Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

It’s Opinions Matter Extra (Episode 54) — the weekend episode made up of the random off-air waffle Adrian and Jeremy come out with while the Facebook Live is building.

This time they’re raging about the most insulting thing a listener can say in Spar (“I used to love listening to you”)...Jeremy floats the idea of dyeing his hair… only to get absolutely slated for it.

Then it’s onto religious relatives buying catechisms for “secular” kids, why people post videos back-to-front, and Jeremy’s meltdown when his 11-year-old’s mate shows up with a newer iPhone than he has.

All that, and plenty more nonsense!

Jeremy loses the plot after catching a gang of 11/12-year-olds swinging off (and basically destroying) newly planted trees in his local green… and he lets rip with a few choice words.

But was he right to “verbally reef” kids he doesn’t even know — or was the Dad dead right to tell him to mind his own business?

Adrian says you’ve no right to discipline someone else’s child (and definitely not with bad language). Jeremy says if people don’t call it out, areas get wrecked and kids learn nothing.

Penneys posted a new range of kids’ pyjamas to celebrate Eid… and somehow it sparked nearly 2,000 comments, rows, boycotts and accusations that Ireland is being “taken over”. Penneys even had to delete loads of replies and put out a statement about inclusivity.

Adrian and Jeremy ask the simple question: why are people so triggered by a pair of pyjamas? Callers clash over Islamophobia, “woke” brands, halal meat, Sharia law, and whether celebrating Eid is no different to Christmas or Paddy’s Day.

Two Burke women — Martina and Ami, mother and sister of jailed teacher Enoch Burke — are being sent to prison for two weeks for contempt of court after “shouting and roaring” so loudly the judge said he couldn’t be heard. Are they being persecuted… or is it simply consequences for wrecking courtroom decorum?

Adrian and Jeremy tear into claims of a “woke government”, arguments about proportionality, and whether jailing them just creates martyrs — with callers split right down the middle, from “lock them up longer” to “this is a family being silenced”.

Should parents let a 16-year-old drink at home… or is it “enabling” and totally wrong?

Claire (a recovering alcoholic) is furious at her sister-in-law for letting her newly-16 niece drink alcopops and wine in the house because “it’s safer than fields”. Jeremy is having none of it — and shocks everyone by saying he’ll breathalyse his own kids when they’re teenagers.
