Welcome into the podcast dojo. It 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.120 is a Friday, October twenty seventh. As we are doing 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.120 this in real time, Ben Mahler, and that would be 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:51.559 me talking to the third person and Danny G Radio. Hello, Danny, 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:56.680 yo yo, Yeah, Ben loves himself some Ben, Yes, exactly. Well, 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.560 we were just catching up. We had a great meeting 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.680 this week Danny about the State Radio and it was 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.320 really it was really fun. I had it was a 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.080 hearty it was a hearty conversation, a couple of radio 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.759 guys just breaking down the nuts and bolts, the meat 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.840 and potatoes, the guts of the radio business. And I 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.200 love I love conversations like that, Danny. I don't have 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:19.720 many of those conversations. 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.400 We're losing another radio pro to a school district job. 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.319 I know there's pensions involved, but it just kind of 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:32.600 blows because how many of our friends been have said 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.679 peace out to radio and the broadcasting business and have 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:42.280 moved on to other jobs. I'm talking decades, yeah, three 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.280 now for us where we're on the third decade of 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.360 some of our friends saying later, see you on the 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:48.960 other side. 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.440 Yeah, it's wild, And I gotta tell you, I have 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.680 not lost the passion. I still get excited when I 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.480 walk into the radio station. I do. But the problem 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:04.640 is a lot of these situations, it's family, it's ours, 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.280 or it's a combination of that. And also obviously money 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.600 is isn't a big factor, but it's you know, as 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.040 far as like doing the job, I don't know, man, 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.560 I don't know there's anything else I would want to 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.920 do that I would I mean other than just having 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.079 I mean obviously I didn't have. If nobody would hire me, 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.280 i'd have to get like a real job. But for 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.520 me to choose to leave this, I don't know, man, 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:30.920 that's a tough that's a tough road. 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.760 My favorite thing is I've had family members and friends 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.120 ask me what network are you going to go to next, 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.440 and I like, is you really That's the weird part too, 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:47.040 of the state of broadcasting because obviously our business got 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.200 screwed up a couple of decades ago as Clinton was 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.639 on his way out of office. That's a whole other 0:02:52.720 --> 0:03:00.000 story with consolidation and deregulation. Yeah, regulation and the whole 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:04.239 start of basically a monopoly in radio. But that's a 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.160 whole nother podcast episode. There were a lot of guys 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.400 who saw the writing on the wall at that point 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.680 in time and did a pivot and went to some 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.920 other business or industry to work in. But when you 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.519 do sports radio, what are you going to do? Ben 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.200 move to Connecticut and work for ESPN. No offense to them, 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.600 but their radio network has stunk for a little while now. 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.840 Yeah, that's one of those things. Like when we started 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.600 Fox Sports Radio over twenty years ago, people kind of 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.080 poo pooed it. They were like, yeah, ESPN was the 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.400 king of sports radio. I mean they had the biggest, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.920 the biggest names in sports radio all worked there. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.680 Yeah, back in the day, what was it, Mike and Mike, Yeah, 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.240 Dan Patrick was there. 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.520 Tony Kornheiser did a show for a long time than 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:57.280 Cowherd replaced him. You know, there were this huge, huge 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:02.320 names and they were heard everywhere. And now that's you know, 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.440 there's still hurt a lot of places. But Fox Sports 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.560 Radio in the radio business is the number one radio network, 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.680 not even really close. I mean, I'm obviously biased. I 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.440 think we're both biased here, but the numbers speak for themselves, right, 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.440 I mean you can actually have we have data to 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.320 back it up. I mean it's not now. We do 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:20.800 have a lot of guys that used to work there, 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.240 you know, I even work People don't know this, but 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.760 when I was starting in San Diego, I was a 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.880 one of my first you know gigs. I was a 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.560 reporter and one of my clients was ESPN Radio. I 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.680 was a stringer and when ESPN Radio started, they only 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.159 had weekend programming. They had the Sports Babe during the 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.560 week and on the weekends they had a show with 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.600 Chuck Wilson, Tony Bruno, and Peter Brown. Peter Brown is 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.559 one of my favorite radio people, but I have Tony 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.640 two and so they did they did like a seven 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.840 hour show on Friday and Saturday, and I was one 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.960 of the people they used as a reporter in LA 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.520 Like I'd go to different games and give them back. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.559 In those days, we'd call up and give scores and stuff. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:02.640 So I did that and all. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.000 But oh, you were a stringer. 