Borrowed Words 4

WEBVTT
00:00:14.079 --> 00:00:15.119
Hello everyone.
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:16.000
Hello.
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:17.199
I'm Sarah.
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:18.480
And I'm Cole.
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:25.280
And you're listening to Borrowed Words, an episode where we break down the etymology of words and phrases.
00:00:25.759 --> 00:00:27.600
Oh, some of these episodes.
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:28.559
Yes.
00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:35.119
I normally wait a few months in between to do these episodes because not that long ago.
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:35.759
Yeah.
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:40.799
I but I figured with the holidays, with the holiday season.
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.719
The worst time of the year.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.719
The best day of the year is December 26th.
00:00:47.279 --> 00:00:50.239
Because it's the furthest away from Christmas.
00:00:51.119 --> 00:01:00.799
I like the holidays because I like the energy that people have in in the good way, like how people are more giving and working in the service industry.
00:01:01.279 --> 00:01:02.320
I do see it.
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:03.599
It's a great time.
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:08.400
People tip more, they're nicer, they're feeling better, they are more sympathetic.
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.359
They ask what you're doing for the holidays and everything.
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:12.320
And it is nice.
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:17.760
There is, of course, a negative side to it with capitalism culture and all of that.
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.439
I do refuse to dive into that.
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:25.040
Every year I try to give less and less gifts, honestly.
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.640
And my family is pretty good.
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.480
Like we're normal about it.
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.880
Like maybe one gift to each person and focus more on the youngins, the kids.
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.439
But yeah, I like the holiday season.
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:36.160
I don't.
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:36.880
I don't mind it.
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:37.760
I like the lights.
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:38.880
I like the decor.
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.640
That's really what I like.
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:42.800
I loathe all of it.
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:43.359
Yeah.
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:44.800
I like the music.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:46.640
I hate it.
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:49.680
I wish I could just go into hibernation.
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.800
Barbara Streisand, her jingle bells.
00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:53.760
It's my favorite.
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:55.920
Mariah Carey.
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:57.200
Oh, I don't.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:57.840
I can't do that.
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:58.079
No.
00:01:58.800 --> 00:01:59.439
That's too much.
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.000
Barbara is my go-to Christmas album.
00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:04.800
I love it.
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:06.719
She switched it up.
00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:08.560
She didn't keep it traditional.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:16.719
Mark Lanigan had a Christmas record, but it was like six songs that you never think of as Christmas Carol.
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.120
I mean, they're like old, old like they're the ones that aren't popular.
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.640
You don't hear them like at fucking Target playing jingle bells.
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:35.680
They were like songs about women hiding their firstborn babies from King Herod on Christmas Eve so that sh kids aren't killed when Herod sent his troops to kill anyone the night that Jesus was allegedly born.
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.159
I've never, never heard of this.
00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:39.039
Wow.
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:39.439
No.
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.480
Can we listen to that?
00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:40.879
Yeah.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.000
Okay.
00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:43.039
All right.
00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:44.240
That sounds good to me.
00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:46.879
I'll bring Barbara and you bring what's his name again?
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:47.599
Lanigan.
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:48.240
Mark Lanigan.
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:49.280
Oh, Mark Lanigan.
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:49.599
I forgot.
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:50.400
I do.
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:51.920
I just forgot who you said.
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:52.560
Yeah.
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.640
So yeah, okay.
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.759
Because of the holiday season and how hectic it gets and weird and crazy.
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.280
There's a lot going on, a lot of visiting, a lot of driving, a lot of traveling.
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:07.360
I figured I would just throw one of these in there because they're easier, they're lighter.
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.120
I don't do as much research with them.
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.599
We're looser with our form here.
00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:15.599
I just wanted to ease myself through this season.
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.000
I'll probably do a Christmas one as well.
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.599
I just like it.
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:20.960
It's easy.
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:28.560
So the borrowed words we are going to look at today all pertain to drinking.
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:29.840
Oh, okay.
