Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

avfc1874

I switched off when the first caller started crying yesterday, and won't be listening today, these calls are just to try to make Joe look caring and he will be on sad voice overload, with each caller being sadder and sader,

Another group box ticked for Joe in the Aras, it's all for the long game purpose

I say it each year, but de self-published bukes need to be promoted in October if they are to be available for consideration, ordering and posting etc in time for Christmas presents.

Is it a late start here or is the stream miles behind again ?

I carry one copy of a bad CF gene, glad I didn’t have any children.

Joe kicks off with extra sombre, caring and concerned voice (otherwise known as "fake voice #2")

One Who Waits...

I a wordild where a talentless radio presenter earns €400K per annum for 6 hours 15 minutes 'work' a week, everyone should get everything they want.

His father gave a bad gene too. And you seem to be a responsible Mum.

Yank ?

Were are you originally from ?

Tunes in... CF.... tunes out.

How many listeners is Duffy losing every day?

pre tears again today. another day of propaganda.

He keeps saying it, but is it beyond doubt that this helps those with the gene issue?

squonk

very low on facts here I must say. What’s the business with the Gege. Why does it matter? Is the drug less effective with that? What’s the monthly cost per person projected to be? Answer those Joe & cawlurs and can the hysterics and fake caring voice.

Another set-up by the CF campaign.

If she already knew she possessed the gene, she'd bloody well be right in feeling guilty.

I don't see the American government paying a cent for the treatment or your standard American health insurance paying.

Joe's voice is really pissing me off: " but it's not your {quiver} fault {end quiver}"

The top presenters’ salaries would go quite a way to help pay for that medication.

Dan Jaman

So, she's going to go ahead and have a kid, rolling the dice on CF?

Fecking irresponsible clown.

Tow

She has CF and wants help to have children, so more people can suffer from it????!!!

Good point. That way they are ready to be thrown onto the Hallowe'en bonfires.

If he actually cared like he’s letting on to, he’d put a bit of Milan out of his earnings on the table and urge a few high rollers to match it.

15 is over 12

Disabled people also get that bonus

I am not even sure that he is listening to the callers. He just seems to be obsessed with the cost of the drug. The caller gives their story, he never reverts to what they have just said.....just gives a big sigh.......and then talks about the cost/availability of the drug.

If there are ongoing negotiations between Gov and the company then surely this isn't fecking helping???

He's keeping a straight face because he knows the chances of conning a cawlur into letting him do a funeral live on air is middling to high and he doesn't want to blow his chances.

One Who Waits...

Excuse the ignorance, so to speak, but when does Michael D's term in office end? Will Joe throw his over-sized hat in the ring at the next election or continue to milk €400K at RTÉ for another few years?

The Áras would be a €150K drop in salary for Joe. Maybe NK could renegotiate...

Will Versatis do any good?
