Episode: 213: Ireland and St. Patrick's Day. A brief history, plus some fun Irish facts and humor
Description: The boys drink and review O'Hara's Irish Stout, then celebrate March 17th.
They do a quick review of Irish history, starting back in pre-history, through St. Patrick, the Vikings, Brian Boru and the English occupation, and up to modern times. They ask why is Ireland divided north and south, and wonder about the demise of the IRA.
They also discuss the two spellings of whiskey, the potato famine, St. Patrick Day customs, Irish beer, and how much Irish blood Pigweed and Crowhill have in them.
