Speaker 1: Cut booms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of
Speaker 2: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 2: with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 3: Malor and Danny g Radio. And we've made it to
Speaker 3: the end of the road, which is the start of
Speaker 3: another road. The road does not end, The audio road
Speaker 3: does not end. It is the weekend, the kickoff of
Speaker 3: the Fifth Hour podcast, the vintage of the first weekend
Speaker 3: in the month of April.
Speaker 1: Here we are, We've made it to the fourth month
Speaker 1: of the year.
Speaker 3: We are just a little pimple on an elephant's ass.
Speaker 3: There are like thirty something thousand podcasts at iHeart, but
Speaker 3: somehow the Fifth Hour podcast actually does pretty well, much
Speaker 3: better than the vast majority. And we actually have people
Speaker 3: listen to this podcast. Don't tell anyone because then they
Speaker 3: won't listen. But here we are on the fourth day
Speaker 3: of April a very interesting day in the history of
Speaker 3: the United States. On this day in nineteen seventy three,
Speaker 3: the World Trade Center, the original the Twin Towers, the
Speaker 3: one that unfortunately met its demise on nine to eleven.
Speaker 3: But nineteen seventy three the World Trade Center opened in
Speaker 3: New York City, Lower Manhattan. Also on this date, in
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty eight, it was the end of Martin Luther King.
Speaker 3: He was assassinated on this day in nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 3: And there's a bunch of other things that happened, but
Speaker 3: I would say those are the two most interesting, most
Speaker 3: interesting events that happened on this day. And there are
Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy one more of these days until
Speaker 3: the end of the year. So we have two hundred
Speaker 3: and seventy one more days. We've made it through ninety
Speaker 3: four days of the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: So there you go on this podcast.
Speaker 3: What you have tuned into for some reason, we have
Speaker 3: not good fortune, but bad fortune. We've got the phrase
Speaker 3: of the week, some foody fun as well, and whatever
Speaker 3: else pops up. I did want to mention while I'm
Speaker 3: talking about events and today's the day, and these things
Speaker 3: have happened. It is also National Picky Eater's Day, and
Speaker 3: I've been accused wrongfully of being a picky eater. The
Speaker 3: way I approach life, we are here for just seconds
Speaker 3: in the big picture of things, and then we get
Speaker 3: tossed into a box and they put dirt on top
Speaker 3: of us, and then that's it. Game over. I want
Speaker 3: to enjoy what I'm eating. I like what I like,
Speaker 3: and that's the way we do things. But today's National
Speaker 3: Picky Eater's Day and some fun facts for alf the
Speaker 3: alien opinter to back up.
Speaker 1: What exactly this day is for now.
Speaker 3: Supposedly, the origins of National Picky Eater's Day is a
Speaker 3: day that is not about celebrating not eating certain foods.
Speaker 3: It is actually a day to try to get your kids,
Speaker 3: because normally it's the kids you're trying to get to
Speaker 3: eat healthy and all that stuff. So it's a day
Speaker 3: to celebrate these small victories in life. And a recent
Speaker 3: survey found that at most meal time issues with food.
Speaker 3: The coniption fit happens because your kid doesn't want to
Speaker 3: eat veggies. That's almost forty percent of the time. Thirty
Speaker 3: seven percent of the time, they estimate kids say ixnay
Speaker 3: on the veggie A not interested. They say about thirty
Speaker 3: three percent of the time, the kid's like, I'm not
Speaker 3: eating that. It doesn't smell good. And they say about
Speaker 3: thirty two percent of the time the kid doesn't eat
Speaker 3: it because they don't like the way it looks, the
Speaker 3: presentation of the food. And then roughly fourteen percent of
Speaker 3: the time they say, it's just the kid doesn't want
Speaker 3: to try something new, and that's me.
Speaker 1: I like what I like, and that's it.
Speaker 3: And the first ever picky eater probably goes back I
Speaker 3: don't know, the prehistoric times and all that, and I
Speaker 3: can imagine that the kid didn't want to eat berries,
Speaker 3: and it's like, I like the meat I'm eating, I
Speaker 3: don't eat berries, And that was it. Picky eater actually
Speaker 3: first became a thing, you know, I like words. We
Speaker 3: have the phrase of the week. We'll get too later
Speaker 3: in this podcast. But the phrase picky eater first appeared
Speaker 3: in the modern lexicon some fifty five years ago, nineteen seventy,
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy, and the phrase made it into the normal
Speaker 3: range of.
