On today's Get It Off Your Chest, a listener shared a neighbour dilemma that had people surprisingly passionate. Paul says he's convinced the girl next door has been secretly using his bin — and not just for the odd bit of rubbish. He claims he's caught her dumping things she doesn't want in her own, and to make matters worse, recyclables keep ending up in the wrong place, leaving him getting called out by the bin collectors. After politely bringing it up before and being met with total denial, Paul is now stuck between keeping the peace and starting an all-out neighbour war. Is he overreacting… or would this drive anyone mad? Listeners had plenty of thoughts and advice.

With Kerry vs Donegal set to battle it out in the All-Ireland qualifiers this weekend, Oonagh decided there was only one way to get ready — with a full county-vs-county roast-off. Proud Kerry woman Oonagh came armed and ready to defend the Kingdom, while Liam stepped up flying the flag for Donegal and gave as good as he got. What followed was a hilarious back-and-forth packed with county digs, rivalry, slagging and plenty of passion ahead of the big game. If you love GAA banter, county pride and a bit of harmless chaos, this one is not to be missed.

Today's prank call took a seriously chaotic turn when Oonagh rang an unsuspecting woman with some very alarming “news” — according to Oonagh, her driving licence was no longer valid. Armed with her address and car details, Oonagh made the call sound a little too convincing, insisting letters had already been sent and that the only way to revalidate the licence was to complete a theory test… over the phone. As panic, confusion and frustration started to build, the poor victim could not understand why she'd never received these mystery letters. Cue one of the funniest, most awkward prank calls yet with plenty of disbelief and chaos along the way.

On today's Get It Off Your Chest, a listener shared a supermarket experience that had people instantly taking sides. Mark thought he was in for a quick trip with only a few items… until the man ahead of him turned one queue into an endurance event. With shopping already scanned and packed, things came to a standstill after FOUR voucher codes had to be sent over from his wife — leading to blurry screenshots, multiple phone calls and a 20-minute wait that tested everyone's patience. Mark was left wondering at what point it's acceptable to say, “Lad, just pay and move on!” Listeners weighed in with their own queue horror stories and whether saving a few euro is worth holding everyone up.

Things got very awkward on today's show after Oonagh was caught arriving into work with her audiobook blasting loudly for everyone to hear. The problem? Cooper was convinced it sounded far raunchier than it should have. Oonagh insisted she was simply listening to a WWII audiobook and defended herself by explaining the plot… but somehow things only got stranger. Between dramatic storylines, endless talk of “passion,” and Oonagh's hilarious impressions of the narrator, Cooper became convinced she'd found her true calling — narrating adult audiobooks as a side hustle. Expect major second-hand embarrassment, plenty of slagging and one of the funniest on-air moments of the week.

On today's Get It Off Your Chest, a listener from Kildare shared a dilemma that sparked a huge debate. Sarah desperately wants to support one of her best friends at her baby shower… but there's a catch. The event is all the way in Donegal, costs €60 a head for food alone, and that's before paying for travel, accommodation and a gift. To make matters worse, partners aren't invited, meaning her boyfriend can't even come along and turn it into a weekend away. Now she's wondering if modern baby showers have become completely over the top — and whether she's awful for saying she simply can't afford to go. Listeners weighed in with strong opinions on friendship expectations, baby shower etiquette and whether these celebrations are getting out of hand.

Donal brings his daily statistic to the show. There was a lot of things we'd never even thought about people doing before they post a picture talked about this morning

Cooper thought he was just taking a simple song request during a gig on Friday night… but things took a horribly awkward turn very quickly. An Italian man was passionately trying to get Cooper's attention, talking with his hands and explaining what song he wanted played. As Cooper went to respond with a confident “Yeah, I'll play that!” something happened that instantly made him regret the interaction. Safe to say he was not a happy cookie afterwards.
