Key Discussion Points & Segments

1. The Hurling Match – "The 101 Pick"

[03:27–14:40]

• Hurling as Top Experience:
  Danny Heifetz takes "hurling" as the first pick:

  “Number one is hurling. Hurling was one of the best things I've ever done.” (03:27 – Heifetz)

• Enthusiasm & Ignorance: None of the guys had seen hurling before but instantly fell in love. Locals (including a former coach and supportive fans) taught them the basics.
• Intensity: They are awestruck by the physicality and skill, likening it to combining “field hockey, lacrosse, rugby, and a home run derby” (07:05).
• Key Moments:
  • Learning the intricate rules from Irish fans and children.
  • The ref yelling at the crowd, the scoreboard fiasco, players banged up but still going.
  • Trying the hurley on the pitch:

    “At the end they let us go out...and take a few thwacks or whatever you want to call it. We did thwack. I hit one right through the upright in my first try.” (12:00 – Heifetz)

• Joy of Travel:

  “It was like the epitome of traveling and why you go abroad... you spend six hours at a thing you’ve never heard of, and by the beginning you're like ‘haha,’ and at the end, you’re all-in.” (11:06 – Heifetz)

---

2. The Kindness of the Irish People

[15:58–19:22]

• Danny Kelly’s “really earnest” pick:

  “The people are so nice. The nicest people I think I've ever met in any country.” (15:59 – Kelly)

• Every taxi driver and local was thoughtful, eager to recommend places, genuinely interested in the NFL game, and excited for the American influx.
• Discussion with their producer, Mark:

  "The way he put it was like, ‘you guys are coming here, and we're getting in on your thing, which is really cool.’” (17:25 – Horlbeck)

• Locals found it cool that the NFL brought a unique American event to town, as opposed to tourists overtaking Irish tradition.

---

3. Irish Pubs – Culture, Simplicity, and Vibes

[19:27–24:23 & 47:58–52:05]

• Variety & Architecture:
  Craig drafts the pubs:

  “It was really cool because we saw a different spectrum... one's made of wood, massive, with different floors. Others are just classic.” (19:48)

• Snugs & Social Rituals: Fascination with pub “snugs” (tiny, semi-private nooks), and the ritual of enjoying just Guinness—“monoculture drinks.”
• Music & Atmosphere: Shout-outs to Long Haul (Springsteen’s alleged favorite), Kehoe’s, and Kennedy’s; highlighting how some pubs don’t play music, just conversation.
• Efficient Ordering: Praise for no-tipping, contactless pay, and streamlined ordering:

  “You never realize how much they’re just cranking people out.” (23:10 – Heifetz)

• Monoculture Drinks:

  “I love monoculture drinks...everyone’s drinking the same thing, it's communal.” (24:00 – Kelly)

---

4. The Steelers Take Over Dublin

[32:24–36:36]

• Craig’s pick: The “Steelers Buzz.” The city was dominated by Steelers fans, tied to the Rooney family’s Irish roots.

  “I have seen less than 10 Vikings fans my entire plane. With Steelers, it says that they said 30% of the crowd today is projected to be Americans...” (32:55 – Heifetz)

• Locals “tickled” by the NFL presence; the city felt like it was hosting a mini–Super Bowl in atmosphere.
• Discussion on why American football seems complex and strange to locals:

  “The hurling kids...asked about football. They're like, 'yeah, we tried, but it's so complicated.'” (35:31 – Heifetz)

---

5. The Glory of the Spice Bag

[36:44–39:40]

• Danny Heifetz raves about the “spice bag”—the greatest drunk food, only found in Dublin’s Chinese takeaways.

  “It is basically the simplest perfect idea ever. It is a bag of french fries and chicken nuggets...with a bunch of Chinese spices in it and shaken up. And it’s just drunk food.” (37:44 – Heifetz)

• Their entrepreneurial aspirations:

  “I actually have never come across an idea in any trip...so surprised this doesn’t exist anywhere.” (37:03 – Heifetz)

• All agree it’s a top-five drunk food of all time.

---

6. Dublin Taxi Drivers: Characters and City Guides

[39:48–47:14]

• The hosts are obsessed with Dublin’s cab drivers, painting them as hilarious, knowledgeable, and central to the Dublin experience:

  “Taxi drivers are so great...so skilled, so much safer, they know everywhere.” (42:04 – Heifetz)

• The technology tangent: Heifetz laments that U.S. ride-hailing apps undermined the profession and lost the “character” of city taxi culture:

  “In retrospect, so obvious: the technology and the app should have just been for taxi drivers...” (44:59 – Heifetz)

• Hilarity over Irish slang—“gobshite,” “craic”—and enduring confusion about their meanings.
• The thrill and terror of riding on the “wrong side” of the road, with aggressive (but confident) drivers.

---

7. Umbrella Revelation

[28:37–30:49]

• Craig and Kelly praise the feeling of carrying an umbrella (“a modern scepter”), feeling like main characters:

  “Having them closed and just kind of by your side is the coolest accessory a man can have.” (29:04 – Kelly) “I kind of just feel like the main character with an umbrella.” (29:26 – Kelly)

• Debate whether using an umbrella is “cool” or marks you as a tourist.

---

8. Guinness, Murphy’s, and Generous Mouthfuls

[47:58–52:05]

• Guinness is its own draft pick—creamier, colder, and “tastes different here.”
• Hilarious Guinness factory tour moment:

  “You need to take big, generous mouthfuls.” (49:40 – Guinness tour staff, parodied repeatedly)

• Learning Guinness isn’t black, but actually “ruby red.”
• Local beer culture compared to monoculture drinks back home.

---

9. Irish Names, Slang, and Accents

[53:40–55:07]

• The group delights in Irish names (“Aoife,” “Padraig,” “Geráld”) and the charming accents, both as an enduring fascination and a running joke:

  “Every Irish person you talk to has an Irish accent. It never gets old...” (55:04 – Heifetz)

• More amusement at Irish slang like “banjaxed,” “gobshite,” and the local banter.

---

10. Honorable Mentions & Miscellany

• Trinity College & Book of Kells: The awe at medieval craftsmanship (“1185 calf skins to make this book!” – 57:47).
• Springsteen’s Favorite Pub: Springsteen’s supposed bottle of whiskey at the Long Haul.
• Missed Attractions: Regrets about not making it to Ireland’s megalithic tombs and realizing there’s so much more to see in Ireland.
• Live Folk Music in Pubs: Spontaneous joy at local music and communal pub vibes (67:10).
• Celebrity Sightings: Tales of Obama waving from a van, rumors of Bill Murray in Dingle, and myriad Steelers-adjacent stories.
• Travel Advice: Wise words on travel making the world feel larger, not smaller.

---

  “It really is like Quidditch without flying. If it was a home run derby.” (07:08 – Heifetz)

• On Irish Hospitality:

Final Takeaway

This episode is less about fantasy football, more an exuberant travelogue: a love letter to Ireland’s sports, pubs, people, and pleasures. It’s a lively, irreverent guide to what makes Dublin great, best enjoyed with friends—and maybe a spice bag and a big, generous mouthful of Guinness.

Transcript

[Danny Heifetz]

This episode is supported by FX's the Lowdown, starring Ethan Hawke. Allow us to introduce you to Lee Raybon, a quirky journalist, rare bookstore owner, unofficial truth seeker who is always on the tail of his latest conspiracy. This time, his most recent expose puts him head to head with a powerful family that rules Tulsa. Meaning only one thing. He must be onto something big. FX is the Lowdown. All new Tuesdays on FX stream on Hulu. This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad. Real United Airlines customers. We were returning home and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Captain Andrew.

[Danny Kelly]

I got to sit in the driver's seat. I grew up in an aviation family.

[Craig Rollback]

And seeing Bronx kind of reminded me.

[Danny Heifetz]

Of myself when I was that age. That's Andrew, a real United pilot.

[Craig Rollback]

These small interactions can shape a kid's future.

[Danny Heifetz]

It felt like I was the captain. Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever.

[Craig Rollback]

That's how good leads the way.

[Danny Heifetz]

Welcome to the Ringer fantasy football show. My name is Danny Heifetz, and I'm joined in person in Dublin still by Danny Kelly and Craig Rollback. We are recording this Sunday morning because, honestly, there was so much we wanted to talk about about Ireland that we couldn't fit it all into the Sunday episode.

[Danny Kelly]

So it would have been funny if we were just still in Ireland.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, we just hadn't left.

[Danny Kelly]

We just didn't leave. So we're staying.

[Craig Rollback]

Well, that was what Bill was saying at one point when he found out we were going to Ireland. He's like, what's the over under on you guys staying? One and a half, two and a half.

[Danny Heifetz]

So every Wednesday, we power rank something and we're going to power the things we loved about Dublin because we really couldn't fit it in the Sunday show. So we're going to just go through everything we loved about this country because this trip was honestly pretty amazing. Yeah, still is. I mean, we're still here. We haven't gone to the game yet.

[Craig Rollback]

It's not even over. Yeah, this is going to be. Yeah, this is going to be the big Ireland debrief that we didn't get to on the ends of the other shows. We just want to do it justice.

[Danny Heifetz]

So after this, it's gonna be regular scheduled programming. We'll have Sunday night shows, Monday waivers again, and, you know, Wednesday power hours about other things than just going to Ireland and the Friday previews and everything.

[Danny Kelly]

But for right now, I don't know, maybe all of our Power hours will just be about Ireland.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, maybe all of them. All right, we're gonna take a quick break and then. Yeah, Ireland talk, baby. Let's do Ireland. Let's do the power hour. Honestly, I don't think we're going to power rank it. I think we should draft. I think we should draft our favorite things from butchering.

[Craig Rollback]

I know the format, but that's.

[Danny Heifetz]

We could rank it, but I don't want to know what you guys have.

[Craig Rollback]

We told each other we didn't share it with these.

[Danny Heifetz]

With each other, so. Yeah. So I think we're going to draft things we loved about Ireland. I think I should get the first pick because I won the splitting the G at the Guinness factory, which feels like the we said we would power, right?

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah. I feel like I didn't win a single split of the G. You didn't do it, right? I was, but I don't know.

[Danny Heifetz]

I don't have a better system for who should get the first pick.

[Danny Kelly]

Is it blasphemy to split the G in the Guinness factory or is that fine?

[Danny Heifetz]

What? No, it's their whole thing.

[Craig Rollback]

I don't think it's blasphemy.

[Danny Kelly]

Okay.

[Craig Rollback]

I mean, well, I don't know.

[Danny Heifetz]

How is it blasphemy?

[Craig Rollback]

We're stupid Americans. How would we know?

[Danny Kelly]

I don't know. I, I, I got one dm like, oh, don't split the G in the Guinness factory. And I was like, oh, is that, Is that, like, a little touristy of us? I don't know.

[Craig Rollback]

100%, but it's a Guinness factory. Factory is the most touristy thing.

[Danny Heifetz]

Literally a tourist attraction.

[Danny Kelly]

I'm telling you. Just telling you what I got.

[Danny Heifetz]

All right, fine. Now I feel weird taking the first pick. Who wants to go first?

[Danny Kelly]

No, go ahead.

[Danny Heifetz]

Fine, I'll take the first pick. All right, we're going to draft. Just drafting things we loved about Dublin. Yeah, Drafting we loved in Dublin.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

I, I, Number one is hurling. Hurling was one of the best things I've ever done.

[Craig Rollback]

Keep in mind, we haven't gone to the actual game yet, for the record.

[Danny Kelly]

True.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

We haven't gone to the game. Right. But hurling's better than. There's no chance Taylor's Vikings will be better than the Hurley Bach went to yesterday. Correct. Hurling.

