The 47 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: way I approach life, we are here for just seconds 48 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 3: in the big picture of things, and then we get 49 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 3: tossed into a box and they put dirt on top 50 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: of us, and then that's it. Game over. I want 51 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 3: to enjoy what I'm eating. I like what I like, 52 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: and that's the way we do things. But today's National 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: Picky Eater's Day and some fun facts for alf the 54 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: alien opinter to back up. 55 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: What exactly this day is for now. 56 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: Supposedly, the origins of National Picky Eater's Day is a 57 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: day that is not about celebrating not eating certain foods. 58 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: It is actually a day to try to get your kids, 59 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: because normally it's the kids you're trying to get to 60 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 3: eat healthy and all that stuff. So it's a day 61 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: to celebrate these small victories in life. And a recent 62 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: survey found that at most meal time issues with food. 63 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: The coniption fit happens because your kid doesn't want to 64 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: eat veggies. That's almost forty percent of the time. Thirty 65 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: seven percent of the time, they estimate kids say ixnay 66 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: on the veggie A not interested. They say about thirty 67 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: three percent of the time, the kid's like, I'm not 68 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 3: eating that. It doesn't smell good. And they say about 69 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: thirty two percent of the time the kid doesn't eat 70 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: it because they don't like the way it looks, the 71 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: presentation of the food. And then roughly fourteen percent of 72 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 3: the time they say, it's just the kid doesn't want 73 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: to try something new, and that's me. 74 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: I like what I like, and that's it. 75 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: And the first ever picky eater probably goes back I 76 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: don't know, the prehistoric times and all that, and I 77 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: can imagine that the kid didn't want to eat berries, 78 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: and it's like, I like the meat I'm eating, I 79 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: don't eat berries, And that was it. Picky eater actually 80 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: first became a thing, you know, I like words. We 81 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: have the phrase of the week. We'll get too later 82 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 3: in this podcast. But the phrase picky eater first appeared 83 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: in the modern lexicon some fifty five years ago, nineteen seventy, 84 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: nineteen seventy, and the phrase made it into the normal 85 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: range of. 86 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: Discussion, and it started that year. 87 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: By the nineteen sixties and seventies, fussy eating was widespread 88 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 3: and it made Doctor Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham a 89 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 3: best seller, and that because the people could not get 90 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: their kids to eat. 91 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: I guess there was. 92 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 3: It must have been a boom in the sixties in 93 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 3: different foods and the frozen food thing, and that kind 94 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: of took off in that time, and one thing led 95 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 3: to another. There's actually been a bunch of studies that 96 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: have been done in all this. 97 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: They say that. 98 00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 3: Fifty nine percent of kids are picky eaters. It's more 99 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 3: likely that your kid is not going to like what 100 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 3: you're serving, and there's a negotiation. 101 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: It's like a hostage situation. 102 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 3: And my dear old mom she still be resting in peace, 103 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 3: but man, I put my mom through the wringer.

My mom eat a lot of peas, 108 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 3: a lot of peas, and I did not like peas. 109 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 3: Sam I am and Mom I am, and I wouldn't 110 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: eat the peas.

It's like how do they afford that? 214 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: Like the rent is not that cheap at these places, 215 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 3: Like how do they do it? 216 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: How do they put off? 217 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 3: Anyway, So I started starting reading what the gentleman from 218 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 3: Florida sent me, and then I started doing some other 219 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: stuff and the fortune telling, tarroot reading, palm reading. 220 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: All that is valued. 221 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: At two point three billion with a B like ben 222 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: two point three billion in the United States, and it 223 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 3: is estimated this blooming away that across the United States 224 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: there are one hundred and five thousand, over one hundred 225 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 3: and five thousand businesses that are in that industry, and 226 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 3: the annual growth rate is around four point three percent, 227 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 3: and then they estimate the business is booming for a 228 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 3: lot during COVID, people just worked up and needing help 229 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 3: and looking anywhere they could. 230 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: Get it pandemic. 231 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 3: Certainly, it's gone down a little bit since the pandemic, 232 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 3: but it's continued overall to go up. 233 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: And then you start digging. 234 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 3: A little deeper and you're like, all right, so what's 235 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 3: going on? And so the way the scams work, the 236 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: fortune telling scams, is they're able to exploit people who 237 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 3: are curious, people that are at an emotionally weak spot 238 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: in their life. Essentially, we use the phrase also on 239 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 3: the show getting that Dumb Money, which is a Wall 240 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: Street phrase, but in fortune telling, I don't know if 241 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 3: dumb is the right word, because I don't want to 242 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 3: say everyone that's falling forward is dumb. But your defense 243 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: systems go down. 244 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: At certain points in your life. 245 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 3: They just do right, whether you lose someone close to you, 246 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 3: whether you've got a medical problem, maybe you lose your job. 247 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: There's certain points in our life where we do not 248 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 3: have the defense up the force field. The protection goes away. 249 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 3: And the way that the fortune telling industry gets customers, 250 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: I guess they call it the hook, right, the hook, 251 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 3: And how do you get people. It's like doing a 252 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 3: radio show. Well, a lot of the times in the 253 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 3: old days, you just get people that would scan the 254 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: radio dial and find you. Not so much anymore. A 255 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: lot of people just happened to be looking for a format. 256 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 3: We're on Fox Sports Radio.

