Dermot & Dave

If you’re spending three or four months at sea, we’re sure it’s nice to have something to connect you with land. For Cork man Mark Maguire, he has found TikTok. Mark is a captain with Maersk meaning he spends three or four months at a time on board a container ship travelling around the world. He’s been documenting the highs, and the lows, on his page (@the_captain_mark) Mark joined Dermot and Dave to chat about his incredible job.

Have you ever looked at your pet and thought ‘’what are they thinking?’’ Are they happy? Are they sad? Would they prefer different owners? Are they thinking about other dogs?

From the biggest boy band in the world to sold out solo gigs at Slane and Knebworth, there was a time when Robbie Williams was the biggest star this side of the Atlantic. And now, a new Netflix documentary is going to show us the singer as we've never seen him before. It's been announced that the streaming service will be releasing a brand new 'tell all' that will show the star as we've never seen him before. In Pamela's Telly, we heard all about the doc as well as the best TV for the weekend.

It was a 90s icon, a staple of Saturday nights and now, Gladiators is back. The BBC have confirmed that they're reviving the classic show with new episodes coming out in 2023.

This poor man went through hell to get this snake out of his house. For Dave's World, Dave brightened up everyone's day by playing a clip of a poor Geordie man who is struggling to deal with a special visitor.

And find out who is the better present giver-Dermot or Dave.

She's one of Ireland's top golfers so it's safe to say that Leona Maguire knows a thing or two about what's expected of a caddy. After Dave's rather interesting experience taking on the role for Dermot at the Irish Open Pro-Am, he had tonnes of questions for Leona. Leona also spoke about how she's spent her holidays, working with the K Club and how she's now even inspiring Confirmation names!

We can assure you that not all of the jokes are Dave gloating over United beating Liverpool, but there might be one or two! Dave was in flying form for Bad Jokes. Get ready to groan, giggle and grimace!

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! Dave may been sunning himself in Spain but that doesn’t mean that we’d leave him alone. After Manchester United’s shameful performance, he was the first person we wanted to speak to this week. We don’t think he feels the same about us somehow. But Dave isn’t the only jet-setter on Team D&D, our Cathal headed to London to meet the cast of House of Dragons…but really, we had a much bigger plan for him. Finally we said goodbye to BLT in ‘Ah Sure Look It’, lucky Sharon got herself a nice few bob! We chatted about old nightclub tunes, headphones v reality and