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.120
And I thought of this because this month we are celebrating Thanksgiving here in America.
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:36.159
Ironically.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.400
We all have thoughts about it, and I understand.
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:47.759
I always wonder if I know he was sincere because honest Abe, but when Abe created Thanksgiving in the midst of the Civil War, I'm like, was he being a little satirical?
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:48.159
Yeah.
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:50.080
It's time to give thanks.
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.120
As our brothers and sons are coming home with their limbs ripped off.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:55.599
Yeah.
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.920
Fighting people who want to own other people.
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:00.640
Right.
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:02.960
Let's be thankful for what?
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:03.680
Exactly.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.680
So in the spirit of that, I thought we would all drink.
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.960
Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.120
Thanksgiving always falls on a Thursday.
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.759
The Wednesday before is considered the biggest bar night of the year.
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.680
It's thought that because when people come home for Christmas, they need to be on their best behavior.
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.639
Christmas is more of a religious holiday.
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.160
And then on Easter, same thing, a religious holiday.
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.280
No one really wants to be drunk or hungover around grandma.
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.000
It's also the first time a lot of college students coming back home.
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.120
Oh, you're right.
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.480
They leave in late August, early September for college.
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.160
It's their first time back.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.399
So they're all coming together that that Wednesday night at the bar.
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:49.199
You're right.
00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:49.519
Yep.
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:50.639
That's also a factor.
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.040
Influences making it the busiest bar night.
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:53.439
Yes.
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.680
And it really is the busiest bar night of the year.
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.680
It is always hectic and crazy.
00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:05.280
So I wanted to honor that and do words and phrases that are within the drinking culture.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:06.240
All right.
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:11.439
We are starting with the phrase three sheets to the wind.
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:16.959
Use it in a sentence like, oh, she's three sheets to the wind.
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:17.920
She's so drunk.
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:18.800
She's falling over.
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.319
She's three sheets to the wind.
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:21.840
She's dancing on tables.
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.680
He might be dancing on tables.
00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:24.560
I don't know.
00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:27.600
Do you have any thoughts of where it might have come from?
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.759
Well, I'm picturing, I don't know how.
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.800
Let me work through this, but I'm picturing like linen hanging on a clothesline.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.920
Literally, like bed sheets on a clothesline in the wind blowing.
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:51.280
Maybe someone's stumbling drunk and stumbles through bed sheets that are hanging, and they're walking through like a ghost with like bedsheets just haphazardly hanging on them.
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:52.480
I like that.
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:53.360
That's my thought.
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.759
Like, oh, he's you know, walking through clotheslines.
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.199
The visual I have in my head is the first night of the living dead, the zombie walking through and just like he runs through a clothesline.
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:06.079
There's no sheets on it, but like and he angrily just like pulls it down because it's just in his way.
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:07.439
That's kind of what I'm picturing.
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:12.319
Like a stumble-down drunk stumbling into sheets being hanging.
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:13.680
Not a bad thought.
00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:16.560
It's not what it is, but that's not a bad thought.
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.079
I also thought like clothesline, like sheets hanging.
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.399
It's about ships when I was learning about this.
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.240
There are these sheets on ships that are not the sails.
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:28.959
Yeah.
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.000
They're actually ropes or chains.
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:32.399
Okay.
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.079
The ropes or chain are holding on to the sails.
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.560
They're they're tying the corners down.
00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:42.560
There's always three sheets that are tying the corners down.
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:53.040
If the ropes are loose and blowing about in the wind, then that means that the ship's sails will flap about and the boat will lurch and rock around like a drunken sailor.
00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:02.480
So you have the the original super original version was three sheets in the wind and not to the wind.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.639
But we say to the wind more now.
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:05.040
Yeah.
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.480
But originally was three sheets in the wind, and that kind of that makes more sense.
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.439
Imagine some chains flap flapping around in the wind or some ropes flying around.
00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:14.560
Gotcha.
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.079
I did not know that.
