RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

Iceland

NIMAN · 18-06-2021 9:23am

Finally going .... someone must have offered him a free trip. At last.

PieOhMy · 18-06-2021 9:24am

Of course he read a book called "the girl who died"

Also any Travel Agents listening please get in contact with Ryan now with offers of freebies!

sligojoek · 18-06-2021 9:27am

Diarmod Ferriter , the only historian in Ireland.

Childhood ice pops. That's Ray Darcy territory

NIMAN · 18-06-2021 9:29am

He eats jelly and ice cream.......what a manchild.

PieOhMy · 18-06-2021 9:30am

Does anyone remeber on Fr Ted the priest who likes to collect ww2 memorabilia and it turns out to be specifically nazi memorabilia?

Tubridy and his interest in Irish history reminds me of that, interested in Irish history which is normal enough but it qcould be some strange aspect of it such as only liking it from the perspective of the landlords who evicted the natives and burned their houses down, or maybe the fascinating logistics of running a workhouse in Famine times or what it would be like to attend a banquette hosted by someone who runs a soup kitchen. Something abnormal.

PieOhMy · 18-06-2021 9:33am

Ryan thinks a community gaurd isn't a real gaurd and offends his guest within 10 seconds of the interview.

PieOhMy · 18-06-2021 9:35am

Inner city scumbags = acting the maggot. Only the 2 people killed and a 3rds life ruined by those messers in the last few months.

Elmo · 21-06-2021 11:02am

Sorry non-tubs listener but often come across news reports about him and is shows.

RTE's Ryan Tubridy on people sharing Google Street View images of relatives and friends who have since died
The Late Late show host can see the sadness and comfort that the Google images bring

Really

what's with the morbid entertainment that he goes on with?

NIMAN · 21-06-2021 12:46pm

He's a ghoul, plain and simple.

So much of his 'entertainment' slots in his radio and tv shows are about death, disease, illness, sadness.

Monarchs and their cars ?

22-06-2021 9:07am

Pioneers.

2021 struggle with parking meter

No coins or card

What will poor fella do?

PieOhMy · 22-06-2021 9:10am

What the hell is he talking about. Is this just random stories he started before he came on air and continuing now on air?
Ryan, the listeners don't know what you are talking about, most of us were at work after 10am yesterday not going to museums and inviting ourselves around to nursing homes for coffee with you so you need to give some background to what you are rambling on about.

Finally realises that a medical emergency happened in the euros over a week ago. Only one of the biggest stories in the world sure.

PieOhMy · 22-06-2021 9:15am

8 year old girl strangled and killed a 2 year old boy in the book that caught Ryan's eye. He can pretend he likes literature and issues relating to poverty all he wants but I think most people listening are in absolutly no doubt that he read that purely because he RELISHES AND LOVES gruesome murders and human misery. Its disturbing.

Pelvis Parsley · 22-06-2021 9:42am

Pontificating and patronising in equal measure.

He loves grizzly stuff from birds of prey staking other creatures apart to humans doing likewise.

Difficult enough for relatives to get to see their loved ones in nursing homes these days... unless Ryan's Mum is in one.

22-06-2021 9:53am

The thing about Ryan trying on this Joe Duffy type role, it doesn't seem to gain traction with the authorities the way Liveline sometimes does. It should honestly stick with being a strictly light show, to clear our heads between break of morning news and serious topics ahead (aside from Claire Byrne's fluff stuff).

Pelvis Parsley · 22-06-2021 9:54am

Dialling up the funometer.

PieOhMy · 22-06-2021 10:16am

The insincerity and fakeness about an interest in American politics and Biden was finally acknowledged.

He hasn't followed it since the election which was half a year ago. Pure lies that he's interested in it. He just liked the tabloid interesting stuff about Trump that he could read in 2 or 3 lines and understand. Nothing wrong with that at all but making out that you have some pseudo intellectual interests when in reality you don't is just insincere and fake and trying to be something you're not. Why bother like, it's like wearing glasses with no lenses just to make yourself look intelligent.

Also thinking that the black dog that Churchill said followed him around was actually literally a dog in the room was just absured. I thought initially he must have been trolling with that type of "annoying misunderstanding" to spark a conversation but given how much effort he puts in to trying to portray himself as something he isn't I think he actually genuinely hasn't a clue. How can someone who claims to read so much and also clearly is obsessed and relishes depression not get it.

He pays little earnest attention to anything, as demonstrated through an interview he conducted regarding the subject of my late relative, and completely forgetting the crux of it later. Pays no attention.

Has Ryan's mum gone into a nursing home? I am not sure why but I had assumed she was still working in Trintys School of computers.

I think the basic jist of it all is that our Ryan is not as well read as he pretends he is. And I do think it shows when he tries to do a 'proper' interview with someone who isn't a lightweight, fluff piece. He excels at chatting to family members with sad stories, as it's easy to come across all concerned. But interview someone who is involved in politics or something more heavy, and he's lost.

I have said a few times that it is easy in this Google world to pretend to read a lot, when you actually don't. You can read a synopsis of a book and then waffle about it a bit to make it sound like you've read it. I am guessing this is tubs method of 'reading' for a lot of books. Not disputing he does read some books, sure most of us do, but we don't pretend we spend all our free time reading.

