Know all his films what charms to my far from havent 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 its true hes still with us you know he had a stroke a year ago. And hasnt been able to play sense but i do believe in hillard i do think hes coming back i really do essent down the piano i heard after a couple of months ago and. Hes coming back my rig gal 75 now im 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 its 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 Streisands crazy and he walked down the aisle robert klein and you know somebody somebody nobody nobody even somebody. Id 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 dont really have to talk to anybody yours moves or whatever i just like to bury myself or whatever im reading or whatever and. That was it possible on those celebrity airlines. Well listen its going to be different now because not your im wondering if the mask drops down when the plane decompresses you have to put it over the other man. Its a bit its a whole new world my friend where you were you hold up for you and euston and now im here in l. A. I now pass it over amanda plan and somewhere where you im up in Santa Barbara california and i must say im not exactly the most for gary is sort so ive had worse ive had worse things in my life than the isolation but even i who is a bit of a like social recalcitrant even im starting to log just to be out here people in the back that that you know well hang up against humanity im missing it yeah really being an actor you know we were sort of trained for this you know were 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 im not even from texas i cant imagine i cant imagine how that will muster resonated with you. Yeah well that was my brothers very 1st movie and he nonnet 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 whats up doc his next film and randy wound up living out there in l. A. And. You know. I literally did follow my brothers footsteps but because it made it real you must say hi to him one of the loveliest cats ive 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 shes 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. Its one of the most surreal nights of my life so hard ill tell you lots of times where were 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 gods 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 its being the flagship i guess the 1st out there but were also doing things like we have an audio artur where its kind of like scripts from a drawer that i have a script on spade cooley Billy Bob Thorntons got a script for it collins who was biggest story between what are one and what were 2 and were 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 theres 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 its funny how like the old ideas keep coming around theyre 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 hes not country western hes gulf and western. Is to spread his. Fictional songs like biggest dock on the lake and its a sterile its just its all about getting hammered and its. It thats it its 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 theyve got a theory all ideas you guys sound like youve got the youve 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 fools 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 theyre hungry for ready something to entertain themselves with. I know im for racist men and this sounds right up my alley because ken burns just lit my fuse i dont 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 its so good and. Rugged thats in a way that really helped us with baird a banjo its its 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 thered 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 were 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 its time im 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 cant think of really rather that it will do that than elton but it was great were talking to dennis quaid hes got a podcast the denizens and you hear so its an entirely well conceived platt lorax hit i cant wait to see some of that as well what are you going to do on your particular show now that its 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 thats 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. Ive 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 im 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 dont get on a usual interview. Well listen theres ride in the back seat of a cop car to flush and theres having to be. Laughing with the guy to flesh it out but theres a bunch of different ways to get under somebodys skin but thats where the best craft comes from after the break were 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 its 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.
