Speaker 1: Okay, cool man, cool. Hmmm. This street, I've heard there's
Speaker 1: a lot of buskers on this street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, usually like when you're walking up and down this
Speaker 3: street and like you see them down there, they're like
Speaker 3: there's a lot of people usually.
Speaker 1: I saw it. I was researching like places to go
Speaker 1: and do this, and I saw a TikTok and it
Speaker 1: said the seven worst buskers of what's.
Speaker 3: The place called, Yeah, this is Grafton Street, the.
Speaker 1: Seven worst buskers of Grafton Street. And it put like
Speaker 1: names of people, like they filmed people singing, and we're
Speaker 1: like this person sucks, this person sucks, this one sucks. Really,
Speaker 1: are the buskers that bad?
Speaker 3: No, some of them are usually pretty good there, Okay,
Speaker 3: So I've never heard like some of them, Like I
Speaker 3: think some of them do fake it because I remember
Speaker 3: one time there's a guy with an acoustic like an
Speaker 3: acoustic guitar, but coming through the speaker was an electric guitar.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so I think some of them might fake it.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm this is the real thing right here. I
Speaker 1: don't know if this count. Does this count is busking?
Speaker 3: I mean I think it does, like still on the street,
Speaker 3: like performing for people to see.
Speaker 1: Okay, does that mean you're gonna give me money?
Speaker 3: I'm too poor to give money.
Speaker 1: That's okay. You can tell I'll tell you what instead
Speaker 1: of giving me money? You can tell me a secret.
Speaker 1: Do you have any secrets?
Speaker 3: Have any secrets?
Speaker 1: It's okay if you don't.
Speaker 3: I actually don't think I have any secrets.
Speaker 1: You don't have any secrets?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: Usually, I just kind of thought that sounds like.
Speaker 1: Something that someone who's trying to avoid Irish prison would say. Maybe,
Speaker 1: what's your name again? My nice baby Bailey, nice to meet.
Speaker 1: She has anything else you want to say to the
Speaker 1: people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 3: Give this amount a follow? He's really funny.
Speaker 1: And uh and next time they do the the rankings
Speaker 1: of the worst buskers on Graft graft and Street. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of want to be in it.
Speaker 3: It sounds funny that then he gets more, more views,
Speaker 3: more fame.
Speaker 1: God bless you, sir. Thank you for talking to a
Speaker 1: real get Thank.
Speaker 3: You very much for having me.

Speaker 6: nice restaurants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's out So you're like you're like, you're like,
Speaker 1: I've I've run into the Anthony Bourdain of Irelands. What's

