00:00 We're coming to y'all today to let you know we're standing with all the unions that are striking right now.
00:06 And we have a story that we must share of our own with the community.
00:10 Countess Vaughn and I did a show called The Parkers.
00:13 The Parkers has now been on air for 24 years.
00:16 And they're trying to convince us, through our ownership of the show, that we made absolutely no money.
00:22 And it's baffling being that when you have a conversation with the executive producers, and they allude to the fact that the show in its entirety, five years, was made for under $70 million.
00:34 Give us our money. You would be mad if you worked all weekend when it's time to get your check.
00:40 They go, oh, you know, the last of the checks, I should cover it.
00:43 You know, we paid you already. No, but did you give me for my services now, today?
00:50 All the days that you have played our episodes.
00:56 Pay that.
00:58 It's not fair.
