This week's episode is an honor of the newly founded
Irish Heritage Month that I guess Donald Trump just signed
into effect with an executive order. So an honor of
Irish Heritage Month, we are going to tell the story
of the most stereotypical, honestly racist Irish story you have
ever heard of. The things the Irish did in this
story are so stereotypically Irish that if I wrote it
as fiction, you would consider it wildly offensive. We are
talking about the Great Dublin Whiskey Flood of eighteen seventy five.
You can imagine what happened. Welcome to soft core History.
What is up? Welcome back to softcore History. I am
your host for the week, Rob Fox, joined as always
by Dan Jester.
Speaker 2: Hey man, how you doing great? I actually had a

late today.

Speaker 2: But I inconvenienced you and our guest. Yeah, because I
was too busy having a good day.
Speaker 3: The audacity. We should have been busy getting a haircut,
but just choice, priorities were chosen.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you, dude.
Speaker 3: It's so that beard is so scary?
Speaker 1: Does Gabby montomy or you're hearing? But go on, please
don't stop.
Speaker 3: It's so rowdy, And why is it so straight? Don't beards?
Shouldn't it be pub beer? It's very Are you blow
drying it or like conditioning it?
Speaker 1: You brush it?
Speaker 2: It's natural.
Speaker 3: It's natural.
Speaker 2: I'll walk like uh shampoot sometimes, but that's it look.
Speaker 1: Like a civil war general's coquette.
Speaker 2: Son, Listen, I want to cut it, but I'm getting
so much hide from other dudes.
Speaker 3: So you're gay.
Speaker 2: It's not gay.
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is no, he says, the only
list waits for guys.
Speaker 3: I mean at this point, yeah, any bulk is for men.
Speaker 2: Working out is for dudes.
Speaker 1: But I mean they don't care how much they don't
dress for men. No, like, no, you that's a nice outfit,
but that is not what that women compliment. Yeah, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's not well, especially right now, what's trendy is like
not for the male gaze. Everything's loose, everything's oversized.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like I'm sure lots of them will be
like oh with that outfit, but no guys like god damn. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But every time I'm super close to cutting it or
going to the barber.
Speaker 3: You get another hand, I get another.
Speaker 2: Dude jerking me off. Yeah, metaphoric in the showers for
the beard and the hair, and my hair will never
be this long again. So I'm like, ah, if I
cut it.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's been this long before.
Speaker 2: It's never been this long.
Speaker 3: Are you serious? It's been close to.
Speaker 1: The song he used to be extremely clean cut. You
look up Dan from his TFM days.
Speaker 3: I remember it. That's the day I bring back old
d look like you ate that Dawn.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even clips from this show a couple of years ago, unrecognizable.
There is a handsome man underneath this.
Speaker 3: And yet you're still wearing the same size shorts.
Speaker 1: All right, I told you before the show these are
extra large.
Speaker 3: They're so tight.
Speaker 2: I know because I keep getting.
Speaker 1: Bigger, sploating out leg days every day.
Speaker 2: Two thirty brother so much girth, I'm huge. It doesn't
translate on camera like people have no idea.
Speaker 1: You just look like a guy.
Speaker 3: I think it does. I feel like he said he.
Speaker 1: Would pop top one of these days, I will make
your top off. Yeah, for his birthday show, we'll have
to have it back on first.
Speaker 2: That's May what May fourteenth? Okay, and Dan will popped up.
But no, I get the compliment where I guess the
comment every time I go out and people meet me,
especially for like our normal job, for the shows they
do on location, they're always like, oh, you're way bigger
than I thought, Like, do I just sound like a bitch?
And it's probably a yes for.
Speaker 1: Your size and look, you do have a very soft voice,
soft hesitant voice.
Speaker 2: Like you don't project, I don't have confidence. Yeah, yeah,
but that's why I go to the gym.
Speaker 3: But's but that's the Dan like, I love the little,
the little sneaky Dan comments like some some of the
gold is in the whispers.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not not denying that at all. But Dan
still is like, oh yeah. And then meanwhile, old theater
boy here is just like, welcome to the show. Here
talking from my.
Speaker 2: Chest, cheap seeds in the film actor. He's a theater kid.
Speaker 1: It's different.
Speaker 2: It's subtle.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I guess getting ready for a role that I
have not locked down yet, which is I don't know.
Season two of The Revenant of American PRIMI.
Speaker 1: American Primary, Well, yeah, you need to be a cavalry
soldier slaughtering Mormons.
Speaker 2: I could be on either side. No, I could be
the Mormons.
Speaker 1: You don't give Mormon.
Speaker 2: No Mormon's on the show.
Speaker 3: I do really have never seen a Mormon with such
dark hair.
Speaker 1: I think I guess they fucked the blonde into themselves
later they didn't do it. Are the Originals were not?
I guess, I don't know. I don't they're so blonde
though they're Yeah, they're beautiful, I wouldn't. I mean the
women are mitt Romney. It's a good looking guy, I guess.
Speaker 3: But I have a thing with blonde men.
Speaker 1: He's not blonde.
Speaker 3: I don't like blind blonde eyebrows.
Speaker 1: Men blonde eyebrows, like men that are.
Speaker 3: So blonde to have blonde eyebrows. Okay, it's like it's
just too too blond.
Speaker 1: That might mean the pubes are blonde.
Speaker 2: I think all women hate blonde men because it's just
they just look too delicate, too boyish.
Speaker 3: Yeah, too like too delicate.
Speaker 2: No, so don't bleach my hair.
Speaker 3: No, rod that I hated the bleached hair. I think
I prefer this look to the bair and I don't
enjoy this look either.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I'll definitely cut it before I go
to the airport next Oh.
Speaker 3: No, actually I think you should leave it if you're
going to the airport next.
Speaker 2: Time we go on a trip for work. That right,
definitely clean up before I hit TSA.
Speaker 1: Whatever, do you look like someone TSA would flag? Uh?
Speaker 2: No, But I always get padded down the dick.
Speaker 3: That's just it's because they want to see your games.
Speaker 2: It's always hot in that area. And they always gotta
get a feel.
Speaker 1: Too much blood flow, too much heat.
Speaker 2: I guess I'm not though. It's just pretty average. It's
a boyfriend dick and it depends on the day, you know,
especially at airport. At the airport, I got an acorn going,
so it's freezing. I'm embarrassed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've been sitting in a car.
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, I promise I pushed more than this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you need me to get in, you want
to take me to the back room, I'll get here.
Speaker 2: So I fluff a little bit while I'm in line,
just tug on it because I know they're gonna pat
me down on the dick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just going with a full raging boner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would see. That's the only way to end
the embarrassment is to full mask.
Speaker 1: You'll either not get patted down at all or get
extra padded down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you do that.
Speaker 1: Uh, today's topic is a fun one. Uh, Gabby, I
don't know if you know this, but it's Irish Heritage Month.
As of three days ago, I.
Speaker 3: Didn't know that it was a heritage month. I thought
it was just like Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1: It just works so oh really, Donald Trump signed.
Speaker 2: He also made it Women's History Month.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: Already Women's History.

Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: It's Irish Hair Heritage Month and Women's History Month. We're
not doing to show wou women though, but we would
never Yeah, it's Irish Heritage Month. So we have an
Irish story today. And by the way, and true I
would give a shout out real quick into true Irish
Catholic fashion. My mother texted me the other day and
was like, You'll never guess who I ran into at
the fish fry?
Speaker 3: Is it somebody from church?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, if someone else in church, but this dude
I went to grade school with, who's like eight or
nine years Because it is Lent. It is Lent, so
it's fish fry season. I need to hit a fish
fry every Friday. Yeah, which my wife won't eat anything
at other than maybe the French fries because she hates all.
