Mario's Sunday Roast

Dublin City, Celebrating Old Town Road and Taking Yourself Off Hold On This Week`s Roast

Joining Mario this week for the Sunday Roast panel was one third of comedy troupe CCCahoots Tadgh Hickey and journalist Larissa Nolan.  Tadgh kicked things off with his perception of Dublin City maybe taking pity on anyone who had to come from outside the city to do anything in their city.
It got him thinking that quite often there is a perception that getting up to Dublin - to the city is where its all at! He lets us in that this is not the case - the city he wants to get back to is his own!
I bet Cillian Murphy at this very moment is on the set of some movie and on his break is just endlessly scrolling through daft.ie checking out house prices in Ballincollig!
Larissa was up next celebrating the success of the song that has most fascinated her this summer - it`s Old Town Road by Little Nas X.  Larissa believes it is one of the most important pop songs ever recorded because of the diversity of the song , the singer and the audiences and the creation of a new genre - Hip Hop Country!
Mario threw time wasted from being on hold and dealing with poor customer service into this week`s roast - he has been having a nightmare recently with his broadband provider and has had to spend far too much time going round the block to get a solution. He tries out some new solutions with Larissa and Tadgh on how to deal with this - Karoke hold music anyone?
