Speaker 1: Stuck at home, bored and alone. You'd think I could
Speaker 1: have some.
Speaker 2: Fun on my own, but not all.
Speaker 1: I called im with Cecily and Stephanie. What's up? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Welcome to board AF. It's me Stephanie Wilder Taylor and
Speaker 1: Cecily Knobler.
Speaker 2: What up?
Speaker 3: Oh what are you? I almost got run over by
Speaker 3: a robot last night? Again, not to brag, I was
Speaker 3: in Hollywood with my friend Laura having dinner and one
Speaker 3: of those one of them robots. Now, I guess everybody
Speaker 3: has them now right. If you're listening, you understand what
Speaker 3: I'm talking about. These little one in my house. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's It's just it's very much like the Jetsons, you know.
Speaker 3: It gets up, it toasts me a croissant in the morning,
Speaker 3: and then it and then it wheels it, it maneuvers
Speaker 3: down the stairs into my room, and I make it
Speaker 3: sound like I've got like a two story Lestly, I'm
Speaker 3: misunderstood because I thought you meant like it was like
Speaker 3: a misery situation, like it's in your basement because you
Speaker 3: tied it up because you're a really big fan of
Speaker 3: its work. I'm that one tied up in my house.
Speaker 1: Wow. Whatever, Yeah, sure, so one tried to kill you
Speaker 1: what happened, but did.
Speaker 3: Not try to kill me? Like, first off, I get
Speaker 3: very strange, and this actually leads to my next story.
Speaker 3: But I get, you know, like I transfer, I transfer
Speaker 3: my feelings like to the wrong place. So, like, you know,
Speaker 3: these robots, if you guys don't know this, we have
Speaker 3: these delivery robots in LA and San Francisco and wherever
Speaker 3: I guess, And they have big eyes and the eyes
Speaker 3: blink and they have eyelashes and they're like pep boop poop.
Speaker 3: They're so fucking cute. So I get confused and I'm like,
Speaker 3: they're real though they need they have feelings. They're going
Speaker 3: to get hurt. And one of them looked like it
Speaker 3: was about to tip over. It was not doing well.
Speaker 3: It's wheel was like wobbly. I actually took video. It
Speaker 3: was wasted. I put this on Instagram if it's on
Speaker 3: my store, if anyone wants to see it. But it's
Speaker 3: like out of control. It's you know, and they give
Speaker 3: them cute names like this one was Mino or I think,
Speaker 3: or Nico or something.
Speaker 1: How do you know?
Speaker 3: It does it tell it says it? It doesn't tell you.
Speaker 3: It's like I am Nico, you are Cecily. What if
Speaker 3: it knew my name? It does not know your name,
Speaker 3: but it has a name on there. And then it's
Speaker 3: so cute, like it winks sometimes it smiles. It's like
Speaker 3: R two D two. It's crazy. So I were creepy
Speaker 3: cute to me, I get I feel like it's like
Speaker 3: a child or something. I get very protective of it,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I'm always trying to tell it what
Speaker 3: like a good job it's doing. If you're doing great,
Speaker 3: keep going, Nico. So but then my friend points out that,
Speaker 3: like the wheel gets kind of lobby and it starts
Speaker 3: getting into going towards traffic, and I'm like, Nico, and
Speaker 3: then it and then when I say that, I'm not
Speaker 3: saying I saved its life. I don't know, but it
Speaker 3: turned it like you know, it turned okay, just went
Speaker 3: down a different street. But it doesn't seem to love
Speaker 3: me the way that I love him or No.
Speaker 1: That's a theme for you, just because it's kind of
Speaker 1: hard to make a robot love you, and I feel
Speaker 1: like you shouldn't be spending time and energy trying to
Speaker 1: make somebody or something that I love you that can't
Speaker 1: it's literally not capable of the human emotion of love.
Speaker 3: I hear you. But like, here's what's what you don't know.
Speaker 3: You don't know when Nico U ups me, you think
Speaker 3: you know, like you're like, oh god, like this person
Speaker 3: then just like you up you look cute today. It'll
Speaker 3: say those things and you're like, oh my god, you
Speaker 3: do have emotions anyway, beware of that. But that's not
Speaker 3: the story. Okay, Well I should say this also straight up.
Speaker 3: We were going to say this right away. If you're
Speaker 3: listening right now, you this is bored af right. We've
Speaker 3: announced that, so some of you, we should have said
Speaker 3: this earlier on because you're like, no, I'm listening on
Speaker 3: rose Pricks. We are going to put we have a
Speaker 3: story coming in a second that is also a Rose
Speaker 3: Pricks audience story. So you're going to be getting a
Speaker 3: little bit of a little taste of bored right now.
Speaker 3: But yes, we're going to go into some other stuff.
Speaker 3: So just so you know, we haven't gone totally insane.
Speaker 3: We're putting this in both places today. We don't always
Speaker 3: do this, but sometimes it's necessary. Mm hmmm, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Why do you want to tell that? Well, it'll be
Speaker 1: in the of the show.
Speaker 3: But first I'm going to tell you. First, I'm going
Speaker 3: to tell you one other story. So last week this
Speaker 3: is an old this is old boord af I think
Speaker 3: I have a similar story on the show. But this
Speaker 3: happened again last Thursday. I went to go see this
Speaker 3: durand drand cover band that I like. Mm hmmm, I
Speaker 3: like them very much. I'm friends with the guy that
Speaker 3: is Nick. He's the Nick Rhodes and the band. He's
Speaker 3: so good. Everyone's so good. They're so talented, they're really
Speaker 3: playing and amazing. They wear the little wigs and makeup
Speaker 3: and they have so much fun. This band is called
Speaker 3: Rio Attribute Band, So let's give them a little shout
Speaker 3: out if you want to find them online.
Speaker 1: Her name is Reo and okay, oh good.
Speaker 3: So every time I go, I've bet, Oh, you're so good.
Speaker 1: You did not have to say that. So not. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not even like trained as a singer
Speaker 1: at all. No, you shut up, Yes you are, don't.
Speaker 1: I swear to God. I swear to God. I've never
Speaker 1: taken a vocal lesson in my life.
Speaker 3: You are lying right now, do not lie?
Speaker 1: You are so sweet. I'm not even being sweet right now, listen,
Speaker 1: I don't like when people say I'm sweet when I'm
Speaker 1: just giving a truth.
Speaker 3: I never lie about compliments. I would just say I
Speaker 3: wouldn't say anything. I would just be like, hmm next.
Speaker 3: But no, my god, it's like an angel, just like
Speaker 3: like the heavens opened up in a bungel.
Speaker 1: Yes, now you don't?
Speaker 3: Yes, I do save a prayer? Do you save a prayer?
Speaker 1: Save a prayer? What if this was real? But if
Speaker 1: this was real and I just sang like the whole
Speaker 1: song in that terrible say it for the morning after? Okay, Well, now, Cecily,
Speaker 1: you really are a singer, so that's probably was not
Speaker 1: pleasant for you.
Speaker 3: That was beautiful and I God, Well, anyway, that's our show.
Speaker 1: That's our show me. Okay.
