Throw Another Shrimp on the Barbie

[00:00] Hey guys, real quick, one more bonus stat before we move on.
[00:04] Bonus stats.
[00:05] I was on the NBA subreddit at the top post right now.
[00:10] That's a Kimball one.
[00:12] But the random NBA fact, Tim Duncan, his regular season winning percentage is 72%.
[00:19] And right now, this year, the LA Lakers, their team freed their percentage is 69%.
[00:25] So it's more likely that Tim Duncan would win a basketball game than the Lakers are to make
[00:31] a free throw.
[00:37] It's fantastic.
[00:38] That's really good.
[00:39] I love it.
[00:40] Shout out.
[00:42] All right, so two more topics here.
[00:50] One is the under Googles, Coalson, you have one for our post holiday haze.
[00:56] Yeah, I do.
[00:59] This is a shout out to a fan of the show, Jennifer Drinkwater's lovely husband, Aaron.
[01:08] Shout out.
[01:09] Been listening to the show, I think, because Drinkwater's been painting with it in the
[01:13] background and he's fallen in love with the under Googles.
[01:17] And he wanted us to answer a couple of questions for him.
[01:21] His question was the history of the phrase, throw the baby out with the bathwater.
[01:30] And I feel like on some level, it's kind of straight up.
[01:34] But I don't know when it came about and whether people actually threw out babies with
[01:39] bathwater.
[01:40] What do we got?
[01:45] I think at the time that people actually just threw out babies, like back in Greek times,
[01:50] they didn't bother using bathwater to disguise the event.
[01:55] They just chucked him out the window.
[01:57] That was just straight up Austraica.
[01:59] That was ostracism.
[02:02] So I'm going to go with Oscar Wilde.
[02:09] It's never been Oscar Wilde, but I've always wanted to be Oscar Wilde.
[02:12] Why has it never been Oscar Wilde?
[02:13] I feel like it should always be Oscar Wilde.
[02:16] Maybe Mark Twain.
[02:17] I don't know.
[02:18] Yeah, I mean, yeah, this is like a southern folksy kind of saying.
[02:22] Is that what you think?
[02:24] I think it's, yeah, I think it's southern part of America.
[02:27] Yeah.
[02:28] And it's like a, you know, what was that Wayne's World thing?
[02:33] If a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass when it hopped, or like basically two circles
[02:41] and we would always watch on election night.
[02:47] Dan Rather?
[02:48] Was it Dan Rather?
[02:49] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[02:50] The folksy-ism sort of thing.
[02:52] If a frog had pockets, he'd carry a handgun or something like that.
[02:57] Sure.
[02:58] Yeah.
[02:59] That was a Dan Rather saying, I'm pretty sure.
[03:04] I'm going Victorian, uh, Victorian England, I think.
[03:08] Oh, okay.
[03:09] See, I like that.
[03:10] I don't feel Englishy because I'm with you.
[03:14] So I'm sticking with Oscar Wilde, but I don't think it was, you know.
[03:17] So, okay.
[03:18] So the meaning of the phrase is don't get rid of a good idea, right?
[03:24] Because it's surrounded in filth, right?
[03:32] Is that a good?
[03:33] I don't know if that's a very succinct definition of that.
[03:36] I always think of this, you know, you've got like something good in with something bad
[03:41] and you want to get rid of the bad thing, but you don't want to get rid of the good thing
[03:44] too.
[03:45] Right.
[03:46] Just because don't scrap the whole endeavor because some parts of it aren't perfect.
[03:49] Exactly.
[03:50] So like, for instance, uh, Obamacare and the mandate, right?
[03:55] You don't want to get rid of all of Obamacare because of the individual mandate, for instance.
[04:00] Right.
[04:01] Well, maybe you don't.
[04:02] Or me, I guess, but you know what?
[04:04] Helping poor people is for communist.
[04:08] It's America.
[04:10] Okay.
[04:13] So, okay.
[04:14] I'm I was thinking like medieval times when I like to say medieval.
[04:24] I feel like we couldn't afford our babies that babies are expensive.
[04:30] Babies are expensive.
[04:31] It was an actual baby tossing.
[04:33] Yeah.
[04:34] I just think it was like, hey, look, I'm like a Scottish sport baby.
[04:38] I'm washing my baby and while I wash my baby, I'm thinking about how much baby this this
[04:42] cost me.
[04:43] Really?
