1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Herein's entertainment report, and he's on the Fred Show.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: All right, have to start out with a pretty difficult story.

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: As you know, Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria star Eric Dane

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: died after a very admirable battle with als last week

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 2: at just fifty three years old, and he's kind of

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: been consuming the internet. People's hearts are just breaking for

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: his family and everything he went through. And he actually

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: did an interview with Gwyneth Peltrow's husband Brad Felchuk, which

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: he released on Netflix Friday.

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: And like Fred, I couldn't watch it.

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 2: I could not watch the whole thing, but there are

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: little parts and pieces that have been making their way

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: onto the internet the Internet, and he gave his daughters

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: Billy and Georgia some advice on life. But I actually

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: think it would be useful for all of us to hear.

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: So here's that part.

17
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 3: First live now, right now, in the present. It's hard,

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: but I learned who knew that? Want mentally lost in

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: my head for a long jones than die, wallowing and worrying,

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: so pity, shame and down and replayed his scenes. Second,

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: guess myself, I should have done this and never should

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 3: have done that no more.

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's so heartbreaking to listen to, but he's

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: just basically saying, like, we spent so much of our

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: lives worrying about things that don't matter, and it's very

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: hard for any.

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Of us to be present.

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: And so I just thought that was a nice little

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: portion of the interview. And another quote that I'm sure

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: you saw going viral was Eric talking about his ex wife,

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: Rebecca Gayheart, the mother of his children.

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: Eric said, there's a lot of love there.

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: I will never by the time anybody sees this, would

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: have fallen in love with another woman as deeply as

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: I fell in love with Rebecca.

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: Now.

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: I saw a lot of confusion about this online, about

38
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: the fact that he was so legally married to Rebecca

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: but also had a girlfriend at the time of his death.

40
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: So here's the deal with that. I wanted to clear

41
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: it up.

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: They decided he and Rebecca to separate in twenty seventeen.

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: She filed after fifteen years together, something that Eric took

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: ownership for during a past interview, saying I think she

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 2: was more willing to show up and do her part

46
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: than I was. I don't have that gene that makes

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: you just want to keep going regardless of what's happening.

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, if there's a hole in the boat, don't

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: try to patch the hole, Stall the damn thing, and

50
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: go find a new one. Even though they were broken up,

51
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: they remain legally married. But in March of twenty twenty five,

52
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: and I remember, I have children. I remember talking about

53
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: this on the air, Rebecca filed to dismiss their divorce.

54
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: And now we know why.

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: And we didn't know at the time what would possess

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 2: them to do that after they had been seeing other

57
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: people while at the time of his passing, he was

58
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: dating a woman named Janelle Shirtcliff.

59
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: And I saw you know, people in the times.

60
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Going wait he was married, but yes, so Eric and

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: Janelle debuted their romance in June, two months after he

62
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: shared his als diagnosis, something else that he you know,

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: had talked about and shared once he realized, okay, this

64
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: is going to be my situation while I battle. So, yes,

65
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: he was legally married. They had both moved on and

66
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: he did have a girlfriend. Now that I understand why,

67
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: he said that he will always love Rebecca as much

68
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: as he did because.

69
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: She's the mother of his children. But I don't know

70
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: that'd be hard to hear.

71
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: Also that like he didn't I don't know how long

72
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: he was with his girlfriend, but he will never love

73
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: another woman like he loved her. Something else that is

74
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: taking up space in all of our brains is Punch

75
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: the monkey, and we just got a text about him.

76
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: So it's perfect timing to give a little update.

77
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: Now.

78
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: If you don't know, maybe you've seen videos of this

79
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: sweet little Japanese monkey that was abandoned by his mom

80
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: and then turned to a stuffed monkey for comfort.

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: He does not go anywhere without this thing.

82
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: And if that wasn't enough, then we saw clips of

83
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: him being bullied by other monkeys. He got chased, he

84
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: got dragged, he got pushed by the older monkeys at

85
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: the zoo. He would run to a corner clutching his

86
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: stuffed orangutaning toy tightly to his chest. He's all I

87
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: think about. Give me ten minutes with those damn monkeys.

88
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: But I have an update. He is starting to make friends,

89
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: the zoo says, and also he is still seeking comfort

90
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: in his stuffy So things are turning around for Punch.

91
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: But I think, like the memes, one meme said, I

92
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: wish he knew the whole world was rooting for him,

93
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: and it just became a bigger conversation about vulnerability, resilience,

94
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: and the universal need for attachment.

95
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: So like we're all just like, we're rooting for you.

96
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: Punch we love you. I know you're a listener. But

97
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: he is making friends now. I want to go to

98
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: Japan and just whoop a punch a little monkey ass.

99
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: I've never wanted to hurt an animal. And I was like,

100
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I literally want.

101
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: To punch that that monkey because you'll get him and

102
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: be like, uh uh, he's been through enough.

103
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 1: I mean, you'll be a mean to our boy. Stop

Speaker 1: it right now, right and get him all the toys

00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to show to roll up on those bullies.
