Ray D'arcy on RTE Radio 1 **Mod Warning post 1** 27th Jan Forward

Oh dear lord D'arcy playign some horsesh1t by a crowd called the bog men. I can hear the cat screeching and I don't even have a cat. 😕

More licence fee money has gone to great use yet again by RTE radio 1

Ray quickly into preachy-mode today.

"Try not to look on Dry January as a test if endurance...."

Compared to your show, Raybo, nothing is a test of endurance

Ray's never heard of an icy blast, and him married to Jenny for years.

Marriage to that lad must one hell of an exciting helter-skelter ride for Jenny

Like I keep saying , only subject that lad is ‘comfortable’ with is music.

The AI bot Ray is talking to is not in the least bit convincing. Starts slow, speeds up and finishes each sentence by asking for an opinion at the end of every sentence

If Ray is fooled by this, I would fear for him

So we can add numbers to things Ray doesn’t understand. Himself and Joe Duffy have that in common at least, to go with their bulging bank accounts.

I’ve been a regular listener since the pandemic times but in the past few months I feel like the quality has gone down. Most of the guests are on rotation and the real human interest pieces are few and far between. Anyone agree or disagree?

"Any news Ray" says Darcy after the 3 p.m. news read by Ray Kennedy. "That was a very short bulletin". Ironic coming from the man who "works" for one and a half hours a day.

He has a new quiz the 1234 quiz, or maybe it's the 234 it was so unmemorable I can't remember.

He said several times he may mess up with buttons as it was a new quiz, and to bear with him as anyone would do the same.

Brendan Courtney.

Hurry back, Ray.

Very true, but surely you're not suggesting that Ray possesses that skill?

His pre-quiz "banter" is always awkward , it's obvious the researchers have grilled the contestants before they get on air and constructed questions for Ray, one of which is invariably: "So, what are ye having for dinner tonight?"

Conor Pope just said "feic it" at 16:26 discussing a consumer query 😮

I passed the hotel on my way to pottery the other day says Ray.

Just when you thought he couldn't get any duller.

So I thought I'd post something positive about the Ray D'Arcy Show - well the one on a Friday
But I was kinda surprised to see that this thread was on the 2nd page of the Radio forum, so I thought "oh no one must be giving out about Ray these day…" Oh I was wrong!

So back to my reason for coming on here - I LOVE Reeling in the Ears, the 50 odd minute slot that does every Friday, playing music & reading stories & texts about things that happened in the year - like Reeling in the Years on the telly box

I checked out the website and although due to music rights, they can't podcast the slot, but you can listen back to it from the website (one or two of them won't work) - https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/ray-darcy-reeling-in-the-ears/?page=1
