Mike Rowe: Getting All the Stuff Right with Dennis Quaid | The Way I Heard It 

He was my first president that I voted for. So proud to be able to vote from him😊

Wow!!! What an incredible story and an amazing memory for you to have!! He was my FAVORITE President of my young life.

Great memories. Thanks 🙏 for telling. I saw him at the North Texas food bank in south Dallas. Red Bird industrial area. It was noon, on South Cockrell Hill rd. I lived in Cockrell Hill about 6 miles north towards Dallas. I hardly ever went to lunch, that day we had no idea he was here. Heading to Burger King with my best still machinist buddy. We stopped, hardly anyone was there. I yelled out, welcome 🙏 to Dallas Mr. PRESIDENT Ronald…… he turned around, to my amazement !!! He said everyone LOVES Texas !!! He was the absolute best person ever !! Humble and kind !! Tough but smart. He has the bruises to show. I remember the secret service was everywhere. Y’all do know what Dallas do to president’s. I was 6 miles away in second grade L.O. Donald elementary school. I have no memory about that weird awful day. I remember the funeral on our black and white tv. God BLESS ALL our great President’s. You honor the office…. Not the man or woman !! See… I’m not sexist !! lol. I’m a 1955 Gladewater Tx. Lake O’ the Pines baby boomer !! God Blessed our terrific UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 !! Thanks 🙏

You're lucky, what a guy (RR), what a story!

I was a kid in the 80s and it was the only decade I’ve lived where things felt so wholesome and good. That there was a clear line between good guys and bad guys, I felt, and we were the good guys. Reagan was a big part of how proud I was. He was a good man, funny, very personable, and somebody I really looked up to as a leader. What a wonderful man he was, I really miss that 80s feeling.

I met someone at a party and she was being extra nice to me and I wasn't sure why, then she offered me some cocaine, then it all became clear. She was a pusher! Did need the coke for clarity, thank goodness.

Get over youtself

My grandmother after a very difficult time during the depression, they finally had enough money to buy a refrigerator. It was a GE Delux. That was 1940. My grandmother took care of the frig until the mid 90's and could not live in the house alone anymore. I got the frig and we still use it daily. It's a backup, but I am in it several times a day. The frig has never had any service, we just defrost it and clean it once a month or so and now it's 84 years old. It's amazing. Buy American.

@@russoase9704 Good story, thanks for sharing that 😉

I saw a Reagan biopic and they gave his speeches at GE facilities much credit for his presidency. By meeting and talking with working folks like your dad all across the country he learned what they cared about and how to reach them. They said he honed what would become his presidential stump speeches during that time becoming The Great Communicator.

I just feel bad for you

@@KansasColoradoFarmer I feel bad for you too

One of my favorite books is about a man who dreams that he goes to visit Heaven, and every room has pictures of the people whose lives were touched, made better by the person now in heaven. I know Ronald Reagan's walls are completely covered after reading these comments. Thank you.

Cruelty to animals is part of being a real man? I don’t think so. Being tough and mean has nothing to do with masculinity. Machismo is not manly.🙏🏻✝️🕊️😊

Loved Jim Caviezel in that movie, too.

“Fucking A, Bubba!” 🤣

Every time I see that part of the film I just cringe. Especially the emotional crying breakdown with Betty in the motel room. Having seen plenty about the real Gus, I know that wasn't that man at all. It's kind of like the bits in "Apollo 13" where Fred Haise snipes at Jack Swigert and they start yelling at each other when you know from Lovell's own account that nothing like that ever happened. I just think it's disrespectful to those men to portray them like that. Sometimes Hollywood needs to be secure enough with the truth to know there's plenty of real drama there.

@@Russell_Huston Indeed!!! It's seems to me a terrible disregard of the truth and disservice to the actual man being smeared. And yes, some of the Apollo 13 scenes definitely take liberties- I've heard recordings of their conversations at that time of the supposed spats and there were no temper tantrums or even raised voices. It's sad how often reality isn't exciting enough for film writers, so they embellish the story. Ugh.

