1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. Unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,639
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:10,039
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Wow,

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,800
this is one of those mornings where I am so

5
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:15,359
glad that this microphone does not come with eyes. Oh

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,719
my god, we've got huge rainstorms predicted for our area

7
00:00:18,719 --> 00:00:21,839
of the world. Science says that it does affect our

8
00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:26,280
emotions deeply. We are affected because of a lack of sunshine.

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,800
That giant ball of fire keeps the internal clock in check,

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,640
regulating when we sleep and when we wake. Now, being

11
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:37,039
that this is day number two of a predicted seven

12
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,880
to ten days of downpours, those in control of research

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,000
warn of workers and car drivers of being drowsy during

14
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:48,560
daytime hours. This actually has a name. It's called SAD

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,560
seasonal effective disorder, and there are several ways to move

16
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:57,039
through these storms to find the proper rest without becoming

17
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:00,560
depressed or angry. One of the things you need to do.

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,520
Their top tip is to tell yourself this isn't going

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,840
to last forever. Also, limit your television watching, create conversations

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,879
with neighbors, practice random acts of kindness. One of the

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,599
things that my wife Lee and I did was we

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,000
planted all types of plants in giant pots which sit

23
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:25,040
outside my writing window. On these gray, rainy days, I

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,200
tell myself that rain has a purpose. Those plants out

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,719
there wouldn't be if it wasn't for the rain. Let

26
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,920
it poor, Let it poor, let it poor. All of

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:41,079
that rain feeds these plants which wave at me every morning. Hey, Zara,

28
00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:43,680
this is the daily mass, chronological walk through in everyday world.

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,040
I am a daily writer. I try to move through

30
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:50,680
these gray stormy days, adding up to what they're saying

31
00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:55,799
ten days. Becoming aware of what triggers you helps you

32
00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:59,840
understand why you are being triggered, and when you do that,

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,359
you're able to correct situations such as, hey, it's not

34
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,000
going to rain all day. In fact, as I look

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,760
outside the studio window right now, there is a ray

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,199
of light. There's a lot of gray, but there is

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,879
a ray of light outside the studio window, and that

38
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,199
gives me hope in sharing a message. This is the

39
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,159
daily mess. So I got asking, I'm sure I'm gonna

40
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:22,280
step on a lot of people's toes. Why are there

41
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:24,919
so many superhero television shows and movies I mean, every

42
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240
time we turn around, there's something new. They predicted that

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,080
The Flash would make seventy five million dollars opening weekend.

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,319
Well it didn't, but it didn't stop fans of Marvel

45
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,360
and DC from attending the Heroes Convention in Charlotte last weekend.

46
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,039
Oh they came. They brought their game, dressed up or not.

47
00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:45,599
They were living the event like a lifetime experience. Now

48
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:49,319
let's dig into this, okay. Experts say there is a

49
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,639
human need for superheroes that we believe that it's the

50
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,080
reattraction of a full continuation, and it's being fed by

51
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,560
the writers and storytellers who've creatively opened a brand new,

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,159
wide open world of multiple universes. They're teaming up with

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,840
heroes in a way that no other generation has ever experienced,

54
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,960
adding fuel to that creative fire CGI technology. It turns

55
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:18,120
those worlds into an outreach that says, oh, this is

56
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,120
so real, But do you know the real reason why

57
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,319
any of this even started? The time between nineteen thirty

58
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:31,719
and nineteen forty, people needed an embodiment of reassurance, and

59
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:34,759
as we near that one hundred year mark, look at

60
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:43,000
the world today, where is your reassurance? Let them play.

61
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:46,280
Is it really all about the money or is it

62
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:49,360
about story telling? And does it always have to be

63
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,400
about billions of dollars and the ability to fly? I

64
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,919
fly in my dreams, but I don't have any letters

65
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,639
on my chest. I jump over buildings, I go through

66
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:04,599
situation inside these dreams. Are they planted there because of

67
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:07,960
these superheroes? Because they've been with me my entire life?

68
00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:11,919
Who do you see inside your dreams? Do you picture

69
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,160
yourself ever with these superpowers? Money's not a superpower. Money's

70
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,040
a pain in the ass because I know a lot

71
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:20,720
of people who have a lot of money and they

72
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,360
ain't happy. But are these superheroes happy with all that power?

73
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,600
Show me that story, because if you've seen the new Flash,

74
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,279
which I'm not going to spoil, but you're going to

75
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:36,800
see something that maybe could be a major first in

76
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,079
so many universal ways. I'm Eryl, and that's the daily mess.
