Joe Duffy on Enda Kenny's train programme: "there have been mixed reviews; good reviews and bad reviews. But even a bad review is good for getting coverage in the current climate"
Caller: "Just seeing Enda Kenny's name alone was enough for me to switch off. I find him as boring and as dry as any human being could be"
Joe Duffy: "And would you not watch for the amazing drone footage?"
Caller: "No. He is a drone. The biggest drone in Ireland"
Another man has called in to tell the Enda hater to "grow up". He assures Joe that, if he looked into the first caller's background, "you'd be sure to find she has a Fianna Fáil background!" Amazing stuff
First caller now being shouted down by multiple men for not equally condemning Mary McAleese’s walking programme, which the first caller claims she hasn’t watched
Three different people have named Daniel O’Donnell among a list of politicians who have hosted tv programmes. Are they mixing him up with the Liberator or am I just loosing my mind??
A woman calls in to praise Iarnród Enda, saying "especially after everything that's happened with #MeToo , it's so important that we see men who are gentlemen on television"
A retired train driver has called in to add his voice to the chorus of people accusing all criticism of the train programme as being based in partisan opposition to Fine Gael
"Why wasn't it called Iarnród Someone Else? Enda Kenny is not the only person in the country, is he?"
"You are missing the point!"
"No I'm not, we'll have to agree to disagree"
Joe has finally got his guests to stop talking by reading out Miriam Lord's comment and is now playing a humorous song to them
JOE IS LEADING FOUR CALLERS IN SONG AND THEY'RE ALL LOVING IT
Joe responds to a caller's claim that he allows men to talk over women by saying "I was just reading an article I wrote myself" about women's role in 1916
"Let's forget about the vulgarity of money and politics - Enda Kenny has a special interest in trains, he seemed happy and relaxed and with his hair grown out like a sheep" - a well-heeled caller from Mayo
"Enda the story," says a caller, following it up with a few seconds of silence. Joe eventually asks if the caller has anything else to say, to which he responds "Did this happen before or after Golfgate?"
THEY'RE SINGING AGAIN!!!!
