Hey, I see Gráinne Seoige is running in the General Election! A new face! That’s good!
No, that’s bad! I’m not a fan of celebrity candidates!
Well, the Republic of Ireland v England was some occasion… a great crowd in the Aviva, a new era for Ireland, Paul McGrath in the stand singing along to ‘Put ‘em under pressure’… surely that’s good?
No, that’s bad! We lost 2-0, and ex-Irish internationals Jack Grealish and Declan Rice scored for England, and Paul McGrath and that song only remind us of how much we’ve fallen! That’s bad!
Well, Apple have been told to pay Ireland €13 billion in tax… now THAT’S good!
No, that’s BAD, ‘cos it’s such a mess! The Government are embarrassed, the opposition will be all opportunistic, and we’ll hear nothing only elaborate promises during the election campaign!
(They pause to record the Trump-Harris presidential debate)
Well, there’s going to be an investigation into the €336k bike shed… now that’s good!
No, that’s bad! The Public Accounts Committee is to look into the entire process, and ministers are hiding behind vague stuff like that, instead of someone simply lifting the phone and demanding an answer! So frankly, it’s bad!
Well, Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala Harris for President, and you have your doubts about Trump, so that’s good!
No, that’s bad… more of that annoying ‘celebrities getting involved with politicians’ rubbish! What next? Mike Denver endorsing Simon Harris?
Speaking of Simon, he’s showing a real ‘man of the people’ side to him… did you see those videos of the Taoiseach dancing with various ladies? That’s an example of being in touch, surely that’s good?
No, that’s bad! Did you see his dance routines?
(They pause to watch the Trump-Harris presidential debate, before resuming their chat)
Okay, the weather was very nice last weekend. That’s good…
No, that’s bad! It came too late, and is only frustrating us now! The kids are back to school, the summer’s over, bah!
Well, the Late Late Show is coming back this Friday night… that’s good!
No, that’s bad!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Gráinne Seoige’s on it! Or Jack Grealish and Declan Rice! Now THAT would be good!
No, that would be bad! Now can we stop this silly conversation?
Okay, my grumpy pal, if you insist… this conversation ends now!
Editor: THAT’S good!
