RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

Welsh Megaman · 28-01-2022 10:25am

Ryan, don’t kid yourself that you’ll ever go to a gig.

This is the NI News of it, don't think it mentioned RT

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-60145127

But I did read a piece that actually told you what was said about him, I'll see if I can dig it out.

Edit: In a response to another user, Ms Ennis tweeted on March 21, 2012: “Some people were hit with the ugly stick, you were raped by the whole forest.”In another tweet on April 26, 2013, the politician made reference to Mr Tubridy in a post responding to former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams, writing: “Ryan Turbidy [sic] was being dead on for once and keeping his ugly mouth shut?”

Did the DLB admit that he doesnt know how to play chess again?

I might be misremembering this. But didn't Ryan or one of the other RTE high earners claim they couldn't take a pay cut. Something to do with being divorced how their finances were set up. They couldn't legally take a pay cut. Some nonsense like that.

dvcireland · 28-01-2022 10:50am

wat a bootiful rendition of um bop!

Only person I remembering saying he wouldn't or couldn't take a pay cut was Gerry Ryan.

But he had major outgoings at the time, as we later found out.

Welsh Megaman · 28-01-2022 10:55am

That was a great version of ‘Mmmbop’.

StevenToast · 28-01-2022 10:59am

Id rather put my head in a hornets nest than watch the late late show tonight...

Tubridy the nations saviour...he defeated covid for Irelands Sins.....

Make some room for me in that nest Steven.

Also, it was a joint effort from Bryan and Joe Duffy who advised the country to “washyerhanz”.

Only a “meanie” would also point out how often Bryan incorrectly predicted the end of the pandemic and the fact that Joe said “de voyrus can’t come here because we’re an island” and “even if it comes no-one will die”…….

Bellbottoms · 28-01-2022 1:39pm

Didn't he read out an email from a lovely listener congratulating Ryan or correctly predicting the lockdown and pandemic would last two years and that we would need to mentally prepare for it.

I sometimes wonder if a producer gets bored and takes a look here. I wonder was the letter an attempt to try and deflect the "It will all be over by X" cristism here.

TOP RTE star Ryan Tubridy last night revealed he will not be taking a pay cut for "personal, legal reasons".The broadcaster broke his silence and revealed in a statement that he will not be accepting a 10 per cent cut from his EUR346,000 salary.

The statement read: "Like everyone else in this country, I have been watching the ongoing economic situation closely.Due to personal, legal reasons, I have been advised that a pay cut is not an option for me at this time."But the RTE Radio 1 presenter revealed he will be giving money to charity, adding: "Despite this, I am making a significant donation to St Vincent de Paul, a charity that could probably do with our help now more than ever."Tubridy, 35, had joined forces with fellow RTE top dogs.Gerry Ryan and Pat Kenny have also refused to take a salary hit.

I hope the SVDP put that fiver to good use.

Welsh Megaman · 31-01-2022 10:09am

Sad to see Chapters Bookshop go :(

Whenever I was over, I would pop in - got some decent bukes for a cheap price.

ButtersSuki · 31-01-2022 10:12am

Bryan bigging up the fisherpeople “who were brilliant on Liveline last week”…..yes Bryan, it was Joe who struck fear into the Russians and made them back down.

ButtersSuki · 31-01-2022 10:12am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118558063#Comment_118558063

Yes, it is sad.

I had meant to go in before it closed but life got in the way. :(

ButtersSuki · 31-01-2022 10:13am

Bizarre and peculiar. Intriguing?

ButtersSuki · 31-01-2022 10:16am

Tubs doing his fake accents and desk-tapping again. The man has zero awareness.

ButtersSuki · 31-01-2022 10:16am

”a pretty bonkers Miss Marple type thing”

Ash.J.Williams · 31-01-2022 10:19am

The point of the Russian stunt was to point out they know the underwater cable network, the message was received, if anyone gets in the way of Ukraine, they will blow up the internet 😂

It’s hard to beat Joseph Duffy when he gets a giggle fit for fakeness, or when laughing at one of his mates “jokes” on FunnyFryday.

31-01-2022 10:31am

PieOhMy's list is astonishing. Somewhere, I'm sure I've seen RT referred to as Ryan Subsidy, which is a lot more apt, IMO

ButtersSuki · 31-01-2022 10:32am

Toy Show mention for actually no reason at all.

And with that, I’m out.

It would be great if we could have a poll.

Do you belive that any upcoming trip to Iceland will be wholly or partly funded by, or undertaken in conjunction with a sponsoring entity.

Yes or No.

mistersifter · 31-01-2022 6:32pm

@Bellbottoms No, she brought it up. It sounded as though he wasn't too happy about it being mentioned. Just said, "oh yes my brother is a neurologist", as if it were just a coincidence.

mistersifter · 31-01-2022 6:32pm

Bellbottoms · 31-01-2022 6:35pm

Yes the talent brother. Who is a respected academic, medical doctor and best selling author.

Imagine that sticks in Tubs craw a bit.

Doubt he gives a fock, he’d be taking home more than de brudder and didn’t have to slave through med school for it and works less in a month than the brudder does in a week.

Bellbottoms · 31-01-2022 8:51pm

I don't know. Tubs like to see himself as a bit of an intellectual. All the affectations the "I am a nerd", "I love books".

Brother is the real deal.

Bestselling author check. And it wasn't some fluff kids book or poxy book no one read about JFK.

Respected academic check

Respected professional in his field check

Tubs is a spoofer who is only in his job because of family connections and who his grandfather was.

A kind of a Frasier/Niles vibe to todays RT gripes.

hawley · 31-01-2022 10:52pm

On his show on Monday morning Tubridy said:

"I kinda wish I was a fly on the the hotel room that Djokovic was watching the match on, even though he had probally had his fingers in his ear pretending, he wasn't watching it."

The RTE star said he was delighted that Nadal won the final, but also was happy to see it wasn't a super spreader event due to Djokovic's absence. "It was a great result for Nadal, I'm not the biggest tennis guy in the world, but listen this was geo-polictal event let's face it and with Djokovic there it could have been a geopolitical, social, super spreader event, but it wasn't and now it's great to see."

No....but you are the biggest **** in the world said Steven Toast......

Bellbottoms · 31-01-2022 11:17pm

How do you think he got started.

His grandfather was the head or RTE.

Ryan has involved with RTE since he was a teen.

It's also how his cousin Dave McSavage got his start. McSavage when not harrasing people on the street was the warm up man for the Late Lates live audience during the PK years.

The Andrews family have been sucking on the Titty of RTE for years.
