- 1:21Speaker 2: hours of televised main event following an earlier untelevised session
- 1:25Speaker 2: where they the first awards are handed out right and
- 1:27Speaker 2: I think something you know, technical the weekend before.

- 1:32Speaker 1: genres now in music.

- 1:49Speaker 2: a lot of awards that the Grammys that sound the.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Same already cover these things.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Well, Best Traditional Pop Vocal before what is it? What
- 1:58Speaker 2: is that? I was expecting to streamline things a bit,
- 2:01Speaker 2: not add more because there's a lot of double up
- 2:04Speaker 2: type awards. It's almost like, you know, we'll just give
- 2:07Speaker 2: everyone one.
- 2:09Speaker 1: It's almost like we're going to create enough category so
- 2:12Speaker 1: that everyone gets ex exactly.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Yes, Stephen Baldwin's in the news this morning, not the
- 2:17Speaker 2: usual Baldwin making headlines it's because he just shared a
- 2:20Speaker 2: story from his Hollywood past, claiming he was removed from
- 2:24Speaker 2: the cast of nineteen ninety eight's Jennifer Aniston movie The
- 2:28Speaker 2: Object of My Affection after only two days of filming
- 2:31Speaker 2: because he was too funny, speaking on the One Bad Movie.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Speaking on the One Bad Movie podcast, Baldwin said he'd
- 2:39Speaker 2: been cast as Aniston's boyfriend in the romantic comedy, which
- 2:42Speaker 2: also starred Paul Rutt. On day two of filming, a
- 2:46Speaker 2: producer visited his trailer his Winnebago after lunch and informed
- 2:50Speaker 2: him there was a problem. The producer goes, you can't
- 2:53Speaker 2: be funnier than Jennifer, and Baldwin goes, is this a joke?
- 2:57Speaker 2: This is a comedy. So he goes back on set
- 3:00Speaker 2: tried to scale it back. This reminds me of that
- 3:02Speaker 2: Seinfeld episode where George is mad Jerry's too funny in
- 3:05Speaker 2: front of his new girlfriend.
- 3:06Speaker 1: What's the murder? And it would to kill you not
- 3:08Speaker 1: to be so funny all the time? That's all I'm asking.
- 3:10Speaker 1: This woman thinks I'm very funny. You know you're gonna
- 3:13Speaker 1: be funny, So what am I gonna be? I'm gonna
- 3:15Speaker 1: be a short.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Balld guy with glasses or suddenly it doesn't seem so
- 3:17Speaker 2: funny anyway. Bordwin says it didn't work out and he
- 3:21Speaker 2: was released from the film. The role ended up being
- 3:24Speaker 2: played by the suitably Morosa. I guess John Pancal. I
- 3:28Speaker 2: was trying to think where I knew that name from.
- 3:29Speaker 2: He was Paul Riser's cousin Ira. I'm mad about.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Shit, okay, just he's the one who humorous but not
- 3:36Speaker 1: too funny. Well he was. He didn't upstage Paul Riser.
- 3:39Speaker 1: He didn't, so I thought he won't upstairs the stage.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Gen he's a safe bet. Yeah, all right,
