Every time an American comes near Dublin in a big shiny aeroplane, Pat Kenny gets him into the studio for a chat. They're fairly fucking annoying, some of them.

CALLER 2: You think you're paranoid now. If this continues you may find yourself looking down the business end of a 12-gauge.
14:05
JOERADIO: Why are you callin' me?
CALLER 1: I'm paranoid, that's why. I'm schitzofred. And I was featured on Crimeline on telly last night over something I did. I can't face the police. Even though they're nice. I'm mentally ill.
JOERADIO: Get a grip. Go see your parents and the priest and call me in the mornin'.
14:13
CALLER 3: It's nonsense Joe, to try to ask people to remember two hooded guys in a supermarket last September. Are we taking this thing seriously, a fella puttin' a pack of razor blades under his jumper? Let's call a spade. I completely agree with that man who went before. Can I say one thing, that fella that was on a minute ago, he's mentally ill and the last thing you say to someone who's mentally ill is "Get a grip", Joe. I have to go now.
JOERADIO: Right thanks eh ... I'll take that criticism live on air.
14:16
CALLER 4: All it does is to stir up emotions in people. How can you jog people's memories where there wasn't anyone else in the bedroom when the fellas with baseball bats came into the room? Last night they had one solved crime where they handed back a cement mixer to someone in Co. Clare.
JOE: Stolen by hardened criminals, no doubt.
CALLER 4: Ah sure this is a joke. It's petty. There's more serious stuff going on in the country.
14:20
CALLER 5: Forty youths stole a pony and broke its back. The yooligans were cheering on as the vet put him down. On the 25th January, a photo of a horse in a pool of blood. Why wasn't that on Crimeline?
- It's part of a cover up.
14:21
CALLER 6: It's a normal thing nowadays that a Garda or ambulance is called and is met by a cheering crowd. I'll go meet that young man who's paranoid and won't be shirking him off on a priest. I'm an ex Garda. We'll go down to the cop shop together and face this thing. That's doing something about it. Not talking about it.
- It's covering up the real crimes that are burning the Lake Isle. Blades, bullets, abuse, bullying, anti-social screeching is banned from direct access to the public airwaves.
14:24
CALLER 7: I was on You're A Star and the judges were horrible.
JOERADIO: Sorry Julia? You've come in on me left ear. 700,000 people watched it last Sunday. And the main thing in it was the behaviour of the judges?
CALLER 7: He said me harp looked like a lump of wood and I was squatting on the toilet. He told me drummer to shut up and they called him a dirty little brat. I was hurt by it.
- It's part of a cover up of the real talent that can unify and change society with it's brilliant beauty.
CALLER 7: RTE television are teaching people bad lessons, because they're humiliating the winners and the losers on this show.
JOE: Ah, it's an independent program that they buy in.
- Stitch up.
14:28
JOE: Have you made your point yet?
CALLER 7: I had a full day of child care. The drummer had to get a cab from Limerick. People deserve respect. Maybe we should show hangings and bullfights instead of You're A Star.
JOERADIO (obviously fed up): You're already generating a response on the screen, I can tell ya, but lots of other things are too.
CALLER 8: Inspector Fyffe from the Garda Bananas. I know Frankie (Caller 2) is going around the country out of his tree. He has to call these monkeys. We'll throw a party.
14:26
CALLER 9: A police detective was brought in to Crimecall to show how they'd recovered a sharpening stone. It must of taken the Guard a whole day to come in and show it. Now McDoggel, the Guards and I've a crooked solicitor...
JOERADIO: Ok we'll leave it there.
14:41
CALLER 10: Hurt and pain Joe. Lives turned upsidedown.
CALLER 11: You can tell people they can't sing but you don't have to put tears in their eyes. I have tears in me eyes every week.
JOERADIO: If Judge Brendan turned into a womble, the ratings would tumble.
CALLER 12: I have to tell people they can't sing every week but I do it nicely, Joe.
- Joe's run ragged today. He thought he'd sent a young paranoiac over the edge. Then the You're A Star thing kicked off. He defends his employer's pathetic attempts at television by counting ratings. He has no understanding of entertainment. There's no consequences for stealing a bar of soap. Did the Romans went to the baths to watch soap dissolve?
15:28
JOERADIO TO PRODUCER OFF AIR: The lord jaysis. Dah was rough. The other day the listeners were tellin me I was the saviour of the Repubalick. Dey had tree prefabs down in the carpark of the Mater hospital ready to go, for de listeners' waiting rooms.
