Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Intro to the Couple and Concept (02:15–04:59)

• Ben and Ronnie set the stage: a Calgary couple moving to Dublin—“Canadian Midwestern accents and Irish accents. I'm in.” (02:45, Ben)
• The couple, Sean (the smiling optimist) and Terry (the more pragmatic), are seen using public park exercise equipment, which the hosts immediately mock as a waste of tax dollars.
  • Ronnie: “My taxes are fucking paying for that. Fuck you guys. … I'm not paying taxes anymore. Disgusting.” (03:52)
• Terry gets ice cream on Sean’s face; he retaliates aggressively—prompting suspicion.
  • Ronnie: “That’s the first time I thought, he’s an abuser.” (04:59)
  • Ben: “Who does that?” (05:01)

2. Their Backstory, Friend-Suggested Life Choices, and “Trouble Ahead” (05:05–11:13)

• The backstory: they worked together in a newsroom, only realizing their chemistry because friends pointed it out (06:33–07:19).
  • Quote: “This couple only does things that their friends suggest.” – Ronnie (08:07)
• The move is prompted by a suggestion that Sean qualifies for Irish citizenship—and, again, a friend's advice.
• Terry’s previous international adventures also happened because of a friend (“I didn’t even know I liked croissants ... My friend said, you are going to like it.”) (09:03–09:38)
• The hosts anticipate disaster since the couple is ignoring the universal wisdom not to marry, change homes, and change jobs in the same year.
  • Ronnie: “This is a recipe for disaster.” (05:44)

3. Fish Out of Water and Relationship Dynamics (11:38–13:51)

• Ben and Ronnie riff on how Terry always listens to her friends' advice, from education to life choices—her decision to go back to school is also due to a friend's suggestion.
• Sean is labeled a “smiling Jack o’lantern,” as his positivity comes off as naive to the hosts.
• They riff on Canadian stereotypes, making jokes about bringing Avril Lavigne, Alanis Morissette CDs, and the joys of shuffleboard in Ireland.

4. The Relocation Specialist & House Hunting Begins (13:55–17:56)

• Enter Leslie Light, the “relocation specialist” with an incredulous name.
  • Ronnie: “Are you fucking kidding me? ... She’s not even a real estate agent.” (13:06–13:13)
• Sean prioritizes proximity to pubs over all else, whereas Terry wants "Irish charm."
  • Ronnie: “That guy would move into a keg if you’d let him.” (24:45)
• Ben and Ronnie mock the tendency of American House Hunters to demand overt local “charm” in their rentals abroad.

5. House 1: No Irish Charm “High Spec” Apartment (18:44–21:26)

• Modern apartment, $1,800, “no Irish charm.”
  • Terry’s concerned about the lack of character, and the hosts point out the irony given her choice in partner.
  • The kitchen is minuscule: “It’s like an airplane kitchen ... There needs to be laws, like dog crates. Your dog should at least be able to turn around the crate.” – Ronnie (21:05)
  • Sean claims, “How much space do we really need?” to which the hosts respond that Terry needs a place to hide from him. (21:05–21:22)

6. House 2: The “Mews” Property—Charm & Compromises (32:32–39:45)

• A converted stable (mews) with loads of character, $2,100, but only one bathroom—located through the bedroom.
  • Quote (Ben): “He’s like, oh God ... now if my parents come, they're gonna have to trample through the bedroom just to get here.” (37:15)
• Ronnie explains the real inconvenience of this layout: “It’s not only ... they might see me naked or whatever. It's that your mom is gonna ... linger a poop. And you’re just stuck ... with your parent poop in the house.” (38:21)

7. House 3: The Boring Suburban Option (43:35–46:56)

• Modern, further out, $1,900—a “meh” apartment that feels just like home, which no one wants.
  • Ben: “If you’re an expat, what’s the point of just moving to the suburbs?” (44:18)
• It’s low on “charm,” high on storage (“so much cupboard space!”), but the hosts agree the character is lacking.

8. The Choice & Three Months Later (48:02–50:47)

• After much debate over charm/location vs. functional layout, the couple choose House 1. The hosts think this is a mistake given Sean’s and Terry’s divergent needs, but concede House 1 is cute and well-located.
  • “He hates the bathroom situation [in House 2]. And so ... they go for house number one. I could not believe it.” – Ben (48:33)
• Flash-forward: Sean & Terry have made the apartment homey, are biking around Dublin, and Sean has made family connections.
  • Ben jokes about a pilfered mirror from House 3 showing up in their apartment.

On House Hunter Tropes:

• Ben: “There’s always someone who’s like, ‘I just want this country in every single fixture around me.’ ... You’re in Ireland.” (23:50–24:09)
• Ronnie: “I feel like other countries aren’t like, ‘Wow, I just wish this place was more American.’” (24:21)

Irish & Canadian Stereotypes/Humor:

Tone & Takeaways

The episode is a riot of sarcasm, affection, and reality TV satire. The hosts turn even mundane house features or wedding advice into comic gold, all while keeping up friendly mockery of Sean and Terry’s decision-making and personalities.
Listeners walk away feeling like they’ve just watched the episode themselves—except with all the best jokes and homeowners’ neuroses spelled out.

---

Final Thoughts:
The hosts conclude that, while the couple chose practicality over “Irish charm,” their story is relatable for any expat or couple making a big life leap—and that “as always, we mock because we love.” If you love house hunting, relationship drama, or just need a laugh about the perils of moving abroad, this is a Dwell Hello classic.

Hello and welcome to Duel. Hello, it's our watcher Crappin's House Hunters podcast. I'm Ben. That's Ronnie. How's it going, Ronnie?

[C]

Dude. Bra. Dude. Bra.

[D]

Bra.

[C]

I'm doing so great. I'm like watching these House Hunters episodes and just dreaming of travel and what a sign. Today we're doing one that takes place in Dublin and and we talked on our bonus episode last week how we want to travel but we're worried about there not being Internet, et cetera, et cetera. We have to do crappings. And someone said, you know where the wi fi is really great. You guys should go live. Dublin, really. And this is what happened. So we're going to Dublin, everybody. We've.

[D]

Ladies and gentlemen, right now.

[C]

Dublin.