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.760 Yeah, I was a stringer and I got paid doing that, 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.200 and I get paid to have get guests on and 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.640 things like that. But a long time ago. But now 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.880 it's like, you know, it's Fox Sports Radio is the 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.960 premier sports radio network and all that, but it's just 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.280 a wacky world. And outside of ESPN, I mean, you 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.440 look around, there's there's a small network and I think 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.960 it's in Houston. I think, uh, And I don't even 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.039 really know. Outside of that, I don't I don't know. 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.039 There's much like It's the equivalent to you being Patrick 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.280 Mahomes on the Chiefs and your friends saying, what's team 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:39.480 he going to play for? Next? 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:40.880 Yeah? 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.160 No, I'm here, I'm here. 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.120 Yeah. People, It's it's hard to explain to people that 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.520 are on the outside of the business what it's like, 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.680 because yeah, I always get the why don't you do 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.880 a show during the day, and I have to explain. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.760 I'm like, listen, you know, you don't pick the time, 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:04.640 and there are negatives and positives to everything, and you 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.880 have to weigh everything. I'm more of a night person 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.400 than a day person, and you know, the money's a factor, 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.799 but you have to weigh Everything's all variables in life, 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.400 and you have to drop some knowledge on people and 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.159 explain here's how it works. And you know, you're actually 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.520 on more radio stations when you're on late at night 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.400 and you are during the day less people listening on 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.040 each station, but you're on more stations, so you got 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.560 to explain all that. But anyway, and it's all different 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.240 now too, because when we started there was no podcasting, 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.839 and now everything's recorded, so you get more than one 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.560 chance to hear I kind of liked the old days 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.040 when we did radio and if nobody heard it, they 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:41.760 could that was it. It was gone. You know, it 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.840 was like quitting time. Once we got done with the show, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.320 that was it. You're done that. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:50.400 They called it appointment listening. Yeah, if you missed it, man, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.680 you missed that appointment and you were in a doctor's 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.760 office with them telling you to buzz off, you suck, 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.320 you're late, You're out of here. No appointment for you. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.400 Yeah exactly. You're like, yes, what you do with traffic 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.839 on the ones you had to tune in on one 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.400 just to hear the traffic and whether on the fives 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.160 or Sports on the fifteens or whatever whatever it might 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:13.480 have been. So I a couple things that we can 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.960 get into the booster rocket. We've got commandeered, and I 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.760 have a daily double for the word of the week, 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.280 and we'll see what else we have time for. But 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:27.760 shocking that it is already Week eight of the NFL 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.760 season that kicked off with a Thursday night game. I 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.679 would like to thank Baker Mayfield and the Bucks last night, Danny. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.440 I don't know if you saw the game, but the 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.239 Buccaneers were down by two scores in the fourth quarter 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.920 and Baker Mayfield the Bucks took a They took seven minutes, 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.080 They had a seven and a half minutes. They had 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:49.520 a seventeen play drive methodically la la la la la 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.440 la la la la la la, lollygagging down the field. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.400 Oh yeah, Gamblers across America had big smiles on their faces. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.800 Yeah. I had the Bucks plus the points and I 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:01.960 got it. I think it was eight and a half 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.240 what I got if I remember correctly, it got it 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.840 went higher than that. And I'm watching I'm like, what 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.000 are they doing? Like are they trying to win the game, 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.880 and then they got bailed out by penalties from Buffalo 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.960 a couple of times on the drive. But the lack 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:21.680 of urgency is stunning, Like what is Todd Bowles doing 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.080 on the cyclises Like you have to kind of pick 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.160 up the base, you need to scores. And then they 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.080 still had a chance to win. If Chris Godwin had 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:35.000 turned around sooner, not to belabor the point, the Bucks 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.040 would have won the game out right by an extra point. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.560 So anyway, but as far as get to the point, 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.400 because Week eight bunch of games. Obviously everyone's playing. It's weird. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.800 We've had a bunch of bye weeks this week in 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.200 the NFL. Everyone's playing, and then they get back to 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.120 the bye weeks after this, so it's an I don't 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.200 know why they're doing that. No, they didn't ask me, 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.880 they didn't consult me. So anyway, this week we amazingly 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.600 not long is it week eight? I can alert all 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.760 of the podcast listeners, all of you, I'm talking to 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.199 you and the other person over there, that the show, 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:11.000 my TV show has still not been canceled, that it's 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.840 still on the air. And yesterday was hanging out at 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:19.559 Universal studios taping the show there. It is very cool. