And so we're live. Welcome to Trampled Underfoot Podcast. Trampled Underfoot Podcast every Tuesday, eight thirty eight, nine thirty pm Eastern time. What is it six thirty pm West Coast time, Pacific time. Yes, that's right. This is episode sixty eight. That's right. And so you know I do want to say that, um, not because I remembered, but Mark Lindsay, you know, we were talking back in the green room and he said, well, hey, you know what it's It's gonna be Thanksgiving, and
you know we don't have any Thanksgiving type. You know, we didn't even think ahead of time, at least I didn't. So we don't want to wish you guys that hear this a happy Thanksgiving. Yes, this will go live the week of Thanksgiving, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Want to wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving out there and hope you know everything is going well for everybody. It's time for a lot of stress. I know some folks get all
stressed out cooking for family the first time. Other folks are like app it's a day that ends with why, But however you treat it. And for those of you aren't in the US, happy Thursday or a Happy Tuesday for us. So yeah, and so you know, we were thinking about Thanksgiving. You know what, what we could possibly what does Thanksgiving mean to you? Mark if if you had to mention, um if I was going to get all deep and philosophical about it, just and it's a cliche to say
it, but that's what the holiday is for. Remember what you've got, who you've got in your life, and just maybe show a little bit of gratitude that things played out the way they did. They could be a heck of a lot worse. So m we have our token Kanukistani. And in the chat over here on YouTube, Jim Dockerell reminding us that Thanksgiving us last month. Yeah, if you're in Canada. But you know you guys will catch up eventually and figure it out. You are about to be trampled underfoot.
I still have not set through the Great Canadian Historical Adventure. I have subtle insights, um. I like history. I'm one for for history and stuff and more just broadly things that are are a big question mark in the past. I'm kind of like big on that I've yet to explore the the whole Canadian frontier. Um historically speaking, and what I mean, I have the basics, you know, I know that some of the say French uh were transplanted down towards Louisiana at some point as well. I mean there's a
lot there. I mean that's just me pulling one thing, you know, out. But um, I know there was a lot of pelt training. I know that it was a wild front It's still a wild frontier. People will say in a lot of places, in a lot of UH, in a lot of areas. Yeah, I mean you get up in the Yukon Territory or heck, even northern British Columbia. Um, it's you know,
not a soul uh to be seen for hundreds of miles. I mean, you know there are places out there that there'd be a lodge out on the lake that you have to fly into it's not accessible by road at all. And those there's there's hundreds of those, at least in the West Stern part of Canada. A lot of it's gorgeous. It's gorgeous country. I got to spend a little bit of time back in Newfoundland and New Brunswick back in the late eighties, and it's gorgeous country. And I was talking to one
of the locals. I was in a store, just talking to one of the locals, and of course I did the typical American tourist thing. I said, you get a lot of snow up here. He said, well, last year wasn't too bad. We only got three meters. And I thought, oh, well, that isn't too bad. And then I thought, wait a minute, Wait a minute, that's meters. A meter is thirty nine something three feet right, Yeah, well it's a little bit more than that. It's thirty nine inches and some change. And I was like,
holy call, that's that's ten feet of snow. No man, no, no, not this boy. You know, it was gorgeous in the summer, but I wouldn't want to be there. So as far as Canadian history is concerned, this probably has absolutely nothing to do with real history. Jim Dockerell could probably tell us. But there's a Canadian TV show. There was a Canadian TV show it might still be going on, I don't know, called History Bites, hosted by a guy named Bill Green, and he's
a funny, funny comedian, very clever man. And it was basically this one episode was called History Bites America versus Canada or no History Bites, Uncle Sam. It was called and it was basically comparing the US and Canada historically speaking, going back to the beginning, and very funny show, very good show. I learned a few things about Indian history, learned a few things
about American history, believe it or not. And this was made in oh, I want to say the mid either the late nineties or the early two thousands. It was called History Bites Uncle Sam. If you find it on YouTube. If you find it online, I would highly recommend that it's very good History Bites Uncle, Uncle Sam. Right, and what can you give us at least an overview? Oh boy, it's been so long since I've seen it. I had, I burned it onto DVD. I don't even
remember where I found it, and I've watched it. But it basically they talk about the open borders, but it's it's comedy. They compare the Cowboy to the Canadian Mountie as the two stereotypical you know, the Mountie is the stereotypical Canadian and the Cowboy is the stereotype faical American. Um. There, it's it's fast paced, a lot of um, a lot of cultural references,
but a lot of historical references to it. It's just, you know, they're the one scene that I can remember, and I don't remember which fort he's standing in front of. Um is we repelled the Americans when they tried to invade us, and we fought them off here twice, but we still lost it. We don't want to remember that. And you know we burned down the White House. Well actually we didn't. The British did it for us, but we wanted to be there, you know, and stuff
like that. It's just there's some funny stuff that goes on back and forth and everything. It's not anti American, it's not anti Canadian. It's just funny stuff and it but it is worth watching. So a couple of things, um So, One Canada. If you if you think you know in in like the way they they they speak and America, Yes we could tell differences, but they're not big at all. Uh. There's certain little minor inflections that are truly American, and there's minor inflections that are truly Canadian.
But the bulk of the communication in common speak that we hear, um, I can pick it up when I hear a person talking on a YouTube video without knowing that they're Canadian or not. Um, after you hear them a little a little bit, um, I say, oh that that person's Canadian. Um. That said, um, the word American. So everything has a gray area. Americans, Canadians are Americans as well. It depends on how you want to use the But but no, they they totally are.
Yeah, it's I mean, continent is North America, so you know so. But the reason I mentioned this is that one time I was speaking to it because I used to work in the Everglades and we get people from all over the place, and I in conversation and this is where certain it depends on where you you. It depends on the reach of the definition that you're
using or are incorporating it. People could get confused with certain things. And I mentioned, you know, yeah, because you know something or other, and I included him as American. And he wasn't very happy about that. Not that he was totally blowing a gasket, but he made a point of pointing out to me where Canadian, we're not Americans. And I did not push the fact right the topic because why bother um in that given scenario.
