Speaker 2: and you're gonna be like, just definitely not my name

Speaker 6: And then you started a bit I didn't fully land
Speaker 6: where you started calling me not my name.
Speaker 2: And ten years later and this is now a super enthusiasm.
Speaker 4: What does birs keep calling me Rosa?
Speaker 3: Could you tell him to stop? Zucker? Yeah, you grew
Speaker 3: up in New York.
Speaker 1: I grew up in New York where Upper East Side
Speaker 1: seventy four.
Speaker 3: I was born in Jackson.
Speaker 4: Hide, wait, hold on a minute, because this is my
Speaker 4: question actually for today. And that was like, you see,
Speaker 4: I know about me, but I don't know enough about you.
Speaker 2: So you some point we.
Speaker 4: Lose interest in ourself to get interested in our fellows.
Speaker 2: So excuse the officer.
Speaker 3: So people want to know about you.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm just saying I also have an upper reside,
Speaker 6: so I should sound more like I shouldn't like when
Speaker 6: I if I have to code switch, you know, get
Speaker 6: into a doorman building that a scholarship kid you know,
Speaker 6: like my like Hampton's like the East Hampton's voice.
Speaker 2: When I want to visit parents and they ask me
Speaker 2: what parents do.
Speaker 4: I can't tell them the real truth, the whole truth,
Speaker 4: you know, not to put the truth your honors.
Speaker 2: So I just say something like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 4: You know my mother is like a licensing consultant, and yeah,
Speaker 4: Dad is just you know, like he's doing a lot.
Speaker 2: Of business stuff right now at the moment. Hi, I'm
Speaker 2: already see Ario Libisman. Uh yeah, and it's good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that is rol No.
Speaker 4: Ros is trying to keep up with the main girls
Speaker 4: because she doesn't understand and so she's like, I understand
Speaker 4: her code, no problem.
Speaker 2: Will this help? And they say no, it definitely will not.
Speaker 4: The hardest evidence I have of that it is Laid
Speaker 4: Trinity a master work. Okay, is Chris Christofferson, I'm playing
Speaker 4: a blind scientist. I know that because my hair is
Speaker 4: dyed blonde and it's very straight and I'm wearing sunglasses.
Speaker 2: That's how I know I'm ready for the role.
Speaker 4: So when my step I was signed to smoke a
Speaker 4: cigarette with Chris Christofferson and he says, you have a
Speaker 4: real Janis vibe, I realized that it wasn't quite working
Speaker 4: all those years when I would try it, and it
Speaker 4: took me about you know, fifteen years later, I sort
Speaker 4: of discovered that actually I wasn't getting hired to be
Speaker 4: her ro. I was actually getting hired to I think,
Speaker 4: be something.
Speaker 2: Close to my self.
Speaker 4: And boy was that a painful discovery that it was
Speaker 4: home hole long. Really yeah, I think first it was,
Speaker 4: but then I didn't realize that nobody realized. I think,
Speaker 4: I'm sure this happens a lot in this town, is
Speaker 4: that when people are actually completely themselves, then they're just like,
Speaker 4: you know, there's endless supply, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: Like it's an I think being spread for seven years
Speaker 4: or whatever.
Speaker 2: It really like.
Speaker 4: Taught me that S and L you know, trick of
Speaker 4: every night they go up and dress and like things
Speaker 4: that to them are legendary like that they're still talking about,
Speaker 4: you know, are literally just talked like that they've worked
Speaker 4: so hard on with all their using all their you
Speaker 4: like life flood and everything talked so that certainly you
Speaker 4: developed this sense of like an endless resource.
Speaker 2: That's not so.
Speaker 4: It's like once you give somebody the sort of like
Speaker 4: you know, tap them and say like you're in boss,
Speaker 4: you know, then there's no shortage.
Speaker 2: It feels like I could make a movie about this
Speaker 2: glass of water right now, the right directed.
Speaker 4: Started produce packaging, international sales, whatever the fuck waterfall, you know,
Speaker 4: fucking figure out the fucking AI contract that wraps around it,
Speaker 4: just in case future derivatives, you know, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, uh like I could do that on this
Speaker 2: class of water.
