Speaker 1: Hey, we're trying out a brand new show on Arrow
0:01
Speaker 1: dot net. It's featured on several different podcasts. It's called
0:05
Speaker 1: Music's Lost History. You know the songs, but do you
0:09
Speaker 1: know the story. I mean, that's the kind of stuff
0:12
Speaker 1: that we used to rush to Rolling Stone magazine for
0:14
Speaker 1: and every now and then old style terrestrial radio would
0:17
Speaker 1: give us a little shot in the arm two about
0:18
Speaker 1: our favorite songs. Music's Lost History only on Aro dot
0:23
Speaker 1: net Aroe dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Het'es me that
0:29
Speaker 1: question guy? That dude that's always asking questions not to
0:32
Speaker 1: drive his parents crazy, but I enjoy doing the research
0:35
Speaker 1: to locate answers. For instance, is it wrong to laugh
0:40
Speaker 1: at ourselves? They say the joker had a mental issue?
0:44
Speaker 1: Are we one and the same while belly laughing about
0:47
Speaker 1: something we've done? Plus? What if we enjoy making ourselves laugh?
0:53
Speaker 1: My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
0:56
Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
1:00
Speaker 1: and activate. I happen to call it the Daily Mess
1:03
Speaker 1: because it's a chronological walk through an everyday world. It
1:06
Speaker 1: is my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
1:09
Speaker 1: We as people tend to throw things to the side
1:12
Speaker 1: because we're gonna deal with it later on. I said,
1:15
Speaker 1: it's what I write in the morning. You see what
1:16
Speaker 1: I mean. Whenever I've got that urge, grab that paper,
1:20
Speaker 1: put it down, Come on back when you're in the
1:23
Speaker 1: mood for it. Okay, when a subject arrives inside of me,
1:26
Speaker 1: it's time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
1:30
Speaker 1: but by doing the research, the picture is always going
1:34
Speaker 1: to become clearer. This is the daily mess. Is it
1:38
Speaker 1: wrong to laugh at yourself? The good news is it's
1:41
Speaker 1: a true sign of confidence and resilience. Laughing at yourself
1:46
Speaker 1: helps you cope with your mistakes and your awkward moments. Lord,
1:49
Speaker 1: have mercy, I've got enough of those. It also shows
1:52
Speaker 1: others that you really don't take life too seriously. All
1:57
Speaker 1: this while reducing stress. One mental health pro lays out,
2:02
Speaker 1: laughing at yourself makes it easier to learn from your setbacks,
2:06
Speaker 1: leading you away from the dwelling. Oh, we've made it
2:11
Speaker 1: this far. Can we just quit thinking negative and put
2:14
Speaker 1: ourselves in a laughing situation where we can let even
2:17
Speaker 1: more go. After a normal moment of laughter, you should
2:22
Speaker 1: literally ask yourself if you feel lighter or do you
2:25
Speaker 1: feel worse about yourself. If that's the case, it might
2:29
Speaker 1: be a good idea to send out an invitation in
2:32
Speaker 1: the way of gathering stronger and more focused mental help.
2:36
Speaker 1: Outside of that, laughing at yourself can be one of
2:39
Speaker 1: the healthiest ways to keep life's ups and downs in perspective.
2:43
Speaker 1: That is, if the laughter is coming from a true
2:46
Speaker 1: source of acceptance and not an act or self contempt.
2:51
Speaker 1: This goes totally against what I was taught inside the
2:53
Speaker 1: ranks of terrestrial radio. I've got decades of program directors
2:58
Speaker 1: and radio station consulting who told me stop laughing on
3:03
Speaker 1: the air. You look like and sound like your nervous
3:07
Speaker 1: You need to stop laughing. Oh how true is that?
3:14
Speaker 1: That's our subject coming up next. Hey, thanks for coming
3:18
Speaker 1: back to the daily mess. What if you truly really
3:21
Speaker 1: enjoy making yourself laugh? Is it out of nervousness? Guess what?
3:27
Speaker 1: My radio station program directors and consultants were one hundred
3:32
Speaker 1: percent right. Be aware of those around you who seem
3:38
Speaker 1: upbeat and filled with laughter. It actually could be their
3:41
Speaker 1: way of dealing with anxiety and stress. It's also very
3:45
Speaker 1: common when someone around you is embarrassed and they're sitting
3:50
Speaker 1: very uncomfortably in a situation. I watch a lot of comedians,
3:54
Speaker 1: and comedians do a lot of laughing at themselves, tossing
3:57
Speaker 1: that thought out there and then they laugh. Is it
4:00
Speaker 1: confidence or is it nervousness? I've seen the President chuckle
4:04
Speaker 1: after one of his deep thoughts. He is genuine or
4:08
Speaker 1: he's not. It's nervous behavior. Which one is it? Let's
4:12
Speaker 1: put focus on comedians. Mental health leaders aren't buying into
4:16
Speaker 1: the laughter being that of nervousness. There's five things that
4:20
Speaker 1: it could be genuine amusement. Comedians use laughter to get
4:25
Speaker 1: people to laugh. It's highly contagious, like that of a yawn.
4:30
Speaker 1: Laughter from a comedian can be live stage, tiny club relief,
4:35
Speaker 1: or it can be right in front of you, just
4:37
Speaker 1: during a normal conversation when that joke lands, it lands.
4:42
Speaker 1: And let us all be reminded that it's also their
4:44
Speaker 1: performance style, the comedian, their persona, their sign of freaking
4:50
Speaker 1: out isn't possible. It's not anxiety. It's a comedian actually
4:54
Speaker 1: wanting to go deeper and inviting more people into their laughter,
4:59
Speaker 1: and not nervousness. They do go hand in hand. Many
5:02
Speaker 1: comedians will tell you that laughter and nervousness co exist.
5:09
Speaker 1: I'm MARYL and that's the daily mess.
