Our favourite time of the week is when Dave plays Dermot pieces of music and he has to say whatever comes into his head. We call it 'Say Stuff That Suits The Music' because...well, it's exactly what it says on the tin.

This week, there's something of an Irish theme to it!

Technology is playing a big part in the war in Ukraine

[audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2022/03/08154747/JasperHamill_TechUkraine_0803.mp3"][/audio]

Recently social media giant, TikTok announced on Twitter that it would be temporarily banning livestreaming and new content production within Russia to help Ukrainian and to stop spreading Fake News on their site. Google is another company that stepped in. In the days since the invasion, Google disabled certain features from its Maps app including live traffic information and data about how busy places are, in order to protect the safety of Ukrainians.

Tech Journalist Jasper Hamill joined Dermot and Dave to chat about what some of the biggest Tech companies in the world are doing to help Ukraine in their bid to stop the Russian invasion.

Imagine being banned from a Dating App for acting the clown.

Donegal woman, Jess Harkin AKA Kazoo the Clown joined Dermot and Dave to explain why Tinder doesn’t seem to be too Clown Friendly. Jessica had her Tinder profile taken down after she ''violated'' some of the T&C's but she says she was just being herself!

You'd need a PHD to try and understand what's going on with all the soaps

[audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2022/03/07122452/Telly_0703.mp3"][/audio]

For Maria's Telly, Producer Maria explained what's happening with all the soaps and it's a minefield lads, as Maria said herself; ''Peoples soap lives are turned on their heads''.

Maria also has news about a documentary called 'The Real Peaky Blinders'' that looks into the 1920s gangsters who inspired the hit drama.

After what was an unforgettable Formula One season, Drive to Survive is back and looking better than ever! Producers of the hit Netflix series Paul Martin & James Gay-Rees joined Dermot and Dave to chat all things Drive To Survive. Dave even pitched a GAA version, which in my humble opinion, would be a smash hit!

Drive To Survive lands on Netflix on Friday, March 11th. Catch the Trailer below:

It’s been a wild two years but for a lot of us, things are starting to return to how we once knew them.

Many people are headed back to offices, nights out are resuming and while most of it is positive, no one can deny that there were some habits we’ve lost over the past two years that should stay there.

We recently got this email into [email protected]

Hi Dermot and Dave-I’m back in the office and I’m mostly loving it…but all of the bad habits I thought I lost during Covid are coming back. I’m staying late, snacking on the commute and then being too full to eat dinner. I’m snapping at my husband cause I feel like he’s doing nothing all day (he’s still at home). I want to keep up the balance I had WFH but still be in the office…does that make sense? HELP.

Clinical Hypnotherapist from The Positive Habit Fiona Brennan joined Dermot and Dave with some advice

When Stephanie was 18, she found herself out of the care system and looking after herself as an adult, but it's only now at the age of 26 that she really feels independent.

At the age of 19, Stephanie's rental accommodation was no longer available, and she found herself unable to secure an alternative. She spent several months in and out of homeless hostels, being robbed or encountering drug use.

With the help of Focus Ireland, Stephanie has secured somewhere to come home to, where she can cook, clean and sleep soundly knowing that she is safe.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Stephanie explained the importance of having somewhere to call 'home', and why she believes emergency accommodation urgently needs to be looked at.

On Friday March 11th, TodayFM and Focus Ireland will be tuning our guitars, and doing our vocal warm-ups for 'The Big Busk', there'll be over 100 events taking part across the country.

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 been such a busy week for Team D&D.

Firstly, Dave finally lived out his nerd dreams when he got to take to the simulated skies, and briefly, join the Irish Air Corp. No spoilers, but he might have been better than we all thought! Head to TodayFM’s Instagram to see some of the footage from the big day.

Dermot has been all around the country with his ‘Mind Full’ tour but we think the real highlight for him is this dog video.