Speaker 4: You see, just by virtue of it, it's all execution, right,
Speaker 4: it would just be like in the style of what
Speaker 4: and then that would be a new invention, and it
Speaker 4: would be like a moment to moment series of invention
Speaker 4: that are like directly reflective of sort of where you're at.
Speaker 2: In the moment.
Speaker 4: I don't think any of those like, you know, acting great,
Speaker 4: it's like a Gene Hackman, you know, conversation or something
Speaker 4: right kind of a performance or night movies or something.
Speaker 4: I don't think that really comes from, you know, like
Speaker 4: you've got to bring where.
Speaker 2: You're at, sort of like a come as you are approached.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, thank you.

Speaker 2: to be in the Saturday I fev of Arizona break right.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: You've done a lot of work with women and trauma
Speaker 1: and surviving is this was it based on just things
Speaker 1: that you that have heard in your life that chicken
Speaker 1: through And I mean you're you're a huge not only advocate, but.
Speaker 3: I've done incredible work in this area, which is you know, yeah.
Speaker 4: I guess my attitude or approach is I just think
Speaker 4: it's very weird when people don't realize, you know, when
Speaker 4: there's a lot of fear. And by the way, I'm
Speaker 4: terrified twenty four seven and I'm always you know, hyper sensitive.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of way, you know, bravado and not
Speaker 2: oh no, no problem. Definitely don't need the sharing platic thing.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. But maybe I should have a
Speaker 2: napping I would be wise. I look at this. You
Speaker 2: take this one as well, please.
Speaker 3: Okay, anyway, go on, we were talking about.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I just I just think for us,
Speaker 4: it's like like the big boys are running on the sly.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know how we find each other,
Speaker 4: but like Mikayla Cole at my apartment in New York
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 2: There was construction in the place that she was at.
Speaker 2: I was like, taking my keys. I don't even know
Speaker 2: what the fuck is going on in that apartment. Yeah,
Speaker 2: why do I even have mortgages? Weren't we supposed to
Speaker 2: be rich by now? I'm like, why don't you have
Speaker 2: an apartment?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: And he's like, don't.
Speaker 4: Worry, you know, I figured it out with this the
Speaker 4: final IP negotiation.
Speaker 2: I just really is the craziest thing I could in
Speaker 2: these ideas. I was like, that's that's.
Speaker 1: My model now, But exactly it's a good model. That's
Speaker 1: that goes in line with don't say you don't have
Speaker 1: to say no yes.
Speaker 2: And so you know, for I mean, you know heavyweights
Speaker 2: out there that.
Speaker 4: Really and I would say that actually, you know a
Speaker 4: lot this town is like as much as just like
Speaker 4: you know, uh Liddy whatever, good ARROTI or something that's
Speaker 4: the reputation. Usually when like you meet the big boys
Speaker 4: or pretty serious people and there's a reason why they're.
Speaker 9: Stuck about this and you usually I have yet to meet,
Speaker 9: you know, anybody look like me know the equivalent of
Speaker 9: your broken you know, manicure, fucking acrylic is for somebody else.
Speaker 9: I don't know why, but it's like, you know what
Speaker 9: I mean, like their mother's suicide or something, you know
Speaker 9: what I mean, Like it literally doesn't matter, like getting
Speaker 9: molested or whatever it is. And it just seems like
Speaker 9: nobody ends up in like a town of make believe
Speaker 9: on accident and also with like the grit to be
Speaker 9: able to kind of like dig deeps and everybody has
Speaker 9: seen like fucked up shit in this life.
Speaker 2: That's just being a person. So I think, therefore.
Speaker 4: Retroactively, my goal has always just been to like be
Speaker 4: very mindful.
Speaker 2: Well listen.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just at least after the first time
Speaker 4: I took acid at fifteen and then it was determined
Speaker 4: to take more acid than its operating and I had
Speaker 4: no metric for what that number might be. But I
Speaker 4: think I got there and I don't take I don't
Speaker 4: take that kind of acid anymore, you see, And.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's a mistake.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Table for two. Natasha Leone has been
Speaker 1: acting since she was a teenager in the nineties, but
Speaker 1: her career has only continued to heat up.
Speaker 3: How does it feel to be in this.

Speaker 4: think that really I see it as.
Speaker 2: You know, like like a personal goal is a really it's.

