| 1:09.6 | because the writer's strike is over kind of maybe and we and we're going to talk to Bloomberg's Lucas Shaw about it. Lucas, you have been working around the clock. Thank you for making time to talk to me. Thank you for having me. I will do my best to keep the energy levels very high. I will just talk really fast and energetically, if that helps.

| 2:15.8 | by early to mid-October, anything that |
| 2:18.4 | just required a writer could start again. |
| 2:20.4 | So practically, if you are making some kind of television show that doesn't involve an actor, |
