Introduction and Rant Tease
00:00:07
cltruitt22
Welcome back to another episode of the Mythic Drive podcast. I'm Chris.
00:00:10
pain
And I'm Ron with a rant.
00:00:13
cltruitt22
Oh, starting with a rant. Yes.
00:00:14
pain
Two rants, but all based on one thing.
Dental Adventures and Retirement Plans
00:00:19
pain
So I'm a diligent patient.
00:00:23
pain
I get my six months dental exam. That was happened to be this morning, right?
00:00:30
pain
First off, I think I know the life story of my dental hygienist more than any person in my life. I know everything that's gone on in her life.
00:00:39
pain
We looked back and I've been her patient since 2017. So I know everything about it. She's, it's hilarious. Like I just feel like I'm watching like a show, but ah like every six months I watch a new episode.
00:00:55
pain
It's like it all. Cause all she does is tell me about her life. Well, you know, and then she like, this time she's like, well, what do you do for a living? And I'm like, I'm a firefighter. And she was like, well, how does that work?
00:01:10
pain
What are your shifts like?
00:01:15
pain
Yeah. But then, you know, same, same thing. I've had the same dentist for, I don't know, said 10 years or whatever, plus the years.
00:01:21
cltruitt22
Seven years? Oh, yeah.
00:01:23
pain
I think I had him longer, but then.
00:01:23
cltruitt22
The dentist. Yeah.
00:01:25
pain
Yeah. So he comes in for his 32nd I'm a dentist visit.
00:01:32
pain
I don't really understand what he's doing or what, you know, I understand like it's his practice and all, but he literally comes in. He spends more time talking about retirement than he is being a dentist.
00:01:41
cltruitt22
Yeah. That's the thing. Like if you go to a doctor's office in the NP or the PACU, the doctor doesn't dock their head in at the end. So just let's look the hy den hygienists do it.
00:01:53
pain
Yeah, the doctor's not like, well, I don't know, let me just follow up on everything the MP did. It's like, just, you know, if I had a problem, that's what you're for, right?
Healthcare and Insurance Woes
00:02:02
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah. Yeah.
00:02:02
pain
he just comes in there and just starts poking at me and talking about retirement.
00:02:06
pain
and the He's got his, he's literally got his paw in my mouth.
00:02:12
cltruitt22
so uh oh you cut out yep yeah you said you had it yeah ah yeah yeah i don't yeah okay
00:02:14
pain
Oh, oh, I'm still there. so He has his hands in my mouth. This is big paws in my mouth. And he's like, so what are your, what's your retirement plans? And I'm like, I'm pension.
00:02:27
pain
It's terrible. Yeah. So then I get done all that. My rant was just the five seconds of dental experience I get from a dentist. get all done all that and you know I go up there and usually I always stop even though they I never owe money because you know our insurance covers two cleanings a year and I go to the lady I always stop just make sure cause I always feel like I'm not gonna walk out of here it's like you owe $60 and I was like how the hell do I she's like well your insurance denied your last exam so comes to find out when I had my wisdom teeth removed
00:03:11
pain
the year before, even though I paid cash, he then billed my insurance company for an exam.
00:03:21
pain
So then when my cleaning came up and the dentist tried to bill for an exam, insurance denied it.
00:03:28
pain
Isn't that some crap?
00:03:31
pain
And I'm like, I paid this mother like $3,500 to do the work.
00:03:37
pain
And he he went and charged the insurance for 35 bucks.
00:03:46
cltruitt22
Is it so you can buy a new pair of shoelaces? I mean,
00:03:48
pain
Yeah, well, that yeah, but it's all insurance is all this game.
00:03:53
pain
All of it. My wife has just had this, you know, eye surgery and well, at least cyborg eyes, I guess I'm, you know, I'm not sure, but
00:03:59
cltruitt22
She's got robot eyes now.
00:04:08
pain
The insurance would only cover one eye's worth, and they only covered $400 out of it.
00:04:16
cltruitt22
but We know normal humans are born with two eyes. We're only going to cover one eye and only part of that eye.
00:04:24
cltruitt22
Quick thought.
00:04:24
pain
That's the crazy part to me. Like, the ladies like talking, you know, because they sit you down, they have your little, here's what it's going to cost, here's what we've projected might cost, but your insurance might pick up some of this and
00:04:35
pain
And she was like, oh, it's a pretty good chance your insurance is going to pick up your left eye because it's it's pretty bad off. And I'm like, my wife is blind as a.
00:04:40
cltruitt22
Pick up your left eye.
00:04:43
pain
But my wife is basically blind as a bat her entire life. They pay, I don't know how much a pair of glasses costs, but they pay for a pair of glasses every year for the last 50 years of her life. I shouldn't say that, I don't know, I shouldn't get mad. But they've paid for glasses for a long time and they will continue to have to pay for glasses or pay for this one-time surgery.
00:05:06
pain
Instead, they cover $400 out of her one eye surgery.
00:05:14
pain
in essay ah She did not get an eye patch.
00:05:15
cltruitt22
She get a complimentary eye patch since she's going to use one eye. Can you imagine that Blue Cross Blue Shield says that, hey, congratulations on your eye surgery. Here's your patch for your other eye.
00:05:28
pain
that's what i thought like It's got to be cheaper or better for the patient outcome to get the job done correctly.
00:05:38
cltruitt22
Oh, it is. But the insurance banks on the people that are like, you know what? I got a pair of glasses. I'll be fine for the next 10 years.
00:05:48
cltruitt22
Because for every person that goes and gets their eyes checked every year and keeps up with things, there are 10 others
Compensation and Eye Doctor Frustrations
00:05:54
pain
Well, I've never seen the eye doctor, but that's, you know, it's true.
00:05:54
cltruitt22
that haven't seen an eye doctor in eons.
00:05:59
cltruitt22
What's because you've got eagle vision.
00:06:03
cltruitt22
But you also get a rudimentary eye exam every year with your physical.
00:06:06
pain
I do. rumaary the right But but so those eye exams are all bullshit because nobody ever marks off the actual distance you're supposed to stand back at all.
00:06:09
cltruitt22
Hmm. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:21
pain
I think insurance is man such a scam.
00:06:23
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, just like we've talked about before where, you know, the doctor's like, yeah, whatever it is. I'm pretty sure you, you know, you tore your meniscus. 99% sure. We could go do this surgery and you'd be back on your feet in six weeks.
00:06:39
cltruitt22
But yeah, we want you to go to physical therapy for six months, see how that goes.
00:06:43
pain
yeah Yeah, I mean we have one of our employees doing that right now What I don't understand is the conversation about not doing the um MRI Like the the MRI
00:06:45
cltruitt22
Then maybe we'll do the surgery.
00:06:49
cltruitt22
Because so there's, yeah, there's 2% of patients that physical therapy works for them. I don't like those odds. Let's just do it.
00:07:09
pain
has to be done either way.
00:07:12
pain
And it's gonna show there's a tear or not, right?
00:07:15
pain
Like, even if you need physical therapy, you should probably have the imaging done to see if there was a tear.
00:07:20
cltruitt22
Yeah, so they knew the extent.
00:07:21
pain
Right. And to say, oh, hey, we did this um MRI and then six months from now we're gonna do another MRI to see where you're at.
00:07:30
pain
But no, they will fight hey just tooth and nail not to do the MRI but because I think they know once they do it,
00:07:34
cltruitt22
Oh, Yeah. yeah yeah
00:07:39
pain
They're stuck. And instead of doing the right thing, yeah, I told my lawyer when we got done this less workers comp crap.
