<v Speaker 3>I have I have? You know, I look at everybody
<v Speaker 3>like in my life as my teacher and my mentor,
<v Speaker 3>but like truly my mentor in voiceover and animation. We
<v Speaker 3>it was the days of Jim Kirby.
<v Speaker 1>On Sunset and pan Chick, Bert Bars and Kirby, Bert
<v Speaker 1>Bars and Kirby.
<v Speaker 3>And I remember sitting in Panchick. Remember the little place downstairs.
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, that had Rice peelof like the Russian and
<v Speaker 3>it was you and Pat music, and I was like.
<v Speaker 4>Feed me Seymour, teach me, teach me your ways. That
<v Speaker 4>was early. I think that was even before four.
<v Speaker 3>I broke into animation and I was doing like strictly
<v Speaker 3>Radium and when I started, it was like I was
<v Speaker 3>doing radio, Like I got hired to do that seven
<v Speaker 3>to eleven campaign with Jim Kirby. We used to smoke
<v Speaker 3>in the studio with me and he was like, oh yeah,
<v Speaker 3>all right, and he would like start the session and
<v Speaker 3>he'd be like young Kevin, always on the go, and
<v Speaker 3>I'd be like, hey dad, I got a big there's
<v Speaker 3>for a big gold that because I'm always on the go,
<v Speaker 3>Can I bar the car? And I did that for
<v Speaker 3>like four years, five years.
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh.
<v Speaker 3>And I just wanted to do tunes. I wanted to
<v Speaker 3>do animation, and my first one was Rugrats and it
<v Speaker 3>was just like guest starring, and like I was in
<v Speaker 3>the green room with Cree and Eg.
<v Speaker 1>And Kath all the boys, yes, all the boys, all
<v Speaker 1>of us boys. Yeah, yes, that's exactly right. Yeah. Young
<v Speaker 1>women were always boys in cartoons because their voice wasn't
<v Speaker 1>going to change.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and they they like I used to say, you know,
<v Speaker 3>call me the cleaner, like Harvey Kaitel in pulp fiction,
<v Speaker 3>because like I remember doing a show called Bobby's World,
<v Speaker 3>which was the Howie Went, and I was the third Derek,
<v Speaker 3>like he had three brothers. They kept casting like real
<v Speaker 3>teenage boys, and of course their balls dropped and they couldn't.
<v Speaker 3>So I would say, they called me the cleaner, and
<v Speaker 3>I would come in and just take over and.
<v Speaker 1>And your balls are dropped free, so you were fine.
<v Speaker 3>Oh I was born with my balls dropped.
<v Speaker 1>And was nowhere to go. That's right. Oh God, I'm
<v Speaker 1>so happy that you're here. It's been so wrong. So
<v Speaker 1>you know, I have so many fond memories of all
<v Speaker 1>the crazy things.
<v Speaker 3>And screen music.
<v Speaker 1>Uh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, pulling in there and just
<v Speaker 1>getting paid to, you know, act out.
<v Speaker 3>And I remember you telling me the story and I'm
<v Speaker 3>quoting from memory. And I've since had three children and
<v Speaker 3>they're all grown and out of my house, which is
<v Speaker 3>unbelievable to me. And I remember you telling me that
<v Speaker 3>you started because you were in school and you would
<v Speaker 3>always have drum sticks. Yeah, and can you tell about
<v Speaker 3>that about starting and doing voices in class?
<v Speaker 5>And oh, well, yeah, it's I've said it before.
<v Speaker 1>It's I make my living doing stuff that used to
<v Speaker 1>get me kicked out of class.
<v Speaker 5>It's so true. And I you know, I can remember
<v Speaker 5>very vividly, sitting on my dad's knee.
<v Speaker 1>We were watching Jack Benny and mel Blank came out
<v Speaker 1>and he started, you know, doing all that. He had
<v Speaker 1>this Mexican routine that he did and uh and my
<v Speaker 1>dad goes, you see this bastard. Everybody was a bastard
<v Speaker 1>to my dad. See his bastard. I'll tell you what
<v Speaker 1>he does. All that that Tasmanian Devil and the Daffy
<v Speaker 1>Duck and the bugs Bunny and the Sylvester. He's the
<v Speaker 1>guy does the voices. And the first thing that hit
<v Speaker 1>me was, I don't have he doesn't have to stand
<v Speaker 1>in the corner for being a weirdo. That would be me.
<v Speaker 1>So I figured if I aimed at that, maybe I
<v Speaker 1>get to be him sorta you know. And so now
<v Speaker 1>I'm him sorta and it worked out.
<v Speaker 3>You are completely unbelievable, like this brush with the King,
<v Speaker 3>like this brush with mel blank and that your father
<v Speaker 3>yea like kind of like orchestrated that. Yeah, that's incredible.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well by telling me that there was no way
<v Speaker 1>it was going to happen. Yeah, but what are you
<v Speaker 1>going to do for a living? Oh that's what I'll do, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>but how are you gonna eat? I'm gonna do it
<v Speaker 1>really well? Yeah, And so here we are right.
<v Speaker 4>Wow?
<v Speaker 1>Did you have that drive?
<v Speaker 5>When did you know that? You?
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is you know what I'm gonna aim
<v Speaker 1>over here, and I'm gonna produce, I'm gonna write, I'm
<v Speaker 1>gonna direct, I'm gonna act.
<v Speaker 3>I I love that you're asking me this and and
<v Speaker 3>you know, being here with you and talking about like
<v Speaker 3>the beginnings, I think that a big part of you know,
<v Speaker 3>where I am is all starting from my voice.
<v Speaker 4>And you know, like my big.
<v Speaker 3>Influence in what I do in animation is was Wacky
<v Speaker 3>Races and snaggletoos, Yes, snagglepus and.
<v Speaker 5>We've been dismiss play.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah that's.
<v Speaker 3>You know, and I just you know, and my mother
<v Speaker 3>always called me Penelope pit Stop, and you know, I
<v Speaker 3>was very kind of you know, I remember seeing Errol
<v Speaker 3>Flynn in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, but he was Errol
<v Speaker 3>Flynn in real life, and he like flew in on
<v Speaker 3>a vine like as Robin Hood and landed and they
<v Speaker 3>he's the real guy and Bugs was Bugs And that
<v Speaker 3>cracked my head open.
<v Speaker 1>Did not see that one.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it just was huge, and I remember watching
<v Speaker 3>it on TV in the seventies and just being like,
<v Speaker 3>you can do that. You know. My dad was a
<v Speaker 3>writer and producer and my dad was he used to
<v Speaker 3>write comics and he started out writing for Dell And.
<v Speaker 1>I know I read that that boggles my mind.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's a big part of you know, my upbringing.
<v Speaker 3>And I was there when Origin of Marvel Comics came out,
<v Speaker 3>when stan Lee wrote that and in New York City
<v Speaker 3>like in probably like nineteen sixty nine or seventy and
<v Speaker 3>I still have.
<v Speaker 4>My original copy.
<v Speaker 3>And you know, now like everything is so monetized, and
<v Speaker 3>then it was so pure, even though like the way
<v Speaker 3>the world is right now, like you know, suckubissing itself
<v Speaker 3>and just like corporate has led everything and you feel
<v Speaker 3>like the entire industry is going to hang up its
<v Speaker 3>jersey from the rafters in about two years.
<v Speaker 4>But I feel like there's going to be a shift.
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I spoke to two incredible creatives today.
<v Speaker 3>Before you You're you're the whole, you make it three,
<v Speaker 3>you are the Bully Trinity. But of saying, you know,
<v Speaker 3>we don't need to make a lot of money, and
<v Speaker 3>we don't need a lot of money to make the
<v Speaker 3>art we want to make. And I mean that's kind
<v Speaker 3>of the thing like through the years when you know,
<v Speaker 3>I was just an actor because that's all I could
<v Speaker 3>allow myself to aspire to. But yeah, I was writing
<v Speaker 3>since I was a teenager. I've had a camera or
<v Speaker 3>recording device attached to my eye or my hand since
<v Speaker 3>I was twelve years old. You know, I used to
<v Speaker 3>go to Yale Lab in Hollywood, and so you.
<v Speaker 1>Knew early on too, you knew yeah, but I could.
<v Speaker 3>Make a living at it. Oh okay, but you you
<v Speaker 3>kind of were like, also you're a guy, yeah, and
<v Speaker 3>I'm not. I guess.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah you an Bobby.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's no, it's good, Bobby.
