RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

mistersifter · 11-01-2022 10:59am

An ad break and tune to see us through to the end of the show after an utterly pointless conversation with someone or other.

Not to worry, today wasn't a complete waste. At least we learned that he's not a "crocs guy" and likes regular milk because he's such a no-nonsense operator/fish out of water in this modern world.

ButtersSuki · 11-01-2022 2:06pm

Tubs mentioned that he got some “preview copies of books” over Christmas this morning. Preview copies are freebies to you and me - I suspect the wording was deliberate to deflect criticism. Nonetheless, they should be added to his never-ending freebie list.

Well done my Royal Oirish Peg, not 15 mins into his first show back and he’s on about cinemas and fcuking popcorn and plush red seats.

Too much for the Brenner to take……………….

If 'Culture Vulture' Tubridy spent less time worrying about his sweets and Coke (😉) and more time following storylines, he'd be doin well for himself.

He said he wasn't able to follow James Bond but "the cinematography was gorgeous" and he also likes the theme tune. In other words, his attention span lasted for the first half hour which was located in Italy then he got distracted by a packet of jellies.

His critiques of all these books he supposedly reads haven't got much depth either, the useless fool.

An article from the 12th of January last year with him complaining about crocs as well. He always comes back to the same themes.

avfc1874 · 11-01-2022 11:31pm

He's got the same attention span of the other big hitters Darcy and Duffy . Can be told where someone lives and what they do. 2 minutes later , eh em eh so Claire you said you are living in kerry . No I said I live in Clare and my name is Kerry. 😏🤔

Two hours of the news, now twenty-five minutes of cartoon opinions of the news. Complete waste of radio space.

avfc1874 · 12-01-2022 10:45am

The longer tubs does the show the more awkward he becomes. He's got no sense of humour or awareness,

Trying to be funny about the man with the pigs heart every joke he tried was not funny, You'd think someone on the team would tell him to stop trying to be funny. Or maybe they are laughing at him while he thinks they are laughing with him. Big difference tubs 🤔😏

littlevillage · 12-01-2022 10:56am

A child could have followed the plot to the last Double Woke Seven movie. It was about as far removed from classic Bond as you can get, all that was missing was Daniel Craig wearing a BLM T shirt or saying “Girl Power” repeatedly like Geri from the Spice Girls.

Btw, the Crocs brand is undergoing a huge revival in relevance and sales are booming at the moment, particularly in the US. Of course the dainty one would not be aware of this fact that the tiniest bit of research would have unearthed for him. But hey, that’s too much like work.

StevenToast · 12-01-2022 8:54pm

Tubridy is like a really bad memory/ experience that you cant seem to shake off......For example:

- Tubridy/Bad memory keeps surfacing every now and then and when it does, it brings you down mentally.....

- No matter how hard you try to avoid Tubridy/Bad memory, it just keeps rearing its ugly face some part of the day.......

-If you live in Ireland, there is no escaping Tubridy....you may require professional help to rid him from your psyche....

Shilling for a paid trip to Iceland

mistersifter · 13-01-2022 10:27am

Reading probably fake texts asking him to go and do a broadcast from Iceland. A disgusting individual.

avfc1874 · 13-01-2022 10:32am

Huberdys definition of riffing and my definition of talking bullocks are very similar 🤔

KevRossi · 13-01-2022 11:53am

He's been at the Iceland thing for some time now, he really has the horn for it. If he did get a freebie there he'd be bored after 3 days and looking to go home.

I'm almost in the mood to set up a fake travel company, email him, arrange a trip to Iceland and when the day comes, send a taxi to pick him up at home and drop him off at Iceland in the ILAC Centre. See how he riffs that.

ButtersSuki · 13-01-2022 12:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118465978#Comment_118465978

Did he really read out a (as you say most likely fake) text urging him to do a broadcast from Iceland? I suspect I know the answer but I still have to ask.

He has some neck.

mistersifter · 13-01-2022 1:41pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118466674#Comment_118466674

He did indeed. He kept thanking the texter for her suggestion and then he laughed about going over a few days before the show "to do research". Said he had the support of the listeners and that he would do the broadcast from some Irish bar.

