Ryan Tubridy - From Virgin to Youtube **Mod: Read OP**

That Ryan Doesn't exist.

I remember once, at the start of a new LLS season, he said it was going to be better, faster, more entertaining, yet it was exactly the same stuff as the previous years. Boring, boring, misery.

He is a one trick pony, that has been found out. His trick of feigning interest in people's misery, and pretending he was kind and caring fooled quite a lot of the country, mostly from a certain demographic, but a lot of us seen through it.

For me, he always appeared fake. The way he came across with the Charlie Byrne illness was the final straw for me, when he made it more about himself than Charlie. And then to disrespect the memory of Sinead O'connor to try to save his own skin when the country turned on him, was truly despicable.

TBH, I don't think he has any interest in anything beyond self aggrandizement and the size of his contract. I see practically every utterance out of his gob as a deflection........ from 'King of the Nerds', to the old fogey thing to wistful trips to Connemara, to the Toyman persona. All just angles to self promote, stay relevant and try to increase his earning power.

We can see that trend since the UK move. The constant hammering of books, books, books, the endless and almost farcical self promotion as a tweedy nerd complete with photos holding books on the street. It's all so transparent. Most people have little time to indulge an affectation. Their lives are consumed with work worries, mortgages, family, maybe a sports team. They couldn't give a toss about anything that goes on outside their front door. Nothing wrong with that if that's what floats your boat. Tubs is no different. Just an ordinary man. The problem is this obvious conceit that he is some mild intellectual who was the obvious choice to present flagship TV and radio shows.

I am trying to listen to this interview on TIMES RADIO with tubs The Evening Edition with Kait Borsay.

Kait must be bored by what he had to say !

1hr 25min in, same stuff again from him.

I love.jeremy Clarkson's column in the sunday times. Some of it is laugh out loud funny. I couldn't see myself buying the MOS to read tubs' witterings.

There's a tiny, and I mean tiny, bit of me that feels sorry for him. He has no talent or ability and really did get the rte work purely on connections/being alive imo.

Only rte would put up with him, pay him a small fortune and attempt to convince listeners and licence paying public that he was worth it.

The comments below this are scathing.

That felt interminable and I only listened for 10 minutes.

Listen to the interview and specifically listen to the tone of the interviewer's voice on her responses and questions. Tubridy misses it all. It was a bit of a carcrash inteview for Tubridy.

To say he has NO talent is fairly disingenuous. He was never a world beater but if he was a bad as we are making out there's no chance he would have held his chatshow positions.

I’m glad it hasn’t stopped you fighting the good fight. A grateful nation of taxpayers thanks you

What interview was this?

Did Tubs say that?

Crumbs.

I'm sure JK Rowlings alleged "Transphobia" wouldn't sit right with Tubs' supposed "Kndness" persona. He probably dropped her name inadvertently, had a quick think about it. and started back-pedalling furiously
