    I looked up his twitter to see if you were right..

    "Also today,we launch the Tubridy Culture Club.Every month we ask you to watch a dvd or read a book, etc. and then we discuss at end of month"

    What's next, an item on knitting or hot water bottles?

    I have to agree Tubridy is just awful on the radio - he doesn't bother reviewing the papers properly and as mentioned his endless talk of JFK, Twitter annoys me no end.
    Usually i just catch first 20 -45 mins and then have to turn off.

    However the most stupid and weird thing I heard him discuss was how he finds people and even children who call their parents "Mammy & Daddy" creepy and weird.

    I wonder does he get his own children to call him Mr Tubridy or Ryan.

    On a related topic I think I heard him metion he also finds it creepy people who keep a baby keepsake /scrapbook. This was when he was banging on about being asked to be a godfather.

    Best thing he said - today Powercourts waterfall is better than Niagra Falls as you can get tea and brack at Powerscourt.!!!

    Also hates pyrmaids and other wonders.

    Has anyone contacted RTE2 to complain that they are wasting tax payers money with Turbidy on the radio. Great on the LLS but he is to nerdy if they wanted to catch the niche market for that time of morning, maybe on lyric FM but not RTE2.

    Its so bad now, I listen to it to see how much worse it can get. Could he have gone on any more today about Imelda May ? Is he dying about her or what?
    Has a day gone by yet where he hasnt mentioned a US president? Who fúcking cares what JFK did 50 years ago?
    And as for the tweeting, haw haw, tweet, books, politics, beatles the whole time, I'd say he'll be gone in the new year.
    As bad as he is though, he couldnt be near as bad as "eh Ray eh Darcy eh" or the Parachute man.

    I think it might be Mr T. I heard the first 15 mins or so this morning and the chat with one of his production team was real Alan Partridge cingeworthy stuff. She called him Mr T twice and I don't think it was meant in an ironic way. I also noticed that his email address is now Tubs @ as opposed to plain old Tubridy, really trying too hard.

    Seeing as there's a 'spot the cliched reference' game here, I'll add mine.
    One of his favourite recent books, West Wing, JFK, magical Galway and.....yes twitter, were all mentioned in my short listening time.

    So bad it's good, perhaps.

    I switched on for a few mintues this morning. People were phoning in with secrets that they couldn't tell anyone.
    One lady texted that her dog was expecting puppies and she couldn't tell her husband because he would go mad.
    Mr. T and two other people that were in the studio said 'No problem, drown them all in a bucket'.:mad:

    The thing about the secrets was so pathetic, rick o shea has done this before. I don't believe that more than maybe one was genuine. Thought the same about the puppy thing, such bad taste. Mornings on 2fm are boring it's like listening to the 'friend' you can't stand and so cringeworthy. Sick of all the twitter talk, Gerry never once ranted on about the social network thing but now it's taken over his and colm 'i have a dog' hayes :mad: show!! I would love to know the truth about overall listeners opinions, but won't which is why I'm so glad this thread exists. I hope the 'twit' is as vain as he comes across and reads it! Him trying to interact with Hector is mortifying, what a combination! Hector would prob run a mile from him ordinarily and it comes across. I love hector BTW. Please RTE get rid of Tubridy. Love the idea of the twitter account to slag him even though I'm not a twitterer :p.

    Powerful article in this week's New Yorker on the innate anti-revolutionary nature of Twitter and Facebook. Titled "SMALL CHANGE Why the Revolution will not be Tweeted". Tubridy, and indeed anyone who thinks there is something "radical" about social networking, should read it.

    He'ld probably find this comforting, deep down. But there ain't nothin' edgy, duurty, or dangerous about tweeting. Its basically a control system for nerds.

    In the interests of fairness, I just listened to Tubs do an interview with a man who lost his wife to cancer. Despite mentions of trips to Washington and an interest in US politics by the guy, Tubs did not divert from the focus of the story. He seemed plenty sympathetic and to be honest it was a perfectly competent interview.

    Yeah I know its faint praise and all that, but I have been a big critic in this thread and I thought it only fair to say that he did a decent job.

    Who are the producers on his show?? They are equally to blame and do have quite a bit of say, and especially the so called head or 'Editor In Charge', yvonne judge.. The next JNLR figures will make interesting reading...

    lol, have to say any time he has dragged one of the production team in to the studio, they have come across as very childish..

    He was on again today about books, his culture club, re-tweeting, Reagan *yaaawwnn*.... only tuned in to hear the papers (I'm saving the trees), and I felt like going back to bed at 9.20am... The show needs a serious shake up, starting with him being told that he will be immediately fired if he EVER mentions i) Kennedy ii) Twitter iii) books on the show again... He has a habit of alienating his audience, droning on and on about topics that are of interest to only him..I'm really surprised in particular they have told him to STFU about Twitter... Every fukn minute..

    Yep, I think Ian Dempsey called it right a few months ago. Tubs was just a filler between morning Ireland and P.K.
    Even parachute man is better than tubs at talking to punters.

    How many times are you going to make the same point? It kind of lost it's effectiveness after the tenth.

    didnt seem to be hitting home after the first hundred times.. It's a war of attrition at this stage.
