You should be in somewhere on merit.

Yeah, because I think that's an Irish thing.

I think that's an Irish thing.

Like I always give the example, if you knew somebody who just turned professional in boxing and they were in the US and they were like, I'm going to be the champion of the world.

You'd be like, yeah, yeah, you are.

But if you see an Irish person doing that and he says, what's our goal and mission?

Like, I'm going to be the champion of the world.

You'd be like, all right, relax there.