[Danny Kelly]

So we saw Vincent's versus Bally Bowden was the second game we saw.

[Craig Rollback]

That was a banger.

[Danny Heifetz]

If you didn't. So if you don't follow us on Instagram, I'm not gonna lie. The Instagram story is really Fun. We'll pin it to. We've probably pinned it to the Instagram right now. And you can watch the story, but we were told. And shout out to the people who told us to go to hurling. We literally.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, we got an email about that. And Hyphos was like.

[Danny Heifetz]

Irish thing we could possibly do is go to a hurling match on Saturday.

[Danny Kelly]

Last second decision by us.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yes. And it was actually one of the most fun things. We literally knew nothing about her.

[Craig Rollback]

It was so classic, too, because we just get out of the cab at the hurling match, and there's a. Like, one of the coaches from the team from, like, 10 years ago just.

[Danny Kelly]

Standing there, was like, a parking attendant.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Who, as we got out of the car, he was like, oh, you're in front of royalty here. Like, this is like, look who you got.

[Danny Heifetz]

The guy's like, ah, no, no. And I'm like, the way you would do it if you were a big deal.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Like, it was. And the guy. So we just walk in with literally the former hurling coach.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

And we're just like, so what's hurling? Y. And he's like, it's the fastest sport in the world is what they call it.

[Craig Rollback]

World.

[Danny Kelly]

He had his son who had the little hurl.

[Danny Heifetz]

Hurl hurley or stick, depending on the part of the country.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah. And the ball, which is a. I think.

[Danny Heifetz]

Oh, I left it at the hotel.

[Craig Rollback]

I think it's a ball.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's a ball. I don't know.

[Danny Kelly]

Remember, they were telling us, it's like a baseball.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's a slither slit. A slitter. Yeah, slitter.

[Craig Rollback]

It's S L I O T A r. Yeah, yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Because we sat next, there was like an. Like, a older Irish woman sitting behind us who told me a lot about how to say slitter.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

And then their family. And then they taught us a lot about hurling. I'm hurling. We literally went from. It was kind of a bit. The first game kind of sucked.

[Danny Kelly]

Yes.

[Danny Heifetz]

The second game was. By the middle of the second game, Craig's like, the scoreboard's wrong. They got it wrong.

[Danny Kelly]

They actually did. They were scoring it incorrectly, and they ended up getting it right after, like, 10 minutes. It was. I've never seen that before.

[Craig Rollback]

The ref came over and was like, you guys need to get this sorted asap. He was like, screaming at the side.

[Danny Kelly]

The players are yelling at me. I'm yell that.

[Danny Heifetz]

Left, right, center.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Get this fixed immediately.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

But they didn't stop play. And I was like, why not? And they were the people behind us. It was kind of like the vibe behind people behind us was like, coach Beard and Ted Lasso. I was like, why don't they stop play? I was like, they just don't do that. And they're like, why not? They don't usually have a school that.

[Craig Rollback]

The other thing is, they had. If a guy got hurt, you'd have the. The medic guy come out, and he was, like, tending to them. And then they just, like, playing while the person's hurt.

[Danny Kelly]

Also, people behind us, we were like, is that normal for the medic to be out there kind of while the game's going on? And he's like, if he's just cramping, yeah, it's no big deal.

[Craig Rollback]

It's not like an actual injury, right? Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

If it's not in the thick of it. And I was like, well, he's like, 10 yards away. That's crazy. It was. Oh, my God. There was a point. A guy just goes down in agony, and the fans are screaming, and he's.

[Danny Kelly]

Like, he's got it.

[Danny Heifetz]

He's hurt his hand. He's hurt his hand. The ref turns to the crowd, and he's like, he's not on his hand. He's holding his balls. They just. They wouldn't stop playing for the guy. The whole thing. We.

[Craig Rollback]

We like a sassy ref that yells.

[Danny Heifetz]

At the crowd, oh, my God.

[Danny Kelly]

Thank God we stayed for the second game because the first game was pretty boring. It was a blowout. We debated leaving, and then that coach, who kind of looked like a young Doug Collins, was tell. He was like, oh, the second game's going to be way better, are way more evenly matched.

[Danny Heifetz]

So it really is kind of like field hockey with aspects of lacrosse, lacrosse, soccer. And then I say, those are the.

[Craig Rollback]

Big three, like rugby. There's, like, scrums.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's honestly, rooks, Rooks, Rooks.

[Craig Rollback]

Okay.

[Danny Heifetz]

But honestly, it really is like Quidditch without flying. If it was a home run derby.

[Danny Kelly]

You got to give it to me that I pointed that out. Having never seen Harry Potter, I was like, this is Quidditch, right?

[Danny Heifetz]

This was. I thought someone told me.

[Danny Kelly]

No, I didn't.

[Danny Heifetz]

I think Beck said it. And then you heard it and thought you came up with it.

[Danny Kelly]

Oh, I didn't hear anybody. Maybe.

[Danny Heifetz]

But either way, it really is like a home run derby in that it's just kind of popping up a baseball and just, like, hitting it through upright field goal and football.

[Craig Rollback]

That's what I was going to say is like, there was a lot of reasons this was really impressive, watching them play. It was a sport where I was like. Like when we were watching, I think I said to you probably like three or four times, like, man, I wish I had played this growing up.

[Danny Heifetz]

Amazing.

[Craig Rollback]

So fun.

[Danny Kelly]

Also completely amateur. These guys don't get paid.

[Craig Rollback]

Right.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's literally like a full contact home run derby almost. But you. It's kind of like it. Like a. Like a field day.

[Craig Rollback]

You have to carry the egg on the spoon.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah. You have to do. You have to do that.

[Craig Rollback]

They like, hold it on the hurl as they run. And then obviously guys are like.

[Danny Kelly]

It was remarkably physical.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah. Like, oh, yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

There was like shoulder checks.

[Danny Kelly]

Literally is like. There's no more physical sport maybe outside of rugby than hurling.

[Craig Rollback]

Right.

[Danny Heifetz]

But literally is like the egg thing. Well, if you could balance the egg across the entire field. But then people are like trying to slam into you while you're doing that. And then if you want to score, whacking you with. Yeah. People are hitting you with their sticks, like beaters and Quidditch and they're saying sticks.

[Danny Kelly]

But these are like thick wooden ores.

[Craig Rollback]

Right.

[Danny Heifetz]

Little. They're like little bats.

[Craig Rollback]

They're bats.

[Danny Kelly]

They're bats of wood.

[Craig Rollback]

Well, that was what I was going to say, though, is one of the most. Most impressive parts of watching this was watching them. They're basically taking a. They're like hitting like, hi, it's at a home run derby. But they're doing it on the run.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yes.

[Craig Rollback]

And how accurate they are from like hitting legitimately 50 yards out and like.

[Danny Kelly]

At an angle while covered by somebody just running. Their ability to get a shot off.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

While being guarded so closely was one of the more impressive things I've seen in any sport. Honestly, the skill level of these players was really high level.

[Danny Heifetz]

It was genuinely shocking about how easy, like, think about. I really. It's kind of like taking a baseball bat and a baseball and trying to imagine just staying on a football field and being like, can you just toss it up and just hit it through the upright?

[Danny Kelly]

It's kind of.

[Danny Heifetz]

Then it's like get hit. You're running from people while you're doing it.

[Danny Kelly]

It's basically lacrosse, but instead of like having a stick with a net where you could just like, you have to hit it like a baseball.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Which is ridiculous.

[Danny Heifetz]

Well, people are beating the crap out of you and they don't wear any pads. And the other way, the other thing that's amazing about it. I know we're just describing a sport we just saw, but the Other part of it is it has the elements of soccer in that when the. When they don't score pieces and things. Yeah. And then, like, the goalies the same way in soccer, they'll just like, clear the ball and they just boot it to the other side. Yeah, the version of that. Instead of, like, you know, trying to hit the ball in your chest or whatever in your first touch, they just catch it bare with their hands. They have no gloves, and they are.

[Craig Rollback]

Just 75, like, yards.

[Danny Heifetz]

It is like a post up in the NBA, except instead of an inbound, it's a soccer. They're hitting it literally socket 60, 70 yards. And to DeAndre Hopkins bare hand, a baseball from 70 yards away.

[Danny Kelly]

It's kind of the most important part of the game is basically if you can feel the ball out of the.

[Craig Rollback]

Air without letting it hit the ground.

[Danny Kelly]

Because you can't take the possess and you can't pick the ball up off the ground. You have to use the. The stick to get it off the ground, and then you can grab it with your hand.

[Danny Heifetz]

I had the best time.

[Danny Kelly]

And we should say the game. The game went to overtime. He was the team. We were rooting for Vincent. The people behind us were Vincent supporters. So we were kind of like, hopping on that bandwagon. They came back twice. They came back to barely squeeze into play for Vincent.

[Danny Heifetz]

There's a women's team, too, and she played for, like, I think, 10 years. And she undersold.

[Craig Rollback]

And how it was explained to us, obviously it might be different in different places, but it's like a neighborhood club parish.

[Danny Kelly]

But he said it's not by church.

[Craig Rollback]

Well, yeah, but that's like, in the parish, you're saying. In the county, it's my parish. In the city, it's like, he's like anywhere from like 3 kilometers, like, like diameter or whatever. And they're. They just draw the kids from that area and develop them through the years. It's really cool. And it can be anywhere from, like.

[Danny Kelly]

He said 18 years old to 30 years old. He's like, basically until you just can't play anymore. Which man, I seems like 25 years old. If you play that for three years, your body is.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, it's very physical.

[Danny Heifetz]

It was honestly stunning. Also, it was not to be all sappy, but I actually thought it was like the epitome of, like, traveling and why you go abroad and stuff. Just like, kind of went a little bit out of our comfort zone of, like, we're just gonna spend like, six hours of this thing. We've never heard of. And then by the beginning we were kind of like. It was a bit. We were like, haha.

[Craig Rollback]

It's like funny that we don't know what this.

[Danny Heifetz]

I genuinely thought it was when they roll the wheel of cheese down the hill and they do that race. I really thought that's what it was.

[Danny Kelly]

And I were going Moneyball. By the end, we were like trying to figure out advanced analytics way to. To improve the game. I got a couple ideas.

[Danny Heifetz]

We, we actually did that we could absolutely. Moneyball.

[Craig Rollback]

I think you in touch with the hurling organization.

[Danny Heifetz]

We're not kidding though. We actually like, we actually have thoughts.

[Danny Kelly]

I think we're. The Americans came in and watched hurling.

[Craig Rollback]

The Americans came in and watched one game and figured out two.

[Danny Kelly]

Two games.

[Craig Rollback]

Figured it out. Yeah, yeah. Not American. Not American of you.

[Danny Kelly]

We have thoughts of ways to, to be more efficient offensively.

[Craig Rollback]

Right, okay.

[Danny Heifetz]

All right. So I'm winning this also by the.

[Craig Rollback]

Way, at the end they let us go out the guy, the guys, the people behind us were very nice. They let us use their hurley or hurl and go out and take a few thwacks or whatever you want to call it.

[Danny Heifetz]

We did thwack. I hit one right through the upright in my first try.

[Danny Kelly]

Yep.

[Craig Rollback]

Had a couple whiffs. And there was like 15 children just gathered around staring at him. This is my nightmare.

[Danny Heifetz]

I was too confident because at the bachelor party where I pulled my hamstring, I did make great contact. We were just crushing, honestly, golf balls. The middle baseball bat, the best feeling ever. And I crushed a couple. And ironically, it's the best feeling ever. You can't hit anything further than that.

