Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

Ciara from “posh” Leopardstown says her family and friends are judging the fella she’s seeing… purely because he’s from Coolock and “sounds a certain way”. She likes him — they don’t — and the snobbery is doing her head in. Adrian and Jeremy tear into class, accents and the unwritten rules of who you’re “supposed” to date… before Jeremy admits he couldn’t go out with someone with a “junkie voice”....

A listener from Dublin 15 gets in touch about his neighbour who’s a Garda — and says he’s been getting dogs abuse in public, even when he’s off duty with his wife and kids, over the fuel protests. Adrian and Jeremy ask: are Gardaí fair game for abuse just because they wear the uniform… or should off-duty officers be completely off-limits? Callers clash hard. Some say it “comes with the territory”,...

Foreign national nurses in Ireland are now travelling to and from work in groups because of racially motivated abuse on the streets — and Adrian and Jeremy are furious. They react to the INMO warning, ask why so many people are demanding “proof”, and tear into the excuses, the whataboutery, and the “it’s just words” attitude. Callers argue back hard: one claims it’s exaggerated and “woke”, while o...

Lauren joins Adrian and Jeremy to tell the terrifying story of being abducted after hailing what looked like a legitimate taxi in Dublin city centre — complete with roof sign, stickers and licence details — only to discover it was a fake. She describes how the attacker drugged her, assaulted her and how the case later exposed a pattern of “copycat” offences linked to the same Romanian national, wh...

It’s the weekend “Opinions Matter Extra” uncut edition — where Adrian and Jeremy leave the serious stuff at the door and let the pre-show rambling run wild. From the mystery of Chinese menu numbers to Jeremy’s legendary “69” order (and the IBS that ruined it), the lads go off on one about food, fortune cookies, and why peas and sweet corn should be banned from fried rice. Then it gets even more un...

Dean says he was sacked from his job during probation after using the word “kn**ker” about himself — and insists it wasn’t aimed at Travellers. A settled Traveller colleague reported him, and now he says you “can’t say anything” anymore.

The fuel protests have entered a new phase — Gardaí say they’re now “blockades”, not protests, and the Defence Forces could be brought in to clear key routes and fuel depots. With the M1 and even the M50 being shut down, are the protesters after going too far… or is this the only way to get the government to listen? Adrian and Jeremy take live callers from both sides: small business owners being “...

Dublin city centre is brought to a standstill as farmers, truckers and others hit the roads over soaring fuel prices — and the Taoiseach warns there “will be penalties” for turning O’Connell Street into a car park. Adrian and Jeremy ask: do you fully support these protests… or have they gone too far? Natasha tells a shocking story of being stuck on the M7 for nearly two hours on the way to a serio...

Becky got in touch with Adrian and Jeremy with a dilemma that’s wrecking her head: should she expose her former school bully… who’s now a secondary school teacher with a decent social media following, dishing out “holier-than-thou” advice to parents and students — including videos about bullying. Becky says this woman made her life hell for six years, and seeing her play the perfect educator onlin...

It’s Opinions Matter Extra — the uncut, totally unedited weekend episode… and it goes completely off the rails. Adrian and Jeremy kick off with a “studio scandal” involving a can of 7Up and a certain someone’s lipstick (yes, it’s as disgusting as it sounds), before somehow ending up in a full-blown argument about beetroot on a turkey roll and why everyone seems to hate it. Then it’s onto Jeremy be...

Valerie (not her real name) hasn’t seen her dad in nearly 38 years — no birthdays, no school days, no contact. Now it’s eating away at her, especially knowing he went on to have other children and seems to be part of their lives… while she feels like a “dirty little secret”. She tells Adrian and Jeremy why she wants answers, why she’s afraid to ask her mam, and what happened when she tried reachin...

A simple poster for Trans Day of Visibility goes up on the Opinions Matter Facebook page… and within minutes the comments turn vicious. Adrian and Jeremy end up pulling it down, shocked at the level of hate aimed at the trans community. Babs from Knocklyon tells them about her niece — a trans dental nurse — who had a patient refuse treatment just because she’s trans. So where does this bigotry com...