Speaker 1: Discussion, and it started that year.
Speaker 3: By the nineteen sixties and seventies, fussy eating was widespread
Speaker 3: and it made Doctor Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham a
Speaker 3: best seller, and that because the people could not get
Speaker 3: their kids to eat.
Speaker 1: I guess there was.
Speaker 3: It must have been a boom in the sixties in
Speaker 3: different foods and the frozen food thing, and that kind
Speaker 3: of took off in that time, and one thing led
Speaker 3: to another. There's actually been a bunch of studies that
Speaker 3: have been done in all this.
Speaker 1: They say that.
Speaker 3: Fifty nine percent of kids are picky eaters. It's more
Speaker 3: likely that your kid is not going to like what
Speaker 3: you're serving, and there's a negotiation.
Speaker 1: It's like a hostage situation.
Speaker 3: And my dear old mom she still be resting in peace,
Speaker 3: but man, I put my mom through the wringer. She
Speaker 3: would serve always what she was taught, a balance meal,
Speaker 3: protein like a meat or a fish or chicken, and
Speaker 3: then we'd have like a starch of potato, but we'd
Speaker 3: always have vegetables. My mom eat a lot of peas,
Speaker 3: a lot of peas, and I did not like peas.
Speaker 3: Sam I am and Mom I am, and I wouldn't
Speaker 3: eat the peas. And we would have very tense situations
Speaker 3: where my mom, and she was really kind of the
Speaker 3: gatekeeper in the family, and it was one of those
Speaker 3: situations where my dad would just get up and leave
Speaker 3: the table, and it would be like a standoff between
Speaker 3: me and my mom.
Speaker 1: And she's like, you're not leaving the.
Speaker 3: Table, Benjamin until you eat those vegetables. And I'm like,
Speaker 3: all right, I'm not going anywhere. I'll sit right here.
Speaker 3: I got nothing to do, and and we just kind
Speaker 3: of try to negotiate my mom withou. Then we'll just
Speaker 3: eat a little bit, try something, you know, just kind
Speaker 3: of gradually try a little bit. You'll like it, you know,
Speaker 3: And then then of course it ends up like, well,
Speaker 3: why don't I just we had spaghetti because I a
Speaker 3: lot of spaghetti when I was a kid, or mac
Speaker 3: and cheese, the box kind with the powder, which I
Speaker 3: thought was authentic Italian food growing up.
Speaker 1: But anyway, my mom will be like, all right, so
Speaker 1: why don't I.
Speaker 3: We mix the vegetables with the pasta and you will'n't
Speaker 3: even be able to taste it, and you'll be all
Speaker 3: about it, and yeah, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: I don't like the color green.
Speaker 3: I'm good, that's it. So anyway, Happy National Picky Eater's Day.
Speaker 3: Flipping the page on that I fell down a rabbit
Speaker 3: hole recently, and I'd like to share it with the class.
Speaker 3: And since you're a member of the class and you're
Speaker 3: still listening to this podcast, some I don't know eight nine,
Speaker 3: ten minutes in whatever it is, I'm not keeping track.
Speaker 1: So not good fortune, but bad fortune.
Speaker 3: And I actually want to thank a listener who sent
Speaker 3: me down this rabbit hole. Checking my email. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm very bad about writing back and all that. Some
Speaker 3: of you are very persistent and continue to pester me.
Speaker 3: And I got an email from a guy that lives
Speaker 3: in Florida, Mike, who is I think in the Orlando area.
Speaker 3: I could be completely long the town he mentioned.
Speaker 1: And I don't remember it right now.
Speaker 3: I don't have it in front of me, believe I.
Speaker 3: When I was in Florida for spring training with the
Speaker 3: Dodgers years ago, I think I drove through that town
Speaker 3: and I'm pretty sure it's on the path between Orlando
Speaker 3: and verro Beach, but I might be wrong.
Speaker 1: It could be God only knows.
Speaker 3: He could be out near Jed who fled out there
Speaker 3: in the northern part.
Speaker 1: Anyway, So not good fortune, but bad fortune.
Speaker 3: And this was about he hand some questions about fortune
Speaker 3: Telly telling he had fallen. He had sent me a
Speaker 3: story and he was, I guess he had had a
Speaker 3: friend who had fallen for a scam involving fortune tellers.
