RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

Speaking of utterly shameless... A girl twisted her ankle on the climb.

The Mirror, of course, reports Tubs to be the hero.

A quick glance at instagram shows that as per standard RT it's just all about the photo opp.

In her video you will see the grinning RT in full self promotion mode...

Meanwhile, Karl Henry, who doesn't get a mention, and is merely referred to as his "crew" was actually the one who aided her. It's some carry on.

And regardless of who helped her, isn't this not just normal discourse!?! We need to stop putting people on pedistals for doing the ordinary decent things...

RT waxes lyrical about how kind instagram is and twitter is full of mean people... Is it any wonder he has this view. Refers to the Internet as "the wild west"... The only cowboy I see here is him... Sitting on his backside "helping"

He's team actually told him to move on it was so bad

Then he moved onto talking about narcissists taking selfies..... The irony

Reading out top 10 lists of scents and other nonsense... There'll be nothing left for poor D'Arcy today

That was so weird.. Said with zero connection to anything!

One of the producers has been seconded to Riffin Ryan's legal team and as a result there was less people to print out and highlight arictles from the MSN homepage for him to read, for the first time on air.

Other producers may have been scrambled to organise flights and accommodation and tickets for Ryan's birthday extravanganza as he asked them to do last week, on air.

Someone else on the team could have been caught up in freebie sorting duties I.e brining the items Ryan wants to keep to his car.

Not forgetting the person tasked with going back over old episodes of the programme online and removing segements, such as Riffin Ryan's trademark humour in the early days of the atrocities occurring in Ukraikne when he laughed about how we now at least know "the correct way to pronounce chicken kyiv".

As you can see the production effort is more of a support function for their star man rather than people who actually try and produce any type of work they could be proud of. I guess these are the sacrifices rte must make to prevent their big stars from going to other stations or moving abroad.

What Charlie Bird achieved was absolutely astounding both mentally and physically. Absolutely nothing should have been aloud to over shadow that endeavour and achievement.

I was so disgusted to hear him speak about and for the tabloids to print about Tubridys little stumbles on his way up the reek. He should have just been in the background.

Jesus poor Charlie has MND and not one single mention of his physical difficulties on the climb, just gratitude and humility.

RT made a show of himself this time.

Imagine if Tommy Tiernan had that gig, his humanity and humour would lift mountains.... Not that Charlie and Claire did that themselves.

From the mirror

"Tubridy, who arrived late after presenting the Late Late Show in Dublin just hours before, says he suffered a few slips along the way as he scaled the rocky Mayo mountain with just four hours sleep.

“There was a part of it with brittle stones and rocks and that was tough. I would like to thank a number of people, I slipped down through the rocks and landed on, you just landed on people, thankfully there’s not a whole heap of me to land on anyone so I don’t think I caused them any physical pain "

Also this 4 hours sleep BS... The Late Late show (which needs to be amended to the early show) ended at 11pm.

He didn't get to mayo until nearly 12 hours later... By copper.

I'd say his alarm went off at 9am.

And even if he did get up early, so what! Every commuter in the country faces that in their regular life.

The man is just son incredibly needy. Sad really.

There is actually no body that has come forward to say tubs climbed Croagh Patrick .even all his pics supposedly out amongst the common man are staged..he gets people to do shopping for him.so I heard

I do think he did it... All his needy liiInstagram stories seem to verify he did.

He's physically a very fit man. Climbed Carrountoohil last year, irelands highest mountain. He loves to give off this air of helplessness on air like the comedy act climbing the hill, oh look at me....last week he enthralled the listeners with a story of how his bycle lock broke (and yes it did lead to him get a freebie replacement) but he chortled laughing saying "I know you are all laughing at the idea of me on a bike hahaha"... No we're not actually, in fact no one cares, he is just a voice on the radio that most people can't be bothered to retune the radio between Morning Ireland and Claire Byrne... Its never cost me a thought to imagine him on a bike. Its just a man on a bike ffs. If the kids carried on with such attention seeking on such an constant basis you'd worry.

I shouldn't care but I take great exception to this behaviour in the face of such a dignified event for Charlie.

It's really awful 🤦
