00:07Oh, how's the sting, Patience?
00:09Better.
00:11I just don't know how a bee got in my breakfast sandwich.
00:15Yeah.
00:15Okay.
00:17I am out of here.
00:19You're golfing again.
00:21Ah.
00:22No.
00:22And please stop asking me that now.
00:24No, I'm not golfing.
00:25I'm going to Burning Man,
00:26and this is the only thing I can think of to wear on the plane.
00:29Okay.
00:29I assume I will be mostly naked when I'm there,
00:32so I'm kidding, pal.
00:34I brought shorts.
00:35Mark, they announced the show's airing,
00:37and I've got a marketing Zoom at 9,
00:40and you waltz in here to say,
00:42oh, I'm going to Burning Man at 8.57.
00:44Well, I was hoping to minimize the amount of drama
00:47with the enforced time limit.
00:48So this is happening then, right?
00:50You're going to Burning Man with our doorman?
00:53Yeah, I told you about it three weeks ago.
00:55Well, okay, I thought that was like,
00:56I'm gonna start rock climbing, you know?
00:58Never happening.
00:59Val, I need to get away.
01:01I can't get this.
01:02I can't find anything.
01:04Well, if you want to travel,
01:06why don't you go to the East Coast?
01:07Visit Francesca.
01:09Oh, I already support them financially.
01:11I have nothing to offer emotionally.
01:13Well, you have two grandchildren.
01:14They don't like me.
01:16They're two and five, Mark.
01:17No, I meant Francesca and Omar.
01:19Oh, well, yeah.
01:20That's because she thinks you don't approve of her husband.
01:23Well, I don't.
01:24Which is probably something I can work through
01:27with the help of ayahuasca.
01:29Okay.
01:30You ever done ayahuasca, Jane?
01:31I bet you have.
01:32She hasn't.
01:33Yeah, I have.
01:34And?
01:35Amazing.
01:36That's not helping, Jane.
01:38Mark, you're a grandfather.
01:39Grandfathers don't go to Burning Man.
01:41This one does.
01:43And look at the time.
01:44It's nine.
01:45Okay.
01:47Bye.
01:48Just don't die, please.
01:50Show's going well.
01:51Don't die now.
01:52Oh, show's going well.
01:53I guess top billing over my death.
01:55Well, you know it doesn't.
01:57Bye.
01:58If he does ayahuasca,
01:59he's probably just gonna vomit for three days.
02:01Oh, okay.
02:02Thanks, Jane.
02:02That helps.
02:04Start.
02:06Hello, hello, hello.
02:07Good morning.
02:08I'm just watching through a cut of the third episode.
02:11Right now.
02:12Oh, right.
02:12You are right now?
02:14Yeah.
02:14Yeah.
02:14He's been texting me all the way through.
02:16Arbor is obsessed.
02:17I mean, that look on your face, Val,
02:20when that B&B guest says,
02:22uh, this doesn't look like Eggs Benedict.
02:24And then you say...
02:24It's Eggs Beth Benedict.
02:26So how's that?
02:27So how's that?
02:28You know, better than I do.
02:29God, that is funny.
02:31Alice's just really learning, huh?
02:33Well, actually, no, that's Evan.
02:34That's the, um, Alice's tech support guy.
02:37Funny.
02:38Clever.
02:39Yeah.
02:39Real find.
02:40Okay, who?
02:41Yeah, the one who wrote...
02:42He's the one that wrote that joke,
02:44the Eggs Beth Benedict joke you love.
02:46So I think we should try to get him into the writers' guild.
02:49You know?
02:49That would be a real good thing.
02:51I mean, I'm just the ideas guy, so...
02:53Um, but this is actually a marketing meeting,
02:55so I believe, Ridley, you had something on the docket, right?
02:59Yes.
02:59The ad campaign.
03:00Okay.
03:01I know this is the eleventh hour, but I had an idea, and I'm sorry, I've fallen in love with
03:07it.
03:07Okay?
03:08So here it is.
