Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode… which basically means Adrian and Jeremy sitting in the studio talking the greatest load of shite before the proper show kicks off.

From the random discovery that you can’t get a beef burger in McDonald’s India, to the age-old question of what you call two grannies (and why “nana” is apparently controversial), the lads bounce from topic to topic at warp speed.

Plus: a full-blown row over blowing your nose into a cloth napkin in a restaurant, the weirdest place people listen to the podcast… and Jeremy’s confession that he brushed his teeth with hair removal cream while half asleep.

"My son was born male and is now transitioning to female... My husband won't accept it so i no longer want him around".... On this episode of Opinions Matter, we hear from a mother who has accepted her trans child... but her husband won't

After the M9 “joyriding” tragedy, a Cork politician says anyone caught driving the wrong way up a motorway should face attempted murder charges.
Caller Francis (who lost her daughter on the the M50 in an horrific crash) came on air and gave a powerful statment on the "Lucky Dip" joyriding gang

Are TikTok tributes and AI “angel wings” a sincere way to grieve… or pure cringe and attention-seeking?

Adrian and Jeremy dig into the big question: can you judge how someone mourns, especially when the person who died never consented to be “plastered” online?

Callers go hard on both sides. Dave explains why his Facebook is a memorial to his late partner. Trevor says grief should stay private and tells how a graveside moment was filmed and posted without permission. Others argue those posts keep memories alive, while some draw the line at coffin photos and over-the-top edits.

This episode is a follow-on to our most listened-to show ever, as Adrian and Jeremy tackle the fallout from the M9 “joyriding” tragedy — and the argument that the online anger is “only because some were travellers”.

After a listener sends in a Facebook post claiming the hate is racist, we ask: is this just deflection from what actually happened, or is anti-Traveller abuse genuinely adding fuel to the fire?

With calls from Hughie Maughan, Joanne and Chloe (and plenty of rows), we debate sympathy, accountability, TikTok culture, and why the real focus should stay on the innocent family still in hospital.