[Craig Rollback]

Oh, it sounds great.

[Danny Heifetz]

You can't hit anything further than a golf ball. The metal baseball bat.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

And I ironically made great contact, slowing down. And then so I was like, oh, I got this. So I was trying to hit really hard. Well, and then I just kept.

[Craig Rollback]

That's the other thing I wanted to bring up. Obviously we're talking about hurling this whole time, but it's so funny that we had this huge conversation about the hand placement and left handed versus right hand.

[Danny Heifetz]

Oh my God. It was exactly.

[Craig Rollback]

Because it's like the hockey thing where in hurling I think, I don't know 100% if this is like what everybody does. But the way that we were being taught was your dominant hand goes on the, the end of the bat.

[Danny Heifetz]

So the bottom of the bat, baseball, that thing reversed.

[Craig Rollback]

And it was also because when they were explaining it to us, they kept saying, your dominant hand goes on the top which was the. Actually the bottom. So of course it's like backwards. So it was very confused. But it's like when you watch it basically like my. Like if you're a right handed batter, your right hand would go under your left hand when you're supposed. When you're batting.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

On the bat.

[Danny Heifetz]

When you're holding your dominant hands on top. On a baseball bat. Right. And they wanted your.

[Danny Kelly]

That's how we.

[Craig Rollback]

You left hot in America at least. Right. Because we, we had this whole talk about like right handed versus left handed.

[Danny Heifetz]

But it's the same.

[Danny Kelly]

Normally hit because I throw lefty but I back.

[Danny Heifetz]

But it's the same principle as hockey and it goes back to the original reason. One of the people emailed us who made a great point about why you even end up hitting the way you do in hockey, which is in part it's because you carry the stick around most people, kids just hold the stick in their dominant hand and then you have to just be able to grip it and rip it really quickly. And that's kind of the reason I.

[Craig Rollback]

Was watching closely the way that they were kind of like using, you know like it's like stick handling or whatever. In hockey it's. And you obviously they use it to trap the. Trap, the whatever, slider, whatever you call it, slither, slitter. And they were using it to trap it and obviously like, you know like keep hold it to themselves or whatever. But they. Even when they're like playing they'll like hold it kind of in the middle and then they have such. It's like they're so dexterous with this thing. It's like crazy. It's like an extension of their hand.

[Danny Kelly]

We'll move on quick soon, I promise.

[Danny Heifetz]

But we can't get over her.

[Danny Kelly]

Also, they're switch hitters, every single one of them.

[Danny Heifetz]

Oh my God.

[Craig Rollback]

It's like both directions.

[Danny Kelly]

You can be running left or right and they can hit 50 yards through the upright.

[Danny Heifetz]

Incredibly, the game really represents. It's really like a three point line where. Which ironically is worth one point. But like if. And also we didn't describe if you hit it through the uprights of a field goal. It's a three points. But if you hit it underneath. There's a soccer net underneath the field.

[Danny Kelly]

No, if you hit it above, it's one point.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, well, sorry. Yeah, above it's one point. So the field goal is not worth three like football, it's worth one underneath. There's like a soccer goal underneath and that's worth Three if you get it past.

[Craig Rollback]

And those don't happen very often. There was, like, two or three.

[Danny Kelly]

There's a goalie there.

[Danny Heifetz]

This is where we're going to Money ball. They have to go for the goal. They have to. They keep taking the points. They have to go for the goal. Amazing sport. Shout out hurling.

[Craig Rollback]

An amazing experience. The people there were so nice.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah. Shout out to the coaches. Shout out to the people sat behind us and, oh, my God, I think we were.

[Craig Rollback]

And we were, like, the only Americans there. It was very much like. It felt like we were experiencing.

[Danny Heifetz]

And shout out to those kids. When I whiffed, didn't make fun of me. They actually encouraged me, which was actually.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, they were very nice.

[Danny Heifetz]

They gave me hope for the young generation. I kind of couldn't believe they didn't make fun of me. I mean, they were caught in their head.

[Danny Kelly]

Nice. They really wanted you to succeed.

[Danny Heifetz]

They really. And I didn't.

[Craig Rollback]

Kids in America would have been like, dicks.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah. Like, Ryder Cup.

[Craig Rollback]

They would have been, like, yelling at hyphens.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah. Just like Rory McAway, like, shut the fuck up.

[Danny Kelly]

It would have been like the stepbrothers, like, white dog shit situation.

[Danny Heifetz]

All right, so I got the 101. Who's going second here? Craig.

[Danny Kelly]

I'm gonna go really earnest.

[Craig Rollback]

Sure.

[Danny Kelly]

The people are so nice.

[Craig Rollback]

The most incredibly nice people you could imagine.

[Danny Kelly]

We've probably. Probably taken 10 taxis. And every taxi driver is nicer than the one before. They are so sweet. They gave us so many recommendations. Everybody at the hurling match, like, everybody was just so accommodating. So sweet. So happy about this weekend. Thought it was so cool that this is all happening. Like, I. A lot of times when you go to things like this where, like, there's just a bunch of tourism swarming a city for a weekend, it can be frustrating. And it, like, completely takes over and kind of like.

[Craig Rollback]

It's, like, annoying.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah. Just. It's super annoying. Well, that has not been the case. And everybody has been so nice. Told us, like, where to go, what to eat, what to do. The nicest people I think I've ever met in any country.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah. I was gonna say there was a guy, Mark, who did some production for us on in the show that we did at Kennedy's on Friday. What day was that? Friday.

[Danny Heifetz]

Shout out Rob again for letting us use Kennedy's.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Another guy who's weirdly nice and just really accommodating.

[Danny Kelly]

Man, they were so nice.

[Craig Rollback]

Dude. When we got there, they just brought us coffees and a Giant, like, plate of breakfast.

[Danny Kelly]

Like, immediately, like, they gave us hats.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, they gave us.

[Danny Kelly]

Which I didn't know at the time that's really what that was.

[Danny Heifetz]

Those hats we wore on Friday, we didn't buy those. They get. We didn't just be like, we're gonna go look like the flat.

[Craig Rollback]

We're not just, like, stereotypical.

[Danny Kelly]

I was worried. We need to communicate that they gave these to us.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

They handed us the hats, not to wear them. But anyway, Mark was saying, because I was asking him essentially the same thing. I'm like, is this just, like, so annoying? There's so many Americans here just clogging up the streets. The traffic was kind of bad or whatever.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

And he was like. He's like, you know, when people come in, a lot of Americans will come in for St. Patty's Day, and it's like, they're coming in and kind of, like, stepping on our thing and, like, trying to make it their own. But when, for this, the way he put it was like, you guys are coming here, and we're getting in on your thing, which is really cool. And he was saying that, like. And I was like, that sounds awesome. Like, it makes me feel so much better about, like, just the hordes and hordes of people that are walking around, and it's just like. And it's cool.

[Danny Kelly]

NFL diplomacy, baby.

[Danny Heifetz]

We're spreading.

[Craig Rollback]

Right?

[Danny Heifetz]

I could tell, though. No, genuinely, like, you hear it enough, obviously, there's a level. There's a veneer. It's kind of like the stripper thing, where it's like, you know, the. Oh, yeah, no. Is she in to me, or is this her job? And, like, there's a degree of. When you're a tourist, you deal with people who are, like, in the tourism industry, and they just want you to feel happy. But I will say, you do this over the weekend, and you talk to enough people who are, like, not in the tours, you actually can get the vibe of whether they were sick of this or not. Every. The locals really were just. They kind of just thought it was cool. There's an NFL game here, and they were amazed that somebody, like, yeah, it was there. What? They really did seem jazzed that there was a game here. They were kind of tickled by it. It's cool.

[Craig Rollback]

There's probably some people that are annoying, I'm sure.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

But, man, we have not seen those people.

[Craig Rollback]

They haven't talked to us.

[Danny Heifetz]

They haven't said anything. So I assume there's a lot of people, like, I.

[Craig Rollback]

You Know, we're, you know, high Fitz, he makes best friends with everybody.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

You know, so dude, even, even the.

[Danny Heifetz]

People in the WeWork or the We Work employees, we were like, we're here's the NFL game. And they're like, really? Like they thought it was cool we'd.

[Danny Kelly]

Be here at midnight. Like, of course. Let me help you. Do you know how many My phone number if you need help because it's the nicest people.

[Danny Heifetz]

Do you know how many people we have had to tell we are podcasters. They were the first people that ever thought that was cool. I've never heard anyone. I still anyone be impressed.

[Craig Rollback]

We might move here.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yes. No one's ever said that you're a podcaster. I was like.

[Craig Rollback]

You can do that for a job. Do that full time.

[Danny Heifetz]

Shout out. Tom. That was Jackie's uncle.

[Craig Rollback]

He's like, that's a job.

[Danny Heifetz]

He's like, should I pay you?

[Craig Rollback]

You get money for that or. Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Have you heard a spot of. He's like, no.

[Danny Kelly]

Okay. Third pick off the board.

[Craig Rollback]

Well, it's funny because these are literally my top two. I can just show you hurling match. Nice people, how nice.

[Danny Kelly]

Literally everyone has been.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah. I'm gonna go with the Irish pubs, obviously. That's like, you know, it's. It's a draw for Americans. We love that kind of.

[Danny Kelly]

I had that high.

[Danny Heifetz]

I actually forgot to write that down. It was like half the experience, half the time we spent, I didn't really kind of forgot about.

[Craig Rollback]

I think it was really cool because we saw a different. A whole different spectrum of like the different types. There was one's made of wood, Donahees and what was the name of it?

[Danny Heifetz]

Tahini and Nesbit.

[Craig Rollback]

That one is like Donaghy's Four levels. Like the most massive bar you've ever seen. They had like six or seven different bars on different floors.

[Danny Kelly]

They went to Kiho's night one.

[Craig Rollback]

Kho's was awesome. That was our first. That was like our baptism by fire. Getting the like splitting the G. Getting the real life Dublin, Guinness.

[Danny Kelly]

We do have to tell him about long haul. If it's was a good time, it was awesome.

[Danny Heifetz]

That's okay, cuz I bounced last night cuz it was so packed.

[Danny Kelly]

It was really packed. The second you left, we immediately got beers. A table opened up in the corner booth. We sat down and then like half the people left and it was just like lovely.

[Craig Rollback]

Like the.

[Danny Heifetz]

You're welcome. There you go. Moses with the Red Sea.

[Danny Kelly]

So famous. When you left, they were like, we.

[Danny Heifetz]

Got to go and then there you go.

[Danny Kelly]

But Long Haul was sick long.

[Danny Heifetz]

The whole reason we wanted we walked in there in the first place was the rumor is it's Springsteen's favorite bar in Dublin, which I think has been appropriated to his favorite.

[Craig Rollback]

Apparently he has his own personal bottle.

[Danny Kelly]

Of whiskey, that it's on the menu. They say that he has his. Or it's somewhere in there. It says when he walks in, there's his own bottle of whiskey.

[Danny Heifetz]

Like, literally the amount of people who are like, we're here because it's Springsteen's pub, we should start telling people we're Bruce Springsteen's favorite podcast. Because I actually can't believe how many people knew that this was.

[Danny Kelly]

I think that was my favorite bar, pub, vibe wise.

[Craig Rollback]

You love the vibe there. Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Also our cab driver, he was like, that's the best Guinness in Dublin. And I will say we did notice a difference.

[Danny Heifetz]

What does that mean?

[Danny Kelly]

It was colder. It was.

[Danny Heifetz]

It was ice cold.