[D]

Dublin. Yes. This episode that we're recap gets from House Hunters International Season 187, Episode 12 on YouTube TV. It's called Finding family in Dublin. I'm sure it's on max. Also, the keywords there. Finding family in Dublin. And basically the. The. The reasoning behind choosing this episode was it's a duo from Calgary moving to Dublin. I thought, wow, Canadian Midwestern accents and Irish accents. I'm in.

[C]

You know, I think that that's a pretty good way to look at it. I will also have to say I'm gonna be terrible at this. I'm just gonna. Straight up Midwestern.

[D]

I'm straight up Midwestern and then cartoon Irish. And I apologize to all people involved already. It's the limitations. I cannot find subtlety in my accents. Okay, so first. So there's the couple. It's Sean and Terry, okay? And it's not a gay couple. It's Terry's a lady. And Sean and Terry. We see them. They're like, you know, you ever see those parks where they have, like, public exercise machines? It's almost gross.

[C]

Disgusting. My taxes are fucking paying for that. Fuck you guys. No, I'm not voting anymore. You know what? I'm not only not voting, I'm not paying taxes anymore. Disgusting.

[D]

So there's like this sort of like, analog elliptical machine, and Sean and Terry are playing with it. They're trying to figure it out. They don't know how it works. Like, I think it's broken. And they're. They're fussing around with it. So already I'm like, oh, God, these two. These two.

[C]

And the narrator, Linda, is like newlyweds. Sean and Terry are entering unfamiliar territory. The exercise machine. You are so cold, lady. Like, I've never heard such a rude fucking person as a narrator. Like, look at Sean finally learning how to exercise. Wow.

[D]

Leave it up to Sean to exercise in a public park and be too cheap to join a Bally's.

[C]

And then they're showing how much in love they are. So now they're still in the park, but now they're eating ice cream. And she gets a little ice cream on his nose. And then he laughs, like, way too hard and then starts rubbing his nose into her face as she gets ice cream all over her face. And that's the first time I thought, he's an abuser.

[D]

Who does that?

[C]

There was something really offensive about it. I didn't like it. I thought he was too aggressive.

[D]

Linda's like, they're leaving Calgary to explore his Irish roots in Dublin, which apparently means spreading ice cream all over each other's faces. So congratulations, you two.

[C]

If your family hates you so much in America, just go look for new ones in Dublin. What about their family in America? Nobody cares about that matter are in Dublin, okay? This guy's a monster. I'm telling you. He laughed too hard to not be a monster.

[D]

Yeah. So we see then Terry in the car saying, our wedding planner said, we can't get married, we can't change jobs, and we can't change homes in the same year. And we're like, we're doing all three. What could go wrong? I'm like, everything. Everything can go wrong.

[C]

Everything can go wrong. And I hope you're ready to call your fucking divorce planner, because if there's anyone in life you should listen to, it's your goddamn wedding planner. They do this for a living. You're just going to ignore your wedding, okay? You're going to get married, you're going to not follow the advice of your wedding planner, and then you're going to let this man take you to Dublin. And you're not going to work at the same time. This is a recipe for disaster. Yeah.

[D]

So we are here in Dublin, and Terry and Sean are walking over a pedestrian bridge or just some bridge. They're walking over a river, I should say, on a bridge. And Terry looks at the river and goes, so you think he could swim in it? He's like, oh, I have my doubts, but maybe, okay, well, I'm just going to push you in and, you know, if you die, you die, I guess, huh? Have fun, baby.

[C]

And he tells us. We met in Canada. We were working in a newsroom. I was a journalist there. And Terry's like. I was a reporter, and Sean's like. And we were just friends. And then someone said, you guys are not just friends. And this cracked me up. The timing of this. We watch this on YouTube TV. So we're watching it on HGTV and a logo popped up really big on the bottom right of the screen that says, good bones. You are not just friends. Good bones. You're good bones as well. Stop lying to us.

[D]

Oh, I remember the day. Just like yesterday. I was doing a report about a moose that stormed through A Tim Hortons. And my friend said, listen, I know this is an important report, but let's talk about the fact that there are sparks between you and Sean.

[C]

They said, you guys are good bones. Yeah. We kind of looked at each other and we were like, oh. Oh. Everyone thought. Everyone thought it was the worst kept secret ever, but we just figured it out.

[D]

And then I took my ice cream and I shoved it in his face and he smiled, and I thought, maybe this is a relationship I can have.

[C]

Then he rubbed it back in my face with his own face. And I thought, wow, this guy can give it. Sure as he can get it. Give it. He can give it as well as he can get it.

[D]

That's for sure.

[C]

I love a verse. Ice cream shover.

[D]

Sean's like, so I always knew my granddad's from Ireland. He's really cheery by the way he smiles the entire episode. I always knew my granddad's from Ireland. And we had a friend of ours say, hey, I think you qualify for Irish citizenship. Now can you take me through the hospital? That hockey puck went right through my mouth.

[C]

And I was like, oh, that's cool. Okay, so this couple only does things that their friends suggest. Have you noticed that? I mean, we're like one minute into the episode. So far, they didn't even know they liked each other until a friend told them. And then they moved to Ireland because a friend told them that he has citizenship there. What the fuck you do?

[D]

Well, I've never lived internationally. The closest I ever came was one time putting a foot into Saskatchewan. So I've always been in Canada, so I was really looking for a change.

[C]

Yeah, you know, I've never been to Dublin, but I kind of think that would be the connection to my family, you know, because look at these cobblestone streets. I can imagine my grandpa walking on these streets. I can imagine my grandpa on a choo choo train throwing bricks at strangers. It doesn't mean I should do it.

[D]

Terry says, you know, going north and meeting your family, visiting the house your granddad grew up in, that'd be pretty cool. He's like, yeah, that'd be pretty surreal. You know, hey, are you an o'?

[C]

Tool?

[D]

Are you? Are you?

[C]

And so Terry is telling us, I've lived internationally before. I loved it. Every day was different. My friend abroad told me, you know, she said. She told me over croissants in Paris, you know, Terry, you should go back to Canada. So I did, you know, I didn't even know I liked croissants. Except we were in Paris and my friend said, you should have a croissant. I said, I don't know, but I don't like how they're spelled. They're spelled in a confusing way. She said, you. You are gonna like it. And then I ate it. And she was right. I love croissants.

