Dermot & Dave

The Academy might be better off getting a green carpet out when the Oscars take place on March 13th. Ireland had a record breaking day of nominations with a total of 14. Short film ‘An Irish Goodbye’ was just one of the success stories and Dermot and Dave caught up with one of the writers and directors, Ross White to celebrate and hear of his plans for the big night.

''We just wrestled for about 15 minutes before the principal came in'' Comedian, Owen Colgan joined Dermot and Dave for What's The Story and he shared an hilarious tale from his school days of how he became best fiends with a boy called John Joe Durkan.

The Oasis joke is actually really funny! Tuck into some of Dave's Bad Jokes. Some are good, some are very bad.

Could they be the next big thing? Dermot and Dave went on a jamming session with some friends this week and the results are both beautiful and hilarious!

It’s been a really difficult year for Irish popstar Siva Kaneswaran. In March of 2022, his friend and ‘The Wanted’ bandmate Tom Parker died at the age of just 33 after a long battle with a brain tumour. It was this tragic loss that spurred Siva on to agree to push himself out of his comfort zone, and sign up for Dancing on Ice. The singer joined Dermot and Dave to chat about Tom, training and plans for The Wanted to continue with music.

‘Extraordinary’ is the brand new series coming to Disney+ and Hulu on January 25th and despite its international audience, it couldn’t be more Irish. Dermot and Dave already caught up with Emma Moran, the Fermanagh writer behind the series, but in Pamela’s Telly with Eimear we heard all about the Irish cast!

Years ago getting Botox or fillers seemed reserved for those we’d see on a red carpet but now, they’re as common as a trip to the dentist for some. So if you are thinking of going for it, what do you need to know and what can you expect. In a Mind Yourself Now special, Dermot and Dave caught up with Dr. Ruaa Elhelali from Therapie South William Street in Dublin to run through everything from the risks to the benefits and the questions you need to ask.

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. We had some SERIOUS Hollywood royalty on the show-Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie joined us to chat about their new film ‘Babylon’, the upcoming ‘Barbie’ movie and Brad’s dreams of owning a gaff in Ireland. You’re not alone Brad. Speaking of the good looking, our Seán had a makeover. He’s gone full Dermot Kennedy and chopped all his hair off. Rumours he’ll be appearing on the brand new MTV reality TV show based in Ireland are as yet unconfirmed. The big story of the week, however, is that our Dermot has FINALLY gotten a resolution to the oul stick in the Special K. We

Imagine living in a world where everyone has a superpower-except for you. That’s the idea behind the brand new Disney+ series ‘Extraordinary’. The series, which launches on the 25th of January, tells the story of Jen who missed out on getting her superpower when she turned 18 and now is feeling a little bit lost. The show is the debut project of Fermanagh’s own Emma Moran and stars not one but two Corkonians in the lead roles. Emma joined Dermot and Dave to chat about the very understated way she celebrated getting her first TV show, working with Sr Michael from Derry Girls and revealed her preferred superpower!

It's one of Channel 4's most popular series and it's been around the world. And now, it's coming to Dublin. 'Travel Man: 48 Hours In' sees comedian Joe Lycett and a pal visiting the sights and soaking up the craic of cities from Amsterdam to Rio. We heard what they'll be getting up to while on our shores, and the best of the weekends telly in Pamela's Telly with Eimear.

It’s the one of the biggest film of the year starring our new pals Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie but the stars don’t end there. To celebrate the release of ‘Babylon’ Dermot and Dave caught up with Li Jun Li and Jovan Adepo

Rowing across the Atlantic is something most experienced rowers wouldn’t even dream of. But for five friends with minimal rowing experience, it sounded like the challenge of a life time. The ‘Row Home Or Go Home 5’ aka Tom Nolan, Shane Culleton, Derek McMullen and brothers Gearoid and Diarmuid Ó Briain couldn’t have imagined breaking world records on their first attempt. Gearoid Ó Briain joined Dermot and Dave to chat about their amazing experience and life back on shor

It may seem like a small change, but there’s a big movement happening in Irish sport for women. From 2024, the Irish Women’s Rugby Team will no longer wear white shorts to alleviate some players concerns around playing while on their period. Now, it looks like other teams around the country will be following suit, including Kerry LGFA. Multiple All Ireland winner and broadcaster, Anna Geary joined Dermot and Dave to chat about the changes, and the differences it’ll make to women in sport.

Yes they're both found in a kitchen, and they're both part of making a meal but did you know there's an incredible link between a chef's hat and the humble egg? In Dave's World, we heard some impressive facts including the random Olympic medal Ireland has.

It’s only weeks until Ireland decide who will represent us at the world’s biggest song competition and the talent is overflowing. Longford’s own K Muni and ND are hoping to go the distance and get us to the final in May. They joined Dermot and Dave to chat about their song and why they’ve put their hats in the ring.

Range anxiety are two words that will be familiar to anyone who has experience of driving an electric car. The fear of running out of battery at a bad time is real, and can put a lot of people off making the move. But changes are afoot, Paddy Comyn from the AA recently undertook a challenge to drive an electric car the length of Ireland without charging. He joined Dermot and Dave to reveal how he got on, and what this challenge means for those looking to make the change.

Our Dermot recently found a stick in a box of breakfast cereal, yes you read that right. After he received vouchers by way of apology, we were dismayed to find that they didn’t work! The incident room was back up and running as there’s been quite the update!

It's all about Derry on this year's 'Dancing with the Stars', from Derry native Brooke Scullion to an actual Derry Girl Leah O'Rourke, and of course, Damian McGinty. The Derry native is best known as 'Rory Flanagan' from Glee but now, he's trading in his vocal chords for his dancing shoes. Damian joined Dermot and Dave to chat about moving from McKinley High to Montrose! 'Dancing with the Stars' airs Sundays at 6:30 on RTÉ One and the RTÉ player.

We can't believe this is real either, but the Iowa State Fair in America has a most unique competition. The annual 'Husband Calling' competition has spouses calling their other half at the top of their lungs. In Dave's World, we heard some of the best finalists, and the overall winner.

We all have our ways of deciding, some people want instant discounts, some want to play the longer game and build up points, others want the surprise of scratching a card. Supermarket loyalty cards have long been around but with the current cost of living crisis, we're more reliant on getting those deals than ever before. And it turns out everyone, including Team D&D, have their own favourite. Well, apart from Dermot, who is living in 1993.
