Comedic Generational Clash on SiriusXM
What began as a straightforward discussion about unplugging during flights turned into a lighthearted generational misunderstanding when Cherie Cora’s use of the phrase “raw dog” left Harrison Ford perplexed.
During her chat on SiriusXM’s “The Morning Mashup,” the star of “Shrinking” admitted, “Flying on a plane is a total waste. I mean, we always want to make the most of it, but sometimes, we really just need silence and solitude. You sit there, not looking at anything, doing nothing, just staring blankly… like you’re following the flight live.”
As she tried to elaborate, Ford stepped in, saying, “That doesn’t mean ‘raw dog.’”
Host Nicole Ryan playfully encouraged him to clarify, “Why don’t you explain what that actually means?”
Ford responded sheepishly, “They told me a little late. It really didn’t happen, so why would I come across something like that?”
Ryan chimed in with humor, “It’s despicable. It’s dirty.”
To which Christa Miller, co-star on “Shrinking,” pointed out, “You’re married. You don’t have to worry about that.”
Ford then shared, “I’m done with this part of everyone’s life. I have five kids. People say, ‘I never have,’ but what does this mean? Why do you make me do this? Then you make fun of me. It’s because I’m older.”
This amusing incident called to mind a similar situation from Season 1 of “Shrinking,” where Ford’s character misinterprets the term “raw dog,” thinking “bareback” means engaging in conversations with people you’d rather avoid.
While many fans link Ford to iconic blockbuster movies, his career actually took off in the late 1960s, primarily through his unforgettable role as Han Solo in “Star Wars.” He continued with hits like “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Blade Runner,” “The Fugitive,” and “Witness.”
In more recent years, Ford has surprised audiences with projects like “Shrinking” on Apple TV+. He stars alongside Jason Segel, Jessica Williams, and others, portraying Dr. Paul Rose, a seasoned therapist working through personal challenges while guiding younger professionals.