[D]

Now, I was in. I was in Paris experiencing a sexual blossoming in my youth. And I was saying, this is fun. But then my friend, my friend Michelle said, you know, you're a little too boring for this city. So isn't there someone back in Canada named Cal or Gary that you can be with? And I thought, God, why not both? So I went to Calgary, and that's where I met Sean.

[C]

Yeah, I think listening to her stories about living abroad are just so fascinating. Tell them. Tell them the one about how you like croissants in Paris. I just said that, Hannah. That's true.

[D]

So we were cooped up. We were cooped up in Covid, you know, for so long. I mean, have you ever spent three years just smiling at your loved one and watching them smile back at you, and all you do is just sit there in silence and smile at each other? Man, that was fun. So we were looking for adventure. I mean, it's hard to tap the smiling thing, but we're pretty sure we could find something that comes pretty close. Maybe in Ireland.

[C]

I was looking for a full time, full time job in technology. And Tara's like, well, you know, I didn't really know what to do. But then a friend of mine said, you should go back to school. And guess what? I'm going to go back and get a master's in health and education. I was just going to do health, but my friend said, God, you'd be good at education.

[D]

Yeah, I mean, I had a successful job going on on air in Calgary's, you know, action. No, say, you know, reporting on, you know, the latest maple leaf drought, but, you know, who cares about a successful on air career when, you know, Rosalind says you could go to school instead in a foreign. So guess I'm doing that instead.

[C]

And Sean goes, yeah, it was. It was like a now or never kind of thing. No, it's not. Is Dublin closing? The fuck are you talking about? It's now or never. No, it's not. She can go later. You leave her career alone. I'm very offended by this person. And he's still smiling like a fucking Jack o' lantern too, by the way.

[D]

It's okay. I'm gonna bring all my Avril Lavigne and Alanis Morissette CDs with me. And we'll feel a little bit like we're at home, even though we're in Dublin.

[C]

So they go, this is the most adventurous thing I've ever done. I don't just go with the flow. And Terry goes, yeah. He's like, let's go with the flow. But hey, what time does the flow start?

[D]

That's also what he says every time a commercial break starts. He's always afraid he'll miss another progressive. What time is flow coming on? So they. They now they're playing at a shuffleboard table in Ireland, and Terry's like, hey, Sean. So I know we were planning on having dinner, but they said we should play shuffleboard. So here we are. You. Do you know how to play this game? Is this like, where we get a bunch of cards and we just shuffle them until we get bored?

[C]

Let's look it up on the Internet before we look stupid. I don't want to. I don't want to do anything too risky, you know? And she's like, yeah, because I'm like, freaking out in my head and overthinking. But then he brings me back down to earth and says things like, you'll a reporter on national news. Oh, heck no. So we have savings, but I've always brought in my own money. And so now I'm relinquishing control, and that's gonna be an adjustment. So Sean goes, yeah, I think we're both excited. I don't think you're both excited. I think she's gonna go fucking crazy. The first second you're like, do you really need that sweater on? She's gonna be like, I was on the news in Calgary. You're fuck.

[D]

Also, now we're going to go meet with a realtor who might not actually be a real person because her name is Leslie Light. Is that a real person?

[C]

Are you fucking kidding me?

[D]

I love.

[C]

Her name is Leslie Light, and she's not even a real estate agent. She's a relocation specialist.

[D]

Oh, I didn't realize.

[C]

Yes, Leslie Light. I love Leslie just, like, I don't need a license to do shit. Hey, guess, guess what. I'm not going to go get a master's in relocation specializing. I just made it up myself.

[D]

So then meet with Les. Leslie Light. And Terry's like, so I really want to be near Dublin City University. I'm not sure if I'm going to get in there, but I just want to be near it because I like being close to universities. And she's like, you know, I figure I have to do something with myself before coming here. Am I right? Okay. Hey, is there a Tim Hortons in Dublin? Because I'm. I'm punch number nine out of ten.

[C]

Do most run through your time? Your Tim Hortons here, yes or no?

[D]

Hey, is there gonna be a Bryan Adams concert? Anytime?

[C]

And Leslie's like, they're a really fun couple, and I think they'll do great in Dublin. I think Dublin is a complexity, so commuting times are slower, you know, employment's high. It's a vibrant city center.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

No, no. What do you think? I don't know.

[D]

I thought you were gonna say some more. On behalf of Leslie Light, I apologize that I'm actually.

[C]

I just started thinking that's why I was like, it's Leslie lying to me. I've always heard really good things about Dublin, but I don't trust a place where someone goes, you know what's great here? Light traffic.

[D]

Well, she's. Well, because she says the city is really compact. So therefore, like you like there. Because it's so compact. It's so compact that you can. Like the. The public transportation. No, it's. Well, it's complex emotionally, but in terms of actual space, it's pretty. It's pretty compact. So you can. Makes much more sense.

[C]

Lights are on, traffic.

[D]

You can get to the Enya. You can go from the Enya concert to the U2 concert in five minutes flat.

[C]

Terry's like, you know, it'd be nice to have two bedrooms. And Sean's like, yeah, well, you know what else is nice? Our house in Calgary was central to lots of alcohol. Are we gonna get. Sorry, I was trying to be Leslie Light there. Are we gonna be able to be close to pubs? Because that's really what I'm here for. Pubs. Is my face red yet? Should be where Dad's was. Our.

[D]

Our house in Calgary was. God, we were right down there in the theater district. God, I mean, I could have you walk out the door. You could just go see kittens, which, of course, is the Calgary version of Cats. Just a little bit more adorable and sweeter.

[C]

It's Calgary. Broadway instead of Wicked. We just have wick. It's about. It's about a green candle getting real mad at people, but you understand where it's coming from by the end.

[D]

Yeah. You know, you should see the Calgary version of Hamilton. It's basically the same thing as the American version, except everyone who's performing is on a Toboggan.

[C]

They're all played by ham. Different.

[D]

It's actually Canadian Hamilton. It sort of reminds you of bacon. So, anyway, so is there anything you can't live without but sort of seems like you're living without as it is? And Terry is like, well, you know, I like. I like feeling cozy and cute and, like, I kind of like having a little bit of. I guess, I don't know. Could I have some Irish charm? Just, you know, just to feel like we're living here? Leslie's like, okay, hold on one second. Here you go. A bar of Irish Spring soap. Get out of my face, you fuck. That fucker.

