00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: through the powerful pop cultural or crosses that are our icons.

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,720

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: and to learn once again that a unique hat and

42
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: something I deeply, deeply want to do. Yeah, other than

43
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: I want to kill my dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

44
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: not as fun. Although if you do it Irish action,

45
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: I want to me father. Yeah, it's that maybe a

46
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: little darker, but if you're just fighting.

47
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: Did you choose me for the Leprechaun episode because you knew? Okay?

48
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: Last week we were like, oh fuck, Saint Patrick's Day

49
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: is coming, and how the fun did we not do leprechauns?

50
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: And I immediately was like, matt Leab, hit him up,

55
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,000

56
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: you were the only guests that I feel like this

57
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: is going to be a fairly flippant Icons episode. Yes,

58
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, so little thinner than I was hoping. But

59
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: did you spell the syllable khann? No? No, no, no, no,

60
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: of course it would be h a u n or

61
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: h a w n ah. I like the spelling of leprekhn.

62
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: Needs a very urgent meeting with Justin Timberlake and the

63
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Social network.

64
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 4: Wait, is that where four chan comes from, the trickster

65
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 4: god of uh St Patrick's day and the sxter gods

66
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 4: of the Internet.

67
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we removed all the snakes from Ireland and replace

68
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: them with racist memesconcon.

69
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Sure, so I will say, so there hasn't been like

70
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: a mainstream lepre Kahn hit. However, I will say real

71
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: g's moving silence like Lasagna absolutely kind of sneak around

72
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: and like sprinkle some magic dust in the ear of people,

73
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: and like Leprechaun movies have been not even the horror

74
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: LEPrecon movies, lepriconm movies you've never heard of, presumably most

75
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: people have never heard of. Have it inspired The Godfather,

76
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: James Bond and Sinners? They've made those three movies possible.

77
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: So I'm explain how but uh yeah, just the main

78
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: kind of way that they're consistent with our previous work

79
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: on iconography. U pipe hat theory. They've got they got

80
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: a pipe, they got a unique hat. Joining examples of

81
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: that Santa Claus Sherlock Holmes. You get yourself a accessory

82
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: and some unique headwind and that will get you everything.

83
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: Okay, you know, at a minimum, it's definitely like the

84
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: broad strokes are if is your silhouette recognized them?

85
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, as well, silhouette. You're in business.

86
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: And then if your face isn't the thing that makes

87
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: you unique, then it and is it a thing that

88
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: someone can merely put on? And then so you go, Hey,

89
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: you're doing Leprechaun, You're doing Santa, You're doing Sir, You're doing.

90
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: All right? All right? Noticed that Farrell's stock rose like

91
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: ten ten x when he started wearing that hat. Super true, guy, Yeah, Newton,

92
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I want a second act of

93
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: my career, you know, start wearing a stupid hat where

94
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: that everybody's gonna know me. Donald Trump to be an

95
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: example of using it for evil, but started putting on

96
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: the Maga hat. And yeah that's a good point.

97
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess any hat, any hat, and any smoking accessory.

98
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, Okay, Marlborough man and Marlboro goddamn. Yeah. I

99
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: mean it's a combination, but it works. You're right, it is. Yeah.

100
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: You just got to give yourself a little bit of business.

101
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: You're like an actor in an intro to acting class.

102
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: You know, you want to give yourself a little business.

103
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Fidel Castro is a danger, absolutely Fidel cast the hat

00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: and the cigar, Yeah, and a weird beard. He's almost

00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: overdoing it at a certain point where yah, yeah, you know,

Speaker 1: you know about them? Lucky charms? You got it? And

109
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: it's actually it was lebrechauns were invented for lucky Charms.

110
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: That's that's the whole episode. We're done.

111
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: I thought maybe you were being serious for a second,

112
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: because I was like, they weren't.

113
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: That's probably possible. Yeah. Yeah.

114
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: The other one maybe one of my favorites in high school,

115

00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: Yes, movie, I don't know that, which is we're going

117
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: to get to the leprecam movies. It's funny because I

118
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: have a much hornier movie than I realized. Oh yeah,

119
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: I had not seen any of the leprechaun films, and

120
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: then I watched the trailers for many of them. Yeah,

121
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: they're very horny. Oh, Warrick Davis horny little Leprechaun.

122
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: Oh was he the leprechaun in those horror films about leprechauns.

123
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: He was definitely in this funny. I think Leprechaun in

124
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: the Hood came out after that. I only saw Leprechaun

125
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: in the Hood. I was find like, finally a Leprechaun

126
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: movie for me. Yeah, I feel represented in the Hood.

127
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: I was like, nah, I can't do all these other ones.

128
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: Leprecawn in the Hood featuring iced Ty and Haw's a

129
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: cameo by Coolio.

130
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Damn the cameo by Coolio is underwhelming. Uh yeah, yeah,

131
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's in it. That's all that matters. Yeah, exactly.

132
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: It consists of eye contact essentially.

133
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: What happened. It was like, Damn, I didn't know that

134
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: I know about leprechauns. I only know that Leprecauns are

135
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: like an Irish thing you got, and what is it?

136
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: Who's who's the fighting Irish Notre Dame Tree Dame.

137
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: And the Boston Celtics and the Celtics, So those are

138
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: all those they have kind of it. Yeah, those are

139
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: the I'm not gonna let you with too many where

140
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: you're like, you didn't realize this is like a major Lepricaun.

141
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: Those are the three big ones. They all happen within

142
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: four years of each other for no real reason. In

143
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: the sixties, they're just like, yeah, we're we're dropping iconic

144
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: leprechauns on your ass, which we'll get to.

145
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 2: I like the you know, I have a feeling when

146
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: it comes to doing racism against ethnic whites that not

147
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: only should it be allowed, but encouraged and uh so

148
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: like for me, I love that we still use leprechauns

149
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: as like Irish iconography. It's a fun, you know, fun

150
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: little bit of racism that we can all, you know,

151
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: and get behind and enjoy, you know what I mean.

152
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: See an Irish word that I kept seeing used to

153
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: describe them as tricksy, which I kind of like. I

154
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: like tricky tricksy. That's what says about the Hobbits. That's

155
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: right where I got it from. Yeah, that's right. Damn anyway,

156
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: because like I told you, they were Irish. I wish

157
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I could do the accent, but I can't. I told you,

158
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: I told you. But can you guys do the the

159
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: gallum I can't do with the Okay, yeah, I can't

160
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: talk for the rest of the show, like some doing

161
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: some weird fucked up Irish r F k impersonation. So

162
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: they do go a little bit further back than lucky

163
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: charms into ancient Celtic mythology. They were part of the

164
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: this is spelled aos s I. It seems like it

165
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: would be like an operating system, but it is pronounced

166
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: which is a race of supernatural creatures that also include

167
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: ban cheese and shape shifting goblins. Hell yeah, cheese, I

168
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: think are cool as fuck. I don't think I know

169
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: what a is loud. That's the only thing I know,

170
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: at least, how like a banshee? Yeah like bancheese according

171
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: to the Irish English Dictionary. Fuck like bani the fuck

172
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: like bansheese. I heard that. I don't know what it means.

173
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: I don't know how well they're fucking many according to

174
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: the Irish English Dictionary written by me John O'Brien, my

175
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: Real Yeah, best selling author Jack O'Brien, I had the

176
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: same question, like what are banshees? I saw ban cheese

177
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: off any shing in here. But when a family is

178
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,599
Speaker 1: affected by illness, banshees are heard to sing mournful lamentations

179
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: around their houses by night whenever any of the family

180
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: labors under a sickness, which is to end by death.

181
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: All families which are not of an ancient and noble

182
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: stock are believed to be honored with this fairy privilege,

183
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: so they're like death alarms for only the wealthy. Exactly.

184
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: You can't afford the bench.

185
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: It seems kind of useless to have other than like, well,

186
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 2: I guess we know your time's up, you know right,

187
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: It's like.

188
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: We get it. Someone's dying over there. Turn the band?

189
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: Can you turn down the banchees?

