At the 6:15 mark, John Irvin states "I said don't throw me in the briar patch but I don't think they took my reference". The phrase "don't throw me in the briar patch" is a phrase used by Br'er Rabbit in the Uncel Remus stories. The phrase is meant as "don't put me somewhere I would be safe" or "don't make me do something I actually want to do".