00:07:50
pain
I said, the next time if something happens to me at work, I'm just going to use my insurance.
00:07:55
pain
I would have been back to work quicker. I would have had to deal with less crap and I would have gotten better care.
00:08:01
pain
And they're like, yeah, that's fair point. I'm like, that seems messed up, but it's so messed up that that's the the answer.
00:08:05
cltruitt22
That's a ah fair point.
00:08:12
pain
Like I would have paid $15 in copay and had better care.
00:08:23
pain
and And I look at from the city side going, we're losing an employee for nine months because it could have been six weeks.
00:08:33
pain
How is that good for anybody in this situation?
00:08:40
cltruitt22
Yeah. But the workman's comp, it took care of him too.
00:08:47
cltruitt22
Well, side-change it to your wife's eye stuff.
00:08:53
cltruitt22
So, I may or may not be not welcome in at least two eye doctors in Salisbury at this point.
00:09:01
cltruitt22
Yeah. But the other day, I see on my caller ID that one of those two is calling me. So I'm like, that's weird. So I answer, hello? Hi, is this Christopher Truitt? Yeah. Hi, Mr. Troop. We're just confirming your appointment tomorrow. at I was like, I'm going to stop you there. When I stormed out of your office last year and said I would never set foot in this hellhole, that you had no idea what you were doing, that you barely know how to color inside the lines, let alone tell somebody what's wrong with their eyes. And I would never see that doctor again. What made you think I would come back? And she's like, uh, are you saying you want to cancel your appointment?
00:09:45
cltruitt22
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
00:09:54
pain
Yeah, my wife's had a lot. That's part of the reason I don't go to eye doctors. My wife's had so much problems with eye doctors.
00:09:59
pain
It's taken her years to find one she actually likes.
00:10:03
pain
you know She went to one who told her that she had cataracts 10 plus years ago.
00:10:07
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. no
00:10:10
pain
And it was like, here, you need to go to the Willis Eye Center, you know which is like one of those fancy premiere eye centers up in Philly.
00:10:17
cltruitt22
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:10:18
pain
We check all the way up there and they're like, no, he just got your prescription wrong.
00:10:24
pain
And I was like, what?
00:10:26
pain
that That's acceptable and that this guy got the, but isn't that his job?
00:10:30
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:35
pain
The amount of things that are acceptable, just eh. They just screwed it up.
00:10:40
pain
Like, if I was like that at work, people would be on the news.
00:10:43
cltruitt22
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:10:44
pain
Yeah. They just got it wrong that time.
00:10:45
cltruitt22
Yeah. Well, he put the wrong house out.
00:10:48
cltruitt22
I mean, so what that the house to down from that burn to the foundation, that crew put a lot of water on that house that had nothing wrong with it.
00:10:56
pain
Yeah, this house had another one of it. It's now flooded. But it didn't catch fire.
00:11:10
pain
Yeah, my doctor, I had my physical a couple of weeks ago, when i'm probably about a month ago at this point, I've slack and I get my blood work for her.
00:11:18
pain
She's like, well, even though you've had a PSA test, I need you to do another one. Why?
00:11:23
cltruitt22
but What? What? What?
00:11:25
pain
She was like, I don't, I don't know if I trust these results. So I'm getting another one.
00:11:32
cltruitt22
Does she want to look at my results so she can see that they actually work?
00:11:36
pain
i She's like, well, this isn't in a format that I'm used to. I'm like, well, what?
00:11:40
cltruitt22
It's a number.
00:11:44
cltruitt22
It's a no. I said I sent it to my urologist. He's like, awesome. This is great. Thanks.
00:11:53
pain
Well, mine was good this year.
00:11:55
pain
ah From us as of, it was took a long time this time.
00:12:01
pain
Yeah. I just got mine like yesterday.
00:12:04
cltruitt22
Yeah. Well, did you freak out at the one number?
00:12:06
pain
The one that was like 7.8.
00:12:08
cltruitt22
When you look at the chart and it's like goes from nothing to this giant steep climb.
00:12:12
pain
Yes, I was like, wait a sec.
00:12:16
pain
And then I looked at it.
00:12:16
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think everybody opened that was like. That I looked, I was like, oh, it didn't test it last time.
00:12:22
pain
Yeah, that's what I figured out was that it was zero. And then it
Medical Testing and Protocols
00:12:28
cltruitt22
Well, somebody Googled what that whatever could be. It was like, hey according to this, I'm at high risk for cervical cancer. I said, uh, that's that's not how that works, young man.
00:12:44
pain
There you go, there you go.
00:12:45
cltruitt22
Well, that I mean, so it means I've got cancer in my neck. Ah, no.
00:12:55
pain
Yep, that's exactly what it means.
00:12:56
cltruitt22
Oh, gosh. Yep, I just thought. Oh, gosh. but I will say, you know, we're not done yet. We've got the volunteers to knock out next week, but knock on wood. You know, I didn't have to explain to anybody why they had to leave their hands off themselves. God.
00:13:17
pain
Yeah. Well, you know, I mean.
00:13:20
cltruitt22
And I had somebody on your shift who sends me a text, I can't do my blood work today. I broke the rules. He, he was like, no, no, no.
00:13:30
pain
It's not for a bike ride.
00:13:34
cltruitt22
yeah Yep. Well, there was also the young lady on your shift.
00:13:38
cltruitt22
Does it matter for women? ah How's your prostate lady?
00:13:43
pain
Check your prostate.
00:13:45
pain
You tell me when you find it.
00:13:47
cltruitt22
Yeah. Good heavens.
00:13:48
pain
You dig deep. It's going to be a while.
00:13:53
pain
It's kind of, it's going to be a a good bit.
00:13:54
cltruitt22
Oh, gosh. yeah Yeah. I've had to act as personal physician to three people so far.
00:14:00
pain
What does that mean? You check their prostate?
00:14:04
cltruitt22
like you No, read this and tell me what it means.
00:14:07
pain
Oh, because you can't read?
00:14:09
cltruitt22
Or why does it show this? i Just because I'm the idiot who drew your blood doesn't mean that I am in charge of this.
00:14:16
cltruitt22
It clearly says who to contact, not Chris Druitt.
00:14:19
pain
Me? Me, dumb monkey, draw blood.
00:14:23
pain
It was always my favorite when I was in the field and we'd go to the doctor's office and they'd be like, well, this blood chest is this, this, and I was like, doc, I draw blood and I pump chests.
00:14:32
pain
I don't, I don't, I don't know what your crap means.
00:14:34
cltruitt22
Yeah. Let me introduce you to my friend Salombrino over here.
00:14:36
pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a friend that you can talk to, but this guy, not interested.
00:14:43
pain
Cause when he gets interested, he gets angry at the protocols in the state of Maryland. So he just stops getting interested.
00:14:49
cltruitt22
You do your protocols yet?
00:14:52
pain
I did. I have questions, but I will be suspicious and just do it.
00:15:04
cltruitt22
which I'm working on a video for that.
00:15:06
pain
not Well, i that's fine. It's never going to happen, but it's fine.
00:15:13
pain
yeah We have to have two monitors and...
00:15:20
pain
My only one real issue with that is then that this is real deep inside baseball is, is the now preferred vector going to be anterior or posterior?
00:15:31
pain
Because when I go to move them, I should put up a posterior pad or it's too late.
