Those strange sayings your parents repeated endlessly actually have fascinating origins. From "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" (which connects to pre-indoor plumbing practices) to "being here with bells on" (showing up enthusiastically), each expression carries surprising historical context that reveals how our ancestors lived.
Frank returns to the podcast for a deep dive into the colorful language our elders passed down. The conversation uncovers fascinating geographic differences between Brooklyn phrases like "it's brick outside" and Southern expressions like "nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs," showing how regional culture shapes our linguistic inheritance.
The most entertaining segments explore the sarcastic gems we all recognize - being told you're "as sharp as a bowling ball" or "a few clowns short of a circus" delivered criticism wrapped in humor. The hosts examine how expressions like "if you're working in the house, take your hat off" trace back to practical concerns from the horse-and-buggy era when hats protected from dust on dirt roads.
Beyond the laughs, the discussion touches on something deeper: how these phrases formed a cultural bridge between generations. Many sayings were already outdated when our parents used them, yet they continued passing them down. There's something profound about realizing the expression "don't take any wooden nickels" connects us to ancestors who had to bite coins to test if they were counterfeit.

Thanks for uh the opportunity.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Thank you for coming.
I guess it's perfect becauseit's.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
This is one of the ones that we like to do, like we
did last, we had the questionsthat we were giving one another
on the last podcast.
This is a that's you know thesame kind of genre.
You know the things you heardwhen you were growing up, those
the silly things or phrases thatyour parents would say, or even
grandparents yeah, it's uncleswhatever, or even people that
you knew.
You know, like have a pot topiss in, but you know, but not
(01:39):
have a window to throw it out of.
Yeah, so we got the origins, youknow things like, things like
that.
Yeah, your parents would saythat Don't look a gift horse in
the mouth.
Yeah, yeah, where did they comefrom?
Why did they say those things?
You know it's crazy.
Yeah, you know, Frank you grewup with that.
I know your parents.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah, I mean.
That's the time we grew up,when I heard we were when we
were going to be talking aboutthis.
You know, it's like scaryenough.
Some of the darker ones startedpopping in my head.
You know, like my dad drivingdown the Bell Parkway going,
don't make me pull this car over.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, because you knew that was coming.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, that kind of worked.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That is a lie, right, those are good ones, though.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So don't look a guitarist in the mouth.
What does that actually mean?
Right Go ahead.
Don't criticize or question thevalue of something you got for
free.
Take it, thank you and go onyour way.
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Go in peace my son.
Yeah, that makes sense Right Bethankful for what you're
getting Exactly.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it
out of Meaning.
You're very poor, have no moneyor property at all.
Yeah, that's a good one, butalso I also heard that back in
the day, you know, in Europethey just threw it right out the
window.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, so they would pee in the pot in a piss pan
have women walk on the outsideright.
What do you think it?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
was, I wasn't, I forgot.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
What was it?
That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, that's what it was.
You know what you might beright on that one.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, because I think it was that the women walked on
the inside so that this way,because the trajectory of the
urine or feces that was in thepot, I thought it was to keep
them safe from anything on theother side that side that was us
later.
On.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that might be true?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That might be true, yeah, yeah.
No, I think it was for us, whenwe, you know, for us, that's
what it was.
It was, you know, keeping thegirl on the inside, like to
protect her, and such.
For back in the day before theyhad toilets, they would have
women walk on the inside andthat was, the men started to
(03:46):
wear hats all the time so thatthis way, if anybody emptied out
their pee pans from the housesand throwing them out the window
, that it wouldn't land on theguy's head.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
It would land on the hat Okie dokie, that's pretty
interesting and people say wehaven't evolved as a society.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah right, I'm just saying At least he found one
spot to pinion and not out thewindow.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Think of the plumbing man.
I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, yes, the Roman Empire.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes, indoor plumbing.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's right.
That is too funny, all right,all right.
How about this one?
Don't throw the baby out withthe bath water, right?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Why not.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
If that's your little shit, don't shut up.
No, if he's acting up, no, allright.
So that came from.
It says don't discard somethingvaluable when trying to get rid
of something unwanted.
All right, okay, that's cool, Icould do with that, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
That's a little scary , though.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
right yeah, the one that throw the baby out the
window and I'm sure the originsof that one is probably the same
as the pot to piss in time,because you threw out the bath
water Right, you didn't have adrain system.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
There's no sewer system.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
You had to carry the water out of the bath water.
You had to just carry it out.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So don't throw out the baby with the bath water.
Yeah, jack, and.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Jill went up the hill .
Yeah, crazy stuff, that's agood one.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I didn't even think about that, tom, I'll show up
cheerfully and enthusiastically.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
There you go, there you go.
But that one we knew I think weall did.
That's me, that's Frank when hesaid that when he heard we was
coming on the show again, he washere with bells on.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, see, yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Hopefully someday I'll be there and I can get on
that.
Youtube channel with you guys,and I'll bring you, I'll be
there with bells on.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, come on.
I'll laugh if you roll up inhere with the bells on around
your neck.
That would be great, that wouldbe funny.
Speaker 4 (05:31):

dull-witted, clueless oroblivious.
Yeah, used to roast someonegently, or not so gently, right.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Eh eh to roast someone gently, or not so gently