[C]

I know Sean maybe doesn't care about charm, but I really care about Irish charm. And Sean's like, I'd be fine with modern. Really. You know, I really. I love modern stuff. I always think to myself, God, I wonder if my. My grandpa was modern. I bet my grandpa was the first person with a phonograph.

[D]

So Leslie says, well, this is gonna be a little tricky to manage. They just don't have enough money to get everything that they want. I mean, Terry's school's on the north side, and so we're just gonna start there and find a cardboard box they can move into.

[C]

Oh, so they want to stay at 1900. And Leslie Light's like, do you have any wiggle room there? Because that's a little tight. All right. It's as compact as the city. It's tight. Listen, the time it's going to take you to get from cheap to cheaper is very low. That's a positive.

[D]

Okay? When I asked about wiggle room, doesn't mean I wanted you to shake your stomach, Sean.

[C]

I would like a room to listen to the Wiggles in. You know, I wasn't into them till my friend Denise was. She had kids. I love them. I love a Wiggles room. We can wear different colored T shirts on different days. God, that would be fun. I want to sing a song about flowers. The Wiggles room.

[D]

So they go to a neighborhood called Smithfield Market in the heart of the city. And let's, like, saw. This area has been completely regenerated in recent years, as you can see. And she just points to, like, some planters. Look, someone put a plant in a planter. This neighborhood has totally turned around.

[C]

Yeah, look at that. It's a plant growing. It used to be a historic horse market.

[D]

You know, there used to be a homeless person here, but now there's a plant. We've turned this entire neighborhood around, and.

[C]

Sean's like, ah, this is what I. This is what I envisioned, you know, when I came here. Except, hold on. In my vision, my grandpa was passing by a horse. I just said it was a historic horse district. Yeah, dumbass.

[D]

Did they ever trade moose here, too, or is it just horses?

[C]

So they go to House 1, Northside Home. It's a new apartment building. It's quite harsh, fake. And Terry's like, I don't think you're. I don't think that's very nice. And she's like, hi, Spec. It's all looking very good. You're going to love it in here. Get on in here. So, Terry, the thing they put on.

[D]

Screen, though, when they say house one, they, you know, they put the little stats. It says, one bed, one bath, eighteen hundred dollars. And then it says, no Irish charm. I was like, wow, they just really pass judgment right there. Hi, this is Linda. I make these titles also. I'm just going to tell you all. I can tell by the outside this has no Irish charm. Good luck.

[C]

But didn't you say this place was highly despicable? I said high spec, you dumbass.

[D]

Does that mean it has a lot of breakfast meats? No, not spec. Like that.

[C]

So let's see here. Terry's like, oh, gosh, I'm just worried about there not being any character. Well, it didn't seem to bother you when you were choosing a husband, did it? You married Sean, for crying out loud.

[D]

So they go in. I just want to say, just in general, this entire episode, the houses they go to take about 30 seconds of screen time because they're all about 10 square feet.

[C]

They really are.

[D]

It's so quick. So they go in and there's like this. It's got high ceilings and there's this really teeny, tiny first room you walk into. And then Terry's like, oh, God, I don't know. It's pretty small. And then I'm worried about what will happen when we fill it up with clutter and everything like that. I mean, you've got your whole John Candy DVD collection that's going to take up a whole bunch.

[C]

I think we're only going to be able to fit planes, trains in here. You're going to get automobiles in this living room. I mean, it only fits a coach. And look at that. The ceilings are taller than. The room is wide. It sort of feels like we've been thrown down a hole, honestly.

[D]

So, you know, I feel like I'm actually living in a hockey stick. So Sean goes, yeah, but it's Just the two of us. How much space do we really need?

[C]

She's like, okay, well, like, six foot six. Could you please not talk about how much room you don't need? I hate when people do that. You know, you're the tiny one. How much room do you need? Like you're giant, sir. I need room, okay? I need room to get away from you. I married you. Okay. I need somewhere to hide. You're terrifying.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Smile away from me at least five minutes a day.

[D]

So then the kitchen is, like, behind this wall. I don't know why that that wall is even there. It is. So it's like this. It's like an airplane kitchen. It's like a galley, but it is. There's. They should have just opened up that wall or something.

[C]

I don't think you can even turn around in there. Like, there needs to be laws, like dog crates. Your dog should at least be able to turn around the crate. You can't turn around in this little hallway.

[D]

No, it makes no sense. And Tara's like, well, I guess only one person. One person cooking only. That's gonna be Sean, because I'm going to school. Also, our friend said that Sean should cook more. So he's on the stovetop.

[C]

And Sean's like, I keep a level head, and that gets us through issues. And she's like, yeah, Sean's a planner. And I just show up and I'm like, wait a minute. What are we going to be doing today? And Sean's like, cool. I know my strengths and my weaknesses, okay? My strengths. Cooking. My weaknesses. I never cook. I'm always at the pub. Can we be honest about this yet? Because I'm in. Aki. Let me just say it right now. I'm a dry drunk right now, okay?

[D]

My. My strength is moving to where my grandpa used to be from. And my weakness is probably being a reporter because now I'm going into tech. So apparently that didn't really work out so well for me. Huh.

[C]

Yeah, I didn't do so good at that job. And they go to look at the bedroom, and Leslie's like, ah, it's a little small, but maybe I could get some bedside lockers there for you. I'll put. Put that smile into possibly for a night before you terrify the whole goddamn neighborhood. And Terry's like, well, you know, I used to be a news reporter. We know you've mentioned. Well, yeah, but I was a news reporter, and I used to have a whole room just to get ready in. That's not gonna Happen here, I guess.

[D]

Look at Diva T. Know, I don't wanna impress everyone in but Leslie, have you ever filed a report on K D Lang? Because I certainly did. Just saying.

[C]

So Leslie's like, well, I've got a news report for you. You're not working anywhere and you need one pair of jogging pants and two hair ties and a bra. That's what you need.

[D]

So then Terry does the thing where she says, I don't, I mean, I don't know, it doesn't scream like, we're in a new country. Open up a window and see the new country that's outside. Okay?

[C]

Someone will be down there screaming, up, stop it. American motherfucks. You'll know we.

