WEBVTT - It Ends With Us: Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni And A Theory

0:00:11.189 --> 0:00:13.909
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast.

0:00:14.829 --> 0:00:17.869
<v Speaker 2>Mom and Mayor acknowledges the traditional owners of land and

0:00:17.949 --> 0:00:30.469
<v Speaker 2>waters that this podcast is recorded on Hello and welcome

0:00:30.509 --> 0:00:33.749
<v Speaker 2>to canceled the podcast that looks silly celebrity crimes and

0:00:33.789 --> 0:00:36.869
<v Speaker 2>assigns charges and sentences to them so we can all

0:00:36.909 --> 0:00:39.309
<v Speaker 2>move on with our lives. I'm Plus Stephens and I'm

0:00:39.389 --> 0:00:43.109
<v Speaker 2>Jesse Stephens, and today we needed to talk about the

0:00:43.229 --> 0:00:45.509
<v Speaker 2>drama around it ends with us.

0:00:45.869 --> 0:00:48.149
<v Speaker 3>We all have an idea of what life can be.

0:00:48.749 --> 0:00:51.109
<v Speaker 2>I want to see you again. Now you see me.

0:00:51.709 --> 0:00:52.389
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean?

0:00:55.389 --> 0:01:06.989
<v Speaker 3>That special connection you feel, that first kiss for fifteen seconds,

0:01:08.029 --> 0:01:09.589
<v Speaker 3>that's whole it teakes.

0:01:11.229 --> 0:01:15.829
<v Speaker 2>To completely change everything. A disclaimer, we have not yet

0:01:15.869 --> 0:01:19.069
<v Speaker 2>seen the movie. I think that's the point because the

0:01:19.069 --> 0:01:21.749
<v Speaker 2>culture hasn't seen it, but the culture has feelings. Yes,

0:01:22.349 --> 0:01:26.029
<v Speaker 2>and as Blake Lively says, we'll get our florals, grab

0:01:26.069 --> 0:01:29.149
<v Speaker 2>our girlfriends and go see a movie that's about domestic violence.

0:01:29.389 --> 0:01:32.549
<v Speaker 2>We'll do that. But it's actually not crucial for us

0:01:32.629 --> 0:01:34.829
<v Speaker 2>to have seen the movie in order to talk about

0:01:34.829 --> 0:01:38.829
<v Speaker 2>all the drama around it. I will say, though it's

0:01:38.869 --> 0:01:43.229
<v Speaker 2>a lot of controversy for what is by all accounts

0:01:43.429 --> 0:01:46.269
<v Speaker 2>and average film. I heard people compare it to the

0:01:46.389 --> 0:01:49.509
<v Speaker 2>Lifetime movie. I thought that sounds lovely. No, No, it's

0:01:49.549 --> 0:01:52.549
<v Speaker 2>like apparently quite bad because it's like, okay, so you've

0:01:52.549 --> 0:01:55.309
<v Speaker 2>got the source material. The book's terrible, Claire, you can't

0:01:55.349 --> 0:01:57.829
<v Speaker 2>be saying the book's terrible. I couldn't get through it.

0:01:57.869 --> 0:01:59.469
<v Speaker 2>I read a few pages. Oh, so you try to

0:01:59.469 --> 0:02:01.749
<v Speaker 2>read it. I think you're gonna upset a lot of

0:02:01.749 --> 0:02:04.109
<v Speaker 2>people by saying the books. I don't think anyone thinks

0:02:04.149 --> 0:02:08.589
<v Speaker 2>it's a literary feat. I don't so you make a

0:02:08.669 --> 0:02:11.429
<v Speaker 2>movie out of that book. But it's like fifty Shades.

0:02:11.509 --> 0:02:14.709
<v Speaker 2>I loved fifty Shades. Loved the book, Yeah, loved the films.

0:02:14.949 --> 0:02:17.349
<v Speaker 2>Would do any other medium you wanted to explore it,

0:02:17.349 --> 0:02:18.869
<v Speaker 2>if you wanted to do a stage play, if you

0:02:18.909 --> 0:02:20.509
<v Speaker 2>wanted to do an album, if you wanted to do

0:02:20.589 --> 0:02:24.029
<v Speaker 2>an interpretive dance, I would be first in line. True

0:02:24.229 --> 0:02:27.309
<v Speaker 2>and unlike when other people say it's bad, Oh, I

0:02:27.309 --> 0:02:29.949
<v Speaker 2>think it's okay to say that it's bad. Okay, we

0:02:29.989 --> 0:02:32.709
<v Speaker 2>can enjoy things that are bad. That's what most of

0:02:32.749 --> 0:02:35.749
<v Speaker 2>this podcast is about. But the quality of it doesn't

0:02:35.789 --> 0:02:38.149
<v Speaker 2>really matter because it's a box office hit, and it

0:02:38.229 --> 0:02:41.069
<v Speaker 2>made over one hundred million dollars at the global box

0:02:41.109 --> 0:02:45.429
<v Speaker 2>office during its first week in theaters. Some context. It

0:02:45.549 --> 0:02:48.549
<v Speaker 2>Ends with Us is a movie based on the best

0:02:48.549 --> 0:02:51.629
<v Speaker 2>selling book of the same name by Colleen Hoover. It's

0:02:51.629 --> 0:02:53.429
<v Speaker 2>called It Ends with Us, but then the sea call

0:02:53.509 --> 0:02:55.469
<v Speaker 2>is it starts with Us. I have It starts with

0:02:55.549 --> 0:02:57.589
<v Speaker 2>Us on my bookcase when I get confused because that

0:02:57.589 --> 0:02:59.989
<v Speaker 2>feels like it should be the first and it ends

0:03:00.029 --> 0:03:02.309
<v Speaker 2>with Us should be the sea cal That's a feedback

0:03:02.349 --> 0:03:03.949
<v Speaker 2>I would give a football pitch to me and are

0:03:03.949 --> 0:03:06.309
<v Speaker 2>an editor. I think I gave you that. Yeah, yeah,

0:03:06.309 --> 0:03:08.469
<v Speaker 2>Why would you give me the second? Because I didn't

0:03:08.469 --> 0:03:11.069
<v Speaker 2>know it was the second? Okay, it tells the story

0:03:11.189 --> 0:03:14.149
<v Speaker 2>of Lily Bloom. You know what it's like, what it's like.

0:03:14.189 --> 0:03:17.069
<v Speaker 2>When I turned thirteen or fourteen, Mom wanted to encourage reading.

0:03:17.109 --> 0:03:19.429
<v Speaker 2>She gave me the fourth Harry Potter. To this day,

0:03:20.269 --> 0:03:21.909
<v Speaker 2>I still am a bit pissed off about Hary Potter

0:03:21.909 --> 0:03:23.309
<v Speaker 2>because I'm like, I just feel like it didn't start

0:03:23.349 --> 0:03:25.749
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning. Well, not for you, Jesse, because you've

0:03:25.749 --> 0:03:27.909
<v Speaker 2>got a big, fat book with no context. Because Mum

0:03:27.949 --> 0:03:30.149
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize it was part of a series. I was like,

0:03:30.189 --> 0:03:35.349
<v Speaker 2>who is Harry A lot of knowledge and then it's like, yeah,

0:03:35.389 --> 0:03:38.629
<v Speaker 2>you never went on the journey, not Blie didn't. I couldn't.

0:03:38.669 --> 0:03:42.229
<v Speaker 2>I was thrust in four episodes late. Well, it tells

0:03:42.229 --> 0:03:45.669
<v Speaker 2>the story of Lily Bloom. Let's just pause on that character.

0:03:45.829 --> 0:03:48.509
<v Speaker 2>She's a florist. But I know that Lily Bloom is

0:03:48.509 --> 0:03:51.389
<v Speaker 2>played by Blake Lively and she has escaped a rough

0:03:51.469 --> 0:03:54.709
<v Speaker 2>childhood and she opens her dream flower store and soon

0:03:54.789 --> 0:03:59.389
<v Speaker 2>meets her seemingly dream guy, Ryle Kincaid. Ryle is played

0:03:59.389 --> 0:04:02.909
<v Speaker 2>by Justin Baldoni from Jane the Vergin, who also directed

0:04:02.949 --> 0:04:05.869
<v Speaker 2>the film. You may know him from Jane the Virgin

0:04:06.069 --> 0:04:09.029
<v Speaker 2>or his other work, which we're going to discuss. From

0:04:09.029 --> 0:04:12.069
<v Speaker 2>the beginning, it was clear that there was tension between

0:04:12.069 --> 0:04:16.149
<v Speaker 2>the cast. Justin Baldoni was not photographed with his fellow

0:04:16.189 --> 0:04:19.149
<v Speaker 2>cast members at the New York premiere on August six,

0:04:19.629 --> 0:04:23.229
<v Speaker 2>and sat in another theater the night of the premiere.

0:04:23.309 --> 0:04:26.949
<v Speaker 2>That's so right, it's giving I have COVID, but he

0:04:27.069 --> 0:04:30.989
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have COVID. No, no, he might. That's not related

0:04:31.029 --> 0:04:36.509
<v Speaker 2>to cinema. He didn't introduce the movie alongside Lively, and

0:04:37.469 --> 0:04:40.949
<v Speaker 2>he was also absent from pared or group interviews and

0:04:41.109 --> 0:04:44.709
<v Speaker 2>from promotional appearances for the duration of the press tour

0:04:44.749 --> 0:04:46.829
<v Speaker 2>where it would be like all the other cast together.

0:04:47.269 --> 0:04:50.189
<v Speaker 2>For example, there's a video for Vanity Fair as part

0:04:50.189 --> 0:04:52.989
<v Speaker 2>of the publicity for It Ends with Us, where Lively

0:04:53.069 --> 0:04:57.069
<v Speaker 2>and five of her co stars test on how well

0:04:57.109 --> 0:05:00.149
<v Speaker 2>they know each other and Baldoni is missing. When I

0:05:00.189 --> 0:05:02.549
<v Speaker 2>initially saw this and everyone was going they're not doing

0:05:02.549 --> 0:05:05.989
<v Speaker 2>press together, I thought, maybe this is really smart, because

0:05:05.989 --> 0:05:08.469
<v Speaker 2>it does feel more efficient to split up to as

0:05:08.469 --> 0:05:13.389
<v Speaker 2>they say, divide. If you and I were promoting canceled,

0:05:13.429 --> 0:05:15.309
<v Speaker 2>it feels like a waste of our time to go

0:05:15.349 --> 0:05:18.189
<v Speaker 2>and do the same media when we could split and

0:05:18.229 --> 0:05:20.389
<v Speaker 2>do double the amount. I could go to Russia, you

0:05:20.389 --> 0:05:23.269
<v Speaker 2>could go to Spain. Yeah, exactly right. If they'd have us,

0:05:24.029 --> 0:05:28.949
<v Speaker 2>they wouldn't the first hurdle language. And so I thought, oh,

0:05:29.029 --> 0:05:31.469
<v Speaker 2>maybe they're just being smart. But then I realized it's

0:05:31.549 --> 0:05:33.109
<v Speaker 2>just not a thing that you do. You have to

0:05:33.109 --> 0:05:37.189
<v Speaker 2>promote with your co stars. Yes. Then there's Instagram. Blake

0:05:37.269 --> 0:05:40.989
<v Speaker 2>Lively follows a bunch of fellow members of the cast,

0:05:41.069 --> 0:05:45.069
<v Speaker 2>including people like Jenny Slat. Does she follow Colleen Yes,

0:05:45.789 --> 0:05:49.309
<v Speaker 2>but she does it, and Colleen follows her, Yes, but

0:05:49.989 --> 0:05:53.909
<v Speaker 2>Blake Lively does not follow Baldoni. On is just I

0:05:54.029 --> 0:05:56.789
<v Speaker 2>can't express how important this is. It's a piece of information,

0:05:56.949 --> 0:06:00.029
<v Speaker 2>It's everything I need to know, like why everything why

0:06:00.669 --> 0:06:05.469
<v Speaker 2>it's intentional? And then Baldoni follows the whole cast. As

0:06:05.509 --> 0:06:10.509
<v Speaker 2>for Hoover, she follows Lively but not Baldoni, but she

0:06:10.749 --> 0:06:15.429
<v Speaker 2>once did because just a few months ago she was

0:06:15.429 --> 0:06:19.069
<v Speaker 2>posting photos with him to promote the film. Most of

0:06:19.149 --> 0:06:23.589
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the cast follow Lively but not Baldoni.

0:06:24.109 --> 0:06:26.349
<v Speaker 2>If I if I was in a courtroom and I've

0:06:26.349 --> 0:06:29.149
<v Speaker 2>been exclusively watching courtroom drummers for the last few weeks,

0:06:29.509 --> 0:06:31.829
<v Speaker 2>I'd be strutting up and down, and I'd be looking

0:06:31.869 --> 0:06:33.389
<v Speaker 2>at the jury. You got to get nice and close

0:06:33.429 --> 0:06:35.149
<v Speaker 2>to the jury so that they trust you, And I

0:06:35.189 --> 0:06:40.749
<v Speaker 2>would say, they all follow each other. He follows them,

0:06:41.269 --> 0:06:44.189
<v Speaker 2>they don't follow him. Make of that what you will,

0:06:44.229 --> 0:06:48.029
<v Speaker 2>and then I would get the hammer and go case closed.

0:06:48.829 --> 0:06:51.709
<v Speaker 2>There's something fishy going on, as we've said before, where

0:06:51.749 --> 0:06:54.069
<v Speaker 2>they's smoke, there's fine, there's a reason why they're not

0:06:54.109 --> 0:06:57.189
<v Speaker 2>following him. Speaking to us weekly a couple of weeks

0:06:57.269 --> 0:06:59.789
<v Speaker 2>after the movie, came out A sauce said there were

0:06:59.829 --> 0:07:02.989
<v Speaker 2>two camps on the film, Team Blake and team Justin.

0:07:03.909 --> 0:07:07.069
<v Speaker 2>This creative struggle set the tone for the negative experience

0:07:07.109 --> 0:07:10.069
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes and grew into them not speaking anymore.