But the fact is that he is completely American in in this in the case of we're all from him, it's it's the American continent, you know, yea. Um. But but sometimes but so we will use the United States. I mean, what do you say, Um, I am a United States citizen, or how do you you say we're American? Um? However, um, people from South America, Central America, Mexicans can say we're American. But how would one in the United's you see what I'm saying,
like Canadians were can do? How do you identify your nationality without using the word American? Yeah? Right, Well, now in our case, if you really broke it down, and I'm just thinking and like off the top of my head, we would probably have to say I'm a Floridian and I'm an Oregonian, right because in fact, you know what I'm saying, we're yeah, we're from those particular states or whatever. Right, So in reality,
obviously I'm American. But if you had to you know, yeah, or actually, if what if you're a Mexican from Chihuahua, are you a Chihuahian or whatever? You'd want to break that down, you know what I'm saying, Yeah, like that and that poses the question of the week. If we were to do that, if we were to call ourselves based on the state or province we live in. In your case, you're for Floridian and I'm Oregonian. Yeah, what would a person from Saskatchewan call themselves?
That's the question of the week. I mean, would they just call themselves a taxi and moved to Ottawa? You know it's what they have to call a taxi from otto wah to come and pick them up because they're the ones with the you know what, that's not any easier. Would you call them an Ottawanian or I don't know, that's a legit question. I'm not trying
to be funny. Well it has funny, it has funny implications. But you see, so the whole Canadian thing, you know, so, yes, of course they're Canadian, but they could just as easily swap it out. But there would be CONFUSI confusion by saying we're American, and then an American would hear that and say, wait, a second party, you're Canadian. But Americans, what do they say to break down? Because American, I'm American. Everybody understands it like it's a common accepted thing. If you're
American, you're from the United States. But that's not true in it of itself, right, People from South America, I've heard them say in conversations with them, do the same thing to me. They say, waa, we're American too, And I'm like, oh, no, yeah, I'm just trying to because what do you say, yeah, United States seans. Well, what I used to do to disarm things because you never know which
way it was gonna go. When I lived over in Germany, when my wife and I were stationed there, I would just right up front call myself a yank because that did two things. Number one, let them know they knew right off the bat that man I was from the US, okay, But it also disarmed him because some people over there considered yank to be an insult when they were using it. Oh you're just a yank. It's supposed to be a pejorative term. But if I threw it out there, that
disarmed him. They didn't have that pejorative. That let them know I was from the US and that I would take absolutely zero offense at being called a yank. And I had one guy in a little pub over there saying, oh, you're a yank. Huh, yep, I'm a yank. And it just totally disarmed him. He ended up you know, oh oh, Berr bought me a beer and the whole thing off we went. But because people don't know, they're not expect a particular like you could say something in
your look. I think that depend you could either offend someone or not, depending on the persons, you know, um, how they see the situation. There's an intention. It depends on your intent. And and one could
so one time, and I've said this before. Um, I was young and I went out, I was invited to have lunch with a co worker of mine and um, and so she she was somewhere from Asia, probably China, and um, this was like back in the late eighties and stuff, you know, just and um, and I was young, you know. And and so we're walking back and and I asked her, so you're you're Oriental and oops, she said, And I didn't mean it, and and and in fact, I don't even see. I have high respect for
people regardless of I mean, I look at people as individuals. Yeah, you know, that's the main thing. How are you as a human being? I don't care. I mean that's you know, because that's what counts. Right. Yeah, if you're a dipstick, you're a dipstick. It doesn't matter what your shoe size is. Right. So, well, now here's the thing. So I said that, and she was really teed off about it, and then she said, oh, it's okay after I explain.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I mean I didn't but um, it just goes to show that one not knowing or having information and so, you know, human being. It it's easy to create a u for a situation to occur with a few uneducated words of one's own, you know. So if you don't know, you just don't know. And that's personally. I just don't think it's really a I mean, I just don't know why it ever comes up, and be kind of saying like, oh, you have black hair. Why would it come up? Yeah, I have black hair.
Who cares? You know? Oh? Well the yeah, you know, well no, because we were getting to I was getting yeah, yeah, I do at it. I wasn't saying like, you know, oh so I was saying, oh so I was trying to open up to see for her to hear a little bit of I guess history or stuff and that was just a choice word that but it wasn't even because she said to me, she explained to me oriental or are objects are actual physical objects and whatnot she told me, And I said, oh, okay, I did not
know, and I learned my lesson about it. However, I've since heard that that's not necessarily the case, and people, you know what, I think, it depends on how you're taught and what you're taught, because like for instance, I know it depends on where you go here in the US. But a lot of people will use the word Scotch to describe somebody from Scotland, which originally was the case, but that they themselves to a point. Yes you have the Scotch Irish, which is completely different but the same
but not quite. But that's the quickest way to upset somebody from Scotland is to call them Scotch. The Scotch is a drink, Scott is the person, you know. But that's it is. It's fairly new. But I mean again, Scotch was used as a pejorative for so long they just kind of said, we don't like it. You know, some folks don't know that, Um, it's a it's an urban rumor. I don't know if it's true or false. I really don't know, right, but that's where
Scotch tape got its name. Now, this maybe this is what one of those things that I've heard, is that why they have the little plaid, why they have the yeah there because it was cheap. It was cheap, it was replaceable. You could basically just use it temporarily and throw it away. And folks just started calling it scotch tape, and so there was a
on the patient. Yeah, Scotch was a pejorative meant somebody who was absolutely cheap, because Scots do have the reputation for being cheap, you know, and there are plenty of Scottish jokes and being part Scott I can tell these jokes. You know. Copper wire was invented by two scotsmen who were fighting over a penny. You know. The Grand Canyon came about when a Scotsman dropped a dime down a gopher hole. You know, just stuff like that.
There's a lot of that in different um from different ethnicities. Let's say you hear that about it. I mean, we won't mention them now, but you can come up with a bunch of them. I'll just on the heels of that. I'll just say And I had mentioned this to you earlier, which I thought was funny, and you you got to kick out of it. But um, you know, since I did those videos with the
DNA, and I did one of it. So today I got a video comment from a person and you know, it's all about the DNA and stuff, and everybody comments and it seems to be a place to comment because people have strong opinions and whatnot. Well this person lays out he says, very so your hebrew from my results, And I'm like, what, where where does that come from? I mean, it still blows me away. There's no explanation, there's no I mean, it could be true. Like I
was telling Mark earlier. I said, Mark, it's not like anything goes right. The further back you go, things could happen. But it's like, how did he so at least at least prepare some sort of explanation as to why you're saying this with with a lot of emphasis and like certitude.