03:09I'm a flag, and I'm being blown sideways, you know, hanging onto the flag pole of the B&B, right?
03:15Real cute, just like, legs out, you know?
03:18Just blowing in the wind, right?
03:21Like the, um, New England state flag.
03:25So...
03:25Are you the...
03:26Are you...
03:27Did you freeze, or...?
03:29No, we're here.
03:29That's great, but this is what we were thinking.
03:31Let me show my screen.
03:32Okay.
03:33Oh!
03:34Wow!
03:35Okay.
03:36Yeah, no, that's it.
03:37That's the one.
03:38Much better.
03:38Yeah, forget what I did.
03:40Oh, I don't remember posing for that.
03:42Oh, it's A.I.
03:43It's basically the Under the Tuscan Sun poster, Diane Lean's body, but your face.
03:47And we love it.
03:49And you look amazing, girl.
03:51Yeah.
03:51So good.
03:52I don't know why everyone's so afraid of A.I.
03:55Done.
03:55Nailed it.
03:56I love it.
03:58Billy's in here.
04:00Yep, I know these offices.
04:01They're so drab and dull.
04:03Game face, everyone.
04:05Plus, we're late.
04:06Scanning took longer than I thought.
04:07Why do you think they wanted to scan your image at the Digital Dome?
04:10I don't know, in case there are stunts.
04:13Mm-hmm.
04:13You know?
04:14Stunt double does it, and then, you know, they...
04:17Wait, Billy's standing.
04:1812.05.
04:19All right.
04:19Stunt double does it, and then, you know, they put me or my skin over them.
04:23You know, that's how they do it in movies right now.
04:26Maybe they want to put me in movies.
04:28You know?
04:28And they're just thinking ahead.
04:30Are there even stunts in sitcoms?
04:32Sometimes, yeah.
04:33You know, walk through a glass door, or drop a cake, slip on the frosting.
04:38Well, why do you think they wouldn't let our cameras in to film the scanning process?
04:43Not now, Jane.
04:43Late for my meeting with Billy.
04:45Hey, careful.
04:46I'm on a ladder here.
04:47Wow.
04:48Oh, you really did a lot in here, Billy.
04:51Is that wallpaper and wainscoting?
04:54I've been waiting for you for seven minutes.
04:55Sorry, I was at the Digital Dome getting scanned.
04:58Why wasn't I at the Digital Dome getting scanned?
05:00I don't know.
05:01Oh, that's because the studio can't profit off exploiting your image.
05:05All right, Jane.
05:06So gloom and doom.
05:07Anyway.
05:08So here I am, so we can talk about our relationship like you voice memoed me.
05:12You voice memo, I show up.
05:14Do you want water?
05:15But Derek couldn't.
05:16I was speaking.
05:17She doesn't want water.
05:18Yeah.
05:18Does anyone want water?
05:20No one wants water, Willa.
05:22I think I'm gonna have some.
05:23Okay.
05:24Jane, this is private, okay?
05:26So can you and the cameras please not come in?
05:28This is personal.
05:31Okay.
05:34Why do you have to get them?
05:35Valerie Cherish?
05:36Yeah.
05:37This is David Berkus.
05:38Uh-huh.
05:38Hi.
05:39I've asked David to do a session with us.
05:40David is a brilliant couples therapist.
05:43Uh-huh.
05:43And has cameras.
05:45Well, I'm producing this pilot on my own.
05:48Uh-huh.
05:48I mean, couples therapy content is so hot right now.
05:51Is it?
05:52Yeah.
05:52Well, Billy, you can't just suddenly put me in front of a therapist
05:58and expect me to talk on his show.
06:00You do everything in front of the camera.
06:03But suddenly, not when it benefits my mental health or career.
06:07You see?
06:08This is what I was talking about.
06:10Mm.
06:11Um, I'm sorry.
06:12What's your name again, sir?
06:13David Berkus.
06:14Berkus.
06:15Okay.
06:15Like, uh, Oprah's decorator.
06:17Yeah.
06:18Oh, no.
06:18Berkus like me, the therapist.
