Calling your dad " my old man" is definitely prevalent in the Midwest in America

What an insanely gifted physical comedy actor Ty Burrell is. Too bad he seems to have retired from acting, Wiki says he's moved to Salt Lake City and hardly mentions anything he's been in this decade. Don't think you picked up on the quite raunchy joke of the little boy opening a gift of a Robert Mapplethorpe book, who was famous for his gay-oriented male nude photography. The 'Bing' mentioned in the Perry Como joke is Bing Crosby, of 'White Christmas' fame, so another famous crooner of Jay's generation.

Title is a nod to Hemingways classic novel ‘Old Man and the Sea’ (A lot of the titles pay homage to past pop culture in some way, so if you don’t get it, it’s a safe assumption that it might be a reference)

The actual phrase is, "house guests are like fish, they start to stink after 3 days."