You know. So I'm he broky and I find it funny. And I still can't figure out what would compel a person to type that because you've got to sit You've got to sit there and type it out, you know, and it's like and there's no reviewing it, right, I mean unless he reviews. You have to think is you know when I type something out, I just make sure quickly that what I'm typing, and I still make mistakes. Well, this person type of very short sentence and he reviewed it,
stamped it, and sent it on its way. So you know, no, he said, so you know your Hebrew. He didn't say your Hebrew right now? He said, so you know your Hebrew like like emphatically. I was like, oh, how do I answer this? I can't say, right, brother, I can't. I told you the way to answer it is to just oh, exclamation point and just you know, have fun with it. What the heck, I'm gonna tell you another one that's fun about human beings. You're gonna dig this one. I don't think I've ever
told you this one. So this is a brand new one, but it's classics. So years and years and years ago, I had another channel which I still have for music playing and recording and all this stuff, and on one at the time, I was totally involved in listening to exploring the music of the band, which happens to be Canadian, by the way, so it kind of ties in real nice at least you did, or at least some of them are some I think there mostly are Canadian the band, and
so I was totally into the band. And so I've decided to record one of their songs. I forget which one now, I'd have to think about it, but whatever I decided to. You know how, they used to dress up the band sort of like Western, sort of like old eighteen hundreds and stuff, and their themes and their songs were about back then and the war, Civil war and all sorts of stuff. Really cool band which is
called the band. Well, I said, I'm gonna record this song to a video, but I'm also going to put a hat on like they put a hat, and I had a beard and I was younger, and I put a suit on to look kind of like the band while I played the
piano. And so I did the video, and so I got comments and stuff, really nice this is and that, you know, blah blah blah, and one guy you know, and by the way, the way I dressed, I actually could have looked Hasidic jew as opposed to to what I was going for, because it literally I literally looked like a Hasidic Jew. I had the beard like this, I had the hat. It was a
white shirt and a suit and playing the piano. And one guy and so there was comments and one guy says, try Jesus bro with a with a with a you know, and like it's like, where does that come from? Because he looked at me and whatever his world, you know, whatever his Yeah, I know, I just can't. My brain doesn't go in that direction. It's like, huh, well, he looked at me. He said, this guy's a jew. Try Jesus Bro is what he? Oh? I don't know, man, I just my brain doesn't connect that
way. I just it kind of boggles my mind that out of all of the words that you could put together in a sentence to comment on somebody's music, especially, you chose to put those words together and hit the hit the hit the comment button. Yeah. I don't know. We've got answers to the question, but they're different. So I don't want to be starting the Canadian Civil War here. But Greg snow Crusher says that someone from Saskatoon is
a Saska Busheyan and Jim Dockerell says Saskatchewanians or saskatchew Wanners. Oh so would that mean somebody who wants to move there is a saskatchewanna be thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the veal. I know it wasn't well, I just but still I can't figure out. I mean, I do boring videos, and I know they're long and they're boring. There for people who have never used this particular software before. I'm trying to show them the basic ways. And you can't do this and be brief. You just can't.
You have to show every step. So I think, you know, one of my shorter tutorial videos is like thirty five minutes long, but my longest one is like fifty seven minutes long. They're long, they're boring, I know it. So I don't get a whole heck of a lot of trolls. So I haven't really had any comments like that, you know, I've had one or two. So I just I'm kind of taken aback when I see some of the stuff that other people deal with on their channels.
I mean, if you think about the amount of people out there watching consuming videos in the whole thing and their individual because I don't know how to appreciate properly if I can, if I can, if my brain can sort of see it for the massiveness that it is of. How many people are out there that have the possibility of putting your particular um sequence of thoughts together.
They have that ability, but that completely are not They're in a completely other world in their head, and so anything is possible because there's so many people. You know what I'm saying, It's just it's insane. I just I just don't get it. That's just not me, man. I just wasn't raised that way. I guess I don't know. But you know what, there is the anonymity of the key board, and I know some people just want to, you know, prove their superiority or prove their knowledge, or
massage their own egos. I get that, I know that. And but people will type out stuff on the computer or through their handheld whatever that they would never dream a saying to somebody's face. You know, I just don't get that, man, the flexing of the keyboard muscles. I just don't get that. It's like, you know, who are you trying to improve? Who are you trying to prove something too. Who you trying to impress? You know? Did I say, who are you trying to improve?
Try yourself? But yeah, it's just what they And the funny part is is what they don't get is that it's very easy for the content creator to go delete and then band that person eat that comment, and then ban that person from commenting on their video. There's also we'll go ahead. Well, what happens when they do that is the person will come along to another video and go, you are a dim wad, you don't know what you're talking about, and hit that comment button and they will see it, but nobody
else will. Yeah, so they'll go back to that video and they'll see their comment there and they'll see it's getting absolutely zero attention because nobody else in the universe will see it. So I think that's karmic revenge. Well, you know, so there's also the idea of that when we our expectation, or at least mine, is that people will be civil. Yeah, and if you have a a qualm with someone, you use you use that form that forum to you know, put your your your doubt over a video or
an issue and your troubles over it. But you do so in a way where you're not doing it attacking a person's you know, I don't know how to say, but you're you're sticking to the subject and trying to sess out, you know, the information about the sess the subject and trying to put forth your But you're not going for some sort of like the jugular sort of kill. You're not going for a personal insult. If somebody is factually wrong
about something. You know, Columbus landed in San Diego, Um no, actually I think you need to go back and check he was nowhere near San Diego. That's one thing. But to come out and just start, you know, to come out swinging, you know, you're an absolute baron and
YadA la, you're you're no better yourself, dude it. But there's also that problem that people are on different you know, this is a big world, and they're on different planes with different rules of engagement, different ways of seeing things, and it's just a huge So my standards that I feel are just don't don't necessarily and I might be right right like my standards, but
I might be wrong too. My standards were handed to like you can't help but be a product for the most part, I believe of the people that came before you, you were taught certain ideas and stuff. So you have a certain sort of guidance that occurs, which is pretty it's a pretty effective guidance what you get from your folks and your grandparents. I mean, it's
