The Irish Civil War with Shane Todd | History Hyenas

For decades, a shadowy organization called The Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around: Lemon Forward sodas, even Lemon Forward songs. We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them, and squeezed out the truth. That's lemon propaganda right there. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Join the 7up-rising. Flip the sip. All right, folks, we got Shane Todd on the pod. He's got a hard out in 40 minutes because he's taking a flight back to another country. And you know this country, we will fucking hold him off the line because the kid's not American. So we just have to check him out a little bit. He's from the motherland. From Belfast. From Belfast. Welcome. Boy, it's good to be here. I do think you think I'm Scottish, though, because when I asked you about the subject for this, Yanis was like, let's cover some Scottish history. Yeah, he does. I think you're from Belfast. He just knows I'm white. Yeah. But that's kind of it. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Original white, like the factory where white people were made. You come from where the American whites are made. Yes. I did my ancestry thing, and I was keen to see how exotic I was. And it was like, you never left. Right. I was like 100% Irish. Right. Like 100%. Right. See, the thing what I like about Shane is the kid is fully Irish, but he does look like a German Nazi. Oh. Yeah, he's got the look. 100%. Yeah. I look like I could be from Germany or like cold parts of Spain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I opened for Chris when he was in Belfast. Yeah. On tour. Yeah. And Chris like had a long conversation with me about how he's turned everything around. He was getting healthy, and he was eating right on tour. And we were talking about how important that is on tour. I took Chris and James Matterhorn. James Matter. We'll call him James Matterhorn. Yeah, I like that. I like that. That's what I call him. Yeah, yeah. I took them out for a drink, and Chris was like, "I'm just going to have one drink. I'm living healthy." And I was like, "God, that's great." And I drove home. The next day, my friend went, "I saw Chris DiStefano in Belfast last night." I was like, "Oh, you were at the show. Did you like it?" He's like, "No, no. He was walking through city center with like a rucksack full of McDonald's." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was like, "I didn't know the container they gave him." He's like, "I've never seen that before." Yeah. Yeah. Chris is Chrissy. Went in Rome. Chrissy, honey pots. Chrissy. Yeah. Whatever his plan is, you can derail him with a bag of McDonald's, a Guinness, a piece of puss. You can just derail the kid. Yeah. We all talked about this morning. We talked about how looking for a new place to live is really stressing the both of us out. And we had a real hard talk conversation. And we said, "We will not look at any more places for at least six months. Let's just take the pressure off. We're happy with what we got." And immediately after this podcast, I have four apartments to look at. The kid bought three houses when he was in Belfast? Yeah. Yeah. The final property in Belfast. Chris and the Chinese. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's going to be on Zillow. Zillow. In Ireland. Zillow. Yeah. So, Chris, how's your time been in the US? It's been great. I'll tell you this. Well, it's been up and down. First show, San Francisco, people in masks in the front row of the show. I go chatting to a guy. He's a Mexican guy in the front row. He's wearing a mask. I asked him about it. And I was like, "Oh, is it like a Silence of the Lambs kind of thing?" Yeah. It's been a bit weird. I called him Juanable Lecter. Yes. He hated it so hard. Yeah. He hated it. I like that one. I like Juanable Lecter. That would be a good Patreon name. Juanable Lecter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one. I heard the way Sean Sheehan in my head when I said it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then we went to Tijuana for the day. Oh, nice. Yeah. I felt like I was at a barbecue at Chris's house. Yeah. Seriously. That really is. Tijuana, dude. Yeah. That is. I've never been to Tijuana. Yeah. Yeah. What'd you think of it? It was good to say we're gone. It was the easiest country to get into. Yeah. We breezed and they didn't even really look at our passport. Yeah. And then the way back, it was a lot of- Big time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. San Diego is a very conservative town. Right. Yeah. Yeah. You don't really get a hint of any Mexico, even though it's so close to Mexico. Yeah. You don't really get a hint. Yeah. Yeah. And then we were. Oh, I booked our hotel for me and my friend in San Francisco, not knowing a lot about San Francisco. I thought the Tenderloin sounded lovely. Yeah. Wow. I was like, "Just that sounds nice." Yeah. Yeah. You know, it sounds like a nice thing I would like. Yeah. And we stayed there and. You got fucked in the ass by a guy. Yeah. Well, it's a lot of Tenderloin. But it. Exactly. Yeah. But. But it's a war zone there. Yeah. It's a war. It's crazy when you're in a developed country like America and the guy at reception is like, "Guys, have a great time, but when you leave the hotel, don't turn left." Yeah. That's so unsettling when he's like, "Don't go left." It's crazy that. It's crazy that a kid who grew up in Belfast is like, "That part of town's a war zone." Oh, yeah. Yeah. He grew up in Belfast. Yeah. A lot of unreasonable gentlemen. Yeah. The Tenderloin. But Ireland has its problems like everywhere else. But America's the only place I've been to. And I thought it was just in San Francisco, but it's all over. Where in the CVS, the groceries are incarcerated. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, they are. Yeah. You can't. Yeah. Yeah. We were buying Doritos like I was buying a diamond necklace for my wife. It's a big thing, dude. Yeah. Because we fucking. Too many people steal here. Yeah. Well, over there. We voted for change. Yeah. No. Over there, you have to protect. The CVSs have to be protected by a national guard. Yeah. Yeah. It's bad. You got to have a guard with an AR-15 guarding the deodorants and shampoos. