RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

sligojoek · 02-09-2021 9:46am

Sounds like a great book. 😀

Brendan Bendar · 02-09-2021 7:46pm

The ‘luvvies’ will be out in force next Friday.

will steer well clear of the LLS

PieOhMy · 03-09-2021 9:32am

Thought I'd turn on the radio app on my phone just now to see what the topic of todays call might be. You know, it's Friday, might be a bit of craic or fun, something nice to have on the radio in the background as I work.

First thing I hear: "So how many chemotherapy sessions did you have?"

This is scandalous. These people are psychos and I seriously think the entire nation could be at risk of being damaged by all this. This is beyond belief. Its not even a joke anymore. The cancer man is a sick sick man.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the man is a ghoul.

He must be getting warmed up for asking 2 different sets of people about their dead children later. His idea of entertainment on a Friday night. This is beyond redemption or defence. Its simply absolutely disgusting.

sligojoek · 03-09-2021 9:38am

What's it like to have a mastectomy?

Mother of Jesus.

Jeez I don't know Ryan, what's it like to have a lobotomy???

The man is a fool, to put it mildly..

Pelvis Parsley · 03-09-2021 6:06pm

He’s a deviant is what he is.

mistersifter · 03-09-2021 7:18pm

Sure didnt Hobiddy grill the bejaysis out of that actress the other day about Danika McGuigan. Spent about 10 minutes trying to get your one to cry. Disturbed individual.

What was it he said today? "Don't hate stuff, just dislike it intensely". Handy advice for when listening to him in misery merchant mode.

Ash.J.Williams · 06-09-2021 9:15am

tubs is the Bruce Wayne of south Dublin, mmm the tub mobile is immobile I’ll take the the tub bike 😂😂

But the self-confessed “show-off ” and lover of attention added he’s hopeful to stay in the top gig within the public broadcaster for as long as possible, despite the rumblings of a female presenter coming to take over the reins eventually.

Tubridy said: “I want to be here for as long as they will have me, but I don’t doubt that it is only a matter of time.”

Meanwhile, keeping tight-lipped about any leading lady in his dating life, the host teased: “It remains the great unanswered question because I just don’t do that. I open the gate a bit into my life but not the front door. You can only give away so much because you have to protect yourself.”

Meanwhile, like a ghoul that thrives on the suffering of others, he digs into the worst moments of other people's personal lives with little grace. Their suffering merely being a prop he can use to demonstrate his 'empathy' and 'kindness'. What a fake. And a bully. I initially just berated him for his lickspittle journalism, but as I have learnt more, he genuinely comes across as a complete creep.

archfi · 06-09-2021 9:33am

Apparently, Ryan is 48 and a half according to Ryan.

He also attempts to send a signal up showing his virtue saying prostitutes are now referred to as sex workers then immediately calls them prostitutes (waffling on about Jack the Ripper)

mistersifter · 06-09-2021 9:48am

Cant remember what his waffle record is but he must have come close this morning - the "news round up" went on til after 10.30.

Very difficult to know what he does be on about half the time during those stream of consciousness sessions.

He has also promised everyone that the pandemic is over. Maybe he'll get it right this time!

Also, hasnt this exact interview been done before? Is this not the one who was targeted by the racist graffiti that time?

It's difficult for fakes to keep their story straight.

mistersifter · 06-09-2021 10:00am

Didnt Hobbidy get himself into trouble with the offended brigade a while back for saying that all Irish people were pasty white!? 😂

mistersifter · 06-09-2021 10:08am

She should have pulled him up on this 😂. Funnily enough he actually continues to say this sort of thing fairly regularly.

"The complainant said that Tubridy, in discussing women and girls wearing a full face of make-up, commented on women looking more Irish the day after, when the make-up has been removed ...

...The complainant is of the view that this comment, unfortunately, reinforces a racist perception that correlates lighter skin with beauty and alienates people with darker skin tones from a sense of Irish identity"

Volume up:

"Tell me about confronting the situation where children die during surgery."

Volume down.

Jesus. I missed this.

When he was signing off the LLS on Friday he told people to tune into his radio programme because "it was always fun" .

Last week at least 3 out of the 5 days focused on death and illness.

Pelvis Parsley · 07-09-2021 10:14am

His definition of fun appears to differ violently from that of the rest of normal functioning members of society.

StevenToast · 07-09-2021 10:30am

I dont listen to tubridy...i physically cant stand him and his insincere positivity........i just dip in and out of this thread to see what 500k a year gets RTE.....

Waffle and misery it seems...why would you pay the licence fee with that ghoul sucking on the rte teat?

hawley · 07-09-2021 12:44pm

And Tubs told listeners on his RTE Radio One show on Tuesday morning: "I think I'm ready to fly again.

"I'm not going to lie to you, when I saw Leo Varadkar at the festival, whether he goes or not is his business, he did nothing illegal.

"I thought, 'that's ok', we're all good to go, I'm not having a snark.

