Speaker 1 (00:00):
Those old Saints, phrases, idioms, the things your family and
friends said that usually came from out of nowhere, and
only sometimes they actually made sense. Well, they had to
start somewhere, Who, what, where, why, when and how. Some
of those old Saints are not only ancient, but still
carry a powerful punch today. In fact, I live by
one of those old saints. Winning is a choice. The

(00:21):
goal of these episodes is to help preserve not only
a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arrow.
Misery Loves Company. It's believed to have come from the
play Doctor Foutus by Christopher Marlowe. Mephistopolis is the main character,
a devilish figure. He uses a similar sentiment when explaining

(00:41):
why Satan is seeking to expand his kingdom, basically meaning,
unhappy people find comfort in sharing their misery. Doctor Foutus,
from Christopher Marlowe was written in fifteen ninety two. It
was inspired by a piece of work from Germany in
fifteen eighty seven. The doctor in the story was a
disruptible astrol law. Some scholars say that marlow didn't write

(01:02):
the version of the play by himself, claiming the comic
parts were not him at all. Misery Loves Company is
actually a journey for so many, reaching beyond poor states
of mind and action. Miserable people are always looking for
people to relay with, someone who understands their mental plight well.
Dictionary dot com defines the phraser idiom as being words

(01:24):
that affect work. One blogger wants to know why does
misery love company? It is said to be existent in
all lower animals. A crab buckup mentality. A bunch of
crabs are trapped inside. One crab finds a way to escape,
but he's pulled back in. Hey, if we're going to suffer,
we're all going to suffer together because misery loves company.

(01:47):

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
