Hold up just a minute and top of the morning to you. This is Chase, I'm with Andrew, and we've got Kyle coming our way via. The AG 1 satellite phone. How outdated.  What a sconce, as he would say. Athletic Greens sponsoring the satellite phone today. AG 1. Rebranded AG 1. AG 1. AG 1. They don't know that they've sponsored it yet.

But they have. But it is. It is green.  Tis the season, baby. Tis the season. Tis the season. Speaking of the season, and speaking of Athletic Greens we're talking about. Look at the Irish today. Oh  Classic yeah instant classic  we're getting two seasons in one March Madness is starting up and on top of that We've got st.

Patrick's Day. So what better movie than the all time classic? I will say this is one of my favorite times of the year where we're getting past it is spring , and then you have March Madness, which I think is maybe the greatest sporting event , in the world. And it's just a, it's just a nice, , concoction of things, .

I think that was a lot of loftiness to put on one sporting event. It's not. I mean, I compare, I compare it to , the World Cup. I don't give a fuck. I compare it to the World Cup. What about the Olympics? The Olympics? I enjoy March Madness more than the Olympics. 100%. Are you fucking kidding me? No, and I'm not the only one who feels that way.

So get off your fucking high horse and pipe the fuck down, buddy. 30, 000 Americans. Yeah, , that's why there's millions upon millions that view March Madness on a yearly basis and the insulator gets billions off it. Compared to the World Cup and the Olympics. No. You two. It's subjective, you stupid fucks, but go on.

Is this really what we think about when we think about the Irish? We think about bickering? Well, there is a heated sense of, you know, uh, emotions. Entitlement. I don't know about entitlement, but anger. Alcoholic abuse. Yeah. Yeah, I'm drunk as fuck right now. I'm so drunk. Yeah, clearly. You're very emotional.

So  let's talk about this real fast We're doing a quick episode on this movie We could do it on our normal podcast, but we're not going to because for reasons  Made for TV, Disney movies were a big thing in our childhood. Do you both remember those? Yeah, of course. Yes. There's quite a few of them.

. There's a Especially this one. Yes, this one is, I remember it oh too well. , this one was my favorite growing up because I, I loved basketball and like Yeah. And played a lot of basketball as a kid and didn't know this at the time, but I was really Irish.  Yeah, I didn't know that. I didn't know it.

Wow. What, what, what is that? Like, uh, what did you hear? Did you not care about your heritage from Alabama?  You're you're just American. I'm American. Yeah. But just like this movie, I'm an American before anything else. Hell yeah. Yep. . But what do you, what do you guys remember about this movie real quick?

, I saw this on TV when it came out. Like the, I remember like the weekend that came out, my dad and I, and my brother were like, Sweet, let's watch it. It's gonna be fucking great. And then we watched it, and I was like, yeah, it was pretty cool.  It was, uh, just fine,  just like the Irish,  just fine, just as underwhelming as the country itself. 

, I love this one. I watched it every time it came on and it would come on like what Friday nights at like six or seven. Yeah, six or seven. That's when they premiered. Yeah. , I probably watched it. On its premiere. I don't vividly remember that, but we made a point to watch most of those Disney channel original home videos or movies when they first premiered.

So this one in smart house, smart house were great. , which was just, , space 2001 to space. There was Xenon space girl. There was brink. Was it Johnny tsunami? What was that? Is it Johnny tsunami? Is that the one I'm thinking of where he was the surfer  in Hawaii or whatever, California. That was another big one.

Um, That's the one where he was a drug lord. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, he had he had an in with the Sinaloa cartel   there was all kinds of Disney movies that came out at the time that were relevant to whatever was going on In society, but I remember the suspense of the basketball game and you know You know them playing in the state championship and  his ears getting a shell necklace dad.

Yeah, that's him   baggy clothes like oh, yeah. Yeah ,  We don't have any box office mojo numbers for this, Andrew. Because it wasn't released in theaters. Yeah, it was made for TV movies, so. , I wanted to see if you found a ranking. Oh yeah, I found a couple.

Alright. One from The Ringer, and one from Entertainment Weekly. Oh, wow! Preeminent sources, I would say.  Top 40. Top 40. Top 40 Disney. I didn't even know they made that many. Was Halloween Town one of those? Yeah, it was. In Halloween Town High.  And, you know, High School Musical, the original. Oh, and then there was a mummy one, right?

Like, I, I Sure.  Sure, yeah. It was something stupid, like, there goes my mummy! Um, but Wasn't that called MILFs? Mummies that like a friend? Yeah, I think you're onto something there.  If it's not, we're about to write that one. Where's Derek?  Um, when you need him. , Kyle, take a guess where Luck of the Irish falls on the Ranker or Entertainment Weekly or Ringer or whatever the fuck it is.

