The O'Donovans give their post race thoughts on bathing, cuisine, down time and race strategy in what can be argued as the best interview of Rio 2016. They row pretty well too.

@foxja12 жыл бұрын
@@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! :) )

This is a west Cork accent. Various regional accents like this used to be a lot more common but most young people now have (or have been influenced by) the new 'Supraregional' accents. Meaning their accents no longer change much from region to region. Sadly this happens in every country where there's one part of the country with an overwhelming mass of people (Dublin). It happened in New Zealand too where all the various accents gave way to a standard Auckland based one, which is now just the 'New Zealand accent'.

RTÉ and most of Ireland's main national institutions are based in D4, they have always owned RTÉ and they only hire people who sound like them for the 'important' positions. Therefore almost everyone on the 'national' radio channels have that same posh Dublin drone regardless of where they were born. It is true, as Bordieu tried to explain, that the upper middle class does everything in it's power to guard the status of it's own dialect. Go back through the RTÉ archives. You will not find a newsreader who doesn't sound posh.

After that Interview to RTÉ the Irish Broadcasting company they finished with a phrase translated to English from Irish which reads "our day will come", the two lads were then interviewed by the BBC. As they were going on air they then said " it's the BBC, we better be careful what we say here" pure and utter class. Say what you like on Irish TV.

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.
It's just like two lads randomly rocked up one day to give rowing a try and realised they were good at it, so decided to stay.
They're Irish, would you be surprised if that actually was what happened? ahaha
Trisha Mc Actually wouldn't surprise me.
Jack O Brien chill ouh
its like michael cera and acting
That's generally how we roll in Ireland :-)
Interviewer: "Is it a dream come true?" _ "I suppose"😂
In Cork they say "I shpose."
Just two guys having fun and others trying to glorify them.
Man that’s what we all say 😂
I was fucking dying when he said it like that 😂🤣
Translation: "Stop putting words in my mouth."
“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
And the “you can have steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s brilliant”
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.
Ah, l just came for de craic, to be shore!

They won gold in Tokyo 2020(2021)! Congrats lads!
Only one brother ( i.e Paul).won gold in Tokyo. His other brother didn't qualify to accompany him.
@@marymurphy937 ohhh, well that's just sad, I thought it was Gary and Paul.
@@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! :) )
1:38 close your eyes and just listen. Sounds like rap. Eminem get out
I was about to comment the exact same thing! Ok I’m not crazy.. it sounds like he is really rapping. Fantastic
Really? He was just talking about the race in Amsterdam...
Lily Whelan actually genius
No it doesn't
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.

"...Is there a strategy?" "I dont know. Simple really" 🤣

"Close the eyes and pull like a dog". 😂. Good to have these two messers in Tokyo!
"The [Olympic] final's on at 11 o'clock tomorrow...?" "I couldn't tell ya to be honest with you..." Brilliant! Love these guys.
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 😅
Like the man said, ‘mood of the nation’!
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.

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.

Those accents are the basis of Jamaican patois. It's a joy to hear! Love the Irish 🍀
Actually it's not. Patios is the basis of the Ghanaian Language Twi.
@@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
@@Terszel you are correct.
Never heard or thought of that before, but damned if you’re not right!
@@ushoysand Montserrat the accent is irish
Honest to God at first I thought they were interviewing Irish fans in Rio
1:38 - example of the phonological similarity between the Jamaican accent and certain Irish accents
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
@@SamHainScott fascinating stuff. The pronunciation similarities seemed uncanny until I read up about the history, the Irish indentured servants, etc

This is a west Cork accent. Various regional accents like this used to be a lot more common but most young people now have (or have been influenced by) the new 'Supraregional' accents. Meaning their accents no longer change much from region to region. Sadly this happens in every country where there's one part of the country with an overwhelming mass of people (Dublin). It happened in New Zealand too where all the various accents gave way to a standard Auckland based one, which is now just the 'New Zealand accent'.
You cannot get a job on Irish TV unless you say, dine tine near the rindaboit.
@@wideawake914 Yes Indeed. RTÉ and most of Ireland's main national institutions are based in D4, they have always owned RTÉ and they only hire people who sound like them for the 'important' positions. Therefore almost everyone on the 'national' radio channels have that same posh Dublin drone regardless of where they were born. It is true, as Bordieu tried to explain, that the upper middle class does everything in it's power to guard the status of it's own dialect. Go back through the RTÉ archives. You will not find a newsreader who doesn't sound posh. Since the seventies and our joining of the EU they have become less 'British' sounding but it is still the exact same people from the exact same part of the country who hold the influence
