Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

It’s the special weekend “Opinions Matter: Uncut” edition — and it’s as random as it gets as Adrian and Jeremy waffle while waiting for the live show to start.

First up: is it rude or fair enough to ban people from eating in your car… especially when Jeremy eats like the Cookie Monster!! Then the lads derail into “strings to your bow”, DJ gigs, wearing Under Armour is for people in council estates....and Jeremy admits he only learned what “redacted” means because of the Epstein files.

And just when the sad music comes out for a “diagnosis”… it turns out the real tragedy is bowling alleys (or are they?).

This Opinions Matter Episode is like the Jeremy Kyle Show!
A woman came on air to defend her extra marital affair that broke up a family...and was then upstaged by a man who's shagging his team-mates wife!!
Plus: travel mug winners, and the next giveaway question at the end.

A public sector worker is facing disciplinary action for refusing to use a new colleague’s they/them pronouns — and Jay says it’s “bullshit” and a “disgrace”. Adrian and Jeremy ask: in a workplace, is it basic respect… or forced ideology?

Live callers explode the lines. Some say they’d “lose my job first”, call it delusion and bad grammar, and even argue they wouldn’t hire someone who uses they/them. Others say work policies are about professionalism, not personal beliefs, and that it’s no different to respecting a name.

Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.

Social housing tenants in a brand-new Dublin 8 apartment complex say they’re being treated like second-class residents — because they’re blocked from the gym, sauna, cinema room and other “communal” amenities… while private renters paying up to €3,500 a month get full access.

Adrian says it’s nobody’s business what a council tenants pay and that this is pure segregation. Jeremy says “you pay for what you get” and calls the complaints pure entitlement.

Plus: a travel mug winner, and another mug giveaway question at the end.

Four years on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has Ireland’s welcome worn out? Adrian and Jeremy read a message from Andre, a Ukrainian dad who fought for six months, now runs a coffee shop here, pays tax, and says the online “go home” abuse is getting worse.

Live callers are split: some say “keep the workers, send the rest back”, others argue refugees are being scapegoated while the housing crisis rages on. From ARP payments and “entitlement” claims to PTSD, jobs, and whether people should be forced home when the war ends — the debate gets heated fast.
