The Ray D'Arcy Show Thread - Mod note Post # 1 Updated

Mark 00 · 2007-04-23 10:55:23

Is anybody getting tired of the Ray D'arcy show. well not so much the show but rather him and his moral highground. If i'm looking for an opinionated gobs**te, there are plenty of other shows. His show used to be just about havin a laugh and not takin things too seriously but in the last year or so he cant seem to talk…

Yep, the only reason that Jenny Kelly slept with Ray Darcy is to get to "the top" - nothing to do with her own merits as a producer/on-air contributor.

AH HA HA HA HAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAA

Jenny Kelly Biography
Jenny was raised in South county Dublin. She attended St Joseph of Cluny at Primary level and Newtown School in Waterford at Secondary level. After leaving school, Jenny went on to study Theatre studies in Trinity College Dublin. Although she did not catch the acting bug, it wasn’t long before the call of radio was heard and she volunteered her services to Dublin South Community Radio and ended up presenting a weekly half hour arts programme. It was this experience that led her to a job in RTE in 1994 – working in 2FM – eventually she was given the opportunity for her first National broadcast - From the world's biggest, fastest roller coaster! In 1997 she joined East Coast Radio co presenting The Breakfast show and producing their mid morning show. At the beginning of 2000, She moved to Today FM working in music programming with Phil Cawley and Tim Kelly. That all changed in September 2000 when Ray D’Arcy joined the station and The Ray D’Arcy Show began… 5 years later Jenny remains working as show Producer along with been Co-Presenter on Fix it Friday.

Hardly the case here considering the following information, which you posted. There's years of experience there and nothing to indicate she might have shagged her way to the top.

Nice - she's no Kate Moss, therefore she's a monster. And if she is that hideous, it's surprising that she's managed to get all those shags to get to the top, as you've said.

I switched off from him a while back. Anytime I turn him on now he's talking about his daughter.

Tom Dunne should take over his show permanently, he was brilliant when he filled in for Ray recently.

Is it just me or is Ray Darcy becoming the new Joe Duffy. Always banging on about how everything is wrong and if they did it my way blah blah blah... holier than thou etc. He has become a boring parody of every self important radio jock ever to have lived. I suppose if people tell you, you are great all the time (which he was) it changes you and you start to believe your own hype.

Have to agree,
I was a big fan of the show , have been listening since the first day but lately
the show is gone terrible.
I don't know if its to do with the fact that the team has been broken up but
its not the same.
He does seem to go on a bit about society and whats wrong and how to fix it etc...
I listen on Fridays for fix it Friday but even that has run its course I think.
Thank god for Phantom.....

Have to say i'm beginning to tire of the pontificating that he goes on with; i think to be honest the 'sad single bloke with no girlfriend' was a lot funnier than the 'happily settled down with a child' bloke...

Obv I can't stand GRyan on the other channel so it looks like i'm gonna have to countenance listening to Radio 1...

oh jesus...is this what is has come to...

I'm so glad I found this thread

I frickin despise the Ray D'Arcy show and all its 'Smugness'

Unfortunatly most of my work mates have Today FM on all the time and its usually what I get stuck listening to.

That whole crew are the Smugest people in the country.

On a journey from Dublin to Limerick a while back the radio in the car was stuck on Today FM. Had to listen to them drone on about some competion they were dreaming up about the sexiest Male builder in Ireland. It was the highest level of airwave pollution I've come across...then I had to listen to Ray Foley....seriously people I've read funnier suicide notes

It also breaks my heart when D'Arcy plays a really good song as he trys then to own the song with his smugness.

When I can I tune straight to NewsTalk thank God for that station.

I'm so happy I'm not alone in my aboration of the 2 Rays. I was beginning to think people were being brainwashed.

I'd give my left nut to be a radio DJ...I'd show the feckers how play some decent tunes and to axe the traffic and news.

Traffic reports should be kept to a minimum (e.g Traffic is sh1te. stay in bed) and News bulletins should only be every 3 hours.

i'm glad I got that off my chest

You'll find that it's not Ray or Ray who decide on the amount of news..... It's the broadcasting commission.

I understand that but IMO there are too many bulletins on all channels.

I had the misfortune of sitting through the whole show today too :mad:

Listening to a Rock, Paper, Scissors game on radio was a low-point alright.

