Latest / Armstrong & Getty One More Thing / You're Filling Some Big Shoes!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You're filling some big shoes. It's one more thing I'm strong,
- 0:04Speaker 1: and it's odd metaphor. Really, shoes aren't your size. You
- 0:12Speaker 1: shouldn't wear them under any circumstances. We have a couple
- 0:15Speaker 1: of members of the show that just learned that. Remember,
- 0:18Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Michael and Jack have been wearing undersized
- 0:21Speaker 1: shoes for years.
- 0:22Speaker 2: And someone wearing bigger shoes is not necessarily more competent either.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Big shoes to fill, I mean your feet can't grow.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I get what it means. Again, I'm just saying it's
- 0:34Speaker 1: an odd metaphor.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Before we get to something Saturday Night Live related, I
- 0:38Speaker 2: was gonna mention I was watching the Saturday Night Live
- 0:41Speaker 2: from last weekend. I guess when weekend before. Ryan Gosling
- 0:44Speaker 2: was a host. Who's one of the funniest hosts they've
- 0:47Speaker 2: ever had in SATA Live history. In my opinion, he's
- 0:49Speaker 2: done it like five times now. He is so freaking hilarious. Anyway,
- 0:53Speaker 2: they did a funny skit and I think it's the
- 0:55Speaker 2: first time they've ever done first time I'd ever seen it.
- 0:58Speaker 2: They started the skit and then they had on there
- 1:02Speaker 2: they put up lettering. None of the participants in the
- 1:09Speaker 2: skit had seen this before they read it. The theme
- 1:13Speaker 2: of it was it was teachers in a classroom and
- 1:15Speaker 2: the students were passing notes and then they were getting
- 1:18Speaker 2: the notes. Oh yeah, what does this note say? And
- 1:21Speaker 2: they hadn't seen them before they read them, and it
- 1:23Speaker 2: was so funny. They were all just dying trying to
- 1:26Speaker 2: get through it. But I thought, what a funny premise
- 1:28Speaker 2: to hit your you know, your actors in sketch comedy
- 1:35Speaker 2: with brand new stuff and see how they handle it.
- 1:37Speaker 2: That was a pretty funny idea and it's kind of
- 1:39Speaker 2: funny anyway. This was heard for the first time ever
- 1:42Speaker 2: Saturday Night. So they're expanding the Saturday Night Live franchise
- 1:52Speaker 2: from the United States and New York to Great Britain
- 1:55Speaker 2: in London.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Yeah, indeed, And not only do they have the big
- 1:58Speaker 1: shoes of SNL to but the big shoes of British comedy,
- 2:02Speaker 1: which I've loved since I.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Was Is it Lorne Michaels. Is it a Lorne Michael thing?
- 2:06Speaker 2: It almost has to be, right.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Well, he's probably their overlord. I'm sure they have their
- 2:10Speaker 1: own guy with you know, they cultural sensitivities.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Yes, is the answer to that?
- 2:16Speaker 1: Well, what do you mean, Yes, he's involved on some level. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 2:22Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah. Uh, it'd be insane not to involve him.
- 2:27Speaker 1: So you want to get a couple of samples of
- 2:29Speaker 1: it and see what we think. Wouldn't that be delightful?
- 2:32Speaker 1: This is a comedian name of George four acres. We'll
- 2:37Speaker 1: hear his bid.
- 2:37Speaker 3: For Oh golly, well, what if Donald shouts at me?
- 2:51Speaker 4: Just be yourself, Prime minister. Yourself is who everyone likes.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Hell, I've saw that scary, scary, wonderful president. Why is
- 3:08Speaker 3: it so probably difficult to talk to sir?
- 3:12Speaker 4: Just be honest and tell him we can't send any
- 3:15Speaker 4: more ships to the Strait of Hornos?
- 3:17Speaker 3: Oh, crubs, I just hate conflicts so much?
- 3:23Speaker 4: Are you referring to the war or this phone call?
- 3:25Speaker 3: Isn't there a way I cannot do both? I just
- 3:29Speaker 3: want to keep him happy, Labbee. You don't understand him
- 3:34Speaker 3: like I do. I could change him.
- 3:39Speaker 4: I don't think the feeling's mutual. He can't stop insulting you.
- 3:42Speaker 4: He called you a coward?
- 3:44Speaker 3: About of my depth?
- 3:45Speaker 5: There?
- 3:45Speaker 1: Labbee?
- 3:47Speaker 3: How did less trust make this job look so easy?
- 3:53Speaker 1: A pretty good humor.
- 3:55Speaker 2: He's got like a ten approval rating care storm than
- 4:00Speaker 2: taking on an American president, where like half the country
- 4:03Speaker 2: likes them. I don't like that they're exporting the idea
- 4:07Speaker 2: that Saturday Night Live has to be politics driven. I
- 4:11Speaker 2: don't know if that was just a portion of their show,
- 4:13Speaker 2: but you know, Sarah Live for a very very long time,
- 4:15Speaker 2: it had some politics, but it wasn't the main thing.
