<v Speaker 1>Thank you.
<v Speaker 2>This is very good. I've you know, for over a
<v Speaker 2>year now, I've been harassing a lot of our mutual
<v Speaker 2>friends and forcing them to do this, you know, by
<v Speaker 2>various means of extortion. And I'm so glad to have
<v Speaker 2>you here because i didn't even have to extore you.
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's near the house, so I didn't have to
<v Speaker 1>drive very far, which is a big plus. And I'm
<v Speaker 1>in town.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's true, and it's true.
<v Speaker 1>You are one of my longest friends. I have known
<v Speaker 1>you since I started in this business thirty plus years ago.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I said, in a day or minute.
<v Speaker 2>We'll always remember I'll always be much older than you.
<v Speaker 2>So see, you got that gone for not much to
<v Speaker 2>me much, so sure, sure, sure.
<v Speaker 1>Well we're not going to say we're just really.
<v Speaker 2>Glad you're here though, thank you golly one of the
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking about it, I wrote, as usual, I
<v Speaker 2>did get my copious notes here.
<v Speaker 1>It's so smart to have notes. A much more people
<v Speaker 1>had notes.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I agree.
<v Speaker 1>You know these people that can just fly off the
<v Speaker 1>handle and say things and have word retrieval skills. It's
<v Speaker 1>like me as a voice artist. If it's not written down,
<v Speaker 1>I can't be clever. What do you think of that stuff?
<v Speaker 1>To say it's on the paper?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that's right. Well, thank god for that. We
<v Speaker 2>like it when people put words in our mouth. And
<v Speaker 2>we've been trading words for a good long time. And
<v Speaker 2>music and music and music. But oh boy, you guys
<v Speaker 2>in for a treat. We were in a band called
<v Speaker 2>the Tasmaniacs.
<v Speaker 1>That's right.
<v Speaker 2>Can you guess the connection? Yes, yes, Debbie was my
<v Speaker 2>little brother.
<v Speaker 1>I played Jake to the famous most Wonderful Tasmanian Devil.
<v Speaker 1>Big brother. You're the brother.
<v Speaker 2>Who that's right. I've had so many, you know, little
<v Speaker 2>brothers and uncles, and so many of them were women.
<v Speaker 1>We don't have puberty, you know, we can still be them.
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, I'm biting my tongue, but that's good. I'm
<v Speaker 2>so glad you're here, and I'm trying. I was trying
<v Speaker 2>to think what might have been the first show that
<v Speaker 2>we worked on together? Oh golly, would it have been
<v Speaker 2>a curious George? Perhaps?
<v Speaker 1>No, did you ever do Peter Pan and the Pirates
<v Speaker 1>with Tim Curry? Do you do any of those?
<v Speaker 6>I looked up the credits. I couldn't find Jim in
<v Speaker 6>that one.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think so.
<v Speaker 1>What about Oh I know, uh, what a mess? Did
<v Speaker 1>you do? What a mess? I think we didn't.
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. Well it was I didn't.
<v Speaker 1>Let me see. Let me just look at let me
<v Speaker 1>just look at this list.
<v Speaker 2>I think what a mess.
<v Speaker 1>Well, definitely we should show that, George.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, anyway, see, look how cool is that Debby?
<v Speaker 1>Well not all of them, but a good many.
<v Speaker 2>Well, the one in the sweater and the blue.
<v Speaker 5>Is that's me.
<v Speaker 1>She's definitely definitely me.
<v Speaker 6>The Adams family.
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't getting away with that. I was worry.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what was the first Yeah, I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's so many that we do, and it
<v Speaker 1>just you know, people come to my table when I'm
<v Speaker 1>at conventions and they'll say, do you remember episode four
<v Speaker 1>of Jack and SHMACKI that you did in nineteen ninety four,
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, do you remember what you had for
<v Speaker 1>lunch yesterday?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a blur. It's a fun, fabulous, wonderful blur.
<v Speaker 2>But a blur, A blur, but a blur. I just
<v Speaker 2>because that's true.
<v Speaker 1>Who can remember them all?
<v Speaker 2>I can't.
<v Speaker 1>I can't.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, but that's good.
<v Speaker 1>Did you do something.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure I did?
<v Speaker 7>Oh?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I did. I was overlord, Overlord.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you see there.
<v Speaker 3>That guy.
<v Speaker 2>He was extra cool.
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes we do shows together and we come in
<v Speaker 1>at different times, so we don't really know we did
<v Speaker 1>the show together, but we did.
<v Speaker 2>It's true, that's true.
<v Speaker 1>But being in the band with you, man.
<v Speaker 6>Let's talk about the Adams family.
<v Speaker 2>Let it out, Okay. We had to get that out
<v Speaker 2>of our system or mine.
<v Speaker 1>We had an amazing cast like the original, John asked,
<v Speaker 1>and Gomez was in that right, yes, and Carol channing
<v Speaker 1>what they're noisy channing?
<v Speaker 2>Yes?
<v Speaker 1>And her Tea had to tell them about that.
<v Speaker 2>The teeth and the tops, well.
<v Speaker 1>She always had a thermosful of hot tea and and
<v Speaker 1>teeth too. And she had shirts that were noisy, Like
<v Speaker 1>when I teach voiceover, one of the chapters is on
<v Speaker 1>what not to.
<v Speaker 2>Wear, don't wear a tambourine and.
<v Speaker 1>Don't wear like silk or tracksuit because it goes. She
<v Speaker 1>had some noisy shirts, but she could sit still though.
<v Speaker 1>To her credit.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and she had like five pounds of bracelets on each.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, jingle jangle, jingle jack.
<v Speaker 2>And I brought this up before, but I want to
<v Speaker 2>say it was a chippendale, but she was doing she
<v Speaker 2>and money. Yeah, it was because I was Monterey Jack
<v Speaker 2>at the time and we were doing a takeoff on
<v Speaker 2>the African Queen with Hovey Bogart and uh Audrey Hepburn
<v Speaker 2>and she was, I guess Audrey Hepburn and I was
<v Speaker 2>hump and she was doing this and she was going
<v Speaker 2>all over the place, and the engineer asked her, I'm sorry, Misterenny,
<v Speaker 2>you can't really move because we're picking up a lot
<v Speaker 2>of that that it was very very starched, and so
<v Speaker 2>she just stood up and took off her top, took
<v Speaker 2>up the top. Yes, she was wearing a brazier, thank
<v Speaker 2>you lord. Yes, but we all still were still kind
<v Speaker 2>of going like this the whole time. Oh, she's marvelish,
<v Speaker 2>each wondering for now I can move. That's not a
<v Speaker 2>bad Carol channing, But that was really.
<v Speaker 1>A good one. Is quite the impersonation, you guys, he
<v Speaker 1>can do them.
<v Speaker 2>I impersonate people with talent, and what can you do?
<v Speaker 7>Can you?
<v Speaker 1>I personate me?
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I thought married?
<v Speaker 1>You're married?
<v Speaker 2>And so are you?
<v Speaker 1>I am married?
<v Speaker 2>I know where is he?
<v Speaker 1>Ian is at home? Yes, he's at home.
<v Speaker 2>Playing his base very well. By the way, did we
<v Speaker 2>mention that? I think so?
<v Speaker 1>He plays a mean base.
<v Speaker 2>But I can't remember what we were talking about now,
<v Speaker 2>But it had something to do with the cartoon.
<v Speaker 6>How about that you Debbie?
<v Speaker 2>Right? Isn't it right? Christopher? I had something first.
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna do Debbie.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's right.
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna imitate Debbie.
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh sure, I mean to imitate Debbie. But I
<v Speaker 2>don't think I stunted pinking enough.
<v Speaker 1>No, you and Danny man try, but you can't do it.
<v Speaker 1>You can't do it.
<v Speaker 2>I could probably do that a little easier. Yeah, but boy,
<v Speaker 2>oh boy.
<v Speaker 6>Let's touch up on Wednesday, because you said Wednesday was
<v Speaker 6>a real struggle for you because your voice is so high.
<v Speaker 6>But she's very subduced.
<v Speaker 1>She that is one of those characters sort of like
<v Speaker 1>I did this other cartoon with Howie Mandel called Bobby's World,
<v Speaker 1>and yes, yes, I always got him. Jenny McSwain was
<v Speaker 1>always like less, Debbie, gimme less, and that's how Wednesday was.
<v Speaker 1>Gordon was always like just just for Wednesday, as I
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not really doing anything. That's it, that's it.
