Dermot & Dave

We know, it may seem like it makes no sense…but have you ever heard the old tale that redheads feel more pain or that they’re more resistant to anesthetic? Maybe you’ve heard that they suffer more dental anxiety? There’s a lot of myths around dentistry and for a Mind Yourself Now special, we were joined by Dr Jennifer Collins lead general dentist at Northumberland Dental Care in Dublin 4 and clinical director of the Dental Care Ireland group to do a quick fact-check!

Dermot (finally!) actually managed to get on a plane this week, but not before being driven demented by checklists from airline. His solution? Send his own one. First thing, make plane fly. That wasn’t the only air-news we had this week, Leo Enright joined the lads to explain all about the new NASA telescope, but when he wasn’t on the line…things got a little bit bonkers.

'Oh Limerick, you're a lady' To celebrate All-Ireland hurling final week, Cathal paid a visit to the home of reigning All-Ireland champions and the county gunning for 3 in-a-row, Limerick!

Who needs singers or songwriters these days? Artificial Intelligence has taken over our lives, and now, it's taking over our music. We've already heard A.I imagining what it'd sound like if Amy Winehouse or Kurt Cobain were still alive, but now, they've moved onto boybands. In Dave's World, we heard what the future of music could sound like.

Does your week revolve around bouncing from football to ballet, gymnastics to swimming all while trying to cram in violin, homework and dinner? For many parents, this is the reality and it doesn’t let up in the summer hols or during the weekends. Whether it’s pre-planned activities or playdates, the past few years have seen many parents fill the week with events. But what if everyone just slowed down a bit? Trine Jensen Burke from HerFamily.ie saw the benefits of having everything slow down during the pandemic, and has decided to keep it up as life returns to as it was before. She joined Dermot and Dave to explain all.

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt recently revealed that he’s been suffering with prosopagnosia, a condition more commonly known as ‘face blindness’. The actor revealed that he struggles to the point that it makes him not want to leave his house for fear that he’ll be considered as being ‘conceited’ as well as the stress of being surrounded by people he doesn’t recognise. Prosopagnosia is a neurological condition that is incredibly hard to both diagnose, and to treat. To explain more about it, Dermot and Dave were joined by neuroscientist and host of the Super Brain podcast Sabina Brennan.

It's the size of a tennis court, it cost $10 billion and now, the James Webb Space Telescope is showing us space in a way that we've never seen it before. NASA enlisted US President Joe Biden to reveal the first images from the telescope that NASA chief Bill Nelson says show the 'deepest image of our Universe that has ever been taken'. After launching into space back into December, it currently finds itself about 1.5 million kilometres from Earth and is providing us with information and images that could completely change everything we know about what's beyond our own planet. Leo Enright joined Dermot and Dave to explain what we could see, and what it could mean!

Have you booked a flight? Had a flight cancelled? Missed a flight because of security? Lost your bags? Travelling in 2022 is, let's face it, a total nightmare and not helping matters are the checklists from airlines reminding us all of the things we already know.

Government Buildings is a serious place where big decisions are made about the future of our country. It’s also a place where politicians say things that are, quite frankly, often ridiculous and usually hilarious.

When our Maria finished up on maternity leave, the fabulous Pamela Joyce was ready to step into Maria's fuzzy slippers to bring us the telly goodness. The only issue? She of course needed her own song. Not gonna lie, we're obsessed with the result.