Speaker 3 (06:26):
I'm reading the one and I'm just hearing it in like
the most like stereotypicalsouthern accent.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut, that is
too funny.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's awesome, man so Frank you being out there,
though, frank, is there anythingthat you've heard that you
hadn't heard?
Like growing up in the city, inBrooklyn?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, like you know, what's the big you know the
phrases out in Tennessee versuswhere you and I grew up in
Brooklyn, new York or aroundJersey.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I mean, you know, growing up here in Tennessee is
like oh wee, you find it at anew set of snow tires.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
But you know, back in Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It was like when I was your age.
I walked 10 miles to school.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, uphill Both ways, both ways.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And five feet of snow In the snow.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Barefoot.
Yeah, that's right, with holesin my Converse, right my ProKeds
.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
That's funny.
What was the other one?
You said Tom.
The other one?
You just said oh no, no, that'sthe one I read before.
Oh, okay, okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, see now, I like the sarcastic ones.
I'm not going to lie, I likethose because I think those are
funny.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
This is one I use a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I say that's not like cup of tea.
That put hair on my chest.
That was one back in the day,oh yeah dude yeah.
You know, said jokingly aboutsomething tough, yep, strong
liquor or food, implying it'llmake you manly.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Mmm.
Stud muffin.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Put hair on your chest.
See, I got some.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What were you going to say?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Frank.
Back to the sarcastic ones.
You know like I picture my dadgoing oh, close the door.
What are you living in a barn,yeah, oh yeah, Remember that
yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, my father would say if you work in the house,
take your hat off.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
But that was respectful wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
That was a thing.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Because it was more military.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Do you know why it's rude to wear a hat indoors?
No, because it's going backfrom the days when people used
to still use horse and buggies,and it would be dirt roads, uh
huh the like the wooden tires,the wooden wheels would kick up
a lot of dust from the dirtroads so people will wear hats
because you would have dust inyour hair.
So if you wore the hat insideyou it was rude because did you
(08:46):
bring the?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
dust.
You're bringing all the dust onit from the outside gotcha well
there you go it's outdated,though.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Now it's like oh, take your hat off.
Yeah, like.
Yeah, it's like kind of like anoutdated thing, yeah, still
well, no, because if you'reoutside and you're, you know
you're walking around there'sstill dust and dirt or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You know you're walking and shit you know we
have it really good when youthink about what we have right
now.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Right, we come home, we have our water, yeah yeah but
you think people back in thatday how they had to survive.
You know, they didn't have thatuntil later on.
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So then that was a luxury yeah, but isn't it funny
how these, how these sayings gothat far back, far back, yeah,
like where it's even outdated,like like, yeah, don't even, it
doesn't there are a lot ofpeople still say, you know,
especially from my era you know,if you're still gen x, you know
well yeah, yeah, you say,because your parents said it
yeah, but it was even outdatedwhen our parents generated.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I'm saying yeah, they go back generations.
Yeah, you know, like a Watt potnever boils.
Yeah, how far back does that go?
I can picture like a familysitting around a fire outside.
Is it ready yet, Pa?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah man, holy cow, those are crazy.
You're going to say, lou,colder than a well digger's butt
, really, january I've heard.
Colder than a witch's tit.
That one I heard, all right, sothen I mean same thing it's
cold.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I read that one.
It said you're so cold, you'recold to the bone.
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah right, there's a saying they used to have in
Jersey, but my friend Steve, andhe was from Queens he said they
said it too.
So I don't know if it was saidin Brooklyn too, but have you
ever heard the term, for whenit's cold, it's brick outside?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, still say it.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah, it's brick.
Yeah, yo it's freaking brickout there.
It's crazy brick Like yo.
It's super brick out there.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
But, Louie, maybe you can lookthis one up You're the bee's
knees.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Oh yeah, we're the bee's knees.
I actually have that one.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's on this list.
Actually, I forgot, I didn'tknow what that means.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I never knew what that meant, though, and I guess
I was too lazy to look it up, soI guess I didn't really give it
, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Right, yeah, Lou, you're going to have to find
that there.
Yeah, I'll find it.
I'm going to do this.
The sarcastic one About asuseful as a screen door on a
submarine yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Don't let the door hit you where the Lord split you

Yeah, because I don'tunderstand that Meaning directly
from the original or mostreliable source.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
No, okay, I thought it was coming from.
That's pretty good stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, I thought that the first person that it was
referenced to looked like ahorse.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I get it, that makes sense.
Oh, here it goes.
The bee's knees, what?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
does it mean?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Meaning really cool or great.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, the bee's knees .
Yeah, some of these I neverheard.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Now I guess I know why I didn't have to look that
up.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, it was more common sense than we thought.
I thought there was a littlebit more deeper meaning to it.
Somebody's I never heardNervous as a long-tailed cat in
a room full of rocking chairs.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I've heard that one.
I've never heard that onebefore.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But think about it though.
How much does that make sense?
Yeah, Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Because then too there was cartoons.
They used to make sense yeah,hell, yeah, yeah.
Because then too there wascartoons.
They used to show that, yeah,the cat's sitting right next to
the old lady's chair and she'srocking, and the husband next
and he's like, he's just likeswinging his tail, yeah, falls
asleep and gets caught.

of stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Running around like a chicken with no head on.
But, his head cut off.
I'm sorry, Meaning act, franticpanicked, usually getting
nothing done.
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Which is, you know, the way they used to do it when
they used to harvest the chicken.
Yeah, you'd used to chop itshead off, throw it up in the end
.
It would run around basicallyuntil it, you know, till the
blood gushed out of it and fell,and that was that no way, that
would be good, that well again,that makes sense that makes
crazy man.
Speaker 1 (13:59):

Here's a good one that's very popular still to
this day is if it ain't broke,don't fix it.

That means, if you got a good system working if
things are going well, thatmeans keep you know, keep it
going.

And then there's another onethat's been off of that.

Speaker 3 (17:55):

piece of bread.

Just a size daily piece of bread in the corner, no
, so a piece of bread is good.
Speaker 3 (20:00):

They say, oh, I almost got it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Almost only counts with horseshoes and hand
grenades Right.

