• 1:23
  Yeah, it's the sixteenth annual I believe, sixteenth annual, Yeah, fund
• 1:26
  raising golf tournament that raises funds for seven now seven, it was six last
• 1:32
  year. We've added a few. So when I started, I think it
• 1:36
  was four. Then a few founding members passed away, so we added memorial
• 1:42
  scholarships in their names. This year is the Jennifer Hussey Memorial Scholarship. A
• 1:47
  couple of years or when Marty Hardyman passed away, he was a founding member
• 1:51
  and the one who started the golf tournament, so we added the Marty Hardyman
• 1:56
  one and then there's so we have a total of seven. Yeah, so
• 2:00
  a good scholarships. Yeah for local Five of them are for Milford High schools
• 2:08
  and then two of them are for high school students of family members are members
• 2:15
  of the of the Irish Club. Okay, So with this tournament, it's
• 2:22
  going to be used to be at or no, now it's at Orange Shells,
• 2:24
  right, so obviously you're dealing with Jim Hassimi will be their Orange ale
• 2:29
  House is always a representative at a beer giving out the beer. So the
• 2:34
  tournament date is May twentieth, is a Monday, which is always a good
• 2:37
  date for a tournament. A Monday. Yep, everyone's coming off the weekend
• 2:39
  and they get the long weekend out of it. Yeah, because you got
• 2:42
  to take the day off from work. Let's just be honest, that's it.
• 2:45
  It's a scheduled day off. So this year's May twentieth, and what's
• 2:51
  you know, how can people sign up? You still do have a few
• 2:53
  still foursomes available the sorry I should shut that off. Yeah, we still
• 3:00
  have fortums available. If you go on Milford, Irish dot org. There's
• 3:05
  a golf page there are there's the Facebook Irish Heritage Society Facebook page. There's
• 3:12
  also a sub page called the Milford Mix, so that it's all up there
• 3:15
  online. So yeah, we have scholarships. The reason we moved the tournament
• 3:22
  we usually did at or Nook. But the reason one of the reasons was
• 3:24
  they were up in the price on us at orn Oak. Not a terrible
• 3:28
  amount, but we just felt with the way everything's going in the world,
• 3:30
  everything's going up. We didn't want to We wanted to try and keep the
• 3:35
  pricing around the same, but we're actually reducing it. So it was one
• 3:39
  eighty five player last year and the past previous couple of years, we're one
• 3:44
  sixty five now. That includes your golf breakfast and a lunch buffet, and
• 3:50
  then what we're doing actually after the tournament this year is because it's a morning
• 3:54
  tournament, we're teaming up. The Irish Club does monthly happy hour in a
• 4:00
  bar, a local bar around so they just pick a bar and do a
• 4:02
  happy hour there. So what we're doing is we're teaming up with them.
• 4:06
  So after the golf tournament, the Orange Ail House is going to do a
• 4:11
  happy hour for us as well, and there's live music there and some Irish
• 4:15
  dancing, so the club members who aren't golfers and stuff can kind of go
• 4:20
  after it. Yeah. Yeah, so that's at four o'clock at the you
• 4:23
  have Irish club members that aren't golfers. Yeah. I thought that was like
• 4:28
  a part of the application. You have to golf drinking and a bit of
• 4:31
  drinking one, yeah, and two I thought would be golf. Yeah,
• 4:35
  I could do both, okay, Yeah, you know that's why I can't,
• 4:42
  Like I can actually golf better now than I could drink back in the
• 4:46
  Does that make sense? Like I can't drink like I used to, right,
• 4:49
  Yeah, and I golf pretty much the same way. So I feel
• 4:53
  like my golf has gotten better than my drinking ability. Yeah, that's I.
• 4:57
  I actually only started kind of playing golf when I moved here in twenty
• 5:00
  twelve. But I still don't play like I play rarely. So are you
• 5:04
  playing in this tournament? No? I tried that a couple of years ago.
• 5:09
  Actually, I think it was the year you played in it, and
• 5:13
  I thought, of everything was fine. I was out having a few drinks
• 5:15
  playing golf and I was like, this is fine, and then like the
• 5:17
  time I got back to the clubhouse, it was just it's yeah. So
• 5:21
  I was just like, I can't do that again. Yeah. But so
• 5:25
  what you need to tell me is you're not golfing and you're not drinking until
• 5:29
  after everyone gets back drinking. Yeah, yeah, keep the keep the nerves
• 5:32
  settled, I suppose, yeah a little bit, right, But that's I
• 5:36
  Again, what I tell people what golf is. I don't. I don't
• 5:39
  golf. I drink and beat the ground with expensive sticks. Yeah. Yeah,
• 5:43
  that's that's what a lot of us do. Yeah. And then we
• 5:46
  are coming into the golf tournament season. See I love tournaments more, like,
• 5:51
  especially at my age now and my ability, Like I'm fifty now,
• 5:56
  and it's like, you know, I could still poke a drive here and
• 5:58
  there and hit some good shot and have it solid round. But let's I'm
• 6:02
  not entering any tournaments, like real tournaments. You know. That's why I
• 6:06
  love And you know, I always have anxiety. So like if I like
• 6:11
  am just playing around, let's say, with you, right, and we're
• 6:14
  paired up with like two guys, like that makes me anxious, like and
• 6:17
  if they're good, it's like fuck, like and now I'm just thinking,
• 6:21
  like, don't hit the fucking ball into the ground. Don't hit it,
• 6:25
  like, don't fucking kill the starter over there. And but tournament settings,
• 6:30
  you know, especially after the third hole when you had a couple of beers
• 6:32
  already and you're rolling up onto the you know, hassen Meyer's beer tent,
• 6:38
  you know, and he's always got a couple of nips probably back there for
• 6:41
  you as well. Maybe not maybe if you're in the know. And so
• 6:46
  I'm always like, this is so much better setting. You know, there's
• 6:48
  no pressure. You know, you need one good hit per hole, you
• 6:54
  know, or make a putt and then everyone thinks you're god, you know,
• 6:57
  the finisher and just rolled up and I don't push. That's not my
• 7:00
  specialty. I'll get us off the tea. It's pretty much yet, I'll
• 7:03
  try to get us out there. But yeah, but like so now when
• 7:06
  we play golf, like we'll go to Great River a lot and you know,
• 7:11
  it's usually me camp and we'll invite two people, and what we do
• 7:15
  is we play the first nine our own ball, just played the nine holes.
• 7:18
  But then the back nine we'll do like a two man cards scramble just
• 7:23
  to make one. I don't need to go out here and try to see
• 7:25
  what the fuck I'm going to score because it's not going to be anything special
• 7:28
  to write home about. I don't say my score cards. You know.
• 7:30
  It's a good idea. Yeah, so that's what we do now. We
• 7:31
  just we do the front nine just to get loose, and in the back
• 7:34
  nine, we you know, put you know, drinks on the line,
• 7:36
  right, because that happens to me whenever I play, I start up,
• 7:40
  and especially if I'm playing with somebody I don't know, end up getting frustrated
• 7:43
  and then at one point you're just like, I'm just going to pick up
• 7:45
  the ball and yeah, keep up with ye Yeah, I mean in that
• 7:48
  wood so long. Yeah, I'm just I'm going to drop this hole.
• 7:51
  Yeah, yeah, I played. I played with a guy last year in
• 7:54
  Florida. I played with my two friends Tiffany works at this course we played
• 7:59
  at and we got paired up with the fourth guy and he was in my
• 8:03
  cart and he was like a golf pro from Pennsylvania. And so now it's
• 8:09
  like when you play with a pro, you don't you don't want to be
• 8:11
  the guy that. We're all playing from different skill levels off the tee,
• 8:16
  right, so we compromise. I always play from whites. I'm not playing
• 8:20
  from the tips, so I'm like a right, I'll all play from the
• 8:22
  blues, right, which is whatever. It's only you know, twenty yards
• 8:26
  a hole. And this guy was he was he was good like he was.
• 8:31
  He was smoking three hundred yarders all day long, and you know,
• 8:33
  and I'm just like sometimes though, and he plays some something like that,
• 8:39
  like once you get to know somebody and like you know, they see your
• 8:41
  skill level, it's not that big of a deal. And you get pointers
• 8:46
  from him, and I almost feel like you actually play a little better because
• 8:48
  you're maybe concentrating a little more right. And you know, but then the
• 8:54
  guy kind of I don't know, became a douche like on the back nine,
• 8:58
  and that could have been because I was with my friends. Yeah,
• 9:01
  and I was just like, screw this guy. But I don't know,
• 9:03
  but these eyes, you should should have been taken it more serious. Yeah,
• 9:07
  Like you know, like they score for their you know, USGA handicap
• 9:13
  and ship, and they purposely misshots like to keep their handicap higher. So
• 9:18
  when it comes tournament time, you know, it's it's like fudging no,
• 9:20
  okay, right, so I just say, fucking make the putt. I
• 9:26
  don't give a fuck what you write down on your scorecard. Yeah, I'm
• 9:28
  not checking it, you know, get your par and right down the double
• 9:31
  bogie. I don't give a ship. You know, but they literally purposely
• 9:35
  misshots. But I never knew that. Again, I've never gotten so far
• 9:39
  into it that I'm going to have any handicap. You know, I always
• 9:43
  write down, what are twenty twenty four, whatever the highest handicap is,
• 9:46
  throw me down for the right I usual. Yeah, I end up maxing
• 9:50
  out the card. So it's always just whatever the highest number on that hole,
• 9:52
  is. But I have I have friends who are you know, reading
• 9:56
  to golf, A couple of Irish guys. One of my friends in New
• 10:01
  York, he's good friends with somebody who's friends with Shane Lowry. I ended
• 10:05
  up playing a four Instagram. He's funny. Yeah, he played a force
• 10:09
  from with Shane Lowry. He was teamed up so they were playing you know,
• 10:11
  two two on two. Yeah, and he ended up losing and he
• 10:16
  was like No One under of Shane Lowery's fault. It's like, yeah,
• 10:20
  but he you know, he's good, but I don't know is he that
• 10:24
  good? Yeah, well those guys are good. Yeah, those guys are
• 10:28
  I mean, I love going to tournaments and just watching these guys hit the
• 10:31
  ball and he's just yeah, yeah, it's stupid. It is. I
• 10:35
  remember we were in Newport. It was the Women's the Women's United US Open
• 10:41
  for women. This is both got going back twelve thirteen years probably, and
• 10:45
  it was that Newport Country Club, I believe, and we had Gray Goose
• 10:50
  had a tent and we were there on the Wednesday, the practice round,
• 10:52
  right and it was right on eighteen and we just watched the girls hit to
• 10:56
  Atlantic spot and then hit on the green and like, great, there's no
• 11:00
  pressure because it's a practice round. Yeah, but they never missed like it,
• 11:05
  And then they were just sticking the ball in the green. Obviously,
• 11:07
  when the tournament comes, it's more pressure and things change a little bit.
