love that film recently started the 3rd season of amazon prime series goliath alongside the great billy bob thornton and then it says a new podcast out called the demo sols aka a snake available to stream wherever you get your podcasts dennis quaid how are you my friend excellent this is a true bit of science a day being with you. a friend or a mom and melt you know it isn't blow your mind as much as it blows my mind that except for the coronavirus the killer would be rocking somewhere tonight absolutely blows by to fill up yeah it's true he's still with us you know he had a stroke a year ago. and hasn't been able to play sense but i do believe in healer and i do think he's coming back i really do essent down the piano i heard after a couple of months ago and. he's coming back.

myrick gal 75 now i'm telling you the way that that was when i 1st i think i met you in 80 must in the late eighty's and you were just. bang up job as that jerry lee and it's just that it we had a lot on airplanes and act like we were both at 1st class on an airplane. ways to promote celebrity fellows to each other. it was that i remember one time i was on that island they called him jim grant it was like an all 1st class airline and robert klein the comedian got on and he came down the center aisle and he would plane of people is like bridger gear barbra streisand's crazy and he walked out of the aisle robert klein he oh somebody somebody nobody nobody even somebody. i'd never understood that era light either because they would put you on this big

jet right they had sort of like you know like on trains when you have a private car they have little cubicles of those so you were like you have $63.00 seats here and then you have 3 seats right across and they were you know so the celebrities we got to look at each other across the aisles. but one thing that i really relished when i get what i fly on an airplane is that i don't really have to talk to anybody or suppose or whatever i just like to bury myself or whatever i'm reading or whatever and. that was it possible on those celebrity airlines. well listen it's going to be different now because not your i'm wondering if the mask drops down when the plane decompresses you have to put it over the other man. it's a bit it's a whole new world my friends where you were you hold up for you and used them and now i'm here in l.a. i now pass over

a man or plan in somewhere where you. i'm up in santa barbara california and i must say i'm not exactly the most gregarious sort so i've had worse i've had worse things in my life than the isolation but even i who is a bit of a like social recalcitrant even i'm starting to log just to be out here people in the back that that you know well hang up against humanity i'm missing it yeah really being an actor you know we were sort of trained for this you know we're used to like finishing a job not knowing where our next 2 months coming from and having months in between just to sort of lay around the house or do all we do that so that comes in handy during times like this. i was a 66 year old man named dennis asking another 66 year old man named dennis ike i know how important in my filmography the last picture show and i'm not even from

texas i can't imagine i can't imagine all that they'll muster resonated with you yeah well that was my brother's very 1st movie and he non-net as a student at the university of euston and it was sort of like a light bulb went off that you know you can actually get jobs in movies and subsequently did that peter bogdanovich invited him out to do a small part of what's up doc his next film and randy wound up living out there in l.a. and. you know. i literally did follow my brother's footsteps but because it made it real. you must say hi to him one of the loveliest cats i've ever worked with and i did a year dowson out with him and we used to i delighted in his company he made me laugh he was so perceptive and you know sometimes randy would sneak up like you and

then he is say something good she's this guy has a stranglehold on the human condition so you have to give much thought it was such a sweet well that. i will get one seems like you guys both have the same sort of humor twisted but. we were in the porn star ron jeremy what a night on such who has or. it's one of the most surreal nights of my life so hard i'll tell you about it sometimes we're not on t.v. but god he may be that night all right now listen i look at your curriculum details and you are loaded for bear what god's name has brought you to the denizens podcast . well my partner and i jerry good stat we had the number 2 music podcast last year. it was called bear and a banjo we did it with t.-bone burnett who bear and bob dylan and it was basically the return of the concept album and it was

a true fiction of american music from radio on told through these nefarious characters of baron banjo and it we had such great success with it that you know we wanted to do it again and but not just that we started a platform called audio up and we are out to be i guess the you tube of of pod cast as sort of like a studio and we have a slate of podcast the denizen it's being the flagship i guess the 1st out there but we're also doing things like we have an audio artur where it's kind of like scripts from the drawer that i have a script on spade cooley billy bob thornton's got a script for it collins who was biggest story between what are one and what were 2 and we're going to do them like are all radio plays and started you know have a tremendous amount of players and that and you know and do these and our partners

