www.irishnews....
'FROSTBIT Boy' Ruairí McSorley has been rescued after getting into difficulty while swimming off the coast of Co Kerry.
The former viral video star was found on Sunday at around 8.30pm 12 hours after he had begun his swim. He was discovered surrounded by a pod of dolphins four kilometres from the shore of Castlegregory Beach, close to Tralee. He was described as "hypothermic".
Mr McSorley was wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, and told the lifeboat crew he had been trying to swim to Mucklaghmore Rock, an island around 8.8 kilometres from the beach.
Speaking to the Irish Independent, he said he was feeling “100% per cent” after his 12-hour ordeal.
“The only thing was my kidneys needed to readjust, so there has been no serious harm," he said.
“It was only a matter of going into the hospital to heat up a bit. Other than that, I was fine.”
The rescue effort, which involved a helicopter, began following the discovery of clothes at Castlegregory Beach, with the RNLI launching the lifeboat from their station at Fenit Harbour shortly after 12.40pm.
Mr McSorley paid tribute to those who rescued him.
“They’re very professional and very slick. They’re incredible people, I have to say. They aren’t like doctors or paramedics - paid professionals. They’re volunteers,” he said.
“They’re definitely a great group of people, there’s no doubt. They wrapped me up in the blankets and took my body temperature and everything and then just rushed me into the hospital.”
Those involved in the search were initially stood down in the afternoon after finding no sign of the swimmer, but began again at around 6pm.
Gerard O'Donnell of Fenit RNLI said the crew had been "worried" during the search as light was beginning to fade before the swimmer was spotted at around 8pm conscious in the water after crew members noticed a pod of dolphins.
Describing the swimmer as a "lucky individual" and his survival after so long in the water as a "miracle", Mr O'Donnell said the waters of the Atlantic coast can be very cold even in the summer months.
"When the lifeboat crew found them they were a good distance from the shore and were exhausted," he said.
"We would advise that anyone undertaking a swim to let people know where they are going and when they are expected back," he added.
Following the rescue, Mr McSorley was taken for treatment at University Hospital Kerry.
He first came to public attention in January with a news clip that went viral after UTV interviewed him about the perils of a recent cold snap.
The teenager, who said his mother wouldn't allow him to have the day off school, commented: “Ye wouldn’t be long getting frostbit”.
You've seen the clip - and so have hundreds of thousands of people around the world - now see the whole interview as Ruairí McSorley talks to UTV about the wintry weather and the dangers of getting 'frostbit'.
In 2015 we were graced with one of the best viral videos of a generation, the frostbit boy.
With hectic snow and ice pelting down upon Northern Ireland, one schoolboy was forced to brave the sleet and cold as he walked home from school but unlike the infamous man falling on the ice clip, a slippery slide wasn’t the reason this boy went viral.
Ruairi McSorely was stopped by a camera crew to be interviewed about going out in the snow and he begins chatting about how he still had to go to school despite the harsh weather, becoming a celebrity as soon as he opened his mouth.
Speaking to the reporter, he chatted away about how cold the walk to school was but it was when he said frostbite, the world lost it.
‘Oh God it’s desperate, wild time in the snow alright,’ Ruairi tells the interviewer before he’s asked if it put him off going to school.
‘Ah well the mother says we had to go anyway, hadn’t much of a choice in the matter but sure look it.’
And that’s when the famous line was born. Asked if his walk was a cold one he responded: ‘Oh god, you wouldn’t be long getting frostbit.’
He then goes on to explain, in words that are very hard to make out, that he had to change the way he had his socks on so his ankles wouldn’t get ‘frostbit’, or as he put it, ‘you wouldn’t be long getting the ankles frostbit off ya.’
After the clip went viral, Ruairi was on countless TV shows across Ireland, with the most memorable being when he went on Brendan O’Connor’s Saturday Night Show.
The best part of this appearance was that Brendan, along with the audience, couldn’t make out a word he was saying.
Seriously jokes aside, what a well mannered young man
Wait, so you actually understand what he is saying? I understood "bye bye"
Absolutely ✨
I don't even know what he's saying 😂😂
meranammani
Excellent! So nice to see a kind-hearted comment. He deserves compliments not insults. I think his school will be proud of him. What a cheerful young man! :)
He’s so cute
His Parents should give themselves a big pat on the back for raising such a genuine polite and confident young man. He will be a real star 👍
It’s a character
Star all right mad thing just got rescued off Coast of Ireland 🇮🇪 by rescue surrounded by a load Dolphins 🐬 our at sea he taught they were sharks hahaha 😂 true story he is thick as shite 😂
Shit swimmer tho
you know he nearly drowned and got rescued by dolphins recently
they forgot to teach him english lol
The fact this dude was recently rescued at sea while swimming with dolphins proves life is insane.
Source?
@@zjapp an Irish chick I'm chatting up just told me this and I'm also curious for the source...
In the description
No way?!
I seen this on BBC news Scotland. He thanked the rescuers that brought him to shore and no he wasn't " Long in getting Frostbit" what a lad....!
As a non-native english speaker trying to improve myself in this language, gotta say this is the final boss, so difficult to understand lmao
No. Final boss is the Guy Ritchie films : Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
@@michaelnurse9089 not even! The old Irish farmers country accent is the real hard one.
Same here