Which is true.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
That's what they would say Holy shit.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Oh, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
That's true, that is too.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
If you go back to like some of the stuff your
parents said to you growing up.
What's some of the?
You know the definites.
Like me it was, you know if Idid something and mom was like,
oh, wait until your father getshome.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Oh, yeah, yeah, because that's where the
beating's coming.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
You know, I mean that's pretty straightforward,
but you know what that means,right yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
man, yeah man, yeah man.
Even a blind pig finds an acornonce in a while, that's right.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, that's
right.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
It's just amazing how much there is.
You know the things that wesaid.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
The dog won't hunt Useless as a chocolate teapot?
Yeah, because I guess it'll,melt It'll melt.
Yeah, that's for sure.
That is freaking hilarious man.
I mean, like you said, likewhat I was saying before, just
so many things that we came upwith just on the fly.
Look at Tom still going with it.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
What you got Tom as Just on the fly Look at Tom
still going with him.
What you got Tom as welcome asa turd in a punch bowl.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, that's what I was saying before.
Yeah, man.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Isn't that crazy yeah .
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The food-related ones are serious.
There's another one that was onthere.
I was like oh, no love, no love, yeah man.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Remember that thing.
You used to hear your parentssaid Uh-oh, you get a chill.
Your parents said someonewalked over your grave.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, yeah, remember that you ever hear that one, tom
.
What when you get the chills,like you're just sitting here
and somebody?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
walked over your grave.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Oh yeah, I heard that one before.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
That's a weird one.
That's a weird one.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
That never made any sense to me.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
And the scary thing is that was the parents who
actually yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Or the other one is like if your ears ring and
you're like someone's talkingabout me, right, my ears are
ringing, that's exactly right.
But now that is superstition.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Huh, that would be a superstition, possibly it was
carried down from you know,their parents, to them Right, to
us Right, and it just it'seventually, at some point it
starts to fade away, I guess,because I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
When they used to say that you know you get the
chills, and I mean somebody'swalking over your grave, I would
be upset.
I'm like well, who the fuckburied?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
me where Right.
So basically you have died,already.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Right, yeah, that's the one.
That's the weirdest one.
You died already.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And right now it's just what happened already.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah that's so weird.
Weird, that's so weird.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, I know right like like oh, someone just
walked on my grave, wait, wait,are we dead, are we like?
No playing, so you're feelingwhat you are like.
What's going on here now?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
see you guys went dark you know I was like you
know, no, I'm what.
I went the other way.
I was like you know, like well,I can't even think of what I
was gonna say now, because youguys just had me, am I dead?
Am I in the matrix?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
like right, exactly, right, exactly.
That's why it doesn't makesense.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's why it's a stupid saying.
Really, when you think about it, it's probably a superstitious
one.
Yeah, yeah, you know, probablymore geared in that area because
of that.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
That is too freaking funny.
That is too freaking funny.
Yeah, no, yeah.
I'm good, I'm good.
Yeah, I'm good, I'm good, yeah,oh, where there's smoke,
there's fire, that's right.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Make sure we don't accidentally press the buttons,
oh no, no the buttons over here.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
What about like?
You're barking up the wrongtree.
Oh, you're barking up the wrongtree there you go oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Because it ain't me there, buddy.
It's not me.
I mean, I get it.
A dog will chase something up atree and they'll stand there
and they'll bark, but what doesit mean?
Up a wrong tree?
I?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
mean what they're barking for isn't up the tree.
It's what they're barking for,isn't it Right?
But what's on the tree?
Speaker 4 (26:19):
A squirrel?
No, what's on the tree?
A squirrel, See.
I look at it and it's like no,what's on the tree Bark?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Nah.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Nah, that's a reach, I mean ultimately.
I think it means you know, like, if you know, a four-foot man
starts telling a six eight guyhey, I'm going to kick your ass.
To me, that's your boss, yeahyeah, yeah, because you're not
busting this ass.
Speaker 2 (26:46):

The younger generation doesn'teven know what Rolodex is.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, yeah, they have no, you know, the scary thing
about that is, you know, if theyever, you know, shut down the
power.
The Rolodex is reliable, thethings we're speaking into right
now.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, but you know what the crazy part is, though,
is there's no, you don't evenknow how to write it down
anymore.
Like, where would you even keepyour Rolodex now?

a much bigger Billy Joe fan.
He actually turned me into thenut I am on oh, billy Joe dude,
I had to listen to Captain Jackone more time.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I really killed the buzz.
Speaker 3 (31:26):

be phone book.
Oh yeah, I used to have alittle phone book.

