Dermot & Dave

Seamus Barry may have had his friends and family convinced that he had the gift of the gab but now he has the trophy to prove it. The Waterford man has just won a nationwide competition to be declared Ireland’s next top pundit. Seamus joined Dermot and Dave to chat about his new title, and the incredible experience of performing his first punditry role at the All Ireland Final.

Our stomachs are turning just thinking about it! The Bray Air Display is back for the first time in nearly 3 years, and it’s going to be one of the biggest yet. Ireland’s biggest free family event is celebrating 15 years of taking to the skies, and they have an incredible line up for the hundreds of thousands who will line the streets of Bray. Dermot and Dave were joined by the director of Bray Air Display Capt. Sé Pardy and Capt. Jamil Zayyad from the Royal Jordanian Falcons who gave us an idea of what it takes to become an aerobatic pilot

When most people are planning their wedding, it’s unlikely that they could imagine it turning into a fully fledged festival…and then an actual festival festival. That’s what happened to Galway couple Cormac Jennings and Sharon Sweeney. In 2019 when they married, they decided to use their farm to hold a wedding festival. The result? A marriage and the realisation that they were onto something special. In July this year, the couple held their first Livestock Festival with 35 bands, 2 stages, a host of other demonstrations and hundreds of attendees. Cormac joined Dermot and Dave to explain how it all came about, and if he’ll be repeating it for 2023.

It seems bonkers but there’s actually nothing more entertaining than sitting down and watching other people watching telly. Gogglebox may have initially seemed like it was a joke but it has become a staple of television both here and in the UK, and six years in, the Irish version is (we think) miles ahead of the UK version. And now, you can be part of Gogglebox Ireland! The search is on for new people to take part and producer David Noble joined Dermot and Dave to explain all including, what they have to take out!

They all say that Diarmuid has those magic hands! It's Thursday which means Limerick's favourite Chaaawklit seller Noni Considine joins Dermot and Dave. This week she's getting the hair done by celebrity gardener, Diarmuid Gavin.

Having lunch outside always seems like a good idea until a Seagull tries to rob your sandwich. For Dave's World, Dave brought us some random Seagull facts and he also plays a new tune that was devolved by food delivery company Deliveroo along with a Seagull expert to help deter them whenever you need to be left alone. It'll be very handy the next time you're having a picnic in the park. Click Play above to hear the tune (it's kind of catchy).

There has been some suggestions that BMW are going to start charging customers to use the heat seating abilities of their cars. Yep, $18 a month for a warm car seat on a cold morning…we’re not against it… However, it’s part of a trend which sees car companies looking at different ways to make money. Dave Humphreys from CompleteCar.ie joined Dermot and Dave to explain what different companies are doing, and answered your questions on everything from the best SVU to buy and if you're better going new or second hand.

Jennifer Doherty from Donegal has done some pretty impressive things, including flying a plane and driving a rally car. But nothing has been more unique than effectively going to Everest on a whim. Last Christmas, she was surprised at her home by Donegal adventurer Jason Black who invited her to join him on a trek in May. Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Jennifer says ‘if I thought about it, I’d have talked myself out of it’. Instead Jennifer, who is blind, took to the footpaths and exercise bike and prepared for a trip of a lifetime. Jennifer joined Dermot and Dave to chat about the incredible experience and why she doesn’t think she’d have done it if she could see!

Ever wonder what's going on in our Dermot's head? Well if you want to know, all you have to do is play him pieces of music and see what the bonkers result is. Say Stuff That Suits The Music sees Dermot react live to music as Dave is playing it to him for the first time. You never know what you're gonna get but it's always completely and utterly hilarious.

He was informed that Gold worth millions was buried under his house! For Dave's World, Dave reveals which Hollywood star spent a full year looking for a treasure trove of gold and found nothing. It turns out that it was all a scam! Click Play to find out who the star is.

It involves a lot of screaming and shouting! Funnyman, Shane Daniel Byrne joined Dermot and Dave for 'What's The Story' this week and he shares a hilarious story that involves his new apartment, his boyfriend and a Rat! Shane will be taking to the stage this weekend at the Paddy Power Comedy Festival in the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin. For more information visit - ppcomedyfestival.com

For most of Ireland, the last few days have been hot. Really really hot. Fans are selling out across the nation, queues for 99s are miles long and the beaches are full to the brim. So, why not find your own way to cool down? That's what Michael Farrelly did. The Carnacross farmer built a massive 40 foot pool using 20 bales of hay, a silage cover and tonnes of harvested rainwater. Michael joined Dermot and Dave to explain where the idea came from, who's been using it and what he'll do with it when the hot spell ends.

‘Awwwww here goes!’ Forget your Prince of Bel Airs, the real banger of theme tunes from the 90s has to be Coolio’s intro to Kenan and Kel. In this extended podcast chat, Coolio chats to Dermot and Dave about what he loves about Ireland, his work on the soundtracks to some of the biggest movies of the 90s and getting Gangstas Paradise to a billion streams on Spotify.

James May, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond have been on our screens for donkeys. People love them, people hate them.

We know, it may seem like it makes no sense…but have you ever heard the old tale that redheads feel more pain or that they’re more resistant to anesthetic? Maybe you’ve heard that they suffer more dental anxiety? There’s a lot of myths around dentistry and for a Mind Yourself Now special, we were joined by Dr Jennifer Collins lead general dentist at Northumberland Dental Care in Dublin 4 and clinical director of the Dental Care Ireland group to do a quick fact-check!

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! Dermot (finally!) actually managed to get on a plane this week, but not before being driven demented by checklists from airline. His solution? Send his own one. First thing, make plane fly. That wasn’t the only air-news we had this week, Leo Enright joined the lads to explain all about the new NASA telescope, but when he wasn’t on the line…things got a little bit bonkers. With just days to go until the All Ireland Hurling final, we met Limerick’s biggest fan who has a very special reason to go to work. Our Cathal also headed to Limerick and Kilkenny to soak up the

It’s the show of the summer with millions across the UK and Ireland glued to their screen, so imagine the excitement when one of our own went into Love Island.

'Oh Limerick, you're a lady' To celebrate All-Ireland hurling final week, Cathal paid a visit to the home of reigning All-Ireland champions and the county gunning for 3 in-a-row, Limerick! Cathal was in Kilkenny earlier this week and he didn't think Limerick could match their excitement, but he was proven wrong!
