Really interesting. They can tell a good story so it was great to have that. Jessica: Yeah, so have you been to Ireland? Kate: Oh, yeah. Many times. Yeah. Jessica: Did you go and see where they grew up and...yeah Jessica: Cool. Kate: It's a beautiful place. I've been there lots of times. I want to go back. Definitely.