Speaker 2: Oh that's why you went where you went for your
date on Friday. What I didn't realize you're still practicing.
Speaker 1: Are you really try not to do meat on Fridays?
Speaker 3: For what to get into Heaven? Dan?
Speaker 1: Youah to get into heaven.
Speaker 2: You'd buy your way into heaven.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm doing. That's my plan.
Speaker 2: I think Friday on this planet, you live it up
and then you just make a bunch of coin and
pay God off.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a good thing that being Catholic is. No
matter what you do, if you say Sally, then it
all goes away.
Speaker 2: I'm left fro Yeah, they're just like ate off Hitler
right before he killed himself. He's like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good. That was my favorite line from Furious, Like, hey,
Hitler going to heaven. Child, Buff's like, how about you?
And if he if he gives a soul or Jesus
kind of skype Man's law though, like fucking redneck. I
enjoyed that one, but now my my mom was like,
the guess they're getting into it. It had the fish
fry and like, uh so Catholic. I love this already.
Speaker 2: And from this guy school grade.
Speaker 1: School with old of me, he's like a uh Saint
Louis restaurant tour of some repute, has the best barbecue
restaurant in Saint Louis, Salt and smoke. His name's Tommy Schmidt,
and I guess he. I haven't talked to him in
a million years. Uh. He came up to her and
she was like, I listened to your son's podcast. I
really like it. Ah, And I was like.
Speaker 2: Are you giving them the shout out so you can
get that Tom's meal?
Speaker 1: Dude? Some Yeah, I want some brisket, burn and tea rats.
They make burn and toast, gravioli at salt and smoke.
It's fucking fire and pimento cheese tea Rats also fire.
You're shameless, I am, But no, Tommy, what's up dude?

If they ask me what I do, I'm like I
am a grave digger or something anything other than anything
than this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wheel hospice corpses into the fucking furnace, like like
anything other than self promotion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just so embarrassing.
Speaker 2: It is for it's like I don't know, great subscribe
please check out my Instagram story please and I feel
camera as a selfie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Patreon subscribers new sketch up on the Patreon
check it out. But yeah, today, since it's Irish Heritage Month,
we're talking about an episode from Irish history that is.
Speaker 2: Perhaps Daniel Murphy Patrick register.
Speaker 1: If I wrote this about Irish people, or if I
wrote what happened here, but replace the Irish part with
other stereotypes of another race, Like if I wrote it
like it was, you would be like, you're the most
racist person.
Speaker 2: I ever for Mexicans, Like yeah, like if I did.
Speaker 3: That, like there is a lot in common. There is
same culture, different carbs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, same religion, culture, different types of liquor. Yeah, if
like it is just so on brand stereotypical that if
you wrote this about it's not about people, it's it's honestly,
even the right person would be offended by this if
you wrote this about the Irish, you know what I mean,
Like if you thought they thought it was fiction, but
it's not fiction.
Speaker 2: It's very real danger.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's change of the fish. It just proves
that we as the Irish are not a serious people.
Speaker 2: Essentially, are you gonna make an argument for why the
English kept us in internment camps?
Speaker 1: So that's what two thousand, that's what I started out with.
This is like, I know that.
Speaker 2: You know this, you know that's pretty recent. IRA members
are guys that they like quote unquote labeled IRA that
were just dudes in Northern Ireland that were.
Speaker 1: Catholic military age males.
Speaker 2: They just put internment camps and then they got out
in like two thousand.
Speaker 3: That's crazy because like the troubles ended in the nineties.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and great Brandon, right for the English, the troubles,
the troubles, the troubles, Oh yes, the troubles in Ireland.
Speaker 1: Yes, which by the way, they.
Speaker 2: Don't get enough ship for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they don't get enough ship for anything. But
they are in fourth place eternally.
Speaker 2: So India, South Africa, Ireland, Like, whoa dude, The English.
Speaker 3: They don't do anything right, but.
Speaker 1: Their teams they sound smart and sophisticated, so you're like,
they think me.
Speaker 3: About it until they until you see their teeth, they
open their mouths.
Speaker 1: It's different story. But like typically when people are conquered
on this show, when we talk about people, like certain
people who were conquered a lot of times they're assholes.
So were like, dude, I don't even care that something
bad happened to you, Like the Aztecs for example, like
the Spanish weren't nice, but the Astecs weren't nice either,
So it's just kind of like whatever, whatever, I'm not
weeping for Mana Zuma or like the Japanese in World
War two, fucking monsters, don't really care. Even the Mongols
took down some douchebags, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like quite a few, quite a few douchebags Mongol empire. Man,
they really let that go.
Speaker 1: They never wanted it.
Speaker 2: They really slipped up.
Speaker 1: They weren't They weren't there for empire.
Speaker 2: Even after Genghis though they were still conquering.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's not what they were about. That's only
what they were.
Speaker 3: They were about chaos like ripe and pillage and function up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody wants to run a city, no fucking snooze, dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't want like jobs like they don't want
to be in office, they want to be in the field.
Speaker 1: It's like when the Taliban, when the US left Afghanistan,
everyone in the Taliban had to get a job. They
couldn't just ride around and pick up trucks with their
boys anymore.
Speaker 2: Sleeping giants still you think, who Mongolian?
Speaker 1: You never know, they're just sitting They're just.
Speaker 2: Waiting for their time to take over again, just hanging
out on their strike when you.
Speaker 1: Least expect it, on their tiny little ponies. So we
usually feel that way, or even the Romans like they
were and all these people, by the way, when they
got Conker, when they got their shit fucked up, they
were like still actively being assholes right like it would
be a tragedy if London or something was sacked today
because the English aren't actively being you know, imperial assholes
right like they used to do that. They don't do
that out All these people were like actively being assholes.
Speaker 3: When they get It's like you put bad in, you get,
you get bad right back.
Speaker 1: The Irish have were never a great nation in terms
of like con according other places or anything. Always the abused,
never the abuser, whether it's the English or Vikings or whatever.
But the Irish might be the one people. And maybe
it's because I'm Irish, so I feel like I could
say the actually the one people that even though they
really never did anything wrong aside from normal shit that
every civilization does wrong on like a small scale, I
still am just like, you're not a serious people, and
I and I think it's like the one group of
whites that you can kind of got what was coming
to you that you can't.
Speaker 2: Blame for colonialism, the Irish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also blame them for It's just like
you're so unseerious that you almost have like what this
type of thing, Like your friend gets the shit kicked
out of him walking through a shitty neighborhood, but it's like, dude,
you called me and were like, I'm gonna walk through
this neighborhood and see what happens. Yeah, it's like, well
I don't, Yeah, your skull's fractured.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 3: You're looking for trouble. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's accurate though, if you're just kind
of chilling and living where you've always lived.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they're not a serious people.
Speaker 2: I get that they're not going out of their way
to be in the way of others.
Speaker 1: They're not going out of their way to be serious either, they're.
Speaker 2: Just trying to mind their own they are, but like
they're not even.
Speaker 3: Like having good defense, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't play good.
Speaker 3: Defense, no good like and obviously no offense. So like
like they're just fucking they're just getting pillaged.
Speaker 2: So today we're going to talk about trying to have
a good dying.
Speaker 1: The most stereotypical, like offensively stereotypical Irish thing that ever happened,
and it's all fucking real, The Great Dublin Whiskey Fire
of eighteen seventy five.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's all. That's cool. That sounds cool.
Speaker 1: It's a good time.
Speaker 2: Only a couple of decades after famine. After famine, yeah,
which we covered Potento. Famine was not just one thing
it was there was probably more years where there wasn't
or there was less years where there wasn't a famine.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The English, I'm starving them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there wasn't a ship wasn't growing, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is fun to be like what just you know,
you can't grow potatoes or go fish. The English wouldn't
let them fish.
