Dublin to Cork = Criss crossing the country.

Applauds RTÉ BIAS...CLAPS SLOWLY

History history history.

RTE circle jerk.

Turbridy really is like the RTE Royal family. Costs a f**king fortune and goes round every day talking sh1te and shaking hands and contributing f**k all to anything.

Oscars were boring.

I wonder why.

Hopefully some Prince Andrew-like scandal will end this farce.

“Gay Byrne was vaudeville, an entertainer... modern RTÉ people are journalists....where do you see yourself in that Ryan?”

asks academic guest.

“Somewhere in the middle” mumbles Ryan.

Nowhere say we.

Are you down there on the couch with Ryan, BS? Do do want to share anything with us?

ButtersSuki

I was driving this morning on my way to a meeting and listened up to the first song which was Niall Horan :rolleyes:

Talk about a load of self-indulgent RTE is totes amazeballs circle jerk politics and history are cool waffle.

No, not today. I’ve been on that couch, literally so to speak.

I’ve been in Tubs company a few times, he’s as big a tool as you’d imagine from the Radio.

Staying in the Imperial I see, it’s about 500feet (yes, feet) to the RTE Studios from there - no doubt a fleet of limos was hired to shuttle the staff from A to B.

Who was his engaging academic / historian type female guest this morning?

Liked her style!

* Ryans whole World is like a variant of the Truman Show - Nothing he sees around him represents reality as he surrounds himself with congratulatory staff and sycophantic cheerleaders who tell him he's a broadcasting legend.

The guy can't even manage the basics of interviewing, he reads his pre-prepared questions and doesn't even properly listen to his guests answers - let alone develop on their interesting points.

Even more unforgivable he consciously kills serious topics raised by guests to keep the show "light"

You could throw a tennis ball down O'Connell St and odds are you'd hit someone better suited to this role the Ryan.

Morgans

The one who turned the piece into a story about how she set up the UCC players who performed a play she wrote and how she loved bespoke stages. Jaysus. Well found by Ryan, who at least got her name wrong when introducing her.

Pat kenny is where the action is

But also somehow simultaneously finds a misery aspect in light/most topics!

So...Obviously radio interviews these days are completely scripted so guests sit there obligingly and answer their own questions, prepared and submitted by themselves.

The radio hosts job is to pretend its stuff he/she has just thought of asking and the implication is that they're well versed in the topic at hand.

Pat Kenny is the only radio personality I've ever heard to interrupt and contradict his own guests to correct them and argue on points he's reading off his side of the scripted interview - ie. he tries to beat them about the head with their own facts to look smart (?)

Pat Kenny wrote:

[*** Interrupts his guest when they're mid-sentence***] "But actually Jonathan, isn't it rather more correct to say that the half-life of Polonium-210 is more accurately stated as 138.39 days?"

That and when he elects to navigate beyond the dullness of common parlance to select and utilise la 'bon mot' with a gay chuckle at his own erudite semantic prowess.

In other words he's a born dickhead, and I'm forever terrified he's going to try and move into my garden.

(Probably Fake) Texter: 'Great to see that someone supports the arts degree and that it can lead to great careers"



...because it was Tubridy's second-class degree in Ancient Greek Civilization that got him a 500k salary for the equivalent of a day's work per week.

Plug for Super Valu.
Donuts and all that kinda thing. Boston Creme is Tubs' favourite - Boston, New England, Massachusetts, JFK - it all makes sense.