@@dreamerliteraryproductions9423 The real tragedy here is that those of us watching end up thinking this is how you deal, and what heros look like.

@@PreferredMethods Yes. This is what Hollywood wants us to believe heroes look like. It would be one thing if the extensive documentation of these astronauts and their missions evinced otherwise, but they don't. Hollywood prefers to falsify history and ruin reputations for the sake of a "bettering" a film. Ugh.

Me too!

Thank you so much. I'm so glad you got to serve under Commander in Chief Reagan. We felt really safe then.

'84-'90 USMC. Definitely my C-in-C

During one of Reagan’s earliest press conferences, Sam Donaldson asked him was he also felt responsible for the current economic crisis? Reagan stated yes because he was once a democrat.

Excellent movie! Shalom

💯 🔥

Somebody has read The Nation We Knew!

AMEN!

Mike Row for President... 2028

I have a feeling Mike doesn't want any part of being a bureaucrat.

President Trump speaks from the heart

Hearing Reagan speak after the Challenger tragedy was incredibly emotional. I was pregnant with our first child, had a check-up and went to my parents’ home, empty house, made a pot of tea, put the television on to watch the launch live. Heartbreaking. Reagan was superb; he, Thatcher and The Queen. Incredible. 🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️

Me Too!!!!! No, I haven’t been abused at work, I’m doing this thing called ‘agreeing’ I remember that I knew nothing about any of the candidates, butt gosh darn it! I’m legal age to vote, I’m going to VOTE!!!!! It’s been rather depressing in recent elections, wish I could go back to knowing nothing about any of these jerks, makes voting much MUCH easier!!!!!

@@jeffffro7674well clearly you don’t actually know anything about current candidates cause it should be easy still.

@@70eightRPM not a troll at all just speaking facts.

​@@Thumper68Name three good things Biden has done for Americans without mentioning Trump?I'll give you a hint: THERE ARE NONE.

Same

Shooting guns does not equal a “real man”.🙏🏻✝️

It sure HELPS!!!

Dennis Quaid and Martin Short! Loved it.

Ohh man, he definitely was a great Doc but I don’t know, Val Kilmer was unreal, I haven’t stopped quoting him in that role since the day it came out! Ironically, just got a T-shirt yesterday with his face on it that says “I’m in my prime”. The wifi in my home is “Huckleberry”. I love “Wyatt, you’re an oak”. He was amazing, I was a teenager when it came out, loved it the first time and the 100th time as an older man. I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t know which was more accurate to the real man, and agree 100% that Dennis was a great Doc, but Val Kilmer is one of the few movie characters that really amazed me and still does if I watch Tombstone today!! The other actors were not all that bad either! Both movies were unreal, odd they were both put out that close to one another…

Watch the Savior it’s awesome

Oh yes I agree dennis on Joe Rogan

Fantastic idea! This one flew by, it was so enjoyable. I would definitely watch a few hours with Joe.

Ur wishes were granted

That was mine too!!!

I've always l loved Innerspace, an underrated sci fi movie

@@civlwrbuf If that’s the one I think you’re talking about…the one where he is shrunk down and goes inside the body to repair it and ends up inside his girlfriend? That’s one of the few I have seen.

Frequency...

@@asphaltcowboy7567 I know Jim Cavizel doesn't get alot of love right now, and he was great in Person of Interest, he and DQ were a good pairing.

Same!

Enjoy! Very entertaining!

Inner space is one of my all time favorites reminds of my younger years and I love Frequency I thought he did a great job in it

Coca-Cola with Santa Claus. That's the origin of modern Santa.

Undercover Blues is one of my favorites of his movies! I would love to see it again.

Mortey 😂 best part of the movie

Enemy Mine was the name of movie with Louis Gossett, Jr. as the alien.

Yes it was I stand corrected.😊
