At first, let's get into it what a week
we now go live as president trump begins. His twenty twenty five state of the union address global curly donald trump. That's right!
On monday, Donald trump flew from floor to new york for his arraignment in Manhattan. Courthouse he's just about take off on that

like when the mayor acts like he's like the city's dad you're, not you're, just the mere paper road, it's unclear, marginal agreed wants to come here and get freaky. That's what you should do. I don't like it, but it's a free country. For now it's unclear of green agreed to respect the mayor's wishes. All
How is she stepped off the plane ripped? The cork out of a bottle of scotch and said: hey, it's january, six o clock somewhere later marginal agreed, took aim at the fifth character and sex in the city herself. I compared to what I called Gotham city: that's streets are felt being there
covered with people basically dying on DR. They can't even stand up their falling over there's so much crime in the city. I cannot comprehend how people live there sixty minutes, but it's a fool interview about how fucking stupid it is too

the former president not to publicly comment on its case that he jeopardize the rule of law. Trump flew back to florida and immediately did it anyway. Giving this

Senator linsey grand went on fox news to make an impassioned plea for viewers to give as much money to trump is possible, but you need to help this man Donald J, tromp, they're, trying to

will to drain him dry. He wouldn't be in this mess. Meanwhile, the washington post reported that the d o J has evidence that trump obstructed their investigation into his handling of classified documents. Allegedly, they have evidence that he personally went through
Is it the classified documents after receiving the d o j subpoena in the case of chances, might be on video, which I cannot wait for that marks twice this week, trump has

It is a captive. The republican party has become too
our president, the republican national dimension has been moved from a walkie to rikers island on tuesday
liberal, judge, jotted protest, say: what's one wisconsin supreme court raise corner supreme court justice, Dan Kelly and giving liberals control of this data is court for the first time in fifteen years, and thank you to everyone at votes in america who volunteered and who donated to help, draw attention and resources to that race. It really made
difference. Brian witches car drop release. The cheese kurds said Dan Kelly and is busy little concession speech. I wish that in circumstances like this, I will be able see concede to a worthy
but I do not have a worthy opponent to which I can conceit,
You fuck.
so you're saying you was to someone who sucks you must be even
dogs should at your job than everybody thought.
It is amazing how much of our anti democratic backsliding is rooted in, like the ego wounds of men like this like this is why trump is the perfect avatar for the modern republican party. We can't lose because it's embarrassing, I don't have a joke, just the reality of our fucking
we in worse news about fifteen million people on medicate could lose their health insurance in the coming months. Now that our requirement that states not keep people off medicate during the covert pandemic has come to an end with the government declined of endemic over, we can finally get back to dying from every other kind of disease. Millions of people
who lose their medicaid coverage may still be eligible for it, but have to re and roll and in states that have
expanded medicate under the affordable care act. Hundreds of thousands could wind up in the coverage gap with incomes that are too high to qualify for medicaid but too low for subsidize coverage through a ce mark.
Places in case it was unclear what a fucking nightmare this is. There are currently ninety minutes.
people on medicate and the children's health insurance programme, roughly twenty million more than when the pandemic began, you look at the middle ages and think how could a surgeon also be a barbarian dentist in twenty twenty three, you waiting, seven months for an appointment with that person and he stopped taking your insurance in january.
Two dark. Nobody is talking about this medicate store. I feel like I'm in outer space, if you like it, I should be a bigger news. That's why
is it a little boring you bet it is. Is it less cool than the trump arraignment? Of course it is, but that's why we're in this mess jobs? I applaud that we don't go for clapped her here. We go

past. The fairness in women's sport tact taking over the decision from districts and leagues to ban trans girls from sports at public schools and colleges in the state are political process is imperfect, but every now and then one hundred twelve americans put their differences aside and come together for a common cause, crushing one teenagers dreams because of the one hundred and six thousand high school student athletes in cannes
There are currently only three trans girls competing at the high school level, two of whom are graduating this year, meaning
law currently targets, one,
single transgender teenage girl when reach for comment the one china
girl affected said. Oh no
it can't be on the track team. I'd even want to do track this year. My mom made me do it, so it doesn't even matter I was going to quit anyway. No one cool does track at my school. Get out of my room.
Not all teenage trans girls have to be heroes.
when it has generally this year how the law would be enforced. The republican to introduce legislation said it would happen during the student athletes sports physical, when it Democrat, pressed her on whether that means students will be subjected to
genital inspection. The lawmaker refused to answer, though the republican legislator was wearing this ominous shirt, for those were sitting at home is ways a female bodies.
Also, it turns out for more than twenty years supreme court justice clarence thomas has been secretly accepting luxury trips
doubtless billionaire a gb mega donor, harlin crow according to a new pro public, a story? Look I'm not like a literary scholar:
but I do know of you beat a well dressed man named Harlan crow and you enter into a deal with him. He is absolutely the literal devil and you just sold your soul for access to, and this is from the article, a life size, replica of hatreds, hut, bronze statue
of nomes and a nineteen, fifty style soda found where crows staff fixes milkshakes,
Then your annual trips, which thomas never disclosed in an apparent violation of ethics laws, have included international vacations on crows super yacht
flights and kroes, enormous private jet, a genre to bohemian grove together and ships to crows own ranch, a texas
private resort in the adirondacks, but that's basically it
I always thought it was strange that justice thomas's robot a huge crow holdings logo and place it on it. Like he's a nascar driver card,
thomas is out here just breeze and around the world, as if is some kind of atomic dresses crashed into gwen about John it's easy. Meanwhile,
is what thomas had to say about himself in public in a twenty twenty documentary. I dont have
problem with going to europe, but I prefer the united states and I prefer seeing the regular parts of united states. I prefer the ivy parks. I prefer the walmart parking lots to the beach
judges and things like that, there's something normal to me about it. I come from regular stock and I prefer that I prefer being around that after this statement. You know this guy has never been to a non billionaire beach because he had, he would know it. Does not.