[Danny Kelly]

Yes. We, like, noticed it. We'd like chugged the first couple.

[Craig Rollback]

It's like, ow.

[Danny Kelly]

Yes.

[Danny Heifetz]

Brain freeze.

[Craig Rollback]

Literally almost had, like a brain too.

[Danny Kelly]

Yes, it was very cold.

[Danny Heifetz]

I've never. Was the mug frozen.

[Danny Kelly]

No. Normal Guinness class.

[Danny Heifetz]

That's actually like, probably, like subtle.

[Craig Rollback]

But it did feel like it was colder.

[Danny Kelly]

You know, the fact that both of us were like, I think this is way colder. Yeah, it was very refreshing.

[Danny Heifetz]

Wow, that's awesome. The other thing, the pubs are amazing. Everything about the pubs. I mean, look, I. Obviously Irish pubs are like the most popular kind of bar probably entire planet. But like, you go here, but you go here and you're like, yeah, I get why you would want to share this with the entire one.

[Craig Rollback]

I wanted to bring up specifically. And I don't know if this is. Only Ireland has this. I'm sure they don't. I think it's. I'm. Other countries will have these too. But snugs in the, in the bars, in the pubs, they have these like little areas that are kind of. Yeah. They have big partitions that like go up past your head. So it's like you can have these little areas that you can just like put your bar down or put your beer down. And it's not even like a table. It's just a little place for your people. It's like at like a sill.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

I love.

[Craig Rollback]

I love snugs. It's so charming. I'll just go and like, sit in a snug and drink again.

[Danny Heifetz]

Anything else on the pubs? I. I can't. The other, the other Thing is, obviously, there's a whole difference between tipping in. In Europe versus America and obviously America. I mean, without getting into all that, basically, obviously you don't tip here, but people generally, like, you know, it's easier to like, have a living wage or whatever with the hourly and everything. So there's just not a tipping culture. With that said, much more efficient. It's more efficient with the time. Because at a bar also, there's a thing where millennials in Gen Z don't do tabs as much as our parents did. So bar lines take longer now. And bartenders hate every time because everyone closes every time in case your friends leave or whatever. All that being. I never really. So much fucking time. It adds. When a three people in front of you and everyone has to print the paper, sign, do the tip, do that right down.

[Danny Kelly]

You just happen.

[Danny Heifetz]

They take your thing, you tap the card, you turn on. No, it takes. So you never realize how mature. You never realize how much they're just cranking people out. Like, there's five people line. It's amazing.

[Craig Rollback]

I think that's like Europe, though. The contactless payment is like a big thing.

[Danny Heifetz]

They're way ahead of us. So that it's so much faster.

[Danny Kelly]

One last thing on the pub that I will say is great.

[Danny Heifetz]

I.

[Danny Kelly]

We went to McSorley's in New York, right? We took you to MC's, the oldest bar in New York. And there's only. There's only two options, right? It's dark. I love monoculture drinks where it's like. Yeah, it's basically. I mean, you can get other things. Obviously it's a full working bar, but, like, I don't know, 85% of the people are just drinking Guinness. And you just walk up and you go, three Guinnesses. And if it's loud, like, you know, it's. It's like. Yep, they run it. It's quick. It's like everyone's doing it. Yeah, I don't actually. I think we. I think we have too many drinks and.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah. What? What is it?

[Danny Heifetz]

No, it's so true. The paradox of choice. More options you think will make you happier, but it actually makes you.

[Danny Kelly]

Yes.

[Danny Heifetz]

Less happy. And simplicity is actually much better, I believe. And you're totally right with TV shows, actually.

[Danny Kelly]

I think TV shows.

[Danny Heifetz]

You're right. No, that's also. Yeah. People were happier when you can watch fewer things together. But you're right, Craig. That's all. That's a great point.

[Danny Kelly]

I love that.

[Danny Heifetz]

The other thing I'll say feels more.

[Danny Kelly]

Communal like everybody's drinking the same thing.

[Danny Heifetz]

Just feels like three options. You're right. What I thought you were going to say is McSorley's is like the oldest bar in New York City. We argued about it was like 1865.

[Craig Rollback]

Or 64, whatever, Civil War.

[Danny Heifetz]

All these pubs are as old as McSorley's base. They're almost all. They're all about as old as that and just everything.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, I think long haul was 1766.

[Craig Rollback]

Damn.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's. Yeah, it's just. It's incredible. It's amazing. This episode is brought to you by Velveeta. Game day is all about the tailgate spread. First things first, who's bringing the Velveeta drip?

All right, we'll keep rolling here, but first the ringer fantasy football show is brought to you by FanDuel and FanDuel's keeping the energy up with their $2 million jackpot every Thursday game of the NFL season. Here's how it works. Opt in and place an anytime touchdown score bet on that night's NFL game using your profit boost. If your player scores the first or last Touchdown of the game, you'll earn a share of $2 million in bonus bets. All right, Craig, you were talking about west coast bias this Thursday Night Football. It is the 49ers or at the Rams. Not gonna lie, recording this before they play on Sunday. So we don't have the line right now. So. However, I think the Rams are gonna win that game and I would probably take the Rams probably regardless of the spread.

[Craig Rollback]

Wow.

[Danny Kelly]

Does McVeigh kind of has Shanahan's number right? Isn't that a whole knock on the two of them?

[Danny Heifetz]

I mean, if, I mean, I think that he drank his milkshake when he beat them to go to the super bowl and then won the super bowl. And Kyle Shannon's like, I could have beaten the Bengals in the super bowl and one so I think that'll just always be a thing between them. We'll see what happens. I know the Rams guards are both banged up, but like the Niners lost Dick Bosom. Like, I just kind of think the Niners are just running out of guys in defense, man. Like they lost all the free agents. But then also, I don't know. You know, Fred Warner's there, but it's like the D lines all without Bosa. It's a lot of young guys on the D line and I, I Frankly, I think McVeigh, you don't think a lot about confusion on the D line, but I'm like McVeigh can really confuse a lot of the younger D linemen on the Niners.

[Danny Kelly]

Niners are getting a little bit healthy on the offensive side of the ball. Like Joanne Jennings is working his way back. Brock Purdy's back this week. Let's hope he stays healthy.

[Danny Heifetz]

Pierce all yeah, I think it's easier to trick young defensive lineman than you may think. We don't really talk about it a ton, but there are tips and tricks, so I'm gonna go with the Rams of that game. Head to FanDuel.com Ringer Fantasy to download the app and get started.

[Craig Rollback]

All right, so let's see here. I'm going to go with. This one's kind of out of left field here, but. We were going to the hurling game on Saturday. It was expected to rain most of the day, so we grabbed a couple of umbrellas, and Craig and I decided we're umbrella guys now.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, dude, I've been on the umbrella train. I had. They're amazing.

[Danny Kelly]

It's funny, but not. Not actually opening them, having them. Having them closed and just kind of by your side is the coolest accessory a man can have.

[Craig Rollback]

It's kind of like having a scepter.

[Danny Kelly]

I feel like having a.

[Craig Rollback]

Like a modern scepter.

[Danny Heifetz]

You guys just got handed the umbrellas on video, which is fucked up, because Craig's holding my umbrella, which is actually Greg Rosenthal's umbrella. But, no, this is.

[Danny Kelly]

This is not.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, this one's from.

[Danny Kelly]

This is here.

[Craig Rollback]

From the house. Yeah, from ours.

[Danny Kelly]

This is our umbrella.

[Danny Heifetz]

No umbrellas. I actually really do want to put.

[Craig Rollback]

You were putting out the umbrella vibes all day.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, I kind of just feel like the main character with an umbrella.

[Craig Rollback]

Not gonna lie.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's kind of. It's kind of like you feel like you walk around like. Like, honestly, it feels like a Pim cane.

[Craig Rollback]

It's a little bit.

[Danny Kelly]

It's like he's just sat down two cocks.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's unbelievable.

[Craig Rollback]

It is just funny, though, because Craig was just sitting. Sitting there the whole time just holding, like, have. It just, like, gives you something to rest your arm on, you know, it's.

[Danny Kelly]

Just like a good accessory, resting your hand on the end of the umbrella. It's kind of like when you're driving in the car and you got your hand on the stick shift. Yeah, it feels right.

[Danny Heifetz]

It. It's.

[Danny Kelly]

You know what I mean?

[Danny Heifetz]

Great. It's really great. It's like a. It's so.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, the umbrella vibes. It's funny because when I was reading up on Ireland before coming here, the people were like, irish people don't use umbrellas. It's like automatic. You're a tourist. But then everyone was using umbrellas.

[Danny Kelly]

I find that to be. That's really funny. Like, it rains all the time. Don't use umbrellas.

[Craig Rollback]

I think it was like. It's like someone projecting, like, that they didn't want you to be, like, a puss or something.

[Danny Heifetz]

Like get rained on. I will say I also, you live in Seattle.

[Danny Kelly]

It rains all the time. Don't people use umbrellas the same.

[Craig Rollback]

It's the same thing. Apparently in Seattle you're not supposed to use an umbrella because that makes means you're like a sheepling or something.

[Danny Heifetz]

But it's like forgot an umbrella.

[Craig Rollback]

If you're a real. If you're a Northwestern or you don't use an umbrella, it's like a lot of people use umbrella.

[Danny Heifetz]

No, that's dash some guy who forgot an umbrella. That's an idiot.

[Craig Rollback]

They're incredibly useful.

[Danny Heifetz]

Also, it's like, even if you feels good, obviously option one or option after an umbrella is a rain jacket. But there's two issues with that. One washes under your pants. You look like an idiot. You take it off and it's like it's really raining. Craig doesn't know any about this because la it doesn't rain, but like it washes off. Don't be honest. But you know your pants right around your phone area, it gets all wet. But also, you still kind of get the psychological impact of being rained on, which you've evolved to like hate an umbrella. You're like, I can't die.

[Danny Kelly]

Also, there's a third thing. If you don't have an umbrella and you have a rain jacket, you're just getting rained on. The second you step inside somewhere, you have a really wet jacket and then.

[Danny Heifetz]

You'Re like a wet dog. And people around you like, geez, in a tight restaurant. Yeah, umbrella. That's a great pick.

[Craig Rollback]

I think we're going to get some haters about the umbrella.

[Danny Heifetz]

No, I actually.

[Craig Rollback]

The people that think you're weak if you have an umbrella, it's also just like a great.

[Danny Heifetz]

No, that's toxic masculinity. If you. If you're like, you're in a to have an umbrella. It's awesome.

[Craig Rollback]

I feel like carrying it around.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, dude, I feel like Gene Kelly in this thing.

[Craig Rollback]

I'm gonna start singing like I'm in Mary Poppins.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah. Down Drury Lane.

[Danny Heifetz]

Oh, we did find Drew Elaine. We forgot to get muffins and everything.

[Danny Kelly]

Do you think they had a muffin shop?

[Danny Heifetz]

They must. If not, we'll start.

[Danny Kelly]

I asked. I don't know where. That's like, what's the origin of that song?

[Danny Heifetz]

I don't know anything. DK was like, what's with that song? We're like, no.

[Craig Rollback]

When you guys started singing it, I.

[Danny Heifetz]

Reckon I think it has an outstand on our thing because Shrek folktale I think Shrek brought the Muffin man song back to our generation, and it skipped him back. I think no Muffin Man. It came back for sure. Okay. Power ranking or drafting things we loved about Ireland. Craig, your second pick here.

