Speaker 1: It's been one of the most successful talent contests on

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,519
the planet NBC's The Voice since twenty sixteen. I've been

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,000
blessed with the opportunity to share a lot of conversations

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,240
with those that have been featured. You can get them

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,480
all at Arrow dot net, r Roe dot net. Look

6
00:00:16,519 --> 00:00:22,359
for the podcast that Voice. Enjoy the exploration. Okay, what's up?

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,559
You know? Those are sayings. Those are old phrases, idioms,

8
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:28,879
the types of things that your family and friends usually

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,000
come up with, and they come from out of nowhere,

10
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:35,200
and only sometimes they actually made sense. They had to

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,359
start somewhere, who, what, where, why, when and how. Some

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,520
of those old sayns are not only ancient, but still

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,719
carry a powerful punch today. In fact, I live by

14
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:48,640
one of those old saints. Winning is a choice. The

15
00:00:48,679 --> 00:00:51,560
goal of these episodes is to help preserve not only

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,640
a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arrow

17
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:01,079
full of beans. Oh my god. I don't know how

18
00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:03,799
many times that I was accused of being full of beans.

19
00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:06,079
I mean I endlessly heard it from my parents as

20
00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:08,840
well as those before them. Dad would look at me

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,560
and literally say, you've got to stop it, son, you

22
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:15,359
are full of beans. Wow. What would you say with

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,439
today's technology and how it's linked to endless amounts of beans.

24
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:24,200
The term or phrase originated in the nineteenth century, coming

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,959
from a farmer's decision to feed beans to their horses

26
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:29,840
because it gave the four legged ranching tools a lot

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,599
of energy. But there are a lot of historians who

28
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:36,840
want to argue with this. My good friend Todd Carlson

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,799
unveiled that its origin is more like the fourteenth century

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,920
and not the nineteenth century, and as associated with the

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,719
European phrase you're full of prunes? Whoa prunes? Have you

32
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,480
ever had a gut full of prunes? Now combine that

33
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:55,280
with beans, you've got to be thinking what I'm thinking?

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,879
What else would you're full of beans mean you're full

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,680
of crap? You are talking nonsense. Both ways of looking

36
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:07,079
at full of beans isn't wrong. Horse owners and jockeys

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,879
needed those beans to lift the spirit of their team players.

38
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:14,199
And yes, even humans with vitality are accused of being

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,599
full of beans. But let's be honest here, are you

40
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:22,599
really thinking energy or are you telling people you're full

41
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:26,479
of crab? Full of beans? Something our parents would say.

42
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,639
