But 21 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.040 yeah, but I'll be trying to make my world famous dressing. So that's 22 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.280 world famous dressing. So, Chris, is it actually worthy of the name 23 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:33.280 world famous dressing? Or absolutely?

Well, my secret ingredient is bread, that's 29 00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:00.040 all. Okay? Maybe someone maybe some o young, some a little bit 30 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:09.199 of a little bit maybe you know optional or yeah and uh, and then 31 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:15.120 you drive drive it around New Orleans a couple of times and it comes out 32 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.520 really well, who taught you the recipe a lot Mama Cummings or oh yeah, 33 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.000 yeah, my mom did. Yeah, and then I just sort of 34 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.319 refined it. And every now and then you're throwing some mushrooms or something and 35 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.199 you know, a little whatever the local flavor is. It's a beautiful thing, 36 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:31.840 all right, Chris. And you you're also not gonna be home for 37 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.479 Thanksgiving? Eye? Was it next week? You're getting away? Well, 38 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.960 I'm yeah, I'm bypassing Thanksgiving this year because I'm leaving to Japan on Monday. 39 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.840 So I didn't want to have back to back travel dates. So I'm 40 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:49.039 just taking it easy. I'm probably gonna go see some friends and uh yeah, 41 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.960 take it easy. Yeah. Have have a little turkey, little ham 42 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.360 you know some uh some mac and cheese. Is turkey? That the one 43 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.439 thing you have to eat on Thanksgiving? And you go with it. You 44 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.039 have to you have to have to do. You guys have Thanksgiving down Andrew? 45 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.240 No, we do not know. We we have nothing to give thanks 46 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:14.439 for. So is there anything similar? Uh no, we don't at all. 47 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.439 No. Well, you have first of July, so we have that's 48 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.159 Australia Day for us. We have nothing Thanksgiving. I feel like now though, 49 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.960 we'll definitely. Now, the Black Friday sales are a big thing. 50 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.120 It's just they've just they've taken the Black Friday sales. But we don't actually 51 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.560 have Thanksgiving, but we have Black Friday sales and they've already started. They 52 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:35.599 start them like last week. Over Lord's Amazon have put that on us. 53 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.759 Yes, it really has. Yeah, but I think we're just very grateful 54 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.919 just living Australia in general. But we're just just happy all the time. 55 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.719 Everyone has their own beach exactly right, we went back yet, what about 56 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.520 Anzac Day and day? That's sort of like a day of remembrance. Yeah, 57 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:55.000 I guess you give thanks on that because you remember those who fought. 58 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.120 Yeah, but it's it's more of a day of remembering the soldiers more and 59 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.520 giving thanks. But it's not a similar kind of thing to giving thanks, 60 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.840 like yeah, Thanksgiving. But you know an excuse day turkey there right? 61 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:11.080 Oh yeah, yeah, Well it was when the Pilgrims and the Native Americans 62 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.439 got together and you know, realized they could get along peaceably, and they 63 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.120 traded recipes and next thing you know, there was this big old bodacious meal 64 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.839 there and so they gave thanks And is it just me or does I swear 65 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.160 Christmas gets advertised earlier and earlier every year. Okay, spoiler alert, the 66 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:35.240 kids put up the Christmas tree last weekend at our house.

It's bubbling, 95 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.920 it's poppin. I want to hear Jim sing the theme some one day. 96 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:23.959 We need to make that happen, okay, Yeah, or notes or 97 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.680 maybe a song that I actually did sing.

There's one we've already heard you singing those. 100 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:41.720 You're living in the past, gym, you're living in the past. 101 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.800 Yeah, it's nice back here. We just did a commentary exclusive Patreon of 102 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.639 the pilot of goof Troop Everything's coming out goofy and we touched on a few 103 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.120 of these things that we're going to touch on again in this podcast. But 104 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.399 basically I was just saying on that that you know, goof Trip reminds me 105 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.480 of Saturday mornings here in Australia, because here in Australia we didn't get the 106 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.560 afternoon shows. We got them on a Saturday morning on a show called Saturday 107 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.240 Disney. Whenever I think of Saturday Disney, immediately think of the goof Trip 108 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.000 theme and just sitting there with a bowl of cereal, dad out the front 109 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:13.519 mowing the lawn, just Saturday morning in Australia. What kind of cereal was 110 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.199 it like a cereal, we would know here was it? Well, if 111 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.120 it was if it was a Saturday, I would have been having probably fruit 112 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.319 loops or maybe cocoa pops. Oh so you were a health nut. Yes, 113 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.600 yes, yes, speaking of speaking of cereal and the nineties, do 114 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.519 you remember when there used to be toys in cereal? Remember when there was 115 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.519 toys in packets of chips as well? Yeah, clips, We did not 116 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.480 have that, really well, we had these things, so you had to 117 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.519 remember that at least, so you had pops. We had these things called 118 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.279 tazos, right, and they used to get them to put them in packets 119 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:46.560 of chips, so you have to buy packets of chips to collect them on. 120 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.720 We had like Simpsons tasos and Looney Tunes tasos and things like that, 121 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.639 Space Jam tasos, and they were a thing. And of course then the 122 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:58.600 PC police came out and went, you know, you're promoting that, you 123 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.439 know, unhealthy habits to children by putting things in potato chips. So they 124 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:07.480 stopped it and ruined the fun of ruined childhood for the future generation. Yeah. 125 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.319 I don't remember chips, but I definitely remember the cereal the cereal man. 126 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.519 We had Power Rangers, Pokemon, Oh, Disney Afternoon everything. It 127 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.279 was. Yeah, Well, whenever I'll do conventions, I will always I 128 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.199 always, always, always signed three or four, half dozen or at least 129 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.240 a half dozen, you know, of a different words. Now this one, 130 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.200 I got this on a Race Crispy. This was in a Race Crispy 131 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.320 box, you know, and I had to and I bought four until I 132 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.159 got to bonkers. But I finally got bonkers and I said, oh that's 133 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.519 great, you know, and I signed them and they were in there were 134 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.480 little chips of Cereal line. It's a beautiful thing. Some of the most 135 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.639 expensive collectibles now, the ones where, for example, he had to buy 136 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.159 like five boxes of the Cereal cut the coupon out sends away for it because 137 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.279 he can't get those things anymore, of course, because he can't send away 138 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.519 from now. But if you have some of these collector was where you just 139 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.159 had to send away for them, they're worth a mint now. Oh, 140 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.440 I know, because I was talking to a Simpsons collector recently and he's got 141 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.919 like some Simpsons thing that you had to send away for, like the little 142 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.200 three eyed fish from the Simpsons, and you had to like buy all these 143 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.840 boxes of cereal whatever, cut out the coupon, send them away, and 144 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.720 now that it's worth like over a thousand dollars, just this little toy because 145 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.000 you just can't get them anymore. Dang. And that was actually funny on 146 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.759 the on the Deep Dive episode we were just watching, on the commentary episode 147 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:30.440 we were watching on Patreon, it was funny how PJ literally all the toys 148 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.679 in his room, you know, he wouldn't touch because his dad said, 149 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:39.600 you Jim, his dad said they were all collectibles and that they couldn't be 150 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.399 taken out of the packages. And that was thirty years ago. That was 151 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.039 thirty years ago. And I just find it funny how it just holds up 152 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.360 so well today, even better today, I'd say, yeah, one hundred 153 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.120 percent. Feel like people were talking to people, weren't talking about it as 154 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.120 much back then. Like when you had toys, you play with them, 155 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.080 you know, when we were going. Now it's like now you buy three, 156 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.480 you buy one to display, one to play with, one pulled away 157 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.320 in storage and catch it, guys up and you you know, I won't 158 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.360 be doing it to the camera now. But I've got my original Johnny Rebel 159 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.159 Canyon. That's something else you wouldn't be able to say, uh, cannon 160 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.840 sorry, uh. And it had shot real little balls. It was a 161 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.480 little you know, sort of like an old geral cartoon cannon from and it 162 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.679 but it was based on the Civil War cannons. Oh yeah, and uh 163 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:31.399 and it shoots balls. And I've got the ramrod and it works. So 164 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:37.360 it's fifty six years old. No, no, about sixty sixty years old 165 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.279 and it works. So there. They don't build them like they used to. 166 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.759 And wait, did they hold the Union Army Army Johnny ReBs. No, 167 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.559 that was the Southern. That was the Southern. Yeah, the Union 168 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:54.399 Jack. The Union guys were the Union Jacks. I think I have no 169 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.759 idea what these toys are. But what so what were they that was just 170 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:05.120 promoting just civil war? Yeah? Yeah, well you can't beat a good 171 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.759 go to Civil war kids. Yeah, they have Civil War re enactments, 172 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.799 and I've never understood that they're a lot of fun though, I'm sure it'd 173 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.919 be fun to watch. Yeah, have you ever been to one? Huh? 174 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.120 No, No, I've never been. I'm actually really surprised a by 175 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.480 that. Yeah, me too, you think I would have. I felt 176 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.840 like GYP just seems like the kind of guy that would be in there just 177 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:33.240 in and amongst it. Yeah, yeah, might like I'd be General Custer. 