[D]

You don't need. It's so funny how this happens. Every House Hunter international episode, there's always someone who's like, just has this beef. Like, I just want, I just want this country and every single fixture around me. You don't need it. Like, you don't need that in your kitchen. You can have a perfectly modern house. You're in Ireland.

[C]

And you know what? I feel like it's unfair too, because I feel like people from other countries don't do that with America. I feel like they're. I feel like other countries aren't like, wow. I just wish this place was more American.

[D]

I wish this felt more like Phoenix, Arizona.

[C]

I wish, I wish my home felt more like a strip mall.

[D]

Seriously. So Sean is like, he said, well, you know what? For me, the location's great because, like, you know, just outside your door, there's like tons of pubs and restaurants where you can sort of drink away the sorrows of a failed reporting career, you know.

[C]

But where's the Irish charm? I'm worried about the size and also the Irish charm. You know what, I'm really concerned that he loves it this much this fast. I mean, I want to keep an open minded. You know, that guy would move into a keg if you'd let him.

[D]

So Leslie's like, well, Terry is a little bit more interested in the historical side of Dublin, or at least she just likes some sort of Disneyland version of it. So I think this property coming up has loads of character, or at least it has a box of Lucky Charms in it that'll probably do her over.

[C]

So they're in a restaurant and Terry's like, I've got something on my face. And they like laugh and get all romantic. And she's like, well, we got married in the Canadian Rockies and that's where we announced that's when we were announcing that we were moving, I said, you're dating. You know, when you're dating someone, everyone asks you when you're getting married. When you get married, everyone asks why you're having when you're having a baby. And when you're having a baby, everyone asks, did you know you married a man child? And when you realize you married a man child, you're stuck without a job and a way out of your closet kitchen. And when you're stuck in your closet kitchen with no way out, and you try to stick your head down the garbage display disposal, but that doesn't fit. And then when your husband sees you with the chopped hair from the garbage disposal, he starts cheating on you with a red headed lady named Lucy. And you decide to go back and tell all your friends who suggested you marry this beta to die in their sleep. I forgot what I was talking about. But this place is kind of smile.

[D]

So with that being said, now that we're married, I said, join us and raise a glass because we are expensive expecting to move to Ireland. No one laughed. But then that's because all our guests were just Canadian geese.

[C]

And one dead moose that tried to make it through a Tim Hortons. God, that was sad.

[D]

That was sad. I had to leave the wedding early just to report on it.

[C]

I wanted to go to a place that wouldn't allow shun guns. You know, those get scary. People are just trying to have their coffee, you know, so they're, they're laughing over Guinnesses and Sean's like, turning over in a new country can be. Turning over in a new country can be scary. Sorry. Yeah, that was my grandpa Pat coming out there. You know, turning over in a new country can be scary. But I want to learn about my granddad's life, you know, because there's like this fear of the unknown. Could you imagine this fucking oaf showing up to your house like, where Canadian Chris Pratt.

[D]

Is Chris Pratt already Canadian? Actually, he might be.

[C]

I don't know. But I am dying to do this. I'm going to go to Lebanon. I'm going to. First of all, the name Kerem. From what my grandparents told me, the name Kerem in Lebanon is like Smith. Like, everybody's a Karim in Lebanon. I'm just going to go there and be like, are you a Karim? I'm Ronnie. You're my cousin. Can I stay here.

[D]

Also? Do we know what's going on with his grandpa? Did we learn if the grandpa's dead or alive? Because if he's Alive, you know, Grandpa's just like, you know, you could just ask me a question, son. Is that so wrong?

[C]

There's a reason I put your family on a boat in the first place. Your father's a loser. He's always been a goddamn loot. Looks like he turned another one out. Welcome home. Why don't stories ever end like that where you go find your family? But they're fucking terrible.

[D]

Yeah, well, sort of. White Lotus had that moment.

[C]

Oh, that's true. That was hilarious, actually. Yeah.

[D]

So, yeah. So he's like, yeah, I think the biggest. The biggest risk of the move for us is there's a little bit of a say. There's a big. There's a big. Sorry, I had Grandpa Pat came through my mouth again. There's a little bit of a fear of the unknown, you know, and like, what. What do you do in a place where it doesn't snow all the time? And so they've never lived abroad. They're saying how they've never lived together abroad, but they're going to be starting a new chapter in a new country. And this is where Terry says, again, the thing about, like, don't. Like, don't in one year, don't get married or change jobs or change homes. They're doing all three. And Leslie.

[C]

Leslie's like, wow, that's a make or break moment. You know what?

[D]

My wedding.

[C]

Three of those. You could. This could be the end of yas, ya dumbasses.

[D]

Leslie goes, you know what my wedding planner says? Don't you ever move your seat back from your steering wheel, otherwise you're ending in divorce. So here I am, steering wheel against my boobs.

[C]

Sean's just like, damn, you're depressing. Oh, Jesus, Leslie, what the fuck? Your name is Leslie Light. Could you. Could you maybe be nicer to us? Just saying this could lead to murder. It's bad luck, doing all three things in one year. We believe in luck in Ireland.

[D]

Guess what?

[C]

You got not luck. You got not the luck of the Irish. All right? I see it all the time. Young couple moves here, wife stuck at home, used to getting dressed in a bedroom full of news clothes, then suddenly dead. Bottom of the lake. Turns out you can't swim in it. Spoiler alert.

[D]

That's what we call light in Ireland. You want to hear about. You want to hear. You want to hear a sad story? You think that was me being sad? Here's a sad story. Your name is Leslie Light, and you've got a wonderful sister. And that sister leaves you. Leaves you behind. And moves to America, becomes a big famous woman. Her name is Judith. Yes, that's right. That's my. You want to know who the boss is? Apparently not me, because she forgot all about me here in Dublin. That. Now that Assad.

[C]

I said, go ahead and marry him. You're as good as Tony Dunzer. All right, so Sean's like, sink or swim, am I right? Or hold your spouse's head under the water. God, she did just suggest murder. That's all I'm going to think about for the rest of this episode.

[D]

All right now. So now that we've had a good laugh at our families, we're in Georgian Dublin. As you can see, beautiful architecture here. And Sean, I can already see in your eyes, this is not Georgia, America, north of Georgia, in Central Europe or Eastern Europe.

[C]

This is just the sun. Georgia by Ray Charles. It's not that one yet. Dumb, dumb.

