Speaker 1: Cutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the Clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny G Radio. It's Saturday, hanging out with you.
Speaker 1: It's the twenty fourth day of May. We are back
Speaker 1: at it, slaving away on the weekend, the hot microphones
Speaker 1: in the pods studio, ready to bloviate all day long.
Speaker 1: Well actually like maybe the next thirty forty minutes. Who
Speaker 1: knows how long this will be. But Dany, we were
Speaker 1: back at it and last night. How about those New
Speaker 1: York Knicks home court advantage? Baby, the Knicks are They're
Speaker 1: not gonna lose back to back games at home, Danny G.
Speaker 1: No way. The Indiana Pacers cannot win back to back
Speaker 1: games at Madison Square Garden, the world's most famous arena.
Speaker 3: Unless yeah, yikes, as you would say. They vomited all
Speaker 3: over themselves, rode.
Speaker 1: The vomit commet. They sucked at a time you cannot suck.
Speaker 1: It was a tie game going to the fourth court.
Speaker 1: They were tied at eighty one, and then in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, did not get her done. Did not get
Speaker 1: her done by the skin on their chinny chinchin the
Speaker 1: Knicks blow it. And so the Pacers, oh my god,
Speaker 1: they have a choke hold. They have an absolute choke hold.
Speaker 3: I see what you did there on this series.
Speaker 1: Here, and how about the Pacers the winning last night.
Speaker 3: They're so good on the road in these playoffs, and
Speaker 3: the Knicks are three and five at home in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: No, I know they're gotta losing regular Tyrese Haliburton. In
Speaker 1: the first half, I was flipping back and forth because
Speaker 1: I may or may not have had some bets on
Speaker 1: the on the on the baseball, but I'm watching the
Speaker 1: basketball and he was horrific. Every time I flipped over,
Speaker 1: he was missing a shot or not making the right pass,
Speaker 1: and it was it was not not good. He's one
Speaker 1: of seven at halftime. Now, one of those at the
Speaker 1: end was just like a throwaway three point shot. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, to try to beat the buzzer, but still
Speaker 1: he was. He was terrible in the first half. And
Speaker 1: then Indiana to win a game with Halliburton, who's been
Speaker 1: their guy. Not all that great, but it's it's legend
Speaker 1: and as long as this guy plays, he will always
Speaker 1: be associated with Marcel and Brooklyn. Pascal Sea cum Uh
Speaker 1: Pascal Siakam was outstanding, uh for the for the Pacers
Speaker 1: obviously me led led thirty nine point twenty three of
Speaker 1: them in the first half.
Speaker 3: Yes, and doesn't see it come look like he's fifty
Speaker 3: years old.
Speaker 1: That is still one of the greatest things I've ever had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a little older, but you know, one of the
Speaker 1: greatest soundbites ever. And so there you go. And there's
Speaker 1: not like one person to blame per se for the Knicks.
Speaker 1: You could say Jalen Brunson. He did have ten points
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3: Ah, those last couple of threes he shot up were
Speaker 3: ugly looking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And there was that inbounds play where he got
Speaker 1: called for the foul I.
Speaker 3: Think it was, but the taste holding that jersey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean there were a couple of things there.
Speaker 1: But the Knicks did not have a lead in the
Speaker 1: fourth court. There were no lead changes. It was tied
Speaker 1: once obviously the start of the quarter, but there were
Speaker 1: no lead changes. And so Indiana, I have no skin
Speaker 1: in the game. I liked I like the way the
Speaker 1: Pacers are playing, So whatever, that's.
Speaker 3: What I feel like. You know, Brunson that first three
Speaker 3: he chucked up at the end of the game, felt
Speaker 3: like he really rushed that shot because he thought they
Speaker 3: were going to foul him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the thing about the Pacers, though, watching the
Speaker 1: way they play, it's like they didn't have that Andrew
Speaker 1: Nemhart didn't go crazy, Nate Smith didn't really none of
Speaker 1: those secondary guys. It was Siakam. And then the other
Speaker 1: thing that stood out with the Pacers is the fact
Speaker 1: that they they just they don't do anything terribly on offense.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like they're good in every phase, just
Speaker 1: about it. It's pretty crazy anyway. So that's the basketball.