It's all said in a half-joking tone but he's dead set on it.

If it happens it will be scandalous.

ButtersSuki · 13-01-2022 1:55pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118467072#Comment_118467072

He’s laying the foundations alright.

It reminds me of the time he went to NY to do a promo for the return of TLLS or something. He went for a week to record a 30second ad, an ad that could have just as easily been shot here as there was nothing NY-related to the show.

And you can bet your ass that even if he paid for his own accommodation (which I doubt) on the day he wasn’t shooting the ad that his flights were paid for.

KevRossi · 13-01-2022 2:44pm

He was also out there for an 'extended research break' when he interviewed Hillary Clinton for the LLS.

Probably tried to get out to Cape Cod to hob-knob it with the Kennedy's or some other branch of the Democrat party. Preferably 5th generation Irish who have done well for themselves.

Don't be giving anyone ideas. RTE have done the "Across America" thing a few times. Always the same. One episode in NYC. Meet a few Irish lads with a bar. Recently its been some lad that used to be in Fair City. Then one episode in hillbilly land shooting guns. Then Vegas/LA/SF meet some Irish doing well in the film industry or working for Google and lads looking for snakebite in Vegas or asking DJs to play Wagon Wheel. That sort of shite.

But on a serious note. I did catch the show today, and sorry if this not allowed. But can we start texting in and ask Ryan to stop saying the pandemic will be over soon. He has been saying this since the pandemic started. First it was "It will be over by Christmas", then "It will be over by the summer". Then back to "It will be over by Christamas" and "It will be over by Summer". I have kids, and they have been heating the Sh1te man spouting this for two years. They don't understand lockdown and are terrified of COVID. I've explained to them, that we don't really know how long this will go on for. But some morings they hear Ryan and his "Awh it will be over XX" b0llocks. They don't know who he is. They just know the radio is saying it will all be over soon. And are let down when it isnt. It is irresponsible, what he is doing.

Good post.

He has said before he wants to do a show in which he inter-rails around Europe on old-school locomotives. No doubt it would involve the least amount of work possible even by travel show standards - nothing too strenuous or physical for the DLB. If he ever hangs up his Late Late boots you can expect a lot of that type of shíte.

He's been called out many times over the past 2 years for promising audiences that the pandemic will end by specific dates. I've never heard any health professional give these kinds of guarantees but Tubridy has decided that he is going to broadcast his completely unfounded waffle as fact. Plenty of people have contacted RTE about it but he simply has no interest in stopping. But yeah, people should absolutely keep complaining.

I'll be dropping them an email to say that sending the waste of space to Iceland for several days to broadcast an hour of waffle would be a serious misuse of funds. Not that I expect them to pay any heed but you know...cos I'm an internet bully.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118472308#Comment_118472308

His words were appropriate I think, there wasn't any blame being doled out, just how awful it all is.

The texts then ya took a bit of a turn you are right, the second one was written in a familiar style but I felt the topic was more "domestic abuse" than "every man is a a rapist who just hasn't done it yet". It makes sense to me that this awful event could prompt victims of domestic absue to share their stories and how they over came so that's fair enough.

Maybe following the disgrace of D'acrcy and Liveline yesterday I find not having an entire segment of society blamed and stigmatised for the actions of one monster to be reasonable. Belive me I like to point out the cancerman's many many shortcomings as much as anyone but he was the best of a bad bad bad bad bad bunch over the last 24 hours.

ButtersSuki · 14-01-2022 12:51pm

The “letter” he read out sounded like a press release to me tbh, esp. the part advising people to “reach out”, complete with contact details.

mistersifter · 14-01-2022 2:57pm

I had no issue with his opening comments, as he simply stated how shocking and terrible that poor girl's death is (as Pie said).

The email he read out after (which he said was appropriate) seemed to compare what was a random attack to a different issue of abusive relationships, which I don't think is helpful. And then he launched into some lighthearted content which just felt odd because he had spent a few minutes on the death.

IMO his initial condolences would have sufficed for now.
