High & Low

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.

Another week of the world watching America's increasing escalation of violence against ourselves, further degradation of everything we once stood for, while also awaiting millions of overdue Epstein files. The thoroughly documented murder of Alex Pretti by ICE/Border Patrol/DHS agents touched a new nerve when the administration chose to lie, despite visual evidence, and to blame the presence of his un-brandished, licensed firearm as justification for his death. Video and eye witness accounts are in direct opposition to the narrative pushed by the department that killed a man in broad daylight. Even the NRA issued a statement challenging that take, and the federal workers union that Alex was a member of (AFGE) demand accountability and consequences. Meanwhile, speeches at the World Economic Forum made it abundantly clear that America's new bully isolationist road will be a lonely, vulnerable, costly, and likely violent one. That begs the question, what is driving the fixation to own Greenland and who would it benefit?

A heap of newly unsealed correspondence helps clear up longstanding speculation about the level of involvement and insight outsiders had into the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, It Ends With Us drama. Trash talk between Blake and her bestie Taylor Swift is getting a lot of public attention, but comically verbose texts between Ryan Reynolds and Hollywood agents provides far more interesting information. This pod covers Blake's deposition, texts between Blake and Taylor, and Ryan venting to an agent at WME.

TRIGGER WARNING: Extremely graphic descriptions of SA, torture, alleged murder, and sadistic harm against women, children, and animals.

Part 2 picks up with us all somehow going on with life in America after hearing some the most startling allegations to come out of the Trump/Epstein world to date. Then, we dive back into recent and distant records, articles, social media posts, and public information in an attempt to fact check as much as possible. The most surprising element of Sascha Riley's allegations is how easily they makes sense, how many supporting details can be found, and how many facts can be checked. I present my list of findings and reasons why I believe the claims to be plausible. Sascha Riley and the independent journalist who interviewed them, Lisa Noelle Voldeng, leave listeners with the knowledge that they're both going off to go dig for documentation and facts as of July 2025 when the "Don't Worry. Boys are hard to find." interview tapes wrapped, so we will hopefully hear more soon.

TRIGGER WARNING: Extremely graphic descriptions of alleged SA, torture, murder, and sadistic harm against women, children, and animals.

Part 1 explains who Sascha Riley is, major takeaways from the six interview tapes, what details I was able to research, and why I believe this victim. Sascha Riley is stated to be a Veteran of the U.S. Army who has been trying to get public attention on allegations of sex trafficking by his adoptive father, William (Bill) Riley, who worked with and/or for Jeffrey Epstein. The tapes describe a childhood of being sex trafficked, abused, and vividly remembering several current U.S. politicians either participating in, or being in attendance, at trafficking events. He provides an array of details spanning exact names, places, facilities, and indicates when and where there should be trails of police reports and Child Protective Services (CPS) reports. BONUS: An article researching the origins and crimes of unhealed man, hypocrite, and ICE Lead, Greg Bovino

Part 2 delves into more details from the tapes, what I was able to research, what I found, and why I believe Sascha's life story.

TIMESTAMPS: The Sascha Riley dive begins after the first ad break at 24:30, after a brief news summary.