00:15:37
cltruitt22
So that's what I'm going to talk with.
00:15:42
cltruitt22
Twilly about like, you know, how much of a cost, everything, but I am thinking because you per the manufacturer, the first three shocks should be a interior lateral because that's the manufacturer's recommendations.
00:16:01
cltruitt22
after that is when you consider vector change and all that. So my thing is if our first. Yeah, we put up pads on and we get that first rhythm and we're like, OK, it's VFib or VTech. We shock them. That would be the time we would be putting the Lucas back plate under anyway. So if we shock them once, do we good just go ahead and slap a pad on the back so we don't have to worry about it?
00:16:25
pain
I mean, we, I, on my shift, we tend to put the back plate down, prove the, if we have to move the patient, we move them then.
00:16:34
cltruitt22
Yeah. Well, I get that.
00:16:35
cltruitt22
But I mean, yeah you should be doing, you know, four minutes probably of manual CPR.
00:16:41
pain
But even then you just do it on the back plate, you know,
00:16:44
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. But I'm saying yeah in that you you would have a couple of pauses that Lucas isn't in the way that you could slap that
Emergency Services and Resource Challenges
00:16:50
cltruitt22
pad on the back.
00:16:51
cltruitt22
So it's going to be tricky.
00:16:53
pain
Yeah, there's some tricky things to it.
00:16:56
pain
Plus the whole type type two monitors. It's not always going to be really feasible for us.
00:17:03
pain
So there's some things to deal with.
00:17:05
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I had somebody the other day. Well, that just means you got to staff the EMS buggy 24 seven. I was like, I would love to. Well, you should just do it with overtime. Where am I getting this overtime from? Well, the city has that hidden money away. They'll give it to you. What?
00:17:28
pain
People are silly. People do not understand money.
00:17:29
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. So what is your qualm about the protocols.
00:17:35
pain
um Using a psychotic drug, a psychotic drug seems something. you know Yes.
00:17:44
cltruitt22
Oh, are you talking about for ah the cyclic vomiting and all?
00:17:50
cltruitt22
I've actually had docs ask for a while why we weren't given how doll for vomiting.
00:17:55
pain
Yeah, but then I also have docs yell at me for giving how it all because it increases the seizure threshold and migraines increase your seizure threshold.
00:18:01
pain
So it seems like um what I was taught seems like maybe we shouldn't be doing that.
00:18:08
pain
But you know, if so Frank doesn't work, which honestly, in my experience, so friends almost always worked.
00:18:21
pain
A lot of the protocols have to be written for, hey, if you've got an hour-long transport, this is how you deal with them.
00:18:25
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah. Yep.
00:18:27
pain
We don't have that problem.
00:18:28
pain
Or, hey, you're going to put them on a helicopter.
00:18:31
pain
you know Maybe that.
00:18:32
cltruitt22
Yeah, we did find out the other day that with our Bupinduction stuff, you cannot give them Druparidol if they vomit. Yeah. Bupinorphin and Druparidol do not mix well. Yeah. So.
00:18:48
cltruitt22
Well, I mean, it's Zofran's over. I joked and she was like, yeah, you're right. I was like, so Zofran doesn't work. We give them an alcohol wipe, wipe the sniff. And she's like, yeah, that's what you do.
00:18:59
pain
Go back to the rubbing the pressure points.
00:19:03
pain
Which again, might work. Not very practical in the field.
00:19:06
cltruitt22
Yeah. No, no, it's great for somebody who has motion sickness. You know, they put a little band on their arm and.
00:19:12
cltruitt22
Yeah, but yeah.
00:19:13
pain
Yeah. Yeah. It sort of...
00:19:16
cltruitt22
Well, you just drill the IO right there.
00:19:21
cltruitt22
Yeah, you just in that way, it pulls tension
The Great Meatball Debate
00:19:24
cltruitt22
against it and it pulls pressure.
00:19:24
pain
ah yeah And you miss and go between the two bones?
00:19:39
pain
Did listen to Dr. Antebbe yellow it. That, you know, pretty much all providers for trying to start humoral IO's on pediatrics.
00:19:50
cltruitt22
Who's been doing that?
00:19:51
pain
Well that's like a big trend as people move into the humoral IO. Dr. Antebbe says, no, we should be doing femoral IO's.
00:19:59
cltruitt22
Well, yeah, I agree with that. But, yeah, for peeds and he's some adults, but.
00:20:06
pain
Maybe all adults, unless they have a femor fracture, which, you know, makes sense.
00:20:12
cltruitt22
ah Well, we also have to look at the patient and say, you know, where do they have more tissue?
00:20:17
cltruitt22
The shoulder or the thigh.
00:20:21
pain
It's fair. You got big old thighs like me.
00:20:22
cltruitt22
Yeah. but Yeah, that's the thing. I mean, some people are going to have ginormous thighs and then, you know, scrawny shoulders. So it would make sense to go.
00:20:29
pain
Oh, well. I do a lot of shoulder press to make up the shoulders.
00:20:32
cltruitt22
Well, you know what? Nobody can start an eye on you. I owe on you anywhere.
00:20:36
pain
That's not true the old tip fit baby I'll be dead.
00:20:38
cltruitt22
external. That's a horrible, horrible place.
00:20:45
pain
It's cuz that's the only way you're starting to die over me but so I Remember the marine guy did it
00:20:46
cltruitt22
I know, but it's what is I'll give you any medication. Do you remember that one doctor who taped himself, given himself an IO? No, there's a it's a um God, what's his name? Mark Peel, I want to say. Um, but yeah, you look at it like easy IO on self or whatever. And yeah, he's sitting there. He's got his knee propped up and he wipes it. Yeah. Here you go. So yeah, i it wasn't too bad. It's like, dude, you're a psychopath.
00:21:15
pain
I remember watching the the Marine do a sternal I.O. himself and laugh doing it.
00:21:20
cltruitt22
Well, that's a Marine. They're a special breed.
00:21:22
pain
That's fair. Yeah. There's a video out there of a Marine just coming. Ha ha! Watch this!
00:21:27
cltruitt22
Oh, God, what the, what?
00:21:31
pain
Yeah. Yeah. No thanks.
00:21:33
cltruitt22
No. I mean, thank you for your service, but no.
00:21:37
pain
Folks, don't give yourself I.Os.
00:21:40
pain
That's the official stance of Mythic Traffic Incorporated.
00:21:42
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah, exactly. God.
00:21:44
pain
Do not give yourself IOs.
00:21:46
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah. It's bad enough giving yourself an IV.
00:21:47
pain
Sometimes. Yeah, let's say sometimes you can get away with an IV.
00:21:51
pain
Sometimes. Ask your friends.
00:21:59
cltruitt22
Well, have we rigmaroled?
00:22:01
pain
We have rigged and we have rolled, I believe.
00:22:04
cltruitt22
All right, let's dive in into topic one.
00:22:07
pain
Topic one is a topic that I think will divide America.
00:22:15
cltruitt22
Is it about Peter Jackson's new female lead?
00:22:18
pain
Not even were talking about it. It's not a discussion. Didn't happen.
00:22:25
pain
I think the meatball is the worst meat accompaniment to any meal ever.
00:22:35
pain
It is flavorless, has a terrible texture, and it's just not a good addition.
00:22:44
pain
In any world where you could have a meatball, you could just have sausage. And that is the end of my rant.
00:22:54
cltruitt22
Grenade throne. I will say like a pasta dish with nice sausage. That's not, that's good, but I mean, If the meatball is made right, it's good.
