<v Speaker 3>heard you talk about old shows. You like old shows too, write. Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>walk to him and he'd sit down here. He talk

<v Speaker 3>me too, you know, that's why.
<v Speaker 1>I like you, me too. Yeah, I'm very old and nostalgic.
<v Speaker 1>That's that's that's well, my third generation of you know,
<v Speaker 1>but a pool generation. I've said this before, is only
<v Speaker 1>like three years. What because well, because they then there's
<v Speaker 1>brand new fresh kids. Oh oh yes, you know, it's
<v Speaker 1>not like they go anywhere. They're still there, but here's
<v Speaker 1>a fresh crop.
<v Speaker 3>And what's funny is like even with Adventures in Odyssey,
<v Speaker 3>like because the generations grew up, had their kids, you've
<v Speaker 3>had twenty Townsend. Oh sure, they grew up, had had
<v Speaker 3>their kids. They grew up, and they're having their kids.
<v Speaker 3>It's like when I walk in, Oh, I got to
<v Speaker 3>just tell you this is really funny.
<v Speaker 1>There.
<v Speaker 3>So I'm in an elevator. This just happened. I'm in
<v Speaker 3>the elevator and I have them my Adventures in Odyssey
<v Speaker 3>cat just like that one and you run over there, Chris,
<v Speaker 3>only he says, honesty. And I'm standing in there. There's
<v Speaker 3>this big old dude right next to me. It's like
<v Speaker 3>a full elevator of people. You know, you get a
<v Speaker 3>lot of a lot of people, kind of crowded in
<v Speaker 3>a little claustrophobic. And he's like right next to me,
<v Speaker 3>and he he's got he's got like this cut off shirt,
<v Speaker 3>a couple of tats on his arms, you know, and
<v Speaker 3>he's standing stating it next to me. He goes, I
<v Speaker 3>remember that show. I remember that show. In gruff voice,
<v Speaker 3>I remember that show you. I used to listen to it.
<v Speaker 3>I went oh, and I just kind of looked at
<v Speaker 3>him and it's like he's huge and he's not that
<v Speaker 3>typical kid looking, you know, and so I just went, no,
<v Speaker 3>don't do it. Don't do it. It's crowded. And then the
<v Speaker 3>lady in the corner goes, she goes, yes, I had
<v Speaker 3>the cassettes. I had the cassettes of the show You.
<v Speaker 3>And I thought, so he's the I'm not gonna do it.
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna do anything. And I just held it
<v Speaker 3>together thought and then the door opens up and the
<v Speaker 3>people start walking out and I go, Hi, this is Chris,
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to Adventures in.
<v Speaker 1>Odyssey, and he goes, what what what that?
<v Speaker 3>I knew?
<v Speaker 1>I knew you.
<v Speaker 3>He turned around.
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's great. Yeah, perfect, that was perfect. So you
<v Speaker 1>didn't get to sign an autograph.
<v Speaker 3>I didn't do nothing. I put my car with.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah. Oh god.
<v Speaker 3>But you know, I've been calling kid kids because that's
<v Speaker 3>one of the things they do the best part of
<v Speaker 3>this job is they have me called kids and it's
<v Speaker 3>really sweet because a lot of kids need somebody to
<v Speaker 3>talk to. And I'm not a psychologist. I'm Chris who
<v Speaker 3>they've listened to for years and they trust me. So
<v Speaker 3>I'm I'm a trusted person that got Chris for Odyssey.
<v Speaker 3>And so when I call them and they go, Okay,
<v Speaker 3>this is the kid you're calling. He's this years old.
<v Speaker 3>It might be his birthday or his dog died or something,
<v Speaker 3>you know, meaningful. Sure, and it's it's so sweet because
<v Speaker 3>I just go, Hi, is Michael Lair. This is Chris,
<v Speaker 3>and they are so excited. He goes, Mom, it's Chris.
<v Speaker 1>Click so excited. He just tug up, get back on here.
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give you a hell, now, tell your dad,
<v Speaker 1>get on the phone.
<v Speaker 3>But they talk about me. They pour out their hearts,
<v Speaker 3>they talk about their grandma, kind of me friends at school.
<v Speaker 1>Which is really Yeah, it's instant familiarity, isn't it.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. They trust me and I've been around and I
<v Speaker 3>give them good things to think about, and sometimes they
<v Speaker 3>give them little scriptures to think about. And it's like,
<v Speaker 3>there's nothing better than connecting with kids. That is my lane.
<v Speaker 3>I would just assume at a party, you're going to
<v Speaker 3>see a group of adults in one room and I'm
<v Speaker 3>going to be in the other room with the kids
<v Speaker 3>on the floor.
<v Speaker 1>That's a puppet show.
<v Speaker 3>Puppet show. Speaking of puppet show, I do have a
<v Speaker 3>puppet in my trunk as we speak.
<v Speaker 1>In your trunk?
<v Speaker 3>That's it?
<v Speaker 1>What is that?
<v Speaker 3>What are we crazy?
<v Speaker 1>This is so? What are you doing with this puppet
<v Speaker 1>in your puppet in your trunk?
<v Speaker 3>Well, I have this big blue puppet in his spot.

<v Speaker 3>of mine.

<v Speaker 3>long arms, and I can I can move him. And
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a ventriloquist by any means. But when he tucks,
<v Speaker 3>he tucks with his voice.
<v Speaker 2>You should have brought him in.
<v Speaker 3>He's in my car. Wait a minute, Okay, and so Charlie,
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe I'm telling you. Could you just cut
<v Speaker 3>this part out later? No, he is in my No

<v Speaker 3>a kid's really having a tough time, Charlie comes out.
<v Speaker 2>That's so sweet.

<v Speaker 1>You're trying to make him double.
<v Speaker 2>Charlie's okay, now my face actually is.
<v Speaker 3>He's so handsome. Okay. So originally from high school, Like
<v Speaker 3>we've all got our our history, how we started. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I was in high school, and I remember when there
<v Speaker 3>was like a pep rally, you know, to get the
<v Speaker 3>games gone. You know, you'd get like the football games
<v Speaker 3>and there would be like a pep rally, come out, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>and then you come out, you get the kids all excited,
<v Speaker 3>and they were my friends, and I don't know, I
<v Speaker 3>just whatever they needed. I seemed to put on a
<v Speaker 3>football helmet backwards, come out, do these crazy characters. And
<v Speaker 3>it was a basketball game. I'd come out and I'd
<v Speaker 3>do another character, and it's like I really was just
<v Speaker 3>that was me in high school because I couldn't do
<v Speaker 3>math and still.
<v Speaker 1>Can't, well me neither, okay, good, yeah, but they have
<v Speaker 1>people for that, don't worry about it, and so.
<v Speaker 3>I had to kind of fake my way through high school.
<v Speaker 3>So I did a lot of acting in high school
<v Speaker 3>and doing voices and stuff.
<v Speaker 1>And were you on speech team? Speech team?
<v Speaker 3>I switched pressure to because you have to stay focused.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, I wasn't on the speech team. I did
<v Speaker 1>individual events. I didn't debate or anything.
<v Speaker 3>You're on the speech team, Yeah, humorous of your speeches.
