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

Maybe he has a good heart……

I am still trying to figure out what he had to kill poor Fredo had they not moved passed his treason?

This is where Godfather Part 3 removes that motivation from the series, though as I have not seen Part3 in a few years I could be wrong, Micheal by trying to get out of the business over the next 10 - 15 years has killed is brother for no reason. But I agree if Micheal continues in the family business Fredo is a great liability, also one should the FBI want a witness.

Blyton is easy reading, lacks imagination. I can only imagine were they will take the series!

Ooooh, tell me more. What did he say?

Did not know Tubs was moonlighting on Times Radio….

Clicked into that Youtube video, a rare thing to see Tubridy content with an open comments section..

First comment: "How long will this freak show be allowed to carry on?"

Bit harsh I thought………..Then from reading the replies I realized the comment related to the Trump administration not Tubs!

I gave him another listen this morning, and I'm afraid it's still a 'no' from me.

Still talking too fast, sucking up spit and going over same stuff about himself, such as having an infants palette.

Out again.

I think you’re being really harsh here. I accept that he’s not above criticism on the speed/pace of his delivery but I lay the blame at the producer’s and the station’s door on this. He should either have more time dedicated to monologues and interviews between the music and at breaks, or have a more chat show style show with less or no music altogether. His need to cram so much in at pace is I feel more enthusiasm and a desire to please than anything else.

In hindsight, I regret not buying Volume 1 of “TUBRIDY” last Christmas. It would have made for an enjoyable accompaniment to this year’s edition, and I would have a nice souvenir that charts Ryan’s growth and deveoplment as both a presenter and a human since he departed RTÉ.

I was in the Far East for most of last week and due to the time differences I was unable to listen online. I’m looking forward to a healthy dose of on-air positivity from Ryan and some popular chart topping hits from the 80s until now this morning as I attempt to wake from my jet lag slumber. I’ve missed his show.

I’m a little confused by Ryan’s last segment. After making quite a fuss some time ago to say he does judge a book by a cover and that he won’t read one with a “bad” cover, he just revisited a piece he stated he covered last week about a book with a bad cover that he enjoyed. Somewhat inconsistent? 🤷‍♂️

They’re playing Dire Straits “Money For Nothing” now, I suspect the F word will be removed, but I’ll wait and see. Yes indeed, they played an edit.

Even as a new fan, I must say that was well played.

I was at the dentist today and, once again, they had Tubs playing in the background. I caught about six songs and three segments of Tubs speaking. A few things stood out to me, and I’m wondering if anyone else noticed similar issues.

First, is something off with the mics or the production? The audio didn’t sound clear—it felt kind of filtered and maybe compressed, but only when he was speaking. The music, on the other hand, sounded fine.

In the first segment, Tubs was talking about Oasis and their ticket seller being reprimanded for selling "special" tickets that were actually no different from regular ones. He was speaking really fast and stumbled over his words. It sounded like he was about to criticize both the band and the ticket seller, but halfway through, he seemed to realize that wouldn’t go down well and backtracked. It was awkward.

In the second segment, he spoke too quickly again, and he was hyping up an interview with someone he was talking to later. He mentioned Fionnula Flanagan being in a movie, but then rambled on about how he and his mom had met her at "The Gate." There was no explanation for the UK audience about what "The Gate" is, which could confuse listeners who aren’t familiar with it. It seems like he assumed everyone knew what he meant.

The third segment was even more unclear. There was some drilling noise in the background, and I couldn’t catch much of what he was saying. It sounded like the timing was off, and he was cut off mid-sentence by a song. He came across as ill-prepared, disorganized, and honestly just kind of all over the place—constantly speaking too fast without really making his point.

I wasn’t a fan of the RTÉ radio show before, but the short segment I heard today was genuinely awful.

Not just in the background but loud enough to be able to give a detailed report on the audio quality from the microphones. And to notice the difference between the quality on six songs and three speech segments. And to give a run down on Tubridy's speech impediments and faulty presentation style. Even through the drilling noises.

Thank you for being honest.

"criticising for the sake of criticising at this stage."

Is this directed at me? I haven't commented on the show in months.

This is the first time I have heard it in maybe four months. The last time I heard the show I was also at the dentists. I thought I would share my take on the show.
