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...

So Ray doesn't like Garth Brooks. That was unexpected to me.

Ray has just gone up a little bit in my estimation.

Thats now wait till closer to July and we will see a change in him

Rough going for that poor woman, Ray handled it well. Hope he doesn't fill the texts section with "bawling my eyes out here texts "

Very emotional interview, poor woman.

Magic stuff with Dustin there.

Rays in heaven talking about births. I think ray wants to be the 1st man in Ireland to give birth. Tthis first one sounds like a right nut job. Flower power, peace man and all that weird stuff

R.F.

I think this is the worst segment i have ever heard on radio.

Before people say "why listen" it is on in work, it is the neutral station so I cannot change it.

Getting off on giving birth is not right. And ray sounds like he is loving it.

I can think of more choice words to describe her. That accent is grating, and the second husbands name is 'shaggy'? First husband got off lightly there id say.

Thats the problem he is getting off on it. Births, babies and kids makes his day.

I turned off during the 1st Hippy. Disturbing she had an 11yo involved as a key person in the 2nd birth and just weird that they made practice runs at it to

She had no time for music but plenty of time to get the sheep skin rugs on the ground and candles all around the room. I feel sorry for the kids.

Yea and if something went wrong with the birth she would be blaming everyone but herself and her sheep skin effin rugs.

I missed the segment, when you "involved" like was the kid cutting the cord? And superdad Ray was OK with that?

I might try catch the podcast

Sweet god, this went way beyond a kid cutting the chord... and I mean WAY beyond. It was the strangest recount of a birth I've ever heard, and she didn't hold back either! Do listen to it, if nothing else your stomach can churn like the rest of us!

Keep a sick bag handy... you have been warned, which is more then we got!

FunLover18

Maybe it was because I had warning but I didn't find it that bad. I do feel slightly sorry for little Nathan.

The most shocking moment for me was when on being offered the video of the home birth Ray said "I don't think I want to see somebody else's baby being born" :eek:

Doesn't he want to be the first person to broadcast a live birth? "I want to hear it and broadcast it across the nation, but I don't want to see it"

Ignorance of some of the listeners though "They're wrong, birth is not orgasmic, I was in agony" Jesus, do they actually think it's the same for everyone or that that's what they were saying?

FunLover18

Ray said vagina!

Swiper the fox

I thought the graphic designer who wrote a long E-Mail this morning made some valid points which Ray dismissed by saying his tongue was in his cheek with that whole segment. I could reproduce the Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Apple etc logo myself with a crayon and some paper, wouldn't even need to purchase any fancy fonts, perhaps the Mail was slightly over the top but I think the guy deserved a modicum of contrition from Ray in either case, I don't think he'd take it lying down if someone with no experience suggested they could do his job as well.

To be fair he did apologise, he said at the end of reading it out, "if I offended anyone I am sorry".

I couldn't take the woman who kept calling her husband "Shaggy" seriously. :pac:

Heckler

darcy show is turning into a misery slot. Every second item is about cancer or motor neuron disease or some such. Then 20 texts about people bawling their eyes out. He thrives on this ****. and kids, that birth thing yeaterday jesus. Shaggy....ffs

neris

He must be compiling an audition tape of misery to send to rte when joe duffy packs it in on liveline

The survivalist guy was actually quite interesting and normal, then he dropped the bomb "your kids will never eat fish that's a fact" it's not a fact they could have square cod and chips now if they liked. He even stunned Ray to momentary silence with hi Fukashima ramblings!

Agree fully, he was being slightly sensationalist and after the fish comment I didn't take anything else he said seriously

Im sorry for your man with the M.S but he is an insufferable attention seeking fool and as he rightly described himself a media whore. Somthing about failed wanabe musicians/tv stars etc where they have to be constantly seeking media attention, nearly like their missing some sort of love in their in life and they think the media gives them that love and affection

I have to agree but I actually laughed out loud reading your comment, it's almost like this guy was the straw that broke the camels back for you, then you explode like mount Etna in a furious anger :-) he was actually begging for a job in media on air. If he was so desperate for work he'd be non specific and prepared to do anything!
