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

He seems to have upped the “Nerd” shtick 1000000%.

I’d say it’s definitely a podcast. Vogue will up the dumb model ditzy gimmick. Uncle Tubs will be overly bookish and discuss things all intellectually.

High on the every episode bingo card will be. Tubs doing a “is that what the kids are doing now” bumbling idiot bit.

In his Insta post he states that Vogue is teaching him how to hold a phone.

The writers of Partridge will get realms of new material if they follow Tubridys rise and fall, or fall and rise.

A story line where everyone else in the BBC is asked to take paycuts but Alan tries to negotiate a secret deal to get a payrise would be hilarious. He could do roadshows for dettol or something as a cover for the payrise.

They could call it Dumb and Dumber.

I don't have any strong opinions on Vogue Williams, she done well making a personal business brand for girls/ladies who like nice things, and good for her.

I am bemused though as to how this linkage with Tubs works for her brand. Is there Stockholm syndrome at play amongst those who need to hear Tubs and she's using Tubs to reach older ladies who were passive listeners to his RTE shows?

If Virgin Radio tap him on the shoulder and tell him "out" it's also likely he'll try to spin a narrative that England has changed for the worse since the days of Wogan, while simultaneously ignoring Norton's success.

That's been Tub's problem, his projection onto things, becoming the Toyman, now the Bookman etc...

A good radio presenter/host with an ear for the public doesn't need a gimmick. It's not vaudeville where people had signature acts.

No disrespect to Vogue at all, she doesn't pretend to me something she's not, but if Tubs is such a bookish, intellectual type, why is he teaming up with her to do a podcast?

It's a bit like Mary Beard announcing a new show where she teams up with Joey Essex to talk about history.

It's so tedious. Ryan, come out. Just come out and admit that behind closed doors, you stick on a tracksuit bottoms, a pair of runners and veg out on reality tv to unwind. Admit that your favourite film is Lethal Weapon. Admit that your favourite books are autobiographies of self made millionaires who own penthouses all over the world and spit at peasants. Admit that the man you most admire in the industry is Piers Morgan. Throw all those unread novels into the charity shop and just admit who you are man!

I was only joking! I know there's no way that amateur is going to get a job at the BBC.

The fact he went to Virgin tells you all you need to know about the BBC situation.

He has links and you could literally say he has had lengthy try outs with the BBC. If they were mad to get him he'd have walked straight in.

Ever hear about the chap crying to a vaudeville performer about how he lost his family in a car crash and how utterly devastated he is and the vaudeville act said he knew exactly how he feels as he once lost his suitcase 😀

Okay, since everyone is gung ho criticising Tubridy, let's say you were a Careers coach, what do you think he might be good at?

Milky Bar Kid.

If he got proper writers and sold a self deprecating comedy documentary movie about BOUNCING BACK. It would be huge

I see him as a bank clerk, maybe working his way up to manager. Or a civil servant in the Registry of Deeds. I have this vision of him rubber-stamping documents.
