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

All is right in the world as long as Ryan Tubridy is asked for a few selfies and gets friendship bracelets from teenage girls......

A 50 + year old man has no business attending that concert unless accompanying young relatives...

Its all so very creepy and pathetic.....

Yeah, if you said a 50yr old man was standing in OConnell Street chatting with young teenage girls and taking friendship bracelets off them, and getting selfies, you'd say it was creepy AF.

But when it's Tubs, it's all good and a reason for a news story.

and then he went for a burger and chips without a single thought for the millions of starving children all over the world. He’s literally worse than Hitler (but with more friendship bracelets).

This mornings radio show was another venture into the obscure. He continues the weekend trainwreck and for what could be made of it: Going on about more creepy stories of kid's plastic toys in libraries - an elongated piece that if it had been broadcast 8 hours earlier, it may have been of benefit to folks who have difficulties reaching the land of Zed. He stumbles and mumbles into a piece that is relevant ONLY to his local area of Monkstown - of course the closing down of Hewitts newsagents. He said that when he was in the headlines (for defrauding the taxpayer) the lady behind the counter would ask him "are you ok?" offer him some liquorice allsorts.... and then tell him reassuringly "you'll be okay"

He rambles incoherently comparable to Joe Biden, it can be hard work for the listener to process as his voice is sometimes so unclear and is unable to produce "r's" correctly. Difficulty pronouncing the /r/ sound is known as rhotacism as /r/ is one of the most challenging sounds to pronounce in the English language. To accompany that, the modern D4/South Dublin/so called “Dortspeak” accent ranks among the most irritating, patronising and transparently fake accents in the entire English speaking world. In fact, it probably takes the title.

I suppose there is little chance of a teenager asking him awkward questions about the €150k.

Next he'll be jetting back to hang out with kids at Barney on ice, or whatever 9 year olds are into it.

Well all he has to utter is "Dizney on ice" as on his cue card on his pocket.

Emmet, I think it has been very clearly stated up-thread that I am not Buttersuki. I am probably a number of B's in your eyes but Butters is one that I am definitely not.

Dude, no one else listens to the show or listened to the old show.

Anyway, it’s fine, as long as you keep your posts within this forum you should be grand. That was the “mistake” Alzer made.

Both of them could even work out better with Irish audiences than Tubridy. They are younger and probably closer to the target age demographics of Virgin Radio and Q102/etc.

Seemingly a vox pop was done in uk recently by some radio TV magazine as regards all DJS.in uk .tubs was only heard of by 20 out of 5000 people ..says it all..

That's 0.4%.

Irish born and now living in the UK is 0.5%.

So he has little to no increased presence there over the past 6 months. He needs a tabloid scandal or something similar to up his profile.