<v Speaker 1>No, it was you. It was cut from Guys and
<v Speaker 1>Dolls the movie. And then I did another one, No
<v Speaker 1>Time for Sergeants, where I did all all the characters.
<v Speaker 1>And another one was called Green Pastures, and it was
<v Speaker 1>this was and I didn't even know it was controversial,
<v Speaker 1>but it was all. It was a movie from the
<v Speaker 1>nineteen twenties and it was an all black cast and
<v Speaker 1>and uh you.
<v Speaker 4>Know God was now vela down there from Georgium. Now look, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>I won't get that mean you love any And I went, well, lord,
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you what.
<v Speaker 1>And one was like Richard Priory. And it never occurred
<v Speaker 1>to me in a million years as somebody would be
<v Speaker 1>taking offense at that. I just thought it was the
<v Speaker 1>funny voices and.
<v Speaker 3>We just laughed. Yeah, oh that's funny. So no time
<v Speaker 3>for sorry. That was a classic movie of.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, hey, sergeant. Yeah, And I think I think Gomer
<v Speaker 1>Pyle was based on that is this thing on?
<v Speaker 3>I remember throwing that one scene up in the plane.
<v Speaker 3>He was talking into the thing, hello, Hello, is this
<v Speaker 3>thing on and it was like a whole movie. That's
<v Speaker 3>all I remember. So it was great scene. I didn't
<v Speaker 3>do that part, you know, that's that would have been YouTube.
<v Speaker 1>You know I used to do that though.
<v Speaker 2>So how did you first get approached excuse me? Oh sorry,
<v Speaker 2>how did you first get approached to do the voice
<v Speaker 2>of Barbie?
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember, you don't remember.
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, wow.
<v Speaker 3>Wow, I must finish something, because right out of doing
<v Speaker 3>high school, I did something you did. Oh, it might
<v Speaker 3>not be the same timing. It was something to do
<v Speaker 3>with cookwar. Did you ever sell cook wear?
<v Speaker 1>Oh, pops and pants?
<v Speaker 3>Yes?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I did it
<v Speaker 1>for weeks, maybe a couple.
<v Speaker 2>Of like physically selling and pants, like the voice the voice, No, no.
<v Speaker 1>No it was it was uh and knives cutting knives?
<v Speaker 1>Well well no, but it was, yeah, but it was.
<v Speaker 1>And let's see, there was cook there was pots and pans. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>we got a box, yeah, a bunch of stuff. Do
<v Speaker 1>the door like you go to do sometimes door to door,
<v Speaker 1>but you'd go to an office and not walk in
<v Speaker 1>with all these these knives, sets and different things. And
<v Speaker 1>I go, who wanted the pizza? And everybody look at
<v Speaker 1>me like, ha, just kidding. You know, we're clearing out
<v Speaker 1>the warehouse here from from the home show last weekend show.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, anyway, yeah and it and you know, we're
<v Speaker 1>just costing these out, like take a look at these. Now,
<v Speaker 1>you can get these anywhere for eighty bucks, but you
<v Speaker 1>know it's just too much, you know. Anyway, we're just
<v Speaker 1>we're giving away for twenty bucks a pop.
<v Speaker 5>Oh oh my gosh, hold on, let me let me
<v Speaker 5>get yeah, yeah, no, I gave him the knives, but yeah,
<v Speaker 5>and it was great.
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh.
<v Speaker 2>I knew.
<v Speaker 3>I thought about this because out of high school they
<v Speaker 3>got a long time I did. I was thinking out
<v Speaker 3>the way here. I thought, how did I bring up
<v Speaker 3>the pants story? And so they hired me to demonstrate Cookwaar.
<v Speaker 3>They would take me into the new stores like J. C.
<v Speaker 3>Pennies that was a big store back there and stuff
<v Speaker 3>and they brand new story and they would build me
<v Speaker 3>a stage with Cookwaar hanging around me. And they hired
<v Speaker 3>me to demonstrate the cookware in the store. It was
<v Speaker 3>an exciting moment. Stage was built, the pans were lit.
<v Speaker 3>It was like I thought I was in show business.
<v Speaker 3>I thought, what am I doing here. This is horrible.
<v Speaker 3>And so they said, go ahead, You're gonna sell the
<v Speaker 3>cook wear any way you can. So I did, and
<v Speaker 3>I got pants and I burned eggs in them, and
<v Speaker 3>I burned cheese to show how they slide right out.
<v Speaker 3>I was showing the oaster cook wear.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, oh yeah, that's famous.
<v Speaker 3>And I was flipping eggs in the air, and I
<v Speaker 3>was improvising. And you know, because every time I sold something,
<v Speaker 3>i'd make money, so I got I was making good
<v Speaker 3>I was making good money sell the cook wear, and
<v Speaker 3>I was improvising, which is what I'm gonna it was
<v Speaker 3>the best education to improvising you can get.
<v Speaker 1>To sell cook ware, to sell cook were let's see,
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have seen that one coming.
<v Speaker 3>I made a show out of it, you know. And
<v Speaker 3>one lady comes up to me, and I remember this
<v Speaker 3>from all these years. She had on a straw hat
<v Speaker 3>and she had really long braid's kind of a Willie nilsonel.
<v Speaker 3>She was rough and gruff, and she she had like
<v Speaker 3>the straw hat. These long braids are kind of like
<v Speaker 3>an overall's. And she comes up to me and she
<v Speaker 3>had like a missing tooth in front, and she I
<v Speaker 3>just I'll never get it. She goes. Everybody's listening and
<v Speaker 3>she goes, I wouldn't cook on those those shiny teflon pans.
<v Speaker 3>And everyone goes and she goes, if you really want
<v Speaker 3>to cook, you're gonna cook with a cast iron pan.
<v Speaker 3>And that's how you cook. You don't wash them out.
<v Speaker 3>You just season them, and you keep the seasoning the
<v Speaker 3>pan and you never wash them.
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, okay.
<v Speaker 3>She was priceless, and everybody stopped and it was quiet,
<v Speaker 3>and I just memorized her every bit of her. I see,
<v Speaker 3>you're going into my back of tricks. I just thought,
<v Speaker 3>I go, what is your name? She goes, My name
<v Speaker 3>is still a Dela rue.
<v Speaker 1>Stella, Deela rose Stella, Dela.
<v Speaker 3>Years later, somebody says, can you do like this country
<v Speaker 3>lady with the bag take off?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, there you go.
<v Speaker 3>I did hear so many times, thinking thank you, Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>you crazy lady.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, we've all got those. I had my aunt Grace.
<v Speaker 1>She was in cartoons and my tiger, My my tiger,
<v Speaker 1>my tugboat captain was in a few cartoons. We were
<v Speaker 1>just talking about that earlier. Yeah, you know, you hold
<v Speaker 1>onto those characters. You never know when you can use them,
<v Speaker 1>never know, and you can bring them out.
<v Speaker 3>The best characters are the ones you meet, you know,
<v Speaker 3>the aunts and uncles. That's you. Oh yeah, it's all.
