How did Dan Aykroyd first meet David Spade?
Love Danny Aykroyd. First met him at SNL when I was, he came by the office. When those old guys would come by the office, meaning the earlier cast, he was probably 35. Anyway, he comes by the office. All right, sir. Fair enough, sir. He would come in and chat with everyone.
Very good, sir.
That's kind of what he does, Tom Schneider.
Yeah. For those who maybe missed this when we had him on, it's worth a listen. There's something about him that is so interesting. And he's got such a wide range of things he's interested in, too, as well as comedy and performing and movies. But it's a fun little listen.
Yeah, he's not rotting on his couch all day.
What interesting projects has Dan Aykroyd worked on?
He's like... Looking for UFOs. He has that Crystal Head Vodka company. He's into everything.
Poltergeist. All this supernatural stuff.
Which got us Ghostbusters, which was a happy accident there. It did pretty well. Unbelievable. I think one of the Ghostbusters was going to be Eddie Murphy. I think one was going to be Belushi. And I didn't work. I think Eddie Murphy says that's the only movie he regrets not doing.
I regret that they never made the sequel to Ghostbusters in a Western thing called Bronco and Buster's Ghostbusters.
Yeah, there was some talk about that.
Yeah, that would have been great. But anyway, here is the one and only my hero, one of the best of all time on Saturday Night Live, Dan Aykroyd.
I saw Chris two days ago and he stayed at the Chateau. I love Chris. He must love you. He came over and gave me a hug. I said I was seeing you guys and he was, yeah. He should have been more excited about you seeing us, but that's okay.
It's great when you meet someone who hasn't become a superstar yet.
Chris?
Yeah, and if you treat them normal, they never forget it. If you're just reasonably respectful.
He's pretty much of a superstar, though.
Oh, yeah. And just, boy, from what I can gather, hasn't changed a bit.
How did Ghostbusters come to be created?
This looks like a congressional inquiry.
You are.
Let me answer some questions. We're sitting on a table like I see in Oppenheimer.
The podcast is actually called The Hot Seat. It's a surprise. And you are. And we welcome Dan Aykroyd to The Hot Seat.
Heather, help me with that. Do you know how to do that? I'll do the side thing. And will you bring a bottle? Crystal Head Vodka, is that the one?
Do you have plain? Do you have any fresh squeezed orange juice in the house?
What are Dan Aykroyd's experiences with UFOs?
I assume so. Did you ever win an award?
Do you have any juice at all? You know what we might have? It's not juice. We might have lemon seltzer. Is that nothing?
You don't have a juice like a hibiscus or cranberry. Hibiscus? That's all right. Put some ice in there. Yeah, I will. I'm just... No, no, no, no, no. Don't worry about that, no. But it's just, to sample it, it pops it better if it's cold. Oh, if it's cold. I'll put some ice in there. Yeah, put some ice in there. I'll try some. I'm going to have, yeah. And please let me know when we're rolling so that I'll do all the politically incorrect stuff now. We're always rolling. We don't have to use it, but we're rolling.
But you always have editing capability. We will send you the raw tape.
The conversation begins then. Okay.
Okay.
Well, what you're doing there is you're pouring the mash. Okay, go ahead.
How does Dan Aykroyd feel about his career in comedy?
Have you won awards for this vodka?
Do you do a formal introduction or do we just- No, we do have Dan Aykroyd who's- I start everyone as Joe Biden.
Get your facts straight, Jack. That's it.
Yeah. And then there was the other president you did so well and so beautifully. Gotta do it. Yeah. You know, that was the way that eventually, yeah. And it was a slur. You know, it's a Washington. It became not going to do it, became not going to do it. And in Washington now, there's a slur that is commonly used, commonly for a word that is frequently employed in the trade. Sir, sir, sir. It's senator. Senator becomes sir. Sir. It's Sewell. Sewell. Remember Sewell? Yeah. Catan. How genius was that guy? Sewell. Do you remember Sewell? No. Chris Kattan.
Chris Kattan.
He did Sewell. I'm talking now.
What insights does Dan Aykroyd share about his vodka brand?
I'm going to tell you. Sewell, the slur.
Yeah. People slur all the time.
Yeah. Well, a little bit now.
