A plank under the whole keel?

A CARPETED PLANK FROM IZZARD TO GIZZARD, W/ NO POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO SHARP METAL POINTS/EDGES(DON'T ASK ME...)

2. This quote has widely been reported as “gizzard to gizzard” but the “izzard” sounds clearly and purposefully enunciated to me:

“NASA boss of moon launch take 2” on _Best of Today_

It’s about 50 second in.

The recording will be available for about four more days.
