It is parade day in LA And while 126 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 3: I am thrilled that the Lawyers won the World Series, 127 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: I was floating. 128 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: On air when they won. It's great, wonderful. 129 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: I will not be in attendance at the Dodger Parade, 130 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 3: which I believe starts at like eleven o'clock. There's a 131 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: rally at Dodger Stadium. I will not be there because 132 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: I do an overnight show and then a few hours 133 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: later I record a podcast and at some point I 134 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 3: have to sleep because I have things I have to do. 135 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 3: I have like a day and a half off because 136 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 3: I work Friday, and these are first world problems. But 137 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 3: I'm off Friday night all day Saturday, and I'm back 138 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 3: to work on Sunday night. 139 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: So I have like a day and a half where 140 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: I can kind of do what I want. 141 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 3: And I obviously have this podcast, but other than that, 142 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 3: I don't have to prepare for a four hour radio show. 143 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: It's the fifth hour podcast. 144 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: Which is normally you know, thirty thirty five minutes somewhere 145 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: in that ballpark, and so that's typically how long the 146 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: podcast is. So I will not be at the parade today. 147 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 3: But the bums did it. After years of heartbreak mixed 148 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: in with the most ridiculous, outstanding, marvelous championship run during 149 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: a global pandemic, the Boys in Blue are back on top, 150 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four world champions and they slayed the 151 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: Mets and the Yankees and the Padres on their way 152 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 3: to the championship. The parade this morning. Now, I want 153 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 3: to go back to was it Wednesday? 154 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: I guess it was Wednesday. 155 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 3: It was Game five and on Wednesday, I don't eat. 156 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 3: That's my day. I used to fast multiple days. I 157 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: don't eat on Wednesday. And the reason I don't need 158 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 3: on Wednesday is because the TV shows on Thursday. So 159 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: I don't want to look bloated, and I'm very worried 160 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 3: about my girlish figure. So what I did was I 161 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: settled in on the sofa my laptop and I'm scanning around. 162 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 3: I'm like looking for things that are interesting to me 163 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: that I want to talk about from football and the 164 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 3: different sports. And as I'm doing that, starting to get 165 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: ready for the show. In my head, I'm trying to 166 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 3: map out what's the show going to. 167 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: Look like tonight. 168 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 3: No, I don't know what's going to happen in the 169 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 3: baseball game, and I don't know what's gonna happen to 170 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 3: all these games and whatnot, but in my head I've 171 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: mapped out. I'm like, all right, if the Dodgers lose, 172 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: there's a game six. So in my head, I'm like, 173 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: all right, we'll do one monologue on baseball. We'll get 174 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: it all in to an hour of baseball, and then 175 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 3: I'll move on to football. There's some other stories that 176 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 3: I like. And then the Dodgers came back and I 177 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 3: was like, all right, you know this is worthy of 178 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 3: two hours. This is an hour on the Dodgers, and 179 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: then I'll do a monologue on the Yankees. And so 180 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 3: I switched up the show. I had some other stuff 181 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 3: that I was going to talk about Wednesday night, and 182 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: we didn't get to it, which is fine. I mean 183 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 3: I had not put the show to bed, and as 184 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: I made the decision, you know what we need to do. 185 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 3: We need to talk baseball for a couple hours. And 186 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: so we did, and then we talked to football and 187 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 3: all that. But right as the game and I had 188 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 3: a couple of text chains going. As I was getting 189 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 3: ready for the show, I'm watching the Dodger game. It's 190 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 3: called multitasking, compartmentalize. So I got the game on the TV, 191 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: I got my laptop. People are texting me throughout the game. 192 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: I got Yankee fans, I got Roberto the bus driver, 193 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: some other Dodger fans. I've got some people that aren't 194 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: baseball fans, that are just trolls. 195 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: Hey, the Dodgers are down five nothing, are you getting worried? 196 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: You know that kind of stuff. And then the tide turned. 