More regular stock than a public beach on a saturday in august in the united states of america, america's beach
make walmart parking lots. Look like James bond monaco.
He also said all this: in a documentary funded
harlan crow,
so. This week the university of western australia announced that scientists had managed to film a snail fish in the unplugged ocean, trenches off japan, setting a new record for the deepest fish ever recorded here to weigh in on that discovery, it's the world's deepest fish
hey John or you can clearly no
I mean are any of us. Ok, John trot.
As we are immortal bodies with cruelty and injustice all around us on a do
planet that will one day be consumed by our dying son. What can ok?
even mean in these conditions. Well, that's pretty deep.
That now the red
Rather, it is a pity we gotta right where you wanna get it now, you going. What can I say, John I'm the deepest fish,
also succession is in its final see, then,
I'm just prematurely bombed about that being over,
You know what I mean, but everything ends. I suppose even this
so deeply solution. This is embarrassing. Women scientists are, they found the world's deepest fish. I just assume they met like physically. I'm also that
Physically and also profound, they found me more than eight thousand meters below the surface was pretty cool. You set a new record of excited and my excited about the latest expansion of the trends now
it's an surveillance day. Oh no fishing fish know about that. I swam to the depths of the pacific ocean reply.
Let's see John, I just wanted a quiet place to eat my plankton, a reflex.
on the nature of truth and beauty, but I
there's no way I loved you can go without some stranger filming
a slimy ass for a tick tock,
my question for you with your bullshit: do you have any clothes cigarettes?
Fine, you now I dont know what does anymore besides this, but you weren't, tik tok. I don't actually
I'm not on. There are more of a tumbler girly guy yeah. I just want to be left alone. Record's mean nothing to me
in is ephemeral. Who are we won't? We are being perceived. You know when we leave performance.
hide and confront our authentic selves on the ocean. Floor no lie, no reflection, nothing, but your condition. That's what I'm interested in god. Your do
I know the world's diverse fish, everyone thanks for stopping by the vicious murder or the world's deepest fish thanks for stopping by that went great in other distressing news.

I reassured myself. This is sixty minutes. Anti g is gonna. Get that business to detect it.
Unfortunately, while our interview or less stall push back at various pointed interview there was this moment. Democrats support
Joe Biden. The president himself supports children, beans,
actual eyes and having transgender surgeries sexual lies in children is what pedophiles, due to children,
and the segment dared to ask this question,
question for her and the country is, can she expand?
her brash empty g brand beyond the right wing populist space is the quest.
Is that the question leslie? Are you sure about that? Are sure about? That's? Why
and of course, green smear Democrats is pedophiles. That's what she does. That's like hiring scarlet your hands and to be in your movie and which he hands in a flat, aloof performance.

that I just drive across it. Just no no Y know
just go just go. I wish to and then
the parking garage would happen. While the black garage had the reserves space,
is the signs are in yellow case,
you can't. I don't see that well to begin with, which not a good thing to suggest what I'm dr here
and so I would pull into the space and realize we're fucked, there's a yellow god. Damn reserve sign there. You would put it in in a different color
I think that contrasting color it was like whispering
four times I pulled it spaces for two
and I don't back up that. Well, so, every time like mother fucker, it's another yellow reserve sign. You know if it's you
space by god, put your fucking name on it in big letters. This is a dream. Come true for me that you to just talk what's up yeah, what else is happening with you? Well, I did you know, because you you,
Send me the marjorie taylor, green interview, I'd heard people,
talking about it. I have to say it wasn't me
man is, I actually expected it to be over this
he wants to what I said that she pushed back at times, yeah, not a lot, and I'm not sure
that eye rolling works with marjorie taylor. Green eggs is not going to work on this woman. Yanks doesn't work with fascism, your enemy
more powerful weapon that a yanks? You know, I'm not sure about that. I just listened to a book
about mussolini. Anything
member of the ice was a powerful deterrent. Yet there was on it was ramos weakness.
He was then it couldn't figure out what to do with a yank. Was not captain I'll, tell ya somethin style and give them a ye gods out of their fears, or I remember above mussolini, it said that show
he was killed in the end by the partisans I believe, turned on him or something and he was held captive in a hotel for a little while
and then they put them in a truck one day with, I think three other captives and they drove them to the top of the hill and they, you know shot them. Then then they took Mussolini back down to the town square and they hung his dead body and the people were so angry with him that they
the dead body with sticks and they put dead mouse in his mouth. I just thought there was,
you're detail. Wasn't there also some dragging with their dragging involved by the legs?
I can't remember any longer: okay, here's the other thing. It said in the book. I have never heard anybody else say this, but I have not really talked about much lady to anybody, but you and I'm glad that you feel safe enough to do
Thank you for sharing this. May I do this in a really developmental time. For me,
one point that contacted his wife or girlfriend or whatever it was in. They asked her if she wanted it
I said I live in a small house- the I don't know where I would put it, and apparently the americans. I believe it was somehow a little sliver of his brain came to america because they had it. They were looking at a sliver of his brain on a microscopes
line, which I just think it's funny. What are you looking for him? Well, I'm ok! Ass! There is. There is your problem. I beg your brain was: where was up a global guy was a deck. Would you look at that same can't? Look before like I can't take a nice going with you,
this having developmental. Bravo, these are maybe act out alive. You can't just take a slice of their brand ago allocated asshole
I have to wait until the brighton's dead to look at the brain, but then it'll be in your hands. You can scan it, we've got scanning, but then back then about that not with mussolini back then they weren't an mri was illini. There was
exist now evaded
no matter. I realize you know, there's that that famous discovery albert einstein was famously said: hey leave my brain
and then he died or like you're dead, we're doing what we want.
did he say, leave my brain alone, I'm remembering a book. I read,
much longer ago than when you read the mussolini but yeah and as much as you're not covered at your mussolini knowledge, you'd army
it s, kind of solid ground with your eye by here's, my question. So when they looked at albert einstein, brain they are hoping they were going to see like other no extra stuff yeah, you know like wow, that's a brain right, their holy shit. No, that's not what happened it just look like a normal human brain could anybody's brain. What? If what we're dealing with here is the mussolini, brain and einstein brain.

