The Ray D'Arcy Show - 7th January 2017

Atlantic Dawn

Tonights guests...

• Laura Whitmore - Presenter of TV Shows and that.
• Minister Ivan Yates - Ex TD and Minister, a lad you could go to for a few betting tips so to speak.
• Operation Transformation leaders Mairead Redmond, Chris McElligott, Marie Grace, Sean Daly and Yvonne Keenan-Ross - Gang of people that will try to make you feel sad as you sip on to your 5th full calorie can of alcohol this evening.

Not sure if the Lipulised Synchonised part of the show is back this year or not, no mention.

My god, does this man ever give up preaching to people.

So does Ray agree with plastic surgery now?

Harry Angstrom

Con was a legendary showjumper.

Atlantic Dawn

Football jersey wearing crowd bring down the tone of the audience :pac:

I'd say she's jumped a few fences herself.

NIMAN

1St article, smoking.

2nd article, weight loss.

Typical ray

Atlantic Dawn

Looks well for 48.

Ally Dick

Nice eye wart Yvonne

Atlantic Dawn

Wonder will Ray preach not to be at the gambling when he has Ivan Yates on.

Harry Angstrom

This Operation Transformation has overtaken X Factor when it comes to depressing life stories.

NIMAN

When she was looking in the mirror every day, did she not think of putting the fork down?

Ally Dick

I never watch that Operation Patronisation bilge. I refuse to watch it..and I would never do it. There are less pharisee/show off ways of losing weight

Atlantic Dawn

Gastric bypass is the cheaters way of doing it.

Berserker

Evening all. Standard "I want to lose weight" slot to kick off the year. Ray can probably coach the lot of them.

Harry Angstrom

Gastric bypass, a new addition to the M50.

Arne_Saknussem

"Who let that fat woman into the room?" is an odd phrase.

PeterTheNinth

He's funny that lad, I heard him on the radio and he's a laugh a minute.

Edit: I'm obviously not talking about D'Arcy before somebody quotes my post.

He'd be a better presenter than the guy on half a mill a year

I know crazy nonsense like eating well and exercising. It isn't rocket science. Don't understand why people need to go on television to do it.

Darcy makes me reach for the beer. Every ****in time. Right. Yeah, yeah, right.

There's plenty of money in the racket of telling people to do more and eat less

Arne_Saknussem

Ray trolling us all by focusing on each of their misery stories.

Harry Angstrom

Ray will probably challenge them to push-ups at the end of the interview.

Arne_Saknussem

Always interested in 'baking' or 'bacon'?

Harry Angstrom

This lad looks like a young Simon Delaney.

PeterTheNinth

The judgmental way that he says "And you're the youngest" then grimaces... as if she of all of them has the least excuse to be overweight.

Hard not to feel sympathy for all of them.

Ally Dick

Yvonne was a fox when she was thinner. She should get rid of the eye wart first and foremost though

He would be perfect for a prequel to Batchelors Walk.

Diet Coke.... :rolleyes:

Operation Transformation is such a failure of a program, it says it want so to make people thinner and healthier, but without unhealthy and heavy people, they would have no program.

take everything

Has Ray mentioned porridge and running.

Harry Angstrom

All this talk of food is making me hungry.

If you grow an eye wart you have higher odds of appearing on RTE.

NIMAN

Ray nearly went and got a bag of crisps?

I bet he hasn't got crisps in the cupboards at home

PeterTheNinth

yeah Ray, her mother tried to introduce a bit of a balance to her diet when she was young and she just didn't take to it. A bit like when RTE tried to introduce a bit of balance in to your show, but that did f**k all difference, the BAI are still sending in the forms on a regular basis.

sudzs

I can't hear Operation transformation being mentioned without thinking of Gerry Ryan.

It's nothing more than an ego trip for the mentors.

That made me want a Pizza

PeterTheNinth

I never understood one thing though... They all say "Oh I hate going up there in front of everybody with the lycra". Surely if they went to them a year in advance and said "if you dont lose three stone we're putting you on the telly in lycra" that would be enough of a motivating factor for somebody to get moving?

Good evening all!!

I know, i could be out walking instead

Ray, ye wer a stunner, when did it all go wrong.

Well, i think the worst of it's over, with Ray's patronising + pasty porridge plan

I wonder who's gonna be brave to give out to Dr Eva(l) tomoro nite

That's making me more hungrier

Atlantic Dawn

There should be a fat fellas football team, all players must be over 20 stone at the start of the season.

RobertKK

Some people find it hard to put weight on.

Berserker

The sad thing is that none of these reasons are going to lead to long term success. Weddings, clothes and all that malarkey aren't going to make you get up and go out exercising when it is freezing cold or bucketing rain outside.

PeterTheNinth

So we've had the anti smoking section.
Then we've had the anti sugar section.
No doubt he's about to tackle Ivan Yates about his gambling shops next.
