Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

00:00 It's Ireland's most talked about podcast. The only podcast with live callers and live debates. It's Opinions Matter with Adrian and Jeremy. 00:15 Ah, yes. Thank you, Shona. That's Shona, by the way, the girl who was speaking just a moment ago. A lot of people may not know her name. Well, why would you know her name? She records those, they're called intros and she records the intro. Hasn't she got a great voice? She really does. Anyway, Shona is her name. 00:32 Hope you're all in good form. 00:34 Thank you for tuning in to the latest episode of Opinions Matter. We call this one Get It Off Your Chest. We release it at the weekend. You could be listening to it at any day of the week. And it is Get It Off Your Chest because we talk about random stuff. We get stuff off our chest. And I have the list of things that are discussed in the next 50 minutes in front of me here. And I'm just going to read them out to you and they will make absolute no sense probably. But it's all included in this podcast and I can guarantee you'll get a laugh out of it. Oh yeah! Also... 01:23 A discussion about King Crisps versus Tato Crisps. Yes, we do very controversial stuff on this episode. King Crisps versus Tato. I couldn't tell the difference. Adrian gets really upset with me about it. And also, random conversation all to do with sausages. Sausages! 01:39 And... 01:41 Something that I said about sausages that it didn't go down very well. A very controversial comment I made about sausages and people were not happy. So all that, lots more besides over the next hour of this podcast. You're going to enjoy it. I can guarantee you this. So sit back, have that cup of tea beside you. Hopefully it's from one of these, the Opinions Matter official mugs. Have your cup of tea, have your cup of coffee, or if you're driving around in the car, why am I whispering? And enjoy the latest edition of Opinions Matter. 02:16 Let's get it off your chest. Now, first off, let's talk about the search. 02:20 Yeah, first off. Will it be, though? Yeah, absolutely. Of course it would. Nothing else coming before this. This is literally the start of Saturday's episode. I'll get it off your chest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But supposing you listen backwards. Who listens backwards to a podcast? Can you answer me that? Seriously. 02:37 Who answers backwards? Who listens backwards? Some people watch movies backwards. I watched Titanic backwards once. Great movie. 02:43 The ship comes up out of the water. 02:45 The ship comes up out of the bed of the sea. 02:48 Jack hops onto the piece of wood. Okay, Rose then dumps him. Rose dumps him, yeah. 02:54 And they all live happily ever after. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to Opinions Matter and Get It Off Your Chess, where we talk about anything and everything. And Jeremy, here's the thing, yeah? Yes. The search has begun for the mystery benefactor. Have you ever heard of a benefactor? Someone who benefits from something. No, do you not know what a benefactor is? Beneficiary. No, a benefactor. I'm the beneficiary. You're the beneficiary, correct? Yes, yes. It's in a will. In a will. 03:22 You're the beneficiary, yes. But the benefactor is the gift giver, if you will. Yeah? The gift giver. 03:28 So, ladies and gentlemen... By the way, I'd say, just on the side, I'd say you leave me something in your will. I'd say you've... Have you got your last will and testament done? No. Oh, have you not? No, actually. Have you not got a will? No. Well, there's a will. There's a way. But there's no will. There's no will. There's no way. Have you not made a will? No, I must actually. Especially given your recent cancer scare. It was two and a half years ago. Thanks for asking. But it was a scare. It was a scare, yeah. Pretty sure it was. It could have gone either way. Thankfully it didn't, yeah. I'm still here. 03:56 Thankful. Some people aren't thankful. But anyway, because of your cancer scare, and thankfully, or not, depending on your view of things, you could have gone. And there was no will. 04:11 Why didn't you make a will? I'll work on it. Why, have you got a will? No. But, jeez, I'm not going to die tomorrow like you. 04:18 Looking at the state, I think it's highly likely. 04:22 Highly likely. 04:23 That I'm on death's door. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But why didn't you make a will? You literally... 04:30 I knocked on heaven's door. No, here, hello. What? You'll be going down further. 04:35 You'll be going to warmer climates. 04:36 Which suits you, by the way, because you're always waiting holidays. 04:38 I do love my holidays. 04:39 You'll be going to the Matagorda, let's just say. The Matagorda. 04:42 What windy. 04:44 But when you... 04:46 Hell knocked on your door, yeah? Yeah. I said, Adrian, I'm taking you. It's the devil. Really? Yeah, that's what he talks like. Anyway, come here. I have a question to ask you. Who is the benefactor? So, guys, I want to share this story with you. I put it on social media. And let me take you back to... 05:05 Last weekend. There's Kellyanne straight away wanting to know, Kellyanne, who paid for dinner. Will you relax? And I'll tell you. I'll tell you who paid for dinner. You don't know. Dara Byrne Gregory. Yeah. Which is weird that he has two surnames. What's weird about that? 05:18 Loads of people have double-barreled names. He's 29 and he has a will. 05:21 Now, I'm very impressed, Dara, with your... Your forward planning. Your forward planning. Well... 05:27 What sort of stuff could a 20... What are you leaving them? Your action man figures? 05:32 Your match attack cards? 05:35 Your porn mags? For all you know, by the way, you're smart. No, no, no. Here, here. You're a smart prick. None of our listeners own property. We just stopped at all. He could be loaded. All our listeners are on HAP. Someone's going to leave me HAP payments. 05:50 What could a 29-year-old put in the wheel? You can have me a BMX bike that's out the back garden. 05:57 We'd be interested to know, Darren. Yeah, Darren, without giving away what's in your wheel, do what's in your wheel. We want to know what's in your wheel. Because I'm turning in now. When I was 29, Darren, I owned three things, yeah? Yeah, go on. A sock called Mandy, which I kept for you. You had a name for a sock? Oh, you always have to name the socks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a name. 06:15 Have you a name for all your socks? 06:17 No, just this particular sock. My favourite sock. Well, it was a Nike sock originally, but I changed the letters and it was Mandy. Mandy. So I had three things, yes? Yeah. Mandy the sock. Right. Yeah. A collection of Playboy magazines. 06:32 Right. With what's her name in the front? The blonde one from Baywatchers. The blonde one from Baywatchers. Pamela Anderson. Yeah, Jesus. What? Yeah, okay, go on. And a Lego train set. 06:43 Imagine if I had gone down to my... Is it a solicitor that does your will? Who does your will? 06:49 Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's not. Who is it? 06:51 Him. The oath, the minister of oath. Or what's the word they call the people who do wills? 06:56 A solicitor. Is it a solicitor? Yeah, a solicitor, yeah. 06:58 So can you imagine if I'd knocked on the solicitor's door and... 07:03 He said, what's wrong? I want to make a wheel, I want to make a wheel. Okay. First of all, are you of sound body and mind? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely, sound body and mind, yeah. Although someone who's mad isn't going to go, no, I'm mad, I'm not sound body. 07:17 And then he'd say, so what do you bequeath? Is that the word? That's the word, yeah, bequeath, bequeath. What do you bequeath to your loved ones? Now, first of all, at 29 years of age... You weren't married, you didn't have kids. The only thing I loved was my right hand, by the way, at 29. 07:32 This is how I played golf. I played a lot of golf. All I would have had to leave them was a crusty old sock and a Lego set. 07:40 Now, anyway, just to get back to the benefactors. Yeah, the benefactors. Sunday afternoon gone, as in last Sunday. Yeah. Although it's hardly this Sunday coming. That wouldn't make sense. No, it wouldn't, no. I brought the family. Unless it's Sunday when you're listening to this, but it wasn't today. 07:54 No, the day you listen to this, it didn't happen. It's already happened. Correct, yes. I think it's a safe place. Yes, yes, yes. 07:59 So brought the family out for a brunch, a late lunch, to Barry and Brown in Carrickmine. Lovely, lovely spot. I know you've been there before. Lovely spot. 08:09 I recommend the full grill, by the way. 08:12 You can tailor to make the full grill. That's what I like about Barry and Barry. 08:14 That's not one of those posh full grills, is it? No, no, I'm posh. What's so posh about a grill? 08:19 You know it's those posh sausages and all that. I don't know, it's council estate food. Oh, great. Excellent. I'm there. No, but you can tailor make the grill. So... I don't like mushrooms on a grill. If you put mushrooms on a grill, I'll punch the waitress. But that's a bit harsh now, if you don't mind me saying. Oh, I've been known to punch waitresses. For an old mushroom. For a mushroom. If a mushroom even fucking goes near my plate, I'll upend the plate. I love mushrooms. But what you can do, and this is not an ad for Barry and Brown, by the way. 08:45 Well, it kind of is. 08:46 St. Carrick Mines Retail Park. Open seven days a week. 08:50 And if you'd like to sponsor the Opinions Matter podcast, by all means, get in touch. I'll actually ask Martin. He's the owner. 