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not doing anything at all really perfect.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>It's hard though, not to be amped and up, at
<v Speaker 1>least for me when I'm on the mic, so I
<v Speaker 1>call it my my valium voice. Used to call it
<v Speaker 1>the vale voice. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Well, she had colorful direction.
<v Speaker 1>So when I had Jackie on Bobby's World, she was
<v Speaker 1>down here with long braids. And she also had a
<v Speaker 1>PENSIONT for low.
<v Speaker 2>Energy pension pension Oh n C.
<v Speaker 1>H A N T. Right, But who else was in
<v Speaker 1>that cast?
<v Speaker 2>We had.
<v Speaker 1>Genial eyes, right, the fabulous genialized was better?
<v Speaker 2>Remember cousin it say yes thank you? Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>Oh? And Rob Paulson played.
<v Speaker 2>They played nobody that chided like that Trump.
<v Speaker 1>Kind of like that. Sorry, And then we had Dick Bials. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>Dick Beals played the Kid next Door Trivia.
<v Speaker 2>Cool dude, you know.
<v Speaker 1>Dick Biels did the original Speedy Alka Seltzer, which was
<v Speaker 1>an ancient Q right, and then they decided to bring
<v Speaker 1>Speedy Alka Seltzer back, which I got cast as Speedy
<v Speaker 1>Alka Seltzer. He's down here in the corner. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know if you can see that guy right there came up.
<v Speaker 1>It didn't live a long time on the commercials, but
<v Speaker 1>that was fun following in Dick Biels, especially the steps.
<v Speaker 2>You drop him in water?
<v Speaker 6>Did you mention not a long time rip Taylor?
<v Speaker 1>Was he fun?
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we had so much fun in that show. He
<v Speaker 1>wasn't in it, but he was down the hall. Remember
<v Speaker 1>that one time we were recording and someone said, Jonathan
<v Speaker 1>Winterers is down the hall and we were like, if
<v Speaker 1>you guys don't know who Jonathan Winners is, just go
<v Speaker 1>google him and you will see the person who could
<v Speaker 1>like live in another personality just like that and make
<v Speaker 1>up a whole world of another person.
<v Speaker 2>And he is basically responsible for Robin Williams. Yep. He
<v Speaker 2>he's the inspiration for Robin Williams. And when you and
<v Speaker 2>when you see Jonathan, you'll.
<v Speaker 5>Go, oh yeah, yep, that's what Robin was doing.
<v Speaker 1>But if you remember, they told us he was down
<v Speaker 1>the hall. He was sitting at Gordon's desk. Gordon Hunt
<v Speaker 1>was and we all ran down the hall because whenever
<v Speaker 1>they tell you don't do something, we can do it.
<v Speaker 1>And ran down the hall to see Jonathan Winners. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>how often do you get to see Jonathan.
<v Speaker 2>Winners living legend?
<v Speaker 1>And he uh, We said hi, hi Jonathan, and he was,
<v Speaker 1>I'm not Jonathan or something. He went into it of God,
<v Speaker 1>yesa tribes.
<v Speaker 2>He went into my name is phil Phillips Smithers and
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm of course from chicaucas or somewhere. Yeah, he was,
<v Speaker 2>I'm so sick of that bastard, Jonathan Winners. Apparently he's
<v Speaker 2>a good looking Sonova and he looks at Lucks just
<v Speaker 2>like me. Oh lucky me, How lucky me. I got
<v Speaker 2>to walk somewhere. And you know what I really hate
<v Speaker 2>when that bastard's on Ed Sullivan because then the next day,
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, I can't go to the Woolsworth. He
<v Speaker 2>went on just like like that, on and on.
<v Speaker 1>It was czy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he's telling us the story about this guy
<v Speaker 2>that he met in the parking lot. Yeah, and he
<v Speaker 2>goes on and on and on and he and the
<v Speaker 2>guy said, you know, I can't imagine. I mean, that
<v Speaker 2>must that must be hell to look this much like
<v Speaker 2>a celebrity. I mean, you must get that all the time. Listen,
<v Speaker 2>I'm allow me to apologize. I'm intruding on you. You're
<v Speaker 2>a car salesman from Secaucus or wherever, and here I
<v Speaker 2>am doing this anyway. I got to let you go.
<v Speaker 2>And he walks away, and Jonathan goes, wait, you don't
<v Speaker 2>even want my autograph after all that ship and then
<v Speaker 2>he coughed to it, and then he gave him his autograph.
<v Speaker 1>It was it was crazy. They were like, get back
<v Speaker 1>into the boot, Dabby and Jim. We're recording today. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but wait, we get to see movie stars.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yes, the small small World movie Star. That was
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorite movies of his. Yep, everybody's going
<v Speaker 2>what anyway? Yes, I'm old, It's okay.
<v Speaker 1>That was a fun show. We had a lot of
<v Speaker 1>fun recordings. We had a table read and then we'd
<v Speaker 1>go in and recorded. And did Dana Hill do any
<v Speaker 1>guests on that show?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I think she did some guests. God bless our
<v Speaker 2>dear friend. She's no longer with this dinner.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, there's people who are with us anymore.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, and csification Summer Vacation something. Anyway, that was It
<v Speaker 1>was a super fun show, Brendon. We had a good people,
<v Speaker 1>and that was like one of the last shows that
<v Speaker 1>they actually it made cells for, like like official animation cells,
<v Speaker 1>because after that they just printed on a laser printer
<v Speaker 1>and that's what you got. But our actual cells, I know,
<v Speaker 1>Bobby's World we had cells, and that show we had them.
<v Speaker 1>It was very cool.
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any interesting Howie Mandel stories? I always
<v Speaker 2>do that.
<v Speaker 1>Let's see. Well, you know, they told me don't try
<v Speaker 1>and shake his hand, don't try and touch him, so
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I was just pretty much afraid of him
<v Speaker 1>the whole time because I didn't want to get into trouble.
<v Speaker 1>But at that time when we were recording Bobby's World,
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm a scuba diver. I've been a scuba
<v Speaker 1>diver for decades and at that time I am still
<v Speaker 1>the size of a twelve year old boy. But I
<v Speaker 1>was at that time the size of a twelve year
<v Speaker 1>old boy, and they were looking and for someone to
<v Speaker 1>replace to be the body stunt double in the for
<v Speaker 1>the kid in this movie called Free Willie.
<v Speaker 2>So they enjoyed it in England.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, they enjoyed it in Rick in England Free Willie.
<v Speaker 1>So I went to Warner Brothers and met them and
<v Speaker 1>they said, okay, you can ride the whale for Jason,
<v Speaker 1>and flew me down to Mexico City. They tied on
<v Speaker 1>some hair that would hold up in the salt water,
<v Speaker 1>and I spent seven weeks on the back of that
<v Speaker 1>whale for that movie because they're not going to have
<v Speaker 1>a twelve year old boy ride the whale because there's
<v Speaker 1>things that could happen. And you know, there was this
<v Speaker 1>trick where he drowns and the whale comes and rescues
<v Speaker 1>him from eighteen feet under in a fifty five degree pool,
<v Speaker 1>and they needed an official scuba diver. So during that show,
<v Speaker 1>they'd be like, well, we're recording a Bobby's World. So
<v Speaker 1>I got on the plane a couple times and came
<v Speaker 1>back up to La to record Bobby's World and then
<v Speaker 1>headed back to Mexico City.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you said, Howie loved the improvisation in the studio
<v Speaker 6>as much as the directors hated it.
<v Speaker 1>He wanted everybody to do it. And the producers, remember
<v Speaker 1>Gary Conrad, He the producers were all, I mean, it's
<v Speaker 1>hard for editors and engineers to separate everybody. But you
<v Speaker 1>put a bunch of voice actors in the studio and
<v Speaker 1>put headphones on them, and they all go to town
<v Speaker 1>and we love to hear ourselves talk, and so we
<v Speaker 1>talk and talk read and I mean when one of
<v Speaker 1>them's Pat Railey and one of them is Rob Paulson,
<v Speaker 1>forget it. Yeah, there's going to be It was a
<v Speaker 1>Robin Pat show.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there's going to be a lot to shake. And
<v Speaker 2>that's time. I just lay in the corner and wake
<v Speaker 2>me up on my line.
<v Speaker 1>And they'd say, okay, give us one is written. But
<v Speaker 1>how we really loved it when we could just say
<v Speaker 1>whatever we wanted. But you guys are funny. I'm just
<v Speaker 1>like the straight man, you know. I just do as written.
<v Speaker 6>Well, that's a funny man needs a strip man to
<v Speaker 6>bounce off.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you need this. I feel very important I provide
