Jesus Jenny for the love of god stop him!!!

ThisRegard · 02-02-2015 4:08pm

At least someone is fascinated Ray, on how the basics of shop keeping and getting your change back works.

Claude Burgundy · 02-02-2015 4:08pm

So after 105 meetings this is the best you can come up with.......

Yakuza · 02-02-2015 4:09pm

He's on the air 5 minutes and he's already giving out...

You think he literally just walked into that studio, right now ?

I'm not Rays biggest fan but Jesus Christ it's like everyone here is only hoping he f**ks up. First LIVE transmission from this studio then. Give him a little slack, a week, two weeks then you can use your best keyboard warrior skills.

ThisRegard · 02-02-2015 4:09pm

Ah c'mon, really, is this for real and not a spoof ?

sudzs · 02-02-2015 4:09pm

Oh cringe....

Typer Monkey · 02-02-2015 4:10pm

Good lord. He's had a whole month to prepare and his opening monologue is about soup and cents?? Two equipment use failures in the first 5 minutes too. As Ray himself would say 'sigh'

crazygeryy · 02-02-2015 4:10pm

Oh my god it doesn't Matter what station hes on! He cannot work the effin equipment

Frog Song · 02-02-2015 4:10pm

Wtf?!! My 2 cents is this is the worst start imaginable! I tuned in for a nose....I'll be on my way back over to Moncrief again!

snubbleste · 02-02-2015 4:10pm

How much are we the licence payers forking out for him again?

Claude Burgundy · 02-02-2015 4:10pm

Is the song for Mairead ?

randy hickey · 02-02-2015 4:10pm

Ah give the poor chap a break - he's only a young lad starting out - first day on the job...........

Yakuza · 02-02-2015 4:10pm

I still prefer this to Mooney! Good song to open on.

lucylu · 02-02-2015 4:10pm

Ah Jaysus you had 4 weeks to be at least trained on how to use the equipment.
Scarla for yea

ThisRegard · 02-02-2015 4:11pm

Luke is not a fan

€500 k + and you think he needs a break. This is his job, he's been doing it all his life.

case885 · 02-02-2015 4:12pm

Absolutely terrible, what were RTE thinking getting him on?

So today is the first second time he's cocked up on radio ? The guy has form, he would have been walked through the console and studio numerous times.

eviltwin · 02-02-2015 4:13pm

Wtf was that boring opening monologue? Step it up Ray.

Odyssey 2005 · 02-02-2015 4:13pm

AGAIN!!!

NormanNicetouch · 02-02-2015 4:13pm

Imagine if the soup had been a euro. He's have been lost for a cracker of an anecdote to kick off with.

troched · 02-02-2015 4:13pm

10 minutes in and talking about... 1 cent and 2 cent coins. How riveting.

Miscuing the first song too, he's beyond parody at this stage.

Walked through? Black boards grinds and tutorials more like it.

somesoldiers · 02-02-2015 4:14pm

4 million people are not looking at you Gay

Honey Monster · 02-02-2015 4:15pm

I'm just saying it doesn't matter what sort of equipment it is, be it a cash register that your used to and you go to another job where you use a different cash register there's gonna be cock ups.

lucylu · 02-02-2015 4:15pm

Anyone know what Brenda will do now?

And after having used said equipment after over 15 years you think he'd know it by now.

Woodville56 · 02-02-2015 4:19pm

The fawning over Stephen Fry continues ! Who cares ? Switching over to Lyric !

I'm sure it's different equipment. Have you ever been in a radio studio? They're not all the same you know.

He's been in since 5th Jan, he should be well able to use it by now

BaZmO* · 02-02-2015 4:22pm

LOL. Third missed cue.

funny thing is i heard Gay on a local Cork radio station this morning on the same topic and even though that host asked different question's Gay gave him those exact same answers he just gave Ray, word for word!

Yes quite a few actually and the software used in most is the same with most music/packages etc all pre loaded and ready to go.

A mixer is a mixer, its fader up and fader down..................

This guy used the same one in Today Fm for years and still couldn't use it when he finished. Sorry but if you're on that level of pay you can at least spend some of those 105 meetings learning to use the basic equipment.

Foggy Jew · 02-02-2015 4:25pm

This isn't Ray Darcy. It's Oliver Callan, doing a big p*ss-take. It must be.

Nody · 02-02-2015 4:27pm

//MOD

I've just banned three people for trying to be funny with a "Hi Presenter" post; next one will have a week to ponder how funny their post really was...

baldbear · 02-02-2015 4:29pm

Ray is from Kildare? Jaysus you learn something new every day.

Honey Monster · 02-02-2015 4:32pm

As I said I'm not Rays biggest fan myself, I find I either have to be in the mood to listen to him or I'll turn him off after a few minutes. First day in a new job, new equipment, nerves, huge expectations...if he's still messing up after a few weeks, sure criticise then. And yes I've been in a few radio stations myself and no it's not as simple as "shur they all use the same software" and "it's just a fader"...

None of the things you listed can be used as an excuse for starting his first broadcast with a depressing sigh and a godawful monologue about copper coins. Christ almighty. I thought I missed Ray from my radio, I tuned in and tuned back out after 15 mins. Too much same old, same old.

Claude Burgundy · 02-02-2015 4:44pm

And once again he pressed the button but didn't have the fader up:rolleyes:

My 5 year old could run a desk better ( sorry for mentioning the word run )

No offence intended. But maybe don't listen?

I hope Dr Pixie has tagged along too. I'll be sure to text in and say I have worms just to hear her remedy about the sticking plaster again

gimmick · 02-02-2015 4:47pm

Even if the equipment is different a professional would have himself acquainted with it to prevent dead air.

Odyssey 2005 · 02-02-2015 4:48pm

I'd say Moncrief doesn't know what to do with all his new listeners.
