Unscripted with Niamh O'Connor

Episode 83 is with James Doyle (aka Protein Bar Papi) in studio — and it’s equal parts funny, honest and a little bit unhinged
James chats about how he actually started on TikTok, the body dysmorphia that pushed him into the gym, and why chasing the “perfect” physique can get unhealthy fast. We get into bulking/cutting fear, steroids pressure, and the whole “looksmaxxing / tiptoe maxxing” madness online.
Then we pivot to Japan: convenience stores on every corner, insane public transport rules, Mount Fuji, Universal, and why you absolutely cannot be jaywalking over there.
Plus: Tiny Tangent on the worst part of adulthood… having to feed yourself constantly.

It’s Tangent Time #4 and Niamh is not holding back — today’s topic is horse racing and greyhound racing, and after one question box, it’s clear people feel VERY strongly about it.
Niamh breaks down what she learned from an RTÉ deep dive: ex-racehorses being slaughtered, turned into dog food, exported as horse meat, and the huge amount of state support going into the industry.
Then it gets even darker with greyhound racing: overcrowded rescues, discarded dogs, malnourishment, and why Niamh thinks you cannot rationalise it.

Part Two of Niamh and Jeremy Dixon’s “opinion off” is basically one long, honest debate with zero filter, and it gets a little heated!
They go deep on OnlyFans — Niamh opens up about doing it for two years, how dark it can get, the pressure to go more graphic for more money, and the reality that the internet never forgets. They talk regret, exploitation, age limits, the hypocrisy of men who pay for it, and how it can follow you for life.
And Jeremy gives his perspective as a parent of two young daughters.
Then it’s onto vaping: quitting smokes, kids on strawberry air, popcorn lung, and why Jeremy thinks vapes are the worst invention ever.
Plus a new segment: Jeremy’s gives his Tiny Tangent on why workplace birthdays are pure cringe.

Episode 82 is a different one — Niamh is joined in studio by the King of Opinions, Jeremy Dixon for an “opinions off” style chat, and it’s exactly as unfiltered as you’d expect from two people who love a debate.
They get into fame, boundaries and the whole Chappell Roan hotel drama — what actually happened, how clips get taken out of context, and why people decide they hate you after watching 20 seconds on TikTok.
Then it turns into a proper rant about kids and social media: under-16 bans, Snapchat, the manosphere, creepy DMs, and why parents need to stop handing children phones and blaming creators after.
Stay tuned for Part Two tomorrow! We just couldnt cut them short!

It’s Tangent Time week 3 and Niamh is officially triggering the Unscripted comments section — so for this week… she's laying off the men.
This episode is a full-blown rant about April Fools’ Day and why it needs to be banned immediately.
Fake boyfriend reveals, “I got emailed by Zara Larsson” lies, brand pranks, and people thinking they’re comedians when none of us are actually funny.
And the final straw? The Bound Apparel leopard print tracksuit prank that genuinely sent Niamh over the edge.
Conspiracy theories, airport “spotting” lore, actual tears, and a formal demand: make the tracksuit real, or your house is getting robbed.
