Lyn-ott or line-ott? Phil, Phillip or Philo? A very ambitious and driven businessman or a lost soul taken from us too soon?

2021 will mark the 35th anniversary of the death of one of Ireland's most prolific musicians, Phillip Lynott and a new Irish-made documentary is exploring the life of the Thin Lizzy front man through his own words.

Emer Reynolds, who is a massive Thin Lizzy fan, directed 'Phil Lynott: Songs For While I'm Away' and she joined Dermot and Dave to explain how she managed to get some of Phil's most beloved friends and families to share their stories and why she wanted to tell the real story of Phillip.

This has been a tough enough year for everyone but adding in grief and bereavement and not having the support there in person has made it even more difficult.

In a Mind Yourself Now special with Dermot and Dave, Orla Keegan Head of Education and Bereavement Services at the Irish Hospice Foundation, discussed how to tackle grief in your life and how 2020 could change the way we speak about the subject.

The Irish Hospice Foundation has developed a section on its website that specifically deals with grief during the pandemic, and it includes advice and information to help people of all ages who are grieving.  Its national freephone bereavement service can be reached on 1800 80 70 77 from 10am to 1pm, Monday to Friday.

On Christmas Day, millions of families around the world will be snuggled on the couch, stuffed full of turkey and chocolate watching Mrs Browns Boys and the O'Carroll family will be no different!

Except for one small thing, they're the family behind what is one of Ireland's biggest exports and a worldwide phenomenon.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, the man behind the Mrs, Brendan O'Carroll himself explained how the whole family celebrate Christmas in matching PJs and by watching the show together.

Brendan also revealed how the tight-knit crew have come to work so closely together and the one thing that'll get you fired from the show!

This week Dermot had some serious DIY and tech woes, Dave has a new idea for a present for his wife (remember the bin??!) and we finally get to the bottom of the weighted blanket issue.

It's filled with Foleys, McGraths, Dwyers and Riordans from places like Carrick on Suir, Youghal and Limerick, it's surrounded by the Atlantic and the residents of Tilting love a good session in a shed.

While that may sound like it could be anywhere on this island, the most Irish place in the world is actually about 3000 miles directly across the ocean from here.

Tilting is a small community on Fogo Island in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and it is full to the brim of Irish people!

Maureen Foley, resident of Tilting, joined Dermot and Dave to explain how her ancestors ended up setting up home in Tilting and how they all still speak with an Irish accent hundreds of years later!
