Ryan Tubridy radio show thread

We have misery on steroids this morning, desperately sad story. A baby who died of chest infection, then two young family pet goats who died soon after. Not great innings there. Moral of today’s Misery Slot, “Life can be Cr@p, go get tissues”.

Is it going to be wall to wall 'Pavaroddi' for the week?

Does he not know that less than 1% of the population like that kind of music. He's amazed by it now, having never mentioned Pavorotti before until yesterday. It's so self indulgent now, its ridiculous. Already a mention of Obama today too.

sligojoek

Obama
Boris
Pavarotti
Toy Story 4.

AGAIN

He didn't like Dad's Army cos it was "Too british" (ie. not american enough).

Turns out he's interviewing Pavarotti's 2nd wife tomorrow. That's what it's all about.

No mention of the LLS yet.

I'm out before the misery slot.

To be fair, RT looks like someone who have come out of the Oxbridge classes.

https://www.irishtimes.com/business/media-and-marketing/rt%C3%A9-cites-cost-of-special-events-for-13m-loss-1.3937008?mode=amp

RTÉ recorded a loss of €13 million in 2018, with the State-owned public service broadcaster citing the cost of “special events”, such as the Papal visit, the presidential election and its coverage of the FIFA World Cup.

These three events combined cost €7.2 million, it said, bringing its total costs to €339.8 million for the year.

The broadcaster, which has bank debt of €50 million, has now recorded a deficit in seven of the last 10 years, with its surplus in 2017 only achieved as a result of the sale of land at its Montrose campus in Donnybrook, Dublin.

This so-called ‘opera’ music could catch on, Ryan.


:rolleyes:

Uncharted

Tubbs has tunnel vision regarding his own self indulgent ( at our expense) interests.
His latest hobby horse being Pavarotti and the 'high C'.

:rolleyes:

He has became an utter parody of himself.

He is so far down the 'Alan Partridge rabbit hole, that he's almost back out the other side.

The man is stealing a living...... courtesy of the taxpayer

Money for old rope,while D4rbes decries the lack of investment in her sinking ship.

Time to slaughter off these fatted calves.

F*ckin hell. We've reached peak nadir...(as it were!)
What a load of horsesh*t.
Pop will eat itself - i wish it would.
We need a good ol recession again to clear out this kind of tripe.

Ten seconds in, and no mention of Hillary’s visit to Ireland? :eek:

Odyssey 2005

Its 09.45 and the RTE misery obsession is already in full swing. Hope nobody falls off

Odyssey 2005

Ha ha. The transmitter broke down after she started singing. What a relief

Uncharted

Misery slot.

Blindness.

Intriguing.

Bonkers.

Pavarotti.

Bumble bees.

Peculiar.

That's Tubbs set list for the next month at least...
What a total pro.

amlinopta

He will hardly last a full month before the next break, I think Maggie said she would be back in July. Already planning the download of the audio book for the holidays.

California Dreamer

Tubbs will tell us what we should be reading this summer.....turns off radio!

Gwynplaine

Books books books books books, and a snide comment about a Kindle, more books, books and more books.

It’s become a crutch for him.

Ramble at length about books to waste time.

Beats putting effort in

“Ya know if ya want to cheer yourself up do yourself a favour and get along to toy story 4”

Such inane nonsense

He must be on a retainer from Pavarotti's and Toy Story's people.

He usually is a cheerleader for whatever the latest mainstream movie is out.

Trump, sweets, Beatles, Toy Show. The radio has gone out the window.

Odyssey 2005

Literally just turned on the radio, Tubbs first words "we have two wonderful authors here today".

Immediately turned off the radio again.
