Ryan Tubridy radio show thread

Tubriy comes across like the bosses son, who is incompetent and insufferable, but is tolerated by everybody because of who his daddy is. There is really no reason for him to be on our airwaves. He has no charm, limited intelligence, and he is excruciating to listen to. Nobody listens to him anyways, they listen to the time slot. Put a donkey braying there for one hour every morning at 9, and he'd probably get the same listenership. It's an absolute joke that this dude gets paid so much, but they are all overpaid jackasses in RTE. One good thing about corona is hopefully people stop paying their licence fees and there is nothing RTE can do about it.

I half-caught the first 20mins, Jesus he's like a spolit teenager. Was ready to reach for a scalpel (there was one within arm's reach so to speak - it was silver btw) and slit my own wrists after he said he was tired - good job I wasn't within 50feet of him at that particular time.

Thanks for the handy tip, Ryan.

Well, it’s certainly clear from all that’s been said and now this note that people who are lucky enough to have a second home all need to stay at their first home.

Of course, a whole bunch of them will feel it doesn’t apply to them. No doubt they’ll be heading off today - if they aren't already waking up in their holiday home this very morning in an attempt to avoid the checks. But they’re going to be called out for it.

Dr Catherine Calderwood (Scotland), Dr David Clark (NZ) sure didn’t practice what they preach.

I wonder has Noel Kelly a stake in it.

Praise for an RTE show.

ButtersSuki · 08-04-2020 9:30am

Tubridy you twat calling out google and facebook etc. and asking what are they doing for us given their favourable tax situation etc.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING GIVEN YOUR OWN FAVOURABLE TAX SITUATION?

I’m reposting this for you from Mr. Duffy's Thread as you appear to have missed it. To action the following Mr. Tubridy would have exponentially more benefit at the front line than all of your TYFYSs and tales of chocolate and kindess put together, so to speak.

ButtersSuki's Suggestions for Acts of Kindness for RTE Contractors:

Dear RTE Contractors,

How about those of you who take home more than EUR250,000 a year and who preach to us all constantly about being kind and generous and helping others donate your entire tax-efficiently paid monthly fees to the HSE/Government/Hospitals for the duration of the crisis? Some of you "earn" more in a month than a front-line Nurse will earn in a year. Some of you work less in a month than they do in a single shift in the current climate.

Think of the extra staff that could be paid for by this.
Think how many ventilators could be purchased.
Think of the amount of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that could be bought.
Think of the amount of facemasks for front-line workers.
Think of the amount of hand sanitiser.
Think of the food that could be bought for those on the front line.
Think of the lives you could help save.

Most of you availing of this loophole have been "earning" megabucks for years - a few months will not hurt you financially. So instead of asking us what we can do, why not ask yourselves?

I await your replies.

YOU ARE A DELUDED, SPOILT, AND ENTITLED MAN CHILD WHO HASN'T THE FOGGIEST NOTION OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE REAL WORLD.

Note: when I wrote the above I had just come from an off-site meeting discussing some real life or death issues. To say my patience was wearing a bit thin at the time would be an understatement. It's my own fault, I shouldn't listen to this idiot at the moment.

I can only imagine it's her frustration that led to drastic action like that. I wonder was Tubridy considering heading down? The doctor really encapsulated the patronising prism through which the majority of the holiday home brigade view these rural towns, not least this tax avoiding hypocrite.

In the past I've been slightly worried about injuring myself scrambling to turn the radio off after the news at 9. In the last week I've actually listened to 15/20 minutes of Callan each day. I decided to give Tubridy a go this morning. After about 30 seconds I banged my knee lunging for the radio.

Ditto, what a let down

sligojoek · 10-04-2020 9:12am

Lot of nice things and niceness.

Has kind been made redundant?

Yes, Ryan, we do know you’re taking us all for a ride with your salary. Such hypocrisy.

mistersifter · 10-04-2020 9:30am

That was surreal!

There are the workers who do all the emails and the calls and the other jobs.

There are the workers who do the odd bit of work.

There are the workers who are doing nothing and taking us all for a ride.

Zero self awareness.

I'm sure those who dont work for it have a valid reason, something along the lines of 'I didnt negotiate my contract/welfare payment, it was decided on my behalf' and then that validates everything

What the likes of Tubbs wants is a good long summer behind a mixer on some construction site with a rough ganger shoutin for "more muck" every 10 minutes it might give him a bit more perspective on how the other half live. Might wake up this man child out of his gorgeous, kind, fantasy world

Speaking of lack of awareness, yesterday's interview with the bald fella was very entertaining.

Bloke is going on about how losing the aul gruaig had a negative impact on his mental health. Clearly his message was to encourage men to embrace baldness and make people feel better about it.

Tubridy asks: "Are there people that have terrible heads with weird bone structures and they just shouldn't ever go bald?" .

Interviewee definitely a bit thrown by it. Talk about not being able to gauge the tone of a conversation.

It's amusing, though, this thing he has against baldies. Had a few pops at bald Late Late show audience members too in the past. Wonder if he had a "mean" baldy teacher back the day.

Brendan Bendar · 10-04-2020 7:28pm

Did Herr Duffy's next literary masterpiece vanity buke project-een get some pre-publicity too so to speak?

If the restrictions in social distancing remain in place for a long time, how is Tubridy going to conduct his Toy Show? With virtual virtuous children or standing alone amid a weird freak show of puppets?

Regarding baldness, how would he cope if ever he had to become hairless as a Sphinx cat for a spell, especially if his bone structure doesn’t suit?

ShamNNspace · 14-04-2020 12:16pm

What is it with the resurrection of "paths to freedom" these days? I see Duffy praising it too

Sure tis all about him anyway. He'd probably be happy enough to do away with the kids and just dance around dressed up as Princess Moana or something. Maybe they'd Skype a few kids in hospital or something between Tubridy's songs.

Well if that happened you wouldn't be able to joke about baldies any more. It wouldn't be kind.

He revisited the subject of hair this morning and announced that (SHOCK, HORROR!) he actually brushes his own hair before Late Late show. Doesn't need a single assistant to do that.

And to think there are boardsies who accuse him of not being worth his 500k!

Value for money right there.

Ah, but the fact he brushes his own hair doesn’t mean that RTÉ don’t employ someone, who’s on standby just in case Ryan sprains his hair brushing hand. No saving there!!

Haven't listened in a little while. I now know why. 25 minutes of shyte talk.

I caught a few minutes. Several things were intriguing in a very short space of time and a reference to himself as "The Toyman"?? Is this a new thing or have I just been lucky enough to miss it to date? Also called 'Paths To Freedom' 'Paths Of Freedom', then talked about how great RTE is for a while.

'The Toyman' came about from a text or letter they received from a 'listeners' child while he was off sick.