<v Speaker 3>It's your neighbors and your you know. Of course, your
<v Speaker 3>family doesn't like it because they think it's insulting because
<v Speaker 3>you're doing them and they're going, I don't eat like that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I don't sound of goddamn thing like yeah,
<v Speaker 1>you sound exactly like that. He's out. That's the problem.
<v Speaker 1>That's that's why you don't like to hear it.
<v Speaker 3>You know. I gotta tell you he is the best
<v Speaker 3>disguised person ever because you think of him, it is.
<v Speaker 3>He's like a diamond with multifacet It turns and glitters
<v Speaker 3>because he's so gifted and talented. But in the core
<v Speaker 3>of that diamond is this little beating heart. You're rooting
<v Speaker 3>my mother like that beating heart. That's so kind and
<v Speaker 3>so so kind and so puky. No, it's so kind
<v Speaker 3>of He loves people so deeply that all this is
<v Speaker 3>the glitter. What he really is is inside of it.
<v Speaker 3>He is the Pooh. You know, you can't play Pooh.
<v Speaker 3>You could do voices till the cows come home. You
<v Speaker 3>can be any character you want, but there's something that
<v Speaker 3>comes deep within a person that is in their their
<v Speaker 3>spirit that says, I am kind and I'm good and
<v Speaker 3>I you know. And you can't go to college for it.
<v Speaker 3>You can't go to workshops somethings. It comes from a deep,
<v Speaker 3>deep core of who you are. And that's why he's
<v Speaker 3>made it through all these years. He's phenomenally talent talented,
<v Speaker 3>but it's not who he is internally.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not abdominal ladies and gentlemen. I don't.
<v Speaker 3>Here's what he is.
<v Speaker 1>I'm flabbergasted.
<v Speaker 3>I got it. Jim, bring the close up on this one. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>Jim is the cast iron. Now let me get to
<v Speaker 3>something here. He He's not the shiny tefla newbie pan
<v Speaker 3>that looks good and shiny and it flips out the
<v Speaker 3>eggs and looking good. He's the cast iron, full of
<v Speaker 3>seasons of life that you don't wash. That he does
<v Speaker 3>shower though you don't wash. The seasons are in him,
<v Speaker 3>and when he works, all those seasons come to the
<v Speaker 3>surface and they come out. Because he's sow his life stories,
<v Speaker 3>all the things he's been through, all the things that
<v Speaker 3>he is is in the pan, and when it's heated
<v Speaker 3>up to work and he does his thing, all these
<v Speaker 3>flavors and seasons come to the top of.
<v Speaker 2>The fanaphor cast iron. Wow, really good metaphor.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.
<v Speaker 2>I totally agree with that.
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Chris. See, now, you guys don't know, because Chris,
<v Speaker 3>he just does look good over there.
<v Speaker 2>He is.
<v Speaker 3>He's got the deepest heart too.
<v Speaker 1>He's like, that's right.
<v Speaker 3>We've all heard Chris ask questions, right, Chris asked some
<v Speaker 3>of the questions.
<v Speaker 1>You go, hey, oh that's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, that's insightful.
<v Speaker 3>I didn't think of that, that's right. Yeah, But I
<v Speaker 3>never answered any of your questions as.
<v Speaker 1>What I'm going to do it this one. I was
<v Speaker 1>not expecting that, but I'll take it. I'm you know,
<v Speaker 1>it's true.
<v Speaker 3>And I had this picture of it. There was one
<v Speaker 3>casting director that I met and I will never mention
<v Speaker 3>her name. She's one of my favorites. And I had
<v Speaker 3>a picture of her once that was so sweet. She
<v Speaker 3>was going through a real rough patch and I just
<v Speaker 3>whenever you go into the studio with her, she is
<v Speaker 3>just she's just she's so fun to be around, and
<v Speaker 3>she's like she reminds me, this like this big yellow balloon,
<v Speaker 3>and it's like when she works, it's just like people
<v Speaker 3>just gather. She's just this. She's happy and she's encouraging
<v Speaker 3>and I picture as this yellow blue and sometimes the
<v Speaker 3>life thinks that she's been through that she shared with me.
<v Speaker 3>I go, oh, it's like somebody has taken her balloon
<v Speaker 3>and pulled it down. And sometimes you know, like they'll
<v Speaker 3>just push you underwater and hold you down going through
<v Speaker 3>and you're going through tough stuff. I said, don't let that.
<v Speaker 3>You're not going to stay there. That's not who you are.
<v Speaker 3>I said, You're going to always surface. And I didn't
<v Speaker 3>realize I was just kind of speaking that because that's
<v Speaker 3>what I was seeing in my mind and just start
<v Speaker 3>crying and I went, thank you. So all that to
<v Speaker 3>say is m.
<v Speaker 1>He gets just for do we know who that is? Yes?
<v Speaker 3>You do?
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I can't tell you.
<v Speaker 2>You ago, you can tell us.
<v Speaker 1>After you can tell us, we'll tell you, but you
<v Speaker 1>raise it.
<v Speaker 3>But I gotta say this. I gotta say this. I've
<v Speaker 3>been doing voiceover for over forty years. I'm an old crow,
<v Speaker 3>but it's this whole business has changed to me because
<v Speaker 3>it's not the journey is not just to get the
<v Speaker 3>gigs anymore. It's to get connected to people there. People
<v Speaker 3>were like, you guys are like good books. How can
<v Speaker 3>you not open a book if somebody and just go, hey,
<v Speaker 3>tell me about yourself, you know, all the different chapters,
<v Speaker 3>all the things you've been through, the rough, crummy stuff,
<v Speaker 3>the good stuff. It's like, we're all great books. And
<v Speaker 3>I'm just I guess I'm just kind of barfing this
<v Speaker 3>all up because I could go through my credits with
<v Speaker 3>you guys, but it's not that with me anymore. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I'm more excited to be here with you guys than
<v Speaker 3>talk about how did this?
<v Speaker 1>They did that?
<v Speaker 6>Oh?
<v Speaker 1>Sure, that's that's that's good.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I always I always say, you know, usually well
<v Speaker 2>before we get started. Is you know, I feel like
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have to tell you, and I was right.
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I tell people to think about this
<v Speaker 2>like rather than an interview, and you know, you see
<v Speaker 2>people who kind of fall into the default interview mode,
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's it. I think that's where you know,
<v Speaker 2>I try and step in and you know, I've done
<v Speaker 2>my research and try and direct it in a little
<v Speaker 2>bit of a different path than people have heard before,
<v Speaker 2>and I know not everybody listens to everything.
<v Speaker 3>Because you don't. It doesn't sound like you're sitting there
<v Speaker 3>trying to dream up the next You're just like a
<v Speaker 3>little bit of a stream that breaks out from the river.
<v Speaker 3>And it's like we go a different way. And it's
<v Speaker 3>like in they're insightful questions. Every time you ask something,
<v Speaker 3>I go, yeah, that's something i'd want to know about somebody.
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's I'm sorry to cut you off. Sorry, Well,
<v Speaker 2>it's because I'm genuinely interested in the people that we interview,
<v Speaker 2>and like, you know, even people that we don't you know,
<v Speaker 2>for example, who just left Carolina. You know, I don't
<v Speaker 2>know much about her career or anything like that, but
<v Speaker 2>just like I like having conversation with people, even before
<v Speaker 2>this job. You know, I'm a very conversational I could
<v Speaker 2>strike up a conversation with anybody. When I was in
<v Speaker 2>high school, you know, like I didn't have a clique.