Speaker 1: And he listens to the show and he he knows
Speaker 1: some of my shtick that I say on the.
Speaker 3: Air, and I'll say I'm a distant relative of Nostradamus
Speaker 3: and friend of Nostradini's.
Speaker 1: It's one of my lines.
Speaker 3: And so he sent me this story and he said,
Speaker 3: I had a friend that fell for this, and I
Speaker 3: want you to, you know, to read read this. And
Speaker 3: then I clicked on it and I read it, and
Speaker 3: then I started reading more and I actually wrote back,
Speaker 3: I said, listen, I hope you understand that that is
Speaker 3: as I said here stick and it's just a gag.
Speaker 3: I know there is no such thing as as accurate
Speaker 3: fortune telling. I am aware of it, and I do
Speaker 3: it kind of in a mocking way. And I hope
Speaker 3: the fact that I throw a friend of Nostradinas. So
Speaker 3: I met at a mallor meet and greet in Seattle.
Speaker 3: I've also used over the years magic eight ball. I've
Speaker 3: actually I've actually jotted down sympathetic it is. I've jotted
Speaker 3: down some magic eight ball sayings like outlook not so.
Speaker 1: Good or without a doubt.
Speaker 3: I've incorporated this nonsense into the to the mount of
Speaker 3: monologues and the different eight ball sayings, different phrases. There
Speaker 3: was a I use the Zoltar machine from there was
Speaker 3: this movie I saw when I was a kid. I
Speaker 3: was younger Tom Hanks movie. He grew up and he
Speaker 3: became it was a grown ass man and it was.
Speaker 1: The machine that gave him the wish.
Speaker 3: And I've quoted Karnak the Magnificent, which is from the
Speaker 3: old Tonight Show, dating myself also. So I've done all
Speaker 3: these nonsense things over the years, really mocking the world
Speaker 3: of fortune telling and someway. This guy sent me some
Speaker 3: information and then I started digging and I wanted to
Speaker 3: share my notes with the class. Think of it as
Speaker 3: a mallor webinar if you will. It is on the web,
Speaker 3: so the fortune telling industry. I did not realize how
Speaker 3: big this is, how massive this is now every town
Speaker 3: I've been to and I've been able to travel a
Speaker 3: lot over my life around just around the United States.
Speaker 3: I don't go out of the We're going to Canada
Speaker 3: for a malor meet and greet here, which is, you know,
Speaker 3: kind of like the same as you know, it's just
Speaker 3: the nicer in Canada. We're going to Vancouver at the
Speaker 3: end of May. More on that at some point this weekend.
Speaker 1: However, so every where.
Speaker 3: I've gone, whether it's Pittsburgh, Boston, Syracuse, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Speaker 3: everywhere I go, I see the fortune teller shop, and
Speaker 3: they're normally in a pretty decent mall or you know,
Speaker 3: one of those like we you have the grocery store,
Speaker 3: you've got the barber shop, and then you've got a
Speaker 3: little spot that is a psychic fortune teller. And it's
Speaker 3: one of those things. It's like how do they afford that?
Speaker 3: Like the rent is not that cheap at these places,
Speaker 3: Like how do they do it?
Speaker 1: How do they put off?
Speaker 3: Anyway, So I started starting reading what the gentleman from
Speaker 3: Florida sent me, and then I started doing some other
Speaker 3: stuff and the fortune telling, tarroot reading, palm reading.
Speaker 1: All that is valued.
Speaker 3: At two point three billion with a B like ben
Speaker 3: two point three billion in the United States, and it
Speaker 3: is estimated this blooming away that across the United States
Speaker 3: there are one hundred and five thousand, over one hundred
Speaker 3: and five thousand businesses that are in that industry, and
Speaker 3: the annual growth rate is around four point three percent,
Speaker 3: and then they estimate the business is booming for a
Speaker 3: lot during COVID, people just worked up and needing help
Speaker 3: and looking anywhere they could.
Speaker 1: Get it pandemic.
Speaker 3: Certainly, it's gone down a little bit since the pandemic,
Speaker 3: but it's continued overall to go up.
Speaker 1: And then you start digging.