Can't believe the rules had to be cited for some listeners :eek:

the whole show made me feel like that nut who is trying to stay awake for 10 days

Anyone esle find the fix it friday slot annoying now that Jenny and Ray are a settled down, official 'couple'. Their over-flirtatious/over-happiness with life/teenage giggling bugs me. And they never fail to bring in some angle of their personal lives which is totally irrelevant....annoying.

Used to be way better.

Oh and Will annoys me aswell....a non-funny know it all who knows too much about cleaning and other irrelevant things that are uninteresting.

Get onto Phantom, good Djs and good music. Although WAAAAAAYYY too many traffic slots that nobody listens to anyway

According to the recent JNLR figures most people with disagree with this thread. D'Arcy is one of the few shows on the up.

I do think the quality of the programme has suffered a bit recently e.g the ESB metre reading campaign?! Who gives a ****.

Still, the bit with some girl whose dream it was to sit on Willie O'Dea's knee and stroke his mustache was hilarious.

oh aye - when it's good, it's comedy gold. I only heard that bit on the last Word being replayed, and had to pull the car over i was laughing so much at it. I think the problem though is that there is a definite move on the part of Ray, perhaps in spite of himself, to be a bit more
a) sanctimonious
b) luvvy-duvvy
c) joe-duffy-lite
d) all of the above

Back in the day, the show was completely flying by the seat of its pants, and the inherent charm of it was the d'arcy naivity all the way. Now it seems to have a lost a little of that innocence, the stuff that made it fun.

I'm possibly gonna get flayed for this as well, but the endless campaigning is getting on me wick as well. Dammit, they used to do it on That's Life on the BBC and it didn't bloody sit well with me then, either...

of course, the counter-argument is that if shows that aren't listened to by a lot of people don't do these things, then the potential audience for the campaign falls...to which i say phoooey...bring back the funny old Ray D'arcy show...

I used to enjoy his show up until about 7 months ago, I dont really hear it anymore but have to agree its gone seriously downhill, from what I have heard of it.

The texts he reads out after someone performs has always irked me. I never liked the way the texters made out that they were his mates.

I think the comment about Jenny Kelly above is disgraceful and should be deleted. Jenny is a lady and of a far greater quality person than Gray Darcy. But I totally agree Darcy is a total b*llix and doesn't deserve his listenership. He has no personality and looks about fifty years old. So grumpy on air. He insults his guests and lets his moods take over interviews, comments and musical choice. And he so needs texts to present, unlike natural performers like GRyan, Dempsey and Will Leahy. If it wasn't for Martin Maguire he wouldn't make it on radio. Plus did you see that Ian dempsey row story in the Sindo a few weeks ago? Dempsey was able to lie that there was no arguement only Darcy is such an anal w**ker that he admitted they hate each other!!! LOL... Jenny, jenny, jenny...

I thought you were talking about Gerry Ryan with that paragraph! And it's radio, for feck's sake.....what does it matter what age someone looks ? Mind you, if you automatically assume that someone looks "about fifty" just because their hair is grey, then you've some learning to do.......I hope I look like that when I'm 50!

If it wasn't for Martin Maguire he wouldn't make it on radio. Plus did you see that Ian dempsey row story in the Sindo a few weeks ago? Dempsey was able to lie that there was no arguement only Darcy is such an anal w**ker that he admitted they hate each other!!! LOL...

Facts to back up those sentences, please ? You're coming across like Jenny Kelly's previous boyfriend, complete with chip on shoulder about Ray.....

I saw the Sindo article, and even allowing for the rumour, lies and spin that the Sindo normally print, I still can't remember anything about them hating each other. How do you know that Dempsey lied, and since when does "we're not best buddies and don't hang out" become "we hate each other" ?

Quit stirring, or else back it up with something real.

Just listened to Tom Dunne filling in for Ray.
What a breath of fresh air.
He's effortlessly funny and involves the rest of the crew so much better.

The whole atmosphere was much more lighthearted and free flowing

Kinda like the way Rays program used to be before he read "So you want to be Gerry Ryan" by Gerry Ryan

I couldn't agree more with that - it's a sad state of affairs when I'm delighted that Ray is off and Tom is filling in for him.

I used to be a major fan of the show, but these days I leave the radio off and listen to music instead.

As much as I dont like Tom Dunne, he was far more tolerable than Darcy. The music was the same old shíte, but at least he wasnt on a pointless crusade or ranting ad nauseum about what annoyed him over the weekend.

Are you talking about "off the ball" ? If so, it proves that people have different tastes.....having heard about this before newstalk went nationwide, I tuned in the first week and haven't tuned in since.....

