Yeah, 16 00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:07.599 make geez, you know like there's Han Solo Everson for it is Hans Solo 17 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:14.319 in Indiana Jones. But I think pooh Tigger dark winged. Yes, oh, 18 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.959 I mean I do. I this is weird that. Yeah, I'm 19 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.680 it's okay, what do you want me to hear? Well, here's the 20 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.959 thing, here's the thing. We're talking like how he's talking, of course 21 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.799 talking, he's scamming everybody where where am I supposed to look? Yeah? 22 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.480 Because guess what his line was twice as long as mine. So shut up, 23 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.799 all right because you've done it longer. Yeah. Yeah, they're all 24 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.560 sicking me out there. But no, well that's it always, well, 25 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.079 that's always that's always the case. But yeah, it's good. You know, 26 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.680 I realize I don't think we ever worked on a cartoon together. But 27 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.319 I know you so well from being at these crazy conventions. With the conventions 28 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.079 I think, I don't you know, I've looked at different things. Well, 29 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.120 first of all, a lot of people don't realize that I don't think 30 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.920 we've ever had a an animated series where we've been in the same room. 31 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.520 Of course, that that's long gone. Now everybody zooms it and you know, 32 00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:14.080 and it's um. But I actually remember uh, talking to my agent 33 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.879 one time and said something about it something I don't remember what the project was. 34 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:23.080 It might have been, uh like the TMNT movie or something, and 35 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.680 and she said, oh, yeah, Jim, Jim Cummings like that thing 36 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.319 you did. And I'm like, wait, I swear this is true, 37 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.199 and I'll pray embarrass your But I was like, wait, she looks like 38 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.319 me. She was one. I go, Jim Cummings knows who I am. 39 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.039 Oh yeah, and I told you there years ago. Us No, 40 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.400 but no. But people don't realize. You know, we come to these 41 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.120 you know, conventions and you meet fans, and they don't realize that people 42 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.439 are we're fans of the people we've you know. I mean so when I 43 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.520 when I think about Peter Cullen or Welko or Maurice or Paulson, you I 44 00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.840 mean, I mean then Tress and and Jesse little bit. Yeah. Sorry, 45 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.080 it's just mostly I don't know if I love Jess or the outfits more. 46 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.280 Yes, uh one and the same I suppose. Yes. I was 47 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:15.719 gonna say he's a package deal. People, people who don't know the outfits, 48 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.120 can you guys describe what kind of stuff he wears? But I don't 49 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.159 know. It's it's like, uh, well you've been to Marty grom Okay, 50 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.960 just okay, because yeah, you know, you know the beads that's 51 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.719 his out. Yeah, that's yeah, that's pretty much. I thought that 52 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.960 was out. They're they're bright, Uh they are, they are something special, 53 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.319 but they are. I don't think people realize how much of a fan 54 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.599 we are of each other, mostly especially the one generation up to the next. 55 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.400 And it's just, you know, the body of work that you see 56 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.879 people do. And we've talked about Winnie the Pooh and taker how my wife 57 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.039 and I raised our kids on his version, and it's like and it's just 58 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.879 it's like there is there's I'm mean, got it. I mean, it's 59 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.800 just nobody else can do it that way. Everybody else is doing an impression. 60 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:12.479 Yeah, they got exactly some minor job security there. The next they've 61 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.319 tried and by the way, ladies and gentlemen, they tried, trust me, 62 00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:18.040 they've tried. But it's like, I mean, and the good thing 63 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:24.360 in this business for the most part, knock on wood. I've had gotten, 64 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.959 you know, auditions, they said they want you to do uh Scooby, 65 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.480 what you said, I'm like, does Frank know about this, I 66 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.360 think. So I'm like, I'll call them. Yeah, they're gonna have 67 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:39.079 you read for Pooh. And I'm like, does Jim know? Yeah, 68 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.759 and and and invariably if you come up and people go that actually happened, 69 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.160 Oh yeah, no, no, no, no, um, there was. 70 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.120 Well I knew, yes, there was. Something came out and they 71 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.560 wanted and well, that's it, that's it. That was It was a 72 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.120 story what happened. When John Fiedler passed away. They were looking for other 73 