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:16.959
Yeah.
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:22.399
Well, after that, on Thursday morning, you're probably gonna have a hangover.
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.120
Oh, is that our second word of the day?
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:25.840
Yes.
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.439
If you do not know what a hangover is, lucky you.
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.399
It is a very awful feeling after you have had too much to drink the night before.
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:41.439
You probably have a headache, you're dehydrated, you're shaky, you're dizzy, you are maybe vomiting.
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:42.720
Who knows?
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:44.240
Maybe run into the bathroom.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:44.720
I don't know.
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.480
There's a lot of different ways to feel bad.
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.120
Yeah.
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.360
More ways to feel bad than there are to feel good.
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:49.600
Yes.
00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:51.439
What does that say about reality?
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:52.639
Anyway, sorry.
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.399
But drinking makes you forget.
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:55.280
Yeah.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:56.720
Drink to forget.
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.639
The anesthesia of reality.
00:07:58.879 --> 00:07:59.759
Oh god.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.040
So, yes, a very popular thought for hangover.
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:03.840
Oh, wait, sorry.
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.199
I didn't give you a chance to guess.
00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:07.840
Do you have a thought of where hangover comes from?
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:16.959
I always just took it literally as the alcohol or the effects of the previous day are hanging over into the current day.
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:18.000
Yes.
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.399
That that isn't what most yes.
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:21.439
Yeah, it just is what it is.
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:21.840
Yep.
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.600
But they it wasn't always referencing drinking, though.
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.040
It could mean anything, like my work is hanging over from yesterday.
00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:30.639
It could mean anything.
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:43.039
However, I did see that a lot of people think that it comes from the Victorian age in England, in London, in kind of the more slummy areas.
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:44.879
People would get drunk.
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.360
A lot of them, a lot of the sources I found reference sailors being drunk specifically.
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:53.360
I don't know why, but maybe I think they spent a lot of their money at the bars and saloons.
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:54.960
So, you know, servicemen.
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:55.679
Yeah.
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:06.080
And they would get drunk and they would go to these houses and they would rent a space to stand and hang on a line.
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:10.240
So like a rope would be hung from one wall to the other.
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.080
And you would just slabs of meat.
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:12.399
Yes.
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.279
Like a subway car, the thing you hold.
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.679
You would just stand and you would hang on to that.
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.519
And those did really exist.
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:28.480
Um, they would rent, they you would rent a little space for two pennies, and you would just hope that you don't fall down and you would just hold on to that rope.
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.639
So you would hang over the rope as you're drunk.
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:31.200
Okay.
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:37.919
There were quite a bit of people on one side of the fence that said, no, it's not from this.
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:43.120
And I couldn't really see anyone advocating that it was from this.
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:50.399
They just said we think it's from this, but then they read that the Oxford English Dictionary said that it was not this.
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:55.759
So I'm leaning towards no, I'm leaning towards it's from just hangover means to hang over.
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.720
And then we eventually used it for drinking.
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:08.240
But I did see that as we started using it as like a hangover from alcohol, it was around the same time as the Victorian era.
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:09.919
I mean, it was the same time frame.
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:20.320
So I I just wonder if maybe people associated it with drinking because of hanging over a rope.
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:20.799
Yeah.
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:25.039
But hangover was already used normally or regularly.
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:28.960
Yeah, so it's so two sources of maybe.
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:30.879
That's just what I want to believe.
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:32.480
I didn't see anyone say that.
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.679
I'm just putting two things together because I saw dates.
00:10:36.560 --> 00:10:38.399
Sounds like it could be accurate.
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:40.399
That's just what I'm thinking.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:50.560
If you have a hangover, in order to get rid of it, someone might tell you to have a little bit of the hair of the dog that bit you.
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:52.720
This is our next phrase.
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:53.279
Okay.
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.200
Do you know what this means?
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.639
Yeah, keep drinking.
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:57.120
Yeah.
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:57.600
Yeah.
