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

Peter Dragon

There's tedious links and there’s tedious links but that link from The Chainsmokers to the smoking ban in France, complete with cartoonish French accents and cliched stereotypical phrases was as bad as it gets.

I’m happy to praise Ryan where it’s earned; but equally, I will criticise where it’s warranted.

What was the context for this bit?

Ryan promises “to be able to string sentences together” when he returns - actual quote!

I notice that another one of his Boards trigger words “intriguing” also worked in getting comment. If he comes up with "delicious" to describe something other than food or drink, I will rest my case.

How Soon Is Now

Never been so happy to hear this shite song haha! Interrupted another marvellous piece of ''Gosh women are amazing now'' propaganda that Q102 seem to be obsessed with lately.

So just to get this straight, you believe Ryan is actively watching the thread and trolling the posters?

What prompted him to say it was he made a mess of what he was trying to say in the preceding sentences because he was having another episode where his brain and thoughts are moving faster than his mouth can get the words out…..which even his fans (and I am a fan of the show) and regular listeners can attest to. This trait was also featured in a Gift Grub sketch where the producer told Ryan to “finish your sentences” - is Ryan trolling Mario Rosenstock too?

You’ve historically defended the use of delicious outside of food and drink, though I think you did accede its usage outside of that area was pretentious - but do feel free to set the record straight if I’m misquoting you.

I like Ryan’s show. As I’ve often said it’s inoffensive mid-morning radio. That does not however mean that it’s perfect, or that he or the show are immune from criticism - or do you disagree?

If Ryan chooses to use some of his stock phrases and words he overuses and if you want to take that as evidence for him trolling I can’t stop you. He could of course just be using them as he so frequently does - there’s a phrase for such words that I can’t think of right now (not “stock”) where broadcasters etc. use/overuse the same word in speech and it could just as easily be this.

As for resting your case, what can I say if you have absolute belief that you are right? I disagree, for the reasons I have outlined - but we are allowed to have differences of opinion. It would be quite the about turn from the previous position if he is thread watching and trolling now.

I’m in the airport now and heading to London for the weekend so I won’t be in a position to reply for some time, but I hope you and all boardsies have a nice weekend.

As I keep saying if Ryan actually read this thread he'd have hired someone to help with his pacing and diction.
