But my first episodic cartoon was for a show called Dark Wing 28 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.519 Duck. Yes it was. And I walked into that room. This is 29 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.319 before animaniacs, is before anything, bro and I walked into the room and 30 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.799 I just recorded there yet I remember it well, yeah, yeah, yeah, 31 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.040 B and B yeah, a recording walk over there and he's sitting on 32 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.959 the end. Okay, And I didn't know listen, all you cartoon guys 33 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.519 out there, you know who everybody is. I didn't know who anybody was 34 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.639 except like the bass player for def Leopard. I didn't know who anybody else. 35 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.599 So I walk in and Jimmy sitting over there, and there's an empty 36 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.439 chair, so I sit next to him.

And I'm listening to jim and he's playing multiple 40 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.759 characters and I'm sitting next to him, and I've always done voices ever since 41 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.000 I was little, like, oh yeah, sure. But he starts doing 42 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.560 his thing, and if you could like looked at my thought process, it 43 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:37.199 was, oh, you gotta be really good to do this. And that 44 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.439 opinion has increased over the years. Man, Oh thank you, that's amazing. 45 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.360 Absolutely well you would know because you're way beyond really good. Thank God, 46 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.759 bless that many.

So I know you've been doing lots of cons here and there 51 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.039 lately, and do you get a kick out of those, because I sure 52 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:07.960 do. You know what, man, Well, first of all, you 53 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.560 know again, Jimmy, you are you know, Jimmy going into a comic 54 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.319 con. It's sort of like the pulp visiting a Catholic church in New York 55 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.560 City, you know what I mean. It's yeah, I was just gonna 56 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.719 say that because they just they just love them well, they love him so 57 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.639 much. Well, and they've seen jim on the right. Of course, 58 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.639 it's something I do with my mouth. Good. Not everybody, but at 59 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.719 any event, they love him out there, and yes we do. I 60 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.639 do have a great time. And I'll tell you, man, and this 61 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.280 is not lip service, and you know me well enough, I don't really 62 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.319 do lip service. But the best thing about the cons is that we have 63 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:49.599 an opportunity to hopefully encourage and maybe inspire some of the people who've been kind 64 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.039 enough to follow what we do for as long as they are right. And 65 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.199 it's like, I'll tell you a quick anecdote. I don't think i've ever 66 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.639 shared this one with you, but it's really fun and it sort of sums 67 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.520 up my whole con experience. I was doing a con somewhere in the world. 68 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.759 I don't remember exactly where, but I don't remember where I was this 69 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:10.000 morning, so that's not okay. I'm signning into what is happening, you 70 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.840 know. So anyway, I was at this con and I went in the 71 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.319 green room, which is where they give you snacks and stuff like that and 72 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.920 then poke until you get vail back out there. So I'm in the grooen 73 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.399 room having something to eat, and there's a lot of TV stars and very 74 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.560 important people milling around, and about fifteen feet away from me, at this 75 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.079 other table was a very well known TV star whose name I will not reveal 76 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.199 anyway, I'll tell you, no, don't do it. She no, 77 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.000 don't. And he's sent across from me, and I could and he was 78 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:41.160 like staring at me, right, and you know, I don't intimidate very 79 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.800 easily, and I'm like, why is he staring at me? So I 80 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.480 go, hey, man, what's up? And he goes, hey, 81 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.720 how you doing. I said, good, what's on your mind? You 82 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.160 know, because I could tell you had something? And he goes, he 83 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:54.040 goes I'm sitting across from you out there, and I said, yeah, 84 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.240 I've seen you and he said yeah, and he goes, you got a 85 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.199 big line, right, And I said, well, you know, thank 86 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:01.000 god, man, I said, I think it's because they think there's like 87 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.639 a water ride or a log ride up at the front, and then so 88 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.920 disappointed when they get up there and it's just me. But what are you 89 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.800 gonna do? It's very nice, right, but you know, and he 90 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.800 goes, he goes, yeah, he goes, I notice you'd take a 91 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.759 lot of time with him, right, And I go, well, yeah, 92 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.199 you know, I said, I figure, if they're gonna wait two 93 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.399 hours to say hello to you, the least you can do is give them 94 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.839 a couple of minutes, you know. And he said, wouldn't you rather 95 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.240 make more money? Right, and listen to his credit, I get it 96 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.519 where he's coming from, because the more you sign, the more you take 97 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.519 pictures, the more money you're gonna have at the end of the day. 98 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.680 Well, what I said was it wasn't premeditated at all, But I go, 99 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:38.000 I'd rather make a difference. Oh nice, good ants. Yeah, 100 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.759 it was cool, right, but the punchline do the whole thing and he's 101 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.120 kind of went, oh okay, and that was the end of the kind. 102 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.720 But I'll tell you what was neat is, over the course of the 103 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.480 next two or three days, I had several bona fide TV stars and all 104 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.040 their fabulousness come over to me and say, hey, I heard what you 105 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.959 said too, So I'm taking more time with them. That's great, And 106 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.040 that's that's the part of it, because you know, you, man, 107 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.360 Jim, Jim has the distinctions because if you're aware of this, but one 108 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.439 of the characters Jim does is we need the the something. Yeah, we 109 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.759 need the something. And apparently a lot of people have been sleeping with Jim 110 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.079 for years. And I don't mean no, I don't mean in that way. 111 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.959 I mean they're cuddling Jim and Jim is Jim has is this essential part 112 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.680 of their lives and their child. So when they get in front of him 113 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:27.199 and he starts doing that voice, man, it's like they're the magic power 114 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.399 that we all have to some degree. And you certainly exemplify, is that 115 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.079 when we do what we do, people become eight again. Yes, they 116 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:39.399 just you know in the beautiful it really is and a gift, what a 117 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.920 gift we have been given that we can do that for people exactly.

