Bulging Vessel

[00:00] Oh, we do under Google rules that was the player super excited told us we had to
[00:12] we said we signed up for it in the end it's gonna be better and more true than
[00:21] Google can give you so dad asked us the other day and I thought it was pretty
[00:27] good and I didn't Google it because I've got to talk to you guys dad doesn't know
[00:33] the answer yet either he's waiting patiently for us to give him the answer do
[00:39] you know it's patiently or are you just oh you could be super pissed but he's not
[00:42] so that's the thing you know you particularly these days you call up any
[00:47] service or any company and they just say thank you for your patience like before
[00:52] even it doesn't matter how impatient you are how angry you are and that makes me
[00:56] madder when I pick up my cell phone I say thanks for holding anyway I digress
[01:08] yes me today where does bought the farm come from the phrase bought the farm that
[01:16] means somebody has died right kicks the bucket or died right actually that's a
[01:26] kick the buckets a good one too so I'd like a two-fer I like a two-fer I just
[01:31] yeah I want to bought the farm and kick the bucket why are those death let's
[01:36] start with bought the farm let's just let's just try to make it cleaner and
[01:40] easier let's start with that one then we'll try to guess to kick the bucket
[01:42] one so is this is this a long lines of a when he when you put a dog to sleep and
[01:53] you the the euphemism is that you send it to a farm upstate upstate yep so that
[02:01] was what talk about people it's they bought their farm they bought their bit
[02:05] of land in heaven ooh they're a bit of land in heaven okay I like maybe I
[02:13] don't know no I like that a lot I had something darker in mind like it used to
[02:18] be that in this country like the founding fathers were very interested in not being
[02:22] able to pass on a lot of money to your kids mm-hmm right so likely if you died
[02:29] in on a bunch of real estate that would get sold out from under you
[02:32] immediately when you died okay I went immediately to a much darker place I
[02:37] like yours so when you die somebody else's by that's somebody bought your
[02:42] farm that means you kicked the bucket okay I like that because I was
[02:48] disappointed in myself that my vision of heaven was land ownership and also
[02:56] farming that's a lot of work yeah but it's easy you know what oh in heaven it's
[03:03] easy I would have it okay yeah it's like take care of themselves and have yeah
[03:08] and then you know crap gold the cows farm animals and stuff my dad's theory was
[03:16] which I thought wasn't bad was that wartime guys we're gonna once they got
[03:25] out of the war their plan was to go you know buy a farm and start a family sure
[03:30] and so when they died that maybe it became a euphemism yeah he went
[03:36] ahead and bought that farm yeah yeah that's which I thought was a pretty good
[03:39] guess I really like that a lot yeah I do like that so I don't know if that's the
[03:45] right answer he doesn't know he's waiting on us but Joey Joey what do you
[03:50] think the way so explain that again so like you're saying like like so like if
[03:55] you're if you went off to war and you're like when I get back to the states you
[03:59] know I'm gonna buy that farm and marry that girl and live that life and so it
[04:04] sort of became a euphemism when they died that you know when somebody died
[04:07] in war that their their comrades would be like oh well he went ahead and bought
[04:11] that farm not dissimilar to Jason's right really right which is he's get to
[04:19] he gets to now go to that farm in the sky I mean let's face it guys if guys
[04:24] not a capitalist do any of us want to go to heaven okay that was just for Charlie
[04:52] this one this one I think needs some context in what sense I mean just like you
[05:00] know I don't know how you know I don't think the the phrase itself leads itself
[05:07] to it seemingly there's very little connecting the the meaning to the phrase
[05:17] you know well okay so we have a couple clues one is death and two is farming so
[05:25] Mesopotamia is a good place to start probably from you who's buying farms the
[05:33] other thing is sort of akin to the the soldier that wants to buy the farm when he
[05:38] gets back you know a fair amount of agrarian culture in the world is like
[05:48] not indentured servitude that's not the right word but um like share cropping or
[05:56] something like that where the idea was that you would work the land and
[05:59] eventually you would pay off your debt and you would get the land or something
[06:03] like that being the end the end goal at some level and if you died early then
[06:09] that's you know whatever I'm also trying to think of weird financial
[06:13] mechanisms which may mean that like you're more or less indebted by
[06:19] actually dying actually yeah okay so if you die and that somehow gets you a
[06:25] burst of money like with insurance and then your kids can have the farm like
[06:30] your death actually bought the farm ah okay yeah because of it basically you
[06:36] it's your you spent your entire life in dentured servitude or yeah share
[06:40] cropping so what you tell me is entire phrase is based on insurance fraud yes oh
[06:51] yeah yeah Jimmy bought the phone well let's let's work on the other one for a
[07:01] second let's think about kick the bucket okay came from cartoons bucket you break