I normally try and avoid personal digs and presenters and shows, since each presenter is doing their best and usually have their own audience, so all I'll say is that "off the ball" is "definitely not for me".

P.S. LMAO at the "how to be gerry ryan" book by gerry ryan comment. I don't personally think Ray is gone quite that bad, but I can kinda see where you're coming from, despite still being a partial fan of Ray's show

This thread is one of the best reads I've had in a long time. I really hope it is kept alive with daily reports of how sh*t the show is. I will personally post something here every time he says something to annoy me. Until now I thought everyone who listened to the show was an 'Oh my God Ray.. texter'.

The worst point of the show for me was the whole 'Random act of Christmasnessness' - it made my skin crawl, even typing that word is doing the same now. (I think he's trying a random act of kindness thing soon :eek: :mad: .)

Someone mentioned earlier about him reading out the texts; They're nearly fighting each other to give the best review ("That was brill", "best ever", "pure class" are regulars)..., it's his monotone voice when reading them that gets me. The worst type of text is the one that begins with 'Oh my God I'm in tears here...so touching......so sad....' when the f*ckin subject isn't even sad!!

Will's time is up - being rude to callers because they don't agree with his cleaning techniques or pathetic pastimes. Who doesn't know the rules of Rock, Paper, Scissors? Even after they explained he was too smug to say he understood. And his laugh....:mad:

Tom Dunne is fannnnntastic - he just has a genuine sense of humour, he's not trying too hard and doesn't ever get sucked into discussing serious issues. I'm praying he replaces D'Arcy.

D'Arcy is a pipsqueak and should be put in a corner with a pair of those anti-fart pants over his head.

Ahhh.....catharsis.....

Yeah I agree 100%.
It's not that I don't like Ray D'Arcy, I just think his show has kinda lost it's way. It just seems so regimented and formulated.

Tom Dunne standing in was brilliant, a real breath of fresh air. It was like having a really cool school teacher standing in while you're regular teacher was out sick.

No doubt Ray will be back on Monday moaning about the crap weather for the last two weeks and lamenting about the quality time he's spent with his daughter. Did you know that he has a new daughter? No? Probably because he doesn't talk about it that much! :rolleyes:

His show is still alright but he needs to lighten up a bit.

yeah I agree that the D'arcy has become boring and tired. I enjoyed listening to Tom Dunne when he filled in. And that Mr. Construction yoke last week, that was ****. who's idea was it to put something like that on the radio?

Someone mentioned earlier about him reading out the texts; They're nearly fighting each other to give the best review ("That was brill", "best ever", "pure class" are regulars)..., it's his monotone voice when reading them that gets me. The worst type of text is the one that begins with 'Oh my God I'm in tears here...so touching......so sad....' when the f*ckin subject isn't even sad!!

Finally someone has mentioned the one thing that I hate about the guy- his monotone voice. He sounds like a 14 year old depressed teenager trying to read Shakespeare. I cannot express in words how much I hate Darcy. For years I've had to put up with people saying that he's SO intelligent and he's SO caring and moral with people quoting 'interesting' facts they've heard on fix-it Friday. You must be a special type of idiot to resort to asking Darcy about your 'interesting' queries e.g.An actual question: "How much time in your life do you spend blinking, without sleeping like?" (sic)

Answer: who cares, like.

How about "how regularly do kids put the word 'like' into sentences where it's not required ?" :rolleyes:

Quirky facts are fine by me....at least they beat the pointless "celebrity" news......Lucy Kay sounds great on the radio, but Heat magazine's whole "raison d'etre" is something I'll never understand, and having it on the radio as well is completely pointless....if people want it, let 'em buy the magazine! :mad:

and I hate that female "comedian" (Maeve Higgins I think here name is) that he has on his show on a Monday. she rambles on about nothing in particular and is just not funny.:rolleyes:

We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

"I hate pants. Don't you hate pants?"

Ray is entertaining but sometimes he gets on the bandwagon when he is just plain wrong and then he gets his non fictitious army of texters to back him up. That really grinds my gears.

Looking forward to seeing his ratings.

All he's had are ups since he started - wonder how he'd react to a downturn....?

Not very well I would imagine - he think he's the best thing since sliced bread.

At least Gerry Ryan can take it on the (one of four) chin(s)

Wha? Fair points, but I can't listen to Tom Dunne. He mentions Something Happens about every second sentence. Shup!
