(01:05):
on your on your podcast firm Elvis Presents Morning Show.
Whoa no more vacation for us for at least another
four weeks? Four weeks? Nate, did I see on that
(01:31):
Friday morning before we left a vacation? You just snuck
out of here at a quarter and nine? That was work, man,
I'm being totally honest with you. Nate's vacation kicked off
with a going down to see a quote preview of
our upcoming work vacation to Unico in Riva Ramaya. On
our Elvis to Rand Dysfunctional Family vacation, Nate made the
(01:52):
Irish exit though out of work. We're like, where did
Nate go? And he just left, not even the hey guys,
see you later. And I'm a master of the Irish exit.
Oh yeah, doctor, um doctor, Oh my god, I'm losing box.
Elvis actually said, like I have a couple of things
I need to talk to him about. Where did he go? Like, oh,
He's left. That was so quick I couldn't believe. And
(02:15):
you didn't tell and you didn't share that with anyone.
You just just left. See you scary. You're the one
person I know that would never do an Irish exit.
Ever know. Scary is the person that goes around to
a party and finds every single person and says goodbye
and make sure they know he's leaving me. He wants
to make sure everybody shows that they're sad he's leaving. No, no, no,
(02:37):
but Nate called it um. Whenever I leave a place,
I have to go over and kiss on everybody good bye.
I don't know why. No, no, no. We went to
y one hundred Christmas party and I'm like, hey, now,
let's just get out of here. I wasn't feeling well.
Scary He's like, okay, yeah, let me just say goodbye
to a few people. Two hours later, you have to
(02:58):
say goodbye to everybody, like, hey, I haven't you yet?
My name is Scary. Yeah, scary. I'm like you. I
used it like I used to be like you. We
call it the Norwegian goodbye because the Norwegian goodbye takes
forty five minutes because you keep thinking of things to
talk about, or you have to go to every single person.
But then when I moved to the East Coast, I
realized that I was really just no one cared if
(03:18):
I was leaving. No one cares. I mean, like I'm little.
I'm just gonna go, right, But then you always run
the risk of that one person at the party or
wherever you left, saying hey, where did Bethany go? She's left?
How rude. She didn't think about that. She pulled the nate.
I have a question. I thought the Norwegian goodbye was
when you light the boat on fire and push it
out into the water. That's the final Norwegian, the last one.
(03:39):
I I I don't know if it's Italian Norwegian. I'm Jewish,
which is religion, and those two others weren't. But we
do the same thing me when I say well, me, me,
my family. But my wife will say to me, listen, David,
we're leaving in an hour. Start saying goodbye. Now. Yeah.
She makes me start saying goodbye, like so, whoever the
first person is, we'll go goodbye. And then they still
see me there for another forty a minute saying goodbye.
(04:01):
They go I thought you were leaving. No, No, I
started the leaving process. But I'm not leaving until everybody's
I grab another sandwich before I'm done. To me, that
means goodbye. No, I'm starting the leaving process. Melissa will
say to me, start the leaving process. That's smart. She's smart,
she knows because I can't just leave your wife sounds
(04:22):
like my mom, because my mom would do that, and
she'd be the one sitting in the car with the
motor running waiting for my dad to come out of
the Christmas part. She'll leave, My wife will leave. The
kids are outside going debt, all right, they text them. Yeah.
I felt very weird at um Elvis's. You know, he
got his star a couple of weeks ago, and then
there was this big party and um, I met this
(04:43):
really lovely gentleman and he and I had been kind
of in the back. We were both the introverts of
the room. So we were back talking about like books
and being just nording out and I said, you know what,
I'm I'm not feeling great. I'm gonna I'm gonna take off.
It was lovely to meet you. We said our goodbyes,
we exchanged her information, and then I realized that everybody
else from the morning show still at the party, and
I was like, wait, now, I can't I can't leave
(05:03):
if everyone's still here. I can't be the first to leave.
So then I had to stay. But I had already
said goodbye to him. Then it felt very weird and
I was concerned that he was going to think that
I was trying to get out of the conversation Gary,
trying to attempt the Irish exit now but doing it
very awkwardly. No, no joke, guys, I have to go, bye, buddy.
