Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

Looking forward to today's promo - will Joe be able to bite his lip or will he go down the route of eulogising "Public service broadcasting" ?

Hecklers - you have just over an hour to get to Belfast. Show Joe Duffy the dangers of live radio!

Wow! No funny Friday!!

Genuinely shocked Joe is going there. Maybe Tubs isn't as popular as he lets on!

Today

The Tubs Scandal. Deeeee Forbes was suspended two days ago.

Will Joe drop Tubs the way he did with Syl Fox?

Joe could do with a trip to the moral hearing aid shop to fix the auld moral tone deafness. Sez he has a cawlur who's a hard working tax payer with a whats an app and your man says he's on the welfare.

Anyway, all of this and more from 1:45 as Joe sits on the fence on the issue of hidden payments made by RTÉ to Ryan Tubridy.

I have not paid it since I got back from abroad.

Far more comedy potential today, though.

No way Joe will stay balanced here - sure to lose the rag, I'd say

There is oppertunity today for 24 ct gold.

I predict he will pick a super mundane subject. Maybe Riley Helpless Grapevine could text in, and act as a sort of trojan horse. In the first breathe talk about the mundane topic, and in the second breathe ask a cutting question. "Did you know about this Joe?" "You dont have a similar arrangement yourself, Joe?", etc.

I wonder are people canceling their licence fee direct debit over the shenanigans.

How do yew know that Ryan was involved cawlur…..yew can’t say dat. My salary is none of yoor bizzyness cawlur? I don’t ask yew wot yew earn. I’m not an employee of rte cawlur , lm a contractor.