[D]

It's an architectural style.

[C]

Well, I don't see any pubs here. Take off for sake. It's called drying out. Try it. All right.

[D]

What are you talking about? You're in Ireland. You're literally standing on top of a pub.

[C]

Oh, so what my panties need. All right. You're what my panties need after one Tom Jones song plays on the radio to dry out. All right.

[D]

I'm sorry, Like, so I've never been to Ireland, and this is not even.

[C]

I'm sorry. Literally, I know where I am today.

[D]

This is not coming from a place of like, oh, stereotypical. But everyone that I've. Everyone that I've spoken to has ever been to Ireland, or any Irish people will say, there's a pub on every corner in Ireland. And that's. Which I think is awesome, by the way. So why is he like, oh, I don't even see a pub. I guarantee there are pubs nearby. It's like a famous part of Irish culture, which I have, of course, never been to. So I'm speaking out of my ass.

[C]

I get the whole, like, oh, like, let's get a drink. Like, obviously, you're right. Like, I get it. But I would be worried, and I'd love to drink. I love a nice fat martini. But I would be a little worried if the person I was just married to, like, that's his number one thing. We need to be by a pub. That's not somebody who's gonna, like, be giving you what you need. I'm calling divorce. I'm calling divorce on this couple.

[D]

I mean, I understand if you want to say you want to be closer to the action and feel like, you're really being, like, innocent.

[C]

Or like, restaurants. Yeah, something, you know, but just specifically, like, pubs. He needs a pub.

[D]

So then Leslie does this pitch for the new at the new place, because. So have any of you heard about the concept of a Muse property? It's like. Oh, yeah, well, I used to host the Muse. No mules. Not news.

[C]

Anyway, okay, is where we saw Kitty in Calgary. That's it. No, you stupid Muse home. It's where people parked their horses and their hawks.

[D]

What I'm trying to say is there's no apartments in this city that weren't formerly places where horses stood around.

[C]

Do you think that I could be a host of the Muse?

[D]

No, you're fool.

[C]

Idiot. But I could. I have three. I brought three outfits. So. Hi, welcome to the Muse. Guess what? I'm Terry, and a horse used to live here. All right, over to you, Terry. Hi, I'm Terry, too. I'm also hosting at the Muse. Hey, any Hawks bring any news? Oh, here comes a hawk now. Ow, my arm. Ow, my arm. Okay, I'm gonna need some stick leaf from the museum. This really hurt.

[D]

I really like living in the Mules, but one of the problem is that I'm constantly having to give and take tickets for people who want to get their horses out of our house. So that's. It's cute, but you're on kind of horse valet duty the whole time.

[C]

So it's basically a barn, this place. And Sean's like, whoa. The character makes me worry about how modern it is. Yeah, it's a fucking barn, dude. In the mews. Okay? Get the fuck over yourself. This is the cutest street I've ever seen in my life.

[D]

This is. By the way, I love this place right here. It's so cute. And also, they put up this thing on the screen. Did you see this where Linda's like. The term mews originally referred to the royal stables where the king's hawks were kept during their molting period or mew time. So what we're trying to say is this isn't a place where just horses chat. Also, giant birds enjoy.

[C]

So this one's $2100. And Terry's like, $2100? That's not ideal. That is not ideal. We said 1900. And Sean's like, well, she's a bit worried that I'm the sole income earner. And I know she doesn't want to feel like she's just getting an allowance from old Sean. You know what I mean? Having to calm down to the pub and bust in every time she needs a stick of gum or something. This is going to be hilarious.

[D]

And she's like, you know, I think it looks great. And I love that the carrot has the character that we're talking about. And you know, it doesn't feel like anything you get back in Calgary. But to be fair, our house in Calgary is built from 100 hockey net.

[C]

So you walk in and there's a staircase right there, which is fine.

[D]

I think.

[C]

Yeah, this is what.

[D]

That's a nice split level.

[C]

If I'm. Is this a stage bl.

[D]

I think it's just two story and I think it's just, it's. It's just. Yeah, just a classic two story. But it's like a night. It's not like a shitty staircase. It's like a nice, well, well painted staircase. There's a staircase when you walk in. And then like if you don't go up the staircase, the first room you go into is a bedroom which is like a nice size. And it actually has this carpet that's kind of like a tartan pattern which I actually kind of liked. I'm like, it does like if you're gonna be in Ireland, like this is kind of nice vibe. And he's like, oh, this carpet is kind of giving me bagpipe vibes or something. You guys see the bagpipe vibe in this? I'm like, you are a bagpipe, sir.

[C]

Okay, you're giving me bagpipe vibes. So there's access to outside, but it's just like as big as the kitchen was in the last place. It's really tiny. You can barely even walk out there. And there's poop all over the ground. Which also like, I love that Leslie doesn't give a fuck. She's just like, leave the in the backyard. It's another old tool. Yeah.

[D]

And he's like, God, this got this outdoor area. I mean like you just could have room to walk outside. This is like hardly an outdoor area. I'm like, the other place didn't even have an outdoor area. There's been no. In fact no place has outdoor area except for this one.

[C]

And he goes, I don't know if I can do my morning exercises here. She goes, oh God. Like you're hopping out of bed to do that anyway for. For crying out loud. Morning exercises. You didn't even know how to use the flibberty gibbet machine in the park.

[D]

So then, so then there's a little ensuite bathroom. But it's the Only bathroom in this place. And so now he's like, that's bad. It's bad. But it's not. I don't think it's the worst because he's like, oh God. So you know what? Now like, if my parents come, they're gonna have to trample through the bedroom just to get here. And I'm like, that sucks. But I used to live in a place like that. Remember running my old place on Fuller? The bathroom was through my bedroom. And that's annoying, but like you just, you get used.

[C]

That's true. And also through the closet.

[D]

No, that was my old, old place.

[C]

Where I'm getting your places conflated.

[D]

No, my old, old place was that to get to my bedroom you had to walk through the bathroom to get to the bedroom. Which was sort of weird. Yeah, but, but yeah, like, yeah, having, having people go through your. Your, your bedroom is weird. But like also like, it's for the three days that your family comes to visit in Calgary. You're going to like, you're gonna just dismiss this entire listing as opposed.

