RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

archfi

Trump.

Again.

First minute.

Bellbottoms

I found the Brian Cowan comment more telling.

Beechwoodspark

What did he say about Cowan?

When Trump was in power, the likes of Tubs was always berating the amount of coverage and airtime his views got.

Now that he is no longer news, Tubs keeps bringing his name up. Why not say nothing Ryan if you dislike the man so much?

It was something about party conference no longer being any fun in Ireland. All over something silly Cowan or did.

The silly thing was going on radio **** faced the morning after and giving a interview to Ryan's colleagues on Morning Ireland I believe.

Yeah, Tubridy said 'the craic' stopped in Ireland that day [paraphrasing], like the good little FFer he is!

StevenToast

I wonder does Tubridy ever look in the mirror and think to himself....."God, I'm some pr1ck"....

Trump is still very much in the Current Affairs section of US politics.

He is working hard to tie down the GOP nomination.

Betfair currently have him at 4/1 second favourite to become President again.

i know he's dead against one way tickets to Switzerland, and got a little nasty to Terry Pratchett for planning to (and eventually ending his life there)

mistersifter

Tomorrow's LLS:

"Andrew McGinley will discuss life after the deaths of his three young children at the hands of his wife and the children's mother, Deirdre Morley".

also:

Peter Schmeichel.

Rosanna Davidson's miscarriages.

and Kodaline.

God help us.

I really believe he does this every morning before leaving the house. Followed by a smug grin...

"Embracing the light"

Rte can't help themselves, they have to wallow in misery.

Bellbottoms

I don't remember RTE always being like this. I remember quality guests, or am I just looking back with Rose tinted glasses.

It's bizzare that RTEs flagship show is basically misery porn.

Going by Ryan's commet about no one putting a gun to Peter Brooks head when he was on the Late Late. I don't think Ryan sees anything wrong in manipulating someone for viewers.

Just a suggestion but could we leave Vicki Phelan out of any discussion for now.

Bellbottoms

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117990494#Comment_117990494

I am going to go back and edit my comment

mistersifter

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117990494#Comment_117990494

Just to clarify your opinion here. Although Ryan has decided it's ok to broadcast very sad updates about her health, his listeners are then not allowed to actually mention this?

Not to be pedantic either, but since we are trying to be respectful, isn't it Vicky and not Vicki?

NIMAN

Anyone taking a bet on Jason Byrne being on the LLS in the coming weeks?

Goodness. What wrong with ye?

No update on the show since it started at 9.05

Philistines ye.

NIMAN

I think it just shows how poor the show is. There is barely anything to discuss, its the same old, same old.

Bellbottoms

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117991429#Comment_117991429

The spelling is on me.

In hindsight I regret amendeding my post. If the state of someone health is front page on the tabloids. And they are constantly being invited onto the show to talk about it. And it's being commented on almost weekly by the host. I think it's fair to bring them into the discussion.

They are not the first person to be used for content and they will not be the last.

And it's a discussion that needs to be had.

TBH I find it all a disgusting.

I am done with this show.

PieOhMy

I don't think tragic circumstances are really appropriate to be discussed on national entertainment programming, or an online radio forum either.

I feel that the appropriate point of contact to raise a request that sensitive subjects be given quiet space in difficult times would be 'ryan@rte.ie', given the frequency with which the team behind that email address raises sensitive issues as features on their entertainment broadcasts.

A radio forum wouldn't spontaneously mention these cases without them being brought front and centre by the programme that the forum is discussing in the first instance.

I wouldn't normally mention spelling but my comment was directed to the other poster who repeated the error while pulling you up simply because you mentioned Vicky, even though you said nothing disrespectful towards her. God forbid we actually speak about the content that is broadcast.

Those who try to defend Tubridy havent much to work with so they will try to guilt the critic into remaining silent e.g. you cant talk about the quality of the show because that makes you a bully, and now you now cant pull Tubridy up on taking advantage of people's suffering because it's disrespectful to the person suffering (which it is not).

I agree with you and I wouldn't edit my post if I mentioned Vicky Phelan. He was happy enough to spend a few minutes talking about her this week. It was content on the shows so it absolutely can be mentioned.

Tubridy is a misery merchant and I wouldnt stop pointing this out while it remains the case. He was giving that update the other day while at the same time telling listeners that he doesnt like to dwell on sad stories. A significant part of his show is dedicated to downbeat content on radio and television. Him telling the audience otherwise is, as another poster pointed out a while back, gaslighting.

My post was as I said "just a suggestion".

Nobody is disallowed.

Apologies for the spelling error.

He’s the poor mans richie Faulkner , get Richie on to discuss playing the guitar solo for painkiller with Judas Priest whilst undergoing a aortic dissection and hus heart pumping blood into his chest cavity

UPDATE ON RICHIE FAULKNER:

We have an update on Richie – see below in Richie’s own words….

Maniacs…

I’ve always been grateful for the opportunities I’ve been presented with. I’ve always considered myself THE most fortunate man ever - to be able to play my favourite music - with my favourite band - to my favourite people around the world…

Today just being able to type this to you all is the biggest gift of all…

As I watch footage from the Louder Than Life Festival in Kentucky, I can see in my face the confusion and anguish I was feeling whilst playing ‘Painkiller’ as my aorta ruptured and started to spill blood into my chest cavity….