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like he brought the gloves himself. Yeah. I think what we should really do for San Francisco is just have Trumpy on Truth Social put out a thing that, "Hey, we're going to bomb San Fran," and then the people on Truth Social know to get out, and the people who aren't, they just fucking got to go. Well, with the wind, it would take it to San Diego. Seriously. The bomb would not land. No. It's funny. You know how we say reality is a suggestion? Yeah. Well, price is a suggestion in San Francisco. Yeah. Yeah. It's like pay if you want or just take it. Yeah. Dude, I went to this deli over there, Molinari's. It's one of the best Italian sandwiches I've ever had in my life. Yeah. And the food is so good there that the people who work there will just be dicks to you. They just know there's nothing that you're going to do, because it's the only sandwich I've had that it's comparable to New York. You've ever eaten there? No. And they just look at you like, "What the fuck do you want," type thing. And there was a part of me that wants to be like, "Listen, dude, you're from San Francisco, so that just means I'm automatically better than you. I just am better than you, but I do want to eat those fucking cold cuts, so I'm not going to say nothing." Yeah. Well, that's how you know the place is probably good if they treat you like that. Yeah. Usually, the better the food, the worse they treat you. You ever notice that? Which is good. Yeah. What does it mean when your nipples are itchy? That's my new thing now. My nipples are just itchy everywhere. You've got a sexually transmitted disease. No. The good news about me is I know I don't. There's no possible way I can't. Yeah. Do you have big nips? But maybe it's an old one flaring up. Could be. Yeah. They just stick around there. Yeah. No, I don't have big nips, and I've been used. Well, I have one nip that fucking hangs off under my armpit, but I've been using this healthier paraben-free deodorant that you spray on, and maybe I'm accidentally spraying some on my nips. Yeah. Possible. That's very possible. Yeah. Just outside. Just outside Belfast. Yeah, but it's tiny. Like, everywhere. Like, Belfast would be my nearest city. So, the mayor. Who's the mayor over there? I know you've got, like, an Indian guy or something. It's like. That's in Dublin. The mayor in Belfast is kind of like work experience. It's like you could. When you were in Belfast, you could have been the mayor. Right. Right. Like, the mayor is like. You've got the chain. Like, he wears his own clothes. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, the mayor will wear their own clothes. Yeah. Like, they'll wear a tracksuit or whatever. Yeah. Like, the mayor isn't that big of a deal in Belfast. Yeah. So, Ireland's, like, not even Irish anymore. Is that really true or is it just ex-hype? Are there, like. Is it, like, overrun with immigrants and stuff? Well, there was loads of. That was in. There was, like, loads of riots in Dublin. Yeah. And being, like, from just outside Belfast, it was kind of nice to, like, to watch that. You know? Because we were like, you know, it's not us. Right. You know? But, yeah, in Dublin. Like, that's crazy in Dublin. So, it's in Dublin most. That seems to be where, like, all the trouble for all that kind of stuff is. Yeah. It's crazy. But we are, like. Like, we will give off. Like, you know, people will give off and be, like, everyone coming over to Ireland, you know, trying to start a life here. Yeah. We're everywhere. Yeah. Sure. We're everywhere. You are everywhere. Well, the thing is, too, like, when you meet Irish people here in New York, they're never from Northern Ireland. Yeah. They're from, like, Dublin, like, the Republic of Ireland. So, it's weird when, like, I had to tell Paddy Finnegan, like, oh, I'm in Belfast and there's not. You know, there. You see Catholics and Protestants. He's like, that's. No. Irish people are Catholic. Yeah. And it's like, no, no, no. There's a lot that aren't. Yeah. Yeah. I went to San Diego from Tijuana and you actually see the wall, like, the wall that goes into the sea. I was like, this is crazy. Like, I took a minute to just take it in. I was like, what kind of world do we live in where these people are divided by a wall? They remember where I was from. You're from Belfast. And I was like, we got a bit of a wall. Yeah. We got a bit of a wall. Yeah. When I went there two years ago, you can sign the wall something nice and I wrote my Patreon on the wall. It's just what it is. Because it's just. I mean, now that. That's Michael D. Higgins. I mean, this guy is fucking wild. Yeah. He looks like a character from Lord of the Rings. Yeah. He does. Who is this guy? This is Michael D. Higgins. He's the pres right now? He's the president of Ireland. Yeah. President of Ireland. He's great. Look at that picture at the bottom where he's meeting Prince William or King William or whatever. Yeah. Look how tiny he is, dude. Look at how small he is. He's tiny. Now, he's a wee. He's the tallest man in Ireland. Now, because when you say Ireland. Would you abide? Yeah. That's it. Look how tiny he is. But Northern Ireland, you don't recognize him as the president. Oh, why? I mean, I just say I'm Irish. You don't give a shit. We can be like fluid. You know? The young can, but not. The older people wouldn't do that. They make a call. They make a call. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you're seeing in. I can. Belfast in Northern Ireland. Well, you call it all Ireland. You think it's starting to be unified by the people a bit. Well, they're talking about having a referendum, but it's like. So people are over it? Their people are over there. No, there's a lot of people who are absolutely not over it. Not over it. No, they love it. Right. You know, it gets them going. And it's just the religion. It's just religion. It's literally a Protestant Catholic thing. Yeah, it's it. Which, and like, it's crazy because if there's Protestant people who are Catholics and vice versa, you've got to ask like eight questions before you decide whether you hate the person. That's crazy. You know, you eye them up and you're like, you know, you've got to find like, what school did you go to? Where are you from? How do you pronounce the letter H? Yeah. Then you can be like, you're my enemy. But there's like a long time where you're not a hundred percent sure. What's the H difference? Like you said, pronounce your H. Typically, some people say H and other people say H and that's like a big deal. Like if you say that wrong and people are like, what comes after G? Yeah, I'm right. What comes after G? Yeah. That's the difference between like a dap up in Belfast or like a boo. There's no better example, I think, than Ireland between the Catholics. There's no better example of Catholics and Protestants that just show you that humanity will just find the way to hate each other. I mean, because if you do the Protestant-Catholic here, people are going, what? Yeah. Right. What? Yeah. You guys hate each other. I don't care. The guy's Protestant. It's like not even, it's an afterthought. Yeah. Like what? You're Catholic? You're Protestant? I don't give a fuck. I'll tell you what, cuz. First of all, Conor McGregor looks terrifying in that picture. He looks like he's been through some drugs. Yeah, he just does. I mean, I wouldn't want to fight a guy like that. But that's what kind of happens to the Irish is they kind of fall apart after like- They blow out a little bit. They blow out a little bit. But Shane's healthy. He's looking good. Yeah. And I'm a Crohn's kid. Yeah, how old are you? I've got Crohn's. You're a Crohn's cutie. I'm Crohn's, though. Oh, you're a Crohn's cutie? Yeah. Yeah, I've got Crohn's. You're the Pete Davidson of Ireland. That's my secret. It keeps me looking young. I'm 36. 