Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Anwen's Entertainment report, and he's on the fread show.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
In the second episode of his family's reality show, Alec
Baldwin's wife, Ilaria Baldwin contemplated, I'm saying, Alex, excuse me,
contemplated ending his own life after that rush shooting of
cinematographer Helena Hutchins. Now, she says Hilaria that he's been
hospitalized multiple times, suffers from heart problems, has fainted multiple

(00:23):
times as a result of his guilt. Now, Helena's family attorney,
Gloria Alred, who I'm sure you know that name, is
tearing into the TLC reality show, focusing on a specific
moment from the first episode, where his wife says, Helena
lost her life in the most unthinkable tragedy. A son
lost his mom. We're going to feel and carry this
pain forever. This will be a part of our family's story,

(00:45):
she says. They fail to mention the family story of
Helena's parents and sister, who are the ones in real
life that are forced to feel and carry the pain forever.
She also points out that Alec has never apologized to
Helena's family for his involvement in her death in twenty
two twenty one and has taken no responsibility. Now, we
talked about this on the show before, but I wonder
if there's like a legal reason that he can't apologize. Fred.

(01:09):
I think you were the one to point that out,
But I would assume that that means that he's acknowledging
that he did it, and I don't know if his
lawyers would allow him to do that. Obviously. I'm sure
that's still very painful for the family. As you know,
his involuntary manslaughter charge was dismissed last year, but her family,
Helena's family is still fighting to hold him accountable in
civil court, with Gloria wanting to actually depose him, so

(01:30):
that would be a first, She says, Song overdue for
him to testify under oath about what really happened leading
up to her death.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
So the thing is so tragic, and I don't know.
I don't know enough about I mean, I haven't been
in a movie in several months, so I don't remember.
I haven't had a start at a role. It's been
a little slow, right for Caitlin and I are off
in movies together, major motion pictures. Yeah, the last one
you may have seen was called Top Gun. Maverick. But anyway, yeah,

(01:58):
we started. We started as aircraft mechanics who are in
the background. You could have missed us if you blinked.
But honestly, if I'm an actor and you hand me
a gun as an actor, I probably would just assume
it's not a real gun, and I can do what
I gotta do as an actor with the gun. So
I'm not saying you know anything about baldwins or if
they're good people or not or whatever, But I'm just

(02:19):
I'm saying, like, if I would just figure, like, you know,
aren't there people that are supposed to make sure this
thing isn't loaded or reel or whatever else? I don't know.
I feel for the guy in this regard because there's
no possible way he could have thought that he was
actually going to hurt somebody, right, And.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
A lot of like gun experts are citing. You know,
everybody who owns a gun knows you do this, and
you do this, But when you're on a movie set
and the armorer hands you a gun, I would do
the same thing. You know, it's another day at work.
I'm sure he's used those props before. So it's very,
very tragic and I understand that her family probably wants
to put their grief towards something and feel like that

(02:54):
justice was served, but it seems very nuanced to me,
and I don't know if this show's gonna help her
hurt them. To be completely honest, I still haven't watched it,
but that is what has gone on the first two episodes,
and let's switch to something a little lighter, shall we.
Chapel Roone announced that she is dropping a new country
song called The Giver on March thirteenth, saying she grew

(03:14):
up listening to country and it was all around her
growing up in a small town in Missouri. She says
that it doesn't necessarily mean she's trying to make a
country album, even though she has a special place in
her heart for the genre and left the door open
to make more country in the future. Now correct me
if I'm wrong, but I think that was the one
she performed on SNL yep Okay, that songs a banger.
I love it, I can't wait, And she had a

(03:35):
little cute like Gingham outfit on which has nothing to
do with the story, but I also want that, So
the song's going to be good and I hope we
play it.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I know our box. This doesn't seem that off brand
to me.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Oh okay, it does for me, just because I think
everything that she stands for and what people think sometimes
country stands for or tolerates it surprised me in that way.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
But I don't know. It's great. Like if you play
a guitar at this point, we should expect you to
make a country album at some point, Like did you
play I thought she played a guitar. Maybe she could
verbe does she not? I don't know. I haven't. I haven't.
I haven't jammed out with her in a while, so
it's about a minute. Yeah, we used to be in
a jam band together, but you know, never I never

(04:18):
heard of play a country song.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
So yeah, well, okay, maybe she can play guitar. But
the song is a banger, and I hope we play it.
