A very happy Friday to you. 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:40.479 We are recording this podcast live on tape. I have 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.160 been maut dany g Radio. This is the seventeenth day 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:50.560 of the month of November, the final Friday before Thanksgiving, 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:55.040 a time where sports talk radio takes a turn to 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.160 the wild side and you get a lot of evergreen 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:03.560 sports RADI Danny G is the Man, the Myth, the 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.039 Legend has introduced. Hello Danny, good. 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:07.400 Morning, Good morning. 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.040 Yeah, it's finally the time of year in southern California 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.399 where it's a little harder to get out of bed 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.080 because it's cold in the morning. 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:16.920 You've got to get a jacket on. 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.600 It's weird, right, like you got to start looking at 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:20.680 your jacket collection. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.600 Yes, it's so cow cool, but I do as a 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.280 day sleeper. I love it because I can actually sleep 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:33.000 and I don't wake up when like usually in the summer, 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:37.240 when it's hot one o'clock, I can't really get past 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.880 one o'clock because it's too But it's been cooler and 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.800 that's nice, especially have some rain. In fact, there's supposed 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.679 to be rain this weekend here in La. Never rains 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.760 in La. They made a movie it never rains in La. 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:53.640 But that's a lie, that's not true. We have the 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:59.960 Cubana surprise. We've got that. Also the idiom of the week, 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.560 which is not to be confused with the phrase of 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:02.840 the week, of the word of the week. This is 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.440 a different This is the idiom of the week, which 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:10.480 is much more exotic, Danny, much more exotic than that. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.079 I love words. We both love words. We like you 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.960 in enhancing our vocabulary or learning some phrases that we 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.160 already use where they came from. Things like that. We 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:24.920 also have foody fun on a Friday, But as always, 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.680 we begin with shameless promotion, as the TV show has 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:33.200 still not been canceled, shockingly, which means people are actually 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.240 watching it, which is good. But we need more people 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.640 to watch it. Penny Versus the Penny was over at 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:42.200 Universal Studios in Hollywood there, which I guess isn't actually 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.880 in Hollywood. I don't know where it is. Where is 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.680 Universal Studios in Universal City? 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.920 Is that where it is? Universal City? 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.840 Do they name the city after Universal Studios? Is that 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.400 why it's called Universal City? Yes? Oh, all right. Anyway, 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.400 I was over there hanging out, had a great time. 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.320 It's always fun going in there doing the TV show. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.680 So we go Benny Versus the Penny, and it is 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.760 in the bag. It's been sent out on the satellite 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.600 to the different TV stations, so it'll start airing later today. 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.320 And if you've watched Benny Versus the Penny, thank you. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:19.200 Watch again. If you haven't, check it out. We were 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.760 on everywhere from Boston to LA It's on satellite TV, 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.280 direct TV, Fubo TV. If you don't live in a 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.519 market that has an affiliate, you can get it on 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.800 the direct TV hook up obviously. But things are going good. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.680 We're getting loosening up a little bit. I can't get 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.320 Tom to unbutton Tom Looney to unbutton his shirt, but 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.240 we are getting deeper in the fun zone. Happy days 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.440 are here again and the people that work on the 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.120 shore are getting a little annoyed Because I've done a 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.960 little better recently, I still have not had that breakthrough week. 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:51.080 Now. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.960 We did Benny Versus the Penny last year here on 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.600 the podcast Danny, and there were a couple of weeks 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.480 where I just absolutely killed it, where I was like seven, eight, 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.080 nine games above five hundred. Haven't had one of those yet. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.640 I need, desperately, Danny, one of those. So if you 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.800 can somehow mess with the gambling gods, that would really help. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.120 That would really help. Like I if I ended up, 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.800 you know, going like nine and three or something like that, 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.320 or nine and four, whereas like five games above five hundred, 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.000 I would be happy with that. But even better, I'm 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:22.440 all four. 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:27.440 Maybe you can accidentally food poison looney one week, just 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.560 for one week, nothing too serious. Button my top button 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.800 like a cholo and you'll in. And if it's a 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.159 cholo penny, you'll win. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:41.640 Racist. Yeah, I've told the tim said, listen, we're on television. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.679 You don't have to wear the funny shirts. It's okay. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.640 You don't have to be who's that guy on TNT, 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.520 the NBA guy. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:48.880 What was his name? 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.960 He died years ago, but he used to wear the 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.080 funny outfits. Craig gig Seger. Yes, Segur was great, and 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.880 I Seger did it. He knew that he would get 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.200 all the attention. I actually talked him a few So 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.279 he'd show up to Staples Center and he'd have regular 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.520 clothes on, and then about half an hour before the 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.120 broadcast he'd go into the in the dressing room there 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.599 and come out like Bozo the clown for the TV thing. