Who was covering for Tubridy this morning just after 9am?

    Was driving to work and some person without introducing themselves just started manically talking for 25 mins straight (likely more as I left car at that stage) without pausing or taking a breath blathering incessently like they were on a mad cocktail of ritalin and coke.

    On and on they went about dogs, utter general nonsense and the most inane almost random trivia, except it also bizarrely seemed heavily scripted - aimed at what demographic I'll never understand.

    I was just utterly perplexed as to who this was, why they were incognito and why nobody pulled a plug?

    Didn’t hear it as I am now an RTE Gold convert but it sounds (from your description) like Baz who filled in for Darcy recently!

    I didn't hear this, but I heard him do the same before when filling in for another show.

    It was awful. Made no sense at all. Random babbling about a huge range of topics like he'd had way too many coffees.

    Baz Ashmawy, caught 2 mins of it before turning off, what a rubbish presenter and interviewer.

    Thanks all - Yes, it was just this unrelenting stream of dialogue, a soliloquy of innanity that was so mercilessly mundane it became utter car crash radio - so bad it was fascinating.....

    Ideal substitute for Ryan Tubridy, then.

    Tubridy does a twenty minute ramble every morning at the start of the show too I think.
