RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

archfi

RT waxing on about his love of election results programs. Which I share with him.

Odd thing I've noticed though - he was just talking of them and only ever mentions US and UK election night programming.

Never as far as I know, does he mention Irish elections (election programming, not his awful partisan takes) which are definitely worth an interest to an Irish audience as RTE do them *very* well. That's the Irish semi-state body he gets 400+k from every year.

Which as he might say himself is bonkers, odd, deliciously weird etc

Late in this morning but the first thing I hear is Tubs talking about “good-do’ers” which he eventually managed to translate into “do-gooders”.

ButtersSuki

Tubs in uber #woke mode this morning.

ButtersSuki

Tubs congratulating himself on his interview with a concentration camp survivor yesterday.

ButtersSuki

“Kate - who is 8 - is great.”

He’s underpaid to be fair, coming out with quality lines and rhymes like that.

ButtersSuki

Obligatory Toy Show mention.

ButtersSuki

Tubs is “intrigued” by a banana bread recipe. Seriously.

ButtersSuki

Tubs hasn’t the foggiest idea who Paul Hollywood is talking about - even though that person is an American. Bonkers.

Won’t touch the subject as ultimately they’re his paymasters but you can expect lots of commentary from Tubs and Duffy when SF inevitably win the next election.

ButtersSuki

Tubs is on fire this morning - he just said “dough” (meaning currency) to Paul Hollywood…..where else would you get this lyrical dexterity and wordplay - and this after “Kate - who is 8 - is great”. Watch out Eminem, the ToyMan is coming for you.

Pelvis Parsley

Paul Hollywood is KIND.

The kind of lad who left his wife and ran off with a barmaid.

Amazed Ichabod didn't mention THAT.

ButtersSuki

Tubs is hardly going to talk about leaving your wife and kids given his past.

ButtersSuki

Ffs that’s not boxty Tubs.

Ah yeah, I was more talking about the election night coverage RTE put on - he's full of praise for the BBC for UK elections and CNN🤡 etc for the US but not a word for RTE in Ireland!

Nightmare for Radio Wan in the latest JNLR. All their shoite daytime shows are down!!!! But the "fees" will still be paid.

JNLR figures: RTÉ Radio 1 shows shed listeners by the thousands as station chief blames post-pandemic return to work - Independent.ie

Paid? They’ll be increased…..there’s a cost of living crisis at the moment don’t you know? You try surviving on €500,000 a year and see how you like it.

SACK TUBRIDY......NOW!

As expected, rte website frames the new figures from a completely different angle:

HOW VERY DARE YOU 😞

NIMAN

Just looking at those JLNR figures.

Morning Ireland has 451,000 daily.

Tubs has 344,000 daily.

So that means up to 107,000 people actively make the decision to turn off/over after MI and before Tubs starts.

Says a lot about his appeal.

More promotion for the delicious Allen family and their intriguing mischief so to speak, but all hail Ballymaloe!

ButtersSuki

Tubs can’t get his head around the fact that a normal working week is 40, and not 6 hours.

ButtersSuki

Tubs faking astonishment at €80.000. He takes that home every 2 months basically.

ButtersSuki

Text from listener who is dancing along to the music. Next up, text from 6’4” tattooed rugby playing truck driver saying he had to pull in to the side of the road to cry when Tubs inevitably gets to the misery section.

I heard him mention such a person this last couple of weeks did I not?

Said they had pulled into a service station but had to wait for their tears to dry before getting out of car?

I'm not sure Mr fireman realises he's on for tubs fix of misery,

Play along Mr fireman and give Tubs a gory story

Also, it's important to note that the news at 9am is included in the Tubridy Show JNLR number. I think people hold on for that before switching to something else. I'd love to see the difference in listeners between the first and second quarter hours of the programme.

There's 2 regular (imaginary) texters (i.e. "texts" "sent" 🙄 from the producers or maybe a talent agency or God knows one of the superfanbots on here) and they can be surmised as follows:

1. Upbeat "I'm dancing around the table" text complimenting the host on his choice of music - even though he's stated he doesn't pick the music for the show as that would presumably be too much work
2. Sad face emoji "I had to pull in off the motorway to cry" text after Tubs reads out a sad story, the daily misery section, or after an interview in which Tubs managed to get tears from the interviewee. This text is usually finished off with "and I'm a 6'4" tattooed rugby playing hard man who never cries" or words to that effect

Both are as real as the following statement "Joe Duffy is an incredibly hardworking man". What's as shocking as their regularity is the complete lack of imagination that goes into them, the "texts" change so little it's just pure laziness. Put a little effort into them will you?

Easy 10min filler at the end of the show.

My gawd-his listeners have all the intellectual calibre of Winnie the Pooh.

NIMAN

Duffy and D'Arcy, along with DriveTime and Morning Ireland, will have covered it all by the time it gets to 9:05am tomorrow.

But I'm sure he'll do his best.

And he has the biggest advantage of having a TV show that he can do a 'special' on.

Beasty

A load of reports of inappropriate commentary. I am closing this thread until a local mod can get to it, or if there are none around I'll have a look through myself

Beasty

A load of posts actioned and deleted

Do some of you guys really think it is OK to make fun out of Vicky Phelan's death? Grow up the lot of you

I'm re-opening this thread. Any more such commentary will be met with pointed sanctions and threadbans, as will abuse of the presenter

I’m not a regular listener to the show, but caught it this morning in the car. Tubs is the presenter of the 9am slot on the country’s most popular radio station, and it would be remiss of him not to mention the life of the pioneering Vicky Phelan; a woman he had interviewed multiple times. I felt his piece was genuine and heartfelt, and entirely the sort of thing you’d expect of him.
