[@JetReich-x7w]

Ari, the whole world isn't watching this and for those who are, hearing about specific really cool spots, like a modern travel book, isn't going to totally blow up or ruin whatever spot it is. When you do that like dont say specifically where it is you want to make people find their own spots its so pretentious and cringy like "everyone needs to find their own way" foo foo crap. If the viewers could hear about the cool specific places that people go it would actually encourage them to plan trips thinking they know what they're going to get into then most of the time they won't actually go to that spot and end up finding their own stuff anyway.

Love hearing about Greg experiencing Ireland a year before i was born. One thing though, when he said Ireland doesn't have things like the Pyramids of Giza, we actually have older structures than the pyramids and Stonehenge like New Grange that was built in 3200bc.

[@DNortRyan]

The Pyramids are way older than that.

[@GhastlyCretin]

@@DNortRyan No. New Grange is 600 years older than the pyramids of Giza and 1000 years older than Stonehenge. This information is widely accepted and available for you to look up.

[@DNortRyan]

@@GhastlyCretin No, they have only dated the Pyramids based on organic matter found between the stones. Egypt is an ancient culture, far older than Ireland, the oldest settlement in Ireland is before Mount Sandel, about 12,800 years ago, pre ice age, two of them, one in Waterford, the other in Clare. At the very least, nobody knows how old the Pyramids are, they just tell you this jargon at Newgrange to make it sound more interesting -- they're tour guides, they're not experts on Egypt, nor am i, but i wouldn't just believe what they say. There are a number of people now who doubt the age of the Pyramids. For instance, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey goes back to over 11,600 years. We know nothing.

Super stoked for this. I went to Ireland for a week in 2004 for my Dads Birthday, to visit all his cousins. Even though I was only 10 I have nothing but fond memories, one of which was crushing a pint of Guinness at a pub AS A TEN YEAR OLD that insantly solidified it as the coolest country on earth. The cliffs, the castles, the gypsies, the coolass street kids i met who told me St Patrick fucked up bc they were REALLY scared of snakes, and the music everywhere will live with me forever. I WILL return.

Travel Tip: find the hobby group in whatever city you are visiting. Stand up? Find an open mic. Darts, billiards, foosball? Find the local tournament. Running? Find the local run club. Here you will find the true locals, and not the honeymoon couple from Dayton on the free walking tour.

[@youbetrippinpod]

Not bad!

[@variaxi935]

what if I have no hobbies and don't like anything enough to engage in it I want to want to do things (not a redundancy), but I just don't actually enjoy anything and so I merely watch videos to distract myself until the next day

Well done Greg for having the right amount of balls and wanderlust to undertake such a venture, bravo sir! I’m sure when Greg looks back this trip makes up some of his finest memories. Shoutout to the Danny Brown episode as well, you’ve got to get Danny back on to give his take on the other Monster Munch flavors 😅

[@caivsivlivs]

Guinness cans contain a small, white plastic ball called a widget that's filled with pressurized nitrogen. When the can is opened, the widget releases the nitrogen into the beer, creating a surge of bubbles and a creamy head that's similar to what you'd get at a pub. The widget also agitates the beer, which causes a chain reaction of bubble formation throughout the beer. When poured, the result is a mixture of very small gas bubbles and liquid that gradually settles into a creamy head.

[@GiT5UM]

Dont forget about not drinking it from the can😂.

[@csg420x]

Gross

[@shiteguides]

In 1994, the widget in the Guinness can won invention of the year, beating the internet.

[@SweeneyBalls41]

@@GiT5UM I disagree! It depends on the can, but in Ireland the cans are super high quality and it's actually a pretty enjoyable experience. The widget is a better invention than the internet.

[@GiT5UM]

@@SweeneyBalls41 Im a Guinness drinker and the cans of widgeted cans are designed to be thrown into a pint glass(568ml) in one go, this glass allows the head to expand and settle for a smooth pint. But thats only a serving suggestion, if the individual chooses to drink it from the can...off they go. Slainte mo cara.

The correct (only) way to drink a can of Guinness is by pouring into a large glass. Crack the can and tilt the glass at 45 degrees, keep the can close to the glass and pour the whole can in one go at a smooth steady pace (not slowly). Let it settle for a few minutes and that's it.

Should I journal on my trips or is making videos good enough? I like how he talks about the journals.