He died 266 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, The Amazing Randy. And there 267 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 3: was a pretty good documentary. Some of it was annoying 268 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 3: in the documentary, but most of it was pretty good. 269 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: The Amazing Randy. It was recorded near the end of 270 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: his life. 271 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 3: About the parts I liked were the parts about how 272 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 3: he tried to expose and he did expose many people 273 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 3: in this industry. And he had like a if I 274 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 3: remember correctly, and I haven't seen the documentary in a 275 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 3: number of years, and I think I recommended it on 276 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 3: this podcast. But anyway, the Amazing Randy, he had a 277 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: standing offer. 278 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: James Randy. 279 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 3: He was a magician, and he used to bother him 280 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 3: that people who were magicians would exploit the fact they 281 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 3: thought they would teach people that this was real. And 282 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: he's like, well, it's not real, it's magic. We're doing 283 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: a show, we're doing performance art, and it's all right. Anyway, 284 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 3: So James Randy had a Amazing Randy had an offer 285 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: a million dollars if you could go into a room 286 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 3: under his conditions, with limited guidelines and prove prove that 287 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 3: you could actually tell the future. 288 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: Million dollars. 289 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 3: And despite one hundred thousand businesses offering services about predicting 290 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 3: the future, sure nobody, uh, nobody got it right. Nobody 291 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: took the offer. Well, I don't know nobody took the office. 292 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 3: I think one one or two people tried, but they 293 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 3: didn't succeed in that. And so the cold reading thing 294 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 3: is and I think this was also in the documentary. 295 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: It's a lot of guess work. 296 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 3: It's a lot of vague phrases that could apply to anyone. 297 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 3: Like I see someone in your in your life that 298 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 3: their name starts with the first name starts with an M. 299 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 3: I see you you've had something that hasn't gone your 300 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 3: way recently in your life, which is one of those 301 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 3: things like you going to a cold reading. Chances are 302 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: you're going there because something didn't go great, you know, 303 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 3: and you know someone in your world is hiding something 304 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 3: from you, and I see it's a woman, and you know, and. 305 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: Just you, just you, And then they answer. 306 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 3: And a lot of times the person that is having 307 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 3: the cold reading done to them will answer these questions 308 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: and give more information right, and they'll read. 309 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: Body language, and they'll. 310 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 3: They'll kind of refine and update predictions and things as 311 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 3: they go through the whole thing. And then eventually they 312 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 3: if they're good at it, they'll gain your trust. And 313 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: once they've got you, they got you by the balls, 314 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 3: all right, they got you by it right, because then 315 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 3: they introduce a different issue, right. And oftentimes, from what 316 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 3: I've been able to discover from my rabbit hole, you 317 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: can go down your own rabbit hole is they will. 318 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 3: Once they've got you, they they then bring in a 319 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 3: curse or negative dark energy or. 320 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: Some kind of spiritual block get to the other. 321 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 3: Side, and they come up with all these terms and 322 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: they claim that the issue is what's really causing your 323 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 3: problems in life, that the reason you have a really 324 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 3: shitty job and you're in a in no relationship other 325 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: than with your right hand is because of this blockage 326 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 3: or bad energy And then at that point's the pivot 327 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 3: or the upsell. At that point, suddenly the very affordable 328 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 3: visit to the fortune teller gets a lot more expensive 329 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 3: because they get you by a little you know, maybe 330 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 3: forty to fifty bucks to get a reading.