are m.g.m. and warner brothers records and m.g.m. is gavin has given us access to all of their scripts that were done or maybe even not done going back to 1930 so there's a wealth of a library there. god what a great way to rebirth that old stuff this sounds like t.c.m. with it's playing or something my friend yeah he does work quite something you do it with the foley and it's funny how like the old ideas keep coming around they're kind of the best ideas we have another we have another show. called uncle drank which is this sort of that true fictional character that gary busey is going to do. who is you know sort of up kind of a parent had he's not country western he's gulf and western is this president is. fixable songs like biggest dock on the lake and it's

a sterile it's just it's all about getting hammered and it's. it that it's got to be softened and we have another one make it up which is another true fiction of kind of a reality story of this girl from amarillo goes to to nashville to become a singing star and songwriter so we got a whole slate well you guys you guys have laid this out that has i mean usually yeah talk to people a lot of platform they've got a theory all ideas you guys sound like you've got the you've got the story beats pounded out here when we have a year and a half to do it and it just so happened you know that we were planning our launch date to be like the 1st of april on april fool's day and of course the pandemic at the end it turns out it could have been a better time to act on solid start something like this. because of. people or at home and they're hungry for something to entertain themselves with.

i know i'm for racist men and this sounds right up my alley because ken burns just lit my fuse i don't know if you watch the 16 hours of country music but it is leave all pretty a pretty amazing out a long time coming to that it's so good and. rugged that's in a way that really helped us with baird a banjo it's it's a little bit like the same thing going to fictitious way and but most of our stuff is going to be music really we want to bring back the idea of the concept album remember when you used to get a record and you read the liner notes and there'd be some concept behind it you know whether be pink floyd or whether it be sergeant pepper or redheaded stranger or whatever and so we're going to take records artist and build stories around these records and. and bring back the idea of

a concept album and release like a you know single a week but have it be a real album. i think it's time i'm always fond of tumbleweeds connection in my rear view because i don't have the need saw gled the next but that whole bible is beautiful for me i can't think of you i really rather that it will do that than elton but it was great we're talking to dennis quaid he's got a podcast the denizens and you hear so it's an entirely well conceived platt lorax hit i can't wait to see some of that as well what are you going to do on your particular show now that it's moved outside the closet a fictional thing you can interview people who do you have coming up dennis yes i already have. my favorite part of acting is the research when i especially when i play somebody for that's you know a real person like gordo cooper or or jimmy morse of the rookie or whatever and i get to go on all those doors to say authorized personnel only and really dig down

and find out about that character about what makes them tick and. i've taken that process and brought it to dish show called it genocide and. it is people that i have known in my life or that i. had just getting to know and i find out what makes them tick i approach it like i'm going to play them play them in a movie and so i ask them very personal questions or we just have a buncha laughs or whatever it is but how to get to know them just by feeling them out maybe in a different way you don't get on a usual interview. well listen there's ride in the back seat of a cop car to flesh it out and then there's having to be. laughing with the guy to flesh it out there's a bunch of different ways to get under somebody's skin but that's where the best craft comes from after the break i'm going to talk to dennis about the lion i want

to talk to more back music because as god has accomplished as he is with acting i can tell it's all those the b. story in an odd way when he talks about music lights up or visit with that many other subjects right up to the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. tease holiday international memorial awards are now open for entries all media professionals are eligible whether you are free longs journalist work for all terms of media or part of a global news platform to participate send us your published works in video or written for much go to award dot altie dot com and enter now. thinking of getting a new puppy once we've gotten here she's on why it's you know it's still trapped in

this tiny little wired you don't need a crate with him he will just stir freaking out into the wall when it's pretty much anywhere near thousands of greeting dogs and caged in you lane conditions on puppy farm i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. you. get 2 kids. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and still most of the puppies are coming from these large scale. factory farming kind of operations are being slow and stores even giant a good businesses are involved like i'll give them some to there's been a shocking amount of them organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for docs right in commercial breeding facilities most of that opposition is