Teacher:”Guys the listening test won’t be hard”
The listening test:
Oh fuck I've never laughed so hard at a RUclips comment.. 🤣😂😭
At least it's in English (somewhat), try doing an Irish listening exam with this kind of accent😂😂

I just logged in specifically to like this comment 😂
@@thedamntrain Eh not necessarily, not if you can't speak Irish anyway. I learned Irish in school and everytime we had a listening test there was one particular guy on the tape who had this ridiculously strong Northern Irish accent, I honestly think they just added him in there as some kind of curveball so we didn't get too cocky, we all dreaded getting him on the exam. I probably wouldn't even understand him if he was speaking English, that's how thick his accent was.
Kid is standing in below zero weather and having a nice chat like he's sitting in front of a fireplace.
He's in his school uniform, with the jacket open, and no overcoat, scarf or gloves despite the danger of getting frostbitten!
Well when you’re asked a question, you politely disregard the cold for a wee while.
@Just Browsing
Frostbutt😬
Meanwhile here in Canada...
@@trentbateman a _wee_ while
hehe
I really like this guy. Truly, not in anyway being cynical. So full of life. Bless him.
agreed
he's a total sweetheart
@@hannienanniep He's a TV presenter on Irish TV. It's been common knowledge for a long time.
Reporter: "What do you make of it today?"
Him: "WHALE."
You know it’s well?
Good one! Very funny. He was an excitable young man and always flashing his big toothy smile. He may speak with an accent different from you (I’m assuming you’re English, although even if you are you’ll now say you’re not). I’m Scottish and despite my cultural differences I understood every word he said..
burteriksson I just wrote that I know exactly what he’s saying. I spent a lot of my childhood in Ireland. I have family from Ireland.
burteriksson sorry, misinterpreted your comment. Now I understand. Thanks for clearing it up. Sorry if I seemed uppity or rude.