Oh, it's so hard to break in. 130 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:31.079 It's so hard to break in. It's so hard to break in. 131 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.639 He broke in. I broke in. If we broke in, you can 132 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.560 break in. But the point is a lot of people, you know, 133 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:41.000 there's a few of us who've had the rare blessing of doing this for as 134 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.839 long as we have and making this kind of impact. And what's an additional 135 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.120 kind of sidebar blessing is when they've become part of your life.

And now after meeting Chris's mom, I see 145 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.639 where he gets the good looks. Yeah. You know what I love about 146 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.519 Chris. Chris has that really low resonant kind of thing. Yes, he 147 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.519 does. Like he command attention. Man. She like if you went, 148 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.319 okay, sit over there, it wouldn't have been quite the same, you 149 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:31.799 know what I mean? That's right. I felt like I was dealing with 150 00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:39.360 somebody much more important than we are. True. True, Now you're hot. 151 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.960 Now you see a minute ago she was saying how she's constantly cold. 152 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.159 She is man. She you know one time we went up to Alaska, 153 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.799 You're life, You're in an igloo, and she's like, oh, I 154 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.919 burned it up. She was all right, look, Chris, are you 155 00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:01.559 really hot? I know that's amazing. I would love to Jim's thinking. 156 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.879 Well. By the way, speaking of that, here's a little anecdote. 157 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.440 While Chris and and Justin, I got Jim, oh, I know you 158 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.720 shouldn't have I wonder if I wonder if I know where this is the thing? 159 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.679 Okay, So Jim and I, Yes, before he met his before 160 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.679 we were and before I filled this think we were single at the same time, 161 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.200 which can be dangerous, can be and Jim being single in the same 162 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.440 zip code at the same time could have been dangerous. We walked in and 163 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:39.919 there was a soundtrack and we lowered like this. We had these done and 164 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:45.279 we went like that, let me tell you so say it out. So, 165 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.799 so Jim though, Jim has a secret weapon. Yes, okay, 166 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.799 because because whenever Jim would be chatting up some young lady or whatever saying low 167 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.480 or whatever, I come over and like a good wing. Then I'd say, 168 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.080 Jim does she know, you know what what you're doing? Oh, 169 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.200 I don't know, man. And I'd say, listen, my b he's 170 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.440 gonna do something special for you, and he's gonna whisper in you ears. 171 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.360 So just shut your eyes and let him take you someplace nice, right, 172 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.039 And they'd say okay, and they shut their eyes, and Jim would say 173 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:16.399 something like, I hope your dad is just a sweet even me, I 174 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.000 want to sit on his lap. But these women, these women, they 175 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.080 coagulated into like pools of butter. So I began to call him, get 176 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:30.440 this, this is one of mine ladies right there. I saw it in 177 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.639 action. Man. Yeah, well yeah, you know, to your credit, 178 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.960 you would, you would, you would. I would say, you 179 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.919 would be in the restaurant and you over there talking to some really unattractive girl. 180 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.480 Yeah yeah, and uh. And I thought, well, he's obviously 181 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:54.279 showing pity. He was showing something anyway. And he would say, girl, 182 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.159 a little a little bit of boo. Yeah, come on, my 183 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:05.840 friend says to George. Justah sweet and dropped the bike. Man. My 184 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.960 my favorite thing was and it was always poortend of good things to come, 185 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.480 and you'll go yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, big wiggle they did. 186 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.799 They did. When they would do, they would do the wiggle. 187 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:24.759 Yeah you know, And I thought, Okay, my work here is done. 188 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:31.759 See you're getting the real stuff. You don't get this stuff anywhere else. 189 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.840 No po whisper. Oh. Yeah, man, let me tell you 190 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.879 something, whisper No, babe, when you're out there in the trenches, 191 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.440 you need all the advantages you can get. And let me tell you something. 192 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.200 When you got we need the freaking pooh in your back pocket. You 193 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.399 use that. But I but I will say, I will say, And 194 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.720 Jim, I'm sure you can relate to this too. It's like, you 195 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.200 know, when the when the right person showed up. When I when I 196 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.960 met Kara, man, I literally I've been actively single for four years and 197 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.679 I was the only guy in LA who was really looking for a commitment. 