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.760 You always cool, got there early, hung out for a 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:23.840 few hours. 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.040 Have you seen anybody surrounding your show yawning. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.800 Well, that's the executives that that areying. But so we 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.240 do the show from this NBC like the LA News 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.840 Bureau for NBC's News Bureau for LA. We do it 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:40.000 out of that building. Yeah, the Brocosts Center. Yeah, and 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.600 CEE NBC's there and all that. So they do like 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.400 dateline and all that. But I would like to alert 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.600 you that we do have a change today on this Friday, 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.360 a booster rocket. I think this is great news for 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.600 the show. We were debating this, but I think it's 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.640 really good news, and I'll tell you why. Because NBA 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.440 season started this week, the long winding road of the 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.760 NBA regular season, and what that means is for the 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:14.439 TV show, we're getting moved around because of NBA programming. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.120 Like in Boston, we're on the Celtic station. Chicago's got 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.880 the Bulls, Phillies got the Sixers. In the Bay Area, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.839 they've got the Warriors, and we're on the Sacramento King station. 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:24.959 Left off a major one. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.680 Yeah, you know there's some team in LA. I don't know. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:32.319 I think, yeah, that team where Lebron and ad tour 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.280 shit up. Last night, you're on the Lakers station. I watched. 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.680 They were down by twelve going to the fourth quarter. 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.880 I guess the team without two of their top three players. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.839 I don't know that I would use that terminology to 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:43.880 describe what happened. 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.800 But are you really gonna talk smack when they're promoting 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:47.280 your show. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.640 I don't know I would do that. I'm just just 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.280 saying I'm just merely pointing out that I don't know 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.839 the verbiage was anyway, Yeah, we are on in LA 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:55.240 as well. 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.120 So well, the day before I heard Lebron was done. 0:10:58.240 --> 0:10:59.319 So that's all I'm saying. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.840 Well, this is how little Darvin Ham not to do 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.120 a sporty podcast. But the coach of the Lakers came 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:11.600 out boldly said Lebron's on a minute cap at twenty 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:16.120 nine minutes. So this got reported everywhere. Everyone wrote this that, 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.280 everyone talked about this on radio and television. Lebron twenty 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.600 nine minutes, the twenty nine minute man. So Thursday night 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:29.000 they're playing the Sun's Lakers are trailing. Lebron's played twenty 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.960 nine minutes they played another six they just like just 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:33.760 left me in there. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.280 Like to be fair, that sounds like one of our podcasts. 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.000 We'll do twenty nine minutes. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.079 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We always plan on cutting it out 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:43.440 and then we end up going to like another extra 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.280 ten minutes, yea extra ten yeah, to get to the point. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.640 So because of the NBA schedule, we are on different times. 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.120 For example, the Boston Celtics play the Heat today and 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.560 we are on after the game at after the postgame 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.480 at eleven o'clock Boston, and they play this they can 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.200 play show back to back. We're on in Philadelphia. There's 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.160 no Sixers game today, but we were on at six 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:12.040 thirty and eleven thirty in Philly. Chicago, we're on after 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.920 the Bulls play the Raptors, and we're on actually pre 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.920 game before the Golden State Warriors game, and actually Golden 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:24.720 State's playing Sacramento, but we're on different stations. Anyway, I'll 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:29.240 just check your local cable listings at all. And I 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.000 know in LA on Saturday because of the Lakers, believe 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.640 they're on the road in Orlando. I think I think 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.960 I saw that. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but anyway, 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.400 the show's got to air at six am and then 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:46.000 again at eleven pm on Spectrum Sports Net in LA. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.480 In the other there's a bunch of other showings, but 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.199 you can that's on Saturday for the LA market and anyway, 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.480 check check it out. It would be really cool. My 0:12:55.559 --> 0:13:00.680 picks have been absolutely horrible. They have been embarrassing. I've 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.160 been explaining to people at NBC Danny that I was 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:08.280 actually good at this, Like we have tape that is 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.520 available to prove that I am not incompetent. I have 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:17.200 not changed anything. It's not like I've changed anything. And 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.800 yet here were the Dodgers. Are you pressing too hard? Well, 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.520 there was that like we were going over the schedule 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.840 and we have to tape. There's a show that we 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:32.040 normally tape on Thursdays, and obviously Thanksgiving is coming up 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.000 in a few weeks, so we are like, well, nobody 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.080 wants to tape on Thanksgiving, so when do we When 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.480 do we do it? And then it's like do we 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.440 push it forward but it's got to air at certain times? 