“I think it’s 11 o’clock tomorrow isn’t it? The final?” “Couldn’t tell you to be honest.” 😂😂😂😂 That’s alright lads, it’s only an Olympic final’ It’s honestly as if they’re on an all inclusive resort holiday and they’re talking about the final of the shuttle board competition and I love it
They are two small town guys and it’s like they’ve been put up on an all expenses paid vacation. It’s very sweet, I just love how thrilled they are just to be there.
Lily Whelan it doesn’t quite sound like rap, but there is a sing song nature to the inflection of their accent. I get what you mean about Eminem though.
No idea what he is talking about here. I’m a bit too American for this so could you please explain a little more. By the way this is one of the best things I’ve ever watched
@@markfitz1974 ah you meant the spelling off paddy, I thought you meant putting in the St. in a America's defense our pronounciation off DD and TT are the same. Ladder and letter sound the same
@@EmVeeBeen it was Paul and Fintan Mc Carthy. Fintan's brother didn't qualify either. Yes it is sad but they might not have won if Gary and Paul were a team. Gary went along as a back up in case he was needed. .
@@marymurphy937 out of curiosity, how did one not qualify but one did if it’s a team thing (not team like basketball or soccer team like two people to do the sport) Do you have to qualify as an individual first
@@foxja1 Each individual can be assessed comparatively against others by swapping about between partners. P O'D was clearly the fastest, and so it was merely finding the most productive partner. A very challenging task. Gary understood the nature of that task. If he was to be the "assumed" partner of Paul, then in all likelihood, they would at best have got Silver, and maybe have been fighting for Bronze with the Italians. All rowers know this score, hard though it can be. Gary has been very sound about being on the wrong side of this decision. He looks far "sweeter" partnering Paul, but Finton gives Ireland a chance to get the Gold medal. For the record books, it is not relevant who did it, but as long as some combination including at least one O'Donovan does it, the world is momentarily a better place. (For the interviews! :) )
I love the way they're themselves and don't try to sound all posh and proper and say the usual cliche stuff in front of the camera. A pair of genuine, nice lads giving on honest interview :) proud to be Irish
@@whoneedsposers You probably have one of those fake English sounding RTÉ accents (except rhotic and with soft t's). Or one of the semi-American accents everybody has these days. Idiot.
From the thumbnail I thought they were just some Irish tourists 😂 and when they started talking it still took me a while to get that they were athletes, they're so chill and relaxed. Like they were on holiday 😅
They are on holiday! Take an Irish man anywhere sunny no matter the reason they are their , its a fucking holiday! We get all four seasons in the wan day here in Ireland.
They were invited to row at the Head of the Charles. All they had to do was say yes, they said. One of the top teams in the world and they were absolutely chill.
Paul i.e the dark haired fellow, won gold in Tokyo 2021. His other brother didn't qualify to accompany him. Both are very humble , down to earth lads . His mother said if Paul was any more laid back he would be dead. They are exactly as you see them.above. They make me proud to be Irish.
@@3storiesUp The Irish (and most Europeans) love to laugh about themselves. I guess most Americans will never understand that. I quoted Ireland's biggest newspaper, the "Irish Times". So you should call THEM "a-holes"...
@@MarcF.Nielssen Don't mind the sour fools that can't have a laugh. I'm 100% Irish and that was 100% funny. They are probably the same fools that think craic goes in a pipe.
How is Saoirse a plastic paddy? She was born in the US but she only lived there for three years with her IRISH parents. I think her father was born in the UK but again to Irish parents who moved back. I can’t understand people making out that she isn’t genuinely Irish. It’s almost spiteful. I know lots of fully Irish people who were born elsewhere because their parents had to emigrate for a while for economic reasons. They are all Irish through and through. And if it’s about her accent, I can’t see anything wrong with that either.