198 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.759 I really wanted to find the girl and be done. And the night that 199 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.000 we went congratulation, I know you think you again. So the night the 200 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.200 night we went on our first date, I said, you want to do 201 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.600 this and I'd never done anything like that in my life. And we've been 202 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.200 together ever since. And all that stuff, all that little black book stuff 203 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.399 and the playing the foot. No, you didn't need to. I didn't 204 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.559 for you, man, I buried that stuff in the backyard, you know, 205 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:31.000 the good man. I hope you made a lot of that. And 206 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:37.879 then I met Peggy and then I put it started more stories. Yeah, 207 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:48.039 yeah, we're good. We're good. But just tell me about everything from 208 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.960 rock Sugar from all the way on down to what is the latest? Are 209 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.679 we doing anything musical right now other than being fabulous in yourself? Yeah? 210 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.159 Man, Well, God bless you for asking. So another parallel we share 211 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:05.279 is that Jim is a great musician, great singer. Never had sessions. 212 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.480 Went back back in the good old days when we recorded together, Jim would 213 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.320 sit next to me for the pair of the drumsticks and he always, I 214 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.879 know, I know, always with the drumsticks. Great drummer, great singer. 215 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.840 In fact, you know what I always thought was funny, And you 216 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:20.799 probably had the same experience. When I was kind of new to the business, 217 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.679 they used to do benefits and things like that. Oh yeah, yeah. 218 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.279 And the very first one I ever went to, I got up and 219 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.000 I sang I think I sang Open Arms by Journey right, And people came 220 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.519 up to me, our contemporaries and people who work in the Voiceoverfield, who 221 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.360 knew nothing about my musical stuff, were like, man, I knew, 222 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.960 I knew you said you could sing. I didn't know you could sing like 223 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.679 that. Like that, and you're the same thing. You're the same thing, 224 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.679 because I think no, it is man, I think that people you 225 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.440 know, when they hear oh the guy that does we need the pooh, 226 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.840 the guy that does wacko ad infinitum, you know, go oh he sings. 227 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.279 Oh that's nice. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Yeah is that? 228 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:01.559 And then I know exactly what you mean. And we had the gift 229 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:07.360 check this out. How's this for a supergroup? We because we we became 230 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.440 fans of each other's work as well as being great buddies. We we kind 231 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.720 of formed an ipso facto band where we would play at these charity things for 232 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.879 good causes and stuff like that. And it was me and you, Billy 233 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:24.000 West, Kevin, Michael Richardson, Joe Lala and is there's somebody I'm forgetting? 234 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.960 I think that was it w Berry. That was that was in the 235 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.960 task. This was a second band where all we did was like Bowtown stuff, 236 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.279 remember that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did. We did 237 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.840 like get Ready and all those kind of a Medley. Yeah, we looked 238 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.600 stuff and it was just but he's still he can still bring it. But 239 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.440 as far as the band very quickly. Look, i'm breaking the equipment, 240 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:46.399 Chris. I'll take care of that later. Thanks, man, you got 241 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.399 nothing over there. You're right anyway, chegure it out. Those who don't 242 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:56.519 know. I know you'll never believe that I've been in bands before. I 243 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.960 could see accountant me too, but that's too easy. But let me tell 244 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.000 you something, you guys, it's so good that I I've made a living 245 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.279 doing what we do because I have no qualifications to do anything in the real 246 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.200 worldsoever. But a few years ago, on a goof, I said to 247 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.320 my great friend Chuck Dran, who is also a friend of yours and admirer 248 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:18.559 of yours, I said, you know, it'd be funny, man, 249 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.200 it'd be funny if there was like an eighties hair metal band that got stranded 250 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.080 on a desert island at the end of the eighties and got brainwashed by eighties 251 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.039 pop music until they thought that pop was metal and metal was pop. And 252 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.679 he goes, well, what do you mean how would that work? And 253 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:31.639 I said, I don't know, Like you could play Edner sand Man by 254 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.039 Metallica. But I could sing because the chord changes are kind of similar. 255 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.519 I could sing Don't Stop Believing over the Metallica song, and we could do 256 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.000 like a mash up, and he's like, that wouldn't work, and they 257 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.480 tried to goes, Actually that kind of would work. So we did it 258 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.840 as a goof the thing fricking took off, like saying it like a rocket. 