<v Speaker 4>No.
<v Speaker 3>I was just I just at lunch at the this
<v Speaker 3>place on Vineland, the farmhouse, like in that oh yeah,
<v Speaker 3>that hotel. And the waiter comes over and he's like
<v Speaker 3>the chef knows you're here, and he's getting this tattooed
<v Speaker 3>and he shows me, uh, like his phone. He like
<v Speaker 3>leaves it on the table of Bobby, and he said.
<v Speaker 4>He wants you to write something that he can overlay.
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, this is a lot of pressure.
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, and he's gonna have it.
<v Speaker 4>I don't write it.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, oh my god. People do that and then they
<v Speaker 5>come back, like at a convention on a Friday, he
<v Speaker 5>would you sign this? Yeah, and then she brings it
<v Speaker 5>back and it's my name, and I got I wouldn't know,
<v Speaker 5>I would have spelled.
<v Speaker 4>I know, I woant have taken a calligraphy class, come
<v Speaker 4>on something. It's been.
<v Speaker 3>Kind of just the reflection on oh, I've always been
<v Speaker 3>doing this stuff, but there was a point where I
<v Speaker 3>couldn't pay my rent. And it's always been voiceover and
<v Speaker 3>animation that has been my bread and butter.
<v Speaker 4>And it doesn't matter.
<v Speaker 3>Like I was on TV and I made enough money
<v Speaker 3>to buy my first apartment when I was a teenager. Wow,
<v Speaker 3>but I got fired and then I wasn't on TV anymore?
<v Speaker 1>And where what was the role?
<v Speaker 4>That I was on?
<v Speaker 3>A show called the Facts of Life? And like it
<v Speaker 3>was later in the later seasons, and they were trying everybody,
<v Speaker 3>you know, like I think it was like me and
<v Speaker 3>Molly Ringwald and George Clooney and Flee Shacter and Mackenzie
<v Speaker 3>asked and like they tried all of us and we.
<v Speaker 5>All got the boot.
<v Speaker 3>And but that that was the days that they had
<v Speaker 3>like really a lot of money. So my m the
<v Speaker 3>was really smart. She invested my money in an apartment.
<v Speaker 4>But then later, you know, I was in my twenties,
<v Speaker 4>I could not pay the rent.
<v Speaker 3>I had to go to Eron's on Lebrea, the record store,
<v Speaker 3>do you remember it, And I had to sell my
<v Speaker 3>record collection to pay my rent.
<v Speaker 4>And then I.
<v Speaker 3>Started doing you know, I started getting parts and getting hired,
<v Speaker 3>and like I met you and Pat and you know
<v Speaker 3>and Jenny.
<v Speaker 4>McSwain like, and so you'd and you'd meet people and.
<v Speaker 3>They'd be like, Okay, okay, I know Jimmy can do
<v Speaker 3>all these characters and get Pammy in here.
<v Speaker 4>She could be the mom, the army man and the son.
<v Speaker 4>Like you know, we had ranged your days.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right.
<v Speaker 3>Jeff Bennett, BW Billy West, John Demage, Oh, Cath Chris
<v Speaker 3>Kavanaugh rest her soul.
<v Speaker 4>Dana Hill.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like my best friend. And yeah, you know we
<v Speaker 3>made the transition because we couldn't quite make it on camera.
<v Speaker 3>And there was that old joke in those days. You know,
<v Speaker 3>she's got a face for radio.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, that was usually about me. But yes,
<v Speaker 1>he's got a face for the Yeah, for the microphone. No, no,
<v Speaker 1>that's great.
<v Speaker 3>But you know what, I met Mark Hamill and yeah,
<v Speaker 3>and Mark was like the funniest.
<v Speaker 1>Person in the world.
<v Speaker 3>You're like, wait, you're funny, Like.
<v Speaker 1>He's the greatest guy on the block. Yeah, the best
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny. I'll bet he was more excited to
<v Speaker 1>meet you than you were to meet him.
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god.
<v Speaker 3>I was a nobody when I worked with Mark.
<v Speaker 6>But he's a he's a historian, you know, he knows
<v Speaker 6>the guy who did the third cave Man on the
<v Speaker 6>Right and the eighties episode of The Flintstones on this
<v Speaker 6>not yet.
<v Speaker 4>We got to get him on.
<v Speaker 3>Well, Pileon. But I did a series with Mark and
<v Speaker 3>Rob Paulson called Time Squad. Okay, yeah, Dave Wasson's show.
<v Speaker 3>He's the guy who does Cuphead now, and it was
<v Speaker 3>a great show.
<v Speaker 1>I like the Cuphead show too. Yeah, it's really interesting.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's like Fleischer, like the flavor of Fleischer.
<v Speaker 1>I love that. It's a real throwback.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's incredible. You should have Mauricio on this
<v Speaker 3>show too. From Rock and Tunes. He's the guy who's
<v Speaker 3>like saving the Fleischer Library. And I met Jane Fleischer,
<v Speaker 3>Max's granddaughter with Mauricio, and he's like the kid of
<v Speaker 3>Mexican immigrants who's obsessed with old animation, old school like,
<v Speaker 3>he's just like a really incredible guy. But Time Squad
<v Speaker 3>with Mark Hamill and Rob Paulson, we did it at
<v Speaker 3>Cartoon Network, and my god, it was the greatest most
<v Speaker 3>inappropriate sessions in the world. And we would have oh
<v Speaker 3>my god, and we would do some things anyway, I mean,
<v Speaker 3>and everybody was in that show, like everybody came through,
<v Speaker 3>Tom Kenny, Kevin, Michael Richardson, and there were people who
<v Speaker 3>would come in and do things that would blow my mind,
<v Speaker 3>like people who were just people and you don't remember
<v Speaker 3>their names. And like one guy came in and did
<v Speaker 3>every single character from The Wizard of Oz like within
<v Speaker 3>sixty seconds. And it's just like I remember being in
<v Speaker 3>sessions with session with Jeff Bennett, Billy West and like
<v Speaker 3>the creators of the show, total firepower, the creators of
<v Speaker 3>the show going what else you got, and they're.
<v Speaker 4>Like flipping through the road.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yeah, well, Jeff's amazing. You can come up with
<v Speaker 5>stuff from left, right and center. Incredible, Yeah, unbelievable.
<v Speaker 1>Got to get him on here.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, that's for sure.
<v Speaker 1>That is for sure.
<v Speaker 5>Team Yeah, yeah, that sounds good.
<v Speaker 1>How you doing that then, Brenda, I'm good.

<v Speaker 2>of the Hill reunion because you go, Bobby and Pops,
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, do you remember Jim was on King of
<v Speaker 2>the Hill, Pamela.
<v Speaker 1>Old Feller, God on that King of the Hill.

<v Speaker 1>need to have Pops back.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, now I don't even try very hard.
<v Speaker 4>So good.
<v Speaker 2>So how is how's the Ray Brute going? Have you
<v Speaker 2>finished recording everything yet?
<v Speaker 4>Or yeah that's coming out next year?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, because they revealed the Bubby's now older in
<v Speaker 2>a cheff or something. But yeah, it's pretty exciting and
<v Speaker 2>I'm a huge King of the Hill fans. I'm pretty excited.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, me too. I learned I learned a lot about
<v Speaker 3>writing for myself as a writer from being on King
<v Speaker 3>of the Hill. And you know, I remember some people
<v Speaker 3>would be like, you know, it's a cartoon. I'm like,
<v Speaker 3>back off because it wasn't. It was so much more
<v Speaker 3>like it was. It was like this two D animation, but.
<v Speaker 1>It was really well written sitcom.
<v Speaker 3>The way it was so grounded and they would let
<v Speaker 3>moments happen and be organic. It was just really an
<v Speaker 3>extraordinary experience, it really was. The writing was incredible, it
<v Speaker 3>was and.
<v Speaker 1>They really did they really it was so subtle. Bobby's inclination,
<v Speaker 1>his predilection. You had the idea that once he hit puberty,
<v Speaker 1>yeah he was it was stand back. Yeah, because uh mom,
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be in your closet for a while here, Yeah, don't.
<v Speaker 3>But everybody thought, like you know, that Bobby was gay
<v Speaker 3>or whatever.
<v Speaker 4>But he was a ladies man, like I mean, you
<v Speaker 4>got to see he was. He was the next Dollai Lama.
