It’s the special weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” edition of Opinions Matter — completely unedited, completely chaotic, and full of the stuff Adrian and Jeremy ramble about while the live show is building on Facebook.
Jeremy gets compared to Andrew Ridgely… and a full-blown row breaks out over whether it’s “Wham” or “Wam”.
There’s a “first world problems” session, including Jeremy expensing a Dolby Atmos soundbar and then getting complaints about the bass from the management company.
And wait until you hear what he did on his wedding night… it’s filthy, weird, and somehow all about money. -
Today on Opinions Matter, emotions ran high after we heard from a woman who says she's being vilified for having an affair with a married man â insisting she's done nothing wrong and is just as much a victim as anyone else.
The topic sparked one of the most explosive debates yet, with Adrian and Katie taking completely opposite sides. Is the "other woman" to blame... or should all the responsibility lie with the married partner?
There was a lot of anger on this podcast today!!!

A listener in the UK, Andy, is raging after a 10-year-old girl with autism and ADHD told his 8-year-old that Santa, the tooth fairy and “all that” aren’t real — leaving his daughter in bits and the magic ruined.
When Andy confronted the girl’s parents, he says they got defensive, refused to address it, and used the diagnosis as an excuse. Andy’s reaction (and language) sparks a huge debate.
Callers clash: should parents be teaching autistic kids what’s appropriate, or should everyone else show more understanding? And is it ever ok to tell your child to stay away? -
After the horror in a Tramore church, a listener called Megan asks a question thatâs been driving her mad: why are people instantly more obsessed with an attackerâs nationality and skin colour than the victim?

Should back-to-school allowance be for every family⊠or only those who pass the means test?
Adrian and Jeremy tear into a message from James, a Dad of four who says itâs âall or nothingâ: if low-paid families get the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance, why shouldnât everyone? Jeremy reckons working families are being punished, while Adrian says itâs there for people who genuinely need it. -
E-scooters wonât be banned outright, says the government⊠but the new rules are about to get very, very tough. So on this episode Adrian and Jeremy ask the blunt question: should e-scooters be banned completely?
With shocking injury stats from Temple Street, callers clash over whether these things are âdeath trapsâ or a vital way to get to work â with Jeremy fighting his wifeâs corner as a responsible rider.
From helmets, high-vis, registration and licensing, to âyup-brosâ flying around estates and parents ânot giving a fuckâ, the debate gets heated fast! -
Itâs the weekend âGet It Off Your Chestâ episode â uncut, unedited, and full of the most random ramblings you wonât hear on the weekday debates.
Jeremy goes into full Karen mode over âinvadersâ having cans on his precious Dublin 18 green⊠and somehow it turns into a row about Satzenbrau, class snobbery, and whether you should be allowed drink in public at all.
Then he takes aim at young people âliving their best lifeâ in Thailand, Patagonia and Indonesia â and claims thatâs why theyâll never afford a house.
And finally: are holiday brochures still a thing⊠or are you stuck in 1992? -
New figures show more than 6,300 people have been on Jobseekers Allowance for 10+ years â at a cost of around âŹ800 million. So Adrian and Jeremy ask the blunt question: is there any excuse on Godâs earth for staying on the dole that long?

A listener from Drimnagh says she confronted a local man in Brickfield Park who was allegedly taking photos of teenage girls â and she wants parents warned, and daughters âcovered upâ!

Italy has just passed new laws that would ban sex education in primary schools and make it opt-in (with parental consent) in secondary school â and itâs sparked a massive debate: should Ireland do the same?
Adrian and Jeremy ask if parents should have the final say on lessons covering homosexuality, gender identity and trans issues⊠or if thatâs a dangerous âslippery slopeâ that lets people opt out of anything they donât like.
Callers Jess, Chloe, Anthony, Amy and Aine go head-to-head on âtrans ideologyâ, tolerance, social media influence, misinformation like the âfurries in schoolsâ claim, and whether schools are educating kids⊠or âpushing an agendaâ. -
It’s the special weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode – completely unedited, totally random, and full of the kind of nonsense you’d never get away with on normal radio.
Katie admits she’s convinced she’ll die alone and be eaten by her cat… before the gang launch into the great cats v dogs war, and a surprisingly heated row over the most vile word in the English language.
Then it’s brand snobbery at its finest: Heinz vs Chef ketchup, HP vs YR brown sauce, Lyons vs Barry’s – and why some people deserve jail for “red sauce”.
And finally, Katie commits the ultimate sin… she buys her daughter pink Crocs. -
A loyalist bonfire in Moygashel, Co. Tyrone has sparked outrage after a mock-up mosque was placed on top with the slogan âsecure our borders, end the threat of radical Islamâ â and it was set alight early when police moved to remove it.
Adrian and Jeremy ask: is this pure sectarian, hate-filled carry on⊠or âjust a bonfireâ making a political point?

A listener says the people spreading it should be arrested for inciting hatred. Adrian and Jeremy tear into how easily social media turns a made-up rumour into âfactâ, and what that does to an entire community.
Callers clash over freedom of speech vs defamation, accountability for influencers, and whether forced retractions (or worse) are the only way to stop dangerous fake news. -
A horrific video from Ballymun sparked a rumour that âthree Somalians were spit-roasting a dog in a field" â and the story exploded across social media and even into the UK.
In this episode, Adrian and Jeremy call it out as âabsolute bollocksâ, asking one simple question: whereâs the proof? With the NSPCA confirming they investigated burnt remains, and eyewitness Keith describing melted wheelie-bin plastic and an axle â not a barbecue spit â the lads dig into how Chinese whispers turn into âfactsâ.
Live callers react, tempers flare, and the bigger issue is hammered home: a dog was killed, and fake news is distracting from justice. -

Today on Opinions Matter, we heard from a Garda in North Dublin who said he is fed up with members of the public branding GardaĂ as "traitors" simply for policing anti-immigration protests. He insisted that GardaĂ are just doing the job they're sworn to do, regardless of the issue.
But during the programme, everything changed when another person claiming to be a Garda sent us a message that stunned both the presenters and listeners. In it, they made explosive comments about the Irish public, praised foreign nationals as being "far nicer to deal with," and said they "hate dealing with" Irish people.