190
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: I didn't realize you were literally talking about the Irish

191
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: bishop John O'Brien who wrote this thing. I thought you

192
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: were doing a bit what you said. No, yeah, my

193
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: my name is John. My real name is John O'Brien,

194
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: and this bad for my branding. I should just have

195
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: one name to stick to it. But when you look

196
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: at on Wikipedia, you just go to the disambiguation of

197
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 3: John O'Brien, jacket Joe Smith.

198
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: It's Joe Smith's status. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But today's leprechauns

199
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: are a blend of three separate fairies from Irish folklore

200
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: or lepre Kahn cluricon and far daring, the far daring,

201
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: the far daring, which it's better than the near daring.

202
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: I'll be here, old ny. You want to keep them

203
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: away from tip your waiter. Sorry, but they're also like

204
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: part of a broader There's a lot of European nations

205
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: that have these leprechawn like, you know, figures that are diminutive.

206
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: That there are Tommy Knockers in England, the dumbest sounding

207
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: of all of them, get tucked England kabouter and Holland

208
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: and tom Ty in Sweden kibuter, kibuter okay, kobooter. One

209
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: theory I heard not from our like well sourced researcher.

210
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: This is a Meredith Danko joint shout out to Meredith Dango,

211
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: but while just kind of listening to podcasts about leprecauns

212
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: and also just like going around the internet being like,

213
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: give me something, you guys. Is one theory is that

214
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: a lot of cultures have this image of smaller humans

215
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,239
Speaker 1: in their mind because there is a evolutionary like offshoot

216
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: of humans that were alive when humans were alive that

217
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: are smaller than us, like the Neanderthals get all the press,

218
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: But there were smaller versions of humanity that were alive

219
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: at the time, so maybe you know that's not important. Sorry.

220
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: Theory theory I heard was that it's like an evolutionary

221
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: memory of them. I think it's also it just might

222
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: be our fear of children, like sneaking in there, like

223
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: a sneaky little fuckers. Yeah, trying to steal my ship.

224
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: They're quiet and quiet. They do steal your gold, and

225
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: in many ways they're expensive.

226
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: That's true. That's steal your gold every day. They eat

227
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: all your food, they take all your money. Yeah, and

228
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: they're always tricking you.

229
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: They really are tricks. Constantly being tricked by my four

230
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: year old, like he does that all the time. I

231
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: want I want yogurt. Oh, here's yogurt. I don't want

232
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: want yogura.

233
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly the fuck And impossible to catch that's the

234
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: other thing. As soon as they're running, it's like, that's it.

235
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: You can't fucking catch her. You just have to wait

236
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: until they trip, Like, never see that kid again. There's

237
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: a lot of debate over where the word leprechaun comes from.

238
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: There's an Old Irish and Middle Irish word called lukor pond,

239
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: meaning small body.

240
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: Seems pretty straightforward to me that I'm that if I

241
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: had put money, I'd put her on me too. Twenty

242
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: nineteen scholars are like, nope, it actually comes from Rome.

243
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Is we got to get rid of. We got to

244
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: get rid of scholars. Scholars are the worst one. They

245
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: found like some urer text that was like this is

246
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: where everything came from. Like they were doing the derivations

247
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: a long time before we thought they were. They found

248
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: this text they were like, so this is where this

249
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: word came from the word actually comes from Romans. Roman

250
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: priests like in the pagan era known as looper c

251
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: which sounds like a disease, and the priests celebrated a

252
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: festival known as Lupercalia on February fifteenth, which was like

253
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: a fertility purification festival. An animal sacrifice. You it skinny dipping.

254
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: You killed some animals, you skinned them, were their heads

255
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: as hats?

256
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: Yes you uh you love Pagans. Pagans are.

257
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: Every time like you go back and look into Like

258
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: I totally thought Leprecauns were going to be like some

259
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's like boring Catholic mythology, and it's like no,

260
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: man they go back to so like the reason the

261
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: Leprechauns are named after them is because the children would

262
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: then run from skinny dipping, run around naked with strips

263
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: of the like newly killed animal hides and whip women

264
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: in the ass, and I was supposed to like make them,

265
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: make them fuck more like vigorous and fruitfully, like what

266
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: it's like a fertility ritual.

267
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 2: I love like making it so that your kids are

268
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: the ones to make your wife warning you're just like

269
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: just chase my wife with a little bit of that

270
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: cat gut.

271
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: And something enough. Yeah, wow, oh wow. The Pagans really

272
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: knew how to do it. Man. They were having a

273
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: good time.

274
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: You know, I could see why Paganism lasted as long

275
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: as it did.

276
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 3: I get it too, Like while all the other religions,

277
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 3: like they're look cheating off their homework that were they doing.

278
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: I feel like all the religions sprouted out are like

279
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: people being like, oh, this pagan stuff is problematic.

280
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Or it's like the fruits, you know what I mean.

281
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not really comfortable getting whipped on my naked

282
00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: ass with entrails to name.

283
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the star all these damn woke religions like

284
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: Catholicism showed Yeah.

285
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I'm now hearing like comments being

286
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: like it's not technically pagan if they were Roman. I

287
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: don't fucking know. It's just like, no, it's before the

288
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: church came through and was like this is named after

289
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Saint John or Saint you know. It's just like all

290
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: like they made everything fucking boring and like all the

291
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: good ideas like the tree that's inside your house on

292
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: Christmas and like the you know, like the Santa Claus

293
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: and like all that shit is like basically all the yeah, yeah, yeah,

294
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: like Leprechauns, the Apracauns, the feasts, all the good stuff.

295
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: From very early on, Leprechauns are described as clever tricksters.

296
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: The first known stories containing Leprecauns actually go back slightly

297
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: before Lucky Charms, to the seventh or eighth century. In

298
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: the story a story called the Venture a Fergus, son

299
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: of Letti, Which do it? You guys know that one,

300
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: right do I have? So just for the listeners, I'll

301
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: tell them how the story happens the feral king be

302
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: you sure they don't know? Ye, Well, we'll just run

303
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: back for the idiots, just for the run it back

304
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: for the dummies. The fictional king Fergus falls asleep on

305
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: the beach after a long day. Water sprites known as

306
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: lucre Pine try to pull him into the ocean. But

307
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: Fergus wakes up as he's like hitting the cold water,

308
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: grabs them, realizes they're magical, and makes them grant him

309
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: three wishes. So at this time they had wish granting,

310
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: which I know is like a question about like whether

311
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: they are wish granting or not.

312
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: I forgot about that, But that isn't that? It like

313
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: the leprechauns grant you three wishes? I thought, who else

314
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: grants you three wishes?

315
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: Genies? Genies are the ones that mainly grants three wishes,

316
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: three wishies, as I called it, three WHI I like

317
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: the wishes because it's so delicious.

318
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: If I may use the clinical term three wishes, I

319
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: do just want to.

320
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: Tell you what his three wishes were. Okay, wait, so

321
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: this is a king who passed out on a beach.

322
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: These little fuzz take them into the ocean.

323
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: I can pretty much guess it's a first wish more servesas.

324
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: You really we know the Irish people do well. It

325
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: is related the water. Third wish invisibility. Go on, let

326
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: me see how close I got. Okay, first witch to

327
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: breathe underwater in the ocean. I was very close with

328
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: the wish to be able to breathe underwater in a lake. Okay,

329
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: they wasted able to breathe underwater in a pool of water.

330
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 5: You're fucking moron. How did this guy become king? I

331
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 5: don't know what you used three wishes? It could have

332
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 5: been one to breathe underwater period passed out on a beach.

333
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 5: I didn't even know that was a thing people did

334
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 5: back then. Like I thought that was like a modern thing,

335
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 5: passing out on the you know what I mean?

336
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: It feels like such anomal like yeah, bros, after chilling man.

337
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like he's on a like a like

338
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 2: a beach chair, passed out with a little like fucking

339
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: with a drink that has an umbrella on it underneath

340
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 2: a larger umbrella.

341
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: He thought he was down in the sand, you know.

342
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: He thought he was cooking with those wishes too. He

343
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: was like, all right, watch this ship. Hold my breath.

344
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: I can I can breathe under water. I can breathe

345
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: under ocean. I can breathe under lake under a cool boom.

346
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: Oh man, I got to catch more of these sprites

347
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: so I can have more breathe underwater wishes.