00:23:05
cltruitt22
If we make bulgogi meatballs and are delicious.
00:23:08
pain
Are they better than a sausage?
00:23:12
cltruitt22
Yeah. We take the meat, we add a little bit of panko, some green onion, some ginger, some bulgogi sauce. We work it all together, bake it off, and then we toss it again in a little bit more bulgogi. Oh, yeah. Over some rice.
00:23:27
pain
I think, I think, I think I could live without every time I have a meatball and look, I came from little Italy.
00:23:38
pain
I'm Robino's trying meatballs, like hardcore Italian meatballs, one size of your head, like your grandmother, you to make.
00:23:45
pain
And, uh, I just rather have anything other. I'd rather have mushrooms, no meatball way better.
00:23:54
cltruitt22
and See, I don't want the meatball too big. That's, that's a problem sometimes.
00:23:58
pain
Even little meatballs I don't want.
00:24:00
pain
i think yeah The only time a meatball sub is fine.
00:24:02
cltruitt22
right Is it because you've gotten like the like the cheapo ones that have like a toenail in them?
00:24:10
pain
I think I've had those. I've had i've had very expensive Italian meatballs. The only time a meatball is fine. fine, and I'm quoting heavily, is it a meatball sub?
00:24:24
pain
That's because it's got sauce and cheese on bread.
00:24:27
pain
It could have anything in there and be better than meatballs.
00:24:30
cltruitt22
Well, But the problem with the meatball sub is you bite into it, and it's like, it's, yeah, what yeah it's you're putting a round object in something that's predominantly flat.
00:24:41
pain
There's a whole song about meatballs leaving your plate.
00:24:45
pain
Yeah, they're just not good.
00:24:46
cltruitt22
Yeah, just because somebody sneezed.
00:24:49
pain
They're not good. They're not.
00:24:51
pain
I'm sorry to all of my Italian brethren. Meatballs aren't good.
00:24:58
pain
Just get something better.
00:24:58
cltruitt22
Well, some of the recipes for them is weird, too.
00:25:01
cltruitt22
That's a guy you put a pound of hamburger in and then you put two slices of bread and a cup of milk.
00:25:07
pain
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a, you got that milk in there.
00:25:07
cltruitt22
I'm like, what?
00:25:11
pain
Yeah. That's the thing.
00:25:15
pain
I just, every time I have meatballs,
00:25:16
cltruitt22
And then what is it? A traditional meatball supposed to be what? Pork veal and beef.
00:25:22
pain
I think that's like the fancy meatball.
00:25:25
pain
I mean, the tradition behind a meatball makes sense, right? It's it's like, hey, you have a little bit of meat, you're going to stretch it out, and you'll make it something fine.
00:25:33
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:38
pain
But I'd rather you turn that meat into sausage and just have a little bit less sausage. Bam.
Food Authenticity and Regional Dishes
00:25:46
cltruitt22
I mean, typically sausage is better, though every now and again, you bite into a sausage and you hit that hard spot or something just.
00:25:55
pain
Yeah. I think, I think the big problem for me for meatballs is if, if I'm going to eat meat and I feel bad when I eat meat again, but I'm still eating meat, it's fine.
00:26:05
cltruitt22
Oh, you're back to eating meat.
00:26:06
pain
Um, yeah, it's, I'm trying to focus on my back rows and it was so hard trying to figure out protein.
00:26:18
pain
If you don't eat peanut butter and you don't like sweet potatoes, it's real tough.
00:26:20
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. I just read something that said peanut butter is just nothing but fat really.
00:26:27
pain
I mean, sure, it's fat sugar.
00:26:29
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. oh
00:26:32
pain
But. I. Every time you eat meat, you're like, I'd rather I'm eating the meat because of the texture.
00:26:40
pain
And meatballs don't add anything good.
00:26:43
pain
Like if you're having a space, a plate of spaghetti, it's like, oh, this is soft, nice, delicious spaghetti. Oh, here's a spongy soft. Thing in my mouth, great.
00:26:54
cltruitt22
ah I will say I've seen like recipes with like chicken meatballs and all you people are animals who use that. God. Ground chicken is one of the grossest things ever to start with.
00:27:12
pain
This is a call out to everyone in the world and especially people in America.
00:27:18
pain
Stop calling your Philly cheesesteak a Philly cheesesteak. It's not. It's terrible.
00:27:24
pain
I'm sorry. Unless it's from Philly and unless it's from a steak shop, don't do it.
00:27:25
cltruitt22
Unless it's from Philly.
00:27:33
pain
Don't get it. I went to dinner the other night.
00:27:36
cltruitt22
What are the two across from each other in Philly? Genos and.
00:27:40
pain
Yeah. Bats king of steaks, not Pat's pizza. Clear difference.
00:27:46
cltruitt22
Big difference.
00:27:46
pain
But I went to a ah bar the night and it was crazy. I just was like, I'm hungry, but I'm not really hungry. I just wanted something. I just got done spin class. I was like, oh, I need some, something small.
00:27:58
pain
And, uh, the cheapest thing on the menu was a Philly cheesesteak.
00:28:03
pain
Weird. So I was like, Oh, I'll get their Philly cheesesteak. It was God awful.
00:28:07
pain
And these are people who live 30 minutes south of Philly, so you should know better.
00:28:11
cltruitt22
Yeah, they should.
00:28:11
pain
You should know better, but no one.
00:28:13
cltruitt22
Or maybe it's the people that were kicked out.
00:28:19
cltruitt22
Yeah, they were because of their steak sandwiches.
00:28:21
pain
No one makes steak sandwiches unless you're a steak shop.
00:28:25
pain
That's any good. So just.
00:28:27
cltruitt22
I will say I had a, the, I had a cheesesteak today at Rudy Joe's that went bad, but they didn't call it a Philly cheesesteak.
00:28:35
pain
Yeah, that's fine. If you want to have a, call it a steak sub, you want to, whatever you want, just don't call it a Philly cheesesteak.
00:28:41
cltruitt22
Yeah, they called it a, it's their three day cheese date.
00:28:46
cltruitt22
It's like, I don't, I don't know. I guess it's dry aged for three days. I don't know. There's something about the three days.
00:28:51
pain
My brother went to Colorado and he was at a diner and he got a Philly cheesesteak and it was a steak, like a sirloin with green peppers and onions on top.
00:29:04
pain
And he was like, what the hell is this? And he's like, that's what sort of Philly cheesesteak is? And he was like, I'm from Philly. That is not, that's an abomination.
00:29:14
cltruitt22
Take it, throw it on the ground.
00:29:19
cltruitt22
What's it? I mean, you go out of other places and, you know, like I've been. Where was it?
00:29:27
cltruitt22
Up in like Massachusetts or whatever, they're like Maryland style crab cakes. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is not a Maryland crab cake. Do your little frou frou, you know, New England thing to it, but don't call it Maryland.
00:29:40
pain
Most Maryland crab cakes suck anyways.
00:29:43
cltruitt22
ah You got to get one from, like, one of the islands.
00:29:46
pain
I mean, there are plenty of places that make crab cakes, but there are also most of them.
00:29:49
pain
Most of them that are marketed as Maryland crab cakes. They suck.
00:29:53
cltruitt22
so yeah, it's for those idiot tourists that come in.
00:29:55
pain
Yeah, yeah, totally.
00:29:57
cltruitt22
Which it's a bushel of crabs, $450.
