What happened?

He asked a ten year old about her two year old sister. The sister has down syndrome and a heart condition. He then asked her about the heart condition.

Then asked her about her sisters heart surgery and to explain what the procedure involved.

In hysterics once again at an animal being killed...

He's spent the last 25 minutes talking verbal diarrhea to two kids. RTEs highest paid star is it?
400k a year? Afraid to lose this national treasure to the BBC? Does Dee Forbes ever listen to the content of her own employees shows?

Edit: jesus, here comes Macca now.

i predict we do not make the eurovision final

My soul is a map, my heart is a compass
I am the road
There's only one way to go
This is the way back home
My soul is a map, my heart is a compass
I am the road
There's only one way to go
This is the way back home

He's a sick man.

Ryan appealing to ne’er do wells and miscreants to engage in civil discourse rather than shooting rockets in people’s faces. Jolly good.

Not many RTÉ actors had to work for deliveroo during lockdown I suspect........

ButtersSuki

Books for just the second time this morning.

A handsome win for the rugby chaps.

Thanks indeed for THAT.

Second “handsome” of the day. Quickly followed by the third.

Funny how Ryan didn’t repeat his earlier view that Italy shouldn’t be in the tournament at all!

Show started late this morning as new over-ran, and yet Bryan still ran out of waffle at just 9:15. Intriguing.

Proof, yet again, that he now just wings the programme.

Lazy, lazy broadcasting for which we are paying eye watering sums of money.

dvcireland

they should make a more realistic Eircode ad:

"..im on the bordwalk covered in my own puke and faeces..."

Sir Oxman

Don't peter out your patter when replying to a texter saying not everyone behaved like scummers, Ryan.
Of course that's all you saw - the firework and abuse at the top of the line because that's all that was shown.
Narratives, narratives!
PS I wouldn't be a supporter of violent protests or both extremes that take advantage of any protest in this country.

I'm surprised he didn't rehash last week's intriguing anecdote about seeing a crow eating a discarded bag of chips.

He really outdid himself that day in the inane waffle stakes.

Did I hear Toyman call himself the Bookman this morning.

What did he do with the book clearout ?? Recycle bin ?? All the charidee shops are closed.

I'd say quiet a few of those books he gets sent are signed by the authors.

New contender for the most inane time wasting story hes come up with so far. The provenance of a painting. A British 'upperclass' painting aswell.

Plenty of stories down Monto way in olde Dubalin town.


Perhaps a bukeen 'Patrick and the Scarla wimmin'

For me Tubridys association with the famine reminds me of Göth at the start of schidlers list when he is on the balcony of his mansion overlooking the camp.

dvcireland

i remember watching inglorious bastards and feeling underwhelmed

Half heard that but did Ryan completely miss the fact thay the big black dog is for depression? And not just a story about an actual dog.

Surely to jesus I've picked that up wrong.

TheHomeService

From what I heard (I was only half listening) Tubridy doesn’t appear to know that Churchill’s Black Dog was how he referred to his depression.

Bloody hell, he’s not as well read as he claims.

That's just tragic.

Really embarrassed for him is all I can be. In terms of literature education I have gone as far as the english leaving cert and even I picked up on it.

That's so awkward for him honestly. This facade of a persona is little more than skin deep.


Edit: just to clarify I'm not embarrassed for him that he didnt know something. That's completely fine and its terrible to behave snobbish or look down on anyone ever. I'm well aware in the grand scheme of things I'm probably an absolute redneck but I'm out here doing my best and not making myself out to be anything else.

What I'm embarrassed for him over is that his facade was so flimsy and lightweight. His persona of being bookish and well read has had another light shone on it it and it's been shown up. I doubt he even read the book tbh. He got caught out in his lies actually like billy big balls (billy big books)

NIMAN

I am totally convinced that he 'reads so many books' by reading in depth reviews of them online.

If you did that, you could very easily pass yourself off as having read it.

I have no doubt he does read some books but not anywhere near as many as he claims. But he is trying to create a persona of an educated, well read, intelligent, I'm smarter than you guy.

And fails.

Word of the day: rabbit hole

generalgerry

So as opposed to interviewing one of the people to find out what they think, you bring on a college professor to tell us why they are wrong. This is where modern journalism has got to.

Gaybo often referred to depression as being colloquially called the Black Dog, how it followed people around who suffered from it such that they couldn't easily shake it off.

Hey hey mama said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove
Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.

That was Churchill's old euphemism for depression.

Although to be fair the children of diplomats who go to school here are excused from having to learn the language.

I noticed this. He has said a few times he'd love to learb Irish.

It's all part of his fantasy of being seen as a scholarly and cultured fellow, who's in touch with his Connemara roots. A bit like when he says he'd love to be able to play piano like Billy Joel.

the reality is that the work involved in learning an instrument or a language even to an intermediate level is far beyond anything he is prepared to do. It requires genuine interest, dedication and graft in the thing.

He's a poor man's Walter Mitty is all.