348
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: The story ends with him going in his home lock

349
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: and they're like, didn't say anything about a lock. He doesn't,

350
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: he doesn't die, He goes underwater, is still able to

351
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: like swim. I guess sees a very scary monster and

352
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: is so scared that his mouth twists around to the

353
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: back of his head. For some reason, needed to get

354
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: a better lawyer. Pretty dumb himself by making it specific.

355
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: He fed himself a culinary tale about the need for

356
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: powerful people to have good a good legal team behind

357
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: good litigators. Thirteenth century leprechaun stories begin to include more

358
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: details about their abilities and appearances. They start very small,

359
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: shortly cut grass reaches just up to their knees, and

360
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: for some reason they can float around in goblets. So god, yeah,

361
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: in a cup. Yeah, and a fancy cup. Well, I

362
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: mean so.

363
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: They're so small that like they can treat a goblet

364
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: like a hot tub, is what you're saying.

365
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: It's more of a perspective thing. Oh, I was thinking,

366
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: like they float through the air in goblets, which is like, like,

367
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: so the goblet is flying, Yeah, I think I think

368
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: so that would make sense. Yeah, okay, so at this

369
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: point they're Irish now right, yeah, yeah, okay, fully Irish Irish.

370
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: They're just like and they're so small they immediately go

371
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: into the cup of beer and they can float around

372
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: in it.

373
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like I knew they were Irish when they

374
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: were like one of their powers is floating around in beer,

375
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: just like, yeah, they could sail off on a pint,

376
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: you know, like the Irish.

377
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 3: It feels yeah, kind of like when people put you know,

378
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: like on Reddit and they're like, what is this thing

379
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: diet coke can for scale?

380
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: It's like floatsing goblet for scale? Yeah, right right, yeah, yeah,

381
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: so I think I understand it. They wear scarlet cloaks

382
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: at this time. There is a lot throughout their history,

383
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: so they were blood we're wearing Yeah, it was like

384
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: a bloodscripts thing for a long time. And then in

385
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: the twenties, yeah, twentieth century they switched to green, around

386
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: the time that the Irish like nationalist movement is wearing green.

387
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: And so it's thought that may be as they become

388
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: like sort of associated with Ireland, they're like, we're gonna

389
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: make them more Irish and less like the fucking red coats.

390
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: Ye know what I'm saying. I like that. By the

391
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 1: nineteenth century, Irish stories head honed in on a pretty

392
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 1: consistent Leprechaun character. They're rown in. They've like lost their

393
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: clan and become solitary creatures. Oh, never taller than two

394
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: to three feet, which feels a little bit more like

395
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: what I had in mind for Leviscounts, not like finger sized,

396
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: but like you know, little man, they're cobblers. That's something

397
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: that comes up throughout that hadn't really reached me, is

398
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: that they make shoes. They make shoes, They make shoes,

399
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: and like one way you can find them is by

400
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: being very quiet and seeing if you can hear the

401
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: little mini hammer strikes of a tiny cobbler making tiny shoes.

402
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: I love the imagination on these, on these, they didn't

403
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: have shit else to do. Yeah, let's just think of

404
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: law build world building. Yeah, coming up with Laura all

405
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: day shoes.

406
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 3: What it sounds like when Matt Greening was coming up

407
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 3: with the Simpsons in the lobby.

408
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: Right, what else can they? Man? They got cobblers or

409
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: some shit, don't. Sometimes he's the banker in charge of

410
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: the fairy world's entire fortune, or sometimes he's just makes

411
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: such good shoes that he's super rich. But he always

412
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: has a lot of money and he hides it in

413
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: pots found at the end of rainbows or elsewhere. So

414
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: that's hitting around the nineteenth century.

415
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: Someone who is a Irish Jew. There's something that's ringing

416
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: to me, like, like, I gotta feel a little anti Semitic.

417
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 2: Doesn't it feel like they're like, oh, yes, the leprechaun,

418
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: the Jew of the fairy world, a little bit of.

419
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: The cobbler who loves gold. Yeah, he's a cobbler, he

420
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: loves gold. He's the banker for the fairy world.

421
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: Should I say, and we're talking you said this nineteenth

422
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: century now, yeah.

423
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's kind of matching. I feel like it's matching.

424
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, first first draft of the Protocols of the Elders

425
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 3: a bunch. I don't if we need all this.

426
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: Another thing that might lead you down that path is

427
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: that they're just immediately hostile towards them. Like the next

428
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 1: sentence in the setup is, if you catch one and

429
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: threaten to harm him, he may reveal that gold, but

430
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: only if you keep your eyes on him the entire time,

431
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: because shifty you see.

432
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: I love that if you threaten to harm them, they

433
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: may give you money. You mean, like anyone, Yeah, that's

434
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: you mean robbing someone.

435
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: It's immediately hostile. It's just like if you catch one

436
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: and you know, beat the ship out of them, immediate, Yeah,

437
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: got to beat the out of them. That like I

438
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: would assume that the thing started with like some morality

439
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: or it's like they're they're going to trick you. If

440
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: they trick you out of their gold, your gold, then

441
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: you can like use it. But it's immediately just just understood. Yes,

442
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, it would be a thing where you you know.

443
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: If you see one, you got to beat his ass

444
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: he capers and beat.

445
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: The ship out of him until he can't take it anymore.

446
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: He might give you his gold. Come here, you chicky folker. Wait,

447
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: so we're the bad guys here right until gold, and

448
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: we're assaulting him to try and get it from it.

449
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: He's dumb because he's all little dude.

450
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you gave him that, and he's so greedy

451
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: the way he's charging interest on all the goals.

452
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: Maybe they wouldn't be so tricky if people weren't unila

453
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: attacking them without justification. It's a bit of a chicken

454
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: or egg situation.

455
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 3: But I guess is that like sort of racism also

456
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: feed into like anti Irish, like people's view of the

457
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: Irish too.

458
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: Maybe themselves right, Like they're getting the ship beaten out

459
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: of them all the time. They're always the smaller nation,

460
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: you know, get the shaking out of them by the

461
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: bigger guys.

462
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: Did the Irish did they identify with the leprechaun or

463
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: with the people beating the shit out of the leprechaun?

464
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, It's it's hard to say. I do

465
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: think they use leprechauns as sort of a well, like

466
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: eventually letting them wear green would suggest like they're, you know,

467
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: the one, making them part of the one.

468
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: Right, But if they switch from red to green, that

469
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 3: so they went from blood to what Florencia Yah, they're

470
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: in a gang all right.

471
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: As it evolves, we start to hear about the specific

472
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: nature of their trickiness. The favorite amusement of the leprechaun

473
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: is riding a sheep or goat or even a dog

474
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: when the other animals are not available, and if the

475
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: sheep look weary in the morning or the dog is

476
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: muddy and worn out with fatigue, the peasant understands that

477
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: the local leprechaun has been going on some errand that

478
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: lay a greater distance than cared to travel on foot.

479
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Aside from riding the sheep and dogs almost to death,

480
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: leprechaun is credited with much small mischief. He will make

481
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: the pot boil over and put out the fire, and

482
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: then again he will make it impossible for the pot

483
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: to boil at all. He will fling the baby down

484
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: on the floor, throw the few well yeah, we've all

485
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: been there, yeah, I mean the few poor articles of

486
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: furniture about the room, with a strength and vigor altogether

487
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: disproportioned to his diminutive size. Pranks seldom go further than

488
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: to drink up all the milk and then filling the

489
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: bottle with water, And then, when very angry, will sometimes

490
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: lead to the fire up to the thatch, startling the

491
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: inmates of the cabin with his laugh as they rise

492
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: frightened to put out the flames.

493
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: And then sometimes, you know, if it's feeling particularly mischievous,

494
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: it beats me, wife, this is drunk guy who's just

495
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: like nah, it's a leprechaun who threw the baby.

496
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: And that is exactly what I have here, exactly.

497
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: It would never be me, just who would throw down

498
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: their own baby. Had to be a leprecaun who did that. Oh,

499
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: that black eye. She had that black eye because of

500
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: the lepre and.

501
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: The throwing furniture, accidentally lighting the house on fire, drinking

502
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: all the baby's milk and then trying to replace it

503
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: with water like people wouldn't notice.