197 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: That's right, the tide turned. So how did it turn 198 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: How did the whole thing turn? Side was well, if 199 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 3: you forgot a big thanks to Freddie Freeman for the 200 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: RBI hit, but Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees 201 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:43,239 Speaker 3: who fundamentally exploded and it was marvelous, the sizzle, the swagger, 202 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 3: all those home runs early for the Yankees, and it. 203 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: All went away. It all went away. 204 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 3: And so, as I mentioned, after the game ended, I 205 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: had to hop in the Malamobile because I knew things 206 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: were going to get crazy in Southern California. I had 207 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: a very long drive from the North Woods to the 208 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: Mothership in Sherman Oaks. So I'm I'm driving and as 209 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 3: I drove, I saw a spectacle that you see on 210 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: the fourth of July. On each side of the highway. 211 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: It was a rockets red clear We're talking Disney style fireworks. 212 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 3: It reminded me of the COVID year, very similar when 213 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 3: the Dodgers won in twenty twenty and everyone was under 214 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 3: house arrest and people were going out and shooting. 215 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: Off Disneyland fireworks. 216 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 3: Now, one of the things if you're not in Southern California, 217 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: based on the podcast numbers, a lot of you are not. 218 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 3: We're obviously not that far away from Mexico and in Tijuana, 219 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: just across the border from San Diego. They must make 220 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: so much money selling these fireworks. It's got to be 221 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 3: insane how much money they make. Because everyone all over 222 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 3: southern California was shooting these things off, and I got 223 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 3: a little video I try to record, which is you 224 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 3: shouldn't do, you shouldn't do. I tried to record it 225 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 3: on my phone. I got a little clip of it, 226 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: but it didn't really do it justice how many people 227 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 3: were shooting the fireworks off. They were everywhere. And then 228 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: my phone starts blowing up and it's people celebrating the Dodgers, whining, 229 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: people congratulating like I played a role in it, which 230 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: was kind of cool. And then I started getting requests 231 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 3: to do interviews, and I'm trying to get ready for 232 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 3: the show, and I got two monologues. I still got 233 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 3: to do put notes down. But my guy Darcy messages me, 234 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: the Great Darcy walder Grave, New Zealand radio legend. He said, hey, mate, 235 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 3: the Dodgers have won. I would like to have you 236 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 3: on my show. I can't turn down Darcy. Darcy is 237 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 3: my guy. I've known Darcy for years and he used 238 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 3: to put me on every week and it was great 239 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 3: and wonderful. So Darcy called me up. I said, all right, 240 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 3: I'm in, and a couple of other people called and 241 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 3: they wanted me to go on. 242 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: I even went on. 243 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 3: A podcast hosted by Ryan Burschinger Keep Trying, Ryan Bow 244 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 3: the Show and Monsei. They have a baseball podcast like 245 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 3: a Dodger podcast, And I was on with that. But 246 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 3: I still had to get ready for my show, and 247 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 3: so I went to the very back, very back of 248 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: the old Fox Sports Radio studio. 249 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: I sat there, lights down. 250 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 3: I was just contemplating everything I wanted to throw out 251 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 3: and things I wanted to say, and I was looking 252 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 3: for more things that I thought were interesting that I 253 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: could talk about. Put the bullet points down a lot 254 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 3: of moving parts, but that view majestic driving down the highway, 255 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: You're going sixty five seventy five mile an hour and 256 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 3: on both sides as wild. And then as we did 257 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 3: the show overnight, we were documenting all of the debauchery 258 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: and there was a lot that bus that they burned 259 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 3: up the lunatics. There were several stores that were looted, 260 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 3: and it was it was terrible. 261 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: Is what it was lawlessness. 262 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 3: The animals were out running around running my I I 263 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 3: think there were really Dodger fans. I mean, there's people 264 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 3: looking for a reason to steal shoes or jewelry or whatever. 265 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: They were stealing. 266 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 3: But it's a shame because most of the people were 267 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 3: just in a celebratory mood, want to have a good time, 268 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 3: and then these knuckleheads go in there and they ruin 269 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: everything and make everyone look bad. But that's the story 270 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 3: of you know, the story of the world. I mean, 271 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 3: it's just a preview of coming attractions. I hope I'm wrong, 272 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 3: but the election is a few days away, and something 273 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 3: tells me that there'll be more of that coming up 274 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: next week. Now at the tone the time will be. 275 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 3: If you're of a certain age, you know exactly what 276 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 3: that is. That was a big deal. Before everyone had 277 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 3: a watch on their phone. It was important. You needn't 278 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 3: know the time. So I bring this up because we 279 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 3: have new information out the malor meet and greet Canza 280 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 3: City style.

