1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Kabbooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny G Radio who is

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: on assignment. Danny G is away, but we are hanging

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: out a fresh podcast for you, even on a day

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: of rest, the day where you're supposed to go out

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: and go shopping and spend a bunch of money and

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: all that. Here we are hanging out on this twenty

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: fourth day of November. A glorious fry after a full

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: pig skin, a palooza on Thanksgiving, the Mal Thanksgiving, which

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: was amazing. More on that. I'll probably save that for

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: the Saturday podcast with Danny G. The Life of Mal

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: The Life of Danny G on Saturday. But we have

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: a lot to get to that's on our plate. You

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: could say these are leftovers, but I don't think they're leftovers.

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: I do not believe they are leftover. So we have

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: on this fifth Hour with Ben Mahler, Sands Danny g

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: who'll be back this weekend, we have Black Friday, Shopping,

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: racist a Turkey PSA, and the Idiom of the Week.

28
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: All of that content absolutely free. We do not charge

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: a penny, not a penny. You don't have to pay

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: a subscription fee or anything like that. As we are

31
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: in week twelve of the NFL and today, depending on

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: when you are listening to this particular most people listen

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: in the morning. But we have later today a football game,

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: not a good one, not a good one. The Miami

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins at seven and three and the j e Ts Suck, Suck,

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Suck at four and six. That is the first ever

37
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Black Friday game by request from Amazon. I don't know

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: if you saw the story the other day where Peter

39
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: King he was claiming that this is such a big deal,

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: It's like such an awesome thing to play football on

41
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Black Friday. It's so unusual that there will be teams

42
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: bidding trying to become the exclusive rights holder to the

43
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Black Friday Game. Now the Jets are hosting that game today.

44
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: It starts at three o'clock Eastern time noon in the West.

45
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: That game is in New Jersey. I don't think anybody

46
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: wants the Jets to host that game permanently because they

47
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: have They're like the new Lions. They really are. They've

48
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: become like the Lions have been. It's stunk. So on

49
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: this podcast, we've got Black Friday Shopping, Turkey PSA, and

50
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Idiom of the Week. As I said, so, we're gonna

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: start with the Black Friday shopping, and you can do

52
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Maybe you don't go shopping at all.

53
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people doing the shopping online. Maybe you

54
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: wait for Cyber Monday, which I guess is still a thing.

55
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: But I know one thing that every man, woman, and

56
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: child freaking love. They can't get enough of it. And

57
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: it is the universal gift that every human being says,

58
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: thank you, Can I have another? And that would be

59
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny. That's right. You might say, well,

60
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: there's no way you've got to show there's absolutely no

61
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: possibility there's an episode of Benny Versus the Penny. There

62
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: were three football games yesterday on Thanksgiving. There's a game

63
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: today with the Jets and the Dolphins. There's no way,

64
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: no that's wrong. In fact, we've got a pretty good

65
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: card of games. All things considered. Everyone's playing this weekend.

66
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: There's no five weeks, but there's some dcent ends. You

67
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: got the Bills on the comeback trail taking on the

68
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles and that's one of the big games on Sunday.

69
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: Also the Ravens and Chargers, the Vikings trying to get

70
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: back on track against the lowly Chicago Bears, and the

71
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: NFL's hottest team, the Denver Broncos playing the Cleveland Browns.

72
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: So there's some decent match. But also Jacksonville is trying

73
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: to get revenge against the Houston Texas. So here's what

74
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: you need. Give the gift of Bennie Versus the Penny.

75
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: As even on Thanksgiving week, there is no time off

76
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: when you do television. There's no days off when you

77
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: do TV. You can't take a day off when you

78
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: do TV. It's very important. TV's very very important. So anyway,

79
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,240

Speaker 1: should say your DVR to record an extra I don't

99
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: know hour, because usually that stuff goes long. I've been

100
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: told by people I missed the final fifteen minutes of

101
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: the show because the so and so game blah blah

102
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,400

121
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,520

129
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,120

130
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: of the Lakers over the years. If you've heard the show,

131
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,280

132
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: they're cable channels great. I am a big fan. I

133
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: saw the light. I've come to salvation when it comes

134
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: to the Lakers cable home. Man, is that a good channel?

