Summary
Amidst the recently unsealed documents in the 'It Ends With Us' legal fiasco are a flurry of texts and communications from Blake Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds. This pod reviews those texts and their lengthy demands for support and action from agents and studios alike, all of whom were expected to defend Blake from the wave of negative public feedback she was getting. Thanks to Ryan's marathon text sessions with WME agent Warren Zavala and former Endeavor CEO Patrick Whitesell, we get a glimpse into the levels of anger, indignation, and love for ghost writing, that drove the infamous apology letter that Wayfarer refused to post. Whether it's the placating style of a Hollywood agent, the pitfalls of ego, the importance of honest optics and acknowledging privilege in light of American history, or the value of an Oxford comma, this debacle continues to serve as a fascinating topic of discussion.
BONUS: an update on the most expensive documentary ever made, as requested by a criminal for his immigrant wife, directed by a washed up lump of a man seen in the Epstein files who also assaulted and/or drugged several women, and paid for by a billionaire famous for treating his employees terribly and not paying taxes.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, |
| 0:08.3 | bravo, ducky. And I'm about to let all of my inner angst rage and fury about what's going on |
| 0:16.0 | in this country. I'm going to channel all of it like a laser beam, and I'm going to aim it directly at Ryan Reynolds |
| 0:22.8 | for the next hour. |
| 0:24.7 | Now, in one email exchange, Ryan Reynolds, like, talks crap about Trump. |
| 0:28.2 | He mentioned, he's like, he's kind of like Trump. |
| 0:29.9 | Great. |
| 0:30.3 | I love that we agree on that, Ryan, you Canadian, but I am still going to let all my aggressions |
| 0:36.4 | out on you. |
| 0:37.3 | It's like the scene in Steel Magnolias where they're like, here, hit Weezer. That's what he's going to be for me right now. I am at the funeral of democracy and I'm going to hit Ryan Reynolds to make myself feel better. He's got a huge ego. He can take it. He's like that inflatable clown used to hit as a kid and it would bounce down and come right back up again. He's got the blind confidence of a white man. He will be fine. |
| 0:59.6 | He is going to be making, what's his character's Deadpool? He's going to be making Deadpool movies |
| 1:04.6 | when Deadpool is on a walker. He will be fine. Same jokes. Same tone. Same stick. |
| 1:11.3 | All of it. |
| 1:29.8 | Do I want to focus on Ryan Reynolds for a whole hour? I don't. I'm irritated. This is going to add to it. I'm irritated that as I'm clicking through these documents, there are so many where he is just going off. Like, he's leading this charge. In my last one, part 17, I was like, I don't know who wants this more, her or him. |
| 1:30.5 | It's him. |
| 1:28.7 | He's pissed. He's big mad. He wanted his wife, I think, |
| 1:34.7 | treated as an extension of him. I'm not really sure. Whatever his motivations, he wanted |
| 1:40.7 | his pound of flesh. And we have so many other documents to go through that I just started |
| 1:45.1 | getting so irritated that every single time I opened one, like, he goes on for so long about so many |
| 1:49.7 | things to so many different people. I was like, this is going to be a whole part 18. I looked up |
| 1:54.9 | after reading all these documents and I was like, we're already at the hour. I have filled an entire |
| 1:58.7 | pot of just Ryan Reynolds whining. And I'm just |
