- Hi, my name is Mystic Meg (chuckling).
Welcome back to your tarot reading.
Hi, my name is Clare and welcome back to my YouTube channel.
If you don't know me, I'm an Irish YouTuber from Ireland
and if you do know me, thank you for coming back.
It's been a few years since I did a Q&A,
but I've been getting a lot of the same questions
over and over again lately,
so I figured now's as good a time as any.
Right off the top.
So many people are asking me
why I don't pronounce the I S in Clisare.
It's because I'm saying Clare, my real name.
I'm named after the County Clare in Ireland.
My username is Clisare, so I'm Clare,
but I'm also Clisare.
Make sense? (laughing)
Now that I'm doing YouTube full time,
would I consider moving out of Dublin?
I like to tell myself yes, but no.
I have this idea that I'd love to live in Galway,
but Galway doesn't have Tag rugby in the winter, so.
How much has the TRY/Fact experience changed your life?
I've been on YouTube since before Facts was on YouTube,
but Facts gave me experience in production.
TRY has given me now a platform
that's much bigger than my own
and access to an audience
that's much bigger than my own.
Do you believe in ghosts or other paranormal stuff?
I used to, and then I stopped believing in religion.
So I feel like if you don't believe in religion,
really difficult to believe in ghosts.
But at the same time,
if I went into a haunted house,
I'd be scared shitless.
Explain about why Gaeilge is important to you.
I don't really know what to say.
It's my language, it's my culture, it's my heritage.
Is there any Tryers you're not too fond of,
and Kellie, Colin, Sean knows not to do shoot together?
But how do I put this?
There's nobody on TRY Channel that I am not fond of,
or that I wouldn't want to be paired with.
I've never put in a request to not be paired
with anyone on the TRY Channel.
Facts channel, however is a different story.
Yeah, leave it at that. Is there anyone from the TRY Channel
you would like to do a story time with? Yes, all of them.
I just need to get my arse together
and get everyone organized.
If you were single, would you date Dermot?
Dermot is too old for me.
(laughing)
Millie, do you want to come up on my lap?
How do you figure out what AreYaHavingThat is saying?
So I've been getting a lot of criticism on this as well,
and I got a particularly irate email the other day about it.
I was thinking yesterday that what I might do is,
I might use my March money,
going forward to pay for subtitles.
YouTube have gotten rid of community captions,
which I think is a terrible idea,
a true lesson Sherlock.
What's your favorite part about living in Ireland?
Or your favorite part of Ireland in general?
I would have always said up to this,
that my favorite part about living in Ireland,
was the friendliness.
Obviously coronavirus has ruined that,
somewhat, the Greenfield.
Why didn't you go with your "say yes to the dress" dress?
Well, Elefantito, I have a full,
I think it's 20 minutes long video on this,
on my YouTube channel and my Facebook page.
So feel free to watch that to get a full detailed answer.
When are we going to see your biggest fan,
singing the Taylor Swift parody?
So this was sent to me by a woman called Avril Leary,
of her daughter Kira.
And for those of you that don't know,
a couple of years ago I did a parody song,
about Mayo losing the all Ireland final.
And she sent me a recent video,
of Kira singing along to the song which is unreal.
And then she sent me a video,
of Kira singing a couple of years ago.
- In 1951, the ribbons blowing in the wind.
- How fucking cute is that?
Excuse my language.
In one of the TRY videos,
you're wearing, a Savannah Bananas hoodie.
Millie is making this so difficult.
How did you come by that?
Just curious as it's my hometown,
and an obscure minor league team.
Actually one of my patrons Matthew Hall,
sent me that hoodie and that like started,
a kind of mini obsession.
In that ever since I've been obsessed
with really obscure team names.
So we've got a Savannah Bananas hoodie now,
Macon Bacon hoodie,
and I bought on Amazon something Chiwawas hoodie.
What a very specific interest.
If COVID-19 hadn't happened,
Where in the world would you have traveled to?
