    What exactly are they meant to do... I still dont understand, their contributions are so infrequent that you could get the milkman to fill in for them when they are on holidays... And I dont get the whole Will Leahy in-joke.. I dont find him quirky, I dont find him interesting, and I dont find him funny.. but I get the feeling that I'm somehow meant to..

    You could get a milkman to step in for the 3 of them full stop and it would be an improvement.

    Sorry, do you think that Will and Jenny are employed to be co-presenters, ie: they are paid for their on-air contributions?
    I haven't come across this Will Leahy in-joke, what is the jist of it? Or are you talking about Will Hannifan from the D'arcy show, either way what is the in joke??

    tbh, I'm a bit confused... I never used to listen to D'Arcy on TodayFM, but his show is sort of forced on me now where I work... I thought Will was the guy that was a bit nerdish but everybody thought was hilarious?

    I guess my real confusion is to what it was about the previous show that would have encouraged RTE to spend over half a million to bring them to the station.. Cos I just dont see it..

    Thought mooney was bad but Darcy is actually way worse. Have to turn him off, not taking to his show or style of broadcasting at all.

    Those first few minutes of him going through the stories of the gossip columns has to be done away with. Reading through the stories in that stupid mock bog accent of his... It's like it's his first time in front of the mic and he doesnt know what to say...
    Himself and John Mooney clearly went to the same school of radio-show intros.

    Or not.

    That John Mooney fella.. :pac:
    Yeah, as I heard D'Arcy stumbling through the awkward monologue at the beginning of the show, it certainly had that "first time presenting a radio show ever" feel to it, similar to John Murray's show..

    I enjoyed Rays sneering at the 'zoolanderesqe' male model quote from yesterday's Sunday Times...

    Wonder was it trending elsewhere or was it spotlighted by Ray?

    Not a chance. It's been all over the web since, including the Zoolander references.
