Ryan Tubridy

And just like when I was a boy, I used to call in when I was about 14, 15 for a tea time express cake and a coffee.

I was that kind of kid.

like coffee precocious knob so i i thought i'd go in and say and uh she did what she did since i was a kid she put the head of the window confused look came through the door she said and who is this i said ryan tuberty and she's right how are you still looking the same okay enough with the plumos how are you good good good good she looked

Kind of the same as my aunt always did come in I guess I gave her a hug didn't really ever hug hug her before but I said gonna hug her and We we made coffee She was doing the cross which is 96 and she started talking about her parents and her grandparents and she's a genealogist every family as an archivist She knew all these things

But that's the point.

Anyway, it was lovely to reconnect because I had time.

For the last 20 years, I've been doing a radio show every morning.

I wouldn't be able to do this.

It's Friday morning, early.

And I was just constantly on the hamster's wheel.

Radio, radio, radio, radio, TV, TV, TV, TV, radio, radio, radio, TV, TV, TV, green room, ha, ha, ha, next day, recover, mad night, get to Sunday, okay, get ready for Monday.

Boom.

It was intense, but I always felt the green room was like my house at a dinner party.

I always felt the guest's experience had to include a good post-show experience as well.

Really?

I felt it.

This is how proprietorial I felt about the late, late.

It was like you're coming to a dinner party in my house, and I want you to be happy and do photographs with everyone.

And the bar was running, and you should never feel like you have to run off.

And Yvonne ran the green room and she knew, she knew by me, she'd say, oh, he's tired or he's stuck over there.