Don't disrespect the Ringer. Come on.  I'm gonna hope 40th. , but I'm gonna guess it's probably not. So a realistic guess is gonna be  23.  Okay, Chase.  I'm gonna say 12.  I'm gonna say it's up there. 12th.  Okay, so  you guys are both wrong, obviously. I mean, it's one number out of 40, so chances were pretty low that you were going to get that right.

Well, the chances were one out of 40, Andrew. But I will tell you this,  in, uh, yeah, thanks. Thanks, genius. Uh,  , both of these lists, luck of the Irish, fell in the top 10. Really? Yep. Kyle, take a second to guess. I'm going to say, I'm going to say sixth.  Oh, I'm going to say eighth.  It was fifth in Entertainment Weekly and seventh from  the Ringers list.

So what was number one? High School Musical? Yeah, what beat it out? , Entertainment Weekly's number one was Smart House, which is solid. That makes sense. I figured that would be top five. And then the Ringers number one was High School Musical, the original. And that makes perfect sense to me as well You can make a case for either of those being the best disney channel original.

So Yeah, five and seven.  That's quite Quite high but these movies are shit. They are and they're made for kids. They're made for people who are eight nine 7, 8, 9, 10 years old. The worst people of humanity. Little pea brains, you know. People who have nothing to contribute.  Fucking idiots. Stupid kids.

They were, I don't know. These movies came off as more tweenish. They are kind of tweenish. This dude's in high school. You get the peck on the cheek from that one bitch.  He's like nice job. I was like that sexually provocative. That one bitch Kyle. Come on. We're better than that. Sorry that blonde hair bitch    Yeah, I always felt like these movies  hit that 12 year old demographic where it's kind of like that pre high school crowd.

I don't think that they were necessarily  kids movies. I think that they were trying to go for a different demographic they just wrote it like  Kids. Which we're about to dive into, these movies suck.  Like. They're not good. But there was a lot of nostalgia for me on this.

I wanted to be that kid in high school. I wanted to. You wanted to be a state championship basketball winner? Absolutely. Star player? Absolutely. Luckiest guy in the world? Lucky. Just run all over Florence. The most Irish guy in the world.  Cause he's a fucking leprechaun.  What a concept. What a concept. And, and he's, his family's from Ohio.

His dad's from the land of Erie. Yeah. Good old Cleveland. Kyle's favorite city in the United States of America. It's like the preeminent, like most thought of city when you think of like inclusion, equity, , beauty, accessibility.  Some place that doesn't look like a fucking garbage dump fucked up  war zone now just to play devil's advocate How would someone from cleveland describe cincinnati a beacon of hope and light?

Yeah, okay of gray darkness He's he's not wrong there. So yeah, no bias whatsoever. You're comparing cincinnati and cleveland   you're already losing because there is no comparison cleveland is a dirt city It is one of the worst cities i've ever been in it. There's nothing about it. That is like redeeming It is flat as fuck, it's cold as fuck, and it tastes like a tailpipe outside.

Okay. Okay, speaking of tasting I don't want to get into it anymore, it's just annoying. Kyle, would you say you're the preemptive expert on the city of Cleveland and what it, you know, brings to the world as a whole? Yeah, I've been there twice. Okay, yeah. Alright, what does the Irish bring to the world as a whole?

Ooh. Well, uh, depression,  alcoholism,  anger,  family issues, fried food,  um, a lack of vegetables, potatoes, a lack of spice, oh, I forgot, famine, yep,  , let's see, civil war, religious hatred. , skin cancer, , Hatred to religion, I should say. Hatred to religion. Persecution to religion, I should say.  Hating each other.

But, ,    I was gonna say just luck. You know  In general,  they do bring a sense of luck To humanity and that's not something that you should , scoff at so we're never looking at it and all die in the famine There you go  Okay, last question. What does disney bring into the world?

, child trafficking,  money laundering mega corporate greed, , Yeah  , , ruining Star Wars, extreme communist agendas, ruining Marvel, ruining Marvel, ruining Star Wars, woke agendas, , woke, yes. What else?  What else, Andrew? So, so, uh, anti Semitism. We can go, we can go all day with this. Sorry Disney, don't sue us.

They won't, they don't care about us.  They're gonna sue us for what, 45?  Um, they never know.  So, let's go ahead and smash those three concepts together. Cleveland, Irish, and Disney. And we get this beautiful movie that talks about, like, hope and, , coming together.

So, let's start it off. Andrew Luck of the Irish, , where does this movie start off with? There's, and we're going to do a quick blow by blow. We're going to do a quick one. I don't want to waste time on this. I don't remember , what is the opening scene? Honestly, I just. It's like the basketball game, right?

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. They're, they're down by a point with like. Like 30 seconds left. And what's his name? ,  kyle, right? Kyle Johnson, yeah. It's the great Irish name. His first, his first name is Kyle Johnson. What's his last name,  son?

