I think the Tony Cascarino sketch is good so I try listen on Fridays but otherwise I generally stitch over. Not gone on the choice of music either - bland after bland after bland (U2 followed by the Script followed by Coldplay followed by ....)

I think they try too hard to be funny and the constant laughing in the background at what the other fella says does my nut.

Maybe I'm just getting too old. Or maybe the smell of the turf fire has hard-wired my brain against "getting them" as suggested by a recent poster!

Their homegrown hero track this week is class. Only heard it for the first time today and immediately went and bought it.


EDIT: BP, I totally disagree on the music. I really enjoy the music they play. Good mix of older and newer stuff. Now, I've only been listening regularly for the past couple of weeks, so maybe after a while it'll grate if they play the same older tunes too often, but as of now I'm loving having it on as I'm working away here.

Though I did have to laugh at the fact that they were playing a song with Bono in it as I was typing this given you cited too much U2 as a problem. :pac:

Will be interesting to see the Q2 figures coming out. From where they were coming from an increase in 5000 listeners will probably guarantee their sacking

How do you figure that then?

Our radio has found its way back to Today FM and "say stuff" is on now. Easily the worst segment of radio ever. So contrived and the fake laughter in the back ground is cringey.

Wow i must get me one of those automatic radios!

I don't hear the laughter as fake tbh. To me it just sounds like Dave is just laughing at what Dermot is saying. Maybe it is all an act, but sounds real enough to me that it's not annoying.

Today's Say Stuff was a mixed bag really, the "You played that note with your willy" and "They'll all be taking morning after piiiilllls" made me laugh hard, but the rest was meh.

The show is 1 year old today. I think it's great. Perfect easy listening with a good mix of music and laughs

I love Tony Cascarino's club classics Very juvenile but never fails to make me laugh.

Cant believe these twits have been getting away with it for a year now. All they do are silly impressions, that lets be honest, are not very funny.

Are they Dave.........?

Stop fake laughing and answer the question.

You two sound like great craic

I really like the Dermot and Dave Show, moreso because you can tell they put a really effort into making the show entertaining.
I know there's haters out there but I think the lads are doing great. They've got a rarity on Irish radio - genuine talent!

Just because someone finds something funny that you don't find funny doesn't mean they have an ulterior motive, it means people are different and that's why the world goes around.

I enjoy their show too but it seems nowadays radio shows are being treated like music as in if it's too popular then it's uncool to like it.

BPKS

I find it tolerable in small doses. I tune in for maybe 20-30 minutes a day and that's enough for me.

The latest thing with some fella from Carlow saying something and the two lads breaking their holes laughing at it is the latest thing to annoy me. The constant need for one or both of them to make a joke and the other fella to laugh at it is what gets me most.

I find the Tony Cascarino Club Classics thing funny however.

There's a crane up in Carlow lads. The Boom is back

I think that's gas. I love the use of the Boast app. Anyone can send in a funny recorded message

That's a matter of opinion I suppose.

Even hearing the adds for their show on Today FM is toe-curlingly embarrassing.

I presume there are two of them so that when one of them says something idiotic the other one can laugh like moron in the background so that we, the audience, can tell that they've just done a funny.

This post says more about you than it does them

Mr.Prodston

I don't listen to the radio really, and haven't done so much in years but I always try to listen to Dermot and Dave when I can. That's the greatest compliment I can give them

I think it's a great show. Sure some of the music is played every day but that's radio innit.

You can tell they really get on and it feels, to me anyway, like an intimate bit of fun between good friends that we're privy to. Some sketches miss more than they hit but most of them really do land. At least they're trying and it's a damn sight more entertaining than most of what else is out there.

Perhaps I'm naive but I don't understand why people always have to give their negative thoughts on things ad nauseum without a hint of praise or appreciation that a lot of people do like it.

its one of the only few shows that are decent on irish radio. funny and a bit of craic and they tend to play decent music. I could'nt do without Tony Cascarino on a friday...........:D

Thanks for your contribution to the thread. We're all extremely interested to know that you don't like them. Now, I think I'll go over to the 'Liveline' thread and tell them I hate it

Sure, why not do some backseat modding while you're over there?

I think the dermot and dave show haters thread should be set up and leave all those who fall into the lovers category stay here.