Speaker 3: A little deeper and you're like, all right, so what's
Speaker 3: going on? And so the way the scams work, the
Speaker 3: fortune telling scams, is they're able to exploit people who
Speaker 3: are curious, people that are at an emotionally weak spot
Speaker 3: in their life. Essentially, we use the phrase also on
Speaker 3: the show getting that Dumb Money, which is a Wall
Speaker 3: Street phrase, but in fortune telling, I don't know if
Speaker 3: dumb is the right word, because I don't want to
Speaker 3: say everyone that's falling forward is dumb. But your defense
Speaker 3: systems go down.
Speaker 1: At certain points in your life.
Speaker 3: They just do right, whether you lose someone close to you,
Speaker 3: whether you've got a medical problem, maybe you lose your job.
Speaker 3: There's certain points in our life where we do not
Speaker 3: have the defense up the force field. The protection goes away.
Speaker 3: And the way that the fortune telling industry gets customers,
Speaker 3: I guess they call it the hook, right, the hook,
Speaker 3: And how do you get people. It's like doing a
Speaker 3: radio show. Well, a lot of the times in the
Speaker 3: old days, you just get people that would scan the
Speaker 3: radio dial and find you. Not so much anymore. A
Speaker 3: lot of people just happened to be looking for a format.
Speaker 3: We're on Fox Sports Radio. You're a sportsman, you find it.
Speaker 3: Or you're looking for something unique that's on late at night,
Speaker 3: you might find the show.
Speaker 1: But the fortune telling.
Speaker 3: Industry, they'll post ads on street signs and online and
Speaker 3: social media and all that, and they'll offer the tarot
Speaker 3: readings and all the different things and all that stuff,
Speaker 3: and they promised they'll give you information.
Speaker 1: The cold reading thing is.
Speaker 3: I remember there was a guy, James Randy. He died
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, The Amazing Randy. And there
Speaker 3: was a pretty good documentary. Some of it was annoying
Speaker 3: in the documentary, but most of it was pretty good.
Speaker 1: The Amazing Randy. It was recorded near the end of
Speaker 1: his life.
Speaker 3: About the parts I liked were the parts about how
Speaker 3: he tried to expose and he did expose many people
Speaker 3: in this industry. And he had like a if I
Speaker 3: remember correctly, and I haven't seen the documentary in a
Speaker 3: number of years, and I think I recommended it on
Speaker 3: this podcast. But anyway, the Amazing Randy, he had a
Speaker 3: standing offer.
Speaker 1: James Randy.
Speaker 3: He was a magician, and he used to bother him
Speaker 3: that people who were magicians would exploit the fact they
Speaker 3: thought they would teach people that this was real. And
Speaker 3: he's like, well, it's not real, it's magic. We're doing
Speaker 3: a show, we're doing performance art, and it's all right. Anyway,
Speaker 3: So James Randy had a Amazing Randy had an offer
Speaker 3: a million dollars if you could go into a room
Speaker 3: under his conditions, with limited guidelines and prove prove that
Speaker 3: you could actually tell the future.
Speaker 1: Million dollars.
Speaker 3: And despite one hundred thousand businesses offering services about predicting
Speaker 3: the future, sure nobody, uh, nobody got it right. Nobody
Speaker 3: took the offer. Well, I don't know nobody took the office.
Speaker 3: I think one one or two people tried, but they
Speaker 3: didn't succeed in that. And so the cold reading thing
Speaker 3: is and I think this was also in the documentary.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of guess work.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of vague phrases that could apply to anyone.
Speaker 3: Like I see someone in your in your life that
Speaker 3: their name starts with the first name starts with an M.
Speaker 3: I see you you've had something that hasn't gone your
Speaker 3: way recently in your life, which is one of those
Speaker 3: things like you going to a cold reading. Chances are
Speaker 3: you're going there because something didn't go great, you know,
Speaker 3: and you know someone in your world is hiding something
Speaker 3: from you, and I see it's a woman, and you know, and.
Speaker 1: Just you, just you, And then they answer.
Speaker 3: And a lot of times the person that is having
Speaker 3: the cold reading done to them will answer these questions
Speaker 3: and give more information right, and they'll read.
Speaker 1: Body language, and they'll.
