It is a red flag, 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.240 that's not it. That's the wrong one.

Are you worried? 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:54.200 Yeah, a little bit. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.000 I wonder if I have said these things in the past. 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:56.440 I don't. 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.040 I've definitely said I don't have time for this. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.000 Yeah, listen, I apologize. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.120 I think I've said all these things at some point. 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.040 I'm being honest, but I'm not. Just be aware, be aware. 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.240 This is an awareness game. This is awareness. These are 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:12.319 Flag's awareness and today's quote for your Thursday. Pay attention 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.000 to what relationships in your. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.880 Life create ease and nourishment, and take none of the 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:21.400 ones that create chaos and dysfunction, and then adjust accordingly. 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.760 So again, this is an awareness morning hack. This morning 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.959 just FM headlines with sy Well. 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.800 Lakers Anthony Davis suffered a head injury in the fourth 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.520 quarter of last night's matchup with the Warriors. After being 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.280 evaluated in the locker room, he was ruled out for 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.400 the remainder of the game and brought out in a wheelchair. 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.439 The Lakers did end up losing Game five, but are 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.920 back in LA for Game six tomorrow night. Yesterday, the 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.720 La City Council voted to expand an anti camping law 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.880 to include two sites in Woodland Hills. With this new law, 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.280 unhoused people at the two Woodland Hills locations, it would 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.800 be offered social services and housing. And after a year 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.640 of secrecy, the name of Rihanna's and Asap Rocky's firstborn 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:12.520 child has reportedly finally been revealed. His name is Riza 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:18.320 Atheleston Myers, seemingly after Utange Clan Rappert Riza on air 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.440 on air with Ryan Seacrest. 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.600 Ryan Seacrest here, So in the morning when we pass 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.040 Warner Brother's studios, at least that's the way I come 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.240 in to Burmang. And actually when I left yesterday I 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.520 saw picketers walking across the bridge. 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:35.880 Yep. 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.280 And this is a big deal, right, So what's happening 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.880 with your favorite shows? The writers gil of America on strike? 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.320 So if you have driven by any of the major studios, 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.800 you've seen people writers out picketing. And Francesca Ramsey's going 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.880 to join us right now as a member of the WGA. 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.240 Haven't written for I Carly and the Oscars and the 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:03.080 Nightly Show on Comedy Central. Francesca, it's Ryan and Cistney Tanya, 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:03.520 how are you. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:05.520 I'm doing pretty good. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:06.720 Thank you so much for having me. 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.439 It's a pleasure because we want to know a little 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.960 bit more and understand from your point of view how 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.720 it's going. But where do you hold up your sign? 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:16.360 Normally? 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:23.280 I've been bouncing around. I've been at the Disney Studios recently, 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.200 and yesterday I was at Paramount. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.040 I'm looking at a sign here someone was holding up 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:33.640 saying chat GPT can't replace me. I'm looking at show 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.480 support for the writers here in Hollywood. And you think 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:41.040 about the amount of scripted programming that's now versus years ago, 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:45.360 and it is the world we live in. And what 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.560 are you hearing on the picket lines about progress or 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.199 how long this is actually going to take to get 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:51.560 it right? 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:56.959 Francesca, I mean, the mood has been so positive despite 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:01.040 the circumstances. There's incredible solidarity on the pic line. We've 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.079 had so many union shows to support us, including members 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:08.280 of SAgs, the DGA, and Iazzi. Even the LA bus 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.160 drivers are honking when they pass us. You know, we 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.240 don't know how long this is going to take, but 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.080 we are ready to fight, and we're fighting because we 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.000 know that we will win. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:19.680 What's the biggest fight. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.640 So, you know, despite what many people assume, many TV 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.560 writers are not making a living wage while Hollywood CEOs 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.600 are taking home millions. And this is because TV shows 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:36.080 have shorter seasons, writers' rooms have gotten smaller, and the 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.760 residuals that usually are meant to sustain us between jobs 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.560 have gotten incredibly low because of streaming. And so these 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.400 are all the things that we were trying to secure 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.160 in our contract with the studios, and unfortunately we were 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:50.880 not able to come to a resolution, which is what 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:51.880 led to us striking. 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.720 So I remember hearing just before the strike happened that 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.560 it was going to happen. My was the buzz, Wise, 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.720 this is going to happen, there will be a strike. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:04.520 What are you hearing? 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.760 What is the buzz? What are people saying? What are 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.840 the rumblings about when this will be resolved? 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:10.560 Here's the thing. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.960 The writers are ready to talk. The ball is in 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.680 the studio's court, but they need to come to the 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.560 table with a serious offer, and so far their responses 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.160 have not been serious. And that's why we knew a 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:26.000 strike was potentially eminent because they refused to talk to 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.880 us about AI. They refuse to discuss fixed reviduals for streaming. 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.120 They refuse to talk about minimum writers for writers rooms, 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.960 and they refuse to discuss paid steps for future writers. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.000 And I'm sorry, Ryan, that is not how negotiating works. 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.200 Yeah, I know, we need two people at the table, 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.840 or two sides at the table for a negotiation to 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.680 start and to make any progress. 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.320 I mean, you think about it. It's a good point. 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.880 The TV season used to be twenty two episodes was 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.720 in order, and now you get eight, you get ten, 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.080 you get short orders, right, so everything's sort of everything's changed. 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.320 The shorter orders are hurting the writers on the back 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.720 end because they have less time to make the shows 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.200 that are important to you. They have less time to 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.120 devote to those characters, and they're not being paid because 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.800 they're not having longer writers rooms to create that work 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.400 that then goes on to make millions of dollars for 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:18.000 the studio. 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.640 So the two sides are not at the table now, 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.880 is what you're telling us, And that needs to change. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.200 Yes, the writers are ready and the studios unfortunately have 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.600 stone wall dust on a number of issues. 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.560 How long do you and your peers think they can 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.400 stonewall what's the reality of. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.920 That, you know, we are putting some really great measures 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.080 in place to show them how serious we are. We've 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:47.000 gotten great support, but we've also shut down productions because 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.120 of the writers that make these shows happen are standing 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:55.280 in solidarity with us. Avid, Elementary, Stranger Things, Severance SNL, 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.320 the Late Night Shows, Coke Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, the Tonight Show. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.120 We are prepared to go as long as needed to 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:06.720 show the studios that you cannot make these shows without 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:11.280 our hard work, our intelligence, the stories and the characters 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.240 that make you laugh and make you cry and make 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.239 you think. So there's a lot of resilience on the 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.480 picket line. And again, when the studios are ready to 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:25.440 come to the table with a serious offer that takes 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.119 us seriously and gives us the mere two percent of 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.640 the billion's worth of profits that we're asking for, that's 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:33.760 when the strike will end. 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:39.760 Francesca Ramsey, la writer out there, WGA member on the 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.800 picket lines, Thank you so much for calling and giving 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.000 us your view and an update. And I hope the 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.119 right people are hearing this right now from you. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.040 Oh my god, thank you so much. Ryan. Just to 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.600 let everybody know we would love your support on the 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.240 picket lines. You can visit us at WGA contract twenty 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.199
