Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's actually been one of the greatest adventures to create
- 0:02Speaker 1: a network of podcasts that give you the power of
- 0:05Speaker 1: choice because I know what it's like to be in
- 0:07Speaker 1: the front seat of your car and the podcast that
- 0:09Speaker 1: you checked into when you took off from house was like,
- 0:11Speaker 1: Oh God, this again, I think I've heard this before.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Where am I going to go? Well, instead of hitting
- 0:17Speaker 1: every single platform that's available to man, just go to
- 0:20Speaker 1: one place, arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration. Come on now,
- 0:27Speaker 1: we're all stuck saying it, and most of the time
- 0:29Speaker 1: we sit there and say, what did I just say?
- 0:31Speaker 1: Let me go to ChatGPT and find out what I
- 0:33Speaker 1: just said. You know, those things that family and friends
- 0:36Speaker 1: usually share with each other, and they come from out
- 0:38Speaker 1: of nowhere? Those old sayings, phrases, or idioms? The thing is,
- 0:42Speaker 1: is that there is a who, what, where, why, when,
- 0:45Speaker 1: and how. Some of those old sayings are not only ancient,
- 0:48Speaker 1: but they still carry a powerful punch today. This is
- 0:52Speaker 1: something our parents would say. My name is Arrow. This
- 0:57Speaker 1: one dips all the way back to the 1700s. Turned
- 1:01Speaker 1: its ugly head. Now, the original phrase was rear its head,
- 1:05Speaker 1: which referred to snakes, monsters, and other dangerous animals. When
- 1:09Speaker 1: society added the word ugly to the moment, it repainted
- 1:13Speaker 1: the phrase to symbolize things that are very unpleasant, threatening,
- 1:18Speaker 1: or unwanted. When something that's been hidden away suddenly becomes
- 1:22Speaker 1: visible and totally impossible to ignore. It turned its ugly head.
- 1:27Speaker 1: It's actually identified as being shorthand, a way of talking
- 1:31Speaker 1: about a recurring problem instead of flat out laying out
- 1:34Speaker 1: an old problem. It appeared again, and it started causing troubles.
- 1:39Speaker 1: It turned its ugly head. This is a classic example
- 1:43Speaker 1: of how a person personifies a problem. Who isn't ready
- 1:48Speaker 1: to openly talk about fear, greed, prejudice, addiction, and conflict?
- 1:52Speaker 1: It is said that it's a living creature and or
- 1:55Speaker 1: a monster. These mental creations that live inside and hide
- 2:00Speaker 1: within each and every one of us. But the question is,
- 2:02Speaker 1: are we waiting? And then we're suddenly reacting when it reemerges.
- 2:07Speaker 1: It turns its ugly head. This is exactly why the
- 2:11Speaker 1: phrase has lasted over 300 years. It creates a vivid
- 2:15Speaker 1: picture of trouble. It's always showing up when you least
- 2:19Speaker 1: expect it. It turns ugly. It's ugly head. Something our
- 2:24Speaker 1: parents would say. My name is Arrow.