135
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,480

00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: such a radio loser. Now. If you have been with me,

157
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: if you've been hanging out with me over the years,

158
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: you know that when it comes to the holidays, I

159
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: have high stands. Some would say, hey, you're a douche.

160
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: But I believe that you should never cut corners. I

161
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: don't like a lot of people. And anything you do

162
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: you should do an honest work. You should do the

163
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: job as required. I go buy what And I've talked

164
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: about this a bunch. The Code of the West, right,

165
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in the Code of the West.

166
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: And if you're not familiar for somehow, if you haven't

167
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: heard what the code is, a Code of the West

168
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: is it's a very simple concept. It's a very simple

169
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: concept that you take pride in your work. You always

170
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: finish what you start. You do what has to be done,

171
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: like a podcast on a day when I shouldn't be

172
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: doing a podcast like this. This is an example the

173
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: Code of the West. Right. You do what has to

174
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: be done, and if you make a promise, you keep

175
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: the promise. Those are all things that are part of

176
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: the Code of the West. There's a bunch of other

177
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: things in there, right for the brand right talk less,

178
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: say more. That's also that's also a big thing. So

179
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: not that I'm some kind of Wyoming cowboy, but did

180
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: you know here's a fun fact. In Wyoming, the state

181
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Code of Ethics is the Code of the West. I'm

182
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: not making that up. By that's a fun fact. Alf

183
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: the Alien Opiner will like that. The Wyoming State Code

184
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: of Ethics is the code of the West. So take

185
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: that for what it's worth. So anyway, that's all part

186
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: of the deal. That's all part of the deal. But

187
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: I bring this up because it's our time of the year.

188
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 1: We do this a couple times a year on the podcast.

189
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: Consider this a Turkey public service announcement, a Turkey PSA.

190
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: And since you are a super fan of the show,

191
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: you've gone above and beyond the call of duty. You

192
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: don't just listen to the overnight show, which would be enough,

193
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: that would be enough. You don't just do that. You've

194
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: gotten out of your way to track down the fifth

195
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Hour podcast. And is that awesome? Yes? Right, that is

196
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: just one of you. You've caught the bug. You've caught

197
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: the bug, and we thank you for that. But this

198
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: time of the year is a time where a lot

199
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: of people fill in in sports radio and they get

200
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: very lazy. They like to get an inner tube and

201
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: float on the lazy river of sports radio. And so you,

202
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: as a discerning customer, I would like thank you to

203
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: avoid people that are lazy at their job.

204
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: You know that.

205
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Corny, hokey holiday weekend sports radio, the cornball sports talk

206
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: radio that you get this time.

207
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: Of the year.

208
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: And for example, here are the things look for if

209
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: you want to know the person you're listening to has

210
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: done no prep and has no idea what they're doing.

211
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: They're just punching the clock, right, They're just punching the clock.

212
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: Here are some of the topics of conversation. If you

213
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: hear this on whatever radio show. And I'm sure this

214
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: is no one that we work with at Fox Sports Radio.

215
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: These are probably other people like local guys and gals.

216
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: But anyway, here's the deal. So these are the things

217
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: you look for that you know the person you are

218
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: listening to is not putting an honest effort at the

219
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: handbook to the lazy river of sports radio over the holidays.

220
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: For Thanksgiving weekend, a big one is what in sports

221
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: are you thankful for? Right? What in sports are you

222
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: thankful for? If you have someone that you're tuning into

223
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: on the radio, say that that is a red flag,

224
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: there should be alarm bells. That's actually what it sounds like.

225
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: Just like that, that is a sign. Whoever is doing

226
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: the show is lazy. They are lazy. That is an

227
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: evergreen question. What in sports are you thankful for? Let's see,

228
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for Victor wembon Yama looking good one game

229
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: and sucking for the next ten. I'm thankful for that.

230
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: So that is one of the topics of conversations. Oh

231
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: here's another one. Who's the biggest turkey in sports?

232
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: Now?

