It’s been announced that NPHET, as we know them, will soon cease to exist as the Government, and the country, look to move to the next phase of the Covid-19 pandemic.

There’s no denying that the past two years have seen incredible grief, hardship and devastation.

But, through the awful moments, there’s something we can always rely on, people making comments that make you say…’wait, what now?’

There’s been quite a few over the past two years and TodayFM news’ Andrew Lowth joined Dermot and Dave to run through some of the best.

After nearly 80 days at sea, completely alone, Karen is a couple of hundred nautical miles from her finish line in Barbados.

While it hasn't always been easy, the sports psychologist and lecturer at MTU has kept the head down, pushed through and kept the positivity levels up.

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!

Ever have a song stuck in your head but you can’t figure out what it is? That’s what happened to our Dermot this week, and he felt the best thing to do would be to annoy both the team, and the nation, by playing it for us. Thankfully, our listeners are full of smarts, and had it within minutes.

It was a big week for Dermot-his live shows kicked off, it was his birthday, and he got his annual ‘Dad Report’ card.

Dermot wasn’t the only one with a big week, Dave had big huge news. The Instagram World Cups are back, and he kicked it off with a doozy. Three words-best.deli.fillings. Justice for stuffing!

We heard about the big changes at Shannon Airport, the best Superbowl ads and a ‘reverse condom’.

Plus all your faves from Noni’s love of musicals to Say Stuff That Suits the Music, and Dave’s Bad Jokes!

Spending the whole day on a bus is something many of us have done, but few will have planned to give their Saturday over to public transport.

Meet Royal. She’s an 18 month old lurcher who was found emaciated and about to give birth to a litter of pups in a pound.

[audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2022/02/18105853/KarlaMitchell_1802.mp3"][/audio]

Royal was, thankfully, fostered where she raised 5 healthy and happy puppies.

However, Royal is an example of a much larger problem in Ireland.

Dog rescues are at a crisis point, they’ve been a huge increase in people abandoning their pets as life returns to normal.

Often times, like Royal, they’re not spayed or neutered resulting in vet bills, or in more pups being born in heart breaking circumstances.

Some dogs will have health issues from bad breeding practices, others will have come from puppy farms.

A new campaign, Smooches For Pooches, is hoping to help raise some much needed funds to help the charities most in need.

Karla Mitchell from Cara Rescue joined Dermot and Dave to explain what the money is needed for, and to share Royal’s story.
