Between Ladbrokes, Cheltenham and The Cash Machine he's a one man gambling ad this week.
The legs-in-the-shower thing got old about two months ago. Every single guest, I can nearly repeat verbatim: "Do you wash your legs in the shower? I don't mean like if you've been playing a match or doing the garden, we'll take that for granted, but in the normal course of events, where you're just in the shower, cos I don't, do you wash your legs?"
The other thing that bugs me is giving the correct answer or a bit of random trivia if someone gives the wrong answer in the middle of Musicmaster, which is, like, a timed quiz! "No, it's false, he actually played the saxophone, not the ukelele!" Not the right time, Dave, stfu and just ask the next bloody question, don't be wasting the contestant's time like that!
It was 2006 in fairness
Foley did just fine at 98, iirc he fell foul of the PD and was forced to do segments that he wasn't bothered with. His enthusiasm was waning and I also remember talk that he was only doing that while he waited for the Breakfast slot at Today FM to open up and he had become bored of lunchtimes... and as we know, Iano is still going strong. He did better than fine at Red, listenership was good and I know of loads of Cork people who still miss him from the local airwaves. Personally I thought it was a very sanitised, tame version of what he can do.
He lost 2k listeners in the last JNLRs, but that was after he increased the listenership by a huge amount compared to Fergal D'Arcy. Last August books said he had the highest ever listenership figures for that slot... so I don't know why you're saying 'he has just lost yet another couple of thousand listeners'.
I have no issues with him spelling out the maths. If anything it reinforces the rules which a lot of people seem to struggle with. I guess "6 + 1 = 7, 6 + 2 = 8 but 6 x 3 is 18" is a bit more concise than spelling out the ins and outs of it... which he still does anyway 😖
That, and if there's a couple of seconds left in the quiz and time for maybe a guess based on having heard half the question, he'll drag things out so as not to have to ask not.
I see they've started to recycle Music Master answers. Robbie Williams and Damon Albarn have enjoyed second stints as answers this week. But that's not a bad thing, based on some of the recent, increasingly obscure answers.
John Travolta, wtf!! Who next, Hale and Pace?
Getting tired of Louise and her coupla focal.Cringe.
What's "cringe" is someone living in Ireland giving out about duine eile in Éireann ag déan úsaid as an príomh teanga.
I wouldn't mind if she did it all in Irish.
This place would go into meltdown altogether
Anyone know what these "We're getting the band back together" (I'm not sure that's the exact wording, but it's similar) promos are all about?
Maybe they are poaching D'Arcy back from rte?
The insufferable charity busking sh1te.
No way! It's been years since I listened to Today FM, but I remember than on Dermot and Dave. He's still asking that? Jesus.
I don't know who stations like 2fm or TodayFM are trying to appeal to with these hip presenters who have a cupla focal.
🙄 Irish people? She's fluent, like, and a proud Gaelgóir. You know the one growth area in education? Gaelscoileanna and Gael Coláiste.
Yep, he obviously thinks it's hilarious.
Genuinely don't understand how and why people get worked up by it.
People also get worked up when presenters take days off. Getting worked up for the sake of it
Note to the people who make the Today FM promos: Louise talking about eating tuna straight from the tin may not be the scintillating mass-appeal content you think it is...
Music master turning into a farce, second day in a row that there were people in the background prompting the player. i know its only a bit of craic but it should be fair if you're bothering to play
you trying to tell me the girl who turned 18 today was getting answers about Elvis, Gabrielle, Frankie Valli etc!? her ma was telling her all the answers
I don't mind people getting help, it's Dave shiting in with the ",what a legend, unbelievable knowledge" and then reading out similar texts from numpty listeners to the same effect. Everyone knows the answers weren't all hers.
I dont understand how more peple dont just google get the final artis in music master. (More honset players than l would be.)
Put in the year and place of birth and youll have the answer before he finishes reading the lyric.
Does he specifically says no help is allowed? If not, then I don't see the problem.
If course not, he'll often ask who's there with you for help. Or the person will say "we always play here".
Another week leading to a bank holiday weekend lines up perfectly with some "missed" cash machine calls and then a rollover and guaranteed winner on Friday. You couldn't make it up, oh wait........
Also, you can see tankers driving up to Dublin Airport every day and the only place they can be going is to load chemicals onto planes and have you seen the sky near the airport!? WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!
Keep texting, you'll win it yet.
