Dermot & Dave

Despite pleas from around the world, Dave's not giving up on his bad jokes for the new year. And we, for one, are thankful! Dave kicked 2023 off in style with some top notch bad jokes, and even an appearance from his co-host Dermot!

2022 turned out to be a pretty pricey year when it came to paying your energy bills, and with things unlikely to change in 2023, it's no harm to start considering ways of making some savings. Daragh Cassidy from Bonkers.ie joined Dermot and Dave with his top five tips to reduce your bills this year.

It’s the final podcast of the year, and we’re going out with the best of the best of Dermot and Dave. We have had quite the year, and even more craic looking back on it. In this final best of for 2022, we’ll be reminded of things like Maria’s big news, Cathal’s new baby, Dermot and Dave doing DIY together. There’ll be croc chat, masked producers and our favourite moments from things like Dave becoming a caddy and Dermot in a waterpark. Plus a chance to relive Dermot and Dave Day, the Campervan of Christmas Joy and when we forced car-loving Dave to take the train to work.

We've had some laugh this year, and there's no better craic than looking back on some of the moments that really gave us a giggle. Dermot & Dave's Best Of Comedy takes a trip down memory lane of some of the funniest moments we've had on the show. There's plenty of Bad Jokes, Say Stuff That Suits The Music, and of course, Noni. Plus, a dog with a Dublin accent, an array of the funniest laughs ever, a massive prank on our Dave and an appearance from the Toll Trolls!

For a small enough island, we sure do pack a lot in! It’s been an incredible year for Irish sport, and for Irish craic. Over the year, we’ve spoken to Leona Maguire after her first LGFPA win, Vera Paw after Ireland qualified for the world cup, Karen Weekes who rowed the Atlantic solo and we met the Irish woman who won classic TV show ‘Gladiators’. We heard about the New York cabbie who flew to Ireland for a pint, met the 66 year old who went on a J1, learnt about Ireland’s martial arts and met Limerick’s biggest hurling fan. Cathal made a show of himself at a Paddy’s Day parade and we will never let him forget it. Pat Shortt shared one of his most embarrassing stories ever, we found out what happened when Olly Murs was drinking in Nicky Byrne’s local and met the Meath farmer who went to great lengths to keep cool this summer!

What do Colin Farrell, Jim Carrey, The Rock, Kate Winslet, Steve Carrell, Sandra Bullock and Courtney Cox all have in common? Sure they’re all great pals of Dermot and Dave! In ‘Dermot & Dave’s Best of Big Names’, we look back on just some of the famous faces who have popped by to say hello. Over three hours, you’ll hear from everyone from Reece Witherspoon to Matthew McConaughey, Scarlett Johannsson to Jessica Chastain. Tony Hawk will judge our Dermot’s skateboarding, Michael Bublé will charm the pants off us and we’ll hear from the one and only Ethan Hawke!

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! It’s the last normal week of the show for 2022, but don’t worry, we still rammed a LOAD of craic into the week. We heard not one but TWO stories of Christmas joy involving Irish rail, met the Irish man bossing it on Countdown and played the game that will absolutely make your Christmas dinner. There’s Bad Jokes, Say Stuff that Suits the Music and a special song from our Noni. And if you’re a fan of the Dermot & Dave's Best Of Podcast, we have you covered over Christmas. From December 26th-29th, there’ll be some of our favourite moments in bumper podcast form.

It's that time of year again, when most of us will be spending more time then normal in the pub. And lets be honest, sometimes it can be hard to keep the conversation going. So today on Dermot & Dave, Producer Seán decided to introduce the lads to a game that he had played with his friends in the pub on Monday night. Prepare to be driven mad!

Have you heard of Dominic The Donkey? Cathal from the Dermot and Dave show stepped in for Dave's World and he made it a 'Christmas Cathal Special'. He introduced the team to an old Christmas song that they had never heard of, but now love!

''It's astonishing'' Comedian, Andrew Maxwell joined Dermot and Dave to chat about his upcoming tour, Christmas traditions and Roy Keane's moustache.

It's a festive edition of one of our favourite parts of the week! In Say Stuff That Suits The Music, we're catching up with Ray D'Arcy, Diarmuid Gavin and the inside of Dermot's head.

It’s time of year full of excitement, and excess and for some people, the thoughts of the socialising and the food that follows can fill them with dread. Emma Murphy is a psychotherapist from EatingFreely.com and she joined Dermot & Dave with some tips on how to navigate the food fear at Christmas

When you think of Christmas, there’s one man who springs to mind, and it’s not Santa! Michael Bublé’s dulcet tones are synonymous with Christmas, so much so that he’s inspired a Meath woman to write her own. Caithríona Madden joined Dermot and Dave to explain how she went from a cardboard cut-out of the man himself to having dinner with him to then writing her own song about it!

''Holidays are coming'' From ‘The Holidays Are Coming’ to ‘Don’t forget to turn the lights off’, it’s safe to say that with every Christmas comes some iconic Christmas Ads. Vaunnie McDermott, the managing director of advertising agency Connolly Partners joined Dermot and Dave to chat about what goes into making a good Christmas Ad.

The last one could be our favourite one ever! Dave's Bad Jokes had us all spluttering into our tea, even if we didn't want to!

When Noreen from Galway got in touch with Dermot and Dave, she'd had a pretty dramatic weekend. After bringing 12 year old Ruairc and sister Laoise to Dublin for the day to see the Toy Show Musical, they found out moments in advance that the show had been cancelled. To make up for the upset, they went to the Lego Store where they got some goodies. Which then ended up being left at the side of the car in the Heuston Station carpark, and then, poor Ruairc ended up in hospital! A fairly glum Noreen joined Dermot and Dave to ask for help, and needless to say...there might be a Christmas miracle!

It's the most nominated film at this year's Golden Globes, it topped the Irish box office and now, you can watch it from the comfort of your couch. In Pamela's Telly, we heard about the arrival of 'The Banshees of Inisherin' to streaming platforms, and the return of Netflix's most controversial series!

She's a soap opera legend and she has also won I'm a Celeb and Strictly Come Dancing in the past!

Charlie joined Dermot and Dave to chat about the show and all things EastEnders.

How many times do you think you’ll be woken by excited children on Christmas Eve? In the words of Mean Girls, ‘the limit does not exist’. We all remember trying to sleep on Christmas Eve as children, and for parents, it’s going to be a long night. Thankfully, help is at hand. In a Mind Yourself Now special, Kelly Geoghan from Sleepystars.ie shared her top tips to ensure a rested house!

''An ‘Atlantic Event’ will affect the west coast of Ireland and an asteroid will be too close to comfort'' - Nice one! Editor of Old Moore’s Almanac - the fortune telling magazine, Nicole Buckler joined Dermot and Dave to chat through some of the predictions for 2023.
