Ray Hadley opens up about his career, retirement, untold NRL Stories & battles with Politicians

[@MoTARDcrew]

Great watch Mark, as you said and can tell by some of these comments "theres always opposition media" Ive been listening to Mr Hadley for years and ill miss listening to him in the morning as i drive my truck around Sydney. He stands up for the battlers and always holds politicians accountable regardless of the side they stand for. Just subscribed and will spend my lonely christmas day watching more videos from you. Merry Christmas mate

[@russellchristison8425]

I enjoyed this interview more than I expected, I’ve never been a fan of Ray Hadley but found it fascinating to listen to his story. I enjoy your interview style Mark.

[@MarkBourisYT]

Thanks for the nice words mate

[@FattyMatty426]

Ray Hadley is a grub. It fills me with glee that I shall never have to hear him call another game of rugby league. Begone, Hadley.

[@timbrown8581]

Great interview Mark. Ray Hadley is just an awesome subject to interview. Enjoy your retirement mate!

[@MarkBourisYT]

Thanks for listening mate!

GREAT INTERVIEW MARK ,,,HELLO FROM ADELAIDE

[@DancingWithFools-b1y]

I'm the last to ever think of getting emotional...but that story about your dad...had to focus to keep it together. Much respect Hadley 🙏

[@davidmurphy9302]

This bloke is a true legend. It’s unbelievable it really is. I’m a bricklayer and he is saying how hard he worked his son is a Copper that got done for drugs? The bloke is a wanker.

This podcast just goes from strength to strength. Loving it Mark, keep them coming 🔥

[@MarkBourisYT]

Thank you! Will do!

Glad to see him gone no 1 windbag and no all .

[@SidKneeGeo]

One of the more interesting ones for me as ive listened to ray for years and perfect timing !

[@cvarikos]

Top one.. captivating guest Ray. Telling MT to use himself as a Jug handle. GOLD.

[@khylerin70]

I'm all but certain Hadley's son wouldn't enjoy the position he does at Racing NSW were it not for his father's connections. Not after his NSW Police exit.

[@andrewbobak5578]

Very funny his position regards integrity?

[@parkjohns9696]

Also bold of him to complain about echo chambers when he worked at 2GB

[@boormanlawyers]

Great interview - it takes a great interviewer to bring out the true character of a person, you have done this with Ray and I now have a greater appreciation for Ray Hadley as a person!!

[@oldcynic6964]

I listened to Ray when he did the Continuous Call show with Frilingos and Fulton on 2UE, and admired his professionalism and calling style. ( I never heard him on 2GB - I was a white-collar worker and didn't listen to radio during the day.) I hadn't realised he had done that show for so long, until I heard this podcast. I admire his ability to work so many hours and to produce content that so many people warm to. I'll give this podcast a thumbs-up, and the same for Mr Hadley, too.

[@stephenanthony2048]

Mark podcast after podcasts always great content, Thank you

[@MarkBourisYT]

Thanks for listening

[@elizaflawless7393]

I love people and their stories about their lives...so real

[@anthonybennett3434]

A long but good interview. I have listened to Ray for many years first on UE and then on GB. He was at times a steam roller other times a compassionate friend and benefactor to those in need. I found him at times frustrating to listen to but he was nearly always enertaining. This is a fact that was reflected in his ratings for many years. Sydney radio will be the poorer for his retiring. Good luck in your retirement Ray you will be missed.

[@MarkBourisYT]

Thanks for the kind words and your insights

[@brendanmeadors3099]

Great show mark. Im not a fan of football, cant stand the mainstream media or anyone else on talkback radio especially on 2gb. But i tuned into ray in the morning religiously for years. He was always entertaining and fun to listen to, and his tirades were legendary. You either love him or hate him. There will be a void in many people's mornings from 9 to 12 for years to come. That said I think the biggest concern of ray's retirement will be the influx of trucks on the galston gorge 😂 Onya Ray

Ray was a bully. A few good deeds doesn’t excuse bad behaviour.

[@givesy123]

He said he treated his female staff like his daughters and rather awkwardly married his female staffer

If you can't afford designer bags and feel a certain way about expensive designer bags, then don't watch this video. Like do you read a video title before clicking on it? The title makes it clear that the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful and although I can't afford these bags yet, I know one day I will. I wanted to know which designer bag was truly worth my hard-earned money and one that I would get the most out of. That being said, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing this video with us and please make more videos like this. Maybe kislux is your next choice?

[@giddyup2680]

For years Hadley banged on about sa of children. Yet he championed & sucked up to Alan Jones every chance he had, what gives?

[@rgw5830]

Through private education, and for the two older children, an excellent school - he has taught his children to fish - rather than hand them their fish. So if he again chooses to teach the little ones how to fish they will be just fine.

[@davidwoods304]

Even through the Christmas break … oh …

[@Peter-wc4kr]

Not a lot of flattening comments on here. If this is generally the legacy he has left was all that time well spent?

[@Fordtrain]

As much as I find Ray's politics hypocritcal and scattergun at times I still listen to him because he's a bloody good broadcaster. I grew up listening to him call the footy and I'll always love him for that. Not to mention him getting angry is bloody hilarious, when he gets riled up about con artists and stuff it's gold. The Reverend Matthew Murdoch (will never forget that name) can sleep easy now.