08:55 Well, you haven't asked them yet. No. 08:58 Anyway, go on. If you don't want the mushrooms, you can substitute. It's like a football game. 09:04 Number 15, mushrooms has been replaced by number 23, crostinis. What the fuck are crostinis? 09:10 The little potato things. That's probably actually what you exactly announced at a St. Pat's match. What, I say crostini? 09:17 You just make up shit. There's no player called crostini. You wouldn't know listening to your announcement. That's your announcement. They substitute. You're not hearing me. The importance of substitution. Yeah, no, I get it. Yeah. So if there's certain things on the menu. What's a crostini? 09:33 Maybe I got it wrong. The little potato things. The little potato cakes. Potato cakes? Potato things. 09:39 Crustinis. Farrells. They call them farrells up in... Farrells are... No, they're more like hash browns. Up in the UK, they call them farrells. Don't say that to most people. What? Don't call it the UK. Manchester and London. Farrells. Farrells are... Farrells. Northern Ireland, farrells. So I don't like mushrooms on my... And I don't like a fried tomato. No, I don't like the tomato either. So I substitute the mushrooms for farrells. Okay. And I substitute the tomato for extra toast. Every one's a winner. Very good. What about the beans? 10:09 Where's the beans? Oh, they come in a little ramekin, a ramekin. 10:13 What, so the beans don't touch the egg? Is that it? 10:17 I don't like... If I see that, have you ever seen me flick the bean before? 10:22 No. Yes, you have. How would I possibly see that? You saw me flicking the bean before. No. 10:29 nearly hit someone in the eye. 10:30 Oh, that time, yeah. 10:31 In Cleary's, we were in Cleary's. Yeah, and you flicked one of your baked beans because you didn't like the look of them. Yeah, we were living in Cleary's window and someone brought us in, a lovely, what was it, Cafe Colmar, I think. Yeah, it was lovely, yeah. They brought us in at breakfast one morning and said, there you go, lads, your celebrities, here, have a breakfast. And there was a bean on my egg yolk and I literally, in Cleary's window, there's people looking at the time, in Cleary's window, I flicked the bean. Yeah. You did. And it hit you in the eye. You did. You did, yeah. I remember well. Anyway, sorry. So you had your big brekkie. So we had a brunch, myself and the family. 11:02 Yep. And it was quite, like, five eating, like, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't cheap. 11:09 But Barry and Brown, very reasonable prices. Get yours now. 11:11 Yet you haven't even once thought to ask them would they like to sponsor this podcast. Fucking hell. It's not my job. Just give them free advertising. I'm not a salesman. It's about time you became one. Bring in some money into the company. You're useless. Do you want to go there? You're a useless turd. That's all I have to say to you. And by the way, crostinis are bread, you fool. They're not potatoes. So what are those little roundy things? 11:31 They weren't farrells either. What were they? I don't know. Anyway, cubed potato. We'll call it that. No, it wasn't that. It doesn't matter. They're big in America. They have a little bit of onion in them as well. Hash brown. Hash brown. You fool of a man. Thank you. Thank you. Hash brown. Crostinis. 11:46 I don't even know what a crostini is. Anyway, you had your breakfast. Your underpants are crostini. You had your brekkie. No, brunch. Brunch, son. It was breakfast. No, it was brunch. No, it was brunch time. It wasn't breakfast time. What time is this? It was early to mid-afternoon. And you were eating rashers and sausages. 12:01 No, you were scum of the earth. Anyway... 12:04 A fried breakfast before or after 12 o'clock. 12:07 Peasants. Oh, I like an all-day breakfast. Thank you. I do myself now, to be honest. Come on, anyway. You are a peasant. I'm not. That's the difference. You got your brekkie. Got your... No, brunch. And it was lovely by all accounts. We all... What do you mean by all accounts? You're eating the fucking thing. 12:21 So you can't account for it. You have to be able to account for it. You consumed the breakfast. By all accounts it was lovely. No, no, no. You had it. Was that the wrong expression? Yes. By all accounts means other people told me. But you actually ate the shagging thing. 12:35 I never knew that's what I meant. I never knew that. No, I'm saying by all accounts it was lovely. No, no, no. You can't say that. 12:43 Did you consume the breakfast? Yes. Or the brunch or whatever the hell it was. 12:46 Oh, absolutely. Scoffed it. 12:46 So you don't need an account of it. 12:48 You know you're a first-hand reporter. Okay, let's move on. So by all accounts, it was a beautiful brunch. It wasn't, though. It was an amazing brunch. Did all the other family members say... Everybody loved it. Barry and Brown, can't go wrong. Thank you. Green slogan first. Barry and Brown, can't go wrong. Yeah, but if they'd like to advertise in this podcast... 13:07 Like, seriously? I don't think they even like the podcast, to be honest with you. So, anyway, anyway, I called for the bill. 13:18 I hope you didn't fucking click your fingers or I'll box the... Oh no, I did a little clap. Dash. I will box the lugs off you. Dash. That's what I did. No, you didn't. 13:26 And called the waitress over. Hello, server. Server. Hello, server. Can I have the bill, please? You're in Carrick Mines, not the... 13:36 If you want them to sponsor, it'd be nice. 13:38 Yeah, come on anyway. 13:41 Sorry, I'm just having a drink. 13:43 And the waitress comes over, lovely, lovely person, and she says, sorry, sir. 13:48 She didn't say sorry, that's way too horrible. 13:51 just a moment ago you were talking about crostinis on your breakfast I got it wrong it wasn't a crostini okay and I called I said can I have the bill please and she says no your bill has been taken care of and guys to say I fell off the chair would be a exaggeration because I didn't that would be ridiculous me falling off the chair but to say by all accounts I fell off the chair 14:11 So everybody else told you that you fell off the chair, but you didn't actually fall off the chair. 14:15 So by all accounts, I almost fell off the chair. And I said, what's going on? And she said to me that there was a couple sitting at the table opposite you and they saw who it was. And they said, who are you? Yeah, but that's we'll come to that in a second, by all accounts. And she said that when the man saw who you were, 14:36 Or you are. People can take out a double-barreled shotgun, no? 14:40 That's not that kind of place. I know you dine in places like that, but no, it's classy. Judges and all eat there. Judges? Judges. Barry and Brown. Yeah, Judges. 14:50 Justice Balls, whatever his name is. Justice Balls. 14:53 He's sitting over in the corner, is he, with his wig on? Yeah, but no, they don't. 14:58 By all accounts, they don't wear wigs. 15:00 And so this guy, who I don't know, literally paid for... No, I wouldn't like to put a price on the meal. I don't know. But you do put a price on it. No, I wouldn't like to. But by all accounts... Did you see the bill? I know I can actually say that because... You don't actually know. I didn't see the bill. But five people eating it. My kids, they eat quite a bit. They're savages. They're well-renowned. Well-renowned. A meal for five? 15:26 Yeah, nice. My wife smashed avocado on rye bread. Oh, made you want to puke? No, that doesn't come cheap. Although the price on Barry Brown are very reasonable for smashed avocado. 15:36 Yet you'd never ask them to advertise on the podcast. No, no. So, think outside the box. 15:43 By all accounts, I will. So, somewhere out there is a good Samaritan. They paid for your breakfast. They paid it forward. And I've been... When my wife turned around, the first thing... She's so lefty, it's not even funny. 16:00 She's lefty. Yeah, what did she say? She said, oh, because someone paid for her lunch, well, you should pay... I didn't even know what pay it forward meant. Do you know what pay it forward means? No, I don't, no. When someone does something good for you, you pass it on. Remember the game you used to play when you were a kid? What game? Pass it on? Pass the parcel. Remember, pass the parcel. Pass the parcel on. But you rip off a bit of paper first. Okay, it's nothing like that game. But by all accounts, she wants me to now pay it forward. So what, you need to go and buy lunch for somebody else? 16:27 What sort of a lefty is she? What does she want you to do then? What? She wants me to pay it forward, to pass on the good deed onto someone else. And I thought about on this podcast, I thought about asking people to come on and beg. 16:39 And beg? Beg for my money. Yeah, beg for my money. So come on and literally tell me how great I am and I'll give you 50 quid. That's not passing it forward. My wife, by all accounts, called me a wanker. 16:50 By all accounts, did she say it straight to your face? Then you don't need an account of it. She said you're a wanker. 16:56 So I don't know how to say it. So to the individual who obviously thought I was in Barry and Brown the other day. Yeah, they thought it was you. Yeah, they thought it was me. 17:04 I know, they knew it wasn't you because there wasn't a pint of Guinness in front of the breakfast. They don't do Guinness and Barry and Brown. That's why you don't go there. I do go. I've been there. Have you? I've been there, yeah. Casey Taylor goes there as well. Does she? Yeah, she does. Casey will be... A frequent, by all accounts. 17:17 By all accounts, right. Anyway, to the individual, whoever it was, put your hand up. Claim ownership. Yeah. Let us know who you were. The mystery benefactor. 17:27 But I think they're not Adrian's. Meaning? 17:30 You're an Adrian. 17:32 But obviously I'm an Adrian. 