06:20Uh-huh.
06:21Mm-hmm.
06:21That's right.
06:22Yeah.
06:23You know what?
06:23Jane, they have cameras.
06:25So.
06:26Mm-hmm.
06:26I have cameras, too.
06:29Good.
06:30Are we set?
06:30Yeah.
06:31Good?
06:31Yeah.
06:32Um, Billy, don't have time for this.
06:34Okay?
06:34I thought we were just gonna have a quick talk, you know,
06:38before you had to go to the color timing session at 1.
06:41I don't know anything about color timing at 1.
06:43Well, you're on the email.
06:44The executive producer has to sign off on the cut of the pilot,
06:49you know?
06:49And I'm in rehearsal.
06:50So, that's why there's just no time.
06:53If we had time, we could, we could discuss this.
06:55You know, how Billy seems to be having a hard time stepping up as an EP,
07:00you know?
07:00Never reads the emails or listen to voicemails.
07:03No one listens to voicemails, okay?
07:05And to be clear...
07:06Can we let the therapist say something?
07:08Oh, I'd like to hear what Billy has to say without him being interrupted.
07:12Okay.
07:13Everybody's in everybody's shot.
07:14Tell him to stay out of my zone.
07:16Oh!
07:17Oh!
07:18Oh!
07:18Are you okay?
07:19We are centered.
07:20And we are calm.
07:21Okay.
07:22Can you get up?
07:23Can't shoot me at that angle.
07:25Val, I have things I need you to hear.
07:28I know.
07:29And talking's real important to you.
07:31That's why, you know, we should do this on my pod.
07:34When we can get something out of it, you know, for both of us.
07:37But right now, you have to go be an EP.
07:39Well, I can't leave.
07:41I booked Willa and her boyfriend right after us.
07:43I only have enough waters for our crew.
07:45Can I call us?
07:46Yeah.
07:46All right.
07:47Well, that's okay.
07:48I'll do it.
07:48I'll do the color timing.
07:50So...
07:51What is color timing?
07:53It's where they time the color.
07:58Okay.
08:00Just, like, really.
08:01Wait, wait, dude.
08:02Then he looks at the lady's front table and he says...
08:04Can I tell you something?
08:06You're my favorite character.
08:08Worse.
08:09Listen, everybody.
08:11I am so sorry that I stood you all up yesterday, okay?
08:15But I had to stay in color timing just to get the show looking just right, you know.
08:21All right.
08:21Uh, everybody, please leave the room except for actors.
08:24Uh, cameras, too?
08:26W-W-What's this about?
08:28Actor business.
08:29You don't have to tell me twice.
08:32Let's go, people.
08:33Hands down.
08:34The most talented.
08:38You need to leave the room now.
08:41All right.
08:42Chop, chop.
08:42Let's move it.
08:50I think we can all feel that there's something not being said about how this show is being made.
08:56And I know what that something is.
08:58You do?
08:59Yes.
09:00I was on a show like this before.
09:02And it didn't work.
09:04There's another AI show.
09:05You've been on it?
09:06No.
09:07I was on a show where the star tried to take over.
09:10And you got rid of the costumer.
09:13Yeah.
09:13And you got rid of the showrunners.
09:16Wait.
09:16Did you say this is an AI show?
09:19Uh, no.
09:21Walter wants to talk about the costumer, okay?
09:23And he has the floor.
09:25Val, I didn't just make that up.
09:26I heard AI.
09:27What is going on?
09:31Okay.
09:32Um, this show is written by AI.
09:37What?
09:39Oh, my God.
09:41Well, I wasn't supposed to say anything, so, you know.
09:44Well, you didn't.
09:45It just came out.
09:46Well, yeah.
09:47Well, because it's a secret.
09:48I don't like being lied to.
09:50And I don't like lying to you or you.
09:52I'm, and I'm, you know what?
09:54I'm glad it's finally out.
09:55Well, so does the studio know?
09:58Well, yes, dear.
09:59The studio's the one that told me not to say anything.
10:01Keep it a secret.