self evident. So you're kind of reflecting, and then you have your own personal um teachable moments as you continue where you discard things or you or you keep things, and that forms who you are. UM. The thing is that, UM, if you look at it non personally, maybe I believe that the way I was taught was right. But wait a second, if you hurt yourself away from it, maybe it's not. Maybe some of it is. And so there's people out there with different you know, of conducting
themselves. Sure, a lot of it's cultural, a lot of it is environmental, a lot of it is social. It just depends on your upbringing and what kind of person you are, and a lot of it there are just Yeah, that's what I meant when I say what kind of person you are. Some folks are just more aggressive than others. Some folks are a
lot more passive than others. You know, it just I mean, God, there's personalities on every every little micro dot on the spectrum, and you never know what's somebody is thinking, or what somebody is doing, or what they're capable of doing, or what have you until it really comes down to it. But I just I don't know. It just to me, a certain level of civility is gone. And we've talked about that before. I
don't want to get off on that tangent again. For those of you who are wondering, you can go to our website and click the Wayback Machine Trampled into Footpot podcast dot com sponsored by Harneil Media Steve neilin in the chat are you doing Steve? You can go back and check out that episode. But there is a lot of need for more civility anymore. I mean, you know, we're we're a lot of people say that, well, this country has never been so divided. Well, yes it has. We kind of
fought a civil war, that's how divided we were. Nobody's busted out the weapons yet. But I think people would just sit back, relax, take a chill pill, and try being civil to one another. About half of the perceived problems we have would just go away, you know, there's there's what we have now. In my the way I see it, the Internet is like the wild West rules, there's rules, but it's kind of very much, you know, a free for all. And I think that it
serves the function of let's say, a release valve where steam. So it's better to go back and forth at people that have whether it's political, cultural, whatever the heck, the situation is back and forth, back and forth, typing and then oh yeah, I'm going to write up this huge essay and publish it and the and it's better for people to bust out with all that than actual So I think that it's yeah, it's useful in in that
way. And if you have a doubt over the factual, a factual you know, thing like whatever could be political or or historical or cultural, because there's also or woodworking in itself like we yeah, well you can't do it like that because you know, and or this tool is all that is fought in a perfect situation, releasing that tension via the keyboard. So in a way, it's it's healthier than daggers and spears in the streets with blood running
down the you know, sidewalk. Oh sure, but you said it's the Internet is like the Old West. It's no, it's it's not the Old West anymore. We're into Mad Max beyond Thunderdome territory now, you know. It's it's take no prisoners, leave no survivors, you know. But yeah, I agree with you there. I mean, you know you're gonna post this big old wall of text. It's going to be ignored. And let's be honest. Has anything like that ever changed anybody's mind? Maybe toward the
person who posted it? And that's about it. Yeah. No. One time, I kept writing, and I think I've told you. I think you one time, but somebody on the I kept when I would be writing whatever topic on a video, I'd go to the and I'm typing fast and i'd type it's and I always have the little um what's called the apostrophe creating it is. And at some point I got into the habit of just going
with the it is. But it's not always app applicable. But I'm writing because it's a it's a short format, and you know, I'm not an English teacher anyhow, but it's not I know the difference, But I'm just getting kept using that habit to be honest with everybody listening. I just got that habit and I kept using it in the context of R and I just kept going. And then one guy in a reply, he said, it's and he didn't say anything else, you know whatever, and he said,
and I looked at it. I looked what I looked up A crap? Okay, yeah, I said, damn, I've been using that, you know, because I've just been running right through And it was a correction, you know, And I was mindful of it from that point on. Um, I still do it sometimes by mistake because I just keep going and I but um, so you know what I'm saying, So correct sometimes corrections are a good thing. Um, if you take it in the light of what
it is. Oh, you know, I'm should I feel ashamed and no, it's but all depending on how it's done to you, now, be honest. Was it me, No, because I am that guy. No, you did it one time because I wrote it out. I think it was in the description of one of our Yeah, and you said, hey, it's it's here. I said, oh, okay, yeah, so
I understand it. I do it anyhow. It's it's one of those things I am that guy, and I really do try not to be I must spell things all the time, but I am completely totally supported by spell check. I mean, when I'm writing stuff out, it wouldn't matter to the folks listening on the podcast. But I could share a screen and show you. I type everything out, descriptions and all that other stuff for videos or for the podcast or anything. I type it all out in a word processor
and I spell check it. Then I'll copy it and paste it. So because I studied English, to me, it's just it's one of those things. It's we're trying to communicate in the medium that we have available to us, and that is, in this case, written text. So let's I was taught years ago the words mean things, So let's use the right word to convey the proper meaning. That way, there's no confusion, you know.
But I'm that way with commas. I'm that way with apostrophees. When people use the wrong sense of the wrong version of there or here, you know, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Yeah you know, and you see that all over the place. It's not just in our comments and stuff like that. I mean, I was working in a casino. I'm the floor manager and the guy from the cafe brings out the little sandwich board
and sets it out next to the cafe door. The specials of the day was listed on it, and try our homemade soups t R Y A R E. I'm like, dude, you're not even trying not our our Oh you are, you know, belonging to us, not our are coming. And he's like, oh oh yeah, oh man, that's just the way I talk, right, But you know, no, no, The thing is that he has to he was taught a teachable moment there, but you know, you also have you also have to save face. So he's processing
it. But he's if he's uh, if he's if he can look in the mirror, Um he could understand that, Okay, I was in air and now I adjust for this and now I'm better for it. Uh huh. You know what I'm saying as opposed to, you know, the ego thing, which is a hard thing to get over because the ego thing dominates. But you want to look professional and you don't want to look foolish. It's like, okay, you need to fix your sign because that's wrong.
You don't want people making comments to you all night long. Yeah, you're right, thanks, you know, okay, cool, you know it's I try not to be obnoxious about it, and I let ninety nine point of it ago. Unless somebody's being belligerent, then I'll sit there and I'll get picky. You know, you left a dangling participle here. You know,
five out of ten would not read again things like that. What happens is also and and and we will look at something, will read something, and you'll find the error which sticks out and you have to sort of reread it or many times you read it and you interpret what they're trying to get at.
And so not only are you reading the language, but you're having to interpret within the language right because it's misspelled to figure out what and by by not doing it clearly, it creates a situation where misunderstanding is going to occur. And if this were in a high in a high level sort of like uh, international discussion, one word could mean disaster, you know what I'm saying. So there is a purpose for the words and using it grammatically correct.
