Show Notes
James Moran is comprehensively and doggedly interviewed by comedian and filmmaker Matthew Tallon about his appearance on RTÉ's hit TV show First Dates. It's a psychological deep dive into the labyrinthine mind of Moran, his "strategy" on the show and some behind the scenes production details you will not want to miss.
There's also the mandatory 40 minutes of millennial banter at the start where they talk about Banksy and Tayto Park.

The Ligers talk about that Vittorio Angelone joke, that Shane Gillis joke and boring black t-shirt lad edgy (pejorative) comedy. Then they effortlessly transition into talking about two other unfunny people Larry David and Sacha Baron Cohen who seem to have had their (at least in David's case) once funny bones broken by Zionism (potentially by an IDF sniper who mistook it for a kid's kneecap). Then they talk about an advert promoting consent that has every right wing headbanger up in arms leading to shameless creepy scumbag Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan to have it taken down. Then they talk about Jamie Bryson's appearance on the Irish Times Inside Politics podcast with Hugh Linehan which prompts a discussion about this particularly vacuous "raging against the dying of the light" era of Loyalism and what it is about that the Irish commentariat find so appealing over any Republican viewpoints, even a domesticated Sinn Féin. Finally Gar goes on a rant about Pat Leahy deciding to care about a thing for the first time in his career and it's whether Zionists feel safe.
The Ligers are periodically joined by comedian Ronan Carey as he does battle with his computer. They talk about Patrick O'Donovan's health, public sector strikes, the Eamon Ryan documentary, the baffling perception of the Irish Green Party and Joe dot ie looking for another content creator.
The Ligers talk about the hit movie Digger starring Tom Cruise! RTÉ commemorates the 3rd year anniversary of October 7th by interviewing a scary ghoul by the name of Thomas Hand! The Green Party in the UK votes to recognise Zionism as racism.
The Ligers talk about Gary Stevenson, Ireland V Israel football and how disgraceful the whole thing was/will be again, the Garvaghey Road stand off against the Orange Order, Irish media weak sauce contrarianism, politicians trying to grandstand but not having a clue, Patrick O'Donovan being particularly shtupid, Fionnan Sheahan and David McWilliams competing to be the stupidest media dumbo of the week, Kilkenomics, civil service strikes, Toy Story and the latest last episode of Futurama!
The Ligers talk about TV now but only for half an hour (Arrested Development, Alien Earth, Malcolm in the Middle reboot, might be some more), then it's Micheál Martin meeting Mamdani! Fianna Fáil just saying that they would like to get rid of neutrality for money!
