Three Snorts To the Wind

[00:01] Coalson, I think it's time. We had a lot of numbers and a lot of names in the first half
[00:08] What we're done with that we need we need
[00:11] Real we need the real stuff. We need the real research that you all can only get from the under Googles
[00:32] Super excited
[00:34] In the end it's gonna be better and more true than Google can give you we got for us this week
[00:48] So shout out to the starters
[00:51] If you guys don't listen to this
[00:55] Go subscribe on your iTunes right now
[00:59] They back in the day were the the basketball Jones and
[01:05] Back before we even podcasted they were just three guys in their kitchen recording stuff about Raptors basketball and
[01:14] Talk me through lots of long board days and
[01:19] Our fantastic folks they're now
[01:22] You know are famous and they're on
[01:26] NBA TV if you're subscribed to their podcast
[01:29] You have to listen to a lot of their TV shows, which is kind of doesn't necessarily translate, but listen to their Tuesday show
[01:36] The Twitter show and the Friday the drop
[01:39] It's it's very similar to what we do, but more professional so but check it out there way better
[01:45] So check that out don't stop from your own show
[01:50] Integrating what we do here
[01:53] Very similar is the way I would phrase it
[01:56] They yeah, we are
[01:59] We have our own charm, but listen to them, and it doesn't interrupt what we do. They're on different days
[02:05] Also, you said long board days. I didn't know you were skater. I was
[02:14] Drop I
[02:17] Yeah, no I did I skated I
[02:20] Fell a lot, but whatever
[02:25] So they they took a
[02:28] question from the listeners about shooting the lights out
[02:31] Yeah, and they responded very similarly to the way that we do with the under Google Bowls. They all took
[02:39] Their stab at what that meant
[02:42] Some good guesses you know
[02:44] The guy is shooting so hot that we're just gonna trump the lights everything go home
[02:50] If the lights were shot out he could still hit the shots in the dark, and then they googled it and apparently it was
[02:58] an Old West reference where gunslingers could shoot out the wicks of a candle and that was
[03:06] reference to their accuracy
[03:08] so really fun kind of
[03:11] They attempted sort of an ungulable
[03:15] Without
[03:18] precursor to a lawsuit is
[03:21] Well, they didn't steal our segment exactly because it came from a question from
[03:25] The
[03:27] Listeners and and that reminded me of a question we did last year or two years ago
[03:33] Where somebody asked us what a dime was how dime was an assist very great question, right?
[03:39] which we all sort of you know guessed on what it was and we ended up coming up with the
[03:46] We ended up googling it
[03:49] essentially and coming up with the fact that
[03:51] A dime was what you dropped in the phone to call the cops
[03:57] The snitch which was an assist to the cops
[04:01] and the first person to ever put it on
[04:05] live television was our
[04:08] Local Clark Kellogg even though it was a term on the basketball court long before but I've got an actual question then
[04:15] the question is
[04:18] What is the phrase three sheets to the wind?
[04:21] It's a sailing term
[04:25] Sailing term, okay
[04:28] It means that you've got your book pointed in the wrong direction because you're drunk and you're sailing
[04:34] Drunk sailing not well
[04:37] So do we have
[04:39] Is it three sales?
[04:42] Well a sales called a sheet. Yeah, okay
[04:45] That's that's what I assumed that it always man. I could be wrong. I
[04:49] Was assumed it was like laundry
[04:51] Don't turn like drunk laundry. Yeah, yeah like on the on the line, you know the outdoor line there's sheets
[05:00] Yeah, no a sale is also if you're a sailor a sale is called a sheet
[05:07] Hmm, so three sheets why why three though?
[05:12] It is because your standard
[05:15] That's all
[05:16] Yield schooner has three sales
[05:19] Actually, I've got I think one sheet to the wind was probably a phrase at one point. I assume that that's the case
[05:27] Wow, why would you assume that because I assume that there's a level levels of drinking. Okay
[05:34] So we should we should always interpret how drunk we are by the number of sheets we have yeah
[05:39] And also her brother, which you can't make you go forward. Well, no, no see Harper. I'm disagreeing with I'm about a sheet and a half to the
[05:47] Because the phrases the phrase isn't three sheets against the wind
[05:52] Because that would make sense. That means your boat is flailing because it didn't have the
[05:57] Is that what three sheets to the wind means? Well, it's not in the wind if two is heading towards, right?