36? Yes. But I'm aware I look anywhere between like 19 and 40. You do, yeah. You look like a 23-year-old girl. You look like a candidate for trans surgery. Yes. In the brow of a hill, I look like Ellen. Yeah, if I'm in the right direction, I look like Ellen. Like, for sure, I look like Ellen. Now, I've got to be honest with you, and we've spoken about this. You've been to Belfast or you haven't? No. Because I know this is going to sound sacrilegious. Yeah. I'm telling you, though, one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life was in Belfast at Flout Pizza. That's right. That man who runs the pizza shop at Flout Pizza, that pizza- Pete. Pete, is unbelievable, dude. Yeah. I'm telling you, and this is coming from me, who you know me. I'm a kid. I know my Puerto Ricans. I know my pizza. Yeah. This pizza puts any. Dude, I know what you're about to say is wild. It sounds crazy. It's nearly as good as Lucali's. What? Because what this kid did, the kid who runs the Flout- He's an Irish kid? Oh, yeah. He's an Irish kid, but he took a Japanese approach to it. You know, in Japan, some of the best food in the world is in Japan of any cuisine because they just focus on one thing. They focus on one thing and one thing only. They're now trying to do a thousand different things. So this place, Flout Pizza, they just do pizza. And it's just this guy, this kind. He's let everything else fall by the wayside. He doesn't give a shit how he looks. He's fucking blown out. He doesn't care about his family. He's like, I make the pizzas. And his pizza is legendary. Wow. It really is. When you said he took a Japanese approach, I thought you meant like he bombed the dominoes he was at before. Yeah. Where does he get the tomatoes? He's traveled all over the world. It's unbelievable. Learning about pizza and all that. But where does he get the tomatoes? He's got to get them imported. You guys don't got tomatoes. No. Yeah. He's the only person that could bring the Protestants and the Catholics together. Yeah. So if you're like a Catholic kid and you bring home a Protestant girl to your mom, is it like bringing home a black girl if you're an Italian in America? I don't think it's that big of a deal now, but I'd say that was horny back in the day. Back in the day. Behind enemy lines sort of thing. Wow. Like coming across the peace wall and that kind of thing. That's the only thing, the difference between like the American Mexican wall and our wall is there's like doors in our wall. Yeah. You can just go through it. Yeah. I'm sure there's a glory hole somewhere. Yeah. That's got to be the horniest glory. But isn't there that one part of Belfast where they actually closed that wall? It's still to this day every night, right? Well, that's how you know it's not that hardcore. The wall, yeah, the door gets locked at night, but then it's open like eight till seven. Right. So like you can pass through it. Like it's- So it's just a tourist thing. It's a tourist thing and it's just a really, it's a traffic nightmare. It's like you want to just fucking, you know, you can't go like, you have to like go all the way around town after a certain time because that fucking door is locked. Yeah. It's just for Asian tourists. Like when the tours are over, the wall comes up like a garage door, you know, and then people just like get in. Yeah, nobody cares. But I did the tour of Belfast because I had friends coming over and I was like, I know everything about the city and all that kind of stuff. And it was mad how much I learned about it. Yeah. And then you're like looking down at this wall. It's like being in a zoo. It's almost worth it what happened just to have a tourist attraction because otherwise you go to Belfast and you're like, look at these potatoes, look at the French fries. Hey, Titanic, baby. Oh, Titanic. That was us. That came from Belfast. The museum, we have the museum. The museum there is lovely. And one of the best hotels in the world to me is the Merchant Hotel in Belfast. I love staying at that hotel. I love it there. Yeah. You got to go. We should do a live history of heinous in Belfast. Oh, that would be great. Go to the fucking Europe. You've been to Edinburgh. I've been to Edinburgh. The first time we met. I got dumped in Edinburgh. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the first time we met, we were talking about the Edinburgh Fringe and I was like, have you been? It's so great, isn't it? And you know, I was like, nah, it was a horrible experience. No, I mean, the kid was going to a breakup bed. Yeah. Yeah. It was bad. Edinburgh is not a breakup. No. You want to break up. No. It's just gray. Yeah. It's a great place to go and off yourself. Yeah. It's a good place to go if you're Dracula. I mean, you just feel like you're like in another century. Everything's gothic. This hotel, the Merchant Hotel, it's amazing. They have like these Victorian beds. I love the Merchant Hotel. I really, truly do. The crowds in Belfast, I got to be honest with you, the crowds in Belfast and Dublin were the best crowds. I did a whole tour through Europe. It's not even close. The Irish crowds, the best by a landslide. Just the best. Not too dry. Are they drunk or anything? No. Well, they can handle their alcohol. They can handle it. Yeah. Well. Because you guys have like, say it shows you're like two drink minimum and American comics are like, is your two drink minimum it shows in Ireland? Yeah. I'm like, no one needs to be told. Yeah. Oh. And then if you get told that, we have to pretend like that's crazy, the idea of having two drinks. Yeah. People have two drinks and drive to the show. Yeah. Is it true there's no AA in Ireland? There's no Alcohols Anonymous? Like you just deal with it as a family problem if someone's getting after it? Is that true? No, that's not true. They do have AA there. Yeah. No, they got, they probably, it's probably booming industry in Ireland. No, I think that alcoholism was just looked at differently in Ireland than it is here. Well. My son's actually. An alcoholic? At a meeting right now. Yeah. He's eight. He's four. Well, here's the deal. That's wild. And this is what we're talking about. We're going to tell the people about is it used to be, it used to be in Ireland, you just went to the parliament and everyone was fucking getting hammered. So they would have like brawls in there. So like the stereotype. The stereotypes just don't fall from, fall from the sky. Right. Exactly. I mean, you know, we've all met a couple of Jews who try to cut a deal. It's what it is. We've all seen a couple of dicks that were black that were really, really big. Yeah. Yeah. It's just what a couple of dumb Polish kids. Yeah. It's what it is. Yeah. My girl's got a tattoo on her tit. Yeah. It's just, they don't fall from the sky. Yeah. Yeah. You know, they just don't. I mean, we've all met a few Greeks who were in the guys. It's what it is. We've all met a couple of Italians who loved their. Come on, live in the basement, have a Corvette. It's what it is. We've all met a few Chinese who are spies. Yeah. We've all met a few Jews who crawled into your shoes. Yeah. It's what it is. So you're going to meet a couple of Irish kids that like to fucking bang back a couple of cold ones. Yeah. That's an issue for me. Cause when I show up to shows out here, they're like, we've got you sorted out. I don't really drink. Wow. They'll, they'll, they'll be like, there's 12 cans of Guinness for you. Yeah. I also can't have gluten. So I just sit, I put it up to my mouth and I said, but then I go back to coconut water. So you're like a Jewish Irish kid. You got allergies, you got fucking Crohn's, you're circumcised and you don't drink. Yeah. Because you're scared of what might happen. Yeah. Yeah. And now when an Irish kid tells you