00:30:07
cltruitt22
So can you imagine like taking a bushel of crabs to Deep Creek or somewhere before I get seven, $800?
00:30:12
pain
Yeah, yeah. I don't know how the crab shacks are still alive. Like, yeah.
00:30:17
cltruitt22
Because of idiot tourists.
00:30:21
pain
I mean, July 4th weekend is going to be crazy.
00:30:23
pain
You'll be talking $1,000.
00:30:24
pain
It's going to hit $1,000 this year.
00:30:27
pain
I think it was $700 last year for a bushel.
00:30:34
cltruitt22
I can't imagine that. I just can't imagine spending that much money to work that hard at food.
00:30:41
pain
That's, it's good. I like crabs, but
Nostalgia and Overrated Foods
00:30:44
pain
it ain't worth the money.
00:30:44
cltruitt22
Yeah, but Well, you've got to fight them to get him in the pot.
00:30:48
pain
Kung Fu with vitamin.
00:30:49
cltruitt22
And then then you've got to pick them and oh, my gosh, it's a lot of work.
00:30:57
pain
Yeah, the A-Shift was making fun of the kid from Connecticut because ah he called them shucking crabs or something.
00:31:01
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. What? Oh, I have to remember this.
00:31:07
pain
Yeah. And they were like, cause they, cause they looked at me like, the wizard, what do you call it when you get crabs? I'm like, well, I mean, it's an STD. You probably should go to a doctor.
00:31:15
cltruitt22
Yeah, usually you need to go to a doctor for that.
00:31:15
pain
They're like, no, no, no. You go to the crabs and you gotta get the meat out. How do you get the meat out? I'm like, well, I take a butter knife and I open a crab up and you know, no, no, no. What do you call that? I'm like, I don't know. Pick any crabs. Like, yeah, see, even Delaware knows. Like first off, fuck sticks. It's not the Maryland blue crab. It's just the blue crab. We got them in Delaware too.
00:31:38
pain
Um, yeah, side tangent to my side tangent, the same bar I'm at.
00:31:43
pain
Oh, I was going to ask you, what's a Reuben?
00:31:49
cltruitt22
So that's rye bread, usually a marbled rye bread.
00:31:56
cltruitt22
Shave, corned beef.
00:32:00
cltruitt22
ah Some sauerkraut. Thousand Island dressing.
00:32:04
cltruitt22
And is it Swiss?
00:32:08
pain
You nailed a Reuben. So if you were to go to a, I love a Reuben, you go to a bar and they have Rubens on the menu and one is Turkey and the other one is roast beef and they have coleslaw and it's not hot and it doesn't have thousand dollar dressing.
00:32:11
cltruitt22
And I don't even eat Rubens.
00:32:21
cltruitt22
What? What? What?
00:32:28
pain
Why would you call that a Reuben?
00:32:30
cltruitt22
That's no, you just have a ah weird roast beef sandwich or a weird turkey sandwich.
00:32:37
cltruitt22
See, people try to cash in on these names.
00:32:40
pain
Yeah. I was so mad. I was like, none of these are Rubens.
00:32:43
cltruitt22
You should have ordered one and then thrown it back at them.
00:32:43
pain
None of these are even close to Rubens. This is a roast beef sandwich.
00:32:49
pain
Take this peasant food back.
00:32:51
cltruitt22
God. yeah but Let me back in your kitchen and let me show you what a Reuben is.
00:32:52
pain
Get me a real Reuben. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy.
00:33:00
pain
It's because we've lost diner culture.
00:33:07
pain
Diners are always good for a patty melt and a Reuben.
00:33:10
cltruitt22
Yeah. I mean, there's no diners around here.
00:33:19
cltruitt22
I'm not old enough to go there.
00:33:22
pain
There's like three on Route 13, but the same thing. You had to be like 90 to go there.
00:33:26
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah, there used to be this lovely little diner in Seaford we would go to.
00:33:31
pain
It's still there, but it's renamed.
00:33:37
cltruitt22
It's like, what's the one, the silver something? I don't know. My sister goes that she used to go to that one in like Annapolis.
00:33:44
pain
I mean, we had Eagle Diner here in town and they closed and I said, how do you go out of business as a diner?
00:33:50
pain
I don't understand it.
00:33:51
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure there's some person out there that's like, well, Dennis, that's America's diner. No, it's not.
00:33:59
cltruitt22
It's a chain restaurant of whatever.
00:34:04
pain
Diner has to be run by some people who probably don't speak English.
00:34:08
pain
They're open way too late.
00:34:11
pain
then you can buy, get pancakes or a patty melt at the same time. Yeah. You want to get crazy?
00:34:18
cltruitt22
Yeah. And pay probably $5 and be stuffed.
00:34:23
cltruitt22
Yep. There's a waitress who looks like she's 105.
00:34:28
pain
It is not willing to put up with your crap.
00:34:29
cltruitt22
She's got the nicotine stained fingers.
00:34:32
pain
And they serve three drinks, coffee, tea, and water.
00:34:43
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:46
pain
Well, really the story on all this people is, don't eat meatballs.
00:34:53
cltruitt22
What about like a nice sweet and sour meatball?
00:34:55
pain
Now, I don't like sweet and sour or anything.
00:34:56
cltruitt22
A little appetizer, a little fork, or barbecue meatballs, like, you know.
00:35:01
pain
Like Swedish meatballs? Nah.
00:35:03
cltruitt22
and No, Swedish meatballs are weird. They got that weird, like, gray gravy on them.
00:35:06
pain
Yeah, and then they put lingonberry jelly in it, it's like, come on.
00:35:11
pain
Come on, sweet me a better taste in this.
00:35:15
cltruitt22
It's like everybody, you go to IQ, you yeah get the meatballs.
00:35:23
pain
my brother the other day was going to Ikea to get a bed frame. And I said, why are you going to Ikea? Now where he lives is nowhere in near Ikea.
00:35:31
pain
So he had to travel to the one outside of Baltimore.
00:35:33
cltruitt22
um Okay. Phew!
00:35:36
pain
Which is not that far from him, because he listened, but whatever.
00:35:39
cltruitt22
Yeah, I guess so. But still.
00:35:41
pain
But still, he's traveling an hour to get a bed frame.
00:35:43
pain
I'm like, you realize you get the same bed frame delivered to your house for 50 bucks on Amazon.
00:35:47
pain
We don't use Amazon. It's evil.
00:35:50
pain
what What's the difference between Amazon and IKEA at that point, brah?
00:35:54
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. No.
00:35:55
pain
But then he says, well, you want to come down to IKEA and meet us there? I'm like, what? Yes. I want nothing more than to hang out with you at the IKEA.
00:36:08
pain
We're gonna get some lingonberry jam to take home.
00:36:11
cltruitt22
Oh, my gosh. Fill your pockets with meatballs, kids. God. Do you have to buy the meatballs?
00:36:17
pain
i I couldn't tell you but I haven't been in IKEA.
00:36:22
cltruitt22
I've never been to an Ikea, so I don't know.
00:36:24
pain
I've been in one and I was probably 15.
00:36:33
cltruitt22
Amazon is evil.
00:36:37
cltruitt22
What? Oh, my gosh.
00:36:37
pain
I couldn't have the conversation at that point. I was like, they're both evil corporations, bud.
00:36:44
pain
Just pick your poison. It's not like there's a...
00:36:46
cltruitt22
so Does he do all his grocery shopping at the farmers market?
00:36:46
pain
You're not going down to... Right.
