Now we, uh, wanted to mention about this trip to Ireland. It's a, because first of all, we were kind of writing the Yolo train mm-hmm <affirmative> you know, like, yo, again, we talked about this already. I'm not gonna go into detail, but again, and that led to the whole, you know what, let's travel. Why not? Yeah. So we started doing precisely that and
Speaker 2 00:01:26 I mean, when have we not really traveled, but you know, COVID kind of put a halt to that. It did,
Speaker 1 00:01:30 It did for the, for this whole time we never caught cop. We never caught COVID Sarita. Yeah. We have never caught COVID so, you know, yeah. We were like triple booster. So we figured
Speaker 2 00:01:44 COVID, didn't almost, you know, kill, kill us. But your appendicitis did,
Speaker 1 00:01:49 Which was like the whole irony of it. Right.
Speaker 2 00:01:51 I like,
Speaker 1 00:01:55 So we said, okay, enough is enough. Let's go. We had gotten back from Cancun. Yeah. And that is kind of when, um, well, shortly around that time is when your sister was like, Hey, I've always wanted to do this trip to Ireland.
Speaker 2 00:02:07 Well, I don't think that's how it happened, but okay. How
Speaker 1 00:02:09 Did it happen?
Speaker 2 00:02:09 Ireland was not like the first thought
Speaker 1 00:02:12 It was something in particular she wanted, she wanted to go watch Zimer. Yeah. So if you don't know who Zimmer is, he's the music guy who made
Speaker 2 00:02:22 Music, Oscar award winning.
Speaker 1 00:02:23 Yeah. Like if you watch
Speaker 2 00:02:25 Pose
Speaker 1 00:02:25 The dark night, you know, the dark night rises, um, you know, we'll just the Batman trilogies with, you know, Christopher Nolan and Christian bale. That music. Yeah. That's
Speaker 2 00:02:34 Prior to the Caribbean, the newest one he did was dune mm-hmm <affirmative> mm-hmm <affirmative> the music for dune. The music for Sherlock Holmes. Mm-hmm
Speaker 1 00:02:41 <affirmative>
Speaker 2 00:02:42 Yeah. Not the British one. Right? The actual movie.
Speaker 1 00:02:45 Yeah. The movie itself. Inner stellar.
Speaker 2 00:02:47 Inner stellar.
Speaker 1 00:02:48 Oh. Say all that music, all that. Her
Speaker 2 00:02:50 Harbor,
Speaker 1 00:02:51 That classic soundtrack. That's him.
Speaker 2 00:02:54 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:02:55 Yeah. So do you wanted to go watch this guy?
Speaker 2 00:02:57 Stacy?
Speaker 1 00:02:58 Always like, you know the
Speaker 2 00:02:59 Band. Yeah. And he was there. Of course.
Speaker 1 00:03:01 So turns out that he was gonna go to Ireland.
Speaker 2 00:03:04 No, no, no. He's just doing a Europe tour.
Speaker 1 00:03:06 He was doing a Europe tour.
Speaker 2 00:03:07 He's I don't know if he's still on it, but he was gonna hit a bunch of different,
Speaker 1 00:03:11 Well, it was dicey cuz of whole COVID thing, man.
Speaker 2 00:03:15 I feel it was getting pushed and pushed and pushed back mm-hmm <affirmative> and he had done an America tour, like nos before that. So my sister wanted to see him and we had been wanting to travel together and Europe just sounded like fun. Yeah. Sounded like a good time. None of us had ever been to that part of the world. Mm-hmm <affirmative> so yeah, like different places on the list. Like London, Paris, Germany. I don't know what other places you was gonna be in? Uh, ILO, you know, she said Ireland out loud and we were all kind of like,
Speaker 1 00:03:52 Yeah. That one's for some reason that
Speaker 2 00:03:54 Our little heart just went
Speaker 1 00:03:55 Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:03:56 That place, the little pitter patter for,
Speaker 1 00:03:58 I don't know what it is likely. We never been to Ireland. Like we have no idea what to expect, but that's the one that sounded the most. Yeah. That one see <inaudible> mm-hmm <affirmative> I mean, coincidentally, it was one of the few places that he actually performed because he had a closed venues, like in Paris and like London and like, you know, like
Speaker 2 00:04:15 That happened after we bought the tickets. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:04:17 That's what I'm saying. Like, you know, like the, like the za
Speaker 2 00:04:20 Ireland didn close the holidays. No, after the holidays, after December, January mm-hmm <affirmative> uh, January, even PA tour. And a lot of these places had COVID numbers spiking again.
Speaker 1 00:04:34 Yeah. So I don't even know which variant we were
Speaker 2 00:04:36 On. We were technically his fourth show.
Speaker 1 00:04:39 Were we on the Delta variant or the Yama? Crown variant Enni yeah. I don't know.
Speaker 2 00:04:45 Pass to in inro we went in March and we were his fourth show because of so much cancellations leading
Speaker 1 00:04:52 Up point is B wanted to go watch this guy since it's like forever. Since she was like 12, the gamos I don't know.
Speaker 2 00:04:59 I think since Pearl Harbor came, this
Speaker 1 00:05:01 Was always a dream of hers and he wasn't gonna come to the states for a while. And we said, dude, let's just go to Ireland.
Speaker 2 00:05:07 I know let's go to Hans
Speaker 1 00:05:08 Man. Okay. If there's anything that I've learned so far. Yeah. And let's go mm-hmm <affirmative> and that's exactly what we did, you know, and we got to, to Dublin nomos the Dublin itself, Muno just a little bit, but man, we kind of had no idea that it was gonna be that busy. I expected it to be busy because you know, there's gonna be a Han Zimer concert and people all over the
Speaker 2 00:05:31 World. Watch there just so much going on the week that we were there
Speaker 1 00:05:34 That week was absolutely packed with events. I mean, it was just popping. Dublin was popping all week long. Like I on classical, they classical Ivy, the end of the mask restrictions and the Kobe restrictions that
Speaker 2 00:05:45 Same week had, see, they had lifted the, the restrictions.
Speaker 1 00:05:50 It was like, basically like, yay, Jesse, like Jessica Deez,
Speaker 2 00:05:54 Like, you know, like everything restaurants and stuff like pastoring hours mm-hmm <affirmative> so it was kind of cool. It was cool. Everybody was like, let's wild out and hug it out guys.