Reminds me of the movie Get Out, if you've ever seen that haha
He was so drunk he wore his sons uniform and went to school
Golden comment.
Lmfao
🤣🤣
I'm fucking dying
The best comment on the internet!!
I can only repeat what others have commented: What a polite and likeable young man. His parents should have been proud of him, and how well he speaks and gets on with others. The world needs plenty more like this chap.
What a great kid! So polite and well spoken - jeez! The confidence to give that interview, what a star!
He’s the most likeable guy on RUclips.
He's spent way too much time with his Grandmother.
I'm from Armagh Irish granny's are like that
David Jordan, no... we have spent too little!
Masseyman 990 me too although mine was a bit quieter than that but he's so sweet none the less
Just a cultchy at heart😎
Aye that's true I'm from Coleraine
Honestly he seems like a nice and well mannered guy! And I think it's cool if the younger generation still is able to speak their native dialects.
He's speaking English though.🤣🤣🤣
@@MrOx85 yeah but in a strong dialect
@@99pppo Very much so, it would be great to see the Gallic languages become common again.
@@99pppo ACCENT U IDIOT
LMAO. He is speaking standard English, not a dialect. Has does have a strong regional accent though. I'm guessing you are young and from USA.
As a Dubliner I love this bloody island and it's diversity of practices, beliefs, habits and of course accents. I'm glad to see strong country accents like this are surviving. I love hearing them! Brings me back to a time I only imagine from seeing old photos and hearing old stories.
But can you understand him?
@@looksirdroids9134 Word for word. I have to say, even with an ear for accents I am still caught out the odd time from a farmer in the tiny lanes of Cork or Kerry. They give me directions and we hash it out but all of the filler words are unrecognisable. I'd have to spend a little more time in their company to get it lol.
@@mindswideopen4339 that's not his real accent is it? I think he is playing us like the so pitted suffer guy did.
But what about the accent from 200 years ago?
Accents and languages evolve over time
@@magiccheeseball it's real. Hes spent time with older folk is all
He had whisky on his cornflakes before school 🤣
😂😂😂
yes because the milk froze :P
@@daytonaaaargh no because hes a unit. 1 man platoon