178 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.039 He did not. He did not farewell in his last battle. It's 179 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.360 funny because I do a South Park podcast and we just reviewed the episode where 180 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.240 they take the mickey out of Civil War reenactments. So it's just it's just 181 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.720 weird how just sort of just tied in. No, of course, but 182 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.120 we're here to talk about goove Troup. Now, as I say, one 183 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.519 of my favorite shows, Jim, when you think a good trip, I'll 184 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.960 have to sort of start this way. What are your first initial memories of 185 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.200 good troop? When someone says good trip to you, what are you think 186 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:05.519 of? Oh boy, a license to just go crazy and have a lot 187 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.240 of lot of great fun. You know, Genny McSwain was a director, 188 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:16.559 and Bob Taylor uh was one of the producers, and among others you know 189 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.960 at Wexler and different people, Mark Zaslov and we had so much fun because 190 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.039 you know, it was first of all, was putting Goofy, a character 191 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.279 everybody knew, into a completely different setting. I mean, when you thought 192 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.039 of Goofy, you did not think father figure. That's for sure, and 193 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.559 Pete you kind of did, you know, because he you know, he 194 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.240 had enough bluster to you know, to get throw his weight around and everything, 195 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.879 and it was, you know, it was just a great little blend 196 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.879 because you put the two together. And no, I don't know what happened 197 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:50.919 to missus Goofy or if there was one, but but you know, Pete 198 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.440 was there and he had his family next door, and it was a lot 199 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.159 of fun, you know, because there was always friction between them, no 200 00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.799 matter what, and so whenever, you know, we needed something to happen, 201 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.960 just put the two of them together. And I just realized we're counting 202 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.919 and I was in. Pete was in every single show, so that was 203 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.440 kind of cool, and me Stadd one apparently you're saying someone at convention pointed 204 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.240 out to you that you're and all of them, and Stadd in one episode 205 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.039 of his own show. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It's probably 206 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.720 his evil twin was in it, I think. But I think like Goofy 207 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.960 is like the face of the show, but I think the show kind of 208 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.399 revolves around Pete, though more like without Pete the show I think so too. 209 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.919 No, I don't, but I'll take it. Well, you know, 210 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.480 I don't know if that's it, but I mean, thank you. 211 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:43.000 But you know, Peter Pan doesn't get to be the hero without captain hook, 212 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.720 right, And they say, you know, like series or movies are 213 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.320 made off the villain, you know, the better of the villain. I 214 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.720 mean, how many that was Darth Vader costumes? Do you see? You 215 00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:01.000 don't see? You know that many Luke Skywalkers? Yeah, I mean just 216 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.720 the villains that are cooler in general, aren't they? Absolutely? Oh yeah, 217 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.519 and you've played quite a bit, Jim, I've played many a villain. 218 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.519 Well, Pete's the original Disney villain he is. Yeah, and we're 219 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.679 just talking. We're talking on the might have been off the air, maybe 220 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.440 on the commentary, not too sure. But Pete, I believe, if 221 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:22.320 you read any of the reports online, is actually the longest recurring Disney character 222 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.039 of all time, which is a pretty remarkable thing. So when you first 223 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.639 got the role of obviously this was the first time you voiced Pete was for 224 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.159 this show? Right, Yeah? Voice Pete before this? That's right? 225 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.960 Did that sort of sink in that how big of a deal Pete was? 226 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.840 Or not really mean much to you? In like the late eighties also the 227 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.120 early nineties. Do you think the longer you've been the character, the more 228 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.960 you sort of dawned on you, Wow, this this is a monumental character. 229 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.879 Well, yes, it definitely percolated over the years. I you know, 230 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.759 the thing is it was kind of similar with what happened with Poo. 231 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.919 Pete hadn't been around in a good long while. And when he was around, 232 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.919 he was kind of doing on one offs and he was you know, 233 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:07.480 like the cartoon before the movie or you know, the occasional I think they 234 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.799 did one or two shorts, you know, prior to and then we came 235 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:18.039 back in with the Three musket Mouseketeers Musketeers, and Pete played the villain in 236 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:24.759 that. And you know that that natural synergy or whatever you want to call 237 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.240 it, the chemistry between Pete and the gang, and be it Donald Duck 238 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.039 or Mickey Mouse or Goofy, you know, he was always there to provide 239 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:39.720 the friction and uh and it was just a natural, natural thing. And 240 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.039 I don't know that he had been around a lot, maybe one or two 241 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:52.519 uh maybe a Halloween special perhaps prior to goof trip and then boom, goof 242 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.000 he was the same. He hadn't been really you know that much for a 243 00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:00.000 while, that's right. Yeah, well he just did the shorts. Yeah, 244 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.639 a couple of like specials or Christmas special or something like that, but 245 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.519 nothing on that goof Troop. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. In fact, 246 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:11.120 the one Christmas special we did do with Pete, and this is when 247 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:17.080 Pete was dark brown. He was like a dark chocolate brown. He wasn't 248 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.759 even black then, and he was a Christmas tree salesman and he was trying 249 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.279 to hose down Goofy to buy this terrible tree. Oh, you'll just have 250 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.039 to rent it and buy it. But it's a it's a pretty good actually, 251 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.720 yeah, and it's coming up on Christmas. Yeah, so watch that 252 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.919 show and let us know what you think. Surely you couldn't have had any 253 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.759 idea just how much work you were going to get out of this role of 254 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.120 Pete, right, because Pete hadn't really been in all that much for a 255 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.799 while. But he's just he's become like the most recurring villain in Disney now 256 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:51.120 really over the last thirty years. Well, yeah, there's a fairly popular 257 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:57.039 video game or computer game series, Kingdom partamts yep, and he's he's featured 258 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:03.080 rather prominently in that he's like his second I don't know, second in command 259 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.480 villain if you will. You know, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty is the evil 260 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:15.359 queen and he is her fierce minion. So Pete's been around, yeah, 261 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.400 and I don't know the year. I would think it would have to be 262 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.839 the twenties, right when he first premiered, when he first debuted. Yeah, 263 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.319 yeah, had to be. Yeah, he's coming. I think he's 264 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.480 like three years off of being what's it called when you're what thee hundred years? 265 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:36.720 When you're public domain? Would he become public domain? Now? Is 266 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.799 that how it works? Even if Disney know, because Disney didn't have to 267 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.039 buy him, he was Disney's Yeah, you know, it's like Mickey Mouse, 268 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.920 like Pooh and Tigger. They they were acquired, you know, nobody 269 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:56.279 from Disney from a Miln. Yeah, so how was the So how's Winny 270 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.440 of the Pooh public domain and Pete won't be? Then? Well, they 271 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.759 bought it for X amount of like one hundred years I think, wasn't it 272 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.200 maybe, But Winnie the po the original series is now public domain. Yeah, 273 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.480 it's because it wasn't created by Disney. Okay, So with the character, 274 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.200 because he's not just a villain in like Kingdom Hearts. He's a villain 275 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.319 in like The Mickey and the Roads to Races, like the Kids shows, 276 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.039 and oh yeah it was. It was the villain in the Chippendale film. 277 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.680 So there's all these different versions of Pete as a villain. Oh yeah, 278 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.640 it's a pretty diverse character, really, isn't he Absolutely? Well, you 279 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.480 know in the Mickey the Roads to Racers, when they would go racing all 280 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:40.400 around the world, you know, there would be a Natalian the Pete, 281 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.920 Mick the mouse, how are you doing? You know? And then and 282 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.799 it was and then they'd go to France and there'd be a Frenchman, Well, 283 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:55.319 mickuer I cansider that to your error trying to win this rash, you 284 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:59.359 know, and it was still just Pete being in Pete and uh and I'm 285 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.640 gonna run out of accents here. Wait. That's fascinating to me. So 286 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.880 what's the what's the what's the approach that you take when you have to do 287 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:11.759 a character voice in accent? Well, I don't know. Now I'll never 288 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.440 be able to do it again, thanks Chris. He has to do the 289 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:21.599 hand, he's doing the hand. Well, the first thing you do should 290 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.559 start talking like Pete. And the next thing you know, you're over there 291 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:30.839 in Ireland and you're in Dublin and you're walking down the street. And I 292 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.559 think that's how you do it. That's incredible to me, that's incredible. 