Speaker 1 00:06:05 <laugh> and then apparently that week was the most perfect week weather wise for Ireland. They've never had a week like that
Speaker 2 00:06:10 Ever before. Yo weatherproof. Yo.
Speaker 1 00:06:15 Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:06:17 So excited about
Speaker 1 00:06:19 Dual purpose clothes.
Speaker 2 00:06:20 Yes. All terrain. Yeah. All weather. I wanted to get caught in the rain. I had, we packed a little umbrella. Um, I took a trench coat eat like my dock Martin shoes got me thinking, you know, I mean, I still wore them most of the time mm-hmm <affirmative> but it was like sunny and perfect and beautiful <laugh> the whole time, The whole time was, you know, being from Southern Arizona, we were like, this is light sweater, weather, you know? Yeah. Obviously, but for them they were like, this is like beach weather guys. This is perfect. And it was pretty perfect. My skin loved it there. Our skin was so dewy there's just so it was just great.
Speaker 1 00:07:03 Yeah. Honestly, I don't wanna sit here and like complain about it. Like I don't wanna sit here like oh, sunny days, but it'll I kind of was expecting Ken on PTO.
Speaker 2 00:07:12 Yeah. Like a little gloom.
Speaker 1 00:07:13 Yeah. Every cab driver, every, every person that we talked to were like, you came in apparently the best,
Speaker 2 00:07:18 I guess the week before we got there, it was like raining and gloomy and mm-hmm <affirmative> cold. Yeah. It was a blimp because after that it went back to being
Speaker 1 00:07:26 Yeah. Miserable Uhhuh. So I'm not, I don't wanna say that. I'm the reason I brought the sunshine to the country be
Speaker 2 00:07:33 Are you living up to your
Speaker 1 00:07:35 I'm just saying like the moment I get here, what a coincidence. They,
Speaker 2 00:07:39 We brought the warmness from Arizona.
Speaker 1 00:07:42 We have, and here in Yuma fun fact, the world record for the most sunny days in the world in a, the most consecutive sunny days, we have that art. It's always sunny that we were there. Sunny mm-hmm <affirmative> I go, you know, you know, you're welcome Ireland. You're welcome. You know, but I, and even though there was, even though Dublin, Dublin's a big city, but it's not a big city. If that makes any sense. Like, I
Speaker 2 00:08:16 Think it's smaller than Phoenix.
Speaker 1 00:08:18 Yeah. It's like, it's the capital and it feels like the capital. Yeah. But at the same time, it doesn't feel big.
Speaker 2 00:08:24 There's the thing. This is my theory. Obviously I haven't Googled just to check, but it was built around like, can I walk here?
Speaker 1 00:08:35 Oh, that is a beautiful thing about Europe.
Speaker 2 00:08:36 Right? Absolutely beautiful. It's pedestrian friendly. Absolutely. I love that. I love that. I don't have to use a car if I don't need to. Um, we wanted to rent a car and then we were like, mm. Driving on the opposite side of the road in these narrow roads. Would've been,
Speaker 1 00:08:53 Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:08:53 It would've been a problem. It would've been a disaster. Yeah. Um, a good, you know, fun experience, but like maybe not the whole trip driving around, you know, and I feel, but it just felt so, um, just compacted, I guess is the word.
Speaker 1 00:09:18 Yeah. It felt really communal. No. Yeah. The pedestrian walkability, first of all, was amazing. Mm-hmm <affirmative> which is like that we don't experience here. No, even I like it's too hot to coming out, you know? Yeah. And even days that are nice, even in our town mm-hmm <affirmative>, it's not really barely, they're setting it up to be more walkable, more walkable, more walking, friendly.
Speaker 2 00:09:38 Mm-hmm <affirmative> and we're used to traveling to places like San Diego mm-hmm <affirmative> and Phoenix and, uh, San Francisco is a little bit more like walkable, I think. But during those Hills, but it, it would, it just like, we're so used to driving everywhere. Oh, you wanna go out to eat? You gotta drive out Phoenix.
Speaker 1 00:09:55 Phoenix is the perfect example. Every time we go to Phoenix, it's like, oh, let's go to this place. Okay, cool. Let's
Speaker 2 00:10:00 The car. It's 20 minutes away. And we're gonna get on interstate
Speaker 1 00:10:02 Or we're gonna get on this highway. And we're like, yay. Almost, you know?
Speaker 2 00:10:05 Yeah. Like we don't have anything down the road.
Speaker 1 00:10:06 There's nothing there. You know, there's nothing. Yeah. So I was like, it's, it's so interesting. K I E and I imagine that this is European thing, but particularly Dublin mm-hmm <affirmative> the public transport was so easy to get to. Oh my God. It's so easy. Um, the walking was so easy to do. Like, it was so cool to
Speaker 2 00:10:24 Like, we could eat somewhere and then walk it off before we went to the next
Speaker 1 00:10:29 Stop. And even though like, it was super pan cause classical of a rugby match, apparently it was like the tournament. We had no idea that was also gonna happen.
Speaker 2 00:10:39 We are rugby fans now.
Speaker 1 00:10:40 Yeah, we are. And we'll get to that shortly. But even though cam dete, it was the complete opposite of other big cities. Like for example, I'm making a huge contrast here at fiddle. The people and the city life in Dublin is not the city life in New York.
Speaker 2 00:10:55 No, mm-hmm
Speaker 1 00:10:57 People were nice there.
Speaker 2 00:10:58 They were so nice.
Speaker 1 00:11:00 And that's weird to see in a big city mm-hmm <affirmative> Aquis
Speaker 2 00:11:04 Like, it felt like, like small town mentality meets city,
Speaker 1 00:11:08 You know, when we had our first episode and we talked about, okay, one of the biggest dilemmas S is that we don't know whether they're say hi or not, because in Mexico, this is Salk like Soro mm-hmm <affirmative>, especially in big cities. Like no, may I hate people. Same Over there. I did not feel that people were at the very
Speaker 2 00:11:27 Friendly
Speaker 1 00:11:28 Acknowledging your existence, you know, giving you the wink or not the wink. No, the, the Sal Lulo, you know what I mean? Like Uhhuh, I don't. Yeah. And even when we were writing, like, you know, one of the rails there, people were like talking amongst themselves. Yeah. There was groups of people talking amongst themselves. There was hardly any people can meet out, like in the subways, in New York where everybody was in their own world, you know, mm-hmm, <affirmative> like nine
Speaker 2 00:11:51 That's so true.
