Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

The guys debate the huge backlash over Simon Harris saying the dole is a safety net, not a way of life — and ask straight out: why should anyone be on the live register year after year when there’s jobs everywhere?

This week on "Get It Off Your Chest", Adrian and Jeremy go down a rabbit hole of “unfortunate names” — from a fella called Adolf to the nightmare of sharing a name with infamous criminals… and the lengths people go to just to avoid the association.

Then things take a turn as Jeremy mourns the “death” of his beloved bath, Timmy DeBath, after the plumber whips it out while he’s at work — and he’s convinced his wife will regret it.

And if that wasn’t enough, there’s deli-counter drama involving a rogue hair, wedding socks, open fires, and Jeremy cringing at the sound of his own voice on old radio clips.

A wave of hoax bomb threats across Europe has airlines diverting flights and landing under escort… and now it’s hit closer to home, with threatening emails forcing evacuations at RTÉ and Newstalk.

On this episode of Opinions Matter, Adrian and Jeremy ask: should we be genuinely worried, or is this just scaremongering designed to terrorise the public and disrupt daily life?

A listener, Damo, is raging after being hit with a one-year driving ban for drug driving… and he insists it was “only one joint” and that it didn’t affect him in any way.

Is a year off the road fair, or is the law flawed when cannabis can show up in your system long after you’re sober?

Live callers light up the lines — from people demanding longer bans, to cannabis smokers arguing they can drive “perfectly fine”, to others calling for roadside impairment tests and better education instead of straight bans.

GTA 6 is on the way… and it sparks a massive row on Opinions Matter: should kids be allowed play over-18 games, or is it madness?

A listener, Abby, says her ex is planning to buy the new Grand Theft Auto for their 11-year-old — even after she read up on the sex, drugs and violence in it. She’s sick to her stomach, and she wants to know what she can do.
