iRadio in the Morning with Cooper & Oonagh

It’s time for Get It Off Your Chest, where listeners share what’s really bothering them—and we help them figure out what to do. Today’s dilemma comes from Aoife in Sligo, who’s reached her limit living at home. She moved back in to save for a house and had a great routine with her parents—until her brother suddenly moved back after a breakup. Now everything has changed. He’s being treated like the “golden child”—breakfast in bed, endless cups of tea, second helpings at dinner—while Aoife feels completely overlooked (and even ordered around!). To make matters worse, she’s discovered he didn’t just move home after a breakup… he also ran out of money and is now comfortably settling into life being looked after. Aoife is asking: is she right to be annoyed, and how should she deal with it?

Donal brings his daily statistic to the show, and today we learnt a lot about all the things people do in shops that they hope they get away with, but really shouldn't be doing

Darren in Cavan joined the show this morning to take on Rhyme It, our fast-paced word game that puts players under serious pressure. The rules are simple: you get 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible, but every answer has to rhyme with a word you’re given. It sounds easy… until the clock starts ticking.

What are the little things we all do in shops that we know we probably shouldn’t… but think we get away with anyway? 👀 In today’s episode, we dive into the sneaky habits and cheeky behaviour people admit to when no one’s watching. We also continue the conversation around our Get It Off Your Chest dilemma about the “golden boy” brother who moved back home and is being treated like royalty. Listeners had plenty to say—so is it harmless family behaviour, or is it clear favouritism?

It’s time for Get It Off Your Chest, where listeners share what’s really bothering them—and we help unpack it. Today’s message comes from Aoife in Sligo, who’s at breaking point living at home. She moved back in to save for a house and had a great routine going… until her brother suddenly moved back after a breakup. Now? Everything has changed. He’s being treated like royalty—breakfast in bed, cups of tea on demand, second helpings at dinner—while Aoife feels like she’s been completely sidelined (and even ordered around!). To make matters worse, she’s just found out he didn’t just move home after a breakup… he also ran out of money and is now happily settling into the “golden boy” treatment. Aoife is fuming and wants to know: is she right to feel this annoyed, and what should she do about it? We dive into family dynamics, favouritism, and how to handle living at home as an adult when things start to feel unfair.

It’s prank call time—and this one did not go quietly 😅 Oonagh rings Sean, a caravan owner, with a long list of “complaints” after a supposed family stay… but Sean isn’t having any of it. What starts as a simple call quickly turns into a fiery back-and-forth, with Sean giving as good as he gets while Oonagh keeps piling on the completely made-up issues. From start to finish, the complaints just keep coming—and so do the reactions. If you love hilarious prank calls, quick comebacks, and a bit of chaos, this is one you won’t want to miss.

From awkward gym moments to full-on family drama—today’s episode has a bit of everything! Oonagh kicks things off by sharing the habits we all have at the gym (but don’t like to admit), plus the things that leave us absolutely mortified while working out. If you’ve ever felt awkward in the gym, you’ll definitely relate. Then, things take a turn with a brilliant prank call from Oonagh involving a lad’s caravan… and let’s just say, there were plenty of complaints 😅 We also hear from a listener in Get It Off Your Chest, who is not holding back about her frustration. Her “golden boy” brother has moved back home and is being treated like royalty—while she feels completely overlooked. Is she right to be annoyed, or is this just typical family dynamics?

Donal brings his daily statistic to the show, and today’s stat had Oonagh fill us in with all of the embarrassing things she does when she gets to the gym, even though she's not been near a gym in about 15 years

What do people really take from parties that they’re not supposed to? 👀 In today’s episode, we dive into the cheeky habits we all pretend we don’t have—from “borrowing” things to sneaky party behaviour that might sound a bit too familiar. We also bring the fun with a brilliant round of Rhyme It, where Sharon absolutely smashed it—can you beat her? Plus, a listener gets in touch with a tough situation at home. She’s living with housemates who only speak Irish to each other, leaving her feeling completely isolated and unsure how to handle it. We open up the conversation and share advice on dealing with feeling left out in your own home.

Donal brings his daily statistic to the show, and today’s had us confessing all of the things we steal from parties we're at and try to get away with it without being judged.

It’s time for Get It Off Your Chest, where listeners share the situations they’re struggling with—and we help them figure out what to do next. Today’s message comes from a listener who’s finding it really tough living with her housemates. The issue? They all speak Irish with each other in the house, and she doesn’t understand a word. What started as a small thing has turned into her feeling completely left out, isolated, and not part of the group at all. Is this just a cultural/language difference she needs to adapt to, or should her housemates be making more of an effort to include her?

Why do the smallest moments in public send us into instant panic mode? 😅 In today’s episode, we dive into all the awkward, relatable things we do in public that immediately make us want to disappear. We also revisit Friday’s Get It Off Your Chest dilemma about whether you should complain about bad food in a restaurant—and safe to say, listeners had a LOT of opinions. Would you speak up or stay quiet to avoid the awkwardness? Plus, it’s Monday which means one thing… our Monday Mystery Guest joins us in studio for a bit of craic, laughs, and surprises along the way.
