Ray Foley

Nowadays, insurance costs mean teens are struggling to get summer jobs but back in day it was the Wild West. Friend of the show Annette Freeman joins us in studio with memories of chopping up chickens, picking strawberries and changing bedsheets in Mosney!

Getting Lost. The Louth football team got lost at the weekend and ended up in Sligo instead of Ballybofey. We're all directionally challenged it seems.

Listener Email Hey guys, we’ve a wannabe influencer in the family. My 22 year old daughter is joined at the hip with her phone. We can’t go anywhere without her taking videos and selfies. For example, if we go out to dinner, she’ll spend most of the time noisily editing posts on her phone, getting background music and captions and graphics, instead of actually being present at dinner and enjoying time with her family. She’ll consider the dinner a success if she gets lots of engagement and likes, not whether she’s had fun with her brother and mam and dad. On the one hand, this is clearly her passion but to me, it seems like a fake, meaningless thing to devote so much time and energy to. Tell Me I’m Wrong……

What's it like to sell a lotto ticket worth 250 million? Ray and JP spoke to Simon Champ from Clifford's Centra in Cork who has been making headlines this week after they sold the lifechanging ticket.

Turns out if your name isn't Pat Balfe or Charlie - Ray doesn't know you. For a man who works in audio - this didn't go his way, but Ray gets an A for effort anyway!

Listener email: My boyfriend doesn’t invite me to hang out with his guy friends when they go out. These are the fellas he’s known since his schooldays. He says his mates’ wives don’t come along either, but we’re not married and their wives have already met all the lads many times before at weddings and other social get togethers when they were younger. I’m missing out on a big part of who he is. These friends have shaped his personality and my only experience of them is when he reads out the occasional funny message from their whatsapp group. I’m well able to take part in slagging and have the craic so I think I’d get along with them fine. He doesn’t seem overly bothered about hanging around with my friends but at least he has met them a few times at my insistence. I feel like for a relationship to be successful we need to share all aspects of our lives. Tell Me I’m Wrong…….

A rude driver cut Ray off. He was not fine about it! But can the listeners guess which brand of car they were driving? Yes, yes they bloody well can.

Our new baby borrowing app is still in the beta phase. What should we call it? Ciara King chips in.

We ask the big questions on The Ray Foley Show and we've stumbled onto one of the biggest we can remember from recent times. If you're being really honest with yourself you know it's true, a cuppa in work just doesn't slap. Plus Annette dropped in and clarified how much she'll be giving us if she wins the Euromillions.

We're sorry to do this to you we really are, but JP was walking past a school in Harold's Cross in Dublin when something caught his eye. Big sheets of canvas were hung up along the wall and each one contained loads of wishes written by local kids. There were funny ones, silly ones and then there were a few that would just break your heart.

Ray called out Dara Quilty for mispronouncing a word in a video over the weekend (poor Dara!) Then your voice-notes rolled in and there were some GREAT ones in there.

We've all been that embarrassing person trying to speak the local language in other countries! Ray and JP are no exception!

What does 5G do and is it any different from 4g and 3g? Jess Kelly is in the studio with all the answers. But first she has to answer JP's VIP quiz!

A mystery bird sound recorded in Ray's neighbourhood sparked some sleuthing across the nation! And who knew JP was half woodpecker?!

How to get the kids and the husbands to a gardening show... LEGO! Ray spoke to Gary Kirwan who's built a Lego garden at this weekend's Bloom Festival

What animal would Ray be? And if you were going to name a badger, is Pat Kenny or Ian Dempsey a better name?

What an amazing weekend win! Lovely call with listener Áine who was diagnosed with cancer this week 15 years ago and today she's just driving back from her own exhibition at the RHA in Dublin.

"I love something that's absolutely atrocious" Ray and JP weigh in on what to watch on your screen.

"I'll join up my hole with the sea" Jess Kelly is here to talk all about holes, power outages and self-driving cars.

Ian gets his revenge gatecrash on Ray and JP! Sit back, relax, and nod off with Ian Dempsey's new app, 'Dempsey's Zen'.