Speaker 1: How about the Yankees last night losing to the Colorado Rockies. Wow,
Speaker 1: how much money do you think the sports book on
Speaker 1: the low information fan that saw all those stories written
Speaker 1: about how the Rockies and they are the Rockies off
Speaker 1: to the worst fifty game start in the history of
Speaker 1: professional baseball and the mighty New York Yankees came into
Speaker 1: Coors Field on a random Friday night in May last night,
Speaker 1: and how about that. The Yankees go down and Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge hit a home run and the Yankees still lose.
Speaker 1: That's the ninth win of the year for the Rockies.
Speaker 1: We're on the holiday weekend. Normally, this big holiday weekend,
Speaker 1: Monday is always the day where you're supposed to look
Speaker 1: at the baseball standings, and that's like the first major
Speaker 1: point in the baseball season where you're like, are you good,
Speaker 1: are you bad? Are you a contender? Are you a pretender?
Speaker 1: Like all that stuff, and you know, it's just one random,
Speaker 1: random day. There was some weird stuff though, like the
Speaker 1: Red Sox we're actually trailing after five innings to the
Speaker 1: Orioles and ended up winning nineteen to five in their
Speaker 1: game at Filway. So there was some some wacky stuff
Speaker 1: that took place. And on this pod, as we hang
Speaker 1: out together, we're just you know, kind of see what's
Speaker 1: going on in the world and whatnot. We have. Later on,
Speaker 1: we'll have the very popular phrase of the week, the
Speaker 1: phrase of the week that'll be coming up a little
Speaker 1: bit later tomorrow. We've got the mail bag, don't I
Speaker 1: don't forget though I wanted to mention this. We are
Speaker 1: less than a week away from all Card. The first
Speaker 1: ever Canadian Mallard Meet and Greed will be coming up
Speaker 1: this Thursday, Thursday, Thursday Thursday. And if you have somehow
Speaker 1: been in the dark on this, you have not been
Speaker 1: paying attention. Bad job by you. But we're going to
Speaker 1: be hanging out together on Thursday night. I'm very excited
Speaker 1: to meet Nico, who's the hostess with the Moses for this,
Speaker 1: putting this whole thing together. But we've got the Malord
Speaker 1: Meet and greet. We're coming up this Thursday. Were taking
Speaker 1: place on the twenty ninth of May at Courtside on
Speaker 1: Maine from seven to ten, maybe even earlier. It depends
Speaker 1: on my flight where I'm flying, and we're all flying
Speaker 1: in that day. Lorrain is going to be there and
Speaker 1: Cooper Loop and I'll be flying in and my flight's
Speaker 1: a little bit later than their flights, so we will see.
Speaker 3: Well everything they have time to do the weed before
Speaker 3: you get there.
Speaker 1: You can have a wonderful time, have a wonderful time.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna be the seven to ten o'clock. Coop
Speaker 1: claims he's gonna leave early. Coop says he'll take up
Speaker 1: I plan on staying if there's people there, I plan
Speaker 1: on staying till till ten o'clock. So Malard meat Greek Thursday,
Speaker 1: if you're obviously in British Columbia, if you're within reasonable
Speaker 1: driving distance. I've gotten some RSVPs from Washington, Idaho. We'll
Speaker 1: see these people actually show up. You don't need a RSVP.
Speaker 1: This is not like you don't need an invitation for
Speaker 1: this thing, but we'd love to meet you. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. And the other event we
Speaker 1: were supposed to have, which is that Saturday a week
Speaker 1: from today, got canceled because the Vancouver white Caps there's
Speaker 1: some some weird thing they're playing in Mexico this weekend
Speaker 1: or this coming weekend, I guess, And so there's no
Speaker 1: game in Vancouver. So we have nothing else planned at
Speaker 1: this point. It's getting late in the game, so if
Speaker 1: anything else happens, we will we will let you know.
Speaker 1: We will let you know what's going on with that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Later on we will discuss more from the science world,
Speaker 1: because we haven't done much science.
Speaker 3: Oh, we haven't done scientifical in a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we've not done that in a while.
