Dermot & Dave

Like it or hate it, Kim Kardashian wearing one of Marilyn Monroe's most famous dresses was one of the most talked about moments of the year. And now, we'll finally get to see how it all happened. In Pamela's Telly, we heard about what we can expect from series two of 'The Kardashians' and all the other best bits from the week!

We’ve all been there. We’ve all the gear. We’ve the training plan. We’re all in, until we fall off the wagon and find ourselves back at square one.

With things the way they are at the moment, a lot of people around the country are looking at their skills and hobbies to figure out how to make a little extra dosh. Commonly known as a ‘side hustle’, it can be a great way to supplement your income. But there are some things to consider. Marian Ryan from Taxback.com joined Dermot and Dave to explain the tax rules you need to follow, and how to make sure you’re getting the most from your side hustle.

Missed some of your favourite bits during the week? Want to catch up on the craic from Dermot and Dave? Well look no further than the Dermot and Dave Best Of podcast, your home for all of the messing with none of the music! Whether you’re on a drive, out on a walk, getting stuck into the gaff or garden or looking for a bit of distraction from work, the Dermot and Dave Best of podcast has just some of our favourite moments from the week gone by! There was only one show in town this week and a LOT of our listeners were very croaky this week after Garth Brooks, our Seán included. But while Seán was going country, Dave was travelling around the country and snubbing members of Westlife. We met someone who lives in space, found out the trick to finding out what ‘eye’ is your dominant and heard from a couple set up by us who are celebrating something monumental. Plus Say Stuff that Suits the Music…and yes, bad jokes!

The fear, the dread, a case of the Glenroes. Whatever you call it, we all know the feeling of 'Sunday-itis'. The good news is, there is something that could solve your woes, and it involves ice cream. We heard all about the Sunday fear cure and the best of the weekends telly in 'Pamela's Telly'.

Wedding Season is the latest comedy-drama from Disney+ and the main star is our own Gavin Drea. While the name might suggest ‘rom-com’, the series is actually a murder-mystery, comedy, romance drama. We’re still working on a portmanteau for that mix of theme! It’s dark, deeply funny and well worth a watch. Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Gavin explained what viewers can see, revealed why he’s decided to keep his own accent and told us about his brilliant Dublin Fringe Show.

Garth and Brook from Galway had it all planned. IKEA for the day, Garth for the night and then back to their campervan to escape the crazy Dublin hotel prices. But sometimes things don’t work out like that. Garth aka definitely not Adie joined Dermot and Dave to share his warning tale of peril, fences and a very confused taxi driver.

Four years ago, we got an email in from Chris Coleman who had met the potential love of his life in a nightclub in Athlone. Problem was, he couldn’t really remember anything about her. And he needed our help. Help we did and soon enough we found his beloved Caitriona, introduced them on national radio and sent them on a date. The rest was history. Chris and Caitriona joined Dermot and Dave on their wedding day!

It’s been a long time but Galway had better get ready for some seriously good comedy. The Galway Comedy Festival returns for it’s first post-lockdown, no restrictions necessary, all the craic extravaganza. With 100 comedians taking to stages all over the city, and tonnes of other gas events, it’s shaping up to be a week to remember. Reginald D Hunter is just one of the amazing comedians on the line up and he joined Dermot and Dave to chat being back in Ireland, sausages and what we can expect from his show!

Did you catch something amazing in Irish skies? We've been hearing reports from everywhere from Limerick to Dublin, Donegal to Waterford of people spotting something 'green' flying through the skies. Our favourite space commentator Leo Enright joined Dermot and Dave to explain what it could be and if we'll be seeing more of them!

We all know 'The Da Vinci Code' whether it's from the best-selling book or the hugely popular film. Dan Brown followed it up with another best-seller 'Angels and Demons'. But that wasn't the first thing Dan Brown produced called 'Angels and Demons'. In Dave's World, we found out about the incredible back-story to one of the world's most famous books.

He’s a gas man, so we were only too delighted to have Lewis Capaldi in for a ‘What’s the Story’ special. Lewis spoke to Dermot and Dave about returning to music, his INCREDIBLE music video for his new single ‘Forget Me’ and told us why Ed Sheeran owes him big time!

Since the passing of Queen Elizabeth, there’s been huge changes in the UK. They have a new monarch, a new Queen consort and a new national anthem. But what else will change, and when? Andrew Lowth from the TodayFM newsroom did some sleuthing to find out what’s going to happen to things like Sterling and post boxes!

What happens after you make it, but the dream then ends? That’s the big question in the new Netflix film ‘I Used to Be Famous’. Out on September 16th, the film tells the story of a washed up former popstar who befriends a neurodiverse drummer to create something incredible. Director Eddie Sternberg and producer Collie McCarthy joined Dermot and Dave to chat about the background to the film, the importance of music within and the importance of using a neurodiverse cast.

We all know if we're a lefty or a righty when it comes to our hands, most people even know if they're right or left footed. But, did you know that you're either left or right eyed? In Dave's World, we found out about the simple test you can take to figure out your dominant eye.

Want to try some of the best pizza in the world? Good news, you don't even have to go near the airport! The Dough Bros in Galway have been named as one of the world's Top 100 pizzerias and the single best in the country. Ronan and Eugene Greaney aka The Dough Bros travelled to Naples for the special event where they were listed as the No. 79 best pizzeria in the world, and were also named the Top Pizzeria in Ireland 2022. Ronan and Eugene joined Dermot and Dave to chat about the awards, making the perfect dough and revealed their favourite toppings.

We always had our suspicions around ladybirds! There's nothing quite like getting an insight into someone's mind, and there's really nothing quite like seeing what's going on in our Dermot's head. In Say Stuff That Suits the Music Dave plays music to Dermot that he's never heard before. The result is often very weird but always gas.

Going to space is an incredible feat but actually living in space for months on end is something else entirely.