Speaker 1 00:11:52 Yeah. And it was so interesting to see that energy in ol Uhhuh. I don't know if it was because that week that happened to be sunny and COVID
Speaker 2 00:12:00 Just, everybody was in a good mood. Everybody
Speaker 1 00:12:02 Was a good mood. COVID restrictions had just been banned Seattle
Speaker 2 00:12:07 And they still kept the vibe.
Speaker 1 00:12:08 They still kept the vibe, but everybody was really nice. I think Irish people are just were our tribe right off the bat,
Speaker 2 00:12:14 Man. Are they Mexican Europeans?
Speaker 1 00:12:16 I think like I was talking to when we were talking to a lot of them, you know, because Santo and cab RTS, or when we would meet, like in pubs, they say, all
Speaker 2 00:12:23 Guys, the pub life is <laugh> Is where it at.
Speaker 1 00:12:26 Yeah. Man at pub life is amazing. But every time I would talk to them, they're like essentially the minorities of Europe, you know, now how true that is. I am not gonna hear sit here and, and debate the geopolitical events cuz
Speaker 2 00:12:45 No Barrios. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:12:46 But I do know that historically speaking, Latino and needles, you know, when the Irish started immigrating here, mm-hmm <affirmative> they had this very similar rough immigrant life. Yeah. Coming in, working in really hard conditions, you know? Um,
Speaker 2 00:12:59 I feel like there are people that, that work their land too, you know, mm-hmm <affirmative> so, which is very similar to us. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:13:04 Exactly. Yeah. So when that work ethic and that immigrant mentality and that, you know, almost that trauma
Speaker 2 00:13:14 Seems relatable,
Speaker 1 00:13:15 You know, it's like, oh, you guys were oppressed. Yeah. We can relate to that. All you guys were treated like dirt when you guys immigrated to another country. Yeah. We know what that looks like, you know? Yeah. And not specifically through yo or even them, the ones that we were talking to, but
Speaker 2 00:13:28 Are lineage.
Speaker 1 00:13:28 No, the essence. And they were just very chill, very down to earth. BI win mm-hmm <affirmative> and at first I thought it was because we were
Speaker 2 00:13:37 Tourist, but you know what it is too. The sarcasm
Speaker 1 00:13:42 <laugh> yeah. They're funny man.
Speaker 2 00:13:44 Because, and the humor doesn't always translate to every, uh, culture. No,
Speaker 1 00:13:56 Because in England, you know, down to NABI, well I say
Speaker 2 00:14:00 No, no, no. But Bri, A lot of people talk about how, um, the British, the British are SES will not eat like SARS. They don't talk about emotions. And I'm like, bro, that's a <laugh> yeah. Like most Hispanics. Right. So I feel like, like we get that like AIAN oh. And stuff that we couldn't really understand. Mm-hmm <affirmative> but, but nonetheless, it that's, that's where the comfort came for me. Yeah. Where it was like cracking jokes and de jokes. And it was just like, they weren't just like du CTOs of like perfect people. They were like,
Speaker 1 00:14:43 Cool. Yeah. And, and at first
Speaker 2 00:14:45 That's what we mean by like, they were so nice. Yeah. Yes. Polite mm-hmm <affirmative> but at the same time, like just a cool vibe of like, let's like, I don't know you, but we're cracking jokes in the cab and we're at the pub. And I say hi, and we can have a beer together. And it was just like, so chill.
Speaker 1 00:15:01 It that's that's the biggest thing is to me soAnd cuz at first I was thinking, oh, maybe it's just the fact that we're, you know, in a hotel tourist And we're tourists <laugh> yeah, yeah. You KKK. Yeah. Can, can they cater to you? Yeah. They cater to you
Speaker 2 00:15:13 A little too much.
Speaker 1 00:15:14 Beto is not the, you know, you know, when you're being catered to
Speaker 2 00:15:18 Yeah. In the hotel. I think the first pub that we went to. Sorry, what were you
Speaker 1 00:15:22 Gonna say? I was gonna say that the hotel, they traded us really nice, you know? Um, yeah.
Speaker 2 00:15:25 Yeah. I mean they're customer service.
Speaker 1 00:15:27 I forgot the guy's name, but he would hook it up with breakfast all the time. Time.
Speaker 2 00:15:30 How did you forget his name? Cuz I don't, I never met him formally.
Speaker 1 00:15:32 I forgot his name. He was, I have to remember if I can remember and maybe in the amateur hall
Speaker 2 00:15:37 I'll bring it up. It's Stanley Tuchi had an Irish brother,
Speaker 1 00:15:40 A tall Irish brother,
Speaker 2 00:15:41 A twin, I would say. Yeah, that was, that was him amazing. Oh, just the most beautiful man. Um, but I think we asked, was it the first pub? We went to the one that was upstairs. I think that, yeah. And we asked like, are we annoying? Are tourists annoying? Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:16:00 Cause we, we asked, we
Speaker 2 00:16:01 Were ki it was our first day out. I E no, it was the first
Speaker 1 00:16:05 Day.
Speaker 2 00:16:05 So we didn't really know how they were gonna treat tourists. Mm-hmm like whether or not we were like annoying, like new Yorkers, righters
Speaker 1 00:16:12 Hate people. Apparently. Exactly. People, new Yorkers hate when tourists visit. Like they hate you. Apparently mm-hmm mm-hmm <affirmative> and that's what I was thinking because,
Speaker 2 00:16:21 Or no Soros when snowbird Nachi, we're complaining kind of always about the traffic and like, we can't wait till they leave, but you know <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:16:30 Yeah. And then that same day, you know, obviously there's pubs that are super touristy. Yeah. And the very first one that we went to was very local.
Speaker 2 00:16:38 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:16:39 And we were gonna see there's a
Speaker 2 00:16:40 Kid at the bar.
Speaker 1 00:16:41 Yeah. Beautiful kid at the bar, you know, just drinking his problems away, you know? Um, he was like in his fifth drink, if I
Speaker 2 00:16:48 Was thinking it was a little sippy cup <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:16:51 And I purposely chose that place. Cuz I wanted to see what the vibe was in a more local setting. It was great. And it was just as welcoming mm-hmm <affirmative> people are genuinely interested in interacting with each other. People interacted with
Speaker 2 00:17:03 Each other. Yes. Those guys, you know?