Speaker 6: nice ramen place near the river.
Speaker 3: There's a really nice place near the river called Eat Tokyo.
Speaker 1: It's really nice Eat Tokyo. Okay, hmmm, what about like
Speaker 1: Irish traditional food anything?
Speaker 3: It's okay, all right, it's okay.
Speaker 6: Probably the best place would be like Johnny Fox's, but
Speaker 6: that's quite as quite a way away. It's actually the
Speaker 6: highest pub in Dublin, so.
Speaker 1: The highest public altitude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, it's like on like a mountain type thing.
Speaker 1: That's kind of cool because like you get an additional
Speaker 1: buzz because of the lack of oxygen.
Speaker 3: It helps with the guinness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're how old, are you? I'm the drink.
Speaker 1: It's the drinking age here.
Speaker 6: It's eighteen cool, although there's some places there are like
Speaker 6: twenty ones, which is kind of a buzz killed buzz.
Speaker 1: Which there are some bars where it's like where the
Speaker 1: bars are like, hey, we know the drinking age is eighteen,
Speaker 1: but you gotta be twenty one to get in here.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Why do you think they do that?
Speaker 6: Because they don't want the drunk UNI students messing around
Speaker 6: and everything.
Speaker 1: You're a UNI student, yeah, I assume you occasionally get drunk.
Speaker 3: I do yes?
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a good decision on their part,
Speaker 1: knowing what you know about drunk Uni students here.
Speaker 3: I think it's it's it's just ruins the v It
Speaker 3: just ruins the vibe.
Speaker 1: Well for you, But does a ruin the vibe do
Speaker 1: you think for anyone else?
Speaker 6: The most of the time they're like like old men's
Speaker 6: pubs all the time for like older people.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a bit of a it's a bit of
Speaker 1: a buzzkill. Okay. Do you what's your father do for
Speaker 1: he's a doctor. He's a doctor. Yeah, Okay, when you
Speaker 1: get sick, do you go to him and he tells
Speaker 1: you what's wrong with you and cures you. No.
Speaker 3: His his common response is it's cancer.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah you should well you'd be dead by now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he seems to be wrong all the time.
Speaker 1: Huh okay. I won't go to him then. Hmm. How
Speaker 1: easy is it to get a medical license here? Uh?
Speaker 6: Very difficult, really, it's the requirements to get into the
Speaker 6: UNI is very high and it's about seven years studying,
Speaker 6: I think, oh man, it's about six seven years.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But he's but he's not from We're not from here,
Speaker 6: like we're not actually Irish, Irish, but I've lived here
Speaker 6: basically all my life.
Speaker 1: Where you're from, we're German? Ah, yeah, okay, I've been
Speaker 1: talking to some German people on my travels. The language,
Speaker 1: you guys, language is hard to understand, it is.
Speaker 3: It is a bit difficult. Yeah, depending on where you
Speaker 3: go as well, Like.
Speaker 1: What's your dream in life? What do you what do
Speaker 1: you study?
Speaker 3: I'm studying medicine. I want to become a doctor.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, Oh so you want to be a doctor.
Speaker 3: I want to be a doctor as well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is it as easy as just telling people they have cancer?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 3: Definitely not.
Speaker 1: Okay, definitely not.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of studying involved in everything.
Speaker 1: Mm, why do you want to be a doctor? What
Speaker 1: is it about telling people they have cancer that is
Speaker 1: appealing to you?
Speaker 3: I guess like I just want to help people. I
Speaker 3: guess like.
Speaker 6: I really like I really like science and I really
Speaker 6: like helping people. So it's kind of the best combination
Speaker 6: of both.
Speaker 1: That's cool, man, What in what now in your daily life?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: As a UNI student do you in what ways do
Speaker 1: you feel like you help people? Already?
Speaker 6: I I provide to the economy by going to the pub.
Speaker 1: And that's why they should let you into those twenty
Speaker 1: one year exactly.
Speaker 3: We're stimulating the economy over here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you become you can become friends with
Speaker 1: all the old guys and you can like let them
Speaker 1: know when they have cancer.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 1: See that they should let you in. You could probably
Speaker 1: save a lot of old guys with cancer who don't
Speaker 1: even know they have it.
Speaker 3: Exactly.