They're like, 347 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm planning. 348 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 3: On going, but my kid's got a soccer game, or 349 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 3: my daughters in cheerleading and she's got this that or 350 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 3: the other thing or banned or whatever. 351 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: I understand. 352 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 3: I totally get it. We're there if you can make it. 353 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 3: I'd love to see you.

I'm not sure about that. 357 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 3: But again, I'll be joined by my radio homeboy, Bob 358 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 3: Fesco from ninety six point five to the fantasies of 359 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 3: the morning show. There and that is the FM Blowtorch, 360 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 3: the home of the Royals and the Chiefs. So it's 361 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 3: gonna be a lot, a lot of fun time. Now 362 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 3: for the phrase of the week. As you know, this 363 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 3: is a big time podcast unless it's not. But I 364 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 3: love words. I try to use different words. I'm not 365 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 3: really book educated, meaning I wasn't a great student and 366 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 3: had some issues with getting up in the morning to 367 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: go to school. But I've continued to learn as i've 368 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: gone further through life, and I try to learn something 369 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 3: new every day. 370 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: I love words though right, and I try to think 371 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: that I'm not just whistling in the dark. 372 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 3: That changing up my lexicon and adding new verbiage kind 373 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 3: of fun. I enjoy it. And so you guys, you 374 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 3: know who you are, have been wonderful. You've helped me out. 375 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 3: For example, Marcus who is insane, Antonio rights and he says, 376 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 3: dear Ben and Danny g. Growing up as a kid 377 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 3: can be tough tough enough, but when you are a 378 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 3: military brat and have a stepdad who is a hardcore 379 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 3: army guy, it can be even harder. Over and over 380 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: again over the years, I heard the phrase don't do 381 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 3: a half assed job, do it right the first time. 382 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 3: No matter what the chore was, it was never right 383 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 3: the first time because I always apparently did it half asked. 384 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 3: I've always wondered where that phrase came from. Can you 385 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: please enlighten us? Thank you for not just being an 386 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 3: entertain show, but an educational one as well. The Real 387 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 3: Fifth Hour podcast deserves a Marconi Award for. 388 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: That, if nothing else. I don't think they give the 389 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: Marconi to podcasts. 390 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 3: There's like podcast awards, but the only podcasts that ever 391 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: seem to win those are like Joe Rogan, Travis Kelcey. 392 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 3: Like the biggest named people win podcast awards. Even at 393 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 3: our company, iHeart like the top money makers in terms 394 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 3: of the people they pay the most money to. They're 395 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 3: the ones that end up winning all the podcast awards. 396 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 3: But I would love to win some dopey award. I 397 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 3: feel like the chicken figures named after me is big enough. 398 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 3: But thanks to Marcus. This is from Marcus in San Antonio. 399 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 3: So Marcus, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now Marcus, 400 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 3: to get to the meat of the matter, Marcus, the 401 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: phrase again, don't do a half assed job, do it 402 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 3: right the first time. So the half assed part refers 403 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 3: to having your pants obviously not done up all the 404 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 3: way blah blah blah. 405 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: You're showing half your ass. 406 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 3: If you are in that state, you are likely to 407 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 3: be unprepared for the day's of work or whatever, and 408 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 3: incompetent and all that. So here's what I found. The phrase, 409 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 3: depending on which part of the dark web you look at, 410 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 3: goes all the way back. The earliest instance of half 411 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 3: asked being used was in a book by Thomas O'Brien 412 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 3: and Oliver Dierfendorf General Orders of the US War Department, 413 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 3: embracing the years eighteen sixty one, eighteen sixty two, and 414 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 3: eighteen sixty three. So it does sound Marcus, you said 415 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 3: your stepdad was in the military and you were a 416 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 3: military brat. So and I know what that's like. By 417 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 3: the way, not that I was in the military, but 418 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: I grew up. When I was growing up, I was 419 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: surrounded by two military bases, and I went to elementary 420 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 3: school and junior high and high school with a lot 421 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 3: of kids that were in the military, and they had 422 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 3: lived all over like they you know, Germany and in Asia, Texas, 423 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 3: South Carolina, And as a kid, it was like, wow, dude, 424 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 3: you move every couple of years. 425 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: That's wild. It was crazy. 