[07:10] your neck you die I mean it's yeah for sure that 1000% he's already got it he's
[07:17] done so so in a cartoon if you kick a bucket it's like a banana peel thing oh
[07:22] yeah okay oh yeah are you like stepping on rakes and stuff oh yeah running into
[07:29] the the canyon wall but painted the highway going through it how is the road
[07:41] runner not gotten off or not got in charge with at least manslaughter you know
[07:45] you can't catch him Joey that's why and also there's no body cuz while the
[07:49] coyote keeps coming back there's a there's a there's some warrants out there
[07:53] but you got to get him you got to get him in custody first before you can charge
[07:56] him yeah he's got no arms it's hard to cuff I know and those ankles are so thin
[08:00] I mean good like ankle cuffing him mm-hmm I was thinking that it's the
[08:12] bucket of life and that you've kicked it and it's it's spilled spilled over and
[08:18] there's no more life in the book I like that a lot I was thinking similar than
[08:22] that and like the bucket list so like you have this bucket list related and then
[08:29] when you when you kick the bucket there's all of the list falls out is what I was
[08:34] thinking but not instead of like all the life but it'd be your bucket list would
[08:37] fall out and be done I mean yeah I may piggyback on Jason a little bit and
[08:41] say maybe when there's nothing left then you just get top let over sort of a
[08:46] thing okay oh that's good what what was in his run out that's your life force or
[08:51] whatever the metaphor here is sure yeah yeah if it's if there's nothing in the
[08:58] bucket it doesn't need to be upright can be easily blown over yeah hmm that's
[09:08] good I like that all comes back to physics okay when the winner buckets
[09:14] would have buckets get real popular some ever since yeah we've been able to
[09:21] make clay things and wooden things too right we can make buckets of everything
[09:26] yeah people ever since there was like water and you wanted to transport water
[09:31] back to your is like basically the first thing that you wanted to do yeah okay
[09:37] okay but this raises the question whether that's whether a bucket versus a pot
[09:44] my understanding of a bucket is it has a handle yeah sure hot doesn't have a
[09:51] handle I mean that's my understanding of the difference between a pot and a
[09:56] bucket no pots have handles no I'm feeling like that goes without animals
[10:01] there's this okay what kind of bucket has no handle what's the difference
[10:05] with a puck in the pot then I mean generally I would say the pot is made
[10:09] out of some sort of ceramic or something but again these are words
[10:12] that we created long after the Samaria it's so it's sort of arbitrary right well
[10:18] and that's I guess that I I guess I'm being a little to that point right which
[10:24] is the word bucket comes in at some point so and it's not in Samaria at
[10:32] what point do we distinguish our modes of carrying water between so you just want
[10:38] to know the the etymology of bucket no I'm trying to figure out an era when
[10:45] bucket becomes the etymology for that type of thing carrying water or milk or
[10:53] wine or whatever we're carrying it when we got good at what are the dudes called
[10:59] who craft wood who make casts and stuff what are those homies called whittlers no
[11:06] no there's people the people who make like barrels and stuff Oh barrel makers
[11:12] thanks next one's barriers is very I think that sounds yeah yeah that's right
[11:18] okay oh also hoppers I think hoopers hoopers for sure hoopers do things like
[11:29] that too not hoppers which I just had the hopper one I can't remember what it
[11:37] put in the hopper that was that was a Cooper Cooper Cooper yes the word I was
[11:43] looking yeah yeah yeah yeah shout out Deanna Cooper yes Deanna Cooper hey like
[11:55] deserved yeah that's right okay so we're going to okay let's so let's recap so
[12:02] bought the farm our consensus is that it's something about your passing either
[12:09] allows you to achieve your dream of buying the farm or your kids now are
[12:18] able to get the farm I really like I really like your dad's and Jason's
[12:23] which is the existential farm yes the existential farm okay okay and then
[12:30] kick the bucket we think is the the your your life you can think of as a bucket
[12:36] of things that are gonna happen to you and by the end there's you've done all
[12:42] the things and and it gets or if you haven't it's still kicked over but so
[12:49] again I want to get back to this bucket thing though I want to say like if I
[12:53] feel like buckets firemen had buckets what if what are men still have buckets
[12:59] so what if the fireman knocks over the bucket then they can't put out the fire
[13:04] and then everybody dies I'm sorry I didn't follow I didn't follow that so if the
[13:11] fireman kicks over the bucket and the water goes out they can't put out the
[13:15] fire and everybody dies like oh man you really kicked the bucket exactly now
[13:20] burn gotcha I mean my only objection is that I mean there was a time when fire
[13:28] fighting was like handing buckets down a lot of humans but one particular bucket
[13:35] wouldn't have made a huge difference in that fair enough yeah you make a good
[13:40] call Google so it's wily coyote then all right maybe the the idea that yeah
[13:53] kicking over the bucket as a mistake right could be the end of something
