He's unreal! He was very quick to catch himself there and backtrack after calling a book 'utter rubbish'!

PieOhMy

Is this a sponsored ad for sinead o connors book?

PieOhMy

Can't take this any more. Those that manage to stay on get ready for more Hamilton chat for the next 5 or 6 months. This guy gets the captive audience alright but his persona is incredibly transparent, fake and hypocritical. A poor broadcaster at best.

I was expecting the butthole surfers

Toy Show, Books, Trump, Cancer and Kindness, looks like the full house this morning.

I've joined you too.
Have given up on him, couldn't listen to the same stuff every single day.

I will tune in the odd day to hear if he has changed the record, but I don't have expectations. His audience seems to be happy with the same 5 subjects every day.

He shoehorns in a reference most days, maybe a reference back to last year's, mention of plans for this year, or a call out for some of his young friends from the show by name. In today's case, he had visited Nimble Fingers in Stillorgan yesterday, the place where the Toy Show really began all those years ago, or something along those lines.

Biden can bomb away like he did yesterday on the borders of Syria and Iraq and not a bit of notice will be taken by our "media" and the likes of Tubbs.. Oh look over there Trump bad bad man

NIMAN

I just heard the latest promo for his radio show....and guess what it features?


Yip, death.

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

The irony of this was gas. He was criticizing someone else for being a book snob while looking down on the same person's choice of reading.

The book he disliked was more intellectual that his own fodder so he assumes that the reader is purely trying to present themselves as an intellectual and isn't really getting any enjoyment from the book. He nearly gave away who that person was, and I'm sure the person will recognise themselves if they hear him.

I would guess that seeing someone else reading something that is challenging and requires a proper attention span made him feel like an inferior class of bookworm, hence his disapproval.

Then, as you say, he contradicts himself a few minutes later by stating that people should read whatever they like without feeling the need to live up to others' expectations.

Like so much of what he says, it just doesn't add up and he ends up tripping up over his own waffle when his real self is revealed. Same with the social media comments, as PieOhMy said, and the same with the calls for privacy while also promoting the shít out of tabloids.

So much of what he says is just trying to play up to some image or other. IMO that is what makes him so unlikable - his total lack of authenticity.

Pelvis Parsley

That, and the stark reality that manipulating interviews and programme content in order to extract as much misery as possible is neither GORGEOUS, DELICIOUS, or KIND.

NIMAN

I think so much of our Ryan is fake, including his persona he has created.

Mena Mitty

That's some walkabout he was on. Meeting his subjects.

It's been wall to wall Covid on MI.
Could he not give us a break for an hour?

Are these real people texting in? Saying they're OK with keeping shut if they're saving lives?

At this stage now, after the worlds longest lockdown and the vast majority of the vulnerable vaccinated, any business owner agreeing with the continuation of their closure must be insane (or not a real person texting in?)

in Italy been drunk in public is social suicide.

Yep, my friend, they are real.

Think a little please, I know it’s tough on the businesses, but it would be even tougher if the Covid rose up again and overwhelmed the hospitals.

Here’s the thing …. The reason that Communions and Confirmations being ‘banned’ is not the ceremony but the ‘party’ afterwards where Pat will gannet down copious pints and ignore social distancing, masks, contact, and end up in a ‘sing-song back in the gaff.

We need to remember that………a chara.

Here's the thing .... are there no other points of view ?

And have we not made sure that the hospitals won't be overwhelmed? I mean we've had a year and a half.

Many talking about pubs re-opening and the like not much talk about the return of normal hospital services.

If this was the concern of the Government then all children's/adults birthday parties etc. would be cancelled as well.
They are just enjoying using their power cancelling these ceremonies and they know there will be little backlash as everyone likes to give the Catholic church a good kicking.

Possibly someone who knows their business has gone to the wall because of lockdown, and doesn't want to face reopening/ creditors. There is a bit of that around. Especially in the restaurant trade, where margins were already ridiculously tight pre-Covid.

Firms lose most of those artificial supports when they reopen, so you can figure out why a minority are against it.

These 2 find themselves absolutely hilarious, very off putting

If you seriously believe that, you have issues

On the death of Donald Rumsfeld:

"They don't say what he died of.... but he's very much dead"

A real class act, he seems to feel aggrieved that he wasn't informed if the reasons a man died. What a ghoul.

Ash.J.Williams

Horsing into the speed this morning

PieOhMy

This is amateur radio. Pretending to be in fits of giggles. Is this ment to be light hearted to make up for the regular dredging the pits of human misery?

A sport Tubridy finally watched - Wimbledon! I have a feeling an email was sent to the organisers from the Ryan@rte.ie email address looking for free tickets. Wimbledon, the boat race and ascot would be sporting events I feel like the Toyman would like to attend.

Mena Mitty

Anyone doing a 'Hamilton' mention count ?

Between Hamilton , Rumsfeld, Wimbledon, euros, reading and pottering about on the Vespa I’ve no idea where he gets time to relax

Ash.J.Williams

I went to a mystery movie in the cinema the other night and had no idea what it was going to be , but had decided beforehand that the only movie that would cause me to walkout would be in the heights

As it turned out it was “one more round” and it was delightful

He must power nap between all the trips to the pub that have been mentioned and books that are "read", tv shows and movies that are "watched", schools, museums and bookshops that are visited. This man is carrying more work on his shoulders than anyone else in the state. Don't forget going out for lunch too! Petition for a statue of the Toyman outside rte?

This girl is really grating on the ears.

She's only in the states 6 years and she sounds like she's born and bred there.

To be fair, half the young ones in Ireland have that accent now and more than likely they've spent just a few days shopping in NY and/or are immersed in US streaming & social media.
