All right. Let’s talk a little Donde deal or no deal Island last night. You know, me, I am not a longtime watcher of big brother started on season 21.
You know, this. I’ve only seen the last five seasons and the celebrity seasons. I know who Dr. Will is just because I’ve heard the name for years. And obviously he did the, he was the moderator for the jury discussion every year up until this past season, when they went to Taylor Hale, but man, I’m sure I get, you’d be like, Steve, you don’t understand he’s one of the greatest players in big brother history.
The guy’s obnoxious. And I’m sure he’s playing it up for cameras. I get it. He’s got a role to play on deal or no deal Island, but I just, I can’t stand people who act the way he does on television. I really don’t, I get this guy off the show. Like I get it. He’s there to captain chaos and or the, the purveyor of chaos or whatever the hell he calls himself.
He’s annoying and everyone on there should try and be putting him now. It’s not one of these things where you vote people off. You can make sure he goes and plays against the banker, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to be eliminated from the show. He might beat the banker because it’s a completely luck game, but.
I agree with some of the people and the sentiments last night. He’s annoying. He’s absolutely annoying and I understand it’s a character and he’s probably not like this in real life. He’s probably a great dad and he’s a wonderful dad to his two daughters. Great. He’s an idiot on reality TV. He’s acting like a fool and it’s just annoying.
Sorry. It’s the way I feel about him. Not a fan last night rock got to play against the banker and we saw something that I don’t know if we’ve seen in two seasons. Maybe we have, I don’t, I haven’t remembered every game played against the banker, but when rock went up against the banker, obviously six low totals and six high totals his first round, he had to pick four suitcases and all four were high dollar amounts.
So his offer was 133, 000. He had a much better shot to beat the banker if he would have taken the deal.
He would have actually, he ended up, he would have ended up he would have ended up losing. That’s what I mean. The odds were in his favor that he would have won and he would have gotten to eliminate somebody else, but he didn’t take the deal. And then he had four suitcases. He had to open in round two and three of them were low dollar amounts.
One of them high. So with four cases left, there was one high amount, which was 1. 3 million and three low amounts, all under a thousand dollars. So he had a 75 percent chance of beating the banker. And at that point, if he would have gone to another round, he would have had to pick two suitcases. And if he would have picked two, he would have picked two low ones.
So he would have had two suitcases left one, probably a hundred dollars and one 1. 3 million. So the banker offer probably would have been split the middle. Probably would have been 550, 000 or 600, probably 600, somewhere around there. I don’t know what he would have done. He would have had a 50, 50 shot. He probably would have said no deal and said, and probably convinced himself he had the 1.
3, which he did. So the problem was he took the offer. The second offer is to get a 75 percent chance of beating that offer because there were three low values and one high value, 1. 3 million, and his offer had to be lower than the banker’s offer. The banker’s offer was 250, 000. So his. Suitcase that he chose had to be lower and it wasn’t.
He had the 1. 3 million suitcase. He didn’t make a good deal. 250, 000. The offer that he accepted went into the pot. Now it’s like over 500, 000, but he chose a high case in the very beginning. The first, you know, when you get to choose a case, so he basically was never going to win as long as he didn’t turn down every offer.
Oh, well, rock is no longer in the game. And I hope for our sake. And my sake, Dr. Will goes home soon. Just flat out. One of those reality show contestants that I just, just be yourself. Stop hamming it up for cameras. And, oh, I gotta be this guy. I gotta be the Dr. Will that everybody knows from big brother.
Ooh, go away. Did you see the Joe Schmo show last night on TBS? Hasn’t been around for a while and they started promoting this show like March or April of last year, which means they probably filmed it the summer before. Or even earlier. I don’t know when they filmed this show, but the fact that all the production team was still wearing masks indoors, I have a feeling this show might’ve been filmed in the summer of 2022, because I don’t even think in 2023 production teams were all still wearing masks indoors.
Were they? I don’t think so. Not in 2023. So this thing might’ve been filmed in 2022. And it’s not even airing right until now, 2025. But the first episode was last night. The premise is, you know, we’ve talked about this just like that show jury duty that was on, was jury duty on Amazon prime or was it on Netflix or Hulu?
I think it was Amazon prime. Either way. It’s basically you are fooling one person. One person thinks they are living in reality and being filmed for something. And everyone around them is an actor. Well, there’s this guy named Ben. He’s from Baltimore. He thinks he’s going on a game show, which we now know to be called the goat.
He’s never heard of the goat. That’s because it’s not a real reality game show. They just made it up for the sake of this Joe Schmoe show. So he’s going to compete in challenges. There’s going to be money involved, but everyone else is an actor. Everything is staged. Everything is scripted, except he doesn’t know it.
And the whole goal is to get him through the end. Not have the people that are acting possibly screw up or him be on to this thing and think that, wait a second, this isn’t real. And the whole goal of this is to get him to the end, hopefully with him not finding out, and then to spring it on him and be like, whoa.
And have, and basically all we’re looking for as the audience is, how is he going to react when he finds out that this isn’t real now, if he knows it’s not real, it’s going to really defeat the purpose of the show because he’d be like, yeah, I knew that all along guys, but my guess is that’s not what is going to happen here.