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.600 And the players loved it and he got a lot 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.039 of attention for it and all that. So I know 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.320 our people do it. Vic the Brick, who I've known 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:23.760 for years. Vic would dress like a total clown. Yeah, attention, 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.799 But I've told Tom, listen, you don't need to button 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:26.960 the top button. Who does that? 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:27.200 Right? 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.280 Nobody does that? Who does the top button? You don't 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.279 need the top button? No, that's that's it. Look weird. 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.280 You look like you're all uh, you know, you're all 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.520 up tight or something like that with the button all 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.160 the way like that. Anyway, So the show, if you've 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.920 now watched thirty minutes Benny Versus the Penny, we were 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.640 doing like ninety minutes on the podcast, and I was 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.520 doing a solid hour on the radio, so we're down 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.040 to thirty minutes and it airs all over the place. Now, 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.279 the Celtics play tonight the Raptors, so that means we 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.120 get bumped to late night in Boston, which is good 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.279 because I have no notice, and if you guys go 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.480 out to bars and stuff, I'm getting a little collection 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.240 of like photographs of people taking photos at like sports 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.280 bars that have the show on, because I'm a nerd 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.440 like that. But tonight, after the Celtics game in the 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.720 Boston market, which is the place the show is produced 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.560 from on NBC Sports Boston, Benny Versus The Penny at 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:27.560 eleven PM and eleven thirty PM, so back to back airings, 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.600 so if you tune in late at eleven, it'll just 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.760 air again.

But yeah, so we'll be on all 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.000 day there. And not a big Laker guy, but they 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.400 have a really good cable channel. I am such a 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:27.240 radio loser, been a big fan of their cable channel recently. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.040 And then on Sunday we'll be on SNY New York, 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.520 the Big Apple there. We've got our own time slot 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.600 every Sunday, I think every Sunday this football season, we've 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:42.040 been on at eleven thirty am. That is our slot, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.839 which is good. So you can watch that if you're 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.520 in the New York area, you watch that, and then 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.079 that kind of leads into the NFL pregame shows and 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.719 you can watch those and then you're good to go. 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.000 It's all you need. And there's a bunch of other showings. 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.160 I don't have time to go through all the TV listings, 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.440 as you like to say, Danny, just check your local 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.040 cable TV listings because it does air other plays. But 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.439 these are the ones I know, I know you can 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.720 get it at these these times today and tomorrow and 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.120 all that. So last weekend, as we turned the pace, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:15.240 last weekend was a rather eventful weekend, which is good 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.839 content for the pod. And you know the only reason 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.920 I leave my house, Danny, is so we have new 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.320 things to talk about on this podcast. Otherwise I would 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.880 just stay at my house and I would not go anywhere. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.280 That would be it. I just wouldn't leave. So Friday 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:38.559 night I was a social butterfly. Either that or I 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:43.679 was taken hostage by my wife. Destination Lo Discarga. Have 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:48.440 you ever been to load Discargo, Danny, No, It sounds 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.080 like a golf course. Sounds like a golf course, not 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.280 a golf course. Not a golf course. This was at night. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:10:02.760 It is a Cuban speak easy Cuban speakeasy. It's on 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.240 Northwestern Avenue in the heart of La. Do they shove 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.480 a cigar in your mouth as you enter? They do 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.200 have a cigar bar. It's a Latin jazz club. They 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:18.880 have live music, dancing, dining, very chic elegance. So the 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.360 wife liked it. There's a dress code. I hate dress codes. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:23.520 There was a dress code. 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:24.800 What did you do? 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.320 I put on my put on my church clothes, in 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:33.560 my synagogue clothes. I was upscale attire. Only I should 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.520 have just worn the I should have worn the TV outfit. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.600 That would have been funny uniform I wear every week. 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.040 But you're dressed as baller Benny. 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.720 Yeah, so this is a speakeasy. Now are you and 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.600 the wife fans of the speakeasy? I should just ask 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:47.760 your wife. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.800 If she likes the speakeasy setup. We've never been to 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:51.400 one before. 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.320 No, what about Capos in Vegas? You ever been to 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:56.760 Capos in Vegas? You've never been? 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.720 Huh, I've never been on the West Coast. I had 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.319 a record company executive take me to one in New 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.720 York one time when I was there for a radio convention. 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.160 But as far as going to one with the wife 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:10.640 even never, we've never been. 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.240 Oh, when your son's a little older and you're able 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.920 to leave and go do things, you should you should go. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.360 There's some It's not really my jam.