[13:58] something kicked over the bucket and now there's a spill on the floor and now
[14:05] somebody comes on and slips on it and bangs her head and you know it's a
[14:09] Looney tune or yeah if you had something really vital in the bucket that we needed
[14:14] to survive like this is the last bucket of milk right right maybe that's too
[14:23] literal though the kicking the bucket would kill everybody I don't know when do
[14:32] we think these terms came around I like that I think we should answer that real
[14:36] fast and then we should look it up I think bought the farm is so dad would
[14:43] was saying wartime and what do you think maybe which which war you know I mean
[14:51] there's been a million wars maybe a great war let's say let's say civil war okay
[14:59] are you saying like World War two but no the great World War one or one yeah
[15:06] because I mean pretty much everybody's a farmer prior that's like that's like a
[15:12] yeah because yeah because we'll have the World War two there's industrialization
[15:16] and all that stuff yeah yeah okay all right so let's go World War one on that
[15:22] if that's our theory that's a pretty pretty reasonable guess if it's
[15:30] insurance fraud whenever insurance started
[15:36] so you're saying insurance goes back a long time yeah I don't exactly know when
[15:42] insurance came in but let's go with that right insurance that's that's the next
[15:47] under Google yeah but uh okay I think it started with the the invention of the
[15:55] bucket which again no no no no I understand that you're saying no I
[16:01] understand what you're saying that that we created vessels to carry water since
[16:06] the dawn of time once we started referring to something specifically as a
[16:10] bucket and what do you think that was this is what I'm saying I'm probably I'm
[16:16] gonna say just a random guess here 1483 I think that's the ticket kick the
[16:27] buckets around then anybody else have a different guess well I mean you say 1843
[16:36] 1484 it's like I don't feel like that's the time when we discovered how to make
[16:41] wood into a bucket like it either happened 800 years before then 400 years
[16:47] after you think like you don't think you don't think even less technology like
[17:01] ancient Egypt oh yeah yeah I mean you don't think Jesus had access to a bucket
[17:05] okay all right fair enough fair enough all right he was a he was a carpenter
[17:12] you think buckets didn't exist okay Oh God in the form of Jesus during you
[17:18] definitely know how to make buck you're right all right okay so Jesus invented
[17:23] buckets that's correct at least we have our history down Jesus everything he's
[17:32] amazing okay but this is good World War two era from the Air Force so your dad
[17:46] was right basically he nailed this thing like a bucket that soldiers had a dream
[17:53] of saving up to go home and buy the farm after the war but deceased let's
[18:02] see but the deceased pilot received a small plot of land automatically oh oh
[18:08] okay so your actual death bought you a farm oh wow and also ahead of leave
[18:16] mental etymology holds that the insurance payout to the soldiers
[18:21] beneficiaries and or the military pension provided to the brief dependence
[18:26] may have ironically fulfilled his old dream and allowed his surviving family
[18:30] to pay off all lands so everyone is right yeah thanks so that is never happened
[18:37] before that is amazing I give extra props to pops Coles and on that oh yeah oh he
[18:42] nailed nailed yeah yeah but everybody got a little piece of pie there he should
[18:46] probably be on under Google Bulls cuz apparently he's better at this than we
[18:49] are but shut up pops
[18:57] kick the bucket I should be helping so I'm just sitting here drinking one
[19:07] theory a person standing on a pail or bucket with their head in a slip news
[19:12] yet kick the bucket that is dark I found one that it has to do with an older
[19:20] meaning of bucket that refers to the wooden beam often found in a barn roof
[19:25] where an animal carcass might be hung not happy but less dark yeah to kick the
[19:35] bucket then see device the pigs death through yeah this is dark stuff man
[19:42] don't let's let's let's end the show on what just happened let's just stop yeah
[19:47] I liked it when everyone was a winner and things were happy yeah you're right
[19:53] yeah it's it's that slaughter animals it's no good well slightly better than
[20:02] slaughtering humans yeah and it seems like that one is more likely this
[20:08] source so the the handle on a bucket is generally called a bail which is
[20:14] generally considered a defining feature so okay a proper bucket should have yes
[20:21] there's a hole in the bucket I think that's the only time I've been right all
[20:30] day so shout out to me good one but you know well no I guess those but those
[20:40] mock buckets they do have it the ones with the bringers in them you know I
[20:45] guess they also have a bail yep they do for sure you're right buckets were
[20:52] former so if you go back to the etymology of the word the old French
[20:56] bouquet bucket which is from Frank ish do you have an old English cognate
[21:02] pitcher or bulging vessel original belly buckets were formerly made of leather
[21:06] as well as wood so that makes sense yeah I'm also bulging vessel was my
[21:15] nickname high school no it was not all right to get out of here what is what
[21:29] is wrong with you