0:07:10.429 --> 0:07:12.589
<v Speaker 2>That must be so hard when you're staging. I mean,

0:07:12.629 --> 0:07:15.309
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen the film, but I imagine sex scenes. Apparently

0:07:15.309 --> 0:07:18.829
<v Speaker 2>their chemistry is great on screen. Chemistry is one of

0:07:18.829 --> 0:07:22.269
<v Speaker 2>the things that even the bad reviews say is storming.

0:07:23.229 --> 0:07:25.749
<v Speaker 2>I know it's hard when you and I have unfollowed

0:07:25.749 --> 0:07:27.229
<v Speaker 2>each other off the mat and then we have to

0:07:27.269 --> 0:07:29.989
<v Speaker 2>come in and do a sill little canceled record, very

0:07:29.989 --> 0:07:33.429
<v Speaker 2>awkward in the room, and people say the chemistry, the chemistry,

0:07:33.469 --> 0:07:37.629
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, well, it's fake. I don't unfollow anyone.

0:07:37.989 --> 0:07:40.989
<v Speaker 2>I once unfollowed someone and it's the most passive, aggressive

0:07:40.989 --> 0:07:42.669
<v Speaker 2>thing I've ever done. And I think all the time,

0:07:42.709 --> 0:07:45.589
<v Speaker 2>how she must know. I don't think she knows. Maybe

0:07:45.629 --> 0:07:49.349
<v Speaker 2>in my life I have one feud, one feud out

0:07:49.429 --> 0:07:53.429
<v Speaker 2>of thirty three years, I still follow her. Why would

0:07:53.429 --> 0:07:57.069
<v Speaker 2>I not follow her? I want to keep them tabs.

0:07:57.109 --> 0:08:00.469
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe she doesn't follow me. Oh, I'm sorry, yeah,

0:08:00.869 --> 0:08:04.869
<v Speaker 2>but she hasn't blocked me, did lovely Blake hasn't blocked him? Well,

0:08:04.909 --> 0:08:07.669
<v Speaker 2>we don't know. Mmm, we don't know, do we? But

0:08:07.709 --> 0:08:11.509
<v Speaker 2>there's an unfollowing. I assume we'll get to yes. Well,

0:08:11.789 --> 0:08:14.709
<v Speaker 2>the questions are why is everyone fighting? Whose fault is it?

0:08:15.029 --> 0:08:17.069
<v Speaker 2>My structure for today is as follows. Now, this is

0:08:17.069 --> 0:08:20.669
<v Speaker 2>an interesting structure because we've got headings and subheadings heading

0:08:20.989 --> 0:08:24.269
<v Speaker 2>Justin Valdoni, subheadings who are you? Why are people mad

0:08:24.309 --> 0:08:26.749
<v Speaker 2>at you? Why do you need a PR crisis manager?

0:08:27.029 --> 0:08:33.429
<v Speaker 2>What have you said? Heading backlively? Subheadings, uncomfortable interviews, cross promo?

0:08:34.349 --> 0:08:36.869
<v Speaker 2>Did we need to do cross promo? I have seen

0:08:37.269 --> 0:08:42.629
<v Speaker 2>some reviews about okayduct and it can make some look messy.

0:08:42.749 --> 0:08:44.509
<v Speaker 2>We should try it. I don't think we can get it.

0:08:44.549 --> 0:08:46.669
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to try something. Yeah, me too, and an

0:08:46.709 --> 0:08:50.949
<v Speaker 2>awkward moment from twenty sixteen, then moving on to a

0:08:50.989 --> 0:08:56.709
<v Speaker 2>discussion segment. Yeah, there's some discussion about these Justin Valdoni,

0:08:56.749 --> 0:08:59.189
<v Speaker 2>who are you? Okay, because the thing about Justin Valdoni,

0:08:59.189 --> 0:09:00.989
<v Speaker 2>who are you? Is it we're all pretending we knew

0:09:01.269 --> 0:09:04.469
<v Speaker 2>your name. Justin Valdoni? Oh yeah, James and Jane the

0:09:04.549 --> 0:09:07.469
<v Speaker 2>version all right, Jesse, you watched three episodes. You didn't

0:09:07.509 --> 0:09:09.749
<v Speaker 2>know that name. You had to look up how to

0:09:09.789 --> 0:09:13.229
<v Speaker 2>pronounce it. Yeah, be real, Well he's one of those

0:09:13.229 --> 0:09:16.149
<v Speaker 2>people then you look at it and go oh oh.

0:09:15.349 --> 0:09:19.509
<v Speaker 2>He is an actor and filmmaker. He played Raphael in

0:09:19.669 --> 0:09:24.189
<v Speaker 2>Jane the Virgin and he directed that movie Five Feet Apart,

0:09:24.469 --> 0:09:27.309
<v Speaker 2>with Cole Sprouse and Hailey lou Richardson.

0:09:27.949 --> 0:09:28.669
<v Speaker 4>Human touch.

0:09:30.549 --> 0:09:32.669
<v Speaker 1>We need that touch from the one we love almost

0:09:32.669 --> 0:09:35.309
<v Speaker 1>as much as we need her to breathe.

0:09:35.949 --> 0:09:39.109
<v Speaker 2>I never understood that until I couldn't have it a

0:09:39.309 --> 0:09:42.829
<v Speaker 2>phase of work, no idea, what like, you're just speaking, Okay.

0:09:42.989 --> 0:09:48.149
<v Speaker 2>Hailey lou Richardson played Porsche in White Lotus and five

0:09:48.189 --> 0:09:50.589
<v Speaker 2>feet Apart was this. I haven't seen it, and so

0:09:50.629 --> 0:09:53.389
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably really going to upset people by saying a

0:09:53.509 --> 0:09:57.509
<v Speaker 2>terrible movie about two young people with cystic fibrosis who

0:09:57.509 --> 0:10:01.309
<v Speaker 2>couldn't be any closer than six feet apart. The poster

0:10:01.629 --> 0:10:04.949
<v Speaker 2>is two young hot people standing apart, and it's not

0:10:04.989 --> 0:10:08.269
<v Speaker 2>got good reviews. Well, it's just one of those movies.

0:10:09.389 --> 0:10:14.069
<v Speaker 2>Part Yeah, that's clearly four it's very feet apart, and

0:10:14.109 --> 0:10:17.709
<v Speaker 2>make about netball. Okay, five feet apart, it's very a

0:10:17.789 --> 0:10:20.629
<v Speaker 2>walk to remember, Yeah, they are standing five feet apart

0:10:20.749 --> 0:10:23.709
<v Speaker 2>to me. Twenty nineteen romantic drama film. Okay, I need

0:10:23.749 --> 0:10:26.709
<v Speaker 2>to know, like a vibe Tomato vibe. Yeah, okay. It

0:10:26.829 --> 0:10:31.429
<v Speaker 2>was his directorial debut, and then in May twenty sixteen,

0:10:31.709 --> 0:10:34.709
<v Speaker 2>he launched a time lapse video app for pregnant women

0:10:34.749 --> 0:10:38.909
<v Speaker 2>and new moms called Belly Bump. It was fun. Oh

0:10:38.989 --> 0:10:41.509
<v Speaker 2>that's fun. I think that's fun. I'd like it, Jesse,

0:10:41.669 --> 0:10:44.629
<v Speaker 2>any vibe yet not enough to tell me? Okay, I

0:10:44.629 --> 0:10:47.149
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's seventy nine percent audience score. I don't

0:10:47.189 --> 0:10:49.909
<v Speaker 2>think this looks like an absolute We need to know

0:10:49.989 --> 0:10:53.429
<v Speaker 2>from council listeners. I don't know who Cole Sprouse, the

0:10:53.429 --> 0:10:56.989
<v Speaker 2>Sprouse Twins. Who are the Sprouse twins? How is there

0:10:56.989 --> 0:10:59.309
<v Speaker 2>a set of twins? I don't know about it? Okay, Jesse.

0:10:59.469 --> 0:11:04.029
<v Speaker 2>The Sprouse twins played the kid in Big Daddy. Was cute. Yeah,

0:11:04.069 --> 0:11:06.949
<v Speaker 2>in Big Daddy with Adam Sandler, and then they had

0:11:06.989 --> 0:11:09.949
<v Speaker 2>Sweet Life of Zack and Cody and then one of

0:11:09.989 --> 0:11:14.469
<v Speaker 2>the Riverdale I had no idea. Yeah, that would be

0:11:14.509 --> 0:11:16.229
<v Speaker 2>why I look at this film and I say, is

0:11:16.269 --> 0:11:20.549
<v Speaker 2>it an Oscar winner? Probably not. It's giving kissing booth

0:11:20.749 --> 0:11:23.789
<v Speaker 2>but I can have more serious themes all right, okay,

0:11:24.109 --> 0:11:26.989
<v Speaker 2>which I feel like it ends with us perhaps, Yeah,

0:11:26.989 --> 0:11:30.029
<v Speaker 2>in the same genre. That's why I wasn't surprised and

0:11:30.069 --> 0:11:32.229
<v Speaker 2>I learned he had directed this. I got it. He

0:11:32.309 --> 0:11:35.789
<v Speaker 2>has a podcast. I've heard about this podcast called the

0:11:35.829 --> 0:11:38.709
<v Speaker 2>Man Enough Podcast, which explores what it means to be

0:11:38.749 --> 0:11:41.589
<v Speaker 2>a man today and how rigid gender roles have affected

0:11:41.669 --> 0:11:44.869
<v Speaker 2>all people. He has also written a book released in

0:11:44.869 --> 0:11:48.949
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one called Man Enough, Undefining My Masculinity, and

0:11:49.029 --> 0:11:51.829
<v Speaker 2>a children's book in twenty twenty two called Boys Will

0:11:51.869 --> 0:11:57.189
<v Speaker 2>Be Him. Have you heard that he's been noticeably absent

0:11:57.229 --> 0:12:00.269
<v Speaker 2>on that podcast recently he disappeared and his co host

0:12:00.309 --> 0:12:02.229
<v Speaker 2>has come back, and no one's acknowledged he's not on

0:12:02.269 --> 0:12:07.709
<v Speaker 2>it anymore. Hmmm, well, maybe he's busy with this drama. Yeah,

0:12:07.749 --> 0:12:10.349
<v Speaker 2>but if you were busy with drama, yeah, and it

0:12:10.389 --> 0:12:11.949
<v Speaker 2>was someone else sitting in that seat, I get on

0:12:11.989 --> 0:12:15.589
<v Speaker 2>and go. Claire is, as you may know, busy with drama. Yeah,

0:12:15.909 --> 0:12:18.749
<v Speaker 2>someone That is why we have a sub in. Okay. Yeah,

0:12:18.829 --> 0:12:23.669
<v Speaker 2>it's pretending you never existed, which is weird. For it's weird. Okay,

0:12:23.989 --> 0:12:26.309
<v Speaker 2>that seems important. We'll keep that in the back of

0:12:26.349 --> 0:12:29.869
<v Speaker 2>our mind, Now, why were people mad at you? As

0:12:29.909 --> 0:12:32.629
<v Speaker 2>we've said, there have been plenty of signs of tension

0:12:32.789 --> 0:12:36.149
<v Speaker 2>between Baldoni and Lively and Baldoni and the rest of

0:12:36.189 --> 0:12:39.069
<v Speaker 2>the cast of It Ends with Us. The week after

0:12:39.109 --> 0:12:43.269
<v Speaker 2>the film's release, sources told TMZ that Baldoni asked an

0:12:43.269 --> 0:12:47.389
<v Speaker 2>on set trainer how much Lively wait because he had

0:12:47.389 --> 0:12:49.349
<v Speaker 2>to pick her up in a scene and he had

0:12:49.389 --> 0:12:52.269
<v Speaker 2>a long standing back injury. I've been having a bit

0:12:52.269 --> 0:12:55.309
<v Speaker 2>of trouble sleeping, and it's to do with this situation. Okay, Because,

0:12:55.349 --> 0:12:58.709
<v Speaker 2>on the one hand, feels like an inappropriate question. She

0:12:58.869 --> 0:13:02.229
<v Speaker 2>had given birth to her fourth trive months I think

0:13:02.229 --> 0:13:05.149
<v Speaker 2>you need to know the number. Yeah. On the other hand,

0:13:05.429 --> 0:13:09.509
<v Speaker 2>like I understand if you've got a back injury. I'm

0:13:09.509 --> 0:13:11.269
<v Speaker 2>not a set of sk ales, but I feel like

0:13:11.869 --> 0:13:13.749
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you could someone and work out if

0:13:13.749 --> 0:13:17.109
<v Speaker 2>they're you could know the hundred kilos or nine hundred,

0:13:17.109 --> 0:13:18.829
<v Speaker 2>and then you just what was he going to go

0:13:18.869 --> 0:13:21.669
<v Speaker 2>and do some weights? Yeah? To pick her up? And

0:13:21.749 --> 0:13:23.269
<v Speaker 2>if you can't pick her up because you've got a

0:13:23.309 --> 0:13:28.629
<v Speaker 2>long standing back injury, then you're the director, don't understand. Yeah, Actually,

0:13:28.669 --> 0:13:31.989
<v Speaker 2>great point. It's like, does it matter to you what

0:13:32.189 --> 0:13:35.789
<v Speaker 2>her weight is to the kilogram? Yes, exactly. I just

0:13:35.869 --> 0:13:38.309
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I don't like I'm very anti diet culture.

0:13:38.309 --> 0:13:39.509
<v Speaker 2>And you know when you get on a plane and

0:13:39.509 --> 0:13:41.709
<v Speaker 2>they're like like a small plane and they're like, we

0:13:41.749 --> 0:13:43.829
<v Speaker 2>need to weigh you, and I'm like, sounds fat phobic

0:13:43.829 --> 0:13:45.589
<v Speaker 2>and it's not. It's so that the plane doesn't crash.

0:13:45.749 --> 0:13:48.669
<v Speaker 2>But in this situation. I have never been in that situation.

