  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, some things that we associate with being Irish

  Speaker 2: that really got started in the US. Oh okay, yeah,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Like I mentioned earlier, love, corn beef and cabbage. The
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: cabbage part, yes, the corn beef. No, that started when
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: immigrants came here to New York City and the bacon

  Speaker 2: was too expensive for them and the corn beef was
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: more affordable.

• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Green beer started way back in nineteen fourteen at a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: social club in the Bronx. Doctor Thomas Hayes curtinin Irish
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Immigrant came up with the idea. He wanted the Scherner
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Club Sharener Club. Yeah, totally decked out in green, including
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the beer, and people have been drinking it ever since,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: which is safe, by the way, to have some. It's
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: just food, ye, Yeah, it's a little die, right, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: dyeing a river green. The Chicago River died green every

• 1:31
  Speaker 2: die into the river for the holiday.

• 1:42
  Speaker 2: back to the like the leprechauns supposedly would pinch you
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: if you didn't wear green. So this is something you
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: want to keep in mind. If you're doing this at
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the office, you could be fired for pinching somebody. You
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: could be accused of inappropriately touching someone. Yes, So just