293 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.240 Well I need to hear I need to hear an Australian pate. Can you 294 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:42.240 do an Australian pate? Well, now hold on their pal all just half 295 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.960 to sigh, give me a strike, give you It kind of comes out 296 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:53.480 he turns into Monterey Jack. I think Gidget, you know, Pizza a 297 00:19:53.519 --> 00:20:00.079 little more gott incredible watching just Jim sort of doing the voice and you just 298 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.400 see just completely just transform into a different accents. It's amazing to watch. 299 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:11.519 It's not a pretty sight. So let's go back. So you'd already done 300 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.359 several shows already for Disney Afternoons. I mean, you don't need to poo 301 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.319 as well. And you've done Tailspin Duck Wing Duck, had already been at 302 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.319 this point Chippendale. So when did your first year of goof Troop Boy? 303 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.680 When when somebody wrote it? I think Bob Taylor, I think we should 304 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.000 blame him. The show promily had ninety two. How long before it was 305 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:33.480 on TV? Do you think was it like an eighteen month to be a 306 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.079 year? Oh? Yeah, always at least a year from yeah, if 307 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.400 not more, you know, I would say fifteen months would be a better 308 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:48.480 bet, like recording first day to sitting on the couch. Yeah, it's 309 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:53.119 got to be over a year, like fifteen months safe, bet. I'm 310 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.160 always intrigued. So basically, you're working on all these Disney afternoon shows and 311 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.480 do they just sort of come up to you and go, We've got another 312 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:00.640 idea or is it a case of if you just have to waite to your 313 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.920 agent pitch or something to you. Well, they send out the sides, 314 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:11.039 they send out the plots, the character breakdowns to every agency you know, 315 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.039 and then that agent goes all right, oh, you might be good at 316 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.480 this, you might be good at that, you might get that, and 317 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:22.359 they just pass it around and then they cast the show. They writers that 318 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.519 start writing, and they all get to know each other. It's like we 319 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:33.599 were saying earlier, the pilot episode quote unquote is probably the tenth or twelfth 320 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.960 one that we recorded, because they had to kind of get to know the 321 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.359 writers, got to know the characters, as the actors as their characters, 322 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.359 and they can kind of weave it in together and make it a little more 323 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.440 cohesive. Well, I have a question for you. I mean, we've 324 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.519 kind of been doing these episodes, you know, of the Deep Dives, 325 00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:55.319 kind of in chronological order, you know, with the Disney Afternoon getting more 326 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.559 and more recent by this point. This is one of the newer episodes, 327 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.880 I mean, newer series excuse me, that you were involved in by this 328 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.720 time. You know, we talked about this on the Rescue Rangers episode. 329 00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:12.799 They're kind of reusing the same voice actors over and over when a new series 330 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:17.079 comes out. Did you have a good idea that like, Okay, I'm 331 00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.960 gonna be in this one, or I'm gonna have a big shot to get 332 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:26.599 this one. Well, you know, I don't think that they It didn't 333 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.359 quite work like that. I mean I had to do the same auditions as 334 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:36.160 everybody else did, of course, you know, but everybody they already knew 335 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.839 how should I put it? I know that I was cast for this role 336 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.720 or that role, or this role or that role because on this show there 337 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.559 are gonna be two male men and a race car driver, and so we're 338 00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.559 gonna we got Cummings to take at least half of that out of our you 339 00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:59.319 know, and so you're hired for this character. But since these this character 340 00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.880 floats in floats out there, there were characters that would do that in like 341 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.200 even in Bonkers, Frank Welker was fall Apart Rabbit, Well he was in 342 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.279 every third episode, but it was in every episode anyway, because it was 343 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:17.160 playing another character. And it's like with me and Chimpindale's Rescue Rangers and fat 344 00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:22.880 Cat and Professor Nimno so and you know obviously Monterey Jack with me and Peter 345 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:30.000 Cullen and so I think they I mean, it wasn't. Although Jim Megon, 346 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.559 my buddy, he made a joke one time when I was visiting Disney 347 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.480 TV Animation and we're walking down and we're like halfway through how many how many 348 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.720 were shows on Disney Animated ten eight or all together like Dark, Wing, 349 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:51.680 Tailspin individual titles. Anyway, we're like halfway through, and he jokingly said, 350 00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:53.680 oh, by the way, everybody, everybody look over here, this 351 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.599 is my friend, Jim Cummings. He's going to be in every show. 352 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:03.759 Did we ever do just every series, every every episode of every series? 353 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.079 Uh, Jimp Cummings, what else. I think that's it. Anyway, 354 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:12.759 get back to work and everybody's clapped and we all high fived and it was 355 00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:17.680 just silly and then we all they went back to work apparently, and so 356 00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.880 today because Chris is right, because you were saying you you all auditioned for 357 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.559 the same roles all the time. But yeah, they picked the same people 358 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.039 all the time. So surely, like Chris, you have to agree. 359 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.440 Surely they had the same people in mind when they were writing these characters. 360 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:32.839 Right. Well, I think it's like we talked about on the last the 361 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.920 last deep dive that we did on the Rescue Rangers deep dive. From an 362 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:42.720 investment standpoint from Disney, you know, like they're investing what did we say, 363 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:47.599 there was like twenty three million dollars invested in Rescue Rangers or something like 364 00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:51.400 that. And from an investment standpoint, and if you know, show business 365 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.880 is just as much as much business as it is show oh yeah, So 366 00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.400 from an investor's side, I mean, you know, why not go with 367 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.920 the with the talent that we know that can deliver. Yeah, And I 368 00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:07.200 think that's one of the reasons why they keep recycling the same voices over and 369 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.000 over because it's a safe bet. Yeah, you want to head your bet, 370 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.720 that's for sure, because you know the money you're wasting or not wasting 371 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.240 is the same. If it's a sure thing or if it's a flop, 372 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.160 still cost They still cost the same. Yeah, you're right, though, 373 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.319 Chris, this was one of the last ones, and Bunkers was the one 374 00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:29.359 after this. I'm pretty sure there went many after Bunkers? Was Jim? 375 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:32.920 Was there a reason that they just sort of just ended the Disney Afternoons sort 376 00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:34.960 of concept because they seem to be going so well. It was all Disney 377 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.960 was backing, They're putting so much money behind it, and then there was 378 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.279 just sort of like none for a while. Yeah. Well, I know 379 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:48.799 that the fact that they bought ABC figured into it, because here in Los 380 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:55.279 Angeles it was on an independent station. It's a Channel KT. I forget 381 00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:57.200 what it is, but it's a Channel nine. You know, it's not 382 00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:02.000 ABC or HBO, It's not you know, one of the big networks. 383 00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:06.240 So I think that might have had something to do with it. You know, 384 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.640 they bought ABC and they can't even and they have to feed some other 385 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:15.240 network. You know that they don't yeah, the grillions from I mean, 386 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.200 you know, there's only two reasons things happen, love and money, and 387 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:23.079 it wasn't love. This might have been money. I think it's interesting too 388 00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.559 that just that we're on the subject of, like business talks is you know, 389 00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:32.119 we're talking about, you know, cinematic universes these days, and how 390 00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:37.279 Disney has acquired you know, Marvel and the Star Wars franchise and everything like 391 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.440 that, and in a way, you know, Pete the character was kind 392 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:47.759 of in his own cinematic universe, crossing over between all these different cartoon shows 393 00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.240 even to this day, you know, and not just tave A Shaw's movies, 394 00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:55.119 video games, everything, absolutely, absolutely, And you just got to 395 00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.880 imagine if if the cinematic universe was a thing back in nearly nineties, all 396 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.240 these shows would have been crossing over all the time. Feels like a waste 397 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:06.400 of opportunity when you look back now thirty years later, but it would have 398 00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:08.079 been nice and cool to have seen all these characters sort of living in the 399 00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.160 same universe. Yeah. I got a kick out of that big, long 400 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.400 one hundred year celebration show. Yeah, it was hard to Actually, that 401 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:19.319 makes me think of another question for you, Jim is when you voice the 402 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:23.880 same character for different series, do you have a different