Ryan Tubridy radio show thread

A request for FREE slippers.

Fake laughing.

More empty promises.

Mr Velo

"please be bright" says Ryan any time he sees an Irish person abroad on TV (referring to Donie O'Sullivan on CNN last night). What the hell.

generalgerry

I think it is really irresponsible of Tubridy to continue with this line that the vaccine is the panacea. Even the Government medical experts say that this is not the case. I thought that RTE were carrying out a campaign against misinformation, why don't they start with their own employees.

Birdwatch calendar.
Ooh, unsolicited says the contracted state employee.

Government buildings

While his whole repetitive speel is utter nonsense, at least it's entertaining (for a while). I couldn't listen to a full hour of it.

The inference being “bright and intellectual, and a fan of books, like me”.

ButtersSuki

She wasn’t joking Bryan.

ButtersSuki

Reading out messages of praise for himself, “the team”, and the show. Totes humblebragging.

ButtersSuki

I’m out. “Enjoy” the rest of the show.

PieOhMy

Heard a bit in the kitchen earlier. Did he specificaly say that the birdwatchers ireland calander was unsolicited? Just as an aside I would actually really like that calander, but its unlikely one will just land on my desk unsolicited, I'll have to put forth some effort to find it and then buy it myself.

Mind you, it's RT asking the questions.

One of his favourite ways to spend the show.

Reminds me of the programme following the Toy Show - he spent a good portion of the show reading out an entire article, word for word, praising his performance and saying how funny and relatable he was because he cursed.

Its post colonial cringe. He views, as the Brits did, the irish as fools. Which of course explains why he loves himself, and in particular JFK so much. A cut above the normal riff raff and peasantry. In his mind an interest in books, barely past the superficial as is his own case, means he is, in his mind, far above the bog dweller. God forbid a bog dweller is allowed on foreign TV, only people like Tubridy should be.

TheHomeService

This is one of those occasions when both the interviewer and the interviewee are making an interesting item sound boring.

Good point.

Tubridy sees himself as a modern day Henry Kelly, which is flattering to neither.

Uncharted

Tubridy didn't push the Clinton/ Epstein- Maxwell connection too hard.

Despite the fact Bill Clinton flew in Jeffrey Epsteins personal jet at least 26 times to Epsteins private island.


Bill and Hillary are beyond all reproach in Ryan's opinion it seems.

Too close to Tubbs bone(r)



Tubbs very eager to direct both barrels of attention to ( the vile )Prince Andrew though.

Biased much Tubbs ??

Not all heroes wear capes you know. Some wear suits, and Christmas jumpers when they're presenting the Toy Show.

Let me guess, Bryan is generously volunteering to put himself at the front of the queue to take the vaccine - while thousands of front liners have to wait?

No, 5 frontliners getting it. He didn't mention himself

I really hope RT doesn't also - that would be taking the piss out of the population.

If he wasn't lying about having covid he presumably has antibodies.

There's one for everybody in the audience.

Previously he did say, more than once if I remember correctly, he would take the vaccine live on LLS, the way he had a Covid test when they weren't available to people in healthcare. It's definitely not right for a presenter to be seen to be ahead of the hoi polloi in receiving healthcare, but it is fine to show healthcare workers in this position. Should never have suggested himself to stand in as an example, except of course to be able to say he was putting his money where his mother is. But that can't be in this emergency public health scenario.

Ash.J.Williams

I’ve a great idea, why don’t RTÉ presenters and Twitter influencers just shut the f up and stop scaremongering, the general population would be far better off and happier:)

Who are these “Twitter influencers”

Anybody who is ‘influenced’ by the scones who operate on that platform would be surely deemed to be challenged.

He was dyin to get vaccinated on the LLS because it would help him achieve his aim of being seen as one of Ireland's "covidian" heroes.

Not sure if the idea was seriously considered within RTE or if it was just another one of his silly notions, but people were rightfully unimpressed by his self-serving offer.

I imagine the implications and potential public reaction was gauged by someone with more self-awareness than him within RTE and/or the health service.

News breaking in America, Pelosi calls for Trump to be impeached.
Ryan Tubridy confirms to RTE that he is "monitoring all current developments with interest and will issue an official statement at 9.10am (GMT) tomorrow."

TheHomeService

Tubridy complaining that Dublin traffic was heavy yesterday.

Funnily enough, I am in Dublin today for essential medical reasons (I’m sitting outside Blackrock Hospital now). First time I have been in Dublin in months.

I was struck at how quiet traffic is.

PieOhMy

Being ordinary is extraordinary. Fake email.

Ryan had 0 intention of learning Irish, the man of the big house in rural ireland doesnt speak the language of the workers on his land. Hed prefer to be speaking with an British accent and get himself over to the bbc and pretend to be able to speak Irish if asked about it over there.

Tubidry is to the west as americans who are one eighteenth Irish are to Ireland.

He would be the one to sneer at the yanks too when not sucking up to them on the late late.

What’s the betting that the next child is also “a reader”, has a great teacher and dislikes Trump?

Heard CB segment announcing what was coming up on the show, but then heard Ryan mention PBH coming up next.
Sure enough it's CB that is back from her hols.

Oh they’re fully aware of who he is. My 5 year old calls him a poopy-headed nutter cracker.....which I think is from Elf. Trump, not Tubs.
