    He is paid with the private unseeable cryptocurrency Monero. Transactions tumbled & invisible to all others, including Revenue. Learned to create a wallet an dat meself recently, but purely for research purposes and not paying a hitman for hire or anything dubious. I’m learning a sh1t load about de hidden web, encryption an dat. All in de name of research.

    No we found out that Mark the deaf lad in the studio, is a great speaker ??🤔 He never spoke

    We also found out that Mark is a brilliant fantastic super driver. How do we know this ?

    Quote from Joe . "You're a fantastic driver Mark I know this because you showed me your keys". Wtf

    400,000 + money well spent 😤

    I saw on the podcast Joe had yet another show dedicated to his second favorite topic after death, Transexuals.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,096 ✭✭✭Red Fred


    I wonder did Joe show Mark the keys of his Jag. A game of car keys Top Trumps so to speak.

    Maniac Productions Presents... The Brutal Afternoon.

    Or Mad Day in Montrose

    Five (and Timmy) Go Mad in Irish Sign Language.

    By Joe's logic I'm an incredible, brilliant, brilliant,. brilliant, wunderful fantastic astronaut because I once built a space shuttle from Lego.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    Pity Joe would never speak, the show would improve enormously.

    having a radio show in tribute to the deaf would be akin to having a television show in tribute to the blind😑

    in short it was daft, like an Irish Joke, totally Paddy'ish

    Will Shay get another little digeen in at Lord Dollymount today?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭mumo3


    Not another day of this!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,530 ✭✭✭PieOhMy


    Joe today.

    Truck drivers were mentioned. Deaf people are not disbarred from driving. Clip from yesterday. Joe rambling like a maniac. Very hyped up. Something about an exam in sign language.

    Something else about yesterday's boring program. Moar deaf people today.

    1 deaf person going for some election.

    1 mudder has a deaf baybee.


    This is one to avoid.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,603 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    Joe must have some skin in this game - unless he really is targeting a future Aras run 😮



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    Unless he gets his extremely large and protruding derriere handed to him he really does not know when to let something go, does he?

    "We can arrange the technology" 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Hope D'Arcy isn't involved then.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    No dig from Shay today sadly, Joe must have spoken to Dee Forbes about the staff speaking to Royalty.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,603 ✭✭✭leath_dub


    Who's picking up the bill for the Sign language interpreter? No doubt conscientious Joe will pick up the tab from his gargantuan fee



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭mumo3


    Is there not one person around him, that can tell him how bizarre this is? A week long RADIO Show dedicated to the deaf!! I'm not one to take away from the attention needed about the lack of resources for the deaf community and if it was any other minority group there would be uproar, but this is ridiculous.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,322 ✭✭✭✭Losty Dublin


    Today's Liveline and it's yet more on deaf people.

    • Deaf people, like meddycool students, should be let do any job that they want, including learning to drive big trucks.

    • But they can't cos the RSA are mean.
    • We need more all sorts of free things. It's all the quangos fault, y'know.

    • A young Mother discovered that not only her chiselur is deaf but he can't hear as well.

    Call in on our suppiselasticated numbers and lines and be part of the show. Translators are on hand, cos hypocrite Joe doesn't speak ISL either.

    Is Joe perhaps contemplating a New Buke on Deafness during the rising , what his going on with his new obsession 🤔

    F******G ESB just announced 23.4% increase in electricity and 24.8% increase in Gas, that's it I'm calling Joe 😏

    I have 2 friends who are deaf so Im not unaware they have some difficulties, but both are happy go-lucky people who just get on with life. They are not of the "poor me" brigade and so wouldn't be seen(or heard?) dead on Joes tribute shows. It's really badly timed as well. He did about 2 shows dedicated to Ukraine and thought, thats grand I've covered Ukraine, whats next?

    According to Citizens Information, there are about 5000 deaf people in Ireland. As of today, there are 15,000 Ukranian refugees in Ireland, and that number could rise to over 100,000. Ukranians, also, are not of the "poor me" brigade, so that maybe doesn't quite fit Joe's agenda.

    Anyway, I agree with you, it's a poor topic for a radio programme, being broadcast at a badly judged point in time.

    As you say, is there no-one around him who can go "Joe, I dont think that idea will work on radio/Now is not a good time for this topic"

    Missed de intro, but I see it’s gonna be a lot of the sound of silence, punctuated by Joe’s burping



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,199 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    Lol, Our housing minister also announcing that 35k new homes will need to be built in the next 5 years to house refugees that look like us . Have the government seriously lost the plot all together, at the same time , Tents being erected in Gormanstown 😳

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.




  • Posts: 24,207 ✭✭✭✭ Riley Helpless Grapevine


    The news is fascinating… looove to hear more about the Russian expulsions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭mumo3


    Tents in Gormanstown is never going to happen!!! But the government know people are starting to get antsi about all these house's magically appearing for Ukrainians, when we've had a housing crisis for years!! The, they may look like us, but they're not us brigade (no doubt backed by the Shinners) will be out soon if something is not seen to be done about the mystical magical houses.

    Probably why Joe is filling a week with deaf callers, rather than the with people who want to ask these questions!!



  • Posts: 11,642 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I camped with the army in Gormanstown. I've a great story of the night I was fire officer when we had the big storm and three of the tents blew away. These weren't two man tents you buy in Argos, these were 12 man army tents.

    We’re financially fooked as per news. A lot not working due to Covid or ridiculously pathetic wages. War in Europe. Services interrupted, Covid letting rip, pathetic health service to begin with, housing issue to get worse with our friends coming from Ukraine. But I bet the Ukrainians will fill a lot of jobs we wouldn’t touch.
