150KTubs - future career in Virgin Radio and other soulful pursuits **Mod: Read OP**

Pee Flynn is among us 🤣

It’s tough returning to reality after bliss. I find that too, especially after a Silversea expedition where everything is handed to you.

I didn’t hear Tubridy this morning, but I accept the veracity of reports here. Maybe Tubbsy received some ad worse career news as he reported to work.

Oooh well spotted. Can we file this under "Another Beechwoodspark anecdote"?

Yet here you post…

I'll do one better for you now, enjoy:

When he has to post his own "Welcome Back" says it all.

It was in relation to the photos posted.

Haggard look to the man, a lot of baggage on his conscience.

A sense of sullen desperation in his eyes.

He wasn’t a happy bunny on air this morning also - clearly heard in his dreary monotone.

Of course of course. How do you find time to explain to the boards posters how amazing your life is, with only 90mins a day online, a busy professional job on €150k+, and reading as much as ryan tubs???

Truly amazing dedication to the craft of wum. Moan about posters hating on tubs, but you can say anything you desire about Callan and many other people. Pot kettle, goose gander. Bluffer spoofer.

I haven’t a clue who you are, but I’d suggest you learn to make your point without having to resort to personal abuse. I’d also suggest you just learn to not take the opinions of complete strangers on the internet so seriously? Like this is a silly and enjoyable thread so there’s no point getting hot under the collar about it. Relax.

Virgin radio in the U.K. has got rights to the Olympics too as part of News Group but unfortunately Tubridy won’t get any access as they don’t have Irish broadcast rights

The dude was on holidays. He loves Galway. He has no interest in sport. So he came to holiday where he enjoys. Think logically here folks.

wrong thread, my friend. Next one up.

Think you are making that up. Never said that. I’m an active participant in this great thread and I haven’t lived at home since I was 18. I’m sure it’s something similar for the majority of others as well.

No. I live in my ma's basement. I have a world class anorak collection as well as a collection of Star Trek micro machines. Sure why would I move out. Dinner of mashed spuds and meat on demand.

If you moved to UK to enhance your media career you would not eschew such UK institutions such as glasto and Wimbledon.

Obviously he's not interested in a UK audience.

Not sure if you are familiar with London, buts its a very big city and there is always 100's of high profile things going on at any time. If you have expectations that radio presenters should be around for all of these events then you have unrealistic expectations and standards.

BTW, "glasto" (or Glastonbury to everyone else) is 3 hours away from London, someone else mentioned the F1, that is 2.5hrs away from London so assume its not just London events he should hang around for and attend so make that probably 1,000 high profile things going on each week that he should be attending.

That might have been funnier in the head of the person who created it than it is in reality.

I’d say he was suggesting that some of your theories and stories might be a bit:

110% stand over that.

Heard it from 3 reliable sources including staff working in the stadium on the night. (1 member of staff joined in the abuse and was stood down and allocated another role).

As for the furious early morning call to NK - you will have to trust me on that BUT I challenge NK to produce the phone records for that morning…there may be a spy in the camp there…say no more.

So a staff member was shouting abuse and their supervisor moved them to a different role, let me guess they got the job to control the lights.

Ah would you stop the junk talk.

I have 209 reliable sources that Elvis was in Croke Park at the weekend (upper cusack), does that mean I am telling the truth?

….

Ever decreasing circles.

So YouTube figures since the last episode was dropped are not really holding up. It would be interesting to see figures for other platforms, if they are similar to these.

Since Irvine Welsh's ep just 1,231 - 2,000 views have been received over the course of the week for all episodes.

It seems to me you need a guest to be that "RTÉ Guide" front cover, and in Andrea Corr they got that cover.

Corr's episode debut on June 24 and now has 3,200 making her the second most watched episode.

Walliam's episode was significant for it being the first and people rush to see it, he now has 4,900 views, but this only 400 more than what he had when Corr debuted.

The more internationally perceived guest have bombed Cox (1200), Horiwitz (860) and Welsh (450).

The rest are a mixed bag, Garrihy debut's well due to her exit from 2FM that week at 1300 but only picking up 400 views since bring her to 1700.

Even considering Corr's performance these aren't great figures.

If we assume that these figures are replicated across the main podcast networks (Apple and Spotify) and they get similar numbers in total across all other platforms, the total view/listens to date would be around the 100k mark so far.

I can't compare and I can only guess the numbers on other platforms, but to me this isn't a great place to be.

I might have a listen to the Irvine Welsh episode.
