Best thing you've ever heard on Joe Duffy?

"And that's it for another edition..."

EDIT: Actually, the story of the woman 'trapped' on the inside of the seat on a train while a bloke watched pr0n on his laptop was a classic. There's a great thread on here about it too.

"And that concludes today's program. I'll be gone for the next week and someone else wil be taking over for then..." Magic.

godtabh

It hasnt happend yet.

"I quit"

Lockstep

The woman who phoned in whining about how her kid was supposed to have a balloon making, dancing clown at her party, but the poor child was distraught when she only got a dancing clown who made no balloons.

Poor kid must be traumatised.

To caller: "Have yous nothing better to fucking do?!"
I wait in hope.

The prisoner ringing from Mountjoy on his mobile was pretty surprising at the time. Showed the country the kind of luxuries given to these criminals which we're paying for with our taxes.

Aren't mobiles illegal in the Joy?

Also, unless the state is giving him the mobile, it's not something we're paying for. (assuming he was allowed to have it)

I actually heard some show on FM104 where the dj was talking about scobe cars, tinted windows and loud exhausts. This girl was on saying that the tinted windows 'protect' her when she's in dangerous places... like tallaght.

He heckled her a bit and then she said that she likes the loud exhaust so that people would notice her and that she would impress them (I'm totally serious.. this is what she said) and he then said 'but why the tinted windows then! coz no one would see you trying to 'impress' them!!

Ahh the FM104 phone in show. It's a scripted comedy, right?

I don't think anyone who listens to FM104 phone in shows should be mocking someone else's intelligence.

Stuck in the doctors waiting room I came in in the middle of some left-handed people bitching about the design of cars.

"It's very inconvenient Joe, I have ta get into the car, put down the winda, get out again and use my left hand to turn the ignition."

I shit you not.



He must buy cars on the basis of them not having electric windows...

Search is not doing me any favours, unless it was moved to a different forum.

It's an absolute classic though.

There was one show about a family who'd got a caterer to do their sons confirmation, but he didnt turn up. What happened next was an hour of the guy lying about where he was. it was very very funny. It began to emmerge he was actually sacked and had robbed the company's van- but he was clainging he owned the company.

The Eire models saga was funny too- they burried that Guy.:D
he was a knob jokey!

There was a fella on for the head shops.

Joes callers were doing the usual tirade on how dangerous these drugs were and they should be all banned.

Joe says something along the lines of 'I know nothing about recreational drugs"

Yer man just just says real dry "thats not what I've heard"

Cue joe going of on one, 'Take back that scurrilous remark right now!" :pac:

The UFC episode was a modern classic.

Give them all free phones with Joe Duffy on speed dial I say.

Captain-America

What with Joe Duffy being one of my arch nemisis' (the other being Joan Burton), I tend to avoid him. But I can remember one day there sometime around October 2008, just when recession was starting to bite, some TD who's name escapes me rang into Liveline with an elaborate plan for the Government to save money on job advertising.

She suggested that by the Government setting up their own National advertising Newspaper (that for no reason whatsoever, would be exclusively as Gaeilge, I think she's a huge supporter of the language or something), and never advertising in other National newspapers again, they would save 'Up to a million euro.' Not within any given time limit mind you, just up to a million. Needless to say, Joe was dumbfounded.

Just when I thought this couldn't get any better, some concerned citizen who saw his chance to slaughter the poor woman and her genius plan rang up Joe and went through how horrible her plan was point by point. Such as the fact advertising is how newspapers primarily make their money, and would be losing out; How publishing their own newspaper would actually cost the Government quite a bit; the fact that only people looking for Government jobs would buy the paper, thus the Government making a loss; and of course over what time period this million bucks would be saved.

She had nothing at all to gone on and swiftly left. I've never laughed so hard at the radio.



EDIT:
Also, I heard him earlier, and they were talking about how drinking during the Lionel Richie concert caused disruption for some people. Which is all fine and dandy. But this guy rang up about it and said if they're going to sell alcohol they might as well sell some decent Irish Whiskey, which in his opinion was Jameson. Joe didn't sound too happy with his input.

DublinWriter

He's beginning to sound like some Ballyer Auld Wan leaning over her garden wall listening to the tale of woe from the neighbour of a Monday morning.

"Wha? Really? Ah gawd..." *disgrunted off-mic sigh and tsk*

Yes, Joe Duffy, man of the people, ex-president of the Trinity Communist Society, now laughing to the bank with a €400k salary.

Honestly...what the f*ck is it with RTE and these muppets? Is there a secret handshake or something?!?

Captain-America

He gives people with no day jobs looking for a good rant a forum to make their irrelevant feelings known. Listenership will go up with the recession no doubt.

Wertz

The day some woman decided to call in giving out about a drugs research project in TCD, which was providing book tokens as a gratuity for the time spent answering a questionaire and taking some tests. This moron was adamant that this €20 book token was providing an incentive to "poor students" to start taking drugs. :rolleyes:
The sheer stupidity of this mindset (thinking that someone would go out and take ecstasy in order to take part in a survey on it's usage for a bloody book token) went unchallenged by Duffy (who actually stirred the pot further) until the guy from Trinity came on himself and talked 10 minutes of common sense about what his study was hoping to do...but no, the inital complainant and several other bleating biddies were chiming in with "disgrace" "drug filth" etc.
I got pretty annoyed that day...one of the only times I've actually tried calling the show (not that you have a chance of getting on; all call backs and all screened for what you might say) to let loose on that stupid bitch.

I enjoy liveline most days...I see it as a forum for people who may not have any other place to go...some of the stuff on it is utter sh*te but sometimes some stuff comes along that you'd otherwise miss...the piece on today about tradesmen having their tools nicked from vans whilst in B&Q in liffey valley was interesting...if that stops a few guys having thier livleihoods stolen then it was a worthwhile piece.
Then there's the other side of the coin...some moron last week who felt she had to leave Bocelli's concert because of some bull fighting scenes shown on a back drop during the conert...the show really does attract some of the biggest moaners in the land with very little actual grievance but one hell of a series of chips on their shoulders.

I could tell you - but then I'd have to give you your own show and €300k.

I think my favourite one was the woman on whining that her son couldn't go to the scout jamboree, and how disappointed he was. The reason he couldn't go was due to terrible flooding, where many people lost their houses/possessions. And she didn't know how to explain to him why he couldn't go.

I'd have sat him down in front of the telly, showed him the pictures of the people whose belongings were destroyed and given him a clip around the ear (for no particular reason).

banshee_bones

Thought the guy who rang from prison rang from portlaoise?
and no theyre not allowed have phones, certainly not in mount joy anyway.
I also believe the wardens got wind of it quickly enough and confiscated it? Still Brilliant though!

Paparazzo

Joe Duffy is dangerous. People that ring in are listened to. Grand if it's something dodgy, but when they push something like opening hours of pubs, the auld biddies that ring in can get their way. I wish young people bombarded the show with calls, asked for extended opening hours and cheaper beer
