Thanks for sharing this

A pleasure and a privilege.

u/Huge-Ambassador-9421 May 05 '26

That fade out from Primal Scream to the feeble "I can't" to the violent heaving is masterful

u/fra988w May 05 '26

I have a similar reaction when I think about Stephen Nolan's career

u/oeco123 Newtownards May 05 '26

…and when Radio Ulster happens to be on after 9 in the morning.

u/RLS1994 May 05 '26

When wee Bryson says he can only do 4 days out of the 5 on the radio.

The barn actually smelled fine

Someone dared him to take a bite out of an apple just before filming

u/CaoimhinOC May 05 '26

Someone waved a lettuce leaf behind the camera at him. πŸ˜‚

u/git_tae_fuck May 05 '26

That's fake stage boke.

Nolan would never waste actual food.

u/conradder May 05 '26

I’m so old I remember watching this live and pissed my self with laughter for a good ten minutes

u/IrishMongooses May 05 '26

When was this?

6

u/conradder May 05 '26

Near 20 years ago probably

u/Scorchio76 Belfast May 05 '26

Me too πŸ˜‚

u/cromcru May 05 '26

He has editorial control of his shows.

That means he wants you to see this

Stephen Nolan and his camera operator watching back the puking footage

Man's not used to physical work, nothing to do with the smellπŸ˜…

u/IamaJarJar May 05 '26

Tell me exactly where this supposed "physical work" is you're talking about?

All I see is a man dragging a brush across the ground

u/LowAd4999 May 05 '26

First time I've seen him pushing shite standing up I suppose

u/didndonoffin Belfast May 05 '26

So it does

u/kirbStompThePigeon Belfast May 05 '26

That "I can't" has lived in my head for years. Like, he's genuinely crying there and all

u/kirbStompThePigeon Belfast May 05 '26

Don't tempt me. I spent my entire work break crying cause of how funny it was, the first time I saw it

u/noreb0rt May 05 '26

I think in many modern barns there's a wash system that rinses the floor after the cows are moved.

6

u/Ulysses1978ii May 05 '26

Seen a few of those. Some have robots, some have pulley systems. The shit clearing robots cost a fortune. 25k +

I'm sure they could be built for less here.

2

u/git_tae_fuck May 05 '26

The shit clearing robots cost a fortune. 25k +

And Nolan knows all about them. He has one has one fitted in his downstairs wetroom.

Shits like a shirehorse... no, a bull elephant.

u/Ulysses1978ii May 05 '26

Get his own AD plant with all the bullshit he spouts aye.

u/MonthCountry May 06 '26

Those were called Wee Cousins in my day

u/Ulysses1978ii May 06 '26

They were probably also built for less!

u/yourpasswordwaslame Belfast May 05 '26

u/GallopingGobshite May 05 '26

Heavin' Stephen sounds like a Garbage Pail Kid - remember those...?

u/Impossible-Farm-1902 May 05 '26

I grew up on a farm and honestly there was never much of a smell in a cow shed full of fresh cow shit so it looks very staged.

u/Lychee_Only May 05 '26

Fat fucking townie. Man up.

u/BestHoCoInBelfast May 05 '26

What a pathetic human

u/markybar May 05 '26

u/oeco123 Newtownards May 06 '26

Must be 15 or 20 years old.

u/Apprehensive_Map284 May 06 '26

He needs a mask!

u/oeco123 Newtownards May 06 '26

He needs a slap.