Speaker 3: Also, a pickleball fight that has gone viral and I
Speaker 3: actually texted the clip to you. So as we get
Speaker 3: through this plot, I'd like you to take a look
Speaker 3: at this hilarious video and before the show is over,
Speaker 3: I'll let everybody know where they can go look at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you old pick a ball. I saw. The Belichick
Speaker 1: story took another turn yesterday as Jordaan Hudson sent out
Speaker 1: a message calling Pablo Torres reporting defamatory, but then she
Speaker 1: deleted the post. I'm a little confused by that, Like
Speaker 1: you can't really delete anything on social media. It's once
Speaker 1: it's o And.
Speaker 3: I'm so sick of that couple. They're the new Travis
Speaker 3: Kelcey Taylor Swift to me because every single date. Huh dude,
Speaker 3: there's a thing about Jordan every day.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I hey, listen every day because People magazine.
Speaker 1: It's a People magazine story. It's like tabloids. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: getting it's getting traction.
Speaker 3: The name of his boat one ring plus eight or whatever.
Speaker 1: Which is the ultimate like the Bill Belichick's the new
Speaker 1: definition of whipped. If like you're putting a what a
Speaker 1: cheerleading championship ring from a Division five school in Maine
Speaker 1: up against the Super Bowls and all that. I mean,
Speaker 1: my god, uh, I just I just like when people
Speaker 1: de lead stuff on social media thinking well, no one
Speaker 1: else see that, and then it's like in on all
Speaker 1: the websites they have the screenshot, like People Magazine and
Speaker 1: all that, and so it's just I get it. I
Speaker 1: get a kick out of that. It does seem like also,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, I saw this yesterday. Aaron Rodgers. I guess
Speaker 1: is he's still playing this weird game. But he heina
Speaker 1: confirmed indirectly that he's going to play for the Steelers,
Speaker 1: although he did it in your passive aggressive way that
Speaker 1: he often does. Rogers was speaking at some event in Austin.
Speaker 1: He's been in Austin. He was on the Rogan podcast.
Speaker 1: I don't know who listens to that, but he's He
Speaker 1: was hanging out at a public event in Austin and
Speaker 1: some kid, always the kids, some kid asked if there
Speaker 1: was any chance that he could sign with the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 1: which is completely reasonable. The Bears went out and got
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. That's completely reasonable. That they would they would
Speaker 1: add they would add Aaron Rodgers after that anyway, Rogers,
Speaker 1: he said, no, he told the kid, but I believe
Speaker 1: there's a team that might play in Chicago this year,
Speaker 1: a road trip. He says. I love Chicago, though, he said,
Speaker 1: way more than they love me. Great relationship, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So immediately we all went to the Steelers schedule and
Speaker 1: ding Ning Ning ning Ning. If you look at the
Speaker 1: steel schedule, they are on the road against the Bears
Speaker 1: in week twelve, November twenty third. So wow. Now Rogers
Speaker 1: claimed this week that the reason he has not signed
Speaker 1: is because he's got sick people in his world. They
Speaker 1: have like the cancer and all that stuff. And I
Speaker 1: still believe my conspiracy that a big part of this
Speaker 1: is he got killed, absolutely killed last year when he
Speaker 1: was with the Jets, and he went to Egypt and
Speaker 1: missed some practice. And so I figure, like, if he
Speaker 1: doesn't sign with the Steelers, nobody can say, hey, you're
Speaker 1: bad job by you for missing this or missing that.
Speaker 1: So as long as he waits, we're almost into June.
Speaker 1: Though this is the last our last Saturday, right, I was,
Speaker 1: I guess our second to last set. Wait, when is
Speaker 1: June first? Is it next Saturday? I don't even know
Speaker 1: his next weekend?
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I'm looking on my calendar right now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: next Saturday is the thirty first.
Speaker 1: Okay, So next Sunday? Okay. So we're heading into the
Speaker 1: last the last week in the month of May and
Speaker 1: then training camps in July. Mid July uses when training
Speaker 1: camp starts, so we're really not that far. We're far off.
Speaker 1: What's the cutoff date? June fifteenth or something like that
Speaker 1: for the Steelers with Aaron Rodgers, we will find out.
Speaker 1: We have enjoyed the spit the phrase of the week,
Speaker 1: and why don't we get to this story about the
Speaker 1: brew haha involving the pickle right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben, click on that. Our homie, Clay Travis switeted
Speaker 3: this out yesterday.
Speaker 1: All right, Alumni Association Clay Travis.
