The most played episodes among Podcast App listeners.

  1. Number 1: "Foreign Born People Deserve Social Housing As Much As Those Born Here"

    Reform UK say social housing should go to British-born workers first — and foreign nationals should be pushed down the list. So Adrian and Jeremy ask: should Ireland copy it? Should being Irish-born matter more than citizenship, tax paid, or years spent here? The calls are messy, heated and brutally honest. From “House the Irish First” and claims the system is being manipulated… to the Croatian/Polish examples of people who’ve worked here their whole lives and could still be treated as “blow-ins”. Is it common sense prioritising locals… or discrimination dressed up as housing policy?

  2. Number 2: "My Two Kids Were Out of Control Teenagers...But There Was Nothing I Could Do"

    Up to 1,000 children in Ireland have been flagged as “prolific offenders” — so what do we do with the parents? After the M9 tragedy, a Fianna Fáil TD says mums and dads should be fined for their teenagers’ crimes, with money taken straight from wages or the dole. Jeremy says it’s the only way to force responsibility. Adrian says it’s pointless — punish the offenders, not the parents, because some families are already begging Tusla and the system for help. With raw calls from Jackie, Mick, Grace and Joanne, the chat spirals into house arrest, boot camps, and even vigilante “punishment beatings”. Where do you draw the line?

  3. Number 3: Caller Digustingly Blames Victims of Bullying "You Only Have Yourself to Blame"

    Should you be able to sue a school for bullying — even years later? Adrian and Jeremy dive into the idea of “historic bullying” cases, after hearing that some US states are moving towards laws that would let victims take action if the school knew and did nothing. Callers share emotional stories: being physically assaulted on school grounds, kids left suicidal, and parents being fobbed off with “we’ll look into it” while the bully is protected. Others argue suing would only punish today’s pupils and that you should “stand up for yourself” — sparking a furious on-air clash.

  4. Number 4: EXCLUSIVE - We Talk To Man Who Was Falsely Accused of "Gun Running Outside Tallaght Mosque"

    “Citizen journalists” — are they exposing the truth… or doing serious damage? Adrian and Jeremy call out a viral clip shared by Daz News claiming “guns” were being taken from a boot outside a mosque in Tallaght. Problem is: it wasn’t a mosque, and they weren’t real guns. Hamza, the Dublin businessman in the video, joins the show to explain they were airsoft rifles on private property — and says the misinformation has put his family, staff and businesses at risk. With live callers divided, the debate turns to verification, defamation, anti-Muslim hysteria, and whether social media pages should be held to the same standards as mainstream media.

  5. Number 5: Listeners Speechless When Mum Reveals Her Son Eats McDonalds 6 Times a Week

    Rachael is at her absolute wit’s end: her 8-year-old is such a fussy eater he’ll only eat McDonald’s chicken nuggets and chips (and a bit of toast) — and she’s getting torn apart for it, online and even by her neighbours. Adrian and Jeremy ask the big question: if your child literally won’t eat, what are you supposed to do… let them starve, or feed them what they’ll actually swallow? Live callers go to war over “lazy parenting” vs sensory issues, autism/ARFID, “McDonald’s is poison”, and whether “hunger is the best sauce” is real life or just something people say when they’ve no kids.