Speaker 4: it's yeah, this is my chill home away from home.
Speaker 1: Okay, And uh, what do you think? What do you think?
Speaker 1: What have you learned from Ireland? What is Ireland brought
Speaker 1: to your soul and taught you?
Speaker 4: I think there's a huge adjustment in terms of the
Speaker 4: sense of humor. Honestly, how so, because you think Americans
Speaker 4: really make fun of each other, but no one they
Speaker 4: call it like ripping the piss out of someone. No
Speaker 4: one does that like the Irish people do. Really, how so,
Speaker 4: it's just brutal and there's no hard feelings pretty much
Speaker 4: of anything.
Speaker 1: See that guy. There was a guy who was gonna
Speaker 1: who I was talking to off the camera, who I
Speaker 1: was trying to get to sit down, but he was
Speaker 1: just talking to me from far and he said to me,
Speaker 1: how do you keep a moron in suspense? And I
Speaker 1: didn't mean I was a mean setup. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not falling into that. This guy was about to
Speaker 1: take take take the piss out me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't gonna be pretty.
Speaker 1: What do you have any tips for me as a
Speaker 1: as a young American?
Speaker 4: You got the first thing going. You already green?
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, so I was thinking I'm green.
Speaker 4: I matched the any other country you stand out here,
Speaker 4: They're just like, oh it's average Irish guy.
Speaker 1: What do you do here in in Irelands?
Speaker 10: What do I do?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do TikTok though, Oh cool man? What do you make?
Speaker 1: TikTok's about?
Speaker 5: I do?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 4: Dating advice, cooking music, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, So, uh, let's say I'm a young single
Speaker 1: Irish guy.
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 1: You know I've been I'm on uh all the Irish
Speaker 1: dating apps clover, Uh, there's more pot of.
Speaker 4: Gole nice, a couple more you're missing.
Speaker 1: What are some other Irish dating apps? Beer Buddies, beer Buddies.
Speaker 1: I've tried them all and none of them work. What
Speaker 1: do you recommend to me in.
Speaker 4: Terms of the dating apps or dating advice I would
Speaker 4: give Irish people?
Speaker 1: You know, what is dating advice you would give specifically
Speaker 1: Irish people?
Speaker 4: Curious dating advice i'd give Irish people is give up. No,
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding, ok, I'm just kidding. I actually do
Speaker 4: think people everywhere in terms of dating have kind of
Speaker 4: just given up everywhere. But I feel like the shared
Speaker 4: sense of losing hope is what keeps it fun, you know,
Speaker 4: the shared sense of losing hope, because everyone goes on
Speaker 4: first dates now and they're like, oh, it's probably gonna
Speaker 4: be some bullshit, you know, you think so. Yeah, See,
Speaker 4: the last time you went on a first date about
Speaker 4: a month ago to go honestly, went pretty well. But
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody ever goes expecting too much anymore
Speaker 4: because that I've heard a lot, especially from girls, that
Speaker 4: a lot of letdowns scenarios happening.
Speaker 1: Okay, did you you went on first dated?
Speaker 2: Was it here?
Speaker 9: It was?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay? Was she another America?
Speaker 5: Was she?
Speaker 4: No, she's Irish. I always keep it super casual. On
Speaker 4: the first day. I go for just a little drink
Speaker 4: and then a little walk around.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, it was fun cool, nice man. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're tall, handsome guy. I'm sure your dates
Speaker 1: to go well, it was it was cool.
Speaker 4: You know what's so funny? Back in the day. I
Speaker 4: haven't even in my whole life, been on that many
Speaker 4: first dates. Yeah, but I went on one first date
Speaker 4: once and it was so awkward, Like I was like
Speaker 4: fresh out of a relationship. I was like scared to
Speaker 4: be talking to new girls, and it was the most
Speaker 4: awkward I've ever been in my life. I'm nervous, like shaking,
Speaker 4: quivering voice, couldn't ask a question. And then once that happened,
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm never going to have an awkward
Speaker 4: first date ever again, I said the Mara, Okay, so
Speaker 4: you learned, you were, like, I was like, I'm never
Speaker 4: going to do that again.
Speaker 1: M okay, okay, what did you What did you learn
Speaker 1: to make it so that you would never do that again?
Speaker 4: Honestly? Just always be asking questions instead of be worried
Speaker 4: about what you're gonna say next. Really listen, it's what
Speaker 4: you do, Like this why you're so good at what
Speaker 4: you do. You're a good listener.
Speaker 1: Is this Are we kind of on like a date
Speaker 1: right now? A little bit? Oh? This is sweet? This
Speaker 1: is very sweet. Yeah, you know it's true. I mean
Speaker 1: it's really you know what's crazy?
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 1: Like? It's not? It's to me, it's so much easier
Speaker 1: to ask questions and to sit there and talk about
Speaker 1: yourself all the time, like try to be interesting. Like
Speaker 1: trying to be interesting is exhausting. You could just sit
Speaker 1: there and ask questions about the other person and then
Speaker 1: they talk and you listen, and that's the easiest way
Speaker 1: to do it. Why would you? I don't know why
Speaker 1: that's not I guess most people's first inclination.
Speaker 4: My mom told me if you're if you're talking more
Speaker 4: than fifty percent of the time, you're losing. Don't do that.
Speaker 4: She's just like, you gotta just be you gotta be
Speaker 4: listening way more than that, way more than fifty percent.
Speaker 1: Is your mom in a relationship or is she single?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 4: But my mom's a genius. She she like interviews people
Speaker 4: for a living.

