With countries in lockdown, pubs and clubs closed and everyone told to stay at home, it was assumed that the use of illegal drugs like cocaine would reduce.

However, Investigations Editor of the Sunday World Nicola Tallant, told Dermot and Dave that this appears to not be the case and much like alcohol, people have started to use at home.

Nicola joined Dermot and Dave for an Ask Me Anything special where she spoke about her incredible career, security concerns and why some criminals are given nicknames.

Our favourite chawwwwklllit seller from Limerick has a fella...we think?

Back in October, Noni announced that she'd gotten something of a love letter from a mysterious poet, Lorenzo.

Today, she joined Dermot and Dave with some big news.

Lorenzo has been in touch again.

As Lorenzo is anonymous, their affair must continue over the airwaves and Noni has another poem in response.

And it's saucier than the gravy from Chicken Hut.

Have you ever wondered why there are ''No Mobile Phones Allowed'' signs stuck up near petrol pumps at a forecoret.

In November, campaigner Vicky Phelan announced that her cancer was growing back slowly and that she would be travelling to Maryland in the United States for experimental treatment.

The Limerick native, who opened the door for hundreds of women caught up in the cervical check scandal, will spend six months away from her family in the hopes of prolonging her life.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave from her apartment in the US, Vicky explained the decision to travel, the emotion of leaving her children in Ireland and how Irish people in the States have rallied behind her.

I wonder how close we would be in predicting what the world will look like in the year 2121. With the way things are going, probably not close at all.

For Dave's World, Dave brought us some very interesting predictions that were made in the year 1921 regarding 2021. Some were close enough, but other were very wrong. Including 'Flying Policemen'!

It'll be a busy day for the Biden family today but it's an even busier day for the staff in the White House.

Once the incoming US President is inaugurated at Capitol Hill, the clock starts ticking to get the former President out and the new President in. Everything has to be changed from the mattresses to the curtains, the First Family's belongings are unpacked, their favourite food put in the fridge and even their toothbrushes put in their holders.

Comedian Jim Elliott , who is from Washington, joined Dermot and Dave to spill the beans on the busiest day in the White House, what was in Trump's bedroom and why the new US President will be getting on his bike!
