Is tubs getting ideas for content from his offspring?

Has anyone seen th Muppets or Sesame Street on terrestrial television in the last 20 years ?

Maybe it wasn't Covid related

Just a bit of a laugh and a slobbering slurp sound to sign off with. Good stuff Ryan!!!!

The Muppets was on TG4 in the early 2000s.

Elmo got himself a spinoff show which also aired on TG4 around the same time.

Not sure about Sesame Street. I think RTÉ2 might have dropped it in 2000 and had only really had it on and off prior to that.

A number of the Muppet films around Christmas time also.

But when I get back to the office I will talk to Kermit :pac:

Is that a free muppet that was sent to Ryan? I didn't hear

Yep. The other day he asked people to buy him a 60 grand original muppet that is being auctioned. He said it was too expensive to buy (about six weeks wages for him - cant be havin to pay that like!)

It was a weird little joke that referred to his love of free stuff. Some artistic kid heard it and sent him in a handmade muppet toy, which Tubridy is chuffed with.

The only thing is he forgot to say his trademark freebie line, so I'll say it for him:

It's one of the privileges of the job!:cool:

Aw that's really nice. The deserving charity to which that freebie is passed on to will no doubt make some deserving child very happy. We truly are seeing kindness at work.

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?

....and the stroll along the Pier with the kiddies giving chase crying out 'Mommy Mommy it's the Toyman' and 'Toyman Toyman you're the best'

Pelvis Parsley

I found today's freebie of the day particularly ironic.

PieOhMy

Trolls are bullys. I think Ryan Tubridy is also a bully. Just two days ago he said an actor "has an odd little head on him". Bullying behaviour.

Tenacious D are an absolute disgrace

I agree with him on that, a comedy band doing a cover of a song is only gonna be a bit of fun.

He's basically gentry, a man of leisure -- fishing, reading books, amusing himself with the affairs of the locals, and offering advice on their conduct.
I don't begrudge it from him, we would all take his job; I certainly wouldn't have him on the radio any longer than is strictly necessary, though.

His listeners, in his defence, are tuning-in in ever-greater numbers.

in the olden days he would be the local vicar, boring the local people with his endless sermons

At least Bertie could be talking to Gussie Fink-Nottle about newts.

Bertie wouldn't be one for giving sermons. He was no angel.

Pop the suitcases into the old Wooster 2 seater and zoom down the country to annoy some young one for two weeks.

Lads if tubs was gentry he’d be hauled in by the kings forces and would spill the beans on all the local rebel activities

Based on his family background you have him all wrong.

His grandfather played a prominent role in the IRA.

War of Independence, Civil War, imprisonment, hunger strike etc.

Todd the former chair of the RTÉ Authority?

Just because your grandfather was a patriot doesn't mean that you don't like the status quo.

Tubs is more FG than he was ever FF.

A lot of those fellows who started out in green military caps ended up in top-hats and tails, quite literally.

Anyway the gentry thing was only a light-hearted remark, it doesn't exist anymore. On a more serious point, I wouldn't ascribe anything to a person based on how their Grandad felt about the Treaty.

You’re saying Ryan wouldn’t crack under pressure of an imperial regime ? They were particularly brutal you know

Bellbottoms

Hasn't Ryan repeatedly brought up meeting the queen and his past links to Megan Markle.

Mad for royalty so is our Ryan.

PieOhMy

Have heard parts of dave fannings weekend show the last few weekends while driving around. I didn't really like or dislike fanning before but I have to say it's very easy listening. Dave and some other contributer on going through some of the weeks stories and quirky events like normal people, some interesting little stories that have clearly been preped beforehand and flow nicely and two people discussing them in a normal, fast paced, light hearted manner. It's everything Tubridy show wants to be but isn't. A production team / host who are willing to put forth more than the absolute bare bare bare bare minimum and a host who is able to communicate and build a rapport with normal people and doesn't ooze tension from every pore.

I think we can all agree that if we are reflecting on historical sides Ryan would be on that he would be Vichy France through and through?

PieOhMy

2nd or 3rd story about Prince Charles and the next story Ryan reveals that he watched the England match on Saturday, a man who famously doesn't enjoy or watch any sport, apart from his very favourite boxer Kellie Harrington. And oh ya the next story about his enjoyment of Wimbledon and the English player who has gotten through to the fourth round.

If tubs had 10 mins of fannings show daily he’d have a much better show

If he was alive at the time he would have been like most of the wealthy and middle classes condemned the IRA.

Little debate about the actual show again today.

Sad to say, but it looks like Ryan has turned most of the listeners here off his show, and this thread will probably fade away naturally.
Given its one of RTE 1's flagship shows, not good to see.

fiachraX

Nobody noticed that Ryan's from the UK now?

It was in the first 5-6 mins, when he was going through the papers and specifically the story about the Welsh guy who set up a JustGiving page for the German girl who cried when England beat them.
In Ryan's account, setting it up showed "that not everyone from the UK is horrible and that we care".

I guess when the presenter is being criticised on the basis of what he might have done 100 or 80 years ago if he was alive we are indeed rapidly running out of road .

There was an article shared around today about a woman who helped develop the systems that got an Apollo mission home and had to leave to go to hospital and give birth to jack black whilst remaining in contact with the mission from her bed and played a huge role ....

Late late interview
Ryan : “ so your parents are rocket scientists”

Jack black: “huh? No I wouldn’t say rocket scientists

Ryan: next question on the card

Could have been great , probably not his fault , probably researched by an intern on wiki

I suppose he'd be a good hunger striker :eek:

Also you did bring up his family's connection to the war of independence.

July 2021 - "I'm not an expert or a scientist but it all seems a bit hasty" (re England's plans to wind down covid restrictions.

I think 100 years ago he would do well as a hunger striker, and a hundred years on .... oh looking see I know I say it before .... but perhaps your in with a chance to win... who now .... (feigning distraction) :rolleyes:

'We're open for business' he said today as he says often. This is said after his lazy ramblings for a quarter of an hour or more.
As if what is coming up is going to be of great importance.