<v Speaker 4>You know, he like rubbed chocolate all over his chest
<v Speaker 4>for you know, Connie and Marie.
<v Speaker 8>And he was more romantic.
<v Speaker 4>He was more layered. He was he was much much
<v Speaker 4>more layered than you know, the surface.
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, what what's keeping you the busiest these days?
<v Speaker 7>There?
<v Speaker 5>Do you care to even be busy? Are you done
<v Speaker 5>with it all?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>I have a lot of energy since my youngest daughter
<v Speaker 3>just moved out of the house and that, you know.
<v Speaker 3>I directed my first feature which came out this year
<v Speaker 3>and it premiered. It was south By Southwest Babes.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and did you see it.
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, I've seen many scenes the thing that the milk saying, oh, there.
<v Speaker 3>You go, tripping on mushrooms, milk spurts through her shirt.
<v Speaker 1>But I was gonna, okay, I.
<v Speaker 3>Was gonna say, I have that effect on microphones.
<v Speaker 1>They just go pute.
<v Speaker 3>So you know, I'm still very much working. I'm not
<v Speaker 3>I you know, I've been trying to get my film
<v Speaker 3>made that that I wrote four and a half years ago.
<v Speaker 3>But you know, in the past, you know, since I
<v Speaker 3>became a boss and a director and running sets and everything.
<v Speaker 3>The business is like takeing a like sideways turn because
<v Speaker 3>there's been all the mergers, like the mergers are killing everything,
<v Speaker 3>and then we had COVID and then we have Strike. Yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I'm very motivated.
<v Speaker 10>I do.
<v Speaker 3>Even though I'm working all the time, I do a
<v Speaker 3>lot of mentorship, and so I bring people along with
<v Speaker 3>me and when I'm working to shadow me. I just
<v Speaker 3>feel like everybody has space next to them when they're
<v Speaker 3>working to raise people up and help them and teach them.
<v Speaker 4>And I feel like, you know, since you are.
<v Speaker 3>And I've always called you my og mentor in voiceover
<v Speaker 3>that it's kind of everything is like the synchronosity of

<v Speaker 8>Do it now, I have a question for you.
<v Speaker 11>Yes, you've done so many different walks in the entertainment business, directing,
<v Speaker 11>voice acting, acting, on camera and YadA, YadA, YadA. Do
<v Speaker 11>you have a favorite creative endeavor pursuit or is it
<v Speaker 11>just kind of the whole creation that gets you going.
<v Speaker 3>I like working. I'm not a snob. I like to
<v Speaker 3>do anything. And you know, from like my first movie,
<v Speaker 3>which was Grease Too, you know, on camera, which is
<v Speaker 3>like so silly that, you know when I think back
<v Speaker 3>to it, you know, then I went back to school
<v Speaker 3>and it was like I was punished for having a
<v Speaker 3>job in Hollywood, and all I wanted to do was
<v Speaker 3>like hammer and nail into a set or just be
<v Speaker 3>part of things. So I don't discern, but if I
<v Speaker 3>had a choice now, Number one is just only to
<v Speaker 3>work with good collaborative people. I just I have no
<v Speaker 3>room for assholes in my life. I'm in my fifties.
<v Speaker 10>I have.
<v Speaker 1>By the time. That's me.
<v Speaker 3>I love that it's true, and I you know, I
<v Speaker 3>have been taking care of people for a long long time,
<v Speaker 3>and I've been responsible since I was a teenager, and
<v Speaker 3>so I just really like don't waste.
<v Speaker 4>My time to leste my time.
<v Speaker 3>Do you want me here, don't first trap me here, Like,
<v Speaker 3>let's work together, very collaborative, and I'm just looking for
<v Speaker 3>the right next thing because you know, when you direct
<v Speaker 3>a feature that's two years of your life, when you
<v Speaker 3>do a show that's every second of your day, well
<v Speaker 3>that's yeah. And you know, this morning, I just like
<v Speaker 3>I had a conversation with Mark Duplas, who's somebody like
<v Speaker 3>you know, we we really like each other what we do,
<v Speaker 3>and it's kind of like it's it's like tribe. We
<v Speaker 3>want to find something together and it doesn't have to
<v Speaker 3>be expensive, and we're talking about that. So it's like,
<v Speaker 3>you know, these like splinter factions are happening within our industry,
<v Speaker 3>like with music, with animation, with art, with all of it.
<v Speaker 3>You know, I don't want to call it content because
<v Speaker 3>that's really offensive to me.
<v Speaker 1>Why is that because it's like it sounds like filler, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>kind of right.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you don't care the way the lighting feels,
<v Speaker 3>you know, or the way your furniture is, and you're
<v Speaker 3>not putting an effort, and you don't have any style
<v Speaker 3>and you don't.
<v Speaker 4>Have any I care, and I the way I curate
<v Speaker 4>what I do. It's not only the writing.
<v Speaker 3>It's like I call myself like the rock tumbler, Like
<v Speaker 3>it goes through my rock tumbler, and I know it's
<v Speaker 3>gonna work.
<v Speaker 11>At the at the top of the podcast, you mentioned
<v Speaker 11>you feel like there's a shift coming in Hollywood.
<v Speaker 8>Is that what you're referring to, like a shift to
<v Speaker 8>more creative endeavors rather than like big budget you know.
<v Speaker 3>Flashy, it's after this wildfire is just going to go
<v Speaker 3>through everything, like you know. I mean, there was a
<v Speaker 3>certain point that I had this wonderful project with Swampy
<v Speaker 3>Marsh who created Phineas and Firms and Myra Murphy's Law,
<v Speaker 3>with Dan poven Meyer and Richard O'Brien who wrote the
<v Speaker 3>rocky horror show Total Legend. He wrote this gorgeous, gorgeous thing.
<v Speaker 3>And I've never pitched something harder and worked harder for
<v Speaker 3>something that I you know, And I would give people
<v Speaker 3>instructions on how to listen to it, like close your door,
<v Speaker 3>it's about thirty eight minutes, get your put your throw
<v Speaker 3>your phone in the toilet, sit back, listen to this.
<v Speaker 3>Read the libretto like it was just this gorgeous thing,
<v Speaker 3>and everybody was afraid of it. And then I'd be like,
<v Speaker 3>what happened to those cool people we met last week?
<v Speaker 3>One was fired, the other the company folded. Like that's
<v Speaker 3>the way it's been. Yeah, can't blame people, that's the.
<v Speaker 1>Way it goes. Yeah, you know, it's you know, things
<v Speaker 1>get built up and and you got this great avenue.
<v Speaker 1>Oh what do you mean they don't work there anymore?
<v Speaker 1>But the company folded. Oh h yeah, back to the
<v Speaker 1>drawing board. Then you start over.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's it's also I mean, that's just the
<v Speaker 3>schism that exists right now, and I just feel like
<v Speaker 3>it's shift, it's going to shift.
<v Speaker 4>But it's the same thing.
<v Speaker 3>And it's the same you know, advice that you give
<v Speaker 3>to somebody who's like I want to get into a voiceover,
<v Speaker 3>I want to get into music, I want to get
<v Speaker 3>into graphic.
<v Speaker 4>Design, Well, you got to you got to do it.
<v Speaker 4>You got to practice, you know, like you got to
<v Speaker 4>do your work before the day you start the job.
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely, that's such a resounding statement, you know, like throughout
<v Speaker 11>all of entertainment, I mean I even get people asking
<v Speaker 11>me like I want to start a podcast, Like, oh,
<v Speaker 11>you guys have a podcast, what's going on?
<v Speaker 8>And I'm like, just do it, like literally use your
<v Speaker 8>phone and just record it, like just go, just go do.
<v Speaker 11>Something, because you learn so much along the way, you know,
<v Speaker 11>like this is my first time ever doing a podcast.
<v Speaker 8>I've learned so much over this course of a year.
<v Speaker 4>You know.
<v Speaker 11>It's like it's being how did you guys meeting Joe's
<v Speaker 11>my stepfather?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it looks just like me.
<v Speaker 4>I remember this.
<v Speaker 3>Oh you okay, I remember hearing like about you have
<v Speaker 3>a daughter.
<v Speaker 1>Well I have four of them, that's right. Yeah, so
<v Speaker 1>that's right.
<v Speaker 12>You were the girl dad, and then I became the
<v Speaker 12>girl mom.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, oh wow with Odessa and uh yeah, Gideon and Rocket.