Speaker 1: What's uh do you do? You think that very soon
Speaker 1: you'll you'll find love forever and ever?

Speaker 15: at the moment, I'm in phases where I like picking weeds.
Speaker 13: Off the ground and making them into things.

Speaker 1: Do you know how you can turn a dandylion into
Speaker 1: a burger? Yeah?

Speaker 15: make it into honey. You can make it, you can
Speaker 15: fry it, you can eat it raw, you can do
Speaker 15: so many things. They're so healthy. Nettles have vitamin K
Speaker 15: in them. You can knock at vimin ka and like any.
Speaker 1: Food, vitamin K. I've never even heard of it.
Speaker 13: Yeah, exactly it's so rare, it's like so goofrious.
Speaker 1: So try now, okay, I'll try. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: really see any dandelions around.
Speaker 13: Don't don't eat down lines in town.
Speaker 15: You probably get like so mad disease that's never been
Speaker 15: like you, or do you live.
Speaker 1: Here in Dublin or Okay, yeah, I was asking somebody
Speaker 1: else's question, what what do what do the Irish think
Speaker 1: of Americans?
Speaker 13: Make sure you want to know?
Speaker 1: He said the same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh I don't know.
Speaker 13: Well, first of all, you see the way American people
Speaker 13: say Ireland just.
Speaker 1: Really paces off Ireland.
Speaker 15: It's not Ireland, it's are so like Ireland. Say yeah, yeah,
Speaker 15: more like that, you know.
Speaker 2: But if I said that to.
Speaker 1: One of my friends in America, they punched me in
Speaker 1: the face.
Speaker 15: Okay, but like, oh, there are probably people that are like,
Speaker 15: oh my great granny's dogs friends like child is from Ireland.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well I just talked to somebody who like she was
Speaker 1: here with her whole family and they were all Irish
Speaker 1: and they came back here to uh get in touch
Speaker 1: with their roots.
Speaker 15: Oh well no, that's cool, that's dead Okay, But like, yeah,
Speaker 15: I think a lot of Americans are chill. If more
Speaker 15: Americans like you come over, I think you'd definitely get
Speaker 15: you know, like the people like Americans more higher up?
Speaker 2: Do you know that way?
Speaker 1: Everywhere I've gone in Europe, when I've asked that question,
Speaker 1: they all look at me and say, are you sure
Speaker 1: you want to know? They say it exactly like that,
Speaker 1: you do you want me to tell you the truth?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 15: Well, like, I mean there's some that like give you
Speaker 15: a really bad rep but no, I think I think
Speaker 15: you're okay if you're not just being just like respect
Speaker 15: the areas that you're in and stuften your grant.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, what should is there anything that? Like, you know,
Speaker 1: people who don't know anything about Ireland's or Dublin or
Speaker 1: or life here or anything like that, like what what
Speaker 1: what would you want them to know?
Speaker 15: Not everyone are alcoholics, I promise you that's one of
Speaker 15: your guys just pr issues.
Speaker 2: We have our own.
Speaker 13: But yeah, no, I will say they're a lot of alcoholics.
Speaker 13: But also.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 15: Definitely, if you're coming to Ireland, check out Galway or.
Speaker 13: Somewhere like that, that's really really nice.
Speaker 15: I wouldn't say exactly to go to Dublin because like
Speaker 15: Dublin is a bit of like it kind of. I
Speaker 15: don't know, it's not fantastic. I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend
Speaker 15: it to everyone, to be honest. But oh, actually Stephen's
Speaker 15: Green there, no.
Speaker 1: Watch, that's the park right. I walked through there to get.
Speaker 13: That's where all the public executions used to be.
Speaker 15: Oh really yeah, And there was a woman, Darky Kelly,
Speaker 15: and she was the last woman to be burnt as
Speaker 15: a west in Ireland.
Speaker 1: Not too long ago there, that was it before or
Speaker 1: after nineteen ninety Oh no, no, way, way, way before.
Speaker 15: Okay, we're not that like, not that crazy. Yeah, well
Speaker 15: you could go to her pub. It's just like down
Speaker 15: the road near to Yeah. She was Actually she was
Speaker 15: a serial killer. She killed five of her husbands and
Speaker 15: she stored them all in the floorboards of the pub
Speaker 15: and people go there and drink and they never knew
Speaker 15: and then they discovered it and they're like, oh, well
Speaker 15: she got away with it for so long, she must
Speaker 15: be a witch. So she was burnt as a witch.
Speaker 15: Oh actually no, don't call me that. She's execute as witch.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she was burnt, which the shit
Speaker 1: they got her on being a witch? Not for killing
Speaker 1: five people.
Speaker 15: Yeah, oh wow, they couldn't believe that a woman would
Speaker 15: kill that many people get away with it.
Speaker 13: She's a way.
Speaker 1: I guess that's the one time where like missogyny did
Speaker 1: someone a favor.
Speaker 13: I don't know she was still executed.
Speaker 1: Oh I guess not because it was like, oh, a
Speaker 1: woman couldn't murder five people.
Speaker 15: Yeah, well, I guess she got away with it like
Speaker 15: five times because she probably just acted innocent.
Speaker 1: So and now people go there to like drink with
Speaker 1: the ghosts of the dead.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 15: It's actually it gets pretty packed, especially I went there
Speaker 15: for you ever heard twelve pubs?
Speaker 2: What is it you do?
Speaker 13: Twelve pubs of Christmas?
Speaker 1: The twelve pubs of Christmas? Yeah?
Speaker 13: Right, well there's another thing Americans certain.
Speaker 1: This is really fun, right, what's the twelve pubs of Christmas?
Speaker 13: So Christmas?
Speaker 15: You know, like the song the twelve something Christmas, you
Speaker 15: go to twelve pubs. Each pub you get a point in, okay,
Speaker 15: and you also have a real for in each pub.
Speaker 15: So one would be like you want your friends has
Speaker 15: to feed a drink, or you're not allowed to use
Speaker 15: your phones, or like there's a different ones you're not
Speaker 15: allowed your feet on the ground the whole time or
Speaker 15: something like that.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 15: Each pub has a rule too, Yeah, and you have
Speaker 15: to drink in every pub, so they have to have
Speaker 15: twelve pints. So me and my friends did twelve pubs.

