RTE Radio 1: The Ryan Tubridy Show

bottlebrush · 03-06-2021 1:41pm

Really like Oliver Callan in this slot. I had stopped listening to Ryan Tubridy for a while now.

RINO87 · 03-06-2021 2:21pm

Same, I only tune into this slot when I know he is on. The "monologue" at the start can be good for a laugh, miles ahead of listening to that other eejit sh1ite on about himself

Furze99 · 03-06-2021 3:04pm

Agreed, Tubridy should be put out to grass - he is at least 67 isn't he?

NIMAN · 13-06-2021 5:48am

He'll be full of beans and fully rejuvenated after his 2 week holiday to 'recharge' from his exhausting work schedule.

Government buildings · 13-06-2021 6:12am

Oh no, our holidays are over, Tubridy's back.

Callan was a breath of fresh air.

Please, RTE, put him into the retirement home. How much would it cost, one million, two million? Whatever, it would be worth it.

PieOhMy · 14-06-2021 8:48am

Is there anything as animated as someone who has never really left Dublin that just spent a few days 'down the country'?

Prepare for plenty compliments about the people of Ireland, what a great little country we have, the weather haha, how we should be proud of ourselves, its a great place to staycation, RECHARGED AND CANT WAIT FOR THE TOY SHOW AT CHRISTMAS, the big boss man from Dublin who came down and saved the economy of rural Ireland by accepting free coffees and ice creams, how we should all shop locally and plenty irish (read freinds of RTE) people on the late late next year.

That 'interview' with the paper was rediculous esp the comment re the market deciding the wages.

I feel that Tubrudy's legacy has already been sealed. Its not going to be the Toyman persona much as RTE and himself will tell us it is. Its going to be that at in the middle of one of the darkest and most difficult times in the nations history when covid and uncertainty were approaching a peak he brought on to the Late Late Show a popular former superstar boxers who many many people hold fond and positive memories that tragically had recently lost a child and reduced the man to an emotional wreck live on air. I'll never forget what an absolute disgrace that was. So inappropriate.

Come back Oliver Callen.

Please

I heard that. Every room in the museum had a bespoke theme related to workhouse living. Soft furnishings made from empty spud sacks. The whole place is a real jewel in the Crown.

I cannot abide Carl Herny being rolled out for every conversation about exercise and fitness. We need many and diverse voices (in the widest sense) on the airwaves about health and fitness.

NIMAN · 14-06-2021 2:56pm

Didn't hear the show today.

But very few comments on it.

Was it a non-event?

Tune in to Kathryn Thomas so. Feckin' Joe Wicks is on it.

Literally diminishing one of the most devastating famines in modern history, per capita, to a gentrified holiday experience, not even ironically.

I don't mind dark humour, but he was clearly oblivious to how dismissive, borderline disrespectful, it sounded.

Pelvis Parsley · 14-06-2021 8:22pm

The man is not well.

Leaving aside the ignorance about the famine, describing anything as "boutique" is a tell-tale sign of a pretentious tit.

Remember Eoghan Murphy described co-living as trendy boutique hotels

Bellbottoms · 15-06-2021 1:33am

Hasn't Ryan got form when it comes to the Irish famine. Hasn't he a slightly unconventional take on the famine.

walshb · 15-06-2021 9:10am

Response was gorgeous!

Pr1ck!

PieOhMy · 15-06-2021 9:14am

Extra extra extra extra laughing and giggling today to indicate being refreshed and reenergised.

Sounds demented but other than that and no difference whatsoever between the content when he was 'tired' before the 2 weeks off and this utter rubbish.

Bring back Callan.

I heard a few minutes. That fake laughing mid sentence is diabolical

Uncharted · 15-06-2021 9:30am

Genuinely, give the gig to Callan.

He was in the seat for a fortnight, and I know nothing of his personal life or his afternoon/ evening activities.

He actually spoke about other things,not himself.

Tubbs, take note !!!!!!

Callan ftw.

The fact that this thread was a ghost town during his tenure is surely an indication that he's doing something right.

sligojoek · 15-06-2021 9:32am

The misery is back. Didn't take long.

Pelvis Parsley · 15-06-2021 9:34am

He'll never change, why would he bother?

True.

He is handsomely rewarded for his shtick.

He lives in an echo-chamber of self praise.

Twitter and Facebook are evil, cruel and unkind.
Tubbs speak for peoples opinions of him are wrong.

Instagram is kind and pure.
Tubbs speak for zero comments on his inadequacies as a radio host.

Pelvis Parsley · 15-06-2021 9:56am

Mr. Fun closes out with another little bit of misery.

ShamNNspace · 15-06-2021 10:40am

Brendan Bendar · 15-06-2021 11:05am

Very interesting……… if genuine would be something which needs a little further investigation.

Tubridy said that he drove back to Dublin after climbing carrauntoohil so must have stayed there the night before. They must have only offered the one free night, how miserly are they?!?!?!

Do they not realise that their guest was a man who the market has decided is worth paying five hundred thousand euro each each year for 1 hour of radio and a weekly television show? A man who brought us moments such as laughing at Shane Lynch even tho Shane requested not to be made the butt of a joke and pointed out that Shane was actually in the wrong for not finding it funny- so brave, and in the depths of the covid fear Barry McGuigan struggling to come to terms with a tragic loss. A man who some weeks of the year finds the sickest people with the saddest stories in the country just so we can feel better about ourselves in comparison, a man who rehersed for months to sing up to three songs in one night, a man so revered that delivery men reach into their lorries and hand him eggs and bread out of sheer gratitude. A man who OFFERED to get one of the first vaccines available in the state live on air so that we could all watch and feel better. That hotel should hang their heads in shame for not keeping a room open for him ad finium.

Pelvis Parsley · 16-06-2021 9:04am

Fake laugh by the middle of the third sentence.

Autopilot engaged.
