| 00:00 - 00:03 | The DGA has done what we've asked. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | They announced to the trades late on Saturday |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | before even informing their membership. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | They also thanked us for meeting them in a better location |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | than our Sherman Oaks Galleria offices. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | So now the WGA will have to fold |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | since this throws cold water on SAG. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | My Carol... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | SAG... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | SAG just voted 97.91% to authorize a strike. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | That's even more than WGA's vote. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Streaming execs stay. The rest of you can wait for me at the Public School bar. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | The fucking actors voted!? |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | You told me the fucking actors were too stupid to vote! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | You swore up and fucking down SAG would be a joke in this contract! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | It's how we win every time. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Treat the talking props like shit... |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | ...and they're too dumb to say anything but thanks! |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | How the fuck did you let Fran fucking Drescher outplay us!? |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | She was supposed to be our ringer! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | My Carol, the SAG Board pushed for the SAV. She supported it. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | She did what!? After she hit our talking points at that Paramount interview? |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Yes, she went all in on the SAV after that. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Could've put Matthew goddamn Modine in there for all it fucking mattered. |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | And now SAG has leverage! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | It's been bad enough |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | dealing with public outcry against us in the press. |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | Now the actors will put a pretty face to the hate against us? |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Zaslav told me I would only get a yacht if I broke all three unions. |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | At this rate, the best I can hope for is getting a kayak like some fucking peasant. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | And you can't show off a kayak in Cannes. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | They want to pay their rent, so now I have to suffer? Fuck them! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | What do they expect from us? |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | Sarandos's family is dying and needs the money, he told me himself. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | I am nothing if not philanthropic. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Where is their empathy for us? |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | All we're asking is for them to do their jobs because they should love working. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | But those unappreciative hacks just want to be paid like it's a real job. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | "Fair pay." So fucking arrogant. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | AI doesn't ask for a paycheck. It just does what it's told. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | By 2026, the only term employment will be IT for the AI. |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry, Gerta. By 2029, we can get AI to do the IT work. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | I've been a good studio toad since 2009. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | I had a perfect no-strike record until you streamers came in. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Now we're screwed. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | You tech bros don't get it. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | We're burning down this entire industry because you think algorithms are the answer to everything. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | And now we're going to lose to Fran Drescher. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | The fucking Nanny. |