504
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 3: It is like such a baby's drinking breast milk. Still

505
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 3: you can't give them water.

506
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but it is drunken logic to be like, yeah,

507
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: just watered it down a bit for the last time.

508
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: There's the reason the dog is dead from exhaustion is

509
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: because of the leprechaw.

510
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I do want to know what they were doing

511
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: all day. Put a normal sized person.

512
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: Their dogs, put a saddle on the dog or dog

513
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: or it's like maybe like Christopher from Sopranos, you just

514
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 3: sat on the Yes, I'm.

515
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: Gonna this thing. Yeah yeah, I sat on praction armed

516
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: so I didn't. Yeah, all right. So that's how we

517
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: get to the twentieth century. There's a big influx of

518
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: Irish immigrants to the US four point five million people

519
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: between eighteen twenty and nineteen thirty. And you know, they

520
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: embrace stories and symbols from their homeland as they face

521
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, poverty and discrimination, and one of the symbols

522
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: is the leprechaun. They switch it to green in the

523
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: twentieth century when green becomes synonymous with Irishness and they

524
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: become associated with Saint Patrick's day, primarily in the early

525
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: twentieth century. Hell yeah, and they have accommodation of traits

526
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: evolved from lots of different ancient myths and also contemporary

527
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: Irish cliches. Redbeards, green clothes, pots of gold, wish granting power,

528
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: basically a symbol of ireland good luck and this is

529
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: where So that's the version of the leprechaun that comes

530
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: to us in the twentieth century. The movies that like

531
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: the pop culture that have done something with leprechauns there

532
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: in the in nineteen forty eight, there's a movie called

533
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: The Luck of the Irish that is about an American

534
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: reporter from Ireland and a grateful leprechaun who acts as

535
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: his servant and conscience. And the guy who plays the

536
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: leprechaun was nominated for an author.

537
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: Just tears in the theaters and moments.

538
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: Christ that's incredible. I love that someone who played a leprechaun.

539
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: Was nominated.

540
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: They were like, this is serious word, Yeah, that's wild.

541
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: That's like when fucking you know, Heath Ledger one for

542
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: the Joker.

543
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, people are gonna be looking back.

544
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: No, you gotta watch Chris Nolan's Leprechaun movie.

545
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: It was a darker, grittier Leprechaun. Nineteen fifty nine comes

546
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: Darby O'Gill and the Little People, which is a Walt

547
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: Disney movie. A wily old codure matches wits with the

548
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: king of the leprechauns and helps play matchmaker for his daughter.

549
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: This one stars Sean Connery and they're doing really good

550
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 1: forced perspective work in this, which actually is then used

551
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: by the writer director Tom Holland for the Child's Play movies,

552
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: which I didn't mention, but that is a reason. So

553
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: this was a live action movie about leprechauns eras starring

554
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: Sean Connery, like the young hunk and h and he's

555
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: Scottish too, I know. But they were like, oh, we

556
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: actually don't give a shit.

557
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: They're like, we can't tell the difference, just talk weird

558
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: doing that weird talk.

559
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: So Walt Disney had Irish heritage, wanted to make a

560
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: movie about Ireland. He like labored over this movie for years.

561
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: Was like we're starting a picture on the Leprechauns and like,

562
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm so so excited about it. And he spent a

563
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: bunch of time in Ireland researching folklore, speaking with experts

564
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: to develop the movie. And it was a critical and

565
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: box office failure, which was yes, exactly, but the some

566
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: interesting impacts. Producer Albert Brockley saw a preview of the

567
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: movie asked his wife Dana what she thought of Sean

568
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: Cerner's She said he believed he had sex appeal, which

569
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: led to his test for the role of James Bond. Yo,

570
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: uh what, Yeah, that is him. Like, the the acting

571
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 1: in it is really It's like, this is one scene

572
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: where the leprechaun visits him in his sleep and he's like,

573
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: huh what And he's like having a conversation while asleep

574
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: in a real like the sort of acting you do

575
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: when you're pretending to be asleep but you haven't been.

576
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, what are you talking about. I was

577
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: just asleep. I didn't even know that I didn't drink

578
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: up all the milk and set the house on fire.

579
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's one of the things. And now we

580
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: got our James Bond. That's crazy. Yeah, And it also

581
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: might like because Child's Play, you know, did a good

582
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: job with force perspective, and you know, we we get

583
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings, which is all force perspective, so

584
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: you could if you wanted to stretch it, you could

585
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,479
Speaker 1: say that it heavily leprecauns, heavily influenced uh, the Lord

586
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: of the Rings franchise.

587
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: Right, and all force perspective, which is, by the way,

588
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: my favorite force power perspective next to force Chow can

589
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: force jump.

590
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: Directive Lord of the Rings, which I have never seen

591
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: beyond getting really high during the first one and not

592
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: remembering the ending. And then I was like, I feel

593
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: like I get it cultural for you. I know I

594
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: need to I need to do something. It's fun.

595
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: I want to show it to you though, because I

596
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 2: think you'd like it.

597
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 1: I think I would too. I read The Hobbit as

598
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: a child and was like, this is my ship, Like,

599
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: I love what Then you got to do it? I know,

600
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: I was just I don't know why I didn't. I

601
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: never did it. I got distracted by the Red Wall series.

602
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Jack, I think you see the Siege

603
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 3: of gondor Bro, I know, so sick.

604
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: I kind of enjoyed having the blind Spot. Yeah, I

605
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: will say A third kind of impact of this movie

606
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: is we're about to see a massive boom time of

607
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: leprechauns in popular culture at this point in history. For

608
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: some reason. I wonder if it like has to do

609
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: with like Disney giving it the seal of approval. But

610
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: in a four year span, starting nineteen sixty four, we

611
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: get the three most popular leprechauns in current US popular culture.

612
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: I would say, I wonder if I'll know any of them?

613
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: You will, We've are one of them. Yeah, we set

614
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: them up top. Actually, oh, I thought we were talking

615
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: about LEPrecon movies. Okay, got it. So nineteen sixty four

616
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: we get hit with Lucky the Leprechaun. Hell, Yucky Charm,

617
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: serial mascot dropped on all of our asses, Sir charms

618
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 1: to you, Uh Louis nickname. Yeah, that's crazy. I wonder

619
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: he was knighted. I think they, Yeah, what cannot be?

620
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: Was he a Protestant at this point? What the fuck happened?

621
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: Obviously known for his catchphrases there after me Lucky Charms

622
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: and they're magically delicious. Yeah that's right.

623
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: And also I'm gonna throw down that baby, give me

624
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: that baby, give it here, then you're drunk. Lucky, I'm gonna.

625
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fight. Hit me in the end zone in

626
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five. In nineteen seventy five, he was almost

627
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: replaced by a wizard named Waldo, with trials conducted in

628
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 1: New England. According to one former advertiser, Lucky wasn't very

629
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: friendly for the kids. They were always chasing him and

630
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't really sharing. So I'm like they almost fired

631
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: him for doing his exact job. Yeah, that's what leprechauns do. Yeah, dude,

632
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: that's what we gave him that job to do. Also,

633
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: you're in control of what you have your cartoon character do.

634
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Lucky isn't performing very well,

635
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: he's not sharing with the children's.

636
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 3: Real But about Waldo the wizard, that sounds so fucking dumb.

637
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: I know that sounds. They were really dodgeable there.

638
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 2: It's because they wanted to keep magically delicious, but they

639
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 2: forgot that. You know, anything, British is automatically unlucky. That's

640
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 2: the whole thing about Irish. They're lucky, that's right.

641
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: According to the Cereal brand, Lucky is twelve inches tall,

642
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: which seems too small to me, but I'll allow it

643
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: and he gets his power. Oh yeah, twelve inches tall

644
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: and why he's a spear showed his I didn't. I

645
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't realize that the cereals marshmallows known as marbits could

646
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: have worked a little bit harder on lud are the

647
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: things that give him his powers. Didn't know that he

648
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: had those. But so these children are essentially trying to

649
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: rob him of his because like so they have it

650
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: broken down, like heart gives him life, horseshoe gives him speed,

651
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: red balloon gives him float, which is my favorite of

652
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: the powers.

