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

Haha, busted! That Tubridy point is basically a trademark at this stage, you can’t unsee it once you’ve seen it.

double guns

Dave Chappelle does a routine about Smollett. A lot of the jokes are transferable onto Ryan.

Down with the kids you say?

He never stopped.

I recall being in Ballybunion playing golf a few days after his visit. This picture was in the indo at the time, and the image scarred my retinas. The locals were quite excited that Mr. Tubridy had deemed them worthy of a (no doubt sponsored) visit.

Then again this is the county that elected two Healy-Rae’s and Norma Foley in the last General Election so they must have previous little to be worrying about.

When I googled “Ryan Tubridy skateboard” the first link was to an RTE Facebook post wherein Ryan thanks the company who provided him with the skateboard for free. I don’t know whether he requested it or it was an unsolicited gift, but either way, it’s yet another example of Ryan on the take in one form or another.

I wonder if Mary Lou had appear how that would have gone down, its interesting to see how people take sides. Next week Amy … Amy please she's been off the TV for too long now.

I don't listen either way, I just think it is bizarre how those who are clear fans of Simon Harris, like yourself, were only to proud to go on about him on Tubs' show but I can imagine the disappointment had Mary Lou appeared. No post about the leader of the opposition had it happened.

@hawley I'd say other than Simon H almost all got some form of appear fee.

Ah! Bob, I am saying if Mary Lou was announced as guest for next weeks show, unlike most people on here, who hounded poor 'aul Simon for being a guest and to poor 'aul Tubs for having him on. You'd not even post on the matter nor would you listen. Isn't that right.

A compliment.

Given the numbers it doesn’t appear that people are tuning in even for hate listening purposes.

O’Driscoll was a fantastic rugby player, but a great public speaker he is not. I’ve heard him speak quite a few times at corporate gigs and on the after dinner circuit and he’s awfully, awfully bland. He’s afraid to offer even the slightest negative opinion of anyone or any thing in case he upsets any of his myriad of sponsors. He also seems to tell the same stories over and over again. Nice work if you can get it I suppose but he’s just not that interesting in real life. Perhaps he’ll be better in a 1:1 podcast environment, who knows? His autobiography a number of years back was likewise, terribly bland.

You can rest easy though on your allegation of hate listening etc., as I for one won’t be. I do hope you enjoyed Callan’s Kicks again though last week. I hope one day you can forgive your father for forcing you to listen to it.

To be fair most of these things are (as far as I am aware) done for publicity alone. If there was however a fee to be paid, I’m sure it would be Easons who would be left to deal with that.

Not from me he’s not, and I suspect many others here. I don’t follow him on Instagram as I’m not on Instagram to start with. I haven’t watched a second of the podcast on YouTube nor listened to it on any platform. I do of course read, but apart from perhaps Brian Cox none of the guests so far would have been particularly appealing - and that’s before we talk about the interview style of the host - discussed many times on various fora and it’s just not for me. I also have a pile of books at home and in my parental home that I have on my list to complete before I venture further afield so why would I engage? 🤷‍♂️

It is perfectly possible to observe the travails of The Exiled One in a manner which doesn’t enrich him you know.

about how to misappropriate funds?

Why would one need to listen to Tubs or look at his Instagram when the "highlights" are all here?
