Show transcript
00:06
Welcome back to Me Too Daily.
00:08
I'm Jenny and I'm Alejandro.
00:09
And finally it is February and I'm here for it because January
00:15
Felt like an eternity.
00:17
And it was a shit show and yeah we'll see what
00:22
a way to 2025 dude like it's crazy out there.
00:25
Silver Linings and Miss Delam and I am here for that too
00:30
and then you too,
00:34
brother, are you excited?
00:35
No, yeah, I got two little Valentines this year,
00:37
baby Izzy and Adrian,
00:38
so it'll be good.
00:39
Yeah, expensive, but it'll be good.
00:41
Yeah, well,,
00:44
expensive for you guys.
00:47
let's get into the news.
00:49
Hey sister, do you remember those like group projects back in
00:51
the day where they're like people like randoms in your classroom?
00:54
Yes, I hated that,
00:55
especially since I was valedictorian.
00:58
Oh, well, I,
00:59
I don't mean to throw it out there,
01:01
but I was the person that was mostly doing the work.
01:05
Yeah, they just show up on,
01:06
hey, so where are we at with the project?
01:08
And like, where are we at,
01:09
we're done. Oh man.
01:11
Well, the funny thing is because this is what this collab
01:13
feels like, but unlike those random group projects,
01:16
I'm here for it,
01:18
yeah. So in case you haven't heard,
01:19
Popeyes and Don Julio have announced a new limited edition menu for
01:23
the Super Bowl and select US restaurants.
01:25
That's random. Let's turn up,
01:27
bro. It's not Popeyes.
01:31
Well pay is not.
01:31
My parents always call it that anyway,
01:32
so it makes sense.
01:34
Well, let's see.
01:35
So customers aged 21 or older will be able to purchase the
01:38
concha chicken sandwich featuring a chicken breast marinated and reposado tequila and
01:44
top of tequila lime slaw.
01:46
Dang. I was trying to wonder like how would they make
01:50
it work, but that sounds good.
01:52
They went like this.
01:55
I see, I see.
01:55
Oh my God, tequila.
01:58
I know we marinate our our carne asada and like beers,
02:02
but damn tequila that's interesting.
02:04
I mean, I'd be fine to do it with wine.
02:06
No, like for pasta.
02:08
My ass would be back and accidentally get it like a DUI
02:11
I wonder how many it takes,
02:13
that's true because you go to the drive-through on that.
02:17
I don't know, but look,
02:18
that's gonna have reposado flavored Louisiana garlic wings and spicy strawberry hibiscus
02:24
flavored lemonade mocktails. on the real though,
02:28
there's no way this tastes good.
02:30
I don't know what they're like they're pretty good with their stuff
02:35
like the chicken sandwiches there are good.
02:37
I wonder if I take a bite and then I'm like.
02:40
You know, make the,
02:41
make the face of a shot like.
02:47
I don't know, dude.
02:49
Now you're making me like hesitant,
02:50
but I wanna try.
02:52
We should try when it comes out.
02:53
Oh, well, actually we know where they're gonna have them
02:55
So if you live in New York City,
02:56
Miami, New Orleans,
02:58
and the hometowns of the two Super Bowl teams,
03:01
then you can give it a shot.
03:02
So Philly and Kansas City.
03:04
So we, we don't get it,
03:06
I guess. Wait,
03:07
wait, where? They're,
03:09
they're picking cities where there's not a lot of Mexicans.
03:11
There's some, there's a lot of Mexicans in New York City
03:13
and, well, Latinos in Miami too.
03:16
Bro, I lived in New York City.
03:17
There's only a select few of us,
03:19
but that was a while ago.
03:20
Maybe there's more Mexicans now.
03:21
I don't know. Maybe they'll see how this does and like
03:23
yo, OK,
03:24
bet this is a good test.
03:26
Let's get it, yeah,
03:28
because Julio, bro,
03:29
you're gonna see that little logo,
03:30
you're like, let me get on that draft for you,
03:32
you know. I don't know,
03:34
but what do you guys think?
03:34
Are you guys gonna give it a shot?
03:36
Brother, did you know that 23 states let your dog sign
03:40
your marriage certificate as a witness?
03:42
What? Really? 23?
03:44
That's almost half. But no,
03:46
like that's pretty like wild,
03:48
dude. Like I can picture that like,
03:50
OK, I'm not gonna be a little cute like little popping
03:52
you know, but then like,
03:56
where do we draw the line?
03:57
Like, is there gonna be a hamster next,
03:59
finche, a parrot,
04:02
a parrot, I don't know.
04:04
Oh my God. Well,
04:06
dogs are different though,
04:07
brother. So there are these self solemnizing laws that basically allow
04:12
you to say I do without an efficient and have your pet
04:17
be a witness. Interesting.
04:19
I wonder if like the dog has to be looking or like
04:22
cause you know they get distracted sometimes.
04:23
It's like, it's like what I mean,
04:26
yeah, it's like I don't know,
04:28
but like all this jargon sounds like a bunch of loopholes.
