Speaker 1: On the weekend. I was scrolling TikTok and I came
Speaker 1: across an interview between a reporter and Ilaria Baldwin and
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin. Now, I'm sure so many of you are
Speaker 1: familiar Hilaria. She's the one who originally kind of came
Speaker 1: into the spotlight and was quite controversial because she was
Speaker 1: saying that she didn't know the name for the word
Speaker 1: cucumber because she was Spanish and she couldn't remember the word.
Speaker 1: And then she was called out very publicly because actually
Speaker 1: she's born in Boston and isn't Spanish at all. Anyway,
Speaker 1: her and Alec have seven children together, and they have
Speaker 1: brought out this documentary following their life surrounding the court
Speaker 1: case where he was embroiled in the What was it.
Speaker 2: That he was embroiled? He shot someone on set accidentally, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he killed them.
Speaker 1: It was because the prop gun had actual bullets in it.
Speaker 1: Like it's a crazy story. It's crazy. So this reality
Speaker 1: TV that's based around their lives. They're being interviewed about
Speaker 1: it on the Red Carpet and the way Ilaria speaks
Speaker 1: to Alec, I was left with my mouth on floor.
Speaker 1: Have listened to this do you want more of this
Speaker 1: season two.
Speaker 3: Show?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Now, I think we're gonna.
Speaker 3: See you know, it's we're going to see how it
Speaker 3: feels to have it'd be out there.
Speaker 2: You're a winner.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, when I'm talking, you're not talking. No,
Speaker 3: when I'm talking, you're not talking.
Speaker 1: This is why.
Speaker 3: Yes, we'll have to like just pat him out of
Speaker 3: the shop.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: It makes me I want to throw a chop stick
Speaker 2: at her.
Speaker 1: Although every time I do listen to it, I'm like,
Speaker 1: he did interrupt her twice.
Speaker 2: Yes, but he was interrupting her like trying to be
Speaker 2: a positive. But he's like, you're the best, honey, Yeah
Speaker 2: you've got this, Yeah you can do season two. He's
Speaker 2: been like a really like supportive husband. Yes, he interrupted her,
Speaker 2: but it's his show too, it's not just her show.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I saw it, and you should see his face afterwards,
Speaker 1: Like he looks absolutely downtrodden. I hate the narrative that
Speaker 1: like at the moment that's going around that she's kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, like the evil wife that's contrived this whole situation.
Speaker 1: There is like a real hate campaign around it, but
Speaker 1: she is not doing herself any favors. With this type
Speaker 1: of just like the way that she speaks to him. Now,
Speaker 1: they came out and they did what was like an
Speaker 1: explanation video around why it happened, and Alec in the
Speaker 1: original video. We'll put it on Instagram so you guys
Speaker 1: can see it's the pickup. But Alec has also joined
Speaker 1: her in this explanation video. I have listened to this
Speaker 1: piece of audeo.
Speaker 3: And that is called what's the word of the day, interrupting? Interrupting,
Speaker 3: which could be.
Speaker 2: Correct our dysfunction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's.
Speaker 3: One of our children. Time to get into the room.
Speaker 3: The whole point is that we interrupt each other all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 1: Man interrupting and correctile dysfunction.
Speaker 2: I actually love the term correct ale dysfunction. I think
Speaker 2: that's very funny. I'll give her a point for that.
Speaker 2: I don't know if she came up with that'ur trademark.
Speaker 1: Correct our dysfunction. B. When a man is correcting a
Speaker 1: woman and it's not their place to or the doing,
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be doing it because it's not the correct
Speaker 1: thing to do anyway.
Speaker 2: Like, yes, I think the video was supposed to be
Speaker 2: a bit of a parody. I think it was supposed
Speaker 2: to be like a let's laugh this situation off, let's
Speaker 2: have a united front they kids at the end. It's
Speaker 2: all very awkward and uncomfortable to watch, But it didn't.
Speaker 2: I don't think it lands. I think it makes a
Speaker 2: situation even worse for both of them. But I think
Speaker 2: that the reason you said there's a lot of hate
Speaker 2: surrounding it at the moment, Laura, and we've spoken about
Speaker 2: it before with Megan Markle. I think it comes down
Speaker 2: to this confirmation bias, where we've already decided we don't
Speaker 2: like something or someone from something they've done in the past,
Speaker 2: and then we look for any reason to be able
Speaker 2: to double down on that hate.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why it goes viral, right, like
Speaker 1: a pace of content like that probably could have gone under,
Speaker 1: could have gone without people really paying any attention to it.
Speaker 1: But because people already want to dislike her, that reinforces
Speaker 1: the reasons why we don't. But I do have to
Speaker 1: say I feel like they are not doing themselves any favors.
Speaker 1: I understand that, like this must be a really heightened
Speaker 1: emotional time going through this court case and everything, but
Speaker 1: I don't understand why they need to make a reality
Speaker 1: TV show out of it, Like surely they just puts
Speaker 1: more pressure on them as a family, But it.
Speaker 2: Just makes me think, like where are we are in
Speaker 2: society and a generation if you have taken a life.
Speaker 2: Obviously this wasn't intentional, but then your response to that
Speaker 2: as you go to trial is like, hey, what are
Speaker 2: we going to do with this? How are we going
Speaker 2: to combat this? I know, let's make a reality TV show,
Speaker 2: Like coming up with a reality TV show off the
Speaker 2: back of that whole situation. To me, I mean, it's
Speaker 2: another conversation.
Speaker 1: I just think that I think it's fascinating.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's fascinating. I think they're idiots. I do,
Speaker 2: I do, I do.