he doesn't drink, you know, there's a story behind it. It's not just I don't drink. It's like, I don't drink because my dad drank and hit everyone. Yeah. There has to be though, a workaround for, if you're born in Ireland with Crohn's disease, there has to be a beer you can drink. They have to have figured out that out. There's a gluten-free one. And I say I don't drink, but that's like an Irish I don't drink. Like I'll drink like six, seven times a year and like excessively drink. Right. Yeah. But I will call. But in Irish, that's a teetotaler. Yeah. You know, that's like, I don't drink. Right. I had one because last night was the last show of the whole tour. Where was it? Last August in the stand, early and late show in the stand. Nice. So I had a cider, a pint of cider after the show. And that's gluten-free? That was gluten-free. And for an Irish kid, that's not drinking. I couldn't drink. Cider is not allowed. Right. Like that's illegal. Right. Like it's got to be like Guinness or beer. Yeah. Right. Right. So you really can't go through living in Ireland and not having alcohol at all. Yeah. You got to have something. Because the people who don't drink just don't have that much alcohol. Yeah. Got it. I understood. I understood. But that is funny. But it is true. I mean, yeah. I got to say, though, when I was in Ireland, man, you don't see, you see people drunk and having a good time, but they don't fucking, like, I feel like you can handle it better because you drink earlier. Yeah. You guys say the free is here. Fucked up. Yeah. No one really ends up that fucked up. People will be like mangled after like 12 pints and be like, I got to go. I got to drive this bus. Now, how early can you start? Like, what's the age that people genuinely start drinking in Ireland? 15. 15? It's okay. Our legal drinking age is 18. If you go to go into like a country bar, like in the countryside or whatever, and you look 16, 17, you're probably all right. Probably good. Yeah. I do a bit of my show about, I took my dad to New York a couple of years ago. My dad's 75. My dad's 5'5", long white hair, little white beard. We went to go into an Irish bar in Times Square, and the American doorman ID'd me and my dad. Yeah. Wow. My dad looks like a white man. He looks like a white walker from Game of Thrones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this guy was like, you need to prove he's over 21. But my dad didn't bring his passport. So what happened? He wouldn't let him in? Well, I needed to like prove my dad was over 21, so I just pulled the skin on my dad's elbow and walked backwards. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I ran the block, and I was like, this surely proves. Yeah. But we had to like, we had to get into it. the whole thing yeah we stick to the rules here yeah we are a little bit with the but the rules sometimes it's it's like a little you like noise though you're german you like when people fall i do like rules yeah i do but i also kind of just like you know you got to just think about things like sometimes it's like to have a little fucking common sense yeah i mean look at the guy's got gray beard yeah the guy's got a gray beard i mean you know yeah his balls you know ask him all you got to do is situation is you know show him a black guy and if he says colored he's old enough he calls him a negro let him so what is the age is 15 the age that priests stop getting interested in you as well in ireland people exactly so it's like 14 and under you're then you're catching then you get sent to the bar yeah so you're talking about it you know you're officially a man in ireland when a priest stops getting interested in you and you think yannis that's why irish kids drink so much is because they all get touched a little bit by the catholic priest is that is that your is that your kind of take here that's what it's called irish therapy for a reason i mean you push it down i mean i did read an article there was in ireland it happened a lot a lot of kids got clipped irish kid irish catholic kids didn't get clipped as much as the american kids right right right right we got clipped more or or if they did we don't know about it because they're really irish and they just don't talk about it yeah luckily for me i was a late bloomer like looks wise can you bring up uh brazilian ronaldo the the soccer player gonna take about 15 minutes so growing up i got uh i i got yeah he put the word we're in quality ronaldo ronaldo is ronaldo from uh from wish but i uh this guy yeah if you that photo uh i mean yeah that's the third one in third one in yeah this one so growing up my nickname in school was ronaldo and i thought it was because i was really good at soccer but make no mistake it's just because i look like that guy when i was a kid you shaved your head like that no no no i didn't shave my head like i put the teeth the ears on the head that was i mean this kid blew out look at out look at him now one of the best soccer players of all time one of the best soccer players and one of the most famous trans lovers yeah you got you got caught why not yeah why not i mean yeah the kid got caught with a couple of trans prostitutes in a motel no i think there was like if i'm right i think there was 12 prostitutes and one or two of them were trying i think he was like percentage wise this isn't like look it's fine not even a thing i mostly don't want to be with trans but i do like a few yeah yeah and that's the thing you know when you have a bowl of oatmeal you're gonna get a couple of raisins in there but it is and and then when they ask them more questions about it to distract them and change the subject that's why she had to stand like that like that yeah people just talk about like that yeah yeah the eliminati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything even our music that hit song named after the color of lemons not a coincidence big lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years think about it but now seven up is fighting back

legislative they were just fully drunk what else you gonna do i mean they went there they would drink they were drinking while they were talking like laws and politics they just got absolutely hammered good i'm not like fine roman wines like they would have in the courts we're talking like meat meat yeah right medieval beers yes yeah like 75 alcohol yeah yeah yeah yeah you guys ever heard of potching what's that oh potching is like a an irish spirit and i don't know what the alcohol content is but it is insane old people in ireland will have a bottle of potching it's like you're not allowed to sell it like in bars or anything right but they will have like an empty coca-cola bottle with potching in it and they have like a little sip someone dies maybe they have a little sip of potching wow but it's got to be like a hundred percent alcohol 100 like like if you drank a cup of it you would die you'd die wow you'd die yeah and they'd get so hammered sometimes um that they would get into fights and then they'd just go let's go solve this would do it they'd just be hammered and then they'd go outside and they'd just shoot each other shoot each other and kill each other yeah yeah yeah nice yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean yeah i mean i mean it's definitely gonna make it more