Speaker 3: But like they didn't even say for it, like the ships.
Speaker 1: No, well they tried, yeah, but they again unseerious people,
and here's we're gonna time for that right now. The
fire is believed to have started in Lawrence Malone's storehouse
on the corner of r D Street in Dublin. Three
hundred and fifteen thousand gallons of whiskey were being stored in.
Speaker 3: Why does he have so much? Is he like a
it's like a factory.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's they're making whiskey there, so it's just shipped
to a whiskey there. The value of that whiskey is
six million pounds in today's money, so just to like
this is what got to be one of the biggest
whiskey storehouses in the city, in the City of Whiskey.
While the exact cause of the fire is unknown, it
is believed to have started after four thirty five PM,
when the storehouse was last checked, when you know, they
did their last rounds to make sure everything was good,
and eight thirty PM when the alarm was raised. At
nine thirty the fire had gotten to a point where
the barrels in the storehouse got to them and they
began to explode from the heat, this scent exploding whiskey,
a deluge, an absolute explosion, tsunami of whiskey shooting out
the doors and windows of the burning building. Oh my god,
just like a fucking torrent of whiskey out of every orifice.
Speaker 2: Of that fucking building. Yeah, okay, where was this place located?
In a poor neighborhood? Perhaps?
Speaker 1: Yep, of course, Yeah, in a poor neighborhood. You don't
put a storehouse in a nice neighborhood. There's no store
there's no storehouses in Highland Park, Texas. Yeah, you know
what I mean. There's no storehouses in the Upper east Side.
Speaker 3: People just drinking from the streets, just taking a cup
and filling up.
Speaker 2: And yeah, we'll get to that.
Speaker 3: Okay, but yep, worse, I mean, hey, whiskey river coming
through so.
Speaker 1: Allegedly, according to the Irish Examiner article that was at
the written at the time, the whiskey streams were initially
twenty to thirty feet high in the street. Just a
fucking wall of whiskey. Apparently.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, did I'm gonna try to body set
that whiskey wave the stream of canoe?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the stream of Whiskey shot down several streets
and destroyed a roll of small houses and then also
uh some tightly packed tenement buildings across a couple streets,
Mill Street, Tardy Street, Chimer Street, and Clark Street. We're
all destroyed by the Wall of Whiskey.
Speaker 3: A thousand people lived there, probably in four houses, yeah,
like five rooms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like just children sleep on other children.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like the original bunk beds.
Speaker 1: Like your teenager sleeps on a bed of toddlers situation.
Speaker 2: You used your younger brothers and sisters as rafts, Yeah,
as flotation device when the strong survive.
Speaker 1: I mean they have soft bodies, they're comfortable to sleep on, right,
take dynamic love taking a nap.
Speaker 3: With their hairless, so they kind of glide through the water,
that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And they're dirty, so they're greased up and they're dirty. Yeah.
Just I mean, you're good.
Speaker 3: I think makes a better flotation device than a dirty child.
Speaker 1: Slash a couple dirty toddlers together and you'll be fucking fine.
So what did the Irish do drink when a tsunami
drink of whiskey drink coming down?
Speaker 2: Well not first you have to get the containers to
put the whisky into drink.
Speaker 1: No, you don't.
Speaker 3: You've got pots, you got pants.
Speaker 2: You're just going with your hands scooping it up.
Speaker 1: They're mostly used they now many people did run out
into the pots and pans. Many more use their hands and.
Speaker 3: Shoes, ew, whiskey, shoe Did you ever do that? What
was it called?
Speaker 2: Shoeyes?
Speaker 1: Shoey?
Speaker 3: So you have you have done it?
Speaker 1: Not done the show?
Speaker 3: Have you done it?
Speaker 2: I've done it?
Speaker 1: Shoey?
Speaker 2: Yeah, to celebrate.
Speaker 3: With your own shoe or someone else's shoe. Okay, good,
that's hygienic.
Speaker 2: To celebrate a Australian mma fighter win in a fight.
Speaker 3: How much money did you win?
Speaker 2: It was like two hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew I was just the love of the game.
I knew there was.
Speaker 2: But his whole thing is he would do shoeies from
the crowd once he won a fight, so I did
in Unison. But he would do someone else's shoes because
he's yeah, yeah, he's somebody from the audience would throw
them their boot.
Speaker 3: If you're a fighter, you are getting pretty regular teennis shots.
So I think while it is gross, like if anyone
can do it, you're.
Speaker 2: Getting worse from the mats you practice on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get eight fucking ring worms in you in
any even time. That's why fighters actually have to eat
so much. It's not their workout regimens other lives. Yeah yeah,
so yeah.
Speaker 3: So they're drinking from shoes.
Speaker 1: They ran out to drink it. But here's the thing.
These people, we're so excited for the free alcohol flowing
through the streets that they didn't even care that it
was on fire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but how much of it was on fire? A
lot of it, and how many dead bodies.
Speaker 3: They're not drinking when it's on fire. It's a what
are they like?
Speaker 2: How?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: It It is like fire is spreading down the street,
on the whiskey and through the houses, and they're just like,
we got we got thirty for more seconds at least
we got a couple of minutes before the fire gets here.
Just scoop top, scoop as much up as you can.
Speaker 2: That's a fun bar gag that bartenders to get the
flaming shots.
Speaker 1: What is the one on Sixth Street? Shots just shopping? Yeah,
just shot bar?
Speaker 2: What is that place called shot Shot?
Speaker 1: No, it's not buck Shot. It's next to buck Shot.
Speaker 2: Who cares?
Speaker 1: Whatever?
Speaker 3: I've probably thrown up there.
Speaker 1: People ran toward the flames with pots in hand. This
is a quote, or this is an excerpt from the Irish.
Speaker 2: Is this where they're saying, my man pots and Pans
comes from. That's the saying, yeah, you've never heard that.
Speaker 1: That might be local to Philadelphia, Irish.
Speaker 2: Okay, my man pots and pans.
Speaker 3: It sounds like a Drake lyric.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, that does.
Speaker 2: He's not the best.
Speaker 3: Writer, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Again, he doesn't have a pulitzerprise.
Speaker 2: He does make hits.
Speaker 1: Though, he does make hits. But you can't get into
a battle of wits with a Politzer prize winner, which
is technicle Marlwine.
Speaker 2: Yeah you can when he's five to two in a gremlin.
Speaker 1: No, you can get into a battle of fists with
that man. Yeah, you could fist fight him. You can't
word fight him.
Speaker 2: I'm over it. I think the whole country.
Speaker 1: Is Yeah, I don't care. But the Irish Times wrote
at the time this is like right after it, and
I'll do it in the Irish accent. It is stated
that cops, porringers and other vessels were in great requisition
to scoop up the liquor as it flowed from the
burning premises, and as disgusting as it may seem, some
fellows were observed to take off their boots and use
them as drinking cups. So they were taking on And
by the way, this isn't like my rebock. This is it.
Speaker 2: It's like a worn leather, filthy leather boot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have other shoes, you're wearing them constantly
your feet or it's an eighteen nineteenth century foot.
Speaker 2: So permanent athlete's foot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just a moldy foot. If you even have a sock,
it's your only sock. Yeah, type of situation. Just foul. Now,
granted presumably the whiskey, does it.
Speaker 3: Really kill bacteria foot fungus?

Speaker 3: It's not that I'm it's I don't know. I think
it's just other people's germs. I don't mind when they
cook it and like I get to serve my own plate.
But it's like when there's just too many I don't know,
too many things going in there are little kids. Oh,
if there's a little kids, I'm touching it.
Speaker 1: At nachos and then I see but like there's one
other chip and I'm like, oh, but I got not
to You're a whole spoonful one chimpinis And.
