Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It really is about having fun, exploring, and finding things
out that you didn't know so you can say, oh, wow,
I can't wait to share this. It's what we do
on Arrow.net, 21 different podcasts, A-R-R-O-E.net. One of our big
ones right now is a thing called Music's Lost History.
You know the music, you know the artists, but can

(00:21):
you name them if I give you the hints? Name
them before we share them with you. Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy
your exploration. Hey, it's me, that question guy. You know,
the dude that's always asking questions because it's so much
fun to do the research for answers. Such as, why
does the thought of food take over our business day decisions? Hmm. Plus,

(00:48):
where in the big book, the Bible, does it show
that Jesus is slapping people upside the head? Really? My
name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I happen to call it the daily mess
because it's a chronological walkthrough in everyday world. It is
my daily writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas,

(01:11):
we as people tend to throw things to the side
because we think we're going to deal with it later on.
If you want to deal with it later on, you
got to jot it down. You got to take some
notes because you ain't going to be remembering it. When
a subject arrives inside of me, it is time to
dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This is the

(01:32):
daily mess. Why does the thought of food take over
our business day decisions? Does anyone ever get any work
done before lunch? Well, without a doubt, food is tied
to one of our brain's motivational settings. Your brain is
no different than your pet dog. The brain is always
locked in on getting that reward and immediate satisfaction. Believe

(01:56):
it or not, it does block out long-term considerations such
as finishing a task. Work still gets done, but the
brain is doing its own thing. It's checking in saying, uh-uh, uh-uh. Now,
it's not a lack of intelligence or motivation. It's a
competition to get whatever attention is available at the time. But, but, but,

(02:16):
but there is a difference between being hungry and being
preoccupied with food. Hunger is always going to be huge.
Hunger is also physical. Lunch is looked upon as being
a preoccupation. It is a learned habit, emotional response, or
the big reward. If you would like to change your habit,

(02:39):
it's time to interrupt that loop. You can do this
by using self-discipline in the way of creating and sticking
to a daily lunchtime. Don't get off the path. Always
change your environment. Plus, don't forget to ask your hunger
if it's thirst. What are you, dude? Are you really
hunger or are you thirst? It is a power nap,

(03:02):
not boredom. Something is making your love for food louder
and louder every day. But the question is, do you
turn it into a reward? Hey, coming up next, where
in the Bible, yeah, the big book, does it say
that Jesus slapped people upside the head? Hey, thanks for

(03:23):
coming back to The Daily Mess. Where in the big book,
the Bible, does it show that Jesus enjoyed slapping people
upside the head while shouting, healed? Uh-oh, this is a
human thing, right? All of these faith healers, and they
do that big whack. Jesus didn't do the big whack. Now,

(03:45):
sometimes he did some things to heal some people, and
it was very dramatic, but it wasn't a quick hit
upside the noggin. Jesus used his words like, your son
will live, John 4.50. The creative son also touched people
you'll find in the book of Mark. Oh, wait. There
was that time that Jesus put mud on that blind

(04:07):
man's eyes. How dare he? Plus, we can't leave out
that Jesus didn't hold back telling people to get up,
pick your mat up, and start walking. But no faith
healer in those days slapped somebody upside the forehead and said,
Then again, there was that time inside the temple Jesus

(04:29):
turned over all the tables and drove out the merchants.
That was one of those moments, right? Not really. No,
it wasn't a healed moment. That was just Jesus being Jesus.
Then again, we had Amy McPherson, a huge head-hitting faith
healer from the 1920s. I grew up watching Oral Roberts.
This is where all this is coming from. And I

(04:51):
was convinced as a kid that that's what everybody must do.
I mean, look at Benny Hinn. Here's the dude that
has people falling backwards. Not a big old southern swing.
It's just like boink right on the head and they
fall over. Boink. Boink! But Jesus didn't do that. Not
in this book. I'm Errol, and that's The Daily Mess.