04:30
Like imagine like the dogs not even paying attention,
04:33
right? Or The dog knows something that you don't like,
04:36
you know, some dogs see some shit,
04:38
but it's like, oh he's excited.
04:40
Like, no, he's actually barking like,
04:42
no, run, no,
04:43
it's a sing, yeah,
04:45
he could be warning you that he doesn't see it working out
04:48
I know I'm married and he's like,
04:48
Don't marry her. Jesus Christ.
04:54
I don't know, like,
04:55
man, I'm trying to park and she fucking cheated on you
04:57
the guy saw last week.
04:58
They're like, it's like.
05:02
Oh, little, little pey is getting like restless.
05:05
It's like, yeah,
05:06
it's like just give me your pop and you're out.
05:09
I mean, I don't know,
05:10
I just think of the negative stuff that could happen.
05:11
Yeah, you sound like a hater,
05:13
brother. I, I don't,
05:14
I just, well,
05:15
no, look, I love dogs,
05:16
but my parents have a dog that's not trained,
05:18
and I got there and it bites everything.
05:20
They ate my daughter's sock and they shit it out,
05:22
or no threw it up like two weeks later,
05:24
and I was like,
05:24
Where's that pair? And anyways,
05:27
well, listen, I'm sorry that happened to you,
05:29
but, but I'm behind these types of laws.
05:32
You know, you know how,
05:34
how they have a special place in my heart.
05:35
My frijolito is family,
05:37
you know, and this is honestly one step closer to accepting
05:41
that dogs are more than just dogs,
05:44
they're family members. They really are like we should be able
05:48
to file them on our taxes.
05:49
I said what I said.
05:51
I actually like that because yeah they are expensive.
05:54
They are like a little human that you have.
06:01
OK, you're on to something.
06:01
I mean like but anyways,
06:02
I'm here for this.
06:04
Frigolito might just be a witness at my wedding.
06:07
He might just be a witness and not the witness,
06:09
but. Yeah, I'm,
06:10
I'm totally here for this.
06:11
I'm not, but we'll see what happens.
06:14
Donald Trump is cock walking the World Cup.
06:17
Brother, we need this.
06:19
We needed the World Cup to be here too.
06:23
It's gonna happen, but look,
06:25
so we had a 2026 World Cup,
06:26
right? And then the 2020 Olympics just right around the corner
06:30
but with the Trump administration focusing on national security.
06:33
They've enacted stricter security checks for visas,
06:35
so they're slowing down the process which is already very backlogged,
06:38
and it's not right for the amount of people that are gonna
06:40
wanna come in for these events,
06:42
right? But luckily FIFA is promising to keep things smooth.
06:45
I don't know, dude,
06:46
by the looks of it right now.
06:49
Well, yeah, because actually visa wait times right now are
06:53
like 330 days in some of these embassies.
06:56
So already a year out and with this thing,
06:59
maybe who knows, 2 years.
07:01
Brother, think of all the money the country like could make
07:04
if like some of the World Cup games are hosted here at
07:07
the Olympics,.
07:10
Think about it. Yeah,
07:11
it's like the homeboy is all about,
07:13
you know, helping the American economy and stuff and jobs.
07:16
It's like, yeah,
07:17
there you go. There's a lifeline right there too,
07:19
you know, but like just to put things into perspective,
07:22
right? Just the World Cup alone is supposed to bring in
07:25
180,000 visitors and around $600 million to LA,
07:29
just LA, and we're only hosting 8 of these games from
07:32
the World Cup. So imagine this the rest of the country
07:34
right? It's like Texas,
07:35
I believe, Miami,
07:37
Jersey. So again.
07:40
It's it's a bigger picture than this for sure,
07:43
but you know, speaking about the city of LA,
07:45
you know, we need all the help we can get,
07:47
especially right now. We need this is gonna be rebuilding and
07:50
again they wanna be ready to host these people and I don't
07:54
know. This is a big opportunity.
07:57
But look, so tickets are dropping in late 2025,
08:00
so there's still some time to sort this out,
08:02
and politicians are even urging Trump to fast track the process so
08:06
people can actually show up to these events.
08:10
But, you know how homeboy,
08:11
if he's a little,
08:12
little terco,,
08:13
some, you know,
08:14
he's a little, a little,
08:15
exactly, no, he's very,
08:17
hardheaded. Let's leave it at that,
08:19
so. But this whole situation,
08:22
you know, this whole situation is hella messy,
08:25
messy, you get it?
08:29
All right, all right.
08:30
So again, hopefully there's something happens that works out because this
08:35
is not looking good.
08:40
From co-stars to co-defendants,
08:43
the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively novella just keeps getting juicier and
08:48
juicier. I have no idea if that made legal sense,
08:50
but it sounded good.
08:53
I was like, whoa,
08:54
yeah, but I mean with this Irwan cheese man,
08:57
I usually try to stay out of it,
08:58
but it's been everywhere like my TikTok Igo is even getting some
09:02
other stuff, so I'm like,
09:03
what's going on? Like.
09:04
Yeah, they've been airing it out in public and honestly,
09:07
I'm here for it.
