Hello, Chick McGee. Hello. We're gonna check in with Christy Lee. 1212.
- [03:52]
Danny Huston
Hello.
- [03:53]
Bob Kevoian
Christie's over there at the Silac Insurance news desk.
- [03:57]
Christy Lee
Okay. Singles tired of ghosting are now trying a new approach. It's called speed dumping. According to the Wall Street Journal.
- [04:05]
Bob Kevoian
Now, this is.
- [04:08]
Tom Griswold
Like on somebody's porch or.
- [04:10]
Christy Lee
Oh, come on, you guys.
- [04:13]
Bob Kevoian
When you dump someone, it doesn't have anything to do with the bathroom.
- [04:16]
Christy Lee
No, it involves a breakup text.
- [04:17]
Bob Kevoian
Right.
- [04:18]
Christy Lee
Oh, after a dud first date. But of course, Tom thinks speed dumping.
- [04:22]
Bob Kevoian
I mean the name speed dumping. I figure that's what we do here. It works. Just a couple minutes, but we got to get back in the air. We need to learn about speed.
- [04:31]
Christy Lee
We need to do about that story because that's the only reason he wanted to do it.
- [04:34]
Bob Kevoian
Was any more walking down that hallway, we're doomed.
- [04:37]
Christy Lee
A person informing the other party they're not interested in pursuing a relationship any further after a dud first date.
- [04:44]
Tom Griswold
It sounds to me like a very mature thing to do.
- [04:47]
Bob Kevoian
It is.
- [04:47]
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
- [04:48]
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. I don't do it.
- [04:49]
Tom Griswold
I'm glad that this is way better than ghosting.
- [04:51]
Christy Lee
Oh, I. I agree.
- [04:52]
Tom Griswold
Off the hook.
- [04:53]
Christy Lee
Let the prefer the honesty of a quick and polite earnings.
- [04:57]
Bob Kevoian
Although ghosting is so easy.
- [05:02]
Christy Lee
Ignoring is an easy way to get by in life, isn't it?
- [05:05]
Bob Kevoian
So you're still. This. This is for someone. You're on an Internet date and then after it's over, you write them a long letter saying why. Not necessarily an Internet.
- [05:13]
Christy Lee
No, you just go, hey, thanks for the coffee. I'm not interested in pursuing a relationship that would break.
- [05:18]
Tom Griswold
No, I don't think you have to do this until the person follows up. I think you're fine with not communicating until they say, hey, I'd love to go out again.
- [05:26]
Christy Lee
So if you okay.
- [05:27]
Bob Kevoian
If you go and meet someone for coffee.
- [05:28]
Tom Griswold
Yes.
- [05:29]
Bob Kevoian
And you don't contact them again.
- [05:31]
Announcer
Is that okay?
- [05:32]
Tom Griswold
And they don't contact me again.
- [05:34]
Bob Kevoian
Right.
- [05:34]
Tom Griswold
Yes.
- [05:34]
Christy Lee
But that's ghosting, isn't it?
- [05:36]
Tom Griswold
No, this would. That would be a mutual. Just not following up.
- [05:39]
Bob Kevoian
Okay.
- [05:40]
Tom Griswold
I'm with.
- [05:41]
Bob Kevoian
I think it sounds like a ghost.
- [05:42]
Tom Griswold
No, ghosting. She had. That person has to contact the other person for like, hey, hey, how are you? I sure had a great time. And then nothing.
- [05:50]
Danny Huston
Okay.
- [05:50]
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
- [05:50]
Bob Kevoian
All right.
- [05:51]
Christy Lee
That would be ghosting, rather than me saying, oh, I appreciate the coffee, but this is.
- [05:56]
Tom Griswold
Yeah. You know what? I didn't really. It didn't really. I don't feel like we had a connection, so.
- [06:00]
Christy Lee
Right, right.
- [06:01]
Bob Kevoian
I got told on a date that she didn't want to go out with me during the date.