10:02They wanted to keep it a secret from who?
10:04From us?
10:04Well, from the world, I think.
10:07Right?
10:07I mean, until they know whether it works or not, and then it doesn't matter who knows.
10:12Shit.
10:14That's worse than the star taking over the show.
10:17How is that worse?
10:18Come on.
10:19Everyone, everyone hates A.I.
10:22I didn't sign up to be on an A.I. written show.
10:24Yeah, should we be calling our agents?
10:26Please don't.
10:26Please don't.
10:27You know, if this gets out and the studio doesn't want it to, then I don't know.
10:31They could pull the plug on the whole thing.
10:33No.
10:34This information is top secret and even had to sign an NDA.
10:39Sir, what's the big deal?
10:41We can't do a show without writers.
10:43We're not.
10:44We have Al.
10:46Al is A.I., though.
10:48Al's a bot.
10:49Yeah.
10:49Well...
10:50Is that why no one would ever give me his contact information?
10:53Well, okay.
10:54Guys, listen.
10:55Okay.
10:56We're the first.
10:57And the show's tested well.
11:00So I think we just take the material that you are given, bot or not, funny or not funny,
11:07and do everything you can to make it great.
11:11All right?
11:12We're actors.
11:13That's what we do.
11:14Right?
11:15That's right.
11:17It's our job to make things funnier.
11:19Uh-huh.
11:20But a lot of times when I do that, the writers get angry if I change a word.
11:28So many times I've made the writing so much better than it was.
11:31I've been told that.
11:32Yeah.
11:32And then I have to go back and do the words the way that they wrote it, and the audience
11:38doesn't laugh, and they look at me like I'm not funny.
11:41I knew the joke wasn't funny the whole week, but I can't say that.
11:45Right.
11:45Right?
11:46It's like when they give me a line that's not funny, they say,
11:49Gabrielle, do it sexier.
11:51Oh.
11:51That's probably why it's been so fun here.
11:53It turns out there are no writers.
11:55It's just us.
11:57Yeah.
11:58I've been enjoying this.
11:59Yeah.
12:00You know, I don't think I ever liked a writer.
12:05There's never been a writer that said, hey, how you doing today, Walter?
12:08Or, happy birthday, Walter.
12:10You know, I think they're jealous because we get more attention.
12:15They make fun of my arms.
12:16All writers are dicks.
12:18They're bitter.
12:19They're just bitter people.
12:20Yeah, because they don't work out.
12:21They don't take care of their bodies.
12:22Yeah, and you never want to date one because they only think of themselves.
12:27I do know that.
12:28Val, did you date a writer?
12:31Uh, well, back in the day, you know.
12:33But long story short, uh, me too.
12:37What?
12:37No, not rape.
12:38Just nothing criminal.
12:40Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:41What are we talking about now?
12:43Oh.
12:44Places for intros, guys.
12:46I'm not ready.
12:47Okay.
12:48Oh.
12:49Hi, you've reached Mark Berman's mobile.
12:51Leave a message.
12:52Marky Mark, it's me.
12:54Mmm.
12:55I'm eating pizza because you're not here.
12:58Just two slices.
12:59Hope you're happy.
13:01Hope you haven't eaten any cactus.
13:04So you're not hallucinating, right?
13:06All right.
13:07Miss you.
13:17You know, I've been thinking, Charlie.
13:19My hydrangeas across the street grow so high, and your Nellie's here are way lower.
13:27I think these have been replanted recently, which makes me question, what's buried underneath
13:34there?
13:35Question number two, where is Nellie?
13:41That's an interesting question, Mrs. Hart.
13:49People would have liked it.
13:50They'd known where it was.
13:58And I love that theme song.
14:00Oh.
14:01Just so good.
14:03Ah.
14:04Watch this all night.
14:05Nope.
14:05Gotta go to bed.
14:08You are always saying that I'm not stepping up as executive producer.
14:12Billy.
14:12No, Val.
14:13You say it all the time.
14:14Okay.
14:15Well, not letting me in, so what do we do now?
