This phrase is popular in the midwest. Was surprised they hadn't heard it before

“Delta is for the birds” didn’t get enough appreciation

I'm from rural Texas and only old people said stuff like burr up your ass.
I always just assumed it was old people slang like "knee high to a grasshopper"

No, you must be from Miami if you are hearing knee high to a grasshopper.

It's bc I was the wrong Hispanic for Miami

I was thinking it was going to be some kind of folksy midwestern turn of phrase. Though how Mad Dog got a hold of it, I couldn't say. Maybe his son picked it up on the layover in Madison.

Could NOT believe Witty today...
That 'Ya alright?' greeting line is 100% intentional British appropriation, which is fine even if the gang doesn't give him shit for it, which they should.
"A burr up my fanny" means something slightly different in British speak and ought to have been a fall down laughing bit.

I remember someone made the joke during his roast that, “How bad was Dan the comedian that he had to become Larry the Cable guy?”
In that same vein, how crappy of an announcer was Witty that he had to become Chris Tottynham?
I’m not sure I can think of anything more cringe inducing than his phony English slang and speech pattern. I wonder if he’s under the impression that it will open doors for him down the road.

Agreed. There’s nothing more cringe than calling American Dollars ‘Quid’ when it’s slang for British Pounds.

THANK YOU. Always grinds my gears. Like calling Japanese yen a ruble.

l like "burr up your butt" better.
It has a certain assonance.

Can't confirm. From Missouri, never heard this.

I’m no longer surprised by what that entire group doesn’t know. If you added up their collective IQ’s, you might get to triple digits.

You’re surprised Dan hasn’t heard of something that’s popular outside of Miami?
“Only in Miami do you see roosters on front steps” Dan Lebatard
Only in Miami does liquid falling from the sky accumulate in underground storage areas
Steve Martin also

Proppin it!
I mean it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a midwest thing but i feel like I've heard that in pop culture hundreds of times
It’s also said up in Vermont and like southern Canada/upper New York
