Speaker 1: I accept the fact that creativity is my 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. I'm going to start
things off with a simple question, and I would love
to give you enough space to where you might be
able to answer it. How long does fun and Funny last?
How long does fun and Funny last? Basically how many
times can we laugh at the same joke? First laughter
triggers the release of endorphins. Endorphins act as a temporary
relief of pain. But my question is how long does
fun and Funny last? Why do people endlessly watch Seinfeld
or Jim Belushi, old reruns of Johnny Carson, Letterman, and
even the constantly negative but funny Bill Maher. In radio,
we were always taught that most listeners only catch ten
percent of what you're sharing. It's the sound of our voice, pitch, volume,
and tone, not the jokes that keep people coming back.
Although I don't laugh with Jim Belushi, the laugh track
keeps me in a mindset of positive feelings and if
the laughs get old. Like radio listeners, only ten percent
of me will allow the message to make my day. Hey,
it's Zaro. This is the daily Mess, a chronological walkthrough
in everyday world. I am a daily writer, a silent
wolf that sits underneath the brush and I just watch,
I study, I write about it, and then I bring
it to you, sharing what is moving constantly in our lives.
This is the daily Mess. One of the things that
I find interesting in the formatics of a successful sitcom
is how the writers rely so much on creating conflict.
Sitcom husbands and wives or brothers and sisters are always
locked in on some sort of verbal struggle. Look at
the TV show Married with Children, or even All in
the Family. Al Bundy and Archie Bunker were restless with
life and those around them. It was okay to have
an angry voice. I mean, Roseanne Barr prove that true,
but not being Edith Bunker or Carol Brady. Sitcoms aren't
fan favorites because of the plot. Oh no, we tune
in for the characters that are featured on the sitcom.
How I Met Your Mother was a dorky show. Neil
Patrick Harris made Barney Stinson the everyday real guy that
became the guy you loved and the guy you hated sitcoms.
They're watching us. The writers are writing about it, and
they're making it relatable the characters, not the storyline, the characters.
You see how important writing is and can you imagine
what your life would be like if you would take
a day or maybe even once a week, make it
on a Sunday or the first day of the week,
and just put ink on a page. Find what is
fun and funny, but don't try to do it. Just
allow it to happen, to bring things into the core
of what you're going through in your everyday world, to
maybe one day, five months from now, five years from now,
to look back and go, oh my god, what a dork.
H'm Maril And that's the daily mess.
