For people who struggle with addiction issues or who have found themselves homeless, the thoughts of taking part in a team sport that sees them travel the world playing a sport seems like a million miles away.

However, this is a reality for members of the Irish Homeless Street League which is the focus of a brand new film.

'Street Leagues' tells the story of the Irish women and men's team as they prepare to travel to the Homeless Football World Cup from getting their caps to competing and seeing how their lives changed in the aftermath.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Tara McNeill from the Irish Homeless Street League told her story of going from living on the streets of Dublin to representing her country on the international stage.

The film is out September 25th and director Daniel Holmes told Dermot and Dave that he's excited for people to see the incredible work that the Irish Homeless Street League does.

How many times have you said 'If you don't get off that iPad/Playstation/Laptop/Phone...I'm going to have to take it away'?

Parents around the world have faced having to confiscate their children's toys since time began, but what happens when you forget where the contraband has been safely put away.

That is what happened to Galway Mammy Louise who got in touch with Dermot and Dave.

After a battle, she took her 10-year old Darragh's iPad away and hid it in a 'safe space', but sadly she's unable to remember where exactly this safe space is. She's checked every cupboard and press in the house, worried that it was in the recycling and even checked her knicker drawer but there's still no sign.

And it turns out, she's not the only one! Parents around the country got in touch with their stories of confiscations gone awry.

There's no red carpet, no potential for a trip up the stairs but Hollywood award season kicked off this weekend with the Emmy Awards.

And while we'll missing hearing 'WHO ARE YOU WEARING', there's still plenty of glitz and glamour, plus you can see into famous people's houses.

Dermot and Dave producer Maria had all the goss of how you can watch the show plus the TV show she's currently obsessing over.

Most parents are used to hearing their children coming across spiders, woodlice and slugs in the back garden but one Offaly mother had quite the shock when her son discovered one of the world's deadliest snakes while out and about.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, James Hennessy from the National Reptile Zoo explained how he got a call from the Kilmurray family in Offaly after 9-year-old Fionn found a snake in the garden of their family home.

What the Kilmurray family didn't know was that it was a 'saw-scaled viper' which is one of the world's deadliest snakes. While there are snakes that have more venom, their speed, aggression and ability to camouflage into their surroundings means that they cause more deaths than all other venomous snakes combined. Due to the fact that they don't exist on the island, there is very little anecdote available.

James told Dermot and Dave how it appears that the snake travelled over from another country in a shipment of limestone paving slabs and is now in the National Reptile Zoo where it'll be rehomed somewhere else in Europe.

Remember back in February when there was a general election and we all thought that'd be the biggest news story for quite a while?

So did Virgin Media News reporter Richard Chambers who probably hasn't been off his phone, or slept since.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave on Ask Me Anything, Richard spilled the beans on life at the front of a camera lens and how he manages to send Tweets and listen to press briefings at the same time.