I used to have a little phonebook, a little phone book.
I used to have a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh,composition book.
Dude, that's a big house Acomposition book.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
When you get bored, you can always color in the
little white things on the front.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I've done that too.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Holy shit, I forgot about that, my God you know you
started out at the beginning ofthe year.
You know it's all nice andpristine.
By the second month, you'relike maybe just a couple of
years.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I'm going to make a design, yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Holy shit, he just got a blank.
He could just black it out YoIf he wanted to Exactly right.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
That is too funny.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Sorry, I kind of got us off track.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
No, it's all good.
It's all good, it's all good.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
All right, well, strike while the iron's hot,
yeah, yeah yeah, no lie, thatwas just funny.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the hell is that we fixed
it.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
No, we didn't.
It's vibrating off of something.
Sorry, we had some feedback.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, just a little feedback.
I don't know where it's comingfrom.
Sorry that me.
No, no, no, I don't think so Idon't think so.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
It's weird.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah, talking anything, hello, yeah, Hello.
When you held that in, itstopped.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Did it, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Assume you'll cut this out.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, yeah, maybe we might Well, if not really.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That's going to be hard.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
It's all right.
All right, we'll just keepgoing.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Is this on no.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Now, that was a perfect example.
The three of you trying tofigure it out.
It's the perfect one for that.
Too many cooks spoil the gravy.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.
Remember that one.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Here you go.
Too many chefs in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, that is funny.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Which I said every Christmas.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Eve, there you go and not Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
No Thanksgiving, they all left them.
My wife well, actually Nancywould handle Thanksgiving for
Well, no Thanksgiving, they allleft them.
My wife well, actually Nancywould handle Thanksgiving for
the most part, but dad wouldalways try to challenge her on
the turkeys.
So we always had like 57 poundsof turkey because we had to
have two turkeys, you know, andit was always a turkey off.
But that's all good stuff.
(33:49):
Yeah, yeah, off.
But that's all good stuff, yeah,yeah of course Alright, so can
anybody tell me and Lou, youmight know this one don't take
any wooden nickels, that's gottabe real.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Frank, let me ask you a question.
Where are you sitting right now?
Are you in the same spot youwere before?
Okay, because we felt like wewere getting some, you know,
like you were fading out therefor a minute.
Yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
You good, how's this?
Can you hear me now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I hear you Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah, we didn't want to lose you.
It sounds kind of funky.
Something just sounded kind offunky.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yeah, don't screw this up.
I want to be invited back again.
It back again.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yeah, yeah, we made fun of somebody and it's coming
back to mess with us and it'llprobably come off on.
It'll come out on a watch.
One call when we hear it.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, probably when I felt it right there.
Not a big deal, anyways, justignore it.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, it is what it is, but was that when you said,
Frank, Sorry?
Speaker 4 (34:43):
not that one.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I haven't heard that one in a long time, by the way,
Don't take any wooden nickels.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
There you go, wooden nickels, yeah, wooden nickels,
because when people they wouldgive away those fake nickels and
then they would bite on theRight and they would see if it
was real.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Yeah, so it's just a matter of people getting over on
people.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
It's such a shame that even today that still
happens, it will happen and itwill always happen.
Yeah, and like they used tofake ones, cause they will.
They will bite into them andthen try to bend it, because if
we made a mark, then you knewthat it was a fake nickel or a
fake change, fake money orwhatever.
So, yeah, that's insane.
That is insane, man.
How much in how much in reality.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Hello, hello, hello.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Okay, how much in reality these sayings came in.
You know what I mean, how muchstuff that we did, that we said,
and it all came to fruition.
I guess we'll say Not fruition,I don't want to say it like
that, but all the things that wemade up, all the sayings that
we had, they were all part ofsomething that happened in real
life or was going on in reallife.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
That happened in real life or was going on in real
life.
But you know the thing thatkills me?
I guess I never really thought,like if I would have thrown out
there oh, beggars can't bechoosers, I, you know, never
really connected how thatactually would apply to me.
You know what I mean.
But it all makes sense now, andLouie and I were talking about
(36:10):
this earlier, I think it's aboutus getting a little bit older,
where things you know start toreveal themselves as to what
they actually meant.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, man.
Cause the more you think aboutall the things that we said,
like you said, the sayings wereto something.
Like they say, jokes are basedon truth, you know, on a reality
.
So that then now, when we makethese funnies, and you know,
like I said, it was almost likea short version of everything
(36:40):
that we did or that we weredoing that particular moment,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Yeah, it's wild I still remember, though, if I
would have tried something and Ireally screwed it up, and I'd
go to my dad, or even my uncle,for that matter, and I'm like to
my my dad, or even my uncle,for that matter, and I like,
yeah, you know, I tried thisthing and it happened, and they
go yeah, you're a day late and adollar short yeah, exactly,
yeah, I remember that.
I was like thank you, I feelthe love in that and that is
(37:08):
hilarious.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I love it.
Yeah, exactly right, right,right it is true.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
It is true, man, because, like I said, all the
things that we would think about.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I mean that is hilarious, I love it.
Yeah, exactly Right, right,right, it is true.
It is true, man, because, likeI said, all the things that we
would think about, I mean it'sjust insane.
I think it's just funny.
Like, as far as jokes areconcerned, certain stories that
you know have that moral ending,if you will.
It's all stuff that we livedthrough in some way, shape or
(37:33):
form.
Yeah, I don't think the stuffthat we watched would be allowed
on TV.
Oh, definitely not.
Like, when we were talkingabout this, we said Spaceballs 2
was coming out.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know it's like things like that
.
That'd be funny.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
You know, if that actually happens, which I hope
it does, I don't even know ifthe younger generation would
actually be able to appreciateit the way we would.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I think he knows that already.
I think he knows that becauseit's the people who loves him
he's doing it.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
But you know, the thing that scares me, though, is
you're right, he does know that, but it makes me afraid that
he's going to alter it to apoint to be able to.
You know, oh, I have to thinkabout I don't know.
You think so to be able to, youknow, oh, I have to think about
this category of folks, I mean,I hope not, but you know.
I'm going to be there one wayor the other.
(38:21):
We're going to find out,hopefully.
Well, you know what May theSchwartz be with?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
you.
May the Schwartz be with you.
Yes.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
The kids love it.
Yeah, the flamethrower, theflamethrower.
Yes, Space balls theflamethrower.
But you know what though?
Speaker 2 (38:36):
It's different jokes.
I think that's what we're goingto have to realize too.
You know what I mean.
It's different funnies that wehave, or we had, than the kids
have.
Does that make sense?
So then all the jokes.
So all that make sense.
So then all the jokes.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
So all the jokes for us we're gonna make.
That's kind of lame, but thekids will get it well, but
that's what I'm saying though.
So you know my fear is okay,we're the we're the true fans,
right, and he's gonna have tomodify it such that a younger
generation would be able to getit.
But being the older generationwould be like what the fuck does
that mean?
I hope he's able to find just anice, even mix in between.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I think he could.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Here's the point he's one of the greatest.
If anybody could do it, he can.
I'm going to be 57.
My daughters are half my age.
We both can sit down and watchYoung Frankenstein and laugh.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Oh yeah, yeah you got it.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Put it on the wrist.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Put it on the wrist.
You ever seen that movie?
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I love that movie, bro.
That's my favorite part.
It's so good.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
That.
Love that movie, bro.
That's my favorite part.
That's so good, louis and I wetorture each other throughout
the years.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
We send clips.
I can't believe it.
Frankenstein yes, Frankenstein.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Not Frankenstein.
Why isn't it FrederickFrankenstein?
Yes, it is.
It's a perfect folk name.
I agree, you must be Iger.
Yes, Yo that's the greatest,though you go out.
They were wrong.
Then one day.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yo, I love it, man, you know, and that's what.
Like you said things like thatclassic man what is all classic.
But you know, that's wheresayings came from.
That's when you know we wouldjust come up with things because
movies influenced us to saythings and comparisons to have
the funny things that we weredoing.
You know earlier, Right, right,exactly.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
It's just a Well.
You have some crazy comediesLike think about Airplane and
all those kind of parodies thatstarted coming out and then they
just started getting worse.
You know what I mean?
It's just getting in that hand,I think.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
But remember when Airplane first came out yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
It was hysterical.
Yo, yo Don't call me Shirley.
Yeah, don't call me ShirleyHospital.
It is great.
What's that?
Yeah, that's a tall building.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Yeah, and you know what?
You couldn't do that, even thatmovie, if you took the original
movie and put it in a theaterand let everybody in for free.
I guarantee you, by the end ofthe movie there'd be like a
billion lawsuits.
Yeah, oh, I was offended.
Yeah, you know, and it's likelighting the fuck up.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yeah, Well, for our day it was different, right,
Right right, yeah, we, you knowit was.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Those were real funnies because we were making
those same kind of jokes I was.
I saw a real thing on socialmedia and there was a guy
playing rap music older rapmusic, yeah yeah and some young
kids were listening to it andthey were losing their freaking
mind Like he said that, howcould he say that?
And it was Eminem.
(41:52):
So Eminem isn't even like thatold school you know kind of
thing, but that people werebugging out over Eminem's raps,
what he was saying, who he wastalking about.
Like oh my God, I can't believehe said that.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Yeah, but they didn't listen to the words.
They were listening to thewords, yeah, but they took it
for something else, when hemeant something else.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Right, they weren't associating it, that he was
talking about his family or youknow, he was just a lyricist.
You know what I'm saying?
Just a rapper.
Right, they're just like oh myGod, how could he say that?
But meanwhile, when you listento some of these rappers and
some of the shit that they'resaying, it's like dude, like
really You're not even sayinganything.
You're not even saying anything, you know it's.
(42:34):
There's no message, there's notalking about your feelings
there's, no, there's nothingbehind it.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
But you know right, yeah, you're right and and
because the rap back then wasabout what they were living.
Right.
You know what, what washappening on the street, how
they were raising, you knowgrowing, what they had to do to
survive.
That's what rap started outwith.
And so you know when you listento LL or you listen to Ice Cube
(42:59):
, or you listen to even earlyEminem or Dr Dre, even Snoop,
for that matter.
They're all talking about whatthey were living.
And hey, they come out there,they just pick this arbitrary uh
subject and they create a rapabout it, but they don't really
(43:20):
know anything about it.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
They didn't live it Right and that's the difference
between the two, yup, and that'swhy we're so great, just saying
just saying you know you'regoing to make me want to put on
my run DMC after this.
There you go, yes, Go out thereand just blast it out in the
backyard man and enjoy it.
So with that, frank, my brotherman, appreciate you being here
(43:44):

