WEBVTT - Here’s the Thing: Trailer

0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This past season on my podcast,

0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers,

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:16.759
<v Speaker 1>and so many other fascinating people like jazz bassist Christian McBride.

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Jazz is based on improvisation, but there's very much a

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.120
<v Speaker 2>form to it. You have a conversation based on that

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 2>melody and those core changes. So it's kind of giving

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 2>someone a topic and say, okay, talk about this. I

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 2>don't really know what I'm going to say, but you

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 2>know enough about this subject that you can just have

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 2>an open conversation about it. So that's what jazz is.

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>And comedian and actor Caroline Ray, you're most comfortable when

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>you're on stage.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I feel like I always think my stand up

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 3>is a dinner party. I know what I'm gonna make,

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 3>you're my guests. I don't know what's going to happen.

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 3>But the thing about stand up that amazes me is

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 3>it's only going to happen in that moment in time.

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Even if we film it, it's never going to be

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 3>what it feels.

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Like live and Secretary to the Governor and the most

0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>powerful unelected person in New York State government. Melissa de Rosa.

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you think Trump's going to win?

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 4>I do, yes, I mean, and you've got Jill Stein

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 4>just announced Joe Manchin's retiring. What's he up to these

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 4>battleground state poles this far out? I know everyone wants

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 4>to be dismissive of them. I think we should be

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 4>sounding the alarm. Think unless we make some changes fast,

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:19.839
<v Speaker 4>and we start to engage with real people and get

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 4>more in tune with what matters to them, mainly pocketbook issues,

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 4>I think we're looking at an upset and I'm not

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 4>sure this country can survive another four years of Donald Trump.

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Listen to the new season of Here's the Thing on

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:36.440
