster. A warning would of been issued.

Ah you're grand I took it in the spirit it was meant.
I actually looked up the spelling of it in an edit and forgot I meant to write 'Bacchus' twice. I didn't correct the second one after you highlighted, because I thought it was funnier that way.

I know nothing about wines or any of that craic, completely wasted on me. Sure I am sipping on a pint of Guinness now, ating me dinner.

To think though that young lad has 'Bacchus' as his middle name for life. Although in the circles he is likely to mix in when he is older. I assume it won't be an issue.

Great. Now that concerns about NK management scratching one another's back has been cleared up perhaps we can get on with discussing the programme.

It would be cool if we all just agreed not to drag kids in this forum. There's plenty of material on the host, and this is supposed to be the serious thread anyway.

Something deeply wrong about going after kids.

Moving on, as someone else noted, Ryan excels as a broadcaster when he's around children. He has a knack for speaking to them at their level without condescending to them. I think he'd be great just interviewing kids as a full radio gig.

That is the round about way how I ended up starting this thread. Because I caught a bit of Tubridy on radio now and again. Plus it was coming up to the Toy Show time (which I always enjoy - I don't watch anything else on the late late). So I started listening to the radio programme a bit more to hear updates and the likes.

I always thought Tubridy was the best of Byrne and Kenny when it came to the Toy Show. Great for getting chat out of them. Not afraid to act the eejit.

It was on here I noticed there was nowhere to properly discuss the content of any of the Tubridy radio stuff, as a result of my Toy Show interest.

Tubridy doesn't get it right 100% of the time with the kids chat. But he really tries hard to listen to them and make it amusing for them. Thinks on his feet.

He was good with that little Cork girl today. Got a few laughs out her, and put her at ease.

Terry Prone is in on this too. They're all in on it, dishing out free favours like the freemasons. Or they're just sponsors.

Honestly lads, I dont think there is anything to expose here. Maybe discuss the show.

You could apologise for your repeated and incorrect assertion that Petflix were sponsors of the show. And for your completely unnecessary curt, rude, and confrontational replies.

Back on topic of the show, anyone fancy their chances of getting onto it as a guest caller?

Not a hope I'd say Cat, unless thoroughly vetted and a friend of the show, or NK.

On another note, I see no one has bothered to demod you yet-still time to change your mind

Did you hear his interview with Brent Pope?

It was pre-recorded, but still. It was one of those moments where you stay sitting in the carpark of some Lidl just to hear the exchange.

The guy is more than just some rugby pundit, I think a lot of Irish people have taken him to heart and have real affection for him. He conveyed a picture of the loneliness of lockdown for people who dont have family or kids with them, and gave a very sombre reflection on life without family.

I have my own family, but found the whole conversation very touching; sad, even – but not in a pitying way.

I'm surprised that Marty Morrissey was able to get that depth of honesty out of a guest. If anyone hasn't heard it, I'd really encourage you to find the podcast.

I heard most of it. I was upstairs when the program was coming on and turned it off when Marty said something about Nathan Carter. I think he said he was going to be a guest. I don't like Marty. Carter would be a typical guest and other topics would be something about the GAA and so on. Maybe a bit about a Clare village. Not for me.

I went downstairs for my cornflakes and turned on the radio and there was Pope talking. It was good I have to say. But not necessarily because of Marty.
I wish Pope well. He has been good on TV with the rugby and I wish he was around again with Hook.

Yes, I agree with all of this.

One thing that annoyed me about the interview was when Pope broke down, Morrissey just interjected with a lame " are u okay?" Instead of doing what any other broadcaster would do, and insert a bit of filler until the man gathers himself.

Seems like a trivial observation, I know, but it's just one of those personal skills that most broadcasters would instinctively have at-hand.

Marty isn't a broadcaster though. Hes a GAA commentator.

He was a stand in from the RTE canteen today

Not too many broadcasters in RTE. Maybe that's why he was on.

It was an excellent interview; Marty handled it like few could, with huge emotional sensitivity. Brent is one of the most sincere people on the planet, and Marty showed a genuine empathy, whilst making good radio. This is going to remain a broadcasting classic and I think we all wish Brent very well, he's on his toughest journey.

I didn't hear that particular part. But Marty is only for the highways and byways. I do think he has notions about himself. The jet black hair, the Elvis collar.

I actually liked that he did that, it was sincerity over "broadcasting", and drew me to like Marty more.

He knows he is no "looker" and kind of does a bit of a p1$$take on himself, at least that's how I read it. As people stay sometimes hereabouts it is his schtick. He scores in having an upbeat personality and today showed he has the depth I have believed to underpin him. I'm zero interest in GAA etc, but he manages to make me feel more upbeat whenever he is on, even if I'm a bit bored by the content. I think he's the type of person I'd thoroughly enjoy sharing a road trip with, he seems emotionally balanced as well as empathetic. A person who would be easy work to be around.

Fair play to Marty Morrissey for leveraging the above as part of his 'schtick', but it's such a shìtty, superficial thing to make fun of. Oliver Callan is always banging away at it, and call me humourless, but it just isn't funny. I doubt anyone outside of RTE cares what he looks like.

Morrissey wouldn't be my favourite interviewer, but I agree with you that theres a decent, upbeat character at the mic and by all accounts, a genuinely nice guy.

ButtersSuki

Think you’re confusing Rosenstock and Callan there.

Rosenstock is the one who brought the fake tan and whiter than white toothed Marty to life on his short-lived tv sketch show and subsequent 6 times a season Late Late Show appearances. Callan’s version is “I’m Marty and I like to party”, which depicts an exaggerated version of a man who likes to party....and the laydeez (both things he’d be well known for in GAA circles), with a lot of added sexual innuendo and puns. I can’t recall an episode where it ever mentions his looks.