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Thanks for uh the opportunity.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Thank you for coming.
I guess it's perfect becauseit's.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
This is one of the ones that we like to do, like we
did last, we had the questionsthat we were giving one another
on the last podcast.
This is a that's you know thesame kind of genre.
You know the things you heardwhen you were growing up, those
the silly things or phrases thatyour parents would say, or even
grandparents yeah, it's uncleswhatever, or even people that
you knew.
You know, like have a pot topiss in, but you know, but not
(01:39):
have a window to throw it out of.
Yeah, so we got the origins, youknow things like, things like
that.
Yeah, your parents would saythat Don't look a gift horse in
the mouth.
Yeah, yeah, where did they comefrom?
Why did they say those things?
You know it's crazy.
Yeah, you know, Frank you grewup with that.
I know your parents.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah, I mean.
That's the time we grew up,when I heard we were when we
were going to be talking aboutthis.
You know, it's like scaryenough.
Some of the darker ones startedpopping in my head.
You know, like my dad drivingdown the Bell Parkway going,
don't make me pull this car over.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, because you knew that was coming.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, that kind of worked.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That is a lie, right, those are good ones, though.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So don't look a guitarist in the mouth.
What does that actually mean?
Right Go ahead.
Don't criticize or question thevalue of something you got for
free.
Take it, thank you and go onyour way.
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Go in peace my son.
Yeah, that makes sense Right Bethankful for what you're
getting Exactly.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it
out of Meaning.
You're very poor, have no moneyor property at all.
Yeah, that's a good one, butalso I also heard that back in
the day, you know, in Europethey just threw it right out the
window.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, so they would pee in the pot in a piss pan
have women walk on the outsideright.
What do you think it?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
was, I wasn't, I forgot.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
What was it?
That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, that's what it was.
You know what you might beright on that one.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, because I think it was that the women walked on
the inside so that this way,because the trajectory of the
urine or feces that was in thepot, I thought it was to keep
them safe from anything on theother side that side that was us
later.
On.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that might be true?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That might be true, yeah, yeah.
No, I think it was for us, whenwe, you know, for us, that's
what it was.
It was, you know, keeping thegirl on the inside, like to
protect her, and such.
For back in the day before theyhad toilets, they would have
women walk on the inside andthat was, the men started to
(03:46):
wear hats all the time so thatthis way, if anybody emptied out
their pee pans from the housesand throwing them out the window
, that it wouldn't land on theguy's head.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
It would land on the hat Okie dokie, that's pretty
interesting and people say wehaven't evolved as a society.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah right, I'm just saying At least he found one
spot to pinion and not out thewindow.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Think of the plumbing man.
I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, yes, the Roman Empire.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes, indoor plumbing.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's right.
That is too funny, all right,all right.
How about this one?
Don't throw the baby out withthe bath water, right?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Why not.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
If that's your little shit, don't shut up.
No, if he's acting up, no, allright.
So that came from.
It says don't discard somethingvaluable when trying to get rid
of something unwanted.
All right, okay, that's cool, Icould do with that, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
That's a little scary , though.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
right yeah, the one that throw the baby out the
window and I'm sure the originsof that one is probably the same
as the pot to piss in time,because you threw out the bath
water Right, you didn't have adrain system.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
There's no sewer system.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
You had to carry the water out of the bath water.
You had to just carry it out.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So don't throw out the baby with the bath water.
Yeah, jack, and.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Jill went up the hill .
Yeah, crazy stuff, that's agood one.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I didn't even think about that, tom, I'll show up
cheerfully and enthusiastically.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
There you go, there you go.
But that one we knew I think weall did.
That's me, that's Frank when hesaid that when he heard we was
coming on the show again, he washere with bells on.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, see, yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Hopefully someday I'll be there and I can get on
that.
Youtube channel with you guys,and I'll bring you, I'll be
there with bells on.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, come on.
I'll laugh if you roll up inhere with the bells on around
your neck.
That would be great, that wouldbe funny.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
You'll hear me jingling up the driveways.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yes, it's going to be a Christmas episode.
That's great.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Oh, and you guys know , I always love those.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Okay, here we go, we'll go one a little bit
sarcastic, uh-huh, oh yeah.
Bright as a cave, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, I love that one .
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, see, so that's a sarcastic gem right there,
because someone or something isnot very bright at all,
dull-witted, clueless oroblivious.
Yeah, used to roast someonegently, or not so gently, right.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Eh eh to roast someone gently, or not so gently
, right.
So that's it About the same, asyou're as sharp as a bowling
ball.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
There you go.
I love those.
Yeah, I like the sarcastic ones, if you didn't know, Well, this
one.
It said right there Lou sharpas a marble.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Sharp as a marble.
I always said it as bowlingball.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That is funny.
You found anyone you like, Tom.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I love these man.
These are great Tom is readingthe list.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I'm reading the one and I'm just hearing it in like
the most like stereotypicalsouthern accent.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut, that is
too funny.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's awesome, man so Frank you being out there,
though, frank, is there anythingthat you've heard that you
hadn't heard?
Like growing up in the city, inBrooklyn?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, like you know, what's the big you know the
phrases out in Tennessee versuswhere you and I grew up in
Brooklyn, new York or aroundJersey.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I mean, you know, growing up here in Tennessee is
like oh wee, you find it at anew set of snow tires.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
But you know, back in Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
It was like when I was your age.