- 4:18Speaker 2: It wasn't the wake up Sunday morning. And what did
- 4:21Speaker 2: they do political last night's show?
- 4:23Speaker 1: Right, which I hate? Interesting? Okay, that would explain your
- 4:28Speaker 1: venom vehemence. Well, let's hear another clip. Does this need
- 4:32Speaker 1: any setups? From their weekend update?
- 4:35Speaker 5: Renovations to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's new home, Marsh Farm, have
- 4:39Speaker 5: been taking place over the last month, including the installation
- 4:43Speaker 5: of SkyTV. So if you're watching Andrew, hello, you're not
- 4:48Speaker 5: gonna like this next bit. Also, I'm older than I look.
- 4:59Speaker 5: Andrew's new residence, Marsh Farm, is of course named after
- 5:02Speaker 5: the nearby marsh where his body will be found.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Our prince is a pedophile, say wherea his body will
- 5:15Speaker 2: be found?
- 5:16Speaker 1: That was edgy? All right? I like it? What's to
- 5:18Speaker 1: roll on?
- 5:19Speaker 6: It was reported this week that the police investigation into
- 5:22Speaker 6: Andrew is set to widen. The big question now is
- 5:25Speaker 6: if Andrew is charged, found guilty, and put in prison,
- 5:28Speaker 6: will he be able to keep his mouth shut? I
- 5:31Speaker 6: hope not said his cellmate's penis.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Statement and did not see that coming. Wow, that was
- 5:49Speaker 1: I feel the need to move on.
- 5:50Speaker 2: I hope penis.
- 5:58Speaker 1: All right. We got one more cup here.
- 6:01Speaker 5: About three weeks into the Iran war, which started with
- 6:04Speaker 5: the death of one Ayatolla Homony and the appointment of
- 6:06Speaker 5: another Aye Tla Homony Hominy too.
- 6:09Speaker 4: But one's dead now.
- 6:17Speaker 1: She said, that's really good. That's funny. Show a lot
- 6:23Speaker 1: of politics, though, which will anger Jack.
- 6:26Speaker 2: I love sketch comedy, but it doesn't always have to
- 6:28Speaker 2: be politics.
- 6:30Speaker 1: You know. I oh, no, no, no, indeed, although I
- 6:33Speaker 1: really enjoy looking at other countries politics and political systems
- 6:39Speaker 1: and the humor and stuff, because if you if you
- 6:42Speaker 1: don't have a dog in the race or you know whatever,
- 6:47Speaker 1: and you can just watch it and take it in
- 6:51Speaker 1: as you know, without without any sort of personal feelings whatsoever.
- 6:55Speaker 1: It's it's just interesting. You got a guy with approval
- 6:59Speaker 1: ratings that low. Those are some pretty good jokes at
- 7:01Speaker 1: his expense.
- 7:02Speaker 2: You know, Since you mentioned this, I'll end the podcast
- 7:05Speaker 2: with this. So you said have a dog in the
- 7:12Speaker 2: race or whatever is an expression and then in the
- 7:16Speaker 2: expression earlier about shoes to fill. Yeah, expressions came up
- 7:20Speaker 2: yesterday in my kitchen with my son as I said
- 7:23Speaker 2: something about this is this is not a good this
- 7:27Speaker 2: is a course term late, don't wait for it. I
- 7:30Speaker 2: said something about shitting like a Christmas goose. My and
- 7:37Speaker 2: my fourteen and my fourteen year old said, I'm going
- 7:39Speaker 2: to pretend I have any idea what that.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Means, Henry, and then I said, you know, I don't.
- 7:49Speaker 2: I said, I think I'm using it right. I think
- 7:51Speaker 2: it The idea is like you feed force feed the
- 7:55Speaker 2: Christmas goose so much to fatten it up that it's
- 7:57Speaker 2: a digestive system. Is not good. I think that's what
- 8:01Speaker 2: it means.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I'm trying to think I've heard the expression without Christmas
- 8:04Speaker 1: because they are famously free with their cock.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Cop anyway, So I checked, I did a little AI
- 8:10Speaker 2: on it. Checked. I think chat.
- 8:11Speaker 1: GPT seriously, Katie, they ruined golf courses. I just tear
- 8:16Speaker 1: those Canada geese. I revealed my favorite, my current favorite
- 8:19Speaker 1: Canadian on the radio show The Canada goose is not
- 8:23Speaker 1: They're just crap machines.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I went on a walk with my dad and there
- 8:28Speaker 1: was just goose shit everywhere.
- 8:31Speaker 2: My dad he was dead, silent, and then all of
- 8:34Speaker 2: a sudden, you went, God.
- 8:36Speaker 1: There's just shit everywhere. That there is, well, well, said Dad, recording.
- 8:43Speaker 2: To chat Gpt. The expression shitting like a Christmas goose
- 8:46Speaker 2: or close variants like pooping like a Christmas goose or
- 8:49Speaker 2: shit's like a Christmas goose is not a shit it.