Speaker 3: But I wasn't I was, you know, it wasn't like
Speaker 3: a Heyday.
Speaker 1: I was fifteen and sixteen and nineteen eighty two, so like,
Speaker 1: I wasn't wild though, I wasn't like hitting the streets downtown.
Speaker 1: If I could do anything again, growing up in New
Speaker 1: York in the eighties, loved it.
Speaker 3: I would have leaned into taking more risks.
Speaker 1: I kind of came from there. Was I didn't have
Speaker 1: that rebellious street And I actually think it's really important
Speaker 1: to happen.
Speaker 3: And when we grew up in places, there's something intrinsic
Speaker 3: that you have in you, and I happen to me
Speaker 3: because we grew up in a city like that, like
Speaker 3: you kind of you learned very quick.

Speaker 1: like read the room and you know, and it's like quick.
Speaker 4: No one's going to steal a single put off this
Speaker 4: plate no matter how many times I walk off. I
Speaker 4: could wander off in the distance, but I could steal
Speaker 4: that palm tree whatever refer is that.
Speaker 3: You don't know, you know, I don't know now what yea,
Speaker 3: what is that? That is not a palm tree.
Speaker 2: It's a pump from Yeah, no, it's not exactly because

Speaker 4: than they would ever take the food town from my
Speaker 4: You know, man, who's basic smart like you?
Speaker 2: Just like you have that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me tell you the person that dares to

Speaker 4: I was really into, you know, to a philosophy. As
Speaker 4: a kid, I would write my journals.
Speaker 2: They're terrible. They're all like third part person. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to like, you know, simoon Divovoir or something. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to be like. So they're all kinda you.
Speaker 10: Know, man must and it's like what do you who
Speaker 10: is man and my man must want? And I'm like,
Speaker 10: you know, learn that you cannot rely on these fellows.
Speaker 4: I don't know why that's my I was just really,
Speaker 4: there's a pseudo intellectual LSD ways teenagers and tell them,
Speaker 4: waits's only you.
Speaker 2: So by the timing into espresional nons and I was like, yeah,

Speaker 4: In bit different old man search for meeting Wilhelm Reichs,
Speaker 4: you know who invented for beginners, who invented.
Speaker 2: The uh uh you know the orgle in therapy didn't end.

Speaker 2: Uh and less he's these two books.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 2: And the third book was I Am a Strange Loop
Speaker 2: by Doug hops Thatt. Are you know? So it's essentially
Speaker 2: I got very interested.
Speaker 4: Okay, So when you must spend time in America in
Speaker 4: All that Jazz and Jojo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling
Speaker 4: and in The Singing Detective, they all have a recurring theme,
Speaker 4: which is, you know, even in Once one of the
Speaker 4: time in America, uh, de Niro wakes up and he's
Speaker 4: in the uh you know, opium den with the phone ringing,
Speaker 4: and then he's able to track back a whole life
Speaker 4: of like when they were kids, so when when they
Speaker 4: were kings.
Speaker 2: So like when it fell apart and saying like you know,

Speaker 2: But that's your choice. I don't have to only when
Speaker 2: I'm directing, so you know, I would just say if
Speaker 2: there's so many great people on it.
Speaker 5: This year.
Speaker 4: We got Cynthia Rivo, we got Malaney, we got Out
Speaker 4: of Shockout, we got Apuafina, and we got Method Man.
Speaker 2: That wasn't like I think, don't talk, don't tell Malaney,
Speaker 2: but he made me. Made me laugh a little bit harder,
Speaker 2: and I think I will tell him directly to his
Speaker 2: space when I see him in a couple of weeks
Speaker 2: actually on the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's hysterical, he is.
Speaker 4: He's very funny, but I'm not sure there's this funny
Speaker 4: as method Man from Yeah, Yeah No.
Speaker 2: But he's running into type race tight club.
Speaker 4: So it's a sensational cash and season justin threw I
Speaker 4: so many bait people showed up and I was like,
Speaker 4: it's very moving also because like the friends are basically
Speaker 4: just popping in to be like, hey, how you doing.
Speaker 4: Played the ball came directing an episode, me with Cave
Speaker 4: directing episode, Ti West.
