Rex was also given an interview on IrelandAM in which Mark Cagney slobbered all over him.

Cagney and Hayes were Gerry's best buds, they're likely to look after Rex. Not excusing it btw (do I even need to say that on here given my views on nepotism in RTE?)….just saying...

There's no shortage of pals throwing each other bones for fees, in RTE.

Joe loves a good "poor me" parking story. These drivers obviously dont listen to Joe or they would have parked in the Matter Hospital

Caller: "It's a disgrace Joe, sure how were we to know you had to pay to park? We're from Donegal. And you think they'd let us off as it's the All Ireland Final? etc. etc."
Joe: So you lost and the match and lost your money too……you lost on the double so to speak? Moriya says I. And do you think there were any Kerry cars clamped yesterday?
Caller: No Joe, not a single one. I reckon it's the Dublin Traffic Wardens getting their back on Donegal people because we beat them in the semi final.
Joe: EXPUNGE!

ButtersSuki · 22-09-2014 09:07AM

I just had a horrible thought.

Now that Colm Hayes has written an AMAZEBALLS sit-com for Radio and that it "stars" both Colm himself and Rex Ryan and because naturally as it's written by someone who works in RTE it will be the funniest thing ever and as Rex Ryan's comedic star rises due to the amazing success of this wonderful wonderful production we have……wait for it…..

REX RYAN ON FUNNY FRIDAY?

:eek:

ThisRegard · 22-09-2014 09:21AM

I think Rex is about 60 years outside the age bracket for allowable 'comedians' on Funny Friday.

Told you he was a tight bastard - Joe Duffy should be buying books to support the economy he claims to always care about (Fiver Friday so to speak) and supporting all the "artists" he has on his show yet he uses the library! And this was when he was on over €450k pa. Hypocrite.

Yeah, but he's "RTE" and therefore entitled to get fees from every available outlet in RTE. Duffy will he handing out the goody bags of cash to Rex wait until you see.

Probably a disgruntled caller, who got rudely cut off after the Duffy interviewing 'style'.

ButtersSuki · 22-09-2014 12:48PM

Anyone catch the promo so we can find out what's not on the show today? Or is it too early for same? I have to admit to not actually knowing when the promo goes out…...

Haughey getting a hiding in a pub on the morning of the budget i thought i heard him say for today

promo is usually between 12.30 - 45 on the Rolando Collins Show

Dan Jaman · 22-09-2014 01:46PM

Joe dodges that one, smart enough.

sudzs · 22-09-2014 01:47PM

I'm loving all the callers asking Joe if he'd work for free!!!

JM Skipton · 22-09-2014 01:47PM

Caller "I don't work for free Joe do you?" good start to the week:D

Roger_007 · 22-09-2014 01:47PM

I always thought the walking was free?

Tiger Mcilroy · 22-09-2014 01:48PM

Duffy asks questions of this lad when he knows the answer he wants already.

According to the leading civil servant at the time that was the real reason he missed the budget, not because he fell off a horse.

Joe is like a dog with a bone, he couldn't get the proles angry about the removal of street furniture last week, someone mentions the free walking tours blocking the footpaths, and here we are.

Free walking tours, it's worse than Jobsbridge, so Joe will say.

The radio presentation certainly isn't. My TV licence is due soon. :mad:

ButtersSuki · 22-09-2014 01:50PM

Just in, ah balls, did I miss someone asking Joe would he work for free? :eek::mad:

Roger_007 · 22-09-2014 01:50PM

The first caller should organise a protest march/walk.......................(and charge for it).

ButtersSuki · 22-09-2014 01:51PM

Wonder is there a JobBridge scheme for this venture?

:D:D:D

FYP hope you dont mind ..:D

"These tours are free, aren't they?"
"I don't work for free, Joe. Do you?"
<swerve>
And Joe totally rubbered that one.

Oops69 · 22-09-2014 01:53PM

God forbid, an entrepeur!,but he won't go down well with joe because he doesn't talk like auld Mr Brennan.

Roger_007 · 22-09-2014 01:53PM

Walking tour wars?

ButtersSuki · 22-09-2014 01:54PM

For a fella who charges fees to RTE himself and knows the ins and outs of it like the back of his hands I'd say, Joe's acting fairly dumb when it comes to the fees this guy is charging.

bottlebrush · 22-09-2014 01:54PM

On the jobbridge/drawbridge theme, I overheard one of my colleagues this morning saying that her friend had just started on a drawbridge scheme. When somebody asked why is it called drawbridge, she said it's because she can still draw the dole.......

ButtersSuki · 22-09-2014 01:58PM

As this is so boring, I'll tell you about the amusing highlight of my weekend.

Was in Belfast with the Nordie Proddy wife herself. We passed Anne Summers and they had a posted in the window saying

"50% off all Rampant Rabbits, Vibrators and Dildos"

So I pointed to the posted and asked herself "Do you thinks that 50% off the price or the length or girth?".

She was not amused. I thought it was funny!