fun i assume that like engaging in the legislative branch is pretty boring i think it was because like ireland for so long was ruled by english kings an english crown that when we we got to like rule ireland ourselves it was like it was probably like the first night they ruled it was like let's have a couple drinks let's have a party and that just seemed to continue right for like a long time right you know yeah yeah just have a good time who gives a bar yeah bar yeah and i gotta be honest when i said because when i told you that i wanted to be healthy in belfast at the show i genuinely meant it but then i started drinking beers at that bar that we all went to out and then i just said you know what who cares about anything i want to stuff a fucking mcfish down my throat and i'm like oh my god i'm gonna yeah yeah yeah yeah and but i but i enjoyed it yeah i enjoyed it and i gotta be honest with you i would have married a transgender irish person that night i would have fucking fully i would have pulled a ronaldo yeah that's the funny thing think about just doing doing laws while you're hammered you wake up and you're like did we do that last night yeah yeah yeah did we decide that we were going to invade yeah we invade scotland wait you're like the people in belfast like did we secede from ireland yeah it's so hammered yeah what the fuck did we do last night holy shit what did we do we you can tell we're so drunk because we still haven't figured the secession and stuff out yet yeah right 2025 we're still like the hangover still just keeps that going yeah so it's right still haven't figured it out yeah i mean when i was there when i went i and i don't know if this was just a tour guide you know put it up but i had my arms up and i had like you know these crosses and whatever and they were saying oh we're going into the prostate part of town you need to cover up that you need to put your sleeve down yeah and the cat because i was like really is that just like part of the tour and he was like no you really should because he was like i'm not worried about the young guys but if there's an old-timer walking around and they just see that and they're drunk they actually might fucking get a flashback maybe someone might say something but the great thing about those tours is the tour guides are done by like what we would call the troubles in belfast so like the conflict in belfast yes like the the 60s to the 90s kind of the guys that take you in black taxis to do these tours are like the guys who were part of it yeah they were part of it my tour guide was fighting fought in the war yeah and now they do the tours which is unbelievable it's like doing a like the france uh set experience was like you know david schwimmer yeah i was taking it well the thing is what belfast actually is let's call what it is it's the middle east for white people yeah that's what belfast actually is it's it's literally cabal for the whites right yeah it's just what it is well who's the jews and who's the palestinians the jews well you mean who's the good guys who's the bad guys guys that's my heart so i would say i would say i mean well it depends careful but the catholics way outnumber the protestants right even in even in only in northern ireland do they not yeah exactly so going south absolutely the north is sort of like 50 50 maybe like 51 49 something that's why if they talk about having a referendum that's why it would be so contentious because there would still be a lot of people who just you just don't have many irish protestants here in new york city no no irish here i've never met one southern i've never met an irish protestant yeah yeah and that's the way it should be in ireland yeah do they have an irish protestant bar anywhere in new york or a protestant bar no i don't think they wouldn't right they would just maybe if they were that into it and maybe if they hated ireland that much they would just go to like an english bar that's so they identify with the english yeah yeah yeah maybe i mean i get it is that what is most of the conflict that then is it more about like the loyalty to the crown versus not because that's what it just seems weird because you both love jesus yeah it's like do you see yourself as british or irish right that's kind of what it is that's what it is more and this is i loosely understand again not having an in-depth knowledge but i get how much of an right wasn't it like the protestants sided with the english but the english you know had ruled ireland for many years and not been nice to them they weren't that nice to them all the time so the huge understanding right right yeah so the southern so the southern irish the catholics were like no we're rebelling against them why you it would be like the loyalists versus the patriots right you know like in the american revolutionary war like we would be patriots probably we were we're okay with the seceding from england but the lawyers are like no these are this is our dad yeah but that's kind of what it comes down to a little bit but also it's wild because originally they would speak in like another language and like the the people in ireland well there's there's the irish language which is still spoken by a lot of people but it like where any of that no like some some greetings yeah because the word english is because of the english conquering ireland and scotland like when when england kind of like are you a prc huh are you a prc t no uh i'm i'm neither i have no you're not a brought up without i'm 100 jewish uh no brought up with uh neither one no religion in the house that's nice i like no i have no dog in the fight is that very common in in belfast to people speak you know what yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean for like say i'm doing like a corporate and the people booking it or like a big into one religion i will be that for the show right you know i'm more than willing to be religious fluid so then what do you think so what so where do you think you're going when you die like what do you do you get like when you jerk off do you feel bad about it can you wife get abortion it's like where we stand on the issues here where i i i when i where i go with i uh i i don't know i'm not i'm not in you don't know where you're not when you die you don't know you're like i want to be in a mushroom suit right got it you know got it just throw me into the garden or whatever that's interesting because no dog in the fight no religion you kind of live life differently by different rules yeah you don't have guilt then yeah you don't suffer from that and I can be yeah there's like people when I'm in America always want to talk to me about say if I'm in a bar or something I'll be like I've been to Belfast like last time I was here a guy's like is it still tribal politics there and I don't really know what that word means so I was like right answering it by not answering it yeah and I was like you tell me he's like you live there you tell me and the best way I can describe it is like we have two sort of main parties kind of like everywhere but they're never on the same page so even now like in Northern Ireland you've got like say the British party they're called the DUP they see themselves as British Sinn Féin like the Irish party they see themselves as Irish and the way it works