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:00.879 characters and they want that. Disney wanted back up. He was Piglet by 74 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:08.439 the way. Yeah, and they wanted backups. And I remember just going 75 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.800 does everybody know about it? And my agents were really good and they said 76 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.639 we'll find out, and they've said they're not happy about it. I said, 77 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:15.800 then I don't want any part of it. I don't want any part 78 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.279 of it. And the only one that ever they ever asked me to do, 79 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.839 and uh, Pat Brady, my agent, she had told me, 80 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.040 uh was Wayne all Wine. Uh. They wanted he wanted Mickey. And 81 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.480 Wayne was aware of it that up actually yeah, and Wayne was was aware 82 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:38.120 of it, and so I with his blessing, I auditioned, but I 83 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.720 said, I told them because I told her because they she knew Rucy Taylor, 84 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.759 who was Wayne's wife at the time, and May and Minny were married 85 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:48.720 in real life by the way, which is you know. And I had 86 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.959 like eleven auditions and they said, yeah, that's gonna be You're gonna do 87 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.360 that. And I was like wow, and and I said listen, and 88 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.319 I told the agents that said, let Wayne know I don't want anything job 89 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.839 that I he will know any thing we get that they want me to do. 90 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.600 I want to make sure he's doesn't want to do it or not. 91 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.839 And he was cool with that, that's fine. And he passed away like 92 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.040 a month later, and we kind of waited to see what happened, and 93 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.439 um Bob Iger decided like, no, we're gonna go a whole new direction 94 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.639 and h a new direction. So it never happened. Yeah, I know, 95 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.439 I was gonna say, you have to give us some the mouse is 96 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.720 on the money. Well, you know, well they have a great guy 97 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.160 now, I guess. I mean he's he's he's he's done a good job. 98 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.600 But it's like, so you know, you don't And I'm happy because 99 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.920 I think it may been uh, you know, probably the best job I 100 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.839 never got, because I just you know, it's like it afforded somebody else 101 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.600 the opportunity I've been doing other things. And that's a great thing about this 102 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.480 business. I think, you know, we we there's there is, for 103 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:53.000 the most part, a mutual respect. Yet I wouldn't and I've told him 104 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.040 right to his face. I read the Pooh and we need to and I'll 105 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.839 do take her and I'll do my thing. But it's like, I know 106 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.839 I'm just doing I'm doing a bad impression to him. Like I told Steve 107 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:08.480 Bloom, who's Wolverine? And oh, yes, I said the Wolverine. 108 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.199 They'll get auditions and I'm like, no, I passed, and they're like 109 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.279 you're gonna pass them, Like I'm gonna do a bad Steve Bloom impression. 110 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.120 Yeah, So I don't want to do that. Yeah, I don't want 111 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.319 to do that. So it's you know, it's but it's you know, 112 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.120 we don't. It's just well, I remember years ago they were trying to 113 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.680 recast The Simpsons a long time ago. I got a big ten twelve years 114 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.480 ago, and uh, and it was because they wanted money, big shock, 115 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.360 right, God forbid you know, it's the biggest show on television. 116 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.439 Can we get double scale? Of course to get this shit done Martin double 117 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.079 scale. Yeah. But but anyway, they uh, they went out there 118 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.399 and they said, well, what would you like to go on down? 119 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.439 And and I and my agent at the time sent me there to Fox and 120 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.920 I didn't know what it was for. And and they had all the Simpson 121 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:54.120 sides, all the pictures of all the characters, and uh, and I'm 122 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.959 going, why why what is this there? And he oh, well, 123 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.839 can you do a good home? And I go, I do an incredibly 124 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.800 good Homer. I'm so not gonna do this. I can't even begin to 125 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.959 tell you how much I'm in fact, I'm already not doing it. I'm 126 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.560 starting right now not doing it. Well. First of all, the problem 127 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.439 with companies doing that they have to realize what they when they call other voice 128 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.040 actors in yeah, we know, it's because you don't want to pay them 129 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.519 what the worthy. So what you're saying in retrospect is like, hey, 130 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.839 Jim, you're you're, you're, you're a cheaper option than what we had. 131 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.519 You'll take the money. It's like no, And that makes me say, 132 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.200 don't you know see oh there you go. I get it. That 133 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.679 was similar to a joke. Yeah, you know, but yeah, I 134 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.559 just so we never that was something that we just I just never was interested. 