Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

You have it well explained there Losty. TYFYS.

I’m getting more cheeky by the minute but…

They were unreal eulogies, well not in the case of Calorie as he is still allegedly in the land of the fit and alive. I got super annoyed at the Catherine Nevin one, with her victim’s family able to listen in.

Dat would have to be procedural programming on a timed interval basis, say every 5 minutes a belch, then a grunt, then a fart. Dat’s straightforward.

On the other hand the responses to callers would be done through de object oriented programming-dat is de attributes of what callers might say to evoke de JOEBOT responses. Eg if caller says “Fück”, JOEBOT is called to say “You can’t say dat, you can’t say dat, you can’t say dat”. De text output is transposed to audio in form of gruff robotic speech in a Doobalin dialect. So we write some Superclass we call “badWord”then apply subclasses like “badWord.fück” whereupon de code runs to output 3 times “you can’t say dat”. Another subclass might go like “piss” and so on.

So for this exercise we need other Superclasses for JOEBOT to respond to callers. Another example might be “unWoke”, with a Subclass “Junkie” where JOEBOT detects and corrects to de woke term “unwell”.

Then another Superclass type might be “belovedNames” where if certain subclasses like “goodBusiness” get mentioned, where eg “louisCopeland” extends “goodBusiness” it triggers JOEBOT to say “great reputation!”. Another subclass here might be “belovedDead” extended by eg “catherineNevin” where JOEBOT is called to say “may they rest in peace safe in the arms of Mary”.

You get the idea. You just need a a nice little ready list of code blocks to respond to caller keywurds.

Another procedural paradigm could be if the volume of caller’s voice exceeds a certain decibel the output of JOEBOT increases likewise, and an object could also be created whereby Joe shouts back “you know I went to Trinity”.

There’s no end of possibilities to load into JOEBOT and he could be updated as necessary providing there’s enough space on his drive.
