I kind of can see, but can't see. 170 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 4: So the reason I got the cane is if I 171 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 4: don't have the cane and I fall, people will make 172 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 4: fun of me. 173 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 3: But if I got a cane, they will help me up. 174 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 4: And I was like that was so, I said, yo, 175 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 4: And that's why I got it, but he passed away. 176 00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: I was actually working on a cruise ship. I could 177 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 3: not even go to the funeral. 178 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: Uh. This past year, I got to go to his 179 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 4: grave site.

I said it was up to it. 182 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 4: I saw his sister. We's in Cincinnati. Matter of fact, me, 183 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 4: Tracy shout out to Roberto, Tracy Morgan, and Pat Brown. 184 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 4: We all went to his grave site man to visit 185 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: him and pay our respects to him. So, yeah, it 186 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 4: was a good friend. 187 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: And I felt like he was a misunderstood person too, 188 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: because some people thought he was so mean he was. 189 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna sit there. I can't. I can't sugarcoat 190 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: what he who he was, Todd is who he is. 191 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: He was a mean dude. 192 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 4: But if he liked you, he liked you, you know 193 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. And I saw through it, you know 194 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So, and he was a good dude. 195 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: Now, Tracy Morgan is another person you just mentioned him. 196 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: And to be clear, Marcus also was a writer on 197 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: the Last og Last. 198 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: Four Seasons man ep on that joint.

Well, it's personally because we was in the midst. 273 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 4: Of picturing the show, uh for Tracy for CBS and Paramount, 274 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 4: and now we're stuck. We can't talk to CBS, CBS 275 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 4: can't talk to us. That's the way it is until 276 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 4: we get our money. We want our money, so we 277 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 4: want our money. And let's be clear. Let's be clear. 278 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 4: Writers need to be paid. There is no Netflix, there 279 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 4: is no HBO without the writers. We are the roots 280 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: of the tree that bears that fruit. So understand that. 281 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: Are you concerned about AI? 282 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 3: Yes? 283 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 4: Absolutely, how so specifically specifically, this is what it is AI, 284 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 4: what it does. It's on It's basically takes anything that's 285 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 4: on the Internet and can compile a script together. 286 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: Now will that script be shootable? 287 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: Heck no, it will not, But will it can do? 288 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 4: A studio can sit there and go, well, here's the 289 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 4: here's the basis or the skeleton of the script. I 290 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 4: want now mark you rewrite it. And I'm not gonna 291 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 4: pay you the full fee I would have paid you. 292 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 4: I'm gonna pay you a finder's feel, just a writer's fee. 293 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 4: And I'm the one that wrote it. So I'm the 294 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 4: creator of this and they didn't create it. The AI 295 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 4: created it. So we're not gonna have that. It's not 296 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 4: gonna happen it, We're not. And that's not gonna be negotiable. 297 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 4: So I don't understand. Uh, And Netflix y'all gotta stop 298 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 4: being so cocky. Netflix is really cocky. They're like, hey, 299 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 4: we got plenty of stuff in the can. Uh. 300 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 3: I remember a Blockbuster and they were really cocky too. 301 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 3: And uh, don't become next Blockbuster because trust. 302 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: Me, Blockbuster story reopening recently. 303 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 3: No, they got one, think Oregon or something like that. 304 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: But that's it. They finished. They got cocky. You understand 305 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. And and and uh. Netflix is feeling 306 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: themselves because they're on top. I get you. 307 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 4: You're on top, you feel yourself. But without writers, you 308 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 4: don't have anything. It's unlike Amazon. You ain't got no backup. 309 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 4: Amazon got Amazon Prime, Disney got Disney World. You know 310 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 4: all these are Apple got they got iPhones? Netflix. 311 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: What else you got? 312 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: Netflix? 313 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 3: It's just Netflix with our writers. You done? 314 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 4: So let somebody else come in and go. You know what, 315 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 4: I'm gonna give these writers what they want. You were finished. 316 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 4: Understand that. 317 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: What was your experience like at the last OG because 318 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 2: that was, like you said, four seasons for six seasons. 319 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: Absolutely a blast. I learned a lot man. 320 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 4: And this is part of the reason we're striking as well, 321 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 4: is that writers are not allowed on set like they 322 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 4: used to be like, if you write an episode back 323 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 4: in the day, you would be on set because it 324 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 4: makes sense. I wrote the episode, I could tell the 325 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: actors what to do. I could tell the directors what 326 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 4: to do. Right now, they're not letting anybody on set 327 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 4: now because of my relationship with Tracy, I was on 328 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 4: set from day one. 329 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: Why were they not letting you. I'm just curious what 330 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: it's all about. 331 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: Money to pay you. 332 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 4: They don't want to pay so they're like, oh, let's 333 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 4: save some money. Let's save some money. And understand it. 334 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 4: I'm a writer, so I got to look at the 335 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 4: point of view of everybody that's in my script, good 336 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 4: or bad. Right, so bad people right now is the studios, 337 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 4: and they're looking at it like, we go save money 338 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 4: by not paying these writers. But what you don't get 339 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 4: is like, I'm gonna pay Shonda Rhimes. I'm gonna pay 340 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 4: these other big writers.
