Wow. What have we here?

It's a podcast.

Fun.

And what excitement we have today.

It's the Mike O'Mara Show with Mike O'Mara and Rob Spiwack.

Now, here's Mike.

One of the things that I have learned in my years on this planet that really makes it worth getting up every morning is that you can always learn something almost every day if you know what to look for.

And you can find things out. And that's exciting to me because you never know when an expression that's been used for a long time is true.

And I have an example of that today. That for years and years and years, if someone was faking an injury or someone

was not going to school, or someone was, you know, shirking their responsibility in some way,

it would be called playing possum. And, you know, and playing possum is the, or pretending you're,

you know, the classic example would be playing dead.

You know, you're playing pie.

He's not really dead.

Yeah, I think that's the actual definition.

You play dead so someone leaves you alone.

And today, I am proud, very, very proud to start the show with evidence that the expression playing possum does not require any kind of explanation whatsoever.

What it requires is a video.

And this to me is maybe one of the greatest videos I've seen in quite some time.

I've got a lot of recommendations for you on the show today.