135 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.879 And then you know, I remember and the other thing about it that 136 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.360 I like about it. Somebody asked me, have you ever done Futurama? 137 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:58.039 And I said, you know, I actually read years ago for Bender and 138 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.639 I don't remember what I did, but I just know that it was not 139 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.879 as good at what John Demaggio does. Yeah, and you know there's there's 140 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.559 and I love that about Fred tattersh or great voice a Yeah. You know, 141 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.279 we've been up for the same agency. We've kind of came up together, 142 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.399 and you know, we'll sit there and hang out together. And I 143 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.240 said, he's like, oh, I'm doing this new cartoon. I said, 144 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.559 oh, I read for that character. What you do He said, 145 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.399 well, this voice. I'm like, oh, I did this kind of 146 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.039 thing. And I'm like, I like yours better, and he's like, 147 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.320 no, I like yours better. I'm like, well they liked yours better. 148 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.279 Yeah, well they hired you. So yeah. And the funny thing 149 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.799 is what happens though, is at some point, you know, and I 150 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.559 tell people when they audition just do your version, do something good. Because 151 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.960 a couple of shows that he's gotten, I've gone in as a bunch of 152 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.240 recurring characters. So I've done a bunch of those episodes, and then there's 153 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.039 been roles I've gotten, and sure enough Fred shows up at the session doing 154 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.039 the different guest star roles or recurring things. If you just can get in 155 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.600 the whole the pool with everybody, you don't always have to be the lead 156 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:05.120 character. Yeah, and I sometimes I like some of the smaller roles just 157 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:11.320 because you're you're doing more off the walls. Speaking of smaller roles in Zani 158 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.159 in this, you play quite a few characters on Rick and Morty. Yeah, 159 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.679 Yeah, that's a perfect example, you know what I mean. Um, 160 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.480 actually that ties in a bunch of things because they had a bunch of 161 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:28.960 auditions for Rick and Morty sound alikes and because of Justin Roland doing the voices 162 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.919 and I I just passed on it. I was just like, look, 163 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.600 number one, I don't know if I could do it great. Number two, 164 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.360 it's really hard because like you know, Rick's always like doing Yeah it 165 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.039 does the Burbs and it's really and there. And I've met people I know 166 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.759 do it better. But the other thing is just like you know, Royland 167 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.679 and all those people at that show. You know, they'll call me and 168 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.679 like, hey, we have three episodes. We need you to do these 169 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.240 different characters, and and uh, you know, and yeah that sounds great 170 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:07.120 and it's it's less heavy lifted, gotta you know. And it's so cool 171 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.200 because they just will hire me on it and they'll be like, okay, 172 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.399 so what's the first character. And it's like, oh, he's like so 173 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.200 just we have this teenage kid. He's sitting on the couch and you know, 174 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.600 he's like, you know, he s gets you do something kind of 175 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.840 nervous. Yeah, it's like, what are we gonna do? I don't 176 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.919 know, you know. And then and they I'm the vice president. I'm 177 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.279 the vice president. And then and he's they showed me the artwork and he 178 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.399 just looks like this massive he's got a big warden. It's very big, 179 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.120 note perfect. And I looked like Tip O'Neill if they scrunched him down to 180 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.840 about five feet tall. And uh, and I said, you know what, 181 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.159 you know, who needs to be in the White House? And this 182 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.000 is this is literally how we got the character, said ross Pero. We 183 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.320 gotta bring him. Sear did like a rash per and it just became that 184 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:54.080 this thing and that's the vice president. So it's key. So h Keith 185 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.519 David is the president Ricord Morty and I'm his little vice president. That's you 186 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.960 know, just little these little parts and it's so yeah, I know