All right, welcome to the Eugturge, Jake Ugrana, and I'm gonna spare you guys an amazing

show ahead.

Tons of interesting topics, including former Fox executives pleading for mercy saying,

please forgive us for what we've done, because this is abhorrent.

So that is an amazing story among many others.

But we start with kind of breaking news.

We do, so let's get right to it.

Nobody wants a work stoppage, but if our leadership is saying that the deal isn't fair, then

we gotta hold strong till we get a deal that's fair for working actors.

It's the difference between having healthcare and not for a lot of actors and we gotta

do what's right by them.

That was Matt Damon at the World Premier of Oppenheimer, and shortly after that comment,

he and his fellow cast members actually walked off of their own premier, because a deal

has not been reached by the union representing the actors and the studios.

And as a result, the strike is on.

About 150,000 actors will be on strike beginning midnight.

And it's because they have not reached a deal with the AMPTP, which of course represents

the major Hollywood studios.

So I wanna give you guys some details on what this means.

First of all, it has been decades since this type of strike has taken place among the actors.

It's been over 40 years since the actors walked off on strike, and it's been over 60 years

since the actors and writers were both on strike at the same time.