I was having what my doctor called an aortic aneurysm and complete aortic dissection.

From what I’ve been told by my surgeon, people with this don’t usually make it to the hospital alive…..

I was taken to nearby Rudd Heart & Lung Center and quickly went into what turned out to be a 10 ½ hour emergency open heart surgery

Five parts of my chest were replaced with mechanical components…..I’m literally made of metal now….

It could have all ended so differently – we only had an hours set that night due to Metallica’s performance after us – and it does cross my mind if it was a full set, would I have played until total collapse…? If it hadn’t happened in such a high adrenaline situation would my body have been able to keep going long enough to reach the hospital…?

The amazing Heart & Lung Center was 4 miles away from the gig site – if it had been further away……..

We can always drive ourselves crazy with these things but I’m still alive thankfully. Whatever the circumstances, when watching that footage, the truth is, knowing what I know now, I see a dying man…..

I’ve been moved to tears and humbled by friends, family, my fantastic band, crew and management and also you guys sending me videos and messages of love and support during the last week – I thank you all so much and although I have a recovery road ahead of me, as soon as I’m able to get up and running again, you’ll be the first to know and we’ll get back out there delivering the goods for you all….!

One last thing maniacs, this came totally out of the blue for me – no history of a bad heart, no clogged arteries etc…my point is I don’t even have high cholesterol and this could’ve been the end for me. If you can get yourselves checked – do it for me please……   

Lots of love and see you down the front again soon….

Richie…

This is from our strong falcon - he will be flying high again just as soon as he is able….

Tubs little piece wasn't sympathetic either, i won't go into it, but all he had to say was we're thinkin of her and sending good vibes and leave it at that.

I just walked into the kitchen, where the radio was still on from listening to Morning Ireland earlier and, guess what, Ryan is chatting about death.

"OK Google, turn the radio over to BBC Radio 4 - Quick!"

amlinopta

A new book about death. And a blow by blow account of a man's final hours. Ryan positively creaming himself.

elperello

The book is called Sorry For Your Trouble: The Irish Way of D***h by Anne Marie Hourihane.

It would be a difficult task to interview the author without mentioning d***h.

(part of this post has been redacted to avoid offence)

mistersifter

Another death special today.

As the old saying goes, in Montrosia nothing is certain except death and [taxes] more death.

StevenToast

Tubridy is so fascinated by death that he will interview himself on his deathbed....

mistersifter

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118005251#Comment_118005251

I can imagine the production team scout for interviewees by hanging out around hospitals, funeral homes, and the likes.

The broadcasting equivalent of the dodgy "ambulance chaser" lawyer.

Wait, what he didn't, did he?

Ash.J.Williams

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118007592#Comment_118007592

yeah, he had a conversation that was way out of his depth about dark humour and than gave a poor example about the pentagon 911 crash, wasn't offensive just awful :). also said the robots singing celine dion and dolly parton were crap, however they could actually sing, but were clearly voiced by a black singer ....oooooops :)

If she is on this show. Almost certainly.

mistersifter

Cancer!!!!!

Pelvis Parsley

He's a sick f*cker.

Pelvis Parsley

"When do you miss him?"

Pelvis Parsley

Woman on now who consumed produce that's past its best before date, and which should have been binned ages ago.

Aside from listening to Tubridy, she also eats out of date food.

I think tubs duffy and darcy just can't help themselves with the misery.

I think it makes them feel better about themselves in a weird way that whatever the story they can find misery in it. Weirdos.

No problem eating food after best before.

There is a difference between best before and use by.

Pelvis Parsley

I'm inclined to steer a course close to the edge on that one as well.

I'm not a fan of waste-maybe that's another reason why Mr. Fun grates on me ;)

Mena Mitty

Was there a hint of a beg to his 'Orchard' friends to throw a few apples his way.

The 'Orchard' people must have gifted some apples to the show in the past.

I can't for the life of me come up with a 'windfall' joke.

mistersifter

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118010129#Comment_118010129

Yeah, he said they tend to drop in their produce to him - so that's another one for the list, along with last week's copies of New York magazine which were special requests of Lord Hobiddy.

He's gearing up for the approaching freebie season. An avalanche of Irish-made goodies will hit Montrosia any day now courtesy of "friends" from various independent sweet shops, bakeries, candle factories, breweries, and the likes.

How about THAT! Just gorgeous! Knock-out! Delicious!

PieOhMy

Was there some apples delivered?

I'd be reluctant to add oblique requests as there can always be the argument that he didn't actually ask for it I.e "I'd lovvvvvve a trip to iceland" & "It's been too long since I was in paris" and then the impact of the disgusting list off freebies would be lost in an argument about semantics.

The vinal table mat and the new York magazine were direct requests and wildly inappropriate, not that a phoney like Ryan would care a jot about professional standards - it seems he reads the news pieces selected by the researchers for the first time when he's actually on air most of the time.
