Just turned on.

Another fantastic teacher.

Another reheated show.

Shopping local there with the psychologist from St John of Gods Stillorgan on this morning. Ryan's daddy worked there.

In recent days that Twitter is alive with cynicism over the salaries and worth of top-paid presenters, it's massive. Noel Kelly must be very busy preparing his counter-attack, and we can expect to see his influence once again all over the place.

Wow so to speak. That deserves a “TYFYS”.

TheHomeService

Teacher FM, for a change. Plugging an RTE programme of course.

Muintoir Emer, former interviewee (or friend as the Toyman calls her) is now on RTE School Hub.

Bookshops are busy, no doubt because of Tubs.

Free Patricia Gibney book “landed on his desk”.

More Teacher guff.

Cancer.

Death.

PieOhMy

HYPOCRISY ALERT - looking down his nose on people who lied to get ahead on the list for vaccinations. Called them rats. RT is a rat.

Lucrative time for book sellers. Imagine that considering all the free advertising they get daily.

Freebie! Book!

ButtersSuki

The laughter for no reason is particularly nauseating today.

What's the problem with men dressing as women and leaving a sinking ship?
He is applying old standards. Nowadays, we are all equal so a) men get equal rights to the life-raft and a) men can dress as women if they want.

ButtersSuki

I’m out. Well done to those of you who’ll hang around for the misery section after the break.

CH3OH

His story about the overpriced €250 cactus being mad in the current pandemic is comparable to an overpaid presenter earning half a million for a few hours work ( and I use that word WORK very loosely)

Same show nearly every day. As I said before, lazy broadcasting.

Just waiting for a Beatles reference, more teachers, more books and some Americana.

PieOhMy

Think that maybe march would be a good time for something positive on the late late. So another 5 weeks of misery. Not surprising.

Also expect some aids story in the next few weeks. Yayy.

PieOhMy

Trip to dubai for ryan incoming!

generalgerry

Moving on to the more uplifting topic of AIDS now.

Another feckin’ teacher!

How many teachers are there in this country? Tubridy must be on a mission to interview every single one.

Are social services not called for any Traveller kids missing school, as they would with settled kids if they missed school?

generalgerry

The only man I have ever known that apologised in advance of plamásing a person.

A big TYFYS to those who flag the freebies, and the requests.

KevRossi

^ Listened to the first 10 minutes. He sounded a bit disgruntled when some companies were asking how they can send some freebies to Vicky Whelan. It's as if they should send them to RT and he'll decide which ones to send on to her.

barney shamrock

Describing himself and his listenership as "a gang" at the end, lol.

Here's an update on the freebies situation for anyone who wants a laugh.

RTE have responded to complaints about the trend of "send in some free shít" that Tubridy has created on his show.

They are claiming that the many freebies received by Tubridy are either donated to charity or returned to the sender. Apparently none of the gifts are touched by RTE staff

So we are supposed to believe that a presenter who never shuts up about charities has been secretly donating piles of gifts without humble bragging about it on air. No record of the charities that received these donations is available it seems.

And as for the idea that they return many gifts back to the sender. Gas!

They'd probably be chased.

And then travellers will complain the same pathways aren't open to them as settled folk.

But Ryan’s not staff, is he

generalgerry

There is no way that Chaila song should be nominated for song of the year. The only reason it is is because of RTE's woke agenda - The song is basically "all the paddies are racist cos they can't pronounce my name". She certainly shouldn't be getting abuse, but the song has been promoted way above it's station literally because the song's message suits RTE.

Pelvis Parsley

He had a little sigh this morning at the nasty people on the Internet.

Apparently some singer gaslighted on Twitter. She made a thing of asking RTE not to tag her in tweets because she was getting supposedly racist commentary. I don’t know enough about this to pass judgement but I do remember the same individual (Denise Chalia) taking up criticism of her work as being politically motivated. Race cards are great folks, they give you immunity from everything. Including mediocrity.

