WATCH: This American’s reaction to hurling and camogie is the funniest thing online
In July Pray's videos of his first reactions to hurling and Gaelic football went viral. In his first video, about hurling, he said:
“Hurling has to be the most difficult and eye hurting sport I have ever witnessed,” he said.
“Everything about hurling seems like it hurts”.
He then went on to discover football saying "Just imagine a bunch of men running as fast as they can, dropping the ball...do you know the co-ordination you gotta have to play Gaelic football?!"
Trying to explain the rules for Americans he said:
"You gotta tackle that person but you can't use no hands. You gotta throw that ball over there but you can't throw the ball you gotta slap the ball. You gotta run with the ball but you can't run no more than five steps without bouncing the ball again."
