Hello, and welcome to The TMZ Podcast afternoon edition. I'm Eric Wilson.

**Kay McCabe** (0:40)
And I'm Kay McCabe.

**Eric Wilson** (0:41)
And we are back at it again.

**Kay McCabe** (0:43)
By popular demand.

**Eric Wilson** (0:44)
Back by popular demand. Don't call to come back. We've been here for years.

**Kay McCabe** (0:48)
Yeah.

**Eric Wilson** (0:49)
We're here to give you some news of the day and the afternoon. What's going on since the morning pod?

**Kay McCabe** (0:54)
A lot has happened since we last met.

**Eric Wilson** (0:56)
Yes, a lot has happened. And we're not going to cover the heavy stuff today. We're going to get into some nonsense, some bullshit.

**Kay McCabe** (1:02)
And some shade.

**Eric Wilson** (1:04)
Some shade potentially.

**Kay McCabe** (1:05)
OK.

**Eric Wilson** (1:06)
Let's start with the shade, alleged. The alleged shade.

**Kay McCabe** (1:10)
Shade all tea.

**Eric Wilson** (1:11)
That should be my handle. Alleged shade.

**Kay McCabe** (1:13)
Alleged shade.

**Eric Wilson** (1:13)
That'd be good for like a shitposting account. I see the vision. A ghost account.

**Kay McCabe** (1:19)
A little secret account.

**Eric Wilson** (1:20)
Exactly. Finsta, as the kids call it.

**Kay McCabe** (1:23)
As they call it.

**Eric Wilson** (1:24)
Justin Baldoni's wife appears to shade Blake Lively in their anniversary post.

**Kay McCabe** (1:29)
Rightfully so, though.

**Eric Wilson** (1:31)
Okay. Well, let's start with what the post is. Okay. So she posted a photo of them at the altar kissing. And in the caption, she wrote, Marriage, still my favorite lift. With a cute little winky face.

**Kay McCabe** (1:43)
With the tongue out.

**Eric Wilson** (1:44)
13th anniversary, apparently. And the reason people think this is throwing shade is because in the lawsuit, we just discovered that at one point, Justin Baldoni asked how much Blake Lively weighed.

**Kay McCabe** (1:57)
Yes.

**Eric Wilson** (1:57)
This was obviously something that bumped Blake Lively. And he said the reason he did it is because he had to lift her.

**Kay McCabe** (2:02)
During a scene.

**Eric Wilson** (2:03)
During a scene. So he wanted to make sure that he could, I guess.

**Kay McCabe** (2:06)
Yes.

**Eric Wilson** (2:07)
By the way, he's a very strong man. I've seen his arms in all the set up shots that he's done.

**Kay McCabe** (2:11)
Okay.

**Eric Wilson** (2:12)
That's shade.

**Kay McCabe** (2:13)
Okay.

**Eric Wilson** (2:13)
And beautiful arms. No shade.

**Kay McCabe** (2:16)
No shade.

**Eric Wilson** (2:17)
But I'm sure he could have lifted Blake, regardless of asking her weight. That was, now I kind of get it.

**Kay McCabe** (2:22)
But you know, their lawsuit got really messy. Yeah. And you know, there were some allegations. They were pulling every straw. Yeah. It got real petty. And so for his wife to do this is, it's such.

**Eric Wilson** (2:35)
So let's get to it. You think it was a shot?

**Kay McCabe** (2:37)
Let me tell you something. I'm a grown woman. I know it was a shot. Okay. If that was my man, I would have been, and it wouldn't have been subliminal. It would have been directed.

**Eric Wilson** (2:45)
It's been very clear that his wife, who her name obviously is Emily, it's very clear that she's been supporting him throughout this entire ordeal.

**Kay McCabe** (2:54)
Yes.

**Eric Wilson** (2:55)
They've been on vacations together. They're still a very loving family, rightfully so. Stand by your man, as Tammy Wynette once famously sung.
So I could see her wanting to get a shot in when she...

**Kay McCabe** (3:08)
Yes.

**Eric Wilson** (3:09)
Things are starting to settle down. Right.

**Kay McCabe** (3:12)
Now is the time. And I adore that celebrities, you know, they're PR trained and their families are, you know, for the most part, PR trained.

**Eric Wilson** (3:18)
But the spouse isn't.

**Kay McCabe** (3:19)
I know. The spouse isn't. But like I said, she's better than me. I would have been sitting in shots, okay, throughout the whole thing.

**Eric Wilson** (3:24)
That's the kind of spouse I want, is one who's like, not PR trained, but will like sneak in, you know.

**Kay McCabe** (3:30)
Yeah. A little poise, subliminal sneak attack is the right way to do it. And this was definitely shade. Did you think it was shade?