Speaker 1 00:17:07 Yeah. I've never been in a restaurant or a bar where someone reaches out and like talks to you for the sake of talking to you. Mm-hmm <affirmative> so that was cool. Yeah, man.
Speaker 2 00:17:15 That's where I got the coasters from that I brought home
Speaker 1 00:17:18 <laugh> oh yeah. You got ' from there. What? That,
Speaker 2 00:17:20 Yeah, the Guinness coasters.
Speaker 1 00:17:22 I mean just overall, like, you know that, that whole
Speaker 2 00:17:24 Cool. If it was annoying, he wasn't a bartender. He just was there mm-hmm <affirmative> and he was like, no, we don't care. Yeah. You know? And, and they like to spark up conversation. So it's really cool. Cuz like, you know, lo where you're from and stuff.
Speaker 1 00:17:40 Yeah. And the conversation just kind of flows naturally from that point on yeah. Point is Irish people, which is our tribe run off the bat, like, you know, super, super cool. They can hang, you know, they can hang like crazy. You'll say they can have good drinks and good conversations.
Speaker 2 00:17:54 Oh my God. Remember what the, what the, the customs guy told us when, when we arrived to Ireland.
Speaker 1 00:18:00 Oh, that's
Speaker 2 00:18:01 Right. We hadn't even stepped foot in the city.
Speaker 1 00:18:02 That's right. The customs first,
Speaker 2 00:18:04 The custom guy, the Irish customs guys.
Speaker 1 00:18:06 That's and you know what? The customs in the us is like TSA, your customs. They basically look at you and they're automatically assuming that you're some type of terrorist. So say you broke some law some way, you know, custom, you have a place to say, yeah, we got a hotel
Speaker 2 00:18:23 First time,
Speaker 1 00:18:25 First time. And it' like, yeah, I love <inaudible>. Do you have any friends or family in Ireland? And I was like, not yet lady. I'm like, not yet. I love how you say, do you like Guinness? Sure. Do you like Jameson? Mm-hmm <affirmative> think you'll be fine. <laugh> mm-hmm <affirmative>
Speaker 2 00:18:40 Then he said start early <laugh> yeah.
Speaker 1 00:18:43 Early often. That's the rule early enough,
Speaker 2 00:18:45 Early often. And we were like, I love it here.
Speaker 1 00:18:48 <laugh> and you know what? I kind of low key. They didn't wanna tell the guy that I wasn't a huge fan of Guinness because I've had Guinnesses here IK. I did not like Guinness beer. Let's
Speaker 2 00:18:59 Let's
Speaker 1 00:19:00 Let the
Speaker 2 00:19:00 People know. Let's let the people know.
Speaker 1 00:19:02 I don't like Guinness beer. Yeah. First of all, it's 125,000 degrees. OFTA okay. It's like a tar soup. Like molasses, corn.
Speaker 2 00:19:17 You think it's heavy.
Speaker 1 00:19:19 Okay. Automatically gained 30 pounds by sniffing it. It's ridiculous. <laugh> and <foreign>
Speaker 2 00:19:30 I don't feel like you ever ordered it. I don't remember when you ever
Speaker 1 00:19:32 Ordered when I was trying well, when I was like 21 and trying it out, I gave it its fair shot. Oh, okay. I gave it its fair shot. I noon coming store.
Speaker 2 00:19:40 So why do I love it?
Speaker 1 00:19:41 Cause you're weird. <laugh> cause you're just a weirdo.
Speaker 2 00:19:45 I can't do light beers. Uh, IPAs wa
Speaker 1 00:19:51 That one's not really light, but yeah.
Speaker 2 00:19:52 Damco. Yeah. I don't know. I just don't like any of the, I do stouts. You like stouts? I always, always like stouts porters, dark beers. Mm-hmm <affirmative> here already was my jam. I just stopped drinking beer because of the hops and the like I went gluten free guys. Yeah. So I just stopped. And so I hadn't had one while so long. That's true. But right. Mm-hmm <affirmative> so I had one and I was like, cool. I like it. Like Fu do like Chama. Like my pan is like ripping and I that's what I'm saying. Yeah. It's uncomfortable. You're asking yourself. I had never had that. See, Pedro, I had never had that experience until I went off gluten. Because once you go off gluten and you try stuff after like a long time of not having gluten mm-hmm <affirmative>, then you can feel the symptoms on your body. Oh, okay. Okay. Gotcha. When, before it was kind of like normal. No. Yeah. So then, um, <foreign> uh, Ireland. I was really excited.
Speaker 1 00:20:49 Yeah. Cause in Ireland, Ireland, like, okay. I wanted to have a Guinness, a classic Guinness in a pub where they serve it. Like, you know, authentical mm-hmm <affirmative> and I don't even know what that was. I just know that's what I wanted. Yeah. And so interesting that last year, MK. Yeah. They let it sit.
Speaker 2 00:21:06 It's an art over
Speaker 1 00:21:07 There and then they start pouring it slowly again and let it rest a little bit. Like it takes like half an hour to get your Guinness beer. Cuz it's like chilling half
Speaker 2 00:21:15 The time. I, I mean Kentucky and then it has like a little DOMA foam over. It's just so beautiful. And
Speaker 1 00:21:21 It's like right at the cusp
Speaker 2 00:21:22 Right at the cusp. And then it's like fizzing, cascading, cascading down. And the color's changing mm-hmm <affirmative> it's just such a beautiful experience.
Speaker 1 00:21:29 Okay. It doesn't take 30 minutes, but it does take like a legit, like two to three
Speaker 2 00:21:32 Minutes it's
Speaker 1 00:21:35 Cuz they have to, they say that you have to wait for it to let it's settle. Yeah. They don't give it to you until after it's settled. Mm-hmm <affirmative> after it's settled, then the bartender gives it to
Speaker 2 00:21:42 You. You just wanna, you know,
Speaker 1 00:21:46 Well, you know, apparently it's not just a meeting because everybody, I keep every word that I got in the states came Guinness. I've never seen them. Wait. Oh. Is like qui
Speaker 2 00:21:57 Well, the thing is like I mostly had had Guinness on the bottle.
Speaker 1 00:22:01 Yeah. That's even worse. Apparently.