Kyle Johnson  . , Kyle Johnson.  He like throws the ball away and then, you know, there's like a, a scrum for the ball and then.  Are we playing rugby, or is this a fucking, what is this?  It's supposed to be basketball, but someone, like, the opposing team throws the ball, and he just kind of, like, hits it with his hand as hard as he could, and it rainbows it up into the, into the Physically not possible.

Not possible, because he's from like the, he's like at the half court line. He's  parallel to the ground. Yeah. It was like a save in volleyball. He hits it, like I said, it rainbows up and goes in and they win the game in the quarterfinals and move on to the semis. And that's what leads us into Luck of the Irish.

Actually You know and before that even happened now that I'm remembering that we had this big old this land is my land this land is Your land. It's not at the end This  is what happened. Everybody shut up. It was that it was at the beginning too because it opens with what they were what they were doing was they were having some kind of like What was it?

Mock UN, like, student body, like, diversity thing? And we open up with a  Native American ceremony, who, out of all the groups of people in this movie, who have been maligned in Slided the movie should be about them  about  the Irish, which is, which was the craziest part to me is like, and then, and it goes directly to Kyle shrinking and he's like, well, this is my life and blah, blah, blah.

And it opens up to the volleyball shot that we just described.  So it's. It's like he's trying to tell this story about how, oh, the Irish were always the most hated people in the world and had to, uh, had to work really hard to get where they're at. And here we go. Here's some Disney  insensitivity training , whatever.

, it's very, who is Kyle Johnson? He's the luckiest guy at his high school star basketball player. , it seems like a pretty symmetrical face. Yeah. Bland. Human it seems he finds like ten dollar bills everywhere. Yeah, he's just His luck is extreme. He's got one friend named russell Who's also on the basketball team with him and also happens to be black which you know good for him for later diversifying  Black way to make that choice No good for kyle for having a diversified friend group, 

um Yeah, he's the luckiest guy in school, , whatever. He's got it easy. He's a jock He doesn't seem like a typical jock, but he's pretty bland and has a boring family life and and whatever and it's school They're doing diversity day or whatever. So he's trying to find out or no, it's heritage day or whatever Yeah, and he's trying to figure out where his family heritage, he's like, I'm American, I had to come from somewhere.

Yeah, we worked for our money. Yeah, we came from something. Nothing came easy. And his parent, he keeps asking his  weird parents. And they're like, oh, I'm from Cleveland, son. I'm from Cleveland. You're from Cleveland. You're American. Our family's from Cleveland, son. Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland. It was like a Cleveland tourism video.

They mentioned it like ten times.  And they're super smiley it's like almost like his parents were robots Yeah, also I want to take this moment to say that acting in this movie is some of the worst I've seen in a long time even even on this show Where we go back and watch really bad movies sometimes this movie this movie took a shit on the art of acting And it was pretty bad.

And the art of writing, too. Oh, everything was awful in this. Not to sound like curmudgeoned old fucks. I mean, this is obviously, like, A D minus script.  And the best performances we got was about a D plus.  Like it's not there's not a lot happening here folks, uh, but to move things along You know, there's this girl at school keeps bugging him about what he's gonna do about heritage day and he's like, I don't care I'm, i'm playing basketball.

Like I don't need to think about my heritage and she's like well Fine your loss and then I guess guilt starts to get to him. He starts to dig a little bit He finds out that you know, he goes through his dad's yearbook from 1978 high school yearbook He finds out his dad's name isn't bob johnson. It's actually bob smith.

Yeah, which  Okay, I was like what's why is that? Why are you using that as a red flag white person's name to another? Yeah  and also  Go on like we'll uncover more as we go. I was just gonna say , his mom sees that he's going through birth certificates and,  yearbooks and trying to dig a little bit deeper because he keeps asking about heritage.

He goes to the, , the school computer,   he goes to whatever search engine he was using and just types in the name types in the word johnson, which isn't really like  a great You know,  word to use. Yeah, he got a bunch of porn size. I was gonna say that was a deleted scene White dicks, you know?

 I think his parents would  love for him to like be masturbating as opposed to looking up his family heritage. They would love it. Yeah, because at this point the parents are so  shady about everything. I'm on, I'm thinking at this point that they're, , KGB spies that are like nesting in America , trying to sow unrest.

Because they're so, the mother especially is like, yeah, why do you, you don't need to look, don't worry about that. You're fruit. I made, I made you a fruit bar today. Look, I made you a fruit bar and here is a thing of milk too. Haha. And she's serving them like bean sprout salad within like leaves of like romaine that like.

I don't even know what the fuck she was serving them, but like the weirdest shit. She is, they're making a point that she's serving the most generic food that cannot be tied to any heritage in any place in the world. , it's the food that falls in the middle, which is the most disgusting food out there.

 , one little tidbit of information that we forgot to add is he always wears a lucky coin. And that was kind of addressed, I think, in like one of like the first scenes with his family. Yeah, because they go to that little like, that  festival. Yep, yep, yep.

