    the comment "well you should have kept your legs closed" from one Dublin caller was one of the funniest things i have heard on the show


    Does anyone know what the topic was when this woman was on and what year it was broadcast? Thanks

    This one is good. A priest objects to children putting on a magic show at a fundraiser for Lourdes.

    1) Shanika and the Mormons.

    2) the lady who was scammed by a local gigolo and also stung in the bum by bee, while holidaying in Lanzarote.

    3) the man who both a car online using dunedeal without even seeing the car or meeting the seller.

    "...no Joe, you rang me !..." A.Caller.

    Apologies if already mentioned (probably several times) but the serial killer obsessed teacher is my personal favourite. Absolute gold.

    Is it true that John Daly was murdered because other prisoner's phones ended up being confiscated afterwards? Or had he been in trouble already? Paul Williams was so cringe here, like he thought he was Batman, out to save us all.

    A few years back some caterer didn't turn up for a communion, the parents called Joe and were upset, the caterer called to defend himself - his defence ? - he got a call saying if he turned up to the event he would be beaten up so stay the f*ck away!

    It was ridiculous and he kept digging and digging ... and digging even after it was shown he was lying his arse off ... classic stuff.

    Here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvc6n30K8qE

    Nothing to do with Joe, according to the man himself.

    Duffy can't say he was unaware that John Daly was in prison, because introducing him, he says, ''you're in Portlaoise prison at the moment''.

    Listen back to Jaco Costello, June 2018
    https://soundcloud.com/rte-radio-1/jaco-costello
    Jaco Costello is single mother with two children (12, 2).
    Her sister was minding her children in Sligo for a few days and she went to pick them up on Monday. Jaco got stopped by a checkpoint in Sligo. She had no tax on her car and understands that she was in the wrong. She told Joe Duffy that she doesn’t claim anything from the state and pays her own bills in order to put food on the table and pay rent. She also explained that she has never been in an accident or claimed on car insurance.
    Her insurance is €1900 (€7400 if she lost my no claims bonus).

    When Jaco was stopped at the check point – her two children were in the car. The Garda told Jaco that she would be taking her car because her tax was out. She explained to Joe how she pleaded with the Garda to let her drive back to Dublin and hand the car over to her local station but the Guard refused.

    Jaco had €25 in her bag and a car full of luggage as well as her two children.
    Jaco then explained that she had nobody to call in order to help both her and her children.

    The Guards then dropped her and her children and 6 bags, a metal briefcase, a box of plants and a very large car seat to the train station. She had no nappies either.
    Her sister tried to book tickets online but it said the train was full so her 12 year old son had to pull apart his bag and see if they could scrape enough coins together to buy a ticket in the station. They only bought one ticket as that’s all they could afford.

    I was almost feeling bad for her for a minute - but then the tax was out not a few weeks, but over a year(!)

    I think Francis fron the other day should be added to this honourable list.

    Almost (but not quite) managed to shut Joe up with his verbal diarrhoea on wildly varying topics.

    talking to the Brazilian police officer after Pat Hickey's arrest. Joe's crawling to anyone with any bit of influence in Irish society is painful

    I dont listen too often but there was a very funny one last year/year before. Some old woman rang in looking for the book of condolences that when missing for her sibling that died in Clare. Think she spoke to Phillip. She was a character. She then started talking about all the deaths in her family. Remember reading here online that joe woukd have loved it.

    This one is gold and so typical of the Celtic Tiger era... Derek alleges that chef Kevin Thornton became furious over the French fries he ordered at his restaurant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tigeco6YI94

    Today's show surely has to be added to the list?

    Fighting over who should be chosen to sing for the Papa? Which descended into fighting over lots of other stuff, which was nothing to do with anything (I think - was all a bit confusing!).

    If/When the podcast ever goes up, of course :rolleyes:

    It was good but not an all time great IMO. I think the lack of good crazy shows lately probably made it feel like it was better than it actually was so to speak.

    Don't forget Daniel's sexuality being questioned, along with his part in manipulating a referendum result. LOL.

    And the guy who refused to let Joe interrupt him or shout him down (even if he did turn out to be a raving loony in the end)

    And the guy who "didn't want to be on your show for very long, Joe " and got the curtest sign off EVER from Joe.

    Oh, it was up there in my books anyway!

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it was Versatis Part 365,98; just not sure it was on Rio Garda, Seamus Treanor, Shane O'Curry or Nigerian Embassy Level.