Speaker 2 00:22:03 Uhhuh. Yeah. So yo I don't know guys. Am I gonna like it here? Do I just like the crappy American one?
Speaker 1 00:22:10 Let me just say, wow,
Speaker 2 00:22:11 It's better. It's amazing. It's better in the motherland guys. You all gotta go. You like, if you like, even if you don't like stouts, you're gonna like it there
Speaker 1 00:22:20 <laugh> I was me with stouts. Like no ma if anything, I'd prefer not to. And I pretty much had exclusively Guinness the whole time. Mm-hmm <affirmative> I think once or twice I had a Heinen. Other than that, it was Guinness all day for
Speaker 2 00:22:35 Why I only had whiskey and Guinness. I
Speaker 1 00:22:37 Had
Speaker 2 00:22:37 Heine Guin. You can't stray from that.
Speaker 1 00:22:39 I had Heineken in like in, in the afternoon
Speaker 2 00:22:41 And an Irish whiskey,
Speaker 1 00:22:43 Irish whiskey,
Speaker 2 00:22:44 Irish whiskey. Come on James coffee.
Speaker 1 00:22:47 No, no. Before that, before that, so, um, another drink was, you know, Jameson, which is Irish whiskey. Right. And we didn't really know what to do with it. A lot of the time moon Chave we just kind of have it with like ginger ale. Yeah. And apparently that's how they have it. Yeah. And it's so funny because like the bartenders, they don't mix, they don't, they don't do cocktails, you know, and much, and all the pubs, like pubs, pubs, they authentics. Yeah. They're not mixologists. They're not out there shaking the Dery they're not out there doing the big drinks. It's just like, you want to drink. And if you wanted a ginger ale de the barrel in the whiskey and then the little bottle of ginger a on the side and like go crazy. Like that's it <foreign> and those two were our main go-to ones. Yeah. Ginger ale with Jameson and Guinness and in the man, like for brunch and like in the afternoons that me an Irish coffee was
Speaker 2 00:23:35 Irish coffee
Speaker 1 00:23:36 Was the thing.
Speaker 2 00:23:36 Yeah. The
Speaker 1 00:23:37 Whole, the whole vibe there was so interesting. Cause I haven't like when I started medication and when I started therapy, I stopped drinking. Like my it's I basically like eliminated it, you know? Mm-hmm <affirmative> like, it went to very, very, very rarely that I have a drink.
Speaker 2 00:23:52 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:23:53 Even in GGO I had like no drinks, you know? No NOK yeah. I don't know if it was like, okay, first of all, I wanna try that. You're
Speaker 2 00:24:01 You're a social drinker
Speaker 1 00:24:03 And I drink, I drank basically every day that I was there, which is crazy, you know, it's not like I was like, no, no, no. It was, it was something that I enjoyed. I didn't think I was gonna enjoy it as much, but always because first of all, like mm-hmm <affirmative> yes. Was the sauna. It's just the pubs that are open mm-hmm <affirmative>. So we were walking in, in every place that we would go to and just be another pub,
Speaker 2 00:24:29 You know? Yeah. A bucket list for me was having an Irish whiskey at an Irish pub in Ireland.
Speaker 1 00:24:34 And that got done
Speaker 2 00:24:35 That moment for me. I took a picture. I was like, this is forever in my heart. I didn't have Jameson. I had green spot.
Speaker 1 00:24:42 Oh,
Speaker 2 00:24:42 That's right.
Speaker 1 00:24:43 Whiskey that's right.
Speaker 2 00:24:44 And I'm having a hard time finding it here, but I also didn't wanna bring it over. I was like, this is a moment, you know, I feel like I didn't want the let down of having it here and not tasting the same. Yeah. So I was like, no, this is for you and I green spot <laugh> yeah, yeah, exactly. And then, um, after I had it, the bartender was like, do you wanna, do you want another drink something different? And I was like, what's better than green spot. And he's like, here, nothing, nothing. <laugh> this is like the top thing. And I was like, okay, then I'll have another green spot. Mm-hmm <affirmative>
Speaker 1 00:25:19 Yeah. You really
Speaker 2 00:25:19 Like that one? I really loved it. It was so delicious.
Speaker 1 00:25:22 It's interesting to like, um, oh no, go ahead. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 00:25:25 I had it both ways. Neat. And what's
Speaker 1 00:25:28 The other way
Speaker 2 00:25:28 On the rocks on the rocks. Mm-hmm <affirmative> so, and it's good either
Speaker 1 00:25:31 Way. It's so interesting. KLOS pubs give Fumo. They all have, what is, you know, typical pub food bar food, right.
Speaker 2 00:25:37 Same.
Speaker 1 00:25:38 And usually you and I are not big into that. Like, you know, um, like burgers
Speaker 2 00:25:42 And fries. I can't really have a lot of those foods. We're just like, yeah. When I'm traveling, I'm more Le like I'm more, you know, lenient and I'm like, okay. I mean, this is what it is,
Speaker 1 00:25:49 But which is interesting. The point that, that I would love to get to is that okay, we ate fries, we ate burgers, we ate chicken wings. We ate bar food.
Speaker 2 00:25:57 Oh yeah, that's right. We
Speaker 1 00:25:58 Did, you know, we ate out and rushed
Speaker 2 00:26:00 Out. I was like, when did we have chicken wings? That's where we had that one night.
Speaker 1 00:26:03 And I did not feel bloated. Like I feel when we eat out a lot here. Nope. I did not feel like mm-hmm <affirmative> and I don't know if it's because it's less processed GOM. Yeah. I don't know if they use, like, it more has to be simple ingredients, but it's no coincidence that we were eating out a lot and we did not feel like we've eaten.
Speaker 2 00:26:21 I mean, we ate out every day and we felt and walk everywhere too.
Speaker 1 00:26:25 Felt
Speaker 2 00:26:25 Good. And it was like nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:26:28 I wish we could have that here in the states. I,
Speaker 2 00:26:30 I, well, we're gonna, or we have to move <laugh> yeah.
Speaker 1 00:26:34 It's it's
Speaker 2 00:26:35 And I think I would live there. I would totally live in Ireland if we could afford it.