Speaker 3: Yeah at Clay Travis. He says, I can't stop watching this.
Speaker 3: Leading with the high kick was bold, but bro, the
Speaker 3: running punch is the real star here. And his co
Speaker 3: host on The Limbaugh Show, Buck Sexton, has this video
Speaker 3: of these guys who were fighting during a pickleball game.
Speaker 3: After watching this video, I feel like Mike Tyson sexist
Speaker 3: to say, kicking like little girls sexist. But they look
Speaker 3: like they didn't even horse around with their siblings. I mean,
Speaker 3: one guy, you'll see he throws a running punch and
Speaker 3: misses and falls flat on his face and rolls on
Speaker 3: his belly. The other guy does this weird kind of
Speaker 3: kick where, man, you need to see this video. It's hilarious.
Speaker 3: I watched it, but the one probably ten times in
Speaker 3: a row.
Speaker 1: The guy with the green kind of the green shirt.
Speaker 1: There he's holding. There, he's holding the racket he did hit.
Speaker 1: He swung once with the racket. The guy in the
Speaker 1: blue shirt should have kept his racket. You don't drop
Speaker 1: your weapon.
Speaker 3: When you're going to I was gonna say, this is
Speaker 3: why the NFL doesn't let you take your helmet off.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well we had that. We what was his
Speaker 1: name for, Miles Garrett? Remember he went forward try to
Speaker 1: throw the help Yeah yeah, back.
Speaker 3: In the Remember famously was it Lyle Alzado who used
Speaker 3: his helmet as a weapon back in the day. Got
Speaker 3: the matter. The only male dominance in this video, whatsoever,
Speaker 3: is the guy swinging his racket to hit the other
Speaker 3: guy the blue The guy in the blue shirt on
Speaker 3: the ground. This is the kind of wimpy fight you
Speaker 3: would expect from pickleball players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it. I wonder what they were fighting
Speaker 1: about that, Like, what what do you think the fight
Speaker 1: origin was? Was it a bet? Did they have a bet?
Speaker 1: Did somebody violate one of these sacred rules of pickleball? No?
Speaker 3: I bet you it was something really silly, like a
Speaker 3: ball being in or out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never played pickaball. Have you attempted pick a ball?
Speaker 1: I guess I'm old enough to play pickle ball. I'm
Speaker 1: of the age I should want to be into pickleball.
Speaker 1: Now I don't want to be into pickle ball. I
Speaker 1: have no interest in pickleball. I'm annoyed when I go
Speaker 1: by the park and see people playing pickleball. It's it's
Speaker 1: in where I live. There's some tennis courts and one
Speaker 1: of them has been turned into a pickleball court. So
Speaker 1: the whole thing annoying for me. But have you attempted
Speaker 1: the pickle ball to any of you gone out with
Speaker 1: the wife and had a nice night of pickleball?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a tennis court that's not too far.
Speaker 3: A few years ago, when it first was like the
Speaker 3: thing to try out took our kids up there and
Speaker 3: they had their pickleball rackets and a few pickleballs, and
Speaker 3: we tried it out. It's just like ghetto tennis. There
Speaker 3: you go.
Speaker 1: What happened? Remember a couple of years ago there were
Speaker 1: stories about athletes buying pickleball teams. It was gonna be.
Speaker 3: Well that worked out? Well?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, like whatever happened. Like they were all these
Speaker 1: stories that so and so is buying a pickle ball team,
Speaker 1: and these are gonna be like the next big thing
Speaker 1: is pickleball? Did I miss that? Is it already over?
Speaker 1: I feel like it's over.
Speaker 3: This video is so embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, all right, moving on from that, some
Speaker 1: hot pickleball. I know, Alf the alien opiners excide. He
Speaker 1: loves pickles, so I'm sure he's very very excited. We're
Speaker 1: doing hot Pickel talk on the radio, all right. The weekend,
Speaker 1: you know, the Life and Times of Malor and Danny
Speaker 1: g Radio. And this past weekend did not leave the
Speaker 1: house other than to go to dinner with a with
Speaker 1: a friend of mine who like a late birthday dinner
Speaker 1: type thing. But my buddy, he was upset because he said,
Speaker 1: you go here where you want for dinner. Now, we
Speaker 1: don't eat a lot. We don't eat out a lot
Speaker 1: these days. Been cooking a lot. Like enjoy cooking, so
Speaker 1: would rather just eat at home. It's cheaper, you can
Speaker 1: make whatever you want, and what's around in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: So my buddies like, go anywhere we want to. So
Speaker 1: this this Italian place that I like, and I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan of the fetichini alfredo, and so I was say,
Speaker 1: I want to go. This Italian place is really good,
Speaker 1: and he's like, no, that's you should go to a steakhouse.
