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...

Raymond down 12,000. The decline continues due to yet more people leaving the country.

Any word on how Ray did in the JNLR?
Last time he blamed the decrease on emigration. If hia listenership somehow increases then there must be plenty of people returning to the country

Nope he's down another twelve thousand listeners, eight thousand of that is down to emigration with the remaining four succumbing to heart disease and other various illness as a result of not following Rays strict health regime.

Probably because they listened to Ray...

Ray is actually UP 5,000 listeners since the last book which was in January. Now, I'm a believer that year-on-year is what counts, but the upward trend should be noted here.

Year on year he's down 12,000, but given that he's now back on the good side of 220k and going up book on book, I'd urge anyone who thinks this is a sign of any major decline to relax a bit.

How just how in God's name is that possible with his listenership being up year on year? The show is truly awful

Down year-on-year, up book-on-book. There's a big difference.

Being down year-on-year is a better indication of the overall trend, but being up book-on-book suggests it might be turning around. Or that his figures last year were at an abnormal high due to poor alternatives.

Can anyone tell me the name of the American tattoo artist he had on yesterday? Just caught the end of it.

So who's going to text in about dancing with their 3 month old ???

Feckit but he's getting some mileage out of the mistake the six one news reporter made last night. It's starting to seem a bit mean to be honest. I suppose he IS without sin:rolleyes::pac:

Do ya know I was thinking the same, for a man who is basically the Homer Simpson of Irish radio he has a bit of cheek laying the boot into them for a relatively small mistake.

I thought there was a meanness about it, i think he has an element of a bully boy about him at times

Pretty obvious pathetic attempt at retribution for the brilliant Callan's kicks sketch of him on RTE

Did they say any more about it during the week.

What was the mistake on the news?

this 'I saw a hot girl and i want to find her cos I'm desperate ' bit is really annoying...it's almost a weekly occurrence!!!

So far in my sitting room I've danced to every single one of the songs Ray played this morning with my 3 year old.

We're having great fun here while my accountant wife and mother to my child is working hard out in office.

When the show is over both myself and my child are going to go out into the kitchen and blend 7 carrots, 2 heads of broccoli and a turnip, drink them down and go do an 8k run.

We're the perfect family, being honest with you.

Well ye would be if your wife cycled to work instead of hopping into her SUV:D

He just read out a text there ( related to the should/should not have kids topic).

"Kids are for life, not just for Xmas"

He actually read that out..................

PIORUN

i'd want to get the box off my head because I haven't a clue what he is talking about in regards to this play....IT IS JUST YOU RAY!!!

Why the feck did he read the reviews out to the Rea and Murphy. Did they not say repeatedly that they did not like to read the reviews of their theatre work? Jaysus, he really didn't learn anything from that spoilers thing…

It was a horribly awkward interview. Even Will got involved with the awkwardness with his stupid sex comment.

Show has lost its fun factor, he does sound tired and tends to rant too much but the alternatives at that time of day are worse, biggest gripe is the music he plays inbetween, its mostly kack.

PIORUN

I only turned him on today at 11:30 and had to turn off again after only a few mins into this interview...terrible terrible stuff....Bill Burr Monday morning Podcast, Adam Carrolla Show and Second Captains every Tuesday and Thursday, far better alternatives!