Speaker 3: So I've been going to this particular show with this
Speaker 3: band since twenty fifteen I started. We've been going for
Speaker 3: ten years. They've been together. There's been different iterations, like
Speaker 3: the Andy has come and got different, like band members
Speaker 3: of you know, Leftown or whatever and right so, but
Speaker 3: for the most part, it's the same band and I
Speaker 3: love it. And the first time I went back ten
Speaker 3: years ago, I developed this insane transference of a crush
Speaker 3: on on the guy that plays Simon. Now he is
Speaker 3: not Simon, but in my mind he's Simon because he
Speaker 3: sounds like me, he looks like him, he's dressed like Gimmy,
Speaker 3: dances like him.
Speaker 1: And why not. He's probably more accessible than the real Simon,
Speaker 1: seemingly any sort of.
Speaker 3: And I remember back then kind of crushing on him
Speaker 3: and telling my friends and they're like, oh, we should
Speaker 3: go talk to him or whatever. Here's his name. I
Speaker 3: kind of got nervous. I went over to him, and
Speaker 3: I got nervous. And then I saw these like really
Speaker 3: hot girls where he had like groupies for real. Oh,
Speaker 3: because it happens. And I got intimidated and like went
Speaker 3: about my life. But I only go see this band,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe every couple of years. Is not like
Speaker 3: constant right hold on. I had to turn my mic
Speaker 3: off for a second because I had to. I had
Speaker 3: to clear my throat. Oh, I got so excited. I
Speaker 3: had to clear my throat. Oh I'm sorry. So we
Speaker 3: go last Thursday and they were playing at three of clubs,
Speaker 3: which I did you ever perform there? I love that place.
Speaker 1: I never I don't think I did. But I didn't
Speaker 1: even know that place still existed.
Speaker 3: Still, it made it through COVID better than ever. It's
Speaker 3: so much fun, and it was especially fun because everyone
Speaker 3: at the show. It's the Duran Duran cover. First there's
Speaker 3: a Kiss cover band, then Duran Duran, and then there's
Speaker 3: one called Fast Times and it's this guy that comes
Speaker 3: out dressed as Pecoli. He's got like white zinc on
Speaker 3: his nose and he's running a Hawaiian chirt.
Speaker 1: I've seen that advertised at the Canyon Clubs and I've
Speaker 1: always wondered if they're good, but really amazing.
Speaker 3: They start out with a bunch of bond job but
Speaker 3: they just play like eighty songs. It's all good. It's
Speaker 3: just so fun to me. So there, it's all fun,
Speaker 3: and everybody there is kind of there's some young people,
Speaker 3: maybe people brought their kids, but for the most part
Speaker 3: it's like forties and fifties, like people who lived lived this.
Speaker 1: So there's like cute guys.
Speaker 3: I'm always a little flirty with the guys, you know,
Speaker 3: Like I don't know one guy, I was at the
Speaker 3: bar and waiting for the bartender and this guy was like, uh,
Speaker 3: he's a little slow today, and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: and then couldn't make eye contact with this cute guy
Speaker 3: at the bar who was probably my age, and then
Speaker 3: he goes, did you need me to help you like
Speaker 3: get his attention?
Speaker 1: And I was like, that's okay, And then I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'll just have a couple of SIPs of this and
Speaker 1: then I'll have that courage to like talk to him.
Speaker 3: But then I just didn't and watch the van. So
Speaker 3: the point is is that I am in love with
Speaker 3: this Simon right and my friends know it. So I'm
Speaker 3: there with two friends. So every time Simon comes out
Speaker 3: into the crowd and he does that sometimes it does
Speaker 3: a little crowd work when he's singing huh. My friends
Speaker 3: will push me and I'm a little bit of a lightweight,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not I'm kind of small, easy to push.
Speaker 3: They will push me in his direction, so I have
Speaker 3: to kind of stop my feet like I'll kind of
Speaker 3: do I'll kind of exaggerate it and just like run
Speaker 3: that way and then I'll run back.
Speaker 1: You know, it's very tenth grade, but go on a
Speaker 1: tenth I would say six. They'll do that.
Speaker 3: They'll do that, and then the other friend will push
Speaker 3: me the other way. Like I'm just constantly being pushed
Speaker 3: towards this guy and I really like him, and then
Speaker 3: he was making eye contact. I'm like, maybe this is
Speaker 3: the time that we whatever. So my friend kind of
Speaker 3: knows him, so I was like, so, what's this deal.
Speaker 3: He's like married with a kid, right, and she's like, Cecily,
Speaker 3: we go through this every time. No, he's not married,
Speaker 3: he does not have an kids. I'm like, is he straight?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, what's the problem, Like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just like I don't know him like that, you
Speaker 3: ask him out. So I asked him out out. That's
Speaker 3: kind of sudden. Well She's like, I don't know. You
Speaker 3: got to find out. So then so the Dranduran thing
Speaker 3: ends and everybody's milling about and fast Time starts and
Speaker 3: I'm all into that, you know, I'm loving it. And
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, the Simon comes over to me,
Speaker 3: this guy who is not really Simon, and he's doing
Speaker 3: the accent. He's not really English, but he goes hello.
Speaker 1: On the stun someone wanted me to say hello.
Speaker 3: To you, like like it's a make a wish, like
Speaker 3: it's a cameo. Yeah, And I was.
Speaker 1: Like, wait, what is happening here. Wait, but did he
Speaker 1: do it in a British accent a little bit? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, he's really cute, but he was like somebody
Speaker 1: was paying him to be in character.
Speaker 3: Kind of, or I think he just stays in character
Speaker 3: because that's just like what you do for the show,
Speaker 3: like that's what the show is.
Speaker 1: But so he does that, and I'm like, it's like
Speaker 1: somebody bought you a lap dance, yeah, yes, or a cameo,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But wait, my friend who's
Speaker 1: sort of friends with the band, but they're not friends
Speaker 1: with him, like so there's.
Speaker 3: No they know him. They know him, but they're not
Speaker 3: like good friends, but enough to say, oh, my friend
Speaker 3: likes you like she and whatever. So do you wait?
Speaker 1: But you couldn't go backstage and like do.
Speaker 3: Oh there's no real backstage, like they just come out,
Speaker 3: you know. So I'm like hi, and he's like, good
Speaker 3: to see you because he's recognized me from before, and
Speaker 3: I'm like good to see you, and I weirdly like
Speaker 3: touch his arm, which is very fit, very well fine arm,
Speaker 3: lovely lovely little bicep that I did not expect because
Speaker 3: I don't think Sime and Labonn has that, so I
Speaker 3: was just like, oh, yeah, you too, and then I'm
Speaker 3: so awkward. He walks off. So I say to my friend,
Speaker 3: I'm like, what did you say to him? Why did
Speaker 3: he randomly just come over? And she's like, oh, I
Speaker 3: just said you thought he was cute? And he's like
Speaker 3: which one? And I'm like the little, the petite one,
Speaker 3: and the fedora because I was wearing a fedora obviously
Speaker 3: nice and I'm like but that now what? But then
Speaker 3: then then I got all and then of course Chip
Speaker 3: was like, god, you are like a teenager. The whole
Speaker 3: way home we were getting taco bell and I was, ah,
Speaker 3: so that's it. Yeah, that's it. That's it. There's nothing
Speaker 3: I can do because if I don't take the leap,
Speaker 3: And also like what do you do?