259 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:50.320 You guys were astonished, Thank you man. And we got to open 260 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.960 up you guys, seriously. We got to open up shows for Aerosmith and 261 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.360 ac DC and Motley Crue and def Leppard and Lincoln Park and all these like 262 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:00.360 Gloom and Aras whose posters we And they took you to Europe. Yeah, 263 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.559 they took a couple of times. Man, what the hell, why wouldn't 264 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.639 they please take us to Europe? So yeah, and it was just such 265 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.080 a fun thing because what we basically did is we took material that everybody knows 266 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.600 by heart, I did it in a new way. And we just last 267 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.600 year I think it was, we released the second album. The first one 268 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.759 we had to stop selling because of a lawsuit. But that's what everything worked 269 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.440 out. In the end. We're all here we're all five, and the 270 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.600 second one came out and did amazingly well again and we couldn't be proud of 271 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.480 it. If you guys like eighties music, go to YouTube put in the 272 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.759 words rock sugar, and I promise it, you're gonna dig it if you 273 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.639 do it right now. If I wasn't in that band, I like that 274 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.639 band. It's so much fun. So check that out. So, yes, 275 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.799 we're next year. I think we're gonna do some live shows again. 276 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.320 But I find myself Jim, and I don't know if you're of the same 277 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.399 mind. You know, we've been doing this for so long. These days, 278 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.440 what I really love doing, man, is just chilling out, hanging 279 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.639 with my girl, going for walks, watching movies, relaxing and stuff like 280 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.399 that. So the idea of like, I mean, I know with the 281 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.960 con thing, but packing up suitcases and hitting the road for extended periods of 282 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:08.119 time doesn't have the same luster that it did years ago. You know, 283 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.400 been there, done that, yeah exactly. But I still dig it and 284 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.319 it's not over. And thank god, you know, I can still do 285 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.400 that stuff like you can. And because sometimes you know, the years are 286 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.279 not kind to the things that we do. You know, yeah, I 287 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.400 mean, I remember you take good care of your pipes. I try, 288 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.079 man, I try it. But you know, but my old doc did 289 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.119 you. I don't know who your throat doc is. My old doc was 290 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.160 doctor Ed Canter, who was like the throat doc to the stars. His 291 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.400 office looked like a record label because there were nothing but platinum albums. Yeah 292 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.920 him and you may have over the year, fantastic, yes, but the 293 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.039 greatest of the great. Yeah. Yeah. So one day, one day 294 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.799 I went in there to see him and what he used to say, whenever 295 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:48.799 you look at me when I get beat up, because you know, like 296 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.119 I say, once every couple of years, my voice takes a vacation without 297 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.119 me, you know, you know, it just sort of goes, you 298 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.279 know what I remember once? Yeah, I do remember. Once you were 299 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.279 around. Yeah, dude, check this out, you guys. The best 300 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:04.480 thing to do if you have voice problems is just to be quiet, which 301 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:07.920 is hard under the best of circumstances. Happened to me though, before texting. 302 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.799 Okay, and I was living alone at the time, and I couldn't 303 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.319 speak for six weeks because I wanted to avoid surgery, and I did, 304 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.200 but man, that was a weird life. Experience. Bro Yeah, six 305 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.200 weeks living by yourself. Yeah, it was, it was. It definitely 306 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.240 was, because you've been we've been around each other for so long, you 307 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.559 know that you never know. But anyway I go see cancer, I go 308 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.200 see cancer. He would have me stick up my tongue and say ah, 309 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.119 and he'd lean back in this chair and you'd go, you're doing that, 310 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.720 sirch to sole at crap again, aren't you. Because of the gymnastics and 311 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.279 stuff, the acrobatics that we do vocally, we're not voices, aren't really 312 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.880 designed for that. We find ways to produce that stuff, but it's not 313 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.240 necessarily organic. It's you know. But my favorite story with that was one 314 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.559 time I went in there. I remember the movie The Emperor's New Groove. 315 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.680 You probably worked on it, Oh yeah, but I didn't. Well, 316 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.759 you worked on all the other ones. So I worked on that movie and 317 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:02.839 they hired me. The title song was for Tom Jones to sing. It 318 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.759 was a song called Perfect World, and they had me go in the studio 319 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.880 to sing it like Tom Jones, to play for Tom Jones so he could 320 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.039 hear it. Yeah, you know, so teach him how to do it 321 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:18.759 well, to show here's how you should say how he might do it? 322 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.240 Yeah, he's great. So so went in there and Tom Jones. You 323 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.519 know, man, that voice is really big and low in man. You 324 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:27.799 know you got to sing full out when you're doing Tom Jones. Yeah, 325 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.480 exactly. She's a leader, you know, and all that stuff. So 326 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.119 yeah, they're in there, you know, and I'm singing this thing, 327 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.279 and I happened to get one of those producers and I know, you've worked 328 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.319 with these guys who were like, that was fantastic, Let's do another one 329 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:42.759 that was fantastic, let's do it. You're kind of going, yeah, 330 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:45.160 what should I do different?

But it's Tom Jones and he's sitting there. And my doctor 344 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:23.160 says, hey, you know Tom, this is Jess Ronell.

