What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMiranda Lambert says she wrote about seventy-five songs after her divorce from Blake Shelton, and she first said that took a year.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen she corrected it to roughly the first four months. Ferris Halloran of Halloran Vesper Advisory bills four thousand dollars an hour and joins us.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFerris, which is it?

  4. Ferris HalloranBoth. She revised the timeline, the seventy-five stayed put, and that's the only part of this divorce that's billable.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDid you just click a stopwatch?

  6. Ferris HalloranYes. It's four thousand an hour, so I measure the sentences, and that was a billable observation too: you asked a question.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe said it was a really not fun time, and also magical. How do you read that?

  8. Ferris HalloranI'd tell the client: the songs are delivered, the timeline is under review, and the feelings are out of scope.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call that a scope revision with a double album attached.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe record that followed had twenty-four tracks, and it came out in November twenty sixteen.

  11. Ferris HalloranTwenty-four from seventy-five. That's a thirty-two percent yield. I'd bill four hours for that math, and I'd round up.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou'd round up?

  13. Ferris HalloranAlways. Billable observation: nobody has ever disputed a rounded invoice. That click was for the previous sentence.

  14. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVerdict, Ferris. Is the seventy-five-song timeline sound?

  15. Ferris HalloranSound, with a footnote. Rating: four out of five invoices.

  16. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMr. Halloran, ninety seconds at four thousand an hour. I believe we owe you for the stopwatch.
