I think the Apprentice appearance wasn't much to go by really. He was just a guest on it, and only had about 5 minutes (if that) of airtime.

As the presenter, he will probably have a lot more free reign.

Just as long as he doesn't Vernon Kay it up too much. :P

plus if I remember correctly he told on air afterwards that he was VERY late for fil,ing it, as he had forgotten and was a bit flustered.

I think Foley's show can get very tedious with the "banter" but seriously what are the options? Newstalk have a current affairs show on which is very good (they cut the Bank of Scotland guy in half today) but there's only so many times in a week you can hear that the country is ****ed! Musically and entertainment wise, noon until 2 has a dearth of talent and Foley and Co are the pick of the bunch.

Well in Foley's defence, he was hungover when he was on the Apprentice. :pac:

And he never ironed his shirt :eek:

Really doesn't sound like you're defending him there... being hungover is no excuse when you're supposed to perform on TV or radio. A professional shouldn't let it happen.

If you're going to show up for a programme hung over and put in a crap performance, you're better off not showing up.

Note the ":pac:" at the end of the sentence.

I wasn't being completely serious.

which was part of why I said it didn't sound like you were really trying to defend him

My thoughts on the excuse of being hungover stand.

I think the Ray Foley show is great. Not a big fan of the music though. Once you realise he is trying to be egotistical on purpose you get the funny side.

Thought whe the Seoige sisters were on it was hilarious - although probably kept the whole "your on MTV now" bit going too long.

I've found myself listening less and less these days. I like the show but it's nothing exactly new.

Little bit of talk and the same playlist every day.

I'd listen to it on Friday for a bit where I find that the music is better but that's about it really.

I'd probably just rather listen to the podcast to cut out all the music.

I usual switch off the second I hear his voice, esp that hilarious good nafternoon line

SarahBM

there was a time there just after Xmas when I just had to listen every day, but dont fell as much of a need to listen at the mo.

bring back lazy radio!

and the music could be a bit better too. not a fan of dance stuff.

but Foley is still the King of the Afternoon. there is nothing else to listen to at that time of the day. Im hardly going to turn on 2FM, that button on my radio is broken

It was funny alright. The majority of what he played were from 2FM's DJ for a day competition in '97.

That laugh. Dear god it is awful stuff.

It sounds like its a production idea for her to laugh in the background sometimes. Its terrible. Very very fake at times

Worst show i've ever heard. Not clever, not fun. I see what he's trying to do, its insulting to anyone who's not simple.

What do you think about Ray Foley. I used to LOVE THE SHOW, but getting tired of the self naming King
