The Weekend On One With Brendan O'Connor

and mindfullness again in less than an hour.

True.

RTe are actually creating the need for mental health services and all this mindfulness rubbish.

I dunno, they can’t seem to win. A few years ago ‘no one is talking about mental health’ now it’s too much mental health talk.

And as for mindfulness, well, that’s something a few on here could do with getting “into”.

If such a thing as a BOC fan does exist you most likely will not find them hanging out here.

Jaysus did Ballsy introduce Daniel McConnell as Daniel O’ Connell at the programme start.

That said,folks, let’s not take these journos too seriously, dudes like McConnell spout stuff as if they know everything.

They may be right………sometimes…. but Ballsy and all these talking heads are playing for the same team….. so,as I do, don’t be taken in but some of the bull they put out.

The ‘luvvies ‘ are everywhere.

Jesus , Michael Harding on again.

Must be topping the charts of 'most used guest' in RTE.

You get the feeling he is used as filler, just to pad out the time.

in fairness he said one of the producers thought that statement re young deaths might not be accurate,he was then in the unenviable situation of ignoring what might be an insensitive remark or challenging it ,

My interpretation was there was concern from producers tranmitted to him and he caveated Dan O Briens statement until it was checked and quickly withdrew the caveat once it was checked.

Maybe in this woke time there is a hyper sensitivity to giving possible offence with an inaccurate statement.

It was a good point, not 100% sure who made it, but whoever it was will be a long time waiting for another invite from the media, a bit like Dan, who is on far too infrequently

It was Dan O Brien who made that point and he was bang on. Instead of engaging with the point he made BOC deferred to the other panelist, Laura Durcan, who agreed with his point. This was followed up by BOC floundering about to tow the government line.

I generally like Stephen Fry..... but what a media hoore

As usual question radio presenter ..... 'Tell me about your first ****'? 😁

To

Ballsy and others don’t seem to be able to sustain two hours anymore.

Has to be a reason…. Would Noel have anything to do with it.

You have Drivetime now having the last half hour passed over to Paddy O’Gorman and before that PBH.

Load of bolloxe.

The only sad thing about Rita Ann Higgins and Tony Bates contributions is that most of those who might benefit from listening to them are not doing so.

Why would’t they …… the tape recorders have been oiled up, whatever happens this RTE lot certainly won’t suffer.

They will disappear like melted snow any day now and will not be seen again till around the 8th of January.

How does anyone listen to or watch ANTHING on RTE anymore? Unless you are a masochist of course and enjoy Covid, Cancer, Mental ill health, Assisted Dying, Restrictions, NPHET, and constant negativity and moaning. Jaysus almighty, it is not good for you.

Not a hint of positivity or anything uplifting is there? Just reading the RTE threads fills me with the rage anyway.

That cosy cabal in Montrose needs a big kick.