<v Speaker 2>I felt like, you know, I wasn't a part of
<v Speaker 2>the jocks or the theater kids or the you know,
<v Speaker 2>the bookworms or any I had friends in every single group.
<v Speaker 2>And I would kind of go around, you know, and
<v Speaker 2>like I always say, you know, I never had like
<v Speaker 2>truly deep friends. Because of that, I had a lot
<v Speaker 2>of acquaintances, you know, a lot of people I stayed
<v Speaker 2>in touch with over the years, over the years. And
<v Speaker 2>that's not to say I don't have good friends, you know,
<v Speaker 2>but not in the same manner as you know some
<v Speaker 2>people who you know had three friends since third grade
<v Speaker 2>and you know they're retiring together and you know, having
<v Speaker 2>families together and all that. But what's really interesting that
<v Speaker 2>you said was how this industry is not about getting
<v Speaker 2>gigs anymore. It's about connecting with people. And I think
<v Speaker 2>that's so apparent in the twenty twenty, since the pandemic
<v Speaker 2>and with the with that massive explosion of convention.
<v Speaker 3>Timing for this. This is the cast iron pan with
<v Speaker 3>the season and he's the perfect it's the perfect layout
<v Speaker 3>in the perfect the perfect. But you put on him
<v Speaker 3>seasons in there and he's right. But he is the
<v Speaker 3>he's trusted, you know. And it makes sense that you
<v Speaker 3>toured together because this is a good pairing.
<v Speaker 1>You know.
<v Speaker 3>You get this goofy guy.
<v Speaker 1>The new guardy. I'll say it there there, I'll take
<v Speaker 1>I'll take a hit. I'll dive on that grenade for you.
<v Speaker 1>Chris don't you worry. I'm fine, man, Look I'm okay.
<v Speaker 3>Cut that part out, to cut that part.

<v Speaker 3>I mean I do listen to a lot of podcasts
<v Speaker 3>and interviews, and what's interesting to me isn't about the
<v Speaker 3>six thousand voices. I don't mean to do that in
<v Speaker 3>a disrespectful way.
<v Speaker 1>No, no, but I love but go ahead, I'm kidding.
<v Speaker 1>I made that up. That's see, it's comedy humor, made
<v Speaker 1>it up. Didn't expect that funny. Talk about your funny.
<v Speaker 3>But for me, it's like growing up as a kid.
<v Speaker 3>What was funny to me? I thought I wanted to
<v Speaker 3>be Lucy. I want to be Lucy or Carol Burnett
<v Speaker 3>or yeah, I mean Jerry Lewis. I love Jerry Lewis.
<v Speaker 3>It's like, hm, that's what I thought I was gonna go.
<v Speaker 3>But then I started in San Diego with Nancy Washburn. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>God bless her, Yes, And I was so green. I
<v Speaker 3>walked into her office. She was this big San Diego
<v Speaker 3>agent and sit behind a desk and I was a
<v Speaker 3>little chrissy with the stars in my eyes. And she said, well,
<v Speaker 3>we got Junior.
<v Speaker 1>What do you do?
<v Speaker 3>And I went, I just broke into doing all these
<v Speaker 3>little skits and voices, and I did an impression of seagulls.
<v Speaker 1>She always that's pretty good.
<v Speaker 3>You don't I did this seagull thing and Nancy just
<v Speaker 3>looks at me. She goes, I don't know what we're
<v Speaker 3>gonna do with you, but we're gonna make money.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there you go. That's a good thing to hear.
<v Speaker 1>And she got me doing commercials.
<v Speaker 3>I was doing all these commercials.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, well, that's where you and I first met,
<v Speaker 1>first down San Diego. I lived in Corona, so I
<v Speaker 1>was right between l A and UH and San Diego.
<v Speaker 3>He was so good. We were one session and I said, Jim,
<v Speaker 3>how they have one word? I have one word? What
<v Speaker 3>are we gonna do?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>And you said bring that camera in again. You guys,
<v Speaker 3>you make that one word quite.
<v Speaker 1>Nice age advice. Oh no shit, you know part my French.
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's good advice, Jim.
<v Speaker 3>I was under such pressure. Okay, my one word and
<v Speaker 3>in the script everybody's reading. It's when we read together
<v Speaker 3>his groups, you know, because my one word and I
<v Speaker 3>was just like it just blurted out so loud that
<v Speaker 3>everybody went like, wait, calm down. You know, we know
<v Speaker 3>that's your part. But it was the funniest moment because
<v Speaker 3>you were trying to help little Chrissy.
<v Speaker 1>No, well, thank you.
<v Speaker 2>Well.
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's always I've always whenever somebody asked me
<v Speaker 1>for advice, and they never do. But I tell them anyway,
<v Speaker 1>not true. I always say, give them too much, give
<v Speaker 1>them too much, give them more than you think they need,
<v Speaker 1>because it's easier to pull back than it is to
<v Speaker 1>add on if it ain't there. Yeah, you know, if
<v Speaker 1>you you just don't have enough gas in the tank
<v Speaker 1>for this that or the ether thing. You know, start
<v Speaker 1>off too much. They go, okay, easy, now I want
<v Speaker 1>a little less you know, pie in the face. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>because you can do that, that's.
<v Speaker 3>Your that is the magic of you. You were like,
<v Speaker 3>you know, they don't have to go give me more.
<v Speaker 3>They have to go, that's good. Let's see what else
<v Speaker 3>you do. And you go, oh, that twenty thousand over here.
<v Speaker 3>You know it's true because I kids ask me all
<v Speaker 3>the time, I'm going to do something that's going to
<v Speaker 3>look really ridiculous. But what's new that I say? A
<v Speaker 3>lot of my characters I find because I'm teaching them
<v Speaker 3>how to be silly and you know, fearless. And I say,
<v Speaker 3>in my throat, I have certain sounds that I make.
<v Speaker 3>This is not going into the deep acting part of it,
<v Speaker 3>but I said, way down, and here is my old
<v Speaker 3>lady sounds, and I lose that real gravely thing. And
<v Speaker 3>then there is everyboy here. I start to make her
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of a younger grandma. She's up in here,
<v Speaker 3>and when she steps, she's like this, and then she
<v Speaker 3>goes up in my throat, she's kind of a well,
<v Speaker 3>she's kind of a young mom right about here. I
<v Speaker 3>know how to find my young mom. And appears she
<v Speaker 3>starts to get well, no, she Barbie's by here. Cool,
<v Speaker 3>here's Barbie by right here. She's younger. Get younger's up here,
<v Speaker 3>and then they kind of clutch my doat and Hi,
<v Speaker 3>I'm a bug I'm up in here. And then he's
<v Speaker 3>got a cold. He's kind of a bug. This is
<v Speaker 3>really bad. You guys are gonna think I'm crazy. Kids
<v Speaker 3>think it's funny. They're holding their throats and it's like
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I'm connecting with them in a simple
<v Speaker 3>way because I can't tell them that your character has
<v Speaker 3>to be deep and where do they live? And they
<v Speaker 3>just want the silliness of what I do? And hmm,
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm done now can I go? No?
