But Eric Danes's name 7 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: had been in headlines for the past year for reasons 8 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: other than his acting. 9 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: Yes, he announced just a year ago that he had 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 2: been diagnosed with alsluke Errig's disease, a cruel disease. It's rare, 11 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: but my god, it is a debilitating disease, and he 12 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: was very public about it. He wanted to raise awareness, 13 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: he wanted to raise funds, He wanted to do something 14 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: with this last year of his life. He didn't know 15 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: how soon it would come, actually, but this is just 16 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: a devastating diagnosis for anyone, and we've been watching him 17 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: this past. 18 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: Year just find peace with it and speaks so. 19 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: Lovingly of his daughters, And what matters is just it's 20 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: a lesson to all of us when we see someone's 21 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: life cut so short. He was such a bright star 22 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: and to see everything just shut down in the year. 23 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 3: We can all learn a lot. 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: And he is a star and a name and a 25 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: face and really a popularity on a show that is 26 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: will go down in television history. So that is why 27 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: people know his name and his face and really robes 28 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: with a show Gray's Anatomy that has the following and 29 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: the success it's had over years. If you play a 30 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: prominent role in that show, you will forever be remembered, 31 00:01:59,440 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: and he will be. 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 3: That is so true. 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: And I was telling you I was pregnant with my 34 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: youngest daughter when he made his first appearance, which just 35 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: so happened to be February nineteenth, two thousand and six. 36 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: He died on February nineteenth, twenty twenty six, so exactly 37 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: twenty years to the day his anniversary of appearing on 38 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: Gray's Anatomy. 39 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: He passed. 40 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: But I remember that episode when he showed up on 41 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: Grey's Anatomy. I was obsessed, you know, in your pregnant 42 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: ladies and you're just binging shows. 43 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 3: That's what I was doing. 44 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: And I think so many of us can remember watching 45 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: him come onto that show and just breathe new life 46 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: to it because he played just basically a dueling role 47 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: to Patrick Dempsey's McDreamy, So it was Mick Dreamy versus 48 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: mc steamy, and it was just double the fun for 49 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: everyone who watched that show. 50 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: He brought just a spark and as sass to it. 51 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: And he was not a reminder here, folks. He was 52 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: not a part of that show. Initially. He did not 53 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: start off with that show on season one, but he did, yeah, 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: to make a guest appearance in season two, and it 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: went over well. It turned into a regular thing the 56 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: following season, and he was with it for the following 57 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: what twenty and six, twenty twelve? Do I have that right? 58 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: But he was through a long stretch. Now, I went 59 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: through season eight robes I don't remember. I guess a 60 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: lot of people will, and this will be a big 61 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: I guess this is for a show that popular. If 62 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 1: it loses a main character, that's a big event. And 63 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: what was it? They wrote him off of the show 64 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: at the end of season eight, certainly the beginning of 65 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: season nine. Yes, a plane crashers, Yeah, you. 66 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: Know, And I had fallen off the show at that point. 67 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: Then I became a busy mom of two and didn't 68 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: have as much time to watch the show. But yes, 69 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 2: and people were very upset because, look, you know you've 70 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: watched even with Sabine and some of these current shows, 71 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: they loved to pit either women against each other or men, 72 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: like your team Conrad or team Belly or team whatever. 73 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 2: So this was maybe one of those first rivalries where 74 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: you're either team mc dreamy or team mc steamy. So yes, 75 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: when McDreamy got written off the show, they were definitely 76 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: fans who were upset about it. Kisteemyey, sorry, but Dreamy 77 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: Patrick Dempsey's character lived on. Yes, well that's that was 78 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: also up and down and all around. But you know 79 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: what's so funny is my daughters now like rediscovered Gray's 80 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: Anatomy during the pandemic and they became obsessed with the show. 81 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 3: So it was fun to watch them go through all of. 82 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: Those seasons and watch just the excitement and the drama 83 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: of Grey's Anatomy that just brought so many people to 84 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: their television sets. 85 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: And we will see him, folks again. He is actually 86 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: in the new season of Euphoria. I say new season 87 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: as if he's just joining. No, he has been in 88 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: that show