He'll be telling us next he has a freezer full of roadkill collected on his little walkies.

It's good to see that Ryan has prompted the increased use of "delicious" as an adjective not confined to food and drink. Those who did not realise that should thank him for his service.

giving pleasure or contentment to the mind or senses

Is Joanne McNally the world’s unfunniest comedian?

It would be between her and Alison Spittle.

Quite so 👍

Isn’t he more of a Coke man?

ButtersSuki

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118648915#Comment_118648915

I don’t like her “comedy”, but to be fair to her she’s not even the unfunniest comedian in Ireland. She has some very stiff competition on that front. Spittle and McGuire have already been mentioned, and you can add Jason Byrne to that list; but all I’ll say is you’ve never heard Funny Friday on Liveline if you think she is the worst. I had a flexible cystoscopy (google it if you don’t know what it is) last year that was 100 times funnier and more enjoyable than 3 minutes of Funny Friday.

Delightful, delectable?

ButtersSuki

Accents again, followed by loud and delicious guffawing at his own hilarious mimicry. Top class entertainment this.

ButtersSuki

Another freebie for the list - ADVANCE SCREENING of Elvis movie, which isn’t out until June.

Self-aware as always, he then says “if you haven’t seen it, go and watch it”. Not everyone has access to free advanced screenings Bryan.

That's a very impressive list. I don't understand the concept of clogging up the thread. It's just a post among thousands of others.

amlinopta

I think he listed well known golfer Elena Maguire during his Late Late promo at the top of the show. Must be Leona's sister.

ButtersSuki

Sport is not Bryan’s forte so to speak; blagging is more his thing (as you can see from the list).

Tubs favourite person in the world ,?

Someone who blows smoke up his hole, and maybe has a death or illness story 👏👏 and will pander to his false sympathy and stupid false laughing.

Cool, was just thinking it may annoy people to scroll down past a long list when the only new additions would be at the bottom.

They must also be kind and a good egg.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118651476#Comment_118651476

I'm not going to google anything like that, since I (stupidly) googled the words "anal bleaching" which had appeared in a totally innocuous thread on this very website. I wasn't the better for it!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118651773#Comment_118651773

I actually think that the posting of this outrageously long list is a public service. What is annoying is the brass neck behind the obtaining of so many freebies. Disgraceful.

ButtersSuki

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118651773#Comment_118651773

No I think the list is very important tbh. It shows not only how he abuses his position, but also his complete lack of self-awareness by then telling us all about it.

mistersifter

Fair play for keeping the list going. It's mad to see how much he milks it.

What's with his need to keep mentioning the gifts he receives? Even if you disregard the books because apparently it's part of his job as a (very poor) reviewer, what about the rest of the stuff? There's no point in mentioning most of it from a content perspective - he'll just say something like "I got a gift of some lovely flowers yesterday" and then moves on.

Is he incapable of receiving a gift and not letting the whole country know? It's like he wants to let the people know that gift-giving is the thing to do in his presence - as if he were an eccentric royal rambling from shop to shop collecting his dues from the fawning peasants.

I don't know of any other person who carries on like that. It's really strange.

PieOhMy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118653829#Comment_118653829

In my opinion he mentions them as its most of the time a quid pro quo situation. He gets something for free and the business gets advertising for the cost a free product. The loosers here are rte, an entity struggling badly financially, the tax payer who funds it, and other businesses that Ryan doesn't encounter in his Dublin bubble.

Mentioning when he gets free things/services from members of the public I think is combination of politeness and also yes, establishing that it is common practice for him to to have his dinner / lunch paid for by the public.

Mentioning things he would like / places he would like to visit I think is basically soliciting and requesting freebies when it comes down to it. It gets played off as 'riffing' but I think we all know what he's really up to and frankly it's disgusting.

It's hard to know how much to blame Ryan is though. Like he is a product of his environment as much as anyone else and his environment is one of privilege and idleness. Im not sure if he fully understands how inappropriate his grifting is as it's probably something he has seen his entire life and so assumes it to be appropriate and normal. I mean this is a man who asked a woman with several children with special needs where she goes for lunch. I don't think he asked this out of meanness. I genuinely think that was a revealing moment that showed how detached from the reality of life he is. This combined with how unnatural and with so much faux empty he tried to show with misery segment guests makes me think that he is just absolutely tone deaf and not really capable of understanding some things.

Either that and he knows well how it looks and couldn't give a fiddlers elbow.

I think it said alot about tubs when he said even before covid (the thing) , that when ever he shook anyone's hand that he would sanitise his hands after.

Probably in front of them🤚

Think the ole mask slipped there 🤔

Well to be fair, he would have to be careful. He doesn't look the healthiest of guys. 6ft 2 and weighs about 9 stone. Good flu could take him out.

Ash.J.Williams

i saw The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun last night and thought to myself this is the exact kind of movie tubs would love to yak on about being beautiful and delicious yet at the same time is aimed right over his head

ButtersSuki

Wind should be a subject you’d be an expert on Bryan.

ButtersSuki

Even more banal riffin’ than usual this morning it seems.

ButtersSuki

Once again a surprisingly well-written, articulate, and detailed letter/email from a member of staff, I mean member of the public…..

So much of the content of this show is either fake, contrived, or inherently false. I would bet my one good testicle that email/letter is 100% fake.

"Oh this is a sad one" with an audible sense of glee in Ryan's voice.

Who is writing an email to Ryan Tubridys radio show on a Friday night?

ButtersSuki

Tubs responses to and suggestions for the teenage disco topic make him sound much much older than he normally does, and that’s saying something.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118666496#Comment_118666496

Yes, a presently active alcoholic will generally never be that upfront and composed in the thought for their family members. It’s only during recovery they can allow themselves express such regrets. So I say it’s fake, it’s expression & composure is not that of somebody with a drink problem the extent of which would be obvious or known to other parents.

Jeju

Maybe the alcoholic had recovered by the end of the evening

ButtersSuki

Tubs flooded with emails about “Teenage Discos”. Sure Bryan. Sure.

ButtersSuki

Bryan the self-proclaimed political animal seems to know SFA about Russia….

ButtersSuki

Bryan links parents foregoing food to feed their children to the rising costs in Room To Improve.

Yes Bryan, a family struggling to feed themselves and a family faced with additional costs on a tens of thousands of euro extension/renovation is exactly the same thing. Such a man of the people.

ButtersSuki

Instagram is “a nice old place to be”, but all other social media is nasty.
