Episode Transcript
Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This past season on my podcast
Here's the Thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers,
and so many other fascinating people like actress and director
Cheryl Hines. They were looking for an unknown actress to
play Larry David's wife. I said, well, how old is
(00:24):
that guy? Isn't he old? Singer Kurt Smith from Tears
for Fears? You know, we have we had set up,
we have two lead singers, and I get asked, how
do you pick the songs? And It's like, to us,
it becomes very obvious. You know, if something demands vocal
acrobatics and power and in your face, that's going to
(00:44):
be Roland. Is something requires some touch of melancholio, slightly
younger song, or you really want to kind of listen,
that will be me. There's no songs we've ever done.
I don't think why we've both gone in and both
think we should do it. And actor and activist Lee A. Schreiber,
I'm looking at these guys who are painters and custodians,
kissing their wives and children goodbye and getting on a
(01:07):
bus to go fight in a war, and I'm thinking,
could I say goodbye to my kids if I had to,
if I were in some existential fight for our homes
and our lives, and the answer was no, Like I
couldn't do that. Listen to the new season of Here's
the Thing on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
(01:29):