It's like an Irish festival and they start step dancing and all of a sudden, he starts step dancing and his friend Russell's like, what are you doing? He's like, I don't know, it's just so easy. Well, yeah, because he finds out like through something that he's Irish. Yes. He's like, I may be Irish, so let me go to an Irish festival.

Festival to find out who I am or about my family heritage So he goes to this fake ass irish festival and he meets the guy the lord of the steppe, right? Yeah. Seamus is a shame  Dick is like he is that's the guy who's in , psych if you ever watch that show I do like that show. , but yeah, he, it's just a weird Irish festival and whatever.

Like, I think they filmed this in Utah, just whatever, like white, white bread, you know, it was filmed  in Utah. I did confirm that like Farmington North of Salt Lake City. So not even in Utah,  you can, , but yeah, he goes to this Irish festival and then, you know, whatever. He guesses he's Irish. , he goes home, falls asleep, wakes up.

 Sees this little necklace with his gold coin on his trophy, , puts it on and then knocks the trophy off the desk and hits his foot and then his unlucky, his luckiness starts to unravel. And he starts, he shrunk, he shrank a little bit. Yeah, he's starting to shrink like a half inch or something like that.

And his mom starts talking and. An irish dialect throwback irish accent kyle. How would you rate her  irish dialect in this? What do you think it  about a four out of ten?  Okay explain your ranking. It does get it does get better I explain my ranking. , yeah explain it a rating. It's wholly general and Having just come back from ireland six months ago , that is not how one particular person in Ireland sounds.

There's a couple different  dialects that are there, and,   Most of the time you can't understand what they're saying because they're talking like this the whole time. They're so fast that I'm very confused. You're kind of lost with it and you don't understand what they're saying. It was like she was She was very much like this.

Top of the morning to you there. Here's some bingers and mash and here's mashed potatoes. Step on your cock with my little toe. It's like she was doing a dialect for like a musical theater performance. It was very. It was not, it was not great. It wasn't. I have heard word, at least she, at least she was hitting the vowels and like a lot of like the, like the overwhelming things fine, but like it was not, it was Every time she said the word America, it was, it was bad.

She was like, America! It was  so America! It was an American's version of what an Irish person would sound like. 100%. You know, um, there are much better dialects in this movie from people that are clearly Irish. Yeah.  , but yeah after that irish festival her parents are like, oh, you know what screw it We're just gonna let him in on the secret , he comes down to breakfast, , and she starts speaking in that dialect Her hair her red hair is very curly and wavy and she's wearing something.

That's a little bit more  1800s irish kind of but also still like modern esque Kind of yeah, I mean She's doing a lot of the,  old school, like Irish things, like Irish people stopped existing after the 1800s. And this is the only way we can go back to it. , she's got like the fireplace going with a smoker.

And she's trying to smoke, yeah, trying to smoke sausage for them in like a traditional way, like  it's a little over the top. But then she, , they just break the seal, like, hey, son, we're Irish, you're Irish. Except me, I'm from Cleveland. Yeah.  Which you also, Dad, have to come from somewhere too, like, like, but he's just like, I'm Cleveland, I'm American.

That's, , that's a good joke right there. I want to pause right here and just, and just say that, like,  this is the most underwhelming surprise of all time, because,  I knew immediately that he was Irish somewhere in his lineage.  Somewhere from the British Isles, or Germany, probably. I mean, imagine the movies called Luck of the Irish.

And, like,  it's just like, rip the  band aid off. We don't need all this song and dance. But the fact that they're, like, withholding that information from a generic white boy.  It's like, oh, wow, what gave it away?  Yeah, , it was, I just re watching this the first time as a child, I was like, yeah, this is, uh,  no shit, no shit.

Yeah, and back to it, his mom had red hair, like, there was Irish or Scottish. His dad also had kind of reddish hair too. Yeah, so it was like, there was  I mean, he could have, he should have known that from day one. But it turns out he's not just Irish, which we'll get to. It's, you know, he's not just got a little Irish DNA in him.

Yeah, , so he has a very unlucky day that follows suit. Worst basketball game I've ever seen someone play. Can't find his homework, yadda yadda yadda, worst basketball game ever. Say that again. He drinks out of the water fountain, no water comes out, but yet he's He thinks that he's getting water when it's all going on his dick.

It's all getting pressed on his shorts. So it looks like he pissed himself. I mean, yeah, that did happen. And he tried to talk to a girl and she was like, Ooh, what a loser. Yeah, even though he was the hero the day that She pissed him on the cheek the day before. I think it was , a different girl, to be fair.

No, that was the same girl. The same blonde haired chick. I think it was someone different. I think this guy's a player, man. People look the same.  But yeah, and he's just, he can't shake it. And he's like, what's, what's going on? What's going on? And then I think he eventually discovers that the gold, , coin necklace that he wears is a fake.

, there was something. He doesn't, he doesn't discover it till later. His mom starts shrinking and she's starting to, like, and we're skipping. We're skipping a bunch, but yeah, he's in science and they ask him like what's , like he gets a pop quiz question like what metals are  Attracted to what's the better?