approach to it? 403 00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:30.240 Yes and no, because we did. You know, during during the goof 404 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:36.599 Troupe Times, Pete was the Wisenheimer, a bit of a bully, and 405 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.279 definitely he was in the shorts, you know, big Wisenheimer and definitely a 406 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:48.039 bully. And when we started in on Mickey Gosh, Mickey Mouse at Funhouse 407 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.799 Mickey and we did like four Mickey in the Roads to Racers, Mickey's Funhouse, 408 00:27:53.640 --> 00:28:00.480 Mickey's you know, popsicle stand, Yeah, kit shows and you had 409 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.680 to dial them back. In fact, I remember, I don't know if 410 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:06.880 I spoke on this before, but I just come out there not say what 411 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:10.599 are you doing during your crazy Mouse get over here? And they'd go, 412 00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.680 okay, this is for four year olds, say hey, what you're doing 413 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.200 over there? Mickey? You know, and and so calm him down. 414 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.519 You know, he's not he wasn't the bully. The guy that threw it, 415 00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.319 kicked it Mickey off of a speeding train. You know, we can't 416 00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:33.960 do that in this cartoon. So you know, all these different considerations and 417 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.359 you know, and they're tailing it to the audience which understandable. It's funny 418 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.119 how times change, though, because goof Trip was for the same audience, 419 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.000 but you didn't have the dollar back for that. Pete. Yeah, well 420 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.480 that was also thirty years ago. Kids get scared. Now he's yelling at 421 00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:56.279 me. He's yelling, he being so mean. But so you had so 422 00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.599 you land the role of Pate. Did you audition? Obviously Bill already had 423 00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.920 the role of Goofy that was already set in stone. Did you audition for 424 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.119 me? It wasn't really anyone to really audition four on this show, was 425 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.759 there when he comes to the mains the main cast? It was just Pete 426 00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:11.160 or nothing for you? Really? Yeah? Correct. I had my heart 427 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:17.680 set on being Peg but it didn't work. No, I mean I had 428 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:21.519 dabbled around with Pete and you know, he was kind of in my wheelhouse. 429 00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:23.640 And did you know much about it, Pete before auditioning for the role. 430 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.920 Oh yeah, yeah, I mean everybody did you know? I would 431 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:34.119 watch the not the Disney Afternoon but all the Disney Uh the world is aka 432 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:38.559 Roussel Love Color from when I was five, you know, and Davy Crockett 433 00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:42.119 was on and Johnny Tremaine and I never missed one of them, because then 434 00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:48.279 they'd always have a lot of times they would have they have a Mickey Mouse 435 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.559 short and Pete would come in there and be the guest goober or you know, 436 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.480 Pete and Goofy would be in something and and so I had a handle 437 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.559 on him. You know, I was aware of him. I knew who 438 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.400 he was. But like I said, he was always a tough guy. 439 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.440 It was always mean. You know, I'm the kind of gentler Pete. 440 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.640 I'm solad I. You've said in the past that when you're doing a voice 441 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:17.039 like that that's already been voiced in the past, you try to not copy 442 00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.039 but be as close to the visional as possible. But with this Pete though, 443 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.039 this was a different version of Pete that we hadn't seen before. So 444 00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.240 did you feel like there was more freedom to sort of give it your own 445 00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:30.759 spin? Yeah, yeah, for sure, thank you, because at really 446 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:36.359 Pete was one trick pony prior to this, like in the forties, fifties, 447 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.279 name it, he was the guy, look you bell you, I'm 448 00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:47.200 gonna clubb or you see, and that's it. That's pretty much. Yet 449 00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:52.160 Pete was showing up. Mickey was either going to take a licking or you 450 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.200 know, stop him cold, or you know, Goofy was in trouble. 451 00:30:55.599 --> 00:31:00.400 You know, Donald forget about it, and so you knew that something was 452 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.839 up. But when when we moved it over to a series, he can't 453 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:08.279 walk around with a baseball bat trying to knock off Mickey's head or Goofy's head, 454 00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:12.799 you know, for twenty two minutes per show. So they had to 455 00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:18.119 turn him into a family man. And now he's a big giant cat with 456 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.880 a cute little dog and cat of his own, don't ask, uh and 457 00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:27.160 go figure, and he's a you know, he's got a cute little daughter 458 00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:36.200 and annoying little kid and a scalding hot wife talking about you. Well, 459 00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:41.160 Pete, Pete and me. Yes, the answer to that is yes. 460 00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.319 Wait, just to kind of go off the rails here. As a kid, 461 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:49.440 I was very attracted to Peg and I'm sure there was other kids out 462 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.960 there that had the same thing. It was kind of like a jeser k 463 00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.359 rabbit deal. Have you heard that in the in people coming up to you? 464 00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:04.400 No? But I well I could see it. Oh yeah, I 465 00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.200 can definitely see it. And uh, you know, for that matter, 466 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:14.559 he and Bonkers, they both had really cute girlfriends and uh and Nancy. 467 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:20.759 Wow. Nancy Cartwright was my daughter at with April Winchell and she was Fon 468 00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:25.400 Deer for Bunker's Deep Abcat and she played Fon Deer, the the cute little 469 00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:29.480 starlet, and she was It was as cute as can be. You were 470 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.440 somewhat of a ladies man when he came to the Disney afternoon shows, weren't 471 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:43.319 you? Apparently so? Yeah, dark Wing duc absolutely morgana Ma Coobber played 472 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:52.160 an animated show. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I know not 473 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.039 many. Was that was that unique? When it came to the chemistry with 474 00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.359 well, no, it was unique. We just well we had to because 475 00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:06.000 she was pregnant. We had to, you know. No, she was 476 00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:13.799 pregnant with Nancy kraut Raight. No, oh god, that's reminded me of 477 00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:17.039 a terrible dirty joke that I can't tell what it had to well, because 478 00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:22.240 it's it's a dirty joke. And then the psychiatrist said to Mickey, no, 479 00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:27.559 I didn't say that. I said she's goofy. Just my tyson voice 480 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:37.920 will be all fine, Yeah, never mind. No, Mike can get 481 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.640 away with a lot, but I'm not him that the joke might ruin a 482 00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:45.000 lot of childhood somebobe. We should leave it, Yes, yes, starting 483 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:49.880 on mine. How we get paid? She's hot, that's right, Yeah, 484 00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:53.160 there you go. But but but like with SO with April, So 485 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:57.200 you had a great chemistry there with April, with with pe here, do 486 00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.759 you think because of the chemistry here that just evolved and is the racing sort 487 00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:04.079 of ended up married again on Bunkers. I thought it was because we were 488 00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:09.480 both so irresistibly talented that we're the only people for the job. But but 489 00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:13.119 it could have been could have been the fact that it's like, well they 490 00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.000 already knew each other. Okay, you know that's fine with me either way. 491 00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:20.840 I'm fine, and you know, the checks have cleared at this point, 492 00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:25.599 so very happy. Just while we're on the topic of just marriage. 493 00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:31.800 And one thing that fascinates me about about goof Troop is the fact that it 494 00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:37.000 was pitched and end up became a becoming a show about a single father. 495 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:43.679 You know, that's not really a popular trope at the time in the early 496 00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:47.760 nineties for an animated or live action was Doc Wing? Dock he was he 497 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.679 was a single father? Was he not? Dock Wing? That's true? 498 00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:53.719 That's true. Yeah, oh that's true. I'm good at that. But 499 00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:59.280 he was a duck. As I was saying in the commentary, because of 500 00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.440 the setting, felt more realistic, didn't it, even though there was still 501 00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:05.079 these you know, dogs and cats and whatnot, and there's all these crazies 502 00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:08.199 happening in suburbia. Well yeah, I was a suburban right, Yeah, 503 00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:13.400 it felt more real what Chris was saying, Yeah, the single father set 504 00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:16.320 up. What was your reaction to that when you first read it? Who 505 00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.440 me? Heck, I thought it was I thought it was cool because I 506 00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:27.039 got to work with April, you know, she was great, And I 507 00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:34.920 thought it was an interesting take because it helped de purely villainize Pete. You 508 00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.320 know, if he's a family man and he's got this little four year old 509 00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:43.079 girl running around and his young ten year old son, and and you know, 510 00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:47.559 and his wife was a calming influence to the extent that when she wasn't 511 00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:52.480 yelling at him, and uh so I thought I thought it kind of softened 512 00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:55.599 him, made him a little more readily accessible to everybody, to Pete, 513 00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.519 because prior to that, he would just come in and knock over the coffee 514 00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:04.880 table, and you know, chase Mickey or Donald or a Goofy all around 515 00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:08.920 the room with the sword or a frying pan or do whatever try to throw 516 00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:13.440 him off the cliff. But this time he had to come up and show 517 00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:16.519 up and have some opinions, and he had to get up and go to 518 00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:22.039 work or something that people don't usually do in cartoons. That's true. Yeah, 519 