Garrihy Back on RTE 2FM: A Hilarious & Heartwarming Return
Okay, so you guys know how much I love 2FM, right? It's like, my constant companion during those soul-crushing commutes. So when I heard the news – Garrihy's back on RTE 2FM – I practically jumped out of my skin! Seriously, I did a little happy dance in my kitchen, much to the amusement (or annoyance) of my cat, Mr. Fluffernutter.
This wasn't just any return; this felt like a homecoming. Remember when he… well, let's just say there was a bit of a situation? Let's not dwell on the past, haha. The important thing is, he's back, and it feels right.
The Long Road Back
I'll admit, there were a few weeks there where I was, like, totally bummed. My morning routine felt… off. Empty. You know that feeling? It’s like when your favourite coffee shop changes their blend—initially, it just feels like a minor inconvenience, but after a while, the absence gnaws at your soul. It was similar. His absence left a void in my daily dose of radio laughter.
I even tried listening to other stations. Don't get me wrong, some were good. But they just… weren’t him. It felt strange. It’s hard to explain. Like putting on a favourite pair of jeans that suddenly don’t fit.
I spent hours, probably way too many hours, scrolling through social media, desperately searching for any updates. I even stalked some of the RTE 2FM accounts, which, looking back, was a bit pathetic, but hey, desperation makes you do crazy things!
The Triumphant Return
Then, BOOM! The announcement! I nearly choked on my tea. Seriously, the joy was palpable. It felt like everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief. The energy shift was amazing.
The official RTE announcement was all very professional, of course. But the underlying excitement? You could feel it. It was like the air itself crackled with anticipation. The fans on social media? Absolute mayhem! It was a glorious mess of excitement and relief, the kind that only a truly beloved radio personality can inspire.
Lessons Learned (and a few tips for dealing with radio heartbreak)
This whole Garrihy situation taught me a few things:
- Patience is a virtue: Sometimes, things take time. The best things are worth waiting for. The drama caused a bit of a delay for the return, of course.
- Support your faves: Show your love! Tweet, comment, share their posts. Let them know you appreciate their work. Let's be real, the support from the community definitely played a role in bringing him back.
- Don't be afraid to be vocal: (But do it nicely!) If you miss something, let the station know. Feedback is super important in radio—and in pretty much any creative field.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go listen to the Garrihy show. And maybe do another happy dance. This time, with Mr. Fluffernutter joining in! (Okay, maybe not.)
