Archimedean

[00:00] You know what if if if your Hall of Fame doesn't want me, I wouldn't want to be a part of it. Cool. You're not
[00:11] All right Coalson
[00:13] It's time for an under Google. What do you got for us this week?
[00:16] We do under Google rules. That was the play of super excited told us we had to
[00:35] We signed up for it in the end it's gonna be better and more true than Google can give you
[00:44] So this week whatever floats your boat
[00:49] Yeah, that's just a good one. All right. Wait, no, that's not we can pick the end of Google
[00:54] No, no, no, you're gonna pick it. That's that's that's the actual I want to know I want to know where that phrase came from
[01:00] Cuz the answer is water. Why is that a saying?
[01:03] Whatever floats your boat. Why would there be other options? This is why this is why it's a question. This is weird
[01:09] Why whatever floats your boat is water. Why is it a phrase?
[01:14] When did it come about this what we do whatever floats your boat this seems like something that
[01:22] Somebody's dad threw out at a party in the 70s and for some reason somehow it just stuck around
[01:31] The rhyme yeah, she said the 70s rhyming I like it now
[01:37] So Coalson do we do we get a good definition? I mean I know what it means
[01:42] But no, I think you should tell me what it means
[01:44] Sure. Well, I guess the you know, I mean what I always take it as you know
[01:49] Someone's like whatever floats your boat is you know what it's up to you
[01:52] Whatever whatever it's kind of it's up to you, you know, well, whatever makes you have it makes you happy kind of thing
[01:57] Whatever's gonna work. Yeah, I don't yeah, whatever works. Whatever whatever you want to do is fine
[02:03] particularly if that thing is like
[02:06] Abnormal they're like no sure. Yeah
[02:10] Mm-hmm, I guess that's true. Yeah, I like that twist on it. Thank you Jason
[02:14] I guess you say yeah, wait, like when someone gives a like this is what I like to do like, oh, okay
[02:20] Whatever that's kind of it's kind of how you use it for sure. At least that's how yeah, I've used it in my yeah
[02:26] Yeah, all right. So why would you say why would it be abnormal if you want to float your boat?
[02:32] Well, I mean it would be a normal if you float it in something other than water
[02:36] right
[02:38] It seems like it's something like you would
[02:42] Try to put something in water. That's not a boat
[02:45] Right, you would like try to whatever floats in water
[02:50] is
[02:53] Awkward and weird, right? So that's the idea of the phrase but in fact
[02:58] It's whatever floats your boat. So I agree with you Harper. It's about
[03:03] What's floating the boat, which is not water, which is weird
[03:08] There's some pre Archimedean
[03:11] understanding of why things float
[03:14] Mm-hmm Eureka
[03:17] Archimedean
[03:20] Archimedes he's the boat guy. Yeah, was that that the Tyler Perry movie?
