150KTubs - future career in Virgin Radio and other soulful pursuits **Mod: Read OP**

I don't mind the us.online.bits. good to see what the selebs are up to😁

Is tubs trying to make us feel so sorry for him we'll be begging rte to have him back🤔 between the celeb encounters (real or imaginary), the pose with book at side (I'm a intellectual), or photo op from train travelling to Cornwall😲 it's starting to wear one and it's only the 4th(?) week.

The irony of this topic the gowl is running with last friday and yet again today about "mispronounced words" as he stumbles across the intro piece stuttering and mispronouncing even the artist name of the record he is coming out of (Christina Aguilera)

Once again lecturing the audience.

If he could speak clearly himself that would be a start.

I really doubt his “instagram melted” over the weekend

Spoofer of the highest order

Ah! The poor auld gausen, as my Grandmother would say, the poor auld gausen.

On the other hand that Leadership team and Board are doing a great job in RTÉ. 400k for a radio show and a TV chat show, the amount RTÉ once said that RT was on.

Is anyone listening???

Let's be honest, he's basically gone into retirement by making this move.

He will become more irrelevant in Ireland with each passing day

I’ve tried to listen, and it’s relentless ads, bland music, and then Tubridy waffling on.

very unlikely that we will hear any music by his great friend Sinead….

Generally all or any music Tubridy has ever filled time between talking and spoofing / waffling with has had one theme in common - it is all selected by the "boffins through the glass" in the control room of whatever studio he is in be it RTE or now, Virgin. He has no skill as to the basics of playing music on air and always comes across as quite disconnected to whatever is being played. He sounds shocked, stunned, nervous and all over the place in any musical junctures I have ever had the misfortune of hearing him on. Please bear in mind that RTE paid this clown 550k a year for far too long.

To be concise, "Tubridy - there is the door. "

P.s. I got a warning for a comment or reply the other day - not to be "too critical" was the advisory. I think anyone that knows me would say I am being polite and kind here re: Tubs and if i told you what I REALLY think of him then that might warrant being removed from these forums.

In a word, NO!

He is 50 and has too many bad habits.

For all the education he has some elocution lessons in his childhood might have done better for him. Elsewhere it has been suggested that his rapid fire speech is some side effect of Adderal. Not sure but we really should be ashamed as a nation at his description as "Legendary Irish Broadcaster" - a disrespect to the memory of Terry Wogan * who left rte after 8 years there to go to The BBC. 8 years into Tubs nepo career he still sounded like an adenoidal version of his irritating self. Its no wonder he was not asked back at R2. He was cringe-making doing the shows many of them via ISDN from Montrose.

moderator: Enda Caldwell was warned for this.

It’s getting to the stage that the man is living rent free inside the head of some folks around here. The dude is over in London, making coin, writing for a paper and has moved on with his life.

I’d suggest it would be healthy if some of you did the same.

I'd still astounded he was getting 700k when we had 15% unemployment.

If he is on 70K now then he should be glad.

Tubs hasn't exactly moved onto his British audience yet.

Thanks Choclatier, love your work particularly these Ferrero Rochers you are really spoiling us each and every reader to this thread and discussion comments!

No, I saw him waiting on someone at Dublin airport once (maybe it was Paul Mc Cartney?) Long and streak are words often used to describe - they are appropriate descriptions of his appearance I feel.

I was waiting on people far more interesting to me so I left it there!

I have met (and worked with) dozens of people who were unfortunate enough to have worked with him on the likes of his radio show and The Late Late and they all say he is a prima donna and not great to work with. He has to have 5 or 6 people following him in to the studio when he had a voice over to record for 2fm for example.

P.s. say what you want about me, no really, be my guest. We are here to discuss 150k Tubs however and HIS future not mine, plus I've to go now, Mc Graths Carpets outside Ennis are having a SALE NOW ON!!!! LMAO!!!

Did anyone even listen today? The thread is sinking even not to mention his show!