throughout its inception and if you watch it. 89 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't catch it. But all I have to 90 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,119 Speaker 1: do is say, Jacob Elordi. These days, he plays Jacob 91 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: Elordi's dad in that show, plays cal and those scenes 92 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: have been shot, that season has been shot, and we're 93 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: told we will get a chance to see him now 94 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: posthumously Robes. But the other thing I did not realize, 95 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: and I haven't been watching the show Brilliant Minds. Is 96 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: it Fox? 97 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 98 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: It is. 99 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: But he had and they have been describing now a 100 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: scene in that show Robes, in which he plays a 101 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 1: firefighter with als and the director, the creator, a writer 102 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: on that show, said that something happened when he did 103 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: that scene that he'd never seen before. He said, the 104 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 1: whole crew gave this man a ten minute standing ovation 105 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: after he shot that scene. He said, it was just 106 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: such a yes, impressive in your acting, but it was 107 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: so personal in that he was absolutely playing a character 108 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: that was going through the same thing he was going through, 109 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: and it said, it was just chilling. Now, I want 110 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: to go back. Obviously, definitely that has aired. I want 111 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: to go back and watch that for sure. But he 112 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: continued to work, he continued to be out there, and 113 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: I guess it was just recent recent months and last 114 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: year as well. He had to cancel some appearances just 115 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: ALS it does, I mean, it is cruel. Alis is cruel, 116 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: It's cruel. 117 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 3: I look my uncle. 118 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 2: You were at the funeral with me. My uncle Ken 119 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: passed from ALS. I believe he lived with it for 120 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: a little more than a year. But to watch somebody 121 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 2: so strong one day and then very quickly see the decline, 122 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: it's remarkable to see how quickly and how cruelly, as 123 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: you put it, this disease takes away the ability just 124 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: to function as a normal adult, and you can go 125 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: from being Look at Eric Dane, he was mixed to 126 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: me for a reason. He was this specimen of a man, strong, gorgeous. 127 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: At fifty three, you think he's got another thirty years 128 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 2: ahead of him. You wouldn't even imagine that in one year, 129 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 2: someone who could be at really his prime could decline 130 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: so quickly. It's just the cruelty of the disease. And 131 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: to have people watch it happen is something to be said. 132 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: To be able to show the world what this disease does, 133 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: hopefully to motivate people to continue to search for a 134 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: cure or at least something to help because there isn't 135 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: a lot out there right now. 136 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: They still don't know what causes this, do they. But 137 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: it's als I had to didn't know the acronym amyotrophic 138 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as Lugarrig's disease, named after 139 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: lou Garrick, the Yankee Great, who had this disease that 140 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: he died in his late thirties. Even I think this 141 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: is a eighty five year anniversary this year of his death, actually, 142 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: But it's just rose it muscular atrophy. They use the 143 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: term your segmatically. They use the term your muscles waste away. 144 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: It's a degenerative neurological disorder. You can't control your own bodies, 145 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: your muscle and his movements, And they use the term 146 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: you literally your muscles waste away. 147 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: And the sad thing is, as you point out, its 148 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: it destroys the neurons in your brain and in your 149 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: spinal cord, so yes, your spine. And then when your 150 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: brain obviously starts to deteriorate, the paralysis isn't just in 151 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: your arms and legs. 152 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: It actually at the end. And this happened to my 153 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: uncle as well. 154 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: He could not speak, he could not swallow and then 155 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: eventually you can't breathe without assistance. 156 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 3: So this is just a horrific, horrific disease. 157 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: And for people who love the people who are suffering 158 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: with this, you just feel so helpless. There's nothing you 159 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: can do. And so for Eric Dane to be a 160 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 2: public base of this, look, we don't have a. 161 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 3: Lot of folks. 162 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 2: This is a fairly rare disease, but when it does happen, 163 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: it's so devastating. And I applaud him for being public 164 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: and going public with it for this past year. 165 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: And we did hear from his family about his final 166 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: days and who was with him. Stay here will share 167 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: the statement from his family, but also from his network, 168 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: his television family, and their statement on the pack of 169 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: mxed Steamy Stare.

