- 0:00Speaker 1: Absolutely. There are a ton of podcasts out there. Aren't
- 0:03Speaker 1: they saying something like a million four or 4.1 million
- 0:07Speaker 1: or twazillion or gazillion? Where are you going to find them?
- 0:14Speaker 1: That's been my goal, to create Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net, 21 different
- 0:19Speaker 1: podcasts in one place. One of the biggest ones, that voice.
- 0:25Speaker 1: That voice, yeah, from NBC's The Voice. I've spent the
- 0:28Speaker 1: past 11 years with those who have been featured. Well,
- 0:32Speaker 1: let's listen to their conversations. Only on Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy
- 0:38Speaker 1: your exploration. Hey, it's me, that question guy. You know,
- 0:42Speaker 1: the dude that's always asking questions because it's so much
- 0:46Speaker 1: fun to do the research. For instance, can we stop
- 0:49Speaker 1: being the generation that endlessly thinks everything we say is right? Plus,
- 0:56Speaker 1: why do we always say cold hard cash? I mean,
- 0:59Speaker 1: it's everywhere. It's in commercials. It's in TV shows. It's
- 1:02Speaker 1: in movies. Cold hard cash. My name is Harold. I'm
- 1:06Speaker 1: a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the
- 1:08Speaker 1: sidelines to do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
- 1:11Speaker 1: I call it the daily mess. It is a chronological
- 1:14Speaker 1: walkthrough in everyday world. It is my morning writing. When
- 1:17Speaker 1: a subject arrives inside of me, dude, it's time to
- 1:20Speaker 1: dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
- 1:24Speaker 1: doing the research, the picture is going to become clearer.
- 1:27Speaker 1: This is the daily mess. Can we try just a
- 1:31Speaker 1: little bit harder on not always trying to be right
- 1:35Speaker 1: versus wrong? Uh-oh, this is the real deal. No matter
- 1:40Speaker 1: how much you think you're right, there is a big, big, big,
- 1:43Speaker 1: big chance that you are so damn wrong. It usually
- 1:47Speaker 1: happens when a person becomes extremely committed to defending their answer.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Here's why it goes wrong, and I'm not shocked by this.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Number one, overconfidence. I know I'm right. What are you?
- 1:58Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of us suffer from confirmation bias.
- 2:02Speaker 1: It's when you dismiss the evidence against you. Uh-oh, how
- 2:07Speaker 1: about this one? When we want to be right, but
- 2:11Speaker 1: are very wrong because we're forced to explain it. Then
- 2:15Speaker 1: it's refusing to change the conversation. Oh yeah, totally a
- 2:19Speaker 1: false precision and clearly we're missing the obvious. It's usually
- 2:24Speaker 1: overlooked because we're spending way too much time trying to
- 2:28Speaker 1: prove ourselves. Just remember one thing, being committed to truth
- 2:33Speaker 1: is very different than being committed to to being right.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Truth versus right. Here's what research shows. The person willing
- 2:42Speaker 1: to say, you know, I just might be wrong is
- 2:46Speaker 1: actually right, which I guess is my way of saying
- 2:50Speaker 1: I might be wrong. But in reality, if you step back,
- 2:54Speaker 1: guess who's right? Look at me. Look at me. I'm Errol.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Coming up next, why do they always say cold, hard cash? Hey,
- 3:07Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess. They've been
- 3:09Speaker 1: doing it for decades, or have they? Saying cold, hard cash.
- 3:13Speaker 1: We see it in TV commercials. We see it on
- 3:16Speaker 1: TV shows and even movies. Well, it kind of means
- 3:19Speaker 1: exactly what it's expressing. Cold, hard cash. It's real, physical money.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Here's the funny twist in this story. Uh, who is
- 3:29Speaker 1: using cold, hard cash today? I mean, are we talking
- 3:31Speaker 1: about paper bills and coins? Cold, hard cash? Here's how
- 3:35Speaker 1: it breaks down. Cash is money you spend right now.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Hard is tangible and unquestionably real. And cold adds an emphasis.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Did you get that? suggesting that something is very solid, impersonal,
- 3:50Speaker 1: and undeniably cold, hard cash. The phrase first appeared not
- 3:56Speaker 1: in the 18th or the 17th century or any time
- 3:59Speaker 1: during the Shakespearean period. Now it was the 20th century.
- 4:03Speaker 1: We get the blame. It's not an original thought. No way.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Before cold, hard cash, our great-grandparents were saying just hard cash. Yeah,
- 4:13Speaker 1: that's it. Hard cash. Well, why is this even important?
- 4:17Speaker 1: Because it really is a mental thing. It's psychology that
- 4:21Speaker 1: gives reason to this. Cash feels different. You can hold
- 4:26Speaker 1: on to it. You can count it. You can hand
- 4:27Speaker 1: it over to someone. And when it's gone, it's gone.
- 4:31Speaker 1: That's why cold, hard cash really has no excuses. It
- 4:35Speaker 1: has no promises. I mean, show me the money. The cha-ching.
- 4:40Speaker 1: What's money called today? ATM. ATM. apple cash app and
- 4:46Speaker 1: uh do you guys offer tap i'm intrigued by this
- 4:49Speaker 1: because what are we going to be saying in five
- 4:52Speaker 1: to ten years when it comes to cold hard cash
- 4:57Speaker 1: the pennies are gone now what's next i'm thinking it's
- 5:00Speaker 1: going to be the nickel i'm arrow and that's the
- 5:03Speaker 1: daily mess