14:18Okay.
14:19Are you okay?
14:20Oh, you're not mine.
14:21Great.
14:22Billy, let's let Valerie in.
14:26Yeah, because I have something important that I'd like to say, okay?
14:31Listeners, this is a cherish the time experiment.
14:34Okay, we're exploring healing with...
14:36You see, it's always about her.
14:38I was about to say your name, but cut me off again.
14:41It's never about me.
14:42It's like she can't ever take me in.
14:44Oh, hold on a second.
14:46What's this?
14:47I think we got a fan out there.
14:48That's Harry.
14:49That's my girlfriend.
14:51Oh, that is?
14:53What are you doing here?
14:54How did you find me?
14:56Well, I haven't seen you in days, so I tracked your phone to make sure you weren't dead.
15:00Because I called Trader Joe's.
15:01They told me you stopped going to work.
15:04You don't work there anymore, Jane?
15:06I mean, what is happening?
15:07I'm busy with this.
15:09Okay.
15:10So you're back to following around this woman who you told me was a very destructive energy in your life?
15:19Flag off.
15:20Why are your cameras filming me?
15:21Stop filming me.
15:23What I'm doing is really important.
15:25It's about AI.
15:27You're making very unhealthy life decisions.
15:31Okay.
15:33Come on.
15:34Let's go.
15:38Jane, sounds like you've got a communication problem with you and Perry.
15:43You know, didn't tell her you stopped working at Trader Joe's.
15:46You know.
15:48Got to start communicating.
15:50Right?
15:50Yeah.
15:51Start by telling her that you are going to be working on this for a long time.
15:56Yeah.
15:57And you can't tell her or anyone anything until the studio approves it, Jane.
16:00No.
16:01She knows.
16:01Yeah.
16:02She signed an NDA.
16:03Right, Jane?
16:04I didn't sign it.
16:06What do you mean you didn't sign it?
16:07No, she will.
16:08You'll sign it.
16:09Right, Jane?
16:10Yeah.
16:11You better.
16:12You know, Val went to bat for you with the studio and...
16:14Oh, my God.
16:15Now, I'm getting sidetracked off of me.
16:18Do you see how I let myself do that?
16:20Okay, Billy, don't be so hard on yourself, okay?
16:23Because this is about healing.
16:25Okay, so this is a lot.
16:27It is.
16:27Yeah.
16:28Maybe two episodes.
16:32There.
16:33Perfect.
16:33And on time.
16:36Tommy.
16:38There is a Belgian waffle truck outside.
16:42Compliments of Mr. Charish.
16:44Can I bring you one on my way back?
16:46I'm good.
16:47Thanks.
16:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:55Yeah.
16:56Okay.
17:02I'm having a problem with your hairdresser.
17:05With Tommy?
17:05What?
17:06He's a close talker.
17:08What does that mean?
17:09He talks to me very close.
17:12Uncomfortably close.
17:13Yeah.
17:13Well, you know, he's old, so maybe he gets so close so he could hear.
17:18He also rubs my shoulders.
17:22Okay.
17:22You don't like that?
17:24Okay.
17:24Well, you can ask him to stop.
17:27Yeah, you can just say, Tommy, you're a darling, but...
17:30You're an executive producer, though.
17:33Oh.
17:35Got it.
17:36Yeah.
17:37Okay.
17:38That looks good.
17:40I love LaCroix.
17:43Cute kid.
17:44Isn't he?
17:46Um...
17:47Tommy, can I talk to you, darling?
17:48Yeah.
17:51Please don't rub Frank's shoulders.
17:55He's uncomfortable.
17:58Got it.
18:00Sorry.
18:01Yeah.
18:02He's always so tense and nervous.
18:04Yeah.
18:04We're just trying to help.
18:06Yeah.
18:06That's all it was.
18:07Yeah.
18:08Yeah.
18:09I've been rubbing nervous actors' shoulders since WKRP and since a fucking natty.
18:16That far back.
18:18Yeah.
18:18I know.
18:19Yeah.
18:19It's different times.