him 187 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.080 as doctor Fasiliers send a frock. Yeah cool dude. Yeah, so I 188 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.039 didn't know he was. I didn't know that. Yeah. So no, 189 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.399 so this, you know, there's the Rick and Morty. Playing these little 190 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.159 incidental characters sometimes can be uh great. When after I did the TMNT movie 191 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.440 in two thousand and seven, is Raphael, they started a series and everyone 192 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:22.960 said, oh, you guys are gonna do the series. I'm like, 193 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.399 I don't know. But it was a different set of producers and you realize 194 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:33.080 they're going to do their own direction. And so Sean Aston ended up going 195 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.559 as Raphael did a great job, and but they hired they hired me to 196 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.039 do uh the krang. So so Krang, I do all the krang And 197 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.840 it was like Krang would have like two three lines say yeah perfect, yeah, 198 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.600 and you'll be like it was great. So I was in a bunch 199 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.600 of episodes and yeah, I got like those guys are like, hey, 200 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.399 enjoy your four hour session. You know Hal Smith rang has a tea time. 201 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.840 Oh yeah, yeah, Hal Smith, the great Hal Smith. He 202 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.600 was Otis Campbell on on the Andy Griffiths Show way back when. Well he 203 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:11.480 was the original um uh owl in Winnie the Pooh. I didn't know that. 204 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.639 Yeah, And we were doing and he was still around. John Fieler 205 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.039 was still around, God bless him both. And Paul Wincher was still around. 206 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.080 So I was this poom and way back when, and um, you 207 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.480 know, we're all sitting there and we all did it together, which I 208 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.759 really like. I like it when the whole cast is better. Ensemble casts 209 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.000 way much much better. And Hal was in there and uh and I think 210 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.320 it was Andrea Romano and she said, well, hell, do you want 211 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.440 to just pick up your line? And and oh sure, sure, sure, 212 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.039 I'll get it done. So he did his line and he was out 213 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.519 of there and I and I saw him the next time. I asked, 214 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.080 man, I was really sorry that you had to just do that one line 215 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.840 and go, he goes, not me.

I mean, I a matter of fact, I 234 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.480 just we still have them. It's waiting for grandchildren, and I would. 235 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.799 It was so much fun, you know, to do Christopher Roman and you 236 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.960 know, I mean I do all they do my own version, but watch 237 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.639 them. I remember my kids with their little banking in their mouth and I'm 238 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.799 just reading these like oh and and and it was just to do those voices. 239 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.799 Not as well as the originals obviously, but it was just so much 240 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.559 fun to do that, and it made it it was kind of it was 241 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:31.519 like it was great, you know extra Yeah, well that's very therapy. 242 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.919 Yeah, it was good therapy for Yeah. Well, looking at your credits 243 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.279 in your career, it strikes me as like you're really good at impressions, 244 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.840 like, well, yeah, where did that? Where did that? Kind 245 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.240 of can because Jim talks about you know, some of the very ones that 246 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.120 you've done that are just knocked me out. Well, you've got walking in 247 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.200 and you talk about Jim two. Sorry, you talk about Jim too. 248 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.080 A lot of your voices, you know, come from impressions of family members 249 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.440 or people you grew up with. That was me. Yeah, yeah, 250 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.919 so that's similar to you. I yeah, no, my uncle bought from 251 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.440 he had his mass here's a talk just like this. I mean, it 252 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:04.879 was great you know, yeah, and it was really loud because he had 253 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.759 a hearing problem, so everything was very loud and as an accent, wicked 254 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:14.519 bad. So I mean TMNT I was mentioned earlier Repel there's a guy who 255 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.039 talking it's kind of this is kind of this New York kind of thing like 256 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:18.440 this. Yes, and that's a kid I went to high school with. 257 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.679 Yeah, he sounded just like this. I mean that, I mean yeah, 258 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.399 anyway, So but impressions, Yeah, I always liked him. I 259 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.000 always like there were certain ones I could do. I think the first one 260 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.960 I ever did was just goofing around it. I don't even know if I 261 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.360 haven't done it was it was just gaise occasion. It became today on Mary 262 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.759 and you know, now it's time what was it? Now it's time for 263 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.799 a long distance dedicasion. This one goes out just Sandy and rowing over Virginia 264 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.120 and then and then and then I remember it went to Johnny because I used 265 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.960 to watch um Tred McMahon. No, but who no, no mcmah, 266 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:03.200 but who did Kevin No? No impression is rich little great Johnny Kushin. 