Advertise on podcast: Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — the completely unedited waffle you don’t hear on the weekday debates, as Adrian and Jeremy kill time before going live. This one goes off the rails fast: the lads discover the only thing they truly agree on (they both hate Guinness), argue about vinegar, soup du jour and why restaurants should have a little bell on every table. Then it gets even stranger: a car valeter finds a crisp-sandwich wedding pack… and a butt plug… in a customer’s car. Plus: posh housewarmings in Dublin 18, media walls, “not eating homemade food”, kids with names like Maverick and Hercules, and Jeremy’s tragic lasagna-on-the-chin moment.

A North County Dublin school has told parents: no scary Halloween costumes, no masks, and definitely no prop weapons — even if they’re only plastic. One furious mam says her 6-year-old’s Michael Myers costume cost €40 and now he can’t wear it.

A Dublin Rape Crisis Centre consent video about grandparents hugging their grandkids has been pulled after the Minister for Justice called it “inappropriate” and “demeaning”. But is the country overreacting, or is the message being completely missed?Adrian and Jeremy tear into what the ad was really trying to say: consent isn’t just about sex — it’s about bodily autonomy and personal space, even with people who love you.Then the calls get intense. A survivor of abuse explains why being able to say “no” at home matters, while others argue the ad went too far and unfairly painted grandparents as predators.

The fallout from the horrific deaths of the English family in Waterford is still reverberating, and Adrian and Jeremy ask the blunt question: if you buy illegal drugs, do you have blood on your hands?Two listeners’ messages spark the debate — one from a woman who attended the funeral, and another from a partner of an addict who says she’s “sick to death of excuses” from "recreational users".Then the calls explode: is it really that black and white, or are dealers, recruitment of kids, and wider criminal networks the real story?

A painter and decorator originally from Egypt messages the show with a shocking story: while eating his lunch in his van near Swords, two parents knock on his window and accuse him of “trying to take children” — with one mother allegedly saying, “all you brown people want to take our children.”

Graham Carey has been jailed for incitement to hatred — and now his supporters are outside Mountjoy calling him a “political prisoner”, demanding his release and even name-dropping Elon Musk.Adrian and Jeremy go through the actual quotes that landed Carey in court, the “free speech” argument, and whether there really is a two-tier justice system when people claim “rapists and paedophiles walk free”.Then the calls kick off: a friend of Carey defends him others argue he was lucky not to be charged with more, and one caller says the only way to change anything is through the ballot box — not rants, threats, or “day of action” talk.

It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — the unfiltered bits recorded before the live show even starts, with Adrian and Jeremy talking absolute shite and somehow turning it into gold.Jeremy gets properly triggered when a couple beside his table walk out because his “raucous” kids are too loud. Then it’s peak immaturity as a French student called Guy lands in Ireland, and the lads explain why Irish people can’t handle that name.And wait until you hear what Jeremy did in a stranger’s bathroom… plus WWE tickets for grown men, Lego obsession, and a full-blown Home Alone argument.

A caller by the name of LISA rips into parents who make grandparents do all the child minding.. and don't even pay.. She didn't hold back on this! Prepare to be triggered!

Breaking news has us rewinding to a previous episode after truck driver Graham Carey is jailed for two years for incitement to hatred, following a livestream where he ranted about refugees and made violent, graphic threats.Adrian and Jeremy look back at how Carey built an online during COVID, then pivoted into anti-immigration agitation — while targeting them with outrageous, defamatory claims.Comedian and activist Therese Cahill joins to describe the horrifying DMs she received, including false paedophile accusations and chilling threats.They unpack where “free speech” ends, what incitement really is, and how quickly online obsession can turn sinister.

Ruth Coppinger is pushing new legislation that would allow parents to put an “X” on a child’s birth cert instead of male or female — and also add a non-binary option to Ireland’s gender recognition certificate. Adrian says it wouldn’t affect his life and asks: what difference does it make? Katie isn’t having it, calling it political correctness gone mad, arguing “science” is simple and that parents would be “indoctrinating” kids. Then the calls explode. Chris (planning a baby via surrogacy) says he’ll raise his child without assigning gender, while Vanessa argues sex and gender aren’t the same — and gets major backlash. Expect rows, shocking comments, and a heated finish.

Tracy Ann is due to give birth in December… but she’s issued a brutal ultimatum to her partner: their Siberian Husky "Gizmo" goes, or she goes back to her Mam’s. She says it’s for the baby’s safety — even though the dog has never shown a hint of aggression.Jeremy is firmly on “get rid of the dog” territory, while Adrian argues she’s massively overreacting and that responsible supervision and training is the answer.Callers go at it from every angle: dog trainers, rescues, new parents, “never leave them alone” warnings… and one message that shocks everyone — a one-year-old sleeping in a cot with the family dog in the room.Plus: listener shout-outs at the end.

A big decision is looming in Ireland: should the HSE fund weight-loss jabs like Mounjaro (and Ozempic) — free or subsidised — and if so, who actually deserves them?Adrian says if these injections keep people out of hospital, why wouldn’t we help. Jeremy isn’t having it, arguing most obesity is lifestyle and the taxpayer shouldn’t be funding “the easy way out”.Callers go hard on both sides: thyroid issues, diabetes, mental health, motivation, “lazy” accusations, and whether there should be strict criteria or case-by-case approval.

A listener message from Niamh sparks a heated debate on Opinions Matter: should Riad Bouchaker — convicted over the Parnell Square knife attack on three children and the stabbing of Leanne Flynn — serve his sentence in an Irish prison… or be deported to Algeria so the taxpayer isn’t funding him?Adrian and Jeremy ask the blunt question: why should we pay over €100k a year to house, feed and protect him — and is an Irish jail “too cushy”?Callers clash over justice, citizenship, prison conditions, victim impact, and the fear that if he’s sent abroad, he could end up released and back again.Plus, the first round of listener shout-outs from Ireland and around the world.

It’s the special weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — where Adrian, Jeremy and Katie chat pure random shite while the live show is building. Jeremy reckons his karaoke performance was iconic… Adrian hears it and calls it woeful, as “All the Leaves Are Brown” turns into a full-on massacre (with a video doing the rounds). Then the lads go in hard on the most mank thing you can do on a WhatsApp voice note: recording it while you’re masticating (or even… on the toilet). Plus: Disney Store lies, schools ringing home over a vomit, a surprise morgue story, and the outrageous claim that Jeremy opened the first Supermac’s in 1978.

Faith is 36, single, and says dating has become impossible for one reason: she’s a mum of four kids under 10. First dates go great… until she mentions the kids — then she’s ghosted, every time. Are men assuming she’s looking for a “new daddy”… or are they just running from the reality of it?Adrian and Jeremy ask the blunt question: is four kids simply too much “baggage” for most people, even if the Dad is present and she’s only looking for love?