Speaker 3: Then you're licking your finger as you're serving the queso
and you're like oops, and you got to go like
this and then yeah, no.
Speaker 1: That's called natural immunity. You got to build up that tolerance.
Speaker 3: That tolerance. I mean, listen, you've got a lot of
tolerance because you've got unknown germs coming in and out
with you. With those kiddos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just fucking bodied me.
Speaker 3: Fucking orifice like they're just you and like.
Speaker 2: Half the world. What what about is like sick right now?

Speaker 2: Not despite the football.
Speaker 1: But yeah he didn't get sick. So good. The beard
caught all of it.
Speaker 3: That is the good thing. I think the beard is catching.
Speaker 1: All the my face filter.
Speaker 2: We've talked about this on the Patreon. That was a
medical belief in the eighteen hundreds that beards prevented disease.
Speaker 3: Well, pubes the same with pubes.
Speaker 1: That's why, like right, I mean, I guess it's harder
to get herpes if you a pube shield.
Speaker 3: No, But then they've shaved because then they wore the markets.
I don't know, I don't know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I think they shave the hookers. Maybe shaved because they
had crabs, yeah and they didn't need Yeah, but they
wore the marcans to be like, don't wear it. Don't
worry it. I can't do hell it right now.
Speaker 3: Don't do it.
Speaker 1: I can't do it.
Speaker 3: Don't strain yourself. We need the Irish accent.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's honestly for the fellows out there at home.
If she asks you to use a condom because she
doesn't trust you for STDs, just be like, no, it's cool.
I got a Harry Bush.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at my bush.
Speaker 3: Look at my bush.
Speaker 1: And honestly, of all the STDs you can get, I.
Speaker 3: Had a rowdy bush one time and I still was like,
just do you have a condo?
Speaker 2: Can people still get crabs?
Speaker 3: I haven't seen fel crab. I don't know. I've never
known anyone.
Speaker 2: It seems like something you get from a brothel, white
white church in the eighteen.
Speaker 3: The only thing I know is HPV.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, everyone's got HPV.
Speaker 3: If you don't have HPVA, you're a fucking virgin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fucking virgin. If you don't have HPV nerd uh.
But the only people I know who STD of people

chlamydia and then herpes, like like the funniest thing is
like the one of two people in collegehood herpes.

Speaker 2: Oh no, there's one guy.
Speaker 3: Am I never they never recovered many people herpes?
Speaker 1: Oh weird.

but like that should be it.
Speaker 1: There should be a cud be liable. Yeah, some way,
some way we were just like, dude.
Speaker 3: Like, stop giving everyone herpee?
Speaker 1: What is I mean? I guess you have to get
just use a condom.
Speaker 3: Like, what's the big deal?
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was really you should be exiled, yeah, I
mean no, everybody with herpes should be lepers to society.
Speaker 1: Herpes island. There should be a herpes I don't like,
but I watch herpes.
Speaker 3: Honestly because people with herpes deserve love too.
Speaker 2: They don't. They do not with normal folks.
Speaker 1: Yea, with other people with other there should be is
there wait? Is there a herpes dating site?
Speaker 2: There has to be a herpes didn't have for sure?
Speaker 1: Yep, there is pause of singles number one herpes dating side.

Speaker 2: It's a scarletletter.
Speaker 1: Whos also love without judgment? Meet herpes positive women in
your area?
Speaker 3: Oh god, that's just remember swiping on the app, so

the normal given people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want them.
Speaker 1: They're on a digital island.
Speaker 3: It's separate but equal, dude.
Speaker 2: Now they're honestly probably on everything.
Speaker 3: Do you know that they're like instead of like the
rose or the super swipe, Like, what is their thing?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Is it like a like you got a red Ribbons
anti bacteria you gotta I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is that a hinge thing? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like roses or like super sweat.
Speaker 1: You're fucking a simp. You're fucking pathetic if you give
a rose.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah, the people that gave me roses.
I was like the fact that you think I would
ever talk to you, It's like that's insane, Like you
just threw away money. Like I'm like, it's it's always
like the really sad ugly guys that are doing that.
It's like there needs to be in a dating app
for ugly people too, like they need their own place.
Speaker 1: Let's see dating apps for ugly people.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, it's called hinge.
Speaker 1: What's this it's called ugly schmucks? Yeah, ugly. What if
you were just like a like a six and you
just went and cleaned up on ugly schmucks?
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, dude, that's that's what dating apps are for,
is for six is to clean up. That's truly like
they're truly hot people aren't on dating apps.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't need to.
Speaker 3: Be not hot cool people.
Speaker 1: Who was an actual like animal Tender Dan No, well
maybe I don't know, but uh Jake. Oh really, before
Jake started dating his wife, I lived with him and
it was like every night, every night, and all of
them were from Tender.
Speaker 3: Yeah he had he had just bring them over.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he had just graduated college, so he was
like twenty three.
Speaker 2: Early twenties, Like, yeah, those were the days early day
and apps because you didn't have to go anywhere and.
Speaker 3: There was no like payment like that was like it
was just.
Speaker 1: Oh no, but there was a paywall. Yeah for Tinder
back in the day. Really, you know what that paywall was.
It was only available in iOS.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's the best paywall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need an Apple phone.
Speaker 3: That's the best pay the only one we really need. Yeah, yeah,
I could, I could. I could talk about that for
so on.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: There was like a marked difference when it got to
the Androids school.
Speaker 3: The photos are crazy looking. It's like, oh that's an
Android yep, where their font is different for some reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was the like the the drop of quality
when it got on Google Play.
Speaker 2: Also, you know, it was big here back back in
the day in our early twenties. Androper grouper was fun.
You and two boys, two of your boys just meet
up with a gre.
Speaker 3: Well, then you all go to the bathroom together and
we're like, you know, like we're like, okay, let's know,
I like it, Like, let's kind of rewrite.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I never gotten vide to a group
of Grooper was always expert going on groupers are another one.
Speaker 3: Coffee meets bagel. Okay, that was another grouper.
Speaker 2: Even if it was bad, right, you and your boys
just got.
Speaker 3: A good story.
Speaker 2: Fun, just drank continued your night. Yeah, yeah, he's out
with your friends and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for you, it's like, maybe the guys will just
pay for everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then one of us pretends to cry and
then we leave when someone someone gets sad.
Speaker 1: Diabolical. Diabolical. So another thing that was going on. They
weren't just going to the streets, despite the fact that
the building full of flammable material and flammable liquid was
on fire so bad that the flames were rising thirty
feet into the air. People were running into the building
to take the barrels of whiskey that hadn't exploded. Oh
my god, running into the straight up inferno.
Speaker 3: Why does this sound like Delco? Like this sounds like
it could have just been happening. Sound like the Eagles
want to say, Yeah, it sounds like an Eagles.
Speaker 2: Win, because we're not far off, you.
Speaker 3: Know, because you are Irish.
Speaker 2: It is our heritage. Yeah, it is our people. Yeah,
it's a tradition.
Speaker 1: You carry that torch proudly. And by the way, the
people were drinking this whiskey from the streets. Back to
your point about not wanting to drink from a moldy boot,
despite the fact that the streets were a.
Speaker 3: Rat fested Yeah, and there everywhere there.
Speaker 1: Is animal ship.
Speaker 2: Probably have rats ever done everything besides the black leg? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
besides that one thing, just the black leg.
Speaker 3: Just that and probably true through a wire. That was important.
Speaker 2: I bet they get blamed wrongly too for the black plague.
But it was a different animal.
Speaker 1: Well they say it was because there was a spree
of killing cats because they got very anti witch at
the time.
Speaker 3: Oh and then the cat population sank, and then the
rat population grew.