<v Speaker 1>that service. I am the straight man for you and
<v Speaker 1>your funnies.
<v Speaker 2>There you go. I feel very important because you're importantly
<v Speaker 2>feeling important, and that's important.
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that. But yeah, all you funny people, I
<v Speaker 1>just sit there and watch you, and I'm amazed you
<v Speaker 1>and Rob and Pastoring and Howie and you guys just.
<v Speaker 2>Just well, I don't know about Pat. I just kidd it.
<v Speaker 2>See this. It's funny, more funny, comedy, humor, free jokes.
<v Speaker 4>I know most of the people we've talked to on
<v Speaker 4>this show have said that they don't really get to
<v Speaker 4>record as like a group or an ensemble anymore. Is
<v Speaker 4>that the same story for you as well?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I think it is kind of coming back
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, but not fully. And also times are changing.
<v Speaker 1>They are changing. I'll tell you. It used to be
<v Speaker 1>they'd say, Debbie, go in, they need a seven year
<v Speaker 1>old girl, they need a five year old boy, and
<v Speaker 1>I go on in. And now they really bring in
<v Speaker 1>a seven year old girl and a five year old boy,
<v Speaker 1>and then the show gets picked up and they have
<v Speaker 1>to recast it because the kids are already thirteen. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>if they would just do it like they used to
<v Speaker 1>and let me do all the kid voices, I think yes,
<v Speaker 1>it'd be a better place I know for all of those.
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, I've said before. You know we always had
<v Speaker 2>Winnie the Pooh had about seven or eight nine iterations
<v Speaker 2>and would always get a fresh boy, fresh boy, cousinybody, oh, pooh,
<v Speaker 2>I have to go down to the huddacher. What all right?
<v Speaker 2>The next next called Central Casting. We need a fresh
<v Speaker 2>Christopher Robin.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, but boy, I would love to record all
<v Speaker 1>together again, like when we did this show called Ephis
<v Speaker 1>for Family with Bill Burr. They let me play a
<v Speaker 1>lot of characters in that show. I got to play
<v Speaker 1>his daughter.
<v Speaker 2>Marine And what about.
<v Speaker 1>I played kiddy with did her? And then Philip? I
<v Speaker 1>told Rob flat out, I said, I'm stealing Carl for Philip.
<v Speaker 2>There you go.
<v Speaker 1>And I did Philip when he had Brice's and curl
<v Speaker 1>it really had Bricius. And then Bridget who has the
<v Speaker 1>mouth of a sailor. And I'm sure there's kids watching this,
<v Speaker 1>so I won't say what she says, but you can't
<v Speaker 1>just beat your dan's head over it with something foul
<v Speaker 1>and awful. She says really bad things, but so fun.
<v Speaker 2>What about Beatrice?
<v Speaker 1>I did play Beatrice, the nurse from Wisconsin, She's like,
<v Speaker 1>which killed kidd? Did you almost kill this time? And
<v Speaker 1>then I played girt Laura Dern in college. Well she's
<v Speaker 1>the mom, but they do flashbacks of her in college.
<v Speaker 1>Her friend was.
<v Speaker 5>Gert who you know those Kenie glasses?
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Yeah, her. And then I got to stunt read
<v Speaker 1>because they could never get Alice and Janny in. So
<v Speaker 1>I stunt read Alice and Jenny's line. It was the
<v Speaker 1>top of executive. As I read it, I said, oh,
<v Speaker 1>I think it's out.
<v Speaker 2>In the garage and that's wonderful.
<v Speaker 1>And so when I actually heard Alice and Janny read it,
<v Speaker 1>they had to read it that way. Thanks Alison, I
<v Speaker 1>gave you that line read.
<v Speaker 2>Gave he gave her. That's a full blown.
<v Speaker 1>Character, totally so fun stunt reading again.
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I've I've you know, whenever people will
<v Speaker 2>talk to me and they say why you do this
<v Speaker 2>voice and you do that?
<v Speaker 3>Voice?
<v Speaker 2>Voices, voices, voices, and yeah, but I prefer to think
<v Speaker 2>of them as characters and that the voice part is
<v Speaker 2>just what they sound like when they talk.
<v Speaker 1>M hm.
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's called character voices.
<v Speaker 1>They are characters, like like when you when you listen
<v Speaker 1>to something that you've been on. Like when I listen,
<v Speaker 1>doesn't it just always sound like you? I mean, you
<v Speaker 1>know you're doing a character.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I think that only.
<v Speaker 1>Right me too. I'm listening to it and I'm going, well,
<v Speaker 1>that's me, and that's me again, that's me again.
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm singing yeah, and it's uh, yeah, that was
<v Speaker 2>me singing.
<v Speaker 1>He's quite a singer, by the way, this gym man
<v Speaker 1>not a dancer. Boy, can he sing? You dance with
<v Speaker 1>your hands though? On the drums?
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's true.
<v Speaker 1>You know. I still have the drumsticks. You gave me,
<v Speaker 1>signed them, you gave them to me. They're up and
<v Speaker 1>I don't collect anything. Everything in my house or anyone
<v Speaker 1>gives me anything is out. I don't want anything.
<v Speaker 2>It's only two of them, so it's not too bad.
<v Speaker 1>Two friends, right, two things, two sticks. True, they don't
<v Speaker 1>take up a lot of room anyway. I still have
<v Speaker 1>them because they mean a lot to me.
<v Speaker 2>That's good. Yeah. Well I used to do at the
<v Speaker 2>end of every show. I would go around at the
<v Speaker 2>final recording, and because I would sit there all year
<v Speaker 2>or years and annoyed people with my sticks, you know,
<v Speaker 2>And so I figured the least I could do is
<v Speaker 2>give them all a complimentary here's your free drumsticks. Now
<v Speaker 2>you can annoy the next session that you go to. Yep.
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes I take them and hit the microphone.
<v Speaker 2>People love this on the love that the engineer is
<v Speaker 2>really good. Ah, yes, yes, yes, And did we I'm older,
<v Speaker 2>of course, But do we cover when you started? Because
<v Speaker 2>I think we're kind of current concurrent. I was you were?
<v Speaker 2>You were but a little lass.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I must have been. I was in the mid eighties,
<v Speaker 1>maybe late eighties, because I remember I had finished college
<v Speaker 1>in eighty three and then went to Nashville for a
<v Speaker 1>few years, got married, divorced, and then came out here
<v Speaker 1>like eighty seven, eighty eight, something like that, and then
<v Speaker 1>Jenny McSwain sent me over to Jeff Danis, and I
<v Speaker 1>just started working right away and it's just never stopped
<v Speaker 1>pretty much.
<v Speaker 2>Nice, good old Jeff.
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad I didn't go to med school. I wouldn't
<v Speaker 1>have enjoyed it nearly as much. Well, and really, who
<v Speaker 1>was going to believe me? I'm going to take out
<v Speaker 1>your appendix.
<v Speaker 2>Now, I'm looking right here, and it says that you
<v Speaker 2>were a graduate of u c l A. And you
<v Speaker 2>were in pre med.
<v Speaker 1>I was a pre made graduate. So I took all
<v Speaker 1>the I took BOKAM and ok Physics one two three,
<v Speaker 1>Calculus one two three. I took the hardest classes. I
<v Speaker 1>worked so hard. Jimmy and I graduated, and I thought, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>it's time to apply to med school. And I did.
<v Speaker 1>And then in my spare time, I was in the
<v Speaker 1>stairwell playing guitar and singing, or on the streets of
<v Speaker 1>Westwood with my guitar busking. That's all I wanted to
<v Speaker 1>do was sing and play guitar and do harmonies. So
<v Speaker 1>that's what I did. And I think the good thing
<v Speaker 1>about all those uh high level upper division chemistry courses
<v Speaker 1>was that when I booked Jimmy neutron, I knew how
<v Speaker 1>to say all those words, all the chemical compounds. It
<v Speaker 1>came rushing back to me.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's hysterical. See, not many of us can say that. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>you're like, you're the only one. You're the only.
<v Speaker 1>One, ang the only one. No, you know, we have
<v Speaker 1>a couple of lawyers gone rogue in our in our world.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, I think Laura Laura Miller, Laura J. Miller,
<v Speaker 1>she she was an attorney and Sonny Sonny Loup. She's
<v Speaker 1>an't journey. Yeah, there's some smarties in there. But then
<v Speaker 1>they were like, all I want to do is voiceover act.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I used to sell pots and pants door to door.
<v Speaker 2>You did.
<v Speaker 1>Detroit? No?
<v Speaker 2>No, God, no, no? In New Orleans? Okay, but I
<v Speaker 2>just thought i'd throw that in there. It's true. By

