    Haven't listened that much to his show over the last month but it looks like the producers have massively increased the amount of music and reduced his talking. I tuned in before ten to twelve and listened for about twenty five minutes. In that period of time, he spoke for about thirty seconds. There was three minutes for the news, so he had very minimal input for twenty odd minutes of radio. He has become more of a DJ than a radio presenter.

    Communication was the greatest fatality

    Funny I was thinking he was getting more interviews to do. I only happened to listen yesterday so I could be mistaken.

    3 year anniversary of Tubridy joking about Ukraine getting invaded.

    "Fascinating"

    So 3 years ago today...Tubridy lamented at the fact that the Ukrainians "looked like us"...and thats the reason he was sad...if you are brown it doesnt matter as much to Tubridy seemingly....

    He also had a go at Zelensky for not shaving and for wearing a T-Shirt....Tubridy questioned his abilities and was sneering at the "comedian"....

    What an absolute sickener you are Tubridy-zero integrity...never forget....

    Mod - What happened 3 years ago on a different station is irrelevant to Tubridy’s current show so please move on from this @StevenToast



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,937 ✭✭✭GSF


    well not having to pretend to know anything about current affairs is why he is better suited to Q102 and its airhead celebrity “news” output



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,260 ✭✭✭CollyFlower


    Ryan is on a "well-earned break" this week. I guess pretending to look busy really took it out of him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,096 ✭✭✭Red Fred


    It seems the new podcast studio isn't Ryan's after all.

    Great to see newstalk do their bit

    Would love to hear RT on NT, would be a great run in from him to PK just like the old days. You never know Ronan Collins might consider moving from gold to NT, and Joe Duffy might be available.

    I really this is a plan, and better communication all round.

    Whatever about the obvious bullsh1t being spoken here about what happened, this doesn't even make grammatical sense. Such an empty vessel, putting words together to sound smart that are barely tangentially related (see what I did there???)

    I'd argue that Ryan is ironically, and not unintentionally, mis-using grammar to better show is devastation and at the same time show that he is in a strong position, better than he ever has been in the last 20 years. "Good on him" I say. I personally look forward to Ryan having that big conversation when that time comes, and this could be his big return to Irish national radio, with his internationally successful podcast now in its third season, he can probably sign off from Virgin Media and work in a national Irish broadcaster while retaining the international fan base he has built in the last year.

    "Good on, him" and may it continue.

    So He doesn't want to get into whether the leadership in rte was an issue when he was being ousted but speaks of quality leadership in Virgin radio. Way to get the petty dig in there Tubs.

    Better communication might, on his part, not being him shooting off his mouth and basically ending any chance of lounging around in rte while others did his work.for him.

    Let him stick with his Virgin media show and stop attempting to weasel his way back.

    That website would be better using Grammarly before putting articles up online.

    he never imagined at the age of 50 he would love Dublin for a new job abroad



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,572 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    In other words he's still kicking himself that he didn't keep his mouth shut at the end of summer 2023. Bakhurst had a doss of a contract in his drawer and the fountain pen filled up with ink, ready for our hero to sign it. Was it €200k or €250k a year? I can't remember.

    Anyway, instead of grabbing the pen, signing it and saying 'Sorry for any bother I caused the past few months'; he went and shot off some dire interview, effectively got told to bugger off and is now down a couple of hundred grand per annum, as well as several weeks annual leave to 'recharge [sic]'.

    But he tries to portion some, if not most of the blame on others, instead of doing a very basic 'mea culpa' and putting it behind him.

    I'm not usually one for schadenfreude, but to see that it still hurts him deeply that he screwed up so much brings a wry smile to my face.

    And, IIRC the 2nd anniversary of his 'resignation' (aka rat jumping the ship) from the LLS is next weekend. First move in the house of cards falling down.

    Mod - one post deleted as it went too far as a personal attack on Tubridy, rather than discussing the linked article.



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 8,158 Mod ✭✭✭✭HildaOgdenx


    Exactly.
    Senior hurling after all…

    When he says 'communication was the greatest fatality' I presume the word he was seeking was casualty. A fatality is a completely different thing.

    I walked into my kitchen earlier, I listen regularly to Q102, apart from his programme. He was saying something about DeValera and WT Cosgrave. To a largely UK based audience. 🤷‍♀️

    Switched off.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭hawley


    I think that his Sunday morning show is an Ireland only broadcast.

    Communication was the greatest fatality

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,617 ✭✭✭Tork


    Even so, would anybody bat an eyelid if he started going on about them on his weekday show?

    I don't think they would.

    I heard brief, very very brief clips of the programme after he started on the new job, and he seemed to make far more reference to Irish places and so forth than one would expect, I imagine, if listening in the UK.

    I'm sure there's a skill to holding two different audiences, but I don't think that's the way to do it, somehow.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭hawley


    His podcast is proving to be very successful. He had viewers from 103 countries watching his live interview yesterday.

    Q102 suits Tubridy's talents - a local radio DJ.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,371 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    Is there anywhere on the site we CAN go to discuss Tubridy without being handcuffed ?

    Seems odd that you’d have to find a relevant thread, and a very specific one at that, to discuss different matters relating to Tubridy.

    As someone who works on radio, tv, podcast and is a ‘celebrity’ it makes the conversation very disjointed if you have to find a very specific thread to discuss each area he’s worked in.

    Also keeping track on whether he has paid back the Irish tax payers the money he said he owed them, €150,000 iirc, is difficult it that also needs a specific thread.

    Any ideas about where to put ALL the layered conversations that relate to Tubridy without having to navigate a very broken site ?



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 20,656 Mod ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    You can discuss Tubridy if you can refrain from personal attacks, there is a dedicated RTÉ thread for general discussion of all financial matters that arose. Again, it's not a thread to personally attack Tubridy.

    Please see the charter for clarification. Comments like "handcuffed" are a dig at moderation so that isn't allowed either.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,371 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    Refrain from personal attacks ? I haven’t attacked him.

    We just want to know when we will get our money back. That’s all. He shouldn’t take it as a personal attack.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 20,656 Mod ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    I didn't say you had personally attacked him, what I said was "You can discuss Tubridy if you can refrain from personal attacks". Plenty of people just want to have a pop at Tubridy, either here or in the RTÉ thread.

    This has all been explained in the charter, Feedback thread and on the thread so please do not reply to this post.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 190 ✭✭Terence Rattigan


    I think Tubs is doing well on his Q102 show. I believe he’d have more listeners if he gave back the 150k to his beloved Irish audience



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,367 ✭✭✭✭hotmail.com


    It is strange as many threads are full of and are about insulting well known people. It's a bit of a laugh on here.

    mods have just tumbleweeded this thread due to the usual heavy handed approach. Reducing traffic and continuing the demise of the site. But hey ho on they go….
