It’s free, you get rid of bits you don’t want, you get brand new clothes and it’s good for the environment.

The benefits of clothes swapping seem unending, and now, one Cork woman is hoping to make it bigger than ever!

Joy O’Leary has been clothes swapping for years now, and after struggling to find somewhere that offered it regularly, decided to set up her own weekly event!

A lot of us haven’t dealt with cash in a very long time as everything turns contactless, but are those unused coins in our piggy banks worth more than we think?

According to Kevin, some Euro coins could be worth thousands if you’re lucky enough to come across a special one. Kevin A.K.A Eire Euro Coins runs a very popular YouTube channel that takes a deep dive into some of the coins he has collected over the years.

Kevin joined Dermot and Dave to chat about his own collection and what we should look out for on the coins we have at home.

It involves a cult and a missing person, enough said!

For Maria's Telly, Producer Maria told Dermot and Dave what's on the box this week including a documentary about the life of Georgina Rodríguez, the partner of soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. This is a show for both soccer fans and the people who have no interest in soccer at all.

Do you sleep with any of the following? A sleep talker, a sleep walker, a snorer, a jolter or worse, a twitcher. When we love someone enough to share a bed with them, we don't often think about the other side of it. The possibility that they're difficult to sleep next to.

But do we actually need to share a bed with the person we love? The answer is...maybe not!

In a Mind Yourself Now special, sleep consultant Tom Coleman revealed the benefits of separate beds and answered your questions on everything from sleep paralysis to falling asleep on the bus.

He is one of the games most decorated players, Tommy Walsh is a Kilkenny Hurling Legend with a mere 8 all Irelands to his name! Tommy is getting involved in a very special fundraiser for two vital organisations. The Hurling For Hope fundraiser in aid of Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation & Irish Motor Neuron Disease Association is taking place in March and Tommy joined Dermot and Dave to tell them all about it.

Tommy also had a chat about his former team mate Henry Shefflin who has taken up a new role with the Galway Senior Hurling Team and Tommy looked ahead to a very exciting hurling championship.

There are best friends who will be there when you need a rant, there are best friends who will come collect you from the airport after your holliers, and then there are best friends who will spend an entire weekend in your back garden building you a bespoke 'outdoor room'.

[audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2022/01/24105141/ManCaveUpdate_2401.mp3"][/audio]

Dave Moore is one of those friends. When Dermot asked him to build a new room in his back garden, DIY mad Dave was only too happy to gather a gang of other building enthusiasts and get to work.

We had advice from former Room to Improve Quantity Surveyor Lisa O'Brien, Diarmuid Gavin shared some 'tips' but once the work started, it was all on Dave. And Dermot, who went for dinner, and meditated and did make some tea. Apparently.

All weekend, powered by tea and sausage sambos, Dave and his mates spent HOURS constructing this absolute beaut.

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!

This week was all about DIY. What started as a simple IKEA project for Dermot turned into a Saturday afternoon with builder Dave. But that’s not it, buoyed with confidence, they’re now embarking on a proper full on man cave project.

 

🧱 Dermot & Dave: (Try) To Build A Mancave 🧱⁰@DaveTodayFM is on construction, while @DermotTodayFM takes ‘project management’ role - taking care of the tea & sambos🥪☕️⁰Keep an eye on our Instagram stories all weekend to catch the progress…or lack thereof 😂 pic.twitter.com/e8KhBC11c9

Yes, Dave is essentially building a man cave for Dermot. No, you’re crying.

He’s not doing it without getting some help, former Room to Improve star Lisa O’Brien, and our favourite gardener, Diarmuid Gavin stopped by with some tips.

While that is a serious feat, it’s nothing compared to Karen Weekes. The Galway woman is rowing across the Atlantic, solo. We caught up with her to see how she’s getting on and found out about her run in with a hammerhead shark.

We discovered what the worst road in Ireland is, fantasised about winning the lotto and met the Irish man who left his immersion on for years without realising it. We’ll need the weekend to recover from the shock.

Plus all your faves from Say Stuff That Suits the Music, to Dave’s Bad Jokes, and caught up with Noni in the middle of her spring clean.

Pamela Joyce was in for an Ask Me Anything special with Dermot and Dave ahead of her new lunchtime show next Monday. We wanted to know Pamela a little bit better so the lads asked her all the important questions like, How did you react when you heard the news you were getting the job? What was your first job in radio? Who is your favourite sister?