Speaker 2: Directing an episode.
Speaker 4: You know I do, and you know, but really the
Speaker 4: people in tite with on Poker Based are the like
Speaker 4: the the camera department and like the crew.
Speaker 2: The first ads are like my rider dies, you know, but's.
Speaker 4: Like everything is my first short with me, you know,
Speaker 4: like we go back. I don't know what it is now,
Speaker 4: like fifteen years or something. Is orange, Orange Fresh and
Speaker 4: all poker phase my first like fucking our short film.
Speaker 4: And so it has a really catchy title. So this
Speaker 4: is how you knew it was a hit, Caberia Charity
Speaker 4: chast City Oh why Oh.
Speaker 2: So it turns out that.
Speaker 4: So Sweet Charity with Selan McClain is actually directed by
Speaker 4: the Pop Posse is a remake or an interpretation of
Speaker 4: Fellini's Knights of Caberia starting and Jolianda Messina. So when
Speaker 4: Carrie Branson's is some of these like Kenzo fashion films,
Speaker 4: and you know, then they started hitting me up and
Speaker 4: I was in it and it went along with the
Speaker 4: Commerschaal Ali and I Kim Gordon, all these great people
Speaker 4: and and Roman Blanchet. And then so Carrie says, oh,
Speaker 4: you should do one, and I'm like what, No, I'm
Speaker 4: not going to do like a short fashion film. I'm like,
Speaker 4: you know, I gotta make Deer Hunter out of the
Speaker 4: Gate and no, this is not like the fuck Around show.
Speaker 2: But then.
Speaker 4: I was like talking to maya speakerphone in Fred's car.
Speaker 4: I know, I just don't like shorties, but like what
Speaker 4: if it was in Gibberish? Is that something that like
Speaker 4: you know, like what do we invented a language? And
Speaker 4: so it was called you know, Carearra Charity chastity because
Speaker 4: this was gonna be the third part of the sequel.
Speaker 2: No one asked for of that fly and Felini Frashi
Speaker 2: you know, into my very.
Speaker 4: Humble hands to align myself with them with Maya in
Speaker 4: the classic Julietta Messina yes, and uh you know Shirlian
Speaker 4: McClain pall and I think that people understood exactly what
Speaker 4: I meant, but it was really actually probably some Chang
Speaker 4: was the cematographer, who was like a fucking giant.
Speaker 2: I mean he does all like Partain movies and like
Speaker 2: that sequence an old boy, that long corner of like
Speaker 2: that fucking kills. I mean, he's just incredible.
Speaker 4: And Arian Phillips in the costumes, like for sure, everyone
Speaker 4: really showed up.
Speaker 3: I sadly have not seen this. I need to see this.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, I come.
Speaker 2: Out during the Lestrato School for Clown sequence. Do you
Speaker 2: know what I came about? And fall are you know
Speaker 2: doing to make up? And I was always like me
Speaker 2: holding up camera lenses as an actual you know, LEENI
Speaker 2: clown and they're all in Felini clown make up. You know,
Speaker 2: it's very important. You don't have you never made a movie?
Speaker 3: Have I never made.
Speaker 2: Clowns? And are nobody will watch it? I make it
Speaker 2: all subtitled because it's the third language that doesn't exist.
Speaker 2: Only it's a friend of mine.
Speaker 3: I mean, who is the genius of geniuses? He really is?
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean Rudolph we're.
Speaker 5: Talking about is just.
Speaker 13: I mean, it's I It's also just ridiculous because she's
Speaker 13: just like I mean, but she would just she was like,
Speaker 13: you know, it's kind of like comes said a little
Speaker 13: bit like.
Speaker 2: Who is my tea? What is a set?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden it says accident. She's
Speaker 2: just like boom, you know, the power of wagers. Also
Speaker 2: like that one time we're in a lot of the
Speaker 2: Bowery and we're having a just twenty years ago, right
Speaker 2: in something ten fifteen. I don't know, I haven't know
Speaker 2: something anymore, and who cares?
Speaker 4: But yeah, we were like time it was like like
Speaker 4: I think she was having a breakup or something, and
Speaker 4: then it was really like emotional and like all the
Speaker 4: way in and then the waiter came up.