[C]

You know, I would dismiss it though. I have to say I have to disagree with you there because it's not only like, oh my God, they might see me naked or whatever. It's that your mom is gonna go in there and just poop and then you're gonna be stuck kinda. You know, people are so weird in bathrooms. Like you don't know what they're doing. They might be sitting in there texting forever, just lingering a poop. And you're just stuck there with your parent poop in the house. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. Or they could just stay in a hotel.

[D]

I mean, or they could stay in a hotel.

[C]

Yeah, I think that's a better option.

[D]

Anyway, so then they go upstairs. This place, this place is cute. They go upstairs and there's so much light and there's this cute little periwinkle wood burning stove.

[C]

Oh, is there so much light? There is. Because guess who's in her bra now. Leslie light.

[D]

Come on up. Yeah. Guess what? Sister Judith couldn't even dream of having this kind of bosom. So the kitchen's really nice. It's a nice kitchen. There's tons of light. It's. It's not. It's the view of all these trees. It's so. It's just like tranquil and lovely in there.

[C]

Oh, it is really lovely. Cute wood kitchen, nice new tiles. And Terry's like, we don't cook a ton so it's gonna be a balance, you know, annoying. We have one income. You're gonna need to get a job. You're not gonna. You're not gonna handle this person. Take. Even if it's just to get your masters and, you know, it's temporary. This is going to make Terry crazy.

[D]

Yeah, this is. Yeah, you need to get it. You need to get it. Start driving Uber. Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

So. So then Terry loves it, though. She loves this. And Sean's like, no, I know you're getting a little carried away right now because you know women, but I don't want to be sleeping at night. And let's say your parents come and then your dad's going to our bedroom to go to the bathroom. I mean, have you heard the stinkers he's had at our old house? I mean, that was bad enough.

[C]

Well, you know what? Beans. Beans, the magical fruit. Am I right? We'll just have to be more careful what we serve him next time. And I know I'm real strict about the budge, but gosh, cuteness overload. Am I right? Look at this place. So now they go get some fried cod and fish and chips, basically.

[D]

First Linda. Linda sasses Terry because Terry says. Because she goes, you know, the cuteness factor, the cat, the character factor, this is winning me over. And Linda goes. Leslie hopes Terry is willing to take her own advice with a place that might be slightly better fit for Sean. I'm like, oh, shit, come on.

[C]

She is so bitchy. I love it. So now they go get some fish and chips, and Terry goes, when in Dublin and the narrator site. This is their first time in Dublin, but not Terry's first time wearing nine shades of. Of pink. In this episode, she's only brought one jacket to Dublin, and it looks like unicorn diarrhea. So thanks for that. Thanks for that.

[D]

Tare Tera's like, you know, because they're eating their fish and chips, she goes, you know, this is gonna sound silly, but I kind of want a divorce also. You kind of forget that Ireland is surrounded by ocean. Like, so, like, obviously this seafood's gonna be. Isn't it funny? Cuz, like, last in my mind, for some reason, it's like right next to Kenya. So it's like, oh, my God. No, it's actually in the ocean right now.

[C]

And Sean's like, I'm gonna step out of my comfort zone. We might get lonely, but I have family here. Haven't met him yet, but, you know, hey, it's sinking in and it's scary and it's daunting. And Terry goes, I think it's probably improper to ask for ketchup here, huh? I'm not gonna do that.

[D]

Should I ask for ketchup? Yeah.

[C]

Embarrass me. They could be my family.

[D]

You know, the last time I lived abroad was actually, I was just in. I was in North Dakota. I was pretty close to home, to be honest, and we just ordered ketchup there all the time.

[C]

So now they're in the car driving to the next place, and Sean's like, well, I hear that this next place is traditional for. Oh, they're passing water. And he goes, oh. So I hear in Ireland that a lot of families go into the cold water in the winter. And Leslie's like, yeah, a bunch of idiots in the new year do that. A bunch of pneumonia addicts do it, hoping that they can get their poor little auntie to get pneumonia and die. But not me. You know why? I'm not a moron.

[D]

Hey, Leslie, if you happen to see a sign for ketchup sold here, do you mind pulling over? I'm sort of going through a drought right now in this sign city.

[C]

Hey, I know you don't like swimming in weather, but do you like swimming and ketchup?

[D]

It's, like, sweet and tangy all at once.

[C]

I'm having mad craving right now. My neighbors have this thing on the New Year's, and I live in, like, an older neighborhood. There's a lot of older people here and older than me, which. Which is really cute. They're all really sweet, but they do this yearly thing to bond where they. They plunge into the lake. Because I live in a lake neighborhood. I'm not going out there on New Year's day at fucking 30 degrees or 40 degrees and jumping in the water with you rascals. Are you fucking crazy? No, I will not do. And of course, it's a one lady who's trying to, like, start a neighborhood yoga thing, too. Fuck you, lady. Fuck your yoga and fuck your cold, plunging. Okay, you want me to plunge into something cold? Send me some Ben and Jerry's. Otherwise, get the fuck out of my email.

[D]

Exactly. So Leslie knows Sean and Terry are taking a leap in their relationship as a married couple. So she tries a comfortable option that can ease the stress of too many changes, like, no ketchup in Ireland.

[C]

So this is the house. House three on the south side. One bedroom, one bath, 1900, which are acting like it's this great deal. It's one bedroom. Have they all been one?

[D]

They've all been no one. She didn't find them a single two bedroom place.

[C]

Leslie doesn't give a fuck. And Leslie's like, fuck you. You'll. You'll get what I give. Yeah.

[D]

All right, so this neighborhood is called Rathbines. It's where people would go to mine for things and feel the wrath of the Irish underground, the Rathmans.

[C]

So here's a little brick building. It's got nice new wide plank, new floors, and it's like a kitchen, living room combo with a tiny two person counter. And this one's meh. I think this one's like, it's meh.

[D]

And it's far away. Like, what's. It's like, I think if you're an expat, like, what's the point of just moving to the suburbs? And like, we've all met those people, those people who are like, oh, I moved abroad and I moved all the way to the suburbs and I didn't really like it there. So I came back to America and I was just like, really? But you didn't even do it right.

[C]

That's. That's me. I moved to Texas. I moved to Austin, which is a great city city. And I live outside of Austin. I'm never in Austin. I don't know anything. People are like, oh, my God, have you been to this restaurant? No, because I moved to the burbs. Now, granted, I don't leave my house anyway, so it's perfect for me. But I get the. I get what you're saying, and I should move to Austin and I'm going.