• 11:11
  I'm like, God, damn, these girls are so fucking good. Right.
• 11:13
  We were at Great River once and we had what was the name of
• 11:18
  the school. There was a college that was there had they had a tournament
• 11:20
  there and it was Sacred Heart versus like Tekyo poster some some school, and
• 11:26
  it was four Asian girls playing behind us walking, playing from the blues as
• 11:33
  we were driving, playing from the whites, and they were on our ass
• 11:35
  all day. I felt bad We're driving and there on our right. It
• 11:41
  is one of those things if you're if you're good, you're good. Yeah,
• 11:43
  and if you're bad, you're bad. Yeah. I mean I I
• 11:46
  never I haven't really had that that one round where I was just like,
• 11:50
  yeah, everything fell into place. Yeah. I always get that seven or
• 11:54
  eight on the front or back nine they just throws it off. Mine's always
• 11:56
  that that, you know, the two shots, Yeah, those two to
• 12:00
  make you come back. Yeah, well yeah, yeah, fucking drive on
• 12:03
  fifteen, win it all day for it again. Yeah, and then you
• 12:07
  never you don't do it again. Like I played Great River all the time,
• 12:11
  and it's just there's like three or four holes that I'm just I shouldn't
• 12:13
  even play it, just you know, give myself a triple and just drive
• 12:16
  on to the next hole, because yeah, I'm just not not going to
• 12:20
  perform on it. That's how I am a most holes. Yeah. So
• 12:24
  yeah, that's the golf So, yeah, golf tournament coming up the twentieth.
• 12:31
  It is, it is. Yeah, I was hoping to get on
• 12:33

• 12:39
  yeah, no, you're good. You should have postponed your trip. I
• 12:43
  should have well you know what. Yeah, so I wasn't able to talk
• 12:46
  about my trip last week, right, Well, I wasn't able to,
• 12:50
  but I just figured i'd wait because that long. Yeah, I pour this,
• 12:54
  Yes, whatever one you want to do, we'll go this. You
• 12:56
  want to try this? So you brought this? This is uh uh.
• 13:00
  Obviously we're drinking Viva tequila selters on the show, and how do you like
• 13:03

• 13:07

• 13:11
  can't get this in the States, right, Well, you can get it
• 13:13
  in the States, it's just they said not in Connecticut because of the distribution
• 13:18

• 13:22
  American but it's Akala Island Distillery and that's where they filmed that. What's the

  Bencheese? Did you watch that weird ben cheese of in a Sheer and movie
• 13:35

• 13:41
  It was like an old school Irish movie. It was big. It
• 13:43

• 13:48
  I probably didn't see it. Okay, everybody was. It was a very
• 13:52
  weird movie, but everybody was into it because yeah, but that was filmed
• 13:56
  out there. And we went out for my mother's I was home last year
• 13:58
  for my mother's seven India, and we went out and there was just a
• 14:01
  little distillery. So we drove in. Two brothers running now there. They
• 14:07
  said their dad always wanted to open it up and American No, there are
• 14:15
  there are two Irish guys. Actually, one of them was working in New
• 14:18
  York and finance and moved home because his dad passed away and they wanted to
• 14:22
  keep the distillery going. So yeah, we just stopped in. So it's
• 14:26
  called Irish American Trading Company. So this is just this one. I think
• 14:31
  acle distillery from Island. Let's give it a shot. But it's fucking day
• 14:37
  drinking with dog cheers, slauncha cilantro mm hmm, pretty light. Yeah,
• 14:48
  it's like, yeah, a little little peaty rights that little little I don't
• 14:56
  know if they pete it. I don't know that Scotch Scotchy flavored through a
• 15:01
  little bit. It's nice, it's nice, very nice. Nice. I
• 15:05
  mean we will switch to the red breast. Yeah, you can't be your
• 15:07
  breast steel Johnny go to. But I just said I got a few bottles
• 15:11
  because when we went in, they just like they stopped everything they were doing
• 15:15
  and just showed us around for an hour in the distillery. But sorry,
• 15:18
  I interrupted with my Nusky story. You're your cruise. Oh oh okay,
• 15:22
  So I'll keep this short and sweet. Two things I learned. One of
• 15:26
  them was life changing. So I have had some serious stomach issues for the
• 15:35
  good part of the last six to ten months, like can't figure it out.
• 15:39
  Went to eating bananas, rice grilled chicken. Couldn't kick it, you
• 15:46
  know, the the old girl back home. It's like it's your alcohol,
• 15:48
  you know, it's fucking ulcers out anyway. So actually, this Monday coming
• 15:52
  up, I'm getting an upper Gi nicolon oscar be done because I think I
• 15:58
  gotta have them. See what's going on? Right, So I go on
• 16:00
  my cruise. It's like day two, I'm like, you know what,
• 16:04
  my fucking stomach feels all right, kind of weird, and I'm drinking right,
• 16:08
  So like day four, now we're in Bermuda and I'm like, it's
• 16:12
  to the point where I forgot about it, Like it's just the pain's not
• 16:15
  there. And I'm like, this is fucking weird. So now I start
• 16:19
  eating. You know, I was staying off the gluten. I was staying
• 16:22
  off you know, the dairy. So I fucking make myself a chili cheese
• 16:27
  dog on the buffet and fucking had some ice cream and nothing. So now
• 16:33
  it's the end of the cruise and we're coming back into New York City and
• 16:38
  what the fuck is it? You know, like it's just is it?
• 16:41
  Is it? Is it? Mental? Is it? Like I don't want
• 16:42
  to feel like crap when I'm on vacation kind of thing, you know,
• 16:47
  yeah yeah, And I'm like whatever. So I get home. So we
• 16:51
  get home that couple Sundays ago, and it's now Monday, and I'm sitting
• 16:57
  on my couch and sure shit, my stomach starts hurting, and I'm like,
• 17:03
  all right, so now it's Tuesday. I'm like, now it's right
• 17:07
  back to what it was. And I'm like, all right, what am
• 17:11
  I doing? Right? What was on the cruise or not on the cruise
• 17:14
  that it's at home. And then it fucking dawned on me. Poll In
• 17:21
  spring water bottles. Uh huh. Check this out. So on the ship,
• 17:26
  I had this drink package and it included unlimited bottle waters. Well,
• 17:30
  the bottle waters on the cruise ship were called flow. They were actually in
• 17:33
  a box. It's boxed water. Okay, it's like alkaline. It's what
• 17:37
  I drank the whole outside of drinking alcohol. It's what I drink besides the
• 17:41
  Starbucks every morning, is what I drank. I've been buying Polling spring water
• 17:48
  forever, three cases for eleven dollars at Stop and shop, and I'll drink
• 17:52
  eight to ten a day. So I go on the computer, start googling
• 17:56
  the shit, like what are the worst bottle waters to buy? It was
• 18:00
  literally number one worst bottle was Nestley fucking fair Life, whatever you want to
• 18:06
  call it, and then number two was poll In Spring And they basically say,
• 18:10
  these bottle waters are just tap water, and it's how they filter them.
• 18:14
  There's no poland spring, there's no spring water. And in that plastic
• 18:21
  because they make them so thin. Now, like you know, you like
• 18:23
  crunch the bottle, almost a lot of that plastic ends up going into the
• 18:29
  water. Now I'm not a scientist, but I am convinced this is what
• 18:34
  was bothering me. So I've switched to literally just drinking tapwater or the filtered
• 18:41
  water like the Brita at home, right. And then I researched what the
• 18:45
  good waters are and there's basically like a top three and it's Fiji Avion and
• 18:49
  I think the third one was vas right, and those are the three best
• 18:52
  ones, the purest waters. But I think I'm just gonna buy what I
• 18:57
  was drinking on the cruise ship, you know, from Amazon. It's expensive,
• 19:02
  but don't fuck I care more about how I feel then, and it's
• 19:06
  it's the fucking craziest thing. Yeah, it's it's I can't explain, like
• 19:11
  night and day. Right, yeah, and it's water. Yeah, you're
• 19:15
  eighty eighty percent water, yeah like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 19:18
  but there's stuff I get. I have what's it called trace mineral. So
• 19:22
  it's for if you filter your water that it adds minerals back into it.
• 19:26
  Oh real, Yeah, you just put a few drops into Like I have
• 19:29
  a big water bottle and you just had a few drops back into it,
• 19:32
  and it's adding the minerals that are taken out. Yeah. I can't remember
• 19:36
  what they are, but you can get that on Amazon. It's like thirty
• 19:38
  bucks or something. But yeah, you get a it's adding the goodness back
• 19:42
  in because what all they do is filter it or reverse osmosis. It take
• 19:48
  it takes everything out of it, right, and then it's just water,
• 19:51
  but there's no nutritional value to it. But then what you're saying, yeah,
• 19:53
  with all the plastic and stuff, right and then and then actually this
• 19:56
  is a courtesy of my girlfriend. She said, uh, she's read that.
• 20:02
  You know, you leave your plastic, you leave your water bottle in
• 20:03
  your car, and if it sits in that sun at all, that actually
• 20:07
  yeah, let's get some of the plastic. Get get your water when you
• 20:10
  drink it. Yeah, that's an yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 20:14
  I've never really, I just I drink so much water, Like literally,
• 20:18
  I will go through two cases of Poland Spring a week. And he's we
• 20:22
  got bankrupt with the new tencent No, no, I'll tell you stop and
• 20:26
  shop. It has a good deal, you know, if you get your
• 20:29
  car and it's it's three twenty four packs for like ten eighty eight, right,
• 20:32
  yeah, I mean just by three. Yeah, leave him in my
• 20:34
  car until I need him in the house. And I'm convinced that is what
• 20:40
  was bothering me, because day two on the cruise without any Poland Spring in
• 20:44
  me, and I felt fine. And then in like day two of being
• 20:48
  home, it's right back to what was going on. And since you've taken
• 20:52
  it out, how have you been, That's what I'm saying. I've been

• 22:10
  kids, what if we have a three year old and a six month old,
• 22:12

• 22:25
  One of my uncles at home actually has he has a daughter, and then
• 22:29
  they had triplets, three boys. So yeah, I don't know how.
• 22:33
  I don't know how. They're eighteen, they're nineteen now. Yeah, yeah,
• 22:37
  I'm godfather to one of them. But yeah, I don't I treat
• 22:42
  like trying to handle one with a three year old, but I trying to
• 22:45
  handle three babies at once. I don't know how anybody can do that,
• 22:48
  even twins. Yeah, I just give one away, figure out, give
• 22:53
  figure which especially if they're identical. Yeah, yeah, that's good for them.