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No, UCLA was really great and I don't remember
<v Speaker 1>a thing another blur, and you know, I couldn't make
<v Speaker 1>it from I did art stuff like acting in North Areas,
<v Speaker 1>but then all the all the heavy science stuff was
<v Speaker 1>in South Campus and you can't tell I'm sitting down,
<v Speaker 1>but I'm only four ten and a half and I
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get there in time, Like my stride is just
<v Speaker 1>not that fast. So I wore roller skates eight hours
<v Speaker 1>a day at UCLA. For four years, I skated all
<v Speaker 1>over that campus. I could just run up Breu and
<v Speaker 1>walk and down. I could do cartwheels. I could cartwheel
<v Speaker 1>into the splits like I was quite the roller skater.
<v Speaker 2>Wow.
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm just afraid I'll break, so I'm not allowed to.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not qualified to watch it.
<v Speaker 1>You know, breaking is no fun at our age, or
<v Speaker 1>break at any age. Really, no one wants to break it.
<v Speaker 2>Broke, breaks, broke, he knows.
<v Speaker 1>Did you break something?
<v Speaker 3>I knee?
<v Speaker 1>Breaking your knee? That's worse. What was that basketball?
<v Speaker 3>Football? A c l mc L meniscus, all of it?
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, drag.
<v Speaker 1>They just rebuild the whole thing.
<v Speaker 3>I screamed harder than than I ever screamed in my life.
<v Speaker 1>The worst pain ever, isn't it.
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't even the pain that I screamed from.
<v Speaker 4>It was a shock of feeling your knee literally bend
<v Speaker 4>backwards and I was like, oh oh no, and it
<v Speaker 4>just kept going, and then that feeling lingers. One of
<v Speaker 4>the things that stayed with me after surgery was like,
<v Speaker 4>when you swing your leg, it feels like it's just going.
<v Speaker 1>To keep swinging until those tendons grab.
<v Speaker 3>But even after surgery. It's like psychological, you.
<v Speaker 1>Know, and it's like, oh no, how LONGO was that?
<v Speaker 1>But four five years?
<v Speaker 3>It was right before the pandemic years.
<v Speaker 1>You will have like a good knee till you're about sixty,
<v Speaker 1>and then you'll get new ones.
<v Speaker 3>You know what the doctor said to me too. He
<v Speaker 3>was like, I tightened up your knee a little more,
<v Speaker 3>so it'll last longer. That's I don't think that's I
<v Speaker 3>don't think that's how bodies work.
<v Speaker 4>I don't think you just go in and like tighten
<v Speaker 4>muscles and tendons and like, don't worry, it'll last longer.
<v Speaker 2>Now, I mean Phillip's head screw on the side here,
<v Speaker 2>ain't a little tight? Oh that's much better.
<v Speaker 1>Wait, well, don't go roller skating. You can't risk the breaking.
<v Speaker 2>No.
<v Speaker 1>Plus, you weigh over one hundred pounds and that's a
<v Speaker 1>lettle weight to come tumbling down.
<v Speaker 2>I do he does weigh over one hundred pounds?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Wait, I have to ask you this, since you
<v Speaker 3>brought up height.
<v Speaker 1>Do you have thirty?
<v Speaker 3>Do you do the placard? Do you have the handcat placard?
<v Speaker 1>Don't have a handicap placard?
<v Speaker 3>Remember it?
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to have one.
<v Speaker 4>I went to school with this girl who's four ten,
<v Speaker 4>and she was so excited on her eighteenth birthday to
<v Speaker 4>get the handicap placard because she was like, it's a privilege.
<v Speaker 4>If you're under five feet then you can get it.
<v Speaker 1>I wish I had known that. Oh my gosh. I
<v Speaker 1>remember when I was pregnant, really pregnant, and we would
<v Speaker 1>pull up to like Disney or something and you have
<v Speaker 1>to park pretty far. Oh yeah, Like, can't I get
<v Speaker 1>the placard so I could park closer so I don't
<v Speaker 1>have to.
<v Speaker 2>Do the waddle so you and River didn't have to.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's twenty three. Now, my boy is twenty three.
<v Speaker 1>You remember me pregnant?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I do? We go back? Yeah, yeah, I remember
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even being here because he wasn't born right.
<v Speaker 1>Right, You remember him not even being here? Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>And now he's borned up something fierce.
<v Speaker 1>He has. He finished college can computer science degree? Oh
<v Speaker 1>I read if you're watching it, you're my boy.
<v Speaker 2>That's proud of Yeah, and you know you have to
<v Speaker 2>say his whole name because get ready for the coolest
<v Speaker 2>name on the block.
<v Speaker 1>His name is River Jordan. Yes, it is.
<v Speaker 2>How about that?
<v Speaker 1>His dad was a Jordan, and I thought, well, we
<v Speaker 1>don't have a choice. We're gonna name it boy or girl.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's right, Yeah, that's true.
<v Speaker 1>Huh yeah, you had to. His parents were old school
<v Speaker 1>and uh. As we were wheeling him out of the
<v Speaker 1>delivery room, the parents, the grandparents, the proud grandparents of
<v Speaker 1>their only grandson. What's his what's his name? River River Jordan.
<v Speaker 1>So we just turned before we could see the look
<v Speaker 1>on their face because you know, they didn't know River
<v Speaker 1>was a popular name. It's a popular name. Now.
<v Speaker 2>Well, they were hoping for Mississippi, and so you can
<v Speaker 2>understand their dismay. Surely Mississippi. But then he wasn't a.
<v Speaker 1>Miss or a missus right, So we we dodged a
<v Speaker 1>bullet there.
<v Speaker 2>Touched the bullet. Oh lord, don't try this at home, folks.
<v Speaker 1>No, but so yeah, U c l a man.

