  • - yeah, she just goes everywhere with me.
  • 00:05:25.114 --> 00:05:27.350
  • - well, gloria and i have a dog also.
  • 00:05:27.350 --> 00:05:30.353
  • The first 25 years of our marriage,
  • 00:05:30.353 --> 00:05:32.121
  • We had collies, all big dogs.
  • 00:05:32.121 --> 00:05:35.425
  • And so the last 25 years, we've been traveling,
  • 00:05:35.425 --> 00:05:38.294
  • And we haven't had a dog.
  • 00:05:38.294 --> 00:05:40.062
  • But during the pandemic, we said,
  • 00:05:40.062 --> 00:05:43.032
  • "let's get a dog."
  • 00:05:43.032 --> 00:05:44.500
  • And so we got this cavalier king charles.
  • 00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:48.771
  • Dennis: mm-hmm.
  • 00:05:48.771 --> 00:05:50.006
  • Oh, those are great. bill: yeah.
  • 00:05:50.006 --> 00:05:51.874
  • Dennis: we had one of those in "a dog's journey"...
  • 00:05:51.874 --> 00:05:54.076
  • Bill: yeah. dennis: in fact.
  • 00:05:54.076 --> 00:05:55.244
  • Yeah, they're fantastic.
  • 00:05:55.244 --> 00:05:56.479
  • They're really, really smart.
  • 00:05:56.479 --> 00:05:58.648
  • - they're very smart.
  • 00:05:58.648 --> 00:05:59.782
  • And, my lands, they're--
  • 00:05:59.782 --> 00:06:03.719
  • You know, the kindness,
  • 00:06:03.719 --> 00:06:06.489
  • The grace that they show... - mm.
  • 00:06:06.489 --> 00:06:08.891
  • - the understanding,
  • 00:06:08.891 --> 00:06:10.159
  • And they're so loyal, you know what i mean?
  • 00:06:10.159 --> 00:06:12.595
  • I mean, it's amazing.
  • 00:06:12.595 --> 00:06:13.729
  • You step on their toe, they may yelp.
  • 00:06:13.729 --> 00:06:16.466
  • But they'll quickly say,
  • 00:06:16.466 --> 00:06:18.201
  • "you didn't mean to do that, did you?"
  • 00:06:18.201 --> 00:06:20.303
  • Wouldn't it be great if the whole human race
  • 00:06:20.303 --> 00:06:22.171
  • Was like that? - yeah, that's--
  • 00:06:22.171 --> 00:06:23.539
  • We could all learn that lesson.
  • 00:06:23.539 --> 00:06:24.941
  • I think we've been learning lesson--
  • 00:06:24.941 --> 00:06:26.309
  • You know, they're our oldest-- man's oldest friend.
  • 00:06:26.309 --> 00:06:29.579
  • I think it's, like, somewhere around 75,000 years
  • 00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:33.449
  • We've been--had dogs around.
  • 00:06:33.449 --> 00:06:36.085
  • And i think they taught us a lot of things.
  • 00:06:36.085 --> 00:06:38.621
  • But peaches is right up there.
  • 00:06:38.621 --> 00:06:41.324
  • Maybe the best dog i ever had.
  • 00:06:41.324 --> 00:06:42.859
  • - well, for all of you dog lovers,
  • 00:06:42.859 --> 00:06:44.894
  • And we know there's a bunch of them out there,
  • 00:06:44.894 --> 00:06:48.764
  • This even makes you more special to all of us.
  • 00:06:48.764 --> 00:06:51.234
  • [laughter]
  • 00:06:51.234 --> 00:06:52.368
  • When i saw you come in with your dog,
  • 00:06:52.368 --> 00:06:53.903
  • I said, "this is my kind of a guy."
  • 00:06:53.903 --> 00:06:56.205
  • Because we bring windsor in here all the time.
  • 00:06:56.205 --> 00:06:58.708
  • - yeah.
  • 00:06:58.708 --> 00:07:00.009
  • They just make you feel at home, right?
  • 00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:01.244
  • They just make you feel like
  • 00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:03.913
  • Nothing's really that big of a deal anymore.
  • 00:07:03.913 --> 00:07:07.049
  • The way to get through big deals
  • 00:07:07.049 --> 00:07:08.584
  • Is to not make it such a big deal.
  • 00:07:08.584 --> 00:07:10.653
  • And she helps out with that.
  • 00:07:10.653 --> 00:07:12.555
  • - it's been a great thing for our marriage
  • 00:07:12.555 --> 00:07:14.223
  • Because on a given day when gloria and i
  • 00:07:14.223 --> 00:07:16.025
  • Don't like each other, we like the dog.
  • 00:07:16.025 --> 00:07:17.627
  • - yeah. - [laughs]
  • 00:07:17.627 --> 00:07:20.162
  • - yeah, that's true.
  • 00:07:20.162 --> 00:07:22.064
  • - and anytime we think about dennis quaid,
  • 00:07:22.064 --> 00:07:24.500
  • We obviously think about the acting part.
  • 00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:28.538
  • But for those who are tuning in for the first time today,
  • 00:07:28.538 --> 00:07:32.675
  • You had another love as a kid, right,
  • 00:07:32.675 --> 00:07:34.844
  • Growing up there in houston?
  • 00:07:34.844 --> 00:07:35.912
  • - yeah, i grew up in houston
  • 00:07:35.912 --> 00:07:38.781
  • Till i was 20, and i spent--
  • 00:07:38.781 --> 00:07:41.551
  • My summers, i'd spend in east texas,
  • 00:07:41.551 --> 00:07:45.021
  • My grandfather's place mostly.
  • 00:07:45.021 --> 00:07:47.256
  • And he was the one that bought me my first guitar at 12.
  • 00:07:47.256 --> 00:07:50.526
  • - so was the music your first love
  • 00:07:50.526 --> 00:07:52.428
  • Or acting your first love?
  • 00:07:52.428 --> 00:07:53.729

  • - yeah. - you know, i discovered--
  • 00:07:55.231 --> 00:07:58.034

  • You know, i was born in '54. he came out in '55.
  • 00:08:00.803 --> 00:08:04.073

  • - i was, you know, playing music with my friends.
  • 00:08:17.453 --> 00:08:19.355
  • We'd play, you know, around in the living rooms
  • 00:08:19.355 --> 00:08:21.724
  • And stuff like that.
  • 00:08:21.724 --> 00:08:24.727

  • 00:13:44.813 --> 00:13:46.949