(05:26):
You gotta thanks thanks for Stefan, love your buddy. Goody
one word yet Gary, my brother, goodbye, thank you. I
had a lot of fun on my vacations. I gotta
gotta go. Hey, I'll talk about that to more. Take
some brisket. We got to talk to like the cake. Hey, yeah,
(05:51):
sit down, sit down mother for her health and I
definite I gotta email you about that. The thing. Don't
worry about it. It's it's it's being postponed. But it's funny. Yes, sir,
I can't. Can't. We're going to Irish Exit you ourselves.
You know we're not going to another place afterward, you
should say, and with us suck at the irishection because
(06:11):
I want to be the last person there, because I
have fomo. That's why I have Yeah, wait til you
see what happens once you leave this This podcast be
so much fun. No, no, goodbye. He's the worst. Okay. Also,
we didn't invent the term Irish goodbye, Irish exit. Look
(06:32):
it up. It's a if you're Irish and you're like,
I don't do that. Okay, we're not saying everybody well
in the term. Oh, I thought Garrett was going Irish here. Uh.
And I think the term comes from, well, the stereotype
that Irish people drink too much and then they leave
during a party. Because they didn't create create that stereotype.
But that's what the expression is. There's an Irish pub
(06:52):
in Midtown called the Irish Exit. It's fantastic. What a
great name. That is a really good name. So I
think we should come up with some right away. Yeah,
you're on it. Um. I think we should come up
with some rules for Irish exiting. I think if you're
holding you're holding the party, you cannot Irish exit. No,
if you're holding the party, or if you're related to
that party member either significant other or immediate family, you
(07:17):
cannot leave. You cannot Irish exit. I not get that right, Okay,
all right, So if you work with that person, you
have to give the person. The only person you have
to say goodbye to is the person throwing the party.
What do you think? Also, if you yes, and if
you offered before the party to help clean up, you
can't just leave. Yeah, I agree with oh yeah, I'll
(07:40):
help you clean up absolutely, and then you're out. I
think I was. I'll be honest, I wasn't really listening
to the past. Like two minutes of this heart brain
took an Irish Well No, I was actually googling to
see if this was like a racist term? Is it? Well?
Did we stop saying it? Well? First of all, Irish
isn't it's not safe. Well, okay, so if I'm on
(08:01):
Huffington Post dot com and it says these words you
use every day have racist slash prejudice pasts and you
had no idea, and one of them is Irish goodbye
or Irish exit. They say it's another way of saying
a hasty exit without stopping to formally say goodbye to anyone.
It can also be known as a French exit or
probably quote insert any country that your country has a
(08:21):
problem with exit um any rate, you might want to
think before you use a phrase that stereotypes and entire
nationality is being rude. So it's not like as bad
as some other really horrible things you can say if
your people. If the worst thing, what do you mean?
Your people? Whatever your people are, thank you. If the
worst thing society can say about your people is that
you occasionally have a party early, that's pretty good without
(08:45):
saying goodbye. If that's if that's the meanest tweet that
you get, that your people leave a party early, let
me tell you that as as a minority religion that
I am. If that was the worst I got, your
people take a long time to say goodbye or they
(09:06):
leave early, I'm good with it. Nobody's holding her march,
nobody's wearing pussy hats to stop the Irish exit thing.
Peanut gallery is that bad? Yeah, that's from. That's from.
That's from how do you do to show put a
very you know? It's um? According to this article on
Huffington Post dot com, it says um peanut galleries were
(09:29):
the upper balconies that African American people sat in in
segregated theaters. They were also known by several even more
derogatory names, so it's referencing. Yeah, I had no idea.