Speaker 1: You talk to him? You like go like what's on?
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, I love your band? So who?
Speaker 1: Like where are you from? Right? Where? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Where are you from?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 3: You're not English? Yeah? Maybe next time I can do that.
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Are they playing again soon?
Speaker 3: I'll find them. Yeah, they don't play that often, but sometimes.
Speaker 1: You'll play on Instagram. We're friends on Facebook, but I
Speaker 1: just what about Instagram? Instagram is a lot cooler.
Speaker 3: I feel like he's not I feel like he's not
Speaker 3: on there. I'll see. I mean, this is just getting
Speaker 3: embarrassing and I don't want anyone to go behind my
Speaker 3: back and do this because we already have someone like
Speaker 3: people like pushing me on him. I mean, I feel
Speaker 3: like if he was interested, he would just ask me out.
Speaker 3: But he's maybe he's just not, so I do only
Speaker 3: don't want to push it.
Speaker 1: Why would he come over to you if he wasn't
Speaker 1: interesting because.
Speaker 3: My friend made him. My friend thinks you're cute, goes
Speaker 3: say hi, she can't make him. Yeah, but you know
Speaker 3: he was trying to be I don't know who knows. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a good point. And when I try to get information,
Speaker 3: she's like, guy, I really don't know what his dealing
Speaker 3: right now. I don't know. There's always this very hot
Speaker 3: blonde chick who's there and was there this night too,
Speaker 3: and I think there's some connection there. I don't know
Speaker 3: what that is. I don't know who she listen. It's
Speaker 3: all I know. But the thing at the end of them.
Speaker 1: On their website, I'm just letting you say the webs
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say his name. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to say his name, but which I can't tell, which
Speaker 1: is which guys?
Speaker 3: Which simon does he wear? Like there's a white shirt
Speaker 3: with black like.
Speaker 1: Like lives in it. Like, Okay, he's really cute and
Speaker 1: I know he looks British though I know he has
Speaker 1: that John Waite kind of looked to him. Yes, but
Speaker 1: he's not any of those things that he just lives
Speaker 1: around town.
Speaker 3: I'd him before I've tried, like I have tried, and
Speaker 3: I listen. I have no further information except that I
Speaker 3: just like fucked up everything. I fucked up the guy
Speaker 3: trying to get me a drink. It was perfectly a
Speaker 3: cute like I'd much rather meet a guy like that
Speaker 3: than online. It's exactly the place you're supposed to meet somebody,
Speaker 3: and I just I fail, I like regress, I forgot
Speaker 3: how to do this and I don't have like, ugh,
Speaker 3: I don't know. We're working. We're working on it, don't
Speaker 3: I hear you get quiet? And I hope you are
Speaker 3: not messaging him? No, I well, yes I'm messaging him,
Speaker 3: but in the like A really he won't know it's
Speaker 3: me and you're like, I'm like, it's not about you.
Speaker 3: It's about me. Maybe maybe I think it's good. He's
Speaker 3: good for LB. Always about you, Cecily, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: but I do have to.
Speaker 1: Realize that she's not funny. I'm like, listen, she loves
Speaker 1: stuff from the eighties and she likes older guys. So
Speaker 1: they're playing next and unfortunately it's kind of far away,
Speaker 1: right like the Canyon Club or something. No, Walnut Creek, California. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll find them again. I'll do something. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: you know you should do. You should pull like a
Speaker 1: real housewives, like a Garcel and just have them over.
Speaker 1: Just call the manly hands for massages for the ladies
Speaker 1: and just you know, hire them to come play your event.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I thought about not just because I wanted to
Speaker 3: get Simon there, but I love them so much. I
Speaker 3: would love to have like a birthday party and have
Speaker 3: them play. But I'd imagine they're very It's like that
Speaker 3: to be at least one thousand dollars because they're playing
Speaker 3: real stuff. You know, they each have to make it.
Speaker 3: There's five of them, right, each have to meet at
Speaker 3: least two fifty to do you know, a couple hours.
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about the fact that like, and
Speaker 1: I say this because of course I have thought about this.
Speaker 1: Every time I go see a band, I'm always like,
Speaker 1: how much money do they make? It cannot be that
Speaker 1: much because especially when if you're in a band, wouldn't
Speaker 1: you want to keep it small. Anytime somebody's like, let's
Speaker 1: add a horn section, I'd be like, that's not Can
Speaker 1: we get away with not having that? Because you know,
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, look, this makes it better. I
Speaker 1: love their sound. They've got like eight you know, drummers.
Speaker 3: Boy Dog Pondering remember that, And what was the Polyphonic
Speaker 3: Spree They had like eighteen people in their band. It
Speaker 3: was very cool in the early two thousands, and they
Speaker 3: would all wear robes and you're like, this feels this
Speaker 3: feels pretentious to me. I can't quite put my finger
Speaker 3: on it.
Speaker 1: But are these people that are they pretentious? Because in
Speaker 1: the other way where they're like, we just don't care
Speaker 1: about money, like we just love music. We just love
Speaker 1: what we're doing, and we want it to sound great
Speaker 1: for the people. I would be all about, like, can
Speaker 1: we just have three people.
Speaker 3: In the band totally?
Speaker 1: What do we need like a guitar player, you know, keyboards,
Speaker 1: drums like good.
Speaker 3: But then like the flip side of that is like, okay,
Speaker 3: so I want to hire a band for a birthday party.
Speaker 3: I want this band to play, but then I want
Speaker 3: to be like, could you also work for just maybe
Speaker 3: you could just work for a little bit of the bar? Like,
Speaker 3: how would I even arrange that? I don't want to
Speaker 3: pay all the money that they deserve to be paid.
Speaker 3: What would you think the lowest they get paid a
Speaker 3: band a cover? Maybe because I have a friend in
Speaker 3: the band, I could get a discount, but then that's
Speaker 3: shitty because then you're like, they're not playing. You know,
Speaker 3: they don't want to do that. So what do you
Speaker 3: think the lowest would be? Like two hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: per person? But then they need like a sound guy, right,
Speaker 3: that's exactly, But can't they do the sound? The sound
Speaker 3: guy is just like at the place that you do it?
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know, really hard?
Speaker 3: So hard?
Speaker 1: So there, Yes, there's five, there are five of them.
Speaker 1: Is your guy? Your guy's the vocalist, right, Simon Lebon? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: sorry I got upset that you did not know that,
Speaker 1: but you don't have I'm gonna tell you something that
Speaker 1: you're not gonna like, Okay, he's married with eight kids. No,
Speaker 1: what I'm going to tell you is that they don't
Speaker 1: have a very good website. Like a good website, you
Speaker 1: can't click on anything. It's really very old, like old
Speaker 1: and simple, like they take someone to kind of design it.
Speaker 1: But then you can't look at stuff. It's hard to explain.
Speaker 1: You can't like look at more stuff about them. They
Speaker 1: need to do better, guys.
