  • Jeremy is the rational one of late

    Getting more difficult to listen to Adrian. Those left wing goggles are seriously hindering his view of the world. Opinions matter unless that opinion upsets Adrian.

  • Gone very woke and boring

    Lads I can’t even listen anymore. You have gone so woke and boring its just impossible to even make it past the 4 or 5

    Minute mark these days and I have to Switch off. Been listening for 2 decades to you, every night but the past year you guys have been just unbearable. I’m not sure if you’re making up stuff to appease people or what has changed with you, but there’s no real journalism, you preach fake news all the time, you don’t discuss important topics unless it’s from leaning towards one bia... more

  • No point listening anymore

    Use to love this podcast back in the day then 2020 hit and they chose there side which was the wrong side supporting forced juice forced lockdowns . Fast forward to now and the programme is pointless . Fake topics fake emails all written the same , They champion and support all the wrong things and if u disagree u get blocked off the socials . The show would benefit from ditching Jeremy he’s one of those who knows more and more about less and less

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Transitioning from Male to Female Was The Biggest Mistake of My Life"
Q: Take me back to the start of your story when you began to feel you were different.
Michael explains a traumatic start at 18 in Glasgow, followed by trauma bonding, experimentation, and eventually discovering trans identity as a path that later caused regret and doubts.
"I told my daughter about Daddy's affair"
Q: Is it ever acceptable to tell a child about an affair to explain a breakup?
Most callers suggested avoiding explicit details and instead framing the breakup in simpler terms, with emphasis on protecting the child's emotional well-being and not blaming a parent for the affair.
"I told my daughter about Daddy's affair"
Q: Should a 10-year-old be told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about why mommy and daddy have broken up?
Responses varied, with some arguing yes to protect honesty and others saying no to protect the child's innocence; the consensus leaned toward careful, age-appropriate disclosure and avoiding detailing adult transgressions.
Adrian & Jer Go Head to Head With Far Right Activist Phillip Dwyer Over Pride Flag
Q: Phillip, do you genuinely, in your heart and soul, believe that the use of the pride flag is trying to encourage young people to be gay? Is that what you believe?
Phillip answers affirmatively, arguing it is about indoctrination and promoting a broader LGBT agenda, including puberty blockers and transgender ideology.
*TRIGGER WARNING* Child Makes Horrific Abuse Claim To Restaurant Worker
Q: Why did you decide to contact the podcast about this incident?
I felt a strong responsibility to share what happened so that others in similar jobs could understand the signs, know what steps to take, and push for better safeguarding procedures and support for staff who find themselves in such situations.