Speaker 2: And she went right into a voice. So I was like,
Speaker 2: that is a superpower.
Speaker 4: I do not have this more commons you are thinking of,
Speaker 4: Like I gotta like be in the pocket right to
Speaker 4: kind of be a little bit of a you know,
Speaker 4: raga muff yeah together that like you know, you know
Speaker 4: bridges like the dude.
Speaker 2: That sort of lean back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't even want to be here if it
Speaker 4: happened to be a camel, I pointed.
Speaker 2: Anywhere but here, like.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: So basically, you know, as a result of doing all
Speaker 4: this like sort of like monophysics research essentially, which was
Speaker 4: like definitely way out of my depth that I don't
Speaker 4: understand anything about anything, but you know, I do understand
Speaker 4: things like certain things. So essentially, like there's a theory
Speaker 4: called it's called the Urn of Invention, and uh it's
Speaker 4: it essentially the universe is made up of take a.
Speaker 4: So the code name for season two, Rush and All
Speaker 4: it was a black gumball, okay, because in this Urn
Speaker 4: of Invention, you have gray gumballs and you have white gumballs,
Speaker 4: and inside of there there's only one black gumball. So
Speaker 4: I'm very upset that I never got to shoot that
Speaker 4: team because I had it very much in my mind.
Speaker 4: When like, you know, young Nadia takes the gumball out
Speaker 4: of her hand, it was just like, it's a scene
Speaker 4: that in my mind I've already seen and that's very frustrating.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna have to get that done. Yeh, fire
Speaker 4: walk with me now. And then later in the return
Speaker 4: I talked to David nch about it. I'm very sad
Speaker 4: that he's gone. Who's in I lived in my neighborhood
Speaker 4: and I yeah, our last exchange.
Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, uh, you know, hello,
Speaker 2: hello sir.
Speaker 4: You know, do I need to evacuate because I'm in
Speaker 4: Puerto Rico And he said, yes, you should be evacuating.
Speaker 4: And I said, copy, you see you on the other side,
Speaker 4: and he said, indeed, I wilke up.
Speaker 2: I was really eerie, like it's fucking like bon gan zones.
Speaker 4: And he in that meeting, he held up a pencil
Speaker 4: to me, you know, and it also told me that
Speaker 4: I reminded him a lot of like this old girlfriend
Speaker 4: he had from high school, which was like me feel
Speaker 4: like I was like, is this a vibe or whatever?
Speaker 2: And I was like because I'm down ah and uh,
Speaker 2: I don't even give whatever.
Speaker 4: It's like I want to be I just want to
Speaker 4: be a witness, the witness in an outer body fucking
Speaker 4: levitating state over there.
Speaker 2: While you have sort of like some version of you know,
Speaker 2: and so maybe a less scared and so it would
Speaker 2: make him a blue velvet baby. Let's go maybe.
Speaker 4: So you held up a pencil and he said, you know,
Speaker 4: because I said what he thought on Ali because I was,
Speaker 4: you know, building dish thing.
Speaker 2: Uh he said, uh, well is a pencil. You see that?
Speaker 4: And now everybody has a pencil, but not everybody can
Speaker 4: do the same thing with the pencil.
Speaker 2: And that's what distinguishes the artist and you know and
Speaker 2: the writer or the whatever.
Speaker 4: And you know, in in talking to you know, Brian
Speaker 4: and you know, Brand had this kind of like breakthrough,
Speaker 4: sort of like moment of uh who show pump tears.
Speaker 4: He had come back and he seen like some of
Speaker 4: the the new tech that was merging and realized it
Speaker 4: was like more be thought of almost like as a
Speaker 4: camera lens or something, that it was just gonna be
Speaker 4: a new medium. So sort of course I had talkies
Speaker 4: to in silence talkies and you know we had oh
Speaker 4: my god, how we evergant? You know, you must have
Speaker 4: these giant cleeve lights and you must be swaying profusely.
Speaker 4: That's how it's done. And it's you know, and we
Speaker 4: must stop at the nightfall. There's such a thing saying
Speaker 4: and you know now and there were there was.
Speaker 2: Just sort of in a weird way, actually very similar.
Speaker 4: It was like they were like all the Keystone cop
Speaker 4: stuff and all that Mabel Norman by Arboko Charlie.