Speaker 3: Let me see what I can do. Let me see
Speaker 3: what I can do.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should be their social media person, and then
Speaker 1: you can kind of get close to him that way,
Speaker 1: and you could just do like run everything through him.
Speaker 3: I remember when I was eleven, so very long ago,
Speaker 3: and I was as obsessed. I was extremely obsessed with Driandrean.
Speaker 3: I didn't even have to finish the sentence. I could
Speaker 3: have just said, extremely obsessed with dot dot dot doesn't
Speaker 3: matter something. But it was Durandrean for a long time,
Speaker 3: and I would make my grandmother talk about it. I
Speaker 3: think I told you this, and she was not really
Speaker 3: very interested in that. She really was just like did
Speaker 3: not know what I was talking about. But I'd make
Speaker 3: her look at pictures and I would tell her every
Speaker 3: time I went to concerts like I was. I was,
Speaker 3: you know I was. I was a Durani like super fan.
Speaker 3: We've talked about that, yeah, And so then I became
Speaker 3: obsessed with like being them, not just loving them, but
Speaker 3: like being them, which I actually think is cool, like healthy.
Speaker 3: I you know, I wanted to be a band just
Speaker 3: like them. I want where's my drand let's let me
Speaker 3: let me form a b oh being them like being
Speaker 3: a band. I literally thought, you meant like being that band,
Speaker 3: but also as well also that yeah, a little bit
Speaker 3: of that.
Speaker 1: Every day you dress in different as a different person
Speaker 1: from the band.
Speaker 3: Yes, you absorb them, you wear their skin, you get
Speaker 3: it exactly so.
Speaker 1: Because I always thought they were so cute. And so
Speaker 1: I said to my grandmother, which one do you think
Speaker 1: I look like? And she's like, you don't look like
Speaker 1: any of them. You're an eleven year old girl, like
Speaker 1: you really don't. And I was like, which one? And
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what I wanted the answer
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 3: I used to wear these fedoras like John Taylor, and
Speaker 3: I would like squint my eyes. I think we talked
Speaker 3: about this. I'd sweint my eyes to try to make
Speaker 3: my cheekbones look higher, so I just walk around with
Speaker 3: like squinted eyes. I'll show you a picture from junior high.
Speaker 3: And finally she's like, I guess the little one because
Speaker 3: that and that's Andy Taylor with like long brown hair.
Speaker 3: He's sick, he got sick. He's not in the band anymore,
Speaker 3: just because they parted a long time ago, but they're
Speaker 3: they're friends and he's like still like fighting cancer and
Speaker 3: we love him. But that's the one. And I was
Speaker 3: and of course that's not the one. That's not the
Speaker 3: that's not the hot one, you know, And I was upset,
Speaker 3: and my my grandmother was like, I feel like we're
Speaker 3: just like wasting time with this conversation. I'm like, I
Speaker 3: don't see how we are. She's like, don't you want
Speaker 3: to know anything about like what it was like growing
Speaker 3: up in Poland?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, not really, did you have any questions
Speaker 1: for me? Your grandmother like you know that you know
Speaker 1: my parents like escaped or didn't escape? Actually, do you
Speaker 1: want to hear about that? No, do you want to
Speaker 1: hear do you want to hear New Moon on Monday?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we are who we are and
Speaker 1: end of.
Speaker 3: The day, I wish I could go back, because I
Speaker 3: would change a lot of those conversations.
Speaker 1: You want to know what that just made me think
Speaker 1: of though I used to do that, and I mean
Speaker 1: this was like way later as an as a full
Speaker 1: blown adult, I was really intent on getting my mother
Speaker 1: into bare naked ladies, and I would bring over like CDs. Yes,
Speaker 1: and guess what, at some point she ended up really
Speaker 1: liking the Bare Naked Ladies and on her own I
Speaker 1: think bought like, bought one of their CDs. I think
Speaker 1: i'd brought over Gordon. Now. I think I played her Gordon,
Speaker 1: which she really liked, and then I think she bought
Speaker 1: another one. None of the the later stuff. She probably
Speaker 1: refuses to listen to them, you know, because to me,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, if you had to choose
Speaker 1: use Okay, you know, I love I have to choose. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this is about me. But if you had to choose,
Speaker 1: which of the brothers GiB do you think I most resemble?
Speaker 1: Oh god, you have Barry Barvin or Maurice Barry? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, do you see it? He's the most like,
Speaker 1: full faced kind of so well, did you have a beard?
Speaker 3: I like your beard.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, I take it because he's
Speaker 1: the cool I think he was the coolest. I need
Speaker 1: to watch that documentary again. It was really interesting and
Speaker 1: I've forgotten everything about it.
Speaker 3: By the way, I do want to say this, I'm
Speaker 3: looking I think you were looking at the wrong website,
Speaker 3: because the website I'm looking at is excellent for them,
Speaker 3: and my friend happened to do that website. And I'm
Speaker 3: not just saying this because she did it, but I
Speaker 3: think I think you were, like, because there's one that
Speaker 3: comes up that's a different one than the one I'm
Speaker 3: looking at, and this one's really good. Oh so, okay,
Speaker 3: she excellent jobs. I don't want to I think it
Speaker 3: was the wrong one, honestly. Okay, should we get to
Speaker 3: the thing? I mean, yeah, let's talk about it. Let's
Speaker 3: dig in.
Speaker 1: We have there's more spoiler alert, there's more to tell
Speaker 1: you about the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni situation.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Okay, so we just did last week.
Speaker 3: We did an emergency the voice memo between Blake and Justin,
Speaker 3: and we put it up on both Rose Pricks and
Speaker 3: bordef so you're hearing this in both places. But then
Speaker 3: we like, we put it up. We feel good about
Speaker 3: it like we're caught up on that. That feels good.
Speaker 3: Then we go to bed and then we wake up
Speaker 3: and homeboy for his lawyers. Right, he made a website.
Speaker 3: He made himself a little website or the director actually, no, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's the director. He made he put up a website
Speaker 3: where he is now posting the receipts like a motherfucker.
Speaker 1: And it's fascinating to me. Yes, more more receipts. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, let me. I'm gonna say this because I worry.
Speaker 1: I worry about what people think of me. I worry
Speaker 1: about people being mad at me. I've just this is
Speaker 1: a disclaimer disclaimer that I signed, and I'm posting online
Speaker 1: just so everybody could see that I've signed this disclaimer.
Speaker 1: The disclaimer is I don't I'm not on either of
Speaker 1: their sides. So in case you're thinking, oh my god,
Speaker 1: Stephanie is just all about Justin baldonid you know, and
Speaker 1: and and hates Blake, let no, none of that is true.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm getting whiplash. Yes, we all are, and
Speaker 1: I want to I just want to be fair, fair
Speaker 1: and balanced, you know, because that's how I am. And
Speaker 1: so when new stuff comes out I just want to
Speaker 1: I want to weigh it.
Speaker 3: I just want to. So she is. So he has
Speaker 3: posted just as posting all these texts between himself and Blake.
Speaker 3: I'm just going to read you one because it pops
Speaker 3: up first. We're going to get into it. But this
Speaker 3: really made me laugh. She said. She wrote to him,
Speaker 3: if you knew me in person long So this is
Speaker 3: probably at the beginning of them making this movie.