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.199 So it was kind of cool. You're right though, because we just 520 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:29.960 watched that pilot and it's very wacky and cartoon you all the shenanigans that Pete's 521 00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:32.199 getting out to try and stop Goofy. If he was just this single gray 522 00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:37.400 living next door, just this grumpy old man, be very unlikable. But 523 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.320 having him married with a daughter, it just makes him far more grounded, 524 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:44.079 doesn't It makes it, yes, feel less super villainy and more just like 525 00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:47.719 a grumpy man. Yeah right, And I think that's what they needed from 526 00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.679 him in this show too. You know, they didn't need, you know, 527 00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:57.000 a guy coming in on a spaceship or a you know, a fighter 528 00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:01.519 pilot coming in to zap everybody. It just needed a sufficient thorn in the 529 00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:07.360 side. And you know, as we've seen, the funny part of it 530 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:14.000 is is he's there to give friction in a sense to Goofy, and he 531 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.440 kind of gets his butt kicked on a regular basis. He's not good at 532 00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:22.280 it. He's you know, Goofy kind of gets the edge on him. 533 00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.760 I think it's very important that Peg wears the pants in the relationship as well, 534 00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:29.840 because as grumpy and as loud as he is and as angry as he 535 00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:31.079 is, at the end of the day, Peg still runs the house and 536 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:35.440 she's not intimidated by him. She just tells him what's what and he goes, 537 00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:37.559 yes, ma'am, yeah, yeah, Well she's smarter than him and 538 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.239 he knows it, and he's smart enough to know it. Yes, So 539 00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:45.280 I can relate. When I was watching goof Troop, I was getting similar 540 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:47.800 vibes to did you guys like Chris, did you ever watch the show Dinosaurs 541 00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:53.599 Jim Henson Dinosaurs of Elsinclair? I I was getting Elsinclair vibes with Pete and 542 00:37:53.639 --> 00:38:00.800 Fran his wife just the just the grumpy buffoon of a husban who whose wife 543 00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:04.639 is smart, intelligent and clearly wets the pants and the ship that the ship 544 00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.199 would not work. We would not sail without the wife there. But he 545 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:09.360 likes to think that he runs a show when really it's peg here. Same 546 00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:15.119 with Pete. Yeah, I agree, but we're touching on earlier with Goofy 547 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:19.079 though we don't know whether if it was a missus Goofy? Was that ever? 548 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:21.880 Did you ever ask that question when they were pitching the show, like, 549 00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:23.480 how does Goofy have a son? Look when they said Goofy's got a 550 00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:25.920 son, Max? Did you ever go how wide? Was there ever a 551 00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:30.159 backstory that they were considering implementing to the show about an ex wife or whatever, 552 00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:32.760 but they decided not to? What was the idea there? You know, 553 00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.920 I remember bringing it up, bringing it up once. I said, 554 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.719 yeah, is his ex wife ever? Is she with us anymore? Is 555 00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:43.079 she going to be here? She goes, Nope, nope, she is 556 00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.880 not going to be in the show. Oh okay, but what if he 557 00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:50.440 Nope, nope? Too much explain? You know, we have to explain 558 00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:54.719 two darn much when I think the raid. You know, first of all, 559 00:38:54.760 --> 00:39:00.400 who the hell would marry Goofy? So you know, yeah, there's 560 00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:04.840 there's an insurmountable problem. It's a question to bring up because we posted on 561 00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.880 this on social media this morning asked for some questions for goof Troop and man 562 00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:10.920 oh man, it seems that every like three out of five people want to 563 00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:15.760 know, why wasn't Peg and Pistol? Why were they not in a Goofy 564 00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:21.320 movie? Now? Do you know why that was? I'd be curious about 565 00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:23.280 that myself. Yeah, what was the reason? Was it just a scheduled 566 00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:27.360 conflict? Was that they didn't want to gain? No? No, there's 567 00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:31.239 no such thing as a schedule. You just record it next week. Yeah, 568 00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:37.480 you know, unless you're you know, Mel Gibson and you're in Canada 569 00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.960 or Switzerland for six months or you know what I mean. Yeah, No, 570 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:47.320 I I don't know. I don't know. And I think it was 571 00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:54.800 because, you know, usually it's just the story dictates and they trim it 572 00:39:54.840 --> 00:40:00.440 down to the conflict's going to be here with this person against that person, 573 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.239 and these two guys are going to be the good guys, these three or 574 00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.320 four guys are going to be the bad guys, and then everybody around is 575 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:14.000 the periphery. And next thing you know, there was no room to sit 576 00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:19.039 around the campfire or go out and grill hot dogs in the backyard with the 577 00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:22.599 gang, with the family, you know, with with with April and and 578 00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:29.280 the rest of them, it's just just ended up not being necessary to tell 579 00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:32.599 that story of that moviem Okay, So, I mean I love the movie, 580 00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:35.920 but it's always just felt like that's the one thing that's held back from 581 00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:39.000 truly feeling like a goof Troop movie was the fact that Pagan Pistol went in 582 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:43.239 the ship in the film. Are I agree? I just want to speak 583 00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:46.400 briefly looping back to the popularity. Obviously, me and Brendan were huge fans 584 00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:52.199 of the show growing up, and just doing my research, it was kind 585 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:57.360 of in the the beginning era of releasing VHS tapes, and I think that 586 00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:02.239 might have something to do with it. Do you remember the releases on video 587 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:08.079 and how that impacted this show? Yeah? I do, And to this 588 00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:16.079 day I'll sign two or three VHS covers of the of those old of the 589 00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:23.360 the movies themselves and and the shows. And I don't know, I because 590 00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:28.440 it was so this was right around then. Well, I think video was 591 00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:30.719 out a little prior to though it was, but I feel like it was 592 00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:37.000 becoming popular in the early nineties, early to mid nineties, espe directive video 593 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.760 sequels and things like that. Yeah, Yeah, that's true. Yeah, 594 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:45.599 In fact, I think that that has a probably a stronger footprint, you 595 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:52.079 know, those directive videos because they were Disney almost I think they invented them. 596 00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.280 Yeah, I think it was the Latin sequel was the was the favorite 597 00:41:54.440 --> 00:42:00.880 Latin. Yeah, I was gonna say we we did the Whenever they would 598 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:02.440 take a movie and put it to Cereal, you know, like a on 599 00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:07.119 a put it to strip like they did with The Laddin and lots of other 600 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:15.360 movies, they would always do like a three or four part intro, like 601 00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:19.239 it'd be like the premiere and it would be I don't know, an hour 602 00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:22.960 and a hour and fifteen minutes long, and it was just three episodes cut 603 00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:28.079 up that they were going to introduce the series with anyway, and they spliced 604 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:31.679 it together and said, no, this is a directed TV movie, wink 605 00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:36.239 wink, And then they'd play that and then two weeks later they'd cut it 606 00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.960 back up again and start up the series, and then it was on Cereal 607 00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:44.800 five days a week. So I think they kind of invented that little genre 608 00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:47.480 there. Yeah. And just while we're on the subject of VHS, it 609 00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:52.199 is just a little factoid for the viewers out there. One of the reasons 610 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:57.800 that Blockbuster and movie rental companies were so popular back then is because the VHS 611 00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:01.840 to buy what would cost in the eighties to early nineties one hundred dollars, 612 00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:08.000 which was I remember the ninety bucks, yes, which was a lot of 613 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:13.480 money. Yes, And that's why rental industries were so popular back then, 614 00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:16.440 is because people didn't have the money to spend one hundred dollars on a single 615 00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:22.199 movie. And so that's why that business model kind of took off, was 616 00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:25.480 you had to rent because you couldn't afford to buy. You know, five 617 00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:30.880 of your favorite movies is five hundred dollars. Oh yeah, that's the same 618 00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:34.480 with much as movies though, sorry Jim. Not just movies though, but 619 00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:38.320 just even TV shows that'd go Here's a Christmas themed VHS of four Christmas themed 620 00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:42.400 cartoon episodes of Winnie the Poon. They put it on a VHS and charge 621 00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:45.000 you fifty bucks for it. You think we used to pay that much money 622 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:49.000 for four single episodes of a TV show. It's amazing how the world changed. 623 00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:52.320 Oh yeah, and people complain about seven ninety nine a month for streaming 624 00:43:52.360 --> 00:44:00.239 service. Well, nothing comes out and gets more expensive, that's for sure, 625 00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:05.559 except for cars. So when you so you you audition for Peate. 626 00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:07.320 Was it a similar deal to like, did you get it pretty quickly? 627 00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:09.000 Or was it yet to come back? Yet to come back? Do you 628 00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:12.920 know anyone else who went for the role of pet any notable names? Well, 629 00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:16.960 one fella who it probably wouldn't be wise to say his name, he 630 00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:22.599 had done him once or twice, and thought that that he was in. 631 00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:27.679 He was in, he was in, he was in. And and uh 632 00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:30.519 so, of course, you know, everybody, the usual suspects. We 633 00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:32.599 all go out and we auditioned for this, that and the other thing. 