09:08
I'm here for the tea.
09:10
But I need like the,
09:11
the tea like completito.
09:12
So Daniela, fill us in.
09:15
What are we missing?
09:16
Thank you so much,
09:17
Jenny and Alejo. This legal battle is really.
09:22
Officially chime, so let's get straight into it.
09:25
It all goes back to the press junkets and the tick tock
09:27
drama where it all began basically on August 6th of 2024.
09:32
It Ends with Us premiered in New York.
09:35
Lively went with her husband and Justin Baldoni went with his wife
09:41
but you would never know they were co-starring in this.
09:43
Film because not once were they seen or photographed together at this
09:47
premiere. So,,
09:49
listen, I don't want to be too gen Z on you
09:51
because I know that pisses people off,
09:53
but if you were not photographed together at an important event for
09:56
a movie that you were putting on in 2024,
09:59
OK, it's 2025 now,
10:00
so even more now,
10:01
something is up, like a walking red flag.
10:04
You're like, hell.
10:05
Hello, we're fighting.
10:06
We hate each other.
10:08
So at this point,
10:09
the tension's obvious. So this is a public statement.
10:13
This is, this is war.
10:14
On December 20, 2024,
10:16
Lively files a sexual harassment claim against Baldoni,
10:20
accusing him of repeatedly crossing boundaries during intimate scenes on set.
10:25
Before moving forward, this is a very serious claims,
10:29
especially within the industry.
10:31
That we all know far too well,
10:33
so I don't want to jump to conclusions,
10:35
and I don't want to diminish what Lively possibly went through.
10:38
But there's more. December 31,
10:40
2024, Baldoni files a $250 million lawsuit against the New York
10:46
Times for the article detailing Lively's accusations and claims.
10:51
But on the same day,
10:53
Blake Lively retaliates. And drops another lawsuit against Baldoni this time
10:59
in federal court. OK,
11:00
so now the feds are involved.
11:02
This is crazy. It's literally New Year's Eve,
11:04
OK? Aren't you supposed to be getting under tables and counting
11:07
your grapes or putting on your yellow underwear?
11:09
I guess they don't need more success because they're rich,
11:11
they're fucking rich. I mean,
11:12
they're throwing 250, 550 million all because listen,
11:17
I get it, shit went down on set,
11:18
but. They have money.
11:20
Cut to January 16th,
11:22
2025. Felizano, Happy New Year,
11:26
we're back and shit is getting spicy because this time Baldoni files
11:30
a defamation lawsuit. Against Lively,
11:34
Ryan Reynolds, and Lively's publicist for spreading false information.
11:41
So now Deadpool has entered the chat and thanks to the people
11:44
we have come to the conclusion that Nice pool,
11:47
OK, is based on Baldoni.
11:49
So shots are being fired on the big screen.
11:52
Couple days later, Baldoni is back baby January 21st.
11:56
2025, Baldoni's attorney releases nearly 10 minutes of behind the scenes
12:02
footage from It Ends With Us,
12:04
which had been shown in a slow motion montage in the movie
12:09
as part of his ongoing legal battle.
12:11
So this is where shit gets spicy because like this is public
12:14
information now. This is not speculation.
12:16
We are seeing the BTS footage play out left and right and
12:21
OK, listen.
12:22
I observe, OK.
12:24
I went to science class and the first thing they taught me
12:27
in in science in 6th grade was to observe when we were
12:30
doing research reports, and it was giving tension.
12:34
It was giving work-wise,
12:37
work husband advice, but like,
12:38
let's keep it together,
12:39
let's not act on anything because we have children at home.
12:42
We have a family,
12:44
we have a prenup we have signed and one of us
12:47
Is richer than the others,
12:48
so we got to keep straight.
12:51
So now it's January 28th and a leaked voice memo is circulating
12:55
Basically Valdoni apologizing to Blake Lively in a nearly seven minute
13:00
voice memo. Hey Blake,
13:02
it is 2 in the morning.
13:05
It's long, it's breathy,
13:07
he talks about her boob.
13:08
And we're the secret sauce.
13:10
You probably have kids all over you and a baby on your
13:12
boob and you're listening to me ramble.
13:14
If I were sent this message by my boss,
13:17
OK, by a co-worker even,
13:19
I'm running to HR.
13:21
It made me uncomfortable as a woman,
13:23
OK? And my investigative journalism concludes that this should be decided
13:30
in court. We can opinionate on it,
13:33
but at the end of the day,
13:34
it seems like shit got complicated,
13:37
whether it was feelings caught or You know,
13:41
a false narrative being spread.
13:44
I think this should not be decided by us,
13:48
and we should wait to see what it finds out because we're
13:50
gonna have to wait until March 2026.
13:54
You guys, the trial is set to go down then.
13:57
So we've got a long time to be chismosas and chismosos,
14:01
look online, go on the dark web and try to piece
14:04
together the evidence. So that's all I got for you guys
14:08
I know it was kind of a lot.
14:09
Take your time with it,
14:11
but really thank you,
14:12
Jenny and Alejo.
