1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: One or two point seven Kiss FM, gonna jump on

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: with Sam Rubin, who's also doing his daily work right

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: now at KTLA Channel five. Sam, I think the last

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: time we had someone on, I didn't get a chance

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: to thank you, So thank.

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, my big break. It's always a big break. Thank you.

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 3: I just yeah.

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: Well again in the whole Wheel of Fortune statement where

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: way I heard.

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 3: Mark Gribbin mentioned you didn't hear Sam Rubin?

13
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might be.

14
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: I might be waiting to premiere week. Sam, Okay, just

15
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: hold on all right, listen. I do want to get

16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: serious for a second, because we've got a double strike

17
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: here with one of the biggest industries obviously in our city,

18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: and it affects so many The ripple effect is what's

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: interesting and what's major, Sam, Right, You've got restaurants, you've

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: got catering, hospitality, lighting, production, so there are so many

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: maybe seven hundred, eight hundred thousand jobs associated with production here.

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: What new news do you have and how long do

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: you think this could go on?

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: I think the keyword is duration and what makes me

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: uncomfortable is. I was on the picket line on a

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: Friday speaking with fran Dresser and I use that word

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: how long, And she essentially said, you know, they hope

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: this isn't the case. They're ready to talk at any time,

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: but that it could go on for months. And we

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: had an actress on last week prior to the strike.

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: She said, you know, and there's you know, pedtal butt

32
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: and rumor, and she's like, this could go on to

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: the end of the year. And I think a lot

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: of people think, all right, July has certainly written off,

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: August is likely written off, but they've got to figure

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: this out right at the top of September or you know,

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: disaster looms for all. So my hope is that it

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: does not go on that long. And again, by the way,

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: the writers have been out for eleven weeks now, and

40
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, I don't know about Tanya

41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: everybody else. If I didn't get paid for eleven weeks,

42
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: that would be very problematic for me. It's not that

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: wouldn't be good.

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: What was there any progress made with the writers in

45
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: that eleven weeks at all?

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: No, it didn't know they did, They did not. They

47
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: did not talk at all and so one, you know,

48
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: and there's an enormous amount of finger pointing going on.

49
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: But one possibility is are the producers using all of

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 2: this as effectively an excuse to, you know what, We've

51
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: got a lot of shows in the can. Let's burn

52
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: some of the stuff off, you know, be good to

53
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: report to all Our expenses have definitely followed, be these

54
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: We're not paying for anything that's interesting. And you know,

55
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: maybe maybe this looks good on a ledger or something,

56
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: but it certainly doesn't look good otherwise. I I. And

57
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: the thing that that really is is disappointing is somebody.

58
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: Is it a bigger Starvan fran dresser on that side,

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: or is it some big, big executive Bob Biker gave

60
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: an interview that was very divisib last week. Somebody says, hey, look,

61
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: you guys, come sit down here, come to my house

62
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: and we will we'll have a talk about this. And

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: is there some guru somewhere who can put everybody together?

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: And hey, there are very few people who probably have

65
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: that clout. A couple of big shot agents volunteered, but

66
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: who wants to hear from them? So that's the problems.

67
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: There's sort of no great peacemaker here.

68
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: Well, and duration, I mean, that's the thing.

69
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: How long can it go before there is maybe that

70
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: ambassador to be forced to get everybody to sit down?

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: And that's the crazy thing.

72
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: But you know, we've worked here and we talked to

73
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: everybody that do these jobs every morning as your viewers

74
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: as well, that are not the actors, that are not

75
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: the writers. There's also so many different I mean we

76
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: talked to them too, obviously, but there are so many

77
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: different jobs, associated industries, associated within the industry.

78
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: Well, then this whole idea that for every face you

79
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: see on camera, there's got to be at least a

80
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: dozen faces that you don't see. And is that the

81
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: dry clear is that the caterer, is that the tr

82
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: transportation people. You know when you see a production shoot,

83
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: you see those trailers, there's a company that rents out

84
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: those trailers. I mean there's an extraordinary number of those things.

85
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, it really I tell you what, being on

86
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: that picket line just made me feel terrible. It really did,

87
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: because here's all these you know, talented people, some faces,

88
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: you know, many faces, like most people in said, you

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: don't know, And I just thought, wow, you know, this

90
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: is you're just walking in a circle for four hours,

91
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: and certainly that is depicting you're conveying an important message.

92
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I just thought, oh, there's

93
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: so many other things everybody should be doing, like, you know, working,

94
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: The whole thing is upsetting.

95
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 3: Well, thanks for the updates.

96
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: Sam Ruben at KTLA Channel five say, look, Everybudy, thanks

Speaker 3: Okay, okay, well, by bye, Sam? Duration?

100
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 1: How long will it last? How long can it last?

101
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: That's what there's no I mean, we're not hearing an

102
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: answer to that.

103
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: Imagining going till the end of the year is I

104
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: can't even picture that.

105
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into what's coming up next now.