[03:28] Is Archimedes the boat guy? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he figured out why things like the volume
[03:35] Okay, all right infinite sums and all sorts of fun stuff Archimedes just smart guy
[03:39] So you think it goes back to to the Grecians degree? I I'm just saying it's a possibility
[03:45] I was trying to make sense out of what Coalson was saying
[03:51] Good no, no, no, no, no, no. No, that's not what you should be doing. You should be going off the phrase
[03:56] Don't listen to me. Okay, I I like this. It's the Grecian
[04:01] Archimedes term
[04:02] Get something else float your boat besides water. I
[04:06] Mean, it's not Pepsi. Yeah, certainly, but but
[04:10] crystal peps
[04:11] clear grade
[04:15] Often that you come across
[04:19] Bodies of crystal gravy large enough to put a boat in yeah, so it happened to me twice this year. It's true
[04:26] So so I mean my my assumption. Okay, so my assumption is that this is going to be during
[04:35] American
[04:36] discovery
[04:38] This is this the North American discovery
[04:42] We've got big boats and we're trying to get them on
[04:46] creeks and rivers that are completely polluted in Indiana
[04:50] And I think they're not back then we can't travel unless it can float our boat and
[04:58] so you can only
[05:02] Travel you can only explore
[05:05] For whatever floats your boat. So I'm gonna go with
[05:09] 1680s
[05:11] That was so specific
[05:13] Yeah, we can only float our boat if it's got enough water
[05:20] The boat has enough water
[05:22] Yeah, no, no. No, if there's enough water in the ground for the boat to float
[05:28] Okay
[05:30] so Creek or River
[05:32] Enough water to flow. It's just like while I explore a depth and draft issue
[05:38] Yes depth and draft. That's exactly right. I'm sticking with it some random dead. I'm tempted by random death
[05:46] Yes
[05:47] Because the strangest of the phrase itself is that yeah
[05:52] the boat
[05:54] Floats because of physics right that yeah, it floats all the time right because of displacement, right? Yeah
[06:02] so
[06:04] This is why it's a stupid phrase. This is why I asked it. I
[06:08] Feel like the guy in the 70s also had at least one button
[06:13] Maybe two that were that were unbuttoned that should have been hmm. Was it around his belly or is it up top? Oh
[06:20] Maybe at the bottom to maybe one at the bottom one at the bottom two at the top
[06:26] Yeah, yeah, I like this guy
[06:28] So I was starting to search and it says whatever floats your boat and the second one is whatever floats your goat
[06:34] I'm gonna actually let that one up instead. Whatever floats your goat. Yeah. Yeah, I'll start on urban dictionary and see where oh
[06:46] Jesus this is sex. This is the answer sex
[06:51] It seems to first appear in the early 1980s
[06:56] with the first documented
[06:59] magazines and newspaper articles
[07:04] It developed so this is according to slang slang lang
[07:09] net
[07:12] They claimed it developed from the modified version of phrases like whatever suits you and whatever gives you pleasure coming from 18
[07:21] 20s
[07:23] By the 1970s variations like whatever turns you on also appeared in english
[07:29] Yeah, I don't so it's definitely some random. Yeah, I think you nailed it 70s party nailed that super solid
[07:37] colin colson is
[07:39] Super concerned about accurate you were yeah, he really is
[07:43] Are you just super mad cuz it wasn't 1683 or whatever?
[07:47] This is terrifying
[07:49] It seems to be pretty sexual and I'm grossed out by it. I think I'm only seeing one
[07:56] article that's
[07:58] in that vicinity
[08:01] No, I think it's it's in. It's a
[08:04] 1970s
[08:05] Dad trying to get late. I think it's gross
[08:10] No, I think he's walking out of the key party and being like whatever floats your boat guys
[08:16] Okay, I'm not like that, but you guys do you it's fine walking away. I like it eight early 80s late 70s
[08:25] I've got an early 70s
[08:28] Boat you got a float with sexual undertones
[08:32] Do you just do a search for the phrase and then the word sex after it?
[08:41] Undertones on everything
[08:43] his Google algorithm just
[08:46] Inserts that silent way at the end of everything. Yeah. No he he he installed the extension
[08:51] My entire phone is boring
[08:55] So that got
[08:57] Freaking nailed
[08:58] No, I mean I this disturbs me more than I would I wanted it to be something
[09:04] interesting and back in the day and instead it's
[09:07] It's I can't wait. It's creepy old guys in one of our generation
[09:13] To like claim they made up this freeze when they're talking to our grandkids. Yeah, there you go
[09:19] And we're not gonna be able to contradict them at all. No. No, I'm so angry
[09:26] Whatever floats your boat is by somebody in the late 70s early 80s talking about sex. It was a sexual revolution, man
[09:35] Don't be such a square calls him. Yeah
[09:40] Sex is a beautiful thing Jonathan. Sure. I agree with that and I like it when you call me my full name
[09:46] It is time to get going it floats its boat