Speaker 1: Well, this is when I'll tell you. Let's give you
Speaker 1: the context. She's talking about the April twenty scene. She's
Speaker 1: she's talking about she's done rewrites, and she's trying to
Speaker 1: defend her a lot of rewrites and all about the
Speaker 1: rewrights director or a writer on it all the producer.
Speaker 3: You can do rewrits as a producer, you can. Here's
Speaker 3: what she wrote, if you knew me in person longer,
Speaker 3: you'd have a sense of how flirty and yummy the
Speaker 3: ballbusting will play. It's my love language, spicy and playfully bold,
Speaker 3: never with teeth. Yeah, okay, she's that. That same month,
Speaker 3: he told Lively, Justin told Blake that he that they
Speaker 3: had hired an intimacy coordinator and that they could quote
Speaker 3: meet next week, right, that's a big one. Lively, according
Speaker 3: to him, declined to meet the intimacy coordinator until they
Speaker 3: started filming. She says, quote on these texts, if these
Speaker 3: are real, I feel good. I can meet her when
Speaker 3: we start. Smiley face thank you though, which is also
Speaker 3: a little bit bossy. He's not really necessarily saying. He's
Speaker 3: kind of trying to tell her we're going to have
Speaker 3: a meeting with her, right but Blake is going to
Speaker 3: be difficult about every single thing, like, no, thanks, I'll
Speaker 3: just meet her when I meet her, don't worry back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there there are some things where and this
Speaker 1: is this doesn't indict her in any way, but she
Speaker 1: did many times invite him to her trailer, said come
Speaker 1: to my trailer while she was breastfeeding. So you can't.
Speaker 1: I there's no proof that he ever like stormed into
Speaker 1: her trailer or came in inappropriately and like, so the
Speaker 1: thing that bugged us, especially from last our last Patreon
Speaker 1: that we did about this or episode we did about this,
Speaker 1: was the whole getting really upset that he said like, oh,
Speaker 1: you probably have a baby on your boob, Like if
Speaker 1: you're the one who's super o about things, Oh did
Speaker 1: you get to the no, we need to read the text.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying. I'm having a hard time with these
Speaker 3: texts because when I click on them, I can't see
Speaker 3: them on my phone for some reason.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, there's one where she says they're talking. Okay,
Speaker 1: hold on, I will get to it. Oh, he says.
Speaker 1: He says, I like sentimental Blake. He allegedly texted Blake,
Speaker 1: to which she responded, never met her, and then he
Speaker 1: wrote I also like asshole Blake. Don't worry, okay, and
Speaker 1: then she responded, I've met her some of my suppositories. Like,
Speaker 1: she's not innocent and all. She's not.
Speaker 3: It's not and nobody cares, Like nobody cares that. She
Speaker 3: says that no one cares that. He says that, So
Speaker 3: she's she's just picked. She's cherry picking, which is what
Speaker 3: he said she was doing what makes him look bad
Speaker 3: out of context.
Speaker 1: Right, that's what I'm saying. I'm not saying there's anything
Speaker 1: wrong with her making that joke. But you can't you
Speaker 1: can't talk to like that, right and then go like, huh,
Speaker 1: you said you said you you might have a baby
Speaker 1: on your boob. You're you're sexualizing me. You're talking about
Speaker 1: my boobs, Like when you're the one who's being really
Speaker 1: open and you're that girl, Oh you don't get it,
Speaker 1: Like I'm so spicy and yummy, when I'm like taking
Speaker 1: the piss out of people, Like it's really fun when
Speaker 1: like a girl takes the piss out of a guy
Speaker 1: and he gives it right back, like you can't.
Speaker 3: I don't know, yeah, And I mean it's really it's
Speaker 3: really strange.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: One of the theories, and I know we have a
Speaker 3: couple of sound up things that we're going to play,
Speaker 3: but I just want to address one of the theories
Speaker 3: that I've seen on TikTok and everywhere, which is like, ooh,
Speaker 3: they're going to get divorced Blake and Ryan, and that
Speaker 3: me true. I don't know about that because they're saying
Speaker 3: I think Blake had a crush on Justin and it
Speaker 3: was unreturned. Now that is total bullshit. I don't know
Speaker 3: where they're getting that. I don't. I don't think that's
Speaker 3: the case, do you know. Yeah, But that's a weird
Speaker 3: theory that's being put out there. I don't think. I
Speaker 3: just don't think that's it. I think she just steamrolled
Speaker 3: over him because she had no respect for him. She
Speaker 3: has no respect for anyone unless they're like, you know,
Speaker 3: Ryan Reynolds or Taylor Swift, because she certainly doesn't seem
Speaker 3: to for her assistance or for a lot of the
Speaker 3: people that interview her, right, you know, not all, not all. No,
Speaker 3: I'm sure she's very nice.
Speaker 1: All right, There's something else that happened that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I can play you the video of okay, but basically,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to read you the context in it first.
Speaker 1: So Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against Blake Lively shares this clip
Speaker 1: and I'm going to play it for you in a
Speaker 1: moment as evidence of Lively's blatant disregard for the guide
Speaker 1: for the guidelines of the Sony of Sony and Wayfarer.
Speaker 1: So that's the production company in the studio. In the clip,
Speaker 1: Blake is at book Bonanza, an event hosted by Colleen Hoover,
Speaker 1: and she tells the audience they will get to see
Speaker 1: the movie okay. So basically Blake is going behind Justin's
Speaker 1: back and behind the studio's back. But because she's with
Speaker 1: Colleen Hoover, she's kind of gone rogue. It seems like
Speaker 1: Lively admits that she does not have permission to show
Speaker 1: the film to the audience. The film was not complete
Speaker 1: and still needed numerous edits and changes. This would be
Speaker 1: a noted noted as a rough first cut. These cuts
Speaker 1: often contain place cards for video that's not ready, music
Speaker 1: filler that's not the music in the film. Blake was
Speaker 1: told by Sony not to show the film. Blake defied
Speaker 1: their orders and effectively stole the hard drive with the
Speaker 1: film and brought it on the plane with her, and
Speaker 1: she admits to taking the film without permission. So wow.
Speaker 1: She then tells the audience that she and Colleen are
Speaker 1: going to be Jane and I don't understand. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: gene influencers. At the premiere, Blake wore a pair of
Speaker 1: nineteen thousand dollars Jenes to the event. I am not
Speaker 1: liking the her no. And then here Colleen Coover was
Speaker 1: completely aware this was against the studio guidelines and she
Speaker 1: didn't seem to care. The audience was then busted to
Speaker 1: see the film the next day. This is an example
Speaker 1: of Blake hijacking the film and using her star power
Speaker 1: to disregard the directions of the studio, and it's also
Speaker 1: another example of Blake trivializing the content of the film
Speaker 1: by bragging about her wardrobe. Okay, so here's we can
Speaker 1: hear her doing this. Okay, let me get it ready.