• 22:59
  All right, quick story sorry number two. Well it's kind of a
• 23:03
  double story. So I took Norwegian Cruise Lines. I've taken them before,
• 23:07
  but I've never taken them. I haven't. I haven't gone on a cruise
• 23:11
  in a long time. And now it's like, you know, you get
• 23:14
  the all inclusive, you get the fucking drink package. So I recommend if
• 23:18
  anyone takes Norwegian, I took the joy out of New York to Bermuda.
• 23:22
  I'm back. Get the extra. So the drink package is included, which
• 23:26
  is basically you can get any drink that's under twelve dollars, right, if
• 23:30
  you are a whiskey drinker like you and myself, get the upgraded package.
• 23:36
  First night, I'm at some it's like a country bar on the boat,
• 23:41
  and the lady hands me a drink menu, and there's some pretty legit bourbons
• 23:47
  on this list, like plants, and there was a what they had they
• 23:52
  had They had red breast, and they're all listed at thirty forty fifty bucks.
• 23:57
  They had uh Hennessy XO for sixty. So I just look at the
• 24:04
  bartender and I'm like, what can I get, you know, And I
• 24:07
  show her my purple card. She's like, whatever you want. I'm like,
• 24:11
  holy shit. So now I'm drinking. Now I'm drinking forty fifty.
• 24:15
  And it was three hundred and fifty dollars for the upgrade, right, and
• 24:18
  then so the upgrade included all this good stuff, the unlimited flow bottle waters
• 24:25
  and unlimited Starbucks for the whole time for seven days. You know, Yeah,
• 24:29
  that's all I mean. I definitely got my money back. Not that
• 24:32
  a red breast is you know, thirty five dollars if you go to a
• 24:33
  you know, just bar. But still you're on a ship. Yeah,
• 24:37
  you're on a ship. It's going to be upgraded. Yeah. So we
• 24:41
  get to Bermuda and we do it. We do this little sunset cruise excursion
• 24:45
  thing on a catamaran and there's like fifty of us on this catamaran. Real
• 24:49
  long story short this night is we come back in the shore by the boat
• 24:55
  and I start talking to the captain and he ends up being the owner of
• 24:56
  the boat. And I had actual, she just bought this watch a little
• 25:02
  tag on that boat. So he notices it and he's like, oh,
• 25:04
  and he's wearing a brightling. So I have this other story about a brightling
• 25:08
  that I found at an airport and returned it to a bartender and JFK and
• 25:17
  I said, I know it's a pilot's he left. I found it in
• 25:18
  the bathroom. So I so he's like, you fucking return to brightling.
• 25:22
  I'm like, it's just karma. Karma. Guy and lady said, well,
• 25:27
  they have thirty days to claim it. If not, we'll mail it
• 25:29
  to you and it's a whole nother story. And thirty days later, probably
• 25:33
  more like forty five days later, it comes in the mail. So we're
• 25:37
  just shooting the shit and I'm like, listen, I can't drink these rum
• 25:40
  fucking swizzles anymore. Do you have anything else on this boat? And he
• 25:42
  had the whole bar set up. He's like, yeah, but you got
• 25:45
  to pay for the shit. I'm like, I don't give a fuck like
• 25:48
  so he goes, well, what are you guys doing? So he goes,
• 25:51
  I go, we we're gonna go over to the Frog and Onion.
• 25:52
  It's a bar in Bermuda and watch them sports because the fucking there's no TV
• 25:56
  on a bruise. There is, but it's all like fucking MSNBC, and
• 25:59
  that's going to fucking blow my head off with that shit. So we go
• 26:03
  to the bar. He meets us with his couple of deckhands and now we're
• 26:07
  bombed. We're doing shots of casts and me. He goes, and what
• 26:11
  do I care? I just got to walk to my floating hotel over here.
• 26:14
  And he's like, what are you guys doing tomorrow? We're like,
• 26:15
  Wow, we're gonna go to this little beach over here. Because I have
• 26:18
  beach sucks. It's like fucking sand they put over a landfill. He goes,
• 26:22
  I got a two o'clock going out for a snorkel, if you guys
• 26:23
  want to come, And I'm like, well, I didn't book it.
• 26:29
  He's like, you know, like I'm the captain, you know, and
• 26:32
  I'm the captain. Now he's like, no, just show up at two
• 26:33
  o'clock or one fifty. So we get there the next day and he's like,
• 26:38
  mister Wells, come on the boat. We get on here. So
• 26:41
  we get on the boat. I gave him a hundred bucks. I think
• 26:45
  the excursion was like one hundred and fifty a person. Just give him a
• 26:48
  hundred. So now there's only like fourteen people. It's pretty cool, he
• 26:52
  goes. So he gets like, we all get on the boat, and
• 26:53
  he's like, listen, you never see a daylight. You maybe see a
• 26:57
  day like this reviewed to four times a year. It was like fucking glass.
• 27:00
  There was no wind. He goes, we can do the little thing
• 27:03
  that they told you on their little excursion sheet and go into the bay and
• 27:07
  go see whatever. Or I can fucking take you out off shore by where
• 27:12
  the fucking the reefs are right and we can snorkel that. So we're not
• 27:17
  like, let's do it. So he takes us all the way out,
• 27:18
  almost away, you can't see the island anymore, and we anchored down and
• 27:22
  we just fucking snorkeled like these reefs and it was fucking amazing. Right,
• 27:27
  So we get I'm only out there for about twenty five minutes. The water
• 27:30
  was a little cold because this time of the years not that warm. Get
• 27:33
  back on the boat. I just let's go. So now we're me and
• 27:37
  this guy are ripping fucking cosamigo shots on the boat. My girlfriend Cole looks
• 27:41
  at me, She's like, how the fuck do you like, how do
• 27:44
  you do this? Like how do you like? Like fucking I'm like,
• 27:48
  what do you mean? She's like, how do you like meet these people?
• 27:49
  And they fucking invite you back on board. I'm like, just be
• 27:52
  nice, yeah, just be nice and talk to people. And she's like
• 27:56
  okay. So we get back in the shore. He's like, he's like
• 28:00
  stay on the boat. Like he's like the night before he had everyone get
• 28:03
  off. We stayed on and we went all the way around the ship to
• 28:06
  where his slip was. Same thing tonight. So now we get around.
• 28:08
  Now we're just drinking. They're washing the boat down. I said, we're
• 28:11
  going now, it's the first night of the NFL Draft. I'm like,
• 28:15
  we're going back to the bar. I want to watch the Patriots draft at
• 28:17
  third He's like, dude, I gotta be good tonight. I gotta go
• 28:21
  home. I go why what what? He goes, Dude, I got
• 28:22
  home last night. My wife was like, have a good day today,
• 28:27
  and he was all fucked up. And he's like, I met this couple
• 28:32
  from my Oh that was so nice. They're coming on the boat tomorrow.
• 28:36
  He goes, I gotta be good. I said, you've already ripped like
• 28:37
  fucking ten shots with me. Bro. He's like, no, I gotta
• 28:41
  go. So then my girlfriend's all bombed up. I walked her back to
• 28:45
  the boat. I went back out. I went to the frogging aunty and
• 28:49
  by myself. But there was a lot of I think the Rangers might have
• 28:52
  been playing that night, so there's a lot of New York fans because they
• 28:55
  went out of New York right we're coming back, apparently, I'm walking back
• 28:57
  to the boat. I don't know if the guy that sold me the watch
• 29:00
  sees me. The next day, he goes, saw you walking back to
• 29:02
  the boat around midnight last night. You were pretty fucked up. I'm like,
• 29:04
  you didn't fucking say hi, bro. Yeah yeah. So moral of
• 29:11
  the story is, when you're on a cruise, actually, if you take
• 29:14
  the one, if you take the joy within the next I want to say,
• 29:18
  five months, shoot me a text or an email or something, and
• 29:22
  I'll tell you all the people, because all these guys are contracted on this
• 29:26
  you know thing, they're on the boat till fucking whenever. And he didn't
• 29:30
  put the upside down pineapple, So I do That's where kind of where I
• 29:36
  thought this was going. I'm so happy you said that. So our buddy
• 29:41
  John's driving us to the boat and he says this upside down pineapple thing and
• 29:47
  I'm like, I didn't know. I've never heard of it. And we're
• 29:49
  like what the fuck is that. He's like, oh, it's like if
• 29:52
  you're a swingers, you put fucking upside down pineapple things on your door.
• 29:56
  And I'm like, get the fuck out of here, and like no,
• 30:00
  I swear. So we're kind of lost the first night and we walked by
• 30:04
  this, you know, we're walking down this hallway and there's a door with
• 30:08
  like happy birthday and pineapples all over it. So my drunk ass Grover was
• 30:11
  like, there's pineapples and she was like, oh my god, I'm like,
• 30:15
  they're not upside down the fucking it's a happy birthday for a sixteen year
• 30:18
  old. Yeah, that's the thing. Huh yeah, yeah, I actually
• 30:22
  sold. You can find that out the hard way. Uh no, No,
• 30:27
  I have my upside on Putnam. I'm joking. I don't know where.
• 30:32
  You know, just all this crying. If you're listening, text me
• 30:34
  right now, what's really going on? You just find out everything now on
• 30:37
  TikTok. But no, I heard about it. And last year I sold
• 30:41
  a house and they were like, uh, hot tub is not included,
• 30:45
  but it's negotiable. And my guys actually were thinking buyers. They were thinking
• 30:51
  about they were thinking about getting a hot tub. So it was like,
• 30:56
  oh, this this works out. And usually, you know, if people
• 30:57
  are losing leaving a hot tub, like you know, two grand or anything
• 31:02
  like that, you know, some people might just leave it, but some
• 31:07
  people might try to send some avalor for you don't even know what's in it.
