Alec Baldwin’s podcast, “Here’s The Thing” has gone slightly under the radar, and it’s been a travesty. His interview with Michael Douglas should have won something. I don’t know, some NPR gold statuette studded in blood diamonds. But perhaps his most recent interview with Billy Joel will shoot “Here’s The Thing” into its proper notoriety. Seriously. It’s incredible.
It’s a magical display of two Long Island baby boomers riffing on their own successes and shortcomings, and regressing into their childhood selves. Luckily Buzzfeed extracted one of the greatest portions, where the two let their guards down for a beautiful 6+ minutes.
Enjoy.