18:21Different times, yeah.
18:22Well, my astrologer always says, see the signs as they present themselves.
18:29Mm-hmm.
18:31And this sign says, exit stage right.
18:36What?
18:37Oh, no.
18:37Tommy, darling, no.
18:39Oh, no, it's probably a blessing in disguise.
18:42Plus, my legs hurt.
18:44It was fun at first.
18:46Yeah.
18:48Now it's a job.
18:49Uh-huh.
18:50And workplace drama?
18:52Not at this age.
18:53Yeah.
18:54Take me with you.
18:56Pascal can cover for me.
18:58He did you beautifully when I fell asleep on the lazy boy on the swing set.
19:03Are you sure?
19:04Because I can talk to Frank.
19:07I'm sure.
19:09No hard feelings.
19:11No hard feelings.
19:13No.
19:14Mm-hmm.
19:15Darling.
19:17I'll go talk to Pascal.
19:19That's a grown-up communication.
19:21Have a good show.
19:21Have a good show.
19:23Are you kidding me?
19:26Assassin?
19:27Oh, I'm not surprised.
19:29It's always the gays that bring you down.
19:32The gays hate the gays.
19:34I have never been called on the carpet by a straight actor in my life, ever.
19:40Not John Stamos.
19:41Not Stephen Webber.
19:43Not the boy who played Larry on Perfect Strangers.
19:48Three Names.
19:50Mark something something.
19:53Lynn Baker.
19:54Whatever.
19:55They were all so appreciative of a caring, helpful shoulder rub.
20:01It's only the gays that take it the wrong way.
20:04It's just shoulders, darling.
20:07If I wanted it in your pants, they'd be off by now.
20:17So, I told him.
20:22Oh, now, what's happening?
20:24Jane, you need to sign this NDA right now.
20:27And what's security gonna do?
20:28Hold her hand and push the pen on...
20:31She's gonna sign it.
20:33She'll sign it.
20:33She'll sign it.
20:35I'm never signing that.
20:37What do you mean you're never signing that, Jane?
20:40We have an agreement.
20:41This doesn't concern me.
20:43The point is moot anyway.
20:45The studio owns the footage because they've been paying you.
20:47I haven't cashed any of the checks.
20:50Okay.
20:50Well, now I'm with Perry.
20:52Jane, you are not making smart life choices.
20:55You don't wanna be that person, right?
20:58Has no money, can't pay her bills, right?
21:00Perry won't be attracted to that.
21:02You know, right?
21:03Please, sign the NDA, Jane.
21:07I can't.
21:09People have a right to know that AI is coming for their jobs.
21:12Okay.
21:13Not just in offices and factories.
21:15It's right here on this stupid sitcom.
21:18Okay.
21:19I have to show them that it's not happening somewhere in the future.
21:24It's already here.
21:25Okay.
21:26Well, I thought this was about an actor's uplifting return
21:30while she navigates a whole new television landscape.
21:33Jane, I cannot believe you're trying to pull this bullshit on her.
21:36It's like the comeback all over again.
21:39It's not.
21:40This is not about you, Valerie.
21:43AI is a real threat.
21:44Not just to our jobs, to our souls.
21:47Oh, my God.
21:48Okay.
21:49Let's go.
21:50Come with us, please.
21:52All right.
21:52You heard him.
21:52Oh.
21:54Okay.
21:56I...
21:57What?
21:59Come on.
22:00Stop filming.
22:02Guys?
22:02No.
22:03No.
22:04Your crew all signed.
22:05I checked.
22:06Guess they need the work.
22:08Sorry.
22:09Sorry.
22:10Wow.
22:10Come on.
22:11Yeah, all right.
22:13Let's go.
22:16Okay.
22:17That was unnecessary, Billy.
22:19What?
22:20Are you kidding me?
22:22Everything we worked for is riding on this.
22:24You asked me to step up as an EP.
22:27I stepped up.
22:33Val?
22:33Yeah?
22:34Ready to shoot the pre-tapes.
22:37Okay.
22:38Patrick, effects?