First, interview we like to present and in others might seem implausible, is an interview. Leslie stall did with the faro from the book of exit as the actual pharaoh from the passover. Sorry Paul, are you ready? I am
you ve got some pretty radical views and a sharp tongue, but you ve some are managed to capture the
national limelight
on the role of a half human demigod who rules over your kingdom with an iron fist. Tell me, in the words of your political rival, who you ve, called a bush arsonists
This is why won't you? Let my people go, let my people go sounds like your average twitter trolling, my mentions, leslie. The the question is simple
you wish people love their ups building pyramids as jewish people famously kill it on the manual labor front, and while I don't pay them and hold them against their will, a lot of people are trying to cancel me because I'm a boss and no one wants to work anymore. Also, Moses is up at a file already then
what is the stall everyone
I do to pull a balance that will be that we come back. I don't got over here. He don't go anywhere more monitor, leave it becoming a lower level.

Yes,
explain why it's gill, member launch I've, read the pod walking to the stage Adam caught over.
I add on how the currency of now- wouldn't I wanna talk to you about this debate- is using a lot of people at home. Don't know it's coming. I think it's a very big deal yeah because it affects tv and that's the most
but before we get to that, there's something I need to tell you sure plea which is this. Over years of you coming on the show, I have taken a position
and this I've taken a position that I consider one of great nuance and intellectual honesty and one that required me to stand against the tide in a sense and the position was that
I understand that elon musk seems stupid, possibly be stupid
created these companies and been part of this incredible breakthroughs.
I respect and admire, and therefore, while his public persona seems like that of an
salute stone, cold, fuckin, moron dogmas,
be a persona behind the scenes. He must be smarter than that I've tried
to hold onto that
This is so valid lighting, cotton, kandian, a fucking, hurricane and Adam. I wanted to tell you,
personally onstage on a microphone. I cannot defend
his point of view at all. Yes, yes, and much as I came to learn when Ben Carson ran for president, that being a brain surgeon is easier than it looks yeah I have come to accept your position. No one could be smart and do what he has been doing to twitter dot com publicly over the last year, and I humbly say to you,
you win, I lose you were right. I was wrong and I'm sorry
and I'm sorry I'm sorry. I put you through that sorry I held out as long as they did. I I pick up on this
for years and every time about seven minutes through, I start yelling at you,
fucking idiot and this guy
say yeah, but the cars go fast.
Over and over again that it's got an ipad on the council. Did you see? Doesn't it at that, but the door fuckin falls I'll. Take linkage with incredible since he started a twitter all the tesla engineers have been sent,
like yeah, that's it. This is how he runs tesla to its the same shit and that's why the door
off the car all the time they happy or test the door follow the thing rattle
It feels like driving a mouse,
through the city
Is that you remember when he took over twitter and there was that image of the woman who, like was sleeping on the floor,
or with an eye mask in her office, going like it's random, get twitter, that's the people who buy your car, they are sleeping,
floor, the factory and praying that they have a job tomorrow. Every time I turn left something roles,
to the right of the spiritual. Some important bees moves and I can't
find it it's not in the area I can reach it like it. Abacus also
Let me just say we have important things to talk about, but let me just say people will tell me that tesla drivers that people have a test. So that's fine drive your fucking
but people say I love how fast it is
that acceleration of hidden that gas and gone you know what I feel is great for the driver. You know who it doesn't feel great for
the fucking passengers in the car ferries.
I think more nauseating.
Getting a ride in your friends. Tesla you're, like you're you're, you're, talking about a cool thing, you're doing a weird performance. Now, are you back on your again with you defending the car?
I'm just set under sharing my truth. I just
I just I was going to I'm going to throw out a term here which is called sore winner
the fucking weird yeah, we're the horses dead, glowing
So. Let's talk about this issue, so people who may not know that this is going on. So basically the dummy J has been in negotiations with studios about a contract out for a while. The dvd has just gone to all the writers and said: hey authorize us to do a strike
We need to were taking a strike authorise and by the way you said, I am a member and also on the board of directors and the negotiating committee. I should so I don't know I thought I saw you are you're you're in it, I'm getting your on the zooms. Yes, we were in negotiations for two weeks and actually we we're in negotiations yesterday, as we say that
but we're we're taking a strike. Authorization vote over the next couple of weeks, yeah, and so just so. People understand this is a vote that basically
all the members of the judiciary vote. These are all people, the right all the tv shows and I'm going to the movies so,
That's not all the judge, you let the good ones where you can make kind of a living if you're right for them.