Well, yeah, and you know, and I don't split hairs, I mean, you know, and like I said, I ignore it. Ninety nine poincurring percent of the time. I really don't mess with it because I'm not out to humiliate anybody or anything like that. But it was to save somebody some embarrassment. I'll say, you know what, dude, you might want to I'll shoot somebody at PM and say you might want to fix that. You know, it's you know, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I mean it's look it. It helps the person in the
long but anyhow you're helping the person. Well, but some things do bother me, you know. And I'm hearing it more and more often by professionals who should no better, you know, And it's it goes back to the old less versus fewer. You know, less is a volume and amount fewer is a quantity. So the sign up there in the grocery store ten items or less is wrong. It should be ten items or fewer. Now we don't say that, And I've accepted that it ain't going nowhere. It's here
to stay. But when I say, when I hear somebody on TV in an ad say we have thirty three percent less moving parts, No, you have fewer moving parts. You don't have less. You can say ninety nine percent less caffeine. That's true. But you know, I guess I guess I should just be fewer annoyed by that. Well, so okay, right, So here's the thing. You know, So that annoyance of yours is because you have your certain level of education and knowledge that um, I mean,
you see it, it sticks out like a sore thumb. There is also another scenario which we've talked about with hobby. I see hobby there, so I'll bring it up, um, and I'm wondering whether what you think about it. So you have what we're what we're talking about grammatically, But how about in conversation you'll have people with slang um. So look, um, many times I will use certain slang um to sound more and I do
it automatically, like in the normal conversation. You know, you'll say little phrases that are culturally that we're culturally aware of because they're in common use in a certain sector of society. UM. And you'll use like maybe a little bit more of a of a you know, country sort of little slang let's say that eliminate certain words or changes. And you do these things because it's just unfolding. In the normal con I do not speak when I'm talking with
people. It depends I could. I could speak specifically, I could do that, um, but in a friendly conversation there's more of a lax for me. And so you'll use certain words now since hobbies there there's things that just because you use, don't don't mistaken. There's people that can only speak that way, is what I'm getting at, Like that is their trajector,
that is there. They're sort of like rule of thumb. That's just how they And there's people that are aware of such slangs and incorporate it, incorporate them in an artistic you know what I'm saying. What do you think about that? Well? Yeah, And a lot of it's regional, a lot of it's cultural. A lot of it can just be I say regional. A lot of it can be just I mean, you can zoom right in and say, no, it's just this area of town they say this versus
something they say over on the other side of town. There's a lot of that common everyday normal speech doesn't bother me. Slang has never bothered me. I'll have to sometimes take somebody aside and say, hey, what does that mean? Because I don't know if you should I laugh, or you know, get out my boxing gloves. But you know that kind of thing. I mean, that's common, and we do have different languages. You always
spoke to your friends differently than you spoke to your parents. And you spoke to a teacher or a principle differently than you spoke to your parents or your friends. You know, married guys know this. There is a special language that you use around your mother in law. It's total avoidance of anything physical.
You don't want to discuss anything physical around your mother in law. And it's just something that we all do and it's subconscious, we don't even know we do it, and it's just, you know, people are people. What the heck I mean? Let me um throw at you. As an example, we're now in the year twenty nineteen, fixing to round the corner, round the corner into um twenty twenty and but now here's going back. I'm gonna throw a few slang at you from the third Okay, okay,
what do what does this mean for the folks out there? And Mark make tracks? Somebody tells you make tracks? What does that mean? Mark? Get out, leave quickly? Get out? Yeah, buzz off, shot up, how about this one bumping guns? Talking yeah, or talking nonsense? Oh okay, okay, how about giggle? Juice would have to be alcohol of some kind. Whiskey, okay, whiskey, all right? How about blow your wig? I guess it would have to be similar to blow
your mind that we would use today. Surprise or yeah, it's get excited about something. Yeah, okay, now that's different. That's a little bit different. Well, but you were in the you were completely I would say that I would give you that one for sure. How about slip me five, oh, handshake something like that? Yeah, exactly that. Um, how about well, this one you're gonna understand. But cute as a bug's
ear. You know, my grandmother used to say that. But you're talking about that very East Texas, so you know, I never understood it. You know, how the heck would a bug zeer be cute? But I've heard it. So Hobby's saying, those are great expressions of slang. Those are not bad grammar. Well, that's true, those are not. But we're we're talking about the whole subject, right, We're not talking about just that I pointed you outby because we have had that conversation. But It's not
all about that particular thing. What I'm saying is that things in communication. So if somebody what, we're okay, so I'll do this. What if somebody were to bring something like that, one of those sayings into a conversation just out of nowhere, in a group of friends or whatnot. Would it turn a few ears? Maybe? Maybe not? What do you think it might it? It's possible, I mean, you know, especially if you haven't heard it, and it'll probably become in a cute as a bug zeer?
Where did you get that from? What is this? You know, nineteen thirties, You think you're Paula Deane or something. You know, it might get some comment, Yeah, but I don't know that. I mean, we as Americans, and I'm specifically talking about Americans because I really have no frame of reference with Canada or the UK. But we as Americans have done so much to the English language, a little bit for the English language, but a whole lot to the English language that nothing surprises me anymore.
And we've been creating our own slang on this continent since before we were a country. I mean, you know the word dude, we use it every day. Well, it originally meant somebody who was fancy and dressed up, you know, said that the back East. Yeah, and you know that's just one example of I mean, thousands and thousands of them, so normal. And I also want to kind of qualify what I said earlier when I'm talking about grammar and proper English, I technically I just mean in text,
my thing is using the wrong word. I will use the wrong word constantly. I know what I want to say, it doesn't come out that way. But because we're speaking face to face through cameras and headphones and what have you, body language and context is a big thing, and you can follow
what I'm trying to say. So conversationally is completely different. I mean, so we are speaking the same language, and by the way, writing and speaking like you're saying, there are two differences because one is you have to read it interpret it, and here we're having all sorts of signals occurring.
So I get. But now going off into another situation is what we are speaking and the inflections that we have and Canadians have, let's say English, sure, compared to the British right or the Australians and New Zealanders South Africa. Um, I just you know that we the Americas, there's a certain and this is what I was mentioning earlier on Canadians and Americans. And that's a mouthful because of what we explained before, we're all Americans in a funny
way, it's true. And yet North Americans, Yeah, well, why do we have the inflections that we have, which from Canada to America it's pretty darn you know, similar, and yet it's a far dry from did they develop even And it's like it's just a regional dialect of the same. I mean, just look at the UK. When you look at the UK as a whole, and we're not talking about Ireland. Ireland is not a part of the UK, so we're talking England, Scotland, Wales. It's
roughly the same size as the state of Oregon. And look at the difference and accents and dialects there. They go all over the place. There are a ton of dialects over there and different accents. It's no, it's no difference here. I mean, excuse me. We I have a different accent than you have. You have a different accent than Daniel harru Has and a different accent than Billy Burt has that is true that there is subtle I don't see a different accent if I'm talking to Greg or if I'm talking to Jem
Dockerel. You know, it's it's just a regional accent to me. Okay, you're right, You're okay, you're right. Well, so if I listen to Harju or say billy um, I don't want to say because I really don't want to say that. It's it's an obvious, just apparent in your face sort of like difference. But there is that regional subtlety. But I can still identify all these people that you mentioned as American, and I can identify those people that you mentioned as Canadian as it being a of a
Canadian linguistic sort of you know, subtlety, although it's regional. Yeah, I was getting ready to say, because if you talk to somebody like Trevor Carter, who is in I don't remember if he's in Newfoundlander a Brunswick, but m Newfoundland. Yes, he's in Newfoundland. You talked to Trevor Carter. His accent is different from Greg, which is different from Jim Dockerell. So they have their regional accents as well. Hey, Hey, Hey, listen, Mark. Yeah, Um, I just I just read Billy Burr.