<v Speaker 8>Have you ever worked with your daughters?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>Actually Gideon and I did the Ghost and Molly McGee together.
<v Speaker 4>And also another one and she was.
<v Speaker 1>Like a little nipper, right, No, that was that was later.
<v Speaker 4>That was later.
<v Speaker 3>But I know, like Cree brings her girls in to
<v Speaker 3>the studio to do that kind of stuff. But yeah,
<v Speaker 3>that's so that's so funny. It's just that's so cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I love that. Yeah, that's right.
<v Speaker 8>I actually wanted to talk about that.
<v Speaker 11>I wanted to talk about that because you your your
<v Speaker 11>family was in the entertainment industry, and I feel like
<v Speaker 11>there's so much criticism for nepo babies these days. Did
<v Speaker 11>you ever feel that growing up?
<v Speaker 3>What was that like experience in that I did not
<v Speaker 3>have that experience because that was a different time. I
<v Speaker 3>also feel like the term nepple baby is a very
<v Speaker 3>now like of this time for sure, you know.
<v Speaker 4>Because it's like, you know, here's the thing.
<v Speaker 3>If somebody is related to somebody and it makes somebody
<v Speaker 3>interested to meet you, it gets.
<v Speaker 4>You in the room.
<v Speaker 3>But then you've got to have you gotta have something
<v Speaker 3>going on, You got something to keep you there, like
<v Speaker 3>you can't you can't. Look at Cooper Hoffman. I think
<v Speaker 3>that's Philip Seymour Hoffman's son, and go he only got
<v Speaker 3>it because his dad was the greatest American character actor.
<v Speaker 11>Like, and then there's the stereotype of like the lazy
<v Speaker 11>rich kid who has no ambition.
<v Speaker 8>You can't have both, you know, like you.
<v Speaker 3>Can't have But that's I think why it's a stanky
<v Speaker 3>kind of you know label, because it's like the people
<v Speaker 3>who come from it who didn't like put in the work.
<v Speaker 4>You want people, but.
<v Speaker 11>You have that, you have that in anything though, Like
<v Speaker 11>nobody nobody really gets mad at like somebody go who
<v Speaker 11>goes works for their parents' financial firm. You know, like
<v Speaker 11>that's not like, oh you only got this. It's like,
<v Speaker 11>oh yeah, it's expected, you know, like oh, my parents
<v Speaker 11>work in the minds, Like I'm probably gonna go work
<v Speaker 11>in the mines too, you know. Or like a family
<v Speaker 11>coffee shop. You know, nobody's like, oh, you work at
<v Speaker 11>this coffee shop because your parents own it.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 8>It's like, yeah, okay, that makes perfect sense.
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's kinds and sons. Yeah yeah, but you're
<v Speaker 3>the grandson.
<v Speaker 11>And I'm like you you know, my dad's an actor,
<v Speaker 11>and like I was raised on set and you know,
<v Speaker 11>that whole world like enamored me. Yeah, you know, being
<v Speaker 11>on a sound stage seeing the creation of all these
<v Speaker 11>different worlds, you know, especially a sci fi show, and
<v Speaker 11>it was like, yeah, no kidding, I want to do this,
<v Speaker 11>Like it's like my whole livelihood.
<v Speaker 8>It's my environment growing.
<v Speaker 3>Up Like totally I I you know what I was
<v Speaker 3>exposed to, Like I grew up on sound stages and
<v Speaker 3>you know, and in the publishing world and you know,
<v Speaker 3>with comics, and you know, that was just a huge
<v Speaker 3>part of what formed me and I love horror, and
<v Speaker 3>my dad wrote horror comics as well, and then just
<v Speaker 3>like kind of moving through all those phases. I didn't
<v Speaker 3>really know, but I did. There was one time my
<v Speaker 3>dad was doing a pilot with Jimmy Coomack, who was
<v Speaker 3>like the producer.
<v Speaker 4>Of like Welcome Back, Hotter and Cheap and the Man
<v Speaker 4>and like this is all the og back in the.
<v Speaker 3>Seven Yeah, And.
<v Speaker 13>It was a musical of Archie and it was comics
<v Speaker 13>Archie Comics and it was Audrey and Judy Landers and
<v Speaker 13>oh my god.
<v Speaker 4>I don't remember the rest of the cast, but I
<v Speaker 4>was like obsessed.
<v Speaker 3>With what was going on there. But all I wanted
<v Speaker 3>to do was to pretend to be a producer. And
<v Speaker 3>I was like eleven years old. Wow, And like I
<v Speaker 3>threw a scarf around.
<v Speaker 4>My neck because I thought that's.
<v Speaker 5>What us producers at wear scarves.
<v Speaker 4>A trill or whatever the hell is it.
<v Speaker 3>And I remember I grabbed they had like there was
<v Speaker 3>a script like on a chain in the audience seats,
<v Speaker 3>and I put it under my arm and I was
<v Speaker 3>terrified that somebody was gonna go, what are you doing with.
<v Speaker 4>That little boy?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?
<v Speaker 3>Because my hair was like so short, and everybody called
<v Speaker 3>me him when I was ten and eleven, and I
<v Speaker 3>remember Jimmy Coomack, let me do the warm up for
<v Speaker 3>the audience when I was eleven and tell jokes and wow, yeah, you.
<v Speaker 1>Must have had a lot of gland. That's awesome.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah I had some glands. Yeah, I mean that's I
<v Speaker 3>think I told some inappropriate jokes, which is god.
<v Speaker 1>I'm tempted to ask if you can remember them or
<v Speaker 1>you just have to make up a new dirty joke.
<v Speaker 1>I suppose I.
<v Speaker 3>Remember one which was like, how does an alien or
<v Speaker 3>somebody put on deodorant?
<v Speaker 4>And then I just sprayed the deodorantk like this, like
<v Speaker 4>it was like an after it's a visual it is.
<v Speaker 5>That's right, hopefully they're watching.
<v Speaker 2>Can I ask you, do you find it easier to
<v Speaker 2>be an active teching directions, obey the director giving the directions.
<v Speaker 4>Here's the thing I love as an actor a director
<v Speaker 4>who gives me a direction.
<v Speaker 3>But you know, being an actor who's done many different series,
<v Speaker 3>like you know, seven seasons of Californication, thirteen seasons of
<v Speaker 3>King of the Hill and whatever else I've done, you know,
<v Speaker 3>when somebody has something to offer you and That's where
<v Speaker 3>I learned the most. I caught myself because you want
<v Speaker 3>me to look at you here.
<v Speaker 4>That's where I learned the most as a director.
<v Speaker 3>Being an actor, because I knew the value when somebody
<v Speaker 3>would come to the show, like with the revolving directors,
<v Speaker 3>and you know, because actors don't give a shit about
<v Speaker 3>focal lengths. They don't care about whatever toys you've got.
<v Speaker 3>They need something, so tell me something. And when you're
<v Speaker 3>watching a show or a movie or a play, do
<v Speaker 3>you really care about the drone shot over the Florida
<v Speaker 3>Keys and roadhouse?
<v Speaker 8>Maybe not cautiously, but subconsciously, I think it asks.
<v Speaker 3>Acting is raw and bad. You're like, there was no
<v Speaker 3>director here. Yeah, So I'm I learned from being an actor,
<v Speaker 3>going daddy, daddy, give me something.
<v Speaker 4>You know.
<v Speaker 3>We don't need to talk about the three different well.
<v Speaker 1>Acting and reacting.
<v Speaker 3>It's yeah, yeah, and you that's why I'm like, you know,
<v Speaker 3>you've got to do the work before you go to work.
<v Speaker 3>So it's different for me. Like when I'm an actor,
<v Speaker 3>I do my line work and everything when I get
<v Speaker 3>to the set. As a director, I think about the
<v Speaker 3>whole piece, but I like to work organically with everybody
<v Speaker 3>who's there as an actor as well, but you're within
<v Speaker 3>the constraints of the director's vision.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but I love I love both, you know.
<v Speaker 3>I just did an episode of Elle's Beth, which was
<v Speaker 3>on this week this last week, and when I went there,
<v Speaker 3>I was like.
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, I think I forgot how to I
<v Speaker 4>can't do this. And on day three, after lunch, I
<v Speaker 4>was like, oh, I get it. It's a totally different thing,
<v Speaker 4>totally and it was so much fun.
