If you listen to the show from time to time you will hear " Big T" the kerry hay maker who really thinks he's God's ball bag. ( It's a unfortunate and innaccurate Kerry complex)
We have been acting the ass on the show with the " autotune " software lately.
This audio plug in enables the worst singer in the world to sing " in tune " .
It is used to disguise inaccuracies and mistakes, and to make the likes of T-pain, lil' wayne and other such disposable talentless parasites of modern pop pisssh to produce more precisely tuned records.
The" Black eye peas " new track "Boom Boom Pow" uses this " vocoder - auto tune " fx.
So, what if you take speech and run it through the auto tune ??
This is what happenes to Martin Lt King's speech when it's all auto tuned!
On the show this morning we had world famous spray paint artist “ Finbar” who is based in London ( from Togher ) He was in to promote FAT FACE and their new shop opening in Cork.
We asked people to text in suggestions for the piece, on a Cork theme of course!
Des The Bishop is co presenting the show this week before his gig at " Live at the marquee " this friday night.
This morning , out of banter was born a challenge.
Des offered Lenny a chance to warm up for him ( yes stand up styley ) in front of about 4000 people this friday night. In order to do it we need to raise 5000 euro for charity to get him the gig.
Balls of steel young Linehan ... balls of steel ( oh this is what 4000 people looks like )
Man nappy table 2 ???
Stay tuned to the show all week for updates and coaching classes !
My girlfriend has yet again done the womanly deed and not put petrol it her car, which ment on appliance of ignition this morning it would not start, to her utter disgust. This in turn means she has robbed mine.

Pop star Michael Jackson was rushed to a hospital this afternoon by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics.
Capt. Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The parademics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told The Times.
The news comes as Jackson was attempting a comeback after years of tabloid headlines, most notably his trial and acquittal on child molestation charges.
In May, The Times reported that Jackson was living in a Bel-Air mansion and rehearsing for a series of 50 sold-out shows in London's O2 Arena. Jackson had won the backing of two billionaires to get the so-called "King of Pop" back on stage.
His backers envision the shows at AEG's O2 as an audition for a career rebirth that could ultimately encompass a three-year world tour, a new album, movies, a Graceland-like museum, musical revues in Las Vegas and Macau, and even a "Thriller" casino. Such a rebound could wipe out Jackson's massive debt.
When I was about 19'ish I used to produce up the radio ad's for national campaign's for D'Unbelievables video's which always came out around Christmas.I always loved there comedy style for what it was, pure Irish and unmistakably familiar.
They were total mentalists and would nearly always be in character in studio.
We recieved an email to the show from a guy called Tom Whitnail from Cork, a young lad who has been through 3 year's of Chemotherapy hell. A few years ago the "make a wish" foundation flew him to Copenhagen to meet Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, his drumming hero.
Chad was, as you would expect, a total gentelman. He took Tom backstage to play his drums and just hang out. Tom said it was the boost he needed to get him through the treatment.
Three years later Chad is in Cork and Tom contacts us to see if he can meet him, " just to thank him for everything ". So Tuesday evening we head down to the Chickenfoot sound check, 2 hours later Chad comes over and it was like seeing old buddies greeting each other.
They say never meet your heroes, you will only be let down, bollox.
He may have been only the second man to step on the moon, but now Buzz Aldrin has boldly gone where no astronaut has gone before – by becoming a rap star.
In an unlikely pairing with rap artist Snoop Dogg and producer Quincy Jones, the 79-year-old moon-walking hero has recorded a track and video to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing that set him and Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface.
Entitled 'Rocket Experience' the single features the veteran spaceman on lead vocals, chanting lines such as: 'I tell the story ‘bout me time on the moon now, the sky was black even though the sun shine down; moon-walking’s such a trip, it’s so fine, when you’re walking in the lunar dust.'
Rap idols Talib Kweli and Souljaboy also contributed to the production, which is raising money for Aldrin’s ShareSpace Foundation (correct: ShareSpace) to support space education programmes.
'I was shocked when Buzz hit me on Twitter and was like "Yo, I’m working on this album,”' explained Talib Kweli in a second video showing how the song was made and featuring tongue-in-cheek interviews with Aldrin and his fellow stars. 'He wanted to get more of an underground feel, so he had to bring me in….Buzz Aldrin is so gangsta.' It was on July 20 1969 that Buzz Aldrin followed Neil Armstrong out of the Apollo 11 lander to make humankind’s first footprints in the lunar soil. The feat turned them into global heroes and was followed by a further five missions that saw 10 more astronauts walk on the moon over the next three years.
But in a new book, 'Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon' Aldrin tells how he struggled for years afterwards with depression and an addiction to alcohol that nearly killed him, before embracing sobriety, marrying third wife Lois, and dedicating himself to becoming a tireless advocate for future space exploration.