0:13:48.869 --> 0:13:50.709
<v Speaker 2>I wish that was a thing. Yeah. I was recently

0:13:50.709 --> 0:13:52.949
<v Speaker 2>on a work thing and it's a small plane and

0:13:52.949 --> 0:13:56.189
<v Speaker 2>then they're like we jet, Like no, I've never been

0:13:56.229 --> 0:13:58.389
<v Speaker 2>in a private jet. This was a work thing. I

0:13:58.429 --> 0:14:02.429
<v Speaker 2>was a small plane and they weighed all our baggage,

0:14:02.589 --> 0:14:05.949
<v Speaker 2>which fine, but then they weigh us and I was like,

0:14:06.029 --> 0:14:11.909
<v Speaker 2>I don't engage with this. Yeah, that feel unnecessary. There

0:14:11.909 --> 0:14:15.349
<v Speaker 2>are also reports that Baldoni lingered too long in a

0:14:15.429 --> 0:14:18.349
<v Speaker 2>kiss during filming, as well as reports that Lively and

0:14:18.429 --> 0:14:22.869
<v Speaker 2>Baldoni had big creative differences. See even that right lingered

0:14:22.909 --> 0:14:26.549
<v Speaker 2>too long. It's subjective because it's like it's the idea

0:14:26.589 --> 0:14:28.589
<v Speaker 2>that when you kiss, we're both going to go through

0:14:28.629 --> 0:14:33.509
<v Speaker 2>Mississippi mmmmm, or are we just feeling it or like,

0:14:33.589 --> 0:14:35.669
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I think it's interesting that that's something

0:14:35.709 --> 0:14:38.909
<v Speaker 2>that has come out left the set, like clearly it's

0:14:38.949 --> 0:14:42.069
<v Speaker 2>not like ooh, sorry, you wanted that to end a

0:14:42.069 --> 0:14:44.549
<v Speaker 2>little bit earlier, like yeah, it feels bitty. So the

0:14:44.549 --> 0:14:47.869
<v Speaker 2>two pieces of information suggest that Baldoni made people fel

0:14:47.909 --> 0:14:50.989
<v Speaker 2>uncomfortable and so yeah, yeah, so as a producer, Lively

0:14:51.189 --> 0:14:53.029
<v Speaker 2>how to say in the decisions around the film and

0:14:53.109 --> 0:14:55.189
<v Speaker 2>during the press too. Art she has shared how her

0:14:55.309 --> 0:14:59.429
<v Speaker 2>husband Ryan Reynolds contributed. At the New York premiere, she

0:14:59.509 --> 0:15:02.189
<v Speaker 2>told e Me and Ryan help each other. We work

0:15:02.229 --> 0:15:05.669
<v Speaker 2>together so much. The iconic rooftop scene. My husband actually

0:15:05.669 --> 0:15:09.309
<v Speaker 2>wrote it. Nobody knows that he wrote it, she continues.

0:15:09.549 --> 0:15:12.349
<v Speaker 2>He works everything I do. I work on everything he does.

0:15:12.669 --> 0:15:15.269
<v Speaker 2>So his wins, his celebrations are mine, and mine are his.

0:15:15.589 --> 0:15:17.869
<v Speaker 2>He's all over this film. If I was a writer,

0:15:17.909 --> 0:15:20.749
<v Speaker 2>I'd be annoyed. Well, yeah, the problem is there's screenwriter

0:15:20.989 --> 0:15:23.949
<v Speaker 2>credited with writing the whole thing, and her name's Christy Hall.

0:15:23.989 --> 0:15:26.669
<v Speaker 2>And when she was asked if there was input from Reynolds,

0:15:26.789 --> 0:15:29.789
<v Speaker 2>she wasn't aware of any. So she said there were

0:15:29.829 --> 0:15:32.309
<v Speaker 2>a couple of little things that I thought had been improvised.

0:15:32.549 --> 0:15:34.789
<v Speaker 2>When I saw a cart I was like, oh, that's cute.

0:15:34.789 --> 0:15:37.189
<v Speaker 2>That must have been a cute improvised thing. So if

0:15:37.229 --> 0:15:40.989
<v Speaker 2>I'm being told that Ryan wrote that, then great, how wonderful.

0:15:41.509 --> 0:15:47.309
<v Speaker 2>There are rumors that he wrote it during the writer strike. Hmm, yeah,

0:15:47.549 --> 0:15:50.789
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about your husband writing the scene. If

0:15:50.829 --> 0:15:53.989
<v Speaker 2>you're the director. If I'm in a movie and then

0:15:54.029 --> 0:15:57.589
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, hey, my husband wrote this, it's like, Okay,

0:15:58.709 --> 0:16:00.869
<v Speaker 2>who's your husband. It's like, well, he's literally Ryan Reynolds,

0:16:00.909 --> 0:16:05.469
<v Speaker 2>And You're like, I guess feels annoyed? It does? It does?

0:16:06.189 --> 0:16:09.749
<v Speaker 2>Why do you need a PR crisis manager? So in

0:16:09.789 --> 0:16:12.109
<v Speaker 2>all of these it's easy to look at them and

0:16:12.149 --> 0:16:14.389
<v Speaker 2>think like, Okay, So there's a few little stories coming

0:16:14.429 --> 0:16:18.989
<v Speaker 2>from the set, but there's no absolutely huge Harvey Weinstein

0:16:19.269 --> 0:16:22.829
<v Speaker 2>esque red flags. I want to know more about the

0:16:22.909 --> 0:16:25.069
<v Speaker 2>lingering kiss, and I want to know more about the

0:16:25.069 --> 0:16:28.269
<v Speaker 2>weight comment, and I think knowing about them in the

0:16:28.309 --> 0:16:32.709
<v Speaker 2>context of a film about domestic violence is interesting. But

0:16:32.949 --> 0:16:36.989
<v Speaker 2>The Hollywood Reporter has shared that Baldoni has hired veteran

0:16:37.189 --> 0:16:40.509
<v Speaker 2>PR crisis manager Melissa Nathan in the wake of the

0:16:40.509 --> 0:16:44.069
<v Speaker 2>film's release. She is the same crisis manager who also

0:16:44.229 --> 0:16:47.989
<v Speaker 2>represented Johnny Depp during his defamation trial against his ex

0:16:48.069 --> 0:16:52.029
<v Speaker 2>wife Amber Heard. It appears he hired Nathan in response

0:16:52.069 --> 0:16:56.909
<v Speaker 2>to negative headlines that were coming out originally. Now, what

0:16:57.029 --> 0:17:01.509
<v Speaker 2>do you think about this? I'm thinking about the Hootold

0:17:01.549 --> 0:17:08.149
<v Speaker 2>Amber podcast and how algorithms and TikTok, which I think

0:17:09.069 --> 0:17:15.309
<v Speaker 2>dictates the cultural take on anything. It was manipulated. I

0:17:15.349 --> 0:17:17.789
<v Speaker 2>remember being pulled down a rabbit hole and coming to

0:17:17.829 --> 0:17:21.069
<v Speaker 2>work one day and being like, guys, I don't know

0:17:21.109 --> 0:17:22.869
<v Speaker 2>what to tell you. Johnny Depps innocent and everyone was like,

0:17:22.949 --> 0:17:24.869
<v Speaker 2>have you spent three hours on TikTok before you came

0:17:24.949 --> 0:17:26.949
<v Speaker 2>to work? And I was like, that is what I

0:17:26.989 --> 0:17:30.069
<v Speaker 2>have done. Yes, And I was wrong because I'd been

0:17:30.069 --> 0:17:33.389
<v Speaker 2>manipulated by But wasn't it like a bunch of likes

0:17:33.429 --> 0:17:36.589
<v Speaker 2>were coming through from bots that weren't real and then

0:17:36.749 --> 0:17:40.629
<v Speaker 2>and Twitter happened on Twitter and everything, so that that's

0:17:40.669 --> 0:17:42.429
<v Speaker 2>just in the back of my mind. And then when

0:17:42.429 --> 0:17:45.429
<v Speaker 2>I go on TikTok now and I see that it

0:17:45.549 --> 0:17:50.229
<v Speaker 2>is all in justin Baldoni's favor, I am becoming quite

0:17:50.269 --> 0:17:54.269
<v Speaker 2>skeptical of how organic that actually is. I think the

0:17:54.309 --> 0:17:57.269
<v Speaker 2>fact he hired a PR crisis manager, suggests he's clearly

0:17:57.309 --> 0:18:00.509
<v Speaker 2>nervous about something. Do you think of that? Or if

0:18:00.509 --> 0:18:03.909
<v Speaker 2>there's a few bad headlines. If I'm really famous and

0:18:03.909 --> 0:18:05.749
<v Speaker 2>there's a few bad headlines and I'm worried about it

0:18:05.789 --> 0:18:09.549
<v Speaker 2>getting out of control, I would probably just hire one. Anyway,

0:18:09.709 --> 0:18:11.709
<v Speaker 2>if I was like Lively, I would be hiring a

0:18:11.709 --> 0:18:13.949
<v Speaker 2>crisis PR manager right now. Yeah, I know, I wonder

0:18:13.949 --> 0:18:19.309
<v Speaker 2>if she has. She's probably hired Ryan. She isn't gonna help. Yeah,

0:18:19.389 --> 0:18:25.709
<v Speaker 2>But people have criticized him for having this particular person

0:18:25.949 --> 0:18:29.069
<v Speaker 2>who worked on the Johnny Depp Amberherds, especially given the

0:18:29.109 --> 0:18:32.269
<v Speaker 2>context of that case, like it went to court and

0:18:32.429 --> 0:18:37.389
<v Speaker 2>the original court case found that he was more likely

0:18:37.469 --> 0:18:42.349
<v Speaker 2>than not Johnny Depp was guilty of certain abuses against Amberhert.

0:18:42.469 --> 0:18:46.189
<v Speaker 2>So I feel as though that's not someone you want

0:18:46.189 --> 0:18:49.349
<v Speaker 2>to be employing at the same time as you're promoting

0:18:49.349 --> 0:18:54.069
<v Speaker 2>your domestic violence movie. Yeah. So I just think that's interesting.

0:18:54.389 --> 0:18:58.469
<v Speaker 2>Now what has he said? Baldoni has made a few

0:18:58.629 --> 0:19:02.589
<v Speaker 2>very subtle comments about the complexities and difficulties behind the scenes.

0:19:02.989 --> 0:19:06.229
<v Speaker 2>He told Today at the beginning of August, every movie

0:19:06.269 --> 0:19:09.069
<v Speaker 2>is a miracle, and then of course, you're navigating complex

0:19:09.149 --> 0:19:12.589
<v Speaker 2>personalities and trying to get everybody on the same page

0:19:12.589 --> 0:19:15.909
<v Speaker 2>with the same vision, and mistakes are always made, and

0:19:15.949 --> 0:19:18.549
<v Speaker 2>then you figure out how to move past them. I'm

0:19:18.589 --> 0:19:21.509
<v Speaker 2>a best idea wins person, and I always have been

0:19:21.549 --> 0:19:24.549
<v Speaker 2>to a fault, sometimes to a point where at times

0:19:24.629 --> 0:19:26.669
<v Speaker 2>I think I've had people wonder if I know what

0:19:26.749 --> 0:19:29.069
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing or if I have a point of view,

0:19:29.309 --> 0:19:32.469
<v Speaker 2>because I'm so willing to have my vision changed interest.

0:19:32.709 --> 0:19:36.109
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that inspirational creativity comes through one person.

0:19:37.029 --> 0:19:39.109
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to listen to everybody, and that didn't

0:19:39.109 --> 0:19:41.509
<v Speaker 2>happen all the time. There were just moments where I

0:19:41.549 --> 0:19:45.029
<v Speaker 2>would get out of the way too much. This guy

0:19:45.149 --> 0:19:48.149
<v Speaker 2>is just just telling us he's pissed. He's like, I

0:19:48.229 --> 0:19:51.109
<v Speaker 2>couldn't say no to Blake and Ryan. I think that's

0:19:51.109 --> 0:19:53.589
<v Speaker 2>what he's trying to say. I think he's trying to

0:19:53.629 --> 0:19:59.949
<v Speaker 2>say that he had a very collaborative, democratic, creative process,

0:20:00.509 --> 0:20:03.709
<v Speaker 2>and that for the likes of Blake, that made her

0:20:03.789 --> 0:20:06.829
<v Speaker 2>feel like he wasn't the boss, he wasn't in control,

0:20:07.189 --> 0:20:11.109
<v Speaker 2>he didn't have executive presence. But he's been very overtly

0:20:11.109 --> 0:20:12.269
<v Speaker 2>complimentary of Lively.

0:20:12.669 --> 0:20:15.829
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know how smart and creative

0:20:15.869 --> 0:20:18.589
<v Speaker 1>she really is. I think she's best known as an actress,

0:20:18.629 --> 0:20:22.789
<v Speaker 1>and of course she's you know, a fashion, you know icon,

0:20:22.949 --> 0:20:25.269
<v Speaker 1>but she is so much more than that. She is

0:20:25.629 --> 0:20:28.509
<v Speaker 1>a dynamic creative. She had her hands in every part

0:20:28.509 --> 0:20:30.829
<v Speaker 1>of this production, and everything she touched you made better.

0:20:31.309 --> 0:20:34.589
<v Speaker 2>I think that the most damning part of all of this.

0:20:34.789 --> 0:20:37.029
<v Speaker 2>It's a red carpet interview. Is it a comment about

0:20:37.029 --> 0:20:37.509
<v Speaker 2>the director?

0:20:37.709 --> 0:20:37.909
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:20:37.989 --> 0:20:42.469
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's my favorite one where Tonight asked Baldoni if

0:20:42.509 --> 0:20:45.389
<v Speaker 2>he would direct an adaptation of the sequel. It starts

0:20:45.389 --> 0:20:46.789
<v Speaker 2>with us, and here's what he said.

0:20:46.989 --> 0:20:47.509
<v Speaker 1>Arts with that.

0:20:47.869 --> 0:20:49.829
<v Speaker 2>So I'm hoping to see you back in the double

0:20:49.869 --> 0:20:50.429
<v Speaker 2>duty role.

0:20:50.549 --> 0:20:52.909
<v Speaker 1>I think there are better people for that one.

0:20:53.029 --> 0:20:54.909
<v Speaker 4>I think there are better people for that one.

