With the news that restrictions are set to remain in place for another number of weeks, there's been a lot of discussion around the impact lockdown has had on various groups from older people to children.

Gillian is a young person living and working on her own in Co Meath, her family are across the country and the recent bad weather has meant that for the most part, she's been stuck inside her own home.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Gillian explained that she feels that when you're young and living alone, you tend to be forgotten about by the Government.

The surname 'Musk' may bring up one name in your head, but unsurprisingly, the richest man in the world comes from a woman just as successful as him.

Maye Musk came from a family where they lived by the motto 'Live dangerously, carefully' and spent her childhood going on incredible trips with her adventurous parents. She had both a successful modelling career in her home of South Africa, and has received two Masters' Degrees in the world of nutritional science and dietetics.

After getting married young and having three children in three years, Maye left her abusive husband and raised the children on her own.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Maye explained her outlook on life:

“You can be fearless and not be successful, but we all had good goals. Whatever we wanted to do would be better for society and good for other people. If you’re going to do something that is better for the community then there is a chance that you will be successful and all of my kids do that.”

While all three of her children have had great success, the most famous is her eldest, tech entrepreneur Elon.  But like all Mammy's Maye worries about the kids and how hard they're working

Elon asked, “should I do rockets or electric cars or solar?” And I said just “choose one you’ve been working so hard. Just choose one.” He doesn’t listen to me obviously.”

Worried or not, there's one thing Maye Musk isn't worried about and that is whether or not Elon will make it to Mars, in fact she believes 'he's the only man to make it to Mars'.

In a long chat with Dermot and Dave, Maye revealed how she balanced a successful career as a dietician, a modelling career spanning 50 years and raising 3 children on her own.

And of course, we had to ask her how to pronounce her grandson's name: 'X Æ A-12' (and it's easier than you think!)

Catch the extended chat with Maye Musk below, and read more of her story in her book 'A Woman Makes A Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty and Success'.

It's arguably one of the most famous destinations in the world, but big changes could be coming to Amsterdam's Red Light District.

The Mayor of the city is on a mission to revamp the city with the aim to attract a 'better quality tourist'. At the moment, tourists account for around 70% of the custom in the area.

Under the plan, he has proposed moving the Red Light district, known for being the hub of sex work in the city, to another location. This is something that 93% of sex workers are against and one of those workers joined Dermot and Dave to explain why.

'Brenda' has been a sex worker for seven years and is involved in the Prostitution Information Centre who are leading the campaign to keep the windows of the Red Light District as is as those who work there are happy and safe.

Anyone who has ever encountered a burpee probably has a question, and that question is, whyyyyyyyyyyy?

For anyone who hasn't encountered a burpee, they look something like this.

And they are as unpleasant as you might imagine.

But, it turns out that there's a very good reason as to why we torture ourselves all in the name of getting healthier.

For Mind Yourself Now, fitness expert Ronan Murphy from TonedFit and Vkng Built explained the 'whys' of some of your least favourite exercises from burpees to lunges and also why we all should be taking rest days.
