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...

Wonder what McSavage said to him a few years ago that Darcy brought up

From todays interaction between them, it seems that McSavage suggested that Ray thought he was more intelligent than he actually is.

McSavage also slagged off Mumford and Sons. He might has well have slagged off Ray's actual son;)

Which is quite a fair assessment. What time was it on?

Ah Jaysus, the one day I did not have too listen to it!! I will have to listen to it now........

The Mumford and Sons deconstruction was fairly class alright

I have never posted on this forum but dear Lord, that was horrendous. I feel like crawling under my desk and hiding from the interview.

heyheyhey1982

I didn't listen to it but I know I'll hate it. Can't believe when he was on the den how I thought he was great.

Synode

He's always especially bad with McSavage. Clearly because he doesn't like him

Most uncomfortable interview of the year currently underway with David McSavage.

Any chance of a podcast of the McSavage interview? Missed it:mad:
Checked on Today FM website and the Chipper attack woman and agony aunt seem to be the only interviews?

He said something about their website being updated so podcasts wont work on it, try itunes.

It was the most painful interview since Reginald D Hunter, the way he brought up that McSavage said something about him a few years ago was really petty.

No its there, just go to the "listen back" (11th ) section and click on part 3 of the show and its roughly near the end somewhere from about 30 mins on.

today fm posted a picture on facebook with nidge with ian dempsey.
this comment made me laugh, clearly a ray darcy listener.

I found it hard to believe it was Nidge. Missing the accent... Tom sounds so different from the character. Can't wait for new series...

Really enjoying Ray today.The light hearted banter with the girl from Cork was like a flash back too when he used not take himself too serious!

mr bungle.

Iwish he would call a halt to his anti smoking crusade,he has been on about it for a few weeks now,I don't smoke in work but I feel like having smoke or ten when I hear ray constantly banging on about them !

So he should ease his crusade against smoking to ease your cravings...??

what a weird association.

i listened to it yesterday...it was part 3 at the end.

Ray doesn't do himself any favours when he's out of his depth. He seems aware of the stupid things he says and instead of correcting himself he turns on his interviewee and makes himself look like a bigger tool.

pookiesboo

Listened to David McSavage interview there, beyond cringe. "Jesus David would you relax, its just a question". "Do you see a therapist David?" "And you got rid of your dog David?"

Teeth clenching

Might seem weird to you,but it wouldn't seem weird to someone who is trying not to think about smoking,especially when ray is going on and on about it,to me that is a direct association

Ha. That's twice he's pressed the wrong button this morning and ended up playing the intro to a Robbie Williams song by mistake. Not even on the air for an hour yet!

Liking the interview with Mick Wallace though.

agree with all this.
i was just coming on to write that i enjoy this interview. proper questions and no stupid questions or jokes. no laughing to himself.

one thing i dont like is him reading out texts from nobodys saying that its crazy that his mobile could be hacked.
mick said he was warned about his mobile being hacked.
someone texted in saying thats crazy/stupid.
who knows better, mick or some 6ft 5'' guy crying in the kitchen, waiting for robbie williams to come on to dance around the kitchen.

credit where its due. well done ray, dont mess it up after the news!!!!!

That reminds of the time Channel 4 did Live Ecstasy Drug Trial on TV last year. Jonathan Ross's tweet "Interrupting an expert talking about MDMA to find out what's being said on Twitter sums up how hopeless tv is becoming. #drugslive"

For some reason the media think that Joe Public's (often uneducated) views on a topic are more important than the people that know what they're talking about.

i thought the guy texted to say it's "not" crazy to think the phone could be tapped? As Ray seemed to be the one thinking it was nuts...(it has actually happened here before)

I agree, there is an obsession with texts and tweets from people who rarely have anything to add to a topic.

Also heard the McSavage interview. Awful interview.

It comes back to the same problem all the time. He just doesn't prepare in any way. He actually said in that interview before one question "I was just thinking there on the way back from the toilet ... " , and I'd say that's true, he dreams up a couple of questions just beforehand and the rest is just a random conversation, it's very uninteresting to listen to.

McSavage picked up on the mention of Brendan Gleeson and asked something like "oh you had Brendan Gleeson in, what was he like"

Ray replies "it was just like a game of Where's Brendan "

"what do you mean" sez McSavage

"Well it just turns in to loads of people texting in saying oh I saw Brendan in the chippers, oh I saw Brendan in the filling station last week "

Well Ray, maybe try ignoring the texts and actually interview the man!

Thanks Jimmy for that:o

T'was a cringey interview alright but then McSavage is not exactly the easiest to interview. Mairead giggling nervously in the background too. McSavage is so brilliant and quick off the mark that the very thought of trying to even chat to him would scare the bejasus out of most people. Every word is analysed by him. Love him though, such a genius.

Itssoeasy

Ray is out of the studio ?

Itssoeasy

Alright he is and in Dundrum as yesterday fm have an other studio.

Michael Weston

Sounded like Alan partridge there saying "I dunno where Olivia is, she's on a phone and I can't hear her " as Olivia kept clearly saying hello hello hello. He needs to bite the bullet and get some training in the use of the studio equipment