233
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: That is a spin off of what are you thankful

234
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: for in sports? That's a spin off. The spinoff would

235
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: be who's the biggest turkey in sport? And that's a

236
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: sign no prep right, You're just hanging out, rolling on

237
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: and you're just doing your thing, and it's like a

238
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: bittersweet moment when you realize the person you're listening to

239
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: is just punching a clock. That's all They're doing. Another

240
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: thing to look for, another thing to look for. Here

241
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving weekend is who would you like to invite

242
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving dinner? This probably happened already on Thanksgiving itself

243
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: and the lead into Thanksgiving, but this is another one, like,

244
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: who do you want to invite? A general live in sports?

245
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: Who do you want to be at your Thanksgiving? I'd

246
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: like to have I don't know Kobe. I'll have Kobe

247
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth. Then I'll take Shack and Phil Jackson, and

248
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: I'll throw in Ken Norman and Ken the animal Banister

249
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: from old school NBA. How does that work? Does that work?

250
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: Good?

251
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: Does that work?

252
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: No?

253
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: Yea, So that likely already happened. That likely already happened.

254
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: How about this one. Here's another thing you need to

255
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: look for this Thanksgiving weekend. And this is also something

256
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: that probably already happened. But it's something that somebody could

257
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: do right now anyway, after the fact post mortem. The

258
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekend food draft a staple of lazy talk show hosts.

259
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: For better or worse, this is a sign I have

260
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: given up all hope. There's nothing to talk about. So

261
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: I am just going to go with the Thanksgiving weekend draft.

262
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: What the damn do? And that's the number one pick

263
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: is a turkey. Maybe you don't like turkey, Maybe you

264
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: like ham, maybe you like beef. I don't know. What

265
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: about football? Should football go ahead of turkey? What about

266
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: cranberry sauce? How about pumpkin pie? Everyone loves pumpkin ky yams.

267
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: Some people just like the marshmallows, the sweet potatoes. What

268
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: about sweet potatoes? And go on and on. What about

269
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: the gravy? That is a sign you are a hack?

270
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: That is a sign you are a hack. A donk

271
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: k a app salute donk. So those are some of

272
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: the things to look for, and likely already happened a

273
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: lot of those things, but they continue on through the

274
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: holiday weekend. There are some Black Friday editions of this.

275
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: And for example, since today is Black Friday, what would

276
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: you buy for Patrick Mahome? Right, what would you buy?

277
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: You Just pick any athlete, any star athlete you know

278
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: and fill in the blank. That's also part of the

279
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: lazy sports radio river for Thanksgiving weekend. Now we have

280
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: the ideo of the week times too, the idiom of

281
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: the week, not to be confused. Not to be confused

282
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: with the phrase of the week. No, no, no, this

283
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: is something totally different. Also not the word of the week,

284
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: which is again foreign to the idiom of the week.

285
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: So we have double your pleasure, double your fun on

286
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: the idiom of the week. We have birds of a feather,

287
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: Birds of a feather, the idiom of the week. Now,

288
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you've for this. We did this one in

289
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: honor of Thanksgiving in honor of Thanksgiving. The idiom of

290
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: the week. First of two birds of a feather. How

291
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: dare you so? I assume you know what this is,

292
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: but you know we most of us ate turkey or

293
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: some kind of bird this week, So bird unless you're

294
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: a vegan, and then you know it's probably offensive to you.

295
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: But birds of a feather. And then this goes people

296
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: that have similar taste, interest backgrounds, people who relate to

297
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: others and you feel safe around them, shared values. Birds

298
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: of a feather. Now it is actually the full phrase

299
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: is birds of a feather flock together, But over time

300
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: most people just say birds of a feather. Say birds

301
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: of a feather? Is is what most people say. Now.

302
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: The first use of this idiom, we are told, goes

303
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: back more than four hundred and seventy five years ago.