00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:58.639
Have more alcohol.
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.639
The hair of the dog that bit you have more alcohol to cure that hangover.
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:02.960
Yeah.
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:08.240
I mean, I don't know when it started, but it I mean, the metaphor is pretty self-explanatory.
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.120
Like the dog bit you, and so you bite it back.
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:11.840
Keep going.
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:12.080
Yeah.
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.480
Yeah.
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.440
All it really does is delay the hangover, though.
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:16.720
I don't know.
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.399
I mean, it's medical professionals say this doesn't help.
00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:22.159
It it there's no way it does.
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:22.799
Why would it?
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:23.679
You're just adding more.
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:25.200
Yeah, it'll get you drunk again.
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.879
And then you stop feeling bad, I guess, because you're kind of numb.
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.840
You just it just delays the hangover.
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.720
Well, anyway, this isn't about if that works or not.
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.679
This is about the phrase hair of the dog that bit you.
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.480
Because I wanted to know why this was even said.
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.919
Like, did people get bitten by dogs at one point?
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:44.799
Like, what why?
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:45.440
Why a dog?
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.159
Why hair?
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:47.039
Why this?
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:58.399
And what I found was that it was advised if you get bitten by a dog, get some hair from that dog and put it in the wound, and that will help heal.
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:10.000
I mean, it's in the same, I guess, general, I mean, I'm being liberal with this, but in the same general wheelhouse of inoculation, I guess.
00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:27.600
There was also still some thought of um what I found to be called sympathetic magic as well at that time, where something could cause you harm if you have something of that person or it could help be better if you have something of that person or that thing.
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:35.679
So I don't know much about magic, but there's some magic that people still kind of thought at that time existed, and this helped.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:41.120
It's also a little homeopathic of like a little of the thing that hurts you will somehow make you better.
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:41.759
Yeah.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:42.320
Yeah.
00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:46.960
All of this started in like the Middle Ages, like the 14, 1500s.
00:12:47.039 --> 00:13:00.560
So we don't know exactly when it turned into an alcohol thing, but we know that it there is people way back when really did think getting hair from the dog that bit you would help cure you.
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:05.600
And of course, alcohol hurts, it can hurt the next day.
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.120
And so it just makes sense that they shift it over to that.
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:20.720
Whenever I have a hangover and I do follow that old cure of the hair of the dog that bit you, sometimes I decide to have a bloody Mary.
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:25.679
And I wanted to know where the name Bloody Mary came from.
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.240
I don't know exactly.
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:42.879
I know, I mean, I before the drink, obviously, I heard of the like childhood game of, you know, you go be in front of a dark mirror and you say Bloody Mary however many times, and you know, you'll see a ghostly figure in the mirror, allegedly.
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:43.440
Oh yeah.
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:47.840
That's yeah, I think it was some myth figure, you know, some ghost story.
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.000
Bloody Mary killed someone.
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:50.639
I don't know.
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:51.360
That's all I know.
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:55.200
And I assume the drink is called that because it looks like blood.
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:56.320
Kind of.
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.200
Oh, it has nothing to do with the scary Bloody Mary in the mirror thing.
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.480
This is this is separate, but it does have to do with blood.
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:05.200
Okay.
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.440
So we're starting back in Paris in the 1920s.
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.960
There's a bar called Harry's New York Bar.
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:32.879
This must have been with like the lost generation of Hinway and Stein and Fitzgerald and Harry's opened in 1911 after an American jockey had a New York bar dismantled and shipped to Paris.
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:33.200
Oh.
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.120
I thought that was so interesting.
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:35.840
So yeah.
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:37.759
Turn for the Statue of Liberty.
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:38.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:38.799
Yeah.
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:40.000
That's how we should return it.
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:41.039
No, that's what we could say.
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:41.840
That's the exchange.
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.840
Like the Statue of Liberty, we gave them a New York bar.
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:46.560
Yeah, okay.
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:52.560
Well, the New York style bar became an American destination during the prohibition era.
