    Tonys playin Don't Stop Believin for the lads.

    Foley really had that song going for weeks until they showed the final episode of the Sopranos over here and then the penny dropped. Class act.

    12pm to 2:30pm was just so perfect for them. I really hope they can transfer across to morning radio.

    Well I'd have said the same thing about them when they left The Blast, there'll be teething problems with the Brekkie slot, but they've been compared to Chris Moyles so much that I think they've a real shot at making a great show to challenge Dempsey.

    Fair play to Tony for letting them go over time, nice gesture from someone who's show is generally timed to a tee.

    Jesus they're not dead!!! They've moved to what they feel are better jobs.

    Ah I know, and I'm happy for them, but it's just sad to know that I won't be able to hear them live anymore. They've been part of my routine for seven or more years at this stage, so I'm gonna miss them.

    That last half hour was, by far, one of the best pieces of radio I have ever listened to. I was driving and had to pull into a car park just so I could listen properly!

    I'll be raising a glass to the lads tonight.

    I'll also be raising a glass to the "new king" as Foley put it, KC!

    Used to be a massive fan of the show, but over the last year I think it got very stale. Stopped listening regularly about six months ago. Stopped completely after his tattoo 'skit' last month, which was the most anti climatic piece of radio in history!!

    Surprised you didn't like the tattoo bit tbh. Personally I thought it was great to listen to.

    But different strokes and all that I suppose. :)

    It was great until the ending. Then it ended up being a personal joke with his wife.

    Got there just ahead of me Pacly. A nice note to write I feel, thought the ending wasn't great, he didn't leave himself enough time to say all his thank you's besides what he did on air.

    Thank you Mr. Foley, I listened as regularly as I could. Helped me through many an assignment in college, in the car on the way to/from the gym, at home when bored and other times when I had a moment to tune in. Some of the memories are fantastic. I wish you the best on your new ventures and will try to listen in as often as I can but the new earlier time might be a little harder!
    Anyway, best of luck and hopefully it's not the last we hear of you on Today FM
    :)

    For me, I think "Don't forget the ham mam" will go down as my favourite moment ever. I've never laughed so hard and for so long at anything on the radio

    Heard the last ten minutes of the show live and I'm listening back now and have just read the post on the blog. I laughed through it I have to say.

    I don't know, there's three main funny bits that stand out for me over the past few years:
    • The aftershave gauntlet where JP used the immortal line: "Smell my manhOOOOOOD!" and had Ray unable to talk for the rest of the link.
    • Another Gauntlet where JP covered carly Ray Jepsen. "Hey! I'm still single, girls won't daaaaaaaaate me!". That was excellent!
    • Back in 2011 Ray came back from holiday and was telling JP about how the plane was delayed because they were waiting for steps at the front of the plane. Ray then went onto a Steps remix and comeback tour bit. Again, I was in ribbons laughing

    Here's hoping they repeat the same level of stuff on the morning show!

    I mentioned that a few pages ago, it was indeed brilliant. Wish it was possible to get all their podcasts from the beginning through iTunes.

    Another great Gauntlet was their Eurovision songs. Those should be released as singles!

    That was a great way too sign off with that blog...Very humble.I think the biggest thing about Foley that people dont get is ITS AN ACT! Hes not that big headed,He did BEG for votes and YES most segments are stolen from one radio station too another BUT thats life..Ideas and gimmicks are allways copyied/borrowed/stolen!

    Posted this on FB earlier:
    The last half hour was just epic...

    "Ah someone's been dicking around with the voice box again!"
    "****e, can't find the interview clip!"
    GAAAAAAAP
    "Ah feck the song isn't on the system."
    "Tony, sorry we'll be going to you late!"

    Just utter chaos and feckin' hilarious.
    And the choice of song was brilliant, and fair play to T-Bone for being a good sport and letting ye run on, and for playing Journey.

    I met Foley and JP a few times at the blizzards & The Hoosiers Live Lunches. Both days were class. Two lads were sound as was Ann and Adele!

    My favourite time though was the Galway Lazy Radio tour in CP's... A mate of mine was walking past CP's that night when Foley and the lads were coming out. (He was drunk and is usually a fine upstanding lad) but as I said he was drunk. Anyway as we were walking passed he clocked Ray and when he got about 50 metres down the road he turned around and roared "hey Foley you're only a c**t"
    Anyway the next day Foley came on and told the story about him but change the C word to carrots! Fair funny watching the realisation dawn on my friends face!

    Love it. :)

    Think I have that on podcast somewhere, so it'll go up in higher quality form at some stage in the not too distant future.

    Typical D'Arcy, if it's not about him, he's not interested. I'm not a fan!

    Foley & JP on the other hand I will miss.

    I'm wondering will JP get equal billing on the new show?
