Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

Up to 1,000 children in Ireland have been flagged as “prolific offenders” — so what do we do with the parents? After the M9 tragedy, a Fianna Fáil TD says mums and dads should be fined for their teenagers’ crimes, with money taken straight from wages or the dole.

Jeremy says it’s the only way to force responsibility. Adrian says it’s pointless — punish the offenders, not the parents, because some families are already begging Tusla and the system for help.

With raw calls from Jackie, Mick, Grace and Joanne, the chat spirals into house arrest, boot camps, and even vigilante “punishment beatings”. Where do you draw the line?

It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode… which means Adrian and Jeremy (and Katie) go completely off the rails in the best way.

Jeremy gets a free family brunch in Barry & Brown thanks to a mystery benefactor, and the lads immediately turn it into a full-on hunt.

Then it’s war: King Crisps vs Tayto vs Manhattan cheese & onion, and whether a sausage is “just a sausage” (spoiler: Jeremy says yes and gets slaughtered).

And Katie joins to admit she’s basically flirting with ChatGPT… and also reveals what gives her “the fear” — and the ultimate ick: mismatching underwear.

Rachael is at her absolute wit’s end: her 8-year-old is such a fussy eater he’ll only eat McDonald’s chicken nuggets and chips (and a bit of toast) — and she’s getting torn apart for it, online and even by her neighbours.

Adrian and Jeremy ask the big question: if your child literally won’t eat, what are you supposed to do… let them starve, or feed them what they’ll actually swallow?

Live callers go to war over “lazy parenting” vs sensory issues, autism/ARFID, “McDonald’s is poison”, and whether “hunger is the best sauce” is real life or just something people say when they’ve no kids.

Caroline (not her real name) says she’s sick of the judgement: four first dates in five months… and she slept with all four lads. She’s single, she likes sex, and she reckons it can build intimacy — so why is everyone calling her “easy” and claiming she’s wrecking her chances of a proper relationship?

Adrian and Katie go to war over “self-respect”, double standards, and whether having sex on the first date instantly makes you “not girlfriend material”.

With callers and messages ranging from fair, measured takes to absolutely brutal slut-shaming, plus a fiery row about misogyny, Andrew Tate vibes, and why Ireland still can’t talk about sex normally.

Channel 4 aired a documentary called The Great ADHD Myth… and it’s sparked absolute outrage, with charities accusing it of being biased and basically implying ADHD isn’t even real.

Adrian and Jeremy dig into the claims: is ADHD a real neurodevelopmental disorder, or are we slapping labels on normal childhood behaviour because kids are glued to screens, eating shite and living a totally different life than 50 years ago?

With live callers sharing raw, personal stories — parents battling schools, adults diagnosed years ago, and a massive row over medication, “zombie” kids, self-diagnosis, and whether ADHD is actually overdiagnosed.
