    I think hes probably been told to ham up the laughing so they can use the clip in a promo later? To trick unsuspecting people who didnt hear it live into thinking the show must be a bit of craic.

    Very short term plan as after a few mins listening theyl realise there are no (intentional) laughs and a college 1st year radio show would be better.

    Ah here, as someone who was one of the mentioned and did some radio production/presenting, quiet frankly that's insulting being compared to Ray.

    My apologies, I can definitely see how a comparison with Ray would dent anyones confidence, I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

    He was actually once mentioned as an example as how not to be a radio presenter, his infamy precedes him.

    Ray: We'll be talking to John Redmond about the music that shat, er, sacheed, through his life.

    So, Dancing with the stars, a conductor for the Oscars, porridge, rhyming couplets and getting his buttons wrong.

    And radio goes off.

    I heard the “shat” comment, and having listened on and off whilst hanging a few pictures, I have to say he should have stuck with “shat”, as it’s likely to be more accurate.

    Totally out of his depth.... like poor John on Sport.Listen to MI and the ‘interview’ with Anthony Daly.

    How long will it take for Montrose to figure out that these guys are not broadcasters.

    Ah here, I think John is completely mis-suited to sport also, but this morning's interview Daly was a disaster because of the technology. There was a bad line and a delay, John Murray would ask a question and then Daly would answer the previous question sort of like the Two Ronnies sketch. :pac:

    The only mistake that John made was persisting with it for so long. When the line first broke down they should have just moved on.

    Yes, I understand that, it was the technology, but John should have terminated the interview way way before the thing finally broke down.

    This is the thing, John seems to read every thing of a script sheet and when things get ‘off road’ gets lost.

    An experienced broadcaster should have handled the breakdown much more smoothly.

    The biggest joke is what that incompetent waffler trousers and unfortunately the jokes on us. He must look in the mirror every morning and say "can't believe I haven't been found out yet"

    Hadn't that man Tyson Steele suffered enough, stranded and alone in the cold in Alaska, without having to be interviewed by Ray?

    Why don't they post a picture of themselves without filters and without make up if they really don't want to present the world with an unnatural representation of themselves.

    What's the difference between using a filter on Instagram and using make up in real life?

    5 years on air today. Five.

    Since he returned he's been getting progressively worse; with Today FM he had to work; they chop & change like the wind and in fairness when I listened to him in the 00s I liked his 3 hour slot I was a fan.

    1.5 hours (less in reality with Ads and News & well, Nuacht & Sport) is a bit like let's just get through this.

    2FM should've been where he was put; Gerry Ryan's 3 hour slot has never been filled properly; he'd've been a good fit & stabilised ad revenue there.

    Pocketed close to €2.5million of taxpayers money in this time.

    And still cant press the right button.

    Do not forget that.