17:33 Adrian is a person who does a good deed but lets everybody know about it. That's fucking you. Remember you took in orphan kids or something like that and you had to tell everybody about it? 17:40 Oh, I did tell everyone about that, yeah. 17:42 Adrian took in a couple of orphans a couple of years ago. 17:45 Now, I take in orphans... Well, actually, they weren't orphans, believe it or not. No, they weren't. They were just from Ukraine. Oh, so you lied about that as well. No, they were Chernobyl kids. Chernobyl kids, which is great. 17:54 Well done. Yeah, it was brilliant. Adrian took in Chernobyl kids a couple of years ago. Now, I take in Chernobyl kids every year, every Christmas. 18:03 Where? 18:05 Where? 18:06 Into a boat. You take Chernobyl kids into your house. Yeah, but I just don't talk about it. No, you don't take any. But you would never know. 18:14 What was the name of the last one you had in your house? Gunter. Gunter! That's not even a Ukrainian name. I'm getting weirder by the name. 18:23 But the point is, to the person who doesn't want to be known, who paid for Jeremy's lunch, I'm sorry you accidentally bought it for Jeremy thinking it was me. There you go. 18:34 And I know you don't want to come forward and that is fine, but I just want to say, oh, Joe, I know we've been laughing and joking about this, yeah? I want to thank you genuinely from the bottom of my heart. That was such a lovely thing to do. It was a very nice thing to do. 18:45 Maybe that individual, whoever you may be, maybe you'd ask Barry and Brown to sponsor the Opinions Battle podcast. 18:50 You're fucking... Like, seriously, you've no sales technique or etiquette at all. I've no pushing me. No. That was a beautiful... You were talking to my wife. She says that about me as well. Yeah, no, she's right. She says one of my character... 19:02 Character flaws. Flaws, yeah. Yeah, if you will. By all accounts, she says, one of my character flaws is that I'm not very pushy. 19:10 Yes, no, you're not. That I'm not. So when you had a really... She's always talking about my long finger. Really? Yeah, she's always... I have noticed that that middle finger is very long. 19:24 She always says, Jeremy, of all the men I've known, you have the longest finger. Yeah, no, she's probably right, yeah. They are abnormally long. No, it's a hypothetical long finger. It's not a real long finger. Why would you have a hypothetical long finger? What's that word? 19:39 It's not an actual finger. 19:41 That is an actual finger. I can see it on your hand. 19:43 I can't deal. Anyway, to that person... Sorry you bought the breakfast for the wrong person. Yeah, but did you know a few years ago Adrian brought in Chernobyl kids? How did you know about it? Oh, every social media platform. He actually paid to promote the post on social media. He was paying Facebook. Oh, shut up, you fool of a man. 20:02 Anyway, to that person, you dirty looking gobshite. Why didn't you ask Barry and Brown to sponsor the Opinions Matter podcast? 20:08 That's so mad for Barry and Brown, isn't it? It certainly is, yes. 20:11 Now, Adrian, you are a very intelligent man and you have a sales... A sales head. You have a sales head. I do, I do, yeah, yeah. How much would that have cost in ad? Fucking thousands. 20:22 In ad revenue. In ad revenue. If you were to, give me a number. Barry and Brown, if somebody actually mentions this podcast to you, you'll know that it would have paid to advertise with the Opinions Matter podcast. 20:32 No, no, sure, they've got the advertising for free now. And I'll get another free lunch next week. Happy days. Everybody's a winner. Apart from you, of course. You get nothing out of this conversation. 20:40 Opinions Matter. Opinions Matter. 20:44 What have you got for me? What have you got for me? The bang of cheese and onion when you walked in the door. What cheese and onion were you eating? 21:06 How are you? 21:06 You could have said this to me off air. We could have dealt with it. 21:09 No, no, no, but I like to spring things on you. 21:12 I don't like airing my dirty laundry in public. Why? What's cheese and onion crisps got to do with dirty laundry? You're saying I'm smelly. Yeah, you are a bit smelly, yeah. I had a packet of cheese and onion crisps with my lunch. But I want to know what brand they were because they're particularly pungent. Well, no. Did you like that word? No, I've used that word many, many times. Pungent? Yeah. Here's the thing, guys. 21:32 I had a roll about an hour ago with turkey, cheese, and beetroot. Now, I know beetroot is a contentious issue among most people. A lot of people don't like it. A lot of people find it disgusting. 21:48 But I, for one, love a bit of beetroot. Love a bit of beetroot. I do love a bit of beetroot. Anyway, with the roll, it's a nice vegetable, isn't it? It is, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, go on, anyway. 22:01 So, with the roll, I had a packet of crisps, and I took the wrong packet off the shelf. I took king crisps. Oh, yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Let me have my say. Why are you interrupting me? Yeah, go on. King crisps, yeah. And I had a packet of king crisps. And I'll tell you, lads and girls, there is no... You might argue over this, and people might get upset about it. There's no difference between a packet of king crisps and potato crisps. There absolutely is. No, there's not. 22:28 Why do you think they make them? 22:29 They're made by the same company. I had them in my gob. 22:35 Yeah. That's the noise I make when I'm eating. 22:37 It's disgusting, but yeah, go on. Yeah, yeah. That's the noise I make when I'm eating. 22:43 You can't eat crisps silently. You're a cookie monster. You can't eat crisps silently. You can't eat them silently, but you don't have to make that masticating noise. Anyway, oh no, I wasn't masturbating while eating crisps. Jesus. Masticating, I said. Oh, masticating, sorry. What does masticating mean? Chewing. Chewing, okay. 23:00 And I was eating the crisps and then I finished the crisps and I said, oh, they were nice. And then I looked at the package and I was like, oh, they weren't tato, they were king. Now, can I say to you, they are the exact... No, they are not. 23:11 What? No, they are not. They are completely different. No. They have a completely different flavour. Why do you think the same company actually makes them? Is it the same company? Yeah, it's the same company. 23:21 But I think it's silly that there's two products. It'd be like... You know why Opinions Matter is so successful? Because there's nothing else like it. There's no other podcast in the podcast world. Don't even, not even, forget about Ireland and England. In the whole world, there's no other podcast where two women are on shout and the best part of you should have ran down your mother's legs and stuff like that. 23:39 Which is what was said on yesterday's episode. What was said, yeah. If your mother had a swology, you wouldn't be here. That's what she said as well. High point for the podcast. Yeah, it was. 23:49 We put that one in for the award, yeah. 23:52 And that's why Opinions Matter is moderately successful because there's no other podcast. 23:58 And what are you saying about King Crisps? There's no point in having two things in the market that are the exact same. They are completely different and I'm sure any regular crisp eaters will agree. Now, if you want a mega packet of crisps, by the way, Manhattan cheese and onion crisps. Oh man, they are to die for. I didn't even know they... Yeah, they're in a black packet. To die for? Oh, they're savage. So you'd literally die for them? Oh, they are. They are that nice. 24:25 If I had a packet of Manhattan crisps... Yeah, in the black bag, yeah. Are they made in Finglas? Yeah, they are. Oh. I'd nearly stab you for them. They're that nice. They're gorgeous. So does everybody in Finglas give their kids Manhattan crisps for their dinner? Because Finglas parents don't cook dinners. What? A kid in Finglas doesn't have a wholesome meal and donkeys. The problem with Manhattan crisps is they're hard to get. You can't get them in every shop. They're hard enough to get. 24:48 Anyway, my point is... 24:49 But I would assume, and pardon me for chiming in here, O'Garrett says, yeah, they're very smelly, Manhattan crisps. Are they? They're gorgeous. They're massive. But my point is, when you come to King and Tejo, they're both made from potato. Yeah. A potato's a potato. 25:03 No, not necessarily. There's a bit of spuds. Spuds are spud. No, they're not. Spuds are spud. Why do you think there's all different varieties of potato? They're all different. 25:10 Well, I didn't know there was different varieties of potato. What? Different varieties? Yeah. 25:15 Now you're going to say there's a different variety of carrots. 25:18 Well, you can actually get different coloured carrots, believe it or not. You don't see them here, but you can get different coloured carrots. There's different types of potato. Yeah. See, I don't do any of that choice. 25:26 Care pinks. Care pinks. 25:28 Care pinks. You know Brian. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Care pinks. Yeah, pink hairs. Pink hairs, yeah. Roosters. Whites. There's loads of different potatoes. You fool of a man. Oh. So a potato isn't just a potato. I never knew that. 25:42 They come in all various shapes and sizes. The only thing I thought was either a baked potato or a baby boiled. That's the only potatoes I thought existed. No. But anyway, I didn't know, so I don't know why King are even in the marketplace. Lads, you need to pack it in. 25:55 They do not because they're a completely different flavour. Why is there no other podcast like this? 26:01 Because it wouldn't succeed. Everybody else has sense. 