Does every guest on this show have to have a relation with cancer?

Whilst I have in the past supported Tubridy ,I'm rapidly tiring of his offering.

Box- sets, books, films, take up waaaaaaaay too much time .

Where does the lad get the time to watch and read all this stuff ?

It's incredible.

Also some of his mannerism are getting to me 'Jannooree' being one and 'too-day'.

When it gets to that stage it's time to switch off for a while anyway, I find.

Tubridy is a waste of space and time, does anyone seriously listen to his old guff. I reach straight for the off switch after the 9 am news.

Plenty do, because someone doesn't appeal to you, doesn't mean others won't take a different view.

Look at Ronan Collins, someone must like repetition and banality!

But hey, thats people for ya.

sligojoek · 21-12-2016 12:43pm

I'm rarely able to listen to the radio before 10.30. I've been at home for the last week and heard a few segments of Tubridy. It seems most guests, regardless of what they're on to plug, end up talking about a parent, sibling or child who has/had cancer.

Those americanisms are tedious too. Looking in the meeeeeer. Free speeeerit, etc.

Can somebody at Dublin Airport please lock Al Porter away in luggage?

Shove the Camenbert Quartet in there with him too.

Crowd of hacks.

Dave Fanning standing in for Tubridy today and doing an interview with someone from the BBC I think about obituaries.

Probably the most unprofessional interview I have heard in a long time.

You think Mary Wilson interrupts a guest rudely? Have a listen back to Dave and, if you can make out his 100 mph delivery (how professional is that!) try and count the number of times he interrupts/talks across his guest. What a waste of time that fellow is and the main reason I don't listen to him with any frequency. How much does our Dave earn a year then I wonder to justify that drivel.

HeidiHeidi · 28-12-2016 9:41pm

Agree with above post.

I turned it on this morning when I woke up, and DF was absolutely galloping through an interview with someone (was half asleep so can't actually remember who it was) - was positively rude in interrupting him/her to end the interview really abruptly. I thought maybe he was late for the news or something, but no, just went for an ad break and onto another mile-a-minute interview.

He should listen back to himself some time.

Yes I was half asleep myself also I couldn't get over how basically disrespectful he came across. He seemed to boast at one point about not having ever seen a particular tv program that his very patient guest referred to which, if he was putting his guest first, he would not have mentioned.

Harry Angstrom · 28-12-2016 11:48pm

Somebody at RTE should take Dave Fanning aside and tell him to grow up. He's a 60-something broadcaster who still thinks he's too cool for school, and seems to think it's rebellious and radical to play The Strokes or The White Stripes on Radio One. He gives off an air that he doesn't give a toss about anything, and he's come into the studio with about a minute to spare. And his tiresome anecdotes about rubbing shoulders with the great and good of rock music have been told so many times, I could almost recite them verbatim by now.

Brendan Bendar · 28-12-2016 11:59pm

Well I did my best to warn listeners !!

Brendan O'Connor does a great job every time he stands in for Tubs but it's unlikely that he was interested in working during the holiday period (he has a young family etc....).

PeterTheNinth · 20-04-2017 9:48am

You wouldn't believe how far I had to dig to find this thread!

I say, keep Marty on the show. It's got a much more community radio feel to it, and a presenter who actually has a genuine interest in his guests.... And Marty himself is a likeable character.

Welsh Megaman · 21-04-2017 9:30am

This interview reminds me of Alan Partridge's radio item 'This Morning's Farmer'.

Covers a few inconsequential Kennedy stories, and follows with a plug for his own book. The joys of being an RTE employee. A book that would never have been written if he hadn't been given the profile he has by RTE.

Does that chip on your shoulder never start to wear you down?

He had the profile he has, due to a very successful broadcasting career (whether you like his broadcasting style is neither here nor there).

He's now written a book (about what? Not tuned in as i as it happens don't like his show).

Why wouldn't he mention it?

PeterTheNinth · 28-04-2017 9:42am

Ah come on Heidi. Patrick And The President..??? Are you telling me that this is a significant, important piece of writing... or Tubridy and his publisher simply cashing in on his celebrity and access to push the thing through his RTE TV and radio shows. Same as Joe Duffy, he should be told to keep his private works private.

But why wouldn't he plug it?

Of course he'd cash in on his profile/ presence on radio - he'd be a fool not to! His is a personality show (his), the whole thing is based on him and his opinions and views. The book is one snall part of that. (Who's Patrick btw? Which president?)

JD is a different kettle of fish which I've given up on these days for the sake of my blood pressure. That's meant to be a caller driven show in which JD is merely a facilitator - hah!!!!

