Top of the mornin' to ya! ☘️ 🌈 In this week's Irish episode, the girls talk about their past shenanigans such as seeing The Fredd's reunion gig, Emo Karaoke Night, brunch at 3 Monkeys, and The VA Wine Expo. Enjoy an off-site recording they drunkenly took for you lads and lassies at the wine event where they talk about their favorite vendors (such as King Family Vineyards and Waterman Spirits). Also enjoy Lee being a "Little Horse." 🐴
Following the recap, the pod-mates go into some interesting Richmond Irish History. Ever heard of the "roly-poly" Irishman; John Francis O’Grady? Tune in to hear more about this silly, progressive, hardworking Richmonder from the early 1900s who brought the city its first St. Paddy's Day Parade that involved skunks. Liz shares about the "incomprehensibly grueling" labor the Irish and other slaves endured building the Richmond canal. Then the girls dive into some surprising facts about Ireland. Did you know Halloween is Irish? And that "turnip lanterns" are a thing? Liz tests Olivia and Lee's Irish History knowledge with a riveting game of trivia.
Other topics include leprechaun visits, Guinness and Irish Car Bombs, "drowning the shamrock," the sexiest accent in the world, acquiring a completely new accent after surgery, Braveheart, Air Supply, and everyone's favorite segment: GUESS LEE'S NAME! (But Irish themed).
