What are the Baldwins' recent public image struggles?
hey welcome to a special weekend edition of the nerve this is something we have never done before but um we want to give you guys all the content we possibly can and we hear you that you're loving the weekend stuff and we are loving providing it for you we love it so usually what we do is is the mini nerve where it's you know sort of bonus content it runs about 20 minutes not this weekend okay this weekend we're giving you a special mix up, mash up of like the best of the nerve so far. You know, three distinct segments that, you know, maybe you missed an episode or you didn't hear a certain thing. You know, we had a little technical glitch on Wednesday and the episode went up later. Blame the French, okay? Just blame the French. But, you know, that episode is up now and you guys will have this to hopefully hold you over.
So here it is. our very first full edition of The Nerve on a weekend. Enjoy. We are going to talk about Hilaria Baldwin. I can't roll my Rs. I used to be able to. I had like six years of Spanish. I lost it all, like they say you will if you don't speak it all the time. So this bilingual thing she's using as her latest excuse doesn't really hold water, but we'll get into that.
Why is Hilaria Baldwin on a book tour?
So she is now on a book tour. She wrote this book that I will show you. I saved you time, I saved you money, but I am going to bring you some real entertainment with this one. As we know, the Baldwin's reality show has been an epic failure. not just in terms of ratings, but like reputationally, like nobody wanted to watch it. Everybody saw it for what it was like an attempt for Alec and his fame, hoary, hungry wife. looking to rehab their reputations after Alec shot a 42-year-old cinematographer named Helena Hutchins accidentally, fatally, on the set of Rust, leaving her husband left to raise their young son alone. But you know what? Rust came out this week too because we all have to see Alec fucking Baldwin's brilliance on the screen. I would have had that movie burned. I don't even think they use actual film anymore, do they? However they shot it, I would have burned it. Okay. So Hilaria is now out on her book tour. And she's talking about many, many things. Nobody's really asking about the Spanish thing. I would give...
give like an organ you can do without or like even just like you know i'd give an appendix maybe like i would undergo surgery to have a moment to sit down with hilaria and really bring some questions that america would like answers to okay so she goes on the today's show and she's asked about the rust shooting and she says quote sometimes bad things happen Okay. Sometimes a bad thing happens. Like a bad thing happening is like you get a parking ticket when you thought you were like in the clear. Okay. A bad thing is like your Amazon package didn't come on time. Okay. This verbiage does not rise to the level of a young woman, a young wife and mother losing her life. Okay. So right away, I mean, again, like it's not happening.
What controversy surrounds Alec Baldwin and the Rust shooting?
I hope Hilaria is enjoying this moment in the sun because I do think we are well and truly done with her. Now, I'm going to show you the book. It's called Manual Not Included. And again, this book is smaller than The Let Them Theory. And we talked about the physical size of The Let Them Theory as being so small. It's like the publisher is trying to trick you that this is an actual book. This thing is really tiny and it's really slim. I think there's six chapters in here. That for me was like a chapter book when I was in the fifth grade. So this is already insulting. Now look at the narcissism as well, because we've got Hilaria and Alec on the cover. And this is a trick I learned in magazines. It's not like a trick, but it's an insight when I used to work at magazines.
When you look at something, be it like a layout or a book cover, the eye naturally wants to go left first. So... Guess who's the star on the left of this cover? It's Hilaria Baldwin. Okay. Not for nothing, there's a shit ton of photos inside this book. And typically when an author is on the cover of their book, usually a celebrity's face will be on the cover of their memoir.
