  Speaker 1: So have you checked it out yet? Ero dot net
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: a r r oe dot net. Not just a podcast,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: it is an exploration for you, twenty different explorations, one
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of them including vocal dfrag. When was the last time
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: that you stopped and asked yourself a question and then
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: questioned the answer. It's a lot easier just to ask
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a friend. And then when things go wrong, what happens? Right?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: How many times you been there? Vocal dfrag only on
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: erro dot net, r r oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Oh,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we are all guilty of it. You know those old saints, phrases, idioms,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the things that your family and friends usually bring up,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and it's like where did it even come from? Only
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: sometimes it actually makes sense. I mean they really did
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: have to start somewhere. Who, what, where? Why? When? And how?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Some of those old saynts are not only ancient, but
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you know what, they still carry a powerful punch even today.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: In fact, I live by one of those old saints.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Not everybody believes this, but you've got to live at sometime.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Winning is a choice. The goal of these episodes is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to help preserve not only a language, but lessons in life.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: My name is Arrow, Oh this is a good one.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: To the moon and back. It's absolutely from the space
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: exploration era. Now you would automatically think that this is
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: connected to Jackie Gleeson on the Honeymooners. Right, hold on
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a second, We're going to get there. The phrase to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the moon and back gained in popularity after the US
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Apollo eleven landed on the Moon. It marked the very
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: first time that the moon stopped being something that was
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: very poetic. It was very real, measurable and a true destination. Okay,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: back to Jackie Gleeson, he did not say to the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: moon and back. Jackie Gleeson shouted to the moon, Alice
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to the moon. On the TV show, Ralph Crampton jokingly exasated,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you flying. He does get credit for
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: planting the moon in our everyday language. It opened up
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the door for author Sam mcbranney, who pinned out the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: book Guess how Much I Love You? A child tries
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to measure love and says to the moon, to the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: moon and back. Suddenly the phrase had become universal. It
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: seemed as a visible metaphor. Now before we actually jumped
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: on to the moon and back, the things we told
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: people I love you forever. My love for you is infinite. Ooh,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that actually sounds kind of lame when compared to the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: moon and back. Well, here's a good thing. It bridges
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: science with emotion. It's something our parents would say. My
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: name is Erro.
