The video that took a country by storm.
It’s been several months since Tony McGregor made headlines around Ireland after he created a piece of unintentional comedy genius in the form of a rant about ticket machines at Dublin DART (the Dublin Area Rapid Transport, as Tony refers to it).

He was none too plussed about his experience with their service after his brand new, crisp €20 note was swallowed by the machine and in its place he was presented with €17.30 in change and a miserable little one-way ticket. The bloody cheek.
A man like Tony McGregor has no time for such excess coinage and certainly no safe means of carrying such a sum in his hand-fitted Hugo Boss suit.
Unsurprisingly, the video was shared widely and Tony became somewhat of a viral star for his self-proclaimed #FirstWorldProblem.
As we mentioned earlier, Conor McGregor was on The Ariel Helwani Show on Monday and among other things, Ariel asked him about the video of his father.
It seems the Dubliner has exactly the same reaction as any child when one their parents is active on social media.
“I’ll tell you what I’m thinking,” McGregor said. “I’m thinking ‘Where’s me ma to get that man’s phone out of his bleedin hands?’ Somebody get that man’s phone off him!”
He continued to say: “Up the McGregor’s”.