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:58.960
And then around 1920, people who escaped the Russian Revolution arrived in Paris bringing vodka with them.
00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.279
Okay.
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:00.399
So we're getting this.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:00.960
It's right.
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:02.320
You know, it's starting to happen.
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:05.279
There was bartender.
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.480
We're gonna call him Pete because that's what he goes by, but it's a French name.
00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:10.799
I don't want to try to say, but Pete.
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:26.560
And he's a bartender at Harry's, and he doesn't know what to do with this tasteless vodka, but he also is seeing this new, not new, but like newer-ish, kind of cool ketchup um tomato sauce, not ketchup, but like a tomato sauce.
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:34.320
And he decided to zhuz it up, add some things, do a little this, do a little that, and then add the vodka, and lo and behold, we have a bloody Mary.
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:39.600
I like that you described vodka as tasteless because I've always been like, it is tasteless.
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:41.679
And people are like, I love the taste of vodka.
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:43.679
I'm like, I don't think you like to drink.
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:48.799
There's a reason like teenage girls like vodka the most because it doesn't taste like anything.
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.360
It's like when old men are like, Oh, vodka is so great.
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.080
I'm like, okay, have a daiquiri.
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:54.639
Yeah.
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.200
It's wait a minute, daiquiri's not cut that.
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:58.639
That's not the right no.
00:15:58.879 --> 00:15:59.039
Yeah.
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.799
Daiquai's rum.
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:01.039
Yeah.
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:01.200
Yeah.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:02.320
I'll cut that, don't worry.
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:02.879
No.
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:03.279
Yeah.
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.919
Um, yeah, I I do think for me, vodka does have a taste.
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.560
I don't like it, but I know that it's meant to be tasteless, and most people don't taste it.
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:17.360
Like it's not, it is meant to blend in with drinks, and yeah, I I just don't like the taste of it.
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:23.759
Yeah, it's like on all the dumb rankings of the the taste, the blind, you know, Pepsi challenge for vodka.
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:25.200
I'm like, it all tastes like nothing.
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.399
It all tastes like nothing.
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.639
The point of vodka is to taste like nothing.
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.039
So the best vodka should be tasteless.
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:32.639
So yeah.
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.960
Anyway, moving on, Pete would end up moving to America.
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.440
I think he moved to New York, and he would bring the Bloody Mary drink with him.
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.440
He didn't have the name Bloody Mary, though.
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:45.200
He actually called it Red Snapper.
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.159
Okay.
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:46.799
Yeah.
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:57.600
So then the story goes that it started to be called Bloody Mary after Queen Mary Tudor and her bloody reign against the Protestants in England in the 1500s.
00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:58.480
Okay.
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:00.799
Yeah, because it looks like blood.
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:01.519
All right.
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:01.840
Yeah.
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:10.319
It seems like a stretch that an American audience would care so much about an antiquated war in another country to name a I don't know.
00:17:10.639 --> 00:17:11.119
I don't know.
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:11.599
Yes.
00:17:11.679 --> 00:17:12.480
I I'm not sure.
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:17.519
There there's there's multiple theories of where the name Bloody Mary comes from.
00:17:17.679 --> 00:17:23.279
The most popular is the Queen, Bloody Mary, which I think is probably just because it's fun.
00:17:23.439 --> 00:17:23.599
Yeah.
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:25.119
Like I don't I don't really know.
00:17:25.439 --> 00:17:30.000
This is the final theory that I found of where the name Bloody Mary came from.
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.239
And I I want it to be this.
00:17:32.399 --> 00:17:33.119
This is what I want.
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:33.519
Okay.
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:33.919
Yeah.
00:17:34.159 --> 00:17:52.239
There was an ad in the 1930s, in the 1930s, that claimed the drink Bloody Mary was named after a friend of an entertainer, and the friend's name was Mary, and Mary worked at a saloon bar called The Bucket of Blood in Chicago.
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:52.879
Okay.