Speaker 3: They'll kind of refine and update predictions and things as
Speaker 3: they go through the whole thing. And then eventually they
Speaker 3: if they're good at it, they'll gain your trust. And
Speaker 3: once they've got you, they got you by the balls,
Speaker 3: all right, they got you by it right, because then
Speaker 3: they introduce a different issue, right. And oftentimes, from what
Speaker 3: I've been able to discover from my rabbit hole, you
Speaker 3: can go down your own rabbit hole is they will.
Speaker 3: Once they've got you, they they then bring in a
Speaker 3: curse or negative dark energy or.
Speaker 1: Some kind of spiritual block get to the other.
Speaker 3: Side, and they come up with all these terms and
Speaker 3: they claim that the issue is what's really causing your
Speaker 3: problems in life, that the reason you have a really
Speaker 3: shitty job and you're in a in no relationship other
Speaker 3: than with your right hand is because of this blockage
Speaker 3: or bad energy And then at that point's the pivot
Speaker 3: or the upsell. At that point, suddenly the very affordable
Speaker 3: visit to the fortune teller gets a lot more expensive
Speaker 3: because they get you by a little you know, maybe
Speaker 3: forty to fifty bucks to get a reading. And then
Speaker 3: they got you and you have a good relationship and
Speaker 3: they offer a solution, and then it's like, well wait
Speaker 3: a minute, this.
Speaker 1: Goes a little deeper. It's going to take more work.
Speaker 3: I need to spend more time with you, and I
Speaker 3: have a bunch of rituals and I have a Harry
Speaker 3: Potter spell book, and we need to cleanse this out
Speaker 3: of you.
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden they start upselling right and
Speaker 1: then you're it goes.
Speaker 3: From fifty bucks for a one time fee, and it's
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty dollars, and it's and then it
Speaker 3: keeps getting worse.
Speaker 1: It's like, I didn't think it was this bad.
Speaker 3: And then it's you know it's gonna I'm gonna need
Speaker 3: more candles and crystals and all the other bullshoi and
Speaker 3: all that, and and if you don't play along, they
Speaker 3: then give you a they give.
Speaker 1: You a guilt trip. They're like, wait a minute, you
Speaker 1: don't believe you know, and they they'll warn you.
Speaker 3: They'll be like, oh man, if you don't do this,
Speaker 3: not only are you going to have issues, but people
Speaker 3: around you are going to the bad mojo is going
Speaker 3: to go to them.
Speaker 1: And but if you do it, you know it won't happen.
Speaker 1: And then there's other times.
Speaker 3: They'll be like, hey, wait a minute, you know your
Speaker 3: significant other will will come back or will find them
Speaker 3: or whatever. And so they essentially just take advantage of
Speaker 3: people that are at a week spot. Like I said,
Speaker 3: not necessarily dumb people. In fact, there's some very very successful,
Speaker 3: highly educated people. And it's like people in academia who
Speaker 3: you'd think would know better, and they fall for And
Speaker 3: I've had some friends that are magicians over the years and.
Speaker 1: They've told me. It's like, it's amazing.
Speaker 3: It's like people that you would think would never ever
Speaker 3: go down this road and believe it, believe it.
Speaker 1: And it's the power of.
Speaker 3: The illusion that the magicians have found certain blind spots
Speaker 3: that we all have, and often they're right in front
Speaker 3: of us that we're not paying attention to, and they've
Speaker 3: been able to take it.
Speaker 1: But as far as the fortune teller thing.
Speaker 3: They get you in cheap, they give you vague answers,
Speaker 3: they manipulate you, they build their trust, the trust between
Speaker 3: the client and the person, and then it's.
Speaker 1: Off to the races, right, it's off to the races.
Speaker 3: And the online scams are popular now. Back in the
Speaker 3: old days they had infomercials, the Miss Cleo one the
Speaker 3: most famous.
Speaker 1: These are traveling traveling.
Speaker 3: Gypsies, right going around and doing their thing, and then
Speaker 3: they eventually will disappear at some point, go on to
Speaker 3: the next city and try to do it all over again, right,
Speaker 3: try to do it all over again, and it's very effective,
Speaker 3: works a lot, works a lot, Otherwise there wouldn't be
Speaker 3: so many people doing it now. Every once in a while,
Speaker 3: somebody in the government tries to step.
Speaker 1: In and say, well, wait a minute.