<v Speaker 1>a little bitchy. M hmm. Yeah. She did not like

<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. No, just just this Marsden Park.
<v Speaker 2>But you're all the same height.

<v Speaker 1>it to five feet. I did not.
<v Speaker 2>I did not. You're not missing anything.
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know when.
<v Speaker 2>Heights.

<v Speaker 1>just have to wear a mask. Otherwise it's boobs and armpits.
<v Speaker 1>That's all I see. It's I'm right there at that level,
<v Speaker 1>and every time someone coughs, sneezes, or talks, all the
<v Speaker 1>spit germs just come right down to my level. And
<v Speaker 1>so it's it's very scary being in a packed room
<v Speaker 1>at my height. You guys have to experience it sometime.

<v Speaker 2>A little ducky.
<v Speaker 1>I was getting a little ducky. The ducky. That's ducky.

<v Speaker 1>Ross was telling me how to bark like a pug.
<v Speaker 1>He was saying, you put the the donald duck. The
<v Speaker 1>duck cheek and then do the bark with a muffled
<v Speaker 1>kind of sound. See if that gives you the pug bark.

<v Speaker 2>does an amazing, unbelievable cricket.
<v Speaker 1>A certain thing.
<v Speaker 4>I used to dream of being able to do a cricket.
<v Speaker 4>I thought it would be the funniest thing to do.
<v Speaker 4>That's yeah, you can hear the high pitch. I think
<v Speaker 4>the pitch is the hardest thing.
<v Speaker 2>I have a clue.
<v Speaker 1>I have cricket cluelessness.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I had it for a second if I had
<v Speaker 2>my regular four tongue.

<v Speaker 1>is is uh a lot less abrasive. I can be
<v Speaker 1>closer to the mic for the I like it all.
<v Speaker 1>All the baby sounds are good. It's it's very messy
<v Speaker 1>being a baby because it requires a lot of like liquid,
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to dirty up your microphone here,
<v Speaker 1>but they usually have to give it a pretty good
<v Speaker 1>cleaning done with.
<v Speaker 3>They come in and clean afterwards.
<v Speaker 2>Well not a baby duck.
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't put the wet in it, so I
<v Speaker 1>didn't spittle all over your mic I was very considerate.

<v Speaker 6>forth when he was still younger?
<v Speaker 2>I did well.
<v Speaker 1>I studied him, you know. I take infants and put
<v Speaker 1>them on my lap and I listened to them. And

<v Speaker 1>I can get it right there. And then you make
<v Speaker 1>your teeth funny. Ooh surey, I need mone to pine.
<v Speaker 2>That's great so much. I wouldn't have known that was you,
<v Speaker 2>so I looked away. I wouldn't have known, because you
<v Speaker 2>always think we know each other. Oh that's comings doing
<v Speaker 2>a you know, a goat. Yeah you know, but wow,
<v Speaker 2>that was.
<v Speaker 3>I have a question for both of you.
<v Speaker 4>It's it's been on my mind for some time now,
<v Speaker 4>and I always wonder as a voice actor, and you
<v Speaker 4>guys are both musicians as well, do you when you
<v Speaker 4>hear yourself like just normally, you know, like people have
<v Speaker 4>a reaction to hearing their normal voice because it's not
<v Speaker 4>really what we hear like in your head. But I'm
<v Speaker 4>curious because you guys can sound like so many different people,
<v Speaker 4>Like do you think you have a better like I
<v Speaker 4>guess assessment of what your own voice sounds like coming
<v Speaker 4>out of your mouth.
<v Speaker 1>I think we do.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so too. We ourselves.
<v Speaker 1>We don't go, oh, is that what I sound like?
<v Speaker 2>You're like, I know, exactly shut it off that way? Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, but I got over it. Maybe an eighth,
<v Speaker 2>tenth grade or.
<v Speaker 1>Play yourself back and whenever.
<v Speaker 2>Chance, whenever I had a chance, because I was always
<v Speaker 2>in bands back then, and somebody would, you know, record
<v Speaker 2>it on there with the press the two uh you
<v Speaker 2>know our gigs.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, press play and record at the same time, at.
<v Speaker 2>The same time we get there. You don't know that,
<v Speaker 2>and uh, the little cassette recorders. And then I'd listen
<v Speaker 2>back to it and I'd say, okay, ooh, boh, that
<v Speaker 2>was sucked. That was not that wasn't bad. And then
<v Speaker 2>you just trim and trim, and then that's how I
<v Speaker 2>did it, you know, to try and make myself acceptable
<v Speaker 2>to myself.
<v Speaker 1>I just always sounded the same. I guess when I
<v Speaker 1>first heard myself, I'm like, something's wrong. It's a chip monkey,
<v Speaker 1>what's going on something's wrong with the recording, but feed
<v Speaker 1>this up right. You have to embrace your pigeonhole, that's
<v Speaker 1>what I call it. You have to love who you are.
<v Speaker 1>The mic likes my voice, it likes your voice, and
<v Speaker 1>we just have to kind of honor that. And I
<v Speaker 1>do say grown up music. I have a band, Honey Pig,
<v Speaker 1>a country band, and it's three part harmony. And I
<v Speaker 1>write a lot of songs.
<v Speaker 2>And now I've heard you many a song, many a song.
<v Speaker 1>You have songs, yes, But I also sing kids music,
<v Speaker 1>which I love singing kids music, and I just finished
<v Speaker 1>my fourth kids album and just release this great single
<v Speaker 1>with Lisa Lobe. If you go to Debbie dairy Berry Kids,
<v Speaker 1>all the that's all the animated videos of all my
<v Speaker 1>kids songs from the last album and some of the
<v Speaker 1>other songs. So there's quite a few animated videos up
<v Speaker 1>there for kids. And I'm hoping that that Debbie dairy
<v Speaker 1>Berry Kids will get funneled into the magic that is
<v Speaker 1>YouTube kids. One day I'll get into YouTube kids. That's
<v Speaker 1>the goal. But I'm still doing have to work on that.
<v Speaker 2>Out there, folks. YouTube Kids. Debbie dairy Berry.
<v Speaker 1>Watch Debbie dairy Berry Kids. It's not on YouTube Kids yet,
<v Speaker 1>but it will will be. Yeah, So if you could
<v Speaker 1>just put your computer on YouTube Kids and just put
<v Speaker 1>it on repeat.

