Stage+Weight

A phrase taught to Davo by Monte Hall when working on the "Let's Make A Deal" show.

The metaphor of a stage weight suggests it takes away from the main narrative you're really trying to strike at. A stage weight should be removed because it just weighs down the stage (i.e. it's of no use).

Used in the 1/7/2014 pod when talking about how the FA Cup has now become a distraction from the "great" narratives of the Premier League and forces us to focus on new narratives that have nothing to do with the main story we're interested in.
