Whatever happened to Frostbit boy? Ruairi McSorley became famous from this viral video in 2015 and went on to star in his own music video and earn himself guest spots on late night talk shows. He went quiet for a few years until news of the rescue of a young man stranded out at sea for 12 hours hit the headlines. The story took a bizarre turn when it was revealed the young man was Frostbit boy. He attempted to swim over 5 miles to a rock in the middle of Tralee Bay. The media has left him alone since it has become clear Ruairi is on the autism spectrum and is not quite "all there".
Special mentions:
-
The fella from Cork who created the Martin’s Life videos on Youtube. Apparently he crumbled under the pressure of his own success and stopped making new videos. People wanted to give him awards such as Cork Person of the Year but he shunned the spotlight and wanted to remain anonymous.
-
The red faced horse trainer who declared to the nation he would be having sex tonight after his horse won.
-
Geri Maye from the Den. Left Ray D’arcy at the altar.
-
Kevo who used to do video game reviews on the Den back in the 1990s. Some crazy stories floating about regarding this guy. Locked up in Mountjoy, got into heroin. I can’t confirm if they’re true but I’ve heard this from many people.

Galway political activist Joe Loughnane went viral in 2014 thanks to his outburst against a university lecturer. He was a media darling for brief period as he vowed to fight "the racists" and even ran for election with PBP in 2020. He ended coming up second last with a paltry 437 votes and was expelled by PBP after it was revealed he was a serial abuser of women and a drug dealer. The once outspoken activist has been very quiet since.
Anyone else who you’ve wondered about over the years?
What ever happened to that minor Irish celeb after their 15 mins of fame?

Martins Life is absolute gold.
Ruairi McSorley was on episode 304 of the 2 Johnnies podcast. Clips are available on youtube. Poor boy is batshit crazy.
Wasn’t Frostbit Boy supposed to be a real estate agent in Texas?
That young wan Georgia Salpa who became the face of FAS about 15 years ago.
I think the horse trainer died
After Googling Geri, she is a GAA psychologist and had 12 miscarriages before adopting 2 kids in 2018
Kevo is a producer with RTE

Wait Geri Maye left D’Arcy at the alter? What? What!?
> Left Ray D’arcy at the altar.
Wait, seriously?
Lots of people don’t know this but it circulates here sometimes, but the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE guy grew up in Limerick and has a pretty thick Irish accent.
Slab murphy has the right to be forgotten.
I don’t think anyone has really heard a peep from Joe since 2020. He used to be very involved in all the Palestine stuff, kinda surprised he hasn’t shown back up?
Whatever happened to the Sminky Shorts guy?
>Geri Maye from the Den. Left Ray D’arcy at the altar.
Oh god did it get that far? I knew they separated but I didn’t know it was that late hour
Was his neighbour in a mobile park during covid times. He is actually even funnier IRL mad fella. He has a few music videos on YouTube
Pure bullshit that he has autism. He’s just taking hand for the most part.
Pretty sure he is an engineer
Claire Tully.
Suppose she was pretty upfront (wahey!) that she was only getting them out to pay for college.
Think frostbit boy got lost at sea and rescued by dolphins or some mad shit. May have ran in politics after as well, bit hazy on the details
Geri Maye lol
That a childhood name that was buried deep in my brain.

[kevo you tube channel](https://m.youtube.com/@KOConnellMr/videos). Kevin O’Connell it seems. His LinkedIn profile says he’s a producer/director at RTÉ.
What about the guy who slipped on ice on RTE news. Has anyone been able to identify him?

I was drinking pints with him at the Irish Open Poker 3 months ago.