Speaker 1 00:26:39 Yeah. Think something about that particular place, you know, in doubling again, you know, we, we love the culture. We love the people. There's a lot of history obviously about that. Mm-hmm <affirmative> um, we've checked out museums. Um, we've checked out, you know, the distilleries, we checked out the breweries, we checked out mm-hmm <affirmative> um, the, the coastline,
Speaker 2 00:26:58 I mean, just walking on cobblestone. Yeah. Don't you think like, just, and seeing castles, like there's legit castles in Dublin
Speaker 1 00:27:07 Casually a us,
Speaker 2 00:27:08 You know, just hanging out. Yeah. Just part of life. And it's weird to see, I mean, we have history here in Arizona, but I feel the history, you know, lies in what's passed down to you because I mean, textbooks can only, you know, tell you so much.
Speaker 1 00:27:24 Yeah. There, you see it and you live it and it's part of it.
Speaker 2 00:27:27 Yeah, exactly. And that's great. But monument or anything here that you can be like back in the 1800 it's like,
Speaker 1 00:27:34 I mean, we have a small web bit of a
Speaker 2 00:27:36 Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:27:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. I know what you mean. Yeah. I know. And that's just dumpling. Yeah. Like there's still so more of Ireland that was left to be seen. Mm-hmm <affirmative> again, we were only there for a week and it was an action packed week and we were busy every single day. See BELE, just being able to take in the nature, the fact that there was nature in a capital, right. We were not in a botanical garden. We were not in a,
Speaker 2 00:27:57 We didn't go seek it out. It was just there.
Speaker 1 00:27:59 It was just there. And that's ridiculous. But is that we're in the desert, you know <laugh> and when we go to like big cities, we know how dirty big cities can get. It was nice to see that contrast.
Speaker 2 00:28:10 I couldn't tell who it was homeless. Were there homeless people?
Speaker 1 00:28:13 I don't know if they, you know, I don't, I don't know. I didn't see him. I was looking for, obviously I know that there's more immigration going on in Ireland. So I
Speaker 2 00:28:21 Was lucky. See, oh yeah. There's a lot of diversity too
Speaker 1 00:28:23 There, like it's, it's been really exploding. So I was kind of seeing where they were living. Cause I was like, okay, those guys <inaudible>. Hmm. Where are they at? You know? And
Speaker 2 00:28:33 Um, and the president had opened, um, the borders, the borders for Ukrainian refugees. So
Speaker 1 00:28:39 We were, you saw up any of those.
Speaker 2 00:28:41 We were, you know, if you guys are wondering what it's like to be in Europe, in a, during our European war, it was pretty legit in Ireland. <laugh> they're just so welcoming and nice. They're just kinda like welcoming, come have a beer with us. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:28:52 Inspirations to me, they year with us. Yeah. Immigrations I in, there was a lot of immigrants working there and um, yeah, to being, it was cool to see the
Speaker 2 00:28:58 Gay Nigerians mm-hmm <affirmative> um, Indians mm-hmm
Speaker 1 00:29:01 <affirmative> there was this Nigerian, uh, couple, or like, you know, like this group of, of, um, Nigerians that were in the pub the first night that we went to mm-hmm <affirmative> and they walked in and they were just like super cool looking like this guy was super fly. This guy was super
Speaker 2 00:29:16 Swamp. I mean, aren't, they just naturally,
Speaker 1 00:29:18 And he had like this super wild hairdo. Right. And the bartender was like, I don't know if I can pull off your hairdo
Speaker 2 00:29:24 Into it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:29:25 And the guy's like, if you believe in yourself and you love yourself, you can pull off anything. I was like, my God bro, who says something. So, so uplifting right now, like El
Speaker 2 00:29:33 A king S a straight up king.
Speaker 1 00:29:39 I
Speaker 2 00:29:39 Know Nigerian women are just out of this world, but it was just so nice. Cuz I mean, we live in a heavily Hispanic area
Speaker 1 00:29:46 And that's one of the things that we've
Speaker 2 00:29:48 Like when I step out of it, I love it.
Speaker 1 00:29:50 I love that. Particularly the CA in Ireland, it wasn't just Irish people that we were meeting. There was people from all over the UK, we met, you know, people from Spain, people from, um, from London, people from
Speaker 2 00:30:02 All Mexicans Or Mexicano,
Speaker 1 00:30:09 All the cab drivers were telling us like, oh yeah, my kids, you know, they're gonna go to, they're gonna go to Spain later, you know? And then probably next weekend, they're gonna go
Speaker 2 00:30:17 South France
Speaker 1 00:30:17 And they're gonna go south of France. And I'm like, wait, what? Like how, how are you guys doing this? Like these are bucket list items for us. Yeah. I know. And for them it's a weekend planned,
Speaker 2 00:30:26 But you know what, for them, New York is like a bucket list. San Fran, LA, not very much Arizona, but you know what? Um, there is this British girl that I follow on TikTok. Well, I don't follow her. I feel like she's just everywhere. Mm-hmm <affirmative> and she's from, um, England. Mm-hmm <affirmative> she came and she was in. Hmm. Okay. So for them, their bucket list is like, you know, it's just nice America, I guess. Right, right. Because they've never been maybe
Speaker 1 00:30:56 Cause the states is so huge. They get like even
Speaker 2 00:30:58 San Diegos it's exhausting. Huge in a long trip. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:31:01 Like San Francisco, that's a long trip. Mm-hmm
Speaker 2 00:31:04 <affirmative> I mean, I don't think there's a coincidence of why like where the 13 colonies started. It's very European. Right. And then, you know, you get to over here where like this was Mexico and it was like land people wanted land <laugh> so yeah. Makes sense. Kind of
Speaker 1 00:31:20 It does. But the way I did like the inclusivity academy. Yeah. The Scottish people, you know, I, I, I think
Speaker 2 00:31:25 We, we met a man named lucky,
Speaker 1 00:31:27 I think. Um, I think I'm Scottish. I think I am.
Speaker 2 00:31:30 I think you are.
Speaker 1 00:31:30 Cause I, when I saw these Scottish people, like, you know, big people, barely men, you know, PIs like Jack check,
Speaker 2 00:31:38 Check Belos PIs <laugh> and like,
Speaker 1 00:31:41 They're all like, Hey, how's it going? And they come in, they're talking like
Speaker 2 00:31:44 We need to go to Scotland and do a podcast called pilos please
Speaker 1 00:31:53 Meredith from, from brave.

Speaker 1 00:39:11 Why
Speaker 2 00:39:12 I need to go have that moment.
