They both joined. Courtney came with us. We do a full play-by-play.
Everyone's like, we know, we've seen the Instagram posts. Go join, be a global elite, and you can get that full episode. We spare no detail. We, we truly, truly spare absolutely zero details. Okay. So, but let's get into the matter at hand because we have so much to talk about. The first being what, what, what, where do I'm already verklempt.
I mean, I think we should talk about the Taylor news, because in my opinion, that is the biggest news. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that is news that's been sitting with me heavy on my heart, you know, my chest since last week, as everyone saw the video of me, you know, trying to ground myself in the midst of the news.
yeah i've just been dying to like actually get into it with you this news when we got it i took a video of you we were at sundance and we were having a gorgeous lunch chandler was basically on the floor i just look over at her after we get the news that and to provide a brief summary blake's attorney sent a letter to taylor's attorneys allegedly according to brian friedman
in a letter to the court where he's asking to subpoena text messages from Taylor Swift. Blake's attorneys threatened Taylor's attorneys that if she did not make a public statement in support of Blake Lively, this was February, okay, if she did not do this, that Blake would release 10 years of private text messages.
We get this news and we're just trying to enjoy, as the Queen herself, Heather MacDonald, would call it, a fucking cute lunch. We're just trying to have a cute lunch before heading up to Camas. And we're trying to also just kind of gird our loins for what we're about to encounter, you know? Yes. You know, it's like...
we plan God laughs when it rains, it pours because it couldn't have come at a worse time. I was already destabilized. And then when I heard this, I think it just kind of ripped me open in a way. You were so unwell at this. So I look over and Chandler is just
looking at the sky so that she's sitting in front of a huge like floor to ceiling windows and she's looking in she's like almost like trying to go blind looking into the sunlight just like searching for answers it was the most authentically she was so authentically like in pain and not well you really couldn't talk so of course i'm like time to get some content What about my camera?
