He's 5' 8"

No way. I saw him in a bar in Dublin a few years back and he's no more than 5'4". His head is disproportionately massive (literally) though.

Yeah. Sounds likely. Also explains his obsession with other people's height

Ray letting us know his skin feels lovely today, he'll be recommending tampons next!!!

neris

The whole babies, kids, pregnancy thing is bordering on the obsessive. Ray thinks coz hes kids everyone else is as obsessed and over the top about kids as he is

I like listening to John Lonergan, he's a rock of sense!

You're dead right, but jesus his accent drives me up the wall. The lack of judgment is a breath of fresh air, so many parents could benefit from listening to him.

Occasionally she'll raise a smirk, but I'd rarely burst out laughing!

FunLover18

I quite like her. Missed the interview though.

Ray outdone himself today. Only 2 minutes into the show and he messed up,

seosamh1980

All Ray wants to talk about is babies and terminal illness. Just what you want to listen to at work when you're already in a bored/bad mood.

I like Maeve. Like RachaelVO, I'll rare laugh at her comedy, but I like listening to her and find her entertaining. She was Newsjack on BBC4 Extra a while ago IIRC and was quite funny.

alan partridge aha

I've said it before now I'll say it again STOP LISTENING TO THAT OBNOXIOUS GIT !!!!!!!

Really enjoyed the interview with the 3 Garth Brooks "fanatics", they were good fun. I think it killed ray to play one of his songs, but he did, fair play to him!,

Clonmel1000

One of them said "its a tribute to the country" that he decided to play here. I was waiting for some angle on how Brooks was either part oirish or worse an ex rugby player.

His mother's name was Colleen McElroy Carroll, sounds Irish to me...

Ha! And that right there is a tribute to the gullibility of fanboys.

That whole opening fifteen minutes annoyed the crap out of me, every single bit, plus he completely ruined my Friday morning when told us it's Thursday. Hope the weekend feels as long...

Ah get off the fence there, you'll give yourself splinters!

I enjoyed the voice over competition, I like when Ray does stuff like that, it’s fun and a bit stupid which is what his show should be about – and used to be about. He has got too caught up in trying to be the next Matt Cooper or Pat Kenny and the show has become dreary and repetitive as a result.

Yep, it was funny alright but a total rip-off of Ray Foley's Gauntlet from way back when.

Hope Carrot cake man is a one day only event and not going to be constantly played until garth brooks is over.

D'arcy was doing stuff like this with his team long before Foley's Gauntlet. Just hasn't done it in a long time because he's been busy depressing the nation with his rants.

One question has he dropped listeners significantly in the latest jnlr's??
(Please say yes, please say yes....)

Latest JNLR figures today showing the show is down 13,000 listeners in the last year , not a huge amount considering the market share he has but, it's still a shift in the wrong direction
