    So as opposed to interviewing one of the people to find out what they think, you bring on a college professor to tell us why they are wrong. This is where modern journalism has got to.

    From what I heard (I was only half listening) Tubridy doesn’t appear to know that Churchill’s Black Dog was how he referred to his depression.

    Bloody hell, he’s not as well read as he claims.

    Gaybo often referred to depression as being colloquially called the Black Dog, how it followed people around who suffered from it such that they couldn't easily shake it off.

    That was Churchill's old euphemism for depression.

    Is that even possible?

    Although to be fair the children of diplomats who go to school here are excused from having to learn the language.

    I noticed this. He has said a few times he'd love to learb Irish.

    It's all part of his fantasy of being seen as a scholarly and cultured fellow, who's in touch with his Connemara roots. A bit like when he says he'd love to be able to play piano like Billy Joel.

    the reality is that the work involved in learning an instrument or a language even to an intermediate level is far beyond anything he is prepared to do. It requires genuine interest, dedication and graft in the thing.

    He's a poor man's Walter Mitty is all.

    After full and frank discussions with a radio moderator, I was kindly permitted to create this thread.
    It is intended for genuine discussion of the program content. Focusing on the content of the show. It is not a parody thread.

    There is already a parody thread which excellently discusses the presenter and his mannerisms in forensic detail.
    The parody thread is for individuals who take a keen interest in those matters who may or may not enjoy the show. It is a thread where there is an ironic/satirical/vindictive look at the presenter, his speech patterns, mannerisms, his wages, memes.freebie lists, and so on. With the utmost endeavour.

    See below:

    ‘The Toyman: a wry look at the Ryan Tubridy Show’


    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=115898166


    Although that thread is superbly done on those aspects (and is the clearly the heir apparent to the satirical cultural behemoth in the boards.ie radio section) -
    This thread here is not intended for that type of satirical discussion.

    It is intended to move away from that ‘personality’ based discussion and focus on the actual content of the show. Rather than the distraction of a ‘personality’ based discussion which prevails in the parody thread above.

    When I say discussion I do not mean simple one liners. It would be nice if posters backed up why they hold the viewpoint.
    I trust any moderator will objectively view this thread in its appropriate light on the basis of its intent. It is hoped that this thread will be a more welcoming one for those posters who listen to the show, and wish to discuss its content and/or topics. Away from the satirical type of discussion.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    There was mention today of the Stella Cinema in Ranelagh and Keem Bay on Achill Island Beach in Achill in Mayo. For their ascetics. I suppose you call it a nice bit of escapism given the times that are in it.

    Bit of trivia about a Churchill painting owned by FDR and found its way to Brad Pitt. Pitt got the Churchill bug after his part in the film Inglorious Bastards. Personally I was always mixed on that film to be honest. If I remember it was a bit on the long side.

    The Arás got a new Dog apparently I am not sure the Dogs name was mentioned. It is the same breed as the other dog that is already there - Bród.
    Likely an Irish name I suppose. It was a filler bit really building up to the Peig discussion

    Personally, I was not too keen on the interview with yer wan from TG4 who is doing a show about Peig Sayers. Peig can feck off as far as I am concerned!

    I enjoyed the conspiracy theories bit interesting discussion with a fella called Stephen Murphy - the marketing Prof who studied it. Best bit of the show in my opinion. Shame it was only tagged on the end for a few minutes.

    Echoes of all social media and even this format! Mentions of status and reputation within a 'community' people who think the same with their conspiracies. Resulting in its spread basically a creation of a perfect storm. Built on frustration, isolation, and external pressures.

    I thought there was a decent flow to the show. Took his time to get motoring though maybe spend a bit too long on the cinema stuff. Too much time given to the Peig discussion imo, and not enough time given to why people believe in conspiracy theories.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Well done on getting this thread set up!!! Not an easy task I would wager given the prevailing tenor of posts and what is allowed be posted in the Radio forum.

    I enjoy the 10-15 minutes I hear of a morning before I start work. A little bit of adult radio as opposed to the children and childish ‘bantz’ on RTE’s second radio station.

    Always found it odd that Peig Sayers’ work got some grief for, allegedly, being somewhat embellished but that charlatan Frank McCourt still gets praised and lauded.

    Peig always looked upon her own life with positivity and humour, thankful to God for the smaller mercies etc. However, to me, as a teenager, not the most inspirational :D

    Indeed it was, but Tubridy thought it was referring to an actual dog!

    Come On Eileen is an awful song.

    Unless he has Kevin Rowland on the LLS as a guest, in which case it's a fantastic song.

    Bryan would have you believe a student in UL wrote it last night whilst lamenting the partying behaviour of their peers.

    Clearly it was written by a staffer or one of the producers. Part of me wonders does Tubs actually know they’re fake, or does he think they’re real.
