Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. Unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Wow,
this is one of those mornings where I am so
glad that this microphone does not come with eyes. Oh
my god, we've got huge rainstorms predicted for our area
of the world. Science says that it does affect our
emotions deeply. We are affected because of a lack of sunshine.
That giant ball of fire keeps the internal clock in check,
regulating when we sleep and when we wake. Now, being
that this is day number two of a predicted seven
to ten days of downpours, those in control of research
warn of workers and car drivers of being drowsy during
daytime hours. This actually has a name. It's called SAD
seasonal effective disorder, and there are several ways to move
through these storms to find the proper rest without becoming
depressed or angry. One of the things you need to do.
Their top tip is to tell yourself this isn't going
to last forever. Also, limit your television watching, create conversations
with neighbors, practice random acts of kindness. One of the
things that my wife Lee and I did was we
planted all types of plants in giant pots which sit
outside my writing window. On these gray, rainy days, I
tell myself that rain has a purpose. Those plants out
there wouldn't be if it wasn't for the rain. Let
it poor, Let it poor, let it poor. All of
that rain feeds these plants which wave at me every morning. Hey, Zara,
this is the daily mass, chronological walk through in everyday world.
I am a daily writer. I try to move through
these gray stormy days, adding up to what they're saying
ten days. Becoming aware of what triggers you helps you
understand why you are being triggered, and when you do that,
you're able to correct situations such as, hey, it's not
going to rain all day. In fact, as I look
outside the studio window right now, there is a ray
of light. There's a lot of gray, but there is
a ray of light outside the studio window, and that
gives me hope in sharing a message. This is the
daily mess. So I got asking, I'm sure I'm gonna
step on a lot of people's toes. Why are there
so many superhero television shows and movies I mean, every
time we turn around, there's something new. They predicted that
The Flash would make seventy five million dollars opening weekend.
Well it didn't, but it didn't stop fans of Marvel
and DC from attending the Heroes Convention in Charlotte last weekend.
Oh they came. They brought their game, dressed up or not.
They were living the event like a lifetime experience. Now
let's dig into this, okay. Experts say there is a
human need for superheroes that we believe that it's the
reattraction of a full continuation, and it's being fed by
the writers and storytellers who've creatively opened a brand new,
wide open world of multiple universes. They're teaming up with
heroes in a way that no other generation has ever experienced,
adding fuel to that creative fire CGI technology. It turns
those worlds into an outreach that says, oh, this is
so real, But do you know the real reason why
any of this even started? The time between nineteen thirty
and nineteen forty, people needed an embodiment of reassurance, and
as we near that one hundred year mark, look at
the world today, where is your reassurance? Let them play.
Is it really all about the money or is it
about story telling? And does it always have to be
about billions of dollars and the ability to fly? I
fly in my dreams, but I don't have any letters
on my chest. I jump over buildings, I go through
situation inside these dreams. Are they planted there because of
these superheroes? Because they've been with me my entire life?
Who do you see inside your dreams? Do you picture
yourself ever with these superpowers? Money's not a superpower. Money's
a pain in the ass because I know a lot
of people who have a lot of money and they
ain't happy. But are these superheroes happy with all that power?
Show me that story, because if you've seen the new Flash,
which I'm not going to spoil, but you're going to
see something that maybe could be a major first in
so many universal ways. I'm Eryl, and that's the daily mess.
