What are the latest updates on the Starbucks strike?
Well guys, Starbucks employees are on strike again, Hillary Clinton doesn't want us to have children because that's what illegal immigrants are for, and Lorde wants us all to know that she is in fact a woman, except on days when she is a man. And yes, all of this is confusing to me as well, don't worry, we're gonna break it all down today. Now, before we dive into all of those stories and a couple of other things, as I was sitting down to film this episode, I stumbled across a juicy new update in the Blake Lively saga. So I just want to include this at the top of the episode because it was just too good not to share. So if you guys have followed this case and this story at all, you know that at the crux of Blake Lively's lawsuit against Jessa Maldoni is workplace hostility, workplace toxicity, sexual harassment, all of these awful things that happened on the set of the movie It Ends With
Well, according to an exclusive from the Daily Mail, it looks like this isn't Blake Lively's first runaround with workplace hostility. However, in this case, she was the one who was being accused. So I had no idea that this was even a thing, but back in 2014, she decided that like basically every other celebrity, she also wanted to have a lifestyle brand. And now this is so funny to me because my team can attest to this, but I have often mused like, What if I one day had a lifestyle brand? What if I was like selling things? We were making cool products. It'd be so fun. Well, apparently everybody and their mother wants to do that because Goop was so successful thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow. I think Khloe Kardashian also tried to start one called like Goosh or something like that. You have Meghan Markle who was trying to make as ever or as love, whatever it's called, work.
well blake lively also tried to do the same thing so in 2014 she started a brand called preserve and then she handed the reins over to her brother who was running it out of his new york city studio apartment now all of this was going on in 2014 but apparently allegedly the brand did not last long because her brother was a tyrant he was awful to work for allegedly according to this daily mail article He was doing drugs in the office. He was having affairs with employees. It was so toxic. It was completely unprofessional. And so people went to Blake Lively. The employees like set a meeting with Blake and were like, hey, this is your brand. This is the thing that you've built. It's representing you. And it's so awful we can't even work here anymore. and she dismissed their complaint.
She poo-pooed them and said, nope, not a big deal whatsoever. They ended up saying that we're going to sue you, so she settled with them, allegedly, for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Leslie Sloan, the same PR woman that is embroiled in all of this, this entire ridiculous lawsuit, was the PR woman who made all of that stay quiet. And, of course, because it is Blake Lively and because that was the era of girl boss lean-in feminism, when Blake Lively closed that branch, she closed the doors of Preserve, she blamed its failure on sexism. Which is just the perfect ending to that story. So I just wanted to give you guys that little update, but now we can get into an even bigger story, a bigger scandal, which would be Biden's cancer diagnosis. But before we dive into that story, make sure that you are following our podcast page, and please rate the show if you're enjoying it.

So guys, last Sunday afternoon, the Biden team issued a statement confirming what a lot of people around, I was about to say the country, but around the world have been assuming. The former president is extremely sick. He is in a very rapid decline. And obviously, I want to say this before we get into anything else. I wish him well. I am sending prayers to him and his family because this is just an awful thing to endure. He has prostate cancer. But unfortunately, due to the years of lies and corruption of our government and our media,