267 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.720 I remember watch him do that. No, this is weird and one of 268 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:11.960 the lunch times. Um I did that for for Johnny Kushion and um yea 269 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.400 and adjacent and Atlantash that is weird. Alan is a great story. Yet 270 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.440 and somebody went, who's that? I said, it's Johnny Carson. They 271 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.920 go, who's Johnny Carson. I was like, get out. Yeah, 272 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.200 And I just went and drank in a dark room alone, going oh, 273 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.839 I hold this for me. Yeah yeah, oh he's sleeping. It's like, 274 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.880 well, you but you didn't know you know who's I knew Steve Allen, 275 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:34.960 I knew who that was. Okay, yeah, I actually know history. 276 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.279 Read a book. Yeah anyway something, um but you know, uh, 277 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:44.160 And yes, there was a time where we had voice matches and it 278 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:48.920 was the strangest audition process you've ever seen, because like six seven, a 279 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.680 dozen guys could show up and they say, hey, they need you down 280 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:57.000 at Sony Audition to work. I'm like really, And we'd go down and 281 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.559 it became the same cast of characters. It would be tad as Shure, 282 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:03.960 there'd be a bunch of different people. You walk in, who are we 283 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:08.359 doing today? And I did Christopher Walking right, that's for a couple of 284 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:12.720 things. And I ended up doing this thing because everybody did the Christopher walking 285 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:18.720 up here guys. Wow. But what happens is when he gets down, 286 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.920 he gets he gets serious when he's talking. And the first one was with 287 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:29.680 Tony Scott Man on Fire and he was in a gospel man. They took 288 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.599 her creasy. The funny story behind it was like, that was the line, 289 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.680 they took her crazy? Where's the girl? They took her creasy? 290 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:42.200 And yeah, But the funny thing about it is, I asked, I 291 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.680 said, so I had never done. It was my first one for him 292 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.039 and I said so, I've never So we're just replacing that one line. 293 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.400 And in the adr director was like, yeah, so I said, what 294 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.680 happened? He said, oh, it's pretty funny. I actually watch and 295 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.039 they showed me a couple of outclick takes it and his Denzel Washington goes it 296 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:03.279 just Ranke leans over. He goes, where's the girl? It killed her 297 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:06.079 crazy? And they're like cat and you him, you ever been laughing? 298 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:07.519 And he starts laughing. He's like, oh, they didn't kill her. 299 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.119 The guys, I no, okay, go deep, where's the girl? 300 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.880 They cut a hat off crazy? She's dead. He starts laughing, and 301 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.319 you're like watching and You're getting to see this behind the scenes thing, and 302 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.759 I'm like, this is hysterical. Yeah, and apparently they just finally called 303 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.200 it and like he's never gonna say it, everyone got the giggles. So 304 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.079 yeah, and they forgot to pick it up. So I came in, 305 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.480 they speckled it up, and I get residuals on that forever. Now for 306 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.160 one line. Yeah, yeah, I've done about six of his movies. 307 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.960 Um, that's Travolta. Um, not like you know, Vinnie Babarino, 308 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.559 but John Travolta kind of sounds like this and if you put that, And 309 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:52.160 that's the weirdest thing is, I don't see it until they played my voice 310 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.160 back through his face and I literally went, oh my god, it sounds 311 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.319 just like him and Tony Scott. I was doing it with Tony Scott and 312 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.400 he goes, he goes, that's right, mate, that's why you're here. 313 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.200 And I was like, right, but that's really sounds like he thought 314 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.880 that was hysterically and he was like no. I was like, it blew 315 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.440 me away. So if you ever see Taking of Pelham one, two, 316 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:17.240 three yea on television, because what Tony Scott would do, yeah, not 317 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:23.039 the original Okay, the one with with Travolta, John Taturo, Denzel Washington 318 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:29.720 