Speaker 4: We're gonna Brandon hasn't seen it, so we're gonna sit
Speaker 4: through it and just know it's literally this is not
Speaker 4: a bit. It's literally not done. So, like we like
Speaker 4: to be honest, Like what really happened is we were like,
Speaker 4: we're going to show the movie and the studio was like, no, no,
Speaker 4: you're going to show twenty minutes. So no, no, we're going
Speaker 4: to show the movie. And they're like, it's not done.
Speaker 4: And I was like, you don't fucking care, that's true.
Speaker 4: They're like if everything's not perfect and it's not done,
Speaker 4: and what if we're going to change things.
Speaker 5: I was like, these are the people who authored the
Speaker 5: success of the book. Like you guys are what her
Speaker 5: and like you guys.
Speaker 1: Seeing the movie is like she just does her own.
Speaker 2: It is an early early cut, and yeah, we're so
Speaker 2: excited and you know, like busting two thousand people to
Speaker 2: a movie theater sounds like a chaotic nightmare.
Speaker 1: So I just need you all times, like all my
Speaker 1: excited and patient.
Speaker 2: This is a huge honor early, so.
Speaker 1: We want to drop the movie with me on the airplane.
Speaker 5: Like I have like a folder, like a disc, like
Speaker 5: a hard drive.
Speaker 3: Sounds manic, So yeah.
Speaker 5: It's And the other thing is I have the cutest
Speaker 5: jeans ever that I'm wearing tomorrow night.
Speaker 4: Also not sponsored, but they're really really cute and they've.
Speaker 5: Got flowers on them and they're cut out. And then
Speaker 5: Colleen saw my jeans and then she was inspired because
Speaker 5: she loves me and she's cute jeans, and I was like,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, we're going to be gane influencers.
Speaker 1: So what the I mean?
Speaker 3: I mean she sounds manic. I mean like she's like something.
Speaker 3: So when you look at some of these texts, remember
Speaker 3: one of the fights or one of the things that
Speaker 3: Blake accused justin of is making comments to other people
Speaker 3: going I need to make sure I can lift her.
Speaker 3: He's like how much? He asked maybe someone because he's
Speaker 3: training he has like a bad bag, And I was like,
Speaker 3: how much am I going to be able to lift her?
Speaker 3: And she took it, you know, as like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: you're saying I'm fat? What Okay? This was one of
Speaker 3: the beginning this kind of was one of the hugest
Speaker 3: sparks of the beginning of this whole.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know him as as well as you do.
Speaker 3: I know him so well. Yeah, I know you know.
Speaker 1: Him, Oh my god, specially I can say something about
Speaker 1: him too, like I know you guys are best friend.
Speaker 3: Stop friend? Yes?
Speaker 1: Stop? Okay, I know that I don't know him. But
Speaker 1: from everything that we've seen and you know, does he
Speaker 1: come off as kind of smarmy? Yes, but can you
Speaker 1: I imagine he's not. He's so careful with his words
Speaker 1: all the time, like in a weird way almost that
Speaker 1: he would never be like, yeah, she's pretty heavy, Like,
Speaker 1: am I gonna be able to lift her? He's not
Speaker 1: Broie at all? Right, So okay, here it says here
Speaker 1: it is my Justicin. My Justin is not Broie. This
Speaker 1: is one of his This is one of the you
Speaker 1: know things on the website. Lively and Baldoni exchanged texts.
Speaker 1: She jokes with him, so Blake jokes with Justin that
Speaker 1: she is twenty pounds from her goal weight. Justin responds.
Speaker 1: She says that in a text. He responds by putting
Speaker 1: up thumbs down, disliking the message basically saying I don't agree.
Speaker 1: He wasn't saying yeah, that's right, bitch, get there. He
Speaker 1: was saying, no, you look great. You're not twenty pounds away,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yes.
Speaker 3: Then then Blake writes your friendship your friendship support helped
Speaker 3: me with that also, so thank you, not holding to
Speaker 3: anything professionally, just thank you for the friendship side. In
Speaker 3: the meantime, she writes all that, and then prayer emojis.
Speaker 3: He writes, for real, I was worried about you. That's
Speaker 3: a lot to hold. I'm really happy for you. So
Speaker 3: I think he's saying a lot to hold of stress
Speaker 3: in your eye about losing weight. Yes, he says, I
Speaker 3: bet you feel lighter, and she says, I really do,
Speaker 3: only twenty pounds to go. And he disliked that too.
Speaker 3: He wrote no, like thumbs down on that, and then
Speaker 3: sent a heart, and then she sent like two smiley
Speaker 3: face hearts. I mean like, I don't huh. This is ridiculous,
Speaker 3: is so ridiculous. What was the other sound we had
Speaker 3: another sound up? What was the ronan?
Speaker 1: We don't have a sound up on that, but I
Speaker 1: have a little I can just read you what it is. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I guess, okay, so hold on a second, I
Speaker 1: have to find that. Uh, but you know the backstory
Speaker 1: of it, basically ronan Pharaoh. They somebody's claiming that he
Speaker 1: has ties to the New York Times story about justin Okay,
Speaker 1: and he says he's made a made a statement. My
Speaker 1: practice is to not give oxygen to attacks that are
Speaker 1: a and then in asterix, complete fabrication, being pushed in
Speaker 1: bad faith. But since you engaged thoughtfully, Colin, what you
Speaker 1: discribe I love when like journalists use really good grammar
Speaker 1: on Instagram, and.
Speaker 3: He's a pretty smart guy.
Speaker 1: I know it makes me happy, though. Hmm. What you
Speaker 1: describe as quote so many connections quote is me being
Speaker 1: seen at drinks with an old friend. I want to
Speaker 1: give him. I want to give him like an old
Speaker 1: like an accent, an old friend.
Speaker 3: Grown in Pharaoh.
Speaker 1: He's grown into I know, I know, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: it's weird that I want to give him this like
Speaker 1: like he's like he's you know, I don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: With whom I have never discussed this matter, I've been
Speaker 1: on the receiving end of many attack campaigns like this,
Speaker 1: and when the level of disregard for the facts. Is
Speaker 1: this intense claims about me being the most powerful full
Speaker 1: journalists at an outlet with which I have no contact,
Speaker 1: or the architect of a story I have not touched.
Speaker 1: My experiences often that those who have fought in are
Speaker 1: already so uncritically eager for an easy outlet for outrage.
Speaker 1: All right, they have a little interest in factual correctives.
Speaker 1: But for what it's worth, even the most ideological framework
Speaker 1: animating this one is suspect. It's a journalist, not an activist,
Speaker 1: my reporting, my reporting on sex crimes. Okay, hold on,
Speaker 1: I have to go to the next page.
Speaker 3: But I don't even know what he's saying. Is he
Speaker 3: defending Justin? I's sort of God, I don't understand what
Speaker 3: he's I'm not following this. Maybe I'm daft.
Speaker 1: He's saying that he didn't have anything to do with
Speaker 1: it being reported.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well here's something else. Let me tell you this
Speaker 3: from the text more tech. Okay, So Blake, you know,
Speaker 3: they're back and forth, and he writes to her, I've
Speaker 3: been deep, been deep into writing really fun with you
Speaker 3: in mind. Fun not the right word exciting. He's saying,
Speaker 3: He's like writing her character. He's like trying to get
Speaker 3: her amped up, right. She writes a happy face, prayer
Speaker 3: emoji or something, You're safe here. He hurts that I'm
Speaker 3: not sure what that even meant. Then Lively shares her
Speaker 3: concerns with Baldoni about the forthcoming sex scenes that their
Speaker 3: characters would shoot, asking what's the chance that we can
Speaker 3: do body scenes at the end of the schedule.