- [06:05]
Announcer
Yeah.
- [06:06]
Bob Kevoian
I believe that. I don't want you here right now. How about that?
- [06:09]
Christy Lee
She told you during.
- [06:10]
Bob Kevoian
She said I was deceptive. She said that picture of me at the Eiffel Tower. I appear like I'm 30. And she says, you're obviously not 30. I said, that's my website, and that's my whole career. That. That is me at 30 at the Eiffel Tower. And you can see. You can see the Eiffel Tower being built. And it was 1830. Because I'm old. That's like. That's what gave it away.
- [06:33]
Christy Lee
You know what? I think I would have been upset.
- [06:35]
Bob Kevoian
Oh, we got. Wait, hey, we got. We have a Mr. Houston, I think. Danny.
- [06:41]
Danny Huston
Yes. Oh, hello. Good morning.
- [06:42]
Bob Kevoian
Hey, it's great talking to you. If I may, fanboy, for just a second. When I saw you in the TV series Magic City, I was terrified.
- [06:55]
Danny Huston
I'm delighted to hear that you were.
- [06:57]
Bob Kevoian
That was the scare. It's one of those things. I didn't know you. And I said, wait a second. Who is this guy? And I Googled him. Jesus. I am scared.
- [07:05]
Tom Griswold
I had a similar experience with Mr. Houston after I saw 30 Days of Night, where I believe you play Marlo, probably the most frightening vampire ever put to film, so.
- [07:18]
Danny Huston
Well, I'm very happy that I've scared both of you.
- [07:22]
Bob Kevoian
Enough compliments. Let's talk about the Naked Gun. First of all, all I have seen is the trailer, the previews, and it's hilarious. Tell us about what you're doing in the movie.
- [07:34]
Danny Huston
Well, I'm playing a villainous character of sorts. I guess I have a. A scar on my cheek that travels around my face from time to time. It's fitting into those archetypes. A couple of which you've already mentioned, but really servicing a wonderful, silly, rather stupid, but. But very sharply written comedy.
- [08:11]
Tom Griswold
Excellent.
- [08:12]
Danny Huston
Yeah.
- [08:13]
Bob Kevoian
How long did you work on it?
- [08:15]
Danny Huston
A couple of months. I mean, I, When I, When I read the script, I, you know, laughed out loud. Belly laughs. And, and I've worked with Liam Neeson before, and it didn't take. It took me literally seconds to agree to do it. And we shot over a couple of months in Atlanta.
- [08:34]
Bob Kevoian
And did they take the scar off every day and. Or did you have to leave it on?
- [08:40]
Danny Huston
I would take it home.
- [08:43]
Bob Kevoian
Have you ever had to get a really bad haircut for a role and you were kind of embarrassed to go out to dinner?
- [08:49]
Danny Huston
No, but, you know, I have had these hair extensions sort of clipped into my hair and, you know, they, they have a. A tendency of falling out, which can be rather terrifying first thing in the morning when you're, when you, when you see, you know, a mound of hair on the pillow next to you and you're like, what?
- [09:13]
Bob Kevoian
Now, I know that you spent a lot of your time in Europe. Are you good at sort of altering your accent? Can you go back to your boyhood accent really easily?
- [09:26]
Danny Huston
You know, I spent a lot of time growing. I've been all over the world all my life, so I can A little. Yeah. I mean, it requires a little work, but I can sort of fall into different. Different accents. I kind of have to choose what accent I'm going to use usually when I start a film, because I've got a really weird sort of hybrid, odd accent personally myself.
- [09:52]
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Is this the Danny Houston real voice we're getting? The real accent, or are you putting. Putting this on?
- [09:59]
Danny Huston
Who is Danny Houston? No, currently I'm not putting it on. It's too early in the morning.
- [10:07]
Tom Griswold
Danny. We've always heard that when you're filming a comedy like the Naked Gun, that it's actually kind of a serious set because you want to get all the jokes right, you want to hit the timing correctly, and that when you do a serious movie, there's actually a lot more levity when, when somebody yells cut. Did you find that to be the case, making the Naked Gun?
