Ryan Tubridy radio show thread

Sir Oxman

'I knew every word of that, love that' sez he as he struggles to find the name of it

Fairly sure he played this a few days ago.

It’s Paul McCartney. Tubs will play it as often as he wants!

He's a McCartney fan not The Beatles for sure (esp. the schmaltzy dirge McCartney post-Beatles)

Lennon would not be a good egg, in Tubs’s little mind.

Dear RTÉ,

Can I have a show where I talk about my hobbies and interests that pays me €500,000 a year for 5 hours a week roughly 40 weeks a year, and where I can solicit freebies that I’m too tight and entitled to pay for? I promise you I’m more interesting than and can hold a conversation much better than the incumbent.

Yours,
ButtersSuki.

Are we meant to know Joyce?

Is there a sad story coming up?

And the winner of the least Monaghan-sounding Monaghan accent of all time is.....,

Of course. Either death, cancer or a search for freebies.

Freebies are not sad stories in RTÉ! They are Finding Joy*!

Basically an extended ad for her band.

sligojoek

Is there a point to any of this?

ButtersSuki

Yonkers is Bonkers!

Ffs, I was joking, but he said it as I was typing it!!!!

14th time on Ireland, and manages to get on the radio with Tubridy.


Why, why, why?

I assume a freebie will be festooned upon them or as I predicted earlier just an extended ad for her band begotten.

ButtersSuki

And how do you feel about the nasty Donald Trump?

TheHomeService

Look up vacuous in the dictionary. It will bring you to this interview.

ButtersSuki

“A great story of the American Dream - Hong Kong, the Philippines, and now Ireland.”

Ah, what?

TheHomeService

Here come the freebies

ButtersSuki

Here we go with the freebies - well done all who predicted same.

Pretty shoyte freebies actually.

Dear ButtersSuki,

We admire your absolute lack of commitment to public service broadcasting, general laziness, ridiculous salary expectations and aversion to paying for things.

However, we note that you have not mentioned anything about your family roots. It is a requirement of this job that you be related to a prominent Irish political family or previous RTE employee (Gerry Ryan, for example).

You seem not to have lived a life of unwarranted privilege thus far. In addition, you didn't use the word 'bonkers' once in your cover letter and you seem not to be pushing an insincere "kind" persona that covers up various sinister and creepy personality traits.

Thus, we are unable to offer you the position.

Yours sincerely,

RTE

A yoga mat. Just what every new bride dreams of!

Just in the requested freebies I dont know if historic ones would count but there was defiantly a request for some soft material that a vinyl player would be put on top of and also a knife sharpener I think

It never fails to amaze me how the wedding is always given more priority than the marriage.

Dear RTÉ,

That’s not very nice is it?

I can be pretty bonkers sometimes actually, for example once I went to a GAA game in Croke Patrick Park without wearing a GAA jersey.

I’ve also been to Dog’s Bay and Roundstone, and my grandmother had a framed and mounted picture of JFK in her kitchen.

Now can I have the job?

Regards,
ButtersSuki.

If she wants something decent the template is:

Go into one store and kick up a huge fuss about something.

Then go to a rival store and tell them what happened.

Ring Liveline to absolutly slate the first place.

Profit.

A very slow day with empty filler pieces even by Bryan’s standards. I can’t recall ever having 2 songs on the show before.
