RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

Todd Andrews was Chairman of the RTE Authority until 1970, and died in 1985.

Niall Andrews was a Programme Executive in RTE until 1977.

The DLB was born in 1973, so it's difficult to see how his grandfather or his uncle would have been able to help his career.

Bellbottoms · 01-02-2022 12:10am

You don't think the family still had friends or connections who would be willing to let the extended Andrews family come in and work as runners, interns, roving reporters, warm up men

"Fingers in his ear pretending he wasn't watching it"

Luckily Ryan didn't go into medicine like his brother.

While I would agree that RTE is a hotbed of nepotism, would it not be more likely that it would be exercised in favour of the families of those still working in the organisation, rather than the families of those who no longer were associated with RTE?

01-02-2022 10:08am

There’s a surfeit of fake laughter this morning.

01-02-2022 10:09am

What the heck, Boards acting up again “draft not saved”….

Ash.J.Williams · 01-02-2022 10:23am

What’s he on about, I can’t keep up

Welsh Megaman · 01-02-2022 10:24am

Simply Red’s best song.

avfc1874 · 01-02-2022 10:30am

Well done to who is trolling tubs. Sending in an email saying his show is entertaining and informative, haha,

Ha he he he he he 😆😁

01-02-2022 10:31am

The promo for Claire Byrne is only 24 hours old.

mistersifter · 01-02-2022 10:38am

Another of Ryan's neighbours.

avfc1874 · 01-02-2022 10:47am

You can just imagine the meeting this morning.... We've got this story Ryan of someone who was down on their luck and then everything turned around they won loads of money and are happy out. Or a death and illness ? You chose tubs 🤔🤔🤔

mistersifter · 01-02-2022 10:54am

Fake laughing about doing a Late Late special for the RTE coffee machine. Sure they might as well haul it out next time they're recruiting guests from the canteen.

Bannon and Shortt could talk about their favourite hot drink experiences in Montrosia. For the misery section, he could interview Rosanna Davidson about that time she spilled a hot americano on her tits.

Sharon Shannon, Mary Black and Denise Chaila could do a rap/trad mash-up of Blur's Coffee and TV.

mistersifter · 01-02-2022 10:56am

Youre not from D4 by any chance are ya love?!

Lots of friends of the show in the last few days. The tennis lady from Monkstown at the end of last week, the Dun Laoghaire lady with the tumour and patient of the host's brother yesterday and this one today

ButtersSuki · 01-02-2022 1:02pm

Hearing Tubs riffin’ about tennis would be like hearing Joe Duffy talking astrophysics.

There's no way his family background got him into RTE. It happened like this:

Young Ryan aced his UCD orts degree in Greek and Roman Civilisation, applied for a publicly advertised position and was shortlisted onto a panel of young hopefuls from around Ireland, before shining through in several interviews and securing the role of Gerry Ryan's runner based on raw talent.

What else could have possibly happened in the meritocracy that is Montrosia?

Sincerely,

Father Jessup (The most sarcastic priest in Ireland).

ButtersSuki · 01-02-2022 1:07pm

Tubs doing sport on Mondays usually goes like this:

I was delighted to see Team A overcome the odds and lift the Random Name Cup over the weekend. I took time out from reading one of the free books gifted to me as I’m an intellectual don’t you know to watch the Random Name Final on RTÉ - and what a great job the RTÉ team did in covering the game; it really is a credit to the RTE team how they managed to skillfully commentate on the game/match/race. It says here…I mean I watched the best game/match/race of the year. And to the losers of Random Team B, chin up you good eggs, there’s always next year!

ButtersSuki · 01-02-2022 1:09pm

Tubs first appearance on RTÉ tv was when he was 12 wasn’t it? Reviewing some U2 buke - which was I’m sure totes amazeballs because they’re Irish and everything Irish is totes amazeballs.