The two simply cannot be compared.

If he is plugging a book so as to enrich himself even further, he should be paying for the privilege. It's advertising. The thought never crossed his or the management's minds.
If he regards it as a 'perk' then perks are taxable for BIK.

they are both over paid license fee bleeders that would struggle to find similar work/pay in the private sector.

HeidiHeidi · 28-04-2017 10:15am

Jaysus the bitterness in this and other radio threads world bring you out in a rash.

I used to look forward to informed/opinionated discussion about programmes in these threads but all they contain these days is bile (I'm excluding De Lahvline thread from that generalisation).

I'll leave ye to it.

What I always say in these situations is yes they would struggle to get the same pay in the private sector and yes, they are overpaid....but... they have the gig,and if there are people out there who think they can knock them off their perch- go for it!!!

We might say that ...who.... Diego Costa is overpaid for example, but his job is open to almost any footballer in the world, he is holding on to it, take it off him if you are better!!!

Bit of a messy analogy I know, but these people in RTE like Tubridy and Duffy do have some talent.

The Liveline thread is 90% bile and bitterness.

Pull the tab to reveal a grassy knoll and a book depository.

That would be cool.

I've heard Tubridy say that he'd got a "three book deal" and was looking around for something else to write about. These were not lifelong projects that he had in mind, just a commitment that he made to the publisher to cash in on his celebrity. And next Christmas you will have Joe Duffy with his show on self published books telling us "how hard it is to get published".

My drunken haze prevented me from italicizing the word banter. It was bad, it's was like their da came in to the pub and interrupted the conversation.

Glad you cleared that up Peter, I just knew poor John didn't do banter.

John cannot stray from a script or actual reportage, in fairness he is adequate there but going free!!!!! Nah.

Sorry if I moved a bit away from the topic, but that had to be cleared up.

PeterTheNinth · 19-06-2017 9:12am

Tubridy gossping like an old fishwife about the mental problems of other presenters and singers. Was this not the lad who gave us chapter and verse a while back about people writing stuff about his personal life?

Come back Pat Kenny, and quickly.

PeterTheNinth · 28-06-2017 9:17am

Tubridy giving about yards about Trump being a "womanizer" because he calls over a reporter. Funny cos he never judged ACTUAL womanizers Bill Clinton and John Fitzgerald Kennedy by the same standard. He's such a f**king hypocrite.

The RTE view is that Kennedy and Clinton were loveable 'Jack the lads', whilst Trump is akin to Jack the ripper. No bias there

I wonder if Tubs has any plans to follow up with his Peter and the President book? I'm thinking 'Marilyn and the President', and 'Monica and the President'.
Fully illustrated, of course......

Tubs does this kind of thing all the time on the LLS. He gets (usually) good looking women to come down and make a fool of themselves and then he laughs like its great craic. The only difference is Trump would call her beautiful/hot and Tubs would call her a lovely girl

Yeah I thought that at the time as well. They seem pretty well suited. Until he brings his JFK teddy bear in to the bedroom.

Expunge · 30-06-2017 1:45pm

I don't hear him very often but I tuned in yesterday (Thursday) to listen to the first 20 minutes or so.

I was astonished at the amount of faffing about, rawmaishing and rambling about any old thing. Tony Bennett and how well he wears a suit being one thing that sticks in my mind.

There was a lot of talk about stuff he likes - crooners, Grace Kelly and some old movie she was in etc. etc.

Then this was followed by him reading a letter to his sixteen year old self, which he did a few years back for some charidee or other.

He said something to the effect that the 'team' reckoned that it was a good idea to do it on the show that morning!

Then music. And that accounted for about half an hour of the slot.

I was a bit shocked that this was the standard of fare. I thought we had moved on a bit from 'things I like' by Ryan Tubridy.

Am I to assume that this is a three producer, couple of Broadcast Assisitants and a Sound Op. staffed strand?

And RTE is busy selling land to recoup money?

I always found it incredible that RTE have told us that Tubridy is one of the best presenters in the country, and that this justifies paying him an absolute fortune, yet they only give him ONE hour a day on air. And it's an hour of gossip about Katy Perry and Brad Pitt like a fishwife - this from Tubridy who threw all of his toys out of the pram when somebody took a picture of himself and his missus in a public park and called it an invasion of privacy.

If a private radio station was paying that amount of money for a "star", they would have them on air for at least three hours.

Conservative · 30-06-2017 2:22pm

The guy sets out to be a television and radio personality and then whinges about being in the public eye. That's hysterical.

I can't see there much of a bidding war for his radio services.