is it is so tribal that if like one side picks an opinion on something by default the other side has to go the opposite got it but it's got to the point like I think about 15 years ago there was a referendum on gay marriage because it was like way behind the times where I live and then the DUP the sort of British party they came out and they were like there'll be no referendum like it's against the Bible and then because the rules are the rules by default the other side they had to just like be so horny for it like they loved it just because the other side yeah they were like loving it you know they had to come out and be like let's you know they were twerking even though they probably wouldn't be yeah yeah but they were like they were well into it like yeah it's such an interesting place because it's just these were all like these were all like you know tribes they were all like Germanic tribes right and then like the British just turned into a big country and started conquering everybody so it was a the Celts originally up there yeah yeah yeah the Celts right Celtic you would say like Ireland and Scotland yeah kind of that alliance that little tribe and then the British just came and kind of civilized the Celts the fucking maybe the British did some good but listen the British we gotta like talk more about you can't say that because that's tough how that how that little island just was able to do so much damage yeah those little fuckers what do you mean the Brits the Brits they conquered everyone little island in the middle of the sea yeah they were good killing machines they did it with the most class of anyone nice red coat with their little little wigs yes they did it classy like they didn't come in and go like the Vikings like oh right we're gonna the Brits came in you know all dressed little tea that would be demoralizing to get fucked by the guys with the little wigs yeah you must have looked at them coming in the distance you're like we'll fuck them up yeah but they were good murder murder murder yeah it was very classy and you guys were like we're fucking Irish and they're like stop drinking so much kill him kill him kill him the Vikings fucked us up bad though yes we got got so bad by the Vikings everybody how are you gonna beat a Viking nah did you imagine we're so open as well we're just like a big island floating in the middle of the sea yeah Irish kids so tough they're hard to go down you fight an Irish kid the kid just doesn't go down yeah right I don't know why is it because of booze or is it because of Catholicism and guilt probably the booze the booze you're not feeling it Irish women have nice big fat asses they got no fumes either they don't have any fumes no they don't I can't wait I'm going home tonight I can't wait to tell the lady we got Irish fumes we got Irish girls we believe are fumeless Giannis' theory is if you have red hair or any of that any red hair in your DNA you cannot possibly have fumes that's his that's his feeling on it all yeah it's his scientific evidence or if you look at this area right here under the ear now who is this one she's black Irish she's Irish Miss Ireland Funagwela O'Reilly how do you say that Funula Funula yeah Funula O'Reilly that was great thank you Funula O'Reilly I went to school with a girl named Funula do you want to have a go with that G-R-A-I-N-N-E what would that name be show me again it's way over to the left G-R-A-I-N-N-E second I would say Miss Ireland Grainy Gallinger Grainy Gallina Grain Grine how do you say Graña Graña I mean Graña is a fucking piece yeah she is a piece yeah she has no fumes absolutely zero fumes the women in Ireland are beautiful right of course and because we're like we just have the sea around us and we're not like we're not landlocked at all the fumes are getting blown away blown into the sea yeah yeah yeah no they really are the girls in Ireland are beautiful yeah the Lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything even our music that hit song named after the color

just you're raising them neither Catholic or Protestant no no no no now do you cuz the thing is in Ireland and these in these countries you know is it all about like being bigger better getting the most money is that how your mind is cuz in America this is how it is it's like if you're not fucking crushing it every year we like start to feel like losers oh no we're the opposite so like in America if you do something like an achievement you say it and people love it people lose their minds like amazing or whatever in Ireland that's not an option like you can't do that you can't pick yourself up you have to be humble it's a thing about don't get above your station right you know but like what about like even like you know fame and fortune and all that these are not big goals in Ireland no no no like I would never like America is obviously like the comedy capital of the world and like when I come to New York or Austin or LA it's incredible but I love it as a novelty like I could probably I've got my visa so I could probably like spend time here and try and move on up through the ranks but you could never pay me to leave where I live cuz you like cuz you like the idea of like you just you like you do well enough there you always need more more about having fun there and like enjoying it and like yeah and like everywhere has its issues but I feel like it's overall pretty calm place like we're talking about the religious division that's over that's way better it still lingers a bit but it's way better than it was I remember in Belfast one of the guys who was running I think I was doing it was the when I went in there in 2023 what the hell was the name of that room the something oh you did the limelight the limelight yeah when I did the limelight I remember the guy one of the guys running it I did one show and I was I was like oh man it would have been great to add two he was like why he was like you go to dinner after this and you'll enjoy your time here and I was like oh like he just said that simply as if to say why are you always trying to go after the money because it's an American thing do two shows make the money because you'd already made four grand that makes you like the third richest man in Ireland why not just go and enjoy dinner yeah because I think that's why you were buying all the properties seriously yeah I went to fucking shout out Dean's Meat Locker oh yeah shout out Dean's Meat Locker which was awesome and that place was great and that's actually my name on Grindr now but dude it was very eye opening to me because he suddenly said it and I was like huh this American idea of like more more need more need to live in a gated fucking mansion it's like that's just American shit you will free yourself from that if you don't think like that like the wealthiest comedians in Ireland do well enough you don't have to have seven Ferraris over there that's smart see that's a freeing way to live oh they're not the only country that lives that way either it's the same in Scandinavia it's the same everywhere I mean we're just a new well the thing is Americans we came here to loot our ancestors came here to loot imagine the personality of the person who left their comfort of their home with their relatives all our grandparents they're greedy little bastards they were