• 31:11
  These guys came back and they were like, no, they want nine
• 31:14
  grand for it. They're like, they bought it three years. It was
• 31:15
  it nice, No, it was just it seemed like the regular run of
• 31:18
  the middle, you know, square hot tub. But then one day I
• 31:23
  think I was there for the appraisal or something, and I pulled into the
• 31:27
  and their car was still in the driveway and they had an upside on pineapple
• 31:32
  on the as a bumper sticker on the back window, and I was like,
• 31:34
  Okay, you definitely don't want this hot tub. So God only knows
• 31:38
  what they were doing it, but again they wanted nine grand for it for
• 31:42
  what they Yeah, usually it's like, you know, you see them on
• 31:45
  Facebook the whole time, two grand or come take it for free, right,
• 31:48
  these guys wanted for the well used. I was on a cruise years
• 31:55
  ago and my mother had these had a thread. They were gay couple,
• 32:00
  awesome guys and they were on the cruise with us and whatever. One day
• 32:06
  we're just sitting there and one of the guys, Andrew's like, hey,
• 32:08
  uh, we're gonna go down to the bar for happy hour if you want
• 32:13
  to come with us. And fuck else is there to do on a creve
• 32:15
  but go to the bar at happy hour because we're on the ocean, so
• 32:17
  I said sure. So we get to this bar and just looking around and
• 32:22
  everybody's fucking gay, like everybody, and I'm like, what are we at.
• 32:28
  He's like, Oh, it's called Friends of Dorothy and I'm like,
• 32:30
  friends of Dorothy? What the fuck is that? He's like, it's the
• 32:32
  fucking bat signal for gay people to meet up at a bar, like Friends
• 32:37
  of Bill is for uh aa people like people. I don't drink anymore.
• 32:42
  And I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. He's like, God,
• 32:45
  just enjoy. And then these two kids from like Vancouver came up started buying
• 32:49
  me drinks. I'm like, oh, all right, I'll take some drinks.
• 32:51
  No pineapples though, from me upside down, that's for sure. But
• 32:54
  I can't believe you mentioned that though, because that was like literally like yeah,
• 32:59
  talking on the way and so, yeah, we were just in Cancun
• 33:00
  and the same thing, you know. I guess it's the thing now,
• 33:02
  like if you're at a hotel or a resort or and you just stick an
• 33:06
  upside down pineapple on your door. But I don't think I think Ryan said
• 33:09
  she saw one. I didn't see any well, Ryan was looking Yeah,
• 33:14
  yeah, and she's shorter than you. You're very tall. You probably walked
• 33:17
  right by. Actually another story about the drinks, because we did all inclusive
• 33:22
  as well, and it was a bureau Star and we'd stayed with them a
• 33:25
  couple of years ago in Jamaica, and in Jamaica you just got your your
• 33:30
  drink package and that was it. There was no like upgrade if yes,
• 33:34
  if you wanted the the top shelf stuff you had to pay for, and
• 33:37
  we just assumed it was the same that's from your wife. Certainly, wasn't
• 33:45
  you, Ryan, So I don't know, maybe it was. We assumed
• 33:50
  it was the same thing. We were just in Cancun, so we were
• 33:52
  the first day we were drinking like getting shots at tequila that somehow tasted like
• 33:55
  soap or just like, oh, it's just cheap all inclusive stuff. So
• 34:00
  we were drinking that the whole first day, and then the next day Ryan
• 34:02
  was just like fuck this, I'm not drinking this stuff anymore. As she
• 34:05
  goes how much is the eighteen hundred, they're like, oh, it's included.
• 34:07
  Yeah. Yeah. I just assumed we only got the all inclusive stuff
• 34:14
  and hadn't gotten upgrade. But yeah, they were just like so then after
• 34:16
  that you just had to specify what liquor you wanted, right, so of
• 34:20
  course when you go in order, they just use the well or any bar.
• 34:23
  Yeah, you know, great, the prices increases you go up the
• 34:27
  ladder, but if it's all inclusive, yeah, you gotta ask. Yeah.
• 34:30
  So yeah, then we got we got the uh, we got the
• 34:32
  good stuff after that. Yeah, have you ever been on a cruise?
• 34:37
  No, she refuses, She's like that sounds like hell to me. So
• 34:42
  so, I don't know if you guys saw my instagram of what was on
• 34:46
  facebook too. I saw it was like day three and we hit We had
• 34:50
  it like there was no going around this storm, right, I went right
• 34:52
  through it and I did like a little Seinfeld reference. Yeah, but it
• 34:55
  was bad, like you know, it's bad on a boat when they put
• 34:58
  the barf bags out on the stairs. I'm fine with it. It doesn't
• 35:01
  bother me at all. You know, you're drinking, so you're just sometimes
• 35:06
  if you time it right, you sway with it, you know, so
• 35:07
  you're actually walking straight. Uh. Nicole was a little a little off,
• 35:14
  but I don't mind it. Yeah, no, she it was it was
• 35:17
  it was. I went I went out to the so we had about Actually
• 35:22
  we had a pretty big balcony, so that's what I know what was going
• 35:24
  on. Yeah, I went out to the balcony and uh, I just
• 35:27
  wanted to have my little Henny x O at the end of the night sit
• 35:30
  out there. I love the sound. I just love it. I love
• 35:32
  the ocean. I love the sound of it. I opened the fucking slider
• 35:36
  and it's just it's pouring out the fucking It's like right in my face,
• 35:39
  that assumption of the wind. I'm like, yeah. But we had like
• 35:45
  right down the hall from us was a was a brou pub. So I
• 35:47
  was just like there every night, you know, put her to bed,
• 35:51
  and I wouldn't mind doing one. You know this, like you're just it's
• 35:53
  just a big floating hotel where you can go to bed and you're in the
• 35:55
  place. But she swears she'd never do one. Man. I recommend it,
• 36:00
  like a Bermuda one only because do it a little like do it like
• 36:01
  now, not like two weeks ago, or do it like two weeks from
• 36:05
  now, when it's a little warmer. The water is warmer, Leaving New
• 36:07
  York is warmer, because it was cool. It's cool, like you go
• 36:09
  buy the Statue of Liberty, you go under the Verizonta bridge and it looks
• 36:13
  like the boat's gonna hit it kind of an optical illusion thing, and it's
• 36:16
  neat, just you know, cruising out of Manhattan. Yeah, but what
• 36:21
  I love about the cruise is like you just literally stop at Muna for two
• 36:24
  days. Like you go to like the Caribbean, your island hop and every
• 36:27
  day you got to get up at eight in the morning. You can't.
• 36:29
  I mean, that's one thing I don't. Yeah, I just dude,
• 36:31
  I when I'm on vacation, I'm on my time, right, Like,
• 36:35
  I don't want to be on someone, you know, and I give the
• 36:37
  fucking steward, you know, twenty bucks right off the rip. I'm like,
• 36:39
  oh, you might have to make up my room tomorrow too, you
• 36:43
  know, like like seriously, Like I'm just if I want to sleep all
• 36:45
  day, I'm gonna sleep all day. Yeah. You know, there's there's
• 36:47
  really nothing to do but drink and eat while you're at sea. Yeah,
• 36:51
  you know, we get to the Bermuda, you want to explore and do
• 36:52
  all that stuff. But like, you know, I've been on cruises where
• 36:55
  you get off in Saint Thomas one day at eight am. You gotta be
• 36:58
  backed by six your excursion. Your excursions like four or five hours, so
• 37:01
  you really have no time to do anything right other than the excursion. That's
• 37:06
  how I am with everybody's always saying, oh, do you know I'm going
• 37:08
  to Ireland, And I'm like, okay, what are you doing? They're
• 37:10
  like, I'm getting a bus. We're getting a bus tour around and fair
• 37:14
  enough. You know, some people like that. It's just not for me
• 37:15
  to be on somebody else's schedule, Like you tell me when I have lunch,
• 37:20
  you tell me when I get up, you tell me where I'm going,
• 37:22
  Like I'm not about yeah, So I like to do my own thing
• 37:25
  when I want to do my own thing right. So, speaking of Ireland,
• 37:29
  a lot of people have been texting me, is this guy German on
• 37:31
  your show? No, you're from Are you from Galway? I'm from Golf
• 37:36
  Go away. Sorry that was my fault. I talked that up. So
• 37:40
  I've actually known your wife a little longer than I've known you, But I'm
• 37:45
  still honored to this day that I was invited to your wedding. Yeah,
• 37:47
  I'm glad you made it. Yeah, no, I'm so glad. I
• 37:51
  went, not just to see the nuptials, but to see the Motherlands,
• 37:54
  right, Ireland itself. And I actually went back again a few years later
• 38:00
  because I loved it so much, and I plan on, you know,
• 38:02
  with COVID. I really kind of just been doing the States tour, you
• 38:06
  know, just stay stay in the States. But now I think I'm ready
• 38:09
  to go back overseas and I want to do like a London Scotland Ireland trip,
• 38:14
  right, like all in one, like maybe a ten fourteen day yeah,
• 38:16
  yeah, and bang out a lot. And I think I've done Galway
• 38:20
  twice. I've done Dublin twice. I might want it. I don't know
• 38:22
  Belfastest though, we've done Belfast. Yeah, I was think in Northern Ireland,
• 38:25
  Belfast like the second time I went. We did, uh So.
• 38:30
  The first time I went was we flew in to Dublin and then we met
• 38:34
  you guys. What was the name of the Salt Hill Hotel? Salt Hill
• 38:37
  Hotel, which was gorgeous. Yeah, that's where I'm from, Salt Village,
• 38:42
  just and it's almost like a college town Gallway, right it is.
• 38:45
  Yeah, there's beaches, there's there's two big universities in the city, one
• 38:51
  of them on just on the outskirts and then one right in the middle of
• 38:53
  the city center essentially, so it is a big it's a big university town.
• 38:58
  Yeah, so that's you know, if you go out, there's never
• 39:00
  really a bad night to go out and go well, yeah, there was
• 39:06
  a lot of nightclubs, and then since COVID they've all shut down, but
• 39:08
  I saw two were opening. There was like probably fifteen nightclubs in Galway City
• 39:13
  and you know how big that is. It's called the city, right,
• 39:16
  it's a big town. But there were they all just shut down during COVID.
• 39:21
  But and so now all the students go to all the bars where they
• 39:23
  used to go to the clubs, but a couple of the clubs. What
• 39:27
  was the bar we were at before you got married? I remember the bar
• 39:31
  the day after you got married. The keys? Was it? The keys?
• 39:37
  It was like it was like it was live music. There was kind
• 39:38
  of an upstairs, right, yeah, yeah, the keys. So that's
• 39:40
  the that's the bar, right, and I met in that's right. But
• 39:45
  I worked, Yeah, I worked there. Well, we both worked there.
• 39:46
  She did tickets for the nightclub. So what I don't think we saw
• 39:51
  it. Did we go up to the nightclub part of that? I don't
• 39:52
  think so. Now. So yeah, there's two the bars, two floors,
• 39:57
  and then it's it's and all got the church that they broke down and
• 40:01
  put all the the wooden arches and stuff all in the bar. But then
• 40:07
  you go upstairs and there's another two floors that are live music nightclub and they
• 40:13
  have the back of the stage is a big organ. It's it's cool looking.