What metals are magnetic? Sorry. Yes. He gets asked the question what metals are magnetic and it's iron I don't even fucking know. Copper and nickel. There you go, copper and nickel. No, no, no, cobalt and nickel. You're right, it was cobalt and nickel. Okay. , but yeah, and then he somehow discovers that his, , necklace is, , iron, just painted gold because it's attracted to, , a magnet.

Yeah, he's just, they're doing their lab experiments and his necklace just hits and he's like, oh shit. No wonder my life has changed in a day. And so he goes home. And not even a day, like in six hours, maybe 16, but, , he goes home and he finds his mother to have been shrunk down to the size of like a shoe.

She's tiny. He said, you're a foot tall. She wasn't a foot tall. She was maybe like six inches. Maybe.  Yeah. Yeah. And they're like, well, son, there's something more that we have to tell you. You're not actually just Irish. Here are leprechaun and it's like, okay, cool. Neat. Wait a  I'm like, well, this is this is like the movie where he Gets into his parents drug stash and this is like nearing the end of his life.

Yeah Well, and what is what's weird about it is they have to explain to him that like Oh, the reason you're not shrinking as fast as cuz only you're only half leprechaun because I sign him from Cleveland. Yep And I I'm not a leprechaun your mom is the only leprechaun and his mom divulges the information that oh You need to go talk to your grandfather who owns  And she divulges information because she wants him to be a normal American boy who is, , not prone to, , prejudice and, you know, hatred from others.

Yeah, cause like, the Irish, you know, have so much hate. They had it, they had it bad back then in the 1800s. . And,  then she He, that's when he says, Oh, well, I think  my coin , is a counterfeit. I think it's fake.

And she's like, Oh yes, it's just iron. Oh, your grandfather must have taken your coin and you got to go see him. And he ran into his grandfather at that fair, who . Owns a potato chip company.  Emerald Isles.  Emerald Isles. Emerald Isles potato chip company.  We're hitting all the stereotypes today.

And they think that his grandfather stole the coin lifted it off his person at the festival the other day when they ran into him. , just, you know, mm-hmm . On a whim. So he is gotta go confront him and he gets the potato chip company with his dad, and they're talking to Security Guard, who also happens to be Irish.

Every single person of this potato chip factory is Irish. Is Irish, which is, you know, this is where we get some of the worst dialect, like it's beautiful. On side is beautiful. Here's my question is I can't even tell you. Uh, we need to look it up and see how many Irish people live in the state of Utah. I can do that for you.

Let's, , keep the conversation going. I'll give you like Irish national. Yeah. , anyway, so he, he goes in and his grandfather's like really pissed at him, has nothing to do with him, hates his mom too, because the thing about it is his, that grandfather didn't want his mom to break tradition and marry a non Irish man. 

Yeah. The Irish everybody. How cool.  What do you got, Andrew? , so in Utah, approximately 5. 9 percent of the population claims Irish ancestry. That's just Irish ancestry, but are they national? Are they like, cause like, they're not going to speak like that if they're having like, you and I have heritage. I don't think that number is even going to like, register.

, that's crazy. That's so dumb. Yeah. So, you know, A good amount of whites, 6 percent of whites in Utah have Irish, , heritage. I will say, , Grand County has a large percentage of Irish, , ancestry at 19%, meaning there's probably a number of Irish nationalists who lived or do live in Grand County, but that's also in the middle of nowhere, Utah.

So, not, , where this is filmed or takes place, , But yeah, not many irish nationalists in this state except where they are except where they are. There you go confirmed  neat  so Then I think at this point his grandfather's like  It's Seamus. It's the, yeah, he, they, they have a whole like chase with security to get to his grandfather who is estranged or whatever, and he is like, yeah, it's Seamus.

He's a  good leprechaun.  I don't even know what the word he used. Yeah, his, his grandfather's, like, they had been trying to steal our family's luck.  The Conway is right. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, which is also  Jiffy scum is Conway an Irish name. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Okay. I was curious about that Yes, I think it was gonna because the way this movie was going I think they were gonna do the McTavish's  or Macrame or whatever.

No, the Shamus dude Is Irish, he's just not a leprechaun, and he covets what they have. Yeah, stealing their their gold and their luck. So the family reconvenes, and they're all arguing. The grandfather's shrinking too. , the dialogue for this movie is whatever Irish slang we can fill up here, we're gonna Spuds.  But not just Irish slang, like Irish slang from the 50s and 60s. That's stereotypical and whatever. Yeah, it's just very stereotypical, nothing cool, they're not saying slag.