634 00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:37.599 I think the only thing they had nailed down was Bill for Goofy, so 635 00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:42.159 everything else was up up for grabs. And and I went and auditioned, 636 00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:47.239 and I listened to some of the old old uh vhs or whatever it was, 637 00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:52.719 uh it's a Pete. And just went in and auditioned, just like 638 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:57.840 I do for any other given anything. And they called me up and told 639 00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:02.159 me, well, you got the role of of Pete. And so I 640 00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:07.800 said, okay, you know, tied for first place is the oldest Disney 641 00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:13.039 character or whatever it may be. You just corrected me. But that's cool, 642 00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:15.480 you know, I'll take it. You know, just for our viewers, 643 00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:20.159 who is he tied with for the oldest Disney character. Well, I 644 00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:27.079 guess Oswald rabbit before Mickey was a mouse, was contemporary with him. I'd 645 00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:29.719 have to really look that up, you know what, you guys can look 646 00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:34.920 at um rabbit. Okay, So I don't know if he was Lucky, 647 00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:38.840 but he was Oswald. But he was definitely Oswald, and he wasn't a 648 00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:44.360 mouse, and he had long ears. And when you go to Disneyland, 649 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:49.639 you'll see in the archives section of you know, whatever the heck that thing 650 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:54.440 is over there, really articulate, you'll see pictures of him. And if 651 00:45:54.480 --> 00:46:00.559 you google him or just ask your phone or your neighbor, and you're right, 652 00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:05.159 Jim Oswald, the Lucky you'rabbit was the first character created by Disney. 653 00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:09.960 Yeah. Yeah, so see. But I think what they say with Pete 654 00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:15.039 is Pete is the oldest recurring character because Oswad doesn't exist anymore where Pete still 655 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:17.920 to this day. So when you when you think of characters who still exist 656 00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:23.599 and have been recurring over generations, Pete is the honest and greatly so. 657 00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:30.519 And right, well, that's cool, that's good to know. As we're 658 00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:32.440 touching earlier though, So this is a different version of Pete that we'd never 659 00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:36.519 seen before. Suburban Pete with a wife and a child and you know, 660 00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:38.960 give hiss come back to his life to get a son. So what elements 661 00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:43.519 did you take from previous people and what did you bring it to the character? 662 00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:46.519 You just wondered. You just wanted to just make make sure he sounded 663 00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:52.360 alike, sounded great, you know, like the original, But you had 664 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:54.119 to defang him. Like I said, it was just you know, I 665 00:46:54.159 --> 00:47:00.360 couldn't keep him angry at the top of his lungs, you know, with 666 00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:02.360 when he's talking to his four year old or whatever. So do you think 667 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.920 it was more of the luck? So how do you define the Jim Cummings 668 00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:08.840 Pete compared to the Pete they can before? Just you're not as angry. 669 00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:19.559 No, mine's much much better, just better now, Well, it's just 670 00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:25.239 those same differences. That's it's kind of like the same aspect. It's you 671 00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:30.760 know, he just can't walk walk around mad. That that would be the 672 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:38.119 Jim Cummings speed. You know, I think mine would be more curmudgeon or 673 00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:44.679 or you know, crumby old man lives at the end of the Street as 674 00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:47.840 opposed to villain. You know, there's a big difference. So that's that's 675 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:51.599 the way I see it. Something you just said just made me think of 676 00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:55.079 a question. How how long do you have to listen to a previous character 677 00:47:55.360 --> 00:48:00.320 for when you need to mash their voice? Gosh, I think it varies. 678 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:07.639 It varies, I am, but not long because I'll know, you 679 00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:12.920 know, in three minutes if if I'm gonna come, if I'll end up 680 00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:15.480 being viable, or if it's like no, you know, no, no, 681 00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:21.159 never mind that one, I'll pass. It's just you know, it's 682 00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:25.239 too high, it's too low or whatever or something. But if it's kind 683 00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:30.559 of in my wheelhouse, I'll know it almost right away, you know. 684 00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:34.639 And then if I if I give it a shot. I think I told 685 00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:38.360 you before I thought I was I nailed E or I was so sure I 686 00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:40.679 was a here, but I ended up with pooing tinger, So it was 687 00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:47.039 okay. You know, some would say better, Yeah, I'm one of 688 00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:53.519 them. Yeah, So I don't know. We touched on the commentary. 689 00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:58.880 So this cast, all star cast, this show again without So what was 690 00:48:58.880 --> 00:49:01.800 it like working with Bill for the first time as like as a buddy in 691 00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:05.920 a show. You never really worked with him to this extent. I've never 692 00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:14.440 liked him very He's a great guy. He's a great guy, and his 693 00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:19.159 son's a really good drummer. So see got that going for you. But 694 00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:23.280 no, we've I think we kind of worked together on and off on different 695 00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:30.440 things over the years, but certainly since then. But back then, we 696 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:32.920 had both just shown up a couple of years before, so there wasn't a 697 00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:37.440 big history to have. You know, he wasn't in the business. And 698 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:45.079 in fact, I'll tell you where we met. It was at the Roger 699 00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:51.639 Rabbit premiere. And you're both in it, weren't you. Yeah. I 700 00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:57.280 was a bullet number two and I was a I was a pretty good weasel, 701 00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:01.440 pretty prominent weasel. And I wish I had these pictures because there were 702 00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:07.400 pictures of this one big plastic weasel standing in front of Bob Hoskins and he's 703 00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:15.320 covered in gigantic uh gaffer's tape or masking tape or electrical tape. But they 704 00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:20.239 were great, great tape, And and we spent the entire frigging night in 705 00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:23.840 Griffith Park and I'm doing weasel voices. What are you doing there? Anything? 706 00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:28.480 Come on? Over here, you know, and all this stuff, 707 00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:30.880 and there's Bob's and mechas and I'm going, this is my first job. 708 00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:36.599 That's a big, major, most magnet, you know, and so and 709 00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:39.679 of course they threw it all out, so that whole scene. Yeah, 710 00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:44.440 and I all of a sudden I had no weasel lines. But thank god 711 00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:47.440 for bullet number two and that the ways of line. Does it still exist 712 00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:52.199 somewhere that scene? Oh no, yeah, I doubt it. I don't 713 00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.239 know why, but if if, if it does, I'll give you ten 714 00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:00.000 bucks for it. But no, that but that's where Bill and I met, 715 00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:07.119 right right there at the premiere yep. And uh and then the rest 716 00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:13.480 is mystery, I guess. Was this film to a recorded similar to like 717 00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:15.800 Doctoring Duck and all the other shows? Were you all in the room together 718 00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:20.239 at the same time? Which one goof troop? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 719 00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:22.039 yeah it was. That was one of my favorite things about it, 720 00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.719 you know, having everybody there for the most part, we did, including 721 00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:30.519 Nancy because Nancy would have been very busy with the Simpsons, right, so 722 00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:35.800 did she? Was she always there? Yeah? I mean it's only she's 723 00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:37.599 still doing one show a week there and one show a week here, So 724 00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:43.480 it's not Simpsons. They take a lot longer. Yeah, because they're a 725 00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:46.159 little more you know, have a better budget. Huh yeah exactly. But 726 00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:52.360 I mean even then, No, she was there, she was there. 727 00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:53.719 We're all there. I I kind of like that. I mean I like 728 00:51:53.800 --> 00:52:00.199 that so much more because if you have an organic response and you know that 729 00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:06.960 the person that's responding to is there and has the ability to so it's much 730 00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:12.360 better. Because Goofy was such an established character, like and Bill had him, 731 00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:15.280 like did you was there? Ays like nervousness with like just like having 732 00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:17.199 to live up to you know, Bill his Goofy and Peter's such an iconic 733 00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:20.360 character kind of like we need the Pooh. You said you weren't nervous if 734 00:52:20.360 --> 00:52:22.719 we need the Pooh? But is there a slight I'll know or you just 735 00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:23.920 got to go in to go note this is mine now, like us going 736 00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:28.039 to own this. I They've picked me for a reason, let's do it. 737 00:52:29.079 --> 00:52:31.039 Yeah. I never have that worry. No, I mean I never 738 00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:37.039 have. It's not arrogance assisted but you can't I guess, well, there 739 00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:43.519 you go, Bell, I mean you're not there because they're being charitable exactly, 740 00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:49.280 you know, They've read plenty of people for these roles, plenty. 