He has a Degree in stating the bloody obvious, and is made out to be some sort of financial guru because of it.

aw thats a bit harsh.........some of his advice is good and at least its normal "adult" talk not baby talk and sniggering! Conor's not the worst on the show :pac:

crazygeryy

I'm in tears here in the kitchen. Poor rat

+1 for howard stern... Whatever your opinion is of him he's infinitely better than our DJs....try and tell Howard something is off limits!

Same here. The guys brilliant. Do you get the impression Ray's not too fond of him? He seems to deride a lot of what Conor has to say and he tends to speak over him a good bit.

I don't think so, that's just Darcy been himself.

Raymond doesn't like anyone that he knows is smarter than him.

whatever happen to Meave Higgins slot...a bit whacky but it at least something different....On Conor Pope, if Ray didn't like him then he wouldn't be on..

How many times is he going to giggle like a little girls at the baps?

I could not stand that one. That wackiness you mentioned seemed so contrived, as if she had to get into charachter before going on air.. Different strokes I suppose.

Email bag is just tortuous now. I honestly believe Arthur reads his lines for the first time on air. And how many times can people give out about Fair City? It's shít, we know it is, get over it.

Otherwise it's a great morning show, would ye rather be listening to D'Arcy or Pat Kenny?? Rays show is exciting, unpredictable & a good bit of craic.

most comedians are in character while on air!

I agree. I'd actually go as far as to say all of them get into charachter. But Meave just seemed too fake. Like there was a conscious decision to be as quirky and weird as possible. Perhaps I'm wrong and that's just how she is but she just didn't seem genuine to me.

She was not funny and every second word out of her mouth was the word "like", it used to drive me crazy.

Pat Kenny is professional, knows how to conduct an interview at is actually versed in the things he talks about. He might not be brilliant at the lighter stuff but he hosts a different type of program, one I only wish I could listen to at work

Whereas with D'arcy everything is about him, he's a lazy host, and his rantings on politics are akin to some of the more ludicrous posts in After Hours. He's certainly not predictable either, the shows format is so hopelessly telegraphed at this stage. You can nearly predict at what point he's going to let out a contrived sigh during the morning papers too

Jeebas...stop talking about that gobsheen, they might get her back on...about as funny as dog turd on your shoe..
I blame D'Arcy for her existence in the public eye..I recently read one of her IT articles, and I thought she couldn't get worse... :eek:

BTW crazygerry, did you also txt your post to the show..it was read out!

Right! Ha... I find Ray's a bit quick to diss anything that he considers too "new" or "modern" particularly when it comes to food he didn't grow up with.

Like the I phone, no no I won't have that , don't see the point in all that money on a phone, I'm happy with me owl Nokia 7200...fast forward two months he's singing the praises of the iPhone ,how he was out running and two American tourists asked for directions so he whipped out his iPhone and showed them, amazing device. He's a hypocrite and to be honest John Rambo I think it's time you stepped in and did some first blood type stuff on his ass!!

Would you ever consider charging D'Arcy rent? You could stand to make a fortune.

What do ya mean?

Ash.J.Williams

When Ray meets celebs he turns into the type of people that text his show....
"jaysus fassbender you're taller on the tellybox" etc

HooohRaaah

Cupid Kelly & Mairead being asked to help out single folk again.
Who in their right mind e-mails Dr. Raymond D'Arcy looking to get help in their love life.

Addle

So at meetings they have to tell him beforehand no anecdotes about his kids-take the hint Ray!

eisenberg1

I wonder will he suggest putting a fried egg on top of the crickets........

The little anecdote about Darcy and Fassbender was actually somewhat amusing. Even if he was at pains to mention how he introduced Jenny as his wife in case he got any ideas

No offense Ray, but I don't think your in any trouble of losing Jenny to a Hollywood A lister hung like a horse (see Shame)

bit of a generalisation there, assuming that its more likely boys that are curious about porn than girls - he said its "shocking" that its a girl looking at porn, and that its more boys that "gravitate towards it"

oh really??
