Tiger King has been the talk of the world for the past few weeks.

Joe Exotic and co. have been the number one trending show on Netflix sine lockdown was announced, with over 65 million people tuning into the documentary series.

But now fans of the show have more Tiger King to look forward to, after it was announced that a movie is to be made depicting the story of the beef between Carol Baskin and Joe Exotic.

What makes it more exciting for us is that Cillian Murphy is one of the favourites to play Joe in the movie, due to go into production in 2021. Other actors in the running for the role include Brad Pitt, Robert Sheehan and Matthew McConaughey.

There is no word yet as to who may play Carol Baskin.

Maria revealed the details as part of her Entertainment News. Hit play to her more, including the two new Hollywood babies due to be born this year.

Cian Towmey is one of the biggest comedians in Ireland, racking up over 5 million followers on Facebook.

In 2016 he shot to fame when he started posting videos online, making fun of his relationship with his girlfriend Emily.

Cian went on to become one of the most famous comedians in the country, appearing on a number of TV and radio shows to promote his hilarious content, but behind the scenes he was battling with some mental health issues.

In February 2019 he tweeted "I made the decision to finally visit the doctor for social anxiety. Since getting prescribed to anti anxiety medication, I’ve been able to try all of the restaurants I’ve been too afraid to ever walk to and today I went to the cinema for the first time in 2 years. Life is good". 

Cian joined Dermot & Dave this morning to speak about he is dealing with his anxiety and also reveal how Covid-19 interrupted his plans to make his onstage comeback.

It's six week now since many Irish businesses were forced to close down due to Covid-19 restrictions.

However, a group of volunteers have gotten together in Limerick to ensure that some of those small businesses that were forced to shut can maintain some level of business with a new initiative.

The website Lean On Me uses smart technology and a simple idea. But it relies on everyone else to come on board to work really well. They want to connect up every person who feels that they can share even small amounts of cash now with their favourite business to that business. By paying now for a voucher to be used in the future the business gets immediate cash to pay for the bills which keep arriving in the post while their income has disappeared. Together we are stronger.  They rely on these businesses in good times. We are asking them to lean on us now to get through this difficult time.

One of the Raunchiest Irish TV shows to ever be made will hit our screens this week.

Normal People  is a TV adaptation of the hugely popular book by Irish novellist Sally Rooney. It’s a 12 parter and the first two episodes are on RTE Tuesday night.

It’s already streaming on the BBC iPlayer is on BBC One over tonight and is getting RAVE reviews. Set in Ireland, it tells the love story between Connell, the well-liked good looking student and Marianne the unpopular loner. One caveat though, it’s meant to be FILTHY with lots of adult scenes, so defo one for when the kids have gone to bed.

OTHER PICKS:

The Act: RTE2, Wednesdays. First 5 episodes are on the RTE Player. It’s a true crime series that tells the real life story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and the murder of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard who accused of abusing her daughter by fabricating illness and disabilities as a direct consequence of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Patricia Arquette (Medium/Boyhood) plays Dee Dee and won an Emmy for it.

RUN - Sky Comedy Wednesday 9pm and NowTV: Stars our own Domhnall Gleeson and Meritt Weaver who people will know from the Netflix series Unbelievable which was huge last year. It’s also co-created by Phoebe Waller Bridge (Fleabag/Killing Eve) and written by her writing partner Vicky Jones. Really interesting premise-they’re exes from college who set a pact that if one or the other of them ever send a text saying ‘Run’. They’d drop everything and do that. Ruby, Merritt Weaver, gets that text from Billy, Domhnall Gleeson, and walks out on her life to meet him on a cross-US train. It’s two episodes in so far and it’s really good, bit filthy, very funny and mysterious.

These were some of the picks from Maria's Telly today, his play to listen in full.

There are many old wives' tales out there that are said to bring on labour, but we've never heard of Dermot & Dave being one.

But for one woman who was watching Today FM's: Know It All Ireland Quiz on Saturday night, it turned out to be exactly what she needed to bring on child birth.

Elaine in Mullingar tuned into Today FM's social media for a chilled night with the hubby and have the craic with Dermot & Dave. The first few rounds of the quiz passed without any issues for her, however when Noni popped up on screen, Elaine noticed that something wasn't right. No, it wasn't the look of Noni's gone off chocolate - she had in fact gone into labour.

Elaine and her husband were forced to abandon Dermot & Dave's quiz (which they were doing quite well in) and head to Mullingar hospital, where a just few hours later they welcomed a baby boy into the world.

No, she didn't call him Dermot or Dave, but to hear what did name Today FM's newest listener, and hear the touching story of how her husband still hasn't seen his new son, hit play above.

Gyms are closed, you can't walk further than 2km from your house and the fridge is RIGHT THERE. It's nearly impossible to stay motivated in these trying times, especially now that Saturday nights have become less Netflix and chill and more Netflix and fill (my belly)

And even if you were Mr Motivated at the start of lockdown, it's hard to keep going. The home gym is getting dusty, the runners 'hurt your feet' and Joe Wicks' videos 'aren't loading'.

Don't worry, we're all in the same boat.

That's why our man Ronan Murphy from TonedFit and VKNG Built has stepped in with some top tips to stay motivated, and stay fit at home.

He joined Dermot and Dave this morning for the chats!
