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

Splinter

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...

This morning, the Doc was on discussing premature ejaculation...serious stuff. reading aloud one of the letter, where the guy says something like "I was coming to the conclusion.." or " when I cam to my girlfriends.." Ray, with ref to the letter, say "there is a lot of come in there", a comment the doc ingnored. Will that be in the podcast??

He is always like that, it was the same with the day they were discussing testicular cancer just another excuse for Ray to make immature jokes. He should not be allowed do interviews of this nature.

Also when he reads the paper in the morning its always "Jaysus lads we are fecked no way out of this mess, government useless we need leadership etc etc etc" yet as soon as a tax or a cut is mentioned he starts going on" Jaysus lads will ya look at how far from reality the government is, we cant afford anymore cuts".

Does he expect the government to just wave a wand and decrease the deficit while throwing fifty billion into mental health while they are at it.

He is a complete parody of himself and I really think he sees himself as a political powerhouse that strikes the fear of Vincent Browne into politicians !!

Ray, leave the economic policy and current events to the experts and stick to what you are good at, that being an Irish Cilla Black.

Jason Todd

What's worse is, he admonishes Will or Mairead or even a text that's sent in for making a smutty joke, yet he's at it himself the whole time!!! Total double-standards. :rolleyes:

eisenberg1

jaysus, he is in top form today. while discussing Arthurs Mrphy's record, Will sez (jokingly) "was that back when the records were square?" and Ray sez "records were always round". Later on discussing Transvestites and trying to remember one of the names, Will sez " I think it was Patrick Fitzpatrick" and Ray, wise as always sez " That was his stage name". and its only 11.10!!!!

How is it that he hasn't gotten Will's sense of humour by now.

Yes - It's 'says', not 'sez'

eisenberg1

Synode, thanks for that, I did not realise. I am surprised you did not pick up on incorrect spelling of Jesus! I guess some of us on these boards have a bit more time on hands than others, but if you are going to start correcting spellings, you really need to get out more. I can assure you, If and when I require lessons in spellings, grammar etc, I will not be seeking it on Boards.ie. I consider these things light hearted banter among like minded people...............no need to be so anal!!

It's text speak, which is generally frowned upon on Boards.

I'm not back seat modding, you said you didn't understand. I was just explaining it to you. If you've got a problem with my explanation you know where the report button is.

I see Mairead is claiming the Ballymun team in the All Ireland Final on sunday is the same team she had for Celebrity Bainesteoir a couple of years ago, she actually was involved with their second team she had nothing to do with the team on sunday. Pedantic I know but I had to get it off my chest

Ah right thought it was some achievement alright considering they were only junior/intermediate at the time

Everyone. It's generally considered poor manners, as well as being hard to read.

It must be last November or so since I last tuned into his show. I was getting sick of it. I actually left Today FM as couldn't stand Ray Foley either and only found out recently he'd left Today FM!

Sounds similar to me

Ray corrected his last guest on what we say for mall, Autumn and how we pronounce vitimin. He really is so irritating.

Stepping Stone

Just turned on the radio for KC. Who or what was that screeching at the end of the show? Maybe I am just getting old but that sounded brutal to me. :-\

eisenberg1

I was not using text speak....I simply used "sez" in lieu of "says" , as in"sez you aul was to my aul wan" type of thing.....its not exactly of mile of smiley faces. apologies if it upset you.

Ya, I was delighted that Foley was on such a long holiday

. Never listened to KC on Red FM in Cork but I must say it's a so uplifting not having Foley's smug w@nker voice in the middle of the day. The KC show is actually funny aswell.

Laughed at that too, surely someone is taking the mick ? Maybe all these huge dudes are sitting around the roadsides crying as a result of a side affect of steroid abuse. Funny nonetheless