He looks at me and he goes, well, then 352 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:49.839 you can imagine how I bloody feel. He's been singing like that like him 353 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:53.960 for a long time. Oh my god, true story. Man, that's 354 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.160 that's great. It's fun, right, that is great stuff. Well, 355 00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:02.920 don't you find that the music thing helped you out with voiceover immeasurably? Yeah? 356 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.759 Oh god, yeah, because you hear you hear melody, you know, 357 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.599 pictures and I think yeah, And I wasn't. I was into business 358 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:12.559 for a long time before it even occurred to me. But everything, I 359 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:15.960 mean, the lines are are music. Yeah, you know, what the 360 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:21.079 heck are you doing in here? Exactly a little bit at exactly right. 361 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.200 I always think of it as a saxophone. Yeah, that mean too, 362 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.359 That's what I mean. This is why we get a lot No, I 363 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.680 think in that in that I know that voice movie that we did a bunch 364 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.799 of years back with Johnny. Yeah, I kind of made the point of, 365 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.880 like, even with impressions sometimes, like when you do voices and you 366 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.680 find the music stop down, you know what I mean, And it's like 367 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.799 and you kind of if you followed it on a sheet, you'd be gonna 368 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.480 make a little a suff You hear me do that at home all the time, 369 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:51.640 taking stuff apart, you know, kind of figuring out how it works. 370 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:53.599 Yeah, I'm the subject of impressions. I just want to interrupt really 371 00:21:53.640 --> 00:22:00.839 quick. Well, I listen to your voice? God, is that sorry? 372 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.160 Goe? We like to do this thing on this show where we trade 373 00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.799 character voices. Good, so Jim will deliver a line in one of his 374 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.640 character voices, and then you say it in one of your character voices and 375 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.160 vice versas. That makes sense. Yeah, and by the way, I 376 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.359 watched a little bit so I know this. Okay, okay, all right, 377 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:19.640 so what do you want to do? Shall we start? I'll give 378 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:25.400 you one of my characters in voice and hopefully in script. So here we 379 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.160 go. Yeah, I have the terror foot Flaps of the Night. Okay, 380 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:30.839 Now, who do you want me to do it as anybody? Anybody 381 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.200 I choose?

No, 383 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:51.759 see does he do books on tape time? And that you know what's funny 384 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.839 that I just realized when you did that. See, voices are like equations, 385 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:59.559 man, and it's like this Crash Bandicoot was just it's one step away 386 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.200 from Eric cart Hey, you guys, Heaven be here coming, you guess. 387 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.519 So that's the same thing. And that is a step away from herve 388 00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:11.359 Miili Chase, which is a master my god. You see. Wow, 389 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:12.799 that's true. Boom dude.

Man, you can relate 394 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:38.480 to it. I can't too. Party emergency. I've got to party, 395 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:49.279 party, party. I just did not if you were single, it would 396 00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:56.359 have been not everybody. I love that. Man. Well, don't forget 397 00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:00.039 to remember to keep on bounching. Okay, okay, let's do that one. 398 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.839 Let's do let's do that one like Iron hide from Transformers. Yes, 399 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:08.640 okay, say the line one more time. Don't forget to remember to keep 400 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:17.039 on boots and don't forget to remember to keep on bouncing. Yes, yeah? 401 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:19.519 Or else? That was? That was me imitating Chris if he was 402 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:23.680 British. Here's a question, Jim, Oh, here's one. Why are 403 00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:29.359 there so many British things in space? For instance? Obi Wan Kenobi, 404 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:32.200 I'm not like, I'm not a a fiicionado on like on this stuff. 405 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.119 Like I'm sure a lot of you guys are, so forgive me if my 406 00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.440 facts are wrong. Obi Wan Kenobi was on a planet called Tattooine where he 407 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:42.440 met Loose Skywalker. Why was he a British guy. I guess right, 408 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.880 why was and why why? When I did Iron Hide? By the way, 409 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.319 why is he a British robot? He's he's from another planet. Yeah, 410 00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:52.359 and he's like, they go, no, do British. And I'm 411 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.839 like, okay, okay, if you say so. I mean, after 412 00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:59.200 all, everybody on Saturday is right. I bet you've done a lot of 413 00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:02.599 British space people. Yeah, that's true. See, well, you know, 414 00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:06.839 I I actually developed a mini thought about that, very small thoughts, 415 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.000 tell me, and it was that if we do you do an Aussie accent? 416 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.559 Yeah, Canadians not that distinct, but British and then Liverpool forget about 417 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.880 it, you know the best. But it sounds a little foreign. Yeah, 418 00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.400 but you can still understand what they're saying. Bingo much like travel. 419 00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:27.119 Yeah, that's why I like to go to Well, that's because he doesn't 420 00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:36.279 live with you. I'm sorry. The first time she came to the first 421 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:37.440 time she came to visit me, Bro, I was down. I was 422 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.839 so happy because I ug I dug her so much, man. And I'm 423 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.400 down in my office and she's up taking it. She can take a shower 424 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:47.880 over in the bathroom and and I'm sitting there in the in the office with 425 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:49.079 my little kitten, and he's purring on the desk, and I'm thinking, 426 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:52.680 what beautiful day got this wonderful girl, you know, And I hear this 427 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:57.119 sound from across the house, true and that, and the sound went like 428 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.599 and I'm like, how was that? And I thought, maybe it's like 429 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.400 a set of bad breaks on a car, or there's something in the in 430 00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:10.000 the heating system in the four stairs. So I'm like, so the cat's 431 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.440 ears go up and quiet right right right, exactly, thank you. So 432 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.119 I take a few steps and looking around for I'm like, the hell is 433 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.279 that? Get a little closer. I'm on the stairs now, and I 434 00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:26.920 hear I'm like, what the hell. Finally get in the bathroom, she 435 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.079 goes. I'm like, okay, okay, I got you, Ozzie. 