Let me just say something, Blake. There's only one person who's ever suffered for your sins, okay? And it's not fucking Justin Baldoni. All right? You're not going to get a Garden of Gethsemane moment out of this guy, okay? You're not that powerful, bitch. Stand down. Well, well, well. We are back. Well, well, well. I feel like I am prisoner 24601.
In the Blake versus Justin experience, because I did not think we were going to need a part six. It continues to amaze me that new information is coming out and that this saga continues to unfold. When Blake's floral outfit explosion extravaganza happened, we didn't know we were stealing a piece of bread from a priest. Right. Or whatever it was that Jean Valjean did.
And we would be in a state of, it ends with us fucking purgatory. Purgatory. Shackles. Like, I just feel like my brain right now, it's like my wedding, my bachelorette, my own life, my job. And then it's Blake and Justin. And I, you know, I'm excited to record this, but I'm also just kind of in shock that we still have new information. And so there's stuff to get into.
Without further ado, everyone, what we want to do is go through all of the developments, the things that have happened, the news pieces, just tie up some loose ends that we didn't get to in part five. Yeah. That way, we can just make sure we wrap a bow on part six and then maybe take a beat on this. We'll see.
Potentially not, because apparently she is filing an amended complaint of her own on, Chandler, February 17th, which is just five days. Five days. So I guess, no, there's no break. There's no break. Also, everyone, I have jury duty starting tomorrow. So you're going to be working the weekend. I'm going to be working the weekends. We don't need any more intro. Let's get into it. Let's get into it.
Okay. So one of the things that I think it's important to really kind of like go back and discuss is the WME sabotaging process.
OK.
Yes. Yes. And WME, for people who don't know, is like the talent agency. They basically rep everyone in Hollywood, anyone who's anyone. It was so funny when we had a viral moment with this whole Kate Middleton thing a year ago. They really came after us and they're like, we're emailing us really wanting, really wanting a meeting. Finally, like we did the meeting with them.
And then like a few weeks later, we basically just got the message like that. You actually are not the star. You're not good enough. You know what? Thanks so much for the meeting, but not quite yet. Exactly. Keep doing what you're doing. Exactly. But we do have to talk about people who are stars enough to be part of WME's esteemed canon of artists or catalog or whatever you want to say.
