Ahoy Muggles!
It's great to be back on MMM, or as Bill and Ted would say, it's "Most Excellent!". I'm feeling particularly upbeat because, not only is it St. Patrick's Day on Friday, it's also my birthday on Thursday, so I'll have two opportunities to celebrate! Last year my wife and I drove through a blinding snowstorm to Utica, NY where I got to meet one of my favorite Muggles - @Al Sisti - and see his "Blarney Rebel Band" play at Piggy Pats Smoke & Ale House. Al has helped me a lot with my meta puzzles over the past year, and he even suggested the title for this one. To show my appreciation I'm dedicating this meta to him, and I'm even throwing in a second mechanism and answer to boot!
There are two meta answers: One is an 8-letter word. The other is a 2-word phrase.