How I spoke for a week when I discovered I was one-third Irish on my DNA ancestry report...
😂🤣
How I speak whenever I visit my family in Omagh.
How can you be one-third of something? Did you grandfather sleep with both of your grandmas ?
😂😂😂👍🏼
Thomas Wepfer aw fuk off Thomas it’s a joke get a grip you aswell Rodrigo get to fuk
On being rescued after 10 hours in the sea off Kerry - "sure I just needed to go to hospital to warm up a wee bit". Mad as a hatter, and damn lucky to be alive!
I really hope they interview him on TV again
is there a link
This guy needs his own talk show
😂
Good lad , sounds respectful and warm hearted , sadly lacking today
What its disappeared in what 6 years?
Agreed.
@@DaleSteel I mean yeah kinda
Ok boomer
@@mb61j2 Ok clueless millenial
He seems like a very nice young lad who's stuck in a very old mind lol
That's just the wonderful way small town Ireland is.
Deep Heat I live less than 200ft away from here.i know the place. The exact spot
True ☺
Hes joking
@@pup1008 he’s putting on that old man persona, playing up to the camera. He’s a well known joker!
He's back in the news again today, he swam 4km out from the Kerry coast and had to be airlifted out. When they found him he was surrounded by a pod of dolphins, no shit. A Big wild man beard on him and all!!! He is Irelands very own Forrest Gump.
I need to see this article lol
I just love his sing song way of talking--how his inflection goes from high to low and back again. Couldn't hardly understand a word he said but could listen to the lad talk all day.
The best part was that he told them when the interview was over, he'd said his piece and he was off to school.
Absolute most awesome soul, rare type.👍
Just like Chicago!
I had no idea he said that, I was lost after the first word! “Whale......”
@@misdangered4326 Well one things for sure. That kid was having a whale of a time with this interview
I love the accent. It's very warm and friendly.
I agree! Just like Derry people, the accent perfectly reflects their nature 😊 Derry is an amazing place!
@@katharina... Londonderry is a kip
The accent is probably what keeps him warm
@@Idontcare-go4os it's Derry
@@Boo-wp1xw it's Londonderry
What a pleasant young man. He spoke a wee bit too quickly but I understood every word. He seems to take everything in his stride, and do so with a smile in his face. God bless him the excitable fellow that he is.
Would you be so kind as to type everything here please? The captions couldn't handle him.
What 😂I didn't understand at all
An extremely happy and friendly young man. Totally unaware that many of his audience would be unable to understand him.
I'm sure he's aware of that.
But it looks like it's a regional TV interview, so I guess the local audience will understand him.
I used to live in the Netherlands, and sometimes there would be a story on the evening news from a southern province like Brabant, and they would use subtitles in the interviews so that the rest of the country could understand them. They speak Dutch, but it's a dialect.l
@divinaluz69 Quite correct. It was for a local Northern Irish news station many years ago, so he assumed his audience would most definitely understand him. And we did.
I could understand everything the interviewer said, but the youngster was just making it up as he went along
Nah
@Station View how do people not understand him, im from donegal and i can understand him lol
What a top polite young man
Such an old soul that he's already got his 'when I was a child I walked to school in the freezing cold' story sorted as a lad
Legend has it that this young man is now a king on top of a frosty mountain.
For this video alone, he deserves some kind of formal title.
aye its called toppa the hill in derry lol
trust me when i say you must turn on the subtitles... will not regret
+Prick :D How can you not understand this?
haha, amazing!
I understand him fully... Being northern irish
+Sapphie TheCat I understood him as well and I'm English. I must admit, I did have to concentrate a bit though.
+Prick :D You made my day good sir XD
This man is still liking comments 5 years after
As soon as it gets cold outside because people search for this video, so funny!
As an Irish man I could translate for y’all, but the gist of it goes:
It’s cold and you could get frostbite on the ankles, but I’m not worried… it’s probably a day to stay in the house, nonetheless. Thanks guys, have a good day!
Dzięki. Pozdrawiam serdecznie Ciebie i mieszkańców Irlandii. Uściski z Polski!
All the character from all other youths has migrated into this young man.
Can’t imagine how fun it must’ve been to have gone to school with him!
They’d all have spoken the way he did. That was an accent specifically found in that area. All the young lads and lasses would have spoken like that, maybe not so fast. Take it like this it was very cold outside, he was walking to school and all of a sudden finds himself in front of a reporter and a camera crew. There he is freezing his bollocks off and trying to answer the reporter. When he says “you wouldn’t be long getting frostbit”, what he’s really saying to the reporter is “I’m bloody cold would you ever just let me be on me way to school”. But he’s a polite young man and shows them how his ankles are exposed and tells them once again how cold he is before waving at them and walking off closing the interview himself because he wanted to get to school where he’d be warm. That’s what I perceive when watching this interview. To be fair I’m sure quite a few kids told the reporter to “feck off”.
@@jackduncan4228 lol ur chatting out ur arse lad he was putting that accent on the whole time. im from derry and only the verry elderly talk like this, and no we talk alot faster he slowed down for the camera
@@pipedgolf4634I think maybe he’s autistic. He has a speech pattern that’s common amongst people on the spectrum.
If you come from rural Ireland, particularly the rural North of Ireland, you’ve absolutely no problem understanding what he’s saying!
I went to the same school as this lad. My English teacher told us that he was one of her students, and during the speaking and listening exams he would speak incredibly clearly which is just hilarious to think about.
He's one of those guys you could listen to for hours, brilliant stuff
you could listen to him for hours, and only understand about 5 minutes worth of what he said
[internet law requires that I mention that the previous statement was a lighthearted joke]
Love the Irish! Best people in the world & that is from a Brit!
How "Irish Americans" think they speak when their Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather was from Ireland
That's nearly 600 years of generations, which brings us approximately to 1400ad, 92 years before Columbus discovered America :)
@@ralphzimmermann hahaha this is class
@@parkender1833 haha :)
@@ralphzimmermann fair play Ralph
It’s is actually true though. I am Irish and whenever I go to America they claim to be Irish because of their great grandma
That boy is brave. He fought two sharks and put them on his feet.
His Irish accent is strong that make my water turned into whiskey
“You wouldn’t long be getting frostbite!”
He says...in just his uniform...with no coat or warm clothing.
Absolute Legend.
Every sentence starts with a long ooohhhh
Welllllll
This has crossed the line between an accent and a new language. It wouldn't dawn on me that this is English unless I concentrate 100% without any distractions and of course turn on the subtitles .
Can you get the jist of what he's saying though?
He hasn't really. It's just English spoken with a strong provincial accent.
Legend has it, this boy was working 3 jobs while still at school.
Sir, you are magnificent. Watching this video with CC on gave my life meaning.
Thank you just realised theres captions after playing it over and over