Yeah, it's just a lot of nonsense at this point. I mean, we get to one scene where they're just bickering and bickering and it starts raining in their grandfather's car. Their old Cadillac breaks down, bright green, and it like the top is down and then it's like skits soaked and they're all

just getting soaked in the rain and they have this like  Conclusion together that like why are we arguing like actual irish people when you can be?   Solving an issue here. Well, we also we missed a portion.  They're chasing seamus and his gang Uh, to get his coin back because they know that he has it and he does and he's driving like a winnebago or like an rv With like him and  his that's an irish tour bus.

Yeah. Andrew. Yeah, whatever , and they have a little car chase through town They get a flat and seamus drives off and that's when they're stuck in the rain They're also with his like love interest. I forgot her name, but she's organizing the heritage day She showed up in there at some point was on a Field trip at the potato place.

Not even really important, but  she's with the young achievers. So it's, it's, you know,  grandfather, , Kyle, mom, dad, Russell, and love interest. And  I have to mention this. They're really weird. It's a weird conglomerate.

Yeah. , they're sitting in this car,  crying, , gold's gone. Seamus is away. And, uh, the love interest girl is like, You Irish are resilient. You, you, you didn't make much money when you first came over here, but you persevered  and worked hard, and you can do it. And there was a joke that was thrown in there by Russell, who was black, and she says, you know, you were paid small amounts of wages or whatever, and he says something like, Hey, at least you were paid.

Like, how dark, how dark is that? Jesus. I laughed out loud at that, I laughed out loud at that. You know they threw that in there thinking people wouldn't catch it.  You know, kids would not catch that. And the thing too is like, it's like, we're trying to treat the Irish like they're the ones that were the The oppressed.

The oppressed.  , they come together and they're like, we don't need luck, we have each other. And then what do they see once the storm clears? It's a rainbow. And they think they gotta go to the end of the rainbow to find the pot of gold. And they do. And what's at the end of the rainbow? Uh, well, Winnebago.

It's the Winnebago. , and, you know, in the meantime, Seamus and his crew are inside enjoying a nice meal for some  celebration. I don't know what the occasion was. They stole the coin and got away. I guess that's what they were celebrating. They were singing like Irish folk songs and stuff like that.

Songs about like Molly Malone and again, just stereotypical shit. Very stereotypical. And also, I want to point this out too. So,  Kyle has,  frosted tips, like , the stereotypical late 90s. Yes, and they're turning red. And they're turning red, but it looks very much orange.

It looks awful. Yeah, , we forgot to mention that during his unlucky day, he starts to shrink in size. His hair starts. to get orangey red and his ears are starting to get pointy because he's turning into the leprechaun. He needs that luck to keep him a human, if you will. , but, but it turns out all you need to do is just challenge Seamus to a basketball game over his family's luck.

Not even that. They had to do it.  They're in there. They're in the Winnebago. They find the gold coin in this  box, this old wooden chest that he happens to find,  his. His gold coin amongst like thousands of others just plucks it right out. Oh here it is Yada, yada, yada, and you know seamus walks in And at this point they're like, oh, what do we do?

Oh, yeah seamus is  weak when you get him to bet on something So he bets him to a game of Sports. Even, we're not doing the basketball game yet. He just says sports and we're, we're taken back to like, I don't even know what time period this is. It's like, it's like ancient Celtic times. It is. And, and they're playing like, I don't know, Kyle,  what sports are they playing? 

They're playing hurling. They're doing a stone toss. They're doing wheel toss. Irish step dance. Irish step dance, yeah. They're doing spear throwing. Just like inane stuff. Like, just kind of like bizarre. Like, some of that stuff they still play, like Hurling, but like, Nobody's doing a fucking, like, Actually, I don't know, that's, I take that back, because having watched television in Ireland, It's like, there's three channels, and two of them speak English, the other two are in  Celtic.

And they're doing some kind of weird ancient thing with horses or  like sticks and stones bullshit like  It's it's kind of annoying , but he he bet him He was like if I win in a game of sports just very generic sports then I get my gold coin back and All is history. Which, to be fair, he had the coin in his hand, all he had to do was just, like, get away.

Yeah, he could have just picked them in the balls and ran off. He could have just stole them. Yeah, like, we didn't need this nonsense, like, it's his coin. Yeah. Call the police. They had a little kitchenette there, just grab a knife and threaten him, like, you know? Yeah, like, I will stab you right now, we'll play a game of your death.

You're gonna die in this, this Winnebago, Seamus.  Step down, buddy. A true Irish tradition is someone dying in a Winnebago.  Well, anyways, . Police! It is, you know, you can't forget that, , but they tie in their game of ancient Celtic sports. And Seamus was like, you didn't bet that if , we drool that you'd win.

So I'm keeping your coin. And then it's like, okay, well, where do we go next? And then, I don't know, they, they weasel them into another bet, , play a game of basketball. But what did they say? But Andrew, they, they get them into another bet. But what is,  what is like the, , The grounds of the bet, , he'd sleep with my mother.