00:36:51
cltruitt22
Does it get his
00:36:51
pain
You're not going to Amish Bob to get your mattress made, bud.
00:36:56
pain
He's not stuffing it with his own goose feathers. Like, what do you think's happening here?
00:37:01
cltruitt22
Come down to Amish bobs. Well, you can pick the goose that we're gonna stuff your bed with.
00:37:10
pain
I want a mattress made from that goose.
00:37:17
pain
Oh oh my god. oh ah I sat down.
00:37:20
cltruitt22
Oh, what'd you do?
00:37:25
cltruitt22
ah Yeah, workouts will do that to you.
00:37:27
pain
This has been the worst thing I've ever done on myself.
00:37:32
cltruitt22
Is it a new exercise or?
00:37:32
pain
It's been great. Yeah, I tried a new thing called mesocycles and oh God, it hurts. It's pain. It's all pain. And then I was showboarding a little bit on my calf raises. I was like, I could do calf raises at 350 pounds.
00:37:49
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah, yeah, that sounds yeah.
00:37:54
pain
I can do them. I just, it hurts me apparently for the rest of my life. This is me now.
00:38:06
pain
Well, any other foods you think are overrated? Because, you know, my answer is sure.
00:38:12
cltruitt22
Um, I would say.
00:38:19
cltruitt22
Now, would you lump falafels in with meatballs?
00:38:23
pain
No. Well, delicious.
00:38:25
pain
That's a, that's a golden fried treat.
00:38:26
cltruitt22
Oh, okay. That's a cold.
00:38:30
pain
Yeah. It's a different thing.
00:38:32
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah, I don't know.
00:38:35
pain
I think the only thing with, ah ah yeah, that's fair.
00:38:36
cltruitt22
Anything with chicken.
00:38:41
cltruitt22
Yeah. Honestly, I would probably say crabs are overrated. It's just a lot of work.
00:38:46
pain
Yeah. They are overrated.
00:38:53
cltruitt22
Yeah. Now let me pick up this sea spider, rip its legs off, rip its shell off, dig through all its guts and gills and everything else. Hope that there isn't, you know, the feces all still in it and then eat this meat and probably get some shell in my mouth.
00:39:13
pain
I mean, is there a delicious, like, event?
00:39:17
pain
Crabs are more of an event, right?
Idiomatic Expressions and Culture
00:39:20
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. My wife, one time so she was like, Oh, we should get a bushel of cash this weekend. I was like, do you have time to pick all the crabs? When I was just, I was like, no, no, no, no, no. You don't just save the extra crabs. Like some of those animals that our work will do.
00:39:33
cltruitt22
Good. What do you have for lunch today? I brought some old crabs in. What?
00:39:39
pain

Well, it's now the, was it Legends or whatever? Come to breakfast once a year. Get you some dried out flapjacks and firehouse coffee. It's close to a diner.
00:40:11
pain
And it goes with diner but with the worst scrambled eggs you'll ever have.
00:40:16
cltruitt22
Well, eggs are gross anyway.
00:40:18
pain
No, eggs are delicious when people make them correctly.
00:40:20
cltruitt22
No, they're not. No, you you make them like runny porridge.
00:40:24
pain
Yeah, and they're delicious.
00:40:27
pain
People who make dried, rubbered eggs are, and then you say, I don't like eggs. You don't like eggs if you eat that crap all your life.
00:40:35
cltruitt22
medium every now and again, but.
00:40:36
pain
I love eggs. I'm early into soft boiled eggs now, but.
00:40:40
cltruitt22
And like fried rice with ah over medium egg, you cut into it, it all works together.
00:40:47
cltruitt22
Yeah. At lunch today, one of the guys got egg on his cheeseburger.
00:40:55
pain
That's fair. You know, I like a nice, you know.
00:40:56
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah. The certain deputy chief can't do that. It's delightful.
00:41:02
pain
It's delightful. It's extra protein for not too many colors.
00:41:03
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah, you that and you don't need to put mustard and stuff like that on it because you got the egg yolk.
00:41:09
pain
Yeah, yeah. It's delicious.
00:41:14
pain
People gotta be more friendly in the world.
00:41:19
pain
Yeah. Well, remember we're going move on to topic two.
00:41:24
cltruitt22
Sure. So I can't remember. Oh, so the other day. It got me thinking about some of the weird things that people say. Because if somebody said on it something was tough to do, like, man, that's harder than woodpecker lips. I was like, i yes, I never heard that one. So you know now I'm going to try to include that monofernacular anytime I can.
00:41:51
cltruitt22
But oh, yeah. But it got me thinking, I mean, there's some weird things we say.
00:41:55
pain
Um, crazier than a shithouse rat?
00:42:02
pain
All those shithouse rats I've seen in my life.
00:42:06
cltruitt22
ah Yeah. um But, know, let's see. For the birds. What the hell does that mean?
00:42:19
pain
Yeah, what the hell does that mean?
00:42:26
cltruitt22
i mean ah I guess, I mean, this is something that's useless or meaningless or only believable by the gullible. I guess because birds are gullible?
00:42:33
pain
Yeah, but I get that part. What's one of the, yeah, our birds.
00:42:41
pain
I have a side tangent before we move on. Cause I have to bring it up earlier.
00:42:45
pain
Have you watched the acolyte?
00:42:47
cltruitt22
I watched the first episode so far.
00:42:49
pain
Okay. Well, this has nothing to do with the episodes.
00:42:52
pain
So you won' won't ruin it for you.
00:42:54
pain
Have you seen any of the outrage ah about the acolyte?
00:43:00
pain
So there are people on the internets.
00:43:03
cltruitt22
Oh gosh. No, people on the internet outraged?
00:43:06
pain
Yes. And they're outraged that the Jedi don't come off looking very good in the acolyte. And I'm like, have any of you read anything Star Wars ever?
00:43:15
cltruitt22
heavy Have you learned anything? Yeah.
00:43:20
pain
Ever at all? Yeah. Move on.
00:43:26
cltruitt22
i I mean, yeah, I think we've kind of proven in previous episodes, talking that the Jedi really aren't great people.
00:43:33
pain
Yeah. Yeah. They're real bad.
00:43:36
cltruitt22
Oh, here's your special child. Let me kidnap them.
00:43:40
pain
Yeah. Yeah. Real bad.
00:43:43
cltruitt22
Uh, ballpark figure. How the hell does that mean anything in finance?
00:43:55
pain
Huh. I mean, I guess the idea is it's a...
00:43:58
pain
It's in the ballpark. Hmm.
00:44:02
cltruitt22
Yeah, I just, I don't know.
00:44:07
cltruitt22
Or why is something easy a piece of cake?
00:44:11
pain
Yeah, because cake's actually really hard to make.
00:44:18
pain
Actually, cake's a real pain in the ass, don't you?
00:44:28
cltruitt22
hu Yeah, because a piece of cake, easy as pie. Neither one of those are easy to make.
00:44:38
cltruitt22
Make a pie crust. That's fun.
00:44:39
pain
Yeah. And it takes thanks a good 13 minutes, right?
00:44:47
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yes, you have your butter cold and cut it in.
00:44:51
pain
Then you got to blind bake everything.
00:44:52
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah. Going Dutch.
00:44:59
pain
Yeah, is a Dutch known to be cheap?
00:45:03
cltruitt22
Well, to split things, I guess. Because going Dutch is when the guy and the girl pay, right?