He says, hey, hey, leave me out of this low. Well, Um, I just I just since he said that, of course I'm going to have to single him out. So every time Billy, everywhere, time we're hanging out, you know, and he starts talking, I hear and I hear gunshots in the back, and it says Texas. But see there again, even techs not not I'm kidding, but you know, but even Texas, there are different accents in Texas. If I close my eyes, I could see Billy on a horse galloping through the desert. If
I close my I'm just kidding. Billy is more central and central and western Texas. Now you get somethingbody like my grandmother who's from East Texas over near the Louisiana border. She was has sugar bugger, how y'all doing today? That kind of thing. Okay, right, So it was completely different. So even even within Texas, you can be completely different. Yeah. Yeah, so, and that was one of her favorite phrases, by the way, was sugar booger. I don't ask me how she thought that was a
good thing, because I really don't know. But here's here's the thing. So so to answer my question, then, um, Marcus, so once people said old or began settlement in the America's North America, at least from my vantage point right now, barring the obvious, which I agree with what you said, is as far as regional there was, it seems like it all adapted away from England, let's say, pretty equally. Like it sounds yes, you can have people out west and this and that, but there's
it sounds except that Boston, let's say, or New York. But I think that the influence is so you know, worldwide, like in that big city that you have what we hear in people of New York. But for the rest of the day it's kind of there's a similarity. Yeah, yeah, the the and it's just one of those regional things. I mean, I keep having to come back to that. But it's also influenced from other languages because the southern accent around the Appalachian Mountains and in down into Georgia.
Some parts of Georgia originally came from the Scotch Irish that settled there North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia. The far eastern Tennessee was the Scotch Irish who settled there, and a lot of them were people who just got the heck away from the Brits and wanted to get as far away as they could. It wasn't even part of the United States yet, and that kind of infilt, that kind of just moved outwards and spread outwards. And when you figure
our parents are the people who teach us how to talk. If they say, like my grandfather did, if he didn't call it a tire, he called it a tar that's what you think it is. You know, he didn't use a tire iron to work on a tire, or he used a tararn. But that's how he was taught to speak by his parents, who were taught by their parents. Right, So you know, it's it's a fascinating subject for me. A lot of people don't get into it at all.
They just couldn't care less. They'll continue to call that thing you drink of out of, drink out of a bubbler instead of a drinking fountain or a water fountain or a water faucet or whatever you decide. Those are variations, you know. Yeah, but it's but so long as we all know what we're trying to say, I think the whole point of language is to communicate, exactly, to communicate ideas, laws, contractual, It's it's to
communicate. Uh, it's that's the purpose of it. And as we stand here now, the English that we speak obviously UM as a whole, like generally speaking in North America, it can be broken down as we've mentioned. But going back in time to its inception, which is a gray sort of fading in, UM sounded nothing like what we speak. If I don't know if you've seen that video UM where the guy you go back to old English and it's completely different. He reads beowulf in and it's like you want to
get absolutely confused. Try Welsh. Gaelic is confusing enough because they like to throw silent letters in there. Try Welsh. I mean they've got letter combinations that make absolutely zero sense, and it's all consonants, you know, with a vow thrown in. I think that's just where they take a breath, you know. It's like you have that one huge that down. I think I showed it to you on the map and showed you the name of the place. I cannot say the town's name, but it ends with time to
sileo and that's as close as I can get to it. That's a crazy language. And that brings up another thing there, and that you were talking about American slang. You want to confuse somebody from outside of the country use American slang. They have absolutely no clue what you're talking about, because I mean, just something as innocent as you go over to you go over anywhere, a chick is a little yellow thing that goes peep peep. It's not
some female walking down the street. Yeah, and that no matter where you're from, and you see that chick. Yeah, everybody, yeah, what you mean? They know what you mean, but you're saying that. They don't necessarily like it, but they know what you mean. You go over to the UK and it's bird, right, you know, look at these two birds over here. They know that that means the same thing as chick
over here. And I would know that if I were in England and had to hear it because of funny enough, through a song which was Norwegian, would the Beatles because he calls you know, the chick a bird exactly And I knew that because of the story. But it's funny how that works right now, Yeah, exactly, but you. But again, they're speaking in the language the slang, using the slang in the vernacular that they know and understand, and we picked up on it because their music was so popular.
But we've been we've been on this podcast now for an hour, we've been recording for an hour, and now I'm going to get controversial, okay, because I'm going to say here, straight up in front of everybody, proudly, all accents are false and they're affected. It's a put on, and I can prove it. What do you mean? All accents are fake. The Southern accent is fake, the Midwest accent is fake. The British accents are fake. I hear Canadian accents are fake and I can prove it.
All right, sing, when you sing, you lose your accent. Well, wait a second, that's a different story. No, it's not a different story. That's what I'm getting at. When you sing, you lose your accent. Well, if Tom Jones does not sound like he's from Wales, listen to him speak. But there's another beatles sound like they were from Liverpool. Hold on, but can I that's true English? Okay? So it was a That's that's the point. I was trying to make FA's true
English with no accents at all. Listen to any of them sing Okay, but I'm gonna have to see But but are you serious about this? I'm serious about this. It's something that I've noticed after almost fifty nine years of life on planet Earth. No pushbacks coming. But I'm gonna ask you can I right, this is what my thought. This is what I think. So I see what you're saying, because it's like worldwide, all these people are busting out to um, you know whoa pussy cat? Whoa? Anyway,
So I get, but it's as funny as crap. Um. But if you think about that song, it is so ridiculous. I don't even know what to tell you. And it was a hit. Yeah, I mean I I we what pussy cat whoay? A millionaire? I know it. So with that's end, by the way, and that that should that that says it all there, society, everything just down the tree. That just says it all. Um. With that said, my pushback comes in
this fashion. Um, when people are in the singing mode, what is happening is that they're actually using another language in the context of it's a discipline that's occurring that they have learned because when you say words, so for instance, UM, I'm gonna walk right out if you say that that if you if you if you use that sentence, I'm gonna walk right out. Um, you're saying it. But if you're singing it, yes, there's a
similarity, but there's something different going on. Um you're using I'm a walk right out or whatever, and you're using tonalities that you've genres that you've heard. So it's a different language. So that's my arguments for that. I get I think you get what I'm saying. Vowels are rounder um, Stresses are put in different areas of a word. Letters are enunciated. Yeah, if you go down south, I go down down south, and I spent just enough time down south that I drop rs and gs when I'm down there.