[Danny Kelly]

I have to say, the Steelers buzz has been awesome. I guess I didn't realize how. How strong the connection is between the Steelers ownership, the Rooneys in Ireland. Dan Rooney, the son of Art Rooney, the founder of the Steelers, was the US Ambassador to Ireland under Obama. And the Rooneys were really pushing Goodell to play this game in Ireland. And, man, can you feel it in the streets of Dublin. I would literally, I have seen less than 10 Vikings fans.

[Danny Heifetz]

There's more here, way more now than fair.

[Danny Kelly]

But I'm just saying, like, straight up, I mean, we've been out a lot. I think I've seen less than 10 Vikings fans my entire plane. With Steelers, it says that they said 30% of the crowd today is projected to be Americans straight up.

[Danny Heifetz]

Usually it's like 10 straight up. The Vikings fans got here Saturday and the Steelers fans got here Thursday and Friday. Like, that's just a fact. And I don't know if that's. I mean, frankly, I wonder if more Pittsburgh fans have, like, Irish heritage and wanted to come here and see more of Ireland. Or maybe there's more Vikings fans. I don't know. I mean, Minnesota's a slight, I guess a slightly further trip than Pittsburgh.

[Craig Rollback]

I feel like Vikings fans travel well, too. It's just like the Steelers fans.

[Danny Heifetz]

It is the first two nights. I will say my hotel now has. I saw more Vikings fans this morning than I did the rest of the trip, but There were like 30 this morning. I saw the most Vikings. It was there everywhere. It's like pubs. It's just occurring the corner, like, I don't know how many rooms we were in this weekend that didn't have a Steelers fan.

[Danny Kelly]

No, there were also, like a million Steeler dedicated pubs. I mean, it is. It feels like the Super Bowl.

[Danny Heifetz]

It does. I. It's funny, when we were. When we. When people. The NFL pitched us, shout out Sonny. And people pitched us, they were like, oh, these things are like mini Super Bowls. And I was in my head, I was like, is that like, just a thing they're saying as a marketing gimmick being here and we've been to Super Bowls. Yeah, it does feel like the super.

[Craig Rollback]

Bowl has the same. Like Craig was saying, the buzz in the city, you can actually feel it.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's great. Funny, because I know that maybe this game Today was awesome. We haven't been to the game yet. Maybe this game sucked and it was like 9 to 6 and it was awful.

[Craig Rollback]

Have fun.

[Danny Heifetz]

But. And so maybe people are laughing more like it's like a Super Bowl. But the vibe here. I am shocked at the level to which the game has taken over the city. City.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Is it. It? Honestly, really surprised. I kind of thought it would be a thing happening within a larger city. Completely dominant. Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Sometimes the buzz around the game is better than the game. You know, I feel, I sometimes feel that way with like the college pageantry. It's all so cool. And then it's like 54, the tailgate.

[Danny Heifetz]

Then you're like, you go. You're like, oh, yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Like Carson, Wentz and Rogers might combine for four picks and it's going to be like 14 to 10.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

And it'll be like an okay game. But the vibe is so cool. You know, it's funny, our. One of our taxi drivers was saying this, talking about American football because he said he kind of liked it. He was excited for the game, he thought it was cool. But then he was like, I tried to watch the super bowl, man. It's like so boring.

[Craig Rollback]

He's like, it's so long.

[Danny Kelly]

Long, so slow and long.

[Danny Heifetz]

The kids, the kids, the hurling kids who actually refused to make fun of me, which really built up my confidence. The. The kids, we were walking up the field and they asked about American football. And they were like, yeah, it's. They're like, we like trying to watch it. He's like, it's so complicated.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, he's like, very. It's confusing.

[Danny Heifetz]

And I was like, yeah, I feel.

[Craig Rollback]

Better about how we were watching hurling.

[Danny Heifetz]

That's probably how they feel. But honestly, football is way more American football, way more rules. Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Imagine trying to explain after an hour of hurling. We were like, okay, I think we get it right. I mean, I still don't know how the NFL plays.

[Danny Heifetz]

Imagine trying to explain, like roughing the passer, body weight landed on the quarterback to an 11 year old leverage. Redo the catch on the kick.

[Craig Rollback]

Explain what a catch is.

[Danny Kelly]

Elbow counts as two feet. You can't bounce on the same foot twice.

[Danny Heifetz]

That's not a catch. No, that's. You get one shin. Is two feet. What? It's. Yeah, it's. Oh my. We should have. God, the best ideas happen. We should have explained football rules to random Irish people going to the stadium. I'm so mad. We just thought about.

[Danny Kelly]

We still can.

[Craig Rollback]

What are you talking about?

[Danny Heifetz]

We should go do that you're right though.

[Danny Kelly]

What?

[Danny Heifetz]

No, just the game. Steelers say the vibes are good.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Okay.

[Craig Rollback]

I saw a handful of Vikings fans when we went to the Guinness brewery.

[Danny Heifetz]

I've seen way more.

[Craig Rollback]

There was. I would say it's like, like, I would say it's like 80, 20, maybe percent. Yeah, I heard that it was probably gonna be more like 70, 30, but we'll see.

[Danny Heifetz]

Okay. So do I have back to back picks?

[Danny Kelly]

Impressive.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah. Yeah. Do I have back to back picks now?

[Danny Kelly]

Sure.

[Danny Heifetz]

Okay. Can't believe this. Sold to me things we loved in Ireland. Spice bags. Oh, spice bags are.

[Danny Kelly]

I'm surprised. I'm surprised you're announcing this because we were gonna start a company in American conglomerate.

[Danny Heifetz]

Are we gonna start the company or should I tell the story? No, let's be honest. Okay.

[Danny Kelly]

So this is change our lives.

[Danny Heifetz]

Someone listening. You know, it's funny that the tick tock trend of Russell Wilson's bathrooms versus Touchdown. Count that as a bronco. That's the guy who started that listened to our show and then made it like a tick tock, I think. And it became a huge thing. And this is going to be like that with a billion dollar company.

[Danny Kelly]

Yes.

[Danny Heifetz]

So I'm a little. I actually, I know someone listening is going to just do this and. And they're like, yeah, thanks for that idea. And we're like, just do it.

[Danny Kelly]

We'll whatever if we want. Okay.

[Danny Heifetz]

We'll cut it if you have to. The spice bag thing is I actually have never come across an idea or a thing in any trip I've ever taken where I've been so surprised. This doesn't exist anywhere.

[Danny Kelly]

I agree.

[Craig Rollback]

Are we sure it doesn't?

[Danny Kelly]

I. I don't know. I feel like one of us would.

[Danny Heifetz]

Have said we all love eating and have never heard of it. And so all spice bag is. And it's called spice bags and it's these Chinese restaurants in Dublin and. And I'm sure maybe other places too. But the ones I saw were all Chinese. And it is basically the simplest perfect idea ever. It is a bag of french fries and chicken nuggets.

[Danny Kelly]

Basically like salt and pepper chicken and.

[Danny Heifetz]

It'S just with a bunch of Chinese spices in it and shaken up and it's just drunk food.

[Danny Kelly]

And it's in a thick paper bag. It's drunk food. Yeah. So it's just a bag of salt and pepper chicken. Fries just like sometimes like onions and then great spice.

[Danny Heifetz]

There are places I've seen this idea in America, like Chap. I mean, I'm sure, there's a bunch of people screaming, ghosts screaming. But I'm like, you went to UNC Chapel Hill. They have the places that will sell you bag of chicken fries. Chicken nuggets and fries.

[Danny Kelly]

Thirstier bubble.

[Craig Rollback]

But it's definitely already in America.

[Danny Kelly]

You're on. You're on some random website.

[Danny Heifetz]

No, but the point being, specifically it being Chinese spices and the mix of like a Chinese food taste with just it. But it's chicken fingers and like French fries in a bag, and you can bring it into a bar and so we. You pick it up, but you walk instant bag and you just deliver. Someone shows up with a bag and Uber eats and bikes over to you. And you're at a pub in Dublin and someone just hands you this bag of French fries with all the taste of like, Chinese seasoning.

[Danny Kelly]

And it's like there's peppers and onions in there sometimes.

[Danny Heifetz]

But like, it's incredible.

[Danny Kelly]

YouTuber doing this in America, I wouldn't say means this is like a part of American cuisine.

[Danny Heifetz]

We all have lived in America our entire lives and have never heard of this. Like, clearly, it's selling this.

[Danny Kelly]

Restaurants all over.

[Danny Heifetz]

Okay. It was the best. I. I don't say this.

[Danny Kelly]

Every college town should have this.

[Danny Heifetz]

I don't say this lightly. It's the best drunk food. Top five drunk food of my entire life. Wow.

[Danny Kelly]

I would agree also. I just love the mechanism, like, the way it's delivered. The way you eat a bag. Perfect. It's not like in a big tin that you have to open with a fork. Oh, it's just a paper. A thick paper bag. You're eating it with your hands.

[Danny Heifetz]

There's so many ghosts screaming at us. It's like, okay, there needs to be more. Whatever. Fine. All right, all right.

[Danny Kelly]

That didn't hit the spice back.

[Danny Heifetz]

All right, fine. I have another look.

[Craig Rollback]

Good. This is making me hungry.

[Danny Kelly]

We'll get one more tonight.

[Danny Heifetz]

So I'm going back. I have another pick right now. Right?

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Okay. Things I loved about Dublin cab drivers.

[Craig Rollback]

Oh, yeah, Taxi drivers.

[Danny Kelly]

We were talking about last night before people.

[Danny Heifetz]

And then I have a larger take, but I. You guys had more fun. Taxi. I don't want to give you the space. Talk about your taxi drivers again.

[Danny Kelly]

Oh, right now?

[Danny Heifetz]

Yes.

[Danny Kelly]

Well, we. The first guy we ever took from our Airbnb into downtown was the most classic Irishman.

[Craig Rollback]

Exactly what you would imagine, a Dublin taxi driver, because he was just swerving all over the road, yelling at people in turn and that were like, going too slow or whatever. He was like, gobs Igit like just like the. Under his breath the whole time. It was so funny. But like, in a nice way.

[Danny Kelly]

You know what I mean?

[Craig Rollback]

Like, we really liked it in a nice way.

[Danny Heifetz]

You're like, what a nice.

[Craig Rollback]

But he's like play like he's playing around. He's not being serious. Not like actually starting fights. He was just funny.

[Danny Kelly]

I've never heard the word more. Yeah than. Than this weekend.

[Danny Heifetz]

Other than when. Between that and Rory getting yelled at. Yeah. Irish taxi drivers yelling at Rory A. Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Like every fifth word out of this guy was. And it look bad ruining this city. It was. It was great. He talks about goite and. And crack.

[Craig Rollback]

Crack. Yeah. He explained what the crack is.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah. I still don't know what cracked is.

[Danny Kelly]

This weekend has been cracked.

[Craig Rollback]

Been the.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's been crack. But then there's the American Gen Z version of crack, which is cracking.

[Danny Kelly]

What's that? Is that what Kai taught us?

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, don't worry about it. It's fine.

[Craig Rollback]

Cracked.

[Danny Heifetz]

Don't worry about it.

[Danny Kelly]

Is that sex?

[Danny Heifetz]

That's sex, yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Don't worry about it. Like, what? We can't handle that?

[Danny Heifetz]

I have a wife. There's children. Yeah, the cab drivers have been amazing.

[Danny Kelly]

But we were talking about. Taxi drivers are so great.

