For a long time said I didn't like potatoes cause I just wanted to be different
And then I was like what? Yeah. I know. What kind of an idiot am I though?
Why would you give up something that's so beautiful?
Hey guys, so before we get started do you want some beer?
F*ck yeah!
If you could do it on Sunday, I would get smashed!
You can't put pints in front of us and tell us that.
I know, right? Chin chin.
Cheers. Slante!
Oh, it's very flat.
It's also lovely and warm.
First stereotype for you today. Do you know what it is?
I hope it's something original. It's not just like - you guys drink lots.
You guys drink lots. That's what the stereotype is.
Is it?
Always. Particularly me.
That's a scandalous stereotype. How dare you?
We like to have a laugh when we drink
We'll like include ourselves in other people's conversations for no apparent reason
That's true. That's true. That's a very Irish thing.
I'll go clubbing and then I won't see my friends the whole night.
And they'll be like "where were you"? I'll be like "I was talking to your mom across the street."
Do you think it's actually legit?
I don't -- a lot of my friends are like borderline alcoholics..
And like not in a funny way. In a "I'm actually kinda worried about you way"
Functioning?
A functioning alcoholic?
A yeah!
I'm not wearing a shirt. This is just skin tone.
Like one day all my freckles will form together and I'll get a nice tan.
That's the dream. That's the Irish dream right there.
What do they call you? A black Irish?
Black Irish. Yeah, there was like a Mediterranean postman doing the rounds I'd say
Scotts give us a run for our money.
That's a stereotype?
So we fake tan, but it's like orange fake tan. And it kinda smells a little bit like curry.
God love you if you have white bed sheets because they are going to be orange by the next day
You gotta do first layer, then shower and then you put on your second layer and then you're ready to go out.
Seventeen and nineteen. That's the real age for that stereotype.
Yeah, a lot of girls did wear fake tan when I was growing up. A lot. And they did wear too much makeup.
But I think that was due to the fact that they weren't very good at putting it on.
It always rains so you see girls running around with something across their top and they've got the dots all over them.
But there is always that line as well
The chin line. The chin line!
I remember that it was always one of those things where if you came back from a night out or something
You would absolutely have fake tan on you in some way
I used to be a fake tan victim for several years
I would identify as - I needed help.
That is a true stereotype. We do love the craic. Who doesn't love the craic?
I mean - what are we gonna do. Say that we hate the craic?
We love the craic. We absolutely love the craic
Has that got you into trouble since you've been over here?
Where you say that to someone?
And you're like - ah, well. Is there any craic?
People are like - woah!
The craic is Irish, translated into English for fun. Craic means fun.
Go out, have a few pints with the lads, try to pull some birds..
I f*cking love potatoes.
I adore a good spud.
For my birthday they gave a mashed potato cake.
They didn't!?
I swear. My job. They gave me a bowl of mashed potatoes with a candle and literally..
I would flip it.
Oh, I literally cried.
Did you?
For joy!
I think that it's more that we have to eat potatoes
I mean it's just kind of.. always there.
You boil them, mash them and put them in a stew. And also roasties. Roasties are the best
The versatility. It's genius.
It's a superfood.
I've never had Lucky Charms my life
Is this gonna reverse our Irishness?
D' you know what. These don't exist in Ireland. I didn't even know these existed until I saw them on like, American television.
Do you say - top of the morning?
Oh my God, get out of here
People think we're always drunk
I'm not gonna take a sip as I say that!
I bet I can outdrink you and stuff like that. I'm like - yeah, good luck.
It's like "oh you're Irish. Let's go get pissed right now". I'm like, "it's 11 o'clock on a Sunday"..
Irish people are easily the friendliest people in the world. If you go and travel there, everyone is gonna look after you.
Lovely, friendly people. Great banter, great craic.
Great looking.
Naturally
That we're the best?
That we're just f*cking fantastic. End of story.