Speaker 1: the universe. Thank you very much for talking to a gecko.
Speaker 1: What's what's your name is? Bell? Nice to meet you.
Speaker 1: How's life going?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 7: Good?
Speaker 9: Better than before?
Speaker 1: Why was it not as good before? If you if
Speaker 1: you don't want to tell me, you don't have to.
Speaker 9: It's kind of serious.
Speaker 1: If you if you are down to tell me, you can,
Speaker 1: I'm down to talk about something serious if you want.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 9: I'm half Russian, half Irish and a lot of my
Speaker 9: friends are from Ukraine, and it's kind of like stepping
Speaker 9: on ice right now because the situation's really tough. But
Speaker 9: I fully support Ukraine. Yeah, but yeah, like my Russian
Speaker 9: family is kind of tough because everyone's on different sides
Speaker 9: of things, and you know, I kind of feel like
Speaker 9: the television in Russia it's very one sided. You can't
Speaker 9: really get opinions from both sides. But yeah, so that's
Speaker 9: lately been on my mind a lot.
Speaker 1: Where in Russia is all your family? Do you go
Speaker 1: to Russia often?
Speaker 3: Ever?
Speaker 9: I used to do more often than now, But I
Speaker 9: don't think I haven't been there in two years.
Speaker 1: So yeah, is it like a really divisive thing between
Speaker 1: you and your family? Like have you guys gotten into like,
Speaker 1: you know, altercations about it?
Speaker 9: Well, me personally because I haven't been there in a
Speaker 9: while and I'm only like doing some phone calls.
Speaker 1: Uh no.
Speaker 9: But with my mom it's kind of like, you know,
Speaker 9: my mom and my uncle are very very on opposite
Speaker 9: sides of things. Okay, so yeah, I kind of saw
Speaker 9: it common. My my uncle has like a Donald Trump phone.
Speaker 1: Case and it's like Donald Trump focused and he's Russian,
Speaker 1: he's Russian. Yet do people in Russia like love Donald Trump?
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's so funny that they sell do
Speaker 1: where the fuck did You're like there's some I'm no,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like there's some store in Moscow that's like
Speaker 1: killing it with selling Donald Trump phone cases.
Speaker 9: But I don't know. But uh I feel like if
Speaker 9: you're if you're supporting putin, you probably support some of
Speaker 9: the ideologies that Donald Trump had.
Speaker 1: Okay, see, I'm I'm I'm very I don't know, well exactly,
Speaker 1: I know there's a war, yes, that's all I really know. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't be the person that's like super informed either,
Speaker 9: because like if you're Irish, and yeah, like this this
Speaker 9: country is very open with how many things you can
Speaker 9: see and read about because I consume the internet in English,
Speaker 9: so I'm more able to see other opinions, but you can.
Speaker 9: I can also read Ukrainian media because some of it's
Speaker 9: in Russian. So I consider myself definitely lucky to be
Speaker 9: able to see both sides.
Speaker 1: Does your family speak English or they only speak Russian?
Speaker 5: Both?
Speaker 1: Okay? Cool?
Speaker 9: My mom she so she married my dad who's Irish,
Speaker 9: and they met because my dad was able to speak
Speaker 9: some Russian and he was working in Russia. But my mom,
Speaker 9: from the very beginning, she's been very she loved learning
Speaker 9: English and that definitely like opened her up to meet
Speaker 9: more and more people who had different views. And I
Speaker 9: feel like over time, I'm like my mom and.
Speaker 1: My uncle very kind of drifted apart. Yeah. Do they
Speaker 1: still talk to each other at least? Oh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, all the time.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's so they're still close, but they they scuff. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: And when did you move here from Russia?
Speaker 9: When I was eight?
Speaker 1: When you're eight?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, cool.
Speaker 9: Now I'm almost twenty.
Speaker 1: Four, Okay, cool, what do you do you go to
Speaker 1: school or do you work?
Speaker 9: I work and I'm in college.