He’s probably going to be just as surprised as the guy was on jury duty or Matt in season one of. The Joe Schmo show, Tim and Amanda in season two, Ingrid, good friend. She figured it out in season two of the Joe Schmo show. So they made her a cast member halfway through because she was onto them and she figured something was up for Ben.
Probably not. Seems like a nice dude. They always seem to find these unassuming people that don’t seem to be too dialed into the reality TV world, even though this isn’t even a reality TV show he could have known about, because it’s not a real show, it’s a fake one where it’s all based around goats and their sacrifices.
Pretty good first episode. I want to see more drama. I want to see more wackiness. The fact that Jonathan Lipnicki is back on our television screens, at least for one episode, I was kind of bummed that that was the first elimination that they had. At least at a sacrificial ceremony. That’s what they call it.
The sacrifice. And Jonathan Lipnicki from Stuart Little, the little boy from Jerry Maguire. Well. He’s one of the quote unquote actors. And everyone that’s an actor on the show is basically from some sort of improv troop or something like that. And they’re playing a role. There’s the alpha male. There’s the singing duo.
Jonathan Lipnicki was playing the Hollywood D bag. So he would just basically talk about all his accolades in Hollywood. And Ben was just like, man, this guy’s a real narcissist. He can’t stop talking about himself. So it was funny. The fact that Lipnicki was back on our television screens, because my gosh, I haven’t watched him.
I never watched the Stuart Little movies, but I haven’t seen him since Jerry Maguire. And it’s funny to see him as an adult. He still has that same type of, he doesn’t talk obviously the same way as he did in Jerry Maguire when he said the human head weighs eight pounds. Did you know the human head weighs eight pounds?
But it’s Lipnicki good to see him getting work, but yeah, good first episode. It’s on every Tuesday night on TBS. I’ll be talking about it on the daily roundup on Wednesdays or whenever I get around to watching Tuesday nights episodes. And finally, Justin Baldoni and his lawyers, Brian Friedman, lawyer, released a 10 minute video, which was deleted, not deleted scenes, but clips put together from filming on the set of It Ends With Us.
And it directly is in retaliation to what Blake Lively said in her complaint. He released it and saying, look, there was no harassment here. To look, we’re running, you know, it’s. Footage of them filming a scene from the movie that was basically, they were going to use footage of them dancing together, and use all these little spliced cuts of it to show as a montage.
Blake said in her complaint, he was harassing her. He got too close, she was uncomfortable. He said, here’s the footage, does she look uncomfortable in this footage? And then after he released that, Blake released a statement saying Justin and Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that the latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him But the video itself is damning.
Every frame of the release footage corroborates to the letter What Miss Lively described in paragraph 48 of her complaint. The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Miss Lively Attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her Telling her how good she smells And talking with her out of character.
Every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance and no intimacy coordinator present. Mr. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively’s co star, but the director, the head of the studio and Ms. Lively’s boss, Ms. Lively in the clip was leaning away and repeatedly ask repeatedly asking for the characters to just talk.
I mean, I guess it’s the way you look at this video, because if you look at this on social media and you read the comments underneath it. 80 percent of the people are supporting Justin in this saying she doesn’t look the least bit uncomfortable. How is she saying this is harassment? Anyway, we’re going to talk about all of this today.
I’m going to record today with Rachel Juarez for the second week in a row, but no Clayton talk on this. It’s just going to be strictly, unless David Gingras releases his brief sometime today. I don’t know if he’s going to, but I’m recording with Rachel today, and it’s only going to be about this case. And.
Rachel Lindsay and Brian Abasolo’s divorce. But there is a lot to digest here in this case already. We’re not going to go through legal paperwork. I’m just going to get her thoughts because she has read everything I’ve read most. Not all, but I get the gist of what Blake is complaining about. I see what Justin is retaliating with.
I’ve watched all the videos and the text messages and screenshots that he has released. This is very, very confusing and I don’t think it’s black and white. I think there’s a lot of gray area here, but the more that Justin’s side keeps presenting stuff, the more you just want to say to Blake’s side, when is your stuff coming?
And they’re not under any obligation to release it now. Because they even called Justin Baldoni’s lawyers out. They called Brian Freeman out in the statement saying, he’s going to continue to play this in the media, we’re going to do this legally. And we’re going to do this through the court of law. And, you know, they said, look, this matter is active litigation in federal court.
Releasing this video to the media rather than presenting it as evidence in court is another example of an unethical attempt to manipulate the public. It is also a continuation of their harassment and retaliatory campaign. While they are focused on misleading media narratives, we are focused on the legal process.
We are continuing our efforts to require Mr. Baldoni as associates to answer in court under oath, rather than through manufactured media stunts. I’m going to talk to Rachel about all this and, and let you know where she stands and how she feels. Being a family law attorney. She’s also dealt with Brian Friedman in the past, Justin Maldoni’s lawyer.
So, we’re going to go over all that with her. I just wanted to get that out there and let you know that’s coming tomorrow on the weekly podcast. Anyway, thank you all for listening. I really appreciate it. Follow me on Apple podcasts also rate and review, but you got to hit play. It’s the only way it counts as a download.