remake. Yeah, so Tony Scott would never edit a movie like hey, 319 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.880 let me tell you something, mother Fletcher, you know and they or something 320 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:38.359 like that. Yeah. Uh, he would recut the movie and uh so 321 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.400 you wouldn't see the dubs he would take. He would take that line off 322 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.039 cut to an and somebody else, and they had me redo it, and 323 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:52.319 unfortunately was sad. Travolta was going to come back and cover a lot of 324 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.920 the stuff, and then his son passed away and they called me back in. 325 00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.079 They said, we're gonna go back over this again because he's not gonna 326 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.880 be able to do it. We need to release this. And again it's 327 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.079 gonna be you. And so if you hear that movie, you'll see him 328 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:08.759 yelling, what are you gonna do? Carver? You're gonna shoot me? 329 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:14.039 And I remember watching it going wow, that sounds just like him.

That's drums, 363 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.119 that saying like Phil Collins, there you go. Good enough for him, 364 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:25.960 good enough for me. How old were you when you were in your 365 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:30.519 first band? Oh? Boy? Uh? I don't know, seventh grade 366 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:36.519 probably you know what, it was a fantastic perel Okay, you and I 367 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:41.240 had a great convention experience together down in Pensacola, Florida, not really at 368 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:47.680 the convention, necessarily at the bar talking telling Evan cocktails, eating burgers and 369 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:55.759 what was it? You were telling me his story about the van and you 370 00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:03.039 had a gig in Pensacola and the van. I stole every stitch of clothing 371 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:04.079 I had. Can you retell the story for it? And I had, 372 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.279 well, I had all this rock star clothing. I had a shirt that 373 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.559 was so bad assid looked like it was made of aluminum foil. That's how 374 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.160 badass that shirt was. Aluminum foil. Think of it. Okay, it 375 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.960 was the seventies, Leave me alone, but uh but yeah, and we 376 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.680 went out the next you know, we just were tired, went to bed 377 00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:26.799 when I gotta get my stuff out of there, and I opened up and 378 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.319 everything is gone. I mean, you know, I mean I didn't have 379 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:36.440 underwear. I didn't have anything that took your underwear. Yeah, the whole 380 00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.440 the suitcase and the hanging. I was the only idiot who didn't bring it 381 00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:42.960 in. And uh, you know, I had my little toothbrush and I 382 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:48.240 went in and and it was just awful, and I ended up going and 383 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.640 we were planning at a place called the Stone Pony, and we hadn't even 384 00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.480 opened there yet, and so I said, well, I gotta go to 385 00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:56.880 the mall. I gotta go to the mall. And I bought a couple 386 00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:03.279 of shirts and they were exact duplicates of the shirts that the guys who worked 387 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:06.640 there had. So now I show up and I and I and I go, 388 00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.160 oh shit, you know, somebody's gonna be asking me for to bust 389 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.319 their table now. And so I did. No, I'm in the band, 390 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:17.440 made a couple of extra bucks. Make some tips. You make some 391 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.039 tips, yeah, tip money, don't lose your shirt. I just think 392 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.759 it would have been great if you were out there in the band that night, 393 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.559 looked out like the table and like that guy's got my shirt on. 394 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:33.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would have been less fun act man. 395 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.440 But yeah, so you know rock and roll. Yeah, I know. 396 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.480 I think I think that's the funny thing people say, Like what people have 397 00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:42.799 asked me, like if if I didn't do this, what would I what 398 00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:45.559 would I dream job be? And a lot of people because I played baseball 399 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.200 in college, or they think a rock star. Man, I mean I 400 00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:52.519 think everybody deep down it's like I'm the guy who's like, I Man, 401 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.240 I can rip it up in the shower. I just yeah, that's right. 402 00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:59.440 It sounds so good. Yeah, but I wouldn't. I don't know 403 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:03.359 if I like Yeah, and you can keep doing it. Apparently, according 404 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.000 to Keith Richard, I saw a thing the other day Willie Nelson had quoted 405 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.240 he said, uh, he said, we need to take care of this 406 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:11.400 global warming, because what kind of world do do these young kids think they're 407 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.759 gonna leave?

