It sounds like that UK entry by Daz Sampson....at least it is different I guess....we should send Brooke but...that Patrick O Sullivan guy has all the big names involved which might help!

That's what it reminded me of too! Now that was cringey

KevRossi

Ryan probably knows Meatloaf's cinematic exploits only from 'Spice Girls - The Movie'.

Joe Duffy or Ray D'Arcy. At least they worked their way up (as we are often reminded).

I agree with everything you said apart from the last bit. I get the point you're making re Tubridy. But I wouldn't describe the other two as working their way up.

Joe Duffy got lucky, getting co-opted in, effectively, by Gay Byrne. D'arcy also got lucky, imo. Someone in RTE thought he was worth 'poaching' from Today FM. All three are grossly overpaid, they must feel like they have won the lotto every time they look at their bank accounts.

All three keep their talents well hidden, imo. That's another thing they have in common.

You can bet your hoop not only has he seen that movie, it’s probably one of his Top 10 Fillums of all time….full of feel-good fun, smashing jolly tuneage and smiles and giggles for the whole family.

Welsh Megaman

Can you lick other peoples faces now then?

Cool.

ButtersSuki

Tubs riffin’ and wafflin’ away to beat the band now. Describing how he went into town on Saturday evening as “suffering for his craft” and talking about his new office chair now. A stream of unconscious wiffle-waffle.

ButtersSuki

Toy Show!!!!

bmorrissey

People carrying on like the whole virus is fully gone. I dont understand it

There’ll be a nice spike in the next few weeks to bring us back to reality on that front but fully agree, people are acting like it ended on Friday last at 6pm sharp.

Welsh Megaman

Ryan watches DWTS at home, with a mannequin dressed like Hillary Clinton.

”Shall we…dance?”

“you can lead Hilary, you’re much more manly than me”

"Can you say 'We came. We saw. He died' one more time? Gawd, I love that."

ButtersSuki

9:11 and the 9 o’clock news hasn’t even started yet on the Player……wtf are they at in there in RTÉ?

ButtersSuki

Tears, JFK, bukes, Biden, Trump, Taylor Swift…..etc. etc.

Now 10mins riffin’ on American Politics, the lad thinks he’s broadcasting to a global audience.

avfc1874

Could huberdy be any more dislikeable ?

Said even before the... Thing..He used to sanatise his hands after shaking hands with people (peasants). What a cnut.😠😡

Also biden called a reporter a son of a bitch, but in tubs world , maybe he didn't mean to say that and misspoke 🤔 because in ryans world only trump said bad words

Mena Mitty

He credited himself with being ahead of the curve when it came to hand sanitising and what sort of amadan pays for his meal in a restaurant because y'know they like the Toy show.

Welsh Megaman

Ryan listening to Fontaines DC…

ButtersSuki

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118529429#Comment_118529429

The double-standards are laughable. He also said the Fox News reporter “wasn’t very kind” to Biden; yes, because that’s his job…..being kind to a head of state.

I’m no Trump supporter but I’ll say one thing about him in his favour - at least he was a very vocal and visible President. Biden by comparison is invisible. You could easily go 2+ weeks without hearing a peep from him. It’s a little worrying tbh.

has anyone even seen Harris since she was elected?

StevenToast

To answer the question you posed in your first sentence.

No. He has reached peak dislikeability.

PieOhMy

This is absolute trash.

Baz or Callan or indeed anybody who can read would be capable of reading out snippets from sections of the newspapers like this, and the que cards of misery could steer any host through the misery section.

It truly is pathetic fare from a host and production team that seem to treat the audience with contempt.

If a chef put the same effort into a meal as the production team and host put into this programme they would be shut down by the health authority and possibly be arrested for attempted murder.

Absolutely dreadful drudge from one of the most unlikeable and uncharismatic personas I have ever heard.

A cosseted wastrel mindlessly riffing about his unbelievable privilege just is not good entertainment and any production team that are happy with this as the output of their days (few hours) work must have no ambition or creativity or integrity and I assume the "phoning it in" culture of serving up any old crap and collecting the pay cheque is as prevant as ever on this show as elsewhere.

I just don't understand why this immensely dislikable persona was ever thought to be a good idea.

avfc1874

Tubs first half hour of every show is like normal people skiving for the first few minutes of work, until the boss turns up and says lads are we going to do any work today or just stand around talking b@llocks.

But it doesn't look like tubs has the same type of boss as me🤔so he just carrys on

archfi

NFT's.

Basically, 'You will own nothing and be happy'

At least Tubridy sounds narked off about it.

archfi

Does anyone remember did Tubridy critique the Zappone-Varadkar Merriongate shítfest last year cos he's got at least a week and a bit out of a foreign country's version.

Course he didn't 😂😒😆

Our shower are all good. Every one else bad.