I don't think so but the whole thing was basically the same as the answer you would get from a 5 year old if you asked them what they did yesterday. You'd get a rough idea but also couldn't be quiet sure. I think he was trying to say he wanted to go to some museum but it was closed so he got invited to go another time, I assume he contacts the places he visits in advance to get special treatment, and instead he went to some sort of old folks village to meet someone he interviewed on the show before and might interview again in the future he said.

Would be grand if it was a child rambling on like that but this guy has been broadcasting for decades now, the only job he's ever had, the market has determined he is worth five hundred thousand euro a year for a 1 hour radio show on weekday mornings and a weekly descent into depravity TV show a few evenings per year and not only is it boring, repetitive drivel it's now become so badly prepared that it actualy doesn't even make sense.

Someone recently asked him how many books he reads on average each week.

He couldnt give a straight answer at all and said something like "I read as much as I feel like reading... there is no answer to that question".

An absolute chancer

Have to agree there Sif , often wondered about that myself.

Between Films, box sets, books, research, politics………

No way anyone would have the time for the stuff he outlines and hold down a job paying a wedge north of half a mill.

One or the other duddnt jell……… and I think I know which…….:cool:

Would that be because they are amazeballs, or could it be down to something else...y'know, maybe something that wasn't around 18 months ago. Yep, tis a hard one to figure out alright. I'm stumped anyway.

NIMAN · 24-06-2021 1:20am

You mean are more people listening to radio......well I guess there probably is a reason for it.
Just can't think now what it is.

But if your figures went down, you'd need to be taking a good luck at yourself.

sxt · 24-06-2021 7:28am

Ryan has completely overcooked the word "kindness" and should hibernate that word from his vocabulary . Yesterday he referred to "public service" as "public kindness"

There is a medical term for this. Semantic satiation is a psychological phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener,[1] who then perceives the speech as repeated meaningless sounds. Extended inspection or analysis (staring at the word or phrase for a lengthy period of time) in place of repetition also produces the same effect.

archfi · 24-06-2021 9:14am

Is there any person allowed on RTE to counterpoint the 'UEFA bigot' ridiculous one-party narrative
I have zero time for UEFA but here is Tubridy (& Morning Ireland previously) just allowing one erroneous side of the question unlimited, uninterrogated airtime.
They are lionising so called football pundits who also were allowed to make speeches yesterday on a sports program on something that has nothing to do with football but was a political effort aimed at a football team - the Hungarian govt was not playing and every effort must be made to keep politics OUT of sporting fixtures/events.

This is manufactured consent.
Oh btw Tubridy, the German FA didn't hand out 11000 rainbow flags outside the stdium - German LGBT activists did.
At least get that right

public kindess - pukeworthy.

And there are plenty of other words that have lost all meaning because of his repetition too. The most articulate and well-read man in RTE, what!?!

Whenever I hear his babbling monologues I regularly find myself asking "what in the name of jaysus is he talking about?!" as he hops around manically from one intriguing topic to the next, not providing context. Then there's the fake laughing at jokes his production team without really explaining what he's laughing at.

It can be hard to follow him. It's just background noise really.

Again the bookish nerd thing bugs the sh1te out of me. Many of his colleagues are proper academics and hold PhDs in history, politics and chemical engineering.

Were as Ryan was born into a well connected Irish family. Received private schooling in one of Ireland's most exclusive boarding schools. And then attended Ireland's second university.

But yet the best he can do, is this cosplay.

An inarticulate mess, with no understanding of the real world. Who spends his day prodding people for ghoulish details from their private life and reading the latest potboiler and commenting on it as if it is some sort of found masterpiece from Proust or Umberto Eco.

'I like this book. It is all about kindness. I like kindness in a book. It also takes place in Iceland. I would like to go to Iceland. So that is two thumbs up in my book (laughs at his own pun... Then explains it to the plebs)"

When he talks about supporting irish business I think what he actually means are local coffee shops in Dublin that have a corner for reading, artisan bakeries in a few tourist towns on the wild Atlantic way, bespoke jewlery makers and the types of shops who have stalls at Bloom etc.

These are the type of local Irish shops he encounters in his bubble so as far as he is concerned they are the extent of local irish businesses. He couldn't give a damn about the local mart in Kilfenora or industry shutting down in Clara. I suppose he is genuine in wanting to support local irish busines in so far as he knows them, it's just that what he thinks the world is and what it actuslly is are two very different things. He doesn't like burgers and may not see Supermac’s as being
Cosmopolitan so it's not deserving of support the same way pop up scented candles shops in dalky run by his friends daughters would be.

The candle shop isn't a real situation, just using an example I made up to illustrate my point.

Have any of you lot set up a gofundme page so Ryan can get this Muppet Show prop he asked the audience to buy for him this morning?

Bidding starts at 50k so we should probably get it sorted fairly fast.

Indeed the sort of stores tourists love and locals hate or can't afford to shop in. A wealthy persons folly.

It must be an odd and lonely life for the T man. All affectations with no real substance and nothing genuinely interesting or insightful to day.