I walked 10 miles to school.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, uphill Both ways, both ways.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And five feet of snow In the snow.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Barefoot.
Yeah, that's right, with holesin my Converse, right my ProKeds
.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
That's funny.
What was the other one?
You said Tom.
The other one?
You just said oh no, no, that'sthe one I read before.
Oh, okay, okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, see now, I like the sarcastic ones.
I'm not going to lie, I likethose because I think those are
funny.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
This is one I use a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I say that's not like cup of tea.
That put hair on my chest.
That was one back in the day,oh yeah dude yeah.
You know, said jokingly aboutsomething tough, yep, strong
liquor or food, implying it'llmake you manly.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Mmm.
Stud muffin.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Put hair on your chest.
See, I got some.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What were you going to say?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Frank.
Back to the sarcastic ones.
You know like I picture my dadgoing oh, close the door.
What are you living in a barn,yeah, oh yeah, Remember that
yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, my father would say if you work in the house,
take your hat off.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
But that was respectful wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
That was a thing.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Because it was more military.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Do you know why it's rude to wear a hat indoors?
No, because it's going backfrom the days when people used
to still use horse and buggies,and it would be dirt roads, uh
huh the like the wooden tires,the wooden wheels would kick up
a lot of dust from the dirtroads so people will wear hats
because you would have dust inyour hair.
So if you wore the hat insideyou it was rude because did you
(08:46):
bring the?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
dust.
You're bringing all the dust onit from the outside gotcha well
there you go it's outdated,though.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Now it's like oh, take your hat off.
Yeah, like.
Yeah, it's like kind of like anoutdated thing, yeah, still
well, no, because if you'reoutside and you're, you know
you're walking around there'sstill dust and dirt or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You know you're walking and shit you know we
have it really good when youthink about what we have right
now.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Right, we come home, we have our water, yeah yeah but
you think people back in thatday how they had to survive.
You know, they didn't have thatuntil later on.
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So then that was a luxury yeah, but isn't it funny
how these, how these sayings gothat far back, far back, yeah,
like where it's even outdated,like like, yeah, don't even, it
doesn't there are a lot ofpeople still say, you know,
especially from my era you know,if you're still gen x, you know
well yeah, yeah, you say,because your parents said it
yeah, but it was even outdatedwhen our parents generated.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I'm saying yeah, they go back generations.
Yeah, you know, like a Watt potnever boils.
Yeah, how far back does that go?
I can picture like a familysitting around a fire outside.
Is it ready yet, Pa?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah man, holy cow, those are crazy.
You're going to say, lou,colder than a well digger's butt
, really, january I've heard.
Colder than a witch's tit.
That one I heard, all right, sothen I mean same thing it's
cold.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I read that one.
It said you're so cold, you'recold to the bone.
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah right, there's a saying they used to have in
Jersey, but my friend Steve, andhe was from Queens he said they
said it too.
So I don't know if it was saidin Brooklyn too, but have you
ever heard the term, for whenit's cold, it's brick outside?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, still say it.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah, it's brick.
Yeah, yo it's freaking brickout there.
It's crazy brick Like yo.
It's super brick out there.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
But, Louie, maybe you can lookthis one up You're the bee's
knees.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Oh yeah, we're the bee's knees.
I actually have that one.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's on this list.
Actually, I forgot, I didn'tknow what that means.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I never knew what that meant, though, and I guess
I was too lazy to look it up, soI guess I didn't really give it
, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Right, yeah, Lou, you're going to have to find
that there.
Yeah, I'll find it.
I'm going to do this.
The sarcastic one About asuseful as a screen door on a
submarine yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Don't let the door hit you where the Lord split you
.
There you go.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
That's a good one I'll give you.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I'll give you, go yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
There you go.
Not the sharpest tool in theshed.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Uh-huh, yeah, ooh, here's a good one Straight from
the horse's mouth.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh, okay, what is that?
Where's that from?
Yeah, because I don'tunderstand that Meaning directly
from the original or mostreliable source.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
No, okay, I thought it was coming from.
That's pretty good stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, I thought that the first person that it was
referenced to looked like ahorse.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I get it, that makes sense.
Oh, here it goes.
The bee's knees, what?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
does it mean?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Meaning really cool or great.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, the bee's knees .
Yeah, some of these I neverheard.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Now I guess I know why I didn't have to look that
up.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, it was more common sense than we thought.
I thought there was a littlebit more deeper meaning to it.
Somebody's I never heardNervous as a long-tailed cat in
a room full of rocking chairs.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I've heard that one.
I've never heard that onebefore.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But think about it though.
How much does that make sense?
Yeah, Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Because then too there was cartoons.
They used to make sense yeah,hell, yeah, yeah.
Because then too there wascartoons.
They used to show that, yeah,the cat's sitting right next to
the old lady's chair and she'srocking, and the husband next
and he's like, he's just likeswinging his tail, yeah, falls
asleep and gets caught.
Yeah, yeah, that's freakinggreat.
Here you go, come hell or highwater, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Now great, here you go come hell or high water, yeah
, now all right.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So what is that?
No matter what happens, I'mdoing it there it is.
Yeah, exactly, I'm making sureit's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
That's right.
Oh, that's here's one.
Dumber than a box of rocks.
I love that one.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You don't know, what that means, oh yeah, no, I say,
and well, elevator doesn't goall the way to the top.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, oh yeah, uh-huh , yeah, it stopped for like a
little fries short of a happymeal yeah, I love those.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Those are the freaking greatest man.
I love them.
Hell, ugly as ugly as homemade.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Sin meaning really, really unattractive, brutally
honest old school insult yeah, Iknow, oh, I wouldn't trust him
as far as I could throw yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:22):