<v Speaker 3>And I just love that. I you know, And I'm
<v Speaker 3>gonna do an episode of this show called mid Century
<v Speaker 3>Modern this week and play Nathan Lane's sister and Linda
<v Speaker 3>Levin's daughter.
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, Nathan Lane's sister.
<v Speaker 3>I'm dying, like wow. And if you guys haven't seen
<v Speaker 3>The bird Cage or the original Alice, forget it, go
<v Speaker 3>see it now. But you know, it's like I'm going
<v Speaker 3>across the genres still, like that's the way I came up.
<v Speaker 3>So I did Ell'sbeth and now I'm gonna do mid
<v Speaker 3>Century Modern, which is like a multi cam which I
<v Speaker 3>haven't done, you know in probably like eighteen years.
<v Speaker 8>Was Californiation, no single interesting. I wouldn't have thought that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, wow, it's well done.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, how long were the days on that show?
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know. Not to not too brutal, not
<v Speaker 3>too bad for me, but yeah, you know, yeah, we
<v Speaker 3>weren't multi cam on that, but it really is like
<v Speaker 3>so for me, I just directed a feature.
<v Speaker 4>And then I just I did ELL's Beth. I'm gonna
<v Speaker 4>do mid century Monitorn.
<v Speaker 3>But the consistent, the consistency of animation has stayed in
<v Speaker 3>my life and it's like I can't even believe it.
<v Speaker 4>Like I pinch.
<v Speaker 3>Myself that, you know, I get to still go to
<v Speaker 3>l A Studios every other week, and you know what
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Like, you know, because I do like Hamster
<v Speaker 3>and Gretel, and I go and I look at the
<v Speaker 3>animation and I'm like, this is incredible.
<v Speaker 5>Hamster and Gretel. That's nice.
<v Speaker 4>That's Dan Pohenmeyer's it's funny.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well he's They're pretty good, so good. They really
<v Speaker 1>are y.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they're perfect weirdos, which I love that about them.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, like there their eccentricity has all of the
<v Speaker 3>stuff like that we came from now as part.
<v Speaker 7>Of what we do.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh it's so true. So when when you come
<v Speaker 1>up with characters. Do you do the same thing I do,
<v Speaker 1>do bad impressions every relatives and people like that? How
<v Speaker 1>do you conjure up your your critters? Because I've I've
<v Speaker 1>had people have asked me this, so I figured I'm
<v Speaker 1>going to turn around and ask it of others. As
<v Speaker 1>you know, I have a mini philosophy that if you
<v Speaker 1>do a perfect impression of somebody, nobody knows, it's a
<v Speaker 1>new character because they don't know that, right. If you
<v Speaker 1>do a terrible impression, if someone everybody knows, they don't
<v Speaker 1>even know who it is, that's a new character. And
<v Speaker 1>if you put two people together and kind of come
<v Speaker 1>up with what what you know? Like I have a
<v Speaker 1>character Hondu on Naka, who's u Ule Brenner and Charles Bronson.
<v Speaker 1>Now that would be one ugly kid, but actually Honda's
<v Speaker 1>not that good looking. Submita maybe that sound like Willie?
<v Speaker 1>He sort of sounds like this. You know, I can't
<v Speaker 1>believe the good fortune that you must have had to
<v Speaker 1>have run into me today, because you see, I have
<v Speaker 1>an investment opportunity for you. Just a me your ballet,
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he's he's that's him. Oh, and that's
<v Speaker 1>Brent Brennan and Charles Bronson, and no one's ever busted
<v Speaker 1>me on.
<v Speaker 4>It, because nobody could ever, Are you kidding?
<v Speaker 3>I do have a Charles Bronson on black velvet in
<v Speaker 3>the living room of my house that I w Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>I also have a painting of George C. Scott as
<v Speaker 4>patent and the rat Pack, like these are the things.
<v Speaker 5>That Charles Bronson.
<v Speaker 4>I'm oh, yeah, I'll take a picture and send it
<v Speaker 4>to you please.
<v Speaker 5>I know, you know, that's wonderful.
<v Speaker 4>Of course I do my relatives, of course, yeah, of course.
<v Speaker 3>And you know whenever I mean, I mean reality shows.
<v Speaker 3>If you like see a character on a reality show,
<v Speaker 3>you're like, you pause it and you go back. You're like,
<v Speaker 3>this is insane, Like this is the best opportunity for
<v Speaker 3>this voice. But we don't have as many jobs and
<v Speaker 3>opportunities to do it anymore.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, and creators are doing their own voices.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know, I know, I know, but like I remember,
<v Speaker 3>I remember this girl in a park one time, and
<v Speaker 3>and like everybody's got like a different like she didn't
<v Speaker 3>have enough lip and she was like, did you see
<v Speaker 3>my dog?
<v Speaker 14>You know, And there's different things that you know, I
<v Speaker 14>used to answer the phone at home and an answer Hell,
<v Speaker 14>and my daughters would It's so funny because I'm dry, right.
<v Speaker 1>I hate those voices that you have to sustain for
<v Speaker 1>four hours.
<v Speaker 3>So when you're doing like a female your dad, don't
<v Speaker 3>you know? Man? You know now I sound like Andy Kaufman.
<v Speaker 1>But they're all in there.
<v Speaker 3>They're all in there.
<v Speaker 1>Well exactly, he's well, he was Geens. I think it
<v Speaker 1>was Geene Autry's sidekick, the old. He was one of
<v Speaker 1>the old. He was one of the old sidekicks from Westerns.
<v Speaker 4>You know.
<v Speaker 3>You said Critters to me, and I remember one of
<v Speaker 3>my first also jobs was Capital Critters. Hannah BARBERA, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 3>I remember that. I still look at that building and
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, yeah, yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right across from yeah that.
<v Speaker 6>I was surprised they took that down because they made
<v Speaker 6>it an apartment build.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 5>I not that it should have been in the Smithsonian,
<v Speaker 5>but it was weird. I think it should.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah about animation studios and now an apartment building.
<v Speaker 4>We need helping too, okay, we need housing.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, it's it's this just like generic building across
<v Speaker 3>from La Studios on Kuwanga, and they.
<v Speaker 1>Churned out so many cartoons for so many years, you
<v Speaker 1>know what cracks me up. And I can still see
<v Speaker 1>them doing it, that some of the animators, because they
<v Speaker 1>all worked, they were right there. Everything happened at Hanna
<v Speaker 1>Barbara Boom boom. Here's the music, here's recording, here's Gordon Hunt,
<v Speaker 1>here's okay, and now here's the art room. Here were okay,
<v Speaker 1>good and and they were painting all these cells. And
<v Speaker 1>they had these really really thick cells, animation cells, and
<v Speaker 1>they would flick them down the hallway then run and
<v Speaker 1>jump and slide on them and ruin them. And you'd
<v Speaker 1>go out and see the dumpster, you know, because it
<v Speaker 1>was out there where you parked your car, not behind it,
<v Speaker 1>and there would be piles like this thick. I mean
<v Speaker 1>it had to weigh probably like fifty pounds. Just o
<v Speaker 1>Adam a huckleberry Hound or Quicktor who only knows, you know,
<v Speaker 1>the Flintstone Flintstone kids. And they were all these cells
<v Speaker 1>that nowadays would be like, you know, you grab a
<v Speaker 1>hold of that and you could sell it and retire.
<v Speaker 8>Well that's it.
<v Speaker 11>At the time, they probably don't think it's ever going
<v Speaker 11>to be valuable. Yeah, I mean even at the time
<v Speaker 11>of recording this, like if you told me sometime in
<v Speaker 11>the future, like SD cards are going to be valuable,
<v Speaker 11>like oh, this is the original SD.
<v Speaker 3>Card, you know, an iPod first generation or your Walkman.
<v Speaker 3>Because everybody so fetishizes the past, but they're so eager
<v Speaker 3>to wipe it away.
<v Speaker 2>You know.
<v Speaker 3>People aren't taking care of archiving, you know, and it's
<v Speaker 3>getting a race, just like racism. So anyway, sorry, ll
<v Speaker 3>let's not go there. Cool women are great clue.
<v Speaker 4>But I did my first series.
<v Speaker 3>Animated series at LA Studios when they used to have
<v Speaker 3>Jimmy in the bathroom.
<v Speaker 7>There we go.
<v Speaker 4>Do you remember what they had in the bathrooms at
<v Speaker 4>L A Studios? This is how far back we go.