653
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Penny Wise, power.

654
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: Of gold, illumination, blue moon invisibility, green hat with Clover,

655
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: luck shooting, star flight, and rainbow travel. They really were like,

656
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's just keep saying the same one

657
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: float and like tend to travel, Yeah, time travel.

658
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 2: Do we need all this lore? That's the question I

659
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 2: have for a serial body. It's like, you know how

660
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 2: back in the day, if you read like an old ad,

661
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 2: it was like covered wall to wall with text and

662
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 2: it was just like damn, you wrote like a whole

663
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 2: story about why I need to buy this pan.

664
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, this could have been a thirty second commercial, dude, Yeah,

665
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: just show the picture of the pan, go buy pan now. Yeah.

666
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: And like the probably written by like Kurt Vonnegut, right,

667
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, kr Vonnegut was like eating his kids, was

668
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: like writing a short story about a mom at home

669
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: and how much this pan changed her life. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

670
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: it's crazy. So that's sixty four we get lucky to Lebrecron.

671
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: Sixty five we get the Notre Damn Lebricron. So the

672
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: name originated as a pejorative term chanted by rival fans

673
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame's players around the turn of the twentieth century.

674
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: Then the school reclaimed the term and officially leprechn was

675
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: no fighting Irish, fighting the fighting Irish. I loved that

676
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: they were doing it racistly back in the day, doing

677
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: it racistly, And they reclaimed the term and adopted the

678
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: fighting Irish in nineteen twenty seven. And there's a fucking

679
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: crazy story. So the way, like the reason they officially

680
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: reclaimed it is that in nineteen twenty four, the klu

681
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: Klux Klan, which was like Indiana was like their capital.

682
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: The Klan in the twenties loved Indiana and they went

683
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: to South Bend because they hated Catholics and were like,

684
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: we're going to fuck these Catholics up and five hundred

685
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dame students. I think it's unwritten, but like almost

686
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,479
Speaker 1: definitely got shitfaced and just like started to the ship

687
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: out of the clan. Yeah, like ripping the hoods off

688
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: their head and stuff and like keeping them and then

689
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: like went to the clan headquarters and started like fucking

690
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: it up. And then one of the clan members like

691
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: pulled a gun on them, and they were like, all right, well,

692
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: not like that, but that's all that sucks. So then

693
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: they were like, we're we're the fighting Irish in a

694
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: good way. I love that. Wow, But just like a

695
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 1: colonizer bringing a gun to a fistfight.

696
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: That's right, dude, that is fucking That's an incredible origin

697
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 2: story for reclaiming fighting Irish and I love that.

698
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: So that's when they're like, yeah, fuck yeah, we're the

699
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: fighting Irish. In nineteen twenty seven, nineteen sixty five, they're like,

700
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: what about this little leprechaun, this little angry leprekaan asshole,

701
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: and it's like a little leprechaun with like two dukes

702
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: up Yeah, yeah, at a John Angle, see.

703
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 3: When it's just pummeling a fucking clan member to the

704
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 3: hell yeah, bro, that's a T shirt right there.

705
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know they were based this rules.

706
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the thing that's always like the thing

707
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 3: about Irish culture, right is like we're always getting this

708
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: flattened version and not like the real history of like

709
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 3: fighting colonialism. Yeah, rais and shit where it's like that

710
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,680

Speaker 1: I love.

716
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: The idea of all we know is just like, oh,

00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 2: we drink green beer and there's four leaf clovers and yeah,

718
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 2: and we don't know anything about the like, you know,

719
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 2: putting on the fucking what is it, the black lavas

720
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: and fucking throwing mild cocktails.

721
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, we write that, write the fuck out of there.

722
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to know about that shit. White

723
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: people doing that. Yeah, oh nah. Nineteen sixty eight we

724
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: get a movie called Finian's Rainbow, which is only another

725
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: just like complete miss h but it is Francis Foort

726
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: Coppola's first movie, He drank twenty seven. Wait, yeah, this

727
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: first movie is a lepregn movie. Yeah, it's a Leprechaun

728
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: musical about the Irish immigrant and his daughter moving into

729
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: a town in the American South with a magical piece

730
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: of gold that will change people's lives, including a struggling

731
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: farmer and African American citizens threatened by a bigoted politician.

732
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: And I think a leprecom pops up in there somewhere

733
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: that rules. Wow. But also working on the set of

734
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: this movie is a twenty two year old George Lucas

735
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: who's a production assistant, and Francis four. Coppola is like, hey, man,

00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: stage yawning, like on the like while you're supposed to

738
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: be working on it. He's like, yeah, I know, I'm

739
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: watching you make a movie, but it's really boring. I

740
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: don't want to make these kinds of movies. And they

741
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: become best friends because he's like, yeah, me need the man.

742
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: This shit sucks.

743

Speaker 2: Oh, I love that. It's a beautiful see keeping it

744
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 2: real does right? Yeah, one of the rare cases.

745
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's a box office flop with negative reviews

746
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: uh and sometimes gets partial credit for ending the big

747
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: budget movie musical era. That's a win though. Yeah.

748
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: Honestly, when that came back in like the early aughts,

749
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 2: I was like, ah, guys.

750
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: Come on, what happened? It was great when I was gone, Wait,

751
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry is one of the it's I'm reading the description.

00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: They said Wood.

753
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 3: He's good friend and business partner Howard and African American

754
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 3: Botani is determined to develop a tobacco and mint hybrid.

755
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: Are they foreseeing Menthol cigarettes? Yo? That's fucked up, trying

756
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: to meet the first magic this or is that just

757
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: like do I'm I'm assuming Menthol.

758
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 3: Cigarettes probably pre dates this, I hold right, Like, what was.

759
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: That guy trying to do on the Leprechawn movie that

760
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: has tobacco mint hybrid? Okay? I kind of want to

761
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: watch this movie and listen to the music. I think

762
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: it did get nominated for some of the songs. Maybe

763
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: people like you can't deny that those songs fucking slapped. Yeah?

764
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: Oh wow. I think Francis Forcuppla had directed movies called

765
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: B movies like The Playgirls and The Bell Boy and

766
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: Dementia thirteen. Oh yeah, but this was his first major

767
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: motion picture. Okay, yeah, yeah, and then the same year

768
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: as Finian's Rainbow, we get Lucky the Leprechaun in his

769
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 1: current incarnation, the Leprechaun leaning on a crooked stick, spinning

770
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: a ball on his finger comes out. There had been

771
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: an earlier incarnation of Lucky the Leprecaun that was drawn

772
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: by Zang Hourback, brother of Celtic's legend. Yeah, that's crazy.

773
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: I just want to show you what his version of

774
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: Lucky the Leprecaun looked like. Yeah, just put it what not?

775
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: Fuck you can tell it's a NEPO. Yeah, he looks

776
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: mostly like brain damaged would be the first thing.

777
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like juughhead. And he's wearing a crown

778
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: that just says NBA, which is kind of that's very

779
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, Rob Low wearing the NFL hat at

780
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

781
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 3: He's like hopping and it's like it's so hoppy, like

782
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 3: you just hopping up or now you like the body shape,

783
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 3: like the position of.

784
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: It's like type thing. Also, I'm just reading too.

785
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 3: Around this time, this was definitely like at the height

786
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 3: of the tobacco industry targeting black people with menthol ads,

787
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 3: so I think this movie was just feeding into that,

788
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 3: and they're like, and.

789
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: Black people have liked Menthol cigarettes since time. I memorial

790
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: you see the design of like what the what the

791
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: whole thing is, and it's like, oh, this is when

792
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: they were doing a Menthol cigarette butt.

793
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 2: Yes, when the Blacks and the Irish got together and

794
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 2: invented cools.

795
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I love that and then all the way

796
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: So that was a real burst of like iconic leprechauns

797
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: there in the late sixties. And then the next real

798
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: iconic Lepricaun we get is nineteen ninety three A, which

799
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: is when we kick off the Leprechaun horror movie franchise. Wow. Yeah,

800
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean definitely hornier than I thought it was going

801
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: to be, just based on the trailers that I was

802
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: prepared for.

803
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 2: I was, you know, I think I've seen some of

804
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 2: one Leprechaun movie, but I don't remember if it was

805
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 2: part one.

