It's Wednesday, February 28th, 2024.

The only real last day in February, from Peach Fish Productions,

It's the gist.

I'm Mike Pesca. Two great or at least influential Americans

shuffled off the stage today. One mortally and one just professionally.

Mitch McConnell has announced that he'll be stepping down. one just professionally.

Mitch McConnell has announced that he'll be stepping down in September.

And the comedian Richard Lewis was felled by a heart attack at the age of 76. I have always loved the comic stylings of Richard Lewis. I once saw

him play Westbury Music Fair in the round. Comedy in the round. It wouldn't seem to work, but it did when Richard Lewis was on stage.

Now the interesting thing about Richard Lewis is he claims to have invented, and this might

have even been referenced in an episode of

Kirby or enthusiasm of which he has been irregular. He claims to have invented the

idiom from hell. It was the car rental from hell. It was the airplane ride from hell.

And when he claims this to others, they would always express astonishment and give pushback.

But from what I understand, there aren't too many references to whatever being

from hell before Richard Lewis started saying it.

I just wish other phrases that are out there in the ether could attach themselves to a

specific person even if that's not true it would not it would be nice to have the

cultural explanation for where a lot of these phrases that don't seem to work for anyone that have just been imposed on us that we didn't ask for and from hell's better than all of that

But there are so many phrases that just crush us and we don't even know from whence they came right

There we need to figure out the Wuhan lab or the wet market of phrases like not so much after saying something saying but the

others not so much mich McConnell an influential leader who conservatives liked