And the actually NBC on Sunday, the Raider 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.480 Sunday Night game, they showed Capos. I was like shocked. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.840 I was like Wow, it's like a random speakeasy in 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.760 a mall. Not a mall, but it's like an outdoor 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:39.840 mall type thing. And it's in the parking lot. And 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.840 I'm like, wow, that's kind of kind of crazy. But 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.079 this lot of Scarga plays, I got the dress code 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.360 all that. There's a hidden doors to speak easy, there's 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.680 a you know, it's a Raman cigar bar. They claim 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.360 it's very reminiscent of Little Havanna, But I don't know. 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:56.360 Have you been to Havana? 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:56.760 I don't. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.840 I have no idea. But when you think of me, Danny, 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.640 you think of that rumba or the cha cha cha, right, 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.280 those are things that you think of when you think 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.920 of me dancing. But this was this was actually a 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:12.079 special event. So one of the officers that my wife, 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:13.599 she's a nine one one operator, So one of the 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:17.480 officers she works with was celebrating his birthday and so 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:22.560 a bunch of his friends and people from work, you know, 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:28.080 nobody from my circle, and they planned this big night out. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.560 And so, as I said, I got all dressed up. 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.760 You know, I hate doing that. But whatever went to 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:38.439 this grand club, big bar. You go in, you walk upstairs, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.360 you go through like this hidden door, and then you 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:46.760 go downstairs and the speakeasy thing and you have randomly, 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.160 you have a live band, but you have Cuban burlesque 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:56.240 dancers in lingerie shaking their you know whatever their mama 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:56.720 gave them. 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:58.920 Okay, this place sounds promising. 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.280 Yeah, yeah, so that's like random. Like you're just like 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.360 having a drink and you look up and there's like 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.720 a woman shaking your boobs. You know, it's right there. 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.560 And uh so, since we had a big group, the 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.480 wife and the people that were celebrating this guy's birthday 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.440 bought a table. So now we're sitting, you know, at 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.440 the club, Danny, I'm not a club guy, but at 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.640 the club that's VIP, right, that's big y. 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:22.200 Yeah. 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:26.520 Bottle bottle service, Yes, we had bottle service. So rolled 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.559 out the red carpet and you know, dancing the samba, 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.520 enjoying that salt of flavor and all that, and the 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.079 man of honor was not there. We were like, where 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.000 where is this guy? And so my wife's like, he 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.840 starts texting the guy, and then a couple of other 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.600 people are texting and trying to call them and get 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.760 a hold of him, and and and nobody answers, right, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.280 so we're like, oh, that's kind of you know, you 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.520 go to the club, you don't want to get there 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.959 too early. There's I've learned the lingo like you don't 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:53.600 want to get there too early. There's like a fine 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.600 line when you want to get So so we got 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.560 there a little too early. But then you're like, you 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.320 want to be the person that shows up at like 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.760 ten or eleven, you know, goes laid into the night. 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.720 And so she's texting and calling this guy is his 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:12.319 birthday party? And he didn't answer. So we soon got 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:16.400 a Cubana surprise, Danny, and as Paul Harvey would say, 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.120 you know what the news is. But now you're about 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.040 to get the rest of the story. So it turns out, 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:28.880 after several text messages and phone calls, we never got 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.080 a hold of the person we went out to celebrate 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:36.560 whose birthday it was. You see, now the rest of 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.520 the story. This gentleman laid down after a very long 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:46.480 day for a short nap. He visited dream Town and 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.160 did not return until the club had already been closed. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.120 So we all got to enjoy a nice night out 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.920 at a Cuban speakeasy without Danny the Star the show, 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.040 which I would say is the oddest birthday party I 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.480 have attended. I've heard of the phrase he'd be late 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.280 to your own funeral. I've never heard don't even show 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.960 up to your own birthday party. That we should make 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.240 that a phrase. We can make that at an idiom. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.840 Good timing for this story, because I just read the 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.040 other day a little thing about how Walt Disney, on 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.520 opening day of the park, his head engineer was trying 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.200 to fix the power on one of the rides, I 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.320 think the Toad ride or something like that. They thought 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.240 the power cable had been cut. He tells Walt, don't worry, 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.120 I'll go over there and figure it out. So he 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.920 goes over to the ride and it turns out somebody 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.720 had just unplugged something, so. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.000 It was an easy fix. He plugs it in. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.400 Walt Disney thinks he's busy with this big job, you know, 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.080 putting wires back together, so he goes behind the Toad 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.760 ride and falls asleep for hours. He missed the opening 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:03.200 of the park because it's sleeping behind the ride. 