What are we doing? Is it a bunch of Menards bits? Uh, Aaron, what was that? That's what they were doing before we were recording. You guys were doing Menards bits before we were recording? I'm sorry? Never mind. We were not doing Menards bits. We were doing Menard Les Miserables bits. Okay, well, excuse me.

Instead of Javert, we were doing Menards. And Aaron, you could have joined joined in but you were on your phone Another day another destiny Menards Sending him some nudes. I'm just kidding. I would never do that Unprompted that's the joke you make yeah Men can do it that I can do it Your landlord's like, what the fuck? What's going on?

You're addicted, my god. Okay, I'll knock $50 off. Fellas, what are we doing today? Aaron, they don't have Menards out in LA, do they? I don't know. They do, but they call them Airwands. Do they have Chili's out here though? Because I've been craving it.

I'm sure Chili's is nationwide. Yeah, I'm sure. Aaron, unless Chili's has gone through like really bad times lately and I haven't met them, I don't know what to do. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know I've been craving it. I'm sure chilies is nationwide. Yeah, I'm sure. Unless chilies has gone through like really bad times lately and I haven't been paying attention. I bet they have chilies there. Which you never know. What have you been craving from chilies?

Basically everything. It all kind of tastes the same. Every time I go to chilies, I just say one of each. One of each, please. They call it running the gauntlet. I say, give me the ball. And what the ball is, is it's chicken, ribs, pork belly, and mac and cheese,

all stuffed together in a basketball. And fried. And fried. In a basketball. In a basketball. They dribble it out. They keep the basketball coating, and you crack it open like an egg.

All right, now I'm not craving chilies anymore. You cured me. All right. What's up, guys? Well. It's like a turducken accepted basketball instead of a turkey. Ew, okay, okay, okay.

Percy. It's stuffed inside a basketball. Well, Aaron, it sounded like, up until I talked about that ball of food, it sounded like you were as hungry as a horse. Is, Erin, it sounded like up until I talked about, um, that ball of food, it sounded like you were as hungry as a horse. Is that fair to say? Yeah. What's this going to be?

What am I walking into? Don't agree to anything, Erin. As your lawyer, I advise you not to agree to anything. God, I need to get a better lawyer. Erin and JPC, we're going to do something that I believe we have not done on the Patreon since July 12, 2019. Oh, no. I believe.

Are we gonna have a good time? You know what I'm saying? That's funny. Roasted our asses. Roasted our dumb asses. We're doing four years of, five years, six years of content. And not having a lick of fun.

Yeah. We're gonna bring back a little something, Phrase the Roof. I was just about to guess this. I'm not even kidding. Because, Adel, this was your original concept for what our podcast was going to be. That's right. You were going to guess that.

It sounds like you were almost as clairvoyant as a horse. Not really the same as a horse. And what's the origin of that, Wink? And you're gonna tell us. That comes from salt. I'm as confused as a horse. Turns out people used to have horses, a little more commonplace than today.

But how this works is we're gonna have a phrase, just like a little saying, something that you might hear in everyday life, but you never quite sat down to really think through where it originated. Well, we're going to tell you the backstory of it. And along the way, we're going to call for some improvised scenes. I'm so excited.

I do all my best thinking sitting down. Erin, would you say you're as excited as a horse? I'd say I'm as excited as a horse. Kick someone behind me, they have lifelong injuries, never quite recover, not allowed to have children on my back anymore. We have to put Aaron down. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm gonna be bad glue.

I don't stick to anything. Oh no, Aaron, he just meant. Da da da da da da da da da. He just meant, give you like. How flam. Casual insults. So you didn't, not the literal put down, just the. Too tall. You're too tall, what else, what else, what else?

Teeth gaps are all wrong. I love the phrase, I would be bad glue. Baby, now I got bad glue. Here's our first phrase or saying, and this one, boy oh boy, could not be more commonplace. This is the least exciting of them all. This is goodbye. Where do we think we get goodbye from?

Interesting, I've never even thought of goodbye as a phrase. I mean, neither. Mm-hmm. Goodbye? Okay. Well, I think what probably happened is there used to be a rating system, right, after a conversation that you have with someone. Oh, goodbye, okay, bye, bad bye. Yeah. So it'd be like, so if like we talked and it went poorly,

it'd be like, bad bye. Or if it went well, you'd be like, oh, goodbye. And then if it went like, if it was like a really bummer of a conversation, you'd be like, sad, bye. Wouldn't it be well bye then? Well bye. Well, bye. Well, it got too confusing because of well, bye.

So they had to say goodbye. If it went as well as it could possibly go, that would be a best buy. Yeah. And that's where we get electronics from. Isn't that fun? Oh, and that's okay, I'm learning. So here's the origin of goodbye.

The expression you still daily, thanks. We got that. Still use daily by most comes from the 16th century or perhaps earlier when people used to say, God be with you as they departed. It has of course been shortened over the years to our current goodbye. So God is couched within good.

Okay, I'd like to see a scene. You guys are in the 16th century. And because like the diet's poor and there's lots of diseases and all sorts of stuff. JPC and Adol, you're having a conversation, but JPC, you're hallucinating that God is next to Adol, that he's with him. And you're trying to point that out.

Well, John died from smallpox and then Mary got the plague and of course, Rebecca has consumption and Trevor, Trevor was kicked by a horse, stood behind it. We had to put the horse down. So it goes, so it goes. Yes, yes, yes, so that's. Well, you still have six more, so... Yes, still have six more.

Yeah, so that's good, that's very good. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Uh, are you two off to somewhere, or just kind of passing through my shop, or are you on your way to a place? Um, we're on our way to a funeral, but I can't remember who for. Huh. Who for? What why?

Ah, well, um, yeah, I mean, can I get you any provisions or anything? This is, you know, stop along the way. Anything for the tall man, tall fellow? I'll say man. Look to him. Uh, provisions. Anything for the journey? Sorry, who's the fellow you mentioned?

Just the two of you. Just... I want to say husband because I've met your husband. This is not him, but I don't want to be too presumptuous. Big white Hmm. Tall as a mountain. Makes my heart a flutter. Ah. Your companion. Silent companion. Yes. Oh, God.

This is God. God walks with me, yes. This is God. Yes. Big fan. Yeah, God is God. Not so much of what you've been doing lately. That could take another pass, but just kind of the general, big fan of the general vibe.

Living. Nailed it. Yeah. Life could use some work. Not a criticism. Not even the kind of guy that gives criticism. But burgers. Oh, burgers, hey hate they really hit the spot

Who's what now who what have you had a? Tell me you've had a burger Don't know that certainly you're not meeting the Duke of Hamburg That's exactly my ears burning Help help help He's got rubella? It's never gonna go away, and how are you two doing looking at you and then you? Me poor her poor mm-hmm

God forget a comment seems like What are you talking about? There's only two of you here? Okay, hold on now. I can't be the only one who sees the visage of God here upon my shop. Hmm. Oh, you see a visage.

I thought you just meant in general, like, um, you know, is with you kind of thing. Okay, fuck me. Fuck Mark. I guess I don't know shit. Whoa. Everyone else can clearly see as Daisy. What's that normal stuff? What are you smoking? It smells. Mark, what are you smoking? It smells like a skunk.

Oh yes. I cooked up a skunk. You're smoking a skunk? I'm smoking a skunk. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, hate Riddle Riddle's Clue Crew. See ya.