And some of the advantages and that's an authorization, the basic legal
The negotiating committee. Have a bargaining chip to say, hey if you don't come to the table and make a deal that works for us, we're going to have to go on strike, correct yeah. So what are just so people understand what is at stake in the negotiation? What are the things that writers are pushing for
So the television industry and the the film industry over the move,
the streaming have transformed in ways that have dreamt
medically hurt everybody in hollywood from writers to directors to actors to cruise people might
even a year and a half ago, when I otzi see the crew union was negotiated. Last contract, though these
he's gonna social media has two. I stories about
crew members working eighteen hour days and being expected to come back. You uttered after five hours was asleep and stuff like that right. That's one impact
on writers, there's a bunch of different things that are impacting us. One of them is that the move to shorter seasons, it used to be that a television show was twenty or twenty six episodes and it would run for
couple of seasons: right now: it's like one season of eight may be two years later here, sir.
more and then it's cancelled right now. That's
Something we're trying to change, does not within our power to change, but along
with those changes, the studios have made the work
of writing much much more precarious for writers. So really good example of this is the greatest
I've got a mini room right, which is
labelling. Abstruse thing by
instead of you know, normally hey where we greenville television show hire a whole bunch of writers
pay them all the different rates we negotiate with them all individually and they're gonna be here for a couple of months
with many room, they say hey, we do want to make a pilot we just sort of want to get in
idea of what the season is. Gonna be like the one we just get
four writers together. Maybe three, maybe two at the low
raids. Everybody is making the literal minimum in the contract, and could you guys just like
breaker season, unlike right, maybe six episodes in six weeks- and you know just do that-
but for us, and then later within will green light it later and why
it's happening as people on whom in here, what what happens is a bunch of writers have come in and given the most valuable work, they can right. They broken entire season at that.
Or the characters in the story and all that, but they were paid the lois
possible rate, and then there are literally let go before the show even starts
goes to sat. None of them goes into the edit, none of them even work in
full writers room. They basically been turned from
People who previous
They would work from eighty six months or eight months on a show, unlike that made their year now, they're just there for two months
and they are making sure that they had to suddenly get another job really quickly. So that's like one problem that we have another problem, for example, is the kind of comedy I work in is under a country's go comedy, variety,
Women's late night, like what you're doing a little simulacra of here on your part, I gave you I gave you such a nice win
So actually, this is a good thing for Adam to ruin. I suppose the unbelievable that this is actually really good example. Let's say you do a wonderful show here. Let's say you go to netflix, let's see,
right, as you maybe might be thinking about doing one day and saying: hey we'd love to take love it or leave it put on netflix.
And we want to shoot it. You know what to do at once, a week or whatever, like John Oliver, or something like that. If you get it, I'm netflix under our current contract,
no comedy variety writer has a minimum salary like they could literally pay them. One dollar- and this is true-
shows that are on the right now TIM Robinson show the amber
often show on NBC, these people are paid much.
Less than anybody else, because there's no minimum and our country, they could be you one dollar a week and that's just something that is
The because streaming is new and they their gods to know we don't want to give you a minimum on that and screen
there is have who write movies have a whole other buncher problems, which I could really. If I went to a bunch of detail, so one
about all. This is like a someone using not hasn't.
And following closely because on I stop, writing undemocratic offer
rocketship yeah, I mean hey, you go beyond being a multi hyphenate. That's the way! That's what we call you yeah! That's the way to do it. That's the way I do it. I talk. I sit
so it's very clear that were kind of at the tail end of like some kind of a golden age of television right. There was a ton of shows greenland
there has never been more working writers than there are right. Now at this moment, is some asp
what's happening that basically it used to be
Thirty years ago you had far fewer shows and far fewer writers, but if you are on one of those shows you deal
better and now
many many more shows much more content being created, but it's basically flatter, and one consequence of that is that there is places where people just are doing as well.
But more people get to participate, there's a little bit of truth and what you're saying, but I think you overrate how important the change in the businesses, I think we're always exiting a golden age and moving into something new. You know you
You could say that the late nineties was a golden age, friends and seinfeld, and all these shows right. There are less shows, but they were so massively popular everybody in the country watched them. People made a ton of money, making them right, but then the peak tv era is what people generally call. The
sort of like cable, beginning of streaming era, where, like breaking bad madman, that kind of stuff right people started
less money, but there are more shows new, more artistic and now we're moving to something new right. We're moving to this sort of mass streaming era, where tv is kind of dying, it's very
It is a well that change in the business is what's causing things to be. Differences have to accept that and catch up with the times. That's not actually the.
It's because the business is always changing. What's happened. Is the companies have used that change in the business as an excuse,
to squeeze everybody to say: hey, we're we're not on tv anymore, we're on streaming now it's all new contracts and we're getting you a lot less because, oh, it's expire,
mental. We already know we're doing what they really doing. As the business affairs affairs departments, their hr departments are coming up with new ways to twist people's contracts or or employ them more precariously.
In order to reduce their compensation? So one of the main that you know we did a big state of the industry report and a video and one of the main things is over the last ten years, like company profits, have skyrocketed they're all claiming that they are losing money right. That's why I asked you about that yeah. So I don't have the figures right in front of me, but I believe their profits
by something like fifty percent over the last couple years: their profits not just their revenues and that's for, like all the
companies combined, you no wonder, but
discoveries having a bad year because they did their stupid, ass merger and there
taking all these right, downs and stuff, but their stock pray
is going up so like doesn't really are concerned. If you like, the entire industry, profits are going up median
Your pay has declined by twenty three percent over the last ten years we are making,
less money on average that goes from show runners all the way to all the way to staff writers. So when you look at that, you can't say
Well, oh, it's just some little change happen in the business and we need to readjust. They figured out how to fuck us better. That was
their plan and they did a great job and either
like all get together and plot a way to do it. It's just a one one department and one company figures out of you structure it. This way you can fuck the writers a little bit structure that way you fucked the directors a little bit and someone at netflix goes. Oh, that's a clever way to fuck people. Let's do that too, and it becomes a
in practice ripe and come up with all these different ways to do and we're trying to plug a bunch of those loopholes and establish standards that writers had, as recently as
ten years ago and say no. We we expect this to still be a business that centres massively profitable. We expect participate in that and to be able to build a fuckin lie.
if you write for a hit, show or even just a show that goes for a couple of seasons or even just a show that goes for one season. If you went for one season of television, a show that has an aggregate fifty male
and our hundred million dollar budget like you, should be able.