Speaker 2: Tappan whoh I bring up?
Speaker 4: Because our offices are actually located in the Max Senett
Speaker 4: studio in Silver Lake.
Speaker 2: That was the Mabel Norman you know, tied up a
Speaker 2: tree across the street.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: So what our discovery was was that the foundational model that.
Speaker 4: This you know, these lums or whatever there's generative AI
Speaker 4: machines were being built on. We're inherently dirty with straight
Speaker 4: up that you know that you know, uh illegally uncopyrighted data,
Speaker 4: straight thing from everything. So right now, if you go
Speaker 4: to one of these like Google ViOS or whatever you could,
Speaker 4: like you can just type in give me toy stirty six.
Speaker 4: I know, literally give me a toy story six. It's
Speaker 4: just that graphic and essentially I guess what's Altman is
Speaker 4: positioning for right now and who knows. But this was
Speaker 4: like the letter that kind of like I don't know,
Speaker 4: but it's by fucking I just stayed in that fucking
Speaker 4: vetso manga style, fucking text messaging. Motherfuckers were not having
Speaker 4: an on a Saturday, but being like except a kabl
Speaker 4: and chet because that's the fuck you see. And so
Speaker 4: she was like, no problem, just do it, phoebe thug.
Speaker 4: She was like, you got it.
Speaker 2: Let me go get Martin and the like.
Speaker 4: Certain people just like have no Yeah, they're just like
Speaker 4: they're punks, you know what I mean, And they're like
Speaker 4: heart of hearts and you can tell.
Speaker 2: Other people were like, let me see all this goes
Speaker 2: in three days? Right? I did it safe, you know.
Speaker 2: But it was essentially to sort of like form this
Speaker 2: coalition and just staying around because we literally looked at
Speaker 2: the office and realized on.
Speaker 4: A Friday that was actually the petition was due by
Speaker 4: eleven fifty nine Saturday a PM. And we're like wait
Speaker 4: what and Chuck, you know, from Valley, was headed to
Speaker 4: her flight back to San Francisco and.
Speaker 2: It was just like us in the ansider. I was like,
Speaker 2: how are we gonna do this? And I was like,
Speaker 2: that's what we just do it. There is no time
Speaker 2: and it was miraculous to either kind of like the.
Speaker 4: Jesse Gordon Levett was like so helpful that he because
Speaker 4: he was like, I think that you should ask because
Speaker 4: I was asking Eye for feedback in the beginning because
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't I'm not going to be the
Speaker 4: author of this thing, like I'm not gonna you know,
Speaker 4: and he was like, You've got to have this paragraph
Speaker 4: about very specifically, like how this impacts other industries that
Speaker 4: did as well, because it's actually a you know, like
Speaker 4: a global issue.
Speaker 3: You as it.
Speaker 4: So somehow, you know Nick Anfiloni who works at this
Speaker 4: Hysteria two, who's like, you know, I'd just done a
Speaker 4: ton of animation at every like major fucking studio in town.
Speaker 2: But he's a real died in the whole kind of
Speaker 2: like artists first person. He was writing it with us.
Speaker 2: It was like a real I don't know, I was
Speaker 2: just winging it. So that's how I knew how to
Speaker 2: be with it because that's my usual thing. But it
Speaker 2: was essentially to just sort of cock block a bit.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the political term for it, but
Speaker 4: maybe in this administration it actually is.
Speaker 2: Thought, how can I say this in a way you
Speaker 2: guys will understand if you're listening, Uh, doctor Trump, So
Speaker 2: stop cock block in the artists. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It's just that's clear.
Speaker 4: That's pretty clear, because it just feels like if you
Speaker 4: actually have this kind of you know, sort of like
Speaker 4: the cards align, you know, the match, the match sticks match,
Speaker 4: and so you can actually suddenly studios and networks and
Speaker 4: agencies and uh managers and talent and TikTok talent, they're
Speaker 4: like they're all incentivized for the same thing, which is
Speaker 4: protecting their kind of underlying IP ownership and you know
Speaker 4: to the best of like our abilities for everything that's
Speaker 4: coming to the past. That's really like, you know, kind
Speaker 4: of their arena and it you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: like anything to I guess not sort of strike, but
Speaker 4: like they cannot don't know, they can't be trained on
Speaker 4: still an I P of course contracts right now it's
Speaker 4: not still an IP if it's from the studios and
Speaker 4: the networks wield our model on because Britain is a documentary,
Speaker 4: you know, a filmmaker like a Peace.
