The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show

On this morning’s Gift Grub, Ray goes live to the Cheltenham track where Des Scahill is calling the first race of the day — only it’s not horses thundering up the straight, it’s Ireland’s greatest songs in a full-blown musical steeplechase.

Christy Moore, Damien Rice, Bagatelle, U2, Snow Patrol, The Cranberries, Thin Lizzy, Pat Shortt, Ronan Keating and even the Wolf Tones all charge for the line.

With a Trump meeting looming next week, Micheál is in bits — so who better to coach him than Willie O'Dea?
Willie puts the Taoiseach through a crash course in talking nonstop without saying anything with a trip to Duffy’s Circus thrown in for good measure. Going forward, it’s pure Gift Grub chaos.

The Today FM countdown of the 100 Greatest Irish Songs is heating up.

On this morning’s Gift Grub, Louis Walsh drops in with classic chaos while former bookie Ivan Yates joins with the latest “odds” as the Cranberries surge, U2 hover… and the bookies panic over a massive Wolf Tones bet that stops everything.

It’s the second-last Dancing with the Stars and Ray is absolutely glued to it.

Arthur Gourounlian has a wildly steamy vision of Ray and JP on the dancefloor next year, before Karen Byrne happily piles on with even more awkward detail.

A simple DWTS chat turns into pure, unfiltered Gift Grub chaos.

The Late Late Show is off this Friday, and on this morning’s Gift Grub, that news sends Ian and Daniel into a proper spin.

Daniel is absolutely flipping furious — not because he loves it… but because he needs it. How are people meant to “hate watch” it on socials if it’s not even on? And all because there’s a rugby match on another channel, hours earlier.