0:20:55.109 --> 0:20:56.789
<v Speaker 1>I think Blake Lively is ready to direct. That's what

0:20:56.829 --> 0:20:57.909
<v Speaker 1>I made.

0:20:58.749 --> 0:21:02.469
<v Speaker 2>I think she's ready to direct. What that tells me

0:21:03.109 --> 0:21:07.029
<v Speaker 2>is that Blake Lively tried to direct my film. Yeah,

0:21:07.109 --> 0:21:10.109
<v Speaker 2>I'm better and now I will step away. I also

0:21:10.109 --> 0:21:11.949
<v Speaker 2>so I want to add that he's been praised very

0:21:11.989 --> 0:21:15.869
<v Speaker 2>widely for how he's handled the film's sensitive nature and

0:21:15.869 --> 0:21:18.869
<v Speaker 2>how he's really put a spotlight on domestic violence. He

0:21:18.949 --> 0:21:22.069
<v Speaker 2>has a domestic violence helpline in his Instagram bio, and

0:21:22.109 --> 0:21:24.749
<v Speaker 2>his media around the movie has been very focused on

0:21:24.789 --> 0:21:27.269
<v Speaker 2>what people can get out of it and the power

0:21:27.309 --> 0:21:30.829
<v Speaker 2>it has to hopefully help people. But all the tiktoks

0:21:30.869 --> 0:21:35.189
<v Speaker 2>are compilations of what he has said to promo it

0:21:35.309 --> 0:21:37.429
<v Speaker 2>ends with Us, and what Blake has said, and they're

0:21:37.429 --> 0:21:39.789
<v Speaker 2>making fun of Blake and they're saying he is perfect.

0:21:40.549 --> 0:21:42.909
<v Speaker 2>What he has said is not perfect, And I would

0:21:42.989 --> 0:21:45.909
<v Speaker 2>just read just one little bit. Basically, what I'm trying

0:21:45.909 --> 0:21:48.709
<v Speaker 2>to do is stress test if you wanted to tear

0:21:48.749 --> 0:21:52.029
<v Speaker 2>apart what he says, you could. Yeah, well, if you

0:21:52.109 --> 0:21:55.189
<v Speaker 2>wanted to tear apart what anyone was to say on

0:21:55.229 --> 0:21:58.549
<v Speaker 2>the publicity trail of a movie about domestic violence, which

0:21:58.589 --> 0:22:03.789
<v Speaker 2>is an incredibly serious, incredibly urgent topic, then when they

0:22:03.829 --> 0:22:11.029
<v Speaker 2>answer a question about anything frivolous or engage with you know,

0:22:11.109 --> 0:22:13.189
<v Speaker 2>any fun chat, you could say they're not taking it

0:22:13.189 --> 0:22:16.509
<v Speaker 2>seriously enough, Like that's just a trap everyone would fall into, exactly,

0:22:16.549 --> 0:22:18.389
<v Speaker 2>And in a Red Carpet interview, he said.

0:22:18.389 --> 0:22:21.149
<v Speaker 1>If a Lily Bloom in real life, consider in this

0:22:21.189 --> 0:22:23.789
<v Speaker 1>theater and maybe make a different choice.

0:22:23.509 --> 0:22:25.229
<v Speaker 5>For herself and was made for her.

0:22:25.349 --> 0:22:26.589
<v Speaker 2>Maybe she sees.

0:22:26.389 --> 0:22:29.029
<v Speaker 1>Herself on that screen and chooses something different for herself.

0:22:29.509 --> 0:22:32.589
<v Speaker 2>Would we say abusive relationships are something you choose for yourself?

0:22:33.269 --> 0:22:35.709
<v Speaker 2>Like that, I'm just saying that is the That is

0:22:35.749 --> 0:22:39.589
<v Speaker 2>the non gracious interpretation of what he said. Yeah, although

0:22:39.629 --> 0:22:41.669
<v Speaker 2>I also understand the reading that he is a man

0:22:42.109 --> 0:22:44.949
<v Speaker 2>who has form in this. He's been talking about toxic

0:22:44.989 --> 0:22:47.789
<v Speaker 2>masculinity for a lot of years. He's got that podcast.

0:22:47.829 --> 0:22:50.989
<v Speaker 2>I actually do think he comes across really well in interviews,

0:22:50.989 --> 0:22:55.989
<v Speaker 2>Like I understand the sympathy that people have for him,

0:22:56.229 --> 0:22:57.669
<v Speaker 2>and in fact, the more I look at it, the

0:22:57.709 --> 0:23:01.389
<v Speaker 2>more I'm just like, it's creative differences. Yeah, and I

0:23:01.429 --> 0:23:04.669
<v Speaker 2>think that happens on a lot of projects. What's interesting

0:23:04.709 --> 0:23:08.989
<v Speaker 2>to me is that they could not resolve resolve them

0:23:09.269 --> 0:23:12.469
<v Speaker 2>even to the point of being able to sit next street. Yeah. Yeah.

0:23:12.629 --> 0:23:24.789
<v Speaker 2>Moving on to Blake Lively, it goes without saying that

0:23:24.829 --> 0:23:27.629
<v Speaker 2>Blake Lively is an actor known for Sisterhood of the

0:23:27.629 --> 0:23:30.389
<v Speaker 2>Traveling Pants and Gossip Girl and The Town and the

0:23:30.389 --> 0:23:33.269
<v Speaker 2>Town and the Shark One, which was one of my favorites,

0:23:33.509 --> 0:23:36.149
<v Speaker 2>The Shallows. I have seen it more than once. Yeah. Yeah, No,

0:23:36.269 --> 0:23:38.549
<v Speaker 2>that was a great because she's on a rock and

0:23:39.149 --> 0:23:42.269
<v Speaker 2>that's the The shark is what can only be described

0:23:42.309 --> 0:23:46.109
<v Speaker 2>as stalking her, as we know sharks do, yeah, waiting

0:23:46.709 --> 0:23:51.149
<v Speaker 2>waiting for her to fall in to swim back. She's isolated.

0:23:51.269 --> 0:23:54.549
<v Speaker 2>Now the shark does have the taste of blood on

0:23:54.629 --> 0:23:58.469
<v Speaker 2>its tongue, and then I think there's an incident with

0:23:58.549 --> 0:24:02.589
<v Speaker 2>a seagull. It's honestly the real of her best work. Yeah, no,

0:24:02.629 --> 0:24:07.389
<v Speaker 2>it is. It's fantastic. Yeah, the shark is really the villain. Okay,

0:24:07.509 --> 0:24:10.549
<v Speaker 2>the villain. Yeah. She is a fashion icon and it's

0:24:10.629 --> 0:24:12.389
<v Speaker 2>married to Ryan Reynolds, and she's a bit of a

0:24:12.429 --> 0:24:16.549
<v Speaker 2>business mogul. Is she She had Betty's Buzz, which was

0:24:16.589 --> 0:24:20.189
<v Speaker 2>like a kind of soda company, and now that's Betty's

0:24:20.189 --> 0:24:24.429
<v Speaker 2>Booth and we'll get to that. Okay, okay, because that's

0:24:24.469 --> 0:24:27.469
<v Speaker 2>interesting that she's got a soda company because Scarlett Johansson,

0:24:27.509 --> 0:24:33.029
<v Speaker 2>who is Ryan Reynolds's also was into fizzy waters. And

0:24:33.109 --> 0:24:35.429
<v Speaker 2>you know you've been doing this podcast. She was into

0:24:35.429 --> 0:24:38.549
<v Speaker 2>fizzy water because remember she chose it over charity. You

0:24:38.589 --> 0:24:42.389
<v Speaker 2>can hear that now episode about Scarlett Johansson. Okay, that's

0:24:42.389 --> 0:24:45.069
<v Speaker 2>a weird amount of knowledge. Okay. When it comes to

0:24:45.109 --> 0:24:49.149
<v Speaker 2>promo for It Ends with Us, Blake Lively is having

0:24:49.229 --> 0:24:56.389
<v Speaker 2>a bloody choka okay now uncomfortable interviews. In an Instagram

0:24:56.469 --> 0:24:59.229
<v Speaker 2>video promoting It Ends with Us, Lively says, it ends

0:24:59.229 --> 0:25:02.869
<v Speaker 2>with us is in theaters now, so it's not funny.

0:25:02.909 --> 0:25:05.389
<v Speaker 2>So grab your friends. Were your urals and head out

0:25:05.389 --> 0:25:07.069
<v Speaker 2>to see it in theaters now?

0:25:07.149 --> 0:25:09.549
<v Speaker 6>So grab your friends, where are your florals?

0:25:09.669 --> 0:25:10.789
<v Speaker 3>And to see it.

0:25:10.949 --> 0:25:13.709
<v Speaker 2>I don't see a problem with that. People thought that

0:25:13.829 --> 0:25:18.029
<v Speaker 2>was the only man. I'm only laughing because of the

0:25:18.109 --> 0:25:22.509
<v Speaker 2>tiktoks that have come since. I'm actually laughing because pajamas

0:25:22.509 --> 0:25:26.189
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, put on your pajamas, come and see

0:25:26.229 --> 0:25:26.829
<v Speaker 2>this movie.

0:25:27.029 --> 0:25:27.229
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:25:27.309 --> 0:25:30.109
<v Speaker 2>They did one fishing Lier's list and I was like, okay, right,

0:25:30.189 --> 0:25:33.389
<v Speaker 2>all right, I get it. Yeah there, which I think

0:25:33.389 --> 0:25:36.949
<v Speaker 2>it's worth noting that, like we really don't analyze that much.

0:25:37.189 --> 0:25:40.549
<v Speaker 2>It's like, look at Oppenheimer. They were like Barbieheimer and

0:25:40.589 --> 0:25:43.029
<v Speaker 2>I was like, they nearly blew up the world. That's

0:25:43.069 --> 0:25:46.469
<v Speaker 2>what that film is about. Y impending I killed a

0:25:46.469 --> 0:25:49.669
<v Speaker 2>lot of people. Yeah, which they I loved that film.

0:25:49.669 --> 0:25:53.189
<v Speaker 2>But wow did they skirt over Hiroshima? Yeah? Yeah, you

0:25:53.189 --> 0:25:56.829
<v Speaker 2>didn't look at Killian Murphy and think, oh, why is

0:25:56.869 --> 0:26:00.309
<v Speaker 2>he telling jokes when he's playing a guy who did Hiroshima.

0:26:00.349 --> 0:26:03.349
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't the whole promo how hot he was. Yeah,

0:26:03.429 --> 0:26:07.189
<v Speaker 2>and they were like Barbieheimer. Yeah, I was like no, literally,

0:26:07.269 --> 0:26:11.509
<v Speaker 2>like still in the universe, they're Michols. This was not

0:26:11.549 --> 0:26:14.069
<v Speaker 2>a good thing. So it's just a sympathetic take on

0:26:14.109 --> 0:26:16.189
<v Speaker 2>the man who invented the nuclear bomb if you really

0:26:16.269 --> 0:26:18.629
<v Speaker 2>think about it. Yeah, And I just think standards very

0:26:18.629 --> 0:26:22.029
<v Speaker 2>different for stories told by women versus stories told by men.

0:26:22.109 --> 0:26:25.229
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, people thought the whole Floral thing was a

0:26:25.269 --> 0:26:30.709
<v Speaker 2>bit insensitive considering its movie about domestic violence. Now I

0:26:30.829 --> 0:26:34.829
<v Speaker 2>understand she's in a tricky spot because she clearly she's like,

0:26:35.509 --> 0:26:38.869
<v Speaker 2>I get the subject matter of what we've made, but

0:26:39.189 --> 0:26:41.029
<v Speaker 2>I want people to go to the movies and see it.

0:26:41.109 --> 0:26:43.509
<v Speaker 2>So it needs to be a fun summer flick. Yeah,

0:26:43.549 --> 0:26:46.469
<v Speaker 2>and the genre of it ends with us. The book

0:26:47.349 --> 0:26:51.469
<v Speaker 2>was almost marketed as like not a rom com because

0:26:51.469 --> 0:26:55.869
<v Speaker 2>it's not comedy but commercial women's fiction or yeah whatever,

0:26:55.909 --> 0:27:00.229
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't dark romance. That's not how very intentional in

0:27:00.309 --> 0:27:02.509
<v Speaker 2>terms of market if you look at the cover. Yeah,

0:27:02.549 --> 0:27:04.109
<v Speaker 2>and I think you did that on purpose, because I

0:27:04.149 --> 0:27:07.549
<v Speaker 2>think there's a clever analysis of the fact that getting

0:27:07.589 --> 0:27:10.349
<v Speaker 2>people in thinking it's a love story and then it

0:27:10.469 --> 0:27:14.269
<v Speaker 2>turning out to be something very different but domestic violence situations.

0:27:14.269 --> 0:27:17.189
<v Speaker 2>To think that people you meet a monster and they're

0:27:17.189 --> 0:27:21.029
<v Speaker 2>a monster immediately is not giving women enough credit. Like

0:27:21.189 --> 0:27:24.869
<v Speaker 2>often it does start as what feels like a romantic

0:27:25.229 --> 0:27:29.229
<v Speaker 2>love story and then it descends into something really sinister,

0:27:29.429 --> 0:27:32.189
<v Speaker 2>and that's the point of the film. I think it

0:27:32.629 --> 0:27:37.189
<v Speaker 2>was originally meant to come out on Valentine's Day, yeah,

0:27:37.229 --> 0:27:41.269
<v Speaker 2>and then right yeah. So I think that maybe that's

0:27:41.309 --> 0:27:43.029
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a sign of some of the

0:27:43.029 --> 0:27:46.589
<v Speaker 2>bubbling tension about how they were going to market and

0:27:46.629 --> 0:27:49.789
<v Speaker 2>sell this film, whether it was a fun, girly movie

0:27:50.069 --> 0:27:52.469
<v Speaker 2>or if it needed to be treated very differently because

0:27:52.509 --> 0:27:55.989
<v Speaker 2>of the subject matter. Now, Blake Lively has been criticized

0:27:56.029 --> 0:27:59.189
<v Speaker 2>a lot for this particular interview.