A Garda has been hit with a two-year driving ban after a judge ruled his attempt to chase two illegal scrambler bikes amounted to dangerous driving — mounting kerbs, flying down a busy road, and all in the middle of heavy traffic and kids heading to school. So should Gardaí be allowed to chase scramblers and e-scooters, or is it just too risky for the public? The debate explodes. Some callers say...

A Dublin taxi driver from Pakistan, Mohammed “Atti”, went viral after a shocking video showed an Irish passenger roaring abuse at him over the Sunday starting fare of €5.40… an argument over about 60 cent. In this special episode, Adrian and Jeremy speak to Atti exclusively about what really happened before the recording started, why he stayed so calm while being threatened and racially abused, an...

April Fool’s Day brings out the worst pranks on social media… and today Adrian and Jeremy debate one that’s everywhere: the fake pregnancy announcement. A blogger is pleading with people to stop posting “positive test” pics and scan photos for a laugh — because for anyone dealing with infertility, IVF, miscarriage or stillbirth, it can be genuinely triggering and cruel. Callers are split right dow...

On this episode we hear Katie’s voice note from the car that gets played… and it exposes a level of road rage that has Adrian questioning everything he thought he knew about their “work wife”. Then it turns into a full-blown debate: voice notes or phone calls — which one is the real violation? Plus: filthy studio glasses, court stenographers vs. just recording the whole thing on your phone… and Je...

Fiona (19) says she’s finally happy… but her dad has “gone psycho” because her boyfriend is 40. He won’t let him near the house, makes her get picked up around the corner, and has even threatened to “beat the shit out of him”. So is the father just protecting his daughter, or interfering in an adult relationship? Adrian argues that once she’s being treated with respect, age shouldn’t matter — whil...

Sky have just gotten a High Court order forcing Revolut to hand over the names, addresses and bank details of 304 “dodgy box” subscribers — and for the first time ever, they’re not just going after the sellers… they’re coming after the users. So is it fair? Should people be worried… or is it just a scare tactic? Adrian and Jeremy get into the legality, the GDPR confusion, VPN “workarounds”, and th...

Clodagh from Santry is in bits after a visit to her GP. She told him she and her boyfriend are trying for a baby… and he told her to lose weight first — at 19 stone, he said she should drop “at least seven stone”. She left the surgery in tears and even talked about reporting him. So was the doctor bang out of order for giving advice she didn’t ask for… or was he just doing his job and looking out...

A young Irish “influencer”, Kyle Carroll, is going viral for a simple message: get the family back to church… and Ireland (and the world) might be a better place. Adrian and Jeremy ask the question a lot of you are thinking: is that faith… or just indoctrination? Callers are split right down the middle. Some say Mass brought community, morals and a “compass” that kids are missing now. Others say y...

A racist “content creator” calling himself *The Irish Viking* filmed a selfie video in Millennium Park, Blanchardstown — with kids clearly in the background — ranting about “foreigners” in a children’s playground. Adrian and Katie ask the obvious question: who the hell thinks that’s acceptable? Callers are furious, the debate gets heated, and the conversation moves into immigration, Islam in Irela...

It’s the weekend “Extra – The Uncut Version”… and as always, it’s completely unedited, totally chaotic, and all over the place. This time the gang go down a rabbit hole about “non-PC” expressions you supposedly can’t say anymore — from “as mad as a box of frogs” to “as black as the ace of spades” — and somehow it turns into a full-on debate about English, daffodils, and why people can’t tell the d...

Today on Opinions Matter we heard from a Finglas mother who is upset that the local school wont remove an autistic child from the classroom who has allegedly been hurting many children in the class... This really divided opinion and things got very heated on air!!

On this episode, Adrian and Jeremy ask: was it “dark humour”, or something far more dangerous? Should the people involved be named and shamed… arrested… or educated?.... We also spoke to a man who didn't see the harm in it and even admitted to have a "giggle"

Racist abuse aimed at Irish rugby debutant Edwin Adogbo has now been handed to the Gardaí — and we ask the question: what should actually happen to the people posting this filth online? This topic took a sinister turn when the team were contacted by a vile racist troll