- 8:53Speaker 2: According to Chatbet, it's a relatively modern bit of vulgar
- 8:57Speaker 2: American slang, likely from the mid twentieth century onward, with
- 9:00Speaker 2: the first printed evidence beginning in the nineteen sixties, evoking
- 9:05Speaker 2: the image of a heavily fattened Christmas goose producing a
- 9:08Speaker 2: lot of waste, which is what I had assumed, and
- 9:10Speaker 2: I was correct. It's a playful extension of the more
- 9:14Speaker 2: common related phrase full of shit as a Christmas goose,
- 9:17Speaker 2: which I never heard before, which means full of lies
- 9:20Speaker 2: or nonsense or a big liar. I'd never heard that
- 9:23Speaker 2: one before. Both draw from the same imagery. Traditional Christmas geese,
- 9:28Speaker 2: common in older holiday meals, were force fed over and
- 9:32Speaker 2: fattened for the feast, making them stuffed and messy, according
- 9:37Speaker 2: to chat GPT.
- 9:38Speaker 1: In other words, what you said, yes exactly. Oh boy,
- 9:44Speaker 1: where did sading grin come from? I remember that.
- 9:46Speaker 2: That's a good one right there. Tomorrow we will do
- 9:48Speaker 2: s eating grin.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I certainly hope not. That reminds me. I am rearranging
- 9:53Speaker 1: the Gentleman's lounge in my house. That's what I call
- 9:55Speaker 1: the man the man cave, and I got a bunch
- 9:58Speaker 1: of shelves, so it's kind of a library now, and
- 10:00Speaker 1: in addition to everything else, it is. And I was
- 10:03Speaker 1: reminded that I had a book that I started, never finished,
- 10:07Speaker 1: and ought to just reread at least the first half
- 10:09Speaker 1: by Melissa Moore entitled Pardon Me, Holy Shit, A Brief
- 10:12Speaker 1: History of Swearing.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think we had her on well yeah.
- 10:17Speaker 1: And also read a piece that she wrote a couple
- 10:20Speaker 1: of years ago that explained the evolution of swearing. And
- 10:25Speaker 1: I found it so interesting, seriously about how one of
- 10:30Speaker 1: the aspects of it was that there was no privacy
- 10:34Speaker 1: for like poor people in the Middle Ages or whatever,
- 10:38Speaker 1: and so you would do your sex and your poop
- 10:40Speaker 1: and everything, and there's always somebody there just walking by
- 10:44Speaker 1: and watching you. You would you would have like a
- 10:47Speaker 1: one room hovel that you lived in, and you would,
- 10:51Speaker 1: you know, you wouldn't give me the wife what she
- 10:54Speaker 1: so richly deserved right in front of your other kids.
- 10:57Speaker 2: I could more easily do that than the you know,
- 11:00Speaker 2: oh lord, expulsion of waste in front of others.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Huh and uh. For the record, will the defendant state
- 11:09Speaker 1: whether he has done that or not?
- 11:11Speaker 2: Other jack, No, I have not.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I you know, we probably have some resourceful listener who
- 11:21Speaker 1: could find that podcast, because it was it was right
- 11:24Speaker 1: toward the beginning of doing the One More Thing podcast.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I think that we talked about this because I remember
- 11:29Speaker 1: talking about some of the old timy names of birds
- 11:33Speaker 1: that included Hanson gets your uh, your bleeper ready, but
- 11:38Speaker 1: the uh kestrel, which is like a coastal bird that
- 11:43Speaker 1: flies amazingly in the in the ocean winds and stuff
- 11:46Speaker 1: like that. Back in Mary old England was referred to
- 11:49Speaker 1: as a wind fucker, and that wasn't considered an obscenity
- 11:53Speaker 1: because people did that more or less out in the
- 11:56Speaker 1: open with the well, that's what that's what I called them.
- 12:02Speaker 1: That's what I called them. Flitting mixed company, you know,
- 12:04Speaker 1: what those used to be called.
- 12:07Speaker 2: So I suppose that's true if you had a one
- 12:10Speaker 2: room house, so like a a little house in the prairie.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Oh yeah, after the first kids born all night long,
- 12:19Speaker 2: the next couple of kids, first kids, you got to
- 12:23Speaker 2: watch the brothers and sisters be made. Well, I guess
- 12:27Speaker 2: you wait till your kids are asleep problem, and then
- 12:29Speaker 2: be really really quiet. Hey, keep it down over there,
- 12:32Speaker 2: try to make your little brother.
- 12:33Speaker 1: He keeps saying you want one.
- 12:37Speaker 2: I need to yell at all, right, captain or something?
- 12:39Speaker 2: I mean I need Oh my god.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Oh it's so bad. So anywhere cure starmer is super unpopular. Boy,
- 13:03Speaker 1: I don't need to know my co workers as well. Well,
- 13:08Speaker 1: I guess that's it.
