00:01:02.360 You mean taxi?
00:01:04.000 Okay, then you want to look around.
00:01:05.300 This is the 77

00:01:11.580 everybody is going to have
00:01:13.700 a fun St. Paddy's Day.
00:01:15.740 Hope you got plans.
00:01:17.940 The New York audience just heard
00:01:19.600 a little break on that.
00:01:21.340 It's a little privilege New Yorkers have
00:01:23.120 On this show, they hear a little thing I do at the top of each hour.
00:01:27.760 Shh, keep it quiet, though.
00:01:30.560 St. Paddy's Day.
00:01:31.760 Yeah, I hope that sticks around for a while.
00:01:38.120 The Columbus Day thing, you know, over the course of the years,
00:01:42.240 old Chris Columbus has been taking a big beating.
00:01:45.200 Big beating.
00:01:46.760 And it's just, I don't know, everyone loves St. Paddy's Day.
00:01:51.000 It's a fun holiday.
00:01:52.900 Columbus Day isn't a fun holiday.
00:01:54.800 It's a day off. 1.00
00:01:55.600 It's like President's Day for Italians.
00:01:58.320 But St. Paddy's Day has always been so fun.
00:02:01.700 Go out.
00:02:03.280 New York especially.
00:02:04.560 Oh, I remember playing Vomit Hopscotch.
00:02:07.960 Going from bar to bar trying to avoid where the lightweights, the rookies,
00:02:13.660 have left their mark.
00:02:15.100 A few too many Guinnesses, car bombs, whatever it is.
00:02:19.900 Yeah, I want that to continue.
00:02:22.100 But, you know, some would have it disassembled, done away with, put away.
00:02:32.580 We don't like this. 1.00
00:02:34.520 It's too European. 1.00
00:02:36.940 It's too Irish. 1.00
00:02:38.320 It's too white. 1.00
00:02:39.240 It's too this and that.
00:02:42.260 So Tuesday, it's always tough.
00:02:47.040 It's always tough, those weekdays, especially a Tuesday.
00:02:51.400 You get Monday out of the way, you go to work, Monday always sucks.
00:02:56.580 And then Tuesday, you're like, it's St. Paddy's Day.
00:03:00.140 A Wednesday hangover is just abysmal.
00:03:04.100 And St. Paddy's Day is a daytime thing.
00:03:08.260 It's not really a nighttime holiday.
00:03:12.820 And there's so much drinking involved that by 7 p.m., you are snotted.
00:03:19.400 You are just done.
00:03:21.400 i think you start feeling a hangover around 10 p.m and hopefully you know you you drop a couple
00:03:29.480 of excedrin and pass out uh and wake up uh feeling a little better but it's such a weird
00:03:36.360 drinking holiday because you know new year's eve obviously it's nighttime
00:03:41.240 if you're if you're drinking at noon on new year's eve you got some issues
00:03:48.000 But drinking at noon on St. Paddy's Day, that's a late start.
00:03:52.400 That's a late start.
00:03:55.020 Back in the old radio days, the Opie and Anthony days,
00:03:59.900 they used to send us on remotes up in Boston when we were with AAF
00:04:05.560 and in New York with WNEW.
00:04:09.100 They'd send us to a bar, and it would just be, hey, you know,
00:04:13.260 do a live appearance.
00:04:14.260 You do station breaks.
00:04:17.260 You know, hey, we're here at Hogs and Heifers and old school, old school radio.
00:04:24.240 And the amount of people that would be there.
00:04:29.960 And we started our show at 3 p.m.
00:04:32.560 And they were already hammered at 3 p.m.
00:04:36.580 So St. Paddy's Day, it's a weird drinking holiday.
00:04:42.140 It's primarily a drinking holiday, but it's one of the more strange ones for for how early you start.
00:04:49.560 Yeah. And I hope the parade, you know, I hear Sid's going to be at the parade and then Danny's going to be in the parade.
00:05:00.700 what a what an abomination that is i mean for god's sake a guy that wants to tear down western 0.99
00:05:10.140 culture and traditions and he's the one that's going to be marching and the nypd is a huge part
00:05:17.540 the emerald society a huge part of uh saint patty's day they have their bagpipes uh and drums
00:05:24.940 every time in new york it was so cool to be in a bar and then you'd hear kind of a little commotion
00:05:32.220 and uh there they were you know drums and uh fifes and bagpipes and uh very loud in the bar
00:05:42.920 but you didn't care you've been drinking since 9 a.m who would care but uh that's always cool
00:05:50.360 I if they're okay next time I get asked what I miss about being in New York City proper
00:05:59.100 I always say like my family I miss being up and seeing my family and friends on a regular basis
00:06:05.380 but St. Paddy's Day too I always had fun on St. Paddy's Day in New York City it's crazy
00:06:12.120 but a lot of fun when you travel well your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket
00:06:18.480 takes you to more than just your destination.
00:06:21.500 It takes you to winding streets,
00:06:23.820 spontaneous detours,
00:06:25.460 and the realisation that neither of you
00:06:27.760 is actually good with directions.
00:06:29.920 Recalculating route.
00:06:31.160 And when the final shortcut taken
00:06:33.220 isn't exactly short...
00:06:35.500 Welcome aboard KLM Royal Dutch...
00:06:37.300 Our crew is here to give you a trip home
00:06:39.320 that goes just as planned.
00:06:41.320 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:06:43.240 When you travel, travel well.
00:06:45.380 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors
00:06:48.400 making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:06:51.020 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:06:54.440 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:06:57.840 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
00:07:02.500 That's how we protect Ontario.
00:07:04.500 For all of us.
