Not a good look. I wonder did he go because this was going to come to light?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whats even more hilarious is you think the protest bon-payment is a mark of support for Tubridy when it is nothing of the sort. It is a protest non-payment because of waste and extravagant payments in exchange for mediocrity. If you think non-payment is bad now, it will become rampant were they to reinstate him,
Things rapidly going pear-shaped for RTE.
Wonder can they recover some of the money wasted on that Toy Show musical from the clowns responsible for it?

The most hilarious part about all of it is Ryan’s hypocrisy on the man. He’d probably take a selfie with Jeremy Kyle at the moment to try and keep himself in the headlines.
There’s a depth to Tubridy’s shallowness.
No one could stop RT from going kamikaze on his own sweet gig.
he spat the dummy out.
I listen to a lot of podcasts but they are as you infer rather niche. Some draw large audiences, others don’t….it’s relative. There’s a few basketball and movie podcasts I listen to that are American-based and hosted that have large audiences, but even successful niche podcasts (I listen to Dunphy’s pod work for example) this side of the world have small audiences.
That said some local podcasts that are successful are very low on the IQ factor, so I suppose Tubs’ frivolous content would be at home there. Could Tubs compete with Joanne and Vogue on the Prosecco Express? Or keep her lit like The 2 Johnnies?
NK I believe “owns”/runs Garrihy’s podcast, and I believe there’s one from Matt Cooper and Ivan Yates (together) on the way (apologies if it’s already started), so you can see that 10 years after they became mainstream NK is trying to get into this space….with ownership it seems.
Neither of them look well
"he might never come back"
Just imagine.
Cue the Clarkson GIF. :)
Ironically a Jeremy Kyle style show is one area where he could actually make a comeback as it doesn't require human empathy, just someone to introduce the fighters, sorry I mean guests. All he has to do is read from cue cards about who shagged whose sister first and then just make sure there's a bouncer nearby.
Only downside is he'd only get a couple of seasons before everyone starts recognising the usual suspects. I believe the JK show researchers used to find guests by hanging around shopping centres in Manchester.
RTE down 21million indeed.
Restoring Tubridy would arguably jack it up to 42 million.
Taxpayers have seen on all fronts, front of house and so called management that they have been ridden bareback by this lot in Montrose.
I can assure you the blood letting still has a long way to go, my friend.
The viewers have seen and heard enough, they won't be butt reamed by these liggers for too much longer.
I get the feeling that rather than be invited by these people Tubridy is just turning up at their place of work and taking selfies, prob. text them he’s downstairs when a clueless receptionist doesn’t recognize him and says he can’t come in without an appointment. He must be trying to fit as many as he can into a 3-4 day trip.
it’s all very calculated (and desperate). Not once before when he was on many of his RTÉ/taxpayer-funded London trips did he post a picture to social media of him meeting anyone in the public eye. Intriguing.
The truth hurts... the public at large have watched aghast the wanton waste of licence money in RTE and the over inflated payments to and ego of your hero. Times up, the party is over and so is Tubridys career on RTE and likely too in all Irish broadcast media. Let him figure out how to turn a penny and get real customers.
I can see the game plan here. RT does a weekly podcast interviewing interesting people, this attracts tens of thousands of listens and after a year or so, this will convince his higher up buddies in RTE that his penance with the public is complete.
The key metric though is the amount of listens the podcast gets.
Tubs is the most known in all this, but there are others probably creaming it off the taxpayers but remain largely unknown in the same way most remember Sean Fitzpatrick and Fingleton, but can't recall any other bailed out names from the other larger bigger banks.
He's back baby!
Still got the magic.
Noel will have the interns locked away in a room pressing “play” on the podcast on as many devices as possible 24/7.
Multimillionaire boasting about his free gifts to another multimillionaire.
Man of the people alright.
Perfect timing for Ryan
Tubs wouldn't be able to understand the callers.
You say that like it's a bad thing. Why would the UK papers be covering his trip, even if he was known over there? Thousands of very well known people travel in and out of London every day without media comment.
As it stands, he's getting exposure to a UK audience from high profile broadcasters like Morgan, Evans etc, and none of the negative publicity of what happened over the summer is being mentioned. That can only be regarded as a win for Tubridy.
Surely it's obvious at this stage that guy is a WUM? Why do people keep responding to him as if he 'means it maaan' when that's what all such posters want?
Tubs photographed with Piers Morgan and now Chris Evans. He's like a guy whose missus left him and kicked him out of the house, and now he's desperately trying to show her he's moved on by putting some photos on Facebook of himself with some very attractive ladies, except the ladies are really escorts. NK cashing in some favours or bunging some cash to the right people. It stinks of desperation. He's with his tribe though: overpaid and under-talented twats that seemingly hang around forever like the bad smells that they are.
It seems some of you are very reluctant to give Ryan any credit. Surely you have to realise that when an incredibly successful presenter describes Ryan as a legend of broadcasting, he doesn't say it lightly. As Irish people it's something to be proud of, not to begrudge.
The thread is disappointing. Some people genuinely think I'm trying to cause aggravation just because I don't dislike Ryan. That's terribly unfair and I would suggest blinkered. I don't mind anyone not liking Ryan, but there's no need for abuse or rough language towards those who do.
It's called "blowing smoke up each other's asses" or a "circle jerk". Sorry if those terms offend you, I know you are a sensitive soul. They are all presenters, the lowest of the low. They fill dead air. They talk to who they are told to talk to, be it Tubs, a Big Brother contestant, or a boyband member. They are all treated with reverence because it's such a vacuous world they all live in that they have to perpetuate each others importance or else the Ponzi scheme collapses. In their world, anyone, good or bad, who hangs around long enough is a legend despite not doing very much. Jimmy Saville was technically a legendary, incredibly successful presenter on the BBC. Maybe Tubs should take a selfie at his grave?
Dancing with the Stars pro confirms her departure from RTE series.
Emily Barker has stepped back from the RTE show after six series.
I wish him all the best if he finds a sustainable gig in the UK. He had a very comfy gig in Ireland but I'm not sure he's internalised yet how much he undermined himself here.
He might clasp on some opportunity in the UK and thrive with a clean slate where no one knows him.
But in all honesty I can't see him pull anything off, as the whole spiel of an easy transfer to the UK is of an era when people listened and spoke. RT doesn't listen, he'd be just another voice in the static.
This is one of the requirements so I’d say, eh no😛
Jayzuz don’t call them Shirley- they hate that 😀
Is Tubbs going to declare the Electric Vespa he is getting tomorrow to The Revenue Commissioners?
I am sure it well exceeds the 3k Small Gift Exemption.
