Whether it's a pandemic or not, striking work life balance has long been argued as key to finding happiness.

We've seen discussions around shorter working days, we've seen countries implement four day working weeks, but new research has shown that the secret to happiness could all come down to one day a week.

Professor Brendan Burchell from the Faculty of Human, Social, and Political Science at the University of Cambridge in the UK has done a massive study of 5000 people during the past year to find the perfect combination of work and life and even he was surprised by the results.

Professor Burchell joined Dermot and Dave with his findings and explained how this could change the way we work forever.

While some rules in life are set in stone, in Ireland there are millions, yes millions, of 'tiny no-nos'.

They're the things that someone does that raises eyebrows or that they will never be forgotten for whether that's mixing blackcurrant with Guinness or the ULTIMATE Irish no-no, saying no to a cuppa.

Comedian Bernard O'Shea has been putting a lot of thought into these tiny no-nos, and he joined Dermot and Dave with the biggest and most controversial ones.

When Mick Cassidy was growing up in Dublin he loved nothing more than drawing and dinosaurs, but he could never have imagined that his first job would be working on an animated feature about dinosaurs.

Making the bold decision to leave school, Mick went to work with Bluth animations working on films like 'The Land Before Time' and 'All Dogs Go to Heaven'

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, the Dubliner explained how he went from working here in Dublin to Phoenix and then on to Los Angeles where he's worked on films like 'The Prince of Egypt' and 'The Tigger Movie'. 

For over 15 years however, Mick has been working on one of the biggest animated series in the world, Family Guy.

Mick joined Dermot and Dave to explain how he landed the gig on Family Guy, what it's like working on such a massive show and how he spent the day hanging around with Dave Grohl before getting his beard shaved by James Hetfield from Metallica.

Yes, really.

How many times have you woken after the clocks change and had to Google the time 'just to be sure'?

If it's confusing for us adults, it must be even more confusing for children who will struggle to know what time to wake up at. And for parents, this can lead to early starts and cranky babies.

Thankfully, help is on hand with Kelly Geoghegan from SleepyStars is on hand with some top tips!

For listener Jay in Wexford, driving up the N11 got very exciting!

He was coming out of Wexford town when a meteor whizzed by the window of his car. Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Jay explained that it was 'out of this world, shiny and had green flames trailing it'.

Of course, he came to TodayFM looking for answers, and answers we provided!

Professor Peter Gallagher from Dunsink Observatory hopped on the line to explain what Jay might have seen and what to do if you come across some of the leftovers!