I don't go swinging. I'm swinging. You know, things like that, I'm not driving. I'm driving. But but are you trying to tell me that we should you? But when you sing it, you'll say driving or swinging unless you purposely change it. No, you don't say driving. Oh I say you don't say that. You only say driving. If you're
from long Island. Excuse me, Long Island. Wait wait wait, I am, and I've never I've never even said I've never I've never even said driving guy, yeah said it, But well I am besides a little bit too much to make the point. But I'm saying, usually say singing wise, you spred up my whoping. Usually say dravn or whatever, and and
you do create that situation. But so okay, So my whole point is it's it's a different lad, it's a different So that I agree with you, Yeah, I agree with you wholeheartedly on everything that you just said, but it only goes to bolster my case and help me to prove my point that when you're singing, all of the accent is gone unless you purposely do it, unless you purposely twanging up for a country song or something like that, all of the accent is gone. And that is true English. Well,
I mean, that's that's that's just my opinion. I could be wrong, but i've you know, it's just something that I've noticed. You can and take somebody like Brian Johnson, the singer for a CDC. Everybody understands it. He's got a loud, screeching voice. But if you've listened to him speak. He's hard to follow. He's got such a thick Jordy accent. Yeah, it's just holy cow, that come out of the same guy. I see what you're saying. So in the singing realm, in the
musical realm, everybody can understand it, exactly. It's an international thing. I see what you're saying. Unless you're Joe Cocker, then nobody can understand it. I understand Joe Cocker. Well, yeah, but you're bilingual, so you know that helps. He's a good singer. Joke, I'm not saying he's a bad singer. Joe Cocker and Van Morrison are the two singers that are the hardest to understand. Morrison can create situations because of his style
what he's trying. You know, he can't create little situations where you're like what, um, yeah, what did he just say? So Billy and Harvey just had a little two sentence back to back here. Um, if you're from England, you say drive ink uh and then and then uh. Hobby said no, it's drive ink um. And I just wanted to say that with Jamie Page or a good friend Jamie Page. He does have the ability to or he's from that Cockney sort of variation, and said, up,
well he's he said as much um uh. He said as much um. But in any event, when he talks, and he'll finish a sentence with um. See, I said, sentence sentence. It's actually sentenced, right, but I say sentence. But we're but we're speaking, and you're speaking quickly and we do drop letters. Okay, okay, all right. I just picked it up myself. I said, sentence sentence, what my top sentence in any event? I just I just self realized what he just
you just did. You just did Texas, Massachusetts, and Vermont all the same time, and I just hope you didn't hurt yourself. I just started to realize I'm gonna end up not being at a speak. So so here's the thing, um, Jamie Page. At the end of a sentence, sentence, he will say damn dude. He will say um instead of think, he'll say think think and you'll throw in an F and so he'll do little variations like that. So they were just bringing up I wanted to put
that out there because I find it interesting. Not all British people or English you use that variation. But I've heard Jamie Page in natural conversation without you know, being jokey talking and using that bit and you know, so whatever. I just wanted to put that out there, that those variations, and again it's a regional dialect and there's a lot of that. In some regions over there, they will replace the thh with a V. So it's not
your brother, it's your brother brother. Yeah. It various regions have various different things, and that's that's all great. I mean, you know why not, because I believe that the language is an evolutionary thing. It totally is. The language we're speaking today would would be under would have been understood back in the twenties, but if you go back into the eighteen twenties, probably probably not a lot of it would be understood. Well, probably not
a lot of it would. I mean the use of I mean, for instance, I don't know if that's an exa good example, but the words that we use within it in a in a laid back sort of way inside of our sentence structures, they might not They're like what and that might be like a red flag to them that these people are definitely not from our timeline. Uh, you know what I'm saying. So the words are there, some are new, but some little cultural, modernized cultural things we use are
inside of these sentences. And they might say, well, wait, that that doesn't sound right. These people are not from our timeline, yeah, or not from this area, you know, they're they're wow. I mean, we don't say thee or thy anymore or thine, but some places they did, you know. And you also have to remember that back then you had a whole bunch of different cultures coming together. You know, you had German immigration. When when the American revolutionaries fought the Red Coats, it wasn't
just a bunch of British guys over there. There were Germans, there were Scots, there were Irishmen, there were people from all kinds of nations in the British army over there, and those who stayed and wave upon wave of immigrants from all over the world. Words have evolved, were we have you know, well, just nothing's more American than a Hamburger. Well it's not strictly speaking American, and Hamburger means from Hamburg, Germany. You know.
So we had all these influxes of other languages that have added to our language and it's just be kind of become, you know, the stereotypical melting pot. Yeah, you know. But somehow in the last I don't know, twenty years or so, we've gone from creamy to superchunk and I don't get it. But that's another story for another day. You know it, you know, And and I do like the evolution. It's a fun thing.
And that's one of the reasons why it's so fascinating to me. It's I like to watch the language evolve, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much for the better, but either way, it's a fun ride. It so it is, and you know, it's funny how we hold on too. I was going to say that that a word that they never knew and would think as strange as supersize. Supersize me please, Yeah, uh so that's like that's something that has has uh there there there goes something and it's
something I'm gonna have to look up. But you go back a certain distance in the future. The word jumbo has no meaning, sir, in the future. Excuse me, in the past, I said, the future. I meant to see saying the wrong word is my thing. You go to a certain distance in the past and I'll look it up. The word jumbo has no meaning jumbo shrimp. How dare they no the word jumbo. Let's see, the word jumbo did not exist before the year eighteen sixty. Okay,
the word jumbo came from Jumbo, the elephant. Jumbo was an elephant who was went. He was born in Egypt and via rather like the word always screws me up circutus root, I guess you would say, ended up in the US. He was in the UK for a long time and he was a huge elephant, gigantic, and people just went nutso over it. It was a huge attraction. And he was in the UK. His shoulder height was he was ten and a half feet tall at the shoulder, just
ginormous thing, and people just went nutso for it. And the name Jumbo just kind of started being added to everything that was big. But you go back to eighteen fifty and said jumbo and when nobody would have any idea what the heck you were talking about. So it's just little things like that. How do these little colloquialisms enter into our vocabulary? Where do these words come
from? Rock and roll? That was not something you would say to anybody in public in the twenties or thirties because it was a slang term for doing the nasty. But then it was attached to the music in the fifties and brother, look out here we go. Yeah, it's just it's an evolutionary process that I think is funny and I'm a lot of fun to follow. Another thing to mention is that I do not know this from the past,
but I know it from recent past, say eighteen hundreds to now. And I don't know going back in time, but I can I suspect that it's true, and I want to tell me and the guys out there to tell me. The English language has exponentially grown in the amount of words that are available to us to describe to fine and so on. We have a huge could rin of fricking words stewing in there now, but back then was much more limited. What say you to a point? Yes to a broader point.