<v Speaker 3>When George used to be in the upstairs and he
<v Speaker 3>would say, you remember the engineer George from upstairs at
<v Speaker 3>LA Studios who like plays in a band at the
<v Speaker 3>Baked Potato.
<v Speaker 4>Still he used to be in.
<v Speaker 3>Like studios c upstairs. He would say, okay, roll the
<v Speaker 3>black shit because it was these.
<v Speaker 1>Big, big, gigantic spools and it was taped like this
<v Speaker 1>thick wide.
<v Speaker 3>And George would always go, roll the black shit. I
<v Speaker 3>mean I started doing animation when we would go in
<v Speaker 3>audition in the booth and they would tighten the reels. Yes,
<v Speaker 3>my agents would tighten the reels. That's right, It's so unbelievable. Yeah, exactly.
<v Speaker 1>It was like, Yeah, if you're a fan of everything

<v Speaker 3>took place in La and I bleed sparks and.

<v Speaker 4>a kid.
<v Speaker 3>And then you know, Jeff Bennett was in it, and
<v Speaker 3>I remember he had a line that he was like,
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna get some food tubes and we're gonna rise down,

<v Speaker 4>I know.
<v Speaker 3>And how we used to always.
<v Speaker 4>We would all do shows together, yeah.

<v Speaker 1>do it.
<v Speaker 3>We miss it, we miss it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, make a note.
<v Speaker 3>I did one series with Taj Mahal that he did
<v Speaker 3>a voice in and he would like have his steel
<v Speaker 3>row yeah yeah, and he kept he would clang the
<v Speaker 3>guitar like against the mic stand and be like.
<v Speaker 1>Is this usable?
<v Speaker 3>Ye? Like Mahal like we would all hang out together
<v Speaker 3>and I was pregnant with my first daughter, and taj
<v Speaker 3>Mahal sang a song to her while she was in
<v Speaker 3>my belt.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on, what do you one egg in
<v Speaker 1>your beer? That's that's some legendaryes right there.
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there's a brown girl in the ring. Larry

<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Everybody was like I mean, I always got cast
<v Speaker 3>is like you don't. I don't need you. I don't
<v Speaker 3>need anybody like That's that for the.
<v Speaker 5>Bully or like the Irish, like.
<v Speaker 3>Like what was the one on Jaker's I was hactor, hactor,
<v Speaker 3>you know you are Irish the goals with the Tar
<v Speaker 3>team fingers.
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just like, yeah, I hate I hate the
<v Speaker 1>voices that do that to me. That's my When we
<v Speaker 1>were doing the Tasmania show, I always did it on
<v Speaker 1>Friday afternoon just because I didn't want to, you know,
<v Speaker 1>I shred my pipes.
<v Speaker 3>No, I remember doing like I did a ton of games,
<v Speaker 3>which I'm sure.
<v Speaker 4>You did, and those were the hardest to do, hours
<v Speaker 4>and hours.
<v Speaker 5>No, it's tedious. Yeah, you know, Okay, you're falling from
<v Speaker 5>five feet. Now, you're falling from ten feet. Now you're
<v Speaker 5>following me. Now, you're falling from the third moon of Jupiter.
<v Speaker 3>You know.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I'm falling.
<v Speaker 4>Huh, it's so.
<v Speaker 1>And you're on fire, by the way, you're on fire
<v Speaker 1>and you're in acid bath.
<v Speaker 3>I did this one game, Pajama Sam, for like many
<v Speaker 3>different reboots and boots of this game.
<v Speaker 4>And Pajama Sam.
<v Speaker 12>There's no need to hide when it's stark outside theers.
<v Speaker 4>Don't need to hide. I'm not afraid.
<v Speaker 3>Monster's move to the dresser, open the door. And then
<v Speaker 3>I did the voice of Arthur, which was Microsoft was
<v Speaker 3>like going into like making this. It was a giant
<v Speaker 3>doll that they sold for like one hundred and fifty
<v Speaker 3>dollars good luck.
<v Speaker 4>And it took me a year and it was so hard.
<v Speaker 3>Because the voice had to be pure, like it had
<v Speaker 3>to be like right here right. It couldn't crack, it
<v Speaker 3>couldn't go up or down because the chip in the doll.
<v Speaker 3>So the number one direction I would always get would
<v Speaker 3>be like say it with a smile? Can you say
<v Speaker 3>it with a smile? And I would do those sessions
<v Speaker 3>with the picture of my daughters on the mike stand
<v Speaker 3>on the music stand, going I'm doing it for them.
<v Speaker 3>That's right, that's right, because nobody else was earning money.
<v Speaker 3>No offense, yes, offense.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know. I had a job like that, and
<v Speaker 1>a Square magazine gave it the Dubious Achievement of the
<v Speaker 1>Year award just for the name, and it was called
<v Speaker 1>my Interactive Pooh, Oh my God, and I was my
<v Speaker 1>Interactive Pooh. And all I could imagine is it's just
<v Speaker 1>a lump of brown clay. But anyway, yeah, you know,
<v Speaker 1>but it was pooh and it was and it was
<v Speaker 1>like little stories. Well, one day I was going through
<v Speaker 1>the woods with my friend Fred and then I said
<v Speaker 1>to him, Freddy.
<v Speaker 5>Would you like to come over here, Freddy? And and
<v Speaker 5>it was and it was all and then I here
<v Speaker 5>it comes fred and you know, oh, my god. And
<v Speaker 5>the red was that I had to say every name
<v Speaker 5>on earth.
<v Speaker 4>Because you had then say there, oh God.
<v Speaker 5>So we would do the story and I would just
<v Speaker 5>put a gap for the name, and then the story.
<v Speaker 1>Would continue, stories over and now we have to start
<v Speaker 1>Adam Admar Abdul.
<v Speaker 5>And by the time I got zero single and I
<v Speaker 5>was in the esses forever, O my god, who knew?
<v Speaker 5>And because of the.
<v Speaker 1>Chatauqua, Shaboozy, Chapanowitz, chag Fort and.
<v Speaker 5>And just on and on and on and on until
<v Speaker 5>and they wanted me to do three in a row
<v Speaker 5>so that they could pick I just I.
<v Speaker 1>Will do one. How long they were millions of names, thousands,
<v Speaker 1>over ten thousand names.
<v Speaker 3>I just I so yeah. I did so many toys
<v Speaker 3>and games and and then I started getting into you know,
<v Speaker 3>the dubbing the anime with Jack Fletcher, and I did
<v Speaker 3>like a whole bunch of stuff with him.
<v Speaker 7>You know.
<v Speaker 3>We did Kiki Gege's Delivery Service. We did Trumpet of
<v Speaker 3>the Swan, I mean, which is like so fascinating because
<v Speaker 3>they find a way to make English come out of
<v Speaker 3>Japanese mouth flaps.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it worked.
<v Speaker 3>It was incredible. And then I did a film called
<v Speaker 3>Vampire Hunter D which the I think that was like
<v Speaker 3>the first CG and the animation was gorgeous, the anime tricks.
<v Speaker 3>But I remember like working with Ginny McSwain and she
<v Speaker 3>calls me diaper to this.
<v Speaker 4>Day, like if I see her, she'll be like, diaper.
<v Speaker 5>Oh that's because because I did.
<v Speaker 4>I was the voice of Love's Diapers for many years and.
<v Speaker 12>I would be high, I'm little Loves.
<v Speaker 3>And I did all these commercials and I was a diaper. Wow,
<v Speaker 3>and so Ginny called me diaper from then on.
<v Speaker 1>Wow.
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.
<v Speaker 1>Well you win the weird.
<v Speaker 3>You're what fills me up. You were the interactive poop poo.
<v Speaker 3>I am the diper. Gave the gig come to me, Jimmy.
<v Speaker 2>What I love about doing this podcast is you can
<v Speaker 2>just tell that it's such a family that iights nanties
<v Speaker 2>voice community would just are you close? Do you think
<v Speaker 2>that kind of community in today's voice existed? I don't
<v Speaker 2>feel like it, does it.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so it.
<v Speaker 3>Can't because everybody is remote and people work in an
<v Speaker 3>isolated vacuum.
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's interesting.
<v Speaker 11>We were talking about this a couple of weeks ago
<v Speaker 11>on a podcast and it's interesting how like this topic
<v Speaker 11>has come up, you know, over and over again on
<v Speaker 11>this podcast about you know, the old days working in
<v Speaker 11>a studio together. And I find it fascinating now that
<v Speaker 11>like the voice actors get together in a studio now
<v Speaker 11>for a podcast instead of doing their work. You know,
<v Speaker 11>the only time that we're in studio together, you know,
<v Speaker 11>is a different kind of studio.