• 40:16
  Yeah, but yeah, that's where that's where we met. And yeah
• 40:21
  that was was that the night before, a couple of nights before. I
• 40:23
  know it was all a big mash to us. Yes, so I think
• 40:28
  I got there the night before. Okay, I was there three nights or
• 40:31
  yeah, night before, then your wedding, and then the day after your
• 40:37
  wedding went at an other bar where you had reserved, right and yeah,
• 40:42
  yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that's where Ed Sheeran shot is Galloway Girl
• 40:45
  part of his Gallaway Girl video in that bar. Oh yeah, we didn't
• 40:47
  see it in it's in it's because we went during the day. That place
• 40:52
  is cool during the night because they light up, you know, they have
• 40:54
  a real fire going in there. It's all the stuff hanging from the ceiling
• 40:58
  where we were all kind of outside. But that's one. It's probably my
• 41:00
  favorite bar. One of the problems with like going to Ireland is that it
• 41:04
  becomes a blur because you just think so much. But then I figure,
• 41:07
  well, I go everywhere I go, I fucking yeah, I'm on vacation.
• 41:08
  I'm drinking a lot regardless. But like what I I feel like it
• 41:14
  was. I don't know if it's like the euro or because you're drinking domestic
• 41:20
  over there, you know, Like I just didn't think it was expensive.
• 41:22
  Yeah, Like they had like Red Breast eighteen for like fifteen euro and I'm
• 41:27
  like, I take ten of those, like let's go. You know,
• 41:30
  I don't know because it's it's I always say it's similar wish to hear.
• 41:34
  You know you're not getting now you're not going to pin the Guinness for in
• 41:37
  like six year old. Yeah. Well, I feel like Dublin was a
• 41:39
  little more because Dublin was a little more city centric, you know, go
• 41:43
  away. I think it was a little cheaper. But then when I went
• 41:45
  the second time, we did this all right, First of all, I
• 41:49
  can't drive on the other side of the street. So I've never rented a
• 41:51
  car there. The first year I went, I was dating Megan, and
• 41:59
  her father in law or stepfather excuse me, drove us from the airport to
• 42:04
  her mother's house and I thought I was gonna die. Did she drive me
• 42:08
  to go away? She did? I remember she drove me Todd and Aubrey.
• 42:14
  Fuck didn't call away, and I'm like, I can't. She like
• 42:17
  wanted me. I can't do it. I'm gonna get us killed. So
• 42:21
  anyway, so whatever. So the second time I went, we actually took
• 42:24
  the train we flew in that morning to Dublin or the overnight, and then
• 42:30
  we took the train from Dublin to Galway and then we did buses to kill
• 42:35
  Carneye to Cork. There was another one in there forget. We played golf
• 42:39
  at Foda Island where there was a zoo, so the girls went to the
• 42:45
  zoo and me and cam't play golf, and then we went back to Dublin
• 42:49
  for two nights. Actually met some friends from the States over there, and
• 42:53
  the second time I went. The first time I went, I was I
• 42:58
  just I was not impressed with the food, right. I don't know if
• 43:00
  it went to the wrong places. You must have, because the second time
• 43:02
  I went, I'm like, holy shit, how did I miss this the
• 43:06
  first time? The food's really really, really good over and it's all like
• 43:09
  fresh, that's it. I learned the thing recently about why the Irish food
• 43:15
  was always considered kind of bland. That's because we had such abundance of fresh
• 43:22
  food outside of the family worlds. Potatoes, yeah, but you know,
• 43:25
  they pluck them out of the ground and cook them and they're you know,
• 43:29
  nice and fresh. Where we didn't have to preserve stuff because you know,
• 43:31
  the weather never gets too hot, never gets too cold, so you didn't
• 43:35
  have to worry about your food rotting that much. So that's why a lot
• 43:38
  of the other places, hot countries all had to deal with salting and stuff
• 43:42
  to preserve their food. That's why Ireland was just like, I'm not pick
• 43:45
  it out of the ground, throat and boil it. But now, yeah,
• 43:49
  yeah, we figured out that, Yeah, there's all this great food
• 43:52
  that we can cook properly now and it's fantastic. I just still can't get
• 43:55
  on board with breakfast there though. I can't. Blood sauce, oh,
• 44:00
  it's so good, it's called pudding. I know, I was like,
• 44:05
  oh, we put in for breakfast. Ye no, yah, I know
• 44:07
  it, but I guess I was just trying to find a bagel of cream
• 44:12
  cheese wherever I could. You know. That's the good thing is if you
• 44:15
  look for something, you'll you'll find it over there. Yeah. Yeah,
• 44:17
  because I heard of an America such like we're always just trying to play ketch
• 44:21
  up over here, we went, what's the town If Camp was sitting here,
• 44:24
  you'd know. So we took a little train ride out of Dublin north
• 44:30
  to a little port city town. It wasn't far, maybe a very maybe
• 44:34
  a fifteen minute train ride, and it had a little like you know,
• 44:37
  a little port district. And then they had like a little not a boardwalk,
• 44:40
  but they had a little area where, you know, there's probably five
• 44:45
  or six restaurants. And we went to a you know, a little restaurant
• 44:47
  there. We were just exploring. Again, I I don't have the memory
• 44:51
  for this. Camp's really good with shit like this, but we that's where
• 44:54
  I had the best like fish and chips and fried shrimp and yeah, and
• 44:58
  it was it was awesome, awesome. I mean because like a lot of
• 45:00
  the places we went to the second time were I wouldn't want to say americanized
• 45:06
  restaurants, but they were higher end restaurants, that sort of ship that I
• 45:09
  knew what it was, you know, and it was all you know,
• 45:15
  five star hop notch. That's the seafood over there is you know top.
• 45:20
  Yeah. Unfortunately, I don't eat any fish. I don't either. Yeah.
• 45:22
  I mean I'll eat you know, fried or you know, I ate
• 45:27
  you know, I'll eat shrimp and stuff, but I don't like like fish
• 45:29
  fish. Yeah, I mean they want to fill me up a fish or
• 45:31
  salmon. I don't eat any ship. That's what I do. I'll lead
• 45:34
  some you know, fried cod, yeah, catch up? Yeah yeah?
• 45:40
  Or curry did you try the curry so curry so so? Megan used to
• 45:45
  say curry all the time to me, and I just thought it was Indian
• 45:47
  food. It's not, No, it's yeah, it's it's like an Irish
• 45:51
  and English version of it's a curry sauce, you know, same kind of
• 45:54
  bass. But for some reason we that's dunt with uh like fried food,
• 46:00
  curry fries, curry chips. We called them chips fries. There was a
• 46:04
  little place in Galway we went to like it was a walk up stand and
• 46:07
  we got fries chips, chips and fishing chips, you know, like super
• 46:13
  maxes. Yeah, it was like across the street from that or not like
• 46:16
  directly. Bro it's in that little right when you start walking in. Because
• 46:21
  when we stayed the second time we stayed at Jury's in, Oh my god,
• 46:25
  we sit in this fucking room. It was right outside the waterway right
• 46:32
  and you just opened the window and it was just they must it was they
• 46:36
  must have had like three storms before we got there, because the water was
• 46:38
  so high almost to the footbridge and it was just running. And I slept
• 46:43
  so good. Yeah, it's every morning. That is. That's the That's
• 46:45
  the fastest flowing river through any city in Europe, that that little river.
• 46:51
  How do you know that is that you learned? I'm one of those people
• 46:55
  that just has a hedge full of random nonsense. One the fastest flowing Well,
• 47:00
  we're drinking whiskey now, yeah, just switch to some red breast once
• 47:05
  you just grabbed that. We don't want to mix. There's two glasses right
• 47:07
  up there. Yeah, we won't mix this stuff. Well, like I
• 47:15
  said, we always get off track. So since you know, I've had
• 47:20
  McCabe and Flynn on. Yeah. Now you talk a little bit about the
• 47:23
  Irish Club and how to become a member and hours of op and what you
• 47:27
  got outside of the fundraising you guys do. You guys do a lot of
• 47:30
  good and as you're down in the Devon area and you got your own club.
• 47:34
  Actually a funny story. You were the first one to bring me down
• 47:36
  there. I was. Yeah, it was when you were seeing Megan again.
• 47:40
  Yeah, and we were in Stonebridge. I don't know, I don't
• 47:43
  know where you're getting off early or something. We were like, oh,
• 47:45
  we're going down the Irish Club. I was like, I didn't even know
• 47:46
  there was an Irish Club in Milford. Yeah. Yeah, So you're like,
• 47:49
  yeah, we're going down and I think somebody had to sign us in.
• 47:52
  Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's when I believe Jane was.
• 47:58
  Was it Jane was the signing us in. I couldn't tell you, but
• 48:02
  we went down there, and you know Bernie Martin right, who might be
• 48:07
  a member there now or maybe not anymore. I couldn't tell you. No,
• 48:12
  I don't, to be honest, I don't get down there. Like
• 48:14
  when we first joined, we used to go down for trivia to do trivia
• 48:16
  on a Thursday and stuff. We used to go down for that all the
• 48:19
  time. Your life to me, Yeah, you've been at all my major
• 48:24
  life events. It's crazy, right, except the birth of your children.
• 48:29
  But other than that, you were there with the conception okay, yeah,
• 48:37
  no, and your and your team won the rugby championship. Yeah that was
• 48:42
  there, right yeah. Connacht rugby conduct Connacht. Connacht is the province of
• 48:45
  Galaway, Mayo, Russcommon Lee Tram that's it our conduct, all the all
• 48:54
  the thirty two counties have broken to Ulster Conduct, Leinster and Munster if you
• 49:00
  heard of those. But yeah, I know the Irish club. Like I
• 49:06
  said, you got me down. I didn't even know it was there.
• 49:07
  And then I fit in just fine with my accent and you didn't need to
• 49:14
  show your heritage line. Right, Yeah, you're good, you're in.