[Danny Heifetz]

I really. I have really strong. I'm going to. Not to get on my fucking high horse here, but I'm going to do it. This weekend has really cemented for me two things. One, how much better it is to have taxi drivers. And honestly, what a travesty rideshare has become. Because Ireland has an alternate universe of how it should have gone down, which is there is no Uber here. There's no Lyft here. There is an app powered by Lyft where you can hail taxis. So there are no random people with a side hustle or who are trying to drive Uber or Lyft. You have cab drivers like it was 15 years ago for the last hundred years. Like, we're not 100, but whatever. Cab drivers, that was dumb.

[Danny Kelly]

Whatever wrong.

[Danny Heifetz]

That doesn't undermine my whole point. But the point is there's taxi drivers and they can just be a regular tax. You can hail down or they all are on an app. And so at one, when you're just driven around by only taxi drivers who are professional career guys who just. You give them an address and I mentioned my hotel, they're like, oh, yeah, I know exactly what that is. And just go. You're reminded one, how much more skilled they are, how much safer you feel, how much better they are. At their job. They don't. They know everywhere, and it's just a better product. They know the city. It's just nicer to have a tourist in the city.

[Danny Kelly]

I can't tell you how many. How many recommendations we got from taxi drivers that we took and did.

[Craig Rollback]

And it was so fun, almost like tour guides.

[Danny Heifetz]

I'm sure someone listening to this driving.

[Danny Kelly]

Don'T go to this pub. Our taxi driver told us about the long haul.

[Danny Heifetz]

Like, and I don't mean. And I'm sure someone listening to the show right now is probably like driving Lyfter Uber right now. And that's no offense, just like this guy's been driving for 40 years. Like, it's just. He's good at it. But the other thing that I think is really clear to me, he's Uber. But the other thing is so clear to me about what, how this should have gone down. And it's worth talking about what happened with, you know, I can only talk about New York and taxi drivers where I know better.

[Craig Rollback]

But basically, no, we were going to go on a rant.

[Danny Heifetz]

No, but the career, the way it goes with the New York medallions on.

[Danny Kelly]

The way to dinner.

[Danny Heifetz]

Medallions are like a taxi medallion in New York was like a mortgage for your career. It was like, it costs somewhere between $200,000. And over time, it actually peaked around 1.2, $1.3 million to get a taxi medallion. And you would borrow that. You would borrow the money, take it, pay it out like 30, 40 years, like a house, and then that's your retirement. If you pass away, it's like your life insurance. It's what you passed in your kids. Like, you get the rights to it. It's like a million dollars. And that's your thing. And so that's the idea of, like, you come as an immigrant, you're able to taxi and you're able to pass down a very serious. Like, you really can lift your family to a better life than you had. And it's like, really engine of the American dream. And it's what you're paying for is the exclusive right to drive a taxi in New York. There's a limited amount and you only get to so many. And what Uber came in and did was took advantage of a loophole. I think people get it contractors, blah, blah, blah, not taxis. And it completely undermined. And I think the value of a medallion went from 1.3 million. Uber was invented, it cut down by a fifth, and it just completely undermined it. Everyone knows what's Happened to taxis in cities, Ubers, et cetera. So the point being, there's the daily had an incredible episode on this, like, years and years ago, and the taxi driver put it as, imagine, like, this year, what channel was the super bowl on?

[Danny Kelly]

Fox. Fox.

[Danny Heifetz]

Why didn't you watch it on cbs? Because Fox paid for the exclusive right for the Super Bowl. And if the NFL let CBS air it, Fox probably should have gotten their money back because they paid all that money for the exclusive. Right. The point being that the taxi people aren't like, uber should be deleted. Uber should be whatever. But they should have been compensated for losing their exclusive right to do taxis. No one's going to pay them for that. That's not the point. The point is, in retrospect, how all these companies, Uber and everything, set up this whole economy of we're going to open a dollar store and just discount, it's going to be sold for 75 cents, undermine the business and then no one will be left and it's just us, which is obviously what happened.

[Danny Kelly]

Flood the market, then raise the prices.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yes. And so there's no tax. And so coming to a country which has had basically an alternate reality where they're like, this is so much simpler. And what they did is, in retrospect, so obvious. The technology and the app should have just been for taxi drivers. Like, it is so obvious having Connect, merging the two ideas, which is I should be able to call a taxi to me instead of going to the taxi on this lovely app. And the taxi drivers just learned to use the app is, in retrospect, so much, obviously better as a user experience for us and as a business for them. And I am upset that we didn't get to that in America because it would be a better place if we had just had all the taxi drivers get the app and the technology. And it's upsetting that this didn't happen over the years.

[Danny Kelly]

100% agree. It's just a better product. That makes way more sense the way.

[Craig Rollback]

That they're doing it here. Seems like this is less fun than our other stuff. You're making good points here, though.

[Danny Heifetz]

Oh, my God. Anyway, yeah, sorry, Waxhole. All right. Other stuff. Yeah, sorry, I just. Yeah, no, I'm 100%.

[Danny Kelly]

It's just way better.

[Danny Heifetz]

I just wish the apps called taxis. Anyway, sorry, keep going. Yeah, you're right.

[Danny Kelly]

I would say taxis are like 20% of, like, responsible for how great of a weekend we've had. It's like the taxi drivers and how.

[Craig Rollback]

Much they've helped us Also, not to skip you, Craig, but one of. I just want to, since it's so related. One of the highlights was just getting freaked out by driving on the wrong side of the road. I wasn't actually doing the driving, of course, but like in those. In the cavs, it's like, like trippy when you're on the other side. I've never actually. I don't know if I've ever been in a cab on the that side of the road. I've taken buses before in like London or something in like the UK and Ireland. But like, oh, interesting. I don't know if I've ever ridden in a car before. It's like very different.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Or at least I have never been to a country that you're about to.

[Craig Rollback]

Get in an accident.

[Danny Heifetz]

I've never been to Ireland. I've never been anywhere in the United Kingdom. I've never been anywhere that drove on the other side of the road. And so it is weird. Bizarre one. I just. You don't get used. We're not here long enough. I haven't gotten used to it. I'm just. No left or right.

[Danny Kelly]

I just also, taxi drivers drive with just like more reckless abandonment.

[Craig Rollback]

Right.

[Danny Kelly]

Because they're so comfortable with the city.

[Craig Rollback]

They know what they're doing.

[Danny Heifetz]

That's an original Jerry Seinfeld, like, stand up joke. Which is like when you're. You're in a taxi, you're like, oh, it's not my car. I wouldn't drive like this. Whoa. It's like a ride.

[Craig Rollback]

It is like a ride.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's like a theme park. You're like, oh. You're like, oh, my God.

[Danny Kelly]

Well, we're going to.

[Danny Heifetz]

Right? Dude, my cab here.

[Craig Rollback]

This is weird.

[Danny Heifetz]

I'm not in the same place as you guys. My cab with you guys. I drove here. I've never seen a car in any context get so close to a pedestrian as he did. I've never seen.

[Danny Kelly]

And you're from New York.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

I've never seen a car get so.

[Craig Rollback]

Close to a person's been hit by a car.

[Danny Heifetz]

That's true. I guess I get hit by a cab. Yeah, that's true.

[Craig Rollback]

You've never seen it happen?

[Danny Heifetz]

Dude, I got hit.

[Craig Rollback]

I didn't see the taxi, so it doesn't count.

[Danny Heifetz]

You know, my friends saw me after and they're like, oh, is the cab okay, Craig? What do you got any other picks here?

[Danny Kelly]

I guess we haven't said this explicitly, which is a little surprising, but Guinness, right?

[Craig Rollback]

That was on my list.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

Like, well, we said the cold. We were talking about the cold. Guinness.

[Danny Heifetz]

I guess I just thought pubs, but, yeah, Guinness it is. I think you nailed it with the mono. A city having a monoculture drink is awesome.

[Craig Rollback]

Awesome.

[Danny Kelly]

It's awesome.

[Danny Heifetz]

Having said that, the funniest thing anyone said all weekend was we. We. We have. I mean, if you follow us on Instagram, you know, we kept splitting the G and drinking the Guinnesses. We went to the Guinness factory. We spent hours. We go to the top of the Guinness factory, which is this like 360 degree thing over the city. And we're sitting there, we drink there. Get Carlos Guinness. Carlos has been awesome with us on this trip. And there's just a pause, and I'm kind of like, carlos, what do you. What do you think of all the. What did you think of the tour? There's this long pause and Carlos is like, I don't really get this Guinness thing.

[Craig Rollback]

He's been. He's been drinking Moscow Mules. Wrong city, pal. It's been great. Like, everybody. All the bars have it, so it's an elite.

[Danny Heifetz]

Zach, I don't know.

[Danny Kelly]

He's like, it tastes like beer, but.

[Danny Heifetz]

Dude, shout out. Tom, the same guy who showed us the spice bags was like, oh, my God. Well, this is all. Sorry, I'm just cutting into this. But he was like, oh, you don't need a Guinness. Eat it at Murphy's. And I'm like, what's Murphy? So I'm glad you asked. And he has a quarter zip, unzips his quarter zip, pulls it out like Superman. And he has an infographic on his shirt explaining the three beers of Ireland.

[Craig Rollback]

What was the other one?

[Danny Heifetz]

Guinness. Murphy's and Beamish.

[Craig Rollback]

Oh, yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

And I was like, he's like, you need a Murphy's. I'm like, what's Beamish? He's like, you're not ready for that.

[Craig Rollback]

You have to work up.

[Danny Heifetz]

He's like, yeah. And he's. I'll get you. He gets me a Murphy's. And he's like, an indifferent glass. Murphy supplies her own glasses. And he's like, you hold it with a little bottom. And it's like, don't you feel a little classier in this? It's like an umbrella for glass. And I'm like, yeah, I do feel classy.

[Danny Kelly]

And you liked Murphy's more than I.

[Danny Heifetz]

Thought Murphy's was better because I like the big keeping. Now, what is it? The mouthfuls. What they. They told us at the Guinness Factor, you can't.

[Craig Rollback]

Oh, that was one.

[Danny Kelly]

That was one of my Guinness.

[Craig Rollback]

This was one of my highlights.

[Danny Kelly]

You need. You need to take big, generous mouthfuls.

[Craig Rollback]

She said it, like, four times.

[Danny Heifetz]

Very Irish accent.

[Danny Kelly]

That is the way to drink Guinness.

[Danny Heifetz]

Generous mouthfuls that you take.

[Craig Rollback]

Big, generous mouth.

[Danny Kelly]

I will say, right after that happened, we ordered a Guinness and then. Dk, just, like, sips. Just sit them on top.

[Craig Rollback]

Craig. I was. I didn't want it to spill. All right.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's just the bubbles. Just the nitrogen bubbles at the top is all you're saying.

[Danny Kelly]

Generous mouthfuls up.

[Craig Rollback]

I forgot about the big, generous mouthfuls.

[Danny Kelly]

You can't forget about the big, generous mouth, which is the new name. My fantasy.

[Danny Heifetz]

You know what's funny? You can't. That's why he can't split the G. Well, because he doesn't do big, generous mouth. Big, generous, generous mouthfuls. It's on your chat. It's on your board.

[Craig Rollback]

Again, to be clear. Big, generous mouth.

[Danny Heifetz]

Did you think that would slip to the fourth round? What are you doing?

[Craig Rollback]

I know.

[Danny Heifetz]

I forgot.

[Craig Rollback]

I should have done it earlier.

[Danny Kelly]

We also learned that, you know Guinness, the nickname of Guinness, like, people call it, like, the black stuff. We learned that Guinness is not black and it's actually ruby red.

[Danny Heifetz]

Dude, Jackie nailed that. Yeah, Jackie said that. And I kind of was like, yeah, sure, hon. I don't know.

[Craig Rollback]

I. I kind of feel.

[Danny Heifetz]

Kind of nodded.