Speaker 1: That's not unheard of? That question that's fair because she
Speaker 1: sounds like obsessed with losing weight. Your wait exactly.
Speaker 3: Justin tries to reassure her that she does not need
Speaker 3: to stress about her body and emphasizes his determination to
Speaker 3: work collaboratively with her to ensure her comfort, which means
Speaker 3: probably I won't show this. I won't show that. Whatever
Speaker 3: you need, if we need a stunt double, whatever, you know, whatever,
Speaker 3: it has to be right. So this goes back and forth.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to read. I'm trying, she says,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of back and forth. But she says,
Speaker 3: kicking ass. But it's a ton of work with not
Speaker 3: a ton of time. What's the chance we can do
Speaker 3: body scenes at the end of the schedule, he says, honestly,
Speaker 3: there's one billion moving parts to schedule right now that
Speaker 3: I just turned in the rewrite, and so they are
Speaker 3: hard at work too much of it. He's basically saying, no,
Speaker 3: I guess I want to know that. I want you
Speaker 3: to know that you will, that you will look amazing.
Speaker 3: Anything that you are insecure about, we will talk through
Speaker 3: and we will get creative together, and we will make
Speaker 3: you comfortable. I don't want you to stress about your body.
Speaker 3: It's the last thing you need. As soon as I
Speaker 3: have a rough schedule that's even remotely accurate, I will
Speaker 3: share it with you, and I will make sure that
Speaker 3: the team keeps this all in mind as well. I
Speaker 3: think that's pretty accommodating.
Speaker 1: Very socommodating. How how do people normally get that much
Speaker 1: to accommodation for you know, you're on a schedule, the
Speaker 1: studio is trying to make a movie. You agreed to
Speaker 1: be in the movie even though you just had a baby,
Speaker 1: so like, and he's still trying to completely accommodate you.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of texts between these two.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's hundreds of pages of this, and he
Speaker 3: just I mean it's all out there now. When I
Speaker 3: say he, I mean like his lawyers or his PR
Speaker 3: team like put this together. I'm sure he didn't, but.
Speaker 1: It just is interesting that when you you know that,
Speaker 1: how quickly I jumped to like wow, you know, he
Speaker 1: said they're going to bury her, But it was out
Speaker 1: of context, and it does sound like he was as
Speaker 1: soon as he found out about this claim of hers
Speaker 1: that he did go into the mode of like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: I didn't do it. Maybe he felt like I didn't
Speaker 1: do anything wrong, and now I've got to hit back harder,
Speaker 1: got to protect myself. So the whole thing, and you know,
Speaker 1: I was saying that whole thing is like so gross
Speaker 1: on both their parts, but maybe I don't know, are
Speaker 1: we gonna find out that it's more gross on her part.
Speaker 3: It just the thing that's confusing is like why why
Speaker 3: go after Like what is the motive?
Speaker 1: Because maybe she just got upset about something and then
Speaker 1: felt like I'm gonna bury this fucking guy. Maybe her
Speaker 1: friends got her. I don't know, I'm making stuff up now,
Speaker 1: but all pole people got her friends. You know, she
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to do these scenes anymore.
Speaker 1: I've changed my mind, and he was like, well, we
Speaker 1: kind of have. I don't know, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know, like this is a different I don't know
Speaker 1: what this was. In regard to this, on page eleven
Speaker 1: of one hundred and sixty eight pages of ten, she says,
Speaker 1: you're the absolute best. Thank you, prayer hard and what
Speaker 1: did you? Uh?
Speaker 3: And what you did inspired me. I love what we're
Speaker 3: gonna do. So this is like, I guess, still pre production.
Speaker 3: And he just put an empty he doesn't, he's not
Speaker 3: inappropriately just put you know, an exclamation mark on that.
Speaker 3: And then she said, I can send you my pass
Speaker 3: at the roof. So she's talking about the roof scene
Speaker 3: that she to rewrite. Yeah, she wrote, so I can.
Speaker 3: So she's manipulate. She's also totally manipulating, like, you're so
Speaker 3: great anyway, So I rewrote all all these pages. If
Speaker 3: you want to, just like take a look at it.
Speaker 3: I know we didn't say I was going to do that,
Speaker 3: but here you go. But you're awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then he keeps trying to accommodate that, right.
Speaker 1: That's the thing that's weird is he keeps going like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, great, great, yes, let me have a
Speaker 1: look at it. And then remember he wanted she wanted
Speaker 1: access to the final draft file.
Speaker 3: Yes, so she could just says permanent changes in there.
Speaker 3: This is when she says, you, this is the whole thing.
Speaker 3: If you knew me longer, flirt, flirt, you know, I'd
Speaker 3: so I'm so flirty.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then he he didn't write back for a while,
Speaker 3: but then he wrote, sorry, I was just crying my
Speaker 3: eyes out as kids and family just left for another
Speaker 3: five weeks and it was a shit show because he
Speaker 3: was sad that his family was leaving. So he was like, hey,
Speaker 3: remember I'm not on the clock right now, and I've
Speaker 3: got like family and stuff I'm dealing with. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: And then he goes, yes, like send the draft, send
Speaker 3: her readwrites. So he's basically probably probably not like he's
Speaker 3: probably like, oh my god, there's a lot going on,
Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah, send it. It's so important to the
Speaker 3: film and can't and can't wait to play and find it.
Speaker 3: He's saying, yes, I'm open to that, yeah, but only
Speaker 3: only as much as he wants to be. He doesn't
Speaker 3: even have.
Speaker 1: To be, that's the thing. He's the director. And there's
Speaker 1: also some texts in there from Colleen Hoover, basically from
Speaker 1: different people saying not only are should you be the director?
Speaker 1: But like, I think you should play the guy, like yeah,
Speaker 1: consider it, you know what I mean that this is
Speaker 1: not him, like this is all of them. They were
Speaker 1: all decided.
Speaker 3: And I later heard her later say she she went
Speaker 3: with Blake. Once she teamed up with Blake, She's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I heard this thing like a live thing where because
Speaker 3: he's much older. He's much younger in the book, right,
Speaker 3: He's like in he's in med school in the book,
Speaker 3: and then now he's like an actual doctor. They had
Speaker 3: to make him older if it was going to be him.
Speaker 3: And even I I hadn't read the book, but I
Speaker 3: thought he read. When I finally watched it, I was like,
Speaker 3: he reads creepy. I don't think he's the right guy
Speaker 3: for it. But you're right. They they wanted the author.
Speaker 3: They wanted him. They didn't like, you know, he didn't
Speaker 3: beg them to know. That's what he's saying, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so that and but she's changed her tune, Colleen,
Speaker 3: She's like, yeah, I mean, no comment. There was something
Speaker 3: where she was like being a little shady with Blake.
Speaker 3: So Blake either got to her. And then that's another question.
