Don't get caught in the nip!

When I say "nip", I mean "don't get caught in the chilly air" - not in the nude. But don't get caught naked in your car either.

Now that's cleared up, let's get back to the hacks.

Dave's World offers us some essentials motoring tips now that winter is upon us. They include a sandwich bag, kitty litter and he even teaches us how to make wiper fluid.

Dave Moore is the only gift we need this Christmas!

"When you're backed into a corner and you've no other option but death, you'll do whatever it takes"

Vicky Phelan is a lady who's name will echo throughout the future generations of this country for what she has done, and continues to do, for the women of Ireland.

But her courage and resilience were evident long before the CervicalCheck scandal reared its ugly head.

A couple of months back, Vicky released her book 'Overcoming: A Memoir' that shares her remarkable personal story, from a life-threatening accident at the age of 19 through to motherhood, a battle with depression, the cancer scandal and the ensuing detective-like scrutiny of events that led the charge for her history-making legal action.

Vicky joined Dermot and Dave to guide us through the process of her writing and explain why she strives to look on the bright side of life .

The 45-year-old starts by saying, "I would have always kept journals over the years...because I couldn't afford counselling". She admits to finding it very therapeutic, "once I dumped it onto a page I felt it was just kinda gone".

Not only was it a form of healing for her, she hopes it will also act as an explanation for her children Amelia and Darragh in the future, "when I started last year I didn't know if I'd be here, that's the reality. I was doing it for the kids so that they know stuff about me I mightn't have had the chance to tell them".

One of the reasons I wanted to write the book was to show people...I think people had this kind of feeling that I'm some kind of Superwoman, I'm not. I have dealt with things very badly at times

The campaigner also reveals the harrowing details of that car crash she had in France (where her boyfriend died and she received catastrophic injuries) and her daughter being severely burned in an accident at home seven years ago.

When asked what she thought of Leo Varadkar's apology, Phelan says, "I wasn't really invested in the apology myself because I suppose myself, Stephen Teap and Lorraine Walsh, the other two patient advocates, we've done so much work over the past 18 months ourselves that that has helped me get over the anger and do something about it".

It's amazing - even through more hardship than any one person should ever have to experience, Vicky still has a wicked sense of humour, oozes positivity and fights for what is right.

Overcoming couldn't be any more the perfect title for her memoir and is fully deserved of its An Post Irish Book Award.

Here's to a very Happy Christmas to her and her family in New Zealand this December and a happy 2020. Her brother Robbie owes her one for getting a shout out from Noni.

You're gonna love Shane MacGowan's new music

It’s Wednesday, and you know what Wednesday means - it’s time to Say Stuff That Suits The Music!

We kinda get where he's coming from but no, just no Dave!

"Ding dong merrily on high, it's time for Christmas shop-ping".

We know it's still a tad early to mention the "C" word, but it seems nowadays, once November 1st kicks in, it's Ho Ho Ho time.

One man who's getting into the festive spirit good and early is Dermot and Dave co-host Dave Moore.

Now as anyone with a long term partner will tell you, it gets increasingly more difficult to buy for your other half as the years go on.

Thankfully for Dave (but not his wife Tracy), he has come across a high-tech gadget he's sure Tracy will love. It's practical, modern and will certainly be a surprise. Introducing....the Xiaomi Townew Smart Bin:

Jonny Buckland: "we're probably not going to do much touring next year, if any"

Coldplay have been quite the tease over the past few weeks with their cryptic images and typewritten messages to fans.

This was all of course some excellent marketing ahead of the release of their 8th studio album, Everyday Life, which is out this Friday (November 22nd).

The Kerry man chats public transport, Star Wars and milky teeth

Over the past 12 months or so, Bernard Casey's online comedy channels have exploded with thanks to his two most popular characters - 'Local Gossip' & 'Nephew'.

I'm sure you've clicked into his videos on social media at some stage, where you would have been greeted with milky-toothed hilarity.

He's a new type of comic; young and rural yet very current, and his observations are spot on. We ALL know a local gossip!

Here he is in action:

Described as, "A wonderfully well crafted performer with a great old school style of storytelling" by Tommy Tiernan, Casey's live shows are just as impressive.

Today FM's Dermot and Dave caught up with the Portmagee native to learn more about his creations, who he describes as "everyone and noone" at the same time.

They also learn what life was like for the Star Wars cast during their stint in the kingdom, why he loves public transport so much, and his missus buying him a ridiculous amount of milky teeth.

He's even got a little something going with Noni:

The Blame Game knows no boundaries

Comedian Neil Delamere is keeping busy as ever with BBC topical panel show The Blame Game and a brand new comedy show called End of Watch.

The Offaly man popped into Dermot and Dave to chat about what he has going on and explain how the heck this happened back in October:

Ehhh.. we just got mentioned in the House of Commons @BBCnireland #brexit pic.twitter.com/a0iP4g5kLO

— Neil Delamere (@neildelamere) October 7, 2019

He's still pinching himself!

Talking about the popularity of The Blame Game, Neil says; "we get something like 15,000 applications for tickets for 300 audience seats".

 

He also explains the craic he's had with the inspiration behind his new show - his dad. They're having one hell of a time!
