"Not the first verse, not the second verse, but the THIRD verse"

This has been an ongoing joke between my wife and me since we met 30 years ago. Any time we talk about the third anything we phrase it like this—really leaning into the Irish brogue on "third."

"So if we win in the first round, then we play the third seed?"

"That's right. Not the first seed, not the second seed, but the THIRD seed."

I get the eyerolls when I hear Bono pronounce the word “Psalms” … “The Sams”

Dude! The L is silent salmon, but not in psalm!

Yes, and he also calls Palm Springs “Pam Springs”

That is how everyone in Ireland would pronounce both of all these words, it’s news to me that people elsewhere do pronounce the l

It’s not pronouncing the “L” necessarily. The difference is that we make the vowel sound a long A as opposed to a short A.

exactly, L is still in there if you listen hard enough its just to an american ear its hard to hear typically

I think it’s Satellite of Love on the ZooTV Sydney release. Bono sings Tuesday like “tooz dee.” I adopted it as an American midwestern teenage dipshit and have never dropped it.

"with or with ouch you"... which is B's pronunciation more often than not, has driven me bonkers since the song was released when I was in high school

“Rock and roll doggie!” Remember that random shout from Bono during an Mtv interview? That’s exactly what we named our podcast.

I was on a road trip through Ireland. I am from California. Stopped at a convenience store. Asked the gentleman at the register for a the candy bars. He said something back, i replied. We looked at each other. We both knew we were speaking English but didn't have the foggiest of what the hell we said to each other. It was a good laugh. Broke down to caveman “candy” chocolate“ ”where“

Oh man. Lines from Rattle & Hum go through my head fairly often. There were some things I could never understand, so as soon as I got it on DVD, I watched it with subtitles. Like in the Point Depot interview, Bono says something I could never understand to someone off camera. Ages later, I discovered that he said “Is that the beer coming?” Can’t tell you how delighted I was just to discover that one little thing.

~~Source for the uninitiated: in the documentary of making "The Unforgettable Fire", Bono discussing the structure of "Pride (In The Name of Love)", I think is the song, with Eno and Lanois.~~

Edit: "If I had a head like yours I'd bleedin' bury it!" 😅 Thanks everybody. I mixed it up with this: https://youtu.be/94BA-bNc21o?t=19m30s