[Craig Rollback]

It looks black to me.

[Danny Kelly]

Guinness factor. They told us.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, Jackie. Jackie feels so vindicated when they said that on the tour. And she was like, it's actually ruby red. And she was just like, hmm.

[Danny Kelly]

I think it's the most aesthetically pleasing beer. It's my favorite beer.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

I think it's the easiest beer to.

[Craig Rollback]

Drink, and we think. We think it tastes. It does. We confirm it. It does taste different here, definitely.

[Danny Kelly]

I would say it's. It's. The two biggest things for me is it's creamier, and then I think the aftertaste is so much smoother, and there's no metallic creaminess.

[Danny Heifetz]

Use it on the glass. Dk. I'm curious. Yeah, I think Craig. Wife, guy. Happiest I've ever seen Craig was his wedding. Second happiest I've ever seen him was drinking Guinness.

[Craig Rollback]

The first generous mouthful of it.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, the first. I actually. I actually think the happiest I've ever seen Craig, other than his wedding, was the first time he got a Guinness in his hand on this trip.

[Danny Kelly]

There's an.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's clearly your favorite beer.

[Danny Kelly]

Oh, I love it. There's an LA pub, I guess it's called Ye olde King's Head. And I drink Guinness there. And it was like, it's like the only. You know. So I keep going, no, no, go ahead. I was basically just saying like I loved it there. And then now coming here, I'm like.

[Danny Heifetz]

Holy, are you gonna drink Guinness? And you go, I feel like I can't.

[Craig Rollback]

I will.

[Danny Heifetz]

I feel like I have to.

[Craig Rollback]

You just have to recognize, what, am.

[Danny Kelly]

I never gonna have Guinness again? Like I'm not gonna be coming to Dublin every other month.

[Danny Heifetz]

That's a good point.

[Danny Kelly]

No, I'll keep drinking it, of course, but not.

[Danny Heifetz]

Guinness is good. I kind of can't believe you got Guinness in the third.

[Danny Kelly]

I know.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's kind of amazing, I guess. I don't know pubs like, didn't think you could just take it. Save the best for last dk.

[Danny Kelly]

Generous mouthful for me.

[Craig Rollback]

One of the highlights was having the self restraint to not tell any Irish person that I have Irish descent.

[Danny Heifetz]

Oh, I proud of you.

[Craig Rollback]

I have done it. I haven't. I haven't said that one time.

[Danny Kelly]

Last name Kelly.

[Craig Rollback]

I actually did have a buddy that one of his. He told me we should do a bit where we just go into any bar. I don't know if I said this before. Go into every bar and try and find as many Danny Kelly's as possible.

[Danny Heifetz]

Like the people with the Rockies game, they had like 400 people named Ryan. Although the Rockies game. Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

How many Dan Kelly's are going to be at the stadium today?

[Craig Rollback]

Like over email us.

[Danny Heifetz]

50. Like 50 probably.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, there is a. I don't know if I think he might be British, but there is a Danny Kelly that does soccer coverage and he's like pretty famous. And people always tag me and like say they're like all mad about some take he had about like soccer. And I'm like, what do you. I don't know what you're talking about.

[Danny Kelly]

That was like Bobby Wagner who used to work at the ringer.

[Craig Rollback]

Oh yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Would always get tagged like Bobby Wagner the linebacker dude.

[Danny Heifetz]

Even Darius Slayton on the Giants, who's a receiver, obviously. And then the Eagles had this cornerback named Darius Slay. And Darius Slay made all these comments in Brazil about I won't even go into what he said or whatever. And Darius Slayton, like all these Brazilian people just like were screaming at Darius Slayton. He's like, I am an NFL player, but I'm not that guy.

[Craig Rollback]

Right?

[Danny Heifetz]

Please stop yelling at me.

[Craig Rollback]

There's like, yeah, there's like a reporter called named Jerry Sandesky. And he's like, I'm not changing my name.

[Danny Heifetz]

He's the one who saw this one. Yeah, that guy. He should probably change his name.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, I think I might. I think I would change.

[Danny Heifetz]

I would add an initial. Go by Gerald.

[Craig Rollback]

Like Gerald.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

Oh, that was actually something. This is not on my list, but Irish names are awesome.

[Danny Heifetz]

They're beautiful.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah. And it's. And obviously, like, we are terrible at pronouncing them, and we recognize that, so apologies.

[Danny Kelly]

So what are your five favorites? Go ahead.

[Danny Heifetz]

IFA's great.

[Craig Rollback]

But there were the guy, the coach that we met, the hurling coach. Yeah, his name was. And I'm gonna.

[Danny Heifetz]

It was the Irish version of Gerald.

[Craig Rollback]

Gerald. I think it was something along those lines.

[Danny Heifetz]

He's like, gerald.

[Craig Rollback]

I. I can't use idiot Americans. It's Gerald.

[Danny Heifetz]

Shocking. I can't pronounce Irish. I can barely speak English.

[Craig Rollback]

But it's. I love that. I think it's cool. That. And there was a lot of, you know, when we were watching the hurling, it was like, Tara Connor, Like Patty. Like, it was just like all the classic Irish names, they're just like, screaming at each other. It was great.

[Danny Heifetz]

Oh, my God. Hearing Irish people scream at our other Irish people in any context. Anger, sporting events. Honestly, the accent, I just. It always is funny to me that no matter how much I hear an Irish accent or even an English accent or anything, I'm like, oh, my God, that's so. I don't know what effect it has in Americans. I don't know why it is so much better than hearing an American talk.

[Danny Kelly]

But I have family from here.

[Danny Heifetz]

Honestly, I actually. I wish I had taken this first. The fact that every Irish person you talk to as an Irish accent is, like, honestly, one of the best and most charming parts of the whole city. It never gets old. Every time they open their mouth, I'm like, oh, man. I could listen to you talk sitting.

[Craig Rollback]

There like an idiot. Like, this is really.

[Danny Heifetz]

I'm trying. Just keep talking.

[Craig Rollback]

I love.

[Danny Kelly]

Remember there was one guy on the street the other night who was like, oh, I love the American accent. We were like, what an Irish guy. I love the accent. Like, what are you talking about?

[Craig Rollback]

No one's said. No one ever.

[Danny Heifetz]

Get a load of this guy.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

All right. Any. Any other stuff. We. I mean, this. Undrafted free agents. Now you can kind of just like, sign who you wanted.

[Craig Rollback]

I was. I had Irish slang on there.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Ban jacked cab driver saying ban jaxed, which means tired. I think so.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

I can't. Can you do The Irish.

[Danny Kelly]

I. I need, like, specific words, then I can fall into it. Go.

[Danny Heifetz]

Which we don't know what that means still, right?

[Danny Kelly]

I mean, we do.

[Craig Rollback]

It means gobshite. That's what. That's how he explained it.

[Danny Kelly]

I was like, gobshite. What does that mean? And there's a pause, and then he goes, you're. Go.

[Danny Heifetz]

I was like, all right, I get it.

[Craig Rollback]

That makes sense, actually. Yeah, I get it.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's not gob. It's job, dad.

[Craig Rollback]

It's this dictionary says a person who is stupid or incompetent.

[Danny Kelly]

You're gu.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah. All this slang, anything. I have, like, a couple other undressed agents I'd take.

[Danny Kelly]

Trinity College is cool.

[Danny Heifetz]

Trinity College is great. The Book of Kells was cool. I actually have wrote down a bunch of stuff.

[Craig Rollback]

We didn't turn that into a bunch of content, though.

[Danny Heifetz]

The book. Well, it's.

[Danny Kelly]

Right. I tried to take the book, but it didn't work.

[Danny Heifetz]

I almost took a picture of the Book of Kells, which is, like 1500 years old. You know, there's no lights in here for. At all, because, like, there's no lighting. Photos. But did you. You not flash, right?

[Danny Kelly]

No.

[Danny Heifetz]

You're definitely not.

[Danny Kelly]

No, the guy told me not to.

[Craig Rollback]

But you're going to get kicked out of Ireland.

[Danny Kelly]

Good thing this ain't coming out until Wednesday.

[Danny Heifetz]

I do want to tell the.

[Danny Kelly]

I didn't know that you could. I mean, I didn't have a flash, but I took a photo and the.

[Danny Heifetz]

Guy was like, hey.

[Danny Kelly]

And I said, too late. Jump. I'm selling this.

[Craig Rollback]

I saw that you were like, sorry.

[Danny Heifetz]

So you guys were a little. You guys hit traffic, and he's like, go.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, go.

[Danny Heifetz]

You guys missed some Book of Kel stuff. And I kind of figured you were. You kind of. There was no way you were going to digest some of the stuff in the museum in the beginning because you were kind of catching up to us. And I wanted to just. I wrote some stuff down.

[Danny Kelly]

Okay.

[Danny Heifetz]

That I kind of thought was incredible and just random stuff. 1. Just. The book of Kells. It's an old book. It's like, we don't have to go too into it, but it's cool. It's kind of like, how the fuck do they make this thing? And it's just interesting. But one. All these monks made it one. We got to bring monks back. We have too many incels and not out of monks. And, like, we really need to bring back, I think, monks. I'm pretty impressed with the monks. We have too many we need to bring back, like, order to this kind of life.

[Danny Kelly]

They were coming back. Measles and mon. They coming back.

[Craig Rollback]

I don't think that's what that.

[Danny Heifetz]

That was pretty good. That was pretty good. 1185 calf skins to make this book.

[Craig Rollback]

You were blown away by that.

[Danny Heifetz]

I just. They were like, yeah, we did the really good pictures on the flesh side because the hair side's hard to draw on. I'm like, that's unbelievable. But the other ones that I just. From one, they think that they had magnifying glasses, because when you put it under a microscope, there's, like, more detail. Like, there's a picture. The big. Best picture of their whole thing. Like, the man. Main thing of, like, like, obviously, it's like a big, you know, the big, you know, Jesus's big reveal and the devil's there. And, like, under a microscope, the devil has, like, 20 stab wounds. And they're like. They must have used crystals or something to have a Mac. But they don't really understand how they would have had a magnifying glass. But there's just all this stuff where it's just really impressive. Everything people did. However, I just wrote this down because I just thought it was funny. They were talking about the writing in the book, and they're like, the letters J, U, and W were not used by the Romans. They were added later. U and W developed from V, and then J came from I. And I don't know why this is so funny to me, but I don't know when we decided we were done with the Alphabet, but I kind of think we could keep rolling.

[Danny Kelly]

You think we need more letters or less?

[Danny Heifetz]

Tyler Parker talked about this years ago. This is like the first, hottest take, but I'm like. I feel like they. I don't.

[Craig Rollback]

Gift versus gif.

[Danny Heifetz]

Who gets to just edit the Alphabet?

[Danny Kelly]

How did I. Why did I turn into J? Other than visually?

[Danny Heifetz]

I think they just added the little.

[Danny Kelly]

Pearl, but I don't understand how those are related at all.

[Craig Rollback]

And they looked. I think it's like.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

But I don't know how. I don't know. Craig.

[Danny Heifetz]

The other one, the colors in it, they.

[Craig Rollback]

I haven't done the research on that.

[Danny Heifetz]

They made yellow in the book from arsenic.

[Danny Kelly]

Wow.

[Danny Heifetz]

Which is. I mean, that's hardcore.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Okay. I can tell we're really dying out in this. No one cares about the Book of Kels thing. Old book. It was cool to see, but very old. Bad podcast content.

[Danny Kelly]

No Trinity College. The library was beautiful.

[Danny Heifetz]

Library's beautiful.

[Danny Kelly]

Like I was in something.

