Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

It’s Opinions Matter Extra: the Uncut Version — Episode 55 — where Adrian and Jeremy ditch the usual format and spend 10–15 minutes “shooting the breeze” completely unedited.

This one goes everywhere: shout-outs (and a row over how to pronounce “Emma… Lee”), tapas menus, dessert obsessions and the dreaded pre-marriage course.

Then it gets properly manky as a home microscope reveals the horrifying “filth” living in your bedsheets — and somehow that turns into tog arguments, prostate confessions and dirty hands!!!

Plus: do racehorses have a “real” name when they retire, and would you actually holiday in Dubai right now with everything going on?

Siobhan is raging: her next-door neighbours are smoking weed non-stop in the front and back garden, and the stink is drifting straight into her house. The kids can smell it, and she says it’s got so bad they’ve had to leave the house at times. If you're a weed smoker or life next to one, this is the topic for you

A listener from Shankill says there’s a WhatsApp group doing the rounds where parents are buying stolen gear for their kids — jerseys, TVs, phones… the lot. So we ask the question: could you accept something “off the back of a lorry” if it meant saving a few bob?

Adrian and Jeremy end up in a massive row, with callers admitting they’d take the bargain all day long… as long as it wasn’t robbed from someone’s house.

“Most antisocial behaviour and crime happens in council estates”… and one listener says the solution is simple: stick CCTV on nearly every lamppost in every council estate.

Callers are split down the middle: some say only criminals fear cameras, others say it’s a disgusting invasion of privacy and a lazy substitute for real policing.

A follow-up to yesterday’s Ballymun row — and this time, the “proof” has landed. Adrian and Jeremy confirm they’ve seen the video showing a family (believed to be Roma) being brought to view the boarded-up council house in Shangan Green… and they ask the uncomfortable question: if they move in, will they be safe?

From “house the Irish first” to EU rights and the housing list, callers go at it from every angle — including homelessness, long waiting times, and whether Dublin City Council has a duty of care to rehouse families where they won’t be targeted.
