Woman Who Miscarried Baby Urges Social Media Users To Stop Sick Jokes

A Garda has been hit with a two-year driving ban after a judge ruled his attempt to chase two illegal scrambler bikes amounted to dangerous driving — mounting kerbs, flying down a busy road, and all in the middle of heavy traffic and kids heading to school.So should Gardaí be allowed to chase scramblers and e-scooters, or is it just too risky for the public?The debate explodes. Some callers say the judge has handed “scrotes” a green light and the guard should get a medal… others insist rules are rules, and a patrol car can’t become a weapon.

A Dublin taxi driver from Pakistan, Mohammed “Atti”, went viral after a shocking video showed an Irish passenger roaring abuse at him over the Sunday starting fare of €5.40… an argument over about 60 cent. In this special episode, Adrian and Jeremy speak to Atti exclusively about what really happened before the recording started, why he stayed so calm while being threatened and racially abused, and why he turned back to the pub for CCTV. Atti also opens up about life as a taxi driver in Dublin, the abuse some foreign drivers face, and how tech like recordings and dash cams can keep drivers safer.

April Fool’s Day brings out the worst pranks on social media… and today Adrian and Jeremy debate one that’s everywhere: the fake pregnancy announcement. A blogger is pleading with people to stop posting “positive test” pics and scan photos for a laugh — because for anyone dealing with infertility, IVF, miscarriage or stillbirth, it can be genuinely triggering and cruel. Callers are split right down the middle. Danielle and Sarah share heartbreaking fertility journeys and ask for basic mindfulness… while others, including Jude, insist “offence is taken, not given” and tell everyone to toughen up. It gets heated, fast.

On this episode we hear Katie’s voice note from the car that gets played… and it exposes a level of road rage that has Adrian questioning everything he thought he knew about their “work wife”. Then it turns into a full-blown debate: voice notes or phone calls — which one is the real violation?Plus: filthy studio glasses, court stenographers vs. just recording the whole thing on your phone… and Jeremy’s story about a suppository that you genuinely won’t forget.

Fiona (19) says she’s finally happy… but her dad has “gone psycho” because her boyfriend is 40. He won’t let him near the house, makes her get picked up around the corner, and has even threatened to “beat the shit out of him”. So is the father just protecting his daughter, or interfering in an adult relationship? Adrian argues that once she’s being treated with respect, age shouldn’t matter — while callers say it’s “creepy”, “predatory” and a massive red flag. Plus, a twist when a message comes in from Fiona’s mother claiming they actually started dating when Fiona was still in school.

Sky have just gotten a High Court order forcing Revolut to hand over the names, addresses and bank details of 304 “dodgy box” subscribers — and for the first time ever, they’re not just going after the sellers… they’re coming after the users. So is it fair? Should people be worried… or is it just a scare tactic? Adrian and Jeremy get into the legality, the GDPR confusion, VPN “workarounds”, and the big question: is streaming Sky/Netflix/Disney for free actually theft, or just people trying to survive ridiculous prices? Callers are raging, shameless, split down the middle… and it gets very heated. Plus, another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway.

A young Irish “influencer”, Kyle Carroll, is going viral for a simple message: get the family back to church… and Ireland (and the world) might be a better place. Adrian and Jeremy ask the question a lot of you are thinking: is that faith… or just indoctrination? Callers are split right down the middle. Some say Mass brought community, morals and a “compass” that kids are missing now. Others say you don’t need religion to raise decent children — and that Ireland has a very dark history with the Church. And just when you think it can’t get more heated… a listener texts in with a “fiery pits of hell” message that proves Jeremy’s point about “Christian hate”. Plus, another travel mug giveaway.

A racist “content creator” calling himself *The Irish Viking* filmed a selfie video in Millennium Park, Blanchardstown — with kids clearly in the background — ranting about “foreigners” in a children’s playground. Adrian and Katie ask the obvious question: who the hell thinks that’s acceptable? Callers are furious, the debate gets heated, and the conversation moves into immigration, Islam in Ireland, Eid celebrations in GAA clubs, and whether social media platforms should be removing this kind of content (or leaving it up to be ridiculed). Plus, stay to the end for your chance to win an Opinions Matter travel mug.

It’s the weekend “Extra – The Uncut Version”… and as always, it’s completely unedited, totally chaotic, and all over the place. This time the gang go down a rabbit hole about “non-PC” expressions you supposedly can’t say anymore — from “as mad as a box of frogs” to “as black as the ace of spades” — and somehow it turns into a full-on debate about English, daffodils, and why people can’t tell the difference between “his” and “he’s”. Then there’s cocktails in public (with umbrellas), “Turkey teeth”, “Turkey tits”… and Jeremy’s wild idea to set up a GoFundMe for a hair transplant in Turkey. Would you donate?

Today on Opinions Matter we heard from a Finglas mother who is upset that the local school wont remove an autistic child from the classroom who has allegedly been hurting many children in the class... This really divided opinion and things got very heated on air!!
