I actually like Gerry Ryan, he's very opiniated fair enough (I don't always agree with him either!) but if people don't want to listen to him they have that option. Sorry to go off point but I though he was excellent on the Late Late a coulpe of weeks back

You know what, when he actually tries, he can be quite good and is a good interviewer. I just think he is SO SO hung up on SEX. It's to the point of ODD.

I mean, any chance he gets, he is wanting to turn the situation into a sexual episode?

That to me is plain weird.

I remember he was interviewing Cliff Richard recently and the interview was going real well and I thought, 'Wow, no sex talk, this isn't like Gerry,' but then Cliff mentioned how he had to flee a mob of chasing girls and he had to hide in a gents toilets. Ryan smiles and shakes and says, "did you get all excited in the mens toliets":rolleyes:

God, you would think I was always listening to him. I don't by the way; just every so often he crops up!

I thought he was good too. Tommy Tiernan, now there's an asshole. Even
Ryan was squirming listening to Tiernan!

I first listened to Ryan when I was 11 and off sick (wanted to listen to pop music, and 2FM - or was it Radio 2 at the time? - was the only place). Granted, this was nearly 20 years ago so he may have got more raunchy since, although I don't know, he doesn't strike me as someone who'd consider the cultural climate when it comes to discussing matters of a sexual nature... in fact he strikes me as someone who'd go out of his way to get the prudes all bothered. Anyway the entire show went right over my head. All I wanted was some tunes and there was nothing but boring talk between adults, none of which registered with me.

Well I don't have any children so I don't really care but I do think that a State sponsored programme shouldn't have a fat old bastard being graphic in the morning. The State should certainly have a duty of care on what they're publishing. Crissakes if I posted a doorty picture in the TD I'd be banned.

Anyway the end of the day if Ryan's show was broadcast post watershed there'd be even less chance of me hearing it which would have to be a good thing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Ryan but I consider myself a vehement opponent of any form of censorship.

I suppose it comes back to Frada's remark about a universal standard of decency. What's risqué for you might be fine for someone else.
Granted there has to be a happy medium but it's not chucking someone off the air because you don't like their antics.

I'm going to have a wee think about this. I can understand your point about a State broadcaster.

Well, did you parents sit with you whilst listening? I bet not, that's normal. My parents
didn't always sit with us whilst watching TV or listening to the radio; but if they knew Ryan was
spouting off about his masturbation techniques; I think they may well want to be there to switch it off

Anyway, had you as an 11 year old heard him today, I think it definitely
would have registered, It was despicable, and for an 11 year old or younger, inexcusable.

That's all I am saying. I am not a prude; but I do distinguish between adult content for adults and adult content that children are OR CAN be exposed to.

Me too, I am anti censorship for ADULTS, but I also feel that certain standards should apply if the possibility is there for young children to be seeing and hearing content of an adult nature.

And there is the possibility. Children can freely and without consent switch a bloody radio on and they can access any station. That's why standards are needed!

Throw out the fúcking radio then, if your children insist on listening to Gerry Ryan so much. Some of us* without children actually like Gerry Ryan's particular brand of early morning smut.+

Great argument there Kylen Plain Scandal:rolleyes:

You, like Ryan, are a nob!

Don't ever remember saying I even had children, nor saying they INSIST on listening to Ryan. So that shows me how observant and articulate you are!

This isn't a question about rte's censorship its a question as to whether or not gerry ryan is vile.

I can't understand how people don't consider him vile, the man is repulsive and so self absorbed that its hypocritical that he's even an interviewer as all he wants to do is express his opinion and tell of his personal experiences.

I've no qualms in the subject matter at a given time of day but its the purpose behind it that bothers me. Discussions on sex and masturbation are a tool of sensationalism that Ryan is using to build publicity and get people talking about his show. The proof is in the existence of this very thread.

Whats worse is theres no real substance or insight delivered in his show just tit tat glorified trash talk. I mean, who in they're f*cked up mind wants to hear about Gerry Ryan's **** tendancies anyway?

I endured two episodes of ryan confidential both of which compunded my detest for the man. When he interviewed Marco Pierre White, Ryan gorged his greasy mug with food and wine and repeadedly cut across Marco as he offered answers to Ryans mundane questions. Then, as ever, Ryan turned a question about Marco's love life into a sob story about his own troubles with his wife. F*ck off Gerry, nobody cares, interview the man we tuned into see interviewed.