[D]

To be accidentally shamed.

[C]

Thank you, Ben. My friend suggested it, so I did it.

[D]

So this apartment has new construction, but before you moved in, there was a horse living here. So consider consistency is key.

[C]

So let's see. So song is. Oh, the bedroom. He's like, what does he say? I wrote it's so Bray. I don't know what that.

[D]

It's just so bland and boring. The bedroom is like, fine. It's like space, but they're like, wow, this is a lot of space. But it doesn't seem like a lot of space. It just looks like a. Like a small one bedroom. Like, there's not even room for a dining room table.

[C]

But does he actually say, you know, there's a lot of coverage space?

[D]

Yes, he does. He says, lots of cupboard space in here. You know, like, covered.

[C]

I wrote covered. I was like, oh, yeah, house, dude, it has a roof on it.

[D]

No, it's got a lot of cupboard space here. In this bedroom.

[C]

Whoa, look at all these cupboards.

[D]

You put all your cups and your boards in there.

[C]

That's a nice way of saying there's no closets in here. Linda, Light. I know. I ain't gonna give you closets. You're not getting another bedroom, and you're not getting closet mother truck.

[D]

They go into the bathroom, which is a nice bathroom, and like. Like, oh, look, this is a modern bathroom. And Terry goes, I feel like we're in a hotel. Like, what hotels has Terry been subjected to?

[C]

That's not the cutest. So Sean's like, whoa, you know what? I feel like you don't really get this in Ireland. And she goes, no, I'm not getting Ireland at all from this place. Do you have any little short people around here with red hair and big giant shoes?

[D]

Leslie's like, oh, thanks a lot. Yeah, we don't have anything modern here. Let me just. Let me just press this crank so your elevator comes to get you, because we apparently have no electricity or running water here either.

[C]

Well, you know, it's nice and modern, but I'm a little worried about the location because, you know, I'm a city guy. I was hoping we'd get some more urban feel, you know, like the outfitters. You know, I want the men's level to be on a completely separate level, and I want to have to pass through furniture to get up there.

[D]

Yeah. I mean, can't you see me in this in this big T shirt? Can't you see how I'm. I'm a city guy at heart. What about me does not speak of the urban experience?

[C]

I'm basically a Jetson in a car that sounds like this.

[D]

I couldn't help but wonder, are there no modern apartments here in Dublin? Type, type, type, type, type. Shawn. In the city.

[C]

So Terry's like, well, this is very. From school, but I guess, you know, it's the same as back home, too, and I don't really love that. I want more Ireland in my life. I say they're gonna pick number one because it's close to the pub.

[D]

So I thought it was gonna be number two, because number two seemed like it had the best of everything. Like, there was. It was a little roomier. It was gorgeous. There was the issue with the bathroom, but I was like, but realistically, how often are they gonna have the parents that are there?

[C]

I mean, too much and too intensely to really give her what she wants. And she clearly wants number two, so I don't think he's gonna. And.

[D]

And also, like, the way this show works is that they always go for the worst option. Like, number three was the worst. Actually. I thought. I actually thought number three was the.

[C]

Worst, because I think number three was the worst. Yeah.

[D]

And they eliminated that right away. But I was like, they're not gonna go for number one because that kitchen was, like, literally unmanageable, and it was so small. So even though it's a good location, there's gonna be pubs near the other one. It's got nice light. It's cute. It's got charm, but there's space. And even though there's a bathroom issue, you know, his parents probably aren't even gonna come visit. I mean, his grandpa left the country. Maybe.

[C]

You know, maybe they're fugitives. I don't even believe that. You know, they're probably like, we can't go back there. We're good. We'll get in trouble. Just send stupid Sean over there. He can serve the time for the rest of the family.

[D]

So basically, you know that he. He hates the bathroom situation. House number two. And so they. They go for house number one. I could not believe it.

[C]

They go for house number one, which is close to a bar. Well, I have to say, this guy's trouble. And they saved a hundred bucks. Like, oh, please, he's gonna drink that in five minutes. Like, why are we acting like a hundred bucks is so much to Sean, I'm sure.

[D]

But also like, Sean. What drove me nuts was that Sean kept on saying, like, oh, you know, I hate the idea of people going through our bedroom to go into the bathroom. Like, that'll be so terrible when we have guests. I'm like, it'll be bad for you when you have guests who have to go through your bedroom to go to the bathroom. What happens when you have this tiny ass closet and you have guests? That's gonna be even worse. So what about the guests that are living on top of you in the closet?

[C]

But, yeah, there's nowhere for the guests to sleep. And either way, you're gonna be coming into their room to poop because the bathroom has to be off one of the rooms.

[D]

But I think ultimately they were just like, we're moving to Dublin, and we just want to be, like, close to all the Dublin action. And for that, you think that's smart? You know, God bless.

[C]

Yeah, I think that that's smart. At the end of the day, and.

[D]

When we see they. They make their. They actually make the space look very cute. So turns out they had a better sense than I was.

[C]

They look like such dorks. Three months later, they're like, let's see what they're doing three months later. And they're in, like, their little bike helmets, which, you know, a safety first and everything. But she's still wearing that unicorn jacket, and they're just like, whoa, bike R. But when she goes, look at. Look over there at that park. I can picture a picnic there. Romance. Your favorite. Wow.

[D]

She really. She's so ambitious with what she imagines. What you also don't see is that they're biking very quickly, and then you see just Leslie in her car trying to run them off the road. I'll catch up. You want to see Irish charm? Here it comes.

[C]

And that brings us to the end. Oh, no, we don't, because guess what? Sean's like, oh, guess what? We're not gonna have time for romance right now. Guess why. Because Patches emailed us for a family get together.

[D]

That's right, Pat.

[C]

We see that he has found his family.

[D]

Yes. Also, I firmly believe that they stole a mirror from house number three, because when they moved, when they looked at house number three, there was a mirror in the foyer that was, like, the circle mirror that had, like, this lip underneath it.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

I remember that when they showed the rent, when they showed three months later, the second same exact mirror was over the fireplace of house number one. I was like, either you use that in house number three to fake stage it, or you stole it. And I think they stole it.

[C]

Virgo.