I was due to go to France, I think twice to play sport.
I was aiming to get picked to play for Ireland,
for touch rugby in the Euros this summer.
So like obviously that went out the window.
I have a few Ryanair vouchers,
gathering dust in my email inbox, put that way.
So we're gonna move on now to Patreon questions.
Will you try to get your Irish Bucket List published again?
Yes, if you don't know I've been trying
to get this book published for second, for four years.
Now that I'm full time on YouTube,
I'm gonna ebook it myself.
I will have it as soon as I possibly can.
There might be an Amazon Print on Demand one,
I'll have a look.
What's your favorite takeaway food?
Lately it's been Pad Thai
because I want to relive my days in Thailand
after having a Mai Tai with Ciara O Doherty.
I would say normally it's butter, sausage and chips.
Tell us more about Harry and the dog fostering process.
So we fostered a dog,
fostered them from Dogs Angels Ireland.
Some of my friends already fostered with that charity
so I got the friend recommendation.
I messaged them on Facebook,
they came out to see the house,
and then they asked me to take Harry
and I said, yes.
Next time they're gonna try and find a dog,
that is more suited to Millie.
Now that we know, what many does and doesn't like.
Isn't that a right, you heard your name.
Is Alex working from home
and if so, how's it working out.
He was working from home,
for a long period of time and so was I.
I worked upstairs, he worked downstairs.
And I really liked going down to him at lunchtime.
He's back in the office now, good while.
So I'm here on my own all day everyday.
Great for getting work done, bit lonely.
How did you come up with Millie's name?
The name they'd given her,
in the place we got her was Sweetie Pie.
When we got her we were like, that does not suit her at all.
So I was racking my brain and I was like,
what about an Irish language name?
What about the Irish for sweets?
Milseain, Mill and then Alex was like Millie?
I think Millie is a name for someone,
who's got a little bit of edge to them.
Little cheeky sometimes.
So I think it suits her perfectly.
Who is your favorite TRYer to be paired up with?
Dermot without a shadow of a doubt,
my favorite TRYer to be paired with is Dermot.
I'd love to be paired with Ciara O Doherty
in a drinking video.
Because I just wanna see the carnage,
and I know that I'm the person that's gonna end up dead.
But I just wanna see what happens.
What does Alex do for work?
He does office supplies, super exciting.
What was your favorite Irish Bucket List
activity you completed?
I still think that my favorite Irish Bucket List activity,
has to be wrestling the alligator.
Like who knew you could wrestle an alligator in Ireland?
Not me (chuckling).
Why are all the cars in Ireland so freakin' small?
Are they?
We've a lot of windy roads.
Makes no sense to have huge cars but also,
all our cars come from other countries.
I think America has the same car brands,
but I think you just have bigger models.
Like so, I'll turn it back on you sir.
Why are your cars so large?
Surströmming or Durian fruit?
Durian fruit, it's not as bad as Surströmming.
Surströmming was the worst.
I never even tasted the Surströmming.
And I remember the smell ruined
the entire Facts office that time.
I have 88 comments here on Facebook,
but don't worry most of them are stupid questions.
Like what are the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition?
So we won't be answering any of those.
How's the healthcare in Ireland?
Free!
Have you visited the U.S and why?
So, Florida to visit a friend.
NewYork to visit family.
Arizona to visit family.
San Diego to live on the Jay One.
San Francisco to go to a conference
When I was the YouTube ambassador to Ireland.
I think that's it.
Do you miss Mayo and the west in general?
I do miss Mayo, I have a lot of nostalgia for Mayo.
I don't think I'd be able to go back and live there now.
I don't think I'd be able for the cold.
I'd miss Tyro be too much.
I try to go back regularly enough to visit,
but you get in trouble doing that during coronavirus
as I found out the hard way
so I won't be going back as much anymore.
Jack Hagman says, "Any plans to fix the nose?"
Go fuck yourself Jack.
'Cause I've already fixed my nose.