The other i watched was with colin farrell. While Farrell is not on my list of favourite people he gained a place in my heart when he hit gerry ryan with this haymaker and said what we were all thinking:

Ryan (in response to an answer given by farrell: 'And why don't I believe you Colin?'
Farrell: '.....Cos you're a cynical f*ck Gerry!'

Thank you Colin

you've been invoking the "think of the children" card since about your second post.
So, either you have children (which makes frada quite observant) and you're expecting RTE to do your job for you, or you don't have children and your just making references to them in an effort to make it look like your complaint isn't as simple and easily resolved as it actually is.

Gerry's show runs three hours a day, five days a week. Of course it's going to have rubbish, pointless discussions on it. If he's wrecking my head, i switch off, simple enough.

He can't expect people to give their opinions on various subjects if he doesn't in return give his.

It's morning radio. Yesterday i got a good laugh out of that woman raving on about the stripper waving her fallujah in some poor lads face. Tomorrow it could be a discussion on women priests. it's silly and serious.

If your not liking it, stop listening. Thing is, alot of people are listening, thats why he's there so long.

As for him being vile? em no, ......wouldint ride him though

I personally never listen to the fat fcuk, however I was in a shop this morning and the staff had Irelands most overrated gobsh1te on the radio. Guess what he was talking about other than himself, his circumstised cock. Thats right big fat ugly Gerry talking about his tiny foreskin free tool. The two wimmin who were on air with him must not get out much cause they thought it was hillarious. FFS are we going to have to put up with this fcuker as long as we did with Gaybo. Why cant RTE get some fresh blood on the air and rid of this obnoxious wakner for good. Surely in these times of recession he could be sacked.

I know you'd get a load of pages out of Pat Kenny, because he's so bland that everything else comes up as a topic. He's a blank sheet, as it were. But I'm amazed that Ryan, langers, and his new exercise regime for his own, has given us 9 pages and a ban.......

So stick Gerry Ryan and his filthy kuntrag of a mouth on after 11pm to save the kids.

No way they could download the podcast at any hour of the day from pretty much anywhere in the world on any number of multimedia devices and listen to his muck.

Fact is a child would have no interest in listening to such topics on the wireless when they could be watching nuns getting fisted or brown people geting their heads cut off in glorious high definition.

Gerry Ryan isn't the worst thing on the radio. I worked in radio for years and nearly every bit of is sh1te.

Maybe he will be....the last listenership figures showed him in steady decline. Not surprised really, Ireland has moved on and grown up since his hayday back in the eighties.

RoundyMooney

The only things I find objectionable about Ryan are his appearance (as a TV persona who champions a sideshow called Operation Transformation, where he tells others of the joys of exercising for 30 minutes a day), and his personality, where he pimps his pulp biography at every given opportunity, namedrops constantly about provincial hobnobbers, and aspires to earn as much as Pat Kenny.

Well, at least he has ambition. And modesty. And sense of balance befitting the has been layabout law student dentist's son turned jumped up bingo caller.

The man is an arse.

Parkie

I did hear the topic discussed.....yep I agree the langer is now a confirmed self professed ****#er.

Dispise the man, interviews people....then wallows on about himself, not allowing the interviewe to speak, as they politely try to make their point..(only came to be listning to him cos the wife was with me.)


...he is a tool...imo...

I just think certain standards should be applied. It is after all the national broadcaster and young children are unfortunately able to listen to the creep.

Pub talk late at night, no real issue there. 11am on the national airwaves? C'mon, he's VILE and the fact he gets excited and giddy tells me he is a little touched.

Does RTE have any standards whatsoever?

Why the fcuk do you insist on using the word vile.......do you even know the dictonary meaning.

It's only personal abuse if the person on the recieving end is a member here. Otherwise, it's generally just crass.

If Mr. Ryan is a member here and would like to post and prove that it is in fact him (mentioning it on the radio would be proof enough), then I would gladly ban anyone who called him a fat bastard or whatever.

I don't see it happening though.

Yeah, he's from a very privileged background - dad was a dentist, mam was working in theatre. He grew up in Clontarf, a generally very upmarket area. Arsed around in Trinners for years... and yet, sometimes he kinda goes on as if he's all "working class"... "I'll tell ya somethin': me da may have been a dentist but he was employed by the Health Board so he wouldn't have been earnin' as much as the private dentists". How "ghetto"...
