0:00.0 | We were learning that if I actually do die, |
0:03.2 | like some of your final thoughts towards me while I'm alive. |
0:06.0 | Probably not be flattering. |
0:07.3 | Right. |
0:07.7 | Hit it, boys. |
0:25.5 | The TV writers are striking again. |
0:27.2 | TV's about to get really bad. |
0:28.0 | I heard. |
0:30.0 | I don't want to be... I feel for the writers, definitely, and obviously they need a raise commensurate with all the new money that comes in with streaming and all that stuff. But a common refrain today has been, just wait. You don't know how bad it got in 2007 during the 0708 writer's strike. And I agree. People don't know how bad it got |
1:00.2 | and they are not going to know how bad it got because back then TV was all we had. We didn't |
1:08.3 | have streaming. We didn't have, we had like, I guess, like, you'd buy |
1:13.1 | some stuff and you'd have TV shows on DVD and stuff. Yeah. But now, if someone's like, |

And I'm like, yo, not to this you, you, but you were upset that love is blind wasn't on the other day, right? |
2:19.1 | Me? No. |
2:19.9 | No, I'm saying, like, to this you, the people that are saying the content is going to get so bad. |
2:26.6 | We're in a mix of, we want some good content, we want some terrible content. |
2:32.0 | Here's the thing, and I don't know whether this is like, um, is good or bad for the sake |
