  It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — which means one thing: pure, unfiltered randomness from Adrian and Jeremy.Adrian tells a mad Alzheimer’s nursing home story about being recognised after 30 years…Then it’s revealed Jeremy has basically never had coffee, the lads go down a rabbit hole on Tesla/Elon Musk, and they dig up an unbelievable Late Late Show clip of Gay Byrne explaining condoms on live TV.And yes… it somehow ends up with a Virgin Megastore “condoms through a hatch” story and a latex allergy revelation.

  Racist Who Was Outed By This Podcast Is Almost Sacked 25.09.2026 47min

  After our last episode’s “name and shame” of racist comments aimed at the new Drogheda Gogglebox girls, Adrian and Jeremy get a message that brings it into the real world: one of the men called out has been dragged in by management and given a formal warning.But is a warning enough?Today’s debate asks the bigger question: should there be real-life consequences for online hate — including losing your job — especially when you work alongside black colleagues and your employer is publicly linked to your profile?Callers clash over free speech, employment law, double standards, and where “a joke” stops being “incitement to hatred”.

  We Name & Shame Racists Over Comments About Black Gogglebox Stars 24.09.2026 54min

  Gogglebox Ireland is back… and so is the racist underbelly that a lot of people pretend doesn’t exist. Adrian and Jeremy react to the vile comments posted under a photo of four girls from Drogheda — Amanda, Amber, Janet and Joella — after local outlets shared that they’d be appearing on the show. What should’ve been a bit of local pride turned into an absolute onslaught of “go back to Africa” garbage, so bad that one station had to shut comments off. Callers weigh in on free speech vs hate speech, hypocrisy, “it’s just part of life” arguments, and what it’s like being black or brown and Irish in 2026.

  Locals Upset As Cabra Based Sex Beast Set To Be Released 23.09.2026 1t 4min

  A "paedo" who poses an immediate risk to young boys” is being released from prison — and he’s just one of 24 convicted sex offenders due out in the next couple of weeks. Adrian and Jeremy react to the shocking Irish Sun report and ask the big question: should Ireland have an app (or electronic tagging) that lets the public know when a known sex offender is living nearby?Callers are split. Some want names, photos and addresses online “for our kids’ safety” — others warn it’ll lead to mob justice, mistaken identity, and offenders being driven underground.So what’s safer: public alerts… or Garda-only monitoring?

  Mother Puts Young Teen On Contraceptive Bar And Jeremy Loses His Mind! 22.09.2026 48min

  A listener called “Tina” is raging after her sister-in-law brought a 15-year-old girl to the GP and had the contraceptive implant put in — purely to avoid a teenage pregnancy. Tina says she’s “only a child” and the doctor should be struck off. Adrian admits it doesn’t sit well… but asks the hard question: is contraception the lesser of two evils in the real world? Jeremy argues it’s basically giving a green light to underage sex — while callers hit back saying teenagers don’t always listen, and prevention beats a pregnancy at 15. Is it responsible parenting… or totally wrong?

  "Patriot" Wants Citizenship Revoked If You Don't Have 'Irish DNA"! 21.09.2026 1t 1min

  A video doing the rounds on The Liberal sparks a fierce debate on Opinions Matter: should Irish citizenship be based on “ethnicity” and even a DNA test… and should citizenship already granted be revoked? Adrian and Jeremy tear into what they call “Nazi-level” nonsense — but the conversation quickly widens into immigration, racism, and the reality of who actually qualifies for citizenship. Callers weigh in, including an Indian professional explaining the massive costs, strict work permits and years of paying tax before citizenship is even an option, while others argue the whole system needs tightening.

  Outrage When Caller Suggests Immigrants Shouldn't Have To Pay For Irish Citizenship 10.09.2026 54min

  The government is planning a major shake-up of Irish citizenship rules — including stretching the residency requirement from 5 years to 8, bringing in an English (or Irish) language test, and tougher checks around “self-sufficiency”. So is it fair… or just political optics? We hear from a New Zealander married to an Irishman, six months pregnant, working full-time as a solicitor — worried maternity and child benefit could count against her application. Callers clash over “welfare holidays”, deportations, and whether the €1,200 citizenship fee is a disgrace or just the price of a privilege.

  Caller Digustingly Blames Victims of Bullying "You Only Have Yourself to Blame" 08.09.2026 59min

  Should you be able to sue a school for bullying — even years later? Adrian and Jeremy dive into the idea of “historic bullying” cases, after hearing that some US states are moving towards laws that would let victims take action if the school knew and did nothing.Callers share emotional stories: being physically assaulted on school grounds, kids left suicidal, and parents being fobbed off with “we’ll look into it” while the bully is protected. Others argue suing would only punish today’s pupils and that you should “stand up for yourself” — sparking a furious on-air clash.

  Anti-Vax Mum Goes Into Meltdown With "Wild Conspiracies" 07.09.2026 57min

  Measles cases are soaring across Europe and the US — and Adrian and Jeremy are blaming one thing: falling MMR uptake fuelled by anti-vax “research” on Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. So should Ireland follow Italy and bring in consequences for parents who refuse routine childhood vaccines? No MMR, no creche… fines… even bans from school? Callers don’t hold back. One says it’s child neglect. Another says it’s personal freedom and nobody’s business. We hear from parents who refused every vaccine, others who are pro-vax but against “blackmail”, and a full-on shouting match about autism, trust, and conspiracy rabbit holes.

  "Foreign Born People Deserve Social Housing As Much As Those Born Here" 04.09.2026 53min

  Reform UK say social housing should go to British-born workers first — and foreign nationals should be pushed down the list. So Adrian and Jeremy ask: should Ireland copy it? Should being Irish-born matter more than citizenship, tax paid, or years spent here? The calls are messy, heated and brutally honest. From “House the Irish First” and claims the system is being manipulated… to the Croatian/Polish examples of people who’ve worked here their whole lives and could still be treated as “blow-ins”. Is it common sense prioritising locals… or discrimination dressed up as housing policy?
