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

Perhaps he's very popular in South West Asia?

It's an unfathomable mystery how a grown man in his fifties doesn't know how to read the room. Imagine what the threads would be like here if one of our stations took on a British DJ who couldn't stop going on about rugby league, Cornwall Airport and his mission to visit every Easons in Dublin.

Ryan is really thriving. The UK have mined a real gem. It' s effortless. We're never getting him back. He's outgrown us now. 🙄

He reminds me of Phil Dunphy in Modern Family, not sure why.

I was having a good chat with a producer that had the Craic with Paul McCartney and he said "Paul McCartney hates Paul McCartney " said he's really sound, loves nature , is in Ireland a lot due to his love of nature , but finds fanboys annoying and would prefer to chat away without out

So therefore no interest in Tubs 😀😀

Dunno. It's too cryptic for little old me.

I don't usually punish myself on Mondays, but i list the run of myself today & listened to the Prattle Master in dispatches.

To say he was in overdrive is an understatement. Acting like Charlie in Willie Wonkas chocolate factory having been to Twickers for the first time. A strange debut for an allegedly seasoned rugby fan, whose brother works in the industry.

He overstepped the mark when discussing the Princess of Wales picture. Bragged ad infinitum of his weekend, minute by boring minute. Launched into a diatribe of Oscar winners he previously interviewed. Most sentences unfinished. Me, my, mine, I dominate his narrative. The vocal levels cover multiple octaves in a 7 word sentence. And I use the word sentence with a stretch.

If this twit feels he's sitting pretty in London on an obscure rain channel, until Virgin give him a TV gig in Ireland, he's deluded. I'd say that his Plan A, hence the poor engagement with the English listenership. However, he's negated to factor in that's likely contingent on him improving & polishing his brand & growing his audience. None of which he's doing, he thinks the door will swing own for him automatically. These radio shows just walk him further out of the picture. I don't rate Brian Dowling, & think he's innately unsuitable for TV. But Christ Tubs is 10 times worse

He'd be off for all of next week for sure, what with the bank holiday being next Monday

I never listened to him, still don't, but as a fall from grace story it is gripping.

I follow the thread for the latest on the Barter account boy.

This thread is great, as is the entire radio forum. Full of very eccentric posters. I mean that in the best possible way. I do find the concept of “hate listening” to be utterly bizarre, but the world isn’t always rational.