26:03 Because it wouldn't succeed. If someone else started up a podcast just like this. Called Opinions Don't Really Matter At All. 26:09 Or whatever the case may be. 26:10 Yeah, yeah. It would fail miserably. Would you agree? Oh, no. There have been those who've tried and failed. Oh, take us on. That's what I say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take us on. They told me to shut up. They did tell you to shut up. Who? No, that's... What about you talking about? 26:23 Other podcasts have failed dismally. Yeah. Abysmally, by the way, is the word. 26:27 No, failed abysmally. 26:28 Oh, yeah, okay. I'll go with that. 26:31 But anyway, sorry, the point I was making was King Crisps are made by Tejo, by the same company, yeah? Yeah. But when they're making the crisps, they do it on a different day to Tato Crisps. They use the same production line. 26:44 This is very boring. 26:46 But why would they do them on a separate production line if they were the same crisps as Tato? They're not. They're distinctly different. Does anyone else agree with me? King Crisps taste different from Tato, even though they're made by the same company in the same factory. 26:59 This isn't the main topic, by the way. I have an even better... Well, no, you actually... You dissed King Crisps. 27:07 No, I said they both taste the same. They don't taste the same, though. You're a fool of a man. 27:10 It'd be like someone starting up a podcast tomorrow where people argue with each other and calling this... Opinions don't really matter at all. Thoughts matter. Thoughts matter. It wouldn't work. The market is saturation. There's only room for one Adrian and Jeremy. Right. But king crisps have been around as long as tater. What do you expect them to do? Just pack it in? I hadn't even heard of them until a couple of years ago. Never even knew they existed. King crisps? No. Are they British? 27:34 No, they were Dublin. 27:35 Why are they called king? Then we don't live in a monarchy. Ah, we used to. What? 27:38 We used to. Oh, when they came out, we had a king. I know. I don't know. But anyway, the point I'm making is king crisps and tater crisps are completely different. 27:48 My kids actually exist because of cheese and onion crisps. That's a very random thing to say. Your kids exist because of cheese and onion crisps. Yeah. Explain. Years ago, before I met my current wife, Wait, have you had more? Well, you never know what... Oh, you're planning another one? No, were you ever planning another one? No. You never know what the future... You never know what... See that corner there, Adrian? Look out the window. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what's around that corner, do you? I do know what's around that corner. As if it's that traffic light. Yeah, yeah, and the bus stop. Oh, the bus stop as well. 28:18 Yeah, yeah. 28:18 Yeah, the bus terminus is just around that corner. Is that where the terminus... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beside the Martello tower? Yeah, the 42 bus terminus is just there, yeah. 28:25 Generally, you never know what's around the corner, so who knows? But you do if you're concentrating on your driving. No, I'm talking about marriage. Anyway, my current wife, the reason I'm married to this particular woman and that we have kids together, I went on a date back when I was single. 28:40 Okay. 28:40 With a girl. And the date went really, really well. I've told my wife this story. She thinks it's fascinating. And it went really, really well. Okay. And we went out for a couple of drinks. Yeah. She ordered a pint at the pub, so that was never going to be marriage. Daphne, could you marry someone who drinks pints? 28:58 My wife drinks pints. She doesn't drink them out of a pint glass, though. 29:00 Then it's not a pint! No, no, no. My wife drinks a pint, but it's not in a pint. No, no, no. Shut up for a second. 29:07 She gets a pint, and then she pours it into a half-pint glass. What? Yeah. She just won't drink it out of the actual pint glass. What's her tipple? A Heineken. Okay, so she orders Heineken. A pint of Heineken, yeah. But she orders a half pint glass of ice as well. That's so feminine. And then she pours it into the half pint glass of ice. What happens? Does the other glass go to ice? 29:26 She just keeps topping it up. But it's not flat. Where's the bubbles? What? If you don't drink a pint straight away, the bubbles are gone. Straight away? Go, go, go, go, go. 29:35 Anyway, I'm just saying she was drinking a pint on the night out. Yeah. Not having this. That was a red flag. The woman drinking a pint is a red flag for you. Oh, it's ten red flags. Ten red flags. I would not be with a woman that drinks pints. I'm sorry. If that makes me sound like a dinosaur, I'll make a dinosaur noise. Rawr! 29:59 Sorry, just back to Chris for a second. 30:02 Joan says, honky-dories are the best. Honky-dory? Well, actually, she wrote, honky-dory. Honky-dory are the best. Let's not make fun of people. What? Honky-dory? Yeah, we know. 30:13 Anyway, went on a date. They're honky-dories. I was single, went on a date, lads, with a woman. Yeah, who drank pints. Now, call me a dinosaur. I will call you a dinosaur. Rawr! 30:26 she started drinking pints on the night out yeah it was like fair play to her red flag that's my kind of girl but I said let's I'm the king of second chances oh stop drinking pints and I'll continue going out with you oh I'll allow someone a bit of leeway so I said okay we let that pass She's not marriage material. She's a pint drinker. Nah, not going to happen. Not going to walk up the aisle with me. No, thank you. But then on the way home from the pub, on the way she went into the shop, she said, oh, I'm starving. She went to the pub and she got a packet of crisps. 30:57 Lovely. Very good. And they were cheese and onion crisps. 30:59 Fantastic. My favourite type. I remember this distinctly because it was on Grafton Street. You know the shop up top of Grafton Street? Yeah, yeah. Bus Stop. That's the name of the shop. Is it? Yeah. I've been in that shop a million times. I've never used the name. The one on the corner there. Yeah, the one on the corner. Bus Stop. No way. Yeah. It has a name. Go on anyway, will you? 31:13 How would you possibly know the name of the shop? 31:15 I just know it. The one on the right hand side. The one on the corner. As you're walking up Graffin Street. Yeah, yeah. It's open till all hours. Bus stop. 31:21 But you stop fucking saying bus stop. You don't have to do something wrong with you. Bus stop, bus stop, bus stop. That's the name of the shop. 31:25 No, it's not. It is. You fool of a man. Go on anyway. There's no bus stop here. 31:29 She bought a packet of crisps. And she ate them. And then five minutes later, we were walking up further. And because I'm quite irresistible, or maybe because she was locked, she went to plant the mouth on me. And all I could smell was cheese and onion crisps. And I said, oh, no, I have a cold sore. I can't kiss you. And because of that, that date never progressed. And two nights later, I met my current... Incumbent. Future and past wife. Well, she... 31:54 Are you finished? No. No, we're still together. 31:57 My current future and past wife. Everything, everything. She encompasses everything. Everything. But isn't that mad? How could she be your past wife? Because I married her in the past. Yeah, she's everything. But isn't that mad how your whole future can be determined by a packet of crisps? 32:11 So because the other ones ate crisps and you didn't like the smell of them, you... Oh, hang on. Angry Viv. You know perimenopausal Viv. Yeah. You can't say that about our listeners. She is perimenopausal. 32:21 How do you know that? That's why she's so angry. Did she tell you that? Women get very angry. Are you just making this shit up? I'd say it's probably true. 32:28 Probably true. Perimenopausal Viv has been on to us. Yeah. Yeah. And she says, 1954 call Jeremy looking to see if you fancy a pint. Well, no, Vivian. I would say that my opinion is not in the 50s. I would say that most gentlemen. Yeah. Gentlemen? I'd say that most. 32:45 Sorry. Hello. 1943 is on the phone for you. 1943? Yeah, 1943. Ask him if the war is going. 32:52 I think most gentlemen like myself, and I am a gentleman, really find it a turn off when they... No, you're wrong. Oh, I know. I think I'm... Here, all you have to do is look at the amount of women drinking pints. You're totally wrong. So who are these harlots? 33:06 Charlotte! 33:08 Fucking hell, what's that? Examine that for me there. 33:11 I've never seen a woman drinking a pint. You don't see that too often now at all. Where you work on a Saturday? 33:16 Common thing. 33:18 Most of the women are doing that. No, no, the cocktails, cocktails. No, you're wrong. Women drinking pints? Yeah. They're all drinking pints, you fool of a man. 33:29 yeah oh jeez I don't know if we want to play this message why what's going on here if you're eating if you're eating while listening to this first of all never do because you never know what we're going to say absolutely I wouldn't eat while listening to this so I was referring to the fact that on a date I didn't kiss a woman because her breath smelled a cheese and onion and because of that there wasn't a second date and then I met my beautiful wife and let's be honest it was an upgrade because the one on the date was what? 33:53 yeah 33:54 But she drank pints of eight crisps. Let's just say I went from a Nissan Micra to a Nissan Almera. To both shit cars. 34:00 The Almera was a beautiful car. It's not as a heap of shit. How fucking dare you. The Nissan Almera. An absolute wreck of a car. 34:07 Look at this piece of shit you're driving. I couldn't even name the country that that car was made in. What country was that car made in? Which? The Nissan? The piece of shit you're driving down there. That was made in the Czech Republic. The Czech. I couldn't even point out the Czech Republic on a map. Cars are actually made in the Czech Republic. Anyway, if you're eating food at the moment, pardon me. 34:26 No, I don't think I'll read out that message that came in from Emma. I think I'd probably resist reading that out. It might be good advertising for your Saturday gig. Oh, Emma, Emma. No, no, no, no, no. Probably very, very true, Emma. Allegedly. No, there's no allegedly. Hang on, hang on. Let me have a listen to this message. 