Dave Moore

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’d like to issue an apology. It appears we had everyone’s heads wrecked during the week when we spoke to Conor in Laois who asked the question ‘are there more doors or wheels in the world’. It’s wrecked our heads, it’s wrecked your heads and the worst part? We don’t even have an answer for you.

Someone who’s head definitely wasn’t wrecked this week was our Dermot. He practically floated back into the office after a very restful weekend away which sounds like our Dave’s worst nightmare.

Speaking of worst nightmares, can you imagine mortifying yourself at a hotel breakfast? Chris Kent did just that, but really, it’s all the fault of the jam. The Cork comedian joined Dermot and Dave for our brand new feature, ‘What’s the Story’. And if you have a story you have to share, send them to [email protected]

But, the mortification doesn’t stop there. Foolish Cathal was foolish and said he needed a plan for St Patricks’ Day. He forgot rule one of working on Dermot and Dave, never give them ideas. Watch this space.

We celebrated our Dave's Birthday with a special Birthday Busk in aid of TodayFM's Big Busk for Focus Ireland

Plus all your faves from Noni's Paddy's Day tale to Say Stuff That Suits The Music, and of course, Dave's Bad Jokes.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, frontman Niall 'Bressie' Breslin revealed what we can expect from their latest releases.
