yeah dude this uh this strike came up isn't it nice to not have to worry about
that yeah i feel
for them i hope they get the i think they'll i think it'll come around the sag
after strike
yeah right here negotiations cratered over ai streaming revenue sharing pay hikes
and more
can you get to that article just a little bit that's tough i did like what fran
dresher said
i thought it was pretty cool do you see her video the no the nanny yeah i used
to have a crush on
her oh who didn't dude it's a weird choice that she's the head of this how did
it become her well
the funny thing was a lot of people didn't know right yeah because like i've
always you get the
things in the mailbox that's like vote for this person you know and i always
try to vote for like
the crit you know i vote for like the wildest person to put in there because
sometimes they're
on there right you know it's like wendy williams yeah kanye yeah or robert fk jr
yeah let's put
somebody in there yeah it's really gonna make something happen yeah let's shake
it up oh here
we go frankly how far apart we are on so many things how they plead poverty
that they're losing
money left and right when giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their ceos
it is disgusting
shame on them they stand on the wrong side of history at this very moment
we stand in solidarity in unprecedented unity our union and our sister unions
and the unions around the
world are standing by us as well as other labor unions that's good that's
interesting huh i mean
i feel like she really kind of i feel like she you definitely feel what she's
saying yeah yeah they
got millions and they can't give the writers some i know the residuals thing is
a bummer
well i think and a lot of it goes back to just the history of people not
getting residuals you know it's like
that they don't have they didn't make any money from you know like you hear
that a lot about the
cast from like saved by the bell and stuff like that like yeah they were on
those hit shows right and
they didn't that it just wasn't part of their deals i know so i think a lot of
you have that old energy
that's built up so she went through all that right um the problem is on twitter
you have certain people
that come out against her and are like oh here's a millionaire you know trying
to say what uh what
the regular person wants and it's like but still somebody has to um somebody
has to speak up you know
yeah yeah and i think they'll be fine but that sucks to be a writer and just
like ah we're not gonna
we're not gonna pay you well also because a lot of the writers they work on
spec you know they do a
project first and bring it forward oh yeah so i think when you partner in the
fact they're doing
all of that work yeah and then which some of those things never lead anywhere
true how many friends
do we have that have probably written five scripts i've written three scripts i've
written a million
packets snl whatever tv show yeah and they just steal your jokes yes hey here's
my jokes like you never
hear back i know you actually have to sign a thing when you turn in a packet
that says hey
this is not yours anymore you send it to us and you're like that's that's my
best sketch i need
that let me shoot it if you're not gonna hire me it's on it really is man it's
such a um
it's a it's a sick business and there's never any accountability you don't know
once you send that
packet off what happens yeah and then now you have all these yeah you have a
lot of actors and i guess
they're um they're worried about ai which makes sense you know they're worried
about all of that
ai's getting good man i uh people send me jokes that they put an ai in my voice
and i'm like that's
pretty good that's better than anything i ever had also i'm a robotic guy who
tells jokes wow now ai's
taking my it's a good point huh yeah scary but i think maybe that's also one of
the reasons why people
want to come see something that's real hope you enjoyed that video and you can
watch another and
you can watch this one you can watch this one different options different
choices some guy just
brings you one option not this guy two options watch one this one or this one
