T.J. Holmes 2:36
Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, July 30th. And sure, we've all heard of Taco Tuesday. But oh no, move over, Taco Tuesday. Say hello to Wiener Wednesday. Something Robes and I just found out about. Thanks. to the mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Wiener Wednesday comes along with the sexual harassment investigation. This is a weird story.
Amy Robach 3:05
It is wild. Look, Wednesday, funny enough, I always thought was slightly sexualized because the only way I've heard it described as hump day. And that obviously can mean a lot of things. So yes, a hump in the middle of the week, but people have had fun with it.
T.J. Holmes 3:19
A sexual thing.
Amy Robach 3:19
Oh, I feel like people always make the insinuation or the double entendre. I'm learning a lot. So Wednesday has already been a sexualized day, I feel like, but I have never heard it put like that before. Never in my life have I ever heard anybody refer to Wednesday as Wiener Wednesday.
T.J. Holmes 3:38
So yes, apparently yesterday was Wiener Wednesday. Now... If you've already heard of it, yes, it actually does mean something similar to Taco Tuesday. It's a food promotion, right? That's all it is. Restaurants on Wednesdays sell hot dogs and hot dog stands. Sometimes they do a little promotion. They have fun on social media, just like they do on Taco Tuesday. But like you said, Robes, Taco Tuesday even has taken on different meaning.