0:27:59.429 --> 0:28:01.389
<v Speaker 4>Most of us, if we're lucky enough to run into

0:28:01.549 --> 0:28:03.909
<v Speaker 4>a celebrity in public, we only have a few moments

0:28:03.909 --> 0:28:05.709
<v Speaker 4>to maybe speak with you guys. But for people who

0:28:05.709 --> 0:28:07.869
<v Speaker 4>see this movie, who relate to the topics of this

0:28:07.949 --> 0:28:11.029
<v Speaker 4>movie on a deeply personal level, they're really going to

0:28:11.069 --> 0:28:12.429
<v Speaker 4>want to talk to you. This movie is going to

0:28:12.469 --> 0:28:14.269
<v Speaker 4>affect people, and they're going to want to tell you

0:28:14.549 --> 0:28:18.069
<v Speaker 4>about their life. So if someone understands the themes of

0:28:18.109 --> 0:28:20.829
<v Speaker 4>this movie comes across you in public and they want

0:28:20.829 --> 0:28:22.709
<v Speaker 4>to really talk to you, what's the best way for

0:28:22.789 --> 0:28:24.429
<v Speaker 4>them to be able to talk to you about this?

0:28:24.469 --> 0:28:25.709
<v Speaker 4>How would you recommend they go about it?

0:28:25.749 --> 0:28:29.269
<v Speaker 6>Like asking for my address or my phone number, or.

0:28:29.189 --> 0:28:32.269
<v Speaker 4>Like my location share. I could just location share you

0:28:32.429 --> 0:28:37.029
<v Speaker 4>and then we could I'm just curs social security number.

0:28:37.629 --> 0:28:38.429
<v Speaker 4>I'm a virgos.

0:28:38.469 --> 0:28:40.069
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, are we telling logistics?

0:28:40.109 --> 0:28:41.309
<v Speaker 6>Are we talking emotionally?

0:28:41.389 --> 0:28:44.269
<v Speaker 2>All right? In black Liveley's defense, it's a weird question.

0:28:44.349 --> 0:28:46.749
<v Speaker 2>I could try and answer that question. Well, the question

0:28:46.789 --> 0:28:48.589
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make sense. And this is the thing. Has she

0:28:48.669 --> 0:28:52.029
<v Speaker 2>been snipping interviews? Yes, where the question is bad? Also, yes,

0:28:52.589 --> 0:28:55.709
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you're trying to ask her? Too

0:28:55.829 --> 0:29:00.669
<v Speaker 2>many words? Write them down. I think that the correct answer,

0:29:00.749 --> 0:29:02.909
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think it's fair to watch an interview

0:29:02.909 --> 0:29:04.429
<v Speaker 2>and then say what the correct answer was. But the

0:29:04.469 --> 0:29:09.549
<v Speaker 2>correct answer was. Here are some great domestic violence help lines.

0:29:09.749 --> 0:29:12.269
<v Speaker 2>He's not what he asked, he didn't say. Where would

0:29:12.309 --> 0:29:14.829
<v Speaker 2>you tell them to go, he asked. He said, if

0:29:14.869 --> 0:29:18.509
<v Speaker 2>they approach you in public, yea, what would you say? Yeah,

0:29:18.789 --> 0:29:22.069
<v Speaker 2>which I think is a gotcha because what are you

0:29:22.189 --> 0:29:24.389
<v Speaker 2>meant to say? I think you meant to say.

0:29:25.309 --> 0:29:25.429
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:29:25.469 --> 0:29:26.989
<v Speaker 2>I understand that a lot of people are going to

0:29:27.349 --> 0:29:30.549
<v Speaker 2>resonate with this film and just say like, I'm always

0:29:30.549 --> 0:29:32.269
<v Speaker 2>happy to talk to people, blah blah blah, but there

0:29:32.269 --> 0:29:35.269
<v Speaker 2>are some amazing services. Like a lot of these questions,

0:29:35.629 --> 0:29:37.549
<v Speaker 2>they're designed as a bit of a gotcha. Yes, But

0:29:37.629 --> 0:29:40.669
<v Speaker 2>I do think given the subject matter, I think maybe

0:29:40.749 --> 0:29:44.109
<v Speaker 2>having a default response. Have you seen the rest of

0:29:44.109 --> 0:29:48.269
<v Speaker 2>that interview? Because that clip that you just played has

0:29:48.309 --> 0:29:50.789
<v Speaker 2>been going viral. Yeah, and if you extend it, she

0:29:50.869 --> 0:29:53.469
<v Speaker 2>gives out exact answer okay, but no one shows you

0:29:53.549 --> 0:29:56.549
<v Speaker 2>that because that makes it look like she's like making

0:29:56.629 --> 0:30:01.389
<v Speaker 2>fun of the question. Domestic violence victims yeap, a response

0:30:01.469 --> 0:30:03.309
<v Speaker 2>she's given a few times is a bit of a

0:30:03.669 --> 0:30:06.789
<v Speaker 2>diversion of the subject matter of the movie. At the

0:30:06.829 --> 0:30:10.429
<v Speaker 2>London premiere, she said, this movie covers domestic vie balance,

0:30:10.469 --> 0:30:12.469
<v Speaker 2>but what's important about this movie is that she's not

0:30:12.549 --> 0:30:14.869
<v Speaker 2>just a survivor, and she's not just a victim. While

0:30:14.909 --> 0:30:18.349
<v Speaker 2>those are huge things, they're not her identity. She defines herself,

0:30:18.389 --> 0:30:20.989
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's deeply empowering to remind people that

0:30:21.029 --> 0:30:24.069
<v Speaker 2>no one can define you, no experience can define you.

0:30:24.069 --> 0:30:27.149
<v Speaker 2>You define yourself again. That is the kind of thing

0:30:27.509 --> 0:30:30.349
<v Speaker 2>that can be interpreted whichever way you want to interpret it,

0:30:30.509 --> 0:30:35.789
<v Speaker 2>depending on that. There are domestic violence survivors who have

0:30:35.789 --> 0:30:38.589
<v Speaker 2>said that they're upset by that. Really, yeah, that are like,

0:30:38.669 --> 0:30:41.789
<v Speaker 2>I didn't choose to be defined by this. Like basically,

0:30:42.029 --> 0:30:45.549
<v Speaker 2>depending on whether you're frustrated by her, whether you're not,

0:30:45.749 --> 0:30:49.989
<v Speaker 2>you can read it. It's a Rosa's test. Rasch ak yeah,

0:30:50.109 --> 0:30:52.069
<v Speaker 2>rauschak test. I can never say it, but they are

0:30:52.069 --> 0:30:55.949
<v Speaker 2>the tests where yea, they see a donkey, a penist, yeah,

0:30:55.989 --> 0:30:59.789
<v Speaker 2>depending on you, and a lot of people blake saying

0:30:59.829 --> 0:31:03.749
<v Speaker 2>a penis yeah, but I think you're a donkey. She's

0:31:04.109 --> 0:31:06.509
<v Speaker 2>worn a lot of florals, and at the New York

0:31:06.549 --> 0:31:10.549
<v Speaker 2>premiere she wore a Vina name Is Blos wearing flows.

0:31:11.069 --> 0:31:15.189
<v Speaker 2>She a vintage Vasatchi gown that Britney Spears originally wore

0:31:15.269 --> 0:31:17.789
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and two. She told people at the

0:31:17.829 --> 0:31:21.389
<v Speaker 2>event it is Britney's actual dress and that it was

0:31:21.389 --> 0:31:24.349
<v Speaker 2>a direct nod to Britney Spears because her song every

0:31:24.389 --> 0:31:27.349
<v Speaker 2>Time is in the movie. People have been a bit

0:31:27.389 --> 0:31:30.029
<v Speaker 2>snippy about that, like, oh, we're making it about Britney

0:31:30.069 --> 0:31:32.589
<v Speaker 2>Spears and how we love Britney Spears and her dresses

0:31:32.629 --> 0:31:34.349
<v Speaker 2>and blah blah blah. One had to wear a dress,

0:31:34.389 --> 0:31:36.069
<v Speaker 2>she had to wear a dress, she had to wear something.

0:31:36.109 --> 0:31:38.029
<v Speaker 2>She had to wear a dress with Floral. Her Name'szi Bloom.

0:31:38.069 --> 0:31:41.389
<v Speaker 2>She ye, yeah, it's only so many dresses with Floral's.

0:31:41.669 --> 0:31:44.749
<v Speaker 2>One promotional clip has her giggling with her co stars

0:31:44.749 --> 0:31:48.669
<v Speaker 2>about zodiac signs. Another has her talking about wearing her

0:31:48.669 --> 0:31:53.389
<v Speaker 2>own clothes in the movie so she must exclusively yes,

0:31:54.029 --> 0:31:57.069
<v Speaker 2>and another has her talking about the music. Basically, her

0:31:57.109 --> 0:32:02.909
<v Speaker 2>interviews have been very very light in terms of the music.

0:32:03.109 --> 0:32:05.829
<v Speaker 2>She was asked about a Lana del Rey song that

0:32:05.869 --> 0:32:08.069
<v Speaker 2>plays in the film, and she says, they begged me

0:32:08.109 --> 0:32:09.909
<v Speaker 2>to take that song out of the movie. I like

0:32:09.949 --> 0:32:13.109
<v Speaker 2>the of the word they I'm not supposed to be

0:32:13.149 --> 0:32:15.669
<v Speaker 2>talking about this, but they felt like it was too

0:32:15.789 --> 0:32:17.989
<v Speaker 2>charged and heavy and things were still good with Ryle

0:32:17.989 --> 0:32:20.789
<v Speaker 2>at that point, And she goes on to explain why

0:32:21.029 --> 0:32:23.389
<v Speaker 2>she thought it was a good choice, just interesting because

0:32:23.429 --> 0:32:26.829
<v Speaker 2>you can see the creative tensions. Yeah, because they is Justin.

0:32:27.309 --> 0:32:31.589
<v Speaker 2>It is and I blocked they on Instagram. Yeah, Blake,

0:32:31.629 --> 0:32:35.869
<v Speaker 2>we know. Yeah. Well, when she's asked directly about Baldoni,

0:32:35.909 --> 0:32:39.309
<v Speaker 2>which she has been a few times, she deflects. For example,

0:32:39.629 --> 0:32:40.229
<v Speaker 2>Blake talk to.

0:32:40.269 --> 0:32:42.909
<v Speaker 4>Me about building trust with Justin, which I imagine would

0:32:42.909 --> 0:32:46.509
<v Speaker 4>be crucial when filming some of those more difficult personal scenes.

0:32:46.949 --> 0:32:47.189
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:32:47.229 --> 0:32:50.469
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this movie was was such a challenge because

0:32:50.509 --> 0:32:52.669
<v Speaker 3>you know, you have the scenes that are you know,

0:32:52.789 --> 0:32:56.949
<v Speaker 3>deeply painful and traumatic and physical, but you also have

0:32:57.069 --> 0:33:01.749
<v Speaker 3>scenes that are full of levity and light and romance.

0:33:01.909 --> 0:33:04.349
<v Speaker 3>And normally when I see this type of character like

0:33:04.469 --> 0:33:07.909
<v Speaker 3>Ryle on screen, you know what's going to happen, and

0:33:07.949 --> 0:33:10.069
<v Speaker 3>you're like, ah, that guy's full of red flags.

0:33:10.309 --> 0:33:16.069
<v Speaker 2>But like, you know, so she doesn't acknowledge him at all.

0:33:16.189 --> 0:33:18.909
<v Speaker 2>Something that I have seen said about Blake Lively, which

0:33:18.949 --> 0:33:20.709
<v Speaker 2>is true. It is not a value judgment, but it

0:33:20.789 --> 0:33:24.349
<v Speaker 2>is she likes to list things, so she likes to

0:33:24.349 --> 0:33:29.349
<v Speaker 2>be like her character is and then list seventeen shrakes.

0:33:29.189 --> 0:33:32.269
<v Speaker 6>Beauty and youth and hard work and determination and strength.

0:33:32.309 --> 0:33:34.509
<v Speaker 6>And she was in touch with her sexuality and her

0:33:34.909 --> 0:33:38.389
<v Speaker 6>a story that's emotional and it's fun and it's funny,

0:33:38.389 --> 0:33:41.349
<v Speaker 6>and it's painful, and it's scary and it's tragic and

0:33:41.389 --> 0:33:42.189
<v Speaker 6>it's inspiring.

0:33:42.589 --> 0:33:44.789
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people do. Yeah. It's a way of

0:33:44.869 --> 0:33:51.789
<v Speaker 2>filling time without saying much, because there would be a

0:33:51.869 --> 0:33:53.949
<v Speaker 2>lot that she can't talk about or she doesn't want to,

0:33:54.149 --> 0:33:56.549
<v Speaker 2>and she's just got to fill the five minutes with

0:33:56.669 --> 0:34:00.149
<v Speaker 2>that particular person. I get it. Answering the same questions, Jesse,

0:34:00.549 --> 0:34:04.109
<v Speaker 2>there are some amazing parodies of Blake Lively on this

0:34:04.189 --> 0:34:04.749
<v Speaker 2>press tour.

0:34:05.029 --> 0:34:08.109
<v Speaker 4>What was it like working with Justin Baldoni bald? No,

0:34:08.709 --> 0:34:12.149
<v Speaker 4>my husband, Ryan Reynolds is not bald but he did.

0:34:12.189 --> 0:34:14.149
<v Speaker 4>We write the script during the writer stray, why is

0:34:14.149 --> 0:34:16.549
<v Speaker 4>it important for people to see this movie in a theater?

0:34:16.869 --> 0:34:20.709
<v Speaker 4>Because community is so important. I want the movie theater

0:34:20.789 --> 0:34:24.069
<v Speaker 4>to feel like one big dance party with your girls.

0:34:24.589 --> 0:34:26.309
<v Speaker 4>I mean, what's a more fun song to dance to

0:34:26.429 --> 0:34:27.149
<v Speaker 4>than My Tears?

0:34:27.269 --> 0:34:27.829
<v Speaker 2>Ricochet?

0:34:27.909 --> 0:34:30.189
<v Speaker 4>What would you like audiences to take away from such

0:34:30.189 --> 0:34:32.869
<v Speaker 4>a serious and sensitive film?

