1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,839
Speaker 1: Listening to a podcast, to me, is like listening to music.

2
00:00:02,919 --> 00:00:05,679
You don't stay in the same genre. You're all over

3
00:00:05,719 --> 00:00:08,400
the place, which is the reason why at Arrow dot

4
00:00:08,439 --> 00:00:12,400
net Arroe dot net seventeen different podcasts to choose from.

5
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:15,279
Because we know that you're everywhere, why not be there

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,440
with you? Those old saints, phrases, idioms, you know, those

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,280
things your family and friends would say, and it usually

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,359
came from out of nowhere, and only sometimes it actually

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,960
made sense. Well, they had to start somewhere, who, what, where, why,

10
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:30,760
when and how. Some of those old saints are not

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,960
only ancient, but they still carry a powerful punch today.

12
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:36,200
In fact, I live by one of those old saints.

13
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:39,840
Winning is a choice. The goal of these episodes is

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,960
to help preserve not only a language, but lessons in life.

15
00:00:44,359 --> 00:00:48,640
My name is Arrow. A Stitch in Time Saves nine.

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,479
The best comedy on the planet is to say something

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,079
like this to someone who is a millennial, Generation Z

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,159
or Generation Alpha. I mean, their facial expressions are going

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,840
to be priceless. A Stitch in Time Saves nine. It

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,599
was first recorded in Thomas Fuller's book in seventeen thirty two.

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,239
It was a collection of proverbs The expression refers to

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,959
the idea that fixing a small tear in your clothing

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,840
with one stitch when it first appears will prevent it

24
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:18,599
from becoming a larger tear that requires nine stitches to

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,599
physically repair. Now I laugh out loud at this because

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,879
how many of us have physically tried to stop a

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,319
simple crack in your car windshield by carving into that

28
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:30,599
windshield a straight line, thinking, oh, a stitch in time

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,920
will save nine. Yeah. No. The reason why young adults

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,400
don't know the phrase A stitch in time saves nine

31
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:42,000
is because stitching your clothing today it's not common. There's

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,840
a darker story that comes with this phrase. It takes

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,239
nine pounds to weigh down a body sack holding a

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,239
person buried at sea. There could be more than nine,

35
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,079
but there's always that fear the person is still alive.

36
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:01,719
Nine pounds allows you time to escape. Whether you need

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,439
one pound or nine pounds, you're still respecting the assumed

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,840
dead body. A stitch in time saves nine something our

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,400
parents would say. My name is Arro
