Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

Halloween in Dublin turned into something straight out of The Purge… and this week Adrian and Jeremy are asking how the hell it was allowed happen.

They react to the shocking scenes from Cherry Orchard: stolen cars, bonfires, fireworks, terrified residents locked in their homes, and claims that even emergency services couldn’t safely get in.

Is it time to “lock down” estates on Halloween night… bring in the army… water cannons… harsher sentences… or eviction for anyone in council housing involved in serious antisocial behaviour?

With anonymous messages from locals and a disguised voice note from an emergency services worker, this one is raw, angry, and impossible to ignore.

It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — this week it's Adrian and Katie talking absolute random shite… as usual.

They try (and mostly fail) to find Katie a nickname with help from ChatGPT, argue over “ghetto” foods like Swiss roll, Pot Noodles and IKEA meatballs, and share the most ridiculous snobbery you’ll hear all week.

Katie admits she had a full-on panic in the “tunnel of death” car wash with the kids in the back, while Adrian confesses his own fear: MRI machines… and Katie's fear of women pilots!!!

They also get into car regs, first cars, and whether you’d change your name if you could?

Alex gets onto Opinions Matter with a serious gripe: his girlfriend has dropped from 13 stone to 9½, looks “a million dollars”… BUT now she’s going out every weekend in “next to nothing”, plus flirting and laughing with random lads.

After he tells her it makes him uncomfortable, she snaps “shut the f**k up” and warns she’ll dump him if he brings it up again. Is that pure manipulation and gaslighting… or is he a jealous control freak trying to police what she wears?

Adrian and Katie clash hard, and live callers tear strips off each other over respect, boundaries, and whether there’s a time and a place — especially for a 70th birthday party.

Katie gets a WhatsApp from a mechanic after dropping her car into a well-known garage… and it’s not just “your car is ready”. It’s “Hi pretty girl” and an offer to wipe a €400+ bill in exchange for dinner.

Creepy breach of GDPR, or just a lad “shooting his shot” the old-school way?

Adrian and Katie clash over whether she should report him to the company, reply to him, or just block and move on.

Live callers explode the debate: romance vs professionalism, privacy vs overreaction, and what this kind of behaviour says about dating in Ireland now.

Halloween season is here — and Elaine from Clondalkin says she’s genuinely terrified to walk her dogs after dark. Bangers going off, gangs of teenagers roaring abuse, bonfires, intimidation… and her mother in Finglas is afraid to even leave the house in the evenings.

So what’s the answer: a youth curfew for October, or is that punishing decent kids who are doing nothing wrong?

Adrian and Katie clash over curfews, “vigilante patrols”, and whether parents should be hit with fines when their kids are caught out causing chaos.

Live callers share shocking stories, and the debate gets heated fast.
