The Ryan Tubridy Show **Mod: Read OP**

I wonder who Martin is? He’s being slid sideways of that couch for the last couple of years!

I wonder will Graham Norton get Tubs on as a guest on his show this season 🤔.

TV and Radio people are in a world of their own. Not that I think you should always complain but they really seem to have their blinkers on.

Over the last week for example I have read about the return of the Today show on RTÉ ONE …. and how it … "is now part and parcel of people’s day. It has evolved over the years"

Seriously its Live @ 3 or Open House or The Afternoon Show …. its a part-time daytime show …. it has changed as much as RTÉ has …. not at all

While with the advent of 35 years of Fair City it is … "so important to Irish TV culture and a part of Irish history really"

And that is not to mention the strange interview on the Ray D'Arcy show that I caught the tail end of about Eurovision!

Meanwhile Weatherman Martin King says … "I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if Ryan pops up on ITV or BBC TV because he has the chops and the experience to be able to do the lot" … perhaps he does but weren't you presenting the weather when he was just a Researcher in RTÉ?

@hawley sorry just read your post there, and I suppose to be fair to the above they are promoting themselves and the companies / shows they work for :/

Bobson would accuse all his listeners of tuning in just to hate him.

If you're a narcissist.

complaining about other middle aged men it would seem !

Imagine Bobson hosting liveline

"Go ahead caller ..tells us why you hate the show so much?"

show might end with
"and tomorrow we will discuss hating middle aged white men as that never seems to get any coverage anywhere else. I think they were born middle aged….." fade out

Did Tubridy get inducted into the IMRO hall of fame? Noticed that D'arcy was being inducted according to RTE.

Regards…jmcc

is there a hall of infamy?

IF D'Arcy qualifies to be in the Hall of Fame of anything, that thing should be disbanded.

If you are going to do this radio show you need to have more that one answer to everything.

I mean say they come on Bobson livelahn and go on for 3 weeks about the beatings by da brodders in the local RC school and all you can say back to them is

"Might have been funnier in your head , my compadre"

the whaling and nashing of teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m in the Aer Lingus departures lounge in Dublin at the moment. There’s a rather famous Irish person who left Ireland for pastures anew and has “made it” in the UK media scene sitting across from me. I wonder if I asked him politely would he be so kind as to give Ryan a few tips?

I’ll be in London for a few days. I have a driver waiting to collect me in Heathrow, I’m sure the first thing he’ll ask me is do I know The ToyBookMan given he is so famous there. I’ll likely be in a few taxis over the next few days so will doubtless be plagued with this question.

I’ll be on the tube too so will keep an eye out for posters of the most trusted man in Ireland.

The London Irish Centre gig was probably the only place where he would have been recognised. Even at that stage of his career, Alan Partridge had his "Skirmish" TV programme.

The London Irish Centre is a great place for oul wans to recall their heyday