0:34:32.909 --> 0:34:37.429
<v Speaker 2>Flowers Say what you like about her, but the marketing

0:34:37.709 --> 0:34:44.149
<v Speaker 2>has objectively on any spreadsheet, according to anyone worked, So

0:34:44.229 --> 0:34:47.109
<v Speaker 2>what of that worked for her? Or worked for the film.

0:34:47.549 --> 0:34:49.469
<v Speaker 2>Isn't there only one way it can work? Well, I

0:34:49.509 --> 0:34:52.149
<v Speaker 2>don't I think for people to go to the cinemas

0:34:52.189 --> 0:34:54.469
<v Speaker 2>to see the film. Yes, and people have gone to

0:34:54.469 --> 0:34:58.349
<v Speaker 2>the cinemas to see the film she made about domestic violence.

0:34:58.669 --> 0:35:01.709
<v Speaker 2>I have not known as many people to decide to

0:35:01.789 --> 0:35:04.029
<v Speaker 2>go to the theater for a long time as I

0:35:04.109 --> 0:35:08.029
<v Speaker 2>have in the last two weeks. So whatever Blake's doing,

0:35:08.069 --> 0:35:13.389
<v Speaker 2>even if she's wearing dresses and answering questions, however, she's

0:35:13.469 --> 0:35:16.189
<v Speaker 2>made people go to the movies, which is her job.

0:35:16.389 --> 0:35:20.709
<v Speaker 2>She also has tried to sell her mother things. Ah,

0:35:20.829 --> 0:35:24.069
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about cross promo. People think it's insensitive that

0:35:24.109 --> 0:35:26.309
<v Speaker 2>Lively appears to be using it Ends with Us to

0:35:26.349 --> 0:35:30.189
<v Speaker 2>promote her other business ventures. She launched Blake Brown her

0:35:30.229 --> 0:35:33.309
<v Speaker 2>hair care line on Instagram. While on the It Ends

0:35:33.309 --> 0:35:36.789
<v Speaker 2>with Us press tour, she also did a crossover event

0:35:36.869 --> 0:35:40.749
<v Speaker 2>with her drinks company, Betty Buzz, which she tied into

0:35:40.789 --> 0:35:44.429
<v Speaker 2>the movie with a Betty Blooms theme, and she posted

0:35:44.469 --> 0:35:47.789
<v Speaker 2>about it. You know what, I actually find the Betty

0:35:47.989 --> 0:35:52.509
<v Speaker 2>Buzz Blooms slightly more uncomfortable than anything to do with hair,

0:35:53.389 --> 0:35:59.029
<v Speaker 2>because if we're talking about domestic violence and alcohol. Well, yes,

0:35:59.789 --> 0:36:02.589
<v Speaker 2>I think the most uncomfortable part is that during an

0:36:02.629 --> 0:36:05.149
<v Speaker 2>after party for the it MS with Us premiere, she

0:36:05.269 --> 0:36:07.829
<v Speaker 2>decided to promote her drinks company by setting up an

0:36:07.949 --> 0:36:11.709
<v Speaker 2>entire themed event centered around our alcohol and cocktail names

0:36:11.789 --> 0:36:16.469
<v Speaker 2>relating to the film Jesse, Yeah, cocktails. Okay, so that

0:36:16.669 --> 0:36:19.789
<v Speaker 2>is like the caption of the Instagram post, these are

0:36:19.829 --> 0:36:23.989
<v Speaker 2>the cocktails. We have a blooming Betty Rile. You wait,

0:36:24.869 --> 0:36:28.709
<v Speaker 2>it ends with buzz Tom Colleen's I don't get it.

0:36:29.309 --> 0:36:32.309
<v Speaker 2>I guess like Colleen Hoover. Oh yeah yeah. Or if

0:36:32.349 --> 0:36:34.749
<v Speaker 2>you need something a little easier, that's just as tasty,

0:36:34.909 --> 0:36:38.349
<v Speaker 2>pick up a buzzy mocktail. Yeah see, I was listening

0:36:38.389 --> 0:36:41.749
<v Speaker 2>to something recently. A researcher on domestic violence and the

0:36:41.869 --> 0:36:46.629
<v Speaker 2>relationship between alcohol and domestic violence can't be denied. I

0:36:46.709 --> 0:36:51.269
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be naming a cocktail after Ryal. Yes. There were

0:36:51.309 --> 0:36:53.909
<v Speaker 2>a lot of comments that said things like, what a

0:36:53.949 --> 0:36:57.149
<v Speaker 2>gross way to exploit a movie about domestic violence. People

0:36:57.189 --> 0:36:59.629
<v Speaker 2>with alcohol issues are six times more likely to abuse

0:36:59.669 --> 0:37:02.469
<v Speaker 2>their partners. Promoting a film with such a powerful DV

0:37:02.629 --> 0:37:06.869
<v Speaker 2>theme with an alcohol brand is disappointing and disrespectful. The

0:37:06.949 --> 0:37:10.309
<v Speaker 2>other cross promo element is that she's really we in

0:37:10.549 --> 0:37:13.669
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool. So yeah, she's just trying to

0:37:13.669 --> 0:37:17.229
<v Speaker 2>do Barberheimer. Yes, people have accused her of exactly that.

0:37:18.109 --> 0:37:22.109
<v Speaker 2>Reynolds appeared in a skit where he jokingly interviewed Blake

0:37:22.149 --> 0:37:26.149
<v Speaker 2>Lively's love interest in the movie Atlas. Yeah, the guy

0:37:26.189 --> 0:37:29.509
<v Speaker 2>who plays Atlas, and it's just very I don't know.

0:37:29.589 --> 0:37:31.469
<v Speaker 2>I guess my question is do we need any more

0:37:31.509 --> 0:37:34.869
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Reynolds content for a project? He is not directly

0:37:34.989 --> 0:37:36.949
<v Speaker 2>say what you like about the man, but they are

0:37:37.029 --> 0:37:40.989
<v Speaker 2>number one. Okay, everyone's talking about Deadpool, Wolf Wolverine. Is

0:37:41.029 --> 0:37:44.469
<v Speaker 2>that one? Yeah? Two? Yes, which is Ryan Reynolds and

0:37:44.549 --> 0:37:47.069
<v Speaker 2>Hugh Jackman, and that's number one. And then it ends

0:37:47.069 --> 0:37:48.909
<v Speaker 2>with us as number two. No, no, no, no, it ends

0:37:48.909 --> 0:37:53.669
<v Speaker 2>with us has overtaken the opening weekend Deadpool one. Okay.

0:37:54.029 --> 0:37:56.189
<v Speaker 2>I heard Blake say something about it. So anyway, they've

0:37:56.229 --> 0:37:57.709
<v Speaker 2>been the top two, right, and they're trying to have

0:37:57.789 --> 0:38:02.029
<v Speaker 2>another Barbiekheimer moment and everyone's like, yeah, but this movie

0:38:02.149 --> 0:38:09.349
<v Speaker 2>is too serious again Oppenheimer drop a nuclear bomb? Yes, yes,

0:38:09.549 --> 0:38:12.349
<v Speaker 2>great that he went for four hours and it was

0:38:12.629 --> 0:38:14.829
<v Speaker 2>set somewhere where it was all these scientists being like,

0:38:14.829 --> 0:38:16.349
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we should create this, and then then

0:38:16.589 --> 0:38:19.509
<v Speaker 2>it'll be in the world. See it after Barbie or before,

0:38:21.869 --> 0:38:25.989
<v Speaker 2>get yourself a cocktail, have some popcorn, Barbie Heimer, where

0:38:25.989 --> 0:38:32.269
<v Speaker 2>you pink that man killed hundreds of thousands of people.

0:38:32.629 --> 0:38:36.189
<v Speaker 2>They needed to make laws where they said, don't we

0:38:36.309 --> 0:38:38.909
<v Speaker 2>know we made it, But just because you can doesn't

0:38:38.989 --> 0:38:42.549
<v Speaker 2>mean you should. Jesse an awkward moment from twenty sixteen.

0:38:43.149 --> 0:38:45.389
<v Speaker 2>In the midst of all of this, an interview from

0:38:45.469 --> 0:38:49.189
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixteen has gone viral, which is the most Internet

0:38:49.589 --> 0:38:52.069
<v Speaker 2>thing about all of this? Is it? Then we start

0:38:52.149 --> 0:38:55.829
<v Speaker 2>dredging up? Hey, what about other times when Blake Lively

0:38:55.869 --> 0:39:02.149
<v Speaker 2>has been less than ideal. Norwegian journalist Kirsty Flaher shared

0:39:02.189 --> 0:39:05.069
<v Speaker 2>an interview she did with Lively during promo for the

0:39:05.069 --> 0:39:08.669
<v Speaker 2>film Cafe Society, which is a Woody Allen film. Yeah,

0:39:08.669 --> 0:39:12.789
<v Speaker 2>I've watched this interview for Yeah. Well, let's just drop

0:39:12.829 --> 0:39:15.269
<v Speaker 2>the fact it's a Woody Allen film. We'll leave that,

0:39:16.149 --> 0:39:24.429
<v Speaker 2>but we have stated it FA like Scardro you need

0:39:24.549 --> 0:39:27.869
<v Speaker 2>to spend some time with our Scar Joe Cancel episode

0:39:27.949 --> 0:39:31.069
<v Speaker 2>in private. I will I will. Fla said the interview

0:39:31.429 --> 0:39:34.269
<v Speaker 2>made me want to quit my job. The interview opens

0:39:34.309 --> 0:39:37.349
<v Speaker 2>with her congratulating Lively on her little bump, referring to

0:39:37.389 --> 0:39:40.309
<v Speaker 2>her pregnancy, which Blake had announced Yep, she was like

0:39:40.389 --> 0:39:44.749
<v Speaker 2>quite pregnant, to which Lively congratulated Fla, who was not pregnant,

0:39:44.949 --> 0:39:49.069
<v Speaker 2>on her little bump. Then Flaw asks about the costumes

0:39:49.189 --> 0:39:52.429
<v Speaker 2>worn in the film, and Lively seems offended and questions

0:39:52.469 --> 0:39:54.909
<v Speaker 2>whether the interviewer would ask the same thing of the

0:39:54.949 --> 0:39:59.229
<v Speaker 2>men in the film. The interviewer has now done press

0:39:59.269 --> 0:40:02.709
<v Speaker 2>of her own talking about that interview and said, basically,

0:40:02.909 --> 0:40:04.869
<v Speaker 2>I still don't get why she was offended that I

0:40:04.909 --> 0:40:07.589
<v Speaker 2>mentioned her pregnancy. So a lot of the commentary is

0:40:07.629 --> 0:40:09.909
<v Speaker 2>saying that posey Parker, who's a woman next to her,

0:40:09.989 --> 0:40:12.149
<v Speaker 2>was also rude. I didn't think she was rude. I

0:40:12.189 --> 0:40:14.269
<v Speaker 2>thought that she was trying to salvage the interview. No,

0:40:14.389 --> 0:40:15.589
<v Speaker 2>I thought both of them were rude.

0:40:15.749 --> 0:40:15.989
<v Speaker 4>Really.

0:40:16.069 --> 0:40:19.509
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they spoke to each other instead of to the interviewer. Yeah,

0:40:19.509 --> 0:40:21.349
<v Speaker 2>but I thought that that was posy Parker kind of

0:40:21.349 --> 0:40:23.229
<v Speaker 2>trying to make up for I thought that she was

0:40:23.269 --> 0:40:25.269
<v Speaker 2>doing damage control. I think if you watch it again,

0:40:25.309 --> 0:40:27.229
<v Speaker 2>you can see it through the prism of she knows

0:40:27.269 --> 0:40:29.429
<v Speaker 2>the situation is uncomfortable, and she's trying to kind of

0:40:29.429 --> 0:40:33.029
<v Speaker 2>plicate both of them. I don't know, but the interviewer

0:40:33.029 --> 0:40:36.389
<v Speaker 2>has also said she still doesn't understand why Blake Lively

0:40:36.549 --> 0:40:40.869
<v Speaker 2>was upset about the costume question. It's very normal to

0:40:40.989 --> 0:40:44.629
<v Speaker 2>ask yeah about costumes. Yeah, look, I don't think Blake

0:40:44.709 --> 0:40:46.709
<v Speaker 2>was her best self in that interview. I think she

0:40:46.909 --> 0:40:51.989
<v Speaker 2>would agree, And I thought, oh, this is Baldoni's pr team, Yeah,

0:40:52.309 --> 0:40:55.509
<v Speaker 2>doing a little dig. But then I went back and

0:40:55.549 --> 0:40:59.749
<v Speaker 2>realized that that interviewer just decided to share that footage

0:40:59.789 --> 0:41:01.909
<v Speaker 2>for the first time. Yeah, I don't even think she

0:41:01.989 --> 0:41:06.069
<v Speaker 2>was fully aware of how much this moment already was

0:41:06.749 --> 0:41:09.909
<v Speaker 2>hating on Blake, and then she released that to be like,

0:41:09.949 --> 0:41:12.549
<v Speaker 2>I've had a terrible experience with a celebrity interview, and

0:41:12.589 --> 0:41:18.029
<v Speaker 2>then she ruined blake'slast yes whoops. Well, onto theories. The

0:41:18.149 --> 0:41:22.829
<v Speaker 2>vibe is Paul maligned Baldoni. He just wanted to make

0:41:22.829 --> 0:41:25.709
<v Speaker 2>a movie about domestic violence, and now all these horrible,

0:41:25.749 --> 0:41:29.629
<v Speaker 2>annoying women have made it about frivolous things. Don't you

0:41:29.669 --> 0:41:33.829
<v Speaker 2>hate women? That seems to be the situation. Yeah, and

0:41:34.309 --> 0:41:36.749
<v Speaker 2>go and see the film with your golfriends. In your florals,

0:41:37.269 --> 0:41:39.629
<v Speaker 2>get the message, shed a tear and then walk out

0:41:39.629 --> 0:41:41.429
<v Speaker 2>and go. But that Blake Lively is a bitch, and

0:41:41.509 --> 0:41:44.549
<v Speaker 2>I think that that is a message of the film.