<v Speaker 4>It's evolved, and it's really true. I mean we were
<v Speaker 4>there like we used to be like Green Rooms, you know,
<v Speaker 4>at can Hill. We'd spend the whole day and like
<v Speaker 4>you know, like.
<v Speaker 3>Gwen Stefani, Yeah, No Doubt was in the show and
<v Speaker 3>we'd hang out with with Gwen Stefani and then Green
<v Speaker 3>Day was in the show. Is it. Yeah, she's probably lost.
<v Speaker 1>Like I will.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's one thing about King of the Hill, because
<v Speaker 2>I do a podcast on King of the Hill, and
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't believe even in the first season, just how
<v Speaker 2>many amazing. I think it was like episode four and
<v Speaker 2>you had Willie Nelson on the show and guest stars
<v Speaker 2>from the get go.
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I think that that was episode like yeah,
<v Speaker 3>because I always thought it was like the pilot or something,
<v Speaker 3>but it was Willie Nelson and Pat Marita.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and that was wee maatime yet, wasn't it.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I know it's the golf one.
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, I remember.
<v Speaker 2>So it's called Hank Hank Got the Willies. I think
<v Speaker 2>it's called or something like that.
<v Speaker 7>Yes.
<v Speaker 3>Yes. We recorded the entire first season of King of
<v Speaker 3>the Hill at Fox on the Darryl Zanak stage on
<v Speaker 3>a sound stage. Okay, listen, whoa We would be in
<v Speaker 3>a sound stage all day not we couldn't make any noise.
<v Speaker 3>And then the the studio was basically four three baffled
<v Speaker 3>walls in the back of the sound stage, and I
<v Speaker 3>remember Willie Nelson and Pat Marita.
<v Speaker 4>Being back there and then joining them. I was just unbelievable.
<v Speaker 1>I remember I worked with Pat Rita a few times,
<v Speaker 1>and he was notorious for indulging and bibing a little
<v Speaker 1>bit of the weed of no I think it was
<v Speaker 1>more of a liquid nature. But he walked in. We're
<v Speaker 1>sitting over there at B and B and we're all
<v Speaker 1>sitting around like, go, oh, this will be so cool,
<v Speaker 1>you know. And it was karate kid. We were actually
<v Speaker 1>doing a Karate Kid and he was playing himself. Wow
<v Speaker 1>and uh and and so he comes walking in, you know,
<v Speaker 1>and he's doing the best drunk walk you've ever seen.
<v Speaker 4>Oh wow.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and don't everybody, It's gonna be fun. It's gonna
<v Speaker 1>be fun. Anyway. Can I have a coffee?
<v Speaker 4>You know?
<v Speaker 1>And everybody went thank you. I was he's he's so,
<v Speaker 1>we can do it. We can do it, Okay, we
<v Speaker 1>can do it now. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>I mean we got to work with so many people.
<v Speaker 15>I mean, Tony Anselmo was our Donald Duck when we
<v Speaker 15>did Quack Pack, and Wayne and Ruci I worked with
<v Speaker 15>Wayne and.
<v Speaker 5>Rucy McKey and Minnie in real life, and then also.
<v Speaker 4>They were married, were married, and then were never married.
<v Speaker 3>Charles Fleischer was the voice of Roger Rabbit, who.
<v Speaker 4>Was like.
<v Speaker 3>A stone cold Jean.
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, I'm in the middle of record.
<v Speaker 3>Wait, what is my name?
<v Speaker 4>Diaper?

<v Speaker 4>Person all the time.
<v Speaker 5>You're so sweet and.
<v Speaker 12>That's what I love, and that's what I loved watching
<v Speaker 12>your show.
<v Speaker 4>I thought this is you know, it's.
<v Speaker 10>Very European, because whenever you saw like a foreign film.
<v Speaker 10>What I loved about foreign films. It was like a
<v Speaker 10>slice of life. Remember they didn't have a beginning mil
<v Speaker 10>entire and I would watch your take a subject matter
<v Speaker 10>and that wonderful fucking cast I was. I was like,
<v Speaker 10>I could have called you after everyone and stayed up
<v Speaker 10>all night talking to you. Oh they were Jim, did
<v Speaker 10>you watch this series? I was like, I was, Yes,
<v Speaker 10>I thought, this is magic, this is this girl. And
<v Speaker 10>some of the concepts and some of the lines that
<v Speaker 10>died your cast.
<v Speaker 3>Oh, come on, did you see the one I had
<v Speaker 3>Billy West and yes, and Billy did the wind.
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, he just my boyfriend Kevin Michael Richardson on there,
<v Speaker 10>well doing is Tony said, Oh that's right. Oh this
<v Speaker 10>is stuff that I was like, Oh yeah she did.
<v Speaker 10>She did, like saturated with all the boystown it.
<v Speaker 4>I loved it. It was about her film career.
<v Speaker 10>It was about those girls, the daughters, you know, bitchy
<v Speaker 10>sassy daughters and darling seeing them grow up on your show,
<v Speaker 10>Oh my god, and girls that wonderful English actress to
<v Speaker 10>play your mother.
<v Speaker 4>Celia Emery, such a sadam and.
<v Speaker 12>You and your increased summer I know, you know, that's
<v Speaker 12>so I'm.
<v Speaker 3>So happy you brought that up, because the thing about
<v Speaker 3>that is that Cree had not been on camera for
<v Speaker 3>twenty five years.
<v Speaker 5>Wow, that does sound right.
<v Speaker 4>She heard she was on Bill Cosby Spinis.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.
<v Speaker 9>I mean when I was pregnant my first daughter, I
<v Speaker 9>was doing seven shows and one of them or two
<v Speaker 9>of them was with Cree. But Cree was so freaked
<v Speaker 9>out because she hadn't been on camera in so long
<v Speaker 9>that Felicia Fizano, my casting director, she called me and
<v Speaker 9>said Cree didn't show up and I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 9>so we had to get create to get.
<v Speaker 4>Her back in there.
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god.
<v Speaker 3>And it was so awesome because you know, it's like
<v Speaker 3>we're so loved and embraced in this community that.
<v Speaker 4>That you're picking up on, you know, and this like
<v Speaker 4>this woman kept hiring me.
<v Speaker 3>Can I can?
<v Speaker 1>I well?
<v Speaker 10>Because and we never had a big show together. We
<v Speaker 10>had a lot of guest stars until we did Duck Days.
<v Speaker 4>Was that what was called?
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, we hit Quackpack or whatever, and and and they
<v Speaker 12>were the Huey Dewey and Louis.
<v Speaker 4>Elias. I wasn't Duck Days. I was in quack Pack High.
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, That's why I brought my resume because I but
<v Speaker 12>this girl.
<v Speaker 4>I mean I was in but you know, even on
<v Speaker 4>minor things. But one little thing about Chree.
<v Speaker 10>Summer Marcia Goodman found her in Toronto doing and this
<v Speaker 10>she was like sixteen seventeen, and then she would send me.
<v Speaker 10>I was, you know, the gun for a hire, you know,
<v Speaker 10>working for crazy Andy Hayward and who I love, and
<v Speaker 10>I would go and meet this.
<v Speaker 4>Girl named Cree and the rest is history. She came
<v Speaker 4>through Deek Dick as we called it, Deep Deep, she
<v Speaker 4>came through there.
<v Speaker 10>And that's she was a rock star voice when she
<v Speaker 10>was like eighteen, totally and I love her too.
<v Speaker 12>I don't see, you know, I don't see anybody, and
<v Speaker 12>this is like a big deal for me to be here.
<v Speaker 4>So I still see Creed, I still see and I
<v Speaker 4>see your buddy at La Studios, who's got the office
<v Speaker 4>in the back.
<v Speaker 10>I haven't been inside that studio since twenty nineteen. And
<v Speaker 10>I left finishing up some shows and I was turning
<v Speaker 10>a certain number, and I thought, you know, this is
<v Speaker 10>probably going to be it if Amy Simony met me
<v Speaker 10>outside of Studio Studiopolis and said, oh you're I'm sorry
<v Speaker 10>you were talking. I'm going I went to La you're
<v Speaker 10>talking about La Studios, Jeff Howell, That's what I Yes,
<v Speaker 10>I was just went John last night, No kidding the beauty.