[06:04] And if you're trying to sail forward and you're right behind
[06:08] Okay, that may not all right. Well, but again, I'm with you. I don't know that this is true
[06:12] I just always assume well, no, that's why we do things under Googleable
[06:17] We do it without googling them first
[06:20] so
[06:21] If you've got three full sheets to the wind and they're not
[06:26] So they're the opposite of the wind going your direction your your boats flailing and therefore you're a drunk person. I
[06:33] Yeah, okay, so sorry I'd started googling. Oh man
[06:39] It's it's not so much where the sheet is facing it's that the sheet has become untaught
[06:46] So you you have to tie the sheet the sail right down to a right
[06:51] And if you were too drunk to remember to actually secure the sail
[06:55] Yeah, then it's just flapping in the wind things won't go so the sailors are too drunk
[07:02] Sure, too drunk to
[07:06] Coalson you'll enjoy this. There's also a band called three sheets to the wind. Oh nice
[07:11] What's Coalson in that band? It's yacht rock, of course
[07:20] That genre now, you know, oh, yeah, there's totally that you never heard of yacht rock I have not I'm a land lover
[07:29] Yeah, you're Indiana boy, you gotta get out in the end. Well, no, we've got the hang out with people that
[07:37] Indiana yeah, it's the yacht club not far from here. Hey for people who are actually have a little culture
[07:46] It's called a yatch it
[07:48] Okay here look you look at this I'm totally right tipsy was just one sheet in the wind or a sheet in the wind
[07:57] and
[07:59] Example appears in the novel the Fisher's Daughter by Catherine Ward in 1824, huh? Look yeah, we've all read that John
[08:09] We just assumed that was a given
[08:12] Oh Treasure Island, ooh, we've all read that though
[08:20] Maybe you think we were all a sheet in the wind's eye, but I'll tell you I was sober
[08:27] So you're right. It's sailing term
[08:30] So you're saying sheet is a sail. Is that what you're saying?
[08:33] Yeah, she does a sail. It's one of the sound terms. That's a they they've got they've got weird terms for everything
[08:40] Okay, well people do what they're saying is a sheet is a rope that controls the sail sure
[08:48] Okay a sheet that is in the wind has come loose from its mooring and is flapping in the wind like a flag
[08:55] Yeah
[08:57] I don't actually say also a sail is said to be sheeted to the wind
[09:01] When it is back when it is set to backfill
[09:05] Which is the opposite of what it's supposed to do
[09:10] All right, there you go until next time you can find us on Twitter we are at under beatables

[09:39] The parties over
[09:44] Hmm was pleasant yes
[09:48] We would you consider that yacht rock?
[09:54] No, we're not okay
[09:58] Now I'm gonna spend the rest of my night looking up you like yacht rock. Yeah, I don't know what that means
[10:04] according to
[10:05] The three sheets to the wind website. It's a am gold classics from the 70s and 80s
[10:12] Undoubtedly the smoothest music ever created by mankind
[10:17] That's pretty confident
[10:19] So I mean you don't just you know drive a yacht around without some conference
[10:26] So that's nothing or without smooth rock apparently
[10:32] Is this something that you want to listen to while you're on the yacht or
[10:36] performer, okay, I
[10:37] Guess I don't I don't have that state of mind right now
[10:42] Yeah, I've known you a while Joey
[10:44] I don't think you've ever had the state of mind where you were gonna be really into yacht rock and we consider that
[10:49] And that's why you are my friend
[10:53] Well, I at least want to listen to some to just to know what it is, you know, so if I find myself on a yacht
[10:59] It's like what you know
[11:02] It's I mean, I guess classic rock but more poppy kind of you know
[11:08] Okay, was this you have to wear boat shoes when you listen like journey
[11:13] And that kind of stuff. Yeah, it's ready. It's okay. Okay. Mm-hmm. Okay
[11:23] Well, I just want to make sure that if I'm you know, I'm on a yacht
[11:26] I can at least participate in a conversation about right. Sure. You just want to be a part of the culture sure
[11:32] Sure, you know, so I just want to sound reasonably intelligent
[11:36] And and I mean I know that yeah if you're on a yacht the most reasonable way to sound intelligent start talking about yacht rock
[11:43] Don't
[11:45] Everyone knows what that is. I'm embarrassed to admit this but I've never been on a yacht
[11:52] Hmm again, don't think you should be embarrassed about that. I've been on boats though
[11:56] I like one of the things we like about you. I like boating
[11:59] No, so do I?
[12:02] And actually have been on a yacht. It's it was pretty overrated. You're not allowed to touch anything. Oh, yeah
[12:08] I don't think I've been on a yacht either
[12:12] I've seen the odds though. I've been in
[12:16] Marina's and well, I I used to live in Seattle. I've seen some stupid yachts. Sure. Yeah, got like Microsoft yachts out there
[12:24] Yeah, like 250 foot yachts like Oh, yeah, Jesus. Is that a scooter?
[12:32] Yeah, these guys don't have sales
[12:34] They've got a champion tree sheets to the wind then. Oh, yeah, they can how do you even get drunk on a yacht with no sales?
[12:42] They just snort coke. They don't
[12:49] Three snorts to the wind
[12:53] Name of the show. Three rails to the wind
[13:00] Man, fun team. Yeah, if you got a coke you don't want a bunch of wind around right like it's gonna go
[13:05] No, no, not a lot of wind
[13:08] Coke is an indoor drug
[13:14] There's no like yeah, there's no like sport like watching coke is trying to cook
