How The Kitchen Got Its Name

Welcome to the New America. Dubbed ‘God’s Comic’ by the New Yorker, for 16-years, Brad Stine has been the comedic trailblazer of politically incorrect, Christian and Conservative comedy. His new show, ‘Brad Stine Has Issues’, covers cultural issues with his signature brand of comedic sarcasm and satire with insight that will be appreciated by everyone who loves laughter, liberty, and the freedom to tell the truth without fear.

We’re so rich that we have to name every single room in our home. We do. Every one has its own name, such as the living room. I mean, periodically, couldn’t we have named all the rooms in our house the “living room”? I mean,  isn’t that kind of the point – to stay alive while you’re in the house? And, the thing about the living room is it had all the best stuff. It had the best couch, the best furniture, the best lamps… 

As a matter of fact, I wasn’t allowed in the living room. 

“Hey, get out of the living room. That’s for company, you hear me?!”

In my house, the only people allowed in the living room were the people that didn’t LIVE in our house! And then it makes me wonder: If somebody dies in the living room, do you have to change the name? Maybe that’s how we came up with a new name: “Hey, welcome to the living room… (someone drops dead)… Okay, let’s move into the dining room.”

Some of the words kind of make sense. We can follow along. Some words just came out arbitrarily.

Like, “Kitchen”.

Have you ever stopped to think how weird that word is? I don’t even know what it is. It could have been called “the stove room”. I would have known what was going on, then, because that’s where we keep all our food. Maybe that was the point. If somebody breaks in and wants to steal your food, you throw them off the trail:

“Hey, I’m looking for your food. What’s in there?” 

“Oh, it’s the kitchen.”

 “Oh… well, what do you keep in there?”

“Kitchens.”

“Okay, well… I’m out. I’m hungry.”

The one that makes the most sense to me is the bedroom. Because, now you know exactly what you’re dealing with. The bedroom tell us where the bed is. As a matter of fact, every time you rest in the morning, you go up to the bedroom. Every time you rest in the afternoon, that’s where you go. Every time you rest at night, you go to the bedroom. You know, every time you go to rest, you rest up there. As a matter of fact, we could have called it the restroom!

But we already gave that name out, didn’t we?

And that’s even more ironic because if you’re using the restroom properly, you’re pretty active in there. And when you’re done in the restroom, you want to get out of there as fast as you possibly can. There’s no rest in the restroom. That’s weird. As a matter of fact, if  you try to rest in the restroom, people get mad at you.

“What are you doing in there? It’s been 20 minutes!”

“I’m resting. There’s a chair in here and everything!”