806
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: Was Jennifer Aniston in it. It was when I was real,

807
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: real young, and it was pre friends. Yeah, this was

808
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: so I think it was something my brother rented and

809
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: I watched it and I was like, this is too

810
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: scary for me because it was like it was a

811
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: weird little leprechaun with sharp teeth, and I was like, oh,

812
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: this doesn't seem like a Lucky Charms type guy. Yeah, yeah,

813
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: he's pretty cross looking. What is I don't even know

814
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: the premise of Leprechaun. I assume it's the bunch of

815
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: teens find a Leprechaun and he starts trying to find it.

816
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: So it's best viewed as like not not really a

817
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: series so much as like an anthology thing. Like so

818
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: in the first movie, the only way to kill him,

819
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: I think, is like getting his gold, whereas in the

820
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: second one it's like you have to stab him with

821
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: a rot iron. Like it's like the rules don't right,

822
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: don't work from movie to movie, or like one of

823
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: them maybe the first one is a four leaf clover.

824
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: You have to find a four leaf clover and that

825
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: kills them. But it's like they they don't even bother

826
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,479
Speaker 1: to make anything make sense or have continuity from movie

827
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: to movie.

828
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 2: It's just like it's a horror film. Another reason to

829
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: show tits, right, Like is there tits?

830
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, yeah, okay, I think there might be. I

831
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: don't know there weren't in the previews, but they're definitely

832
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: if there's not there is the promise of promise of tits.

833
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, which is reason enough to make a

834
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 2: movie in my opinion.

835
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, well in that era too, I'm sure like the

836
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 3: pitch Man, like all right one one of the when

837
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 3: do you see the boobs?

838
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh come in give me the time code?

839
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah. You're an inciting breast incident in your

840
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: first act. Please let me know. So I watch your

841
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: cut of a movie called Forrest Gump, Melosh and could

842
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: I need a few more titties in there in order

843
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: to green light it? I'm sorry? Who are you, sir?

844
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter why. I'm the one who controls right things

845
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: around here. Only the first two lebrecm films got wy

846
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: theatrical releases, the rest straight to VHS. Straight to VHS

847
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: Warick Davis remains the Leprechaun for the first six of

848
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:53,800
Speaker 1: the Fret six and the first Leprechaun stars Jennifer Aniston,

849
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: who now talks about finding it embarrassing. Director Mark Jones said,

850
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 1: I bumped into a about three years after Friends had

851
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: been on the air, and she was a superstar, and

852
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: she came up to me and she goes, you know,

853
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: there's been articles sometimes that I don't look at Leprechaun fondly.

854
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: I just want to tell you I've been misquoted and

855
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: it's not true. It was a lot of fun, And

856
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: I said, Jennifer, if I ever have the success you have,

857
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to deny I directed Leprechaun. So don't worry

858
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: about it.

859
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 2: Oh that's great, but yeah, I get it. Listen, she's

860
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 2: at this point, she's a huge sitcom star. You know,

861
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 2: it's nice for her to even you know, acknowledge the existence.

862
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: Crazy that she talked to him. Yeah, honestly, well what

863
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: is she doing? It was early in her success. The

864
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: movies go Leprechaun, Leprechaun two, Leprechaun three, Leprechaun four, Colon

865
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: in Space. Oh shit, wait what he went to space

866
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: Leprechaun for Colon in Space, I go to the Hood.

867
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: Then that would be Leprecaun five, lepre Con in the Hood. Well,

868
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: although they just stopped counting them at that point because

869
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: they want to be ready for Leprechaun Colon back to

870
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: the Hood.

871
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and spell correctly, Jack th J that hood

872
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, crazy, because I remember the first one is

873
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 3: Replicon in the Hood th G And then they're like,

874
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 3: we got a little flavor and lean into this now.

875
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: Okay. I just love the idea.

876
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 3: It's like, well, before we maybe include black people this franchise,

877
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 3: let's go to outer space.

878
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd rather go to space than talking to anybody.

879
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: You never progressive astronauts, you know the progression, you know,

880
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 1: keeping white people.

881
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 3: Then I guess you go to space and then yeah,

882
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 3: I guess you're in the hood now.

883
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: Also, just like the the format of the type leprechn

884
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: four Colon in Space, it kind of feels like it is.

885
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 3: There or it feels like are there multiple leprechawn force

886
00:52:55,840 --> 00:53:00,280
Speaker 3: like leprechn four, the Reckoning Lepochron four in space?

887
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Lebragan for Colon in Space is the horny, Like

888
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: the trailer is just so horny, like that he basically

889
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: kidnaps a very attractive woman and is like at first

890
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 1: she's like no, I don't want this, but then eventually

891
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, I actually just with you quite a bit.

892
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 2: Oh you're rich, Yeah you got a pot of gold. Okay,

893
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 2: I guess so.

894
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Lepregun the hill one's fucking vile because it's

895
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 3: like dudes find this like room of gold and then

896
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 3: like the leprechauns like in a medallion and ship that

897
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 3: they take and that like freeze the Leprechaun. But they're

898
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 3: also like aspiring rappers who like have to go pont

899
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 3: a guitar for.

900
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: A new speaker system. It's all like like damn or

901
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: don't they do like a church rap. That's why Julio

902
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: comes in and starts dancing. I was like, these guys

903
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: have something, but he.

904
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 3: Also has zombie fly girls is what the leprechan has,

905
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 3: Like he's he has like these ladies that he's a

906
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 3: slave to, Like.

907
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: There's a The most famous scene from Leprekaun in the

908
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: Hood is a rap scene where the Leprechaun wraps at

909
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: a strip club and is enslaving women. And you can

910
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,439
Speaker 1: tell they've been leprechaun slaved because they have break green eyes.

911
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: Now that makes sense, and they're they're on the hook.

912
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 2: Don't you miss there was that sweet sweet period in

913
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 2: the early nineties where they just made things rap, you.

914
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: Know what I mean. By the way, this is in

915
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: the year two thousand. What you missed it by a

916
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: little bit. This is a full decade after wrapping Rodney.

917
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 2: It's not after nine to eleven, that'd be crazy because

918
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:46,279

Speaker 1: Just anyway, thanks warre quote from Ice T who appears

938
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: in the middle. Well, actually first, so to your point,

939
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: producers noticed that mostly non white audiences were turning out

940
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: for these movies. So it was a big thing at

941
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: the time to cater horror movies to black people. This

942
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: happened with the Killjoy movies, and that's why you've got

943
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: ell O Cool J and Halloween h two O and

944
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 1: Buster Rhymes and Halloween Resurrection. Uh, it's like a lesson

945
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: they could have learned about all movies. Yeah, I learn

946
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: about like movies that are past the fifth sequel in

947
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: their horror franchises. And you've gone to space already. Yeah, yeah,

948
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: well you've been to space. But iced Tea appears in this.

949
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: Iced t said, I got the offer to do it,

950
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: and of course I was like, get the fuck out

953
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: you've got to be in this movie. I did. So

954
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: I did a little more research and I found out

955
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: the Leprechaun had like four movies already. This motherfucker was

956
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: an institution. So I signed on for it. Sounds like

957
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 1: Chris Malta being like Ghostbusters. There's another fucking money machine. Yeah,

958
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna do it because of the franchisement. Yeah exactly. Yeah,

963
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: originally twenty fourteen. Leprechawn returns twenty eighteen. Sci Fi does

964
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: a Lebrecan marathon on Saint Patrick's Day every year. So

965
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: what is that eight nine movies? Yeah? Wait, way too many,

966
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,439
Speaker 1: that's an eight. Yeah, but I do want to mention

967
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: this movie that came out in two thousand and one

968
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: called The Luck of the Irish the Disney Channel original

969
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: movie premiere above. Is he in that? It's not, but

970
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: it looks like it could be him.

971
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 3: So we have two Luck of the Irish because the

972
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 3: first one every time I was one from the forties,

973
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 3: right is.