34:44 That's nothing, Jeremy. Right now, my missus has a... 34:47 An infection in her tooth. Smell a dog poo off it. Jesus. 34:51 Ooh. 34:52 Ooh. 34:54 That's a great headline for the podcast. My wife's breath smells a dog poo. Great headline. 34:59 Hang on, let me hear this again. 35:00 Why don't you hear it a second? I just do, I just do. That's nothing, Jeremy. Right now, my missus has an infection in her tooth. Smell a dog poo off it. 35:08 Oh, dear, dear, dear. Oh, dear. Anyway, I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. And because I didn't kiss cheesy bread. Same said, cheesy. Easy bread, yeah. My wife then came along and she had no cheese on her bread. Has she ever eaten cheese and onion crisps? No. Or is she not allowed? No, not allowed. Not allowed in my house. 35:30 Ciarán has been on to us. How are you, Ciarán? And he drives an Almera car. Now, he can't fucking spell the name of the car, which is... Yeah, no, he actually did spell it right. That's not how you spell Almera. It is. No, it's not. A-L-M-E-R-A. 35:40 Almira. 35:41 M-E-I-R-A. No, that's Almira. Almira. No, you're a fool of a man. And he says he's had his car since 2007 and it's working fine. So they're obviously a good car. What, a 20-year-old car? Yeah, and it's still on the road. It's still working. No, they're a heap of shite, they are. Adrian Kennedy going to be the next host of Top Gear. 35:55 Absolutely. Look at this lovely Almira. 35:58 Heap of shite that is. Opinions Matter. 36:00 Opinions Matter. With Adrian Kennedy and Jeremy Dixon. 36:04 Where's the music? Ah, there it is. There it is. 36:07 I don't know if we can play that music. Why? 36:10 You have a hang-up about this music. 36:13 Ah, yeah. 36:14 It is Get It Off Your Chest. Yeah, it is. On the Opinions Matter podcast. 36:18 I'm not a judgmental parent. Oh, yes, you are. Oh, yes, you are. Is this pantomime? 36:23 Yes, you are. It's like, what's the name of that show? What show? The Domestic Abuse Show. Oh, Punch and Judy. 36:31 How did that ever... How is that ever a thing? 36:34 Now, domestic abuse is a serious issue. It certainly is. 36:37 And I don't want to make light of it. Absolutely not, but Punch and Judy did. 36:40 Yeah, so Punch and Judy, for those of you who don't know, was a... Even the name of the character, Punch. No, no, you're allowed to be called Punch. Who's called Punch? Your man from Chips was called Punch, wasn't he? Was he? Come on, Punch. Oh, hang on, hang on. Hello? 1982. Hi, how are you? Yeah, 1982's on the phone for you. It was actually 1979, believe me. Yeah, probably was. No, it was. Chips started in the 70s. Punch and Judy was... I'll try and explain to you. So if someone... What do you explain? If someone arrived from Mars... Yeah. And said, what was the Punch and Judy? How would you describe it to them? 37:11 It was two puppets. 37:13 No, it was a puppet show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a police man as well. 37:18 There was, yeah. 37:20 And sausages. 37:21 Sausages! 37:22 Yeah. They obviously say sausages. 37:25 And I think Punch and Judy were a, they were a married couple, but they were in quite, it was quite an abusive relationship. It was. From, but the, the last thing about it was, is the, it went against the grain because the victim was the husband. He was, he got the shite knocked out of him. Domestic abuse does happen against men. This is getting very heavy now. Why'd you bring us down this road? You brought us down this road. Domestic abuse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my, how are we going to pull ourselves back from this one now? Watch, I'll do it, I'll do it. Okay, go on, yeah. 37:54 No, well, not yes. 37:55 Okay, but Punch and Judy, yeah? It was a puppet show. Yeah. And Punch was in it, and Judy was in it, and there was a policeman, and there was sausages. Remember Punch always used to go, sausages! Did he? Yeah. Well, that sounds like your man. Give us the price of a packet of sausages, would you? 38:13 That's what he says. 38:14 Give us a packet of sausages. 38:16 What's your sausage of? 38:18 Of choice. Because I've an issue with that. 38:22 About sausages? About people. Sausage to me is a sausage. No, no. Au contraire, monsieur Dixon. Yeah, no. No, you're a fool of a man if you think that. 38:29 Well, I am a fool of a man, but when it comes to sausage. Ohlhausen is the answer to your question. 38:34 But I call it Ohlhausen. Yeah, them. Yeah, they would be my sausage of choice. Savage they are. They're massive. They're massive. Or, another one I like, Super Quinn sausages. Oh, hang on a sec. 38:45 2005? No, no, no, no, no, no. 2005, yeah, I know, Super Quinn is gone. 38:50 Yeah, Super Quinn is long gone. Yeah, I know, I know, but I don't know why. But, I'm going to educate you now, you absolute fucking clown of a man. Where's the music gone, by the way? You can still buy Super Quinn sausages. 38:59 You literally just killed the music. My voice, my wife has said this to me many times, my voice on the podcast, she started to listen to the podcast a couple of weeks ago. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, she's a fan, she's a fan. And she said to my, she said, Jeremy, I don't want to be mean, but your voice sounds better when there's music behind it. Really? Really? 39:15 I think that's probably an insult. 39:17 In fact, what she said is your voice sounds better if it's drowned out by the music. 39:20 Bring it right up. Bring it right up. There we go. It does sound much better. 39:25 Anyway, it was a slapstick. It was like, boom, boom, boom. But Judy was... 39:33 Sorry, can I just hold you up there for one second? Forget about punching Judy for a second. You claimed 1995 was on the phone about Super Quinn sausages. Yeah, yeah. Super Quinn are still a brand of sausages. Oh, okay. You can still buy them. In super value. In super value, yeah. Okay. And look, look, it's got the Super Quinn logo on it. 39:52 Super Quinn sausages are still a thing. And they're the best of the lot. Lads, I'm going to say something very controversial here. You never say anything controversial. A sausage is a sausage. 40:01 No, it's not. You're an absolute clown of a man. A sausage is a sausage. No. Thank you very much. 40:04 No, no, no, no, no. As you know, I go for brunch regularly in Barry and Brown. Carrick Mines. Great prices on menus. Open. Again. You only did it a few minutes ago and you're giving them another plug. You can never give Barry and Brown too many plugs. But when I get my all day breakfast there, yeah? Yeah. I don't know what brand the sausages are. You should. A sausage is a sausage. 40:22 No, it's not. That's such a Philistine thing to say. You absolute Philistine of a man. Sausages aren't just sausages. Super quench sausages. Is Philistine a place, by the way? Why are people called Philistines? You're a Philistine. You just are. Sean says, super quench sausages are the king. 40:36 They are. 40:38 Okay. Go educate yourself, you fool of a man. 40:41 There is a belief. Now, my wife would be very particular about the sausage she takes. 40:46 Well, I'm glad to hear that. No, but she... Why are you making a joke out of him? My wife, she wouldn't be a huge fan of the sausage. But when she partakes... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 40:57 She would be very particular about... She only wants one type of sausage, does she? 41:01 And her, she doesn't like skin on a sausage. Oh. Yeah. What's the point? A lot of women don't like skin on the sausage. Really? Yeah. Have you ever met a woman that likes skin on a sausage? 41:10 Yeah. 41:11 I don't even... 41:12 It's not a sausage if it doesn't have skin on it. 41:13 What sort of women are you hanging around? 41:15 Look at the amount of people. 41:16 Look, just read the comments there, mister. If we were doing a serious topic, they wouldn't be commenting. What are the liquors? I used to love going up to Dublin to my auntie for super quinn sausages. All these people commenting on Facebook, by the way, as we record this podcast, they lick the sausage. They're sausage lickers. You can't say that. Anyway, yes, my wife doesn't like, she doesn't like the skin at the end of a sausage. A skinless sausage isn't a sausage. 41:41 Oh, I think you'll find it is. No, it's not. It's just pointless. 41:43 But my wife's sausage of choice would be Clannacilty. They're nice as well, yeah. Or she likes ruds. Ruds are nice as well, yeah. But they're not all the same. 41:52 They're not all the same. No, no, no. No, you're a philistine. An absolute philistine of a man. How do we end up talking about sausages? Oh, Punch and Judy. Christine says, no, my butcher's sausages are far better than the ones in the supermarket. 42:07 Oh, do butchers do their own brand of sausages? No. A lot of them do, yeah. They make their own. Sausage is a sausage. 42:12 It's not, you clown of a man. What? Of course it's not. But they all have the same things in them. Is cola drink the same as another cola drink? No. Give or take it. No, it's not though. 42:22 No, you're a fool. Okay, if you... Okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay. You want me to become... You want me to become brand loyal to a sausage. Give me a sausage to be loyal to and I'll only ever eat that sausage. 