RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

gormdubhgorm

After full and frank discussions with a radio moderator, I was kindly permitted to create this thread.
It is intended for genuine discussion of the program content. Focusing on the content of the show. It is not a parody thread.

There is already a parody thread which excellently discusses the presenter and his mannerisms in forensic detail.
The parody thread is for individuals who take a keen interest in those matters who may or may not enjoy the show. It is a thread where there is an ironic/satirical/vindictive look at the presenter, his speech patterns, mannerisms, his wages, memes.freebie lists, and so on. With the utmost endeavour.

See below:

‘The Toyman: a wry look at the Ryan Tubridy Show’


https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=115898166


Although that thread is superbly done on those aspects (and is the clearly the heir apparent to the satirical cultural behemoth in the boards.ie radio section) -
This thread here is not intended for that type of satirical discussion.

It is intended to move away from that ‘personality’ based discussion and focus on the actual content of the show. Rather than the distraction of a ‘personality’ based discussion which prevails in the parody thread above.

When I say discussion I do not mean simple one liners. It would be nice if posters backed up why they hold the viewpoint.
I trust any moderator will objectively view this thread in its appropriate light on the basis of its intent. It is hoped that this thread will be a more welcoming one for those posters who listen to the show, and wish to discuss its content and/or topics. Away from the satirical type of discussion.

There was mention today of the Stella Cinema in Ranelagh and Keem Bay on Achill Island Beach in Achill in Mayo. For their ascetics. I suppose you call it a nice bit of escapism given the times that are in it.

Bit of trivia about a Churchill painting owned by FDR and found its way to Brad Pitt. Pitt got the Churchill bug after his part in the film Inglorious Bastards. Personally I was always mixed on that film to be honest. If I remember it was a bit on the long side.

The Arás got a new Dog apparently I am not sure the Dogs name was mentioned. It is the same breed as the other dog that is already there - Bród.
Likely an Irish name I suppose. It was a filler bit really building up to the Peig discussion

Personally, I was not too keen on the interview with yer wan from TG4 who is doing a show about Peig Sayers. Peig can feck off as far as I am concerned!

I enjoyed the conspiracy theories bit interesting discussion with a fella called Stephen Murphy - the marketing Prof who studied it. Best bit of the show in my opinion. Shame it was only tagged on the end for a few minutes.

Echoes of all social media and even this format! Mentions of status and reputation within a 'community' people who think the same with their conspiracies. Resulting in its spread basically a creation of a perfect storm. Built on frustration, isolation, and external pressures.

I thought there was a decent flow to the show. Took his time to get motoring though maybe spend a bit too long on the cinema stuff. Too much time given to the Peig discussion imo, and not enough time given to why people believe in conspiracy theories.

Well done on getting this thread set up!!! Not an easy task I would wager given the prevailing tenor of posts and what is allowed be posted in the Radio forum.

I enjoy the 10-15 minutes I hear of a morning before I start work. A little bit of adult radio as opposed to the children and childish ‘bantz’ on RTE’s second radio station.

Always found it odd that Peig Sayers’ work got some grief for, allegedly, being somewhat embellished but that charlatan Frank McCourt still gets praised and lauded.

Peig always looked upon her own life with positivity and humour, thankful to God for the smaller mercies etc. However, to me, as a teenager, not the most inspirational

That was Churchill's old euphemism for depression.

Indeed it was, but Tubridy thought it was referring to an actual dog!

The insurance company dog, I'd say.

I wonder will a certain good egg now be labeled as a bad egg?

NIMAN

He actually sounds like a man who has run out of things to waffle about.

dvcireland

after footage form GE's private bar?

ButtersSuki

Yeah, like you were at a disco.

NIMAN

Come On Eileen is an awful song.

Unless he has Kevin Rowland on the LLS as a guest, in which case it's a fantastic song.

Fake student email.
Every waking minute indoors to comply with restrictions. The restrictions allow you to leave the house.

ButtersSuki

“It’s a pandemic, you can’t have a party”

Unless it’s a retirement party in RTÉ.

PieOhMy

Sounds class.

If you YouTube the galway rag week particulary boisterous events from a few years ago you might spot yours truly !!

It was an impromptu party in limerick ryan so therefore it's ok by rtes own standards. You havnt a leg to stand on. Fake email KLAXON

dvcireland

who the **** composed that email?

bmorrissey

C'mon, if you were in college you would be at any of them houseparties.....i would anyway

ButtersSuki

Here comes the propaganda!

Sir Oxman

'Just that last push'
where the hell have I heard that one before.
Shut up. Shut up. Shut up, ya fool.

NIMAN

Making promises again about opening up.

Has he not learnt his lesson from before?

Bryan would have you believe a student in UL wrote it last night whilst lamenting the partying behaviour of their peers.

Clearly it was written by a staffer or one of the producers. Part of me wonders does Tubs actually know they’re fake, or does he think they’re real.

PieOhMy

Trying and failing to simultaneously say that some statues are ****e but also not offending the sculpture

ButtersSuki

Not just promoting this week’s “beautiful” Late Late, we’re now promoting a future one. 2 beautifuls no less.

The fact that a late late might be on a Wednesday and not a friday seems to absolutly boggle the mind of rte staff.

ButtersSuki

Enormously over-emphasized THAT.

NIMAN

Does he do any prep at all?

He reads like he is seeing these pieces for the 1st time ever.

Or maybe he isn't a very eloquent reader.

ButtersSuki

Bryan’s idea of democracy is everyone agreeing with his opinions.

PieOhMy

Ryan associates crowds with sweat.

It's been mentioned in connection with going to matches, concerts and now discos.

It's what he thinks while looking down from the free ticket corporate box like Göth.

VERY strange Bryan wouldn’t say goodbye to a parting colleague and all round good egg isn’t it? No retirement party?

It’s almost like they’re trying to erase history already.

I wonder why?

Sir Oxman

RTE is now the official Lives of Others outlet for the Sta(si)te.
In some cases only.

PieOhMy

It's been mentioned a few times that he listens to Conans podcast frequently ( he called him his 'friend' after interviewing him badly once over zoom).

This can only be a positive development as if he doesnt have the self awareness to wonder why Conan is so good and interviews and what can be done to improve maybe some good traits will rub off on him accidentaly.

CH3OH

Has anyone mentioned Sonia's statue?

He does in his hoop. If he listened to Conan regularly he’d resign.

I’m out. Well done to any of you who make it to 9:58

Dublin writer talking about tech (american accent - we all know where this is going).

Freewheeling from now untill 10, and out of control gibberish from 9 untill now has got us here. Serious money invoiced for this utter rubbish today. Would rather listen to the limerick party clip on a loop for an hour. I guess that could easily happen on liveline later if Duffy gets a hold of the clip. I'm out.

Topic was bad statues - I think 2 or 3 nice statues were mentioned. Pointless topic to bring up as he wont say anything negative.

mistersifter

The latter part of the show should be sub-titled "People Who Agree With Me" .

bmorrissey

Does she have a book? Never would have known

Also Google caused the rent increase in dublin...confirmed

CH3OH

I can't believe that she is still on!

NIMAN

Intriguing

mistersifter

he wants more punk!! Tubridy is the least punk fella that ever existed!

Imagine him interviewing the Sex Pistols in their day.

CH3OH

Ryan partying...... beyond my imagination

Sir Oxman

Ryan checking that the student who rings into his quiz didn't go to any house parties.

'You know you'll be able to soon, dontcha?'
He's unbearable.
