In this lighthearted and linguistically curious episode, Heath and Josh take listeners on a spontaneous dive into the weird and wonderful world of idioms, sayings, and their unexpected origins. Starting with well-known expressions like “bite the bullet,” “kick the bucket,” and “mad as a hatter,” they explore where these phrases came from and how they became embedded in everyday speech.

The episode keeps a casual and conversational pace as Heath and Josh bounce off each other's humor and stories. Along the way, they also:

• Reflect on phrases their parents and grandparents used
• Compare regional slang from across the U.S., especially Appalachian and Southern sayings
• Laugh over odd and lesser-known expressions that spark both confusion and fascination
• Discuss how language evolves, and how some idioms fade out over time

There’s no rigid format here. It’s just two friends letting curiosity and conversation lead the way through a rabbit hole of linguistic randomness.

Whether you're here for laughs, nostalgia, or some fun trivia, this episode is a great example of what makes Heath & Josh so entertaining: genuine chemistry, quirky banter, and a love for the strange things we say without thinking twice.
