    Surprised Dave hasn't played '1979' by Smashing Pumpkins 40 times yet this morning!

    'Mellon Collie' released on this day, TWENTY years ago! :eek:

    I don't know what Moncrieff earns but he puts in an entertaining 3 hour show every day!

    1 hour of "emmmm ahhhhh ehhhhh ummmm ahhhh"
    1 hour of interviews with American people
    1 hour of filler time, trying to be funny.

    Don't agree Ash, the late GR was a past master at working the corporate goodie field.

    Liked to think of himself as a "man of the people" but he had about as much in common with 'the people' with his lifestyle and salary as I have with the Saudi Royal family.

    Bit like the Dufficer does now, all anti on the radio but cheek by jowel in real life.

    I'm surprised a sharp lad like yersell was taken in by a radio persona, which is a bit like an Internet persona- all an act:rolleyes:

    I'll tell you a story and you can tell me what you think.

    Gerry was chatting on our national airwaves to some guy about a port development in Dublin. It was some time in the early Noughties. Gerry was all for it and yer man was a skeptic. The conversation was civil enough until the man said something, rather oblique, that suggested Gerry was only supporting the project because he was in awe of the rich and powerful sponsors. Well, Gerry went ballistic, said he would never form an opinion for such reasons. He went on to say that to so do would make him a 'wanker'. He was very agitated and just about shouting. Very much of the opinion that he, Gerry Ryan, was not such a person. I don't think it was an act and I'll be surprised if any official record of that conversation survived the week it was recorded.

    This little incident would suggest to me that being 'a man of the people' was something that GR took very seriously. How successful he was will always a debatable matter.

    The big question is: Who else is even trying?

    How does that anecdote disprove the point? We all know GR was articulate and passionate. Who's to say he couldn't also get defensive when apparently called out on the undeniable fact that the qualified barrister, a dentist's son, with a well-paid role in the national broadcaster and a very swanky house in Clontarf, was at the heart of the Establishment?

    I'd agree he became isolated from "the people", but the current lot apart fanning never had any connection at all.

    Depression and suicide , novel areas for Ryan and RTE to explore....


  • Registered Users Posts: 71,261 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Quite surreal hearing Ryan talking to Randy from Lamb Of God!

    This is your motherf***ing invitation :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,930 ✭✭✭PeterTheEighth


    Just heard the promo there. Brendan O'Connor is covering the show tomorrow, presumably Tubridy is playing dress up with the children all day. Interview with Cathal Pendred which should be interesting. A lot more interesting than it would be with the pencil asking the questions anyway..

    With a bit of luck, he might get on a plane out of the country! ;)

    Let's hope it's not as cringeworthy as The Nicky Byrne show yesterday with himself and Jenny running around the terminal like Anneka Rice in treasure hunt trying to capture live tears.
    " so when's the last time you saw him" " how long have they been away for " "are you emotional" "what's the first thing you're gonna do" " are you gonna cry"

    Christ it was God damn awful.

    You got it word for word.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,930 ✭✭✭PeterTheEighth


    Outside broadcast + Al Porter + Camembert Quartet + Tubridy for an HOURS worth of a show?

    That Paddy Cullivan guy really REALLY annoys me.

    Anybody else find that Dave Fanning (sitting in for Tubs) is rude to the guests? Always interrupting with 'Nonononohangonaminute'.

    Most frightfully rude.

    I agree, but that last lady he interviewed - albeit a distressing story - would put years on you, she had the most nasal, annoying delivery imaginable.

    Will be interesting to see how the NT change will affects Tubridy. He has some real competition for the first time. It's great being able to switch on Pat Kenny at 9am, I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way.

    This phone-in quiz is more complicated than anything on '3-2-1' with Ted Rogers!