Every once in a while, 388 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 3: somebody in the government tries to step. 389 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: In and say, well, wait a minute. 390 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 3: And what they'll often do is they they've actually partner 391 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 3: with lawyers and they'll use these psychological tricks and all that, 392 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 3: but they'll seem authentic, but they operate on the margins, 393 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 3: on the fringes where they'll sell it in the fine 394 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 3: print as for entertainment purposes only for entertainment purposes only. 395 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: And when you. 396 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 3: Toss that phrase in, it makes it, from a legal standpoint, 397 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 3: very difficult to charge someone with a crime because they say, well, 398 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 3: it's for entertainment purposes only. You signed the contract. And 399 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 3: it's only in the most blatant occurrences where they can 400 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 3: get somebody for stealing money, because oftentimes the people will 401 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 3: just write the check and they'll transfer the money to 402 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 3: the account, and it's like it's wild and so everyone's 403 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 3: our authorities try to crack down on some is, but 404 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 3: the small time players that don't don't make a one 405 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 3: hundred thousand per client or something like that, they make 406 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 3: a good amount of money. To the phrase of the week, 407 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 3: The phrase of the week is nitty gritty, you know, 408 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,719 Speaker 3: getting down to the most important part of something is 409 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 3: the nitty gritty. Like this podcast, the entire thing is 410 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 3: getting down to the nitty gritty, unless it's not so. 411 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 3: The phrase the nitty gritty, let's go back in the 412 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 3: hot tub time machine. It actually originated. It is believed 413 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 3: in the United States, and it's not that old a phrase. 414 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 3: The exact origin is a bit of a mystery, but 415 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: there are a couple of popular debates on where the 416 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 3: phrase the nitty gritty came from. But it has been 417 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 3: in the vernacular a very colorful way to describe the 418 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 3: most essential part of something, the core, get down to 419 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 3: the most important information or details or whatever. 420 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: So the phrase. 421 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 3: Nitty gritty originated in the African American communities, and they 422 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 3: claim the roots of it likely came from like the 423 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 3: slavery era in American history, and they the debate is like, 424 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 3: where did it exactly come from? 425 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: Is it linked to. 426 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 3: The word nits, the eggs of lice and grits? 427 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: Is that what it is? They're not sure about that. 428 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 3: But where the word really took off was in New 429 00:25:52,840 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 3: Orleans in jazz jazz music, and the term started really 430 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 3: going for it in the nineteen fifties, Like the mid 431 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 3: twentieth century, nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties, it would pop 432 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 3: up in by then music literature. 433 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: People just use it. 434 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: And but again it mostly started going mainstream because of 435 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 3: jazz and blues in New Orleans, and for people who 436 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 3: were doing jazz and blues in New Orleans at that time, 437 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 3: it meant the most important part of the song. You 438 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 3: got through all the fluff and you got down to 439 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 3: the part of the song which was the most important part. 440 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 3: And in nineteen sixty three it really went mainstream because 441 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 3: there was a song. 442 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: Surely Ellis released her song The Nitty Gritty. 443 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 3: And that put it firmly in the pop culture. 444 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: And there you go. Now there's also a theory. 445 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 3: That nitty gritty didn't you know, didn't come from slavery times. 446 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: It was in the jazz and blues world and that's 447 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: where it took off. 448 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 3: But it's really just a way to kind of mix 449 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 3: words together, kind of like hocus Pocus or helter skelter. 450 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 3: You put nitty gritty in there, and the people that 451 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 3: study words, the linguist people claim it is a classic 452 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 3: trick that the English language and those that speak it love, 453 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 3: where you repeat sounds and it gives a phrase some 454 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 3: wow like razmataz, right, Rasmataz. 455 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: Things like that it works out well, works out well. 456 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 3: So there it is the phrase of the week, nitty gritty, 457 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 3: which the early origin. 458 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: Is up in debate. Was it from the slave times 459 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 1: of the Southern States. 460 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 3: It did start becoming mainstream because of New Orleans jazz 461 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 3: and blues and all that, but we're exactly it recently 462 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 3: became a thing.
