Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

It’s Opinions Matter Extra — the uncut weekend ramble where Adrian and Jeremy go completely off the rails before they even get near a “topic”.

Jeremy is raging about having to rent a tux for a black-tie wedding in a “kippy” Clayton, and declares he doesn’t do second weddings… so no present. Then it’s golf talk, caddies “rubbing balls”, and a row over using the word “birds” in 2026.

But the real chaos kicks in when Jeremy admits the school barely recognises him at pick-up — and he refuses to put his kid’s “art” on their Smeg fridge!!!

A fed-up listener “Patricia” says her neighbour has just had baby number five — and claims neither parent has ever worked. She’s raging that working families are making sacrifices while the taxpayer “foots the bill”, and she wants child-related welfare supports capped after the second child.

Our Katie backed her up and said that nobody should have children if they cant afford them.... and then the phones light up!!

Ciara from “posh” Leopardstown says her family and friends are judging the fella she’s seeing… purely because he’s from Coolock and “sounds a certain way”. She likes him — they don’t — and the snobbery is doing her head in.

Adrian and Jeremy tear into class, accents and the unwritten rules of who you’re “supposed” to date… before Jeremy admits he couldn’t go out with someone with a “junkie voice”.

Then the calls explode: one dad proudly admits he judged his daughter’s boyfriend for his accent, his job in Tesco and even liking MMA — and gets absolutely slaughtered for it.

Reverse snobbery, council estates, and “standards” all get dragged into it.

A listener from Dublin 15 gets in touch about his neighbour who’s a Garda — and says he’s been getting dogs abuse in public, even when he’s off duty with his wife and kids, over the fuel protests.

Adrian and Jeremy ask: are Gardaí fair game for abuse just because they wear the uniform… or should off-duty officers be completely off-limits?

Callers clash hard. Some say it “comes with the territory”, others argue guards are only following orders, and a few insist they should refuse and walk away. The debate also hits heavy-handed policing, fake news about the PSNI, and that shocking off-duty Snapchat video doing the rounds.

Foreign national nurses in Ireland are now travelling to and from work in groups because of racially motivated abuse on the streets — and Adrian and Jeremy are furious.

They react to the INMO warning, ask why so many people are demanding “proof”, and tear into the excuses, the whataboutery, and the “it’s just words” attitude.

Callers argue back hard: one claims it’s exaggerated and “woke”, while others share what they’ve seen in hospitals and on the streets. Mo, who grew up in Ireland and later left, explains why she’d tell any doctor or nurse of colour: don’t come here.