Speaker 1: Yeah, much similar to China's killing sparrows. Yeah, so so
there were like ten x the amount of locusts. And
then it just tells me they weren't a million people
starved to death.
Speaker 2: They weren't doing enough science back then, because there's plenty
of rats to experiment on what now back then?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they didn't do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the science that they were working on, I
feel like, I feel like they were still trying to
figure out They hadn't discovered washing your hands yet. I
think they were a little bit away fat experimentation.
Speaker 1: In fact, this is probably the cleanest many boots ever were. Yeah,
after being sanitized by whiskey. Yeah. Another thing these people did.
Another thing these people ignored. I guess you could say
while they were drinking from the streets, from the river
of whiskey flowing violently through the streets. Is that so
obviously there's a lot of animal shit in the streets
and stuff right where that animal shit was from as
many science as posit animals. Sure, and they were not
just horses and donkeys and stuff, but there were also
like pig sties in the streets and you know, along
the streets.
Speaker 2: Let's stop you right now. Your tone sounds like you're
too good for street whiskey.
Speaker 1: You know I'm not.
Speaker 2: I would definitely be scooping it up with my shoe.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean a you know, I'm not too
good for street whiskey.
Speaker 2: But I mean I've done a bar mat shot. It
can't be much.
Speaker 3: Well, that's disgusting.
Speaker 1: You've done you do with Jared?
Speaker 2: I did with Jared?
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, yeah, Oh it's so bad. Here's the
thing about all those animals.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I wanted to make five bucks you what they
paid you.
Speaker 3: This was poor Dan. This was this was when Dan
had three digits in his bank account.
Speaker 2: Oh less than that. There wasn't a team was dark.
Speaker 1: There was not even the only character and there was
a decimal point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've overdrafted my account. Go to Rob's wedding.
Speaker 3: We talk about this every time.
Speaker 1: It's so great though.
Speaker 2: Because I forgot that you had to pay for parking
for parking, yeah, I appreciate, I did all the math.
I'm like, this might just work like a night for parking.
Speaker 1: Fuck. I feel like, yeah, in the quarter too, because
that's it's weird.
Speaker 3: You could have like, you could have parked somewhere else.
Speaker 2: No, no, I couldn't. My truck in New Orleans. Not
a hole in that in that area too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the Quarter.
Speaker 3: It's tight.
Speaker 1: It's tight. It's not made for trucks. So the thing is,
they were also drinking this whiskey out of the streets,
despite the fact a that there was a fire everywhere
and boop everywhere. There were poop everywhere, and see, they
didn't even really seem to care that as they were
drinking the whiskey. Uh, flaming animals running past them. Oh no,
because all the animals caught on fire.
Speaker 3: Okay, flaming rats.
Speaker 2: Great band name, Yeah, but also sounds like you're getting
both booze and a meal. Well, at least a show.
There's a show, but then you know, grab a flaming chicken.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you take it out carbone.
Speaker 1: There were flames, the pigs were on fire, horses were unfired.
Speaker 2: Fresh bacon fire, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just roasted on a stick.
Speaker 1: Might not a smell bed, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Take one of the you know, something that broke off
the building, Take a wooden spear, shove it through whatever.
Speaker 2: Animal that's you're putting it out of.
Speaker 1: It's miser a spiggot over the whiskey. Yeah, bourbon smoked,
bourbon smoked rat. Can bourbon smoked rat.
Speaker 2: That's that's delicious.
Speaker 3: See I would eat that. Yeah, I would eat that
because it's cooked.
Speaker 1: And again, Tommy Schmid, if you're listening, you have a
restaurant suourbon smoked smoked, just try it, just saying, uh so, yeah,
all these animals run.
Speaker 3: It's like quail, Like it's such tender, delicate, tiny meat.
I could like a corner like a cornish game. Hen,
but it's a rat.
Speaker 1: I could see rat actually not being that bad.
Speaker 3: Right, to be honest, especially the New York rats, Like
those are.
Speaker 1: Meaty, meaty, they got a lot of yeah, big rat,
they're well fed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are huge, they're like sized.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those rats have like iras.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like we're like five weeks away,
five years away whatever from just seeing like he doesn't
like get it, like he doesn't finish the job, but
like a like you see like there's videos like a
coyote snatching a toddler in La, you know what I mean,
Like the dad like gets it back real quick. But
I feel like that's not far from like a rat,
like taking a toddler on a subway platform and the
mom having like run and grab it back. Yeah, it's
being dragged away.
Speaker 3: First came pizza rat, then came toddler.
Speaker 2: Such modest internet days, Pizza rat.
Speaker 3: I wanted to go as pizza rat for Halloween and
I wanted to be the pizza and I wanted my
boyfriend to be the rat, and he wouldn't do it,
And I think that's why we broke up.
Speaker 1: Probably rats are not even a bad costume.
Speaker 3: I was like, that would be so funny. It's not
like now it's you know.
Speaker 1: You just draw some whiskers on, wear some grayes.
Speaker 3: Like I don't want to be a rat.
Speaker 1: I was like, for what who are you trying to? Like?
Speaker 3: Where do you want to try to look cool, let's
be funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you already you already got a girl. Yeah, so
you don't even need to.
Speaker 3: Like I want to be a slutty pizza or were.
Speaker 1: You gonna be a slutty pizza.
Speaker 3: Yeah, be a hot rat, hot rat, slutty pizza.
Speaker 1: Just nips as pepperoni exactly, just.
Speaker 3: My regular pepperoni nipples. They're they're normal, they're normal.
Speaker 1: Look, I mean, pepperonis aren't that big really, so pepperoni
nipples doesn't really work. Salami nip would be a better Yeah. Yeah, no,
Pepperoni nip is almost what you want to be honest.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just the size of a pepperoni on your pizza.
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially cooked when it's like, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: A solid nipple size. Yeah, I don't know, it's nonsensical.
Salami nipples.
Speaker 3: Salami nipples from here on out, please, um So chaos
and streets.
Speaker 1: Thankfully, though, these animals on fire actually saved a lot
of lives because it was late, it was like eight
nine o'clock and people were going about their day and
more people would have would not have evacuated had they
not heard these pigs screaming on fire, screaming. Yeah, so
people are like, I don't know, that's that's not the
sound that pigs make normally. What do you think those pigs.
Speaker 3: Are running down the street like their little curly tail
on fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mary, I think we should get out of here,
grab a pig. Yeah well then, well maybe they should
have grabbed a pig.
Speaker 2: It probably seems like scenes out of regulations.
Speaker 3: At this point.
Speaker 1: It probably at least one person thought it was the
end of the world.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: The father experience of it. Hell, Mary us know.
Speaker 3: There was one homeless man screaming about there will come
a day when the rats and the pigs are on fire.
Speaker 1: And you will be drowned in the alcohol.
Speaker 3: And the water will be replaced with the whiskey of
your sins.
Speaker 2: Think of the validation he felt that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like, I'm not crazy, I'm just.
Speaker 1: He's like, I fucking told you so. Also, there's regular looting.
By the way, there's several people.
Speaker 3: Will what's the whole that's the best part.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So we were like you, I've never looted. I would
love to.
Speaker 2: I've never been in aolution, I've rioted, I've not looted.
It was a celibratory riot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it wasn't an angry.
Speaker 3: Riot chaotic good you know, like in the quadrant psy chaotic.
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't understand stealing a TV at this point.
Speaker 3: They're so cheap, They are so cheap.
Speaker 1: For you.
Speaker 3: That's just loot from a pharmacy. I don't know why
people aren't looting from different kinds of business.
Speaker 1: Why would you? Yeah, why would you not break into
a pharmacy and just get like vicoin.
Speaker 3: Or yeah, or pills?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think, By the way, if there's any
sort of obviously like you know, liquor stories, grocery store
and weed stories, you megs, like if there's a if
there's a riot in La, why would you.