<v Speaker 2>back and leave it on and just leave it on,
<v Speaker 2>and do we get introduced to your fabulous guitar. She

<v Speaker 1>I'm a great recycler. I think you can see my
<v Speaker 1>beautiful pink jj Hart guitar. It's nice. But I play
<v Speaker 1>my oulcon for honey Pig. We like the Olsen. That's
<v Speaker 1>a heck of a guitar.

<v Speaker 1>videos where I'm showing you how to vomit? Like right,

<v Speaker 2>No, I was thinking of something else. Oh, never mind, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>maybe later.
<v Speaker 6>Have we said what that book is?
<v Speaker 2>Cold?
<v Speaker 1>It's called Voiceover one oh one, How to Succeed as
<v Speaker 1>a Voice Actor by Debbie Dairy Perry.
<v Speaker 6>Yes, best promotion you've ever had.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.
<v Speaker 2>And you know I a long, long, long time ago,
<v Speaker 2>our dear buddy Gordon Hunt from Hannah Barbara. We've spoken
<v Speaker 2>of him before. God God rest his soul. He wrote
<v Speaker 2>a book called How to Break Into Show Business. And
<v Speaker 2>after I was already working for about five years and
<v Speaker 2>had worked for him any number of times, somebody said,
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah blah, was that from your book, Gordon?
<v Speaker 2>And they were making a choke And what book was that?
<v Speaker 2>I said, I wrote about how to say Sons? And
<v Speaker 2>I said, oh okay. So I went down to Barnes
<v Speaker 2>and Noble and I picked it up and the fifth
<v Speaker 2>chapter and it's everything. It's like, I mean, how to
<v Speaker 2>go to a circus, how to audition for this or
<v Speaker 2>a play, or how to stage a play, how to
<v Speaker 2>do you know all this stuff? And the fifth the
<v Speaker 2>fifth chapter was how to break into voiceover? And did
<v Speaker 2>you ever read this? It's pretty famous and it says,
<v Speaker 2>don't bother. The entire voiceover market is locked up by
<v Speaker 2>less than ten people, and they all live in Hollywood, California,
<v Speaker 2>where you don't. And if you show up, you're not
<v Speaker 2>going to get in because did I mention there's ten
<v Speaker 2>people that do this crap and you're not one of them.
<v Speaker 2>And enjoy your day. Go to chapter six.
<v Speaker 1>You know, back then, Jim, he was right.
<v Speaker 2>Probably he was right back and.
<v Speaker 1>It's changed now.
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad. I'm glad he was wrong.
<v Speaker 1>And there's a lot of people in the time.
<v Speaker 2>He was wrong because I didn't know it was impossible.
<v Speaker 1>Well if you were one of the ten, Jim, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>well all that could be you were one of the ten.
<v Speaker 4>I was thinking about this on the drive over today,
<v Speaker 4>and it's interesting, like how how you said, you know,
<v Speaker 4>everything's changed and and I don't even think, like I'm
<v Speaker 4>just trying to think of popular cartoons now, and just
<v Speaker 4>popular cartoons are just so different than they were in
<v Speaker 4>the nineties and two thousands, and.
<v Speaker 3>Like the whole landscape. And we were having this conversation
<v Speaker 3>the other day.
<v Speaker 4>We were talking about how sitcoms have kind of just disappeared,
<v Speaker 4>Like what's a popular sitcom right now? Yeah, the last
<v Speaker 4>time I can think it was like modern.
<v Speaker 6>The rest of development. You get your it's more reality
<v Speaker 6>by sort of sitcoms now where they're talking to the
<v Speaker 6>camera all the time. It's not yet in front of
<v Speaker 6>a live Judeo audience. That just doesn't exist.
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't exist. And I think it kind of went
<v Speaker 4>the like Saturday Morning Cartoons kind of followed the same.
<v Speaker 1>Thing on the airplane everybody watched Friends, yeah, because that
<v Speaker 1>was one of the ones, right.
<v Speaker 4>And what I was thinking about on the drive over
<v Speaker 4>here this morning was it's kind of interesting how, you know,
<v Speaker 4>we've talked about how you guys don't record you know,
<v Speaker 4>shows in a studio altogether anymore. Yeah, Like you know,
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking about, you know, coming to work for this podcast,
<v Speaker 4>and it's kind of interesting how now we're back into
<v Speaker 4>a different studio, you know, a group of people, and
<v Speaker 4>then these characters kind of survive through different mediums.
<v Speaker 1>You know.
<v Speaker 4>Now you hear popular character voices that you guys have
<v Speaker 4>done on podcasts and at conventions, and it's like they're
<v Speaker 4>permeating through different mediums and I don't know. I was
<v Speaker 4>just thinking about it, and it's interesting how it's evolved,
<v Speaker 4>but the characters have evolved with the different medium you know.
<v Speaker 1>They say that things take a swing on the pendulum,
<v Speaker 1>sometimes too far, and sometimes they come back. So I
<v Speaker 1>wonder if maybe it would come back. I mean, if
<v Speaker 1>some producer said, I want to do it like it
<v Speaker 1>used to be done. I want to have everyone in
<v Speaker 1>the studio together. I want some really great riders. I
<v Speaker 1>really want an eleven minute segment and a second eleven
<v Speaker 1>minute segment.
<v Speaker 2>We call that a half an hour.
<v Speaker 1>We call that a half an hour. Yeah, with room
<v Speaker 1>for commercials, yes, which we don't have to have anymore,
<v Speaker 1>but we want them. We like our sponsors on.
<v Speaker 2>This good sponsors.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, we will take good sponsors.
<v Speaker 4>I think animes really moved into the forefront of popular
<v Speaker 4>culture too.
<v Speaker 3>You know, yeah, have you you've done some anime dubbing? Correct?
<v Speaker 1>I've done some I can't talk about yet. I have
<v Speaker 1>a new one on Netflix that just came out called
<v Speaker 1>Rising Impact, and I play a you guessed it, ten
<v Speaker 1>year old boy.
<v Speaker 2>Golf swing It though.
<v Speaker 1>Goode. No, it's a pretty cute little show. And there's
<v Speaker 1>you know, way back as far as Tenshi Muyoh and
<v Speaker 1>rio Oki and Zach Bell and Glitter Force with Candy
<v Speaker 1>and Maya. I've done my fair share of anime and
<v Speaker 1>Sailor Moon. I just finished these three union movies. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I play, Uh, I play the cat like I did
<v Speaker 1>in Curious George.
<v Speaker 3>And I play a lot of what's the cat's name again?
<v Speaker 1>The cat in what Silom, Diana the daughter of Artemis
<v Speaker 1>and Moon on her Yes, yeah, uh, yes, so yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I'm good friends with anime.
<v Speaker 2>I do a lot of it, and.
<v Speaker 1>It's a different what's the right word I'm looking for. Uh,
<v Speaker 1>it's a different what do you get business model? Business
<v Speaker 1>model as an actor, because as an actor, you know,
<v Speaker 1>we go into a screen actor's guild, contract cartoon studio.
<v Speaker 1>We get paid and we get residuals. And it's one
<v Speaker 1>thing anime you don't get that it pays not very much.
<v Speaker 1>But when you go to conventions, the fans are huge.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true, it's sort of those are the residuals.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but there are a lot of fans for anime.
<v Speaker 1>I haven't really watched a lot of it, have you.
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I haven't, and I've been in very little.