<v Speaker 2>That was great?
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's good. You know people, because everybody wants to well,
<v Speaker 1>how do you do?
<v Speaker 3>What you do?
<v Speaker 1>How do you do? How do you what? What should
<v Speaker 1>I do?
<v Speaker 3>You know?
<v Speaker 1>Everybody tells me and the kiss of death everybody tells
<v Speaker 1>me I have a great voice.
<v Speaker 2>Do that.
<v Speaker 1>That's because you're talking like a DJ and aut I
<v Speaker 1>saw like Patrick Warburt Accident.
<v Speaker 3>God, you sound handsome, handsome voice. Yeah, you know, I
<v Speaker 3>got to say this though, this is interesting.
<v Speaker 1>I have a face for a voiceover. You know that.
<v Speaker 3>You've got a gorgeous wife.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, his wife? Is that your mother they have?
<v Speaker 3>Oh? She is just beautiful.
<v Speaker 1>Yes.
<v Speaker 3>And you guys, when you do things together, I think
<v Speaker 3>it's really cute. You want to do more things together.
<v Speaker 3>I just got a vibe for that, you know. So
<v Speaker 3>you guys are really kick. She's funny.
<v Speaker 1>She got us the jokes.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the jokes. That's just a little off.
<v Speaker 1>To She's a good foil. We play off each other. Well, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's really a beautiful thing.
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say that back to Nancy, who
<v Speaker 3>had got me started in commercials. I this right before
<v Speaker 3>I started to go into voiceover. She would send me
<v Speaker 3>at commercials and I was doing a lot of commercials
<v Speaker 3>at the time.
<v Speaker 7>I was doing like a lot of dumb LUNs, you know,
<v Speaker 7>having giggled, you know, it's just really so I was
<v Speaker 7>a bank teller, and I was a dumb bank teller,
<v Speaker 7>you know.
<v Speaker 3>And she was I got this one commercial audition for you.
<v Speaker 3>I never forgot it. She goes, it's it's for a lawnmower,
<v Speaker 3>and I went perfect.
<v Speaker 2>My agent actually just messaged me yesterday and said, do
<v Speaker 2>you have a lawnmower? I got a John Deere commercial
<v Speaker 2>for you. I can ask to use my neighbors.
<v Speaker 3>Sure, yeah, this is my competition, my lawnmower competition over here.
<v Speaker 3>Oh god, So she says, there's this lawnmower commercial, and
<v Speaker 3>it's a man writing a lawnmower, the sit down crime
<v Speaker 3>where you're kind of tooling around.
<v Speaker 1>You know, and John Deere.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, John Deere, she says. But the whole premise of
<v Speaker 3>it is it's a woman. Really, this is okay, this
<v Speaker 3>is back away. So she's a woman writing the lawnmower,
<v Speaker 3>and the whole scene is for her to at the end,
<v Speaker 3>she's man driving it.
<v Speaker 1>Look good?
<v Speaker 3>How good I am on this loan. She takes off
<v Speaker 3>her hat, her and her hair tumbles. I'm a woman.
<v Speaker 3>So the whole thing that's the old school, you know,
<v Speaker 3>It's like even women can drive the John Deere.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>So at the commercial, Nancy, if you're out there, Nancy
<v Speaker 3>told me to dress as a man for the commercial.
<v Speaker 3>She I want you to put on man's.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that would have been no problem. They would
<v Speaker 1>have instant they thought you were Oh wait, I worked
<v Speaker 1>it sure.
<v Speaker 3>So I put on man's shirt, gloves so you could
<v Speaker 3>see my mans wear a hat, kind of a straw
<v Speaker 3>hat like Stella Bella Rose. And I went to the audition.
<v Speaker 3>This is when you used to go in in character,
<v Speaker 3>in character, and the casting people on the room, remember
<v Speaker 3>they sit behind their tables with the headshots in front
<v Speaker 3>of them. You walk in, you introduce yourself, and then
<v Speaker 3>they give you your lines and then you perform. I'm
<v Speaker 3>in the waiting room and there's all these pretty girls
<v Speaker 3>sitting next to me, and I just kept my head down.
<v Speaker 1>I just sat like a man.
<v Speaker 3>I didn't pick up my hat. I just stay character.
<v Speaker 3>So when they called me to come in, I had
<v Speaker 3>on my hat and my gloves and I came in.
<v Speaker 1>I was looking like a man.
<v Speaker 3>And here's the big moment. I'm gonna take off my
<v Speaker 3>hat and it's gonna tumble out just like the commercial.
<v Speaker 3>Oh boy, it's gonna be magnificent. They're gonna say, we
<v Speaker 3>gotta have her where has Well, it was a hot
<v Speaker 3>summer day and my hair was sweaty okay, and it
<v Speaker 3>was stuck up in the hat. I'm still having post
<v Speaker 3>traumatic the hat. The hair kind of went to a
<v Speaker 3>point like the hat did.
<v Speaker 1>So you got helmet hair or something.
<v Speaker 3>I think of the hat. Whip it off to the
<v Speaker 3>castiding people that are gonna go just like the commercial. Well,
<v Speaker 3>the hair just stayed up in the hat and it's
<v Speaker 3>just I'm climbing it down with my hands I'm just
<v Speaker 3>pulling it down, trying to make it tumble. It was
<v Speaker 3>a train wreck. It was so horrible that they were
<v Speaker 3>they said, oh okay, and no one wanted to look
<v Speaker 3>at it.
<v Speaker 1>That's one way to do it. They did book me,
<v Speaker 1>they did.
<v Speaker 3>They changed the commercials.
<v Speaker 1>I knew you were going to say that. I was hoping,
<v Speaker 1>please let this have a happy ending. Oh my god.
<v Speaker 3>The reason I'm saying this is I said, I think
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying too hard at this part of my career.
<v Speaker 3>And Nancy sent me out on an animation thing. It
<v Speaker 3>was bear and steam beers I think it was, and
<v Speaker 3>they booked me. Dang, I don't even have to put
<v Speaker 3>on a hat and gloves and a man's club. And
<v Speaker 3>I went, oh, suddenly, I thought. Then she sent me
<v Speaker 3>a more animation and voiceover, and I started booking. I said,
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going back. This is my new lane, you know.
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I can't believe I'm telling you the most
<v Speaker 3>bizarre story.
<v Speaker 1>No, that's great, that's great. Well, a lot of people,
<v Speaker 1>you know, they straddle the fence. They do animation, they
<v Speaker 1>do you know, and lately, well not lately, just in
<v Speaker 1>the past ten twenty years. You know, every every major
<v Speaker 1>movie star has to get a couple of videos under
<v Speaker 1>their belt.
<v Speaker 3>You know, I've lost a few to those. I was
<v Speaker 3>just sitting in the casting This is when you're sitting
<v Speaker 3>casting rooms. I came out. It was it was Blondie
<v Speaker 3>for Death, Remember Blondie. So I'm sitting there.
