We are so, so sorry. We have to do this. It's time to listen to and break down Justin Baldoni's nearly 7-minute voice memo to Blake Lively. BUT! We have some great analysis, clock investigation, and commentary on some curious reactions from when this was released.

This episode is like the vegetables you need to eat before getting dessert... Well, if those vegetables had salmonella, e-coli and several other kinds of infectious bacteria. But then after your vegetables, and a long hospital stay, you can have the dessert of more Wayfarer v. Lively complaint!

Wayfarer v. Lively 3 - Hey so this isn't like, the most consequential bull shit, but it is one of the most infuriating bull shits for so many reasons. Wayfarer parties lose pretty much all credibility with this one enormous stupid bull shit.

Stephanie Jones's Motion to Dismiss Jennifer Abel's Counterclaims. Got it? So, Jones sued Abel, Abel brought counterclaims, and now this is Jones's motion to dismiss those counterclaims. And let me tell you, it is way more fun than you might think!

Part 2. Now that we've had to hear THAT noise, let's dig more into the analysis of the context in which Blake experienced this day on set. It does seem like Blake misrepresented what happened in one key part. So, how should we think about that? What does Candace Owens have to say?

Part 1 of 2. We chunk on over to the main timeline again to dissect the bar footage that was released in mid-January in an effort to refute one of the scenarios that Lively called out as inappropriate and part of the pattern of sexual harassment on set.

What might that mean?