Live in los angeles. Yet you know you and that's right. You get to create one season of a perfect sick on that's cancelled because a fuckin politics you should be able to take that money which is more money than you ever out your whole life and live on it. Even
when you fall into a clinical depression that causes you to have a lost year.
Until a friend comes over your house and says: oh now, are we talking about?
You know this is a moment where you have companies like this.
The announcing massive layoffs it feels like there has been a shift and basically the economy feels more precarious. What is the lesson from what the Debbie J is trying to do here in a
author sands, right, like you, know, I've seen people sail. This is the wrong time to do this kind of a fight, but then, if everything was
maybe we'll say like? Why pick the fight now thing as their booming so
the one hand I understand the argument that I and I hear it from friends of mine that are like I'm really worried about this. It's not like things are so great. It feels like things are being greenlit like there were. It seems like we're coming out of a there's, a it's a precarious moment,
tree, but at the same time there is never a good moment. Have a fight like this. How do you think about that about approaching advocating for
writers and for greater share of the work that they're doing at a time when everyone seems to be pulling back, and it does seem to be a precarious moment, was
First of all, every three years we were negotiator contract every three years in every three years. They tell you that that things are going poorly,
one thing we have to recognize they do like. They literally give a speech, the producers, you know in the in the negotiating room. Do this every single time they give a speech. Things are going really bad right now, man! If, if
low, but better we could. We could pay us a more, but we are we just can't you know is like asking,
But if we re at a bad time
I was going to say that I think we need to recognise that the reason
companies are laying people off is because their stock price goes up. That's they're doing it, because wall street demands them to their, not
because things are going poorly, their numbers are going up every single year, like netflix, is acutely profitable company that's run by
you know back eighty its, but it is like this- and I say this as someone who were we lose income we pitch their right, am I add, on their package,
he are people that are doing their best love us airline bag of people. We admire and respect. Even if we have differences, I'm out I'll, take it. As you say, there is never a good time. The important thing
is the way that the writers go thinks about it, which is unfortunately unique among the hollywood unions is that we reserve the right to walk away from a bad.
Well right. If you've ever made a deal you're, you know, you've signed a contract. You know that if you're like, I don't really need this job. I could walk away from it right or or at least I'm willing to take the risk of walking away from it. Then that's leverage that you have, and if
Oh god, I really got to have their so ok, whatever you want, you know you, you have a worse deal, and so the riders guilt says we will walk in.
knowing and letting the companies know that if we don't get the deal we need, there is a level past which we say we are not willing.
work for less than this, and we're going to tell you what that is, and if you don't want to offer us or at least negotiate on that point, we're going to walk. You know, and I think that to do that is just a base
a form of dignity in yourself in the work that you have uniting that saying that all workers should,
All workers should feel able to do that right.
Say like sure I do this job for you right now. But if you don't treat me well, I'm fucking out the door and if you do that collectively
if of its just you, maybe you're out the door. But if you get
entire office together and give that threat to your boss may
something gets done and if we all take that step, the more of us take that step the better. It is for everyone
so ozma look a lot of people in hollywood are really worried that if there is a strong
and that that is by no means guaranteed. We're gonna take our strike authorization vote and then we go back into the.
Negotiating room and we try to get a deal done, but we reserve
come, may first to call a strike, definitely to negotiate. Now, if there's a strike that,
So a lot of people of people, weren't writers and
extremely aware of that and
I know a lot of people are trepidations about that, but there is also a ton of people in town saying we need
you'd go win one for everybody happy! You know we are at last time we went on strike in two thousand seven that was in order.
When union coverage of the internet. That was what that was over the streaming platforms were starting to be conceived of, and we said if you want to make
Television shows for streaming. Those have to be writers. Guild shows too, and the companies didn't want to do that. We went on strike for
that and as a result, not only did the writers guild when coverage of streaming so did the directors guild the screen actors guild and the crew unions as well. It's really. It is an interesting thing that, like just my ex by expert
thank you. Yeah I you're saying like there is a way in which the Debbie ga, like kind of the other unions, are kind of back there being like go. Get them.
Man, it's a funny, it's funny so there's
that unions can operate, that doesn't mobilise. Member power
That's as well, you know the companies have negotiate with us cassettes, labour law and we can lobby.
Sacramento and weaken. You know: do social media campaigns and stuff like that and get a little bit far with that and frankly,
The majority of american unions take that strategy, because
mobilizing member power, which means getting people organised, organised enough to go on strike and stand strike if they need to that's really really hard.
having a union that runs democratically is really really hard because, if have deal with people who disagree with you- and it's really scary, because it takes a risk
and so a lot of unions. You know they're not built that where they didn't build, that over time, the writers goes the only one in the entertainment industry that has been built that way inside
understand why not every union takes that strategy. I wish they all did, because I think is the better strategy to have but
also a member of the screen actors guild and alrighty calm down,
I've got a lesbian whether they really do. The allotted like writers who are successful writers were part of the skills they don't just do well, they do better than ninety percent of people in the country. Right like what is the larger lesson for people that aren't writers that would kill to have a job that pays. What the studio was saying is good enough. What is the lesson outside
sort of hollywood and entertaining for somebody is not in this industry and thinks oh you're complaining about being a tv writer and only making ten thousand dollars an episode. Boo fucking hoo for you. What do you say to people that like see this fight and think that, like these are cushy fucking jobs for cushy fuck
and writer sure well, the first thing I'll say is that obviously the stereotype- and we do have some affluent and powerful members of our union. We have show runners and people like that.
