Mayo woman Mary O'Halloran is bringing the best of Irish grub to people all around New York City!

Since she opened Mary O's in Manhattan 11 years ago, she's been serving Irish abroad good homemade Irish food like shepherds pie, soda bread and a Dublin curry. But since Covid hit and Mary O's was forced to close, Mary has taken to helping those who need it most.

Mary joined Dermot and Dave to chat about her famous shepherds pies and how she's taken the business online.

While listeners to Dermot and Dave will know that our Dave is a Man Utd super fan, very few people know that our Dermot was once a massive fan of the Reds. He astounded everyone (including Dave) when he revealed a fact that's been stored in his brain since he was a young child watching the first Manchester United game broadcast on Irish television.

Dermot remembered watching an Irish player by the name of Liam O'Brien being sent off after around 90 seconds, a record for the club.

Liam O'Brien joined Dermot and Dave to explain what happened and spoke about his time at Old Trafford from working with the great Sir Alex to the support of the other Irish players.

A new study has revealed that the words our partner says could indicate that they might be about to end things. Researchers from the University of Texas analysed thousands of posts on social media site Reddit and found that words used in conversation could indicate how the relationship is going and whether or not they're considering a break up.

Chartered psychologist Louize Carroll joined Dermot and Dave to discuss the importance of listening to your other half.