<v Speaker 1>When you go to watch, when you watch TV, what
<v Speaker 1>do you watch?
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh. Nowadays we tend to binge watch on certain
<v Speaker 2>shows that are out there.
<v Speaker 1>You know, like binge watching. It's very satisfying. You have
<v Speaker 1>to wait, and you can wait or not, because you
<v Speaker 1>know they make you wait a week you forget.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm the opposite. My wife and I've changed our
<v Speaker 6>viewing habits because we found certain shows. We started watching House. Okay,
<v Speaker 6>we've never seen House. That's not a show you can
<v Speaker 6>binge because it's a lot of quips, quips, quips, clips, clips,
<v Speaker 6>and it can be overbearing. But we now watch a
<v Speaker 6>different show every night of the week. So Monday night
<v Speaker 6>is House night, Tuesday night is this, and we actually
<v Speaker 6>enjoy them more interesting because that's how they were designed
<v Speaker 6>to be viewed. They weren't designed they weren't created to
<v Speaker 6>be binge They were created for wants a weight vieling.
<v Speaker 1>Do you have to write it down? How can you remember?
<v Speaker 6>We just know Tuesday not it's this time? Yeah, I
<v Speaker 6>just remembers not X files not.
<v Speaker 1>That's a very interesting way of approaching it. I don't
<v Speaker 1>know if we'll try it, but I'll consider it.
<v Speaker 6>Binging wasn't a thing in two thousand and two.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, huh.
<v Speaker 1>Unless you had the whole VCR set.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, that's true.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the box set.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the whole thing is should put one in one
<v Speaker 1>disk in after another, or tape in after another.
<v Speaker 2>My mom would record all my original Winny of the
<v Speaker 2>Pooh things, and then she she'd say, well, I sat
<v Speaker 2>down and I watched seven of them out there because
<v Speaker 2>I knew you unions were coming. Well that's good. You
<v Speaker 2>were boning up on the episodes. Yeah yeah, yeah, well
<v Speaker 2>that's good because you know, that's all I do is
<v Speaker 2>sit around talk about winning of the Poop.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you didn't talk about Mama Cummings anywhay near enough, Jim,
<v Speaker 6>I don't think right now.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well there you go. H Youngstown, Youngstown, Ohio. That's
<v Speaker 2>where we're all from. It's a great, great town, great
<v Speaker 2>place to be from.
<v Speaker 1>Uh. Did you ever blow up a car?
<v Speaker 2>Very rarely? Not as much as you think you'd think.
<v Speaker 2>You know that that was by the way, She's asking
<v Speaker 2>this for a very good reason. There is such a thing,
<v Speaker 2>and I have to get Eddie O'Neil and boom boom
<v Speaker 2>on the show one of these days, some of the
<v Speaker 2>guys from Youngstown. But anyway, there was a thing called
<v Speaker 2>a Youngstown tune. Up. Why what was that, Jim, thanks
<v Speaker 2>for asking. It's when you It's when you are dissatisfied
<v Speaker 2>with someone. And what you want to do is just
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and get you a nice long copper wire
<v Speaker 2>and you wrapped that first part around the little red
<v Speaker 2>post on the battery thing. Drop it down inside the car.
<v Speaker 2>Don't want anybody to see it. That's called a warning signal,
<v Speaker 2>and snake it up right behind the back tire, open
<v Speaker 2>up the yeah, the gas and you wrap. Go ahead
<v Speaker 2>and wrap one of your favorite Delco spark plug around there,
<v Speaker 2>drop it down inside. Now, don't anybody ever ever do
<v Speaker 2>this in the history of the world. You ask me,
<v Speaker 2>what happens when you start the car?
<v Speaker 1>When you start the car, mister boom boom, it.
<v Speaker 2>Goes boom like the story person you didn't like, he
<v Speaker 2>goes boom too, boom boom by So yeah, I see
<v Speaker 2>with Devi here I can tell that story and she
<v Speaker 2>makes it sound nice and g rated. But that's called
<v Speaker 2>a Youngstown tune. Up. I can't believe I just copped
<v Speaker 2>to that.
<v Speaker 1>On you didn't. It was just a story you heard.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not like I did it. I hardly ever,
<v Speaker 2>I mean I never.
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, there's a whole other side to Jimmy
<v Speaker 1>that you think.
<v Speaker 2>You know, Nobe not No, I was selling.
<v Speaker 1>No, you were selling pots.
<v Speaker 2>And pants, Potts and pants. Yes, it's coming back to
<v Speaker 2>me now.
<v Speaker 4>So Jimmy Neutron, that's got to be. That's got to
<v Speaker 4>be your most popular character at the conventions when.
<v Speaker 2>You go, you gotta be way it is.
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get pretty here for a minute. Yes, yes,
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you betweet. It used to just be Jimmy
<v Speaker 1>Neutron was the very most popular. But DRACU Laura is
<v Speaker 1>right on there with him.
<v Speaker 3>That's right, that's right.
<v Speaker 1>But we'll talk about Jimmy Neutron because that's been the thing,
<v Speaker 1>like my whole life. You hope for a show that
<v Speaker 1>they know you for, like you're winning the poo the signature,
<v Speaker 1>and that was Jimmy Neutron. And and can we hear
<v Speaker 1>some Oh sure, it's Jimmy Neutron. And I'm gonna be
<v Speaker 1>with Carl Weezer and my friend, Uh, what's is named Sheen?
<v Speaker 1>And we're gonna head over to the candy bar in
<v Speaker 1>my horror craft. Oh oh you can pluto godter? Did
<v Speaker 1>you just poop bolts? Okay? God blast? Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's my favorite of yours.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah he.
<v Speaker 1>Really is, Thank you, Jim. Yeah, he's so much fun to.
<v Speaker 6>Get, so.
<v Speaker 2>Reference ready, he's ready to go, you know what I mean.
<v Speaker 2>It's got that cute little kid atmosphere that everybody just look, he's.
<v Speaker 1>My little boy songs texture because everybody else who auditioned
<v Speaker 1>for him could do their their textured voice with their
<v Speaker 1>gravel and I don't have that. So when I auditioned,
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, I'll do sort of the sideways
<v Speaker 1>voice thing our side. It ended up And you know
<v Speaker 1>when if you listen to women and twelve year old
<v Speaker 1>boys or eleven year old they sound the same. It's
<v Speaker 1>really just the character that you embody.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was the worst thing when my voice was
<v Speaker 2>changing as a kid and I'd answered the phone and
<v Speaker 2>I go hello, and they go, Hi, sal how you doing?
<v Speaker 2>How you doing? I'm not sad, I'm not my mom,
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jimmy. Can't you tell by my Medley voice?
<v Speaker 1>Exactly the boy.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was pain painful.
<v Speaker 3>I don't ever remember having a high voice. My voice
<v Speaker 3>was it was deep.
<v Speaker 1>When I was like really with a deep voice.
<v Speaker 4>I remember what it felt like to scream. That was
<v Speaker 4>like one weird thing because like as a kid, as
<v Speaker 4>a young boy, you can scream like a girl.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but then one day that.
<v Speaker 4>Just goes away, and like you remember the feeling in
<v Speaker 4>your throat, and it's a weird thing to just not