It was also convenience because formal education as we know it, where kids went to school from kindergarten at age five on up till they graduate high school at age eighteen, is relatively new. I mean, my great grandfather went through sixth grade and that's as far as he went. You were sent to school to learn how to read, write, to arithmetic, and be able to handle business and communicating with other people. And then that was enough.
You had enough education. We need your butt back here on the farm. We got hey to bail. And the first person in my family to graduate high school was my grandfather, my dad's dad, So that's relatively new. So we everybody had a limited vocabulary. Some people learned to read and write early and were just voracious readers. Some people weren't. They didn't just didn't find it useful. So you had limited vocabularies and limited knowledge kind of working
against each other. So depending upon where you go. Yeah, we had fewer words. I'm just saying the English language. Yeah, in the English language period, with the advent of technology and constant inventions both physical and you know, advances in medicine, advances in science, and new ideas being brought up. We have new words added to the English language all the time.
I mean, just look at since the Internet came out. You know, they were the little smiley face that we put on the end of a sentence in a Facebook post so folks will know we're kidding. Or word. Yeah, well they started out as emoticons. Now they're emojis. So we've gone from smiley face to emoticons to emoji in a span of about ten years. So that's you know, two words we've added right there. But it just
expands outwards. You know, look at words like selfie or people now use google as a verb just google it, right, That would be insanity back So what I'm getting at also is that if somebody it's how much more limited was the language back then? It had to be a much more basic thing? Is It's my assumption I would agree it would have to be a process of elimination. I mean, you've only got a certain number of things you can talk about. You're out on the farm with somebody who you've been with
for ever since you got married. You don't have a whole heck of a lot to talk about other than what the dogs stepped in this morning. So yeah, vocabulary is going to be pretty limited, pretty limited, And so there wasn't a lot of use for adding words. What are we going to talk about tonight or over um, I don't know, maybe rocks or let's go over all. Yeah, of the barn. I just there's a limited you know amount, sure, and I don't want to say that it was
that limited where it's like rock food. You know. No, it wasn't quite that bad. I mean, I'm sure it was in some places. But but but yeah, there were far fewer things because technology really hadn't taken off. I mean there were certain things. I mean, somebody had to name the saddle. Yeah, you know. But and now let me go ahead and blow a few minds out in the chat here. Since I mentioned saddles, people will tell you that there's two words. Well, there's three
words that have no rhyme. They are purple, orange, and month, and all three of them have rhymes in the English language. Oh, it does have a rhyme, and I'll link that two saddles. The word is kurple, which is a strap that goes around the hind quarters of a horse. Also, it's also referred to as the hind quarters of the horse. It's the kurple c U R p l E. Google it and uh the grunth. He totally ignored my purple norple. Uh mentioned I got it,
I just didn't want to acknowledge it. And the rhyme for month is the word grunth. It's a Hindu holy book. No, and the rhyme for orange is blo orange. It is a place in Wales. So wait, wait, wait, wait for for for what say the month one again grunth g r u n thh it's a Hindu holy text. So yes, all three of those have rhymes, okay, are exact because you can use words that that end up with the uh the right month uh dunce at the is it rhyme? Okay? Yeah month once it doesn't rhyme? No, you
could probably get away with it in a poetic thing. You could get away with it in a poem or a song and maybe a limerick. But you know, yep, I mean, hey, you know you did it.
Be impossible, there's no escape. I do want to mention that we do shows every Tuesday here on YouTube that's Trampled under Foot Podcast on YouTube, and we have a live studio audience without a studio, but they're out there, y'all know you was in a studio and um, so yeah, so we have this show and by the way, our podcast comes out every Tuesday, um worldwide from Trampled under Foot podcast com.

If we mentioned something in the podcast, like last week, Eloi mentioned his killer Blues number black Cat Train Track Blues, and so we posted a link to it on Trampled Underfoot Facebook page. I also linked it on the website and in the description of that live chat video. And by the way, it's gotten traction after that. I don't know what somebody shared it apart from me, but it's like it's kicking but dude, well cool good. Let's hope
it does get some traction. Man, it's I've put links all over the place that it's been freaking. It's blown. It's blown, dude, it's been blowing up. Dude. I've kept it. I don't want to ruin it. But it's been like playing and playing, like the numbers just keep rotating. I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's happening. Mark, Well, good folks like your music, dude, it's just happening.
Folks like you too. Let's keep posting. So like, yeah, we usually and this is Inside Baseball a programming announcement, we usually record on Tuesday nights. However, someone very near and dear to me, my wife is going in for surgery next Tuesday, so we will be recording next week on Monday. So that will be Monday, the twenty fifth in November, so I won't be here for Tuesday. So if the podcast will be released on Tuesday as normal, it's just we won't be recording next Tuesday. So set
your calendars back one day and everybody will be cool. Yeah, be here on Monday, same time. We'll release over on Facebook that we're gonna go live, but we're gonna do it Monday, and then I believe we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming times after that, right yeah, yeah, barring complications, of course. It's just it's just one of those things, you know, life is what happens while you're busy making other plans. John
Lennon Two other things. One, I didn't get to the actual thing that I had stored for this episode. One we never got around to it. That's that a work. We didn't preplant anything on this episode, and we just went into into where we went. And it's a surprise where we went and very interesting too. Yeah. I had a lot of fun. I like this kind of thing. But you see how it works, though, Yeah, I do. I dig. I dig the back and forth.
I dig the just the little digressions, and you can it's almost like conversations, pain paint mental images. And I could see the last car of the train falling off the track early on, and it was the domino effect, you know. Then in the next car got pulled over, the next car got over, the next car got pulled over, and here we are in the engine, going, oh, that's exactly the story. We ended up
where we didn't expect it. And we walked down a path that forked off into different directions and it kept on branching out and eventually we ended up at the bottom of the ravine looking up, you know, to the top of the canyon and thinking to ourselves. What I ended up talking about a subject that I think is a fun one, and I never even got into the great fricative shift. Oh well, maybe for another I had topic I had, I had some cool stuff lined up. Couldn't even touch it. Save
it for next week. Couldn't even touch it. Man, all right, catch you guys next time. Peace out, Thank you very much for joining us. Y'all have a good night. Trampled underfoot
