I know, but this is supposed to be amazing.

It's David Blaine's latest magic trick where

he's just gonna kill himself. How is that magic?

I thought he wasn't supposed to be

a celebrity anymore. Whoa. It says on "Deadline"

that Maggie Gyllenhaal just signed on

"Clitorectomy: Third Time's the Harm."

That's a bummer. She's supposed to be a feminist.

I expected more from her. It's always sad

when someone sells out their own people.

Yeah. Like when Elton John did that thing with Eminem.

And then they sang together.

Ugh! This line is not moving!

I know, and I have to eat before my audition.

What's it for again? I don't know. It's top secret.

The only thing I know is it's for Amazon,

Well, if you want, we can bail.

We can go to that new Cajun Meatball Poke pop‐up.

Ooh! Elton John's nickname for Eminem.

Oh, another line? No, that's a picket line.

See, they have a Strike Rat. "Waiters deserve wages"?

I didn't know waiters had a union.

I thought it was just SAG. Well, I'm not joining.

I can't afford to pay any more stupid dues.

And those SAG screeners are pathetic.

Big deal‐‐I get a free copy of "Hacksaw Ridge,"

but I have to see a dentist in Paramus.

I guess we should find a restaurant that's open.

Although...technically, this restaurant is open.

And they could seat us right away.

Yeah, but if we go in there, they're gonna boo us.

I've been booed four times today already.

Scabs are a sign of healing, dear.

Every improviser I know has gone out for "Mozart in the Jungle."

Oh, I am sure.

That show is real comedy.

Just so you know,

this project comes from a film director

Eli Roth? Close. Jewish also.

But his violence against women is more...dialogue‐based

and exists more in his characters'

antiquated attitudes towards them.

Woody Allen is doing another Amazon series?

Yes! It's called "Manhattan Mini Storage,"

and this time we are sure the Woodster's gonna

"get TV."

Mike Pence has started a program

Lola, that's not happening. I mean, I believe you

for one of those Japanese sex robots,

but there's no conversion program.

No, no, it's real. While we liberals