22:39Yeah.
22:40Oh, okay.
22:40So just so we're clear, when we hear Valerie say,
22:43where's the leak?
22:44Release the waterfall.
22:45Okay?
22:45If something's not right, I'll cut before that.
22:47Yep.
22:47I only want to do this once, so be on your game.
22:50Okay.
22:51Quiet, everybody.
22:52And roll sound.
22:52Take one.
22:54Val?
22:54Val?
22:55Huh?
22:56Look at this.
22:57Valerie Cherish sitcoms secretly being written by A.I.
23:01Did you do this?
23:02Me?
23:03No.
23:03There's a leak.
23:04Oh!
23:05Oh!
23:05Oh!
23:07Hey, stop!
23:08Stop!
23:09I didn't say action.
23:10She said leak.
23:12I heard her.
23:13Oh, mother of God.
23:16Look, look, look.
23:17Angry writers are all over TikTok.
23:20Here's another one.
23:20I'm a comedy writer that can't pay my mortgage.
23:22Thanks, Valerie Cherish.
23:24Thanks for that, Billy.
23:25Fuck you, Valerie Cherish.
23:26Are they all that angry?
23:28Valerie Cherish doesn't care about people.
23:30Only profit.
23:31Ugh.
23:32Patience is anyone, anyone standing up for me.
23:35It's a lot of TV writers on social media
23:37that each only have like 12 followers.
23:39Okay.
23:39Yeah, but it's catching fire.
23:41Everybody's picking this up.
23:42There's a nobody in TV.
23:44Okay.
23:45Is NuNet saying anything or ComSpot or any of them?
23:48I've seen nothing.
23:49You know what, Billy?
23:50Call your guy at NuNet, the one you're sleeping with.
23:52I'm not calling him.
23:53He screamed at me at the GLAAD Awards.
23:55Okay.
23:56Well, God forbid you should be embarrassed
23:58when the entire world is tearing me apart.
24:00No, it's just Hollywood.
24:02Oh, just Hollywood?
24:03Okay.
24:04Yeah, that's good.
24:05Just where I live and work.
24:07It's an end of day dump, which is good.
24:09By this time tomorrow, the story will be dead.
24:11Okay.
24:11Yeah, it'll be dead.
24:13Like my career.
24:14Hey, Valerie Cherish.
24:15She wrote a movie that can't get made because of you!
24:19Okay, great.
24:20So, how am I the bad guy?
24:22I asked the network for a writer three days ago.
24:25You know what?
24:26I'm calling NuNet.
24:27Because I can't just sit here.
24:30Got to do something.
24:30On the AI written sitcom...
24:33Hello.
24:33Hi.
24:34This is Valerie Cherish calling for Arbor.
24:37I don't know his last name.
24:38How many Arbors are at NuNet?
24:40I hate Valerie dances going viral.
24:42Oh, you found him?
24:43All right, good.
24:43Thank you for the extra effort.
24:45Valerie Cherish, you are a great call.
24:47Okay, it's voicemail.
24:49Four o'clock and everyone's already gone over there.
24:51This guy's calling her the devil.
24:52I don't even know what the fuck she is.
24:55Television?
24:56Hi, Arbor.
24:57It's Valerie Cherish.
24:5826.
24:58So, the S has hit the S.
25:01Valerie Cherish.
25:01Uh, writers are real angry.
25:04Somebody open this.
25:06Yeah.
25:06So, a member wanted us to hire that boy, Evan.
25:11Right?
25:11So we could, you know, have a leg to stand on here.
25:15Valerie Cherish, not just a traitor on TV.
25:16You know, but nobody called me back from your office.
25:17She's a traitor for real this time.
25:19So, you know, what do we do?
25:20What happens now?
25:20Fix AI over writers.
25:21Right?
25:21What do we do?
25:23Maybe NuNet makes a statement, you know, saying that the WGA approved all this.
25:27How's that?
25:28Crosses the Rubicon.
25:28I was told that they did.
25:30Replace the writers with AI.
25:32Mmm.