that didn't like their families and they're like we're gonna go over here and get as much shit as we can because we're fucking assholes that's what it is even like some like there's some cool people who've come from Ireland to hear Hercules Mulligan I was big into who's Hercules Mulligan he was part of the American Revolution he's like in Hamilton he was like a real guy left a place called Coleraine in Northern Ireland to come over to America and he was he was he was a tailor so during the American Revolution he would be measuring up the like the Americans like all the generals and stuff and then he was like doing a little bit of eerie wigging in the conversation I think maybe when he would maybe suck the dick I don't know what he did but he was getting the information and he was bringing it back to the founding fathers and then that helped because he intercepted some they were going to do some battle or whatever some attack and he intercepted a fellow and he's like see that's fun I never heard about that yeah yeah Hercules Mulligan Hercules Mulligan that's a good hyenas episode deep dive so yeah because it is I do like being around that energy because you know like Giannis you have European you have a European brain inside of America in an American body your brain is more European you're very good at living you always preach you're always you're always talking about hey I think it's more from experience but it's just but it's smart it's smart because I don't have that sometimes and I'm like you know why do I feel all this pressure and stress like well why do you fucking why do you need everything just calm the fuck down part of being from Ireland living in Ireland is you just sit down sometimes and you do nothing I can see like here everything is like a mile a minute that would be laziness here talking about things where it's like sometimes we just sit down and we just relax yeah what's your that's nice what have you like picked up about Americans What do you see? How would you explain? If you were talking to your buddies back home, what are we like? Tell us the good news. The good and the bad and the ugly. Just be careful that we have guns in here. So enthusiastic about everything. Yeah. Like everything at all is enthusiastic. You guys get behind everything. And I actually love coming over here. I've been coming over here for shows for seven years or whatever. And I know there's big issues, but I actually find New York's so wild. But the first time I came to New York, I got off the subway and the first person we spoke to, we were on like a family trip. A homeless guy said the sentence, put your dick in my mouth and we'll see who's gay. And I didn't have time to work out the science behind that. I was like, I don't know whether this is a trick or not. It's true. A kid went to Catholic school. That's just a Catholic school trick that we do. Yeah. So I'll see stuff here that I would never see back home. But then also when you kind of go to different cities and places where it's more like laid back and you get maybe a sense of more real America, people are really hospitable and really friendly. When I was in Austin, Texas and San Diego, especially the West Coast, people are very, very friendly. That's a misconception that people say Americans are rude. New Yorkers are rude. When you get the rude people, it's really rude. It's really rude. Also, when I say someone holds a door open for me or I hold a door open for someone and I say thank you and they say, mm-hmm, that's rude. That's rude. That is rude. But they don't mean it like that, but we would just see that as rude. Yeah. So in Ireland, what would you do? You hold the door and you're like, thank you. You give a hug, a little kiss. Yeah, suck a cock. Round the back, all that kind of stuff. And then the downside is, like you say, things move too fast. And there's like the homeless situation. Obviously, there's homeless people in Ireland, but it's not as big. I feel like we. What would you do differently than us? Why is our homeless? Why is our homeless like that and yours isn't? Are you helping them more? I feel like there's way more. And there probably is this in America, but I obviously don't say it because I don't live here. But I feel like there's more. Like, I see more shelters. I see more outreach. You see more. You're not lighting them on fire. Exactly. You have to light a few on fire just to send a message to the rest of. It's all it is. Right, right, right. It's like you light one on fire. Yeah, and the guns. I can't talk shit about the guns thing because we have them. Yeah. You have guns in Ireland? Yeah, you're not allowed, but like people will have them. Yeah. Everyone's uncle has a gun. But no shootings. No, I think it's like. Other than the troubles. I think it's like the alcohol thing. You know, it's like, you know, it's crazy. Everyone's doing it all the time here. We don't do it that often, but when we do. You go big. They do it. Right. We haven't had a school shooting in a while, by the way. I'm sure they just maybe not on the news. Yeah. I think you could go. By the way, the craziest sentence of all time. Yeah, school shooting. You're like, what do you think of America? You're like, we haven't had a school shooting in four days. It's really. Yeah, three months, baby. Fuck yeah. You know you've just jinxed it, though. Yeah, I know. This is interesting, though. So, Hercules Mulligan, his information directly saved George Washington's life on at least two occasions by warning him of assassination attempts and troop movements. So, the kid was very important. Yeah, the Culper Ring, that was the spy network he was in. That was a big one, yeah. He was a member of the Sons of Liberty. Yes. Wow. The Culper Ring, we could go see that. That's in Long Island. We should take a nice trip out to Setucket one day. That would be nice. But, you know, that's interesting. That's how much the Irish hate the British, that he probably came here just to help us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the Irish didn't even have a dog in the fight, really. No. But they're like, we hate the British so much, we're going to send dudes to come help these Americans because we hate those records. This guy's going on a three-year boat ride. Yeah. He's going to lose a leg on the way over. Yeah. But he was like, yeah, he was a close friend of Alexander Hamilton, which you know for a fact, like, Alexander Hamilton loved all the information he was getting, but he didn't understand it. Yeah. And he was telling him he couldn't understand it. He's like, right at the time, right at the time. They're fucking coming. He's like, you know, I'm fucking, what are you doing? What's going on? What's your charge? What are you doing? Fucking come over there and look at us. Like, I can't understand you, bro. Slow it down. Yeah. No, yeah. Because the pikeys speak like that, right? The traveling dudes? So, yeah, it's like, typically that's a thick, like, because my accent isn't that thick. They don't like being called pikeys. No, no, no, no. So I just insult them. You just did a slur. It's okay. You're safe in the confines of the United States. They can't hurt you here. Yeah, they don't have passports, those guys. They can't get in, right? I've met a few. Oh, yeah. But they're the sort of guys you meet