Episode 24: And now for part 2, or Baldoni v, Lively. Truthfully, 50% of this episode is the NBHP crew trying to figure out if Justin Baldoni may need intervention for paranoia and being absolutely gobsmacked at the drafting choices of his attorneys. The other 50% covers a small fraction (because, y’all, it’s just so much stuff) of Justin Baldoni’s allegations against Blake Lively and her, ahem, dragons* and his rebuttal to her allegations. Beth may have to walk back some of her statements against him – probably a first and last moment - while Joe and Dan take Ryan Reynolds’s side because, hey, he’s Deadpool (probably the one comic book character who is, almost certainly always, the most unreliable of narrators). We don’t reach a conclusion on this brand new litigation, because, hey, its still active (and maaaaaan, is it going to remain active!) but we certainly will provide enough information to allow you to follow what’s going on during your next pre-Zoom meeting banter.

*Since recording, since something happens in this case every day (seriously, it is exhausting), Taylor Swift allegedly denied being a dragon because reasons. Doesn't help that Travis lost in the Big Game.

Episode 23: Buckle up, everyone! The Non-Billable Hour crew is coming in hot for 2025 by covering the biggest news story of the year so far (no, not the second inauguration of Donald Trump). In a special TWO-PARTER, we are covering the best celebrity defamation lawsuit since Depp v. Heard, likely to be shortly eclipsed by Drake v. Lamar et al. (cue smiling Kendrick Lamar). After a bit of a break, Beth takes us through Blake Lively’s allegations of sexual harassment and breach of contract against Justin Baldoni and his troop of misfit toys on the set and during the promotional tour of the movie adaptation of It Ends With Us, the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. You’ll learn a second definition for astroturfing, how much it costs to take down an A-list celebrity (shockingly affordable!), and why you should live your life like everything you write will be read in a deposition (or screenshot and put into a complaint). Beth will try not to get too high on her soapbox as she discusses non-consensual improvised kissing. Yet another #metoo story for all!