- [10:29]
Danny Huston
Well, the, A lot of the delivery has to be sort of straight and, and, you know, the characters. My character, Liam's character, certainly, we don't really know we're in a comedy.
- [10:41]
Tom Griswold
Yes.
- [10:42]
Danny Huston
So it's got, it's got to be sort of serious delivery, and the challenging part is not cracking up and falling into giggles. So Liam and I, we have basically an agreement that we'd look at each other's foreheads if things got a little too close, was cracking up. And we're friends. So it's kind of like, in a way, you have to sort of, you know, like a teacher would have to sort of separate you, that sort of thing. So it can become quite challenging, especially when you're trying to be serious.
- [11:19]
Bob Kevoian
We're speaking with the very fine actor Danny Houston, and we've mentioned a couple films that we've seen. You have a rather extensive set of movies you've been in and TV shows, etc. Etc. What type of role is they? Do they look for the most from you? Do you get kind of typecast because you. Because you're such a kind of scary guy?
- [11:41]
Danny Huston
I think they. Yes. I think the villainous roles are the ones that usually people gravitate, but I love them, you know, they're characters that you can really chew on. And you mentioned Magic City, Ben Diamond. He was a lot of fun. It's great to play into that. I remember there was one scene in Magic City where I shoot a dog because it's barking and I'm on the phone and people just were so horrified by that. But there's also a joy in kind of doing stuff, which is a little bit maybe pushing the envelope a touch, you know.
- [12:29]
Bob Kevoian
Now, do you still have to audition for stuff or when you've had a lengthy career such as yours, do they just call you and say, hey, do you want to do it?
- [12:38]
Danny Huston
Well, thank God. I don't need. I don't need to audition. I think if I would, I would get the job.
- [12:44]
Bob Kevoian
Because I was talking to another actor friend of mine and he still auditions all the time and it's usually done by his wife. She'll take her iPhone. Yeah. You know, there was a time when I guess you'd walk into some building and there'd be 20 guys that look just like you and you'd all be trying the same thing. Now, it's kind of a little home movie trick, but you're obviously beyond that so you don't have to suffer through that.
- [13:07]
Danny Huston
Yeah, no, I'm. Thank God I'm beyond that. And that could be tricky in a relationship to have your wife film your auditions.
- [13:20]
Bob Kevoian
I could hear a woman going, this is not supposed to be a nude scene. Cut that out. We're speaking with the very fine actor Danny Houston, who scared the hell out of me a few years ago on Magic City. He's been a tons of stuff since. You've been all over the world here's a quick question. If you could take a summer vacation right now, where would you go?
- [13:41]
Danny Huston
Oh, wow. You know, I love. I love being. I love being at home. That's because I travel so much. I just love. I love being at home. But one of my favorite places in the world is Italy and the Amalfi coast. Mediterranean. The food, the temperature and, you know, the beauty is just. It's just one of them, you know, that's. That's really where I would go. Yeah. Italy. Italy. The spaghetti and the food and the. Oh, yeah.
- [14:12]
Bob Kevoian
I know this seems off topic. I'm just trying to figure out a place to go on my next summer vacation because I get. I can't go to the beach. I fry. I guess I shouldn't be asking Mr. Houston questions about traveling in my life.
- [14:24]
Tom Griswold
Danny, you're such a great presence on screen. Have you ever done any stage acting?
- [14:30]
Danny Huston
I've done. I've done a little stage acting in London. In England, the kid stays in the picture at the Royal Court in London. I enjoy it, but there is something that I find which is quite repetitious about it. And if you have two shows in one day, you really do feel a little bit like you're a. A drunk telling the same story twice.
- [15:00]
Bob Kevoian
Are you. Are you pretty good at memorizing your lines?