741 00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:54.159 Yes, you know, you're not denying them anything by giving them you It's 742 00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:57.280 just amazing to think though that, you know, like you're saying, they 743 00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:00.840 so many people auditioned, but they always go back to that core cast. 744 00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:05.039 Just goes to show how much faith Disney had in you guys. I guess 745 00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:07.599 so I'll take it. I'm glad. Yeah, all right, Chris, 746 00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:10.280 should we get into some should we get into some mailbag questions? Do you 747 00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:14.760 think let's do it? All right? Yeah? So we asked lovely people 748 00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:17.440 on Facebook and on Instagram for some questions. I'll start This. One's from 749 00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:22.440 Leo Prince. How is it like to play a more civilized version of Pete 750 00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:24.400 with him having a family and all? This is from lear lia I said 751 00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:30.079 he loved all your interactions with the family in particular. Oh good, well, 752 00:53:30.119 --> 00:53:32.119 thank you, Leo. And yeah, we were just talking about that. 753 00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:37.119 It's kind of nice because it took the onus of Pete, so he 754 00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:43.760 just doesn't have to work around, you know, on nine point nine, 755 00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:45.880 you know, out of ten all the time. He doesn't have to go 756 00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:52.920 apoplectic and just go, you know, have his head blown off with anchor 757 00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:57.280 and this and that, because it you know, it opened mouth to being 758 00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:01.400 a frustrated and I think it was funnier too to have a frustrated guy who's 759 00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:07.639 really not a villain per se in this show, but he's a foil and 760 00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:10.840 as we have just seen, he usually ends up taking more lumps than Goofy. 761 00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:15.639 So I mean, who's doing who? All right, Chris? Your 762 00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:21.960 first question? All right, this is from Chaos Devin on Instagram. On 763 00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:29.400 a scale on once a ten, how are Pete's parenting skills? Oh, 764 00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:34.519 I'd say eight point one? Yeah, right, pretty good dad. What 765 00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:37.920 do you think makes him a good father? Well, you know, he's 766 00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:44.639 certainly a good provider and he almost listens to his kids occasionally. He's a 767 00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:51.480 pretty good husband, you know. He he's very gentle, and he does 768 00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:55.400 all the heavy lifting or he'll hire someone that does. And he's kind of 769 00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:59.400 covering all the bases. I mean, he's not going to get further of 770 00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:04.559 the year, and he may not be running down to be the scout master, 771 00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:09.280 but he'll hire someone to do it, so that's not bad. And 772 00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:15.960 he shows the family some pretty good vacations. I think we've seen that one 773 00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:19.719 little RV that he had that with the upper deck pool. You can't beat 774 00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:23.880 that, And so he's a case. He's he's kind of a Santa Dad 775 00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:31.159 and a good provider and an upstanding citizen and businessman. Want some at saor 776 00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:35.360 T forty? He says, Pete went from a villain to a grouchy neighbor 777 00:55:35.400 --> 00:55:37.559 on this show. His question is do you enjoy voicing him more as a 778 00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:42.000 villainous character like what you get in the Chippendale films, or do you think 779 00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:45.760 a comic relief focused character is more what you prefer. Oh, the comic 780 00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:49.960 belief Yeah, I mean the others are fine in their place, but you 781 00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.519 know, you can't, you know, you can't keep that up. That's 782 00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:59.000 not a that's like a one off. That's like the cartoon before the movie, 783 00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:04.519 which is where most of the Pete cartoons lived. But uh, yeah, 784 00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.159 I definitely like that, like him in the in the sitcom. That's 785 00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:12.760 basically what it is. It's a sitcom sitting Yeah, yeah, married with 786 00:56:12.840 --> 00:56:15.559 children? All right. Here's another one from Instagram. How many outtakes did 787 00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:22.079 you record for when Pete had his hysterical breakdowns? Oh? Boy, no, 788 00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:27.039 I don't know outtakes. They used every darned syllable. No, I 789 00:56:27.320 --> 00:56:30.800 I don't know, you know, because sometimes you'll get all worked up and 790 00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:36.239 then you'll accidentally I think he cussed. No, I didn't cuss. That's 791 00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:39.960 bullshit, you know, And I'll say something like that and then they go, 792 00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:43.719 okay, we can't use that. We'll all I said, Oh, 793 00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:45.079 I see what you're saying. Sorry, I need to hear Pete saying bullshit 794 00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:52.119 though. Yeah, yeah, well subscribe to Patreon and oh, they're gonna 795 00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:57.559 we're gonna make him pay for that one. Brandon, don't you worry. 796 00:56:57.960 --> 00:57:05.960 You got shit covered to get a I called Cummings Cummings cusses. Oh my 797 00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:09.599 goodness. Just a side note, that's actually so funny since we've been doing 798 00:57:09.599 --> 00:57:13.599 this podcast, Like so many of the people that we've met, you know, 799 00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:19.760 their their character or the persona that they're known for is often you know, 800 00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:23.280 because we're all people, and so it's so funny to see people just 801 00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:28.400 reacting as their normal self. I mean even when we were at a we 802 00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:34.679 were at a convention last weekend and you were like something completely unrelated from the 803 00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:37.239 line at the convention, and you know, you were dealing with something and 804 00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:42.519 you were like, what the and then this girl starts laughing and then you're 805 00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:44.920 like, oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for you to hear 806 00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:46.880 that, and she's like, no, it's hilarious. It's just so funny 807 00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:52.360 to hear you say that word always taken off because Jim was sitting on the 808 00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:57.039 chair looking for these headphines forgetting the head fines were in the studio, and 809 00:57:57.159 --> 00:58:06.239 Jim's response was was fuck me, Like well, yeah, yeah, but 810 00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:10.559 I was talking to you, so maybe no, that's not right. Okay, 811 00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:15.559 Well, these guys are making this up in America. Never said a 812 00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:24.239 dirty word in his life, never, brother, that's more bullshit. Yeah 813 00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:28.360 for a question, I think it is right. It is, Yeah, 814 00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:31.599 alright. Kyl Cashion. Carson says, with the voice acting sessions on this 815 00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:36.480 show just as dysfunctional like the characters perceived on the show on the on the 816 00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:38.480 actual show. So with the voice acting sessions as wild as what they appeared 817 00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:45.960 on the actual show. It was controlled chaos, which is what the best 818 00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:51.400 sessions are. But I can tell you one of one of our favorite things. 819 00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:55.079 And if we'll get Bill Farmer on here one fine day and we'll have 820 00:58:55.199 --> 00:59:01.039 this verified and you know, we would sit and it was a Fidelity studios. 821 00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:05.559 It was in North Hollywood, and I don't know if it's still there, 822 00:59:05.559 --> 00:59:09.719 but it was a room that was kind of set up like a rectangle 823 00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:15.840 of microphones but missing the top, you know, because you know, there 824 00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:19.960 was a glass window there we're looking through there. There's a director, Jeny 825 00:59:20.079 --> 00:59:24.599 McSwain, the producers, you know, the writers and everybody, and so 826 00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:29.000 the actors are all inside and we're all there, and for one reason or 827 00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:34.280 another, Nancy was there, of course, Dana Hill, April Winchell, 828 00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:39.760 myself, and maybe Rob Paulson he may well have been there. But we're 829 00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:44.559 all waiting for Bill to come in. And something happened. He had a 830 00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:47.920 flat to I don't know and sorry, sorry, come in, excuse me, 831 00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:53.360 everyb and he came in and she said, all right, well we 832 00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:58.639 can all go in. And he knocked over his microphone stand, his boom 833 00:59:58.719 --> 01:00:01.199 stand. It fell into the one next to it, It fell into the 834 01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:06.119 one that he got. He took out all he took out four stands and 835 01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:13.079 two chairs and heat. All he did was walk in. That's it. 836 01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:17.440 So he's goofy and he's good. And if he was here, and we 837 01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:22.800 have talked about this, so I'm okay with sinking. The sweetest lady ever, 838 01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:27.920 Rucy Taylor. She and Wayne Lwine were marrying Mickey and Minnie Mouse for 839 01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:35.039 many moons and many moons ago, Uh Bill, Gosh, Mickey Minnie Me. 840 01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:40.320 Anyway, We're at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and it was a 841 01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:47.000 day for you know, special needs kids, and they had telephones set up 842 01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:52.079 with cartoon character pictures and the kids can go up and there were dozens of 843 01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:54.840 kids there. It was it was kind of like the Shriff Smile Club that 844 01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:59.639 I'd been to back in my hometown, and it's you know, kids with 845 01:00:59.679 --> 01:01:01.320 hattie caps or what have you. And they come and they could talk to 846 01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:06.079 their favorite cartoon character, pick up the phone and say hello, Hello, 847 01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:10.920 winned the Boo, Hello, Tigger Hello. And so we we we were 848 01:01:12.280 --> 01:01:16.519 stationed up above the courtyard and it was the darkened windows, so we could 849 01:01:16.559 --> 01:01:19.960 stand there and wave at them and they wouldn't have been able to see us. 850 01:01:20.400 --> 01:01:22.000 And they're certainly not going to be looking up there, and if they 851 01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:23.719 did, they're not going to see Winny of the Poo. They're going to 852 01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:28.639 see some guy in a T shirt standing up there, so we're pretty safe. 853 01:01:29.400 --> 01:01:32.800 And Bill comes up and he gets his and we're all sitting around. 854 01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:37.159 There's little cuffe tables with it. And Bill gets up and he grabs a 855 01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:44.039 phone, and bless his heart, he walks right in to a jet black 856 01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:50.719 screen. It's off stage, and it engulfs him, just like it would 857 01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:54.639 have if had Goofy walked into the room and and he and he spins around 858 01:01:55.159 --> 01:02:00.199 and he cocoons himself in there and goes oha. Then he falls over backwards, 859 01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:07.400 pulls the phone out of the wall, and Rusy Taylor God rest her 860 01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:13.360 so Mini mouse she almost peeded. I'm pretty sure she had to run through 861 01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:15.400 it. She says, Billy, you gotta stop it. You're gonna kill 862 01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:20.920 me one of these days. She goes, And he did that. He 863 01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:22.639 didn't do that on purpose. It looked like he did, but no, 864 01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:29.559 it looked like Goofy. It looked just like Goofy. And I was thinking, 865 01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:31.400 man, oh man, that this guy. He's a character actor. 