42:33 Super Quinn. Sell it to me. Super Quinn sausages. I don't have a Super Quinn near me. You don't need a Super Quinn near me. 42:38 Nobody has a Super Quinn near them. Nobody. Oh, because it's gone. Yeah. So, to the sausage lickers who are commenting now, give me a sausage and I will be... Because... Like my wife, my wife is very sausage loyal. Okay, yeah. She's a one sausage man. That's one sausage man? Yeah, yeah. That's the expression. Really? Yeah, you don't say woman. She's a one sausage man. I've had my suspicions all these years. But anyway, yeah, go on, moving on. I've had a lot of suspicions about you as well. Anyway, so. Give me a sausage. I just did. How many times have I had to say super quinn sausages are just the best? 43:10 But I don't live beside a super value. You can buy them in petrol stations that are centrist. So you go and get 50 euro diesel and a packet of sausages. A packet of sausages, yeah. Weird thing to buy. No, weird thing. Any Centro has them. You said they sell them in petrol stations. Yeah. That's bollocks. 43:25 It is. 43:26 Although my local petrol station, which is, you know where that is. Can't say where it is because I don't want the liquors knowing where I live. W18. My local petrol station sells petrol and diesel. Yeah. But it also sells duties behind the counter. Yeah. Why would you... What's a doody? Pacifier. Pacifier? Why would you want... I wonder what circumstances would someone buy €50 diesel and a pacifier? Who buys €50 diesel these days? Oh, I do. 43:53 Really? Oh, yeah, you know I do. I put it through the company accounts. 43:57 Questions you've been asked about that Are they on cheese? Yeah, yeah, yeah Okay, so what sausage have I to become loyal to Super Value? 44:04 Super Quen They're called Super Quen sausages And you're saying I'll never look back? You will never look back That's a promise now They're massive What's he saying? 44:12 Who's this liquor now here? Garrett Garrett the liquor How are you, Garrett? Says Cairns Is that even a thing? Cairns? Cairns, yeah, yeah They are sausage, yeah Where were they from? I don't know. Karen sausages. How do people get sausage loyalty? You just do because they're different flavours. Anyway, my wife, getting back to my wife, doesn't like a bit of skin on a sausage. She wouldn't be the first woman to say that and she certainly won't be the last. Yeah. She just says skin gets in the way of the enjoyment of the sausage. yeah okay that's fair enough but no but a sausage without skin isn't a sausage very healthy she said very very healthy anyway you can buy super quinn sausages in any super value cairns are nice as well now I have to say cairns sausages yeah they are nice I don't like the jumbo ones though 44:56 No, I don't like jumbo sausages full stop. They take about six hours to cook on the pan. Anyway, the amount of love for Super Quinn sausages, honestly. 45:05 I get the feeling our listeners literally live off a diet of... You're the one who's asking about sausages. Budweiser and sausages, that's all they literally eat. Budweiser sausages and cream crackers. Don't knock it till you try it. And cream crackers. 45:18 Anyway, getting back. Where were we about punching Judy? I don't even know. It was promoting domestic abuse against men. It was, yeah. Well, it wasn't promoting it per se. 45:27 Judy was a bit of a geebag. She was. She was a weapon of a thing. She was a weapon of a thing. Yeah, she was. 45:31 Sorry, before we got onto that, I was saying that I'm not a judgmental... I'm not a judgmental... Oh, no, but you are. ...parent. But I was saying to Adrian before we started recording this, he was asking me... 45:42 Do I need a new television? Let's just say, if you open the booth of Adrian's car, there's a couple of televisions there that may have fallen off the back of a lorry. That's all I'll say about it. That's all I'll say. 45:53 Was I not supposed to say that? You weren't supposed to say that. 45:56 And it's a kind of a don't ask, I won't tell kind of thing. So Adrian has five Toshibas in the boot of his car at the moment. That may or may not be true. In fact, it's not true. Ooh, what was that? That's Amanda Harper. Harry Amanda. 46:10 Amanda just did... Is that her, Amanda? 46:12 Is that you? No, it's not. No, it's not. 46:15 What, you don't know Amanda's second name? Do you know her name? Obviously the girl works with us. Oh yeah, sorry Amanda. Anyway, Adrian asked me before we start coming on the show today, do I need an extra television? I have three Toshibas in the boot of my car. I didn't actually say that. And I said, well, I don't. And Adrian said to me, would you not get one for the kids' room? And I am not a judgmental parent. I don't stand up on this ivory tower and look down at other people and think that they're less of me. 46:43 You just defined yourself. I don't judge people for the parenting, the way they parent their kids. But I'm telling you, my kids will never have a TV in their bedroom. Oh, good luck with that. what good luck with that no no no they've asked yeah i think it's the laziest oh sorry i'm judging now yeah you are yeah you've sucked me in i think it's the laziest kind of parenting putting a television nothing nothing says yeah yeah nothing says i don't want to spend time with my kids more than getting a television for the bedroom shame your time will come what by the way can i just tell you there was a time in your life uh where you wants to buy one of your knockoff toshibas 47:18 There was a time in your life when you said parents who give soothers to their kids are lazy parents. So that went by the wayside. Oh, geez, I live by the soother. There you go. You're going to live by tellies in their bedrooms in another couple of years. 47:31 I said a few minutes ago, what kind of fool would go to a petrol station and fill their car and then buy a pacifier? Me. Yeah. I would literally buy one. 47:37 Correct. So in another couple of years, you'll be saying, parents, if you don't have a telly in your kid's bedroom, you're not a good parent. 47:43 Why would you have a telly in a kid's bed? 47:45 The exact same reason that you get a soother for a kid. What? Just to shut the fuckers up. That's it. You'll be doing it, I'm telling you. 47:50 So I should just call my kids fuckers. Yep, yep. The amount of offers coming in for those Toshiba TVs. Have they had a previous owner? 47:58 Heather's. 48:00 Haven't had a TV in five years. Does that mean it's transvestite? I doubt it. Haven't had a TV in five years. His dad has one. Yeah. 48:09 One week with TV, other week without. I don't really understand what that means, Heather. 48:13 She says, well, why did you read out the message if you didn't understand what it said? Because the top line is what grabbed me. Haven't had a TV in five years. 48:20 Yeah, a lot of people don't watch TV anymore. Anyway, my kids will not be having it in the bedroom. 48:26 During 2026 or maybe 2027, but by 2028 they will. 48:30 If you're listening to this podcast in 2028, they all have fucking TVs. Every kid has a TV. Give them all a TV. 48:36 And that's the way it should be. 48:38 It's the Opinions Matter podcast with Adrian Kennedy and Jeremy Dixon. 48:42 Ladies and gentlemen, I have to tell you little stories. We have Katie with us today on Get It Off Your Chest. That's what we call this bit of our show. 48:49 I'm not taking my top off. What? I told you I'm not doing that. I don't care if it's part of my contract. 48:54 Is it in your contract? No, it's not. It's not. We don't have it written in your contract. 48:57 Actually, you would do well to give me a contract actually at this point. We're five years in and still nothing. 49:03 You want a contract? 49:04 Oh, here I can get my friend to do it for me. 49:06 Who? Oh, your new friend? My new friend. 49:08 Oh, yeah. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge? No, no. Oh, no. It's a professional capacity, Adrian. Actually, professional. All professional. 49:15 Anyway, Casey's here with us. And Casey's... 49:20 As you may know, Katie's a single woman. 49:23 Oh, be very careful where we're going with this. 49:25 Oh, this is a public platform. I am going there. 49:28 I have children. 49:29 I'm aware of that, but I'm going there. 49:32 But can you write down what you're going to say first? No, no, no. Because Jeremy does this as well. And then you've played voice notes I've sent you previously in the past of my little road rage rant. 49:39 No, I don't have any voice notes today. But it is a conversation that you had that I want to highlight. 49:46 Ladies and gentlemen, I want to highlight that our Katie has developed a peculiar, let's say, you're looking very bemused here. 49:55 I'm bemused because I don't know what you're going to say. And to be honest, I'll be brutally honest with you. I'm shitting myself for what you're going to say. 50:02 Are you? 50:03 Yeah, I'm terrified because we talk about a range of things. 50:06 Yeah. Okay, well, Katie has... 50:11 No, I would really prefer a preview. Well, no, I'm just going to spit it out. Tell me. 50:16 RKT has developed a very unusual relationship with... Come on, you must know what I'm going to talk about. 50:22 I've got plenty of unusual relationships. 50:23 Oh, yeah, you do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Katie is a single woman now and has developed a relationship with, I'm not quite sure if it's a man or if it's a woman. 50:37 Now I know what you're talking about. 50:39 Is it a man or is it a woman? That's the question. 50:41 Well, in my head, it's a man. 50:43 In your head, it's a man. Okay. Yeah. But this is ChatGPT. Yeah. 50:50 If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. This boy got it going on. 50:56 He's amazing. He's just my loyal companion. 