Embarrassing.

PieOhMy

The people at home who can't see the audience don't care if its there or not Ryan. Only you care about that. After the guts of a year a well paid professional like yourself should have adapted to no audience by now. There is the same tense, morgue like atmosphere in every interview you attempt regardless of audience or not.

Gwynplaine

Toy Show, Toy Show, Toy Show. Sure it's only 6 months til Christmas. Intriguing.
THAT.

PieOhMy

When Ryan says "all because of you" to the audience whT I think he means is "all because of me"

sligojoek

Beacon of light and kindness.

Gwynplaine

His car is now a metaphor for the pandemic

archfi

Oh please SHUT UP about 'just a little more push' covid crap sermon.

PieOhMy

We were gauranteed to go on foreign holidays in Q1 so not sure why the expert Ryan isn't continuing to make his proclamations.

PieOhMy

I'd say Daithi intimidates Ryan no end. Daithi is everything Ryan wants to be in terms of broadcasting.

Just shows those Range Rovers or whatever he has, can be crap.

It was an Austin Maxi, Ryan, not a Mini.

PieOhMy

You are mistaken Ryan it wasn't a mini in faulty towers. Pure chancer. If someone texts in to say it was an Austin he would mock them with the weird voice he puts on. This is a guy who claims to be anti bullying.

Lol the voice wasn't done but it does bother him to be corrected. Thin skin. Get off the text machine Ryan it's full of rotters and meanies.

Gwynplaine

Cark

mistersifter

"You should all be walking tall and holding your heads high this morning". He forgot to add "and that's not patronising".

Also: mentions a study saying a low stress lifestyle counteracts grey hair. Then boasts about not having any grey hair. He is living proof of that research anyway!

Elmo

Did he just do nearly a whole show on the Toy Show!

we're 6 months out let the Countdown begin

Just to clear up the car id.

The car Basil Fawlty "thrashed" was an Austin 1100 Countryman which was an estate car version of the 1100.

Pelvis Parsley

Correct.

He had a Maxi, or at least the wife did, in the second season.

I was chatting with an old English man on holidays and that’s the type of manufacturing he sees Britain returning to after brexit

Wishful thinking I'd say.

More likely importing from India and China.

Pity they lost their car industry really. The Mini, ADO 16 and Maxi were good cars but then it all went wrong.

sligojoek

Some, or most of, the best cars in the world came out of England.

From the Mini to the RR and many in between. Pity about the rust and the industrial relations. They did the best with what they had at the time.

Very soon I'm hoping to see the unveiling of a MKII Jag that has been restored after 10 years, many of them in England. Other than the owner I'll be the first person to drive it as I was the only one who kept asking, "How's the Jag coming along?" long after everyone else had stopped.

PieOhMy

Don't pretend you watched a "gruesome and macabre" documentary because of the compelling style the director uses Ryan. We all know you are into gruesome stories of personal loss and actively enjoy them.

Self proclaimed fan of films and also the best paid media broadcaster in the nation has absolutely no idea about the latest release in one of the top grossing series of all time and biggest post pandemic release. He also has not gotten a blind bit of interest in sport or made any type of effort to learn about it and his "interest" in American politics only goes as far Trump. Pure phoney. The man's a fake.

sligojoek

Just turned on the radio

Death.

Time for Pat Kenny.

i'd give him a pass on that one


but i take it he hasn't mentioned "in the earth" either

To be fair there is a lot riding on F9 being a success. Flopping would be bad news for theaters

I don't mean it as in he should like those movies, or even be interested in them, everyone is entitled to their own tastes. I think in a more over arching sense to at least be aware of it as it is the biggest post pandemic blockbuster release and also as a professional broadcaster some awareness of what it happening in the world outside of Hamilton or Trump.
I think it would could be useful when interviewing people who aren't terminally ill if the host has some vague awareness of what if going on in the mainstream world in terms of sport and entertainment. It would make the host seem more like a normal person and may allow a raport to develop and alleviate any sense of sheer terror and panic that occurs if the guest beings to stray from topics that haven't been written on a cue card beforehand.

Absolutely, there is one thing not knowing much about Tik Tok, the Kardashians, F9, or Minecraft/Robolex.
But there are all part of the cultural zeigiest. To feign no knowledge of them is just ignorance.

He reminds me of Peter Capaldi in Peep Show. Pretending he has never heard of Four Weddings and. A Funeral.

Is it that you consider it wrong to feign having no knowledge of those things but it is ok to have no knowledge?

Its a little bit of both. We pick up a lot of pop culture through osmosis. I've never watched Game Of Thrones or a Fast and Furious film. I've never watched anything with the Kardashians .But I know about them. And have a rudimentary understanding of them.

I think Ryan like Capaldi in the clip is feigning ignorance.

If he had any of the cast in the late late. He would be falling over himself telling them how much he loves the FF movies.


Edit: Sorry I got my first Covid vaccine shot today and I am a little discombobulated.

"I can't watch Line of Duty, it's on during reading time."

Yes I agree that we pick stuff up by osmosis but I have only a rudimentary knowledge of one of the four examples you gave.

I know that Robert Kardashian was OJ Simpson's lawyer and his family had some sort of TV show.

I think that in these days of information overload people chose to ignore things as a kind of strategy to preserve head space for the things they are interested in.

I wouldn't regard that as ignorance but more as a legitimate personal choice.

Of course a feigned or affected lack of knowledge is a different matter.

edit- just saw your edit. Chill and take it easy if you can.

Pelvis Parsley

The minute the Ross O'Carroll Kelly guy mentioned his dead brother, Tubridy was all over it like a rash.

He's one sick individual.

Elmo

Julian Clary was on TLLS a few years back, introduced as a comedian, and had been a guest of both Gay Byrne and Pat Kenny AFAIK. Audience expect it to be light. intro done, Julian mentions the carpet, a bit of a laugh, Tubs "So tell about that time you lost your partner" or something like that, audience titters. Julian holds his hands out, as if to say this isn't going to be a funny story. The rest of the interview as depression all round. I always wonder how guests feel after bad interviews.

Pelvis Parsley

He must have developed a reputation on the "circuit" at this stage.

I remember Jimmy Carr ripping the piss out of PK years ago for kind of the same thing-but this lad has taken it to a whole other level.

NIMAN

I'd say not only is he trying to create the persona of "The Toyman", but he's probably angling for the "Agony Uncle" of the country too.

whatever he's trying it's not working in the bigger sense, but in terms of listeners for some reason it is

archfi

RTE Government broadcast is back with a bang.

"Read the book that makes you happy". Goes on to criticise someone's choice of book and calls it pretentious...
