It was St. Patty's Day, so Dani, Cyrus, and AJ find answers to questions about St. Patrick's Day such as, "Why do we pinch others if they are not wearing green?", "What are leprechauns?", "Was St. Patrick Irish?" and more. The intro and ouro song for this episode is “The Irish National Anthem” by The Band of an Garda Síochána.
