Transcript
00:00 you know whenever George calls, when he sends out an invite, why is it a yes?
00:03 Oh I didn't even know George was going to be here.
00:05 It's all about them all, isn't it?
00:07 No actually I'm just here to, I had to go to the library, I have a project due.
00:11 So I have a card.
00:13 Is your book late?
00:14 Or no, the project.
00:15 That's right, I have a project.
00:17 Oh sorry, go there.
00:17 Your project, well, crashing another gig coming up here because you just crashed
00:22 a really big podcast.
00:24 Oh, the Strikeforce!
00:25 The Strikeforce 5!
00:26 Yeah, that's done now.
00:27 I know, but did you have fun crashing the podcast with the guys?
00:31 No, not particularly.
00:32 Why not?
00:33 They're just very unpleasant people in general.
00:35 Yeah, they put on a veneer for show business, but underneath it all, just terribly sad.
00:40 Are you so happy you don't have to put on that veneer anymore?
00:44 I really am.
00:46 Whatever!
00:47 Alright.
00:48 No, do you really?
00:49 Do you miss late nights?
00:50 No, no, no.
00:51 Why?
00:52 Because look at how beautiful life that exists outside of it.
00:58 I did my time.
00:59 I give those guys all credit for doing it, but I'm very happy to have stepped aside.
01:04 How relieved are you to hear that the WGA and the studios have come to an agreement?
01:09 It's unbelievable.
01:11 You can't help but think that basically the agreement is what they were asking for and
01:15 if the AMPTP had just been a little bit more focused and serious up top, we could have
01:21 saved the town an awful lot of trouble.
01:22 So hopefully they'll take that attitude into the SAG negotiations and it'll be done in
01:28 the amount of time it should be done in, which is apparently five days.
01:33 Five days of hard negotiations and it's over.
01:35 Right.
01:36 There are a lot of people that need to get back to work.
01:37 Hell yeah.
01:38 Right?
01:39 Yeah.
01:40 Tonight is a great celebration for the unsung heroes that are out there.
01:44 So why is it that you wanted to lend your celebrity to be a participant in tonight's
01:48 event?
01:49 You sing them.
01:50 I'm going to sing a Grammy song.
01:51 So I'll be doing that.