<v Speaker 1>And you went. They talked about the comic strip or
<v Speaker 1>the band.
<v Speaker 3>You're quick, I get that.
<v Speaker 1>Cast iron pan hits you in the It's okay.
<v Speaker 3>I remember Lonnie Anderson walks out. Oh wow, Lonnie Anderson,
<v Speaker 3>her beautiful blond hair, and then box them. She walks
<v Speaker 3>and the casting director looks like her. Lonnie, so good
<v Speaker 3>to see you. I'm so glad you made it, And
<v Speaker 3>I went, yeah, bye, I gonna pick Lonnie or Crissy.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, So you got the job obviously, not that one.
<v Speaker 1>Not that one, Lennie Anderson voiceover, give me a break,
<v Speaker 1>like so bad.
<v Speaker 3>But you originally asked me a question about Barbie. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>do you remember that days?
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I've heard of her.
<v Speaker 3>This is the I don't know. I've told the story
<v Speaker 3>quite a few times, but it is the most bizarre
<v Speaker 3>thing in my career and the most precious thing too.
<v Speaker 3>Because i'd been working at like a toy thing. I
<v Speaker 3>was doing a lot of toys, and I was doing
<v Speaker 3>the talking globes and talking malls and talking this talking.
<v Speaker 3>Everything was talking. And I had an audition for adult
<v Speaker 3>which was nothing new. So it was nineteen ninety four
<v Speaker 3>and this was during the time of the north Ridge earthquake.
<v Speaker 3>Remember that California was a bad one. I was like, uh,
<v Speaker 3>it was like in Northridge and I was like Shriman Oak.
<v Speaker 3>So it was like not much distance. And the audition
<v Speaker 3>was at Mattel like I think the next day or
<v Speaker 3>the next two days, and uh, so I didn't know
<v Speaker 3>what it was for just sot. It was like another you,
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to my towne an audition, fertile and that
<v Speaker 3>night it was the earthquake.
<v Speaker 1>It was intense, Yes, it was. I remember I had
<v Speaker 1>a four and a half foot wave in my pool,
<v Speaker 1>in a swimming pool four and a half foot because
<v Speaker 1>I went outside and I had this cave that I
<v Speaker 1>designed it and then the architect to it and I said,
<v Speaker 1>holy crap because there was water pouring off at the top.
<v Speaker 1>And I went, So I went, I got and I
<v Speaker 1>measured it and it was four and a half feet.
<v Speaker 1>So water had to get up there somehow it was
<v Speaker 1>a wave.
<v Speaker 3>Where were you?
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember I was a baby?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he wasn't there yet.
<v Speaker 2>I was three years old. We were in Redondo Beach
<v Speaker 2>at the time. You remember that, Yeah, well, I just
<v Speaker 2>remember I lived. I know, I lived in Redondo up
<v Speaker 2>until I was five, up until kindergarten.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and yeah, I don't remember. My mom tells me
<v Speaker 2>that they were in an apartment building and they remember
<v Speaker 2>like the swaying, like it was just like swaying, like
<v Speaker 2>we've never so far back and forth. Yeah, but I
<v Speaker 2>don't remember the physical.
<v Speaker 3>But you know you're there. I mean definitely it was like,
<v Speaker 3>you know, dishes are flying off the shelves and oh yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was bad.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Kelsey, my little Kelsey, she was probably like eight months
<v Speaker 3>or so, she was a baby. I remember grabbing her
<v Speaker 3>out of the crib and my husband Jerry standing in
<v Speaker 3>the in the door. It goes, grab Kelsey. I grabbed
<v Speaker 3>Kelsey and it's like I'm holding on too, and you're
<v Speaker 3>in the doorway and it's kind of and I took
<v Speaker 3>me a while before I discovered Kelsey was upside down going.
<v Speaker 3>She thought she was having fun and it was scary.
<v Speaker 3>And so the next day was my audition for this
<v Speaker 3>the hall. I didn't know it was just you know,
<v Speaker 3>any doll, and I go, oh, this is how I think.
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait it to my audition. I'm in an earthquake. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>so I called. I called made a focus. Sorry, Elsa
<v Speaker 3>Gando is maybe forty five minutes, maybe an hour. So
<v Speaker 3>they weren't experiencing the earthquake the way we were. They were,
<v Speaker 3>you know, they heard about their Oh my gosh, is
<v Speaker 3>everybody okay, I says, I just called you guys. I'm
<v Speaker 3>not showing up. You know, we don't even have running
<v Speaker 3>water right now. It's like everything shuts down. Yeah, you're
<v Speaker 3>sweeping up stuff. And the director says, Jacques DeLonge says, well,
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry. You know, this is really, you know,
<v Speaker 3>a little bit hard for everybody, he says, But we
<v Speaker 3>have this project. I'm sorry to do this, he says,
<v Speaker 3>but can you just do a couple of lines of
<v Speaker 3>this doll that we need because we got pressures. We
<v Speaker 3>got to do this all right, Okay, fine, he was
<v Speaker 3>just going another room, sit on the floor, and you know,
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you what to Santa Honey. I'm going to
<v Speaker 3>go on an audition to the other room, sitting on
<v Speaker 3>the floor. Yeah. And I remember sitting on my phone
<v Speaker 3>and he says, Okay, are you ready to go? Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I'm ready. You know I wasn't okay. I'm thinking tremors
<v Speaker 3>are still coming in. He said, could you just say
<v Speaker 3>this for me? Hi, I'm Barbie, welcome to McDonald's. You
<v Speaker 3>look cool, and his very gruff manly voice went okay, okay.
<v Speaker 3>And then I thought to myself, I played with Barbie
<v Speaker 3>growing up. I remember who I wanted her to be.
<v Speaker 3>I didn't need her to be a cool hit Barbie.
<v Speaker 3>I wanted her to be my best friend, like.
<v Speaker 1>Pooh, kind of like Skipper.
<v Speaker 3>And he and I thought, she's going to be warm
<v Speaker 3>and sweet, and she's going to be who I want
<v Speaker 3>to play with and take her everywhere with me.
<v Speaker 2>Now, did Barbie have a voice before this?
<v Speaker 3>This is what's interesting, because when I came on the scene,
<v Speaker 3>they had some random projects. They had a couple one offs,
<v Speaker 3>and I know, I know a person we all know
<v Speaker 3>that did a project that I'm going to be very
<v Speaker 3>discreet because that's how you should be. But they didn't
<v Speaker 3>want it to sound like those things that person What
<v Speaker 3>they told me was they want this to start her
<v Speaker 3>voice and to bring her to life for every fresh
<v Speaker 3>fresh So whatever they did, they want this to they
<v Speaker 3>want her to talk before don't do not whatever you've heard. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>So on my phone on my floor and I went, Hi,
<v Speaker 3>it's meet Barbie. You look cool. Want to be my friend?
<v Speaker 3>And I just came out and I just went cool.
<v Speaker 1>He said nothing, Oh, okay, that's good.
<v Speaker 3>Do you want me to do it again? Because I
<v Speaker 3>was kind of nervous, and he said no, could you
<v Speaker 3>come tomorrow?
