RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

he'll be getting free bee gees teeth whitening toothpaste tomorrow

TheHomeService

For such an educated, well read man, Tubridy mangled Pete Paphides’ name!

Duffyesque pronunciation!

Sir Oxman

well, he lasted 20 minutes without mentioning the 'c' word

PieOhMy

3rd or 4th shop referenced today. This is counting auctioneers and New York book stores so spare me the 'supporting small irish business' yarn. Its naked shilling.

I suspect this Instagram plan is a workaround to thank people who sent in free stuff but he seems to have been curtailed with thanking them live on air recently (apart from today)

im watching rick stein in france on both RTE & BBC, why isn't he sending me free signed book

I have a signed Rick Stein book too.

I went to Cornwall, bought the book in his shop, queued up, and got it signed by Rick.

Unlike Tubs.

"This is not a covid interview......
how are you getting on with it?"

mistersifter

Amazing that a self-professed music fan is only discovering the Bee Gees at 50 years of age.

sligojoek

Describe THAT trip.

TheHomeService

“Delivery guys are great. Really busy. Got candles delivered. They were broken. But that’s ok. They are really busy. Got them replaced. Delivery guys are great”

I hate that passive aggressive crap from Tubridy

sligojoek

What was the point of that interview? Was it because she watched a movie about Iceland?

sligojoek

Im Ireland the air has a certain quality we call our own.

TheHomeService

OK, I’ll bite.

What’s the point of this interview?

Brilliant thanks for the tip. I can't wait to see it.

Bellbottoms

Wait, is Ryan complaining about people giving out unrealistic timelines for when the pandemic will be over.

PieOhMy

Sometimes its actually not too bad. As 15mins of radio go in the morning that was pretty good listening. Not morose or depressing. Breezy and grand. There is potential in this show I think. The american politics segment is gone and the covid segment is gone for the moment and in this listeners opinion things are much better for it. If they could just wean themselves off the terminal illness / teacher phone calls things could be salvaged!

Edit
The fake emails and maybe over reliance on texts from listeners is a bit tiring tho, it works on ronan Collins coz theres a good mix of music but a relentless 10 segment of reading texts is hard to focus on

TheHomeService

Fake email alert!

Agreed. I’d add preaching about books to the “avoid” list, though.

Also, such light, fluffy broadcasting is not worth €500k per annum.

TheHomeService

And, right on cue, along comes another bloody chat with a teacher.

EDIT: And a US election reference.

PieOhMy

This week so far thats 2 illness callers and 1 teacher?

Trying to be positive so will leave it for the day now. They dont make it easy.

sligojoek

Am emailer "goofing around" on youtube.

Right.

AllForIt

I made popcorn every day when Trump was in office.

Mango Joe

Ryans fake hollow laugh at his own comments is really starting to become altogether too cringy - Especially that thing he's doing more and more where he says something that is just so damn " " hilarious " " and then goes to start his next sentence but he cannot finish it because he's fake laughing at the previous thing because it was just so, so funny - something he himself has just said, basically inducing his own bouts of fake laughing to emphasise how funny and witty it actually was.

Please give strength.

TheHomeService

So, how is Tubridy going to deal with the total sh!thousery of the ASTI?

Will he just say that teachers are good eggs, and will do the right thing?

generalgerry

More self promotion. The Ryan Tubridy feedback loop.

TheHomeService

Going for Gold.

As I said before, Duffy is like Henry Kelly, which is flattering to neither.

EDIT: And an Alan Partridge reference. He's trolling us.