Speaker 1 00:39:15 It feels unfair
Speaker 2 00:39:16 That, yeah, I can't no Uhhuh.
Speaker 1 00:39:18 I almost feel guilty. That CA is within a lot more <laugh> than
Speaker 2 00:39:22 Congo. Well, the, we, that trip was on our terms too. That's true. Yeah. We planned most of it. So I
Speaker 1 00:39:27 Gotta go hit that. I gotta get that vibe, sensation care in Ireland. I gotta go get it over there.
Speaker 2 00:39:32 Yeah, let's go. So let's do
Speaker 1 00:39:34 It. All right. And then we go to Scotland, Uhhuh, and then we stop in Ireland. PA say goodbye,
Speaker 2 00:39:38 PA goodbye.
Speaker 1 00:39:39 Say goodbye.
Speaker 2 00:39:40 We need to find like an Airbnb in the countryside. Okay. Since, since we hit Dublin hard.
Speaker 1 00:39:46 Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:39:46 Like I feel like by the last day that we had steak, I was feeling like,
Speaker 1 00:39:54 Like we did not
Speaker 2 00:39:55 Sad. You know, like, like I was feeling,
Speaker 1 00:39:58 We
Speaker 2 00:39:58 Know Dublin Mik. This was great. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the experience. I love Ireland. Mm-hmm <affirmative> um, I wanna go back to the countryside. Any countryside, honestly, I feel like in Scotland too, I haven't looked into the city much. What's I
Speaker 1 00:40:16 Have no idea that asked me. I
Speaker 2 00:40:18 Dunno. I didn't even know it was ES Scocia. Yeah. I don't know until recently.
Speaker 1 00:40:21 So all I know is that I'm gonna go to
Speaker 2 00:40:23 Scotland, but I feel like it's an unfair advantage. So I think we should go back to Cancun, like somewhere in the, in the Riviera, somewhere, not Cancun specifically,
Speaker 1 00:40:32 But like a Pueblo, Mexico where we kind of get that feel right. Or something like that or more.
Speaker 2 00:40:36 Yeah. We gotta go back to Mexico or
Speaker 1 00:40:37 A local place. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:40:39 It's Pueblo
Speaker 1 00:40:40 Place. <laugh> and we cannot recommend Ireland enough. The people were great. As we've said
Speaker 2 00:40:48 This million times, people, the beer, the food, I mean, it's very much rooted I'm I'm assuming a lot of American food is rooted from there because of the immigrants. Right. Who came here. So Papa and <laugh>. Yeah. Like burgers,
Speaker 1 00:41:00 Like, you know? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 00:41:02 It's it's pretty much the same. Yeah. Nothing really like,
Speaker 1 00:41:05 But without the processing and the
Speaker 2 00:41:07 Costage apparently yeah. We don't do blood sausage, which is the thing there. Yeah. But uh, if you wanna have it go for it, but like, we didn't have it. That was more like, I guess Irish traditional sausage. But uh, other than that, the beer's great. The whiskey's great. Mm-hmm <affirmative> the people are even better. Mm-hmm
Speaker 1 00:41:25 <affirmative> go

Go check it out again. At countdown travels, there was a conversation that was super interesting, cuz we were in super like amounts of taxis. We were in taxis all the time. Like the first few days before we started saying, Hey, this is good. Kind of crazy. Let's like jump on a training on the bus now mm-hmm <affirmative> and we spoke to a lot of taxi drivers. That's where I was kind of getting most of the stories. If it wasn't a taxi, it was a pub, you know, or the park cuz apparently people talk to the park. There also it's just an Ireland thing. People just talk there. And he was telling me about like historically out people would leave obviously Ireland to find jobs because the economy wasn't so hot mm-hmm <affirmative> and they're in their first point in history, in their history where there's jobs coming into Ireland and how people are either moving back
Speaker 2 00:44:35 Or moving to
Speaker 1 00:44:35 Or moving to mm-hmm <affirmative> and it was so interesting that he was mentioning something about, um, was it his kids or was it like, you know, his family members?
Speaker 2 00:44:43 I think he just generalized like most, most generations who left went to, you know, England or anywhere else.
Speaker 1 00:44:53 Let's say the states Uhhuh, uh,
Speaker 2 00:44:55 That just left
Speaker 1 00:44:56 Had kids,
Speaker 2 00:44:57 Kids. And then some of those kids are coming
Speaker 1 00:45:00 Back that's right. And the kids are kind of like sticking out, you know? Not because like, I mean they look high risk, you know, but they don't have the accent mm-hmm <affirmative> and we've seen Irish families here in the states first generation and we thought they had an accent mm-hmm <affirmative> but apparently to a local, they
Speaker 2 00:45:17 Do not.
Speaker 1 00:45:17 Yeah. And that they're sticking out and it's so interesting. They get it's like so noticeable it's in the, they get like, oh you are now from here. And as people like us who can relate to the whole comment of, oh, you're not from here mm-hmm <affirmative> it really kind of like drives it home, you know? Like it did make me feel like Boto, <laugh> like <foreign>, you know, like they didn't choose to like, you know, not have the accent to the localized level that you guys having
Speaker 2 00:45:43 Like, and he talked about how like sometimes the accents kind of blend like the, if they went to England, like the English accent mixes with the Irish accent. And so they don't sound, they sound, they have their own sound <laugh> they have their own sound kind of like our Spanglish sound.
Speaker 1 00:45:58 That is cool because that's true. There was this bit with, um, John Edwards, almost like, you know, from Selena when he says that, you know, Mexican Americans, we have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans more American than the Americans. We have to speak better Spanish. We have to speak better English and we have to be perfect twice as perfect. And
Speaker 2 00:46:17 That's exhausting. That's exhausting.
Speaker 1 00:46:19 Right. You know, like obviously we, we laugh at it now and now we just kind embrace the fact that like that. Yeah. If anything, Somo, we have roots in both places mm-hmm <affirmative> and that's, we're in the, in between. And that's fine with that. And it's interesting and kind of nice to see that everyone in the world is pretty much going through the same thing because the first generations that are going back to Ireland, they're feeling the same way, you know, the mixture of language and how they express themselves. Even as something as simple as accent and being able to differentiate in Thero it's just a nice little reminder that gate, you know, that mixture and that being in between <laugh> it doesn't just happen here happens in other places. Mm-hmm
Speaker 2 00:47:04 <affirmative> I think that's why we related so much too. Yeah. To the area. It was really nice.