Even those people are making less money than they used to and their worked to the bone, their incredibly fatigued right, etc, etc. But
now that's the high under the earnest, the lower end of are guild. You know I had lunch,
last year with a writer who
had posted on twitter that, like hey, I just got off my first writers gill job
and I don't know where my next job is coming from and I'm worried I'm going to be allowed to become homeless. In los angeles. You know this was someone. Is a trans woman who had moved to LOS angeles, a black.
woman would move to los angeles for a job that wanted to hire someone of her background. You know and got that first job and that job lasted for like two months and they wanted to be a professional television right. This was
career here. They are in l, a they've just work for a couple of months. They may be qualified for health insurance for one year right, but I dunno where my second job is coming from. I don't have a rap like what do I do, I'm living in an apartment with roommates and we have rent to pay in a couple of months and that's the reality for a huge number of our members. So one of the things we talk about is how it used to be in the nineties. If you wrote,
Any television show like any succumb for one year you could buy a house in LOS angeles, you could put down a down payment for a mortgage right.
And now people just conservatism themselves lucky. I think I got health insurance again. This year
Oh the other. Is that stereotype, it's not true any more and the fact that it's not true anymore. It's part of why were fighting so hard.
Now writers earn more money than say unite here. The local, the hotel union here in l, a that is an incredible union, represents all the hospitality workers. Yes, every working tv writer makes more than those folks. Our business is enormously profitable and writers are the people who do the we're the ones who stare at the blank page right. We come up with the idea for the.
Shall we write the script? It's like initially our work, you know, and so I think it's very fair
at least under the rules of capitalism which I can argue with. But if, if a show is making hundreds of millions of dollars or even if a show is hundreds of million dollars are spent making a show, I think a good portion of that should go to the writer the person who's doing that foundational creative work and has spent their whole career
to get to that point. So that's that piece of what you said as far as what other professions can take from it
the only reason that that stereotype exists in the first place is because writers unionized a hundred years of actually to at this europe today, is
ninetieth anniversary of the foundation of the writers guild of america. You know that really I just found that out in the green room. It was on our social media as holy shit, and that was writers in the what would have happened. As the thirty
we're, not a studio system, saying, like all we're getting facts here. You see, you know what we got loose be mayor and all these huge studio, haunches grinding us down, and so we need to get together and the first thing that they fought for was credits. Was they needed, accurate credits? That was the first issue. They fought for what they needed in that time and then writers in this a subsequent years, fought for what they needed at that time and then because of that strong unionization rate or across the whole industry, this big.
a business where, like holy shit, if you're just the ink stained wretch, you know tapping on the typewriter, you not the guy with the money. You can actually have some piece of the wealth of the industry. That was true of the entertainment industry. Only because of you
It's right! It's not true of the oil industry or the or like wall street right, I mean sure the bankers make money, but like the tellers, don't you know what I mean and if you look at what, when we think of like oh man, that was a cushy time were just someone a worker could like really
make some money you're thinking about a unionized otto worker, right, you're thinking about a unionized television writer? And so, if we all take that step in our industries, because a video games, Ella video games right people making video games should be
fucking rich right of europe, computer game programmer programme makes more money, the movies do, and yet talk to these people are synonymous most overworked, underpaid creative workers in america. What's the difference, unions, org
I think they have the ability, the video game industry right now, just as newest film was in the thirties, if they were to really
get together and union eyes and organise holy shit, the amount of improvement they can make an hour working.
So that's the that's the that's true of every industry. No matter you are going to hospital, you are going to school, whatever the fuck. I remember when I first came out to l a and I I made a tv show. I was actually like. Oh wow, like you got to experience like an industry that runs on unions and there are all the different unions working together to make like a safe and equitable working environment where you have like the union that represents the people doing the work the union represent
there's, no representing all the various parts of the crew and like they're all these rules. I remember like there is one night
reassuring. Really late and there like, we have fifteen more seconds and then we are fucking John, that isn't because of the law. That was because
union negotiation and there are certain rules on a sat was right. That was really cool. Another people know about this. We're like their rules,
and bend and then there's rules, you simply cats, oh yeah, and that is because of hard.
negotiations over many years in its its whole architecture of how to make something while respecting the rules and was
what to see when I first came out here. I can understand that, because, as a union town and about
what we do with unionized yeah Adam Conover. Thank you. So much

Asking me our livestock gay.
Although the what I would say that the pestilence that would kill them has
once I killed all of them, but I guess you're right. I was thinking more about themselves. Alright, we're can do two more plagues. First of all, darkness things to consider
darkness happens at night, which is also in the freaks come out.
I would say that, like days straight at night rays, queer do you agree, you would say okay, I feel like well, if you read the texts, it's three days of darkness.
Ok, ok, rabbi half you, you can call me teacher
I would even three days of darkness girl. That's the monday, tuesday wednesday,
deprived sorry about what you want me to do. As I say, I got what you wanted. You brought me here to save
In our day.
I love it. I live it. I leave your segment
Finally, we have killed why, whatever the six of the six sake site is queers out the killing of the first born things, they consider very mill, very middle child energy. That's true, and they study shows second born- is more likely to be query
every step down as agencies, and so I do think the murder of the first born by like a malicious. You know vengeful gay mitchell child in certain areas. At the same time, queer people we get to choose our family. You do know this famously we get to choose
family. Did you are you asking I heard of Joe? You bet you, nobody had to choose you we get to choose, and sometimes we
sex with them, but mostly we choose where we will get to choose their family, so I think sort of killing. The first born is anti like biological family and, like a nice way and also final point,
Why does this queer the angel of death, the angel
of death girl.
