However, I recall the line 'Coltivando l'orgoglio di questo mentecatto', once said by someone, somewhere.

Fair play and kudos to you sir on that one.

An earlier life though. An earlier life.

The first thing out of Tubridys mouth this morning? "Has you ever been so far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" Use hiberno-english jackhole!

Go on, admit you were secretly thrilled when he said it as it gave you an opportunity to rush here and call him names.

Yes, he really said that. Cam'ahn.

So he should get a free pass for that kind of gibberish? Perfectly valid of the poster to comment critically on such verbal diarrhoea.

gotta admit that i think the show has and is changing slowly. i have no choice but to listen most mornings. the music is definitly more varied, the choice of topics to discuss is more varied (he had a full on conversation about porn a few weeks ago!) and he isnt half as wired or hyper anymore. i guess if those idiot moms keep phoning in to discuss their lives, he has no choice but to entertain them! they are probably his target audience at this stage. also he cant just cut someone off if he thinks that the majority dont want to hear the issue, whatever it may be. he took on too much, too soon.he wanted it all. as gay byrne once described him; "a young man in an awful hurry."

I never had a huge like for the man and his shows but I cant say I ever disliked him enough to change whatever im watching/listening to.

I listened today. Alan Shortt is bipolar and was obviously in a manic phase.

You're right, the show has matured almost over night, I feel it won't be long before Tubs reclaims the mornings from Darcy...

I think you must have misread my post, as I didn't question the validity, or otherwise, of the post in question.

What I questioned was the apparent relish the poster took in finding a flaw, and the apparent relish he took at calling Tubridy names.

Ah easy chair....tubs partridgisms are funny when they happen...

It does seem that they are happening less frequently since he was reeled in though.

It was going well until the women came on the air to discuss their haircuts....tubs doing his best to get them to admit they got hair cut for therapeutic reasons ie men....

I listened to the last half hour where he was interviewing 3 women about how hard it is today, money etc. I'll give credit where it is due, Tubridy did a decent job and the story's flowed. The show appears to be improving, I'll dip in and out a bit more and see how it goes.

withless

I was listening too.

Playing the clip from Network and the mammies of Ireland asking each other to 'stand up' and 'lets have a march' is just filler.

Is it possible that the thought of his show beginning to thrive which is so hard to stomach?

If he is beginning to settle in and the show become more attractive, I applaud that.

I'm listening.

Keith Barry. Sigh.

You can tell he hates his own show.

That was a distinctly one-sided Irish Times radio column yesterday, which has only now been drawn to my attention. Will Sir print letters of rebuttal, I wonder?

Nob Nation deserts Ryan Tubridy


Poor old Ryan Tubridy has just lost the best part of his radio show, meaning his chances of turning his falling listenership figures around are slimmer than ever.
Oliver Callan’s Nob Nation, the bafflingly popular ‘satirical’ sketch segments are no more, with Paul Galvin’s favourite person deciding to focus exclusively on his weekly show on Radio 1, Green Tea, leaving Tubs high and very, very dry.
According to today’s Irish Mail on Sunday, relations between Callan and Tubridy are “strained” with Tubridy uncomfortable at the controversy that surrounds Callan and his sketches.

But Nob Nation is the most popular download on iTunes from RTE and it was Tubridy’s predecessor in the 9am slot on 2FM, Gerry Ryan, who championed Callan’s appearances on his show.
Tubridy has shed almost half the listeners that Ryan had at the time of his death in April 2010 and the loss of Nob Nation is a huge blow to any hopes he has of turning his sinking ship of a show around.

more fuel to already blazing fire in RTE

I wonder were the relations strained because of the controversy caused by the sketches, or because of the content of the sketches...

Recent sketch about a FG/Labour Cabinet meeting (which was aired shortly after the recent JNLR results):

Enda Kenny: "Minister Noonan, how are the figures looking"..
Noonan: "These are the worst set of figures I have ever seen"..
Enda Kenny: "Enough about Tubridy, how is the country doing... "... everybody laughs..

Callan is tripe in fairness. Great at mimicking the voices, but no imagination of stories in comparison to Nob Nation.

Second rate at best!

Harry Angstrom

It was fairly obvious that Tubridy had very little time for Nob Nation. Gerry Ryan always played it straight after the 10 o'clock news - Tubridy seemed to play it only when he felt like it.

Tubridy is definitely in the wrong profession if he can't take a bit of gentle ribbing at his expense. Remember how he said he'd never have Gordon Ramsey back on the LLS because of the big ear, skinny jibes??

This of course was only after Tubridy had slagged Ramsey off first. :rolleyes:

It was your decision, Ryan, to go into the whole showbiz thing. You want to be in the public eye for a living, well then, deal with the consequences and for God's sake, stop taking yourself so seriously man...

Nob nation is funny to people who find local pantomines funny....you know the ones where in the middle of dick wittington somebody would namedrop members of the current government or local minor celebrities or businessmen. In fairness to Gift Grub they do give the comedy end of things a good go.
