What drama involving Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively is discussed?

Jackie Oshry 0:12
Well when I woke up this morning I said there's one thing I have to do. And it's to come on the internet and clear my name. You know, we, I, it's, you know, we make everything about ourselves. Of course, it's just kind of like our natural inclination, but it's, it's human. It's seemingly impossible not to make the Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively drama about us. One, because I have like, I know there was a grassroots movement and also an astroturf movement, but I was a part of like the Blake Lively, team Blake Lively grassroots movement. And I, I definitely like feel like, we were huge advocates and voices in that during that time.
Claudia Oshry 0:48
We were so much so that when I was reading everything that's since come to light, which we will get into late in a bit, we have to catch up with like ourselves, yourselves so much so that I was reading it. I was like, damn, were these publicists frustrated by the toast that we would not budge. We could not be turfed and we could not be manipulated. They must be sick of us.
Jackie Oshry 1:06
A thousand percent. And there is a personal connection that I will get into later in the show.

How did the hosts feel about their past takes on celebrity culture?

Claudia Oshry 1:10
There's so many things to say, and we're going to get into it later in the show.
Jackie Oshry 1:13
But the one thing I want to say, and we are going to get into it later, I promise, but the one thing I want to say, because if you take away one thing from this episode, it's like, Jackie and I actually, like, all the time, get so much shit for, like, having no, quote, worse takes. Like, we're always, like, I guess, delivering hot takes, just giving our opinions. People are like, classic Jackson Claude, always being on the wrong side of history.
Claudia Oshry 1:30
No, we're classic Jackson Claude going against the grain.

What insights do the hosts provide on Blake Lively's public image?

Jackie Oshry 1:33
No, no, classic Jackson Claude thinking independently and not being able to be brainwashed by literal... campaigns paid for by agencies. So the fact that like, we're always getting shit for like, you know, whatever everyone's team X, like we are team Y. And I feel so justified right now in this moment, obviously because we were right about this, but also like, I think it's a greater.
Claudia Oshry 1:54
Think about all the other things we're probably right about then.
Jackie Oshry 1:57
And think about all the other campaigns that like we don't know about. Right, that are campaigns. Right, like, who were we all, you know, sort of encouraged to dislike? And Jackie and I never did. I mean, we ended up being right about Ballerina Farms. All these things that happened over the summer. It was kind of like the summer of truth. Like, you and I were right about Ballerini. We were right about Blake Lively. Like, it just feels good. Now, I will not the whole episode go wax on about how we were right, but like,
Claudia Oshry 2:18
to i wasn't even like waiting for this i was like you know we said our piece it's they said we said and blake's reputation was definitely tarnished in the public eye now for me if anything it made me like like her i didn't have an opinion about her before but i was like damn this girl's really going through it she's a mom of four she just had a baby she's like working so hard and now i have like even more respect for her because she like had to deal with all this shit yeah i never even particularly like stand like i yeah and also sometimes like cancellation maketh man
Jackie Oshry 2:46
It's so true. We're about to see a whole new version of Blake Lively when she comes out of this.
Claudia Oshry 2:49
It really hones you as a human being. It does. For better or for worse. For better or for worse. Because when someone's so beloved all the time, that's nice for them. It's not super interesting.
Jackie Oshry 2:59
Agreed. But that's nice. But now you have a chip on your shoulder. Welcome to the club.
Claudia Oshry 3:02
Yeah. And now you got something to say. I want to hear. I'm listening.

What experiences did the hosts have during their holiday breaks?

Jackie Oshry 3:05
So we will get into it at some point in the show. But Jax and I are just excited to be back on the ones and the twos. We've been off podcasting now for like... A week and a half. We have a lot to catch up on.