• 49:17
  But I had actually I had applied for the Fairfield one. Now that one's
• 49:22
  huge, right. I applied for it, and because I was in the
• 49:25
  country more than six months, I went on a waiting list and then I
• 49:29
  talked to a few people who were like, no, you should get straight
• 49:31
  in, and then they eventually emailed me saying, actually, you're in,
• 49:36
  just send us your registrate. And it was a few hundred and I think
• 49:37
  it was just before Christmas and I was just like eh, and then I
• 49:40
  found out about the Milford one. So it's just like rather, you know,
• 49:45
  I can't remember what it is, but I think a family membership at
• 49:47
  the Milford one is seventy bucks, you know. And then it's not like
• 49:51
  an OUs club where like you can just get in nationally anywhere, right,
• 49:53
  you have to be localized. Yeah, well this is the Irish Heritage Society
• 49:58
  of Milford. You know, people say Irish Club as a kind of broad
• 50:00
  right. They're not affiliated with each other whatsoever. It's just Irish people are
• 50:06
  of Irish heritage. So yeah, I think it's seventy bucks. And there's
• 50:12
  a bar and they do like the the Saint Patrick's Day Parade and stuff is
• 50:16
  a separate entity, but you know it's mostly the club members and stuff like
• 50:22
  that and that, and the the Irish Festival is from the club. So
• 50:27
  there's a slaunch it then is this is the golf shirt, but slaunches the
• 50:36
  charitable side. So it's a five o' one C three of the Irish Club
• 50:39
  and we do a lot of fundraising then for those seven scholarships, and then
• 50:44
  we also support Irish heritage and culture stuff, so we donate to the Saint
• 50:50
  Patrick's Day Parade. Then there's a lot of stuff on journ in the club.
• 50:53
  You know, they do movie nights where they show Irish movies and stuff
• 50:55
  like that and you don't have to be you know, once Removed. Is
• 51:00
  there a good Irish movie? Yeah? What's it called? Let me think
• 51:07
  Calm Farrell in it. Yeah, he's all that's how he got famous.
• 51:13
  Wait, what was what was the one ship the Boondock Saints that was Irish?
• 51:17
  Those are Irish guys, right, No, No, but they Scottish.
• 51:21
  No, they were supposed to be Irish but they learned No, but
• 51:23
  it was it was in Irish. Yeah, I think they were Irish.
• 51:25
  Anyway, it's been a while since I've seen that. I would imagine so
• 51:29
  Irish because they were Boston, weren't they. Yeah, I see the movie
• 51:32
  I saw years and years ago. But speaking of column Pharrell, my no,
• 51:38
  just this is just we're having some fucking whiskey. Now. You ever
• 51:43
  seen in Bruges? Yeah that is a fucking good movie. Yeah. Yeah,
• 51:45
  so that's who does benchees of it. It's him name Brandon Lison.
• 51:49
  Okay, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's very deep. Like a lot
• 51:52
  of people watched it and they're like, what the fuck is that about?
• 51:55
  Right? And I all I took out of it was in part of it,
• 52:00
  Colin Fires trying to be Brendan Lison's friend through the whole thing, and
• 52:06
  Brendan Lisa wants him to leave him alone. He said, if you don't
• 52:07
  leave me alone, I'm gonna cut my fingers off. And he won't leave
• 52:10
  him alone. So he cuts his fingers off and sends them to him.
• 52:14
  And that was all I took from the movie was like an irishman would rather
• 52:16
  cut his fingers off than talk about his feeling. That's what I took away
• 52:21
  from it. It could be now, why why do Irish or English actors
• 52:25
  can speak Americans so well? Like? But like do you like, can
• 52:32
  you speak American? Guy? Like trying to try to have like a Connecticut
• 52:37
  dialect? Connecticut's weird, like in between New York. I can do it.
• 52:43
  You're easier. Put me on the spot here, Hi, how you
• 52:45
  doing? I don't know about that one? You know what I mean?
• 52:50
  Like you see like, I didn't know calin Paraoll was Irish until you like
• 52:52
  the like they do these movies and then you sit down and watch like the
• 52:55
  behind the scenes and he's I'm like, yeah, oh damn, yeah it
• 53:00
  from here. I don't know. I don't know why it is, but
• 53:01
  it doesn't translate way. It's what I'm saying, like, I can't I'm
• 53:06
  not even going to attempt to do an Irish accent. No. You get
• 53:08
  some people when you're talking to them and they'll be like, yeah, I'm
• 53:10
  an Irish heritage and they're they'll kind of slowly start changing their voice to an
• 53:16
  Irish accent and you just like, please stop that. Yeah. But when
• 53:21
  I did it, Megan, I was always trying to and I'm like,
• 53:22
  I can't do it. I'm not gonna bother trying. Yeah, you know,
• 53:25
  that's that's your guys specialty, although I'm losing mine little. You know
• 53:30
  what I was going to say. When I first met you, it was
• 53:31
  much more Yeah, well go always pretty pleasure in real estate, so you
• 53:36
  got to relate to the I used to sell the houses to when I first
• 53:38
  came over here, I used to, you know, doing a lot of
• 53:40
  calls and stuff, and I'd be talking to somebody for and I'd be talking
• 53:45
  for a couple of minutes, you know, explaining something and maybe just I
• 53:47
  haven't a clue what you just said. All the time subconsciously, so I
• 53:53
  don't do it on purpose, but right, but Ryan said, now if
• 53:58
  you know, if I I'm talking to one my Irish friends or my family
• 54:00
  on the phone round then it picks back up. So yeah, I don't.
• 54:07
  I don't know, but I definitely subconsciously slowed things down. And Galloway
• 54:12
  as well is very It would be worth the more easier accents in Galway or
• 54:17
  in Ireland to understand, like Dublin's very thick Cork or very thick Belfast when
• 54:22
  you go to Belfast. If you go to Belfast, clue what they're saying.
• 54:27
  Even like that. When I was working at the Keys, there was
• 54:31
  a bouncer that worked with me, and one of the first nights I was
• 54:35
  working, I was there was a little literally from here to the wall,
• 54:37
  there was a little shop across the road. So I was going over to
• 54:40
  get a bottle of water or some gumb or something and I was just like,
• 54:45
  you want it, and he goes get tan rabo. I'm like,
• 54:49
  what it goes? I was just when I was like walking off, I
• 54:58
  say that just you want a red bull? Yeah ten red bull. But
• 55:02
  if you do that, loll come rudging back to you when you when you
• 55:06
  go or if you go to the yea, there's very thick and we we
• 55:10
  as ever a wee a week hand of rebel. Everything's we being small.
• 55:15
  But they just put it in front of Yeah we a little bit of whiskey,
• 55:19
  but they say it literally in front of everything. Really, but we
• 55:22
  went we there go. Yeah, we went up and we stayed in the
• 55:25
  Titanic Hotel up there, which is the Titanic was where it was built.
• 55:31
  Hard to take off of. It ran from London or not Liverpool, Liverpool,
• 55:36
  Liverpool and then stopped in Cove and Cork and then it was heading over
• 55:39
  So yeah, they're big. Where did where did Leonardo DiCaprio get on it?
• 55:44
  Cove and Cork? Yeah, I'm pretty I think so. Anyway,
• 55:47
  that's where it took off for its final voyage, so the majority of people
• 55:51
  would have gone on in Liverpool and then it did a stop in court where
• 55:54
  he won his little poker bet yeh ran on I don't know. I think
• 55:58
  it was Ireland because he was spposed to be Irish and it was it.
• 56:01
  But yeah, that's their big They just can't cast you in the role.
• 56:05
  They got to get Leonardo. Their big name to fame in Belfast is Yeah,
• 56:07
  we built the biggest disaster on the sea. But it's really nice.
• 56:13
  How was the political climbing up there? It used to be. Yeah,
• 56:16
  Like I remember years ago when I was I want to say, like ten
• 56:21
  years old, my mother's company was based up in Carrickfergus, which is more
• 56:23
  north I would be more Loyalist or Protestant country. And I went in and
• 56:31
  I was trying to I think we stopped at a gas station, petrol station
• 56:36
  up there. I was buying a bag of chips and I went in and
• 56:39
  I had an old pound coin. When you say chips, you mean chips,
• 56:43
  what do you mean fries? Crisps? Chips? And I was trying
• 56:47
  at the time we didn't have the Euro, we had Irish pounds and there
• 56:50
  was a pound coin and I remember I went to pay with my pound coin
• 56:53
  and this old lady behind the counter goes, get out of my store with
• 56:58
  your Catholic money. To a ten year old, right Jesus So yeah,
• 57:02
  no, but that you know it is, that's some of them are are
• 57:07
  diehards up there, so you would do you will if you're driving around,
• 57:09
  you literally drive down the street and they'll just be Union Jack. I mean
• 57:14
  Irish car comes from that area, right yeah. Yeah, that was the
• 57:17
  the IRA Yeah, that was their their go to means of delivering bombs.
• 57:22
  By the way, Ireland has the best potato chip in the world, which
• 57:27
  potatoes. Oh yeah, potato potatoes. Potatoes are like the the original.
• 57:31
  There's other one's kills. Yeah, but they my friend's broke an ally that
• 57:37
  came with us on the second my second trip, not that I don't know
• 57:39
  if those are first, but yeah, they show alleyble order of online all
• 57:43
  the time, right yeah, I got I get some orders. It's the
• 57:47
  onion, which another fun fact random yeah go ahead was the first flavor ever
• 57:52
  put on a chip. She's an Irish guy. Yes, Spluid Murphy was
• 57:58
  his name. No really, yeah, like the legit name or that he
• 58:01
  just kind of I think he made I think he made up his own name
• 58:05
  because he was like dog yeah, so he uh he started. So the
• 58:10
  first two flavors were cheese and onion and salt and vinegar. That was well,
• 58:15
  that was the worst. That's still the worst. Flavor and chip vinegar.
• 58:19
  You do each their own. It's disgusting. A lot of people say
• 58:24
  cheese onions disgusting. Well, I mean, I mean it's like sour cream
• 58:29
  and onion. It's like, yeah, yeah, no, yeah, it's
• 58:34
  my brother off to say that. No, yeah, I like I like
• 58:37
  the salty bin. My favorite chip is uh the ruffles, Uh, sour
• 58:44
  cream and cheddar a couple of today. Yeah, I'm trying to think mine
• 58:50
  are And you can actually get them at Big Y next time you're in Big
• 58:52
  Y. If you go to the deli, they have kios cheese and onion.
• 58:57
  I don't know how big Y ended up getting them in just randomly.
• 59:00
  Yeah, I was up Big Wy and Derby. I'm assuming they'd have them
• 59:05
  in the Milford one as well. Probably probably all the same. They don't
• 59:07
  have to like in the chip isile. They're just in the front of the
• 59:09
  deli. You'll see its k they might so. I haven't really been in
• 59:15
  there yet, but you know, a little smoke shop they just opened up
• 59:16
  outside of stone Bridge. Yeah, they have probably the best uh rough on
• 59:22
  that ruffles. What's the fucking pringles? They probably have the best pringle selection
• 59:28
  I've ever seen. But as I walk by there every day going to work,
• 59:30
  they have a lot of foreign stuff there. I don't know if if
• 59:35
  there could be some Irish chips in there. I haven't really like searched around,
• 59:37
  you know, you see, like the Japanese labels and all this other
• 59:40
  stuff. It's just the ship when you're high, you know, like the
• 59:44
  international market, the international chip market, it's pretty strong down there. But
• 59:47
  if she likes cheese and onion, tell her to get some of those the
• 59:51
  cheese and big wy at the deli, Big wire, all right, big
• 59:54
  Wye, pay me, all right? So you know the nothing about hockey,
• 1:00:00
  you know nothing about basketball. No, you're all rugby and uh,
• 1:00:04
  probably a little bit of soccer. I'm assuming no soccer. No, yeah,
• 1:00:07
  I'm not into soccer, just the rugby. So there's something brewing right
• 1:00:10
  now that could really be uh taking over the local douchebags in the next week.
