  Speaker 1: Arrow dot net, arr Oe dot net. Not just one podcast,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: it's broken up into several different styles, meaning the YA
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: authors are not going to be hanging out with the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: professional wrestlers and those who are in public office. No, no, no,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: everybody's on their separate path. And I love that because
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it gives you the power of choice. Oh this is
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: what I want to listen to today, and it's right
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: here in one place, and I don't have to search
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: several different platforms. How do you like that? Huh? Ero

  Speaker 1: dot net, ar r Oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration.

  Speaker 1: Something our parents would say. You know those things your
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: family and friends would blurt out, and they usually came
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: from out of nowhere, and sometimes they actually made sense,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: but they had to start somewhere. Who, what, where, why, when?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And how. Some of those old sayts are not only ancient,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: but you know what, they still carry a powerful punch
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: even today. In fact, I live by one of those
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: old saints. Winning is a choice. The goal of these
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: episodes is to help preserve not only a language, but
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: let since in life. Something our parents would say, my
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: name is Arrow. You know what you need? You need
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: your brain examined? Oh god, I laughed at this one
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: so hard because my oldest brother, Teddy, endlessly preached this
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: while shoving his middle finger deep into his forehead above
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: his right eye. He would do it so often that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it actually created a bump that lasted the rest of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: his life. You need your brain examined. It originated in
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the late nineteenth century, the time period where psychiatry was
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: just becoming globally known. People in the nineteenth century believe
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: mental issues could be diagnosed by examining your brain. Doctors
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: took up measuring the shape of your head. That's what
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you call phrenology, So when someone said you needed your
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: brain examined, it was literal. By early nineteen hundred, it
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: evolved into street slang and humor, a sarcastic jab rather
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: than a serious claim. You need your head examined appeared
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in cartoons and radio and films. Politically speaking, here in
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, it is now seen as unacceptable. It
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: comes across as being uh insensitive. Although some groups of
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: friends still use it as a potshot or a joke,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It's still very risky to use because mental health experts say,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, if we're going to earn
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the respect of those who have situations. We need to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: start with situations like this. Quit saying you need your
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: head examine. Quit making fun of people and pulling that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: one out who. This show is how language has evolved,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: alongside empathy and science. You need your brain examined, all right,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: It's something our parents would say. My name is Erro