coming from agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with dogs don't buy dog on a hearty. welcome back to dennis miller plus one we're joined by on this same musician actor is he must hear actor musician a lot but i can tell it's in your blood brother what the before randy bumps into the dawn of the. what do you what do you as a young person are you more intrigued by music or film at that point well grown up you know parents work so we're left home in the afternoon and randy would have a door locked could he be in there or like with a tape recorder practicing is precious and you know his comedy act and you know whatever and i would be in my room with my guitar which i got here it is right here i got what i was like i actually got this guitar the very night of the

elvis special night of the television special in 68. yeah the one worries in the small octagon are the small yeah that's yeah we're in the leather and everything else that's in from that night but i be practicing that and. yeah that was my 1st love that's what i really i think i wanted to do and i could never could shred a guitar so songwriting was my defense on that and well anyway i wound up getting into acting which is a good tank but i also i did many a music movie throughout my career which really came in handy and i was lucky enough to do have played with and been around you know quite a number of people that i allies to as a kid and. you know it sucks it's never too late i'm going to be all this got to make it a rock a roll what are you now finally going to make it all i know is when i go back and

look at the special and i actually was doing some t.v. once and a producer he said to me hey i'm milk and i said wait a 2nd because that special is important that's that that's not the high water mark that said no to leo the elvis fan should be said yeah trust me i'm proud but i was along for the ride you couldn't watch that guy's care charisma and when you see the king and that's word circle that he is absolutely at the height of the resentment that was the i think that was the most incredible performance of his entire career actually and it was just you know it just came out and it just happened and. it is quite something. yeah well he's a visitor he might as well be michael rennie getting up the space ship and dating are stood still because the cat is of your litter from another planet you know the 1st guy in after the ice breakers. chuck chuck berry and little ridgwell the killer you know carrie lee which you know i got to do

a lot of doing great balls of fire and i did play piano but i had a year to prepare for it at that time i did play guitar so at least i knew you know something about rhythm and yet he was one of my teachers you know the killer was and he was he was over my over my back shoulder the entire time we were doing the movie said count your good it rocks that. it was also very very generous and you know what a great spirit and you know make up like that anymore that's for sure man he's that's that's what real rock n roll is all about that dude. over the ino when i watched you then i remember thinking wow this is a tour de force this cat's about to move into the ether and ether is a great dwelling place but it also is weird mad to get that famous that quick the world's your oyster shuckers and you dig loyce transmat and i don't i guess showing through ringback for a while right yeah you don't. do you don't don't but those oysters you know.

nobody teaches you how to be a success and thanks and you know there's a lot that really comes with it some people handle it really well and. like my son jack i see him handling it you know really well but i did. handle it so well and you know i want to pick okayed rehab of course you know 8090 and luckily got it got it got it right the 1st time and i worked my way back i've been a very lucky i can say is i but i'm i've had a very lucky life and a great career. yeah what a great run and i cited a golf tournament once i finished last up in like tal and you with charles barkley and you were hitting the ball nice i look like your play and high single digit and i remember i mean well when that started we were both talking body else. we're having i remember thinking off i. when you got healthy though you know that

healthy that you were you know you looked like. you you looked like doug sanders in your band law and i thought this guy doesn't have enough that are so when you drop blow and got healthy and seems like you attack health of the same degree of vigor by fred. well yes that happens you know it's funny how you think when you know when you when you when you get healthy like that you think you think you clean up your life you think things are going to be a lot easier and that they actually get a lot harder actually now at least you know you got to be careful what you ask god for because he just might give it to you now wife talk to more than a few cats michael douglas i'm not speaking out of school alice cooper who said golf saved them a lot back and they altered your themselves in a. yeah that that in fact the very day i got out of rehab i started

like golf and i never stop although i only play once a day these days but. it's it's a great way to torment yourself and get all that stuff out so you don't have to check it out in your family. now tell me about billy billy bob i'm from a far i always dig him i'm not that hip to the show glad that you and your tubes i find you to authentic and kept the faith in like i know it that well but tell me about the lies tell me about it working with billy bob he seems like an i reckon authentic to me. you know we've been friends you know out. i really don't have a lot of actor friends to tell you the truth because they're so self-involved and and i got a clue myself and i believe billy billy bob just he's such a regular guy we lived just a half mile from each other and we did the alamo together back in the day and. we're just turn out to be great friends and it's so easy to work with them

