Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

A listener called Killian gets in touch after his friend — a Dublin-born black Irish model — appears in an ad for a well-known Irish company… and the trolling that followed is absolutely vile.

Adrian and Jeremy ask the question straight: why do some people get so triggered by a black person representing an Irish brand? Is it just plain racism, or is it being dressed up as “DEI” and “not representative”?

It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode, and Adrian and Katie are in full chaos mode from the White Sands Hotel in Portmarnock.

It kicks off with Adrian arriving in like a hero with two 99s… only to discover Katie can’t stand ice cream. From there it turns into a full-on listener pile-on: curry haters, coffee haters, trifle slander, ghetto food rows, and all the weird stuff everyone else loves but you can’t.

Then Angry Darren “boils my piss” over roundabouts, Katie admits to bus-lane behaviour, and the pair swap the biggest lies they’ve ever told… including a Garda escort to Fitzgibbon Street.

Michael O’Leary regularly calls for a two-drink limit in airports to tackle the rise in drunken disorder on flights. Adrian says it’s terrifying being trapped in the air with aggressive passengers… while Jeremy reckons if you “need” a few pints before boarding, you’ve got a problem.

Then Terry rings in and detonates the whole debate: he says his holiday starts in the airport, he can put away 7 or 8 pints before take-off… and he even admits he threw punches mid-flight after a disgusting comment about his missus.

Is a drink limit common sense, or punishment for normal people because of a few eejits?

A Bray mam gets in touch after her 6-year-old daughter comes in crying… because the little lad from across the road called her a “stupid, useless bitch”, told her “men are in charge”, and even threatened to “teach her a lesson”. All while she can regularly hear the parents roaring and tearing strips off each other at home.

So what do you do when you’ve no “proof”, only a seriously disturbing warning sign? Ring the guards? Call Tusla? Knock in to the mother… or mind your own business?

Daryl is planning his wedding… but his fiancée is “losing the plot” over one thing: his super-close friendship with a female colleague that everyone calls his “work wife”. They text most days, swap memes, and she even rang him late at night in bits after a row with her boyfriend — a call he answered while in bed with his fiancée.

Is his fiancée a jealous “bunny boiler”… or is Daryl crossing lines and emotionally cheating without realising it?
Can men and women be 'platonic friends' or is it always doomed to failure?