Speaker 9: a coffee grinder, like make the textures of the wood
Speaker 9: and all that.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 9: I definitely want to go back to it if I
Speaker 9: get the chance.
Speaker 1: Nice. Nice, Nice. What's your ultimate goal? Like what do
Speaker 1: you want to do with your life?
Speaker 9: I want to work doing design for different companies and
Speaker 9: maybe start my own sustainability company, like I really care
Speaker 9: about the planet and use my languages because I speak
Speaker 9: a lot of languages and I'm learning. I want to
Speaker 9: speak ten fluently by the age of thirty.
Speaker 1: All right, we got English, we got Russian? What else
Speaker 1: we got Japanese? You speak fluent Japanese.
Speaker 9: As like I've lost some overtime, but I want to
Speaker 9: keep it up. Yeah, okay, Japanese, French, French, and right
Speaker 9: now I'm learning Arabic, Portuguese and some HINDI have you been.
Speaker 1: To all these like countries before? Are you just learning
Speaker 1: this like on YouTube?
Speaker 9: Like Japan and France, I've been. I've lived for two
Speaker 9: years in France when else where I'm studying three D animation.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. Huh what and so, so you want to
Speaker 1: learn ten different languages and then what do you like?
Speaker 1: That sounds very difficult? What's your plan to do that?
Speaker 1: Like just a lot of due lingo premium.
Speaker 9: I'm not the biggest fan of dealing. Tell me why
Speaker 9: they teach you the most random vocab? It makes no sense.
Speaker 1: It kind of doesn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 9: If anyone speaks Portuguese. Like the only sentence I can
Speaker 9: say right now is el somala, which means I eat
Speaker 9: an orange? And like, where am I going to use
Speaker 9: that now?
Speaker 2: Like I remember that more than well if you ate.
Speaker 1: Let's say you go to Portugal and you eat an
Speaker 1: orange and then someone says, what did you have to
Speaker 1: eat today? You'll be like, thank god, I gave twelve
Speaker 1: dollars to do lingo, I can I can respond to
Speaker 1: this question now.