<v Speaker 12>Oh yeah, we're really good friend.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah that's great.
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I mean he drove Miss Daisy to It's not
<v Speaker 12>something last night.
<v Speaker 4>And he where did he? Where did Hope? Miss d
<v Speaker 4>Halk and I are quite a thing. And you know
<v Speaker 4>he's like the dubbing king. Now, he is tremendous.
<v Speaker 12>H How do you want to say he's like the
<v Speaker 12>king of dubbing like Jack?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, yes, and that's what he does exclusively, and he
<v Speaker 10>zoom classes and all this shit. I don't know anybody
<v Speaker 10>does it, but you know, leaving in twenty nineteen, wrapping
<v Speaker 10>it up, I can still see it was the fall
<v Speaker 10>of twenty nineteen.
<v Speaker 4>Who knew what was ahead of us.
<v Speaker 10>I remember Jamie Simoni back at Studio Studiopolis saying to me,
<v Speaker 10>you know, I think I might have something for you
<v Speaker 10>in March, and I was like, oh, okay, I wrote that,
<v Speaker 10>And of course the pandemic hit and everything changed and
<v Speaker 10>I did kind of a failed series.
<v Speaker 4>I shouldn't probably mention it.
<v Speaker 10>I will magic the gathering we did twelve episodes and
<v Speaker 10>my dear friend Jeff excuse me, I'm so excited. Jeff
<v Speaker 10>Lein hired me, and of course it was twenty it
<v Speaker 10>was twenty twenty fall.
<v Speaker 4>He gets in touch with me and I'm thinking this
<v Speaker 4>is all over for me.
<v Speaker 12>And I don't really care. I'm really kind of done.
<v Speaker 10>But he called me if he said, Jenny, I want
<v Speaker 10>you to do this, and it was this fantasy if
<v Speaker 10>you know, magic, the gathering. It's not my thing at all.
<v Speaker 10>But we ended up long story shirt. We had a
<v Speaker 10>great cast.
<v Speaker 12>The show was like just shoot me. It's like the
<v Speaker 12>scripts were like hereing cancer. Oh, just not my thing.
<v Speaker 12>And you know, I worked my ass up. We had
<v Speaker 12>a great cast and they mostly came in during it.
<v Speaker 12>We started recording in the.
<v Speaker 4>Vault, no you know, on January sixth, the insurgent day.
<v Speaker 4>That was my first It should have been a sign.
<v Speaker 12>But we did twelve episodes. Jeff Howell I dragged him
<v Speaker 12>to be.
<v Speaker 10>My assistant and he's fabulous. And that's the La Studios
<v Speaker 10>thing where he said, you know, I said, if you.
<v Speaker 12>Ever run into pay him coming in.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And and then so we did. It did pick
<v Speaker 4>up a year later and then they pulled it yea,
<v Speaker 4>and I hear they're doing it again. Mazzele talk everybody.
<v Speaker 3>Joy, have a ball, try the veal.
<v Speaker 4>I don't be here all week.
<v Speaker 12>But was very eclectic and they most of them came in.
<v Speaker 10>Of course they were masked, and you know, we had
<v Speaker 10>the you know, the barriers and all that stuff, and uh,
<v Speaker 10>Stephen Root was in it.
<v Speaker 12>We had some beautiful people.
<v Speaker 4>I love him, Oh my god. Yeah, he's like an uncle.
<v Speaker 12>So the ones I like, I really like, and the
<v Speaker 12>ones that I don't I never have.
<v Speaker 4>To see again.
<v Speaker 7>That's right.
<v Speaker 4>Didn't you also direct me in pajama Sam?
<v Speaker 7>Yes?
<v Speaker 12>Oh, I don't know if that's on my resume.
<v Speaker 3>You should that people are like obsessed with pajamas and
<v Speaker 3>Tamma Sam.
<v Speaker 4>So it was the only reason it.
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't painful is because I got to studios Mama and
<v Speaker 3>we did it together and she was like, say it again.
<v Speaker 4>Five bucks, let me beat you out. I remember all
<v Speaker 4>of it. Five bucks, let me beat you out.
<v Speaker 12>Have cash and standis kind of like with you, fifty bucks.
<v Speaker 3>If you'll you know, I'll oh the constant, constant, like
<v Speaker 3>can I tell you something?
<v Speaker 4>You'll go to the door.
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, because oh, my god, you do the best boys
<v Speaker 10>and the funny boys. But I'm going to tell you something,
<v Speaker 10>and I hope this is in the podcast because I
<v Speaker 10>hate to say this.
<v Speaker 12>After almost forty five years, this is going to be
<v Speaker 12>me me I.
<v Speaker 4>Right now, I'm gonna say, yeah, I did a lot
<v Speaker 4>of shows.
<v Speaker 10>But I did it because I loved you guys, the
<v Speaker 10>actors I loved, I loved all away and when I
<v Speaker 10>was having a shitty day or shitty time on the show, totally.
<v Speaker 10>And by the way, we had some great writers. We
<v Speaker 10>had some Oh Ken Kessel, he was talking to him.
<v Speaker 10>He used to call me cupcakes mix sweet cupcake.
<v Speaker 5>I was thinking of that seconds ago.
<v Speaker 10>But we had some really serious, wonderful people in that
<v Speaker 10>booth with us, and of course, you know, we'll we'll
<v Speaker 10>get into that. But anyway, I did it for I
<v Speaker 10>was I was as director, and I loved talking and
<v Speaker 10>being with you guys.
<v Speaker 4>Most of the time, we didn't understand what we were saying. No,
<v Speaker 4>and Charlie Adler would say.
<v Speaker 10>Just saying a fucking lie and shut up, you know,
<v Speaker 10>And I mean you're already thinking it, you know.
<v Speaker 3>By the way, I would be like, I don't understand
<v Speaker 3>why the jungle is with my banana or.
<v Speaker 10>Whatever you think?
<v Speaker 4>Are you fucking kidding me?
<v Speaker 12>Charlie came out long later.
<v Speaker 4>He was you know, he was a voice player later.
<v Speaker 4>I mean he was my no, no, no, this is
<v Speaker 4>when he was an actor.
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen it?
<v Speaker 4>We would turn to. No, you know, I haven't seen Charlie.
<v Speaker 4>He's Moses.
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, and he's got a nice marriage going on and
<v Speaker 10>totally looks like it's very very God.
<v Speaker 4>I had not talked to Charlie and he's ghosting me,
<v Speaker 4>so that's there. Yeah, I lost him. I lost him
<v Speaker 4>in the shuffle.
<v Speaker 12>But yeah, just just knowing you guys, and you have
<v Speaker 12>to understand what you did. I mean, we didn't.
<v Speaker 10>I stopped having when I was voice directing, and you know,
<v Speaker 10>I don't say I was the first female director out
<v Speaker 10>there or director. There wasn't a thing called a voice
<v Speaker 10>director until Gordon Hunt and I started together.
<v Speaker 12>And Gordon was my ment Hanna, I mean, do you
<v Speaker 12>want to hear all this?
<v Speaker 4>I mean, yeah, please, Okay, what was I saying you're
<v Speaker 4>talking about? That's fascinating Gordon Hunt. Helen Hunt's dead.
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, yeah, Well because Joe Barbara brought Gordon Hunt in,
<v Speaker 10>who had done it a play that I think Joe
<v Speaker 10>had written in the late fifties.
<v Speaker 4>So Gordon Hunt directed that play. I don't know, you
<v Speaker 4>know how they met be that. But then, you know,
<v Speaker 4>don't forget this.
<v Speaker 10>World was creator driven. This wasn't about a voice director.
<v Speaker 10>The creators all directed their own shows, whether whether they
<v Speaker 10>could or not, and Joe Verra, you know, directed a
<v Speaker 10>lot of them.
<v Speaker 12>And that's you know, that's how this all came together.
<v Speaker 12>And but later there was a show called Wait Till
<v Speaker 12>Your Father Comes Home.
<v Speaker 5>Wait Till your Father Gets Home?
<v Speaker 4>The live actions? Is there a live action? Yeah, well
<v Speaker 4>this was it. This was Wait Till your.
<v Speaker 10>Father gets Until your Father Yeah, we watched The Sopranos
<v Speaker 10>and your show.
<v Speaker 12>Yeah yeah, so I probably don't know that, and I
<v Speaker 12>was watching Good Pillows before I came home.
