Dan Aykroyd praised his Canadian roots while pondering world atrocities in a recently unearthed podcast.
Aykroyd, 74, admitted in a resurfaced clip from “The Adam Carolla Show” that he “loved going around the world,” boasting that his Crystal Head Vodka was “made in Canada” where he was born – a place he believed to have a stark contrast to life in California.
“It’s great to be living in the western world,” he said before singing an old blues song with lyrics including, “Oh, this world is in an uproar, things all going wrong. The way the reds is cutting up, we ain’t going to be here long.”

The “Ghostbusters” actor recalled a visit with a friend from Israel who stayed on his farm and once asked, “Dan, what is it like to live in a land where there’s no war?”
“Here I am driving through the bucolic countryside … and we’re in Canada,” he said. “We’re driving to the drugstore to get an ice cream, and he tells me, ‘What it is like to live in a country without war?’ I thought to myself, ‘Boy, do I take things for granted, you know, around this place.’”
After Carolla reminisced on failed promises for the future, Aykroyd insisted there were “pockets of the world that are at peace and that there is harmony, you know, Santa Monica, California – harmony, peace, joy by the sea.”
“It’s beautiful there, beautiful houses and beautiful shops and lovely wide boulevards and 60,000 homeless,” he said. “So the underside and the overside will always, always be there.”

“We’re living in frankly medieval times. You go, I drive very carefully in the car. I don’t drive prison hours at night, have a gated place to live … lock up at night. Bring my family close, whereas really I would like to take my family and let them run in the park at 1 in the morning.”

He added, “But, no. We have to be so guarded now.”
Carolla added, “Well, what we’re living in, especially in California, is you have Jay-Z and Beyoncé buy a $200 million house in Malibu, but in order to get there, you have to drive through a homeless encampment.”
“They got a deal, by the way,” Aykroyd joked. “It’s worth $700.”
John Bellushi and Dan Aykroyd founded the famous Blues Brothers duo in the late ’70s on “Saturday Night Live.”
“That’s where we’re at, which is ultra rich and then people just expiring on the streets in squalor,” Carolla noted before the actor jumped back in.
“Well, thankfully, knowing people like that, they’re going to drive through their driveway, see that, and immediately start to act to try to allehey are,” Aykroyd said
