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.