Speaker 2: Corpy I and everything.
Speaker 4: So he paid all those filmmakers or you know, with
Speaker 4: like these investors and stuff.
Speaker 2: He was able to get that paid for their work
Speaker 2: for the underlying model, you know.
Speaker 4: But like you know, it is a question of kind
Speaker 4: of you know, all the studios they technically based on
Speaker 4: the old deals, they own the IP ownership of the
Speaker 4: every everything that they.
Speaker 2: Made, right, so like some of it would go to
Speaker 2: creators and stuff.
Speaker 4: So that's like something like a nugget I'm trying to
Speaker 4: crack as like a side arc, right, but you know,
Speaker 4: this whole idea of like also just really kind of
Speaker 4: like lock boxing, black boxing and guaranteeing our futures whatever
Speaker 4: it is. Right now, they're actually petitioning just for like
Speaker 4: to literally make it legal under the auspices of national
Speaker 4: security in China, to you know, scrape all that theft
Speaker 4: which media automatically overnight all writers that dies.
Speaker 2: There is never another case. So like you, I don't
Speaker 2: know what it is. I've never I'm you know, uh not,
Speaker 2: let's just actually wet. Just people are crazy people. I've
Speaker 2: sort of made that a rule in my life. I
Speaker 2: was like, we're all good. I'm not going to actually
Speaker 2: sue you. I'm just gonna you know, but like I
Speaker 2: don't know how. I have no idea.
Speaker 4: It's way about out of my depth. I'm trying to
Speaker 4: figure it out a couple of hours Google. But you know,
Speaker 4: it's just it's it's really going to be quite complicated.
Speaker 4: So it's like that's what's so crucial about like everybody
Speaker 4: in town.
Speaker 2: Man, like, hey, she's just like this is what we do, right, like.
Speaker 4: You know, and then because right now they're just trying
Speaker 4: to make it no whole tomorrow, right, so it's already happened.
Speaker 3: Right, it has happened. So, I mean, it is that
Speaker 3: change that exists that we are living in and we're
Speaker 3: seeing the regulations need to be. The fight needs to
Speaker 3: be or you lose.
Speaker 2: Lose we all lose it.
Speaker 3: We as we lose everything. The day you use your identity,
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: You gotta make a you know, it's Shakespeare Monolague Park
Speaker 2: for free.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's it is wild.
Speaker 2: Not to knock on Jakes spear, but it's not my
Speaker 2: favorite thing of the city offers.
Speaker 3: I'll be honest.
Speaker 2: I did love Mark Ryland's I mean, I like some
Speaker 2: of the zingers. You know what I mean, the classics.
Speaker 3: I like the big hits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it to be an to be I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, bro I get you.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: This episode is the last of our second season.
Speaker 1: I've loved sitting with so many wonderful guests over the
Speaker 1: last year, from electric interviews with Kristen wigg and Jeff
Speaker 1: Goldblum to thoughtful conversations with award winners like Divine, Joey
Speaker 1: Randolph and Adrian Brody. As I sit with Natasha at
Speaker 1: a table of sliders, fries, pizza, pigs in a blanket,
Speaker 1: and many glasses of Seltzer and Arnold Palmer, I'm so
Speaker 1: grateful that you the listener, have joined us for our lunches.
Speaker 1: Natasha is one of a kind and the perfect guest
Speaker 1: to share our final meal of the season. I mean,
Speaker 1: I gotta say, as we kind of wrap, I mean,
Speaker 1: this has been one of the most enjoyable table for TUSA.
Speaker 2: But I get enough about you. Do I a new restaurant.
Speaker 1: You know, there's no new restaurant. It would be it
Speaker 1: would be something like in the DNA of old school
Speaker 1: Italian Steakhouse, New York. Oh yeah, speak easy Italian probably,
Speaker 1: you know, with the DNA of bossis and it would
Speaker 1: be small, it would be you know, there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of friends that we share on the East cart so like,