Greetings from August 2021… he’s made the news again !
He seems like a nice kid.
It scares me that the longer I listen to this guy the more I understand him...
For anyone learning English as a foreign language... This is the language test equivalent of a boss fight. If you master this, you ARE the ONE.
Ah finally, a man who could read Finnegan's Wake without any issue.
He's so happy and nice!
His interview on JaackMaate's happy Hour is great !
No less than brilliant, what a lovely accent and what a lovely lad, bless him.
Frostbit Boy popped into my head today and I've no idea why. Still the best vox pop to ever come out of NI! :)
The guy interviewing him understands him!
Hey hes a good lad, no bother. Good luck to him.
Ok but this is serious, I can't stop watching this.

This was filmed literally 200ft away from my house.
I thought you folks used the metric system.

@@darrylm5100 Ah, frankly I think we need to catch up with the rest of the world. Metric is pretty easy and we are pretty good at keeping up with many changes. For some reason, though, many of us fear the meter.
Did u understand what he was saying?
AAA I do in fact I’m in school rn but I’ll transcript it’s later. Also we don’t all talk like that
"These new new sharks that I got as well"
"I had to turn the hill, the hill, just up to me udders, see?"

Those captions are legendary:
“Oh god of stairs!” XD
He's the Irish Boomhauer.
There's always a fella like him in every school.

He is darling. Such a nice young man.❤
This is how my Granda talks.
What a lovely genuine guy 😂❤️
Frost butt sounds very painful
I take huge pride in how well I've learned English and how well I can speak it while not being a native speaker...
This Irish lad broke me.
Hes so friendly
I think he is doing well to be still going to school after being kept back for 20 years!
Still proud to have been born in roughly the same place as this fella.

What a man. I wished this guy was my neighbour!

I can't understand a word of what he's saying. But he seems like a well kept well mannered man.
This lad is only after been pulled from the sea after been lost for 12 hours ,thank God he's ok . A gas man 🙏
Love how he talks🤗
Gotta love people of Ireland..lots of love from Malaysia..❤️🇲🇾
I'm a Chinese Brit and I just came back from Malaysia. I LOVE KL AND PENANG!!!

Absolute Legend!!! Never gets old.
This guy is actually super friendly and mannered
He doesnt seem like he's gonna turn into the usual "I'm Irish" person. They just can't help themselves. This kid is aa genuinely nice Irish kid
Decent,good natured young fella,if there were more people like him around the world would be a much better place.
totally agreed.. if that ask a homeboy the same question he would pull out a glock and say " Frostbite aint your present problems man "
Eh, I like the variety, myself. God bless him, but it would only cheapen the effect he has to have more of him.
I’d rather a world full of kids / young adults like him than the scratters we do have , top chap 👍🏻
The fact I can understand every word he says…
my hero
There were parts that I couldn't.
@TSX Trader Boy: Oh God, it’s the desperate, God the mountains is brave and close now right enough. Oh God, it’s w- oohh w- wild time in the snow all right.

I had to turn the heel up- up- up to my foot there j- just so the sock would go long enough and the mother got me these ‘oul flippin’ trainer sock things there, oh God you wouldn’t be long getting the ankles frostbite off ya.
Reporter: And you don’t mind walking to school in this snow?

Reporter: But are you used to the snow up this far north?

Sorta a day for the house now, right enough. It’s meant to be wild today around Feeny and Donnemana and all around them surrounding areas. Ahh now, well surely eh, thank yous anyway! Alright, ba-bye.
I could be wrong with some of these, especially at the end I couldn’t really make out the first location, but I think he was talking about Lough na Fooey.
