  • Opinions Matter EXTRA – Get it Off Your Chest - Ep. 86
    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.

  • Victim of Child Sexual Abuse Supports Controversial Grandparents Consent Advert

    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.

  • Woman Who Knows Waterford House Fire Victims Says "All Drug Users Have Blood On Their Hands"

    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?

  • Friend of Jailed Activist Graham Carey Defends His Actions "He's Done Nothing Wrong"

    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.

  • Opinions Matter EXTRA – Get it Off Your Chest - Ep. 85

    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.

  • Graham Carey Made My Life Hell...I'm Glad He's Behind Bars

    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.

  • Anger After Calls Say Babies Should Be Registered Non-Binary at Birth
    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.