She winds, drag raisins season, six, that's what you wanted. She does gyro as this naturally diet, genius vera game, Zack, there

alaska and willem are headed to tennessee to put on a drag, show and stream the whole thing worldwide. These conservative politicians are trying to

The back I didn't mention this earlier, but actually smeared lands blog all over the lintels, protect my firstborn love it or leave. It gets to have all successfully survived the visitation of the angel of death, give it up for the survival of our lineup pause. While
its applauds, reorder facts book, no one dead now and if there are none of them,
orders acts. The point is in the meantime, him here to hear developing a victor between,
as ever it. Your attorney, guess: andrea gin, Adam caught over and Paul upheld
andrea, wasn't the first time. Thank you. For the first time
it is imperative to history, is most iconic jews, Jesus Christ, not re homage to his death and resurrection night, celebrating a public execution
are memorizing a baby genocide. Guess, christianity and judaism aren't so different. After all,
I just say one thing: I don't worry offend. Anybody in this is maybe not the time a year to bring this up. Put that thing about the resurrection its juices occurs via the eads dead. They put him on us
but a cave. They put a sheet over em, they roll iraq and further opening of the cave and through
days later they go back and they find.
the rock is rolled away there,
nobody there and the sheet is folded and
they say he has risen. He has risen arthur a cup.
of options. You might go to hers. Well, it's interesting when you say that, and I think is a really important point and we should really focus on it. But but here's the other thing saying like we ve bury this person forever and what we ve done to close this area is rolled a rock in front of it.
It's a bit like Chekhov's gun. You know what I mean it's like: they didn't bury him in a hole they didn't. They didn't put them in some irretrievable location, it's a rock that was moved. That could be moved again.
the heavy is very have like one person couldn't I wasn't daringly can't speak. I I assume
It was a heavy rock, I didn't know the sheet was folded and she was folded. I guess I think it was a prank, that's what I think it was a prank and I think they thought well we'll just take the body that will
but as the average kids pulled on top of the temple or what is going on that one and no one hall industry rose up around if there are like shit now, I can't put it back and I have another theory which is: I think it was women who to or at least one woman that took the reason why. I think that
his the sheet was father, that is, it is twenty to imagine that you just been
resurrected from death,
what I would say that just that John I wanna be done. I e g, the idea that only
More saying like, but its, but like look in the ets is that you don t you ve died. You think you're out right like see later, I'm done and then you wake up and you stand up and you're about,
walk out of the tomb turned back and realize I should probably make the bat
I know I am telling you is that there was a prank and a woman folded to shoot if boys are fitted,
shoot. I would double down on that, because no guy
nose out of folds.
she'd I'd like you, each to confess now.
letter and we're talking about
and linens Jesus Christ. Ok, right right, I'm so laws worrying
but you're right about the finnish eat. I dont think Jesus knew how embalmed cheat not a folder fitted sheet.
you're gonna, pull that attitude of. I fooled faded sheet, yeah like
Why would the elastic and zaire yeah? That's it that's what we do on easter and what I did
I do all the atom cigarettes just very quietly. I said I'm from china thy wasn.
I am trying to defend him yeah that wasn't charged yeah for my god. The way I didn't follow that wait, wait wait! So you know I was. I was lost in the conversation because I'm an immigrant from china.
Ok, you are referring to all datum that you are from china. Brazil reaches out to do
yeah, yeah
I don't think that's like an outing. I met. I was trying to be attacked but you're trying to forget it. You want me to say we have to move on now until they pay a more or less it. I was here
They show I forgot for a while. I was hosting that's because both pound soon as year, the point in much of a black in space. Here to the point, is we cut a bunch of segments and that's where the best pretend we ate the candy and discover that eastern candy is good and jewish pass over food is not
That was the conclusion. We would have reached evidently weights and we don't get this game just start. He kept saying I looked forward to eat
The point is-
You heard it it lover leave. It is going back on toward this summer we're bringing errors for doing something
wow, sorry gotta, move things along love it or leave. It is going back on the road we're going at the errors. Tour is coming to san francisco and tickets sold out, for our first show that we're adding a show on Thursday june twenty. Second, if the show is sold out, why even bring it up because we're adding a second show because we're adding a second show at the palace of fine arts, because they say the time of the check it, because I need people to know the demand tickets are going fast, while the wife, I can bring it up, because I need people in san francisco to understand
already missed. The first show timing, the opportunity of its beyond it in order to release it lives is nothing if not punitive. We bring to agree that we get your tickets. I could,
our guns at your bed downward possession it we got hot, takes years out those who have very want to bring up another charlotte sold out everywhere and tell people. No one else can come in here tonight. When things didn't, you
Oh it's close enough to sort out the town loving where no one else can only because it also exists so exists is tight. Tight group were you there?
it were dying and we may leaving there's yields lioness. Oh, my god is like a trumpet.
here's. How works every
takes. Everyone will have thirty seconds to defend a completely independent position as if it were your own, you get one skip, but what you skip could be worse, like going from raining frogs to killing the first born. Let's see what we ve got:
I am disappointed by the results of this concept supreme court election. I, like the other guy, look through the next. Well, let's give it. Oh I'm not actually excited too
Our cities that aren't away have a bad habit of totally sucking. Alright I'll take design ears a thing there are two cities, new york and outlay.
and I am aware there other places, but you can't really call them. City,
not in the traditional sense and I'm happy to visit those other places and experiencing what they're trying to do to do an impression of what it would be like if they were allay or
york, and I also appreciate that they try their best to keep up
What's going on in our two real cities anyway, I think this
great. I think I was you know, cuts originally. I I really like all the places that I go, but now that I heard what you have to say. I realize you're wrong that a lot of the places are just
new york, Ella wannabes and you know no great art museums, but you know maybe
crafts fair that kind of thing yeah. Well, yes, I mean these ideas. They, like you know. If you go to an art, fair to say what percentage of the already about spray paint. You know that tells you
kind of a lots
He also not a lot of these places have cheesecake factories. Oh I'm! Sorry, you don't like the best restaurants.
brought the rouses do another one
the a the die we have available right now is doing real
creative groundbreaking work and I gotta say that's true:
No, because where else can you get your
erotic than fiction written and do your specifications. You know if you want to see the easter bunny have sex with somebody from does drag.
The day I will tell you I'm sorry as a language model, I'm not allowed to do that for you and that's all.
