That would make good radio chat

Joe says in the promo what he plans to talk about in the show, to stir people up and get them ringing in. Some days he gets tons of calls about escalators, the silent killers but zero from pensioners huddled up in bed. Maybe they fell asleep…

Joe may vote FG on Friday, if he thinks that they are promising Coddle for everyone!

Probably the "output" from Joe's ensuite.

All joking aside, you are probably correct.

Only in Ireland could we spend a billion on building a sewage treatment facility, but forget to take into account all the visitors and workers who come into the city during the day. The net result is a system which could not handle the existing capacity when finished, let alone future prof us for another 10 to 20 years.

The new Children's Hospital is another example demand out stripping supply.

The government are not even talking about building additional hospitals, (which takes decades in Ireland) while the current one are operating above their design capacity.

I read earlier in the week prison capacity is currently at 107%. Any plans to build a new one? No. Direct result? Lots more suspended sentences.

Did we ever find out why Dolly Parton chose Liveline in 2023? and does she have any regrets on it?

I know there's precisely zero sympathy for any caller on the show ever on this thread. But I came across an ad for a place called "Vogue Dublin" there on Instagram, must be the same scam operation as had featured on LL. TBF the site looks very plausible and legit at first glance, not a surprise to me that it's caught many.

Ah now that is not fair. We loved 85 year old Grace in Ballinasloe with her posh english accent taking care of her husband. And John Joe and his toe. And Carlos and his Ma who were homeless. And that shepherd in Kerry who is sick of foxes. And Shane O Curry. And Michael O Leary. And that barefoot man in West Cork. And those two pensioners living the high life in the canaries, much to Joe's chagrin. And financial whiz Enid who criticised government spending (what happened to Enid?)

Don't forget Blind Boy Boatclub!

There have been some legends over the years. Often its not the "I did something stupid" people laugh at, but the "I did something stupid and now feel the need to tell the nation about it".

I still remember the caller from years ago, who had her bag snatched. Nothing wrong there, can happen to anyone, but they had emptied her bank accounts.

Joe: But how did they know the pin numbers Mary?

Mary(not her real name): I had the pin numbers written down.

Joe: Well lots of people have their pin number written down, but you didnt have a page in your diary called "Marys PIN numbers". Hehehe

Mary: I did Joe.

Joe: (inaudible)

There were no flys on Grace, at the young 85.

She kept Joe on his toes

The moments of real gold are where the researchers (& Joe) think they have a 'home run' on the line (some pure eijit or someone universally un-popular) ... and then the cawlur completely turns the tables on Joe and kicks the hole out of him.... to the point whereby he's forced to go to an emergency ad break, or smash the bad line button

Examples from my memory are Michael O'Leary, the inmate from Mountjoy, Dublin Mint guy, The Wolfe tones guy, the neighbours of Kellie Harrington .... all gave Joe a metaphorical bloody nose 👃🥊

I fear you might be right.

I was about to say, Joe's researchers are probably ringing around Mammies as we speak.

The main man does not sound the best today.
