Summary

In the main segment of the show we discuss the dense lore around the Actors’ strike:

- The studios’ leaked threats to writers and actors’ homes

- ABC News attacks the strike as harming other adjacent businesses

- Universal Studios apparent butchery of the trees that shaded the picket line

- Misplaced cynicism over striking “millionaire” actors, and much more

Also:

Tony sits for the flag in front of his grandma at a baseball game and Alex talks about getting denied a raise at Subway

and a TPUSA writer attacks the “Karen” slur, arguing that it actually the end of society if her glass doesn’t get refilled on time.