especially on that show you know he says he's just always himself and the show is so true and it goes places you never expect and i just love that script and too bad that chilled me i'll spare because it was still be there michael would have left benny because. you know when i look back over your filmography me some of the stuff is so beautiful and then there's other things i like cancer and you know listen you make a living at some point i look back a couple worst lardo daisy is an old man that he passed tell me about gordo today because you know habited that rather well i've got a great story about gordo cooper in fact and dad there's a documentary which i don't know of is out now called cooper's goat you know he gordo passed a few years back but when i got that part he was my favorite astronaut and

everybody in town wanted to be in that movie but it turned out he lived 3 miles from me here in l.a. set research part i was talking about you know fracking so i went over it i met him and we wound up becoming really good friends i turned me on do you know i got my pilot's license because of that film whatever but when he went that particular time he was the last man on earth to to go up alone in a spacecraft he flew alone any flew i think for over a period of couple of days now when he was up there he was a treasure hunter. and when he was going around the world this was not on his flight plan because you couldn't talk about those sanctions but he was looking out looking out the window there he could see the sunken ships of the spanish galleons he found his search and found

a spanish galleon that it sunk 400 years ago this was his plan when he went up there and it was kept secret for 23 you know 304040 years but the best give me goose flesh that's unbelievable that's like national treasure 3 or something what a great yeah it's what everyone. and you know he couldn't accept your because it was on the pretext because you know the astronauts there were going up there and you know i don't think it's still a national secret that you know they were actually checking out where all the russian missile bases might be are you know what was our submarines that would be on the water out there and. i did that pretext corded just started looking around for other thanks heaps he was quite resourceful kind of our response but they were all they were like francis gary powers just a higher altitude that i guess i'm the reds way back lead. we're talking films

we're talking music he's got a new podcast platform called denizens head over there i have to go to another film that makes me it makes me how because it has one of my favorite movie lines ever it's just 3 d. i think lou gossett in the command center there's just this shark breaks through this this underwater tunnel where people are walking it's munching on patrons losing the command center he's standing over a guy's shoulder they have that up light of a you know as halo effect on them and their looks he's like lie died because they read the customers and the kid at the monitor lugo's what's up when the kid goes sure to pull integrity has been compromised. i hope that's what it is that interest. i've learned how to live reform. the lack

of. a dentist when we when we said you're coming on we get a lot of social media questions mind if i ask just a couple direct answer me fans brandy thacker on facebook what's the hardest role you ever had to play for personal or professional reasons well what was a what was sturm and drang brother. wrote that bad be the killer because he sent me to i got sent to rehab. so i was pretty worn out after that they got to take a little bit of a bridge too far but it was fun well i'll tell you what people a lot of these questions people love the rookie matt what are your thoughts rw back on it more as for the den aside it's. just a couple of weeks back and here could bring story of what happened to jimmy he's got a piece got his book coming out here in fact that he wrote next month and we've stayed

are really great friends he was on the set every day and i didn't really throw a ball anywhere close to 98 miles an hour or probably even 80 miles an hour in fact i never even put myself out a radar gun so i would not be disappointed about that i want to keep my ego intact i just want to look like i could. be do it well you're pretty athletic if i had to guess your heater on the jugs god would have probably been this is he even a tie seventies maybe 80 i have no idea probably 9. imagine the nolan the speaker used to imagine ollie wright had come in and what oh for can you believe nobody ever doesn't get radical at that age to but. it was just a wonderful experience i got that one of the great things about it as i wrote i had 6 months to prepare for that too and i got to go out to dodger stadium every friday

in an empty stadium and pitch on the mound out there practice it was just what an experience you know to think of all the guys that santi co facts dot dryest alex way all the guys that been on that mountain it's really quite something please bring baseball back brother on the pragmatist and i sense you are 2 and pragmatists are kindred spirits from a far good to see a dentist take a market out to care i right it's dennis quaid to spin dennis miller plus one thanks. well here are the bullet points. for those of you at home keeping score. cities are on fire. 40000000 unemployed. in america. g.d.p.