Speaker 3: Not go to Arawan? Yeahtle like leave best By alone.
Like if you have any renters insurance and there's a
natural disaster, like you're gonna get all new ship anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now they're causing all the CVS's and Walgreens
to put everything behind a case. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, but if it's underwater.
Speaker 1: Or or if it's a looting situation, you have time
to smash that case.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and an aluminum baseball and a little bit of gumption.
Speaker 1: You're fine.
Speaker 2: The plastic case is a heartbreak.
Speaker 1: You can get it.
Speaker 3: You have time, loot a gun, shoot the plastic. It
would be really funny.
Speaker 1: I get that deodorant. Yeah, uh that evening. One man
in particular, John McGrain, met his neighbor on the corner
of Bow Street in Dublin's h.
Speaker 3: I love how specific they are with their reporting. Is
like where the streets are.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, it's like a story.
Speaker 2: Great storytellers. Yeah, going to leave any detail.
Speaker 1: Word was spreading quickly that there was a huge fire
and golfing the Liberties, which is what that neighborhood was called.
Uh So they went down there at ten pm to
see what was going on, and they were like, oh shit,
there's whiskey everywhere. At this point it had calmed down
a little bit, but the streets were still filled with
six inches deep of whiskey that was like across the
whole street or whatever. So they they they partook in
the and everyone everyone else was out in the streets
just drinking it all up. But because it had calmed
down a little bit, still everything was still on fire,
but they were able to drink a little quick easier.
Speaker 2: Now that's kind of the twist for this specific boost tsunami.
What that's on fire? We've already done two of these. Yeah,
I know this happened pretty often the boot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, booz tsunamis were like oddly regular.
Speaker 3: I think we're overdue for one at this point. When
the last time we had a boost tsunami has because.
Speaker 2: We had the Great Molasses Flood. I then covered one
in England that was beer. I believe that was beer.
Speaker 1: I actually had to search back through the history of
the show to make sure we hadn't done this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how do I'll keep track?
Speaker 1: You just look it up if I need to.
Speaker 2: I usually remember it, but Rob does. He doesn't know
what he covered himself like two weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like what happened this is it's the
equivalent episode Southwest south West Right now, if we're recording this,
I feel like this is the equal like whiskey flooding
through the streets in Dublin.
Speaker 2: Was an activation.
Speaker 1: It is essentially, it's like it'd be like if it
starts snowing cocaine in downtown Austin. Yeah, like that's the
south By equivalent.
Speaker 2: It started up being like we want to be a disruptor.
We want to change the game.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't or it was quite disruptive actually.
Speaker 3: The pigs, especially to the.
Speaker 1: Pick, especially also to this one dog that we're going
to talk about real quick. One thing I feel like
the people of Dublin probably could have used because they
were focusing on all the wrong things. I guess at
least their focus was sharp because whiskey was going down
the street, but I feel like they were they had
a lack of focus in a lot of ways because
they didn't see the fires, and they didn't see the
animals on fire and so much. And one one thing
for me is I also often have a lack of
focus because I have ADHD and you know, kids and
all this stuff title time. And one thing that I
really love is taking Magic Mind to help with said
lack of focus. It is super super helpful for me

So one dog in particular apparently started lapping up quite
a bit of whiskey and naturally.
Speaker 2: Did he get drunk, and got.
Speaker 1: Really drunk and had a very bad time. He went
pretty much insane. It's not a cute story whatever. The
opposite of a cute story is what this. So the dog,
now drunk on this whiskey and crazy, ran into the
open door of the home of William Eyre on Dominic
Copper Street. On Dominic Street, Topper Sorry. The dog was, allegedly,
according to the newspaper article, foaming at the mouth and suffering, yeah,
suffering delirium tremens because of all the whiskey he drank.
The dog ran around the house knocking shit over, just
going fucking bananas. And the homeowner, you know, the guy's like,
mister Iers, like, get the fuck out of here, Get
the fuck get out of here, you fucking mongrel, And
the dog is like fuck me, fuck you, Yeah, starts
attacking the homeowner. So the homeowner the dog's just drunken. Yeah,
the dog's just drunken. Angry homeowner grabs an iron bar
starts trying to hit the dog. It does hit the dog.
The dog runs upstairs, still shit faced, going insane, jumps
out the window dies.
Speaker 2: Well damn dude, that's just on one. Are you sure
you didn't have like rabies?
Speaker 3: The should have done that in old yeller?
Speaker 1: Do you have to.
Speaker 2: Blame the whiskey for everything?
Speaker 3: Yeah? What did whiskey ever do to you?
Speaker 1: Uh? Nothing great, nothing good. Yeah. The paper said it
terminate quote terminated its existence in the road below.
Speaker 3: I love how there's always been a way to say
killed themselves, because you can't say suicide or kill yourself,
like like today it's like unlive because of TikTok, but
like deleted, terminated existence, like like you can't say abortion,
but you can say like fetus, delete us or whatever
the fuck.
Speaker 1: I do like that they were I think this was
just a writer trying to sound fancier than they were.
Speaker 3: Yeah, termination, But I feel like for Catholics, especially like
suicide is like a more like so like, you know,
even with a dog, you don't want to say a
dog committed suicide.
Speaker 2: Fetis delete us also sounds like a Roman general.
Speaker 1: It does like he won the god of abortion a
battle against the versions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the old old school Roman.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Now, despite being these homes being destroyed and the fire
spreading all over the place and not being under control
for a while, would you believe that zero people died
from the fire. The fire didn't kill anyone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't sound that bad.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, there's a left turn here, and I'm
gonna imagine it's because they were already dead when they
caught fire.
Speaker 1: Uh close, they didn't. They didn't catch fire. Thirteen people
did die of alcohol.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, self induced.
Speaker 3: I would have thought it was eco ever eating all
that shit.
Speaker 2: Nope, they just got too fucked up. Thirteen free whiskey. Thirteen.
Speaker 3: That's the most pathetic thing about it, Like, you guys
don't know how to fucking drink, Like it's not I
think you guys don't spend all day drinking all the time.
Speaker 1: There was an ex problem with the flood. Oh no,
this was undiluted whiskey. They were essentially they thought it
was whiskey. It smelled like whiskey, but it had the
proof of rubbing alcohol.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Fuck so it's you know, you drink some concentrated
cold brew, right, imagine if you pour a diut.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this whiskey was way fucking higher proof. It
was not meant to be drunk yet. Yeah, it was
still whatever to be cut. Yeah.
Speaker 3: They're doing full boots full boot oh god, it was.
Speaker 2: And they're drinking it fast because you need to put
your boot bag.
Speaker 1: They're drinking as fast as I can, Like, we don't
know how long we're gonna get the free fucking with you, Like,
let's fucking go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an open bar tab Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 3: Race, it is.
Speaker 1: They were racing. Thirteen people I think like twenty five
or twenty eight or something went to the hospital with
alcohol poisoning. Thirteen died.
Speaker 3: Were they all men?
Speaker 1: I don't know. The only ones I read about were men,
but I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like a man thing, it does.
Speaker 2: They're all women. Actually, they were all girls because they
couldn't handle the booze.
Speaker 1: In one alley when the firefighters and authorities were going through,
they just found two guys I'll just read the quote exactly.
Two corn porters named Healey and McNulty were found in
a lane off Cork Street, lying insensible with their boots off,
which they had evidently used to collect the liquor. So
they just found two guys dead in a fucking alley
with their shoes off, with one shoe off each completely obliterated.
The guy we talked about earlier, William whatever the fuck
his name was, his buddy. His buddy said that he
was drinking from the flow.
Speaker 2: Potato face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, William, potato potato. He was scooping it up with
his cupped hands. He drank a great deal. What I
drank was out of a jug. Nearly everyone was drinking it.
