It’s Paddy, Not Patty

from Shift Happened

St. Patrick’s Day… but not the version you think you know.On this episode of Shift Happened, The Second Shift crew digs past the green beer and leprechauns and finds the weird, surprising stuff hiding underneath it all. Like the fact that St. Patrick wasn’t Irish… at all. Or that Ireland used to shut down every bar on March 17th, which honestly feels illegal just saying it out loud.There’s also the real story behind Chicago turning its river green, and why spelling it “Patty’s Day” might quietly start a fight with an entire country.It’s a mix of history, myths getting busted, and those little moments that make you stop and go, “Wait… seriously?” Exactly the kind of rabbit hole you want to fall into on a holiday like this.
