  Speaker 1: It's about having fun, having that escape, that one place
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: where you can go and just be you or just
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: be the adventure that you would like to be. Arrow.net,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: 21 different podcasts for you to choose from. You know,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: those moments in the car where you go, eh. I'm
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: tired of this kind of bull. I need something that's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: going to be fresh and engaging. Arrow.net, 21 different podcasts. A-R-R-O-E.net.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Don't you love those moments when somebody
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: comes up to you and says something and it's like,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: where did that even come from? There's a big chance
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it came from hundreds of years ago. Yeah, those things
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that your family and friends usually came up with and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they came from out of nowhere. And they hardly, if ever,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: made sense. I mean, they had to start somewhere, right? Who, what, where, why, when,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and how? Some of those old sayings are not only ancient,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: but they still carry a powerful punch today. Something our
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: parents would say. My name is Arrow. Under the weather. Oh,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it is no hidden secret. This phrase totally comes from
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the days of sailing ships. When those on board felt sick,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: they were quickly told to go below deck. They were
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: literally under the weather because of the atmospheric conditions. Wind, rain, thunder, lightning,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and waves the size of skyscrapers. They, the sick... were
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: truly under the weather. And in those days, that was
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: seen as being very polite, much better than saying, oh
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: my God, I feel sick. The phrase first reached written
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: outlets in the early part of the 1800s. Under the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: weather softens the conversation. It reduces the stigma. I mean,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: nobody likes to admit, oh my God, I'm not feeling well.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I'm under the weather. It's also become a social signal. Employers,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: friends and family immediately understand the situation. Today, it's used
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: in several different frames of mind, such as meaning one
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is exhausted, mentally stressed out or even burned out under
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the weather. It reflects a broader truth about being a human.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Even if you've injured your arm, it's OK to say
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I'm under the weather. There's nothing like using a piece
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of maritime history more than 200 years old. I'm under
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the weather. Something our parents would say. My name is Arrow.
