1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,839 --> 00:00:07,160
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,519
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,640
Sometimes I think that Lockdown made us all crazy, this

5
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:17,239
binge watching thing. I have created such a bad habit

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,960
with it. And yet here's how I really feel. When

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,320
my wife and I sit down to have lunch together,

8
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:27,519
we binge watch a show. And it's not that we

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,760
have to have the television on. It's just something that

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,039
we can really relate with. Because during the lockdown, when

11
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:35,799
the world felt like it was falling apart, the one

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,359
thing that we had to create communication with were the

13
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:42,200
shows that we were binge watching. And so it's become

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,719
a part of our lifestyle to just have thirty minutes

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,840
and then we talk about the episode. We break it down.

16
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:51,359
How could we have done it a little bit better?

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,960
What would have been the twist here? Did they really

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,039
need to put that cliffhanger there? Just having a conversation.

19
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,039
Where does yours begin? Hey, Taro, this is the Daily Mess,

20
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:04,599
a chronological walk through in everyday world. I am a

21
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:08,719
daily writer, I am a silent wolf. I'm watching life.

22
00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:11,680
I study it. I take a lot of notes, and

23
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:17,040
we create conversations. This is the daily mess. When old

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,200
feels new, Hm, When old feels new, it almost feels

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,959
like a oxymoron. Right, every season of Scrubs has returned

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,200
to the streaming networks. These old shows, they're not rocking

27
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:35,560
my memories. In other words, I don't remember them, so

28
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:39,319
they feel brand new to me. I shared this with

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,200
Peter Biskin, a cultural critic and film historian. His new book,

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,959
Pandora's Box a brilliant book. It puts a lot of

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,200
attention on how streaming is having a tough time right

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,760
now trying to keep up with what They started talking

33
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,879
to him about Scrubs and Oranges the New Black, and

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,200
he simply replied, I am, I'm so sorry. Streaming companies

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,599
have to fill in the voids in the blanks, and

36
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,879
I have fallen right into that pit. I do wonder

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,960
if my parents felt the same way when cable TV

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,439
came into play and they were watching their old westerns

39
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:19,680
and black and white cop shows. All of those shows

40
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:23,639
once experienced were now on their TV set. Some of

41
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,319
them were still black and white, a few were colorized,

42
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,680
but they still had the old shows. And here's the

43
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:35,039
strangest thing about it. With us streaming things like Scrubs

44
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,159
and Oranges the New Black, does that mean that nobody

45
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:45,680
is buying as many Blu ray DVDs? Somebody is losing money.

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,520
I'm guilty watching these old shows. And I had to

47
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,800
do some research our people losing money because of these

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,719
streaming platforms, and the answer is yes, they are. It

49
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,159
was one of the things that was heavily talked about

50
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,759
with the writer stripe and the actors strike because they're

51
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,439
not making what they should be when it comes to

52
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,680
protecting their own pockets as the entertainers of our life,

53
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:14,280
how do we, as the viewers learn to respect the

54
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:17,919
actors and the writers, the directors, and the producers even more.

55
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,120
Now I have to deal with this because when streaming

56
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,159
hit radio all of a sudden, I had to give

57
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,319
everything away for free. It didn't belong to me. And

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,599
when I place it on a platform, they can do

59
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:32,560
whatever they want with it, make as much money as

60
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:35,199
they want, even though they are charging me to put

61
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:38,280
me on their platform. You got to have a lot

62
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,199
of magic and a lot of something to make that money.

63
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:43,759
And musicians are going through it as well with the music,

64
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:49,240
streaming changed their entire platform because we all want music free,

65
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,360
we all want podcasts free. This is not a guilt trip.

66
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:54,800
I'm just trying to understand the relationship and the connection

67
00:03:56,039 --> 00:04:00,439
of when things that are old feel new. Those that

68
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:04,039
are ahead of streaming are playing with our emotions. They're

69
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,360
giving to us what we think is free. But if

70
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,080
you've looked at how much you're paying for that app

71
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,639
every month, and now Disney is teaming up with Hulu,

72
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,519
what's next? How are we going to create the new

73
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,560
level of entertainment and the acceptance of what we're doing

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,040
to the industry of all forms of entertainment. We think

75
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:28,199
we're paying for it, but according to research, none of

76
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,720
these streaming companies are making one penny. Somebody's making money.

77
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,199
How do we have these shows and nobody is making money?

78
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,720
Do we go back to the Blu ray? What do

79
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:45,959
we do in the future so that all the actors,

80
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,839
all the directors and producers, everybody involved is making money.

81
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,120
I'm ryl and that's the daily mess