William was one of the people who died of alcohol poisoning.
It said. The deceased suddenly fell down and became insensible.
Two men strangers helped me bring William part of the
way home as far as Meath Street. We then met
some other men neighbors, who helped bring him the rest
of the way to the hospital. William arrived home shortly
before midnight. I'm sorry they brought him home, not to
the hospital. Arrived home shortly before midnight and he was
brought to the hospital the next morning in a state
of quote profound coma, like he just never woke up. Yeah,
they brought him the hospital.
Speaker 3: What is the hospital going to do?
Speaker 1: They know?
Speaker 2: They give him more whiskey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's hair of the dog. They did, I
think give like they did have certain work here hangover
that might actually work here.
Speaker 3: I mean I don't think, I guess so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you're taking the booze.
Speaker 3: Out, if you take the booze and blood out, actually
it might it might work.
Speaker 1: Should we try it? So crazy?
Speaker 3: Just let's get down so fucked.
Speaker 2: Up and then just do the last episode where we
talked about a beer flood and I couldn't finish.
Speaker 1: Was that your drinking episode? Was the beer flood?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called drowning and alcohol For the folks at home.
If you haven't listened to.
Speaker 1: It already, it's Dan so blacked out that I it's
my day. Yeah, magnum Opus is that too? Yeah? Opus
stays the religious order.
Speaker 3: From the yah.
Speaker 1: It is real. I think it is my Opus day though, Okay, yeah,
that's your religious order.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: They did treat him so one thing that a long
hangover here for a long time. Is pickle juice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's electrized.
Speaker 1: Natural, electoralized. I don't know if they're given aim pickle juice.
What He actually regained consciousness for a little bit and
they thought, oh, he's doing better. But then he died
on Sunday because I assume all of his organs were
just like we are dead. Like his kidneys and liver
were just like now you drank literal poison and like
like a lethal amount. Yeah, this is another part of
the story that is especially egregious to me. Is Lord
Mayor of Dublin, Peter Paul mcsweinney.
Speaker 3: Shut up, dude, Peter Paul McSweeney mc potato face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh said the unhappy overdose deaths. And this is
just where I'm like, no, Now, he basically goes, could
have happened anywhere, could have happened sure, but could have
happened to anyone.
Speaker 3: Was this the religious leader guy? Okay?
Speaker 1: He was, like he said, quote any city in which That's.
Speaker 3: The difference between Philly and this place is that in
Philly they're like, stop destroying the city, Like, don't knock
shit over. This doesn't happen anywhere else? Why are we
like this?
Speaker 2: We don't really say that.
Speaker 3: I think they are press conference.
Speaker 1: Close in Philly. They're like, this doesn't happen, happened anywhere else,
And that's fucking sick, because it's awesome that we're the ones.
Speaker 2: That no one likes this. We don't care. We grease
up the polls, you know, we take preventative measures, but
once it gets started, we don't stop it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you go through the motions to make
it seem like you did something, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could have happened anywhere.
Speaker 1: Peter Paul McSwiney was like, could have happened anywhere anywhere
that drinks, this would have happened, which that might be true,
but you did it.
Speaker 3: I think the alcohol I feel like, and you're irish.
I just didn't understand why you had to drink it,
Like why you wouldn't be like, oh, if I can,
I can drink for free for months, if I fill
up my pots and pants and bring them home.
Speaker 1: I'm sure people did that too, But there was such
a frenzy that like it was a party, like people
like free whiskey, not realizing that it was like two
x at least as strong, and it.
Speaker 3: Was like after work, you know, like it wasn't it.
Speaker 1: Was in the evening. Yeah, on the weekend too.
Speaker 2: You're not expecting. It catches you off guard, you know,
you just react, You.
Speaker 3: Just react, Yeah, shoot or shoot drinkers drink and uh yeah.
Speaker 1: That is the story of the Great Dublin Whiskey Flood
of eighteen seventy five, which killed thirteen people.
Speaker 3: And they were all boys.
Speaker 1: From drinking too much, probably all men. Can't say for sure.
Speaker 3: I wonder what the age like, what the spread was like.
It does feel like a young man's mistake.
Speaker 1: In Ireland, we got a fucking dog too, and a
dog killed it and actually a shit ton of horses
and pigs and donkeys.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but they were that's property.
Speaker 1: The dog died from drinking. The pigs and the dog.
Speaker 3: Died by suicide. The dog didn't die from drinking. The
dog died by unliving himself.
Speaker 1: But the horses and pigs were on fire.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then the people they were die, they didn't die,
they were they were grilled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, roasted, char grilled yeah yeah. But the people did
it to themselves, yeah yeah, they drank themselves to death.
Speaker 3: No sympathy, I really don't.
Speaker 1: It's hard.
Speaker 3: It's hard to feel bad for them.
Speaker 1: And again, in the midst of an inferno engulfing their neighborhood,
as animals were burning alive and running down.
Speaker 2: The street, like they said that depoted the Irish are
the only people that cannot be analyzed.
Speaker 1: I think Freud's is they were quoting.
Speaker 2: They quoted Freud, but it's a fake Freud quote where
we were impervious to psychoanalysis.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like that quote and that we There's another quote
too where Matt Damon is like, I'm fucking Irish. I'll
be uh, I'll deal with something being wrong with the
rest of my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think they I don't think any of
these people think they did anything wrong. Yeah, but yeah,
they ran into the streets as a flood was knocking
over houses, as animals were on fire, as fire was
engulfing ran into the fact that basically the gasoline factor
that was on fire, to go drink the gasoline.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure it tasted the same.
Speaker 1: It's actually crazy to me that they didn't tell that
they weren't. Like this is ever clear. Yeah, like this,
have you taken a shot of every.
Speaker 2: Cle it's already the afternoon, and you're probably a little
buzzed because you're drinking all day.
Speaker 3: You had a couple of pints, Yeah, a couple of pints.
Speaker 2: Because the water's not clean oky, So the only.
Speaker 3: Way you can really, you're the only clean.
Speaker 2: Thing you can drink, Yeah, b hydrate is from a
weaker beer.
Speaker 3: Imagine that was how your dad died and your family
sunk into poverty, you and your six siblings and your mom.
Speaker 1: So this guy who I specifically talked about was fairly young,
but his dad had to come like identify him in
the hospital and be like, yeah.
Speaker 3: That's my son, that's my son, Robbie, that's my Robbie'd
like he that's a good sali, not as good as yours,
not as good as your.
Speaker 1: No try, but yeah, thirteen people dead from alcohol poisoning
as cas unfolded around them, it really just sounds like
a spring break in a lot of ways.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's slightly less death.
Speaker 2: Flu slightly then, like they don't do the spring break
like they used to anymore because everybody's getting chased out
of town.
Speaker 3: Well because all of they're all on their phones, like
nobody knows how to fucking act like I was at
a music festival and they're all just talking. I'm like,
there's a concert going on.
Speaker 1: Shut up, what music festival.
Speaker 3: It's like the SIPs and sounds.
Speaker 1: It was the first oh yeah yeah, yea yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Gen Z doesn't know how to like party. They just
like are on their phones and talking.
Speaker 1: I wonder if I'm like an old person sounding like
that or if it's actually true now, because I feel
like it's true.
Speaker 3: It is true and they're awkward, like Okay, there was
a group of girls. They asked us to take a picture.
We're taking a picture and like I don't know growing
up in like Instagram during college and stuff like you
know how to take a group picture. And I was like,
these girls are not going to like this picture. And
so I was like coaching that, but I was like,
loosen your arm, like stop being we like, they don't
even know how to do all the normal things that
we now.
Speaker 2: I do have a question though, say you go to
a jam band, are you allowed to have conversations? Do
it because it's just background knowing you have to whisper.