974
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, this is a new one. And

975
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: I thought there had been enough time had passed. Let's

976
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: try be aimed at children. Let's try it again. Maybe

977
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: we'll get Sean Connery back. It is essentially the plot

978
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: of teen Wolf. If anybody's old like me, I remember

979
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: seeing Yeah, it's teen Wolf, but he's a Leprechaun. So

980
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: he like comes home and he's like, well, are my

981
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: ears doing this? Mom? And dad? And then his parents

982
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: are both leprechauns and they're like, we've been meaning to

983
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: have a talk with you. We're Irish son. He's you

984
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: get good at basketball? Right, It's the it's he's already

985
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: got a basketball because he's preternaturally lucky. But then once

986
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: he is, luck makes him not even scale. It's like,

987
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: bro could do Irish. Yeah, yeah, and then his luck

988
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: kind of runs out. It starts getting fucked with. He

989
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: gets twenty years because he's a leprechaun. For some reason,

990
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think that was part of the thing, right,

991
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: but it is. It has been called Disney Channel's strangest

992
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: original movie. In twenty twenty five, Ryan Coogler credited this

993
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: film as an inspiration for Sinners, Get the Fight out

994
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: of Here, Look at the Irish. On a panel, He

995
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: said the Luck of the Irish increased his interest in

996
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: the similarities between Irish culture and black culture, which would

997
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: eventually lead to the creation of Theach O'Connell's character Remnick.

998
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: Coogler said, that was our first introduction to some of

999
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: the similarities in Irish folk music to basically our music.

1000
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: There was a small Irish community in the Bay and

1001
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: we would talk about it. That movie was kind of

1002
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: a touch point for us to jump off of crazy Enough.

1003
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: We've been fascinated with that culture in my family. Holy shit.

1004
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: And this was the entry point for Ryan Coogler was Iris,

1005
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: what the fun That's amazing?

1006
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 2: That just amazing, That is wild and for it to

1007
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 2: have affected something like so good, so good, like probably

1008
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 2: one of the most in a movie that was already

1009
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 2: very good, uh, one of the most I don't know,

1010
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 2: amazing parts Like it was watching that kind of similarity

1011
00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 2: between the the Irish music, Irish folk music, Irish folk music,

1012
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 2: and the black music at the time, and the way

1013
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 2: in which they kind of like threaded the needle of

1014
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 2: making both uh predatory vampiric but also a cycle of

1015
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 2: colonial violence.

1016
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, that was that was weirdly genius

01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: story in the second person. He's like you look through binoculars.

1071
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: You like he's talking the community. It's like bright lights,

1072
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: big city, but about this community. It's very like artistic.

1073
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: I want to see the Snyder cut of this. Some

1074
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: people have suggested that he actually drew the picture in

1075
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 1: the thing and that this was all just like created

1076
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: his own local news like nightcrawler style.

1077
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 3: Yes, right, wait, so the report, like they're saying this

1078
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 3: was jen like the reporter had his hand all over

1079
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 3: this and then had to remove themselves.

1080
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: So it's like some people, well no, they just cut

1081
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: him out because they're like, I don't know who boring,

1082
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: get his face out of there. But there are debates

1083
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: as to who drew the picture, and like some of

1084
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: the community members claim that like they drew the picture,

1085
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: but then some people say that the reporter actually drew

1086
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 1: the picture and like the way he talks about it

1087
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: when he's like this drawing that you say looks like

1088
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: the lepardon right, suggests that it could have been, like

1089
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: he leaves it open for it to be him. They

1090
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: introduced somebody who's in all Camo who's like the local

1091
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: blue Capricaun expert, and he says he has a magical

1092
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: flute and it's like a piece of scaffolding. It's jack.

1093
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 3: It looks like PVC pipe that was painted brown to

1094
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 3: look like if you said, this is my magical Irish

1095
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 3: flute because I have Irish ancestors.

1096
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. That guy's name was DeMarco Morrissett. Yeah, And he

1097
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: has then found like questioned about the video and he's like,

1098
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't think it was at first, and

1099
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: then I saw something weird, and like even the cameraman

1100
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 1: for it said, like, uh, I saw the shadow that

1101
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 1: actually did look like a leprechaun. The shadow looked like

1102
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: a small individual's head with a little top hat. I

1103
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: did not speak with the leprechaun. Apparently when I turned

1104
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: the light on my camera he ran away, but people

1105
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: were there. They saw and like I will say, everyone

1106
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: from this news team is on some ship. I mean

1107
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: this is like, say, this is how leprecaun started. Like

1108
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: the Leprechauns were like Bigfoot, they were like you know,

1109
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: cryptids that were sighted around the world. Yeah, mainly in

1110
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Ireland and then in the US. Like you can go

1111
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: into Reddit and there are people who are like, I

1112
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: hit a leprechaun with my car. There's one like a

1113
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: cop hit a leprechaun with his car. Just they're just

1114
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: killing kids and just An it was him, Murmy, It

1115
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: was him Murmy. There's one on Reddit where a person

1116
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: like wakes up in the middle of the night and

1117
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: like turns around and there's a leprechan like on their toes,

1118
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: like doing a weird like dance over them. This is

1119
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 1: fucking horrifying, Like it really feels like something from like

1120
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: a elevated horror movie, you know, right, yeah, but I

1121
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: don't know it's it's become a staple of the Internet.

1122
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: They sell cardboard cutouts of that amateur sketch. Wow. The

1123
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: original amateur sketch was auctioned off in two thousand and

1124
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: six on eBay for one dollars, which I feel like

1125
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: that I got, you know, it's crazy steal. We were

1126
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: talking remember how we were talking about this.

1127
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 3: And we watched the video maybe last week again like

1128
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 3: kind of not in preparation because we were a laughing

1129
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 3: about preparation for this episode.

1130
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: Hey Jack, you know what we got to do.

1131
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 3: But that fucking day bro on fucking Instagram, I got

1132
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 3: served it added like you either leprechaun sketch hat.

1133
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Right now, motherfuckers got my ass. I will say an

1134
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 1: underrated part of the report as they interview someone driving

1135
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: past who says she thinks it might be a crackhead

1136
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: who got hold of the wrong stuff. Yeah, and like climbing, well,

1137
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: it made them climb up in a tree because they

1138
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: were seeing them up in a tree, which does go

1139
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: back to our theory of like what leprechaun. The original

1140
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: purpose of Lebrechauns were just like magical figures for Irish

1141
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: people to explain. Yes, I love it. It's just an

1142
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: excuse for your your addiction and yeah, I love that.

1143
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: I love that.

1144
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 2: As someone who's an addict in recovery, I will say

1145
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 2: sometimes you do hear stories that sound very much like

1146
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 2: damn well, I've done that. You're in some like Leprechaun

1147
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 2: ass hijinks.

1148
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're towing the line here. Yeah, people end.

1149
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 2: Up in weird places, you know, in their addiction, so

1150
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 2: I could see them, you know, people confusing some behaviors

1151
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 2: for you know, leprechaun stuff.

1152
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: It makes sense to me. One of my favorite stories

1153
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: from you know, knowing people and recovery and being in

1154
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: recovery with somebody said they came to from a blackout

1155
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: walking towards the party and everyone at the party was screaming,

1156
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: he's coming back. That's great. Oh god, Yeah, that's that's

1157
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the sort of thing that you exactly. Yeah, and writing

1158
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: a dog coming back dog and he's's threading an even

1159
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: bigger dog this time. But all the babies on the

1160
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: ground already. He likes someone. They're off the ground. Yeah,

1161
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: such an adventure coming to from a blackout. Yeah, why

1162
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:54,560
Speaker 1: am I walking with purpose on the floor of I

1163
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: wish I had something that funny.

1164
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:59,640
Speaker 2: It would just I'd wake up from a blackout in

01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: Fight Me Da. First of all, shout out to in

1189
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 1: the Name of the Father and shout out to Matt

1190
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,679
Speaker 1: Leeb Worth the price of admission for that alone, Plus

1191
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: we got the Coogler of it all. First of all,

1192
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: that he was inspired by a Disney original movie which

1193
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: I think the log line must have been pitched straight

1194
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 1: up as teen Wolf. But Leprechaun Ryan Cougler was inspired

1195
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: by that movie to make the most nominated film at

1196
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: the Oscars last night. I'm recording this before last night,

1197
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: so I don't know how it did, but it did

1198
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: pretty well this year, and that story gave us new

1199
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: a new vocal stem that just dropped. Had to get

1200
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: involved with that. Ryan Coogler as a sleep paralysis demon.

