Aw hell, I still enjoy all the messing

Feedback is pure comedy gold! Thee funniest radio feature in Ireland.0 -

I was going to start a thread about this today but then realised chances are there was going to be one already.
I mean really, who finds this idiot amusing?
It's the most base and purile conversation and topics, complete mindless jabber from all three of them, I spend most of my time in working giving the radio the finger (subtly).
I really think a monkey with a button full of sounds effects in front of it would be more skilled.
He and them are a waste of space.
I find him amusing. And the show has genuinely funny features which you seem to have glossed over here. The gauntlet, Feedback, DJ J-OH, etc, etc.
As for it being basic topics, I hate have to be the one to point this out to you, BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SHOW!!! "The Ray Foley Show, Just a bit Of Fun for Your Lunchtime, Nothing Too Serious"
If you want serious topics, I suggest Newstalk, Radio 1, the last hour of Colm Hayes.
Podcast was good today, funny the way they were trying not to swear for the dear little kiddies who might become murderers if they hear the word ****. 0 -

Hey i resent that! I love base humour, when it's smart, his is just childish and really his whole show is totally condescending, I find it an insult that this is marketed as a popular show. There really is much smarter, funnier and more imaginative stuff out there, if this is the comedy highlight of your day I really feel sorry for you :P0 -

Hey, what can I say? My day sucks. :P (It's funny 'cos it's true....
)
No, in seriousness, there are no doubt smarter shows out there. But, if we compare the shows on the main National stations at that time:
Radio 1:
12:00-1:00 Ronan Collins - (Never heard so can't say whether this is a viable alternative, but I highly doubt it from what I know of him)
1:00-1:45 News at One - CA and politics
1:45-3:00 Liveline - Er....I'm not touching this one 'cos I can't be polite about Joe Duffy.....
2FM:
11:00-1:00 Colm Hayes - Very talk heavy show, deals with Gerry Ryan-esque issues.
1:00-2:00 Larry Gogan - Not exactly "down wid da kidz" to be fair. IMO not really viable alternative.
2:00-4:30 Rick O'Shea - Not a bad alternative I suppose, though I enjoyed his show more when he was doing the 2:30-5:00 slot.
Newstalk:
12:00-1:30 Lunchtime - CA and politics
1:30-4:30 Sean Moncrieffe - A presenter I enjoy immensely, and a real alternative if Foley is doing a piece you don't like (Eg. A ****e interview with Jedward) and he does cover interesting topics and has good guests, but doesn't play music and can lean slightly to politics at times.
This is a long winded way of saying that Foley is, in my opinion, the best option at that time if you want something that you don't have to be listening fully to, concentrating on, or that takes itself too seriously. Now, while it's not enough to say "Oh he's the best of the worst so we should put up with it", I enjoy his show so it's not a hardship to listen.
His show really is divisive though...those that like it, like, those that don't like it, HATE it. And there seems to be no convincing either side they're wrong.0 -

You've got that right
Personally I find Joe Duffy inadvertently spews more comedy gold than anything else0 -

Hahaha I'd forgotten that JP used to make up ****e about the person's hometown before the quiz!!longhalloween wrote: »Does anyone have a link to the mash up he did this morning at about 10 past 12?
There probably isn't any, Foley does them himself the morning of the show I think so it's probably not online.ontheditch2 wrote: »I used to love the blast, listening to him on the way up to college in sligo from 10-12 on a sunday night, and try to listen to him everyday when i can. The only other show on the radio that i try to listen to is Newstalk Off The Ball.
I love Foley and JP, the skits they sometimes do are classic. Feedback, Radio Jayo, Ah Ya OK was a classic game, Yesterday FM(was that what it was called), always remember the skit that led up to the song "Walking on Broken glass", golden radio..
The Blast was an epic show. The Bitch's Box of ****e, ahhh lads the sountrack to my Primary xchool days
Yesterday FM was good, but I started to get really sick of Ah-Yeah-OK before they phased it out.0 -