Speaker 2 (23:48):
The food-related ones are serious.
There's another one that was onthere.
I was like oh, no love, no love, yeah man.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Remember that thing.
You used to hear your parentssaid Uh-oh, you get a chill.
Your parents said someonewalked over your grave.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, yeah, remember that you ever hear that one, tom
.
What when you get the chills,like you're just sitting here
and somebody?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
walked over your grave.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Oh yeah, I heard that one before.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
That's a weird one.
That's a weird one.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
That never made any sense to me.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
And the scary thing is that was the parents who
actually yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Or the other one is like if your ears ring and
you're like someone's talkingabout me, right, my ears are
ringing, that's exactly right.
But now that is superstition.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Huh, that would be a superstition, possibly it was
carried down from you know,their parents, to them Right, to
us Right, and it just it'seventually, at some point it
starts to fade away, I guess,because I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
When they used to say that you know you get the
chills, and I mean somebody'swalking over your grave, I would
be upset.
I'm like well, who the fuckburied?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
me where Right.
So basically you have died,already.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Right, yeah, that's the one.
That's the weirdest one.
You died already.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And right now it's just what happened already.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah that's so weird.
Weird, that's so weird.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, I know right like like oh, someone just
walked on my grave, wait, wait,are we dead, are we like?
No playing, so you're feelingwhat you are like.
What's going on here now?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
see you guys went dark you know I was like you
know, no, I'm what.
I went the other way.
I was like you know, like well,I can't even think of what I
was gonna say now, because youguys just had me, am I dead?
Am I in the matrix?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
like right, exactly, right, exactly.
That's why it doesn't makesense.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's why it's a stupid saying.
Really, when you think about it, it's probably a superstitious
one.
Yeah, yeah, you know, probablymore geared in that area because
of that.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
That is too freaking funny.
That is too freaking funny.
Yeah, no, yeah.
I'm good, I'm good.
Yeah, I'm good, I'm good, yeah,oh, where there's smoke,
there's fire, that's right.

