  Adrian Brands Jeremy A Toffee Nosed P***k...Over Drug Testing Dole Recipients 11.11.2026 49m

  Should everyone on the dole be drug tested to get their payment? A listener called Val is raging about a 26-year-old neighbour she says has been on jobseekers for three years, spending his €254 a week on weed. Jeremy says it’s “my tax money” and wants monthly drug tests — fail it and you’re cut off. Adrian says it’s a dangerous road: once you start policing weed, where does it stop… drink, cigarettes, vapes? Live callers go at it: vouchers instead of cash, pin-protected cards, targeting repeat offenders, disability payments, and the bigger “where are our taxes going?” argument — with Ukraine and immigration dragged into it too.

  Adrian & Jeremy Lose It With People Defending Rapist Russell Brand 10.11.2026 51m

  Russell Brand has been jailed for 10 years and 6 months for rape and sexual assault — and Adrian and Jeremy are raging at the amount of people still backing him online, calling it a “stitch-up” because he “spoke out against the establishment”. The lads dig into how conspiracy culture, anti-vax bandwagons and the sudden “found God” act can whip up a loyal fanbase — even when the evidence is overwhelming. Live callers clash hard: some demand supporters be named and shamed, others question the timing, while women ring in furious about victim-blaming, weak sentences, and the madness of defending a convicted rapist.

Is it time to “lock down” estates on Halloween night… bring in the army… water cannons… harsher sentences… or eviction for anyone in council housing involved in serious antisocial behaviour? With anonymous messages from locals and a disguised voice note from an emergency services worker, this one is raw, angry, and impossible to ignore.

Adrian and Katie clash over whether she should report him to the company, reply to him, or just block and move on.

So what’s the answer: a youth curfew for October, or is that punishing decent kids who are doing nothing wrong?

  Opinions Matter EXTRA – Get it Off Your Chest - Ep. 86 24.10.2026 59m

  It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” episode — the completely unedited waffle you don’t hear on the weekday debates, as Adrian and Jeremy kill time before going live. This one goes off the rails fast: the lads discover the only thing they truly agree on (they both hate Guinness), argue about vinegar, soup du jour and why restaurants should have a little bell on every table. Then it gets even stranger: a car valeter finds a crisp-sandwich wedding pack… and a butt plug… in a customer’s car. Plus: posh housewarmings in Dublin 18, media walls, “not eating homemade food”, kids with names like Maverick and Hercules, and Jeremy’s tragic lasagna-on-the-chin moment.

  Victim of Child Sexual Abuse Supports Controversial Grandparents Consent Advert 22.10.2026 55m

  A Dublin Rape Crisis Centre consent video about grandparents hugging their grandkids has been pulled after the Minister for Justice called it “inappropriate” and “demeaning”. But is the country overreacting, or is the message being completely missed?Adrian and Jeremy tear into what the ad was really trying to say: consent isn’t just about sex — it’s about bodily autonomy and personal space, even with people who love you.Then the calls get intense. A survivor of abuse explains why being able to say “no” at home matters, while others argue the ad went too far and unfairly painted grandparents as predators.
