    I asked my mom about the “sliced bread” and she told me that when she was growing up during the depression, they always made homemade bread. When bread became mass produced and pre-sliced, they just thought that was the best thing. So hence the saying “best thing since sliced bread”.

      They fill it with stuff so it will last a bit longer.
      Stuff that is banned in Europe, and many places in Asia and South America.. its really not good.
      And the US say, well we know its bad, and we labeled it as not good, but we will leave it in. Companies need to make money you know.

    7:50 "Fine and Dandy" old expression "Fine" meaning rich wealthy etc and "Dandy" meaning fancy. During the wild west era "a dandy" was someone who wore fancy expensive clothes, and typically did little physical labor. many believe Dandy was also a stand in for homosexual much like "Confirmed Bachelor"

    Everybody needs to see more of George Carlin. He died a while ago long while ago but he transcends time. He was brilliant back in his day I remember being a teenager or young adult getting excited to watch one of his HBO specials. Live from the Beacon theater is one of my favorite. He is one of the few comedians that can speak for over an hour and take like 3 sips of water he can just ramble on about the craziest stuff that just makes sense. That people want to say but don't and he does it brilliantly

    Around the late 19th century, an event called a "cake walk" was popular.
    Essentially, it was a couples dance competition in front of a panel of judges, with the prize for winning being
    a 12-foot-long cake.
    The couples, in the best clothes they owned, would stand hand-in-hand in front of the judges,
    who sat behind the cake which was on a long table, and dance to a very slow two-step.
    Left foot out, slide it back to center, right foot out, same, over and over again.
    Then they'd bow and curtsey, and the next couple would step forward.
    At the end, the judges would decide the winner, who'd get to take the enormous cake home with them.
    Stupid as it sounds, that's where the phrase "takes the cake" comes from. ;}

      We used to in the 1980's and 1990's did cake walks at school carnivals. You'd walk on numbers in a circle while music played. When it stopped, you'd check the number you are standing on, they'd call a number, and if you were standing on that number, you'd win a cake. I heard they do 2-liters now though.

    Sliced bread doesn't so much refer to the idea of sliced bread so much as the invention of the machine that could slice bread and wrap it so slice bread could be mass produced and sold. That machine was invented in 1928. Before that you sliced your own bread. Because of its popularity, in the early 30s bread companies began using "since sliced bread" in their marketing saying things such as "the newest thing since sliced bread", and it became somewhat of a meme long before people understood what a meme was. At that time sliced bread was only a few years old. We look back and don't quite get it because we didn't grow up with the advertisements, but we also don't hear the phrase much anymore. George wasn't old enough to have been around when those advertisements were popular, but he would have been around during the peak of the "greatest thing since sliced bread" meme.

    The science put into a single piece of slice bread is actually pretty insane. (no joke) They spent quite a lot of time figuring out how to make the bread, get it into the shelves, and have it go to a customers home before it could get rock hard and then mold quickly. This is also why store bought bread isn't nearly as healthy as bread you can make at home, but your homemade bread will be a brick in like 2 days.
    This is for today's sliced bread. I have no idea how the 1928 sliced bread was. I'm hoping it wasn't just normal bread that was sliced cause that'd go bad quickly. 😂

    Like it's jus a comedy bit, and maybe this is only true because by now I'm just so familiar with Carlin that it's ingrained, but I really honestly do think "more than happy" sounds like a euphemism for a mental condition of some sort. Like the sliced bread thing is just funny, throw away the key is just dumb and silly - but "more than happy".... I mean that really really does hit my ear as sounding like a euphemism for a condition. That one isn't even a joke for me, that's just real

    Honestly, I'd be watching the guy reading a book. The guy with the machete has already stated his intentions for all to know, so if I'm already in the bar I know I'm safe. And if I was outside the bar I could most likely hear him, and know to stay outside the bar. But, seriously... Who goes to a noisy bar to read a book?