You'd know these boys are from Cork....think of Cillian Murphy, or Roy Keane....they downplay everything and don't accept compliments well. You couldn't be seen to be having notions about yourself if you're a Corkonian. I love it.
a good feed of Brazilian steak and spuds and these boys were fit to bull cows. fair play to them all the same for winning the auld medal. They're gas bucks
Wtf RU-vid algorithm??? What in my search history made you decide this was what I want to watch? I'm German and the most Irish RU-vid I've watched is jacksepticeye o.O I mean, I'm not complaining, love the accent, but I have no clue what they're saying!
there were a huge amount of irish bond servants (borderline slaves but not quite) shipped off to the caribbean in the 1600s so perhaps that still influences the jamaican accent today
Yeah i believe Jamaica was 2/3 Irish for a long time after the Spanish exterminated the locals forever... and some Scots which is why even today Jamaicans will call a hat a Tammy etc. I heard most of the Irish lads were taken from Cork so if you do an exaggerated Cork accent and slip into Rasta.. you'll be surprised
Greetings from Washington, D.C. I find accents and dialectics are so fascinating! One can be speaking the SAME language but, be difficult to understand! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. 😊
@@bkl43 Cork, Kerry, Waterford. Hundreds of thousands of irish were sent to the west indies in the 17th century with west Africans arriving thereafter. The sing song melodious accent is very reminiscent of the Jamacian accent, although latter spoken with a slower pace.
@@juicygossipworld4024 The accent of Patois comes from Ireland, while the words are a mix of Twi, and various other Ghanaian and Gold Coast slang. It is the Irish who taught the Africans in Jamaica how to speak English. Dont even have to take my word for it just look at the person's last name you are replying to and my last name is O'Sullivan
Congratulations, O'Donovan brothers! All around the world Irish people and ALL people are so proud of what you have accomplished for Ireland and for your town of Skibbereen!
Reporter: “How has your life changed in few hours since you won your medal? “ Rowing Brother: “ I dont know yet- i have been sitting in a room trying to pee into a jar like”
I'm here from a reference on an article.about how Jamaicans gained Irish surnames. As a Canadian born to two Jamaican born parents it's wierd and funny how fluent they sound to me. I guess being used to Jamaican accent helps. I hear the similarity but I always thought parts of britiain has some similiar sounding accents to Jamaicans. Were all one human race ppl. Your geography of your birth place means more then your skin tone. Thank about that. Two Koreans can have a baby born in Cuba and and and a thick Cuban accent depending on sheltered he/she is or isn't.
Thousands of rish were sent as slaves to the West Indies. That's where the similar accents comes from. I've heard Jamaican accents that I swore were from Cork.
Great lads. Taking the piss out of the po faced sports interview we all know and yawn over. "What does it mean to you"? How do you feel" etc. BS questions with formulaic answers. These lads know its only pulling a boat through water take the piss and they are great.
"Shteak and Spuds for breakfast, dinner and supper"....none of your auld pashta for the boys from The West Cork Flying Column...Coming from Wesht Clare, Ireland I can undershtand every word ...their use of the Bearla (English) is to be admired....Up The Rebels..
You can never take the Rebel out of a Corkman. Up the lads sometimes im just dead proud to be Irish and things like this with proper Irishmen make me love Ireland and the way we are even more. They are the definiton of an Irishman
The Irish Coach: "Listen lads, here's our strategy: row as fast as you can from A to B!" (points intensely at the chart of rowing location) The Irish team: "Sounds like a plan! We should show up there tomorrow, close our eyes and row like a dog! If only we know what time the race starts..." 😂
@@bcent5758 I know Gary and Paul O'Donovan are Irish, therefore the Olympic Silver medal in rowing FOR IRELAND. Thanks for making sure I understand the difference. My point remains: being from the USA, MY access to accents (INCLUDING Irish accents) has been through British television and film. Probably some Irish productions too, but those do not readily come to mind.
@@adammacdomhnail2014 Irish people and Irish accents show up in British television and film AND living on the west coast of the United States I have ACCESS to British shows. For example, Derry Girls is a British television show. I trust those are authentic Irish accents in Derry Girls?
When people say British (UK) accent it makes me dead cuz we dont even understand each other we got such diverse accents for such a small island (not trynna offend any more paitrical people also this might not be northern Ireland so my lil sentence dont make sense no more lmao oh well)
This is a Cork accent (specifically Skibbereen). Cork is a county in the Republic of Ireland which is an independent country. Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom. The UK is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. When Ireland achieved independence they did so only for 26 counties, the English kept a hold of the North. Great Britain refers to England, Wales and Scotland. The full name of the UK is “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. It can be confusing. 👍😅😂
Every time O’Donovan wins a medal or even competes, I come back to this video! This lad is a living legend and super intelligent. I kinda feel sad that he lost his smile in the more recent interviews, him and his brother bounced off each other’s quips and made each other laugh. Or maybe he got fed up of the media perceiving him as a clown (‘Gwan, say the funny phrase Paul!’). Comhghairdeas Paul, tá níos mó tuillte agat 🇮🇪
