• 0:28
  Speaker 1: times have you been locked into conversation and someone has
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: shared something and you're going, whoa where did that come from?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And what's really interesting is that a lot of gen
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Zers and alphas and betas are reverting to these old
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: saints and they don't know where they actually came from.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You know, those things that your family and friends usually
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: come up with, and they come from out of nowhere,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and sometimes they only make sense. You know, they had
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to start somewhere. Who, what, where, why? When? And how?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Some of those old saints are not only ancient, but
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: they still can a powerful punch today. I live by
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: one of those old saints. Winning is a choice. What right? Yeah? Yeah,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: well put it into action, you might understand it. What
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: right right? The goal of these episodes is to help
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: preserve not only a language, but lessons in life. Something
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: our parents would say, my name is Arrow. Oh you're
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: gonna like this one, because I'm sure you've heard it
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a billion times when pigs fly. I can still hear
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: my Grandmado Brins shouting out across those open fields at
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the farm and shared in Wyoming. When pigs fly, it's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a person's way of saying, yeah, that's not gonna happen,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: or it feels totally impossible. The phrase is hundreds of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: years old. In fact, variations of it take us all
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the way back to the medieval part of Europe. One
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Scottish phrase raised in the sixteen hundreds was pigs fly
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in the air with their tails pointed forward. Really two
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: hundred years later, a more defined when pigs fly landed
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: here in the States. The reason why it has stayed
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: out here is because it's an endless expression, because we
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: physically see it as we're saying it. But there are
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: two different ways that you can take it. It can
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: become a shield for skepticism. The company will fix it. Yeah,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: when pigs fly. Then there's the accidental metaphor, when pigs
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: fly can actually carry irony those impossible things associated with
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: pigs flying. It pretty much means it's not gonna happen.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: It's totally impossible. Well, things do happen. The phrase will
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: never fade from our chapters because it's clear, it says
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it right there. It is an image of pigs flying,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and it ignites the inner pictures of your imagination when
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: pigs fly, or like my dad used to say, hmm, yeah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: when pigs fly. Yeah, I'm erol. And that's something our
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: parents would say.