866 01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:38.159 He's a method a method actor, a character method actor. And we've had 867 01:02:38.199 --> 01:02:42.239 some fun reminiscent with that over the years. I'll see if I can get 868 01:02:42.320 --> 01:02:45.239 him to replicate that on some future podcast. Maybe he did an audition for 869 01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:50.159 the voice. He just walked in and kno over. Yeah, oh there 870 01:02:50.199 --> 01:02:55.199 he goes. How bad can he be? It would definitely get Bill on 871 01:02:55.239 --> 01:03:00.239 the shot at some point. Oh yeah, we will, you know, 872 01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:06.079 fun times. This one's from Zan eight O seven eight nine. What is 873 01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:08.880 the funniest moment you had during your recording session with Rob Paulson. I kind 874 01:03:08.880 --> 01:03:15.039 of see a father son slip up with some good jokes occurring. Oh gosh, 875 01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:20.519 probably just Rob and I telling dirty jokes back and forth about you know, 876 01:03:20.800 --> 01:03:23.000 his little Susie cream Cheese next door. I don't know. I don't 877 01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:30.119 know, but I've worked with Rob so many times that you know, all 878 01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:35.440 of our sessions have you know, descended into chaos in one form or another. 879 01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:39.360 Yeah, so, but yeah, like father like, huh, I'm 880 01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:45.400 just by little Susie cream Chase next door. Yeah. Yeah, Well, 881 01:03:45.719 --> 01:03:49.679 I don't know. I don't know if it doesn't for anybody else. But 882 01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:54.679 his voice is PJ and he has a very similar voice as I Forget Carl 883 01:03:54.760 --> 01:04:00.280 and Jimmy Neutron Carl. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, and it makes 884 01:03:59.880 --> 01:04:03.480 me sad for some reason. It's such like a it's such a defeated voice. 885 01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:09.199 It kind of makes me sad girl weezer. Yeah, you're right. 886 01:04:09.719 --> 01:04:12.840 Well, you know, I've got my own little mini theory about that, 887 01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:17.199 and I've never spoken with it to Rob. But I you'll notice that that 888 01:04:17.320 --> 01:04:23.400 heroes have always got a certain tone in their voice, and if that was 889 01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:30.079 music, it would be better, bet But and it sounds like an announcement. 890 01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:36.800 It sounds like a prock bam, whereas the bad guys are kind of 891 01:04:36.880 --> 01:04:44.199 snaking around in there in a minor key. And that's why again, that's 892 01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:51.360 like but you and you know that that's not going to be There are no 893 01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:56.519 ballerinas in this scene, you know, you know it's a it's like whenever. 894 01:04:57.199 --> 01:04:59.760 The first time I noticed it was in a show called The Riflemen, 895 01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:03.719 and it was an old, old, old sixty show, and the theme 896 01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:10.039 song was Boomer Doom Doom boom, didn't doom day do doom doom doom doom. 897 01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:14.760 But whenever the rifleman was in trouble and the bad guys were sneaking around 898 01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:17.599 the barn to kidnap him and get the life, they would play the theme 899 01:05:17.639 --> 01:05:27.199 song. But it was in a minor key boo boo boo, you knew 900 01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:33.519 something was wrong, And the same goes in because I tend to think of 901 01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:41.239 it sing well, singing obviously, but dialogue and everything in a musical terms, 902 01:05:41.679 --> 01:05:45.960 in a rhythmic term. And uh, it's simple. You know, 903 01:05:46.719 --> 01:05:53.800 good news is in a major key. Uh, and and bad news is 904 01:05:54.480 --> 01:06:03.159 really no idea that good of a key. So then what yeah, yeah, 905 01:06:03.320 --> 01:06:06.119 yeah, that's right. Yeah. So where so where is he? 906 01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:12.920 What is that? Yeah? That's right, And he's he's kind of got 907 01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:16.239 that damsel in distress, doesn't he. I mean, I don't know why. 908 01:06:16.280 --> 01:06:18.800 It just makes me like sad, but I hear his voice even when 909 01:06:18.800 --> 01:06:24.320 he's doing twisted tunes in that voice. Yeah, that's like a defeating voice. 910 01:06:24.719 --> 01:06:28.119 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He has not won a lot of battles, 911 01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:31.880 battles well with dad, with his dad in one show and with Jimmy 912 01:06:31.920 --> 01:06:35.480 Neutron and the other. So yeah, I think how would you explain the 913 01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:46.480 dynamic between Pete and PJ Well bullying bullied? Yeah, domin He's constantly trying 914 01:06:46.480 --> 01:06:48.599 to sort of like impress his dad, isn't he And sort of by the 915 01:06:48.639 --> 01:06:53.079 side he thinks he's not wanting to be oh yeah, yeah, and then 916 01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:56.880 he then he just resigns himself to failure. Well that was when I was 917 01:06:56.920 --> 01:07:00.480 trying to surf. This is when I was trying to you know, blah 918 01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:04.000 blah blah. But he does have some success when it comes to skateboarding. 919 01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:09.519 So yes, he's not a complete mess. We hope. All right, 920 01:07:09.519 --> 01:07:12.880 we'll do a couple more. I've got a question here. This is from 921 01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:16.559 squill on Twitter. What would Goofy and Pete's favorite drink bee to order at 922 01:07:16.559 --> 01:07:20.079 a bar? Well, Pete probably just have a beer just to stand a 923 01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:23.639 beer. Yeah, what Brandon Bee? Are you a beer man, Jim? 924 01:07:23.719 --> 01:07:27.599 I can't see you being I suppose yeah. I like Mexican beers, 925 01:07:27.639 --> 01:07:30.679 not beat Okay, there's a few out there. Goofy's going some sort of 926 01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:36.239 like alcoholic free cocktail, right, Well, he doesn't need any He's he's 927 01:07:36.440 --> 01:07:40.440 yeah, who knows, Yeah, I don't know. I'm going to say 928 01:07:40.960 --> 01:07:45.960 a shaken nut stirred whatever James Bond has, that's what Goofy would have. 929 01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:51.760 I'm sure exactly. Let's see us out. Okay, this one, this 930 01:07:51.840 --> 01:07:55.400 one is a good question. It's a little long, but it's a good 931 01:07:55.480 --> 01:08:00.679 question. This one is by make Pete matter. Oh like a movement? 932 01:08:01.400 --> 01:08:08.599 Wait TT or d D instead of me to Pete two, make Pete matter. 933 01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:12.519 Pete is the original Disney villain, and that ninety eight is the oldest 934 01:08:12.519 --> 01:08:15.760 continuing character in the Disney's one hundred year history. He played a central role 935 01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:19.319 in goof Troop in the Goofy movie, and has appeared in every Mickey Mouse 936 01:08:19.359 --> 01:08:24.319 Show on Disney Junior going on twenty years. He has little to no merchandise 937 01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:28.560 available in the parks, in stores or online. He has no official social 938 01:08:28.600 --> 01:08:32.399 media representation, and just this year was added as a costume character at Disneyland, 939 01:08:32.600 --> 01:08:36.279 but no other parks. Why do you think Disney chooses to ignore Pete's 940 01:08:36.319 --> 01:08:44.520 existence and overlook him in favor of other characters? Wow, you know what, 941 01:08:44.640 --> 01:08:47.439 It never even occurred to me that they were doing this. I'm going 942 01:08:47.520 --> 01:08:50.640 to have to make some bone calls in the morning, no, and then 943 01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:59.159 they'll ignore me professionally though see no answer your quest question. I didn't notice 944 01:08:59.199 --> 01:09:02.199 that. But that's I want now. I want to know there aren't many. 945 01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:06.159 I think there's like Pete like Kingdom Hearts merch but that's about it. 946 01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:11.159 There's no other form of Pete. Really, I think you're right about that. 947 01:09:11.239 --> 01:09:15.079 Yeah? Is it because they love marketing villains now, like marketing villains 948 01:09:15.119 --> 01:09:15.960 is a big thing. So it's not that. It's not because he's a 949 01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:18.960 bad guy. I wonder what it is. Yeah, yeah, it's not 950 01:09:19.079 --> 01:09:21.720 that. Well, they have a show, a show, a shop at 951 01:09:21.760 --> 01:09:27.159 Disneyland, and I think it's just all evil witches, isn't it, Chris 952 01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:30.479 right there when you walk back. Yeah, that's right. They've got to 953 01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:34.760 shop for that, literally all the villains. Yeah, well, Disney Villains 954 01:09:34.800 --> 01:09:40.680 is now a brand like Disney Princesses. Oh yeah, well Pete's the original, 955 01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:44.960 so it is. Yeah, you think they'd be more marketing that. 956 01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:47.800 But I'm sure there's a reason. I agree. Yeah, I don't know 957 01:09:47.840 --> 01:09:50.560 it. I'm sure to keep money out of Jim's poet. That's the reason 958 01:09:50.880 --> 01:10:00.920 I know. It's always something from the Rodney dangerfield of animation. All right, 959 01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:03.680 final one here, bj Riggs wants to know. Can you can we 960 01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:10.640 hear Pete mimic Goofy's famous chuckle will let me see there? Oh yuck? 961 01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:17.680 I actually I used to do that in the show every now and then. 962 01:10:17.039 --> 01:10:23.000 Did I think in the episode we just watched because he was taking Mickey out 963 01:10:23.000 --> 01:10:26.800 of him of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so oh 964 01:10:26.920 --> 01:10:32.000 yuck. Yeah, well gorsh oh yuck. Yeah, that's about Ray. 965 01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:38.800 Yeah and for everybody listening, you can hear that episode on Patreon. Yeah 966 01:10:38.920 --> 01:10:41.720 yeah, Tommy's comment Terry of everything's coming up, goofy the pile. What 967 01:10:41.760 --> 01:10:44.439 we tend to do is we get the pilot episode of these Disney Afternoon shows. 968 01:10:44.439 --> 01:10:45.039 I think we're pretty much run through just about all of them. Now 969 01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:49.399 we're going to start doing other episodes. Right, what's done yet of Orn 970 01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:53.159 the Gummy Bears yet or things like that, But that's true, we haven't 971 01:10:53.199 --> 01:10:55.600 know what we haven't done. There's New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. We 972 01:10:55.600 --> 01:10:57.560 need to do that, as the pilot was out of that show. And 973 01:10:57.600 --> 01:11:00.399 it's funny. I believe the pilot episode that gym is the one you don't 974 01:11:00.600 --> 01:11:03.640 like because it's the one they go to the movies and you didn't like that 975 01:11:03.720 --> 01:11:06.840 story. Yeah, yeah, it was a weird one. Yeah, but 976 01:11:06.920 --> 01:11:11.640 that's okay, that's okay. We'll pretend that we enjoyed it. Yeah, 977 01:11:11.800 --> 01:11:15.600 no, I mean I do enjoy it. I mean, but yeah, 978 01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:17.840 it was my first time out and way back when, and I don't want 979 01:11:17.880 --> 01:11:21.279 to spoiler alert, but it wasn't crazy about my Winning the Pooh back then. 980 01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:26.039 Okay. I mean it took like about eight shows to get going, 981 01:11:26.079 --> 01:11:28.319 and I was like, okay, all right, now, God, that's 982 01:11:28.359 --> 01:11:31.960 interesting. Well we'll dive deeper on that. Yeah, good episode. And 983 01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:34.720 you know, there's been a lot of demand for Jim to go back and 984 01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:39.159 just revisit the New Adventures of Winning the Pool. People want this. I 985 01:11:39.199 --> 01:11:42.119 think we need to somehow work something out in twenty twenty four, are Winning 986 01:11:42.159 --> 01:11:45.119 the Pooh based show revisiting those episodes because I think of all the characters you 987 01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:47.720 do, there's people that connection to Winnie the Pooh. It's just there's something 988 01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:53.039 about it. Mate, there's just people love it. No, you're only 989 01:11:53.079 --> 01:11:55.600 one hundred percent rate, Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, and 990 01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:59.399 then Pooh's coming up after that. Hope you guys enjoyed this little deep dive 991 01:11:59.439 --> 01:12:00.960 here of goof Now, don't worry. We didn't touch too much on a 992 01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:03.560 Goofy movie. That's because we're going to be saving that for another episode. 993 01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:06.079 We're going to do a prop a deep dive of a Goofy movie. And 994 01:12:06.199 --> 01:12:10.479 an extremely goofy movie as well. The director video sequel, which came about 995 01:12:10.520 --> 01:12:13.840 five years after that, wasn't anywhere near successful as that first film, but 996 01:12:14.319 --> 01:12:15.439 I do love a goofy movie, so we're gonna be doing an episode on 997 01:12:15.479 --> 01:12:17.960 that in the coming weeks.