Speaker 3: And what they'll often do is they they've actually partner
Speaker 3: with lawyers and they'll use these psychological tricks and all that,
Speaker 3: but they'll seem authentic, but they operate on the margins,
Speaker 3: on the fringes where they'll sell it in the fine
Speaker 3: print as for entertainment purposes only for entertainment purposes only.
Speaker 1: And when you.
Speaker 3: Toss that phrase in, it makes it, from a legal standpoint,
Speaker 3: very difficult to charge someone with a crime because they say, well,
Speaker 3: it's for entertainment purposes only. You signed the contract. And
Speaker 3: it's only in the most blatant occurrences where they can
Speaker 3: get somebody for stealing money, because oftentimes the people will
Speaker 3: just write the check and they'll transfer the money to
Speaker 3: the account, and it's like it's wild and so everyone's
Speaker 3: our authorities try to crack down on some is, but
Speaker 3: the small time players that don't don't make a one
Speaker 3: hundred thousand per client or something like that, they make
Speaker 3: a good amount of money. To the phrase of the week,
Speaker 3: The phrase of the week is nitty gritty, you know,
Speaker 3: getting down to the most important part of something is
Speaker 3: the nitty gritty. Like this podcast, the entire thing is
Speaker 3: getting down to the nitty gritty, unless it's not so.
Speaker 3: The phrase the nitty gritty, let's go back in the
Speaker 3: hot tub time machine. It actually originated. It is believed
Speaker 3: in the United States, and it's not that old a phrase.
Speaker 3: The exact origin is a bit of a mystery, but
Speaker 3: there are a couple of popular debates on where the
Speaker 3: phrase the nitty gritty came from. But it has been
Speaker 3: in the vernacular a very colorful way to describe the
Speaker 3: most essential part of something, the core, get down to
Speaker 3: the most important information or details or whatever.
Speaker 1: So the phrase.
Speaker 3: Nitty gritty originated in the African American communities, and they
Speaker 3: claim the roots of it likely came from like the
Speaker 3: slavery era in American history, and they the debate is like,
Speaker 3: where did it exactly come from?
Speaker 1: Is it linked to.
Speaker 3: The word nits, the eggs of lice and grits?
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? They're not sure about that.
Speaker 3: But where the word really took off was in New
Speaker 3: Orleans in jazz jazz music, and the term started really
Speaker 3: going for it in the nineteen fifties, Like the mid
Speaker 3: twentieth century, nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties, it would pop
Speaker 3: up in by then music literature.
Speaker 1: People just use it.
Speaker 3: And but again it mostly started going mainstream because of
Speaker 3: jazz and blues in New Orleans, and for people who
Speaker 3: were doing jazz and blues in New Orleans at that time,
Speaker 3: it meant the most important part of the song. You
Speaker 3: got through all the fluff and you got down to
Speaker 3: the part of the song which was the most important part.
Speaker 3: And in nineteen sixty three it really went mainstream because
Speaker 3: there was a song.
Speaker 1: Surely Ellis released her song The Nitty Gritty.
Speaker 3: And that put it firmly in the pop culture.
Speaker 1: And there you go. Now there's also a theory.
Speaker 3: That nitty gritty didn't you know, didn't come from slavery times.
Speaker 1: It was in the jazz and blues world and that's
Speaker 1: where it took off.
Speaker 3: But it's really just a way to kind of mix
Speaker 3: words together, kind of like hocus Pocus or helter skelter.
Speaker 3: You put nitty gritty in there, and the people that
Speaker 3: study words, the linguist people claim it is a classic
Speaker 3: trick that the English language and those that speak it love,
Speaker 3: where you repeat sounds and it gives a phrase some
Speaker 3: wow like razmataz, right, Rasmataz.
Speaker 1: Things like that it works out well, works out well.
Speaker 3: So there it is the phrase of the week, nitty gritty,
Speaker 3: which the early origin.
Speaker 1: Is up in debate. Was it from the slave times
Speaker 1: of the Southern States.
Speaker 3: It did start becoming mainstream because of New Orleans jazz
Speaker 3: and blues and all that, but we're exactly it recently
Speaker 3: became a thing. That's the great, great unknown. Time out
Speaker 3: for some foody fun. Hooray for food e fun. That's right,
Speaker 3: foody foody fun.
Speaker 1: Well, if you like Krispy Kreme, good news, they have
Speaker 1: a new donut, not a diet donut. It's the Fruity
Speaker 1: Pebbles donut.
