  Speaker 1: I am so glad that you are here, whether you're
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: checking in with Chrome, Spotify, iHeart, or whatever digital platform
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: is out there. This is arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. This is a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: family of podcasts. It's a network for you to choose from,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to go from this to that
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to that to this, upside down, right side up, arrow.net.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We're trying to make it so much easier for you
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to Because I know what our attention span is really like.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey, it's me, that
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: question guy. You know, the dude that's always asking questions
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: because it's so much fun to start researching for answers.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: For instance, is there a difference between judgment calls? When
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you tell someone they suck versus telling somebody they blow.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Which is worse, blow or suck? Plus, what is the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: average age for kids today to fly the nest? You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to break free of their parents. My name is Arrow.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I happen to call it the daily mess. It is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a chronological walk through an everyday world. It is my
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: daily writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: as people tend to throw things to the side because
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we think we're going to deal with it later on.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You know how to end that? Jot down a note
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: for your future self. Trust me, it's going to be fun.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: TV's boring, the binge watch sucks, you know how it is.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You're looking for something to do? Research a thought that
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: entered you. When a subject arrives inside of me, it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: but by doing the research... The picture is always going
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to become clearer. This is the Daily Mess. Is one
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: better than the other? Telling somebody they suck or saying
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you blow? The idea came to me while watching Tracy
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Morgan on the TV show The Fallen Rise of Reggie Jenkins. Well,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what team you're batting for. Both phrases
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: are equally effective when conveying you suck versus you blow.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You Suck gets to slow dance with multiple layers. It's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a sharp, harsh insult. But if the tones aren't spot on,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: You Suck can actually flop right there on its impact. Hmm.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So what's up next? You blow? It means pretty much
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the same thing as you suck. The reason why it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: not used today is because it sounds very dated, too
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: old for daytime use. The oldest of the not-so-kind phrases
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: is you blow. It first started perking up in our
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: homes of togetherness because it fits so well with other phrases.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: It's no hidden fact how fast languages change in culture.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It was in the late 1980s and 90s that it
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: loosened up a bit and delivered a jerk type of feeling.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing going more south than somebody who
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: tells you you're a jerk. You suck. Oh my God.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Can you feel it? Well, what happened is, is that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we started to become numb to those descriptions. It almost
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: feels like we should laugh something like this off when
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: somebody does say, you suck. It's like, yeah, yeah. I mean,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: we even use those words when we're playing digital games.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You suck, dude. And do you really mean it? Probably not.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: See what I mean? We've all become numb to it. Hey,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: coming up next, what is the new average age for
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: young adults to fly free from the nest to break
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: free of their parental figures? Hey, thanks for coming back
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to The Daily Mess. What is the new average age
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: for young adults to fly free of their parental nest?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, to anybody, is this a shock that this
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: is going on? I mean, there is so much taking
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: place outside the four walls of our parents' homes. And
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it includes, oh, the cost of living in general. Well,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the average age of moving out of the parental home
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is about your late 20s. Be it, you know, a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: little bit more clear, about 26 to 28. How and why? Well,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: because studies show if you leave home between 21 and 25,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: there is a huge chance that you're going to be
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: moving your butt back in. It's a much different story
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: at 26 because slowing down the process today is housing costs.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: So at 26, you're a little bit more situated. Student
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: loans and career changes are all over the place right now.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Why would you want to take on the world? Look
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: at what we are doing with wages and how our
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: careers are not growing. Why would you leave the parental figures?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But whatever happens, this is no longer the Brady Bunch moment.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: In fact, I was sitting here thinking, did Greg, Marsha
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: or Jan ever move out? I mean, every show that
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I saw after their seasonal things on national TV, they
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: were always singing together. They were always in the same house.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: But did anybody ever move out? Staying home is an
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: everybody thing. What if the house is already full, though? Oh, crap.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: The next best thing is to move toward friends or
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: extended family members. Instead of moving home, you can always
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: get a roommate, which can be worse than living with
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: your brothers and sisters. If it really gets bad, your
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: mom and dad are not going to open the door
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: by saying, voila, come on in. You got to know
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that your decision is not a sense of failure. But
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you're trying to grow into the image that you foresee.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: But it's going to take work. And a big decision
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to make is to fly free of the parental nest.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It's going to be tough. You've got to be persistent.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You've got to keep your eye on the time. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you've got to learn how to work with others through
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: collaboration in order to work well with the self that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you are. I'm Errol, and that's The Daily Mess.
