I must admit that Vincent from Cork provided me with a few great laughs when I was in the car today.

"Its 2 years since I talked to you Joe"

and

"Your a great man, Joe. A great man".

Wouldn't surprise me if he pays these stooges to ring in with de compliments so to speak and keep de masses under de illusion he's just about surviving himself on €35k a year from de RTÉ do to speak. Those who see Joe as some sort of wurking class hero sticking it to the man would get some shock when they realise Joe's €35k is a monthly arrangement and not an annual one like he likes to pretend he's "earning".

Going by their Facebook page it seems to be popular locally but the town I'm talking about is full of crusties and has an art school and a few other dubious non-business selling silly first world nonsense to people with no sense.

Galway?

Listened to the Ryanair segment from yesterday's show when I was walking the dogs this morning. At one stage he said the following line:

Joe: OCS, dare de peeple day do de buggies....de beep beep beep buggies.


"de beep beep beep buggies"? Is that the technical name for them Joe?

Such a pro.

Joe refers "He is a sixteen year old young man" and then later says "a sixteen year old boy" and then "he's a big lad"

Hitchens

Joe - "what happened, caller?"

Mary - "I was on that big road near Dublin Airport, Joe, and I got a puncture, Joe"

Joe - "my god, my god, what did you do, petal?"

Mary - "I rang the Air Traffic Control, Joe, but they told me to cop myself on, Joe"

Joe - "U Ormund produced, Ray Darcee is next!"

Nah, a much smaller town which makes it much sadder because there are enough of these types of people living there to support this snake oil shop.

Maybe he said "he has a big lad", so to speak? A Mrs. Browniz Boyiz type ref. so to speak?

Sorry, am I dreaming or did I hear Joseph say something to the effect:

"I'm doin me best to check de facts as I'm goin' along here but I hav'nt de toime or de personnel or dat, so to speak."

The lady caller was getting on to him about the inaccurate claims of other callers and poor Joe had to do his best to reign in that legendary temper of his.

Is that a good enough answer, though?
This is only the state funded national broadcaster, we can't be checkin de facts. We havn't toime nor de munee for dat, so to speak.

Here's a suggestion: 200,000 Euros for the presenter "fees" (still an outrage for that presenter at that price) and the balance 200,000 plus to hire fact checking people who'd work during the programme.

Hang on, the other full time host (Fill-in Boucher Hayes), wan a de tree producers, or de researchers could do some research.......OR something other than stroke Joe's ego and feed him cake.

Get the muppet who made the travesty that was "Row, row, row your boat" to put his time to better use and do some research.

The absolute cheek of the chancer to say he has no resources.

I only listened to a part of the show yesterday, which in the tradition of Liveline makes me more qualified to talk about it than those who listened to the whole thing, I got the beginning and the end.

It reminded me of something we did in college; essentially the lecturer showed us the ideal way to do a certain thing but also gave us examples of worst possible practice. Joe yesterday excelled himself and his contributions should be used as compulsory hearing for any media student on how not to do a radio show.

He started by saying he was a boy of 16, to elicit our sympathy to the plight of the youngster, then when he had to be carried down some steps, he was referred to as an adult of 16 to make him sound bigger and heavier. A classic piece of tabloid trash journalism, where the broadcaster makes the story, not the story making the story.

He got sneering when Michael O'Leary wouldn't go on the radio. I only heard MOL on LL once before. He waited till 2.55 as he was "in a meeting", then heald a 5 minute monologue, not giving Duffy a chance to get in, when he did shut up it was 3.00 and time to go. Classic ambush of a seasoned PR pro (MO'L) up against a twit.

Joe sounded overawed on the day that someone of O'Leary's stature would grace the LL with their presence and he bowed to the might of O'Leary. Embarrassing stuff tbh.

His attack on the guru yesterday was in full swing until he found out that the caller was both an artist and a member of a well known musical and artistic family. He then dropped his pointed attack on the guru/faithhealer and started to fawn over them as he wouldn't like to risk getting a dirty look the next time he puts one of his etchings on display or tries to ingratiate himself into the arty class.

He's such a fraud that he drops his own principles for anything. My only regret is that Deirdre Brennan or any other leading artist isn't a Palmarian. That would be some clusterfcuk in Joe's mind, doubt he'd be able to handle it.

On the subject of faith healers, if a load of people head off to Lourdes or Knock, it's all fine and well in Joe's book, they are good Christian people. But head off to anyone who isn't approved of by the Church and they're a charlatan/fraud/rip-off merchant etc.

Total fraud.

Expunge

Don't forget his love of auld wans going to "Med-ja-gooor-jay".

Fine by Joe even if his old mates in the Catholic Church have yet to give it the green light.

Imagine trying to explain firmware to Joe?

Joe: Firmware, or hard clothing so to speak...
Caller: no Joe it's an update to existing software so to speak.
Joe: hah? Back after deeze...

Jesus, there's some hawkin and gawkin' going on beside Noonan there. That new sound system they put in was worth every penny, it's picking up every snot and snuffle... you can even hear it above all the paper shuffling! :rolleyes:

Smokes up 50 cent :eek:

Just shows how out of touch he is, Noonan reckons smokes will now be €11.00 per 20. More like €11.30. Its a disgrace Joe.

Was listening in the car, and I'm planning to send a complaint to someone (I have yet to figure out who) about this - all the coughing and spluttering was making me feel sick :eek: Surely in this technological day and age they can figure out how to amplify one voice without getting every other noise made with 100 yards?

Ah, the Joe Muddy Mattymaticks Show should be good fun A combination of Mary-from-Clontaaarf's back-of-de-envelope calculations of how much this is all going to cost her, and Joe's dodgy multiplication system (if he ever got beyond addition/subraction) on his eye-phone will be far more entertaining than the six hours of opposition speeches to come :eek:
