Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

Lahvlahn with a minute long exploration of depth charge technology

3pm, off you trot.

Eye Sea Bee Em.

Sure thing.

De Russians would have put a nuke sub in Cork harbour.

Much better there than out in the open.

Makes perfect sense.

The arms manufacturers are doing well anyway, thats the main thing

When Tom wouldn't yield to Joe's simplistic world view, you could sense Joe's increasing annoyance. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did

Christ that was particularly, Awful, Awful today, @ButtersSuki , did in fairness warns us, I thought Clueless Joe would give the Ukrainian thingy 5 minutes, but mother of God he went off on a 75 minutetangent. Why he's suddenly got a bee in his bonnet re Russia all of a sudden beyond me, he's absolutely clueless and it showed 🙄

Don't you mean yellowish

There's a reason why you never see him on any form of a serious panel show; he's generally ill informed and near clueless on serious matters. He has no intellectual depth and in a gathering of his peers he's very quickly found out. He can't just shout over them like he does to ordinary callers on the radio.

From his basic pronunciation to his inability to think on his feet to his constant failure to take in what a person is saying and not listening to them, he's a disaster.

Apart from a few soft interviews he had when doing his books, he's never been on anything of note and he'd never be considered for a job in current affairs, or for a main chat show like the LLS or something Tommy Tiernan does. The one show I remember him doing, The Spirit Level was the dead hour on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't watch the Meaning of Life, it may be interesting conversation, but it's not in depth analysis.

The one time I remember him on Marian Finucane was 'nepotism weekend' when Brendan O'Carroll took over and it was a cash bonus for the Funny Friday club.

He's a fool. The interview he did with the Brazilian policeman in the wake of the Pat Hickey affair sums up his inabilities in a neat 15 minute segment.

I find that in extremely bad taste. People died. I'm sure it was a great laugh all along for scare byrne and her production team so they are probably sad to see it go. Most rte programme appears to me to be ran mostly for the benifit of those working on the programme, and I use word "working" very loosely.

Only in your head this one I think. Some people need a release. Others release is venting on the likes of boards.ie or even this thread. Each to their own. Not that I agree with the a lot of the melodrama or processing it guff. But many industries took a hammering. Just because some want to now enjoy themselves does not mean they are disgusting. It is how they find a release.

Fair enough. A very quick u turn in double quick time and all the media jumped on.

In the past while I have felt that even the mainstream Irish media has become very Tabloidesque in their own way. Even before these restrictions ended.

That would be N for tooth extraction without pain relief would have been more enjoyable

There was a small section where Joe met his match with someone who actually knew what he was talking about but he was quickly dispatched before he could embarrass Joe anymore
