Speaker 1: Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This past season on my podcast,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers,
Speaker 1: and so many other fascinating people like jazz bassist Christian McBride.
Speaker 2: Jazz is based on improvisation, but there's very much a
Speaker 2: form to it. You have a conversation based on that
Speaker 2: melody and those core changes. So it's kind of giving
Speaker 2: someone a topic and say, okay, talk about this. I
Speaker 2: don't really know what I'm going to say, but you
Speaker 2: know enough about this subject that you can just have
Speaker 2: an open conversation about it. So that's what jazz is.
Speaker 1: And comedian and actor Caroline Ray, you're most comfortable when
Speaker 1: you're on stage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I always think my stand up
Speaker 3: is a dinner party. I know what I'm gonna make,
Speaker 3: you're my guests. I don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: But the thing about stand up that amazes me is
Speaker 3: it's only going to happen in that moment in time.
Speaker 3: Even if we film it, it's never going to be
Speaker 3: what it feels.
Speaker 1: Like live and Secretary to the Governor and the most
Speaker 1: powerful unelected person in New York State government. Melissa de Rosa.
Speaker 1: Do you think Trump's going to win?
Speaker 4: I do, yes, I mean, and you've got Jill Stein
Speaker 4: just announced Joe Manchin's retiring. What's he up to these
Speaker 4: battleground state poles this far out? I know everyone wants
Speaker 4: to be dismissive of them. I think we should be
Speaker 4: sounding the alarm. Think unless we make some changes fast,
Speaker 4: and we start to engage with real people and get
Speaker 4: more in tune with what matters to them, mainly pocketbook issues,
Speaker 4: I think we're looking at an upset and I'm not
Speaker 4: sure this country can survive another four years of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Listen to the new season of Here's the Thing on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
