    He is talking about turkeys. MOVIE AND MUSIC TURKEYS. Genius. He has a 'gobble' drop.

    His fake enthusiasm about toys is showing.

    He is desperately out of touch with pop culture.

    So will you listen again? Or is there an element of schadenfreude about it all?

    Re: easychair

    I listen quite regularly. I want to hear where my money is being spent. Do you listen or is this thread just voyeurism for you?

    Those Germans have a word for everything.

    I doubt if your in the fee paying business because from the frequency and time of your posts, not just on this forum, but have seen your name on others as forums as well. So either you are taking the p*ss out of your employers or you are unemployed. Just give it a break.

    In fairness , he could be self employed or an eccentric millionaire or many other things.

    All we know abouit him is his opinions about Tubridy, and his apparent obsessiion with him, his desire to ignore good news abouit Tubridy and sieze on any bit of bad news with apparent joy, and his ability to hurl incoherant abuse at anyone who points out the obvious.

    I have an obsession with fairness, and i dislike someone who is so obviously biased as the member you mention. I really can't understand why someone should follow Tubridy about the airwaves, watch him on tv, listen on the radio etc etc, claim he is an appalling broadcaster, and continue to watch and listen to him.

    I don't enjoy listening to Tubridy and neither listen to him, or watch him. Can you understand why someone who keeps telling everyone else how truly dreadful Tubridy is continues to listen to him on the electric wireless, watch him on tv, and read any newspaper articles he can find?

    Does Tubridy or any of his production team listen to the lyrics of his new hip post Norton Show musical numbers.

    This morning Milkshake by Kelis was played - complete with X rated rap monologue. This was in the middle of talk about the toy show and names Tubs likes and doesnt like.

    Sure wouldn't be the first time 2FM made that booboo, playing the album version instead of radio edit. Recall hearing D12's Purple Pills on Larry Gogan lunchtime some years back which I'm sure was quite illuminating for Larry and anyone else interested in the finer points of ecstasy consumption. No-one seemed ot notice and it played in it's entirety.
    I think I recall G Ryan making a similar mistake (can't recall song) but he pulled it a few minutes in...

    You honestly think Tubridy listens to Kelis? That was for all the baby mommas out there...

    Dont normally listen to radio at this hour any more as I'm working different hours... but my god it's just as bad as ever... turned on John Murray and the comedy piece was worse than ever, and the show same as usuall.. like Nationwide on the radio...

    And then I switched over to Tubridy to get away from that... Dear God, the music for "Willy Wonka" is playing in the background, six months later and it's still playing.. . "Jeepers", "Filty McFilterson".. BANG, radio off..

    I'm listening.

    He is talking to the guy from Nationwide. He really finds him funny. Clap clap. Such a pleasure. Bang the table. Mutual JO.

    Next guest up: Larry Gogan.

    This is the year 2011. It should not be like this. There is no hope for this species. This virus on the face of Gods green earth.

    AS HE prepares for the Toy Show, Ryan Tubridy has said that he feels no guilt about his earnings; and believes he can achieve something in his role as a public servant.
    Asked if these tales of hardship made him feel guilty about his own salary, he said: "No it doesn't. I basically feel that I can try to do something as a public servant in some respects, in a public service broadcaster way and think; 'Let's try and make a difference in any way that we can and I think we can'.

    I'm sorry but i can't even look at the pictures of him surrounded by children without wanting to vomit. It just makes me feel very uneasy.

    200k, that is still a very generous salary in my opinion. I'm not sure what is correct amount, it should depend how well you perform.
    Pat Kenny is the highest paid but he is very good at his job, Joe Duffy and Tubridy could easily be removed and nobody would notice or care after a month, thats the difference.

    Chris Moyles, presenter of the Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 1, receives a salary of c.£500,000 stg which is pretty much on a par with Tubridy's, taking into account the present currency rates.

    Moyles has an audience of c.8 million listeners (or 12.3% of the population). Tubridy has c.175,000 (4.3%). Therefore, if we take the BBC figure as an 'appropriate' wage for one of the top presenters in the UK, that would equate to Tubridy, based on his success as a broadcaster, deserving a salary one third less than what he currently gets. i.e. €185,000.

    That sounds reasonable to me. Throw in a bit more for the 3hr a week LLS gig, and you're talking €250,000 tops.

    Remember this is a very generous estimation as Moyles is at the very top of the salary scale for UK dj's full stop and he is actually good at what he does...

    The problem is that your opinion holds very little sway with RTE bosses, who probably pay the talent huge figures to make what they pay themselves seem relatively normal.

    No amouth of hand wringing is going to change that in the short term, and the problems with RTE are endemic, and due to the rotten financial system which keeps throwing RTE more good money after bad every year. RTE is not accountable, and the ludicrous amounts of money it spends on pedestrian broadcasters like Joe Duffy, Tubridy, Marian Finucane, Derek Mooney and so on would be tolerated in no other country in the world of which I am aware.