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.679
And I did not look up to verify if the Bucket of Blood is an actual bar or not.
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.319
I don't know for sure because I want this to be true.
00:18:00.719 --> 00:18:05.439
I've heard it referenced historically, like in songs of the era.
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:05.759
Okay.
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:06.959
So it makes sense.
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:08.559
So yeah.
00:18:08.719 --> 00:18:08.879
Yeah.
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:13.759
It sounds like yeah, I've heard it referenced in songs and literature.
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:15.279
Yeah, so I want it to be true.
00:18:15.439 --> 00:18:15.679
Yeah.
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:16.159
Yeah.
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:19.199
So that's what I want it to be called.
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.279
I I were that's where I want it to be from.
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:28.879
It's from the bucket of blood, and some entertainer wanted his friend Mary to be named after this.
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:29.599
Yeah.
00:18:30.639 --> 00:18:31.519
I love it.
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:33.759
So and that's all I have.
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:35.199
I just wanted to kind of do a few.
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:36.319
Oh, there's not.
00:18:36.479 --> 00:18:37.359
No, that's it.
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:37.839
Okay.
00:18:38.159 --> 00:18:39.919
These are only like 20 or 30 minutes.
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:40.239
Yeah.
00:18:40.399 --> 00:18:40.639
Yeah.
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:41.839
Yeah.
00:18:41.919 --> 00:18:42.399
That's it.
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:42.879
All right.
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.199
Just a nice quick one, something easy.
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.039
I am going to release this one on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:50.399
So I thought it'd be kind of fun.
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.439
Isn't is this week Thanksgiving?
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:54.079
No.
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.239
Thanksgiving is on the 27th this year.
00:18:58.479 --> 00:18:59.199
Oh, okay.
00:18:59.679 --> 00:19:04.799
It's the third Thursday, but it's also the last Thursday of Jimi Hendrix's death day.
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:05.279
Right?
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:06.319
Is it the last one?
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.199
It's always the last or fourth Thursday.
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:10.319
Is it the fourth or third?
00:19:10.959 --> 00:19:11.599
Fourth.
00:19:12.399 --> 00:19:13.119
I believe.
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.039
It is on November 27th.
00:19:15.439 --> 00:19:16.319
That's always the fourth Thursday.
00:19:16.719 --> 00:19:17.039
Damn it.
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:17.359
Okay.
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.079
Yeah.
00:19:18.399 --> 00:19:19.279
Why would I think that?
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:19.839
I don't know.
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:20.399
That's weird.
00:19:20.479 --> 00:19:21.439
Okay, the fourth third, whatever.
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.639
It's Hendrix's birth date this year, not death date.
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:25.679
I said that earlier.
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:31.919
But yes, I wanted to do some bar highlights on the night before Thanksgiving.
00:19:32.159 --> 00:19:33.919
Hope everyone has fun out there.
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:39.279
Um, I will not be going out as my feet are still broken from my surgery.
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:40.959
So that's fun.
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:42.000
I get to miss that.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.359
She's on the mend.
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:44.479
I'm getting better.
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:45.519
It's not so bad.
00:19:45.679 --> 00:19:50.559
But yeah, like, follow, check us out on Instagram, all the things.
00:19:50.719 --> 00:19:51.519
So yeah.
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.279
Happy holidays, maybe.
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:55.359
Have the holiday you voted for.
00:19:56.159 --> 00:19:56.479
What?
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.119
I don't know.
00:19:57.199 --> 00:19:59.359
That's just what I my response to everyone today.
00:20:00.239 --> 00:20:01.839
In general, about like what do you do with the holiday?
00:20:01.919 --> 00:20:09.519
Because I'm expecting family to be starting inviting us to things and that's just me or my response to anyone who invites me to something.
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:10.159
Okay.
00:20:10.399 --> 00:20:10.719
Yeah.
00:20:11.439 --> 00:20:11.839
Yeah.
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.119
So bye.
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:13.759
Bye.