I thought the peanut gallery was the group of people
that heckled Howdy duty, like the kids sat in the
peanut gallery, which is I don't know, I mean, and
and again this is just according to this one article,
(09:50):
so they may have it completely an I've never heard
this one actually before, I guess Chinese whispers. I've never
heard this require um. It usually means inaccurate gossip um,
used more in the UK than the US UM. It
originated as Russian scandal or Russian gossip, but was later
(10:10):
changed for unclear reasons. It's supposed that the origin of
this phrase has something to do with the Chinese language
being difficult to understand or translate, so it's probably better
to use like it's a game of telephone, rather than
to assign bad language to a group of people. But again,
I've never heard. And then of course saying that something
is ghetto or something looks ghetto, of course that's I
(10:33):
don't know, Yeah I did you there was actually really
not to bring this too down. There's actually a really
funny SNL sketch not terribly long ago using the word ghetto.
Have you watched this? It's it's a group of girls
being like, oh my god, your phone is so ghetto.
Oh this restaurant is so ghetto. And then one girl
is like, yeah, my house is so ghetto. It only
has three walls and there's the fire escape is what
(10:54):
I sleep on. And they're like, that's a literal ghetto.
And it sort of points out kind of how ridiculous
that phrases. But it's very funny. Yeah, it's it's very
very funny. You see that all the time. I didn't
even think about it. It's funny, you know, the things
that I'm part Polish, and there was always those Pollock jokes, right,
And I just don't even know where that stereotype came from.
I know, great Tea is He's probably where it came from. Okay,
(11:18):
all right, yeah, but yeah, I just don't even know
where that came from. I don't know how Polish people
were stupid in the first place. Yeah, famous Polish people,
I really don't get. I think I think it derives
from when many Europeans came to the country here during
the World War two time, and I think that I
think a lot of people that were living here that
were America based, they were kind of like you all
(11:39):
these all these immigrants are coming here, um, and they're like, oh,
you're so stupid. I think that's where it happened. When
the Polish people came, you know, they were like, Oh,
you're so dumb, You're like a Polock. You know. I
think that's where it. I mean, that's that's where I
think it came from. You know, that's not true, obviously,
but that's where I think it came No, I agree
with that. I think when somebody comes here and they
don't speak the language, you're quick to So how many
(12:00):
Polish people does it take to explain the history of
Polish jokes? If you look back, do you guys ever
look back at things that your grandparents said or your
babysitters said, and you're like, oh, my god, they're racist.
Like my grandfather used to tell Pollock jokes all the time,
and I had no idea. My babysitter taught us the
(12:22):
most racially insensitive song I will never sing again. But
it was like a fun a fun song about stereotypes
that she taught us when I was like four. I know.
I guess it just goes to show how far we've
come in recognizing all of this stuff, or maybe how
recognizing I'm not even sure you can say Pollock anymore. No,
you don't know but I don't think you can, right, Oh,
(12:42):
I guess they're technically poles, right, anybody from Poland as
a pole? I think? I yeah, I mean I out
with why yeah poles? It says Poles are Polish citizens.
That sounds like the pretty much watch All in the
Fan Emily on TV Land And if Archie Bunker said it,
(13:03):
you can't say it. And he called his son in
law Polllock all the time because that the Rob Reiner's
character was Polish on the show. It's interesting. One that
a lot of people don't know is um saying somebody
jipped you. It's bad. That's not good. People still say
that and and and I used to say that growing
(13:24):
up all the time. And I didn't know it's about gypsy's.
I thought it was spelled j I P. It's g
y P. You can't say that, yeah, now you know, huh. Okay.
So there's a really offensive term for used to be
it's it's like the N word for Jews, but not
with nobody used anymore the words kike. That's a really
used to be offensive. But here's what it actually means.
(13:47):
When Jews came through Ellis Island, they didn't They wrote
in Hebrew. They didn't write English, and so you had
to sign your paperwork when you came in. And so
what they would say in Yiddish to them was make
an X on the paper. Just make an X, which
is making and kaiken is how you'd say it, make
an X. And so they referred to them as the
X people because, uh, they were the people that would
would put an X on the paperwork. So kaike just
(14:09):
means X people, and then it just takes on a
whole new right. It's not it's not really an offensive thing,
but it turned into it because the people would say
it in an offensive way. Yeah, it's like if I
called your people grapes, but like, oh you grapes, You're like,
don't call me a grape. I'll kill you. And then
your people stop putting grape in their songs, you know,
and like grape with grape with no e is okay,
but great with an ease offensive. You know, the G
(14:31):
word speaking of X is do you know why they
put an X where you're supposed to sign not a document?
