The Ryan Tubridy Show **Mod: Read OP**

Peter Dragon

Ryan pulling back the curtain on meeting famous people - how some are nice and friendly and you’re not allowed look others in the eye. I know which bracket Ryan falls into!

The New Radicals on now, this song (like many on the show’s playlist, another would be No Doubt’s “Just A Girl” from yesterday’s show) seems to be on rather frequently.

Was talking about Law and Order:SVU but called it SUV by mistake to howls of laughter from the production team. Rescued it by saying that it must be a unit that only deals with car accidents🤣

That was quite the gaffe, followed up with him saying that he confuses Sunscreen UV with IVF.

RDS is displaying Sia whilst REM plays. 🤷‍♂️

Osaka airport baggage handling discussion now. Cool airport in fairness, I’ve been a few times.

Ryan showing self-awareness now by introducing a segment oh his humblebragging with him declaring he’s name dropping. He then proceeds to tell the Ed Sheeran guitar story again in case anyone hadn’t heard it before.

It's easy to mock but a jetset lifestyle has its own pitfalls.

Maybe Paddypower can sponsor his own private plane.

I wasn't listening, but that screams rehearsed banter to me. They might have got the idea from Reddit/Facebook.

There's a lot of it about.

I’m not sure how saying I’ve been in a particular airport a few times counts as humblebragging, unless my fans (note: sarcasm) are international airport enthusiasts….but ok. 🤷‍♂️

Ryan is more of a private helicopter traveller.

Tubs complaining bitterly about something feck all peope knew or cared about and thereby advertising is a bit unwise. "Barbra Streisand effect" comes to mind. Don't get me wrong I don't care. One of my chickens just died😔

Sorry to hear about the chicken.

Ryan going to Knock by mistake is strange. Did he explain how/why it happened? He is not the first to turn up at a wrong airport of course. Or even arrive at the wrong one.

Ryan's mind operates at a different altitude compared to us mere groundlings. He may have mistook a booking for the rebranded West Ireland Airport as meaning Shannon International.

I'm sure it will be an adventure to add to his many jetset hilarities with which to spoil his avid listeners. Oh how the other half live.

are we sure it actually happened- in the universe we inhabit. And it’s not just a producer inspired yarn to generate attention? Or am I being cynical?

Are you suggesting Ryan’s show is inauthentic?

yagan

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123425442#Comment_123425442

He's a professional broadcaster with a loyal following that hang on his every utterance. You make it sound like he's some sort of a master baiter.

He might not be to your taste but some people can't get by without Tubs emissions.

He would have a running order, and the "gaffe" about SUV would be part of that. Radio programmes would fall apart without a running order. The skill is to make things appear as if they are off the cuff banter.

From our old friends in AI:

AI OverviewA radio programme running order, also known as a run sheet, is a detailed plan for a specific episode of a radio program. It outlines the order of segments, including music, talk, news, and features, ensuring a smooth and efficient broadcast. It helps hosts, producers, and technicians coordinate their actions and stay on schedule. 

This is from one of our posters back in the day when Ryan was in RTE:

"At a Tommy Tiernan gig this evening-made a nice couple of sly digs at the ToyBoy. Apparently every interview is scripted to the nth degree. You're contacted by producers/support staff any time from the preceding Monday to do a run through, and to quote himself, Ryan knows exactly what you're going to say, and what to say back to you. At least one comparison was made between Tubridy and a puppet (as in, someone needed to work him behind the scenes because he wasn't capable of spontaneity himself)"

That wasn’t my question - but thanks for the lengthy reply.

dxhound2005

This is what AI has to say. The opening paragraph, and there is more reading after that:

AI OverviewIt's difficult to definitively say whether Ryan Tubridy is inauthentic, as this is a subjective assessment. However, there's a growing perception of him being inauthentic, particularly since he left RTÉ. This perception is fueled by several factors, including his history of public statements and the controversies surrounding his departure from the national broadcaster. 

yagan

Well obviously there's a market for inauthentic background utterings between classic 80s and 90s hits.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's smashing it in london because his audience don't need him to be coherent.

Who knows, maybe some of his English audience mistake his manic patter for a foreign language and feel they're getting a bit of culture.

Being an avid listener is not a passive experience. Judging by what is relayed by them on the thread.

They have to watch out for: The choice of music, and whether it matches the RDS. Ryan's speech impediments and mispronunciations. Reptitions of anecdotes and encounters with celebrities. Recorded material masquerading as live. Whether banter / manic patter is spontaneous or rehearsed. And unkind, even harsh comments.

(I am an avid reader of the thread, occasional contributor. Not a listener).

I’m confused by this post as you mention “Ryan’s speech impediments and mispronunciations” yet I do recall you frequently denying there is any difficulty with the vocal elements of his delivery and his speech to a UK audience. This seems somewhat contradictory to that messaging, no?

Well as per last week AI isn’t accepted as a credible or reliable source (yet). Do you perhaps have any thoughts of your own on the topic as these would I feel offer more to the discussion than a computer generated answer.

I go to a few Italian run cafes in Ireland that play Italian pop music radio stations. I have no comprehension of what inanities are uttered between songs but its extremely pleasant holiday like dislocation to escape the depressing Irish radios station (except lyricfm)

Our Ryan's patter is so fast and imprecise as to be as foreign and exotic to a British ear.

He really has found his niche and I'm sure he's a happier and sunnier person for it.

hawley

He's riffing on the conclave this morning. Called waiting for the white smoke looking at "the mini, fun-size, elves chimney"🤣 Says that it's not about religion but just like a general election. A long time since he had this type of freedom to be so outrageous on radio. Don't think that he cares anymore, he's saying the first thing that comes into his head😁

GSF

Virgin Radio seems to be an experiment in doing Irish local radio to a U.K. audience

"he's saying the first thing that comes into his head"

Nothing new there.

dxhound2005

Part of the experiment is introducing English ears to the concept of riffing on the radio.

Peter Dragon

It was a strange one this morning. He played a what’s app voice message on the show and injected some chat into it himself to make it sound like it was a conversation (but it wasn’t) - it was very weird and totally staged. He seemed rather giddy this morning tbh.

Then he handed over to Felix (I hadn’t heard this name before) because his “mouse is acting the maggot”. Is Felix a newbie and/or is Conor on holidays?

hawley

Conor is on holiday. Off sunning himself. Was that the message from a Dublin woman talking about watching for the white smoke?

No, she was English - at least I think she was!