There's a video on my channel about it.
And if it's not good enough for you
feel free to ring my surgeon and complain to him.
Your personal favorite comedian?
Tommy Tiernan and hands down.
He just started a new podcast with Hector O hEochagain,
who is another one of my favorite comedians, stop it.
Worst part of COVID lockdown versus best?
So the worst part of COVID lockdown is the side eyeing.
People are judging what other people are doing.
People are bitching about what other people are doing.
Can you please teach me how to say this in Gaelic?
No, Irish does not work the way that English does.
That doesn't translate directly
and that's the same reason why I also,
never ever translate people's tattoos.
Like what if I make a mistake?
And then you put it on your body? No, thanks.
We have about 20 mutual friends, but I've never met you.
Would it be stranger to pretend I don't know
a lot about you or just be upfront and honest.
I do think it's better to be open and honest.
I do sometimes take the piss a little bit.
So as soon as someone's like, where do I know you're from?
I'm like, the Gaeltacht? (chuckling)
I just have one of those faces.
What I don't like is when people pretend,
that they've never watched my videos when they meet me.
Because it puts me in this position where I think,
that our relationship is starting a fresh but it isn't.
because they have a set idea of who I am, what I believe.
The way that I'm going to interact with them.
And I'm not aware of that.
And in the past that has actually caused problems,
in professional environments.
Why does Alex think he's so funny?
Alex thinks he's so funny cause everyone comments
and says he's funny all the time.
So, that's why.
How often would people recognize you?
Actually not that often in Ireland, to be honest with you.
It's very rare.
I feel like even when Irish people do recognize you,
they don't want to come up
and say hello to you, like, you know.
Although somebody did recognize me one time
while I was scolling a glass of wine on the way home.
How did you put your name together Clisare?
It is just Clare with an I S in the middle.
It's a random nickname I was given
in the Gaeltacht one year,
I don't know why.
I just really wanted a nickname because unfortunately,
Clare doesn't really land itself,
to very many cool nicknames.
What does the rest of the world really think
of what's going on in the USA?
(scoffing voice)
That's both my reaction to and answer to the question.
Who has the best spice bag?
That is a question for a whole series.
Is that you on the mugs used on the TRY Channel?
Yes, those are my wedding mugs.
It's a cartoon of me and Alex and Millie.
And I love that they use them
or at least used to use them in the videos.
Are you single and ready to mingle?
Richard where have you been (laughing)?
No!
How likely would Ireland accept an American moving back?
We have a lot of big American companies here
and we have a lot of Americans living and working here.
So like, I don't think anyone would care.
If you could have one thing sent to you from the U.S,
what would it be?
It would be a gift that is under the value of $60
and not a dollar above.
Because when I receive gifts that are above $60,
I have to pay through the nose on customs charges.
And now that I'm full time on YouTube,
I don't have a huge amount of spare money.
How did you become involved
with the Irish people TRY Channel?
I worked at Facts town.
And I knew everybody who was involved in the TRY Channel.
(speaks foreign language)
Nice, I'm not gonna lie to you Maxton,
probably not, because Alex doesn't speak Irish
and I think it's really ignorant to speak a language
in front of someone that they don't speak.
Unless Alex takes Irish lessons.
I very much doubt it, unfortunately.
If you had the option of never playing Tag rugby again,
or only playing for Alex's team for the rest of your life,
what would it be?
That's a tough question.
(chuckling)
What is your favorite TRY video that you have filmed?
Drunk People solve riddles.
Be honest, you're a little jealous of how loved Alex is?
100 percent, but listen,
I'll just give the people what they want.
Thinking about your time trying different food
from around the world on TRY Channel,
What's the first one that comes to mind,
that you loved and hated?
Loved the cinnamon popcorn and hated the Durian fruits.
Are you going to foster/ adopt more dogs in the future?
Hopefully.
Okay, so I am absolutely wrecked now.
Load is above, lesson learned never say, ask me anything.