Speaker 2 (26:24):

starts telling a six eight guyhey, I'm going to kick your ass.

When you held that in, itstopped.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Did it, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Assume you'll cut this out.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, yeah, maybe we might Well, if not really.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That's going to be hard.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
It's all right.
All right, we'll just keepgoing.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Is this on no.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Now, that was a perfect example.
The three of you trying tofigure it out.
It's the perfect one for that.
Too many cooks spoil the gravy.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.
Remember that one.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Here you go.
Too many chefs in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, that is funny.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Which I said every Christmas.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Eve, there you go and not Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
No Thanksgiving, they all left them.
My wife well, actually Nancywould handle Thanksgiving for
Well, no Thanksgiving, they allleft them.
My wife well, actually Nancywould handle Thanksgiving for
the most part, but dad wouldalways try to challenge her on
the turkeys.
So we always had like 57 poundsof turkey because we had to
have two turkeys, you know, andit was always a turkey off.
But that's all good stuff.
(33:49):
Yeah, yeah, off.
But that's all good stuff, yeah,yeah of course Alright, so can
anybody tell me and Lou, youmight know this one don't take
any wooden nickels, that's gottabe real.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Frank, let me ask you a question.
Where are you sitting right now?
Are you in the same spot youwere before?
Okay, because we felt like wewere getting some, you know,
like you were fading out therefor a minute.
Yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
You good, how's this?
Can you hear me now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I hear you Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah, we didn't want to lose you.
It sounds kind of funky.
Something just sounded kind offunky.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yeah, don't screw this up.
I want to be invited back again.
It back again.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yeah, yeah, we made fun of somebody and it's coming
back to mess with us and it'llprobably come off on.
It'll come out on a watch.
One call when we hear it.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, probably when I felt it right there.
Not a big deal, anyways, justignore it.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, it is what it is, but was that when you said,
Frank, Sorry?
Speaker 4 (34:43):
not that one.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I haven't heard that one in a long time, by the way,
Don't take any wooden nickels.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
There you go, wooden nickels, yeah, wooden nickels,
because when people they wouldgive away those fake nickels and
then they would bite on theRight and they would see if it
was real.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Yeah, so it's just a matter of people getting over on
people.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
It's such a shame that even today that still
happens, it will happen and itwill always happen.
Yeah, and like they used tofake ones, cause they will.
They will bite into them andthen try to bend it, because if
we made a mark, then you knewthat it was a fake nickel or a
fake change, fake money orwhatever.
So, yeah, that's insane.
That is insane, man.
How much in how much in reality.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Hello, hello, hello.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Okay, how much in reality these sayings came in.
You know what I mean, how muchstuff that we did, that we said,
and it all came to fruition.
I guess we'll say Not fruition,I don't want to say it like
that, but all the things that wemade up, all the sayings that
we had, they were all part ofsomething that happened in real
life or was going on in reallife.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
That happened in real life or was going on in real
life.
But you know the thing thatkills me?
I guess I never really thought,like if I would have thrown out
there oh, beggars can't bechoosers, I, you know, never
really connected how thatactually would apply to me.
You know what I mean.
But it all makes sense now, andLouie and I were talking about
(36:10):
this earlier, I think it's aboutus getting a little bit older,
where things you know start toreveal themselves as to what
they actually meant.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, man.
Cause the more you think aboutall the things that we said,
like you said, the sayings wereto something.
Like they say, jokes are basedon truth, you know, on a reality
.
So that then now, when we makethese funnies, and you know,
like I said, it was almost likea short version of everything
(36:40):
that we did or that we weredoing that particular moment,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Yeah, it's wild I still remember, though, if I
would have tried something and Ireally screwed it up, and I'd
go to my dad, or even my uncle,for that matter, and I'm like to
my my dad, or even my uncle,for that matter, and I like,
yeah, you know, I tried thisthing and it happened, and they
go yeah, you're a day late and adollar short yeah, exactly,
yeah, I remember that.
I was like thank you, I feelthe love in that and that is
(37:08):
hilarious.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I love it.
Yeah, exactly right, right,right it is true.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
It is true, man, because, like I said, all the
things that we would think about.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I mean that is hilarious, I love it.
Yeah, exactly Right, right,right, it is true.
It is true, man, because, likeI said, all the things that we
would think about, I mean it'sjust insane.
I think it's just funny.
Like, as far as jokes areconcerned, certain stories that
you know have that moral ending,if you will.
It's all stuff that we livedthrough in some way, shape or
(37:33):
form.
Yeah, I don't think the stuffthat we watched would be allowed
on TV.
Oh, definitely not.
Like, when we were talkingabout this, we said Spaceballs 2
was coming out.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know it's like things like that
.
That'd be funny.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
You know, if that actually happens, which I hope
it does, I don't even know ifthe younger generation would
actually be able to appreciateit the way we would.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I think he knows that already.
I think he knows that becauseit's the people who loves him
he's doing it.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
But you know, the thing that scares me, though, is
you're right, he does know that, but it makes me afraid that
he's going to alter it to apoint to be able to.
You know, oh, I have to thinkabout I don't know.
You think so to be able to, youknow, oh, I have to think about
this category of folks, I mean,I hope not, but you know.
I'm going to be there one wayor the other.
(38:21):
We're going to find out,hopefully.
Well, you know what May theSchwartz be with?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
you.
May the Schwartz be with you.
Yes.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
The kids love it.
Yeah, the flamethrower, theflamethrower.
Yes, Space balls theflamethrower.
But you know what though?
Speaker 2 (38:36):
It's different jokes.
I think that's what we're goingto have to realize too.
You know what I mean.
It's different funnies that wehave, or we had, than the kids
have.
Does that make sense?
So then all the jokes.
So all that make sense.
So then all the jokes.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
So all the jokes for us we're gonna make.
That's kind of lame, but thekids will get it well, but
that's what I'm saying though.
So you know my fear is okay,we're the we're the true fans,
right, and he's gonna have tomodify it such that a younger
generation would be able to getit.
But being the older generationwould be like what the fuck does
that mean?
I hope he's able to find just anice, even mix in between.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I think he could.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Here's the point he's one of the greatest.
If anybody could do it, he can.
I'm going to be 57.
My daughters are half my age.
We both can sit down and watchYoung Frankenstein and laugh.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Oh yeah, yeah you got it.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Put it on the wrist.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Put it on the wrist.
You ever seen that movie?
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I love that movie, bro.
That's my favorite part.
It's so good.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
That.
Love that movie, bro.
That's my favorite part.
That's so good, louis and I wetorture each other throughout
the years.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
We send clips.
I can't believe it.
Frankenstein yes, Frankenstein.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Not Frankenstein.
Why isn't it FrederickFrankenstein?
Yes, it is.
It's a perfect folk name.
I agree, you must be Iger.
Yes, Yo that's the greatest,though you go out.
They were wrong.
Then one day.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yo, I love it, man, you know, and that's what.
Like you said things like thatclassic man what is all classic.
But you know, that's wheresayings came from.
That's when you know we wouldjust come up with things because
movies influenced us to saythings and comparisons to have
the funny things that we weredoing.
You know earlier, Right, right,exactly.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
It's just a Well.
You have some crazy comediesLike think about Airplane and
all those kind of parodies thatstarted coming out and then they
just started getting worse.
You know what I mean?
It's just getting in that hand,I think.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
But remember when Airplane first came out yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
It was hysterical.
Yo, yo Don't call me Shirley.
Yeah, don't call me ShirleyHospital.
It is great.
What's that?
Yeah, that's a tall building.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Yeah, and you know what?
You couldn't do that, even thatmovie, if you took the original
movie and put it in a theaterand let everybody in for free.
I guarantee you, by the end ofthe movie there'd be like a
billion lawsuits.
Yeah, oh, I was offended.
Yeah, you know, and it's likelighting the fuck up.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yeah, Well, for our day it was different, right,
Right right, yeah, we, you knowit was.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Those were real funnies because we were making
those same kind of jokes I was.
I saw a real thing on socialmedia and there was a guy
playing rap music older rapmusic, yeah yeah and some young
kids were listening to it andthey were losing their freaking
mind Like he said that, howcould he say that?
And it was Eminem.
(41:52):
So Eminem isn't even like thatold school you know kind of
thing, but that people werebugging out over Eminem's raps,
what he was saying, who he wastalking about.
Like oh my God, I can't believehe said that.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Yeah, but they didn't listen to the words.
They were listening to thewords, yeah, but they took it
for something else, when hemeant something else.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Right, they weren't associating it, that he was
talking about his family or youknow, he was just a lyricist.
You know what I'm saying?
Just a rapper.
Right, they're just like oh myGod, how could he say that?
But meanwhile, when you listento some of these rappers and
some of the shit that they'resaying, it's like dude, like
really You're not even sayinganything.
You're not even saying anything, you know it's.
(42:34):
There's no message, there's notalking about your feelings
there's, no, there's nothingbehind it.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
But you know right, yeah, you're right and and
because the rap back then wasabout what they were living.
Right.
You know what, what washappening on the street, how
they were raising, you knowgrowing, what they had to do to
survive.
That's what rap started outwith.
And so you know when you listento LL or you listen to Ice Cube
(42:59):
, or you listen to even earlyEminem or Dr Dre, even Snoop,
for that matter.
They're all talking about whatthey were living.
And hey, they come out there,they just pick this arbitrary uh
subject and they create a rapabout it, but they don't really
(43:20):
know anything about it.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
They didn't live it Right and that's the difference
between the two, yup, and that'swhy we're so great, just saying
just saying you know you'regoing to make me want to put on
my run DMC after this.
There you go, yes, Go out thereand just blast it out in the
backyard man and enjoy it.