Speaker 3: The problem is when they're talking over like get the lyrics.
Speaker 1: They're not there for the show they're they're to say.
Speaker 2: There and drugs, But like you go to a dead
concert or you go to a Goose concert, you're not
allowed to talk.
Speaker 3: It's not that you're not allowed to talk, but like
you can't be the same song for four hours. I
think it's different because it's like at a jam band,
people aren't as drunk as they are like.
Speaker 2: High, but they're high and they want to feel the people.
Yet I feel like I'm kind of stone.
Speaker 1: People talking to the don't even want to talk.
Speaker 2: The vibrations.
Speaker 3: It's the thing. I think, there's just a less desire
for conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you might ruin they're high, bitch, don't come on?
Ye fair enough, But that's all I got for today, Gabby,
thanks for joining.
Speaker 1: What did you guys learn?
Speaker 2: I learned that again these alcohol tidle waves would just
hit towns in like the eighteen nineteen hundreds quite often.
Speaker 1: It feels like like every.
Speaker 3: Other Ye, what's really behind this? Like I feel like,
is it a is it an architectural like engineering problem?
Speaker 2: Is it a competition thing?
Speaker 1: Because all of them were started by fires?
Speaker 2: Right, not all of them? Now, A lot of them
were poor containers.
Speaker 1: Oh no, the molasses was poor containers was I think
the beer was a fire also, wasn't.
Speaker 2: It Hmm, I don't think so. I think it was
again a storage issue.
Speaker 1: Well this one was fire.
Speaker 2: And to be fair, the upkeep too. It's just people
being cheap, cheap. The Gilded Age, there was a lot
of cheap magnets.
Speaker 1: Oh. Actually, my favorite story from the Gilded Age. Did
you do this episode the sinking of that Fairy?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Where the I think I did that on the Patreon.
Speaker 1: Okay, there is this ferry that sank what in New
York and the this is just like pre basically like
any regulations or people checking things, and they had these
life jackets on the thing and they like weren't working
right or didn't look like they were full, so they
they stuffed shit in them. No because hey floats, they
stuffed shit in them to make it look like it
was full. But they were like heavy. So people put
life jackets on their children and threw them into the
water for they were being safe, and they sank the
fucking bottom. Yep.
Speaker 2: So if you want to get back to unregulated tycoons parenting, yeah,
the advise against While I while I do generally agree
that the.
Speaker 1: Market should decide things. The great flaw in that is
that the market decides things after things have happened. Yeah,
so it's like we're not doing that again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. It's kindsight.
Speaker 2: Because once the trust and the monopolies run everyone out
of town, all the small businesses, they don't really follow
rules at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: There, it's gonna cut it. You're gonna cut every corner.
Speaker 1: Gabby, what you learned today?
Speaker 3: I learned that dogs can commit suicide. Yeah, and that
is the only dog that didn't go to heaven.
Speaker 1: He technically didn't. God tell that dog to hell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like there's probably no other dogs down there,
but the other dogs have killed themselves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what if he was really sory, really sawy saw?
Speaker 1: Did he get last right? Says he's falling out the windows.
Speaker 3: That's the thing I think it's. I think the suicide
outweighs the wheelie Sawey.
Speaker 2: If you're really sorry, but you've commit suicide.
Speaker 1: Because you say you're really sorry, but then you kill yourself,
that's a sin on your blank slate. Yeah, so you
don't if your last act is that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of now the way the loophole on
that is you take all the pills and then you do.
Speaker 3: Your last Yes, yes, as you're foaming at the mount, yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you use that Yeah. But God, so you
can't blow your brains out because that's the last act.
Speaker 2: He might be doc you though, for not trying to.
Speaker 3: Say I really am sorry, but I'm also not willing.
Speaker 1: It's too late now.
Speaker 2: As long as you make an effort to to get
to the hospital with the pills, maybe you just walk.
Speaker 3: You start walking.
Speaker 1: I mean, God knows you were going through the motions. Yeah,
he understands. Uh. Who's today's hitler?
Speaker 2: How did the fire start?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Just shitty security guard smoking, probably.
Speaker 1: Just like all right, I've done smoke my cigar. I'll
throw it whoever I want because it's eighteen seventy five
and literally nothing fucking matters.
Speaker 3: Is there a hitler today?
Speaker 1: I think it's the thirteen people who drank.
Speaker 3: Themselves to death, but like they are their own hitler,
you know, like they inflicted.
Speaker 2: We don't victim blame here.
Speaker 1: We'll take them blame all the time here for stuff,
but uh, not with.
Speaker 2: Our own people.
Speaker 3: I think hitler is whoever didn't water this whiskey down
before packaging it up?
Speaker 1: You always spray the bear.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the dog owner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the dog unner just let him because you know
that dog roam around was used to drinking. That dog
like that dog wasn't taking all that. Yeah, that was
not his first tip of alcohol. So don't give your
dog's alcohol.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was always weird. No, No, I don't think
that's college people would always give that.
Speaker 3: When people do that, No, it's.
Speaker 1: Not funny or like a thing in high school. I
didn't really see this in college, rege, But in high
school people like, yeah, you can get your dog if
you blow weed.
Speaker 3: In their years, I hate that they don't have fun.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do that to Chase Motley.
Speaker 3: No, no booze, that's the hitler.
Speaker 2: My dog's straight edge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my dog too. My dog's judgmental.
Speaker 1: My dogs would go insane if they Although I think.
Speaker 2: Your dog is from the commercials where you're kind of
melted into the couch and he's just like, I don't
like how you are anymore.
Speaker 3: Like they judge. They have that little judge you look.
Speaker 1: I should say real quick that I think I might
have gotten one of my dogs addicted to nicotine. Why
so I throw some of these. I pounces in the
bathroom trash and Leo like the ba after your rifle
through the bathroom trash sometimes, and it used to be
that the trash was just like picked at and he
was just looking. But lately the messes have been frantic,
as if he's By the way, my wife doesn't know
that either, Just like the story I told you off
air that I won't even allude to beyond that. It's
not like horrible, like cheating or anything like that, but
I won't allude to it beyond that. And uh, also, I.
Speaker 2: Already forget it. You're gonna have to remind me or
you didn't tell me.
Speaker 1: She didn't. She just still doesn't realize that I she's
been completely unaware.
Speaker 2: So never know.
Speaker 3: Maybe she knows, she just doesn't care.
Speaker 1: I think she would be annoyed.
Speaker 2: It's been kind of a crazy uptick with how many
people do nicotine boujas.
Speaker 1: Everyone does, she Adrian Brodie took one out on his
web to give a speed.
Speaker 2: I was at the pitching put today pouch and everyone
there was popping a lip in n Yeah, it's crazy,
I guess.
Speaker 3: And dogs shouldn't drink and dogs shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Do zin No, I don't want my dog.
Speaker 2: But the nicotine pouches almost seem kind of like a
bitch move, Like this is ship we would do in
uh high school or even middle school that we get
made fun of for like pouches, pouches.
Speaker 1: It's different different times.
Speaker 2: And now we're a grown man.
Speaker 3: We're all soft. We're soft generation, soft.
Speaker 1: Hands, and we do soft hands work, so we do
and this is soft.
Speaker 2: Someone the other day said they agree with us, but
that we work bitch ass jobs.
Speaker 1: We do work bitches jobs and like objectively bitch ass jobs.
There's not having an insult. You're just like telling you're
like wrap your hair is brown?
Speaker 2: Okay, And again we we don't tell people were podcasters.
It's embarrassing.
Speaker 3: That is embarrassing, but it's okay.
Speaker 1: Told them I'm unemployed. Yeah, and for all intents and purposes.
Speaker 2: And I mean it's very believable with my current look. Yeah,