Genuine question - am I the only living Irish person who doesn’t like U2?

edit: that’s a bit of a lie….

i like some of the remixes…..the Perfecto Mix of Even Better Than The Real Thing, the Perfecto Mix of Lemon, and the David Morales Mix of Discotheque.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118564613#Comment_118564613

yeah, came across as a pompous little shít even back then.

Youre definitely not the only one who doesnt like U2. They a lot of hate. Especially in Ireland.

01-02-2022 4:32pm

So you can call a radio presenter "a pompous little shít" on this thread now? Have the mods given up?

He has been called much worse than that,its pointless reporting the posts even though they are clearly against the so called "charter".

This thread is really not for discussion of the RT Show it exists only to allow posters to abuse RT and complain about the show.

I occasionally post here saying something positive but nobody seems to mind.

Previously there was another thread set up to run in parallel with this one which was for discussion of the show but it was discontinued.

As for the mods and the charter, I prefer not to comment.

Brendan Bendar · 01-02-2022 7:28pm

Hmmm…….. another ‘down the middle’ critique of the RTS.

Lets not turn into the ‘luvvies’ where everyone is great, fantastic, talented, super, must see /hear /listen.

Im not a lad who abuses people on a personal basis but neither do I believe that everyone in Montrosia is ‘fantastic’.

No Sir.

Where does is it say not for discussion of the RT Show ?

I must have missed that along the way and accidentally discussed the format and repetitive tone of the show and how the persona and attitude of the host is not one I find amiable. I hold my hands up as I hadn't realised that this is not the place for discussion of the RT Show.

I must also retract the compliments I paid the programme recently if as you say the thread exists only to allow posters to abuse RT and complain about the show.

StevenToast · 01-02-2022 9:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118566904#Comment_118566904

Did you ask yourself why it was discontinued?

It was simply because there was only 1 contributer to it, talking to themselves!!

@ButtersSuki .....Comment of the year regarding Tubridy talking Sports...100% accurate.

He also comes across as sanctimonious, entitled, lazy and hypocritical. Who knows, maybe he just comes across that way cos of his terrible presenting style and lack of talent. Maybe he's not like that in real life 😜

elperello · 01-02-2022 10:22pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118566984#Comment_118566984

Relax, that's just my opinion, it's not set in stone.

As I said I contribute occasionally and nobody seems to mind.

There’s similarities for sure, but he didn’t ask the Minister if there had been any recent deaths or news of a terminal illness in his family so not 100% accurate. Intriguing.

ButtersSuki · 02-02-2022 10:08am

“a cherry bun from Bewleys which was delicious”

Delicious like a cake? Or delicious like a fire?

ButtersSuki · 02-02-2022 10:09am

The inane ramblings of a man stuck between the ages of 12 and 14, with the free time and leisurely pursuits of a pensioner, and the disposable income of a yearly lotto winner.

ButtersSuki · 02-02-2022 10:11am

Basically reading yesterday’s news today because he and the researchers were too lazy to read it before the show started yesterday.

Arne_Saknussem · 02-02-2022 10:11am

He's gonna write a Graphic Novel about JFK, isn't he?

ButtersSuki · 02-02-2022 10:12am

“Patrick and the Best President Ever defeat the Nasty Man with Kindness”

ButtersSuki · 02-02-2022 10:13am

“The Trail of Tears”, a new novel by Joseph Duffy, published in Germany.

ButtersSuki · 02-02-2022 10:15am

Intrigued by the spelling of “Maus”, I would bet my good testicle that he’s never heard of Deadmau5

Ash.J.Williams · 02-02-2022 10:22am

I reeely njoyd the segment on how graphic novels are not the beano

02-02-2022 10:28am

I didn't know that about his brother. Feel a wee bit sorry for Ryan now, tbh. Quick someone post the list of freebies again! :D

mistersifter · 02-02-2022 10:32am

Not sure which of the two is the bigger scam artist.

Woah. Great Wire-type vibes off that. Could have been 20 seconds shorter though.. a missed opportunity. ;)

Potential theme song for the radio show? The ending in particular has a real RTE feel to it.