<v Speaker 4>be able to do anymore. It's like, oh, yeah, I
<v Speaker 4>used to be able to like blood curdling scream, and
<v Speaker 4>then one day it's just not Existingay.
<v Speaker 2>Well, at least you don't have to do that much, right.
<v Speaker 1>Luckily they gave Jimmy Neutron to a female who could
<v Speaker 1>sustain the voice for it's been what twenty three years
<v Speaker 1>now because I was pregnant when I got him. But
<v Speaker 1>do you know, people ask you did you?
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Did? I was?
<v Speaker 1>I excited to book such a great role, but we
<v Speaker 1>booked things all the time, and we don't know if
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna launch, if they're gonna become a classics.
<v Speaker 5>You don't know.
<v Speaker 1>There was previous no he was Johnny Quasar and they
<v Speaker 1>were doing a ten minute interstitial. It came to me
<v Speaker 1>they said, here's a VHS tape of it, except for
<v Speaker 1>they had a copyright infringement and they had to move
<v Speaker 1>it Jimmy Neutron. But the animation it was nothing like
<v Speaker 1>I like nothing I'd ever seen, you know. It was
<v Speaker 1>so cool. It was the first CGI cartoon ever. And
<v Speaker 1>when it came out on the ten minute VHS, the
<v Speaker 1>VCR what do you call it a VHS, I was like,
<v Speaker 1>this looks really good.
<v Speaker 2>I like it.
<v Speaker 1>I hope they do something with it. So they made
<v Speaker 1>another ten minutor and another ten minutor and then dada,
<v Speaker 1>we got to do a feature. I thought, well, that's
<v Speaker 1>fun to do a feature film. Of course, I don't
<v Speaker 1>really watch any Star Trek, so I didn't know all
<v Speaker 1>the great people they were in the feature with me.
<v Speaker 1>But it was super fun to do a feature and
<v Speaker 1>then a series and then you know, one thing after another. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but when you book it, you don't go, ah, I'm
<v Speaker 1>a new voice of Mickey Mouse. It's not like that, right, right,
<v Speaker 1>just another well you never know if it's pack.
<v Speaker 2>Hasn't gone anywhere yet, yeahcause they haven't done one.
<v Speaker 1>But I think the combination of all the really amazing
<v Speaker 1>voice actors, and sometimes you just get a magic chemistry,
<v Speaker 1>you know that just works, and between the John Davis,
<v Speaker 1>the producer, creator, and between you know, the cast, Rob
<v Speaker 1>and Jeff Garcia, Mark DeCarlo and Megan Kavanov, Carol and
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence and me and just there's something about the chemistry
<v Speaker 1>and the writers.
<v Speaker 2>Good stuff. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm grateful every day.
<v Speaker 2>For Jimmy chron That was absolutely yeah. Yeah, yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>imagine he's popular at cons.
<v Speaker 6>He is.
<v Speaker 1>And you know what's very cool after last year, after
<v Speaker 1>twenty two years, it happened that Funko made a pop
<v Speaker 1>pop of Jimmy Neutron.
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, what took him so long?
<v Speaker 1>Hello, I don't know, Funko, but thanks make another one. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>We uh, we rate ourselves on how many pops there
<v Speaker 1>are out there of our cartoon character.
<v Speaker 2>That's right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I might be up to five us.
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty good, all right. Hey, you just never know.
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping that next year I'll have another one to
<v Speaker 1>add to it. But we can't talk about a lot
<v Speaker 1>of the stuff we do, can we.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, until it's done and everybody else knows about it. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>But that's okay because they'll know so uh so, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Neutron wanted to ask whoo a couple of things?
<v Speaker 2>Oh, didy, oh diddy? Now okay, so excuse me.
<v Speaker 1>Uh who are you there? Oh? Yes, hi, Oh it's
<v Speaker 1>it's Jimmy Neutron. I'm sure you don't know me, but uh,
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to synthesize a synthetic honey, and I
<v Speaker 1>wanted to know what your favorite characteristics of it were
<v Speaker 1>so that I could work on it in my lap.
<v Speaker 7>I don't know what sympathetic honey is, but it sounds
<v Speaker 7>very tasty.
<v Speaker 1>Well, uh, what's your favorite part about the taste of honey? Pooh?
<v Speaker 2>The part where I taste the honey?
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Ah? And do you find it's a problem having
<v Speaker 1>it be so sticky? Because I was thinking I could
<v Speaker 1>create a honey that wouldn't be sticky, that we could
<v Speaker 1>just like slide off like oil, not sticky.
<v Speaker 7>But I like it when only the sticky pot is left,
<v Speaker 7>because you see, that means I've had it all Son't
<v Speaker 7>leave the sticky.
<v Speaker 1>All right, pooh, I'm gonna work on it anyway because
<v Speaker 1>I don't like to clean up the mess.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't blame it because stickers do not like honey,
<v Speaker 2>not like pooh bears. It's dicky, sticky, gooey stuff. It's
<v Speaker 2>only fit for halfalumps and wool olds and the occasional
<v Speaker 2>neutron or no, tigger.
<v Speaker 1>I wondered if you would like to have a race
<v Speaker 1>with me and my hovercraft.
<v Speaker 2>Uh, tickers don't have it.
<v Speaker 1>Do tiggers run fast?
<v Speaker 5>No?
<v Speaker 2>But they could boats their little bototski's off, So let's
<v Speaker 2>do that. I don't know where the bototski is located,
<v Speaker 2>but I'm ready to dance it off or bouts it off.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, you know, bubble trouble is the way of
<v Speaker 1>the future. There you go. You've got your neutron poo, Yes.
<v Speaker 2>You do.
<v Speaker 3>Got the convo?
<v Speaker 1>Have we missed anything?
<v Speaker 2>I don't think.
<v Speaker 1>So.
<v Speaker 4>The last thing is the voice swap. We do a
<v Speaker 4>little we do a little voice swap game. It's similar, similar,
<v Speaker 4>but yes, so Jim will do it.
<v Speaker 3>Jim will do like a quote.
<v Speaker 4>As Poo, and then you'll do the same quote as
<v Speaker 4>jimmy neutron, for example, and then switch like then you'll
<v Speaker 4>do the line as jimmy neutron, and then Jim will
<v Speaker 4>do another character.

<v Speaker 2>I do you know I know what you're talking about now,
<v Speaker 2>I think, or maybe I don't. But for a while
<v Speaker 2>and somebody else told me this. I was number six
<v Speaker 2>on a star meter, and it had nothing to do
<v Speaker 2>with me. I just so happened to be in a
<v Speaker 2>bunch of movies in which I either sang a song
<v Speaker 2>or you know, past gas or did whatever it was.
<v Speaker 2>I know you wasn't.
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about the highest earners, the highest Yeah, income,
<v Speaker 1>that's a different meter. But yes, when they say this
<v Speaker 1>person's worth this much money, you know you've never started.
<v Speaker 2>Lied, by the way, about the money party, Okay, Samuel L.
<v Speaker 2>Jackson was number one. They weren't lying about him. Me
<v Speaker 2>is number seven. Pretty big lie, pretty big lie, big
<v Speaker 2>fat lie. Yeah. I mistake my bank account for Sam
<v Speaker 2>Jackson's all the time.
<v Speaker 1>Me too.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Then he hits me over the head and tells