Because in medieval times, when people didn't know how to
write or what their name was, they would put an
X and you would have to kiss the X. And
that's why xs and os os or hugs x is
or kisses is because people would kiss the X to
indicate that they were agreeing to some sort of document
(14:52):
or agreement, no idea. And I didn't know that, not that,
but the X is and those things kisses and hogs.
I always knew that. But I always thought the ALL
was a hog because it was arms wrapped around you,
and the X was a kiss the other way around.
That always a kiss because it looked like lips, and
the X was two arms crossing, and that was a
I've never seen this on Game of Thrones, so I
don't know about that, do you guys? Remember when Snoop
Dogg said that he watched Game of Thrones for the
(15:14):
history you can learn a little something. I love it.
That makes me really really happy. It is sort of
amazing that we like terms like that. I want, I
can't even I don't know, it's not even my word
to say, but like, terms like that's are so obviously offensive.
But then we're like, people are being so sensitive about
(15:35):
words now. In twenty years, we're gonna look at words
now that we don't think are terrible and be like
I cannot believe it. Yeah, I cannot believe we said
stuff like that. Well, I say we finished this podcast
by doing an Irish exit. All right, I'm leaving, taking
my headphone. I'm going to in Nate exit Jean Minute

(01:31):
Friday morning before we left a vacation? You just snuck
out of here at a quarter and nine? That was work, man,
I'm being totally honest with you. Nate's vacation kicked off
with a going down to see a quote preview of
our upcoming work vacation to Unico in Riva Ramaya. On

(01:52):
Irish exit though out of work. We're like, where did

I have to go over and kiss on everybody good bye.
I don't know why. No, no, no. We went to
y one hundred Christmas party and I'm like, hey, now,
let's just get out of here. I wasn't feeling well.
Scary He's like, okay, yeah, let me just say goodbye
to a few people. Two hours later, you have to
(02:58):
say goodbye to everybody, like, hey, I haven't you yet?
My name is Scary. Yeah, scary. I'm like you. I
used it like I used to be like you. We
call it the Norwegian goodbye because the Norwegian goodbye takes
forty five minutes because you keep thinking of things to

But then when I moved to the East Coast, I

say to me, start the leaving process. That's smart. She's smart,
she knows because I can't just leave your wife sounds

she'd be the one sitting in the car with the
motor running waiting for my dad to come out of

so they may have it completely an I've never heard
this one actually before, I guess Chinese whispers. I've never
heard this require um. It usually means inaccurate gossip um,
used more in the UK than the US UM. It
originated as Russian scandal or Russian gossip, but was later
(10:10):
changed for unclear reasons. It's supposed that the origin of
this phrase has something to do with the Chinese language
being difficult to understand or translate, so it's probably better
to use like it's a game of telephone, rather than
to assign bad language to a group of people. But again,
I've never heard. And then of course saying that something
is ghetto or something looks ghetto, of course that's I
(10:33):
don't know, Yeah I did you there was actually really
not to bring this too down. There's actually a really
funny SNL sketch not terribly long ago using the word ghetto.
Have you watched this? It's it's a group of girls
being like, oh my god, your phone is so ghetto.
Oh this restaurant is so ghetto. And then one girl
is like, yeah, my house is so ghetto. It only
has three walls and there's the fire escape is what
(10:54):
I sleep on. And they're like, that's a literal ghetto.
And it sort of points out kind of how ridiculous
that phrases. But it's very funny. Yeah, it's it's very
very funny. You see that all the time. I didn't
even think about it. It's funny, you know, the things
that I'm part Polish, and there was always those Pollock jokes, right,
And I just don't even know where that stereotype came from.
