Transcript
Heineken is helping fourth generation Irish pub owner Joseph Josie McLaughlin, who owns McLaughlin's Bar, to find his next successor.
Speaker A:The only requirement that Josie has here is that you must have the last name McLaughlin.
Speaker A:Chris, I'm wondering, would you consider changing your last name From Walton to McLaughlin to save this man's family bar and move to Western Ireland for a new career as a barkeeper?
Speaker B:Too right, I would add.
Speaker B:Too right I would add.
Speaker B:And as Irish would say, I might as well be hung for a sheep as I am hung for a lamb.
Speaker B:Because I mean, my question would be, how long, how long does, how long does it take to do the name change?
Speaker B:I don't know if they'd want me running a bar.
Speaker B:I don't know if I actually want to at the end of the day.
Speaker B:But, yeah, sign me up.
Speaker B:Oh, my God, man.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:Why don't you.
Speaker A:I don't get that.
Speaker A:I don't get that expression.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:It just means like, I don't know, let's look it up later.
Speaker B:I can't explain it either, but I.
Speaker B:I know I become Seamus of Walton for an Irish bar.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:100.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker A:God.
Speaker B:Next one.
Speaker B:Unimpressed.
Speaker B: c to iHeartRadio Music Awards: Speaker B:What is one time you remember not reacting to something the way those around you expected that you should?
Speaker A:I'm wondering if you had something in mind when you.
Speaker B:Oh, I did it.
Speaker A:If there's something.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:I was like, I'm trying to think if I've done that.
Speaker A:Like when we've been working together, the only thing I could think of was my 30th birthday.
Speaker A:But that is a long story.
Speaker A:I had a.
Speaker A:My husband at the time had a surprise birthday party for me and it was like, there's a lot of things.
Speaker A:He held it on my dad's birthday, which.
Speaker A:And yeah, I, I don't.
Speaker A:We'll have a drink and talk about this for a much longer time because there's a lot of things that, that did not go right at that party.
Speaker B:We'll just say that you're not stoked by the attempt.
Speaker A:Yeah, no, I was not surprised.
Speaker A:I was concerned.
Speaker A:We'll put it that way.
Speaker A:So anyway, that was the first thing that came to mind.
Speaker B:So ask me about that at Chop Talk.
Speaker B:I didn't have anything in my history about this.
Speaker B:No, I, I honestly.
Speaker B:I know.
Speaker B:I can't even think of one now, so.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker A:All right, Chris.
Speaker A:The Four Seasons resorts are offering a 20 or.
Speaker A:Sorry, a $200,000 excursion.
Speaker A:Not 20,000.
Speaker A:No, no.
Speaker A:That takes you via private jet to all three of their locations where White Lotus seasons one through three have been filmed.
Speaker A:If you had $200,000 to spend on a vacation, is this a trip that you would consider.
Speaker B:My God, yes.
Speaker B:100.
Speaker B:And, yeah, if I had $200,000 to spend frivolously on stuff like this.
Speaker B:Yes, 100.
Speaker B:I mean, white Lotus is the best vacation porn that there is.
Speaker B:My question is, where is season four and where do you think they go?
Speaker B:I mean, I kind of want them to do, like, the mountain or skiing version, but I don't know if you can make that sexy enough.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:You know, like, I.
Speaker B:I don't know, but I'm curious.
Speaker B:We.
Speaker B:You know, my wife and I debate that all the time.
Speaker B:Like, where is the next one going to be?
Speaker B:You know, we were like, yeah, Maldives.
Speaker B:To the Maldives.
Speaker B:Like, what do you do?
Speaker B:You know?
Speaker B:Or.
Speaker B:Or South America.
Speaker A:South America, probably.