Every Irish film , song , brilliant

Any British or American stuff that tubs doesn't like, understand. Is Rubish and so on

StevenToast

And you have Dee Forbes and Moya Doherty out crying about people not paying the TV Licence???

Why should I when you pay Ryan Tubridy €500,000 a year?

No chance

I’ve genuinely seen more of her than Biden. I follow US Politics (like Bryan, lol) and watch a lot of US TV so maybe I’m just exposed to her more.

Ash.J.Williams

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118534040#Comment_118534040

barely a mention!

Is he angling for a job in the States, post-RTE or something? His biased fixation on US politics is completely unsuited to public sector broadcasting, IMO, though it is a good fit for the neo-liberal bias of our political and media establishment.

What really irks me about his casual endorsement of the Dems though is that both Dems and Republicans are fully behind the MIC and the US war machine. Within the US this means hoovering up mostly poor people, dangling a college education (and/or citizenship and, currently, large signing bonuses) in front of them, and then sending them overseas to kill, steal, build better businesses for companies back home, and destroy. Politicians and weapons companies are raking it in and more than 20 military vets commit suicide everyday.

In other words, you don't even have to get in to the damage the MIC does overseas to realize that it is an evil, expolitative operation from top to bottom. These realities don't seems to bother lickspittle Tubridy however, the little billox.

Ash.J.Williams

to me it looks like he’s after the coveted White House intern role

PieOhMy

For me the chances of him working anywhere outside Dublin are between slim and none.

An individual who has never lived outside Dublin, or lived outside the small area of Dublin and bubble he was born into, is not going to leave now at age 50 or whatever age he is. He's been at rte since he was a child. I believe he would be homesick for the comforts he enjoys very quickly indeed.

Also to be honest I think his "following of American politics" only goes as far as following click bait articles about Hilary Clinton (yayyy) or Trump (booo) but as its an area of interest that is viewed as having an amount of intellectual gravitas he of course makes out like his big into it.

Funny listening to him struggle with the concept of paying money for a picture all the same.

I've no interest in NFT's but has he never heard of someone spending a fortune on an original photo while a print of the same thing can be got for nothing?

"I want John Lennon's actual guitar", he says. Of course you do Tubridy, you entitled little ****.

"This one time, someone gifted me an original letter written by Charles Stewart Parnell. Why cant everything be like that?"

For some reason I'm getting this advert while scrolling the Liveline thread! 🤔🤔

Wonder will it pop up for Ryan too, I'm sure it'll interest him....

Way,way out of her depth.

PieOhMy

Double cancer death.

Overwhelming grief and crying.

These are the things that Riffin' Ryan absolutely LOVES.

NIMAN

... and now a woman talking about her son in the past tense......more death.

Ha ha ha , he he he false laughing to cover his nervousness or glee at hearing sad stories,

Think it's glee🤔

Welsh Megaman

*obligatory ‘Ryan, I’m in tears listening to this woman’s story’ e-mail from listener*

avfc1874

Its weird the way the 3 high earners tubs Duffy and Darcy thrive on these sad death, cancer stories, and love hearing the morbid details.

And they make out its light entertainment, while patronising the guest . 😠😓

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118539076#Comment_118539076

Remember some years ago Mario Rosenstock got quite some mileage out of doing skits on Meeeeriam conjuring tears out of her interviewees. There was one where he impersonated her interviewing a couple and then turned to the death of their dog, and went into fine detail regarding how the spoof animal came to its demise.

You won’t get on RTÉ without a “human interest story” where audience tears are invoked. They will tell you directly there has to be that angle.

ButtersSuki

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118534537#Comment_118534537

Not a chance he’d take the pay cut even if he wanted the job. Also too much like hard work after 30+ years of doing SFA in Montrose.

Ash.J.Williams

our hero is embroiled in some NI scandal today, think an SF MLA called him a mean name in her past on twitter and it's come to light

mistersifter

The ghoul didn't even bother with the usual pretence of raising awareness this morning. Pure grief for the sake of grief. Guest was from Monkstown I noticed. Maybe when he's on "his walks" he's scouting people who have been through awful things - when he's not picking up freebies, like.

Also great to hear that the show saved some widow from the depths of despair by means of a poem. He will have loved the idea of cleaning out the drawers of the dead. I can see him bringing that one up in one of his future attempts to sound profound while milking tears out of some poor sod.

All that misery leeching must be tiring though, hence finishing up with a pre-recorded interview with someone in New York cos the DLB loves the big apple, etc. etc. Handy morning.

Late Late Show audience back tomorrow so looking forward to his sermon. I love a good long mass :)

Oh? Link?

ButtersSuki

Talking about the LLS like it’s the single greatest show in the history of TV again and having an audience back is the greatest achievement in the history of mankind.

Jeans should be cancelled apparently, and Minnie Mouse is getting a pant suit like Hilary’s.

Tubs doing stupid accents again. I’m out.

Welsh Megaman

No disrespect to Mr. Wonder of course, but Ryan should have played this…