"The Tanaiste is flying, I'm ready to get going. Now that the Late Late is back, I have no time to go anywhere so I won't be going anywhere but in my head, I was thinking 'I could do with a cold beer somewhere nice'."

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/rte-star-ryan-tubridy-breaks-24925461.amp

Tubridy and the political class bend the rules to suit themselves, and then pretend that we're all in this together. He has the begging bowl out every week for charity, but does everything he can to pay as little tax as possible. Most charities in Ireland are massively subsidized by the taxpayer. He abused the spirit of the artist's exemption when applying for the relief on his books. He has "worked" in a public sector company for over twenty years but is allowed to be seen as a contractor? He was complaining this morning about not being able to go on holiday, after having had several weeks off during the summer. There's a sickness at the top of Irish society.

NIMAN · 08-09-2021 9:18am

Someone tells him they saw selection boxes in the local supermarket, to which he replied he's not having that, not on Sept 8th. Too early for Xmas.

Says the man who mentions the Xmas toy show in January, February, March, April......

PieOhMy · 08-09-2021 9:25am

Is there anything sincere about this guy?

Claims to like T.V - no interest in watching The Wire.

Claims to be anti bullying - often bully's people

Claims to like U.S politics - only mentions Hilary Clinton and Trump

Claims to appreciate privacy - indulges in tabloid gossip on air

Promises fun - asks what it's like to have a mastectomy and children dying on operating tables

NIMAN · 08-09-2021 9:36am

And his interview this morning starts with 'Olympics of sadness'.....this is going to be uplifting.

StevenToast · 08-09-2021 9:39am

I could start a thread entitled:

"Say something positive about Ryan Tubridy".....

It would be the quietest thread on boards.....

I try to give credit where its due and have commented before that at least he appears fairly competent technically. Not messing up the buttons like D'arcy or burping and grunting into the mic like Duffy.

mistersifter · 08-09-2021 9:46am

Printing off online articles cos he's "a hard copy guy". So that's where all his toner his going. Very wasteful, Hobbidy!

Pussyhands · 08-09-2021 10:04am

Can't stand Tubridy. He actually wasn't that bad years ago. I guess he was younger then.

Surrounded by yes men, the band, the production crew laughing at his stupid non funny jokes.

He's trying desperately to gain the status of "uncle Gaybo". He tried to get his own catchphrase during covid.."mind yourselves and mind each other, goodnight" 🤮

I'd say he **** himself to sleep at night thinking of 10-20 years down the line as people talk about his legacy. "Tubridy raised 50m for charities, it was HE who had the weekly charity thing during covid, it was HE who decided to have the charity thing on the toy show"

08-09-2021 10:24am

^^^^ Yes, any way whatever to achieve Uncle Gaybo Iconic status.

Big miss here though that Joe Duffy got "The meaning of life" late night tv slot, some of gaybos interviews are watched over and over by me on YouTube.

Ofcourse Tubbs can still try for Gay's slot on Lyric FM.

Pelvis Parsley · 08-09-2021 10:32am

If Tubridy got that gig he could rename it the meaning of DEATH.

More fun for him.

Good post. I liked this bit in particular: " He has the begging bowl out every week for charity"

He really is a kind fooker alright. I'd love to know how much money he kindly removes from st vincent de paul for doing the voice overs for their ads p/a. A tidy sum I would imagine.

Now, to preempt some fan retorting with : 'He may do it for free', eh...no. If Ryan was a charitable sort of a fella, he'd make sure it was leaked and Noel would engineer a interview where Ryan could say: "I don't like to talk about my charity work, so lets move on", leading to all the red tops saying how amazeballs Ryan is.

Having said all that, I don't listen to him. I just can't. I get a great idea of what has been on from browsing this thread though. Really the only people that can actually force change are the sponsors - (by walking away) as they have done with BO'C and D'Arcy.

Sky BB - It goes on and on and on... A bit like Ryan then?

I'm not aware of SVP paying anyone, never mind RT for doing voice overs and publicity work on their behalf.

"I'm not aware of SVP paying anyone, never mind RT for doing voice overs and publicity work on their behalf".

What? SVP pay for nothing. Is that correct?

You could be on to something there.

He's, all of a sudden, into jazz now.

LLS mention straight away

sligojoek · 09-09-2021 9:13am

He wants to go to..

ha ha ha ha... guffaw guffaw.... Broadway.

Hilarious

Man child. Then he corrects himself. Human child.

mistersifter · 10-09-2021 9:13am

He's "a Galway guy"

avfc1874 · 10-09-2021 9:21am

In Ryans head if he doesn't agree or like something it's OK to laugh and snear at.

If he doesn't like something it shouldn't be allowed and I'll read out lots of texts to agree with me.

But it is not bullying or meanness if huberdy says it

Bit of news I spotted this morning:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/7576151/late-late-show-bosses-hiking-toy-show-ad-spots-86125/amp/

Serious coincidence that Ryan has decided that 'ads are back' and should be watched and not gast forwarded past any more. The reason why? Very vague as to why apart from an 'opportunity to throw some wood on the fire' or take a break from the programme.
