We all think we're rational beings when it comes to big sales around Black Friday and Christmas, until we're in the shop grabbing those rollerblades we'll never wear or that dress that we know is hideous.

It happens to most of it, but there's a psychological reason why and most shops are happy to help us on the way to part with our cash!

Sarah Strange is a lecturer in marketing in TU Dublin and she spoke to Dermot and Dave about the psychology behind shopping.

Have you ever actually checked where the meat you buy in a supermarket originally comes from? Well if it's from the UK, you might not be seeing it on your local supermarket shelves anymore.

With Brexit fast approaching, certain rules might stop the distribution of meat from the UK into EU countries.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, reporter with TheJournal.ie Grainne Ni Aodha explains what this actually means for consumers here in Ireland.

Ever remember something but only about 90% of it and then it's stuck in your head for the day and it's driving you up.the.walls?

That's where we're at with this question from Jen Grace in Louth.

Jen got in touch with Dermot and Dave after many hours of trying to find a particular classic ad.

[audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2020/11/25133818/JenNameTheAd.mp3"][/audio]

Here's what we know: 

It was an 'Oliver Twist' style ad with a boy with blonde hair.

When he asks for some more, the man roared 'MORE'.

It was in the 80s!

We had thousands of suggestions from listeners, but Jen says that it is not these:

We know! Our heads are wrecked too!

Can you remember the ad?

Getting fit is hard at the best of times but during a pandemic when you can't go to a gym, or leave your own 5km radius, it's even more difficult.

For our gang taking part in Your Personal Best with Dermot and Dave and Sport Ireland-they've been working with Your Personal Best Fitness Expert Paul Opperman to come up with a plan that combines at home workouts and outdoor exercises to get active.

Jimmy Prior, 56 from Limerick

Jimmy fessed up to the lads last week that he was physically sick after his first at home workout but this week has been much kinder to him.

He's been doing at home workouts twice a week and out walking three days of the week, come hail, rain or shine!

And even when he's in work!

John Dineen, 39 from Cork

Before we met John, he'd been on something of a fitness journey. In September, after hitting his heaviest weight in a long time, John had joined the gym and was on a strict diet.

Since starting Your Personal Best, John has found a workout plan that looks something like this...

The main thing for John has been changing his outlook around fitness. While had been back at the gym before embarking on Your Personal Best, he was being far too restrictive and focused on losing weight.

John explained to Dermot and Dave that he's now found the balance between getting fit and living life.

Paul Opperman is Your Personal Best fitness expert and he explained how small changes make big differences. 

When it comes to fitness, everything is fixable.

Stop pitting yourself against the pal who loves a marathon.

Put on your runners and just start. 

Try the 'talk test', ring someone or socially distance walk or run with a pal and make sure that you can still hold a conversation.

Making friends on the internet can be hard, especially when you're going about it all right.

Sir Michael is the incredible character created by Irish comic Michael Cunningham. Sir Michael just wants some help on the internet, and he's just a bit clueless, if INCREDIBLY frustrating for others to deal with.

Thankfully, the results are hilarious and thousands of people around the world have been following Sir Michael's requests to buy blue buckets and sell bunting.

Michael Cunningham joined Dermot and Dave to chat about his new book 'How to Almost Make Friends on the Internet' and explained how he manages to rile up randomers!