436 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:34.440 And we just turned it right up, turn on the hot water. The 437 00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:41.440 shower in our bathroom is complicated, you know, as they are as they 438 00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.799 can be. Jim, I'm doing nothing, you never know, but it 439 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.680 is so many things to talk well, you know, and I got confused 440 00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.880 and I couldn't do it, and I was panicking because it was the first 441 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:53.480 time I was there, you know, wanted to take a good impression. 442 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.319 I can't work. She could work the plumbing, but when I get over 443 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:02.759 excited, I tend to go quite hot. Yeah, she's like the Osborne 444 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.839 on helium. Basically, that's kind of how to irritate you. I think 445 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:14.119 it's you learned how to work as plumbing. Yeah, better than I should 446 00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:15.400 have known. See, this is what I mean, folks. This is 447 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:22.200 not your usual. This is Oh my god, get out everybody. It's 448 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:33.440 going hot on her. Okay's got the move. Yeah, really sad, 449 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:41.000 really sad moves. God, man. But you know I I we have 450 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:42.960 so many cool stories. Yeah, we do things. You know. One 451 00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:48.480 of my favorites is that you you used to have. I don't think you 452 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.039 still have this illustrious neighbor. Oh you used to have? Yeah, man, 453 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:53.319 I still do. Is he still there? Yeah?

And uh, I don't know, you know what it's 455 00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.279 It's gone around before, so it's not really the end of the world world. 456 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.559 But yeah, for the longest time, my neighbor who he's referring to, 457 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.480 is William Shatner, and for like years and years and years he's thought 458 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:12.000 I was Gene Simmons of Kiss, which is pretty awesome looking for, especially 459 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.920 because I don't look anything like But I think in his mind, Jim, 460 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.400 I think in his mind, he's like, anybody that looks like me that 461 00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:25.160 can live on his street has to be kissed. There could be no other 462 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:29.480 explanation. So hard.

Yeah, I can do the gene tongue thing. Well, 465 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.359 that's just I don't know how this keeps going there. Listen, it's not 466 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:45.240 me, it's the listen appearances aside. I'm very I'm I'm very chill about 467 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:49.079 these things, but it keeps coming up. There's another one. Good night 468 00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:56.640 everybody. Now you got to me? No, but yeah, he the 469 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.559 the the the famous encounter, which I think you might be allude to because 470 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.160 yes, I am, oh god, And this was shortly after Jim. 471 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.880 You know I've lived in that house bro since Yeah you bro, Yeah you've 472 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:10.359 been I got twenty five years.

I I I my neighbor. 476 00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:22.519 I used to have his neighbor and he didn't sleep. All he did was 477 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.920 walk around the neighborhood with a pit bull and a gun because he was a 478 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.240 Vietnam war vet and it was this long story, had a plate in his 479 00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:32.359 head.

And this guy had no sense of humor, 486 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:47.359 right, so I actually thought, well, way to go, man, 487 00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:48.839 sure, way to go. So he talked about kids.

He goes, do you have a second, And I said yeah. 498 00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:23.000 So I walk over his car and he puts his head and he goes, 499 00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.079 I'm Bill, And I said, yeah, I know, Bill, 500 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.559 man, I know that. And he goes, oh. He goes, 501 00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:32.640 so up. You enjoying your house? And I said, yeah, very 502 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:33.680 much, man, I really like it. Now you got to know quick 503 00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.279 sidebar. Our house is crazy. It looks like a rocket. Hyeah. 504 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:38.599 It looks like a space ship. It's really weird. One of the most 505 00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:41.960 unusual houses in America, which is it is totally the reason I got in 506 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.480 the fir And it's so frecking cool. It is very very cool. And 507 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.880 he says he's a perpetual He's perpetually invited to everything. We do. So 508 00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.839 he's been there everything, so in any event, so he goes, so 509 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:55.480 you enjoying your house and I said, yeah, very much. Now this 510 00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.480 is the only time in the encounter where he became Captain Kirk because you know, 511 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:00.160 a lot of us, a lot of us who do what we do, 512 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.960 imitate William Shinner, but everybody is Captain Kirk. He doesn't really talk 513 00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.559 like that. He talked. He's just very conversational. It's kind of low 514 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.720 key. So, how are you good to see you? Okay, right, 515 00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.079 but at this next line he turned into Captain Kirk. I saw you 516 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:17.079 enjoying your house and I said, yes, I am, and he goes, 517 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:22.799 it's an unusual home, like right right, And in that moment I 518 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:25.160 was like, oh, there it is. That's cool. I like it. 519 00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:26.599 I like that, man, I like that. And I go, 520 00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:29.960 yeah, man, it's it's cool. I said, that's why I bought 521 00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:32.039 it, because it's different, it's unique. And he goes, oh, 522 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:37.240 and he goes, listen, Gene, there's something I've been dying to ask 523 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.000 you. And I said, okay, what do you got word for word, 524 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.240 dude, because I've told this story ever since it happened, so I 525 00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.319 know and even just this sentence, yeah, man, because nobody else but 526 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:51.440 him ever said this sentence except Frank Sinatra, and that was in like nineteen 527 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.920 sixty two. He goes, he goes, when you go out on the 528 00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:02.400 concert tour, there must be Broad's crazy. Broad's like crazy, dude. 529 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.240 