know all his films what charms to my far from haven't loved that film recently starred in a 3rd season of amazon prime series goliath alongside the great billy bob thornton and then it says a new podcast out called the dennis sauce odd case name available to stream wherever you get your podcast dennis quaid how are you my friend excellent this is a true dinner saturday being with you. surrender and melt you know it is a 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 a 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 hillard 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 my rig gal 75 now i'm telling you the way that that was when i 1st i think i met you in 80 must been the late eighties 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 lead they called him jim grant it was like an all 1st class airline and i are robert klein the comedian got on and he came down the center aisle and he would point of people is like bridge your gear barbra streisand's crazy and he walked down the aisle robert klein and you know 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 are like you have 63 feet syria and then you get 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 yours moves 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 friend where you were you hold up for you and euston and now

i'm here in l.a. i now pass it over amanda plan and somewhere where you i'm up in santa barbara california and i must say i'm not exactly the most for gary is 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 bits and i'm not even from texas i can't imagine i can't imagine how that will 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 that i did he yes and al with him and we used to yell i delighted in his company he made me laugh he was so perceptive and you know sometimes randy

would sneak up on 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 to such a sweet well that. i will it will 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. it's one of the most surreal nights of my life so hard i'll tell you lots of times where 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 in 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 a 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 old 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 its plan 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 to spread his. fictional 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's it it's going to be softened and we have another one. 0 which is another true fiction of a 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 are at home and they're hungry for ready 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 feel 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 it 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 write that each zog lead the next but that whole bible is beautiful for me i can't think of 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 have come out tennis as 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 the den of socks 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 ideas 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 flush and there's having to be. laughing with the guy to flesh it out but 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 we're going to talk to dennis about goliath i want

to talk to him more by music because his god is accomplished as he is with acting i can tell it's solos to be story in an odd way when he talks about music he lights up or visit with that many other subjects right up to the break. is the united states hell bent on self-destruction again demi a dramatic economic turndown and now massive civil unrest all pointed thank goodness to the point of also targeting hong kong watching the pool for species play book indeed. according to several sources felice in the united states kills from 2 to 4 people simply day my. head his hand. sanitizer when.

one of my being arrested for clear is fun for me and. it's just their little world just as they developed just us against them in. a long piece or 2525 as. i read this from someone all you know. there is a corruption inside of police and i think. welcome back to dennis miller plus one we're joined by one the same news ition actor is he must hear actor musician a lot but then i can tell it's in your blood brother what the floor randy bums in

the donovan. 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 you know i'm home in the afternoon and randy would have a door locked and he be in there or like with a tape recorder practicing is a 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. this one right here got what i was like i actually got this guitar the very night of the elvis special nor the television special in 68 yeah the one where is in the small octagon are the small yeah that's right yeah we're on the other everything else that's in from that night but i be practicing that and. you know 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 i've played with and been around you know quite a number of people that i allies to as a kid and. you don't so it's never too late i'm going to be the oldest got to make it a rock n roll what are you now finally going to make it. all i know is when i go back and look at that special i actually was doing some t.v. once and a producer he said to me hey i'm elkan leo i said wait a 2nd because that special is important that's it that's not a high watermark it said malcolm leo the elephant specifically said yeah trust me i'm proud but i was along for the ride you couldn't watch that guy's characterization 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 get not the spaceship and dating are stood still because the cat is of us that are 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 get the killer was and he was it was over my over my back shoulder of the entire time we were doing the movie set you know you're getting a rock that. it was was a 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 what real rock and roll is all about but did. 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 goes weird mad to get that famous that quick the world's your oyster shuckers and you dig loyce tradesman i don't know i guess showing through for a while right now you don't. do you don't know about the but those oysters you know . nobody teaches you how to be a success 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 i'm handling it you know really well but i did dan'l it so well and you know i want to pick okayed rehab of course you know 8090 and

likely got it got it got it right the 1st time and. 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 cite a golf tournament once i finish last up in like tal and you with charles barkley and you're hitting the ball nice i look like your play and go up high single digit and i remember i mean well when that static we were both talking body else. we're having i remember thinking off i. when you got healthy though you know that healthy bad you know you were you know you looked like. you you looked like doug sanders in your band lot i thought this guy doesn't have a guy that i'm so when you drop blow and got healthy it seems like you attacked health of the same degree of vigor my fret. 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 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 arms in a. yeah that in fact the very day i got out of rehab i started playing 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 juice i find you to authentic and kept the faith in like i know it that well but tell me

like life 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 i really don't have a lot of actor friends to tell you the truth because you are 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 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 and sewer and you know listen you make a living at some point i look back at google where is your no daisy it is an old man that he passed tell me about gordo today because you know habited the brother well i've got a great story about gordo cooper in fact and 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 partner was talking about you know fracking so i went over to met him and we wound up becoming really good friends i turned me on to you know i got my pilot's license because of that film or 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 and he 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. for that best give me goose flesh that's unbelievable that's like national treasure 3 or something what a great yeah it's it what it really works. and you know he couldn't accept your

because it was on the pretext because you know the astronauts that 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 and they were all they were like francis gary powers just in 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 dennison's 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 a 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. up iraq that's what it is that interests. 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 and what was sturm and drang really. well 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 well i tell you what people a lot of these questions people love the rookie math what are your thoughts route back on it more is for the den a sign 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 really great friends he was on the set every day and i didn't really throw a ball of it 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 oath for can you believe nobody ever doesn't get radical at that age to but it was it was just a wonderful experience i got that one of the great things about it as i write i had 16 months to prepare for that too and i got to go out to dodger stadium every friday in an empty stadium. pitch on the mountain out their practice of us just what an experience you know to think of all the guys at sandy colfax starved right alex way all the guys at that on that mound it was really quite something please bring baseball back brother on the pragmatist and i sense you are to an pragmatists or kindred spirits from a far good to see a dentist take care martin i'll take care. that's dennis quaid the spin dennis