• 1:00:21
  And that's New York versus Boston. Sports everything hockey, hockey and basketball.
• 1:00:29
  They're actually the two American sports that I probably get behind because they're yeah,
• 1:00:32
  faster paced ye, stopping and starting. Yeah, like baseball. Uh
• 1:00:37
  So the Rangers are up to oh, the Bruins are up one oh,
• 1:00:40
  and then the Celtics are up one oh, and the Knicks are up one
• 1:00:44
  oh. And if all well either way, if those all those teams win
• 1:00:47
  their series, they're they're facing off the end of next week for all the
• 1:00:53
  marvels to go to the championship round. And uh, I'm I'm kind of
• 1:00:59
  like, I'm not worried about the Knicks because the Celtics are so good and
• 1:01:04
  having an irishman on my show is fucking perfect for that. H But the
• 1:01:08
  Rangers are really good and the Bruins I'm still not really sold on. And
• 1:01:15
  it's just I just I just don't want. I don't know, I hate
• 1:01:20
  and I don't talk a lot of shit about sports. Like I had the
• 1:01:23
  Patriots for fucking two decades, right, and I didn't really talk. I
• 1:01:27
  mean, yeah, there was a little smack talk here and there, but
• 1:01:29
  like, I just don't like I get over losses quickly. I don't let
• 1:01:34
  it. Fucking When I was younger, I didn't like it would like stick
• 1:01:37
  with me. But now I'm older, I'm like you know, life goes
• 1:01:38
  on. It's sports, you know. Are you all the Boston teams?
• 1:01:42
  I have all Boston teams, yeah, But I just feel like all the
• 1:01:45
  Dallas cowboy idiot fans are that energy is gonna come out of New York right
• 1:01:52
  next week if we all play each other, And I don't know how to
• 1:01:55
  attack it. I don't know if should I just go balls in like fuck
• 1:02:00
  it, like I'm just gonna be an asshole and just like but then but
• 1:02:02
  then, but then that backfires on you, and you gotta, like,
• 1:02:07
  I don't know, you just stay quiet. So like so like when like
• 1:02:09
  all right, so rugby's the big sport for you, right. So when
• 1:02:13
  we were in Ireland, it was the Galway's team was playing. Who were
• 1:02:15
  they playing? I can't even remember, but was it an Ireland team?
• 1:02:19
  No? I think it was a French team. Okay, But like so
• 1:02:22
  say Galway plays Dublin, right, and you guys hate each other like sports
• 1:02:27
  wise, like you know what I mean? Like I just I want to
• 1:02:30
  like just kind of go all in and be like, you know what,
• 1:02:34
  fuck the Rangers, fuck the fucking Nicks. I'm not actually, I'm not
• 1:02:37
  even worried about the Knicks, but the Rangers I would be worried about because
• 1:02:42
  they are a good team. But I just or I'm just like, you
• 1:02:44
  know what, let the chips fall where they may. Isn't that just getting
• 1:02:46
  behind your team? It is, But I don't know. I think I
• 1:02:52
  want to do a little bit. I want to do like a heel turn.
• 1:02:53
  I want to be maybe be a heel for once in a while,
• 1:02:57
  because I'm never really a heel, like when I was the Paige. You
• 1:03:00
  know, I'm Patriots fan and we want we were winning, but we lost
• 1:03:01
  some We lost in New York twice, and it's like it's all they talk
• 1:03:05
  about to this day is, well, we beat Tom Brady toys like they
• 1:03:07
  had to. Fucking just you didn't happen to see the Tom Brady roast the
• 1:03:10
  other night that you I just said, we need to watch that. So
• 1:03:14
  I held my god, but I'm going to yeah, awesome, awesome,
• 1:03:16
  And Eli Manning posted something on Facebook or Twitter or something like, oh,
• 1:03:22
  I didn't go to the roast because I didn't want to roast Brady for the
• 1:03:24
  third time something like that, And I'm like, you said roast twice in
• 1:03:29
  the same statement, like you're an idiot. But in my head, I'm
• 1:03:31
  like, no, I'm an idiot because I'm saying that, right, Like,
• 1:03:34
  I don't. I don't like getting into these conversations. Where are these
• 1:03:37
  conversations happened? Warriors? Baby? Okay, come on now, that's no
• 1:03:42
  one's calling me up and asking me about this ship. That's one thing I'm
• 1:03:46
  not I don't comment really on much stuff. But again, you know,
• 1:03:52
  if your team get behind them a whole bunch of you can see I'm behind
• 1:03:55
  my fucking teams. But I just I don't know. I don't know what
• 1:04:01
  it is like, I don't. I don't know. Like Boston has won
• 1:04:04
  so much in the last twenty five years of my life, right, six
• 1:04:08
  Super Bowls, four World Series, NBA Championship, Stanley Cup. Right,
• 1:04:15
  and I'm a Yukon fan, so you know, one fucking what is it
• 1:04:20
  now? Five six championships they've won, you know, like I've been pretty
• 1:04:24
  blessed to root for teams that have won. I was going to say,
• 1:04:27
  do you have secondary teams? I don't. I don't. So I grew
• 1:04:30
  up in Philly for a little bit when I was you know, so scumbags,
• 1:04:34
  that's all I hear. They are. No, You're not wrong,
• 1:04:39
  But I never know. I could never just And this is what like is
• 1:04:42
  crazy to me. When I talk to people that you know, they're they're
• 1:04:45
  you know, from America and they grew up and they have like you know,
• 1:04:47
  they're a Cowboy fan, a Yankee fan, this and that. I'm
• 1:04:50
  like, I was just my parents weren't huge sports fans. My brother really
• 1:04:57
  isn't a huge sports fan. Like I'll be like, oh, just see
• 1:04:59
  the game, last things, I'll sleep, you know, like I have
• 1:05:00
  to watch it to the end, right to his entirety unless it's a blowout.
• 1:05:04
  Then I'll go to bed like a proper fan. Yeah, but I'm
• 1:05:10
  like, I just I just don't understand, Like I just it's Boston and
• 1:05:14
  that's it. Like I don't I could never ever ever root for another like
• 1:05:17
  I will quietly root, like when my team's out, I'll pick a side
• 1:05:24
  just for rooting interest or betting interest. That's how I am. You know,
• 1:05:27
  we watched my wife all New York Giants and like her like, I
• 1:05:32
  don't think you guys should have gotten married like that. So I say I'm
• 1:05:35
  in New York. I'm your New York teams just by default. But actually
• 1:05:40
  again my mother's company, the Irish headquarters were in Carrack Fergus, but the
• 1:05:45
  world headquarters were in Dallas, and they used to get flown over once a
• 1:05:47
  year for a big meeting, and they used to do all the corporate ship
• 1:05:50
  and they bring them to Cowboys Stadium and she used to come back with signed
• 1:05:57
  posters about all the cheerleaders to Allen and stuff. So all the cheerleader posters
• 1:06:00
  and then it's Smith jersey and had no clue about American football? You do
• 1:06:06
  you understand it now like being here for a while or you just don't really
• 1:06:10
  pay too much so I understand it what I I feel like you either need
• 1:06:14
  to grow grow up, put it or play to understand, like all the
• 1:06:17
  moves and the way they're lining up and you know all that stuff. Right,
• 1:06:21
  So, and I enjoy watching football. It's just sometimes it's just so
• 1:06:26
  long. Yeah, But you know, I love what they've done with the
• 1:06:29
  Sunday and stuff. You know, we go over to friend's house, make
• 1:06:31
  a few dips and you know, everybody hang out and have a few beers
• 1:06:35
  on a Sunday, which get home by six and function on Monday. Right,
• 1:06:41
  they should change the super Bowl, though today Saturday, they are no,
• 1:06:44
  no, no, no. So what they're doing is it's not happening
• 1:06:46
  this season, but probably next is they're adding another game, so it's gonna
• 1:06:51
  be eighteen games, or they're adding another bye week. It's one of the
• 1:06:56
  two, which then pushes the Super Bowl off to a believe it's President's Day
• 1:07:00
  weekend. Okay, so a lot of people have that Monday off, so
• 1:07:02
  it's gonna stay on Sunday, but a lot of people have the holiday off.
• 1:07:05
  Look at them thinking with their heads, Yeah, finally, Jesus Christ.
• 1:07:11
  It's so funny though, like football now, like I you know,
• 1:07:13
  I watched it my whole life, and I believe me, I grew up
• 1:07:15
  in the Doldrum years of the Patriots. They were awful. They were one
• 1:07:17
  and fifteen every year. But just how it's become, it's just it's just
• 1:07:23
  it's just just a television show. Now. It's entertainment. It's all it
• 1:07:27
  is, you know, And it's funny how they joke about how it's scripted
• 1:07:30
  and all that. And you know, I'm a big conspiracy theorist, so
• 1:07:33
  like it doesn't it doesn't, you know, go over my head that you
• 1:07:35
  know, a lot of this shit probably is a little bit scripted because when
• 1:07:40
  there's referees involved, you know, it's like gymnastics or figure skating, you
• 1:07:45
  know, and then when there's you know, judges involved, they can do
• 1:07:47
  whatever they want that day. There's actually a great Irish boxer, he's professional,
• 1:07:51
  he's in the Olympics. Literally bet the head off a guy. He's
• 1:07:56
  actually from Northern Ireland. And there's a great picture of I'm just walking around
• 1:08:00
  at the end doing this to all the judges, just literally walked around the
• 1:08:02
  ring doing this because everybody knew we wanted. But that's one of the most
• 1:08:06
  corrupt sports, Olympic boxing. Yeah, a lot of US Olympic boxers that
• 1:08:12
  should have won and they didn't, you know. And it's funny how you
• 1:08:15
  I think judge sports are some of the craziest things, you know, Like
• 1:08:19
  who, like how did how do you like become such an acclaimed judge?
• 1:08:24
  Like are there? It's almost like who guards the guards themselves? Right?
• 1:08:27
  Who judges the judges? Right? Like the commissioner? Right? Yeah?
