1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,719
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,039
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:16,760
Hurricane Idalia. I don't know where you are in the

5
00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:19,239
history books. You could be several years down the road

6
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:23,559
or somewhere in next week. But Hurricane Adalia is about

7
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:25,600
ready to hit the southern section of our great nation.

8
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:29,559
And Franklin is knocking on our door as well, a

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,679
one two punch from Mother Nature. A very good friend

10
00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:35,520
of mine posted on Facebook the other day how God

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,960
will use fire to end the planet, not water. He's

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,000
already done that like in Noah's day. He said, I'll

13
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:43,759
never do that again. You got my guarantee. Well, look

14
00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:48,159
at what's happened to Hawaii, California, Canada. Am I being

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,200
a Debbie Downer here? Or what? What can we learn

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,679
from these current situations? One presidential candidate says the idea

17
00:00:55,759 --> 00:00:59,399
of halting the use of fossil fuels is wrong. As

18
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:03,640
a human red we need to adopt the conditions. We

19
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:06,680
have to adopt the conditions. That's what he believes. Not

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,400
to get political, but this isn't a Hollywood movie where

21
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:14,200
in the sequel the town has been rebuilt like nothing

22
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:16,760
went wrong. I mean, look at Hollywood right now. Look

23
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:18,640
at the fires and the floods that are going on there.

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,280
The writers and actors strike. You know, those movie theaters,

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,120
they're already hurting because of the COVID lockdown. We adapted

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,599
to the conditions of that lockdown, and look at what happened.

27
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,480
They continued to create shows that we turned into a

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,560
great binge watch. But we got to truly understand what's

29
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:40,400
going on with the nature of the entertainment world, and

30
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:43,799
that is we have no writers, we have no actors.

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,239
We depended on binge watching to get us through those

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:56,120
bad conditions. We don't have that anymore. Debbie Downer, right man, Hey, Sarah.

33
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:58,599
This is the daily Mess, a chronological walk through in

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040
everyday world. I am a daily writer. I love to

35
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:04,879
look at the world and try to take little pieces

36
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:07,040
from it and say, WHOA, I don't know if that's

37
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:09,120
the piece of the puzzle that needs to go there,

38
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,520
Do not force it, but let's just look at it

39
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,759
and see why does it look like it should But

40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,039
it's not going in there too easily. This is the

41
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,000
daily mess. So what is the talk today anyway? You know,

42
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:24,360
the one true conversation that connects several different circles of people.

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,439
There's a lot of talk going on, but not so

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,240
much in the shape of being united. We've chosen to

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,039
take sides. It's become acceptable to think what you believe,

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,599
and we believe it's the only way. Too often, I mean,

47
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,479
what's happened to the idea of having a real conversation

48
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:46,719
without selling what you're trying to push? News networks and

49
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,879
talk radio want their people numbers to go up, So

50
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,840
what they do is they shape their programming to go

51
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,199
into a certain group of people, and those of us

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,240
who don't agree will go in there just to see

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,400
if we're gonna get pissed or not. We do we do,

54
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:03,120
We go in there for the reaction of it all,

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,240
the instigator, the fire starter. What's happened to the listener

56
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,360
to the viewer, Oh, you know what's going on, you

57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,280
just don't want to talk about it. Mental health issues

58
00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:18,919
are through the roof and all time high, and it's

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,800
poisoning every one of our bodies. And then the thought

60
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,879
of going to the doctor. Yeah, we can get you

61
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,400
in in about two to three months. Oh, we are

62
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:32,800
a cracked generation, not broken, but close to it. Right now.

63
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,319
The only thing that's truly broken is the road. We

64
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,759
need to get back to physically having a talk. To

65
00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:48,400
stop seeking a confrontation. Let's begin an active listening. You

66
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:52,120
hear that silence, that's me trying to hear you. Speak up.

67
00:03:53,039 --> 00:04:00,199
I'm still listening. Come on, say something. What is the

68
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,919
talk today, the one conversation that connects several different circles

69
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:10,159
of people. What is the talk today? And are you

70
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:14,120
seeking a confrontation? You better believe what I believe. If

71
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:16,240
you don't believe what I believe, I will make sure

72
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,519
that you one day believe what I believe. No, huh no, no.

73
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:23,879
You see what's going on in the world. We don't

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,160
need any more of that, and it's going to take

75
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,199
us to find some peace. P E A c E,

76
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,680
not p I E C E s P, says him Merril,

77
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,839
And that's the daily mess.