I think that's what you said No, you you you know what the grounds are. So  share it with all of them They're like if you if all right, you might have won this time But how about I bet you that  if I beat you a basketball without my coin without a coin then   you can have our luck and you can go do whatever you want  Essentially, but if I win, you have to retire to the, to the Land of Eerie.

Yes. And he says, well, why don't you pronounce it right? It's Ari. And it's like, okay, cool. We see where this is going. So what happens then? They go to the basketball game, , and turns out that , they're transported to their championship game. Cause they won their semi game the night before, even though we played horrible.

The quarters that when we opened, so , they played every like back to back to back games and obviously at home. Yeah. Which is weird. It is weird. Yep. It's, it's tied 62, my wise, it's not at a neutral site. Yeah. Is usually when state championships are played. Yeah. On a weekend, not during a school night.

So it's tied at 62 during their first overtime. , Russell and Kyle show up to the huddle and the coach is like, where the hell were you? Oh, okay. Well get in there now and, and play. And they play, , three minutes and there's some back and forth. You know, Seamus is on that team with his buddies, but it appears that, but they show.

They look to us in the audience and to Kyle as, as like, who they really are. High schoolers. But everybody else, they look like, like,  Roided out high schoolers who were just like acne the fuck out of you. 42 year old high schoolers. Yeah, , meanwhile grandpa is sitting up on the backboard but no one can see that except Kyle and like Russell, I guess, but they have a little back and forth.

Seamus and his team get like a seven point lead. Grandpa gives Russell this quote lucky coin. It's just a placebo effect and they go on a run and they win on a last second shot Even though Seamus like becomes green and like becomes a leprechaun himself with red eyes like this terrifying demonic thing pedophilic looking Like, almost like the Grinch.

Almost looked like the Grinch. Didn't have the body hair, but. It looked like something out of Little Nicky. Yeah. Yeah, like, just something that you're like, I bet there's alcohol on him somewhere, maybe since the game. Had to. . But to wrap it up, , they win, and Seamus is like, Okay, well, here's your coin, but I'm just gonna go back to Ireland.

Ha ha ha ha. And it's like, no, I, and this is where you were saying, no, I said land of Erie. He's like, no, you meant Ire. No, Erie, like Cleveland, Ohio. And then he gets the sudden realization that he has to go to  Ohio forever. And, , , which is. Awful punishment. This movie should have been rated R. 

Not just Ohio, but like the middle of Lake Erie. Which is a , gross lake. No offense, it is. It's not very nice. You don't have to, no one, no one, no one's listening. You're right. I don't even need to apologize. But, uh, offense, offense is meant and we're sending hate from Atlanta. Always.  But he gets his body, little leprechaun body.

 I guess he became a leprechaun or he got shrunk down after he lost that bet. I don't know I thought he wasn't a leprechaun, but he's he's like not microscopic size But he's probably less than five inches in height, but he this made I just want to say off of this Really quickly like this story could have been ended right then and there they could have just fucking squashed him like a bug Nope, but he has to be transported to the body of water.

That is Lake Erie He gets plunked down into the water. They flash back and they get to celebrate their championship, but before they end the movie What happens? Where do they go? They're back in the auditorium. And what's going on? It's Heritage Day. Everybody is joining in unity over the Irish. Yeah. And their triumph.

And Kyle is wearing a Cleveland Browns t shirt while doing some Irish step dancing, which was essentially just tap dancing. It really wasn't much of a step dance routine at that point.  But yeah, he does that and he's got a goofy grin on his face and everyone's like, yeah, look at him go He looks so cool up there brown suck the browns fucking suck, but that step dancing rocks Let's go kyle and then they all join hands and sing this land is my land and I wanted to just Throw something at the TV.

  Might as well be called This land is the Irish's. This land is the Germans. Which is funny because I think Show yourselves. Should we rewrite it?  Yeah, we should. Because that's That's what it is. And that's, that's like, it's just very tone deaf. 

What's funny is this land is your land was written by Woody Guthrie and it was like outlawed in the country because I thought it had communist like overtones in it back in like the late fifties, early sixties. But here we are singing it in a white bread auditorium with, you know, , some minorities in there.

It's not all, it's not all whites, but yeah, just some. They just, they just can't talk. They can't do anything.  , and , they don't understand what the Irish went through. No, Irish went through a lot, and if you aren't Irish, then you don't know and you're ignorant. Yeah, no idea. Shut up and sit down, alright?

This isn't about you. This isn't about, yeah. We own this country because we worked hard for low pay.  Yeah.  Low pay at least we were paid though At  least , not to get all preachy, but that is that is what it is and that is the that's the movie So that's where it ends this movie sucked. Yeah, we waited we wasted too much time on this.

 We probably could have wrapped that up in 15 And I will say too as like a big nostalgia podcast that we are  Yeah, I remembered everything when I started watching that. I was like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, but like as an adult now, there's nothing That holds up to it in any shape or form acting sucked  the It was just trash  I know it was made for kids But there are kids movies that are far better than this and that also  in this podcast We can't just keep using that as like a get out of jail free card We got to put our foot down and say something sucks.

