Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

A vile video of a woman spitting in the face of a Dublin Bus driver sparks a huge row on Opinions Matter — and opens up a bigger question: is public transport in Dublin (and beyond) just not safe anymore?

Adrian and Jeremy ask if buses, the Luas and the DART have become “the peasant carrier”… or if that’s pure snobbery. Callers don’t hold back: “dregs of society”, “cesspit”, and stories that’ll turn your stomach.

Former driver James lists years of abuse — bottles, rocks, fireworks, even a screwdriver attack — and says drivers are told to stay in the cab and often finish the shift anyway.

Kim is back with the same row for the second year running: she wants to bring her young daughter for the flu vaccine in the chemist, and her husband is dead against it — “kids need to build up their immune system” and “no chemicals”.

Adrian and Jeremy tear into the arguments, the myths, and the “anti-science” attitude that’s exploded since COVID, with stats on kids ending up in hospital with flu and why the vaccine is recommended.

Callers go at it from all angles: “leave her be, she’ll be grand”, “it’s preventative like a seatbelt”, talk of Big Pharma, “poison” claims, and whether a parent should just go ahead and do it anyway.

A Nigerian TikToker living in Dublin goes viral after a “free meal in Free Ireland” video — and the internet loses its mind. Was she bragging about living off the taxpayer… or taking the piss out of the “patriots” who assume every black person here is a freeloader?

Adrian and Jeremy dig into the clip, the outrage, and the way it was shared with the context cropped out.

Grace joins the show to explain the sarcasm, the racist abuse she says she gets daily, and the vandalism she’s faced at home.

Callers are split: harmless satire or bad taste in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis?

A Balbriggan housing estate is in bits over one house flying an Israeli flag out of a bedroom window — and a listener says the neighbours are “going ballistic”, the guards won’t act, and the owners are basically laughing at complaints online.

Adrian and Jeremy ask: is it their right to fly whatever they want on private property… or is this pure trolling in the middle of a genocide row and the Ireland vs Israel matches?

Callers and voicenotes kick off fast — accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, “keep foreign flags out”, comparisons to Palestinian flags and even swastikas, and a full-on shouting match on air.

It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode – the one where Adrian and Jeremy (and the listeners) just shoot the breeze about whatever random madness comes up during the week.

First up: a WhatsApp message demanding they talk about “men with mickeys playing women’s GAA” turns into a surprisingly serious chat about trans policies… before immediately derailing into toilets, sprinklers, and whether urinals should be normal in your house.

Then it’s chaos from there: Jeremy admits he’s never watched Father Ted or Derry Girls, they argue over “invites” to funerals, and Jeremy’s buzzing about his new car… that has absolutely nothing fancy in it.
