00:00man i've got one for about a good seven cents i said the stamp must have cost this is when they
00:07were mailing everything out because i decided you know save on paper and do the whole digital way
00:11but when they were mailing them out i would get one for seven cents 20 cents and i'm like y'all
00:17wasting these good trees cutting down for this seven cent check y'all done wrote you don't type
00:21all this on this paper for seven cents now i'm great thank you but this is also what we're taking
00:29and striking for our residuals what cannot work that we put in and the fact that our hard work that
00:38we might do you know on a movie on a show right although it might run for five seasons if another
00:47network decides to pick it up and then it runs over there our residuals checks should at least look
00:54something like what we were making when we originally made the film you just shouldn't
00:59be able to take our work and keep you know using it to your benefit and you're the only one really
01:06benefiting from it right you know if it's my work right and honestly i really don't get the power
01:14as the actor to sell it to you most of the time but at the end of the day you can take my work my
01:23likeness all of the things my name because you're going to promote my name right to promote whatever
01:28the film or the show is but at the end of the day you're making a majority of the share and i'm gonna
01:37get a seven cent shake later on yeah i mean you're happy about it right you know like i said i'm grateful
01:45for all but i will i do feel that we have to take a deeper dive in a real look and be more considerate
01:57when it comes to our creatives and you know this is real work that we put in i feel like i've heard
02:05probably my whole life you know girl ain't no real job y'all haven't heard it
02:09black see the difference is when you clock out you get the clock out i don't get the clock out
02:17i can be taking my kid to school i can be walking through the airport i can be going through a
02:22drive-through and if i don't have i don't look like what they saw on the screen if i'm not super duper
02:27nice and having a great day all the time then i'm gonna be on a blog later right i don't get to clock
02:34out not to men not to mention as an actor the memorization skills being able to really sacrifice
02:41yourself and become someone else to play a part to then entertain someone else you know what i mean
02:46like there's so much that goes into it and i do feel like it is an insult when somebody like well you
02:54should get a real job if y'all having to do that listen what could what make it real right what what
03:00what do we really consider real at the end of the day but yes um i just feel like i feel like they
03:12need to come back to the table with something that makes sense for everyone
03:30you
