| 0:19.3 | Now here's a phrase that you've heard many many times before but I bet you didn't know that it had the history that it has because here's a phrase that has been around for a lot longer than all of us. |
| 0:35.3 | And it's this phrase right here, hot mess, hot mess. |
| 0:38.3 | Did you know that this phrase goes all the way back to the 19th century and back in the 19th century, in fact I'll let you guess what do you think in the 19th century a hot mess referred to? |

| 1:45.3 | Now when we talk about messes in this series, we're talking about all kinds of messes. |
| 1:48.3 | Financial messes, you've got yourself in a financial mess because of debt or something that was beyond your control and you say, oh my finances are a mess. |
| 1:55.3 | Maybe a family mess, you know marriage and going so well or you know it was going well for a while and then something happened and you got relational messes, you got health messes, some of you let your health go or maybe something beyond your control. |
| 2:07.3 | Or you look in the mirror and you say, oh I'm just a mess at some point wardrobe is not going to be able to compensate for this right. |
