is nitpicking all the things that she's doing. So, I mean, to be fair to Blake Lively, could you imagine how brutal it would be walking around right now where every single person is analyzing what you're saying? Oh my God. Like, and picking apart every single word that you're saying. However, this is what happens. And this is, I think, our proof to why she really didn't have a lot of goodwill to begin with. Her and her and Ryan Reynolds. Okay, I'm going to save it. Okay, I'm going to save it for a chat on the 14th. Oh, Melanie, you are speaking my language. My colors are blush and bashful. I love that.

Had a 13-foot train, which meant that at least 3 of her attorneys had to fight over who was carrying her bespoke purse. Doing, doing. All right, you guys. Uh, this was great. I have to get off our call now because I have to talk to my tech person because the community demands it. The community demands it. All right, everyone. Uh, thanks for joining me. I love chatting