Speaker 1: And he was Danny. The guy was busting my balls,
Speaker 1: saying that I made a poor decision because he was
Speaker 1: going to buy dinner and I should have gone to
Speaker 1: a steakhouse. But I wanted Italian. I didn't want a steak.
Speaker 1: And if I wanted a steak, I could have gotten
Speaker 1: a steak at the you know, the Italian restaurant had steak.
Speaker 1: But I didn't want steak. I wanted the fetichini alfredo.
Speaker 1: That's what I want. I cooked mine the proper way,
Speaker 1: butterfly cut, and then I cook it well done. That
Speaker 1: me and Rob Parker enjoy our steak the same way.
Speaker 1: And there's something. It's not a waste. The customer is
Speaker 1: always right. That's the proper way to enjoy a steak.
Speaker 1: But the point is, I didn't want a steak. I
Speaker 1: wanted pasta. And why would you invite me to a
Speaker 1: birthday dinner and then bust my balls because I didn't
Speaker 1: pick the right restaurant. You know what I believe it is.
Speaker 1: I think he wanted steak and he assumed, since it's
Speaker 1: a birthday meal, that he would we would go to
Speaker 1: a steakhouse, and that I screwed up his plans because
Speaker 1: I ended up choosing an Italian restaurant. But he really
Speaker 1: wanted a steak. So it's really more about him, not
Speaker 1: about me. That's my theory. It's my my gambling buddy
Speaker 1: Hunter who give me a hard time. It's ridiculous, absolutely pathetic.
Speaker 3: What did he order off the menu that uh he ordered?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I had the fetichin the alfredo with
Speaker 1: the UH, and then I had I had the it
Speaker 1: is where I had a combo chicken parm fetichi in
Speaker 1: the alfredo, So I had the chicken from the chicken
Speaker 1: parm and then I had the fetichine alfredo. He had.
Speaker 1: It was some kind of meat dish, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: a steak. I forget, and then we had.
Speaker 3: The you don't even know. So this sounds like it
Speaker 3: went back to all about being about you.
Speaker 1: Well I didn't. I don't care what other people eat.
Speaker 1: I don't judge. See, this is the problem. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that judge, Like you know, some
Speaker 1: people and I'm not gonna name names here, but sometimes
Speaker 1: like if I ordered a steak a certain way, there's
Speaker 1: some people that are criticized the way I order a steak,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, why would anyone do that because
Speaker 1: it's my steak. They're not eating the steak. It's my steak.
Speaker 1: It's what I want, you know what. You would give
Speaker 1: me a hard touch of well, you know, ruin a
Speaker 1: steak well done, And I'm like, no, no, no, I
Speaker 1: just I don't worry about what you eat. You can go.
Speaker 1: I don't care. If my friend eats dog food, I
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm not eating it. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: take anything off his plate. He can have the freaking
Speaker 1: dog food. Knock yourself out, you know, chow chow pow wow.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm just saying I'm just I'm putting
Speaker 1: that out now. One thing I did make last weekend,
Speaker 1: which is rare. I think I've bet it one other
Speaker 1: time and it is truly without a doubt. And I
Speaker 1: can say this from the bottom of my heart as
Speaker 1: having eaten it last week. Enjoy the spit. Enjoy the spit.
Speaker 1: The culinary journey continues and we return to a favorite
Speaker 1: on the whole menu which we've only made one other time,
Speaker 1: some delicious chicken shwarma. Very exciting and you've not had
Speaker 1: I think has everyone had chicken shwarma at this point?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Should we do? We need to tell people what that is.