I haven't come 176 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: across any where he was ever bothered or upset at 177 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: that label. 178 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: No, and I can't imagine most people would be. 179 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: And you know what, he played the role like an arrogant, 180 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: good looking prick of a doctor. I mean, that was 181 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: his role and he relished it. He played it so well. 182 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, he leaned in hard to it, had that 183 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: devilish smile. 184 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: He's a cosmetic surgeon too. 185 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: Yes, he was exactly. 186 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: He played the role we perfectly and he looked the part. 187 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: He was the part. And look people who uh you 188 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: mentioned the tribute to book gun pouring in. So many 189 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 2: of the actors and actresses who worked with him talk 190 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: about his quick wit and his devilish smile and how 191 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 2: that little spark that he brought to the character was 192 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: truly who he was inside. He was fun to verbally 193 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: spar with. He just was playful and brilliant and fun 194 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: to work with. That's how everyone is remembering him. 195 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: I was there was a show on I think it 196 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: was T and T years ago called that he was 197 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: called the Last Ship that as far as television goes, 198 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: that is the role. I'm most familiar with him at 199 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: I guess that was more of a dude show in 200 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: a lot of ways. He played this naval captain kind 201 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: of a thing. And they're outfit, so I remember hear 202 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: from that he has a particular look that makes him 203 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: You put a military uniform on him, you go, okay, yeah, 204 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: that works. Like he just has a physique and a 205 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: build and a look, and there was something to him. 206 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: I guess I didn't watch Gray's anatomy. He was younger there. 207 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: I saw him in his I guess old, not like 208 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: he was old, but he just had this distinct, unique 209 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: and almost military look to him. He was always so 210 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: put together. So you think about als going after somebody 211 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: like that, and look, it's awful no matter who it 212 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: happens to. But but bros, we've done several Jesus, grimey, 213 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: who do we have here? Robert Duvall just passed away. Yes, 214 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson, Jesse jet But we just had another actor 215 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: passed away. And as soon as I saw every day 216 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: pass like, oh here comes this in threees thing again, 217 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: but broes, we Robert duval pass. He's ninety five. We 218 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: can celebrate, we can feel good, and now he lived 219 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: a long life. This feels shitty, right, it's just no 220 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: matter what, just a fifty three that just feels awful. 221 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: And in a year we go from he's acting and 222 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: see him in these shows to one year he says 223 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: he has this disease and he's gone. 224 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: Look, this is the point you get to a certain age. 225 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: I just turned fifty three, and obviously, having been diagnosed 226 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 2: with cancer at forty, you just start to realize that 227 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: there is a point in your life when you start 228 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: to see people your age dying, either of cancer or 229 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 2: a debilitating disease like this. And yes it's rare, and 230 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: yes it isn't something that you should be obsessed with 231 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: to the point where it's devastating. But you can look 232 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 2: at death as a motivator. I've always looked at it 233 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: like this, and I'm sure this is what Eric Dane 234 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: and anyone whose life was cut short and they were 235 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 2: preparing for an early death. Hug the people you love, 236 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: focus on what's important. Remember, the value of your relationships 237 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: is the most important part of why we're here. It 238 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: isn't the fame, It isn't the fortunate, It isn't the roles, 239 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: It isn't isn't any of that. 240 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: It's who you have. 241 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: Around you, and I love when I've been reading about him. 242 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: In every single article, it is about the love of 243 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: his two daughters. And he does have an interesting relationship, 244 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: or he did at least with his estranged wife, who 245 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,599 Speaker 2: was also an actress that a lot of folks would 246 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 2: see and remember with familiarity. But they were divorcing, and 247 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 2: they had been divorcing since twenty eighteen, and once he 248 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: was diagnosed, they called off the divorce. And look, they 249 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 2: weren't romantic with one another. They were involved with other 250 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: people actually, but they stayed together and kept that family 251 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: bond because when you know you are facing impending death, 252 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: you just make different decisions. 253 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: And his family did put out a statement and certainly 254 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: mentioned the daughters. As you say therebes quote, he spent 255 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: his final day surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, 256 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: and his two beautiful daughters, Billy and Georgia, who were 257 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: the center of his world. He said he was a 258 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: passionate advocate for awareness and research when he came to 259 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: ALS and saying, quote, he will be deeply missed and 260 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: lovingly remembered all ways. Statement from ABC saying as well 261 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: that they were deeply saddened at the loss. They said, 262 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: his remarkable talent and unforgettable presence on Gray's Anatomy left 263 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: a lasting impact on audiences around the world. And that 264 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: is true, Robes. He has left, He's left a legacy 265 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: and was a part of something that will go down 266 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: in history. He will never be forgotten because certainly of 267 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: that show. But there are people Billy Georgia around him who, yes, 268 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: they appreciate that work, but they lost a whole lot 269 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: more than what I guess the rest of the world 270 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: to a certain degree are missing today. But I think 271 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people are hurting and like genuinely hurting 272 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: and mourning. And this was a tough one to wake 273 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: up to. 274 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 3: It certainly was. 275 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: And I think you know, at a certain point we 276 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: all knew once he had that diagnosis that time was 277 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: not on his side. But certainly this was even shorter 278 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: than most expected. But you know what a really cool 279 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: thing is that we can still see him. He's still 280 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: going to be appearing on television. We can go back 281 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: and watch some of the art he left behind. I've 282 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: never seen the last ship. I would love to do that. 283 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: These are the moments when you can go back and 284 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: remember someone and honor the work they did, and I 285 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 2: think by honoring the way you live and how you 286 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: treat others and what you focus on and what you 287 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: make ort today and tomorrow, that's also how you honor 288 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: people who were fighting for their last breath to be 289 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 2: around the people they love. So thank you Eric Dane 290 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: for the art and for the lessons in life and 291 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: without everyone, thank you for listening to us. 292 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 3: I'm Amy Roeboch alongside t. J. Holmes. We'll talk to 293 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 3: you soon.
