For those who can't understand these lads, from what I understood, in short, these two Irish scientists have just developed a metallurgical process for compacting and rolling silver.
Paul (with the dark hair) is a qualified physiotherapist and now studying Medicine. Gary with the red hair has a degree (hons) in marketing. Paul just won Olympic gold for Ireland and is a multiple world champion rower. Neither of the two have been beaten in five years.czcams.com/video/816-FjL_Gks/video.html
Sneer all you like…two question for you….how many medals have you won at the Olympics…or at any championship?….second question…..you really need to have a look at what careers these lads have???
So the Irish are like New Jerseyians? We speak with the smallest amount of mouth movement possible, like we're ventriloquist Mobsters. For example....."Didjueatyet?" means "Did you eat yet?". Or "Wudder" means "Water", or how most people would say "Wah-ter". Screw that. I can say several sentences while barely moving my lips. Our whole vocabulary is based off the smallest amount of mouth movement possible. It's a combination Philly/South Jersey thing.
A lot of Jamaicans were taught English by Irish people who were sent over as slaves by the English qlot of Jamaican words orginate from the Irish language for example like the Irish word for jumper is geansaí
I believe they were indentured servants rather than slaves. The difference being that they were able to work for their freedom. They were nicknamed red legs
@@leoochofaigh6714 Utter nonsense -the Irish in the Caribbean were indentured servants, merchants and slaveowners, but not chattel slaves. Look up the Irish Slaves Myth and educate yourself.
I think the interview Graham referred to was the pre-race one the day before: v=G8LeDANQ7UE that one mentions the "game plan" of going as fast as they can.
Did that a couple of times after running the mile, having already run the half mile. Also when doubling up basketball practice with the local college team.
I used to work for a Durham based company, when I had to stay up there it amused me that the young French barmaid in the local was there to Improve her English.
@@christdiedforoursins8985 its funny how different dialects and accents of the same language can be. Between the US, UK, Australia, Canada, where the majority of people speak English, it’s so different in each place! And then to factor in all of the other places all over the world where people learn to speak English, it varies so much.
My head nearly exploded when I first heard your accent! 10% Canadian and 90% Scottish/Irish mix although many words are an Irish/Scottish mix is the same unbelievable sentence...
1 second ago And when they won gold in the next Olympics, they were interviewed and asked ‘Gold medalists, Olympic champions how does that feel? They replied ‘ it’s alright really suppose we can’t complain’ ’. And your hometown are going wild ‘ ‘we heard there is a great party going on, shame we are missing it’.
It's hard to understand these guys _as_ a native English speaker. The problem is that they don't enunciate their words; it's like they're drunk or their tongues are exhausted. Still, I could figure most of what they were saying. I think you just need more exposure with English and Irish accents. Language is not a neat box of rules, pronunciations, and words, it's more like a spectrum of intelligibility. Every English speaker has a certain place in that spectrum (the accent or dialect they grew up on/learned) and a width to that spectrum which is widened by experience.
@@ElectricChaplain I’m Irish (Dublin) and I can understand them perfectly. Being a native Irish does help but like yourself being able to understand English at a native level would also help. It is a very strong accent.
Haha its not for you to worry. I'm irish and while travelling I have to change my accent a lot for people. The way I see it, you guys are speaking English for me so it's the least I can do to try make my English as coherent as possible
Yeah I’m from london and understand every word, but I could hear some harsh midwest or like Boston accents and barely be able to understand some of it. We’re just a lot more familiar with it
@@ElectricChaplain they’d just rowed an Olympic race & are getting interviewed almost immediately after it. 1of them had to walk off to catch his breath. The Cork accent is hard to understand if you’re not Irish ☘️
Maybe it's because I am a not-native English speaker used to listen carefully in order to learn a language that I can understand these guys perfectly. It's acutally a good thereapy to cure the mobile device-use induced ADHS so many suffer from.
If Aidan O'Brien had been their trainer they would have won.Well done lads you come across as two genuine top blokes and Ireland's first Olympic rowing medalYou should be very proud of yourselves.
Lovely accent! Just casually turning away to puke a bit and then back at it with huge grin on his face. Did not understand half of it so turned on youtube auto texting, almost had a stroke trying to read…😂
The auto-subtitles don't know how to process the heavy irish accents. They can't even get Skibbereen right. Paul went back to the olympics this year (2024) and got gold.

That was the only funny part 😂
Odd title for the video
"everyone out there with a pair of arms and a pair of legs should give it a go' 😂
Para-Olympians: 😑
Listen the first sentence he said his mouth didn’t even move and I was busy trying to figure out which of them was even talking

Came here after the Graham Norton show.

Me too
Well you miles behind
Lmao your lad just non-chalantly walking off to be sick halfway through.
I was going to say the same thing. I have only trained that hard once. It reminds me of Zidane.
Did that a couple of times after running the mile, having already run the half mile. Also when doubling up basketball practice with the local college team.
Typical of most Irish people, full of humour, humility and down-to-earthiness..... a breath of fresh air in an increasingly troubled world.
Irish "people" are now mixed with immigrants from Africa and the Middle East. It's sad to see the pure Irish are now diminishing.
They are so amiable
Yes, this is exactly why it’s so easy to love everything about the Irish and the other reason is that they are naturally damn funny...
@@dominiclester3232 Yeah, the terrorism, sectarianism, pedophile priests, brutal nuns. What's not to like?
After all these years, this still makes me laugh and brings me absolute joy.
This pair is absolutely awesome
I am from the United Kingdom and I was cheering you to the finish line. Well done lads you made Ireland proud you deserved your silver medal.
Imagine working hard for years learning English with Duolingo, and then you run into people like this...
Lmao

Sure, so long as ye can pull like a dog sure ye'll be grand.

Why? It's a phrase that means " Our day will come " meaning they'll win gold someday! Don't make it out to be bad!
