Have you ever wondered why we use certain phrases or words? Where did they come from? What's the origin of that saying? Why do we say "Rule of Thumb"? Why should we mind our "P's & Q's"? Father and son hosts Scott and Liam Kelly have the answers to those questions! We know you could just look it up online, but why not have us do the work for you and have a fun time listening! For Season 2 we are playing our world famous game show--What Word Am I? at the end of each episode! New episodes every Tuesday.

    Why Do We Say...Cut to the Chase?

    Send a text Ever wondered why we call someone's final performance their Swan Song? Or why impatient people always want to Cut to the Chase? This episode is jam-packed with phrase origins, questionable metaphors, and possibly a little too much enthusiasm about frying pans. We’ll also explore how being On the Same Wavelength has nothing to do with actual radio signals, and why jumping from one disaster into another is the true meaning of Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire (spoiler: it’s exactly as bad as it sounds). And of course, we wrap up with the newly world-famous  game show… Who Said That? This episode is proudly sponsored by Reel Review: The Sequels—because sometimes, the second time around is even better! Support the show https://reelreviewthesequels.buzzsprout.com/

Plus, we’re burying the hatchet (but not in each other) as we explore the origins of these quirky sayings! And, of course, our newly world-famous game show (yes, we’re calling it that now): "Who Said That?" returns with another round of quotable confusion!

    Why Do We Say...Hit Rock Bottom?

    Send a text Ever wondered why we say hit rock bottom when things go south? Or why being dressed to the nines doesn’t actually require the number nine? This week, we’re diving into some of the strangest and most dramatic phrases in the English language! Blood is Thicker than Water – Does this really mean family comes first, or have we been getting it wrong this whole time? One Fell Swoop – Shakespeare gave us this gem, but what the heck does a "fell swoop" even look like? And of course, we’re closing things out with our brand new, soon-to-be-world-famous game show, Who Said That?! We’ll throw out a famous quote, and you’ll have to guess who said it—will it be a literary legend, a historical icon, or a celebrity who really should’ve thought before speaking? So grab your fanciest outfit (or at least pretend you're dressed to the nines), and join us for another hilarious deep dive into the phrases we use every day without questioning!