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.079 Do we do it earlier? And I think my response was, well, clearly, 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.240 more prep time isn't going to help me because I'm 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:54.120 spending endless amounts of time here and it's not quite 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.160 quite working out. So but anyway, the show, I mean, 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.040 they don't really hear it's actually actually better as we've 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.120 said for the show at the Penny Wins and all that. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:05.000 But I just want to have one of those dynamite weekends, Danny, 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.640 like we had last year where I end up going 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.920 like eleven and four or something like that. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.240 Yeah, I remember that you were on cloud nine. 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.760 Yeah. Yeah, I want one of those. I haven't had 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.400 one of those. I mean, I've been a terrible week 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.120 last week. Anyway, Benny versus the Penny checked that out, 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:28.760 pressing on turning the page. If you will, commandeered, calm undeered, 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.720 that would be the Halloween holiday and we'll have a 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:36.360 lot of Halloween related content. I would imagine this weekend, Danny, 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:41.440 but commandeered, that would be the holiday of Halloween. This 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:46.320 is not something that is new, but it is continuing. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.760 It is a trend in society that is continuing for 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.280 the Halloween holiday, which is coming up on Tuesday.

Because we were kids, Danny, 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.879 I don't remember like going out seeing a lot of women. 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.720 You don't remember your mom wearing half of an outfit 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.399 saying later, honey, I'll be home in the morning. 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.320 But it wasn't like this, Like it's just like the last. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.600 I think the last. I think it's been a while. 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.440 It's like fifteen years or so, but. 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.960 I think it's been a little bit longer than that. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.600 I I hell, I remember hosting Halloween nights at a 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.960 club twenty years ago and all the girls. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:23.920 Looked like a bunch of hookers and cocaine. Hello, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.560 of course, of course. So we have the daily double, 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:32.919 daily dabble, daily dabble, daily daball, daily dabo phrase, word 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.359 of the week, phrase and word of the week? 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.399 What phrase and word of the week. 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:41.959 Yeah, Now we'll start with the phrase of the week, 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.639 which I don't even know if this counts as a phrase. 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.960 Jack o lantern in honor of Halloween. I wanted to 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:51.720 go big. So jack o lantern. We all know, I 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.760 assume we all know what that is, right, the carved 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.680 up pumpkin and all that. But did you know the 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:03.320 rest of the story, the history of jack o' lanterns. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.119 I looked it up because I was curious. It goes 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:11.359 back to the British Isles and people it wasn't pumpkins. 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:17.280 They would carve up turnips and something called a mangle wurzel, 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.399 which is I guess a beat like a vegetable, like 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:24.200 a beet thing. And they would carve these really disgusting 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:29.840 faces in these turnips and these beats, and they'd use 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:34.679 them as lanterns on Halloween. And the tradition came to 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.679 the United States by Irish immigrants. They brought it with 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.359 brought their traditions with them, and they switched to pumpkins. Now, 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:43.920 why did they go with pumpkins. Why didn't they just 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.479 keep going with turnips and beets or whatever, Because that 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.639 was the native fruit. That pumpkin is a native fruit 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:54.080 to this condent in North America. And so you break 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.240 it down even further down the rabbit hole. Here's my 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:01.920 favorite part of this. The name jack Oldland comes from 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:05.480 an Irish myth. This goes back hundreds of years about 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:11.280 a man named Stingy Jack. Stingy Jack is why we 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.640 call it the Jack O'Lantern. Who was Stingy Jack? Well, 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.240 it was a mythical character. But the story goes that 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:23.760 Stingy Jack tricked the devil and was doomed to wander 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.040 the earth with a lantern. And that's why people would 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:29.040 carve things up and put a little light in there, 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.840 and they would do it to honor Stingy Jack. So 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.359 the phrase, which I don't even know if it counts, 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:40.919 jack o lantern, the phrase of the week. Now for 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:45.679 the word of the week, the word of the week, 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:51.199 and here we go. The word is rather simple. Halloween. Halloween. 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:57.320 Now many people know the hallows, the all hallows and whatnot. 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.560 Back in the day, the Eve of all Saints, the 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:06.440 last night of October Halloween originally was spelled ha llow 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:13.400 space e and then kind of not an explanation point 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:18.040 one of those little lines, and then e n and 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.640 seventeen eighty one. That seems like a long time ago. 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:28.520 In Scotland, the Scottish shortened the term to all hollows. 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.159 And it goes back, I mean goes back even for 0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:39.320 the going back to the Middle English thirteen hundreds. There's 0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:43.240
