Drinking clay, weighted vests, bleeding nipples and going to mass, these are the things that marked the 40th year of Bernard O'Shea's life.

The comedian has fully committed to being in the 'Manopause', and he's taking us along for the ride in his new book of the same name.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Bernard revealed the impact that wearing a weighted vest, drinking a gallon of water and yes, the clay had on his body. Let's just say the Phoenix Park will never look the same to him again.

Bernard also revealed how working with our own Dermot Whelan has helped him to understand the world of meditation, even if it took a few afternoon naps to get there.

Fresh off the pitch from the end of Six Nations campaign, Ireland and Munster star Conor Murray joined Dermot and Dave to chat about his post-match recovery, which includes doing 100km in 21 days.

Yes, really.

Conor has recently been announced as an ambassador for Down Syndrome Ireland, and he's jumping into their 21 Day Challenge with gusto. They're looking for people around the country to run, cycle, jog or swim a distance of 100km in 21 days, as long as you abide by the current Government restrictions. By taking part, you will be helping to raise money which will allow DSI to continue providing essential services, programmes and supports to children and adults with Down syndrome right across the country.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, the scrum-half revealed how feelings were in the Irish camp after the disappointment against France, the one gym machine that makes him queasy and why he's given his dog a very human name.

They're two of the biggest movie stars in the world and now they're meeting on the small screen in a brand new thriller that will have you counting down the days to the next episode.

Our Maria has seen the first episode of The Undoing, starring Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman, and she had all the info on what it's all about in Maria's Telly on Dermot and Dave.

Just don't judge our Maria for not seeing the two best films of the past 10 years!

A few weeks back, we received this text from an anonymous listener:

My father is receiving cancer treatment and along with a myriad of other health issues is really struggling. As an only child I am all he has (my mother passed away a few years ago) and as a result he "offloads" going around and around in circles about wanting to die. I am finding it very difficult and would love advice on how to cope and help him cope with what's happening. Many thanks

For this weeks Mind Yourself Now with Dermot and Dave, Fiona Brennan from The Positive Habit explained the realities of compassion fatigue and how those who are looking after someone in their lives could avoid it while still being there for their loved one.

Nick Roche had almost given up on his dream of becoming a comic book artist when he got his dream job working for one of the biggest publishers in the world. Since then he's worked on things like Spiderman, Star Wars and Transformers.

However, for his latest series 'Scarenthood', he got to look a little bit closer to home for inspiration.

Speaking to Pamela Joyce on Dermot and Dave, Nick revealed how parenting has influenced his latest release which he described as being like 'a grown up Goonies'.

Scarenthood is out on the 11th of November.

How long does it take to complete a painting? Where do the ideas come from? Who gets to eat the fruit?

Henry Winkler best known for playing 'The Fonz' on Happy Days has been the cool guy on our screens for over four decades and he's back on Irish screens in an incredibly popular, if a little dark, TV show.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the accident which has created one of Ireland's biggest events.

In 2010, Mark Pollock fell from a second storey window, breaking his back and causing damage to his spinal cord which has left him paralyzed. Run in the Dark was established by the Mark Pollock trust to support Mark's journey to cure paralysis.

Usually, it's a massive event across 50 cities with 50,000 participants and while things might be a little different this year, there'll still be plenty of ways to get involved.

Speaking to Pamela Joyce on Dermot and Dave, Mark Pollock explained how Run in the Dark will be a huge virtual event.

To most, he's known as Patrick Brewer from the hit TV show 'Schitts Creek', but to TodayFM's Pamela Joyce, Noah Reid is a little green turtle who made her late for school in his role as 'Franklin' on the 90s children's TV show.

Only weeks after Schitts Creek won an incredible 9 Emmy's for its final season, Noah joined Pamela to chat about life after starring in one of the biggest shows of the decade and how one of the most iconic scenes from the series has inspired his music career.

Noah's second album 'Gemini' has just launched and the Canadian singer/songwriter is hoping to come to Ireland next year to perform as well as see some of the sights.

Hopefully he'll be prepared to bring his best Franklin impression with him.