<v Speaker 1>And you said bitching, So how about that?
<v Speaker 3>Then that moment went it was Barbie. He just did.
<v Speaker 3>I just say Barbie, Barbie, Barbie, Barbie, Barbie, Barbie. He
<v Speaker 3>doesn't mean Barbie. He goes, can you come tomorrow? I went,
<v Speaker 3>let me check with my husband. Heck young one because
<v Speaker 3>he has to watch the baby. There's no running water,
<v Speaker 3>and last on the floor and I went, he was, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>you get in your car and you go do this.
<v Speaker 3>And I went, hey, now, this is what cracks me up,
<v Speaker 3>because when you go to do Barbie, you want to
<v Speaker 3>like girly and bark. Sure, you can't even take a shot.
<v Speaker 1>You gotta look pink.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wore my pink shirt for this today. You
<v Speaker 3>get in your car and I had only a baseball
<v Speaker 3>cap to put on my Dodger's.
<v Speaker 1>Base Well, that's good baseball barbie. Right, yeah, I'm gonna
<v Speaker 1>go home.
<v Speaker 2>No to hip Barbie.
<v Speaker 1>Then you turned it around backwards and then hip hop Barbie.
<v Speaker 6>Right, okay, a hip hop my baseball cap and I
<v Speaker 6>put on big lipstick like this, I'm going a rock
<v Speaker 6>and I got big clips.
<v Speaker 3>And I get in my car and I go, I
<v Speaker 3>can't I'm going to Motel. I got in the car.
<v Speaker 3>My baseball cap couldn't chargo. It's just go do what
<v Speaker 3>I gotta do. So I get there and you walk
<v Speaker 3>in the lobby. This is back in the day, this
<v Speaker 3>is thirty some years. There's a gigantic barbie in the lobby.
<v Speaker 3>Do you ever remember going to Mattel?
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, yeah, I did. And I got in one
<v Speaker 1>of those one of those big plastic things like they
<v Speaker 1>put the critters in. I forget who I was.
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, go ahead, I'll come to them at three o'clock
<v Speaker 3>in the morning. I remember, now, Yes, So I get
<v Speaker 3>in there and there's the gigantic barbie in the lobby.
<v Speaker 3>Shit on that black and white striped bathing suit with
<v Speaker 3>those glasses, those sunglasses. She's like, it was like Oscar
<v Speaker 3>standing in the corner and it's like this big reception
<v Speaker 3>desk and the lady behind it says, are you Chris?
<v Speaker 3>And I looked at Barbie in it. I'm going to
<v Speaker 3>try to be her voice, and it was just like
<v Speaker 3>it was so much for me. She says, they're ready
<v Speaker 3>for you. Thank you.
<v Speaker 1>She said, no, they're not.
<v Speaker 3>She says, please do not look at any of the
<v Speaker 3>cubicles as you're passing through to the sound design. Do
<v Speaker 3>not look and interact with any you know, it's like
<v Speaker 3>it's big business. That was toys. You could as you're
<v Speaker 3>walking through you see transfermers, hot wheels, all these different
<v Speaker 3>toys that they're on top of their cubicles. There's like
<v Speaker 3>a million Barbie heads that the women only painted the eyes,
<v Speaker 3>so the girl little sticks. You could see all these
<v Speaker 3>little heads. Wow, it looks sounds totally bizarre, like a
<v Speaker 3>Twilight Zone. Yeah, but she said, please do not, you know,
<v Speaker 3>stay focused and go through. Okay, So here I'm walking
<v Speaker 3>through the design to the design studio. I'm seeing all
<v Speaker 3>this stuff and it's so cool and I get back
<v Speaker 3>to the studio and there's the big booth with the
<v Speaker 3>glass and a stool and a seat in my microphone.
<v Speaker 3>There's like six seven people behind a glass wall.
<v Speaker 7>Hm.
<v Speaker 3>That's a lot of ears, a lot of ears, kind
<v Speaker 3>of dressed up nice, you know, the suits, the tough people.
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna make the big decisions. And I just went, oh,
<v Speaker 3>this is important. So I sat down at my mic
<v Speaker 3>and I just went, Okay, if an earthquake didn't stop me,
<v Speaker 3>if these things did stop right, if I'm here, I'm
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be here. You know. That's why I always
<v Speaker 3>tell people say, if you don't get the gig, it's
<v Speaker 3>not yours. It's not meant for you. What's meant for
<v Speaker 3>you is yours. And I sat there and I thought okay,
<v Speaker 3>and Jacques says, he goes, just do what you did
<v Speaker 3>on the phone. I mean, I'm an earthquake. What did
<v Speaker 3>I do on the phone. I'm trying to remember, because
<v Speaker 3>you know, Hi, this is Barbie, Welcome McDonald's. And I go, okay, hm, Hi,
<v Speaker 3>it's meet Barbie. Welcome to McDonald's. You look cool. And
<v Speaker 3>nobody talked again like that feeling of like and it
<v Speaker 3>was this.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, what.
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's my baseball and slow motion. He goes to
<v Speaker 3>the talk back button. Hi, Barbie, I'm going to start
<v Speaker 3>work tomorrow with us.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that works. That is wonderful.
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not kidding. When you're meant to do something,
<v Speaker 3>you're meant, there's no there's no accident. You're doing what
<v Speaker 3>you're doing. That is your that is that's your purpose
<v Speaker 3>of you know. So that opened up days and months
<v Speaker 3>and years of doing Barbie toys. Sure, the first doll
<v Speaker 3>was super Talk Barbie, who said one thousand way I'm sorry,
<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand phrases. So when you press the button
<v Speaker 3>on her back, cool. We'll go to the mall later
<v Speaker 3>with Ken because it was mixing and matches, you know,
<v Speaker 3>the technology of the day. And so I was in
<v Speaker 3>the studio doing that was my first Barbie and it
<v Speaker 3>was like ran here in this little outfit I went,
<v Speaker 3>and then they go, okay, get ready, buckle up. We
<v Speaker 3>got a lot of things we're gonna do. And we
<v Speaker 3>did talking cell phones, talking roller skates, we did all
<v Speaker 3>of her, all her computer games. Girls did not have
<v Speaker 3>computer games.
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's true.
<v Speaker 3>There was nothing for them.
<v Speaker 1>That's true.
<v Speaker 3>She was going to do fashion designer. This is rare
<v Speaker 3>fashion designer yet coincidence, there's CD romps they called. So
<v Speaker 3>when you go in there, Uh, what you do is
<v Speaker 3>you're designing Barbie's clothes. The little girls were designing it
<v Speaker 3>and then on the screen they could watch Barbie walk
<v Speaker 3>with their design on. And then they provided something you
<v Speaker 3>could print it out and put it on your Barbie.
<v Speaker 2>If I'm not mistaken, I swear I remember that it's fashion.
<v Speaker 2>I think my sister had that. And yeah, wouldn't they
<v Speaker 2>come in like cereal boxes, like you would get like
<v Speaker 2>the CD in a cereal box. It was this to
<v Speaker 2>play on your computer. Yeah, I remember that she.
<v Speaker 3>Had She had no games. There were girls had no games.
<v Speaker 3>This was earth shaking breaking, didn't.