Okay. So so I was like, that's first of all, I thought, 530 00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:12.000 well that's pretty good. You don't hear that all the time. So 531 00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:13.920 I go, I go, yeah, man, it can. It can 532 00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:19.319 get pretty crazy. It gets nuts. That's true. Who know, he 533 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:22.680 wrote the book. He's he I studied under him. So he goes, 534 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:23.759 he goes up, he goes. It's like I said, yeah, it 535 00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:28.559 gets pretty crazy. Now, this part was weird because what happened, dude, 536 00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:30.440 Jimmy, he was a little closer. He was probably where car is 537 00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:35.559 you're me. He's in the car seat and I'm standing outside the car the 538 00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.119 windows down. He's kind of leaning in for about eight seconds. After I 539 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:42.039 said I agreed with him that yes, it was crazy, all he did 540 00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.839 was staring into my eyes. It's kind of slackshawed for like eight seconds. 541 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:49.680 Now. I won't do it to you now, but and you don't think 542 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.960 that sounds long but try it sometime. You're talking to them like for eight 543 00:32:53.000 --> 00:33:00.440 seconds, and after eight seconds he goes, god, that's an I go 544 00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:05.119 yeah, yeah, and my skin it's great. Man. My skin kind 545 00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.680 of shrunk a little bit because he was creepy and I go, I go, 546 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:08.799 yeah, man, it's hot. It's hot. He goes, uh, 547 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:12.599 okay, got a goal, and he took off. And I think 548 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:15.720 the reason he took off so fast and went home is because he wanted to 549 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:20.039 go home and contemplate this idea of me and a Jean Simmons costume surrounded by 550 00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.200 women on the road, So he got that image fresh in his mind. 551 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:29.319 I think that's where he was coming from. Yeah. Absolutely, what a 552 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:31.039 what a gem? Yeah, he's he is a gem. He's still out 553 00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:34.519 there doing it, man, gem of a story. Yeah, and you 554 00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.200 know he's like he's like ninety three broninety three. Yeah, I think so, 555 00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.400 and he does. He does the cons. He's out there still and 556 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.799 people love him and they want to meet him. And he's moving. Sure, 557 00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:46.119 he's moving, Yeah, he really is. Maybe when he drives too, 558 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:52.319 Yeah, yeah, he does like a nut on ours. He's practically 559 00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:54.319 hit us a few times and it's never his fault. Yeah, and it's 560 00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:57.839 never his fault. It's never his fault. You were in his road, 561 00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:00.519 I was, you know, what is his road? We're just using it, 562 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:02.400 man, I remember. Was it was that with you? I think 563 00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:06.480 we're at your house or something and we're up at the lake. Isn't there 564 00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.360 a lake up there? Lake? Something up in the hills. There is 565 00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:12.320 a there's not terribly close to me, but I know, I think I 566 00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.400 know what you're talking about. But it was anyway, and I cannot, 567 00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:16.639 for the life of me, you remember what we were doing there. I 568 00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:21.519 can't either. But it was a long time ago. And uh, they 569 00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:25.719 had locked the gate. Yeah, they had essentially locked the joggers inside. 570 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:30.679 Yeah, inside the damn thing. And we're standing there and it's and all 571 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:38.119 of a sudden, up cubs shut and it shots on upo. Yeah, 572 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:51.480 it just shutters away. I know what you're talking about. That. Oh 573 00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:52.559 it's funny. I mean, dude, I could I could do this, 574 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.719 Like we could exchange these stories all day. I mean one of the fun 575 00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:59.039 things, like I feel like we felt like it was that night when we 576 00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.280 were all at dinner, just like, oh yeah, well we just went 577 00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.199 we went to the Russian Tea Room in New York. And we were just 578 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.280 in New York at their Great Comic Con and Jimmy and Peggy and car and 579 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:13.760 myself went to the Russian Tea Room, which is a historic site, and 580 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:16.199 we we befriended the manager, as we are want to do because as soon 581 00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:19.320 as they find out you're sitting with poo Haffner, they want to show you 582 00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:23.079 stuff. And they took us upstairs where they used to kill people. That's 583 00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:29.440 kind of cool, right, because you know, and you know what I 584 00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:32.320 thought was interesting. Everything was red, everything was read, so they didn't 585 00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:37.199 have to clean up the blood. Yeah, it was just one less thing 586 00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:38.800 to worry because you just had the sense being in there that there was a 587 00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:44.719 lot of solution. We got to talk about this problem. Let's go upstairs. 588 00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:46.559 We want to show you something. You know, you're going up and 589 00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:52.000 up. It was like an upstairs, it was another upstairs and then yeah 590 00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.559 no, but in seriousness, all kidding aside. What was amazing about that 591 00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:58.480 is that we did meet the manager. He couldn't have been kinder, and 592 00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.559 he showed us around this beautiful restaurant. And I remember being in there and 593 00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:05.039 looking at these incredible rooms. You guys that are not necessarily the room that 594 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.119 you sit in when you go there. I think you have to especially reserve 595 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.840 them. And I was thinking about what an amazing life experience that was and 596 00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:15.519 how blessed I felt and feel to have shared that not only with you but 597 00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:20.320 with you. Yeah, because we've had we've had a really close now you 598 00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:22.239 know, and and this is this is the latest one. You know, 599 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.280 in a year or two. You know, I'll turn it. I'll go. 600 00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:28.920 Man, wasn't that a gas when we did in your podcast that Yeah, 601 00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:30.440 yeah, I am, you know, and the answer will be yes, 602 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.199 yes, And it's nice that we know that, you know what I 603 00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:36.559 mean.