I know, great Tea is He's probably where it came from. Okay,
(11:18):
all right, yeah, but yeah, I just don't even know
where that came from. I don't know how Polish people
were stupid in the first place. Yeah, famous Polish people,
I really don't get. I think I think it derives
from when many Europeans came to the country here during
the World War two time, and I think that I
think a lot of people that were living here that
were America based, they were kind of like you all
(11:39):
these all these immigrants are coming here, um, and they're like, oh,
you're so stupid. I think that's where it happened. When
the Polish people came, you know, they were like, Oh,
you're so dumb, You're like a Polock. You know. I
think that's where it. I mean, that's that's where I
think it came from. You know, that's not true, obviously,
but that's where I think it came No, I agree
with that. I think when somebody comes here and they
don't speak the language, you're quick to So how many
(12:00):
Polish people does it take to explain the history of
Polish jokes? If you look back, do you guys ever
look back at things that your grandparents said or your
babysitters said, and you're like, oh, my god, they're racist.
Like my grandfather used to tell Pollock jokes all the time,
and I had no idea. My babysitter taught us the
(12:22):
most racially insensitive song I will never sing again. But
it was like a fun a fun song about stereotypes
that she taught us when I was like four. I know.
I guess it just goes to show how far we've
come in recognizing all of this stuff, or maybe how
recognizing I'm not even sure you can say Pollock anymore. No,
you don't know but I don't think you can, right, Oh,
(12:42):
I guess they're technically poles, right, anybody from Poland as
a pole? I think? I yeah, I mean I out
with why yeah poles? It says Poles are Polish citizens.
That sounds like the pretty much watch All in the
Fan Emily on TV Land And if Archie Bunker said it,
(13:03):
you can't say it. And he called his son in
law Polllock all the time because that the Rob Reiner's
character was Polish on the show. It's interesting. One that
a lot of people don't know is um saying somebody
jipped you. It's bad. That's not good. People still say
that and and and I used to say that growing
(13:24):
up all the time. And I didn't know it's about gypsy's.
I thought it was spelled j I P. It's g
y P. You can't say that, yeah, now you know, huh. Okay.
So there's a really offensive term for used to be
it's it's like the N word for Jews, but not
with nobody used anymore the words kike. That's a really
used to be offensive. But here's what it actually means.
(13:47):
When Jews came through Ellis Island, they didn't They wrote
in Hebrew. They didn't write English, and so you had
to sign your paperwork when you came in. And so
what they would say in Yiddish to them was make
an X on the paper. Just make an X, which
is making and kaiken is how you'd say it, make
an X. And so they referred to them as the
X people because, uh, they were the people that would
would put an X on the paperwork. So kaike just
(14:09):
means X people, and then it just takes on a
whole new right. It's not it's not really an offensive thing,
but it turned into it because the people would say
it in an offensive way. Yeah, it's like if I
called your people grapes, but like, oh you grapes, You're like,
don't call me a grape. I'll kill you. And then
your people stop putting grape in their songs, you know,
and like grape with grape with no e is okay,
but great with an ease offensive. You know, the G
(14:31):
word speaking of X is do you know why they
put an X where you're supposed to sign not a document?
Because in medieval times, when people didn't know how to
write or what their name was, they would put an
X and you would have to kiss the X. And
that's why xs and os os or hugs x is
or kisses is because people would kiss the X to
indicate that they were agreeing to some sort of document
(14:52):
or agreement, no idea. And I didn't know that, not that,
but the X is and those things kisses and hogs.
I always knew that. But I always thought the ALL
was a hog because it was arms wrapped around you,
and the X was a kiss the other way around.
That always a kiss because it looked like lips, and
the X was two arms crossing, and that was a
I've never seen this on Game of Thrones, so I
don't know about that, do you guys? Remember when Snoop
Dogg said that he watched Game of Thrones for the
(15:14):
history you can learn a little something. I love it.
That makes me really really happy. It is sort of
amazing that we like terms like that. I want, I
can't even I don't know, it's not even my word
to say, but like, terms like that's are so obviously offensive.
But then we're like, people are being so sensitive about
(15:35):
words now. In twenty years, we're gonna look at words
now that we don't think are terrible and be like
I cannot believe it. Yeah, I cannot believe we said
stuff like that. Well, I say we finished this podcast
by doing an Irish exit. All right, I'm leaving, taking
my headphone. I'm going to in Nate exit Jean Minute