Speaker 1: And I don't always your uncle like a Facebook uncle guy,
Speaker 1: he's like a does he do memes? Does he post
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump Eagle memes on Facebook?
Speaker 9: I haven't seen any of those, but I see some
Speaker 9: like ridiculous content, and like every once in a while,
Speaker 9: from like the other room, I can hear my mom going,
Speaker 9: oh there he goes again.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's I guess. It's cool that your
Speaker 1: mom and your uncle like still are like they haven't

Speaker 1: completely out of their sever like okay. Interesting.
Speaker 9: And then my dad's really irish, so it's like I've
Speaker 9: got really Irish, really Russian. My Irish family is huge
Speaker 9: and they're all very musical, and uh yeah, like the
Speaker 9: polar opposite.
Speaker 1: Are you musical? Yeah, you're like a You're like a
Speaker 1: renaissance woman. You're speaking all these languages. What do you play?
Speaker 9: I can play, but I mostly singing.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah? Is that something that you aspire to do,
Speaker 1: like like you record music or anything like that.
Speaker 9: I do have some friends who are singers, so I've
Speaker 9: been thinking about it, but I don't know if my
Speaker 9: anxiety is like, I mean, I'm doing this now, so
Speaker 9: I'm okay. But I have had stage moments that have
Speaker 9: been embarrassing, like what.
Speaker 1: Okay, Uh.
Speaker 9: When I was a teenager, I was in like a
Speaker 9: song theater and dusk dance school and they had us
Speaker 9: in this ridiculous outfit. They were like these balloon pants
Speaker 9: like hammer time trousers, and I was way up at
Speaker 9: the front and I stomped my foot at the very
Speaker 9: end of the song. It was almost over, and the
Speaker 9: I hooked the balloon pants and they went down.
Speaker 1: Oh no, were you? Were you wearing anything under the pants?
Speaker 1: Of course? Okay, okay, we.
Speaker 9: Have hot pants, which are basically black shorts. But like
Speaker 9: it's still burnt into my memory.
Speaker 1: So you know what, man, here's the thing nobody else
Speaker 1: probably remembers that. Yeah, I'm maybe like a couple of people. Actually,
Speaker 1: you know what's funny is like me and my friends
Speaker 1: like from when was this in high school?
Speaker 3: You said, when was this?
Speaker 9: Uh, just at the brink of high school? So here
Speaker 9: it's secondary school in like thirteen.
Speaker 1: It's funny, right because you're always like ah, man, like
Speaker 1: you know, nobody remember that embarrassing thing. But then like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've experienced this, Like do you
Speaker 1: and your friends from high school ever like talk about
Speaker 1: something embarrassing that somebody else did? Yes, but like probably not.
Speaker 1: You seem like a good person, you say that you
Speaker 1: don't do that very often.
Speaker 9: I feel like the people were talking about as ourselves
Speaker 9: like we were the cringe.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, I.
Speaker 9: Know for a fact that there are some people going
Speaker 9: around going like remember her, like she she did that
Speaker 9: weird thing, and honestly, same.
Speaker 1: I think. I think, you know, people have this obsession
Speaker 1: with not being cringey or annoying or embarrassing, but like
Speaker 1: what so what that's not of all the things you
Speaker 1: could be that's not that's not a bad It's not
Speaker 1: that bad to be annoying. It's like, you know, I'd
Speaker 1: rather be annoying than like, I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 1: don't be you know, evil, Yeah, but like being cringey
Speaker 1: or annoying is you know, who gives a ship?
Speaker 9: I mean, if you weren't cringey before, you're going to
Speaker 9: be cringing.
Speaker 1: Now true, you're going you will be born cringing, and
Speaker 1: then you will You're born a cringey little kid and
Speaker 1: you die a cringey old person. Yeah, and there's some
Speaker 1: comfort in that for sure.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Hmm. Oh, I want to add, what do you think?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: What do the Irish think of Americans?
Speaker 9: Do you want the good part?
Speaker 1: Or everyone says that everyone makes that exact same fucking face.
Speaker 3: I've asked.
Speaker 1: You're the third person I asked, and they all make
Speaker 1: that face. Tell me the bad part and then tell
Speaker 1: me the good part. I'm glad you have a good part.
Speaker 1: The dude, they have a good part.
Speaker 9: The one that I noticed the most that my friends
Speaker 9: we all agree on. Please don't get upset.
Speaker 1: Oh, I won't get upset.
Speaker 9: Y'all have a completely different decibel when you speak now
Speaker 9: just to say I sound American because I went to
Speaker 9: an American style school in Russia, so my first exposure
Speaker 9: to English was through this accent. Okay, but uh yeah,
Speaker 9: whenever I'm on the Dublin bus and I will hear
Speaker 9: somebody who I just know they're from the US because
Speaker 9: they're the only person I can hear, Like people talk
Speaker 9: in the bus. It's not like in Japan when I
Speaker 9: was there, Like everyone's quiet, but yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 9: there's no whisper voice really. And then the other thing
Speaker 9: is uh yeah, like you'll have like a distant, distant,
Speaker 9: distant relative from like back from the famine, and then
Speaker 9: you'll say you're Irish. Oh yeah, like you have Irish ancestry,
Speaker 9: but you're not really Irish.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people claim and claim in Irish.
Speaker 9: They'll come in here and they'll say, oh, I'm I'm
Speaker 9: from Ireland. And just the way you said Ireland.
Speaker 14: The other girl was here was upset about that Irish Ireland. Yeah,
Speaker 14: it's Ireland, Ireland. It's like our land, Ireland, Ireland.
Speaker 1: Did I say it right?
Speaker 9: You're getting there?
Speaker 1: Okay, give me the good stuff, Okay, the.
Speaker 9: Good stuff is uh you guys are very.