[04:44] I can't really afford it and I just sort of dumped the whole thing out the window.
[04:49] That's it's a financial decision.
[04:52] Really?
[04:53] Uh, they had windows in medieval England in the medieval Europe.
[04:58] That's what I'm going with.
[04:59] Yes.
[05:00] Many windows in middle medieval Europe.
[05:02] Yeah.
[05:03] Dump them out of castle windows.
[05:07] Okay.
[05:08] They're, uh, right on the medieval era, medieval.
[05:14] The earliest record of the phrase, uh, is in 1512 in Narenbeshwarung, uh, it means appeal
[05:27] to fools by Thomas Murner.
[05:30] Yeah.
[05:31] That actually, this does feel very German now that I think about it.
[05:35] Probably we should have hit on that.
[05:36] The Germans say, you must empty out the bathtub, but not the baby along with it.
[05:42] That's very German.
[05:45] That's great.
[05:46] Do they have a single word to describe that?
[05:49] Yeah, no doubt.
[05:51] Offen schläger ninnerssen.
[05:54] It's a daskind mit dim bade auchtuten.
[05:58] Yeah.
[06:01] So you must dump the dirty bathwater, but not the baby in it.
[06:05] But you must keep the baby.
[06:06] Right.
[06:07] You must keep the baby.
[06:09] Keep the baby for me to poop on.
[06:11] I don't know.
[06:13] My German accent is the same as every other accent.
[06:18] It's all.
[06:19] It's all.
[06:20] Was that, uh, who was, uh, triumphant Cleveland coach, David, David black, the Russian coach,
[06:28] you mean?
[06:29] I wanted to say David Blaine, but that's wrong.
[06:31] That's a different joke.
[06:32] Although same accent funny.
[06:36] All of my accents are the same.
[06:38] So, um, I've decided that, um, I, I listened to a podcast where the guys are Australian
[06:46] and I'm going to start, I think just doing an Australian accent because it's very entertaining
[06:49] to listen to.
[06:50] Um, and so I was, I was practicing in the mirror and Kyle was like, why are you doing
[06:55] the triumph?
[06:56] The insult dog accent.
[06:58] Can I, can I hear throw another shrimp on the Barbie in a Russian accent?
[07:08] Throw another, throw another shrimp on the Barbie.
[07:22] You communist bastards.
[07:27] You know, when, when black was gone, I was hoping that you would do a, uh, can you do
[07:31] a tie law or tie, tie, tie, tie, Lou, tie, Lou, Hey, hey, LeBron, hey, hey, LeBron.
[07:42] Here's my plan.
[07:43] I need you to, uh, I coach the team.
[07:46] Thank you.
[07:47] I'll be in the, I'll be in the back to get a nap.
[07:51] That's my time.
[07:52] Meet me on the bus.
[07:56] That was also your David, David black too.
[07:58] Yeah.
[07:59] It's my accent.
[08:02] Well in fairness to Coalson, he couldn't tell the coaching styles apart.
[08:05] So well, cause LeBron was coaching the whole time.
[08:10] Exactly.
[08:11] Now.
[08:12] Uh, so I'm sorry.
[08:13] We interrupt.
[08:14] I don't know what happened.
[08:15] Where, where, where were we?
[08:16] It was Germany.
[08:17] Germany.
[08:18] It's German.
[08:19] It's German.
[08:20] It's German.
[08:21] There's a great, um, so it's in this book, Naren Beshwarung, uh, which means appeal
[08:27] to fools.
[08:28] And there's a great wood cutting of, uh, it's a picture of a woman tossing out a basket,
[08:35] uh, a bathtub with the water and the baby.
[08:39] So do you think she, she, she was just distracted and then the Germans had to make a saying
[08:44] out of it because they're super anal.
[08:46] Uh, I doubt it.
[08:51] No, the Germans never wait for something bad to happen.
[08:54] They anticipate it.
[08:55] I do like, I, I feel like I'll feel differently about the saying now because I'll
[09:01] always hear it in the German.
[09:04] Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
[09:06] I'll always, I can't remember her name, but I'll always hear it in, uh, Austin powers.
[09:12] What was the German ladies?
[09:15] I'll always hear it in her accent.
[09:17] Oh yeah.
[09:18] Oh man.
[09:19] How are we still doing this show?
[09:20] We got, we got one last thing to talk about.
[09:31] Are we still recording this?