0:41:44.629 --> 0:41:47.949
<v Speaker 2>Blake Lively's a bitch and Colleen who is siding with

0:41:47.989 --> 0:41:51.429
<v Speaker 2>the wrong person about her own work. But that Justin

0:41:51.429 --> 0:41:55.749
<v Speaker 2>Baldoni what a bloke. Slow clap for the only man

0:41:55.789 --> 0:42:00.709
<v Speaker 2>in the jesse. This is like the TikTok that's just

0:42:00.749 --> 0:42:05.189
<v Speaker 2>been going viral, and it's a compilation of Justin Baldoni

0:42:05.269 --> 0:42:08.669
<v Speaker 2>doing press versus Blake Lively doing press. Oh great a compilation.

0:42:08.749 --> 0:42:11.269
<v Speaker 2>There's never any bias in her that. No, it's not

0:42:11.349 --> 0:42:15.109
<v Speaker 2>like you intentionally choose particular moments and then put music

0:42:15.149 --> 0:42:16.949
<v Speaker 2>over it. This is your night, mister.

0:42:17.349 --> 0:42:18.829
<v Speaker 5>No, this isn't my night.

0:42:19.029 --> 0:42:20.989
<v Speaker 1>This is a night for all the women who we

0:42:21.029 --> 0:42:22.749
<v Speaker 1>made this movie for. This is a night for Blake.

0:42:22.869 --> 0:42:23.829
<v Speaker 1>This is so much.

0:42:23.829 --> 0:42:26.509
<v Speaker 5>And when you're touched and moved by something like as

0:42:26.989 --> 0:42:29.269
<v Speaker 5>deeply as I was by this book, it just kind

0:42:29.309 --> 0:42:31.909
<v Speaker 5>of comes naturally. Yes, this is a movie about love

0:42:32.269 --> 0:42:35.629
<v Speaker 5>and hope, but that we don't shy away from the issue.

0:42:35.709 --> 0:42:38.789
<v Speaker 6>It is for Saucy Dress two thousand and two. The

0:42:38.829 --> 0:42:40.989
<v Speaker 6>butterfly dress.

0:42:42.229 --> 0:42:43.949
<v Speaker 2>It meant so much to me because of.

0:42:43.909 --> 0:42:45.589
<v Speaker 4>What she meant she was So.

0:42:47.189 --> 0:42:51.629
<v Speaker 2>You have to admit the note about Blake Lively listening things.

0:42:52.749 --> 0:42:56.389
<v Speaker 2>She does like to list an adjective, which is fine.

0:42:56.429 --> 0:42:58.629
<v Speaker 2>It's not an observation, not a crime, not in the book,

0:42:59.189 --> 0:43:04.029
<v Speaker 2>not in the book. Okay, fair Lazy Girls, we have

0:43:04.229 --> 0:43:08.109
<v Speaker 2>another Lazy Girl giveaway and this time we're giving away

0:43:08.429 --> 0:43:13.909
<v Speaker 2>five GHD styling tools. We've got three GHD Jewet styles

0:43:13.949 --> 0:43:17.389
<v Speaker 2>and two GHD Jewet blow drys up, which I am

0:43:17.389 --> 0:43:20.389
<v Speaker 2>so excited to try. I've tried the Jewet style and

0:43:20.629 --> 0:43:23.469
<v Speaker 2>I actually have one and it is the best straightener

0:43:23.549 --> 0:43:26.789
<v Speaker 2>hair tool I own. Both tools take your hair from

0:43:26.909 --> 0:43:30.669
<v Speaker 2>wet to styled with one tool and no heat damage,

0:43:30.709 --> 0:43:33.589
<v Speaker 2>which is a laser girl's stream. Because who has a

0:43:33.629 --> 0:43:36.909
<v Speaker 2>time or energy for brushing, blow drying, straightening, and or curling.

0:43:37.389 --> 0:43:39.669
<v Speaker 2>I do not know a single lazy girl who actually

0:43:39.709 --> 0:43:41.549
<v Speaker 2>knows how to blow dry her own hair. It can't

0:43:41.589 --> 0:43:44.589
<v Speaker 2>be done. All you need to do to enter all

0:43:44.669 --> 0:43:48.429
<v Speaker 2>current and future Lazy Girl giveaways is to subscribe to

0:43:48.549 --> 0:43:52.149
<v Speaker 2>Mumma Maya. It is one simple step. As always, we

0:43:52.509 --> 0:43:54.989
<v Speaker 2>have a discount code for the laser girls. That's what

0:43:55.029 --> 0:43:57.389
<v Speaker 2>they need sometimes to get them over the line. The

0:43:57.469 --> 0:44:00.949
<v Speaker 2>code is lazy hair for twenty percent off. There's a

0:44:00.989 --> 0:44:03.469
<v Speaker 2>link in the show notes that will automatically apply the

0:44:03.469 --> 0:44:06.869
<v Speaker 2>code if you are too lazy to type it. If

0:44:06.909 --> 0:44:09.069
<v Speaker 2>you are yet to be convinced, let me tell you

0:44:09.149 --> 0:44:12.029
<v Speaker 2>that last week a lazy girl did just one job

0:44:12.069 --> 0:44:13.669
<v Speaker 2>in a whole week, and it was that she became

0:44:13.709 --> 0:44:15.669
<v Speaker 2>a subscriber. And guess what happened to her. She won

0:44:15.709 --> 0:44:18.109
<v Speaker 2>a trip for two to Turkey, so it was worth it.

0:44:18.349 --> 0:44:21.109
<v Speaker 2>The prize draw is on the tenth of September. Teas

0:44:21.149 --> 0:44:37.789
<v Speaker 2>and seas apply. I already wrote mine down. I got

0:44:37.789 --> 0:44:41.309
<v Speaker 2>me to go first. Ye, my charge begins in an

0:44:41.429 --> 0:44:43.549
<v Speaker 2>unlikely place, which is a result of at Google search.

0:44:44.789 --> 0:44:48.149
<v Speaker 2>The earliest species of the Homo genus appeared around two

0:44:48.189 --> 0:44:52.549
<v Speaker 2>million to one point four million BCE. Current evidence supports

0:44:52.949 --> 0:44:56.229
<v Speaker 2>modern Homo sapiens appearing around nineteen thousand BCE. What I

0:44:56.309 --> 0:44:59.509
<v Speaker 2>am trying to say is that humans have been around

0:44:59.509 --> 0:45:03.469
<v Speaker 2>for a bit, right, Yeah, Blake Lively in particular, her

0:45:03.509 --> 0:45:07.349
<v Speaker 2>crime is clear and that is existing at the precise

0:45:07.469 --> 0:45:12.069
<v Speaker 2>same moment. That's TikTok, which has been around for only

0:45:12.109 --> 0:45:16.709
<v Speaker 2>maybe eight years, but really only five. Yeah, so the

0:45:16.829 --> 0:45:22.149
<v Speaker 2>chances of Blake lively overlapping with TikTok very unlike MM

0:45:22.669 --> 0:45:28.549
<v Speaker 2>and yet it's some bad luck. Also another crime. We

0:45:28.629 --> 0:45:32.669
<v Speaker 2>all get snippy in our jobs, Claire, when I was pregnant,

0:45:33.109 --> 0:45:36.549
<v Speaker 2>the amount of times I nearly yelled loudly, mind you,

0:45:37.309 --> 0:45:42.669
<v Speaker 2>I hate your face to literal strangers. I felt so angry.

0:45:42.749 --> 0:45:45.829
<v Speaker 2>I was not proud of who I was. I was

0:45:46.109 --> 0:45:50.229
<v Speaker 2>shiny in the face. It's not relevant. My back hurt.

0:45:50.469 --> 0:45:53.389
<v Speaker 2>Everyone kept telling me my life was about to get shit,

0:45:53.909 --> 0:45:57.109
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, everyone, fuck right off. Blake got

0:45:57.189 --> 0:45:59.989
<v Speaker 2>snippy in front of the camera, which is a shame

0:46:00.109 --> 0:46:04.589
<v Speaker 2>because the camera was recording. And in her defense, she

0:46:04.789 --> 0:46:08.189
<v Speaker 2>was pregnant. She was pregnant, she was shitty. She's like, oh,

0:46:08.269 --> 0:46:14.029
<v Speaker 2>congratulations on my bump. I hate you and everyone. Yeah, yeah,

0:46:14.709 --> 0:46:21.069
<v Speaker 2>why am I working? I'm tired. Her bump was fairly little.

0:46:21.069 --> 0:46:22.829
<v Speaker 2>She probably still in the I need to vomit stage,

0:46:23.309 --> 0:46:25.029
<v Speaker 2>still in the I need sixteen hours sleep and I'm

0:46:25.069 --> 0:46:28.509
<v Speaker 2>still shitty stage. Yeah. True, and no one's talking about that.

0:46:28.589 --> 0:46:32.469
<v Speaker 2>My sentence, you can't get sniffy with strangers, only with

0:46:32.589 --> 0:46:36.069
<v Speaker 2>people who love the unconditionally. Okay, so get sniffy with Ryan,

0:46:36.429 --> 0:46:39.989
<v Speaker 2>get snippy with you can use some sess. I think

0:46:40.029 --> 0:46:44.509
<v Speaker 2>he could too, because Wolverine is going well, he needs

0:46:44.509 --> 0:46:47.389
<v Speaker 2>to be knocked down a peg. Yes, and that's why

0:46:47.429 --> 0:46:50.589
<v Speaker 2>I treat you like shit. Yeah, you might have noticed.

0:46:51.069 --> 0:46:54.549
<v Speaker 2>We just yelled at each other during our pregnancies to

0:46:54.629 --> 0:46:57.709
<v Speaker 2>save everyone else from bearing the brunt of unhinged emotion.

0:46:59.589 --> 0:47:05.189
<v Speaker 2>You should be able to hire someone to be snippy. Yes,

0:47:05.189 --> 0:47:08.469
<v Speaker 2>actually during pregnancy that should be a gift. Oh I'm

0:47:08.509 --> 0:47:11.549
<v Speaker 2>pregnant and then you go HI and hire someone what

0:47:11.709 --> 0:47:15.309
<v Speaker 2>for You'll see You'll see, oh what just so much

0:47:15.349 --> 0:47:18.309
<v Speaker 2>to talk to? Yeah, but you can say anything anything.

0:47:19.069 --> 0:47:22.549
<v Speaker 2>I hate your face. Yeah, and we don't do it

0:47:22.589 --> 0:47:25.789
<v Speaker 2>to Norwegian journalists, not when there's a camera rolling. No,

0:47:26.269 --> 0:47:31.429
<v Speaker 2>absolutely not, Jesse. So your sentences, hire someone, hire someone

0:47:31.469 --> 0:47:33.189
<v Speaker 2>to be a bit to it without a camera rolling,

0:47:33.309 --> 0:47:35.629
<v Speaker 2>because I don't know. She's been pregnant like four times. Yeah,

0:47:35.629 --> 0:47:37.069
<v Speaker 2>it's just a lot of times to be pregnant. I

0:47:37.109 --> 0:47:40.629
<v Speaker 2>don't know if that was two, three, four. She's tired,

0:47:41.189 --> 0:47:44.389
<v Speaker 2>she's shitty. Mm. She didn't want you to see that interview.

0:47:44.389 --> 0:47:47.429
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. No, I don't think so either, Jesse.

0:47:48.149 --> 0:47:51.869
<v Speaker 2>My vibe is this. I think this whole story is

0:47:51.949 --> 0:47:56.349
<v Speaker 2>such good evidence of how much we love to hate

0:47:56.349 --> 0:48:00.069
<v Speaker 2>a woman. That's so we love it, and this all

0:48:00.109 --> 0:48:03.269
<v Speaker 2>going viral. It's just people being like, oh, yes, I've

0:48:03.269 --> 0:48:06.469
<v Speaker 2>been waiting to hate Blake Lively ever since gossip Girl,

0:48:06.749 --> 0:48:09.109
<v Speaker 2>not ever since Gossip Girl, ever since Sisterhood of the

0:48:09.149 --> 0:48:13.189
<v Speaker 2>Trailing Pass Rag Unfinished. Just before Yeah, I had my

0:48:13.269 --> 0:48:16.429
<v Speaker 2>ray Gun moment. Yeah, that was dying off. I felt it.

0:48:16.509 --> 0:48:19.509
<v Speaker 2>I felt the momentum. Yeah, because the Olympics are over,

0:48:19.669 --> 0:48:22.189
<v Speaker 2>so just so hating on ray Gun felt a little

0:48:22.229 --> 0:48:24.629
<v Speaker 2>over the top. Yeah. Then just as that was dipping.

0:48:25.349 --> 0:48:27.629
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's a new person to hate. Yeah, yeah, so

0:48:27.669 --> 0:48:31.909
<v Speaker 2>we hate Blake. I think this is the kind of

0:48:31.989 --> 0:48:34.509
<v Speaker 2>thing where, six months down the track, we're gonna look

0:48:34.549 --> 0:48:37.229
<v Speaker 2>at it and think, hold on, hold on, why were

0:48:37.229 --> 0:48:42.429
<v Speaker 2>we so mad? Were we mad because Blake Lively wasn't

0:48:42.469 --> 0:48:46.509
<v Speaker 2>fully serious enough, didn't answer questions in the right way

0:48:47.629 --> 0:48:51.669
<v Speaker 2>given she was in a movie about domestic violence. I

0:48:51.669 --> 0:48:55.069
<v Speaker 2>think the sting of this is going to pass very quickly. Yes,

0:48:55.389 --> 0:48:57.669
<v Speaker 2>and we'll think that was a wild time, a little

0:48:57.669 --> 0:48:59.509
<v Speaker 2>bit over the top, But the thing about cancel culture

0:48:59.549 --> 0:49:01.829
<v Speaker 2>is we'll kind of realize that, but everyone will still

0:49:01.829 --> 0:49:04.149
<v Speaker 2>feel a bit funny about Blake for reasons they can't

0:49:04.189 --> 0:49:06.229
<v Speaker 2>quite articulate. Yeah, and they'll keep bringing up the old

0:49:06.229 --> 0:49:09.949
<v Speaker 2>stuff because they keep going she stole Ryan from Sky

0:49:10.229 --> 0:49:14.509
<v Speaker 2>Joe Plantation wedding. By the way, if those things, they're

0:49:14.549 --> 0:49:17.549
<v Speaker 2>ringing a bell and you need your context. Blake Lively,

0:49:17.709 --> 0:49:20.229
<v Speaker 2>our canceled episode on Blake Lively one of the most

0:49:20.269 --> 0:49:23.989
<v Speaker 2>listened to ever, which I will say is telling go

0:49:24.069 --> 0:49:26.429
<v Speaker 2>listen to that. Yeah, and then we've also got a

0:49:26.509 --> 0:49:29.189
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Reynolds episode, so listen to that in the back catalog.