304
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: You gotta go all the way back in the hot

305
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: top time machine to the year fifteen forty five. Wow,

306
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: birds of a feather flock together. That goes back to

307
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: fifteen forty five guy named William Turner. Bill Turner used

308
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: one of the first versions of this in something called

309
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: the Rescuing of Ramish Fox, and the phrase comes from

310
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: the observation that the same type of bird will hang

311
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: around with the same type of bird, meaning that if

312
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: you see a pigeon, they're gonna be hanging out with

313
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: other pigeons. If you see, oh, they're hanging out with crows.

314
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: That's how they roll. They don't hang out with the

315
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: other birds. You're not gonna get a parrot hanging out

316
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: with the seagull. They that's not how they roll. Birds

317
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: of a feather flock together. The geese hang with geese.

318
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: It's all part of the plant. And in the same

319
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: energy they fly, they're able to fly in formation and

320
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: all that, and they've got each other's backs, right. The

321
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: group of birds protects each other from hostile attacks, much

322
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: like the Malard militia. And we protect each other, you

323
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: protect me, I look out for you. That's how it

324
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: works when you're a member of the Malleord Militia. So

325
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: the first of two idioms of the week birds of

326
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: a feather or birds of a feather flock together. That's

327
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: an old one that goes way back to fifteen forty five.

328
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: But I said, since it's a holiday weekend, this being

329
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: Black Friday, double your pleasure, double your fun. So we

330
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: have a double dose of the idiom of the week.

331
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: That's right, the idiom of the week. It's our pearls

332
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: of wisdom while you're at a three martini lunch instead

333
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: of shopping or doing whatever you're doing today, eating a

334
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: leftover turkey sandwich. So the next idiom of the week

335
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: something that I use quite a bit on the show.

336
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: I use this usually a couple times a month.

337
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: Can of worms. Can of worms? Here the next idiom

338
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: of the week. Now, in terms of can of worms, where.

339
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: Is this one at? So this means to get into

340
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: something that is trouble, messy, causing problems, right, something that's unwanted, complicated,

341
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: pain in the ass. A synonym of a can of

342
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: worms would be Pandora's box. You've opened Pandora's box, but

343
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 1: this is can of worms. The origin of this phrase

344
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: does not go back very far. Shockingly, so the previous

345
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: idiom of the week, we gave you birds of a feather,

346
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: that goes all the way back, back, back, back, back

347
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: back to the fifteen hundreds. But from what I was

348
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: able to decipher from my research for this edition of

349
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour, a can of worms, the phrase goes

350
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: back only about seventy five years, about seventy five years.

351
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: The belief is by those that keep track of this stuff,

352
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: and man, what exciting lights the lives they lead, right,

353
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: What a happy tap dance that must be. But the

354
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: people that keep track of this and see when words

355
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,959
Speaker 1: came into existence and when they were tracked and all

356
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: that stuff. The origin of this phrase can of worms

357
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: goes back to the nineteen fifties. I mentioned about seventy

358
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: five years ago. Nineteen fifties. It was found in something

359
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: called the Edwardsville Intelligencer, which sounds like a newspaper to me,

360
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: The Edwardsville Intelligencer. It was published in the United States.

361
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: It is a writing cliche but has gotten popular in

362
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: verbal communication also, So it started as one of those

363
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: written things and has become more and more popular. So,

364
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: can of worms. You've opened up a can of worms?

365
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: So just not me. I thought this might go back to, like,

366
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, ancient times, when they had actual worms. You'd

367
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: open them up and they'd all crawl out, and all

368
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: that stuff. Now I liked. I used to go to

369
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: the Magic Shop at Disneyland. I was a big fan

370
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: of the Magic Shop. I've been at Disneyland a while.

371
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: I can't afford it. Anymore on overnight salary. But we'd

372
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: go to Disneyland and they'd have that little can of

373
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: like it was a can of fake peanuts and you'd

374
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: open it up in a worm like a snake would

375
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: pop o, like the fake can of worms and all

376
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: that stuff. That was that. That's kind of cool. That

377
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: was neat. So can of the worm. The next idiom

378
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: of the week a double dose on a Black Friday

379
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: two for one special. What other podcast is giving you

380
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: that kind of content? The answer is none. The answer

381
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: is none. That's it. They're all sleeping on the job.

382
