- 0:26Speaker 1: A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey, it's me, that
- 0:32Speaker 1: question guy. You know, the dude that's always asking questions
- 0:35Speaker 1: because it's so much fun to research for answers. Such as,
- 0:38Speaker 1: how much time do these TV chefs really get on
- 0:42Speaker 1: those cooking competition shows? Plus... We've all heard the term before,
- 0:47Speaker 1: cold feet. Why is it associated with a person's wedding day?
- 0:52Speaker 1: My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
- 0:54Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
- 0:57Speaker 1: then activate. I happen to call it the daily mess
- 1:00Speaker 1: because it's a chronological walk through an everyday world. It
- 1:03Speaker 1: is my daily writing. When a subject arrives inside of me, dude,
- 1:07Speaker 1: it's time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
- 1:10Speaker 1: but by doing the research... The picture will become clearer.
- 1:14Speaker 1: This is the Daily Mess. How much time do these
- 1:18Speaker 1: really good chefs get when it comes to prepping for
- 1:22Speaker 1: those TV shows? Well, here's the thing. I am a
- 1:25Speaker 1: home chef or a wannabe. I know a lot about
- 1:28Speaker 1: the time and how it is constantly bashing on the
- 1:31Speaker 1: souls of those who are preparing their food for dinner
- 1:34Speaker 1: or for a special occasion. How much do these TV
- 1:37Speaker 1: chef competitors get to actually prepare for their specialties? A
- 1:41Speaker 1: lot more time than the TV edits make it look.
- 1:45Speaker 1: The time robber for most of us at home is
- 1:47Speaker 1: getting the ingredients and the equipment ready. On TV, it's
- 1:50Speaker 1: already done for them. Then the cooking competition begins, and no,
- 1:56Speaker 1: none of the dishes featured are done in advance. Master
- 2:00Speaker 1: chefs get a lot of time to plan their techniques.
- 2:04Speaker 1: On Beat Bobby Flay, incoming chefs know the general format,
- 2:08Speaker 1: but there is no prep time. The Iron Chef is
- 2:12Speaker 1: so much different. There's an extensive production preparation period put
- 2:16Speaker 1: into effect behind the scenes. The cooking itself is exactly
- 2:21Speaker 1: what the show suggests. What this all boils down to
- 2:24Speaker 1: is falling witness to a chef staying unbelievably calm while
- 2:28Speaker 1: producing a very difficult dish. Most of them have been
- 2:32Speaker 1: secretly cooking for hours. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Isn't
- 2:36Speaker 1: that seen as cheating? Well, the rules have to be
- 2:39Speaker 1: clearly stated. You cook in the time period that they suggest.
- 2:43Speaker 1: The gray areas include cooking stock, dough, sauces, and other
- 2:48Speaker 1: components ahead. The producers and judges, they make the determination
- 2:54Speaker 1: as to what rules are going to stick. Coming up next,
- 2:58Speaker 1: why do they always associate cold feet with wedding days? Hey,
- 3:05Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess. Why do
- 3:07Speaker 1: they always associate cold feet with wedding days? Well, it's
- 3:12Speaker 1: because that's where men, as well as women, experience sudden
- 3:16Speaker 1: shockwaves of doubt, fear, and hesitation. It's a tough place
- 3:20Speaker 1: to be, that moment before walking down the aisle and whispering,
- 3:24Speaker 1: I do. When the phrase first entered the American scene,
- 3:28Speaker 1: it had nothing to do with weddings. It was the
- 3:31Speaker 1: early 1900s. Cold feet were was a way of describing
- 3:35Speaker 1: someone who lost their nerve and was afraid to truly
- 3:38Speaker 1: step forward with the original plan. That eventually found its
- 3:42Speaker 1: way into the world of Love Me Forever, or Let's
- 3:46Speaker 1: Bolt Before It's Too Late. But why cold feet and
- 3:49Speaker 1: not a cold bum or hands? Courage and willingness have
- 3:53Speaker 1: always been associated with our feet. The act of moving forward.
- 3:58Speaker 1: You know, taking that next step. It doesn't mean someone
- 4:01Speaker 1: has instantly fallen out of love. It just pretty much says, um,
- 4:05Speaker 1: this commitment thing that you're doing here. Let's kind of
- 4:08Speaker 1: get off this boat before it floats into a new port. Yeah,
- 4:12Speaker 1: cold feet. Well, here's where more people laugh. It's the
- 4:16Speaker 1: phrase cold feet and how it's associated with weddings. Your
- 4:20Speaker 1: wedding is literally that moment when you experience one foot
- 4:24Speaker 1: in front of the other, walking down that aisle. Do
- 4:29Speaker 1: you get cold feet? I'm Arrow, and that's The Daily Mess.
