The Ray D'Arcy Show Thread - Mod note Post # 1 Updated

Mark 00

Is anybody getting tired of the Ray D'arcy show. well not so much the show but rather him and his moral highground. If i'm looking for an opinionated gobs**te, there are plenty of other shows. His show used to be just about havin a laugh and not takin things too seriously but in the last year or so he cant seem to talk about anything without giving a big opinionated spiel about whats right, (coz if its his opinion, then obviously it has to be right). Bring back the old days when he used to brighten up our mornings.

Mod Note:

There is no reason to discuss the presenters personal life here. This thread is to do with the Radio Show itself and not the private life of Ray D'Arcy. Anyone found to be dragging threads off topic will incur at least a ban for 24 hours

Mod Note 2:
What this thread is about; it's to talk about the show but if all people are willing to provide is a bucket of bile and a mob opinion of negativity I'd suggest that they are in the wrong place because this is not 4Chan...

To be fair credit where its due, he's moving this along well and its the best interview I've heard him do. Ray seems comfortable and for once he's not starstruck .

Credit lads, you are being fair when he is carrying out a good interview!

Really enjoying the interview also.

Enjoyed the interview with Glen Hansard, especially the little dig he had at Bono.

And he can sing, (Glen not Ray).

What was that? Was it about paying taxes in your home country?

CarrickMcJoe

Yes it was, he told how he was advised how to avoid paying taxes here but said that as he was born here,educated here, etc he would pay his taxes here.
Ray mentioned Bono and co.

He was going to go further only it was near 12 and he had to sing the show out.

jaysus... chips n deep fat fryers :rolleyes:

Didn't hear the show so can I ask what this is referring to? Doing chips in a Deep Fat Fryer seems pretty reasonable...

An interview that everyone seems to agree was good? :eek:

WHAT WITCHCRAFT IS THIS?

Will have to listen back to this!

nah, it was just the first couple of minutes of the interview he spent talking about chips and deep fat fryers after having a few pints... it was a bit cringeworthy, but at least it got better after that.

I think it was a successful interview because it was actually driven by glen and not ray... all the topics came from glen himself.... especially the tragic suicide episode. ray for once did the right thing and just shut up and let him talk.

Access

Anyone else think the show has a sponsorship deal with 50 shades of grey?

There is not a segment without that fecking book being referred to! - someone else previously mentioned it on here and i began noticing it.

First 15 mins this morning - he mentioned it twice! :mad:

shockwave

I think he has fantasies about tying up Jenny and doing bold things to her.:p

Neeson

Why, what did he say?

yes brilliant interview. not so much what ray did or said more so what Glen Hansard said and sang.

neris

For fcuk sake ray give it over about the kids. 1st hour on veg and straight after the news hes telling that kids shoudl get off school when its sunny. your are an insecure little bore darcy

Neeson

Get off school when it's sunny? That's daft talk. How could that happen? Darcy's a fool to be spreading nonsense like that.

He's a flamin' galah.

Did you hear him just now laughing at how "Of monsters and men" weren't in the best of form, and the interview wasn't up to much?! He said it was lost in translation. Blamed them basically.

"Of monsters and men" have been the band of the year so far, with their big song all over the radio for the past couple of months. Their Reading and Electric Picnic shows got incredibly good reviews. Exciting stuff.

Ray got them in yesterday. Two questions I remember were

"What is the Icelandic for goodmorning?"

"You are a fan of Damien Rice, aren't you?" - She answers yes. "O, the album O" Yes she says. and 9 she says. "Oh yeah" says Ray. "Oh, do you get it? The album O!! HA HA HA" He is met with silence.

He then says they were in bad form this morning?!

As it happens, Tony the tiger Fenton mentioned that the band stayed in the offices for more than an hour afterwards, and were great craic and chatted to everyone and gave CDs out like they were going out of fashion.

Bit of a contradiction to what Ray says .......

Somebody text him asking that - that's why he mentioned it.

He laughed it off saying they wont be putting it online because it was no good .... because the band were in bad form and the interview was lost in translation ....

All the goodwill towards Ray for his good interview with Glen Hansard the other day is gone I see

The fact that he prepared for it, did a good job, and got a good response from the guest makes it more annoying when he makes a bollocks out of every other interview by not preparing.

Why would there be "goodwill" towards a crap interview? (I use the word loosely)

Did I hear that right? A ventriloquist on the radio?

Surely he will just interview the guy about his career. Surely he wont ask him to do ventriloquism on the radio .... will he?!

Yes, I has to google ventriloquism to get the spelling.

Mr.Crinklewood

Stop - Stop - Eject - Eject - Eject - Play.

We should gave a competition to guess how many times he messes up.

Or is this him having foreplay ?

I actually really enjoyed that. At the very least, it wasn't the same old comedians as usual.