And this is not a kids movie. This is a tween movie. It's tween It's it's it's Tween Trash and Hell is what it is. Y'all gotta guess what the IMDB score is. Oh, it can't, I'm sure this one has to be juiced. This one's juiced. Cause , I can hear it. I can hear it from the back of the room that there's like somebody in like their living room right now going, I bet Luckily Irish still holds, I bet it's still good.

I remember that movie. That movie was good. Smart House was good too. Okay, give me what you think the score is, both of you. Three. Six point eight.  That's a, that's a wide discrepancy there. , it's much closer to Chase. It's 6.1. No, it six  one. This should be 3.1. It be a 3.1. Oh my God.  You keep doing it you people are listening to this you're still doing it What's funny is I went back and looked at some of those ratings and a lot of them are from like 2002 2008 2011.

So  One some of the ones that were like within recent years like 2022 or 2018 were Really low, but ones close to the roll of his state were still pretty high And I don't know if they were just youngsters back then, but how many 13 year olds were on imdb in 2002? Who knew about imd like who had the I didn't even have internet in .

No 2000, but it existed So it did exist. Yeah, but like I wasn't the one getting on there and juicing these scores. That means that these were adults Oh, I'm doing it now. I'm doing it. These are adults from Cleveland, Ohio, in 2002, that love the  shoutouts. This is people doing it now. This is people watching.

Before we've done this episode, recently, in the last ten years, going, oh my god. I haven't seen that movie since I was a kid, but it was a great movie. I'm telling you, Kyle. And this is what we're talking about, folks. You gotta stop doing that shit. Watch it before you rate it. To be fair, Kyle, most of the good reviews were from the early two thousands.

Well, the most recent ones were, well, .  So let's do this now. So, , you've got four days till St. Patrick's Day hits. That's why we're doing this episode. Go watch this shitty ass movie, and then I want you all to go in, create an IMDb account, and give this movie what it really deserves.

It deserves negative ratings. I know you can't do that on IMDb. But give it a one.  Let's take our rating system back, and stop living through nostalgia. Yes, this was fun when you were a kid and an idiot. And some of you are still idiots out there, and will probably watch it and enjoy it.

It's bad. It's awful. I can't watch this anymore. , this not only insults minorities,  this insults the Irish, which is very hard to do. This insults Cleveland, Ohio, which is also hard to do. Very easy to do. Yeah, and it's also insults  writing. Addiction, the way that people interact with each other, a mother son relationship, this insults  a grandfather to son relationship, it insults Cadillac.

It also just insults Irish people too. It insults potatoes. As someone who is like 90 percent Irish, I was mad watching this. I bet if we went to Dublin and grabbed someone off the street and made them watch this, they would hate us forever.  They would. They would probably fight us. They already, they already wanted to fight you just for talking to them.

But this time they want to kill you. They would have to put their beer and cigarette down. And they would, and then they would try to fight you. I mean, you'd get away pretty easily because that's their aerobic activity is smoking cigarettes. Smoking cigarettes at Drake and Jameson. Yep. Exactly what it is.

This episode has turned into an Irish hate fest. As it should be. Kyle, does this movie hold up? Uh, 0%. No. Go fuck yourselves.  Andrew. Does this movie hold up?  Uh, you know,  I would have to say no. No, it doesn't. , I mean, Jesus Christ. No, , I actually would say this was one of the least enjoyable movies I've watched , on our podcast.

I mean, blank check was better than this. Godzilla was better than this. Yep. It was more entertaining. This, this, I don't think Batman and Robin. Was better. No, no, that's that's still the bottom of the barrel, but like everything else. This is a close second. Yeah, this is uh, This is right there with Godzilla.

I don't one thing I would give it up for Godzilla is it was shorter Godzilla was way too long. Yeah, but at least Godzilla had like helicopters and things exploding and Hank Azaria and you know This movie had people shrinking. Yeah, I don't give a fuck.  I don't care So,  we're already way past what we needed to say about this, so Chase, just wrap it up.

,  this was our first step into these made for tv Disney movies. I do know that we're probably going to end up watching one more down the road, but I am. Now not looking forward to that  Hey, don't spoil it and derek if you're listening wink wink wink wink shuffle shuffle , but  that about wraps up this short episode we Dove into luck of the irish for you for uh, st.

Patrick's day found out it does not hold up We didn't even want to give it a full episode courtesy , we did the heavy lifting for you. Just go and vote that one down on imdb. Yep , that's andrew over there in the corner , Kyle's via   satellite phone in Hamilton County, Tennessee.   At least you're not from Cleveland.

, everyone go to our Instagram, find out what we're doing next. Kyle, do you know what we're doing next?  , your mom. That's right. Yep.   We hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day, and we will see you next time.  Top of the mornin to ya. Top of the mornin to ya. Later, buh bye.
