  We got a question for our American mama. Dear mama, have you heard
• 0:03
  Dennis Quaid is now making gospel music. Well, let's ask our American mama.
• 0:09
  Mama, Mama, and joining us now our American mama, Terry Netterville.
• 0:24
  Are you a big fan of Dennis Quaid? I have loved some of
• 0:28
  his recent movies. Yeah, I did. I mean he was in a
• 0:31
  Bonnie Rate I don't if I'll remember this back in the eighties, late no
• 0:35
  early ninetieses and Bonnie Rates video. Huh do you remember that? Everyone thought
• 0:41
  it was like, give me something to talk about a song. That's because
• 0:44
  he was in a movie called give Him Something to talk About. That was
• 0:47
  a movie that was going on, and so that based off of the song
• 0:51
  Bondy Rates song. So yeah, that that I do remember that. He
• 0:55
  was also in The Fisher King with Robin Williams, one of the best films
• 0:59
  of all. Check it out. The Fisher King is if you want to
• 1:02
  see a command performance by Robin Williams. Honestly, some real best work,
• 1:07
  some of the best things Robin Williams ever. It will make it will it
• 1:11
  will make you cry. That film so good, and of course the Fabulous
• 1:15
  Baker Boys. He's sang in the Fabulous Baker Boys with his brother. But
• 1:18
  he's also got a new gospel album out. Take a listen sound let's see
• 1:29
  rich now. So what do you think when you first heard that he had
• 1:45
  a gospel album, because that's not what you normally think of with him.
• 1:48
  No, but I wasn't surprised because in the last few years you've seen that
• 1:51
  he kind of goes towards more of the Christian movies. Find him in a
• 1:56
  lot of the Christian movies. I saw him on Meg and Kelly's podcast.
• 2:01
  Okay. It was so fascinating because he's very transparent. He's very open about
• 2:06
  his drug addiction back in the eighties and the nineties, and he said everybody
• 2:08
  was doing it. And he talks about that time is feeling lost. He's
• 2:12
  you know, married four times, and he said that during that time with
• 2:15
  Meg Ryan, you know, she was clueless. He was on everything and
• 2:20
  she had no clue. So he had to tell her, look, I'm
• 2:22
  I need to go to rehab. He checked himself into rehab because he had
• 2:23
  a white light moment and so the white light moment, yeah, he almost
• 2:29
  died. Yeah, he said he came home. It was after his band
• 2:31
  broke up and he came home and he had that moment, a white light
• 2:35
  moment where he could see himself going in this direction to Hell or this direction.
• 2:38
  It scared him to death. And he said he had the foundation because
• 2:40
  he was raised Christian. And so then he met fourth wife, Laura.
• 2:46
  I don't know, but anyway, he met this fourth He said, she's
• 2:50
  forty years younger than him. He probably doesn't remember her name. He probably
• 2:53
  doesn't, and he jokes about that too, jokes about the difference in their
• 2:58
  age. But he said that God has always been the center, like she's.
• 3:01
  They pray together, and he said that when that, when you have
• 3:07
  that God is a center of your relationship, he's like, is a whole
• 3:12
  different level of love and commitment with each other. And so I, you
• 3:16
  know, I'm fascinated when I'm listening to him. And then he said this,
• 3:21
  and I thought this was so interesting. He said, like we all
• 3:23
  do. He said, I My faith has always been there, but the
• 3:27
  switch was turned off, he said, I did. He said, I
• 3:30
  tried to do everything on my own. I tried to be the one to
• 3:32
  navigate and trust my own self. How many times I kind of liken this
• 3:38
  to whenever. Like, let's say that God is the pilot of our lives,
• 3:43
  and let's say we're the flight attendant and we're going around. We're telling
• 3:46
  everybody else. We're saying, here, here's here, take the juice,
• 3:50
  is the blood of Christ. Here take the take the away for and we're
• 3:53
  like, try, Hey, the pilot knows where we're going. Don't you
• 3:54
  worry about it. You're telling everybody else, Hey, trust God, just
• 3:59
  lean on him. It's gonna be fine. We're gonna have a great ride.
• 4:00
  We're gonna get to the destination. But yet we stick our head in
• 4:03
  the cockpit going, hey, I don't think you're going in the right direction
• 4:05
  like that. This isn't exactly I think. I feel turbulence. I don't
• 4:09
  think this is how we're supposed to go because we tell everybody else. And
• 4:12
  that's what he was doing. He was telling everybody else, you know,
• 4:15
  yeah, but he himself were like he was trying to do it himself.
• 4:17
  And then what happens is what happened to him. You crash and burn,
• 4:21
  You find yourself in the wilderness, and you nothing makes sense to you anymore.
• 4:28
  And so what does God do you've heard me say this before. God
• 4:30
  puts people in your in front of you, along your path and give a
• 4:33
  tangible sense of his presence so that he leads you back to Him through others
• 4:40
  that He has sent your way, And that is what happened to him.
• 4:43
  And now he's like given all the glory to God, every bit of it,
• 4:46
  the good, the bad. So I'm not surprised that he is doing
• 4:48
  this album. I don't know how well it's gonna do, but I do
• 4:53
  love the fact that he is unabashedly unafraid to preach the word, to talk
• 4:59
  about his own faith, to give God all the glory, and to talk
• 5:01
  about the dynamics with him and his wife, and you know, Megan Kelly
• 5:06
  was making fun of the forty year gap, and I love that he had
• 5:10
  a sense of humor too. And she asked a question that I was so
• 5:12
  curious about too. She's like, what was it like meeting her parents?
• 5:16
  Like what did they? And he laughed, he goes, yeah, I
• 5:18
  was kind of you know, I was kind of uncomfortable at first, but
• 5:23
  he said, but they saw what we had with each other. Yeah,
• 5:27
  and they knew that clearly they were putting God in the center of the relationship,
• 5:30
  and that's that's really what you want. A minute, wait, wait
• 5:33
  a minute, what's the age gap here? Forty? Oh? Come ony
• 5:39
  on his third wife, she was cynical here, I'm just come on,
• 5:43
  I know, but she came in when he needed. I mean, it
• 5:47
  wasn't like he had well maybe he had millions, but he was a down
• 5:50
  and out, strong out you know, according to some has been you know,
• 5:56
  he wasn't really doing a lot of the movies. Who knows. But
• 5:59
  they have been together for a while now, and if he's finding faith again
• 6:02
  through that, I think that's a good thing. Yeah. By the way,
• 6:04
  first of all, the album is available on iTunes. You can look
• 6:08
  up Dennis Quaid's album on iTunes. You can get it there. I need
• 6:12
  to make a correction. I said he was in Fisher King's No, that
• 6:14
  was Jeff Bridges, not Dennis. But it's still an excellent movie to watch,
• 6:17
  The Fisher King with Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges. But Dennis Quaid.
• 6:20
  It's great. And I listened to some of the album and really it's it's
• 6:25
  very listenable. It's very listen it's good stuff. It's it's that is that
