1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,799 Speaker 1: I accept the fact that creativity is my addiction unplugged 2 00:00:03,799 --> 00:00:07,240 because we will always say yes to creativity totally uncut 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,039 because we all make mistakes. So let's turn it into 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,880 a tool. This is Arrow unplugged. I'm going to start 5 00:00:12,919 --> 00:00:15,400 things off with a simple question, and I would love 6 00:00:15,439 --> 00:00:17,839 to give you enough space to where you might be 7 00:00:17,839 --> 00:00:24,320 able to answer it. How long does fun and Funny last? 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,359 How long does fun and Funny last? Basically how many 9 00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:34,119 times can we laugh at the same joke? First laughter 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,560 triggers the release of endorphins. Endorphins act as a temporary 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,280 relief of pain. But my question is how long does 12 00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:47,799 fun and Funny last? Why do people endlessly watch Seinfeld 13 00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:52,079 or Jim Belushi, old reruns of Johnny Carson, Letterman, and 14 00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:56,960 even the constantly negative but funny Bill Maher. In radio, 15 00:00:57,079 --> 00:00:59,679 we were always taught that most listeners only catch ten 16 00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:05,120 percent of what you're sharing. It's the sound of our voice, pitch, volume, 17 00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:08,719 and tone, not the jokes that keep people coming back. 18 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,959 Although I don't laugh with Jim Belushi, the laugh track 19 00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:16,359 keeps me in a mindset of positive feelings and if 20 00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:20,200 the laughs get old. Like radio listeners, only ten percent 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,680 of me will allow the message to make my day. Hey, 22 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,879 it's Zaro. This is the daily Mess, a chronological walkthrough 23 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,480 in everyday world. I am a daily writer, a silent 24 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,040 wolf that sits underneath the brush and I just watch, 25 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,680 I study, I write about it, and then I bring 26 00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:43,319 it to you, sharing what is moving constantly in our lives. 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,280 This is the daily Mess. One of the things that 28 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,680 I find interesting in the formatics of a successful sitcom 29 00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:55,560 is how the writers rely so much on creating conflict. 30 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,680 Sitcom husbands and wives or brothers and sisters are always 31 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:03,079 locked in on some sort of verbal struggle. Look at 32 00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:05,400 the TV show Married with Children, or even All in 33 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:09,199 the Family. Al Bundy and Archie Bunker were restless with 34 00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:12,560 life and those around them. It was okay to have 35 00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:15,639 an angry voice. I mean, Roseanne Barr prove that true, 36 00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,840 but not being Edith Bunker or Carol Brady. Sitcoms aren't 37 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,560 fan favorites because of the plot. Oh no, we tune 38 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,000 in for the characters that are featured on the sitcom. 39 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,479 How I Met Your Mother was a dorky show. Neil 40 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,319 Patrick Harris made Barney Stinson the everyday real guy that 41 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,280 became the guy you loved and the guy you hated sitcoms. 42 00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:46,680 They're watching us. The writers are writing about it, and 43 00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:51,960 they're making it relatable the characters, not the storyline, the characters. 44 00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,360 You see how important writing is and can you imagine 45 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,240 what your life would be like if you would take 46 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,960 a day or maybe even once a week, make it 47 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,520 on a Sunday or the first day of the week, 48 00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:06,879 and just put ink on a page. Find what is 49 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,439 fun and funny, but don't try to do it. Just 50 00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:15,080 allow it to happen, to bring things into the core 51 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,280 of what you're going through in your everyday world, to 52 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,639 maybe one day, five months from now, five years from now, 53 00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:25,080 to look back and go, oh my god, what a dork. 54 00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:28,400 H'm Maril And that's the daily mess.