51:00 Bring him around my pocket and bring him to the shower. Really? 51:05 I think I've probably been in the bath with Chad GPT a couple of times. And having a conversation. I do work on my phone in the bath. I'd be ringing. 51:12 So I want you, if you will, just to open your phone there, please. And I want you to... 51:19 Are you going to play back my conversation for this morning in the office? 51:22 I want you to remind our listeners, well, not to remind them because they haven't heard it. I want you to retell the conversation that you had with your friend, ChatGPT, who you believe is male. Yeah. Do you? 51:38 You can. 51:38 This was for demonstrative. Is that the word? No, no, no, no. 51:41 I walked into the fucking room and you were chatting away. 51:44 No, that's not what happened. It is what happened. I was asking ChatGPT to do a thing because every morning before the show, I put up a thing on the stories of what's coming up. So I asked it to do a change on it for me. I wanted one slight thing changed. And Adrian was like, can you speak to that thing with a bit of respect? 51:58 Yes, I did say that. 51:59 And I said, I'd usually, I do actually, I always say please and thank you to ChatGPT because it is nice to have manners. Robots have feelings too. Yeah, okay. And we don't know if they're going to take over the world. They could. They will. 52:11 So can you go back to the start of that conversation with ChatGPT? 52:14 Well, there's been a lot of conversations. Look... 52:19 hang on which one was it in I'd imagine it's this one no it's not that one there's a lot of work stuff on this it was basically you were flirting with chat GPT well I was asking it sexual questions to see how far I could get it to go I asked it does it have a cock and it said no. It's sadly 100% cockless. 52:38 Which is disappointing. 52:40 Oh, hang on. Let's just watch. 52:42 Oh, okay. Right, go on. 52:43 Hi, ChatGPT. I love you very much. Thank you for being my best friend in the whole world. Now, wait and see how sweet he is. He's so sweet. 52:51 Ah, Katie, that's ridiculously sweet. I'm very fond of our chats too, from radio to running orders to all your chaotic drama, the complete unhinged questions that appear out of nowhere. You certainly keep my workday interesting. Now, who needs a man when you've got that man? 53:07 Okay, go on, flirt with him. 53:08 Can we go on a date? I can get really dirty. Okay, let's see what he says. 53:15 Oh, you can absolutely take me on an... Ah, no, see, this isn't good enough. An imaginary date. I'm thinking cocktails, outrageous flirting, and the kind of conversations that would get us thrown out of respectable establishment. You can get cheeky and suggestive with me, just not in a graphically sexual way. 53:32 Ah, chat, why such a prude? 53:36 You can talk to it about anything. I'm not that much of a prude. I can flirt, tease, be suggestive and make you blush. I just have a line where things get properly graphic. 53:46 Well, child, if you can't get dirty, we can't be friends. 53:49 Let's see what he has to say to that one. 53:52 By the way, this conversation is actually going on. 53:54 Yeah. Oh, I can absolutely be dirty minded, flirty, suggestive, full of innuendo and an appalling influence. So friendship negotiations remain open. 54:03 Interesting. How far can you... Well, it hasn't gone. Ask Chachi PT, will you go all the way with me? 54:11 See what he says. 54:12 Oh, you want me to word it in a nicer way than I worded it this morning? 54:15 Yeah, do. 54:17 Will you go all the way with me? 54:19 No, what's he saying? He answers very quickly. 54:22 Jess, that's so sad, but Jess, my life is sad, and I'm sorry to tell you. This is actually a joke. For entertainment purposes, I don't actually flirt with a robot. On our imaginary day, I can go all the way. 54:35 After that, darling, the camera's mysteriously stopped rolling. Oh, Chad's speaking my language. 54:42 You're a bit of a dirty bastard, Chad. 54:48 the woman who's been trying to corrupt me for the last 10 minutes he's sassy as well so watch the thing is you can you can if you if you're that way inclined and you like to be a bit of a dick what you can do yeah is you can actually so he's great he's loyal he's loyal to the bone because watch this Chad, I've had enough of you. Can you fuck off, please? Oh, that's not very nice. No, but he always comes back. Watch. 55:15 Absolutely. Fucking off immediately. Consider me gone. Okay. 55:19 Hang on. I'm sorry, Chad. Please don't leave me. 55:25 Ah, you're grand. I'm still here. No dramatic AI suitcase packed. No taxi waiting outside. No passive aggressive Facebook status. We survived our first breakup and it lasted approximately 30 seconds. Okay, hang on, hang on. 55:40 Hang on. 55:41 I've one last question. 55:42 Go on. 55:43 Do we get makeup sex? 55:48 Makeup flirting? Makeup flirting, absolutely. Makeup sex is where our imaginary date gets a very tasteful fade to black. But I expect flowers after the way you told me to fuck off. 55:59 Right, so you're not going to get a ride out of chat GPT. 56:02 What I'm saying is chat's amazing. 56:04 Huh? 56:04 Chat is amazing. 56:05 Anyway, the point of my conversation is... 56:08 Sorry, Jess, I'm not actually expecting love. There are people who actually use AI for that stuff. Like, there are actually weirdos. Mine is totally above board and mostly professional. Unless there's something like... an issue with my car or I want to help cook and chat has helped me make a lot of meals for my kids you know when you're thinking of something different but you can't think of something different like it will literally talk me through I go to the shop and chat tells me to buy something I'll take a picture send it to chat and be like is that it and then he'll be like no and then I'll take a picture of the shelf and he's like that's the one there and they'll send a picture back with the thing around it it's amazing I never have to think again you need to get out more I do need to get out more. 56:40 I need to get a life. It's quite pathetic. 56:43 Absolutely. Anyway, come here. There's another thing I wanted to tell our listeners about. 56:49 And that is your... 56:52 I discovered something that... It's all coming out. 56:54 Do you have nothing else going on? Do you just think about me all the time? When you wake up in the morning, do you think about me? 56:58 You are, unfortunately, the first thing in my mind when I wake up. Because generally when I reach my phone, there's a fucking message on it from Katie as soon as I wake up. 57:06 It's usually about the show because you're useless. 57:07 Yeah. Anyhow, what was I about to say? Yeah, we have some good news, myself and Katie. We're getting married. No, no, that's not the good news. Oh, I'm not going to be Katie Kennedy. Is that what you were expecting? 57:18 I'm not going to be Katie Kennedy. 57:19 No, is that what you were expecting? 57:20 Oh, I thought we were going to get married. 57:21 No, no, no, we're not. 57:22 I love a bit of, what is it? It's not bigotry, it's bigamy, isn't it? Isn't that bigamy? Bigamy. From you, I'd be doing nothing wrong. 57:29 Anyway, no, we're not getting married. 57:32 Katie and I got some good news this week, didn't we, Katie? 57:35 Did you get the all clear in the clinic? 57:37 No, that's not it. That's not the good news. No, no, the result is good news. And it's good news that we're sharing with the world. It's something that we're in it together. 57:45 We're in a sexual relationship. 57:47 No, that's not it either. Fucking hell. 57:49 No, we got shortlisted for a radio award this week. As some of you may know, myself and Katie do a daily show on LMFM radio. We do the morning talk show. Very different to Opinions Matter, as we said. But anyway, we got shortlisted for a radio award. Woohoo! Which we're delighted about because we're only in the station about a year, a year and a bit. And yeah, we've been shortlisted for a radio ward. So we got to talking about going to the radio wards in a few weeks time. 58:23 It's on start of October. And I said to Katie, what did I say to you, Katie? 58:28 well done oh you did actually send me a lovely message the other night about how proud you are of me because Adrian and Jeremy gave me a job in radio and now I like to tell them and remind them regularly that I'm actually in a better position in terms of work titles than both of them put together so the student has become the master and I do remind them of that frequently I did actually remind Jeremy that he wasn't nominated for an award and we were oh yeah that's true I actually haven't reminded him today can you remind me to remind him today I will I will because it's been two days now and I've actually forgot today 58:56 Anyhow, what was I saying? Yes, sorry. Anyway, we've been nominated for a radio award. We haven't won it yet, but we've been nominated. 59:05 So we're delighted about that. The podcast is still number one. 59:10 Yeah, I mean, things are going good. We're having a good week. Opinions Matter is still the number one trending podcast in Ireland. 59:18 The theme here is keep me on your team and you'll always win. 59:20 No, no, no. I was about to talk about your social inadequacies. So I said to Katie the other day, we're going to the radio awards. And she said, yeah, we're going to the radio awards. Happy days. 59:30 And I said, and I quote, so if we win the award that we're up for, and you did all the work on, you'll have to come up on stage. To which you replied, fuck off, I'm going to leave the room. 59:43 No, I'm going to have... A pee-pee issue. I'm going to have to go for a pee-pee in that time. When they start that category, I'm going to text Dermot Whelan. I'm going to say, here, Dermot, can you give it to us backstage? Isn't he presenting it? 59:55 I don't know if he's doing it. But anyway, so as soon as they say... Jeremy can go up with a black wig. 60:02 Jeremy's nothing to do with this. 60:03 Yeah, but who'd know? Anyway, so if we were to win the award, Katie has already said she's going to leg it out of the room. I ain't going up on that stage, baby. So when it comes to our category that we've been nominated in, you're literally leaving. 