The Rick & Ruth Breakfast Show was RTÉ 2fm's breakfast show which began after Ryan Tubridy's The Full Irish ended and ran until 26 September 2005. Presented by Rick O'Shea and Ruth Scott, the show was axed after six months in August 2005 when it was blamed for losing The Gerry Ryan Show 40,000 listeners to Today FM's Ray D'Arcy. The show was replaced by Marty Whelan who presented Marty in the Morning until his subsequent replacement by Colm & Jim-Jim who still present The Colm & Jim-Jim Breakfast Show. Scott was moved to the weekday 16:00 - 18:00 slot, whilst O'Shea returned to the late night 22:00 - 00:00 shift he had previously occupied.

“Here’s looking at you, kid.”

“As soon as we are born, if we could but get up, bath, dress, shave, breakfast once for all, if we could ‘cut’ these monotonous cycles of routine. If the sun rose it would stay up, or once we were alive we were immortal!”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
“Women hock their jewels and their husbands’ insurance policies to acquire an unaccustomed shade in hair or crêpe de chine. Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise? One is led to suspect that the interest people show in these much talked of commodities, painting, music, and writing, cannot be very deep or very genuine when they so wince under an unexpected impact.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
