RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

Will Ryan be suitably dressed for his promenade along the pier today?

PieOhMy

Less than 5 mins in - Hamilton and Trump. This could have been a show from any time in the last few years.

Surely you are a Joycean scholar, Ryan!

Confidant of a FULL AUDIENCE in September for LLS. :rolleyes:

We were already told that audience would be fully front line workers. We were also gauranteed foreign holidays in Q1 2021.

Gorgeous school?!

What's with these school visits? I thought he was a full time broadcaster? Who's inviting him and why?

Who really cares if there is an audience or not at the LLS in September?

The show is rubbish, and an audience ain't going to save it.

Ryan needs to realise people's lives don't revolve around the LLS or the Toy Show. Just because his does.

He invited himself to the first one I recall.

Why is everything so obvious for this chap?

Obviously obviously obviously!

The lack of audience is a huge deal for him it seems. Even though it doesn't make a huge difference to the audience it feels different for him from what he is used to. The fact that it's a very very very minor change for the viewers is not something that would come into his head in a million years, the viewers don't actually matter, it's all about the people involved in making the late late show and how they feel / get paid. Viewer experience clearly hasn't mattered for a long long time.

Couldn't agree more. Well actually i could. I rarely if ever watch it. Full of emptiness and colleagues and all sorts of nothing. There is a sense of self importance about him and it. Constantly harping on about it. Who gives a shiit?

PieOhMy

Maybe he wants an audience back so much coz he and the other staff get a taste of all the free items used in promos for the audience....

Mena Mitty

A few home truths posted on the thread this morning above.

He thinks the LL with himself at the helm and the Toy show are the best things since sliced bread.

He's been mentioning 'Hamilton' a lot this past while, he must be considering it as a theme for the LLTS with himself centre stage.

This going around to schools thing is weird. His obsession with schools and his school days is weirder.

He seems to have created this persona of a man who is so interested in schooling and kids, because you know, books. He likes books too, in case you haven't heard him mention it. Same as some kids who read. And you know, kids would be better off if they put down the phone or tablet and read a book.

And our Ryan is leading the campaign.

Brendan Bendar

What about the popcorn?

And the Coke?

The school visits:

1. Help him build brand Toyman.
2. Makes it seem like he does something resembling work after 10am.
3. Is a handy, ego-booster of a gig where he can swan in and have a fuss made about him. Nobody will ask any difficult questions. Just show up and tell kids to read. They're happy cos they saw the fella off the tele and he feels great about himself and has something to waffle about the next morning.

NIMAN

Jez, he really sounds like he is dialling it in this morning.

Sounds very sleepy. Severe lack of enthusiasm.

PieOhMy

90% of Ryan's life is what most people do on their days off. He must have the constitution of a mouse as he was making out he was on the verge of a breakdown from overwork two weeks ago.

NIMAN

This programme quality is like something you'd expect from a guy transmitting a radio station from his mum's bedroom.

Just basically chatting to himself about nothing.

He didn't get enough time to recharge the batteries it seems.


"why do I bother?" Ryan says.

You dont bother, Ryan. Ever.

PieOhMy

He is genuinely bothered by people not liking his "recomendation".

NIMAN

So Kellie Harrington is one of his most favourite people ever.

I can guarantee he has never seen one of her fights.

NIMAN

I'm out, this is tedious stuff.

PieOhMy

This is turning into liveline with the gross amount of time dedicated to the host's pet topics. I can't even imagine how the conversation goes after the broadcast ends. Plenty of sucking up and looking for invites and freebies I would bet good money on. A few dozen people max in Ireland care about Hamilton but sure **** the audience like, Ryan likes it so that's all that matters really. I suppose we should be grateful it isn't the mother of a child that died on Christmas day or something like that.

This is weird

I'm sitting here listening to this show, for the first time in my life. I have absolutely no time for this man, on TV. So I thought, maybe he's simply better suited to radio. Well, in my opinion, he's simply not suited to broadcasting at all. I've struggled to get the gist of anything he's talking about (granted I'm only listening with one ear, so to speak, and reading the paper at the same time).

I'm tempted to actually do a transcript of it, just to see in black and white the broken speech which suggests no preparation for his presentation, which leads to hesitation and changes mid sentence.

On the other hand, I won't be listening again, so why bother. I really believe that almost anyone could walk in off the street and do as 'good' a job, and probably many would be far better.

The news just came on as I'm typing, and I can follow what's happening, even while writing this post.

Back to Newstalk for me.

glenfieldman

Got a warning for comparing this guy to a broadcaster from the UK who also has a fascination with death and visiting schools and hospitals
But other posters can basically say what they want
I didn’t say he was a peado, he is sick in the head

Today when I lost the will to go on, I switched over to Newstalk to take in the PK show, and it was a refreshing change.

It was nice to hear a host who was articulate, intelligent and who asked good questions. It was night and day between his show and the hospital radio quality host on RTE getting 500k per year for his talent.

Not sure what his point was? It's too early to talk about the toyshow? But he has already mentioned it every month this year himself. I think he was trolling us.

PieOhMy

Clearly has no idea what happened in the Denmark - Finland match. Actually embarrassed for him.

NIMAN

Yeah he laughed and mentioned June, as if its too early to talk about it.
He is trolling us for sure.

Was too busy watching Kellie Harrington fights.;)

PieOhMy

He must have some auto search feature for ,"death" set up on his browser to scrape the Internet for "death" and "sad memory" every morning. Why not just talk about funny things on Google Street View like a normal person and not images from beyond the grave like so demented ghoul.

PieOhMy

Here we go now. Usually Fergal Darcy territory but we are heading for "memories of sweets from your childhood" territory

Back when we were all messers at school.

I'd say he was the teacher's pet. Couldn't see him leaving a bogie on the teacher's chair for a laugh....the kinda thing messers do on a quiet day.

Dead people on Google street view.

I've heard it all now