Speaker 1: I feel like people should know what that is. But
Speaker 1: it's very popular in the Middle East, right It's like
Speaker 1: a street food in places like Turkey and Israel and
Speaker 1: Iraq and place like that, and anyway, it's not that
Speaker 1: hard to make. It just takes a long time. You
Speaker 1: get to get a spit. My wife got one on
Speaker 1: like the Amazon, and so we got that. The traditionally
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's just you spice the meat and
Speaker 1: you stack it, and the key part is to cut
Speaker 1: it the right way. You gotta cut it thin cut
Speaker 1: slice shaved off meat and you just mix together a
Speaker 1: bunch of garlic and spices and a bunch of lemon
Speaker 1: and some olive oil. And it takes a couple hours
Speaker 1: to make in a traditional oven. And the good thing
Speaker 1: is there's always a lot of extra. And I don't
Speaker 1: normally eat leftover as Danny, as you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: a leftover guy. I don't believe in leftovers. However, this
Speaker 1: is the exception of the rule.
Speaker 3: This in pizza, I will eat because the flavor settles
Speaker 3: in on this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really outstanding. So that's good. You know, probably
Speaker 1: make more of it at some point this weekend, so
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see what happens with that. But that was
Speaker 1: the big culinary event of the weekend last weekend. Very exciting.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm also proud of the magic box that
Speaker 1: I have that I'm able to watch all these games
Speaker 1: with on the TV. I've told you about the magic box.
Speaker 1: You've chosen, You've chosen to avoid the magic box. But
Speaker 1: I've gotten so much use out of the magic box, Danny,
Speaker 1: that the magic box I had, I had to change
Speaker 1: the batteries on the remote control because the magic box
Speaker 1: has been getting a extreme workout. My right hand has
Speaker 1: been getting a workout flipping channels on the magic box,
Speaker 1: which is a good sign. That means that the magic
Speaker 1: box is being used the proper amount. In fact, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to eat the Costco later today to buy
Speaker 1: more batteries for the magic box. I am such a
Speaker 1: radio loser. Put that in your pipe and smoke. The
Speaker 1: phrase of the week time now for the phrase all
Speaker 1: the week. So the phrase of the week this week
Speaker 1: is something everyone in radio dreads, silence. Silence is gold Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah that I still have nightmares about dead air on
Speaker 3: the network.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. We get dead air on
Speaker 1: the network feed every hour for ten seconds before the
Speaker 1: top of the hour, there's dead air. And if I'm
Speaker 1: in the studio sitting there, I immediately like, what is
Speaker 1: going on? Why is there nothing there? And I know
Speaker 1: exactly when the dead air is going to come. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the phrase silence is golden is a proverb, and obviously
Speaker 1: it means, you know, keep quiet. That can be a
Speaker 1: good thing, that's valuable. Quiet is valuable, it is good,
Speaker 1: and that speaking occasionally in certain situations will cause more
Speaker 1: more harm right unnecessarily. And I was surprised when I
Speaker 1: found out the phrase silence is golden. It goes back
Speaker 1: to ancient times FN. Why the people that study this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff say that ancient Egyptians walk like good
Speaker 1: Egyptian Ancient Egyptians they looked at the text as early
Speaker 1: as four thousand years ago and they determined that this
Speaker 1: phrase was used in ancient times. They went back to
Speaker 1: in Egypt, one of the great philosophers of the time
Speaker 1: said that silence is more profitable than abundance of speech.
Speaker 1: There was a medieval proverb speech is silver, but silence
Speaker 1: is golden was another version of this that has been
Speaker 1: twisted around now. In the earliest English use of the
Speaker 1: exact phrase silence is golden someone named Thomas Carlisle in
Speaker 1: eighteen thirty one, so that's a couple hundred years ago,
Speaker 1: and he used that as a wise old saying. So
Speaker 1: if it's a wise old saying in eighteen thirty one,
Speaker 1: then it's a really wise old, old old saying at
Speaker 1: this point. And so silence is golden. That goes all
Speaker 1: the way back to ancient times and the Egyptians medieval
Speaker 1: time passed through. There's been different versions in Egyptian, Arabic,
Speaker 1: European and whatnot. And the modern form. The modern form
Speaker 1: going back to the nineteenth century, and it's alive and well.
Speaker 1: The phrase of the week, silence is golden four thousand
Speaker 1: years ago. That a while four thousand year ago, raise
Speaker 1: and we are still using it today, which is, yeah.