Anyway, Toyman proceeded to give us a whingy monologue about how talented people shouldn’t have to deal with unkind opinions on social media.

Mango Joe

Hmmmm so Ryan this morning mentions very casually in passing that he has been sent a movie, then he mutters something half under his breath that I didn't quite catch along the lines of it's a privilege.

Then he oddly enough doesn't give any real review of the movie beyond saying its a "fine movie if you like that kind of thing" (????)

Then he seems like he's about to move on...Except he suddenly back-tracks while remembering he's forgotten to mention something and then takes great care to mention this movies release date on the 18th of February.

It's called "The Mauritanian" and while I wasn't previously aware of it's existence, release date and the fact that its being endorsed on radio by Ryan Tubridy at the license payers expense I most certainly am now.

So my question is this, why does Ryan Tubridy not have to declare these things as advertising and if it is an undeclared advertisement or paid promotion where does the money go???

NIMAN

I used to love Imelda May, and she is a fine singer, but she's getting terribly boring to listen to.

Seemed to be an interview to fill space this morning.

Advance copy to drum up some interest amongst the great unwashed.

There advance copies are normally supposed to be only for critics. Given Bryan doesn’t understand movies that aren’t kind or beautiful he may struggle with the subject matter, and that’s before we mention he has appalling taste in movies. A wasted copy.

Be sure to add it to the freebie list.

He said he had received a copy of the film and that this is "one of the privileges of this job" .

Some of the other privileges of the job include :

- not having to do any preparation for the show
- only having to work an hour or two most days
- being able to take months upon months of paid leave every year
- receiving 500, 000 euros per year from the state
- not having to pay income tax fairly

Mentioning that he was sent a screener of the film for review and that it was a “privilege” means that it wasn’t an undeclared advertisement. Also according to you his endorsement didn’t sound anything like a shilled rave review. I’m fairly certain Ryan’s allowed to mention films he’s seen and what he’s thought of them in any case.

You have to be f**king kidding me. Vicky Phelan spends more hours on RTE Radio and TV than most of their presenters.

Author and women's health advocate Vicky Phelan, who has just undergone her first week of experimental cancer treatment in Maryland, will give an update on her progress on Friday night's Late Late Show.

RTÉ's Northern Editor Tommie Gorman will join Ryan Tubridy to discuss Covid-19 and the border issue. He will also recall significant moments from his forty years delivering news reports for RTÉ.

Shane Carthy was a Dublin football prodigy and a highly-skilled midfielder who was called up by Jim Gavin to become a member of the senior team at the age of 18. Since his 5th year in school, Shane had been battling with his mental health and experiencing suicidal thoughts. The footballer will speak to Tubridy about how he got through deeply troubling days.

This is a show that really really badly needs to be shut down. Shut the damned thing down, halve Tubridy's wages, and give us all a break from the misery on Friday nights.

God its desperate, I don't watch it but I allways see the line-up on line, there's allways at least 2 items on some disease, mental health or that godsend for rte the covid or the like, for heavens sake can they not give it a rest of a friday night just before bed when people are winding down after an already stressful week these days, believe me even some cancer sufferers dont want to be reminded of it at this time, some of us like to switch off and watch something lighthearted of a friday evening. this obsession on Irish media with disease, suicide and all sorts of misery is strange and not at all healthy

Father Tubridy and his voyeuristic obsession with suffering strike again. Wait for the justification tomorrow morning:

"The country is on the verge of tears and needs an opportunity to shed them"

or

"We have never seen such raw grief and we need to see this...",

or maybe

"This is reality so we must show it".

It's the worst kind of reality tv masquerading as public service broadcasting. People are exhausted with it yet it continues week-in, week-out. It's mad.

You begin to lose sympathy or empathy for all these people with problems. It's on day in day out, non stop. Your brain just can't cope with it. RTE, give us a break!!

Exactly.

They go on about our supposed need to see suffering but they ignore the fact that overrepresentation of death and tragedy is not good for audiences and can cause problems in itself