426 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 3: Anyway, back to the point here, the phrase don't do 427 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: a half assed job, do it right the first time 428 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 3: it does appear to come from US military slang all 429 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 3: the way back to the eighteen sixties, although there was 430 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 3: one one place I looked that said this actually goes 431 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 3: back further than that that it goes it predates the 432 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 3: US military. Now, most seemed to think that it was 433 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 3: a mispro denunciation of half hazard, half ass, half hazard, whatnot. 434 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: But it goes back to the early eighteen sixties. So 435 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 3: you think about what was going on, what combat was 436 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 3: going on, what America was like. 437 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: In the eighteen sixties, and you can. 438 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 3: Let your mind wander and I did look up. I 439 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 3: fell down this rabbit hole of. 440 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: Military slang. And there's a lot. 441 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 3: Of people that love this podcast. You know who you are, 442 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 3: in military whatever. There are so many phrases that started 443 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 3: from the Army, Marines, the Air Force, the Navy and 444 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 3: have become part of the lexicon. It's pretty remarkable when 445 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 3: you think about, you know, stuff just in the military, 446 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 3: and then it spreads out and it just becomes mainstream 447 00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 3: for people that have no affiliation at all with the military. 448 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 3: So again the phrase of the week, don't do a 449 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 3: half fast job, do it right the first time. 450 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: The earliest reference there was one report said the. 451 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 3: Seventeen notits but in modern context it is from a 452 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 3: book by Thomas O'Brien and Oliver Diefendorf, General Orders of 453 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 3: the US War Department, embracing the years eighteen sixty one, 454 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 3: eighteen sixty two, and eighteen sixty three. 455 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: Time now for some foody fun booty fun. 456 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 3: Hooray for food. We all got to eat. So a 457 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 3: couple stories here, and this one does relate to the 458 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 3: World Series. Now, the Dodgers parade is later today. Maybe 459 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 3: it's already happened by the time you hear this podcast, 460 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 3: but it is today and or was today, And if 461 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 3: you watch the World Series, you likely noticed that there 462 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 3: were people that stole bases, but there was no promotion 463 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 3: to get a taka. And that's because Taco Bell Steal 464 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 3: a base, steal a taco. Not so fast, my friend, 465 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 3: Yeah no, where's the beef. Taco Bell no longer an 466 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 3: official sponsor of Major League Baseball, and as a result, 467 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 3: the steel a base Steal a Taco promotion did not 468 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 3: take place during the World Series. According to The Business Journal, 469 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 3: the Sports Business Journal, which I always get my news from, 470 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 3: they reported that Taco Bell was not on the sponsor 471 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 3: roster and that partnership had lasted for twenty years, going 472 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: back to the year twenty four They first started that 473 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 3: steel a base Steal a Taco gimmick in twenty fourteen. 474 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 3: So no more that I remember that there were years 475 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 3: of his a big deal. Who is going to be 476 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 3: the guy to steal the base and get everyone a 477 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 3: taco and all that, but no more so they didn't 478 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 3: have that during the World Series. 479 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: You didn't miss it. 480 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 3: Also, TGI Fridays now TGI Friday's at one point was 481 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 3: a big deal, but not anymore. It's nearing bankruptcy now, 482 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 3: so we'll see if it survives or completely goes away. 483 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 3: Chipotle says, this is great. So remember this. We talked 484 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 3: about this on Footy fund. This goes back maybe six 485 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 3: or seven months, maybe longer. So there was this thing 486 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 3: where food influencers basically you and I, but you hold 487 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 3: the phone and record the people at Chipotle while they 488 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 3: record while they're making their food, your food, the burritos 489 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 3: or whatever. 490 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: The bulls. 491 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 3: So they they realized, the people realized who were doing this, 492 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 3: that if you record the people at Chipotle, they'll give 493 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 3: you more food. They'll give you a little more meat, 494 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 3: a little more cheese, a little more lettuce, whatever you want, beans, 495 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 3: and so the CEO of the company, I think it 496 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 3: was in the CEO if I remember the story correctly, 497 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 3: as I understand it, the person running Chipotle is like, listen, 498 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 3: we are going to make sure everyone gets consistent and 499 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 3: generous portions of our delicious food made a big deal 500 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 3: about it.
