This week, Busy & Caissie compare their experiences seeing the movie everyone is talking about, which they can’t name, because of the strike. Caissie also clarifies what she wasn’t doing to her husband in broad daylight in the parking lot of a big box home repair store. Then, actor, dancer, singer, model and one of the stars of a massively popular hit TV show that also shan’t be named, Heather Morris, joins the party to talk about why she’s nervous about her sons running around naked with a new dog in the house and why she’s so glad she never got a Slushee to the face in the aforementioned show. Plus, she talks about a serious and deeply personal pivot that occurred during her time on that show. And, she discusses her latest gig as Executive Producer of the darkly comedic dramatic podcast, “The Bystanders.” Season 2 is out now, starring Jane Lynch, Darren Criss, Margaret Cho, Kathleen Turner and more! LISTEN HERE!!!
And as always, please use this space as your official episode discussion thread, or to chat about anything you want. There is so much going on today. RIP Sinéad. Aliens? That Mitch McConnell moment. We’re here for whatever’s on your mind.

I actually love Mark’s idea about residuals. I hesitated to say anything, but I kind of get what the streamers are saying. They can’t put a monetary value on views. Just because someone watches your show doesn’t mean that translates to a specific amount of revenue for them. There’s the occasional person who signs up to watch Stranger Things, then cancels when they’re done. But a view doesn’t translate to a specific amount of revenue for them.
But if all streamers had to pay a percentage of their subscription fees maybe paired with a percentage of the licensing contracts for older shows, and maybe if they also handed over their streaming numbers the WGA/SAG-AFTRA could disperse appropriately. Like, your show accounted for 10% of the viewing time, so that show gets 10% of the residuals, dispersed based on billing.