Speaker 3: Why do the people that support Blake, support Blake, Well.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's because Blake, if you well, I
Speaker 1: think it's because Blake was way more famous than he is. Right,
Speaker 1: Blake was thought of as like the age, like Jenny Slate, though,
Speaker 1: like we trust Jenny Slate, I feel she doesn't like justice.
Speaker 3: She seems at the beginning to have, you know, kind
Speaker 3: of being supportive of Blake. I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe there's stuff I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope this goes.
Speaker 3: I hope this really is something we can watch in core.
Speaker 3: This is going to be a lot more interesting to
Speaker 3: me than then than Johnny Gap, I think so. I mean,
Speaker 3: they'll make it boring, they'll find a way, but you guys,
Speaker 3: there's hundreds of pages.
Speaker 1: The thing that's the thing that's kind of better about
Speaker 1: this one is we get to feel like we're detectives
Speaker 1: on the case. And with the other one, they were
Speaker 1: both mentally ill, right, so it was sad like you're like,
Speaker 1: she she definitely had some kind of amber heard had
Speaker 1: some kind of like.
Speaker 3: Personality disorder, and he was he's just drunk and an
Speaker 3: ale narcissist.
Speaker 1: Right, So there were really no heroes, and in this
Speaker 1: one there probably are no heroes either. But it's just
Speaker 1: interesting because I do keep changing my mind.
Speaker 3: A little bit. Like he wrote, he wrote this long
Speaker 3: thing about a scene they were going to do, and
Speaker 3: then he wrote, PS, Happy Mother's Day. You're such a
Speaker 3: fucking amazing mom. It's been a joy to witness how
Speaker 3: much you love and adore your kids. I mean, what
Speaker 3: what a monster? And then uh and then she she writes,
Speaker 3: this note means so much to me. I'm so excited
Speaker 3: to start tomorrow, but it's only one piece of the
Speaker 3: journey we started months ago, and I'm grateful for all
Speaker 3: we've built so far. Thank you for caring so much
Speaker 3: and putting every bit of you into show into showing it.
Speaker 3: You have given so much of your time to fight
Speaker 3: for the great and it has not gone unappreciated or
Speaker 3: unseen for one moment. Let's do this shit now again.
Speaker 3: That's pre filming, I guess, so, I guess it all
Speaker 3: went down while they were filming. I mean, there's some
Speaker 3: things that weren't great, but she's I'm not Some of the.
Speaker 1: Things that she's claiming that I was all up in
Speaker 1: arms about don't seem to have actually been portrayed correctly,
Speaker 1: because one of the things was the coming into her
Speaker 1: trailer when she's breastfeeding, and there's a text in here
Speaker 1: that I just had a kind of lost she says,
Speaker 1: where she says, hey, can you come to my dressing
Speaker 1: room on'm pumping or I'm just pumping. Yeah, I have this,
Speaker 1: by the way, May of twenty twenty three. This is
Speaker 1: part of this very long thing the website. Justin approached
Speaker 1: Lively in her trailer to discuss necessary wardrobe adjustments and
Speaker 1: his desire to have more control of wardrobe decisions going forward.
Speaker 1: Before the meeting, Justin texted Heath, I don't know who
Speaker 1: that is, saying that he was terrified of saying the
Speaker 1: wrong thing, and asked Heath to send him prayers. So
Speaker 1: that's not that's not great. He's very scared of her.
Speaker 1: He's scared of the backlash because she keeps, you know,
Speaker 1: she wants to do everything that she wants to do,
Speaker 1: and he's scared that he's going to get backlashed for
Speaker 1: being problematic about what he wants her to be wearing what.
Speaker 3: He wants her to wear. It absolutely is such a
Speaker 3: last The meeting lasted an hour and a half. As
Speaker 3: noted in the Daily Wrap email Blake's complaint. Her CRD
Speaker 3: complaint falsely characterized the exchange as a lengthy outburst after
Speaker 3: delayed filming that caused Crewe to wait for hours while
Speaker 3: Justin in Lively's dressing room. Justin did briefly become emotional
Speaker 3: during the conversation, but only in response to what he
Speaker 3: believed was a genuine compliment from Blake, praising his work
Speaker 3: as a director and an actor, which I believe actually, yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 3: because he's so grateful for like she's trying to turn
Speaker 3: that into he was being emotional and crazy about like
Speaker 3: the clothes. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: She I mean, I'm sorry, but I don't what are
Speaker 1: her smoking guns? Because everything that she said he has refuted.
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like he's coming with like trying to
Speaker 1: take her down. He seems like he's trying to protect
Speaker 1: like say, here's the thing she've said about me, and
Speaker 1: here's the proof that that's not true. M M. They
Speaker 1: thought about everything she tried to fight him about, every
Speaker 1: piece of wardrobe. Here is this her or him? I
Speaker 1: think this is him saying, okay, this is the last
Speaker 1: thing Blake content was not.
Speaker 3: There's so much more. But Blake continued to share her
Speaker 3: open and unguarded thoughts on life and her character. She
Speaker 3: talked about wardrobe choices to make her character much sexier.
Speaker 3: She sends justin the following text, using sexy both in
Speaker 3: person and on text just describe her character. Lively took
Speaker 3: no issue using the word sexy herself and set the
Speaker 3: president for the use of the word being acceptable. So
Speaker 3: I guess, she wrote, We'll show you both ways. But
Speaker 3: Beanie is much sexier. It's the look feels very TV
Speaker 3: without it, especially with a crop top in the show.
Speaker 3: It justifies the rest of the skin. And also as
Speaker 3: a girl, it would check out walking down the street.
Speaker 3: I would check out a girl walking down the street
Speaker 3: because it washes the effort off the rest of the look. Whatever,
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, Like can you imagine? Yeah, Okay, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 1: Are we going to disappoint? Are people going to be
Speaker 1: mad at me?
Speaker 3: No, we're on the same page.
Speaker 1: Noise. I know, Well, because they'll just pick on me,
Speaker 1: because they'll just be like, Cecily's great and she's like
Speaker 1: so pro women.
Speaker 3: Well, they just also know that I'm focused right now
Speaker 3: on like Simon Labaughn, like I have other things to
Speaker 3: think about, and this is sort of all you have.
Speaker 1: I just feel like I might be all of a
Speaker 1: sudden on the wrong side of this again. I just
Speaker 1: want to say for the record that I don't.
Speaker 3: Know, we don't know. That's it, and then we're uncovering
Speaker 3: as we go. Yeah, like you all are, let's say
Speaker 3: hello and now in regular life.
Speaker 1: I just I also just wanted to be known that
Speaker 1: Justin Baldoni, if I knew him in real life, is
Speaker 1: not my style of person.
Speaker 3: He's not my type. It's a little much, yeah, from
Speaker 3: the delts to the whole thing, but you.
Speaker 1: Know, but also just to the constant like kind of
Speaker 1: smarmy like kissassi, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't I wouldn't enjoy that same and I wouldn't
Speaker 3: enjoy being serving Blake as a waiter either. I don't
Speaker 3: think sounds like so either way, she could be amazing.
Speaker 3: We're gonna say hello to our bard A f friends.