There's a couple extra leaves up there, 609 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:59.199 mister c Well not for long, mister, not for long. In fact, 610 00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:01.320 that's it. I'm right now gotta go. I think he is, 611 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:05.559 because you're going to go entertain the folks. But I am actually that actually 612 00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:07.119 I should go. Yeah, I don't want to cut you if we don't 613 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:09.559 cut short, I don't want to cut it. Well, I don't want 614 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:12.519 to cut it short either. Yeah, mean either. But we do have 615 00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:14.679 to get on a plane. Yeah, we got to get on a plane. 616 00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:17.639 There's that. Yeah, So thank you very very much. Yeah, 617 00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:22.000 just before we go, is there anything you'd like to plug any Oh that's 618 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.280 very kind you. That's that's very kind of you. Let's see. Yeah, 619 00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:29.199 check it out. So as far as as far as the necessity of 620 00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.159 doing plugging, check out rock Sugar on YouTube when you can. If you 621 00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:35.400 like eighties music, you won't be disappointed. Also, you know, we 622 00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:37.440 have these long lists behind us of the things that we've worked on that are 623 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:43.519 amazing. Something I'm working on currently that's really fun is this Disney Junior show 624 00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:45.440 called fire Buds. No, No, we're going fire Buds two and that's 625 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:50.199 a gas. The one I'm thinking about is Robo Gobo Robo Gobo. And 626 00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.079 the reason this show is so fun for me is because I think they kind 627 00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:57.559 of designed this character for me Jim, which I know they've done for you 628 00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:01.840 many times, but his character named Monk Wrench, and he's basically like me, 629 00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:06.679 but even more Steven Tyler out. So he's just this rock and roll 630 00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:10.559 monkey villain who just screams constantly and has a guitar that he shoots rays out 631 00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:15.360 of and stuff like that. So that's very very cool. One other thing 632 00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:19.519 I would love to plug is that Kara and I have started this little Instagram 633 00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:22.599 channel. It's not a podcast like this one, it's more a source of 634 00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:23.760 I noticed, you know, Jim, you do cameos all the time. 635 00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:28.039 I'm sure cameos are great because you can say hi to people and send messages 636 00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.599 for birthdays and things. But because of the interactions that we have with these 637 00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.000 people out on the road where we try to encourage him and talk to him 638 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.639 a little bit about what's happened or whatever, a lot of my cameos were 639 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:40.920 requests for advice, not that I'm qualified to give any because let's us that 640 00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.760 I'm not doctor phild Jim. I'm just made doing my thing, you know, 641 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:47.079 so, but they asked me for advice, or that asks me for 642 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:50.320 a pep talk or something. And I said to Kara, I say, 643 00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:53.079 you know what we could do. We could sporadically make little videos again with 644 00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:58.199 no qualifications behind them, but just years of living and years of learning about 645 00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:01.360 things that might be valuable people just as a nice thing to do. So 646 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:06.159 that's all it is. It's called Harnellovision. It's on Instagram. So in 647 00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.280 the face of all the negative stuff that we get faced with every day on 648 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:12.000 the news, and we hear more and more of it every day, and 649 00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:14.400 I know you feel the same way I do about it. It's just a 650 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:17.559 place you can go for two three minutes and each thing has a little message 651 00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:21.119 and here's what this one's about, and here's what this one's about. And 652 00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:24.159 it exists for no other reason than to hopefully make people feel a little bit 653 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:28.599 better for a minute. So check out Harnellvision. That's awesome, perfect, 654 00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:34.320 thanks bro. There you go, Hartnellovision. Oh and it's h A R 655 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:43.480 N E L E V I S I O N.