0:49:29.269 --> 0:49:30.829
<v Speaker 2>We'll have links in our show notes if you need

0:49:30.869 --> 0:49:33.069
<v Speaker 2>to know all of the context. We don't have Justin

0:49:33.109 --> 0:49:36.509
<v Speaker 2>because he's just not that. He's just not that. Let's

0:49:36.509 --> 0:49:38.709
<v Speaker 2>just say, if it was just Justin doing the primo,

0:49:38.869 --> 0:49:43.509
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be watching that movie this weekend. Yeah. True. Anyway,

0:49:43.909 --> 0:49:48.909
<v Speaker 2>So my charge is basically, guys, you just want to

0:49:48.949 --> 0:49:53.669
<v Speaker 2>takee a woman and my sentences guys, chill, Actually everybody chill,

0:49:54.309 --> 0:49:57.389
<v Speaker 2>really yeah, chill. But then what are we meant to

0:49:57.429 --> 0:50:00.549
<v Speaker 2>do on TikTok? That's the thing, isn't it is that

0:50:00.989 --> 0:50:03.829
<v Speaker 2>it's still fun. We need to do things on TikTok. Yeah,

0:50:04.069 --> 0:50:06.509
<v Speaker 2>often people run out. I wonder if this has broken

0:50:06.509 --> 0:50:08.549
<v Speaker 2>a record for the amount of content about the same thing.

0:50:09.589 --> 0:50:15.189
<v Speaker 2>Probably anyway, in the rule book it's been added. Guys, enough,

0:50:15.229 --> 0:50:19.109
<v Speaker 2>now chill before we go. We have a lazy girl

0:50:19.189 --> 0:50:24.589
<v Speaker 2>story from Reagan. Ah, she said, Jessy, is it that Reagan. No,

0:50:24.989 --> 0:50:27.749
<v Speaker 2>that's a different one. It's not going to the Olympics.

0:50:27.829 --> 0:50:29.589
<v Speaker 2>Is not a very laser girl. No, there is no

0:50:29.709 --> 0:50:32.469
<v Speaker 2>lazy girl in our community who has made it to

0:50:32.509 --> 0:50:37.469
<v Speaker 2>the Olympic. True. Ah, maybe Reagun Sorry continue, No, Hi, girls.

0:50:37.749 --> 0:50:39.909
<v Speaker 2>I drive a car from twenty eleven, and at some

0:50:40.109 --> 0:50:43.189
<v Speaker 2>point there was a recall because apparently it's quite easy

0:50:43.229 --> 0:50:46.629
<v Speaker 2>to break into. I've received dozens of letters from the

0:50:46.669 --> 0:50:49.709
<v Speaker 2>car manufacturer letting me know that I can stop buy

0:50:49.709 --> 0:50:51.989
<v Speaker 2>a local dealership to get a free part to prevent

0:50:52.029 --> 0:50:55.069
<v Speaker 2>my car from being broken into. Have I gone to

0:50:55.069 --> 0:50:55.829
<v Speaker 2>pick up the part?

0:50:56.349 --> 0:50:56.429
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:50:57.149 --> 0:51:00.149
<v Speaker 2>Is the dealership literally an eight minute drive from my

0:51:00.229 --> 0:51:03.669
<v Speaker 2>house and right by the grocery shop I go to weekly. Yes,

0:51:03.869 --> 0:51:07.069
<v Speaker 2>eight minutes. We'll just keep hoping no one wants to

0:51:07.109 --> 0:51:12.189
<v Speaker 2>steal my thirteen year old car. Instead love Reagan. She's

0:51:12.189 --> 0:51:16.349
<v Speaker 2>a lazy girl. Okay. So I had a similar experience

0:51:16.389 --> 0:51:19.229
<v Speaker 2>to this, not my car. Didn't own a car Rory's car,

0:51:19.709 --> 0:51:21.989
<v Speaker 2>and it was actually more of a safety issue in

0:51:22.029 --> 0:51:26.829
<v Speaker 2>the air bag was faulty, and so you could take

0:51:26.869 --> 0:51:29.389
<v Speaker 2>it and get it fixed. So what you've given me

0:51:29.749 --> 0:51:33.709
<v Speaker 2>car company, you've given me a job. It's a job.

0:51:33.989 --> 0:51:36.949
<v Speaker 2>I get a little joy from it. Just because it's free,

0:51:36.989 --> 0:51:39.509
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean I want to do it. No, your it

0:51:39.589 --> 0:51:41.949
<v Speaker 2>sounds like a U problem. That sounds like a U problem.

0:51:41.949 --> 0:51:43.789
<v Speaker 2>On what I need is for you to pick up

0:51:43.789 --> 0:51:46.509
<v Speaker 2>the car, take it, get it fixed, bring it back

0:51:46.509 --> 0:51:50.189
<v Speaker 2>to me without any inconvenience on a day I don't

0:51:50.229 --> 0:51:52.349
<v Speaker 2>need my car. I just think Reagan's a bit like

0:51:52.469 --> 0:51:54.629
<v Speaker 2>well my thoughts. Sometimes I walk away from my car

0:51:54.669 --> 0:51:56.229
<v Speaker 2>and I go, did I lock it? And I go?

0:51:56.349 --> 0:52:01.509
<v Speaker 2>Even if I didn't? One seems hard to steal a car. Yeah,

0:52:01.709 --> 0:52:04.069
<v Speaker 2>nothing valuable in it. So I think Reagan is just

0:52:04.109 --> 0:52:08.149
<v Speaker 2>doing a cost benefit analysis and she's like, the benefits

0:52:08.189 --> 0:52:11.749
<v Speaker 2>of making sure my car locks aren't that great. Aren't

0:52:11.749 --> 0:52:13.389
<v Speaker 2>that great when you don't have any valuables? I mean,

0:52:13.429 --> 0:52:15.749
<v Speaker 2>the car is valuable, but you know it needs a

0:52:15.789 --> 0:52:19.069
<v Speaker 2>new part. That's what insurance is for. I feel like

0:52:19.109 --> 0:52:20.749
<v Speaker 2>she should just put a note in the car being

0:52:20.789 --> 0:52:23.909
<v Speaker 2>like steal it, but no, it comes with the job,

0:52:24.429 --> 0:52:27.149
<v Speaker 2>and that is that you have just broken into it

0:52:27.709 --> 0:52:29.989
<v Speaker 2>because I haven't got the part that makes it lot.

0:52:30.309 --> 0:52:33.149
<v Speaker 2>And so if you truly believe that you can go

0:52:33.189 --> 0:52:34.749
<v Speaker 2>and do that job, steal it and no one will

0:52:34.749 --> 0:52:37.869
<v Speaker 2>steal it. Claire, do you remember there was a recall

0:52:37.949 --> 0:52:41.669
<v Speaker 2>on a car that mum used to drive, and it said,

0:52:41.669 --> 0:52:43.829
<v Speaker 2>and this is the thing. I think cars with recalls

0:52:44.549 --> 0:52:46.909
<v Speaker 2>are a lazy girl's kryptonite because they didn't do any

0:52:46.949 --> 0:52:49.909
<v Speaker 2>research of it, and so they just go, all right, fine,

0:52:49.949 --> 0:52:52.189
<v Speaker 2>I'll get that car anyway. Mum gets this shit a

0:52:52.229 --> 0:52:54.509
<v Speaker 2>box of a car and I'm in the car with

0:52:54.589 --> 0:52:58.269
<v Speaker 2>her and it's thirty five degrees and we're like, yeah, yeah, recall,

0:52:58.349 --> 0:53:00.509
<v Speaker 2>like what, we didn't even read the fine bring no.

0:53:01.269 --> 0:53:03.869
<v Speaker 2>And I was finishing my makeup and she went inside

0:53:04.509 --> 0:53:06.829
<v Speaker 2>to do something and I was still sitting there and

0:53:06.869 --> 0:53:08.149
<v Speaker 2>it was getting pretty hot in the car, and I

0:53:08.229 --> 0:53:09.589
<v Speaker 2>was like, I'm just going to open the door. It's

0:53:09.749 --> 0:53:12.269
<v Speaker 2>getting pretty hot. And then I was like, oh shit,

0:53:12.309 --> 0:53:14.269
<v Speaker 2>I'm locked in now. People are going to say you

0:53:14.269 --> 0:53:15.429
<v Speaker 2>can unlock it from the inside.

0:53:15.509 --> 0:53:15.629
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:53:15.629 --> 0:53:17.629
<v Speaker 2>No, this was why there was a recall, because you

0:53:17.669 --> 0:53:21.269
<v Speaker 2>can't unlock it from the inside. Yeah, what did I do?

0:53:22.829 --> 0:53:29.029
<v Speaker 2>He smashed the winter I'm quick to panic. You decided

0:53:29.989 --> 0:53:32.109
<v Speaker 2>you were a baby in a hot car. I did,

0:53:32.229 --> 0:53:35.229
<v Speaker 2>and you needed to. I've actually never panicked so much

0:53:35.309 --> 0:53:38.669
<v Speaker 2>my whole life. I couldn't see the solution. I got

0:53:38.749 --> 0:53:42.229
<v Speaker 2>really hot in like twenty seconds. I was like, we're talking,

0:53:42.549 --> 0:53:47.149
<v Speaker 2>I'm melting. I'm so hot, I'm actually sweating. And then

0:53:47.189 --> 0:53:50.349
<v Speaker 2>I was like, there's no one around, and there wasn't.

0:53:50.429 --> 0:53:52.789
<v Speaker 2>We were in the blistering heat in the middle of

0:53:52.869 --> 0:53:55.189
<v Speaker 2>summer and there was no one around, and they'd all

0:53:55.189 --> 0:53:58.389
<v Speaker 2>gone into this thing, a social thing that was going

0:53:58.429 --> 0:53:59.829
<v Speaker 2>to happen for an hour. And I was like, there,

0:53:59.829 --> 0:54:03.469
<v Speaker 2>come back, and I'm just not here anymore. So I

0:54:03.629 --> 0:54:07.189
<v Speaker 2>tried to punch the glass and I couldn't. I tried

0:54:07.189 --> 0:54:10.069
<v Speaker 2>to kick it, couldn't. At this point, I was like,

0:54:10.629 --> 0:54:13.789
<v Speaker 2>I'm aloud of my tears and I'm really tired and

0:54:13.989 --> 0:54:18.749
<v Speaker 2>hot and dehydrated. At this point three if it had

0:54:18.749 --> 0:54:20.789
<v Speaker 2>been three, it'd been like forty five seconds, And I

0:54:20.829 --> 0:54:23.749
<v Speaker 2>was like, what one of them came out to just

0:54:23.789 --> 0:54:30.029
<v Speaker 2>see you standing outside the car and you smashed wind.

0:54:30.309 --> 0:54:32.469
<v Speaker 2>Do you know how I smashed the window? You grab

0:54:32.549 --> 0:54:34.909
<v Speaker 2>something heavy. So I was looking everywhere because I was like,

0:54:34.949 --> 0:54:37.309
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing here. And then under the seat I found

0:54:37.349 --> 0:54:41.029
<v Speaker 2>a steel water bottle and then I banged it and

0:54:41.029 --> 0:54:45.629
<v Speaker 2>banged it. Do you offer to pay? No? No, no,

0:54:45.629 --> 0:54:49.509
<v Speaker 2>no no, because I was like, this car is faulty,

0:54:50.269 --> 0:54:51.909
<v Speaker 2>and so I went bang bang bang. And there was

0:54:51.949 --> 0:54:53.669
<v Speaker 2>an issue too. I think I tried to beat the horn,

0:54:53.669 --> 0:54:55.109
<v Speaker 2>but you couldn't beat the horn, and I think that

0:54:55.189 --> 0:54:57.709
<v Speaker 2>was another product. Couldn't beat the horn with the car off,

0:54:59.069 --> 0:55:02.189
<v Speaker 2>I'm gang it. But the most embarrassing beard was as

0:55:02.189 --> 0:55:03.909
<v Speaker 2>I was crawling through the broken window and there was

0:55:03.949 --> 0:55:09.109
<v Speaker 2>glasses everywhere. Is this the couple walked past, I was

0:55:09.229 --> 0:55:11.829
<v Speaker 2>like the ring. I was with the ring crawling out

0:55:11.829 --> 0:55:14.789
<v Speaker 2>because I was wet, you know, when you know you

0:55:14.829 --> 0:55:17.909
<v Speaker 2>look panicked. So I walked out and I was just

0:55:17.949 --> 0:55:19.789
<v Speaker 2>like standing on the thing, and they were like, oh

0:55:19.829 --> 0:55:23.509
<v Speaker 2>my goodness, what happened? And I was like nothing. And

0:55:23.549 --> 0:55:26.229
<v Speaker 2>then everyone in this event where they were like, I

0:55:26.229 --> 0:55:28.709
<v Speaker 2>think your car got broken into and I was like, yeah, mom,

0:55:29.069 --> 0:55:32.029
<v Speaker 2>the car's been broken into Jesse, why do you have

0:55:32.429 --> 0:55:36.389
<v Speaker 2>blood on your shins from climbing out a car windows?

0:55:36.589 --> 0:55:41.389
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Ah, Anyway, I'm alive ready, top Tail.

0:55:42.589 --> 0:55:45.709

<v Speaker 2>dog and I can't tell you how untrue that is

0:55:55.509 --> 0:55:59.069