when you're here that are Irish. And I'm like, how long are you visiting for, guys? Like, I came here 18 years ago. Do you go home often? He's like, I can't. Right. You know? They're here. Legal issues, yeah. They're here. So what do they like being called, then? They like to be called the traveler. They like being called the traveler? Yeah, yeah. And so they just, they don't have, like, houses. They move. Well, they. So I'm a traveler. Some do. You would say, I'm a traveler. I've moved nine times in nine years. Yeah. That is wild. You're a runaway slave. You're a traveler. Yeah. And I got my gypsy family. Yeah. So you would. Yeah, you're like Romy. Yeah. A lot of the guys now would be, like, they're settled travelers. Yeah. So sometimes they get offered, like, housing. But sometimes, typically, they'll, like, they will go into a house and not like it. Yeah. You know, they'll be like, no, I would just rather be, like, moving around or be in the caravan or whatever. Now, why. Who are they? Are they Irish, indigenously? Like, who. There's a huge Irish traveler population. There's a lot of travelers in England. And there's different kinds, as well. And there's, like. And how did they come about? Yeah. How did this happen? I actually don't know. I know. I imagine they started as Romany gypsies, although maybe I don't want to get that wrong. But, like, yeah, this is. It's a big European thing, but loads of Irish travelers. There's a lot of Irish travelers in England. Yeah. Tyson Fury's family. Yes. Travelers. Irish travelers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where they fight from. Now, as far as the bare-knuckle fighting in Ireland. Yeah, yeah. That's fun. Those are fun videos to watch. Yeah. Stephen! The call-out videos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna fucking comment for you. Yeah. I did a boxing session with a friend of the Paul and Sergio Chacon. Sergio Chacon! Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was supposed to come on today. As a matter of fact, we canceled him because we had you. Yeah. But there you go. Yeah, Sergio. You ever watch those videos, though? It's, like, family. They have, like, family feuds. Paul-like videos. And they make, like. They actually make, like. They cut promos. Right. So. And it's, like, this whole underworld of bare-knuckle boxing, and it's all family rivalries and, like, real Irish shit. Yeah, like. I just want to say that Jesse Spellknuckle, N-U-C-K-L-E, which also sounds like a slur. Yeah. So what they do is. These are, like. A lot of these guys are old boys. They're, like, in their 60s. Right. They beat the fuck out of each other in a car park, and then they shake hands. Yeah, and then they love each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Tyson Fury's family, not Tyson Fury. No, no, no. I think people in his family have maybe done. But Tyson Fury will probably bare-knuckle fight you, too. I'm sure he would. Yo, you beat Aiden! Fucking Aiden, you beat my brother! Yeah. So, fucking, I'm coming in a parking lot, and I'm gonna fucking beat you! Look at this fucker. Holy shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That guy is jacked! Yeah. They get paid no money, but they train for this. It's your family's honor. It's family's honor. It's like samurai shit. Yeah. Yeah. And then they shake hands after, and that's it. It's like playing free country in the Olympics. Yeah. There's a movie there called Knuckle. It's all about this. It's unbelievable. Knuckle. Is it a documentary? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. I mean, this guy, I would not ever want to fight that guy. No, no, no, no. If I come home, and that guy's fucking my wife, then he just has my family, and I just walk away. Yeah. But this is how you see everyone around the world. Has fucking holes in their roof. Like, these guys- Leaky roof. So, this guy, like, so what they'll do, the families will fight, whatever. The guy will train. Yeah. So, I'll be like, what are you doing? You're training. He's training. He's like, are you getting paid? No, no. It's a family dispute. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they'll train, and they'll fight each other. How long do they train? Like, they- Their whole lives. Their whole lives. And they agree to it, right? Like, we're going to fight on this date. It's like old family rivalries, but they do those call-outs, and they're like, I'll see you 7 a.m. in this car park, or whatever, and then it's done. And you have to go to defend your family's honor. Yeah. Yeah, it's just- And is it technically illegal in Ireland? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They just find a way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Irish travelers. Just get it done, like- Yeah, I mean, Irish travelers have a population of around 40,000, so they are considered an ethnic minority. I mean, this kid's Franks and Beans and got a leaky roof. The kid with the hat on. Oh, yeah. See, because our weather's that bad, once you have a leaky roof, we can't patch it up. Yeah. We can't get in. I mean, all these kids have leaky roofs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These kids. That's why we wear flat caps. Yeah. To patch it up. Yeah. The rain still gets through. Yeah. I mean, look at these kids. These kids look Franks. I mean, maybe the kid's name is Giggsie. Yeah. The thing is, though, they take this so seriously- Knack, knack. They take this so seriously that when I land, like, back in Dublin, they're going to be waiting after this is out. I got to fight these guys. They do, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They take it really- So I shouldn't have said- Me and Sergio are going to have to fight these guys. Fight these guys. Well, if we ever go on tour in Ireland, these guys will come to the show. They have a long memory. Yeah. Listen, O'Hanlon family, I'm Giannis Papas. Oh, no. You said something. I'm saying it right here on the podcast. Meet me at fucking Dublin's pub and we'll fucking settle it. Yeah. You're fucking pikey. They'll settle it. They'll settle it. They'll settle it. I'm just kidding. I'm just joking. Here, and O'Hanlon family, if you need a fluffer for that fight, I'm your guy. Yeah, well, let me tell you. Yeah. My friend Chris said your whole family's pussy. Yeah. And you're probably- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're a Protestant. Boys, there will be people who will pay you now to come over for a show. We're just joking, guys. We're just joking. I do not want any problems with any Albanians, fucking pikeys. I mean, travelers. Yeah. I don't want any problems. You don't want no problems? I want no problems. I love travelers. Speaking of travelers, Shane's got to go. Yeah. Now, what airline are you flying home? Aer Lingus, baby. Oh, I fucking love Aer Lingus. I don't go with a lot of the American airlines because I did Southwest and the boys are just wearing their own clothes. Yeah. Like, even the pilot. It's no good. But Aer Lingus now, because you're just Irish royalty, they bump you up to first class, so you just buy first class ticket going home. What's your rule? I tried, and they've said, they said, listen, get into that lounge. No problem. But then I don't like the lounge because I like to go to American eateries, like a Shake Shack.