<v Speaker 1>It was like president breaking.
<v Speaker 3>It happened so fast that Mattel's head was spinning. They go,
<v Speaker 3>what are you doing with all you know? And I
<v Speaker 3>do remember thinking, oh my gosh. Just two years ago
<v Speaker 3>they put it into the Hall of Fame.
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, the Hall of Fame, the toy Hall of Fame.
<v Speaker 3>Where is that for the computer games?
<v Speaker 1>Wow?
<v Speaker 2>That must have been like right after the movie came out. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>right after the movie.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so we were doing. We were doing all these
<v Speaker 3>toys and all these games. Everything she could imagine, we did.
<v Speaker 3>There was one doll that said she was called talk
<v Speaker 3>with Me Barbie. And what they wanted this one Barbie
<v Speaker 3>to do?
<v Speaker 2>Remember this talk with me Barbie.
<v Speaker 3>I remember me Barbie. She sits at a computer, little computer.
<v Speaker 1>It sounds vaguely Australian.
<v Speaker 3>Her mouth, her mouth would drop open and she talked.
<v Speaker 3>This was like nothing. So Barbie's mouth would go, it
<v Speaker 3>would move.
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow. They were going, we're going for it.
<v Speaker 3>And it took me months to do girls' names, in
<v Speaker 3>the months to do all the names, because they wanted
<v Speaker 3>every little girl that played.
<v Speaker 1>With it, you were right to have her name name.
<v Speaker 1>I did one of those. I'm so sorry, I have
<v Speaker 1>something stuck in my eye, but I did one of those,
<v Speaker 1>and it took months and months and months. Yes, and
<v Speaker 1>it was Pooh reading to you and I and yes,
<v Speaker 1>and I had it was my interactive Pooh, which is
<v Speaker 1>a fun name all by itself. Oh yeah, yeah that
<v Speaker 1>all the eight year old boys go, mind's interactive too,
<v Speaker 1>you know. But it's but it took years, well months.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, I just that's all it is. Linda Cindy Mary.
<v Speaker 3>We went through every name, we went through baby books
<v Speaker 3>of Barbie name. Then then you know, now we're going
<v Speaker 3>to do Spanish. Oh wow, Spanish, Portuguese, French. Months are
<v Speaker 3>going by and I'm losing my mind because that's right.
<v Speaker 1>I remember that.
<v Speaker 3>Coca Cocoa. I'm doing all these names.
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going I remember La Cocoa Cocoa. She was,
<v Speaker 1>she was so cute. Yeah, yeah, I just couldn't do it.
<v Speaker 3>I got new take a break, and then I pictured
<v Speaker 3>every little girl picking up that Barbie and I thought,
<v Speaker 3>every girl it plays with HER's gonna hear her name.
<v Speaker 3>And it gave me a fresh thing of like, I
<v Speaker 3>want her to sound special.
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be.
<v Speaker 3>Lisa Robin. And I just turned it back into that thing.
<v Speaker 3>It made it, you know, real for me. And they
<v Speaker 3>decided after that to do Teacher Barbie, which was really
<v Speaker 3>fun because Teacher Barbie, you know, it was a nice occupation.
<v Speaker 3>It was dead dis Barbie did Teacher Barbie, Working Woman Barbie,
<v Speaker 3>but we had a Spanish linguist come in and help
<v Speaker 3>me with the spin. It was bad and she's just
<v Speaker 3>sitting there going, oh, you're killing this.
<v Speaker 2>Did you do the Barbie phone. Wasn't there like a
<v Speaker 2>Barbie phone where you could call Barbie And it was
<v Speaker 2>like they would respond to you, I have a little sister.
<v Speaker 3>Why was it your house? We were meant to do
<v Speaker 3>this together.
<v Speaker 1>So true, so true.
<v Speaker 3>And it's funny because I am still doing Barbie everywhere.
<v Speaker 3>Everywhere I go. My doctor says, please call no kidd. Okay,
<v Speaker 3>now here's the run thing I'm doing, tricycles, the talk
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing. I have probably over one hundred toys just going.
<v Speaker 3>And then they give you the phonemes. You know the phonemes.
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, I remember those cat We did all these
<v Speaker 1>possible names. Just a little squeaker. That's the one you
<v Speaker 1>say for church, and then you tried. Then you look around,
<v Speaker 1>go who did that.
<v Speaker 2>Squeaker?
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I need water.
<v Speaker 2>He's driving me to drink.
<v Speaker 3>Sorry I can't.

<v Speaker 2>running out of time in the studio for the day
<v Speaker 2>before before we go, we have to play the voice
<v Speaker 2>swap game. Are you familiar with the voice swap game?
<v Speaker 1>Yes?
<v Speaker 2>All right, all right, okay, well it's easy.
<v Speaker 1>It's easy.
<v Speaker 3>So Jim will there's something I gotta tell you? Yes, please,
<v Speaker 3>this is the most important part of this.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay.
<v Speaker 3>I was not allowed to tell anybody I was doing
<v Speaker 3>Barbie's voice the whole time.
<v Speaker 2>No way, you have to know that. What's the reasoning
<v Speaker 2>behind that.
<v Speaker 3>They did not want Barbie to have a face. They
<v Speaker 3>wanted the mystique. I could not tell people I was
<v Speaker 3>doing Barbie for all those years. Wow, that was hard.
<v Speaker 1>That's what I would have told them. I said, I
<v Speaker 1>can't tell you that I'm doing the voice of Barbie
<v Speaker 1>and then you're done.
<v Speaker 3>And she was talking and everything. All everybody wanted interviews.
<v Speaker 3>It was like the height of her. I couldn't tell
<v Speaker 3>until Toy Story came out. They said, you're going to
<v Speaker 3>do Toy Story and I went, okay, this is tricky.
<v Speaker 3>I says, I can't, I'm going to be in toy stories.
<v Speaker 3>Disney didn't even know about me, so they went to
<v Speaker 3>somebody else and I went, Now, the credits will roll,
<v Speaker 3>they'll see that name. They're gonna go, oh, that's whuper
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, that hurts. But you know what, alls I
<v Speaker 3>can say is this, I am more than grateful that
<v Speaker 3>I got to do that voice period that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, she's an icon. There's no question.
<v Speaker 3>I go to places and kids all the time.
<v Speaker 1>Of course I'm gonna child anywhere. He doesn't know.
<v Speaker 3>See, he knows because doing Pooh and the ones you do,
<v Speaker 3>that's a whole different link. That's that's you don't mess
<v Speaker 3>with that. You don't make that anything but what it is,
<v Speaker 3>because that's somebody's real childhood. Oh you bet, po is
<v Speaker 3>like Barbie. I never did negative things. I kept her
<v Speaker 3>clean and lucky, and that's how I was the Barbie
<v Speaker 3>the nineties. Okay, so sure I had to tell you that.
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't tell anybody, but I called kids on the
<v Speaker 3>phone and went in hospitals all the time. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna be okay, don't worry, It'll be all right,
<v Speaker 3>MATEL never knew that fire me.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, oh that's wonderful. Well, thank you for being here.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but let's do a voice soap really quick because
