RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

Meeting of the minds here.
Forget about Frost Nixon.

And again tubs panders to a fairly talentless 'celeb', despite the fact he would normally look down on such folk, him being so intelligent, well read and discerning when it comes to who he looks up to.

But when you need filler material to pass 15 or 20min on your show, anyone will do.

You mean completely talentless

I meant him :)

I am aware


As McBain said ... " that's the joke "

"Very human"

I have idea what her book is about, or why she is famous.

An intro wouldn't of gone a miss Ryan.

Why doesn't he check her about letting kids on laptops and screens?

It's usually a bugbear of his.

I wonder how these types of celebs end up getting on to chat nonsense?

Is there a big database in the entertainment circuit, where tv and radio shows can look up who is available for a chat?

I mean, what made this radio show production team say " let's get Stacey Solomon on to chat about nothing".

She's doing a publicity run for the book. She was on UK TV the other evening as well

It's his fake laughs for me. So disingenuous.
Also, "your baby's crying is going through me..how do you stick it?" line was unbelievablely rude. Such utter rubbish, banal conversation.

She has a new book out (still not sure what it's about), and the publisher has publicists. Who make her available and arrange the interviews.

She doesn’t sound half as stupidly contrived and odd as when she first came in the scene

All put on!

It's probably a join-the-dots or a colour by numbers book

Is there less talk of freebies in recent weeks?

Do you think he got told to stop mentioning them?

Definite reduction in mentions. There was one or two occasions where he mentioned that 'someone' texted in for some reason to say they received xyz product.

Unsure what's the story on the Instagram as I don't have it but there was mention one time that there was going to be another Irish company promotion drive on the Instagram but there was no more said about it bar that one fleeting comment.
