The Ray D'Arcy Show - 12th. January 2019

Welsh Megaman

Nineties pop star Peter Andre, writer Emilie Pine, Dr. Eva Orsmond, and comedian David McSavage appear on this week's Ray D'Arcy Show.

Celebrating 25 years in show business, Andre will be chatting to Ray about his life and career. He'll talk about the highs and lows of the music industry, love, family and the enduring appeal of his biggest hit, 'Mysterious Girl'.

Straight-talking weight loss expert Dr Eva Orsmond will join Ray to talk about her new book which aims to help people take control of their Type 2 diabetes. She'll also update us on her 'health hotel' project in Portugal and how she's ready for a new chapter in her life.

Award-winning writer Emilie Pine joins Ray to talk about 'Notes to Self', an open and honest personal story which breaks the silence around topics from infertility and sexual violence to menstruation and menopause.

Comedian David McSavage also joins Ray to talk about his new live show, 'National Treasure', and working with George Clooney on his upcoming miniseries 'Catch-22'.

And Ray is joined by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra who will perform some of ABBA's greatest hits including, 'Mamma Mia' and 'Dancing Queen'.

'The Ray D'Arcy Show' airs this Saturday on RTÉ One at 9.45pm.

Hopefully David McSavage gets more than 7 minutes worth.

Ol' Donie

WHY WOULD YOU BOOK AN ACTUAL CONCERT ORCHESTRA AND GET THEM TO PLAY F*CKING ABBA??

I swear to Jesus Christ in heaven.

That's absolutely unbelieveable.

Say Your Number

Yeah they should have got them to play Coldplay songs instead.

I suppose on the Orchestra(s) they do spend double what it costs for RTE's entire online budget.

Using them for ABBA isn't as bad as that Niall Horan atrocity last year.

*shudders*

Don't think we've much chance of getting Declan Rice now after his performance today.

"IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT, AND WE'RE LIVE ON DE TELLY!"

Ash.J.Williams

Controversial comedian.... F off Ray

Welsh Megaman

"Pop icon Peter Andre"

Atlantic Dawn

Did the sugar tax not sort out this whole problem?

Another daytime magazine show type tv interview on a Saturday night on RTE. Now this is entertainment!!

Welsh Megaman

"So Eva...you're from Finland. Do you like Teräsbetoni? Omnium Gatherum?"


*sigh*

EPAndlee

She can feck off, I'm sitting here hoovering down tea cakes and drinking a stupid amount of tea

Ol' Donie

This is so much fun.

Honestly.

Can we get rid of McSavage and maybe get someone on to talk about, I dunno, Chrone's disease or something.

That would also be fun, also.

Welsh Megaman

Don't wanna be hearing this after I had a takeaway curry for tea, and two glasses of wine!

She's probably more into that symphonic stuff.

EPAndlee

So don't bother to exercise? That's all I need to hear

Literally every time I head Declan Rice's name I get confused with Damien Rice, your man that had a big hit Album in the 90s around the time Declan Rice started trying to decide his nationality.

Welsh Megaman

I wonder if Peter Andre still keeps in touch with Bubbler Ranx.



Don't you?

RobertKK

I find the Finns are very direct when it comes to stuff, I play an online game with a group and one is from Finland, he never sugar coats his views...just like Dr Eva.

Say Your Number

I really fancy going to get some fast food now and a big bottle of Coke to go with it.

Skid X

Come on lads, lets all meet up in Dr Evil's Health Hotel in Portugal

I bet it would make Club Tropicana look lame.

RobertKK

That is good news, and she is looking well.

Atlantic Dawn

I'm planning on losing a few pounds myself, will be doing it the old fashioned way.

Welsh Megaman

Willie Nelson on guitar!

Say Your Number

Young Johnny Logan on the far left there :eek:

Candamir

Zip up yer mickey there too!

Skid X

Where do you start here?

Well, six vocalists.

That's at least two too many by any measure.


Supporting the Arts? This is Insania.

Atlantic Dawn

Can they do a version of The Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up next weerkend on the show?

Atlantic Dawn

Feckin behing the ear tatoo, sweet jaysus.

Candamir

Eva’s a fruitcake though. Obviously never had contact with actual diabetic services in this country.

Ol' Donie

Can they not just play The Imperial March or something from Indiana Jones?

Welsh Megaman

Guy on the far right appears to have borrowed a jacket from My Chemical Romance.



Mamma Emo!

RobertKK

So far so good for Ray.

Skid X

Is your woman riding the giant M&M in that ad?

And was she and her husband going to eat him afterwards?


That is wrong on many, many levels.

"We have the perfect antidote to the post Christmas blues for ya" says Ray on a Saurday night just after interviewing a doctor about type 2 diabetes :pac::pac: Is it any wonder we have the blues, Ray?

EPAndlee

A bed for everyone in the audience?

Atlantic Dawn

He should do weddings with that tune.

Welsh Megaman

"The rapper, whatshisname"


:eek: :eek:


I think you'll find his name is Bubbler Ranx, Ray.

Mattress Mick won't be happy.

Peter Andre ... seems like a pleasant chap.

Kind of admire him for making very little talent going a long way.

EPAndlee

The banter is flowing...

That seems to be it, alright. The M&M seems a bit confused as to what's going on. Because it makes no sense, probably.