25:32God, I'm the AI written sitcom.
25:32You know, just realize your creative should have sent this to marketing.
25:36You're forced to sign NDAs.
25:37Doc, can you send this whole message to, uh, Riddler?
25:42Oh, my God.
25:43Oh, my God.
25:43Oh, my God.
25:43Oh, my God.
25:43I, uh, eagerly await all of your response.
25:46Say no to the robot invasion of our industry
25:49and boycott how's that?
25:51Well, the show premieres next week, and they're boycotting it.
25:54Never even seen it, but they're boycotting it.
25:56Fucking Jane.
25:57Well...
25:58Motherfucking Jane!
25:59God, she works fast.
26:01We don't know that it was Jane, okay, Billy?
26:04Oh, Val.
26:05It was Jane.
26:06We don't know that.
26:08You should have never brought her on to this.
26:11Hollywood hates me, Mark.
26:13It, the story's everywhere.
26:15It's even on CNN.
26:18Writers are so mad.
26:21I told you AI was the villain.
26:22I knew this would happen.
26:28This is just me talking to your machine, so, um, don't worry.
26:33You know, I'll get through this, right?
26:36So, I just wish you were here, or near a cell tower.
26:43Um, it's just you say such smart, calming things, you know.
26:48Like, these are writers.
26:51They're always angry, you know.
26:53Probably won't spread to real people.
26:58And I think you'd probably say that I just should stop looking at it.
27:04Just shut it all off.
27:08Yeah.
27:10Yeah.
27:11That's, I'm just gonna shut it all off.
27:14Okay.
27:15Well, I hope that's what you'd say, because it really helped.
27:18It did.
27:19So, thank you.
27:21Okay.
27:25Yeah.
27:38A.I. has at long last found its way into mainstream television.
27:41And not just for special effects.
27:43Has it crossed the line?
27:44What's too far?
27:46And then this, from Academy Award-winning director Jane Benson,
27:49who has been filming a documentary about How's That?
27:52Yes, A.I. was being used.
27:54But Valerie Cherish was in no way responsible for writers' jobs being taken away.
27:59In fact, the entire time that I was there, she did nothing but ask for writers to be hired.
28:05Over and over and over.
28:07Not everyone feels that strongly that Valerie Cherish is an advocate for writers.
28:12Of course.
28:12He's the leak.
28:13That's Emmy-award-winning television writer Polly G.
28:17Feeling the wrath of her non-advocacy on The Comeback, her reality show in 2005.
28:22While the Writers Guild of America has not officially made a comment yet,
28:26many of its 25,000 members remain loud and very clear where their feelings are.
28:31I saw the news.
28:32I'm here.
28:35I'm here.
28:36As an AI debate continues in Hollywood, businesses across the country are gracing for more bad AI music.
28:42What's up with that?
28:43Are we really surprised a thirsty-ass has-been has been eager to welcome the evil robot overlord?
28:49Are you so angry?
28:49Where's your phone?
28:50I don't know.
28:52Fuck you.
28:53AI isn't writing.
28:54It's plagiarizing.
28:55There it is.
28:56I hope she sees all these posts and kills herself.
29:02Are you hungry?
29:06Come here.
29:08Come here.
29:11Come here.
29:13I've made up my mind.
29:15What's that?
29:16Yeah.
29:17Yeah.
29:18Yeah.
29:19Yeah.
29:20I'm alright.
29:22Don't need to look no further.
29:25This ain't last.
29:27I know this is life.
29:34But if I tell the world, I'll never say enough cause it was not said to you.
29:44And that's exactly what I need to do if I end up with you.
29:53Should I give up?
29:55Or should I just keep chasing payments?
30:00Even if it leads my way?
30:04Or would it be a way?
30:07Even if I knew my place?
30:09Should I leave it then?
30:12Should I give up?
30:15Should I give up?
30:16Or should I just keep chasing payments?
30:19Even if it leads no way?
30:24Or would I give up?
30:26Or should I just keep chasing payments?
30:29Even if it leads no way?