What should happen every time you type one of your perversions into a box on the internet, because I was gonna, give you a link.
I feel awful I've gone over the years.
if he was next is very compelling, build the wall between
in new area, so yeah from canada. I first while I was the first.
South earlier in the day, but yeah birth,
hello, I'm canadian and you know, let's get to boosting, build the law
I don't know it's better down here in amerika.
Does a you guys,
I
okay, relax as a canadian. You know I don't like. I know you guys are american you're, like you know, you don't know what you have a good okay, you just like grass is greener. That's me right. You guys it's much more real here.
What's the worst thing that could happen to me in canada, I guess stout.
Oh, oh, oh,
I can cause vegetables with a gun.
now,
firstly I do. When I came here, I got a gun. So let's keep thy greatness
here and it's
the law for a post, the us, canada, your andrea thousand,
labour all these lofty words. Now these are very compelling argument.
It says it is NPR sucks. Well, it's not
it's. I don't know if you ve ever owned a press, but you can't move the die
Ah
of anti, are you, sir.
Yeah and we are such
you're killing. It's not like. I can't get up,
jobs the day, apparently there's going to be some scab work in television? Writing the alright yeah. That's all a final note on a pr slugging. If you're, looking for a scab tv writer, the judge, Paula, poundstone she'll cross the picket line and give you some a pleasant material.
let's see with its next. We need more things
majors, taken away life is a story.
And who, amongst us, doesn't need to be told a tale.
those of us live. You know, sad boring, meaningless lives, but some of us
The rest are called to the boards.
Lord, by the spotlight. Some of us,
are better than you know. The on talented members of tech, some of us
the tag or later,
paying beg at it now and that's why the world needs people to study put it, so you can get that check. Ups gun reference from earlier again, I went along with it, so I can reference suit. You know it's Eric burgers,
broke out when we
You have to study the stories of the past to understand our future
And that's why we need more, not just theatre, majors, more musical theo,
major people know now at a step tap.
And land.
Let me add a tap and land by them as a minor than bigger.
Did you really the hours they religion and theatre, a double major in life,
ok, we're having a comedy show, can you go to school? George Santos went to arrive
I've taken some time to go over the case, and I think that when it was in the wrong that poor optometrists can barely leave the house now and that's her faults- are here's what I say
We all have a fund at the expense of terry Sanderson, the bond of antwerp optometrist.
Who leaves everywhere, he goes of fallen, actresses and broken hearts. It is possible that he's skewed in front of her just at the moment of impact.
And that, while I dont believe she screamed down the hill and knocked him with such force that it
flew through the air arms akimbo. I do believe it is possible they quitted pouch.
Was the aggressor and the situation there crazier.
things you imagine in this crazy world of ours and the fact that a ski instructor, so enamored by
liberty of the star of shakespeare love and he went along the story, lest we forget that he filed a report about what happened not immediately after the ski collision, but after lunch
with the portress a detail. I I alighted when I previously gave my closing remarks, because I am her attorney and another thing skiing, not on em
This is what we're doing is an exercise you're wearing these boots and it's cold parts of you're sweating parts of you, a freezing it's all day,
think its exercise, because the mill
does most of the work I don't know
I'd like to see her involved in other laws
From now on working like Jesus, I was, I was
the proposal at all foods and I've been going.
roger nailed me with their card? Oh my god, but one of the things that did happen in the trial is that apparently a jimmy kimmel. She told a story about being caught is constantly running into people and they've, and the lawyer, who was the I think the best person they could find in utah was like
you can let that in and the judge went along with it, but that probably pissed up the terry Sanderson lawyers was like come on. You kind of confessed on camera,
why, but I think you do just a classic slip- involve you know just kind of
we'll see daisy.
You no end of year after the slip info. Is it now in it? A better call saw term
it's a better call, solemn! The point being quoted: pouch
on the stand in Sanderson versus paltrow is the greatest performance she's given in more than a decade. It reminded me that hollywood needs her she's, excellent and sky. Captain in the world of tomorrow may not have been the right vehicle, but I don't think that's a reason to abandon the whole fuckin industry could have put the
Eggs aside. We want you in pictures, that's it!
That's outtakes
we come back will end on a high note. I was crazy. Brast,
We sat here very quickly, but everyone at home heard a mattress at all actors
It was a good man, ass, fer or hoping helix. He likes
The only good one, we've always been, a supporter of helix mattress and we've always been at war with casper mattress, and we hate the people at casper mattress that we always believe in the patriots have helix mattress. Alright, this will all have to be cut. No,
we're running a business like crazy
the best part all about
most comical would have been captain philips.
With Tom ANG. Yes, after he comes off, you know and they use with the nurse and that it was like all improvised it. What if he finished, he just went well, let's
but this was a great and see. What are you talking about?
it's so real and are it's what you can,
this anywhere isaac. I would first of all thank you for comparing the end of this comedy show to the jury,
big moment where Tom Hanks breaks down sobbing at the end of the film captain, philips, which did make them,
it is they want to see that made them of those great. It really was important move. It was a good move and I can do now
You know about their advice. Do as I think you know I think well yet it said. Maybe I should
the captain, he he changed it because he knew the character etc would have on the captain for a while, but he's like. No, no, no, let's make it more strong, I'm the captain. Now the directors like, let's do on your way and when my way and then they used his
wolf of wall street when he bangs on his chest that was made up huh, it's all made up by right.
Here. It is because we needed this week behind a lot. It mining of glory in ireland with danton it's late in the day, and my I know is that we just elected janet policy with said, was stopped and supreme court. I was often less market today in my village, and there was a really good turn out of over. Fifty percent are ready for voters, it's a red county, but we're making tries to balance that out of it a day and a better outcome. We are going to be able to protect women's rights and hopefully be able to move to fairer map in wisconsin and for all that