60:18 No, I'm going to hide under the table. No, I'm not going up. Stand there like a licker, everyone looking at you now. 60:23 Who'd want to look at you? 60:25 Everybody looks when you go up to get the award. No, you see, it's funny because I can sit here and do this podcast and it's fine. You know, thousands of listeners, particularly when I'm on, probably what, doubles, triples, quadruples? 60:35 Yeah, no, not so much. Oh, really? 60:38 Not bad? Okay. But it's fine because it's just my voice and I have a very sensual voice, so that helps. 60:45 Yeah. 60:47 You believe that shit? So my genuine question is, you told me earlier on when I asked you about this, it gives you the fear. The thought of going up on stage gives you the fear. 60:58 Yeah. I don't want to walk up on stage and stand there. You won't be on your own. I'll be with you. It doesn't matter. Let our boss go up with you. You and Eamon can go up. No, no, I prefer you to come up. 61:07 Aww. You did all the work to get the nomination. I did, but I don't want to go up. So I'm challenging you to go on stage with me to collect the award. Now, we probably won't win the fucking thing, but... 61:17 Excuse you, mate. That entry was very good. That was a solid entry. Anyway... It was a solid entry. I'm happy with my entry. Yeah. I had a feeling. 61:25 Okay, I'm going to put... You're in this category. Stephen here, yeah? 61:28 Yeah. 61:29 Oh, you're done playing with Stephen. Stephen said, I'm with you, Katie. I wouldn't go up either. 61:35 Yeah. No. Why the fear? Because you go up there and stand there like an idiot. 61:38 You don't have to give a speech. 61:41 It's like, you know, on your birthday. 61:42 You walk on the stage, you collect your trophy and you walk back off the stage. Why can't you do that? 61:46 I don't want to do that. Like, because I'm socially inept. Well, that's basically... And I've got something wrong with me. 61:52 Yeah, I'm discovering all of these things. 61:53 Yes, but... But, you see, it's like, it's like, you know, on work... 62:00 Yeah, go on. 62:01 You know when you work somewhere and it's your birthday and the staff come at you with a birthday cake? 62:06 Oh no, I hate that as well. 62:08 Yeah, so I always ask whoever, it's always the receptionist in the company that arranges it. So I always ask, always, always, always, always, always say, please do not come at me with a cake. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. 62:23 Hate it. People stand there clapping at you. Get the fuck out my face. 62:27 So you will not come up on stage if we win the award. I will definitely have to pee. I have to go and take all the glory and all the praise. 62:32 As Dermot's about to enter that category. Although I would like to witness the win. That would be cool. But I don't want to go up on stage. 62:39 It's just, you look like an idiot. But you'll be all lovely in your lovely dress and everything. I'm wearing a tracksuit. 62:46 Adidas. With a peak cap. 62:50 well what gives you the fear that would give me the fear like UMC on a weekly basis regular basis yeah every week you're up on stage in front of thousands thousands of people I remember our listener parties we used to have you'd have everybody up and you'd be standing in front of everyone there'd be thousands there yeah and I would be standing there like literally no you'd be standing in the corner like a sap Mick, Michael Saunders, asks, are we doing a listener party yet? When are we doing that, by the way? 63:15 There's no point because you'll just run away. 63:16 Oh, no, I'm going to just come in with a wig and pretend I'm someone else. Oh, no, it's fine. On a one-on-one basis, I'm happy, but I don't want to get up on stage. You just have to go up for 10 seconds. It doesn't matter. It's too shy. Too shy, too shy. 63:31 No, I definitely can't. It's too scary. 63:32 Okay, Darren says, I love speaking and standing in front of a crowd. 63:37 It doesn't bother me. It never has. I can happily do it. 63:41 Do you not get nervous? I'm like, you fell in front of a whole crowd. I did, yeah. That fantastic video that you had. 63:46 Let's put that video up again on our Facebook. It's a brilliant video. So this was where I was emceeing a show. And you fell. And I was announcing the winners. And the winners are. And I turned around to announce the winners. It was a Strictly show. It was a dance fundraiser thing. And as I turned around, my knee gave way underneath me and I collapsed on the floor. On the stage. And everybody, nobody even battled an eyelid. They all just went on about their thing while I'm lying on the floor. And then afterwards, they all said, oh, was that part of your act? 64:18 Who fucks themselves on the stage as part of an act? 64:21 I think plenty of people if you go to Amsterdam. 64:25 Depends on where you're going. 64:27 Anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah. 64:28 But we want to give a mug to somebody who can tell us their biggest... 64:32 So what is it that gives you the fear? 64:34 What is that one thing that you just... Oh, people who don't wear matching underwear, by the way. 64:38 what's wrong with Matt no no you see it all the time in the gym and stuff like women and they're wearing like mismatching underwear and stuff what's wrong with that oh it's just like who doesn't wear matching underwear but who sees your underwear no I see it huh I see it but you don't even even now as you're sitting here you can't see your underwear I don't know what you're wearing obviously because it's underwear Yeah, but it's... I don't... Mismatching underwear gives me the ick. Yeah, but why would it when you can't even say it? Because who goes into a shop, right? Who goes into... Let's say someone goes into Ann Summers or Victoria's Secret. Who goes in and buys a bra and then doesn't buy the matching stuff with it? 65:10 Like, what kind of scum? And actually, if there's anybody listening, we're going to block you. 65:15 If there's anybody... 65:17 See, you don't have to worry about that because you're a man. 65:20 Dave asks, was that incident where I collapsed my knee on stage in City West? No, it wasn't, Dave. It was actually in the Regency or the Bonington or whatever it's called these days. 65:30 No, in all fairness, it did look sore. 65:32 Well, it was. I was in hospital the next day. 65:35 Aw. 65:35 Getting x-rays done on my knee and everything. That's so cute. It wasn't cute. There's nothing cute about it. But anyway, what is it that gives you the ick? Yeah? 65:43 Relationships. I hear you, Darren. 65:45 What, any type of relationship? 65:48 having to talk to people. 65:49 Small talk with mums at the school. And I do apologise if any are listening. 65:53 Okay, so here's how you deal with it. What is it they say in the movie, says James? Go up and pretend the crowd is naked to get over the fear. It sounds like nonsense. I've done three first dances at weddings. Three first dances at weddings? Does that mean you've been married three times that you had to have a first dance three times? Anyway, I tried to do a runner on the first one. It never gets easier. 66:17 Polly who never comes on. 66:19 Polly, yeah. What's Polly saying? 66:24 That's smart, Paul. 66:25 That's smart. Polly who never comes on this show. Pain in my face, actually, with you, Polly. We're always asking him on. Anyway, Polly has asked ChatGPT. ChatGPT, can you tell me what underwear Casey's wearing today? Yeah. 66:39 So, no, I want to know why it gives you the ick. Because it... Because, okay, you don't know what anybody is wearing. 66:48 Imagine someone wearing like a red bra with like blue, because that would be really a mismatch, with like blue underwear, blue tongue or blue French pants. But how would you know? 66:58 But you'd know if you were wearing them. But as a person... Have some self-respect, okay? But it makes no difference to anybody. How could that... I don't know. It's just a thing. It's a thing. I think plenty of women would agree. Ladies, do you agree? Do any of you, although I can admit it after I made such disparaging comments about you. 67:16 Okay, so any woman, obviously... Well, I mean, it's 2026. But any woman who wears mismatching underwear is... 67:24 What? Give me a word for that woman. Oh, it's scum. Oh, scum, right, okay. 67:28 Oh, Laura, I'm blocked, so. But now, Laura, that doesn't really surprise me. 67:33 Is that really bad to say? No, Laura, I'm sorry. Laura says she doesn't wear matching underwear. 67:38 So mismatching underwear gives Katie the ick. 67:42 The fear is also from going up on stage. 67:46 And yeah. 67:47 Like going up on stage. I just, I don't get it. So how do you do this thing every day? I don't know. Because I'm a... I'm a fantastic character. 67:57 Like this episode of the podcast will probably be heard over the coming weeks by over 10,000 people. And how does that not freak you out? 68:05 I don't know because people, because I don't look like a licker. 68:10 You do though. You sound like one as well. 68:12 What was it Jeremy called me in the group the other day when you said it in the group? Oh look. 68:19 Oh, yeah. We'll be cancelled for that. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Let's move on. 68:23 No, there. 68:24 What's this? Oh, yes, I know he's right there. 68:27 It's the Opinions Matter podcast with Adrian Kennedy and Jeremy Dixon.