Speaker 1 00:47:09 So we relate to having roots in two places and the people that are there and they have roots from one place and another, we know what you feel like. And it made us feel like at home. And I think that's why we felt so comfortable in Ireland. But yeah, that, that was it. Um, with our Ireland trip,
Speaker 2 00:47:29 Uh, you have a criminal record in Ireland.
Speaker 1 00:47:31 Oh, that's
Speaker 2 00:47:32 Right. Although people are really nice.
Speaker 1 00:47:34 I have street cred.
Speaker 2 00:47:36 They are very, very, uh, their values and morals are very high <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:47:41 Apparently they don't like it when you ride the train for free.
Speaker 2 00:47:43 What don't do that guys?
Speaker 1 00:47:45 First of all, I knows like not for free, like
Speaker 2 00:47:49 We didn't know how the payment system was.
Speaker 1 00:47:50 Yeah. We don't know how the
Speaker 2 00:47:51 Payment system, it's not that, I mean, I knew it wasn't free, but I didn't know. Like they, you know,
Speaker 1 00:47:57 They go on an honor system, apparently mm-hmm <affirmative> and then they check your like tickets randomly, every other stop or something like that.
Speaker 2 00:48:04 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:48:04 And we were trying to get somewhere. I had no idea. I didn't know what time the next string was gonna catch on or rail was
Speaker 2 00:48:10 Gonna get to. And we had to get from a to B,
Speaker 1 00:48:12 So, and we're like, okay, let's just get on and we'll figure it out. You know, chances are me thinking if we have to pay on the exit, we'll just be on the exit mm-hmm <affirmative>
Speaker 2 00:48:20 So we get on and we sure did,
Speaker 1 00:48:23 You know, like a few stops later say cops and
Speaker 2 00:48:29 I don't think they're
Speaker 1 00:48:29 Cops, like, you know, let's say let's call 'em train security.
Speaker 2 00:48:32 They are enforcers enforcers of the train system.
Speaker 1 00:48:36 And
Speaker 2 00:48:36 Like they wear tickets, they wear their orange little BES.
Speaker 1 00:48:40 You said guard.
Speaker 2 00:48:42 They are guard. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:48:44 You know, and they have the power to arrest it. Cause I've seen
Speaker 2 00:48:47 It. Yeah. Yeah. They do. Yeah. But you
Speaker 1 00:48:49 Know, they were just like saying tickets, please tickets please. And I'm just,
Speaker 2 00:48:53 And had a little scanner
Speaker 1 00:48:54 And I'm like, okay, you guys don't freak out, but we're about get busted right
Speaker 2 00:48:59 Now. We might have, we might have messed up. We
Speaker 1 00:49:01 Are like, so going to jail, all of us right now.
Speaker 2 00:49:06 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:49:11 <laugh> and um, he got, and they said tickets please. And I was like, look, man, I am Z. How are you? But, um, I wasn't aware. I was thinking that we can just pay on the end. And he is like, no, I'm a, had to find you guys. And I was like, oh man, cuz he was gun was gonna be like, like 70 bucks, a person or 60 bucks, a person, 60
Speaker 2 00:49:30 Pounds. It was 40 euros. But I don't know what that,
Speaker 1 00:49:32 And it was 50 euros.
Speaker 2 00:49:33 Okay. Jesse,
Speaker 1 00:49:34 It was 50 euros. I don't know what that is in
Speaker 2 00:49:36 For the sake of the conversation. I'll let's I'll let you say it was
Speaker 1 00:49:38 50. It was minimum $500 per person.
Speaker 2 00:49:42 <laugh> <laugh> It was gonna be like what? Like 10 bucks. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:49:50 Like 10 bucks. So that instead of like paying 10 bucks, we ended up paying like 50, at least
Speaker 2 00:49:54 Per person.
Speaker 1 00:49:55 Well that's where the guy was nice. Cause he is like, okay. They were obviously following you, you know? And they meaning, you know, my wife and my two sister-in-laws like, obviously they're just doing what you're doing. And you're the one that said Sue UN in. So I'm not gonna find all of you. Mm-hmm <affirmative> I'm just gonna find one person who wants to be that person that gets fined. Yes. Evergreen Villa. I was like, I volunteer <laugh> I volunteer for tribute.
Speaker 2 00:50:21 <laugh> yeah, I have. It's funny. But we had to get off the next stop because it was kind of like he couldn't keep us. I mean, was it that our, was that our next stop?
Speaker 1 00:50:30 It was the stop anyways. Yeah. Oh, okay. Like I was like, bro, we're literally about to get off. Yeah. We should just got it off there. I, as soon as I saw that we just dipped out. But I was like, no. Yeah. And it was like, again,
Speaker 2 00:50:41 But he was the nicest person
Speaker 1 00:50:45 Like okay.
Speaker 2 00:50:47 We're tourist. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:50:48 Lesson learned his point is,
Speaker 2 00:50:51 But it was very, uh,
Speaker 1 00:50:52 I got street cred in Dublin. No big deal. What else?
Speaker 2 00:50:56 Ha
Speaker 1 00:50:58 You look at the,
Speaker 2 00:50:59 We made a joke about, uh, that even like the enforcers, there are like super sweet. <laugh> I
Speaker 1 00:51:05 Know they were so nice. They were like, they were so nice. How would you like your ticket? Would you like it in paper or plastic? You know like, oh, paper blade. This sounds fine. You know,
Speaker 2 00:51:12 It was so nice. He was really nice.
Speaker 1 00:51:15 So if you're gonna go over there, uh, go buy one of those like seven day passes that lets you use like the trained and the buses and the rails, you know, mm-hmm, <affirmative> all within Dublin. You guys,
Speaker 2 00:51:30 So there you have
Speaker 1 00:51:31 It there, you have it. Now, now that we are back here, we're back home. We're back in our bubble, in our stays in our routine, on the show. Mm-hmm <affirmative>. Now that we are self-employed I wanna talk about something that's gonna be interesting and that conversation is gonna be regarding hustle culture. Everybody is hustling nowadays, and there's something that I see a lot in the entrepreneur and online spaces, hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle, and we have some thoughts about that. That'll be for next week's episode of the 50 50, but until then we'll thank y'all for listening
Speaker 2 00:52:00 Too. The 50 50.