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:10.600 Oh that's great, Well, I wish I could sleep like that. 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.160 I'm jealous of people that have the sleep. Do you 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.480 have the sleep I don't have the sleep power. I'm 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:16.760 lacking the sleep power. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:21.360 My chick says, you can sleep anywhere if you're tired. Yeah, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.160 if I'm tired enough, I can knock out as long 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.760 as I have like a pillow or a jacket or 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.560 something to lay my head on. If there's a lot 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.040 of noise and stuff around me, it doesn't really bother 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:32.880 me all that much. 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:38.440 Yeah, like my week lately because of the TV stuff, 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.840 Like early in the week, I do okay. Like on 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.080 the weekends, I obviously get enough sleep, and then Monday 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.160 and Tuesday are pretty good. But starting Wednesday, Wednesday, Thursday 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:52.760 and Friday total shit show, total shit show. And so 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.000 it's like three days a week is really really nasty 0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:00.320 in the sleep department. But yeah, you win, some lose 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:01.480 something really quick. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.399 Did this guy like see pictures of the party that 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.080 would suck? Right, you're finally awake and you look at 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.000 pictures of everyone having a great time. 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.360 Yeah, well we thought he was dead. We're happy he's 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.200 breathing again, so we we were concerned about that. But yeah, 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.119 I mean he was you know, I don't I don't 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.119 know that he felt that terrible about it. I mean, 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.000 if you had you got to sleep, you gotta sleep, 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:26.480 I guess. And that's it. And he passed out, and 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.719 I don't know if he's done that before. He's going 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.560 to retire soon, so I was like, I told my wife, 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:33.600 are we having a big retirement party. He's not gonna 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:38.240 show up to that either. You know. It's like, come 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.760 on time now for the idiom of the week, which 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.800 is not to be confused and with the phrase of 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.320 the week, that's a totally different bit or the word. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:46.600 Of the week. 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.800 This this is only the idiom of the week, that's 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.120 all it is. This is like the sports car of words. 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:55.760 This is this is big, all right. This is a 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:01.320 massive thing idiom of the week, and we're very excited 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.840 to have it. We're gonna get a big sponsor. I 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.719 know they're working on that right now. A lot of 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.240 live commercials, a lot of live commercials. I know that's coming. 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.679 So the idiom of the week is stiff upper lip. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.280 You ever heard that you got to keep a stiff 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.280 upper lip, right, which is of course, yeah, way to 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.960 be brave or you know, in the face of the 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.000 crap that happens in everyone's life. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:26.200 Right. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.480 See, you get a couple of bad breaks. Things don't 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:33.119 go your way, whether it's medical or work or relationship. 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:32.959 Whatever might. 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.159 So you got to control yourself. You can't get upset. 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.320 You gotta be firm, you gotta be locked in and 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.200 all that. And so it's stiff upper lip. It's been around. 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.240 So where does the phrase come from? The idiom of 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:52.040 the week. The phrase stiff upper lip has been traced 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.640 all the way back to ancient Greece, to the Spartans. 0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:01.119 I better let sparty know the Spartans. And so the 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:08.119 cult of discipline self sacrifice was an inspiration. It was 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:14.080 an inspiration to the English public school system and the Stoics, 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.840 and those ideas were adopted by the Romans, and the 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:24.720 concept reached England in the fifteen nineties. We're going way 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:29.440 way back. The phrase became symbolic of the British people, 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.159 and really it was more for the students in the 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.880 fifteen nineties there during the Victorian era. I like those 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:40.040 Victorian style homes. I like those. My favorite thre are 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.640 the craftsmen homes. I love those craftsmen so they're really 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.280 really good. But then I get depressed because those were 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.520 built with the wood from the Great Redwood Forest of California. 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.640 They chopped down to build those houses, and I get 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.439 bummed out because I love going to the giant forest 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:58.119 in Sequoia. And anyway, get back to the point police, 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.520 So stiff upper lip goes of all the way back 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:05.840 to ancient Greece. It also continued on through England in 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:14.280 the fifteen nineties and the phrase the week stiff upper lip. 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:15.520 I guess it was immortalized. 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.120 You said phrase or did I say. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:22.920 Phrase of the week? Goofed? I've got to know idiom 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.920 of the week. It was also part of a famous 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.400 poem which I will not attempt to pronounce because why 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.360 would I pronounce that? Just no way to pronounce that properly. 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.520 We all got to eat big time of the year, 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:41.840 Thanksgiving a holiday built around food, and you might go 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.360 out and eat.