Speaker 9: in Dublin if you walked in and you were like
Speaker 9: dressed is slightly different. Everybody around you is gonna be like,
Speaker 9: look at them, like very judgy. And I feel like
Speaker 9: in the US people are a little bit more able
Speaker 9: to walk out and wear what they want.
Speaker 1: I will say when I will when I walk through
Speaker 1: like a major US city in this people actually I
Speaker 1: get I get a varied amount of responses everywhere I
Speaker 1: go with this. But I don't know if I don't
Speaker 1: know if this is the kind of outfit that you're
Speaker 1: talking about necessarily, I.
Speaker 9: Mean, you could be part I mean, are you confident
Speaker 9: about what you're wearing right now? Do you feel like

Speaker 1: think I look funny.
Speaker 9: That's good in my book.
Speaker 1: I like that it's your name again. Is there anything
Speaker 1: else you want to say to the people of the
Speaker 1: computer before we go.

Speaker 9: person's culture. It's really important.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, is there anything you want to know about America?
Speaker 1: Have you been to America.

Speaker 1: You guys have better McDonald's here than we do anyway.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh uh?
Speaker 9: Do you want an interesting fact about chocolate?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I don't know if I should go.
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, So when people from Europe eat American chocolate,
Speaker 9: they don't like the flavor like it's too Honestly, some
Speaker 9: people think it's it tastes like vomit. Sure, and there's
Speaker 9: an actual reason for that. So I found out that
Speaker 9: in the US, when they were like producing chocolate very
Speaker 9: similar to how we do here with cocoa butter, like,
Speaker 9: Americans thought that the like little dark dots looked like mold,
Speaker 9: and they wanted to be more like pristine and aesthetically pleasing,
Speaker 9: so they added a chemical that's also present in grow
Speaker 9: up it's like an acid. I can't remember the name