• 1:08:31
  Like like do we grade the judges, you know, like they grade the
• 1:08:35
  umpires in baseball now, but like who's grading the graders, you know,
• 1:08:39
  like like wat UFC or No, I don't. I'm always working Saturday nights.
• 1:08:44
  I follow it a little bit, I'm not. I've been to some
• 1:08:45
  events that are phenomenal, but I've never really like got fully engaged in.
• 1:08:50
  Remember last year that sugar showing Sean O'Malley guy like definitely lost a fight I
• 1:08:58
  guess to call them McGregor caught out on the other side of his door.
• 1:09:00
  You want to take it home with you? No, he's not your guy.
• 1:09:01
  Nah, No, proper well for you. No, but I think
• 1:09:06
  they might be sponsoring the golf tournament. So but yeah, no, at
• 1:09:13
  the end of that fight, it was it was close, but he definitely
• 1:09:15
  didn't win it. And then he won it, I think unanimously. But
• 1:09:17
  it's just like you can tell he's there. He's their new golden boy McGregor
• 1:09:21
  kind of coming up, so they can't have him lose, so right,
• 1:09:25
  Yeah, you know, I was just like, I bet you he's gonna
• 1:09:26
  win, and then they called it for him to win. Well that's where
• 1:09:28
  you bet. Yeah, go with your instinct on that ship. I'm not
• 1:09:31
  a betting man either. No, no, again, it's not it's I
• 1:09:35
  haven't placed the bet in a while since Yukon won. But football be rolling.
• 1:09:41
  Football is gonna be upon us in basically three months. Yeah, it's
• 1:09:45
  amazing how quickly this calend I say it every fucking lead on my show,
• 1:09:47
  how quickly this calendar turns out. It's the weeks just it's just flight,
• 1:09:50
  they fly by. Actually, Ryan's out. My wife is always She's like,
• 1:09:55
  I can't believe It'sunday Monday. I'm like, it's practically Friday because tomorrow's
• 1:09:59
  Tuesday, which is Wednesday, which is already Friday. No, my girlfriend
• 1:10:01
  has like a four day work week now, and it's like, so like
• 1:10:03
  tomorrow's her Friday, Like wa wait, you just started Just what the fuck,
• 1:10:08
  dude, Yeah she do. She's a dermatology nurse in Orange. So
• 1:10:12
  I was noted something on your forehead. Maybe she could check it out for
• 1:10:15
  you. Yeah, just kidding. Irish just washed. All right, Well
• 1:10:21
  let's wrap it up with this. The Celtics will win, the Bruins will
• 1:10:25
  win, New York will lose everything, and again you're here for the tournament.
• 1:10:30
  Yeah, Irish Heritage Society slante cilancha clancha cilantro. So that was our
• 1:10:39
  joke when We first went like, I couldn't say it. I still can't.
• 1:10:41
  I'm not gonna lie, I still can't say it. So we were
• 1:10:44
  just like me and Todd Heally were like, all right, just Cilantro.
• 1:10:46
  The good thing is Irish people usually have a good sense of humor. So
• 1:10:49
  for the most part, although we don't have Cilantro with Corey under, it's
• 1:10:55
  the same thing with a different name, yeah, is it? Yeah?
• 1:10:58
  Yeah, Cilantro. I think is Mexico is using a lot in New Mexican
• 1:11:02
  Mexican food, but this thing is yes, to say, a gang over
• 1:11:05
  there, it's like, what do we have? You've courgette, which we
• 1:11:09
  call aubergine or but anyway, yeah, Cilantro is I don't know, you
• 1:11:15
  call fucking pudding for breakfast and it's fucking disgusting. Sassage. Yeah, I'm
• 1:11:19
  always trying to get. Actually, the white one, what's the white one?
• 1:11:23
  So it's essentially a sausage. It's a sausage with spices and there's usually
• 1:11:26
  a bit of oats and stuff in it. But the white one I could
• 1:11:29
  handle. The blood one, No, it's so good. Well you're from
• 1:11:31
  there, yeah, I mean, but I'm actually a very picky eater,
• 1:11:34
  so I'm surprised that I do like it. But yeah, it's one of
• 1:11:36
  those things I do like, being a picky eater. All right, tell
• 1:11:42
  us one thing about you that no one knows. Wow, yeah, I
• 1:11:46
  just I don't even know why I just popped that up. That was a
• 1:11:47
  red Breast question. What's your favorite whiskey outside of red Breast? How's that?
• 1:11:53
  Umm? What? Well? Like like if if if if I go
• 1:11:57
  to Ireland, not even if I go to Ireland, if if this is
• 1:12:01
  my last meal, what what whiskey are you serving me? I don't care
• 1:12:05
  how expensive it is, I don't care. What what do you serve in
• 1:12:08
  me? Probably Middleton? Oh yeah, Middleton extra very rare, very rare.
• 1:12:14
  Yeah, you know, the more expensive the better. Yeah. No,
• 1:12:16
  not necessarily but true. But yeah, generally speaking, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:12:20
  I'm not a you know everybody, Especially when I first moved over here,
• 1:12:24
  I'd go into a bar and everyd be like, oh, you're right,
• 1:12:26
  or here's a shot of Jamison. Though I don't like Jameson. See
• 1:12:28
  now, I like Jamison. I like Jamison and Ginger, but I don't
• 1:12:33
  like so kind of my rule of thumb with bourbons because I'm American is if
• 1:12:38
  you really, if it's a really good bourbon, you just kind of drink
• 1:12:42
  it neat or maybe a cube. I'm not I don't like cold bourbon.
• 1:12:45
  I feel like like if you were to put a cube in a Jamison,
• 1:12:48
  Like if I was doing a shot at Jamison and you chilled it, yeah,
• 1:12:50
  I'd probably throw up right. It just changes the complexity of it so
• 1:12:55
  much. But Jamison as is, I love it. I just do.
• 1:13:00
  I like Tallamore dude just as just a little slightly below Jamison. James is
• 1:13:04
  my go to for a lot of reasons. The price point. You know,
• 1:13:10
  yes, I will get into some other shit that is better than Jamison,
• 1:13:15
  but let's be honest, it's just not you know, it's not doable
• 1:13:18
  for an every day drinking whiskey. So like bourbon. Like it's funny.
• 1:13:24
  I was just I was at a wake the other day and I met a
• 1:13:27
  friend of mine and we went over to Founders and he ordered a Basil Hayden
• 1:13:30
  on the rocks, So, you know, keeping with him, I said,
• 1:13:33
  you know, I'll do a Basil Hayden, but I'm gonna do it,
• 1:13:35
  you know as a Manhattan or an old fashion I got so I'll do
• 1:13:40
  an old fashion and he looks at me. He goes, You're gonna do
• 1:13:43
  Basil Hayden as an old fashion And I said, I said, this is
• 1:13:46
  probably the top of the bourbon scale that I'm actually going to make a drink
• 1:13:51
  out of it. You know, I start going above this. No,
• 1:13:55
  I'm not mixing it. And he's like, you know what, fuck it,
• 1:13:57
  I'll do old fashion too. So we both did do fashion. He
• 1:14:00
  looks at me. It's fucking fantastic. I go, I know, and
• 1:14:02
  they said, you know, my friend had me doing angels Envy one.
• 1:14:06
  He goes, but I feel like it ruined the angels vig. Yeah,
• 1:14:10
  like, once you get up that scale, you have to cut it off.
• 1:14:14
  You know. It's and Jamison you can do with Ginger. I don't.
• 1:14:16
  I pour him all the time. I don't particularly, but I understand
• 1:14:21
  where that you know that the mindset comes from. I just don't. Jamison
• 1:14:26
  Niece are shots not for me? Tolly Tolly is good, good to go.
• 1:14:31
  Obviously, you know Ed Cleary very well. Yeah, and he's at
• 1:14:36
  the he's at the I I know the name that used to work. He's
• 1:14:41
  a ups driver. Now again, I don't get down there as much.
• 1:14:44
  Well, you know what, stop having kids. I know, yeh,
• 1:14:46
  Jesus, I don't even down there property and anyway, he won't drink anything
• 1:14:50
  but Tully yeah. And then I finally found out why because his family is
• 1:14:55
  from Tullamore doo. And I said, that's why I'm paying into the Like
• 1:15:00
  I'm gonna buy you a shot of James and you're gonna refuse it, all
• 1:15:01
  right, Like come on, well let's it. You know you don't refuse
• 1:15:03
  it. It's just yeah, He's like, no, it's gotta be telling
• 1:15:09
  all right. Speaking of I got to tell you, honey up there,
• 1:15:11
  if you want to try that after, I will. I'm not a big
• 1:15:14
  fan, no no, I don't love the flavored whiskeys. Yeah no,
• 1:15:17
  Actually, proper twelve apple is not bad. I heard. I have heard
• 1:15:21
  that, yeah, because I remember actually in Stonebridge when I was in there
• 1:15:25
  and they had Patty Apple. Oh we did yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
• 1:15:29
  Interesting because everybody else a random bottle that they gifted us. But that's
• 1:15:32
  when I again, when I first came over here, everybody's like, what
• 1:15:35
  what's the big whiskey in Ireland? I was like, Paddy, open up
• 1:15:38

  an Irish person and I think you can get in. Yeah, and I'll
• 1:16:16
  review your application. Yeah, yeah, but no, no, seriously though,
• 1:16:20
  it's if you guys. If I have been in Heritage, you definitely
• 1:16:24
  go down there. The guinnesses are cheap. I'm good. It's probably like
• 1:16:27
  one of the best pints because again you know, Guinness doesn't travel, but
• 1:16:30
  they do a good job down there. I have I have gotten my certificate
• 1:16:34
  twice though. Yeah, I've been to the gravity bar twice and I've gotten
• 1:16:38
  my certificate. Is something called the gravity bar something like that, right,
• 1:16:42
  I think beginne it is a gravity bar. Yeah, so I got my
• 1:16:45
  certificate twice, so I'm an official Guinness poorer. Not that it's fucking hard
• 1:16:48
  to do, but you whip it out every time anyone I went up busy.
• 1:16:51
  I just don't even do it. It's fast, poor it here you
• 1:16:54
  go, especially I fucking pred it. Oh, thanks again so much.

• 1:17:06
  are getting a little bit a little bit crazy talking about some conspiracy theories.
• 1:17:16
  I have a friend that was on the floor of the Las Vegas shooting at
• 1:17:20
  the Country concert about almost seven years ago in October, I think it'll be
• 1:17:26
  maybe even eight, and we're gonna discuss all our theories on that and how
• 1:17:30
  he survived it, how his family survived it, and all that stuff that
• 1:17:35
  goes into it. So stay tuned for that next Wednesday. Alan, thanks