00:45:09
pain
Yeah. And that's like considered being cheap, right? Like, which man, let me tell you.
00:45:14
cltruitt22
Well, I mean, I asked, I asked my oldest, I said, oh, yeah, she's going all day. I was like, are you guys going to go Dutch? And she's like, what does that mean?
00:45:24
pain
Yeah. But I feel like, you know, as an older person, I would never pay for a person to eat on their first date.
00:45:36
pain
What does, why is it called going in Dutch?
00:45:40
cltruitt22
That's what the world may never know.
00:45:44
pain
Doesn't make any sense.
00:45:45
cltruitt22
Yeah, long in the tooth.
00:45:49
pain
Well, that's a horse thing, right?
00:45:50
cltruitt22
Yeah, it is a worse thing.
00:45:51
pain
Yeah, because their teeth get longer or as they get older.
00:45:55
cltruitt22
Well, that yeah, their gums recede.
00:45:56
pain
And that's how you can tell if they're old.
00:46:03
cltruitt22
Uh, the graveyard shift?
00:46:07
cltruitt22
Why is it the graveyard shift?
00:46:08
pain
Yeah, why is it the graveyard shift?
00:46:10
pain
You're really blowing my mind here.
00:46:12
cltruitt22
Yeah, i see, that's the thing, man. There's all these things we say, and they did, yeah.
00:46:17
cltruitt22
More bang for your buck?
00:46:19
pain
Huh, going Dutch comes from the Anglo-Dutch Wars of the 17th century, ah where the English were trying to make fun of the Dutch.
00:46:33
pain
Yeah. There's also Dutch courage, which is like, I think the same thing as like, you know, liquid courage.
00:46:37
cltruitt22
Dutch courage.
00:46:44
pain
Or an Irish goodbye.
00:46:48
pain
I've met Irish people, they said goodbye.
00:46:51
cltruitt22
yeah yeah but Knock on wood.
00:46:58
cltruitt22
What's so lucky about hitting a piece of wood?
00:47:04
pain
Yeah, why his luck? Fun fact, in Guatemala, going Dutch is called Alele de Cristo, cada quien con su pisto. Which translates to, by the law of Christ, each one with his own stew.
00:47:26
pain
In El Salvador it's, le de esparta, cadaquien, paga lo que siharata, which means, Spartan law, each pays for what they eat.
00:47:36
cltruitt22
Now, it makes sense.
00:47:38
cltruitt22
Yeah, you got to go Spartan for night.
00:47:41
pain
Yeah, we want Spartan.
00:47:43
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah, so. If you've got a $20 bill and you need to make change, what do you call it? You ask somebody, hey man, can you what a 20?
00:47:55
pain
split a 20 break a 20 yeah definitely oh knocking on luck comes from old Celtic culture where knocking on tree trunks may have served arouse the spirits and calling them for protection
00:47:58
cltruitt22
Break. Yeah. Why would you say break? but But you've heard that. Hey, gosh, can you break? Can you break a 20 or something? You're not breaking the money.
00:48:22
cltruitt22
So really, if somebody's knocking on wood for luck, they need to knock on a tree, not a dead piece of wood.
00:48:28
pain
Yeah, yeah. Italians, meanwhile, say the phrase touch iron when trying to avoid tempting fate.
00:48:34
pain
So I have heard that because the spirits don't like the cold iron, right?
00:48:37
cltruitt22
Touch iron. Yeah, yeah. Isn't that why, like, wasn't it when your car, whenever a railroad tracks, you're supposed to touch a screw and pick your feet up or something?
00:48:47
pain
I've heard the spectrum of the feet up thing.
00:48:52
cltruitt22
Hmm. Yeah. So why we call it a fanny pack? Doesn't go on your fanny.
00:48:58
pain
like excuse No, but it does go on your fanny. They're meant to be worn behind.
00:49:03
pain
People wear them wrong all the time.
00:49:05
pain
They were designed to be right behind you.
00:49:15
cltruitt22
Hmm. For wear of a fanny pack. ah
00:49:23
cltruitt22
Call somebody a wet blanket.
00:49:26
pain
And I also think it's called fanny packs because old military packs used to have a little pack to hung down below the backpack. I think that was called a fanny pack.
00:49:36
pain
I'm sorry, what did you say? I missed it.
00:49:39
cltruitt22
I don't know. Oh, somebody's a wet blanket.
00:49:44
pain
Well, I just smothering you.
00:49:45
cltruitt22
I guess because it doesn't. Yeah.
00:49:53
pain
I, by the way, abhor fanny packs and I urge this generation to please please stop trying to be like the 90s yeah it's it's it's crazy hmm
00:50:04
cltruitt22
Oh, man, dude, this generation is so late 80s, early 90s. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Why do you call it horseback riding? Aren't you just horse riding? Do you have to say you're riding on its back? Does anybody go like horse belly riding?
00:50:28
cltruitt22
Oh, if you fall or like something like that. Oh, man, he ate it.
00:50:33
cltruitt22
but What do you mean?
00:50:36
pain
Uh, I think that's a skateboarding thing, right?
00:50:37
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure it is.
00:50:39
pain
That's how I feel like it's a skateboarding thing to me.
00:50:46
pain
Where does the phrase to a T come from?
00:50:49
cltruitt22
To a T. Hmm. I don't know.
00:50:56
pain
This says the shortened version of to a tittle. The word tittle refers to the tiny little additions you may have to make when writing letters. Things like to the dot in the I or the J or the cross in a T or an F.
00:51:11
pain
So to a T would be finishing it up. Hmm.
Language Oddities and Terminology
00:51:22
cltruitt22
was when I just saw?
00:51:26
cltruitt22
Why is it called Canadian bacon? It's ham.
00:51:29
pain
Well, because it's Canadian.
00:51:31
cltruitt22
But it's not bacon.
00:51:35
pain
Bacon is, we use it wrong.
00:51:39
pain
I think bacon just refers to the cut of meat.
00:51:43
cltruitt22
Yeah, but I thought it came from the belly.
00:51:50
cltruitt22
Because isn't bacon just part of pork belly or whatever?
00:51:53
pain
Yeah, but I don't think Canadian bacon is like from ham hocks.
00:52:00
pain
like where ham would be. You know what I'm saying?
00:52:11
cltruitt22
And it just says this name was created when it was first imported from Toronto to New York, commonly used for a form of back bacon that is cured, smoked, and fully cooked, trimmed into cylindrical medallions. It's sliced thick.
00:52:22
pain
Right, like, so it's not actually ham. It's backpack.
00:52:30
pain
I do like the fact that when I put it in, why is it...
00:52:32
cltruitt22
It's technically boneless loin.
00:52:35
cltruitt22
So it's actually like a really nice cut of the pig.
00:52:37
pain
Yeah. I do like when I put in, what why is it called Canadian? The first thing I came up with was why is it called a Canadian tuxedo?
00:52:45
cltruitt22
What the hell's a Canadian tuxedo?
00:52:46
pain
You don't know what a Canadian tuxedo is?
00:52:50
pain
So if somebody's wearing a denim jacket with jeans, that's a Canadian tuxedo.
00:52:55
cltruitt22
Oh, I did not know that.
00:53:00
pain
ah Oh, wow. The term comes from 1951 when Bing Crosby was denied entry to a Canadian hotel because he was wearing denim. Levi's then designed a denim tuxedo for Crosby to make it denim more formal, and he called it the Canadian tuxedo.
00:53:22
cltruitt22
Good old bing.
