This was so fun to watch! Seeing your joy and excitement about your trip just made my day, thanks so much for bringing us along. And whenever I’m feeling sad, I’ll imagine Joel running through fields hugging sheep. 😂

@SupposedlyFun 25 дней назад

He got so excited every time he saw them! Most people were over the moon about the highland cows. I'm glad you enjoyed this!

Thanks for sharing stories from your trip. My grandmother's grandmother, Mary Hoey, was born in Armagh; I've never heard anyone mention Armagh before. 😊 Famous for St Patrick founding his main church there and the Armagh train disaster in June 1889.

You guys had a wonderful vacation! So glad you enjoyed all the beauties and food of my favorite places. There is a neat channel on RU-vid called "Living the Skye Life". They have two water spaniels who have what most dogs would consider the ideal life. You are one channel I try never to miss. So glad you are back and happy about your many adventures. I also really like when Joel joins in. You are great together. If I ever saw you, I would probably be "fan girl" excited. So, look out if you see a white-haired old lady in Helena.

@janethansen9612 25 дней назад

I do wonder if the tourism boom is more damaging than good, but for smaller countries like Ireland I guess it is a big part of their economy. Glad you had such a great time!

@SupposedlyFun 24 дня назад

I have the same concern, which is a bit odd since I was literally just there as a tourist. 😬

Loved hearing about your trip and I've enjoyed seeing the beautiful photos and videos on Instagram. As a knitter I'm looking forward to seeing the sweaters! 😊 I've been having trouble concentrating enough to read lately so 5th of June and I haven't even started my Pride month reading yet. 🙁I've purchased a copy of the graphic memoir by Maurice Vellekoop that you mentioned. Hopefully that will get my reading mojo back.

@SupposedlyFun 24 дня назад

I hope the Vellekoop helps you get reading back on track! If nothing else, it should read quickly--it did for me. The sweater package should be arriving this week, so we'll see!

Can’t wait for you guys to read the guncle abroad. I always love picking up Christmas ornaments from my travels. It’s a great annual reminder of a special vacation. Teddy continues to be the star of this channel. I think he needs an agent. 🤩

@SupposedlyFun 25 дней назад

Teddy has natural charisma for sure. And ornaments really are the best souvenirs! It makes decorating the tree so much fun. Joel finished The Guncle Abroad this morning and teased that he doesn't really want to say anything until I finish.

Fab travelogue, fellas! I was happy to visit Ireland and Scotland vicariously through you. Thanks to Greg, I kicked off Pride Month with the graphic novels, “My Brother's Husband, Volumes 1 and 2” by Gengoroh Tagame. Joel, if you’re reading this, how about taking us into the kitchen while you prepare something from the Guinness book? 🍺

I feel called out by what you said about italians 😂 honestly I see so many tourists everywhere and everyday, I can’t be bothered to interact with them and, to be completely honest, over-tourism is tiring and overwhelming. I reached the point where I pretend I don’t understand English when they ask me for directions, I’m a terrible person 🙃

@audreym859 25 дней назад

I'm so glad you guys had a good time in Ireland and are safe. I'm French, but have been living in Dublin for the last 9 years. I've come to absolutely hate this city and was afraid you'd have a bad experience with the junkies, dirty streets, and terrible food. I'm glad you still managed to have a good time.

@SupposedlyFun 25 дней назад

We definitely saw bits and pieces of that side of Dublin, but I think every city has highs and lows. But it's also easier to overlook the negative (or not see them at all) when you're only visiting. Very different to live with it, I'm sure!

@ag4444 25 дней назад

I'm glad that you had such a great trip. I think you misunderstood how the Italians think. I think the exact opposite of how you see it is the case unless I misunderstood your view (sorry if that is the case). US Americans take genetics very seriously as can be seen by you knowing the percentages of where you are from. But whether you're telling them that you are 30, 40, 50 or 80% Italian is really not relevant. It's just a number, it's not about genetics at all, lived experiences are more important. And if you don't speak Italian (I don't know if you can, just saying in general) then you are obviously out in general. Someone with 0% Italian blood that was born and grew up in Italy and can speak Italian can be seen as more Italian than a US American with Italian heritage. So the Italians you met didn't think "50% is not enough", they simply didn't see you as Italian at all. You could have said 25, 80 or 90%, it wouldn't have changed a thing. Literally both of your parents could be Italian, but if you grew up in the US you're a US American, especially if you don't speak Italian. The percentage of your heritage is really not relevant to them. That does not mean that anybody who grew up in Italy is seen as Italian, this is not utopia after all, of course there is also racism involved, so for some people who have never been outside of Italy it can still be difficult to be accepted depending on their ethnical background, but they will still have a bigger shot at being seen as Italian than people who have not lived there no matter what their bloodline says. I think the Irish actually agree that the percentage does not matter, but their reaction is just completely different, because the Irish are just super friendly and excited that you chose to visit Ireland and that you are proud of that heritage. Good for you, I'm glad you got what you wanted out of it. I think the differences between Italy and Ireland are also based on history, language and the relationship between both countries towards the US in general. Half of the population of Argentina has Italian roots. Now I wonder if their experience would be different if they visited Italy (not sure what language they would try to speak). This is actually a very interesting topic.

@SupposedlyFun 25 дней назад

The difference I was talking about (strictly based on the tourist experience) was that Italian people don't really want to engage with tourists beyond completing a transaction whereas the Irish were ready to talk and get to know you. And the Irish people we met almost uniformly asked if we had heritage from the area, while the Italians we met only discussed it if I brought it up, and then didn't seem very impressed. What I said was mostly based on the experience that the Irish people we met were outwardly curious about our ties to the country and the Italian people weren't. It's not a bad thing or a negative about Italians (as a native New Yorker, I relate to not directly engaging with strangers).
