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

Couldn't believe Anton calling the tri-colour a trick-olor. Normally something you'd hear from an orange man up north.

Any news on Jenny, Ray wasnt in today, is he a daddy for the second time yet?

ya i agree Ray thinks his opinion is sacred, he is getting annoying these last few years, iv a sneaky feeling he will follow his old boss willy back to 2fm. they should give the show to Anton & Will , they have great wit & radio chemistry. the other one Mairead, is just a tag alone, even on the craig doyle show, she gets talked over time and time again. but the worst thing is, there is no one better on to listen to at that time, tubbs is an old man in a young mans body dressed as an old man, and is so tangled up in 2fm corporate ****e, bbc here he comes. and colm hayed on 2fm , jesus he is total tripe, he should be a weekend presenter at best
We should create out own radio station !

Surely being a daddy is a binary thing, first you're not one and then you become one?

I just switch off whenever Anton is on, I cannot listen to him.

Congrats to them both on the birth of a baby boy!

Yep, congrats to Ray & Jenny! I'm a Ray fan, but I'm looking forward to the Anton & Will show for a week or two, they have an easy chemistry and it's nice for a change!

Heard Foley saying they'd named the baby Tom. (or possibly Thomas)

Congrats to them.

I never heard that, but Will needs someone to bounce off. I love his little rants, you can imagine his face going bright red and steam coming out his ears!

Will's cookie monster reading of the 50 shades of grey was priceless, very very funny. As said Will & Anton have a great chemistry between them, Mairead will have her work cut out keeping them in line over the week!

Will is similar to JP on the Foley show, an excellent contributor, but not brilliant on his own.

I have vague memories of Will presenting the show ans it was car crash stuff. He's much better just commenting on stuff as opposed to being up front.

I didnt know will did the show solo before, but I mean Jenny has filled in for ray at Least once, and when I heard her I wondered why will didn't do it. But if his gig didn't go well then that's why.

I'm pretty sure Will did the show as lead host with Mairead as support at least once...

cats.life

yes i remember now, ray was doing rose of tralee and jenny done a few days , then Will toke over for a day or two with mairead.it was not the best radio:o

fifi234ie

Mairead's on hols next week, can't wait for Anton and Will show

thalia_13

God is it me or is Mairead insufferable??? I dont think she is funny nor does she contribute mych to the show IMHO!! Its like she is always competing to be heard, real " miss miss I know the answer" and kinda tjid one time at band camp... And she is always on with that fool Craig Doyle! Who hires these people?

No I didn't, plenty others out there to do that, I will wait for the sob story, as I am a 6ft trucker crying my eyes out.

ha ha very good, yes they read from the same script .
why does he have a major depressing segment on most mornings from 930 to 10am.
and he continues to increase his listenership.
thats all bull.
its amazing most stations bragg about how they gain more listeners,
i heard the the JNLR Ratings cost 9 grand per station and are conducted by basic on the street surveys.
ray and co live to broadcast another day. bet he will feck off to 2fm or 4fm,

Why would he leave now?

colmmcl

his old boss willy o reilly went back to rte.
overall the show is out dated, scripted to the last, texts are screened, cos for example when they brought out the US 2 Book over a year ago, they went on about how taking a picture on the that day, only one picture will only be accepted, ( i emailed in 20) hoping at least 1 would make the book. but sadly no.
So when the book came out Mairead Farrell got her face in it on 3 different pages, now thats not a co-incidence, thats bull and i emailed them, text them and rang them and it was never brought up.

Naah, Mairead is an erudite powerhouse of political, economic and social discourse. Who else but her could distil every single problem currently plaguing the world to "It's probably a man thing."

LOL. That's hilarious. You rang them to complain? What did they say?