1201
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 1: Truly terrifying stuff. All right, this is the no no note. Look,

1202
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: don't we ended on the Crichton Leprechaun. I just want

1203
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: to make it clear that is not the only sighting.

1204
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: Leprechauns are cryptids with countless sightings, just like Bigfoot, just

1205
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: like the Grays. That's right. We went back to back

1206
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: tiny cryptids in the past two weeks for our Icon

1207
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: episodes Unintended. But you can go check out our episode

1208
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 1: about the alien Grays with Jason Pargan last week. But yeah,

1209
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: just because they're serial mascots and basketball mascots doesn't mean

1210
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: they're not being seen all over the place by, you know,

1211
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: people who believe in haunted houses. In two thousand and nine,

1212
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: the people of Collingford in Ireland got a European Habitats

1213
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:10,760
Speaker 1: Directive for the Protection of plants, wild animals and leprechauns.

1214
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: And there's an eighty one year old man who claims

1215
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: to be Ireland's last leprechaum whisper. He says he engages

1216
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 1: in weekly conversations with eighteen inch tall creatures. We never

1217
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 1: really did land on a standard height, did we. I

1218
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 1: always had them at about two to three feet in

1219
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: my head, but it certainly seems like they're just as

1220
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: often eighteen inches or smaller, so, you know, much like

1221
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: Hollywood celebrity will kind of never know. It does seem

1222
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: like the sightings used to be more common. One possible

1223
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,799
Speaker 1: explanation for that that I ran into while doing research

1224
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: for this I found this clipping from a nineteen to

1225
01:12:55,040 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 1: eight newspaper. The headline is a Strange Westmeath report and

1226
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 1: it says quote A strange creature has been observed for

1227
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: some days in the district. Several persons, mostly children from

1228
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,640
Speaker 1: the school, are reported to have seen it, and they

1229
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: describe it as a little creature resembling a man of

1230
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: dwarfish proportions, clad in a red jacket. Remember the East,

1231
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 1: where red suiting the traditional description of a leprechaun. Then

1232
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 1: it says many are inclined to regard the creature as

1233
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,799
Speaker 1: a monkey escaped from the care of some traveling organ grinder.

1234
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: Now this caught my attention mainly because it was like

1235
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: that magic number of times you see a reference where

1236
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, fine, I'll bite. What the fuck

1237
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: is an organ grinder's monkey? Did some research after a

1238
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: lifetime of not knowing what the Simpsons or Bob Dylan

1239
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: was talking about when they referenced to Oregon grinder's monkey.

1240
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: An organ grinder was someone who played a barrel orgon.

1241
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: It's just like a wooden round musical instrument with a

1242
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: crank on top, and there's just out there grinding. They're

1243
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: on their grind set. It sounds like sort of a

1244
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 1: haunted analog eight bit music is kind of what comes

1245
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: out of it, and he just cranks makes haunting music.

1246
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 1: And then for some reason they have a monkey on

1247
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: a leash in a suit begging for tips. And organ

1248
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: grinders with monkeys were like one of the most common

1249
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: street performers. The barrel organ was called a monkey organ

1250
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: because it was just like those went hand in hand

1251
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 1: for some reason. So the theory would be that there

1252
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 1: were so many orgon grinders with monkeys that they were

1253
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: losing them and that was driving the rash of leprechn sightings.

1254
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: It's a theory. I'm not saying it's my favorite, but

1255
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: now you know what an organ grinder's monkey is, so

1256
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: you're welcome. I will say the fact that leprechauns make

1257
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: movies that lead to good luck for the people involved,

1258
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: but don't actually get seen by anybody, don't actually make

1259
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 1: money themselves, seems kind of on brand for them. They

1260
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: want to remain hidden, they don't want you to get

1261
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: their gold, but they do sprinkle a little bit of

1262
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: tricksy good luck and pixie dust around. I did get

1263
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 1: scared as we were going through the origin of the

1264
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame nickname and logo. I did get momentarily scared

1265
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 1: that the logo isn't actually a leprechaun. Like after covering

1266
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: the origin story of their nickname, I was like, oh shit,

1267
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 1: that's probably just a cartoon of an Irish guy. Why

1268
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,720
Speaker 1: would it be a leprechn but no, it's a leprechaun.

1269
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: If you search Fighting Irish logo, the Wikipedia headline is

1270
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Leprechaun, which, when you know the backstory, is

1271
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: really funny that they settled on a leprechaun, Like just

1272
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: walk with me on the origin of Notre Dame's logo.

1273
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: So Fighting Irish starts out top of the twentieth century

1274
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 1: as a slur against Notre Dame students being like, you know,

1275
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:59,640
Speaker 1: you're a bunch of angry Irish drunks, you know, the

1276
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: bunch a bunch of Protestant kids whose parents came over

1277
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 1: on the Mayflower who all go to like harvarding Yale.

1278
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 1: They're like, look at these Irish trunks. Then the Notre

1279
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:11,680
Speaker 1: Dame students do something awesome, beat the shit out of

1280
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:15,560
Speaker 1: the KKK, possibly well drunk, we won't dwell on it.

1281
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: And then they're like, we're you know what, we're taking

1282
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: it back for ourselves. We are the fighting Irish. We

1283
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,799
Speaker 1: fight assholes like this while like ripping off the KKK

1284
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,640
Speaker 1: maask lifting up their little KKK skirts. And then a

1285
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: few decades later they're like, and the logo to represent

1286
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:36,640
Speaker 1: this fighting spirit, the spirit that we carry inside us,

1287
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: inherited down from our historically oppressed you know, ancestral nation

1288
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: that never stopped fighting against the forces of oppression and colonialism,

1289
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 1: despite living on the doorstep of the premier colonial power

1290
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: of the nineteenth century, of the British Empire, that drove

1291
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: us to live here in the US across the tides

1292
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 1: of history. Our logo to represent that fight all of

1293
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 1: that will be little Leprechaun with his little dukes up.

1294
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 1: That's that's basically that's what those like Harvard and Yelle

1295
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: guys would have drawn to make fun of you in

1296
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: the first place, guys which you know, as an Irish

1297
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 1: guy who loves laughing at myself and making fun of

1298
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: the Irish, I do have to respect it. It's just

1299
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: funny that that's where we landed on that speak of

1300
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: lack of respect for leprechauns. This is the last thing

1301
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with. My son brought home a thing that,

1302
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: based on some light googling, is a new like traditional

1303
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: fun thing for kids around Saint Patrick's day. I think

1304
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 1: it came from his kindergarten teacher who does this every year,

1305
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 1: which is these little diy traps for leprechauns, and these

1306
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: are not well thought out traps, like a trail of

1307
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: gold coins leading into a box propped up by a

1308
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: popsicle stick. These traps have very very little respect for

1309
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:06,600
Speaker 1: the cleverness of the supposedly tricksy little leprechauns. And I

1310
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: will say she is definitively not an Irish woman, and

1311
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: I did kind of want to ask her, do you

1312
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: think this is what we as an Irish people think

1313
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: is clever when we're talking about clever leprechauns, Like I

1314
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:22,719
Speaker 1: think I've seen one online where it's just a little

1315
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: ladder going up into a pint glass. Is this what

1316
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 1: you think of us? But this is, however, the son

1317
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 1: who has picked up me saying I want to fight

1318
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: me Da. So I was a little worried that he'd

1319
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: said that around her, and I really wouldn't have a

1320
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 1: leg to stand on what I She has a kid

1321
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: in her kindergarten class the last name O'Brien who's talking

1322
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 1: about I want to fight me Da. And then I'm like, hey,

1323
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 1: got to respect got to respect us. Check out this

1324
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: Notre Dame logo. All right, that's going to do it

1325
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 1: for this episode. Thanks to maryor Danko for the great

1326
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:05,040

1328
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 1: of these icon episodes. We are leaving the cryptid world.

1329
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 1: I think, as far as I know, there aren't Bart

1330
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: Simpson sightings in the wild, but we got Bart Simpson

1331
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:23,679
Speaker 1: with tam Yahia. It's a great episode and we will
