Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, we're having a lot of fun on Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
- 0:04Speaker 1: You know the music, you know the artists, but can
- 0:06Speaker 1: you name them before we tell you what they are?
- 0:10Speaker 1: It's called Music's Lost History, Song Edition and Artist Edition,
- 0:14Speaker 1: and it's found only on Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Hates me, that question guy. You know, the dude that's
- 0:24Speaker 1: always asking questions because he loves doing the research for answers.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Such as, why is going number two such a taboo subject?
- 0:36Speaker 1: We all do it, right? Plus, suck a tash. It's
- 0:39Speaker 1: been attached to a cartoon, yet it's amazingly historic. My
- 0:43Speaker 1: name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
- 0:49Speaker 1: then activate. I happen to call it the daily mess
- 0:52Speaker 1: because it's a chronological walkthrough in everyday world. It is
- 0:55Speaker 1: my daily writing. When a subject arrives inside of me, dude,
- 0:59Speaker 1: it's time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
- 1:02Speaker 1: but by doing the research, the picture is always going
- 1:06Speaker 1: to become clearer. This is The Daily Mess. Why are
- 1:10Speaker 1: people not so much into letting others know a, uh,
- 1:16Speaker 1: I gotta go number two. I mean, everybody does it, right?
- 1:20Speaker 1: Society has taught us to act like nobody does do it. Many, many,
- 1:25Speaker 1: many people can't openly say, those toot-toots tell me the
- 1:29Speaker 1: train is coming. What? Right. Why can't we just let
- 1:33Speaker 1: people know that we gotta go? Because we're taught that
- 1:37Speaker 1: it's very private, so we associate it with embarrassment. The
- 1:42Speaker 1: very second someone hints at taking a right turn instead
- 1:46Speaker 1: of a left, oh, it is the smell, the sound,
- 1:49Speaker 1: and the fear of being judged right there on the spot.
- 1:52Speaker 1: We have an image to keep up with, plus someone
- 1:55Speaker 1: is always going to make it humorous. Well, the human
- 1:59Speaker 1: being has made the output of our bodies more embarrassing
- 2:03Speaker 1: than what we're putting into it. The bad news about
- 2:06Speaker 1: your poop, people hold it for hours or they pretty
- 2:10Speaker 1: much do what I do. And that is you leave
- 2:12Speaker 1: the restaurant or the movie theater and you go home
- 2:15Speaker 1: for total comfort and security. True story. Hey, coming up next,
- 2:21Speaker 1: what is this thing called? Suckatash. And after watching Antenna
- 2:25Speaker 1: TV and WeTV, all of a sudden I'm going, wait
- 2:28Speaker 1: a second. We grew up with this. Suckatash. Hey, thanks
- 2:33Speaker 1: for coming back to The Daily Mess. What is succotash,
- 2:37Speaker 1: and why is it stuck to a cartoon character? Suffering
- 2:41Speaker 1: succotash was what I grew up with while watching Sylvester
- 2:45Speaker 1: the Cat. First, it is a very real dish with
- 2:49Speaker 1: a huge, huge American history. It's corn and beans, and
- 2:54Speaker 1: some people actually add tomatoes, peppers, onions, and yes, even butter. Very,
- 2:58Speaker 1: very indigenous in its style and presentation. The food's shared
- 3:03Speaker 1: with European colonists, but how did it become a cartoon catchphrase?
- 3:08Speaker 1: Suffering succotash usually meant something wasn't going right, and it
- 3:13Speaker 1: was trademarked, believe it or not. The phrase was first
- 3:17Speaker 1: used not in the cartoon, but rather a newspaper story
- 3:21Speaker 1: in 1910. It was the cartoon that actually made it famous.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Historians haven't been happy about suffering succotash because it's an
- 3:30Speaker 1: American food tradition that's become a cartoon joke. As for
- 3:36Speaker 1: which one has been around the longest, guess what? The
- 3:40Speaker 1: food is always going to win. I'm Arrow, and that's
- 3:45Speaker 1: The Daily Mess.