[Danny Heifetz]

Oh, that was the last thing I want to say about the library. I thought this was so funny.

[Craig Rollback]

Felt like I was Hogwarts.

[Danny Heifetz]

One of the cool things is the maps. I think it's cool to see. I mean, one, for example, I think I could build Stonehenge. The idea of like, hey, can you go back a thousand years, make a map of place and try to make a map of it? Blows my mind. And the notes on the historic, you know, they have like, here's a thousand year old map of Ireland, what they thought it looked like. And then a little like they write a little paragraph under it, you know, like, museum, museum. It was so catty. All the notes were so jealous of these people. And they were like. The notes was like this like pretty incredible map of Ireland. It's from like 800 A.D. and the note is like, yeah, this guy made it. And they're like, you know, it's two degrees off.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

And I'm like, he made this a thousand years ago. And they're like, the shape pretty rough. And I'm like, are you kidding?

[Danny Kelly]

It's on a calf skin.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's. I just couldn't. Like all the notes were nitpicky.

[Craig Rollback]

The. The Ulster region's not accurate.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, yeah. I couldn't believe, like they left that.

[Craig Rollback]

Part blank because I didn't really know much about it.

[Danny Heifetz]

Everyone's a critic. I couldn't believe all the. Yeah, it's pretty sloppy.

[Danny Kelly]

We're not that far from Stonehenge now. Should we go? Oh my God, no.

[Danny Heifetz]

That's the other thing. You know, there's other henges, there's all kinds of things.

[Danny Kelly]

Right. We learned that. I thought it was kind of just the one.

[Craig Rollback]

Right.

[Danny Heifetz]

The other thing that blew my mind is that there's a. If we had a little more time here, I think it's like an hour outside the city. We could have gone, but we didn't really have time. But there's a tomb here that is roughly the same in some ways older than some of the pyramids. It's like an eight. Because I didn't realize that Ireland. You think of it obviously as like Catholic, but before, I mean, I didn't realize that's actually what St. Patrick's is. St. Patrick kind of brought Catholicism to Ireland, but it was pagan before. Before and the pagan culture is very old. And I didn't realize, like, I guess, I don't know, because it was an island. I didn't really. It's like 10,000 years of paganism here. And I. I don't know. That's never thought about that tomb, you're saying. Yeah, they think. And so I. I wish we could have gone, but just another like, notch in the bell of like how many times I always talk to you guys. My mind's always blown by the fact that like, of recorded history that we know of, like civilization, I guess, around, like settlements and stuff that we know of. It's kind of half Egypt and half everything after Egypt. And the idea that there was also just. Yeah. Like this tomb older than pyramids. I'm like, what?

[Danny Kelly]

Every time, mind, every time I visit a new country, it's always tough because I. I have such a good time. But then all. Basically what you learn once you visit for like a week is that there's so much more to see and you just need to come back.

[Danny Heifetz]

Well, you feel. I feel like when you travel more, you feel like the world. You feel like you've seen less of the world. Totally. Like, yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

And so now I'm like, well, yeah, we spent four days in Dublin, but there is so much more obviously to explore in Ireland. Now I want to come back and spend two weeks here and travel all around.

[Danny Heifetz]

Anything else from this trip?

[Danny Kelly]

Bill Murray was down in.

[Craig Rollback]

Oh, yeah. He was Dingle.

[Danny Kelly]

Apparently singing in some part.

[Craig Rollback]

I think he's going to be at the game.

[Danny Kelly]

He's supposed to be at the game.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

Allegedly.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

With. Well, I guess people would have saw it already. I guess we would have talked about it on Sunday.

[Craig Rollback]

Right.

[Danny Heifetz]

So we can. And the other thing, Obama. Just the 20 minutes before we got to the bar on Friday night, Obama just drove by and waved to people in line at the pizza restaurant because he got some.

[Craig Rollback]

You saw him?

[Danny Heifetz]

No, but yeah, other people were like, just getting a slice of pizza. Yeah. And Brooke's husband was like, is that Barack Obama? And she turns and Obama's just waving out of the van. That's very. Oh, and it's.

[Danny Kelly]

Is that Barack Obama?

[Danny Heifetz]

Well, it's because. Well, it's like. I mean, six Cadillac.

[Danny Kelly]

Wow.

[Craig Rollback]

I can actually see him smoking a stage.

[Danny Heifetz]

Smoking a jet. Just licking the Sig. Yeah. Just rolling itself. Roll on at the corner. Even Springsteen with a spice bag. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Anything else in Ireland while we're here?

[Craig Rollback]

No.

[Danny Heifetz]

Loved it.

[Craig Rollback]

Looking forward to coming back.

[Danny Heifetz]

This is our last show from Dublin. Even though we still are going to record a show on Sunday. This is the last one we're publishing. And I just want to reiterate. Great. Thank you. To like a thousand people for all this, like, thank you, YouTube. I mean, on Carlos, who's been unbelievable and had the courage to stand up against the Guinness. Bex here behind the camera, who has just been. Bex is just an absolute wizard. Just been, I guess witch technically, but it's been unbelievable. Bex is just actually amazing. Just shout. I mean, Connor, Nevins, Bill, obviously Jeff, like, everyone at the ringer, Mal, Mal, Sean, everyone of the ringer who like, was like, yeah, this is a good idea and go do it. Shout out to Sonny at the NFL, who really. Yeah, really with us at first meeting us and then really pitched us on this being worth it. He was totally right. Thank you to Rob at Kennedy's for setting that up.

[Danny Kelly]

Shout out to Sunny's friend Hugh, who is the reason why Sunny listened to our show.

[Danny Heifetz]

Tom at the NFL, like a bunch of every. Literally everyone in Dublin who like, gave us recommendations. I'm not going to lie. I weighed a lot if people who emailed in were like, I was there for three days a year ago. I appreciate your emails. We didn't really take your advice as much, but anyone who lives here or ever lived here, we really read. Like, no offense to the people who visited three days, but when we got like 100 emails from people lived in Dublin for any amount of time, like, we really appreciate it. Perhaps most of all, I want to shout out Matt, who is the one. Matt and Alan. No, Alan in particular is the one who said we should go to her.

[Craig Rollback]

The hurling thing.

[Danny Heifetz]

Matt Allen. I'm not. I guess I shouldn't read his last name, but Alan, you know who you are.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Heifetz]

He's the one who said, go to the hurling match on Saturday. Best time ever.

[Danny Kelly]

Like, the locals were like tickled and. And that. We went. I feel like, you know.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, well, we try. Yeah, we were dumb, but they appreciate dumb if it's earnest. And yeah, like, really wanted to learn about hurling and we did, actually. And so it was fun. Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah. We were asking them all about the rules. They were very, very generous and, you.

[Craig Rollback]

Know, willing to play so much time with us.

[Danny Kelly]

It was crazy.

[Craig Rollback]

They didn't have to do that.

[Danny Kelly]

No.

[Danny Heifetz]

So anyone who played a part in this trip, like, we really appreciate this was like really a privilege. And it was like a ton. It was so much fun. It was so worth it. And so, yeah, this was awesome.

[Danny Kelly]

The number one person we have to than all of this.

[Danny Heifetz]

Thank you, Lord, Lord.

[Craig Rollback]

Thank you, the Chieftains.

[Danny Kelly]

Nice Irish music we've been playing. All of our Instagrams have had strictly Irish Bands.

[Danny Heifetz]

Chieftains. I don't. I don't know who the Chieftains are.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, they've been around forever. They. They play traditional Irish music. I actually played them to Calvin when he was a baby.

[Danny Heifetz]

That was like pre Misty Mountains.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, it was like. It's in the same style of Misty Mountains we had played in the morning when he's like eating breakfast. It like seemed to calm him down.

[Danny Kelly]

Down.

[Craig Rollback]

And so I have very fond memories of the Chieftains music.

[Danny Kelly]

And yeah, this is a bit of a pivot, but every time you say every miss, anytime Misty Mountains comes up, unfortunately.

[Craig Rollback]

Think of the porn star.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, I think of. I think. I think of the nice guys. The movie.

[Craig Rollback]

Right, right.

[Danny Kelly]

Where it's all about the porn star named Misty Mountains who dies.

[Danny Heifetz]

Oh, my God. I never thought of that. I never thought about that.

[Danny Kelly]

It's a great porn name.

[Danny Heifetz]

Get careful when you're googling Misty Mountains.

[Danny Kelly]

I know. Seriously.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah, I was.

[Danny Heifetz]

But it is worth reading. Oh, we actually got five more people emailed us. Everyone, the single best emails we get. I think the number one best email is when someone says, hey, just had a baby three weeks ago. And I just in the depths of my brain at three in the morning remembered you guys said Misty Mountains from the Hobbit soundtrack. Calms the baby down. And I played it and it worked in 20 seconds.

[Craig Rollback]

And it hypnotizes babies.

[Danny Heifetz]

It's great. We need to do the PSA one more time. If you have a baby and it's crying, that song calms it. I don't know what the rhythmic chanting, the way you put it is. Is like it just calms the baby down.

[Craig Rollback]

It's deep, guttural humming and it just calms. I think it, like, it's literally a calming agent for like a baby.

[Danny Heifetz]

Yeah, for. I would say between two out of three to maybe even three out of four people who try it. It seems to work like, just based.

[Craig Rollback]

Anecdotally on the feedback we've gotten. It's like 75.

[Danny Heifetz]

Even. Even my friend Jackson, who had a kid, I played. We. I picked him up at the airport. It's like a two hour drive back with traffic and like, like played it. That worked. It was incredible.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Deep guttural humming like.

[Danny Heifetz]

And big mouthfuls. Generous mouthfuls with the deep guttural mountains.

[Danny Kelly]

Big generous mouthfuls.

[Danny Heifetz]

Anyone with the baby do it? Yeah, but no, the Irish folk music has been incredible. Honest. Walking to a pub and they're just like playing folk music is like the best.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Oh, yeah. Wait, one tiny quick thing when we went to Long Haul, you probably didn't notice because you left quickly. No music in the bar, which I loved. It was amazing.

[Danny Heifetz]

You think that's what Springsteen loves about it?

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, probably.

[Craig Rollback]

Finally I can get away.

[Danny Kelly]

It was great. You could hear each other talk. I'm a big fan of that.

[Craig Rollback]

Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

For the right type of bar.

[Danny Heifetz]

I think that with bars can be.

[Craig Rollback]

Very awkward if it's not the right type of bar.

[Danny Kelly]

Totally. I totally agree. But there. There is a certain type of bar where I actually think it enhances the experience.

[Danny Heifetz]

We need a system of rate. Like, there's all these, like, metrics we have for, like when you Google map or whatever, a bar. And like, you need to think of how loud is the music. On a scale of. Of 10 being like a EDM rave where you have to go to the bathroom to hear something to a one which is like a library. And we need a system to explain. Like, can you take your grandparents here with hearing aids to like, can we have a convers? If you go to dinner, it's like a Richter scale. Yeah. Will you be able to hear the people on the end of the table or just the people next to you? Like, I need to get.

[Danny Kelly]

I want to be a bar consultant. I just want to go around to bars and kind of offer up suggestions.

[Craig Rollback]

You should name a show called Bar Rescue.

[Danny Heifetz]

We should. Yeah.

[Danny Kelly]

Oh, that's good.

[Craig Rollback]

Maybe it's good.

[Danny Kelly]

Yeah, I like that it's good.

[Craig Rollback]

And then you could also add spice.

[Danny Heifetz]

Spice bags at the end. Okay. Ch this out. We have an idea. Goodbye, everyone.
