We've run into each other a couple of. times over the years we've talked and uh. we always have this crazy Bond I don't. know if it's a genetic thing. because I don't know I I found out since. I met you that I'm 100% Irish after my. people have been in this country since. 1875 still genetically we just married.
each other and had more kids and uh 1870. you know I'm sorry the history of the. plummet yeah 1875 was a nanc ago just. just happened yeah yeah so I do think I. don't know what it is but I know first. time I met you you may not remember this. I've only been to one prize fight in my. life one boxing match and you I I. someone took me I'd never been to one. before and I stood up and you came over.
and said oh hello Conan let's go get a. pint because it was in between bouts and. I thought oh this is fantastic Liam niss. is inviting me for a pint and uh so what. was the main event I don't I mean this. is how bad I am I don't remember I. remember people were hitting each other. that's how I'm not I'm not I don't. follow the sport someone invited me. right and I thought these guys seem. angry people no no they're supposed to. be doing this we're supposed to be. hitting each other I don't don't. remember what it was but we went and we.
got a we got a pint together and I. thought this is living having a pint. with Liam niss this is about as cool as. it gets and I it was a great time you. were very nice to me and then we've uh. We've run into each other every now and. then I know my people are all from the. south yes by the coast and I know that. you're a you're a northern fella I uh. Northern Ireland little time called. balina yeah 30 Mi Northwest of Belfast. but my mother is uh born a boy was born.
in Brad Waterford in the Irish Republic. where Waterford by the Sea yes that's. where my people are from get away yeah. seriously I will not get away I am here. to stay um I we are from uh Waterford. and uh on my father's side yes so you. and I are related we know that they have. to be yeah and uh I remembered I went. first time I went back to Ireland I sto. somewhere that I was told was Waterford. and I get out of the car and you know. you're supposed they say You're supposed. to kiss kiss the ground so I thought.
okay I'll kiss the ground and as I'm. kissing the ground someone went by and. said what are you doing and I said well. from Waterford they went this isn't. Waterford spitting it out spitting out. soil they said it's you know 30 mil that. way you ass so uh yeah but uh but it's. it's funny because there is something I. don't know what it is um when it's in. there's something in the blood where. when I meet other people who are Irish. even though I've not grown up in that.
country and you could say I'm not really. Irish because I you know third. generation or fourth generation in this. country uh I do right away like every. cell in my body says this is the air I'm. supposed to be breathing sure um I like. that it's raining out. yes rain yes everyone's depressed. yesh people aren't taking care of. themselves this is the way I'm meant to. live not in Southern California which is. a terrible terrible Mist yeah but I I I.
I find g I'm born and Brad. palamina uh Catholic ah boy because. everybody always asks yeah um but when I. came out to the. states uh 0 1988 I'm an American citizen. very PR on to and Irish citizen but. everybody I'd meet wanted to tell me. they had a connection with either. Ireland or Scotland yeah I was for. somebody to say I'm an American yeah do.
you know what I mean yeah they always. wanted to make a connection it made me. think yeah okay there was a million and. a half during the Potato Famine in. Ireland 1845. 1852 came out here right in coffin boats. they were on coffin ships you know and I. was like oh I of course 1845 that was. that was a nanc ago you know two seconds. ago but it's also I mean uh I I I've. always got embarrassed on St Patrick's. Day here in the States because people.
that were 11 18th Irish paint the Irish. flag on their face get shitfaced throw. up on Fifth Avenue um and kiss everyone. they see after throwing. up IR what when did you how Irish are. you my father's uncles brothers sisters. mothers cuz your last name's Armenian ah. you I'm Irish and I think well you. just wanted to get drunk and then I find.
out that in Ireland on St Patrick's Day. they they people go to mass they go to. mass yeah no one's painting their face I. know no one's celebrating this. Insanity uh so you're raised Catholic so. we both had that because I was raised. very Catholic and did you do uh you an. alter boy I was not an alter boy they. found out early on this kid can read and. he's good at speaking so we'll make him. a Lecter which means I'll read the. passages when they need someone to read. a passage so I got a speaking part which.
was kind of nice I I looked at the alter. boys and I thought I like that. outfit and I want that Smoky thing I. want to I want to toss that Smoky thing. around that that's terrible. Conor I'm sorry we I'm sorry here in. America Next older boy in here in. America we call it the Smoky thing and. if you're going to be a citizen of this. country you need to learn. that uh so um commun the whole thing I.
found communion Terri I mean not. communion uh confession I found. confession terrifying I would always. freeze up when I would go into the. confessional because I wouldn't know I. just I didn't want to admit to anything. real and I would freeze up so I'd make. things up that no kid would do I I am I. embezzled check you embezzled from a I. store put funds in an offshore account. and didn't declare it how old are you. I'm seven.
I coveted my neighbor's wife what did. you not really I just would freeze up. did you did you get did you find that. frightening I I did especially the last. confession I ever went to officially. confessional and I think it was I wasn't. 16 I was 15 I know I was still boxing. and uh it was a great event when you had. a missionary visiting from Africa or. something like that yeah yeah and it. there for a week and you'd go to mass.
every night and as an older boy I'd be. serving. Mass uh but to hear for the to hear your. confession from him it was like a big. deal so I remember going 15 years of age. and it was before mass and there were. lots of old women just outside the. confessional kneeling down and sing. their prayers and I went into this guy. and he's used to be in in Africa Congo. whatever Shing his lungs. I. so we started and I.
had um I had learned how to pleasure. myself at home onto the sheets right. yeah sure and I looked up the. appropriate word I remember this about. masturbate masturbation okay that seems. harmless enough I'd say that me Father. argued with my mom yeah my sister and I. fight and. uh I masturbated you.
what this guy literally oh my God I mean. he he almost said things like the grass. will grow out of the palm of your hand. before you're. 21 stop that evil practice he's shouting. this and I'm immediately thinking I have. to leave this and there's all these old. women praying outside who can hear. everything you can hear everything. especially. him and I laughed and my dick my dick.
was that size it just shrinks up inside. you yeah that was the last time I ever. want to I think that'll do it yeah I. think that'll do it that's my. God it wasn't Happ and I'm all pride of. myself I haven't learned this word you. know well I'm glad I never masturbated. that's all I'll. say.