- [15:04]
Danny Huston
I'm pretty. I have to work hard at it. But. But I like to. I like to have it all down so I don't panic. It's important to me. So there's a lot of that is preparation and repetition.
- [15:17]
Bob Kevoian
Okay, one. One last question. You got to go here. If you're sort of going through the channels, bored one night and you landed on one of your movies. Not to suggest you wouldn't watch all of them, but is there one you'd always go, wait a minute, I want to see this one again?
- [15:34]
Danny Huston
You know, I think right now. Right now would be. It would be the Naked Gun. It's just, you know, with all the. With all the horrors around the world and everything that's going on, just to have that sort of moment of levity and. And also to see it with other people because there's this, you know, it's where the laughter is contagious. Contagious in the best. In the best way. And it's a tonic and it lifts our spirit and. And that's a lot about what entertainment is about, isn't it? Yeah. To share that experience together here, here. So, yeah, if I was with a group of people, I would choose the Naked Gun.
- [16:17]
Tom Griswold
Excellent. We can't wait to see it.
- [16:18]
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, I'm really psyched about it. I was really nervous about Speaking to you, Mr. Houston, because of that. You just scared the hell out of me. Thanks for taking the time to remember the old days of radio. We really appreciate it. And I can't wait to see the movie.
- [16:35]
Danny Huston
Oh, I can't wait for you to see it. It was good talking to you, and I hope to scare you again in the future.
- [16:42]
Bob Kevoian
Thank you. I think maybe a sitcom dad who's also a. A murdering torturer. That'd be great. Thank you, sir.
- [16:52]
Danny Huston
Thank you.
- [16:53]
Bob Kevoian
Wow, that was great.
- [16:54]
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And he's just a terrific actor.
- [16:56]
Bob Kevoian
No. Unbelievable.
- [16:58]
Tom Griswold
One of those guys, when he's on screen, your eye just love it.
- [17:00]
Bob Kevoian
Just.
- [17:01]
Tom Griswold
It's one of those.
- [17:01]
Bob Kevoian
You're watching it and you go, wait a second. And you take your phone out and go, who is this guy?
- [17:06]
Christy Lee
And you go, oh, my gosh, he's been in this, this, this, and this.
- [17:09]
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, the Aviator. And sometimes you get really surprised. Wow. Last that happened to me a couple years ago, I said, who is this actress? And it turns out it was a friend of mine's daughter.
- [17:21]
Christy Lee
Of course it was.
- [17:22]
Bob Kevoian
No, she's great. She's in. What's the Ozark? Julia Garner. Ozark. Yeah, Ozark. She's great. In any event, Danny Houston appearing in the Naked Gun. And I can't wait. It looks great. If you've seen the trailer with the. There's a great.
- [17:37]
Christy Lee
Anderson and Liam Neeson are now a new couple.
- [17:39]
Bob Kevoian
And the OJ Joke.
- [17:40]
Christy Lee
That's the rumor.
- [17:41]
Bob Kevoian
Really?
- [17:42]
Danny Huston
Yeah.
- [17:43]
Bob Kevoian
Oh, oh, that's. In real life.
- [17:44]
Christy Lee
That's a rumor. There's inklings.
- [17:48]
Bob Kevoian
Good luck to both. Good luck to both of them right now. I want to say good luck to you in the future. Okay, thanks. We appreciate that.
- [17:57]
Danny Huston
Yeah.
- [17:57]
Tom Griswold
Well, I think. How sweet of you.
- [17:58]
Bob Kevoian
I think. Be coming up in the next. Yeah. Well, I think it's important for you all to know that you do work for me, and when it's time to retire, the money's over, kids. Please don't retire. That's how he looks at it. You work for me, not with me. Well, technically, you work with me. No, no, no, no, no. Set up the. The horses out of the bar. I actually have to work. I have to work with you. No, no. Yeah, you don't have to. You certainly don't have to. That's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra. Catch us on itunes, Google play and stitcher for Bob and Tom.