00:53:24
pain
Good wife beating Bing Crosby.
00:53:27
cltruitt22
Yeah. If you listen in some of the songs, you can actually hear him beating her.
00:53:32
pain
I don't know, I learned the entomology of the Canadian tuxedo.
00:53:36
pain
I always thought it was just making fun of Canadian people.
00:53:49
pain
Why we say something's a foot?
00:53:52
cltruitt22
I don't know. Feeder gross.
00:53:55
pain
And how's the door ajar?
00:53:57
cltruitt22
I. Oh, well, then you get into like the Gallagher stuff. Why is it? Why is it when you're building it? Or when you're done building the structure, it's a building.
00:54:12
cltruitt22
You go, oh, yeah, look at that building over there. It's already been built.
00:54:14
pain
This is the Gallagher thing of why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?
00:54:20
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, makes no sense.
00:54:23
pain
oh A jar comes from Middle English. A char on the turn or a turn referring to something slightly open.
00:54:32
pain
A skew comes from a skew Middle English in a skewed position.
00:54:37
cltruitt22
Oh, excuse me, makes sense.
00:54:37
pain
A light come comes from Ali Hatton, meaning to get down from or to come to rest.
00:54:43
pain
a loft comes from old Norse, a lofty, which means in the air.
00:54:49
pain
And a foot comes from on foot on fat, meaning on foot, old English in progress.
00:54:58
pain
Well, there are a lot today.
00:55:01
pain
I mean, I'm not doing any research on whether this could actually be true.
00:55:05
cltruitt22
Yeah. If the internet said it, it's got to be true.
00:55:08
pain
Yeah, it's gotta be true.
00:55:09
cltruitt22
Right? Yeah. it Yeah.
00:55:11
cltruitt22
Why do you chew the fat when you talk to somebody?
00:55:18
pain
That is really kind of disgusting that I never really thought of it that way.
00:55:23
pain
Because you don't really talk to somebody and chew fat at the same time. That's kind of gross.
00:55:33
cltruitt22
Yeah. When then there's just some of the ones that you can like, attribute to various hillbillies and shorebillies and yeah stuff like, oh yeah, that dog won't hunt. Okay. Get it? The dog won't hunt. Whatever. Okay.
00:55:55
cltruitt22
Yeah. It's still probably a sweet dog.
00:56:06
pain
This can't be correct.
00:56:07
pain
This is crazy. You've heard the term send it.
00:56:11
pain
Right, like the Utes say send it.
00:56:16
pain
It comes back from the 1937 or 1934. To communicate personal excitement to the listeners so that they feel the same emotion that he feels to delight ah listeners of drug addicts when they reach a full state of commitment, they are sent.
00:56:30
pain
It's the jargon of jazz.
00:56:45
cltruitt22
I don't you know what this means. Son of a biscuit eater.
00:56:48
pain
I've heard that before.
00:56:50
cltruitt22
Yeah, but what does it mean?
00:56:52
pain
I think maybe there's some derision in people in America, especially about people who eat biscuits being of a certain intelligence level.
00:57:02
cltruitt22
i Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, I will call somebody biscuit stupid. So.
00:57:08
pain
Which I'm sorry, British people, you're wrong. Biscuits are not cookies, cookies or cookies. Biscuits are biscuits.
00:57:19
pain
Biscuit means twice baked. Neither cookies nor biscuits are twice baked anymore.
00:57:26
pain
Stop with your crap.
00:57:28
cltruitt22
Yeah, because what did they call him that? Because he had to proof them then bake them.
00:57:33
pain
I have no idea why Americans call them biscuits, but I will say that French people don't call them, don't call cookies biscuits.
00:57:43
cltruitt22
What do they call them?
00:57:46
pain
That's a good question.
00:57:51
pain
is the French word for cookie.
00:57:56
cltruitt22
Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
00:57:58
pain
Oh, they do call it biscuit. Damn it.
00:58:02
cltruitt22
ah Damn you, French.
00:58:11
pain
I don't know. Yeah. OK, fair.
00:58:16
pain
But they also have the word cookie in French, which means cookie.
00:58:21
pain
How can you be a smart cookie?
00:58:27
pain
Or also, ah why would you say that person's a tough cookie?
00:58:27
cltruitt22
Keep fucking that chicken.
00:58:30
cltruitt22
What is that? Yeah. why yeah Yeah, I guess. Probably because in some language, cookie means leather or something.
00:58:52
pain
damn french with the biscuits alright what is the call?
00:58:56
pain
what now we gotta look into why americans call them biscuits well
00:59:05
cltruitt22
Rougher than a cob.
00:59:07
pain
i get that one we've
00:59:13
cltruitt22
Colder than a witch's tit.
00:59:14
pain
heard that one too you know
00:59:18
cltruitt22
Why do witches have cold titties?
00:59:22
pain
I don't have an answer for that one.
00:59:27
pain
That's a hard one to answer.
00:59:49
pain
so I would say a biscuit.
00:59:51
pain
Because it comes from biscotti, biscottas, which means twice cooked.
00:59:55
pain
Like if a ship's biscuit, that's a biscuit, right? Something that's been twice baked, so it lasts longest, lamb spreads.
01:00:02
pain
I think none of these are biscuits. That's what I'm going to say.
01:00:07
cltruitt22
Yeah, it's got to be, yeah, biscotti.
01:00:10
pain
Yeah, like a biscotti, right?
01:00:17
cltruitt22
Because that is something, they are twice baked, aren't they?
01:00:19
pain
Yeah, that's the whole thing.
01:00:21
cltruitt22
Yeah. God, these things are hard.
01:00:25
pain
You know, too hard for me.
01:00:29
cltruitt22
Yeah. So, yeah, I just, I don't know, somebody said something to the other, I was like, just what, what, what? No.
01:00:35
pain
Yeah, no, we've learned a lot of this.
01:00:41
pain
I mean, again, why is it a smart cookie?
01:00:46
cltruitt22
I don't know. A tough cookie. Smart cookie, tough cookie.
01:00:55
pain
sir Language is weird.
01:01:00
pain
I feel bad for anyone who has to try to learn English.
01:01:03
cltruitt22
Yeah. Okay. Why would you want to learn English?
01:01:07
pain
I mean, it is useful.
01:01:08
cltruitt22
To learn the three there's and.
01:01:12
cltruitt22
To the three twos.
01:01:17
cltruitt22
You know, we still have people that get our and our mixed up.
01:01:22
pain
I'm sure we get people who have hour, hour, and hour wrong. So yeah, I believe that.
01:01:29
cltruitt22
Okay, our is in yours and mine. Our is in time. What's the third one?
01:01:34
pain
Um, I don't know. Hour. Power. And also we get, there is a dumb word because it doesn't make sense. It doesn't follow our own rules.
01:01:54
pain
You know, we have a lot of dumb liars.
01:02:01
cltruitt22
Oh, I before E, except after C, unless it's an A as in neighbor in way.
01:02:10
pain
Yeah. And the worst part about English is you just have to like look at it and go, that's not right.
01:02:18
pain
You don't know why it's not right, but you just
Closing and Community Engagement
01:02:20
pain
have to look at it and go, that's not right.
01:02:20
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah. Let's say a word I haven't spelled in forever I was typing today punctuation I was like this just doesn't look right uh
01:02:32
pain
Schedule. Never looks right when you spell it.
01:02:36

pain
I've not lost anything in Australia, and if I did, the snakes can have it.
