I’m an Irishman now living in Canada. Brendan is awesome. Btw I stand with Israel. And there’s quite a few, not enough, of us Paddy’s that support Israel. I’m ashamed of Ireland’s short-sighted position at the moment. Shalom 🎗️💚❤️🇮🇱🕎

Thanks Peter!

One must always remember that these songs are secular in nature. True Christmas hymns/carols would not have been written by those of Jewish persuasion. Just a point to be made.

As a non-observing Jew I am very glad to celebrate Christmas (beyond the social/pagan traditions that come with it). After all, it is a birthday celebration of a Jewish prophet, and the most famous Jewish dissident of all times. As someone who grew up in USSR, this last part resonates with me a lot.

First time I’ve seen him and as a heterosexual male I’m annoyed he’s that good looking. Excellent show! Not enough time wish it were twice as long. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you all ❤️

Great conversation, so glad you have had Brendan on the show!

It’s been really weird to see Ireland loose its mind over this issue (and a few other hot button things).

Brendan had Ian O’Doherty on his show talking about this Irish derangement - he might be an interesting guest for you?

Ireland would be wise to find all their marbles , I can understand you dropped a lot along the path but you must realize the clock is ticking and you will be given a fair amount of time to get back on track and join sanity !

If you don’t find yourself you will lose 400 years of goodness. No one wishes you ill but it’s coming by your own hand. Please take a better path .

Btw, great point by Brendan in that racism was rehabilitated by the anti-racism.