I had not got 448 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.000 detention, And I was like because I usually got away with it, to 449 00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:57.440 be honest with you, and I sat down, I started doing homework. 450 00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:02.200 He's put that away. I said, I can't do homework, and he 451 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:03.640 goes, no, I want you to sit there quietly and think where these 452 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.039 stupid voices are going to get you someday. Oh okay, And I was 453 00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.640 like okay. And of course at the time, I was like, well, 454 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:14.480 I guess nowhere. I guess because I didn't. This is not something 455 00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:18.839 I thought I would do. Um. But when you look back at your 456 00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.599 life, you go, this is what I was meant to do. Yeah, 457 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.039 you know, it's just I've grown up in New England. It was 458 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:29.200 like, this isn't a job, right. I mean people in California, 459 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.880 Hollywood, they don't even eat McDonald's. Yeah, you know, I was 460 00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:37.079 the kid who going, you know, like being New England watching a Monday 461 00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.480 night football game and it's like it's sunny there. What part of universe is 462 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.279 that he wasn't a bright kid? Yeah? Yeah, maybe I should. 463 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.759 Maybe mister Fish was right, maybe it was no. But the thing is, 464 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.240 it's like and then you finally find your place and you find the things 465 00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:57.440 that you're doing, and uh, it's it's it's really cool. Yeah, 466 00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.039 and you know, I got the last laugh because I went back to my 467 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.039 high school years a long long time ago, and I gave X amount of 468 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:11.960 bucks to perpetually ongoing scholarship year to year to year to year to year. 469 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.559 And it's in my dad's name. And I just and I said, please 470 00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.880 tell me jim Mon still is here, and they go, no, that 471 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:22.079 doesn't ring any bells. I go, okay, well, if he comes 472 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.680 walking over to that plaque right there and show him my dad's name and have 473 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.519 him wild, guess who who put it there? You know, I have 474 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:34.200 no idea. I know, you know. Revenge is good though, yeah, 475 00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:40.880 and he probably doesn't even remember. He's probably right. We need a 476 00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:45.559 what yeah yeah, yeah, you know what pooh is right anyway? Yeah? 477 00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:52.039 So yeah, So what's next for you besides another con Um? Have 478 00:30:52.160 --> 00:31:00.680 you written anything? No? Yeah, just curious now I have not why 479 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:06.160 enough. I haven't written anything, but somebody who wrote something. But that's 480 00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:10.440 for that's something that we're not gonna We can't but we can't tell anything. 481 00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:14.240 Could be something in the future, I could think, but um, yeah, 482 00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:17.720 no, uh, stay tuned, stay tuned. It's you know, 483 00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:21.200 it's it's that one thing I was talking to somebody today and I think it's 484 00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:25.960 a good way to talk about it is I think as artists, and I 485 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:27.519 use that word lightly, I'm not one of these people. I'm an artist, 486 00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:33.319 but a no. As an artist, I think you never really content. 487 00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:36.359 But I'm but I'm happy. You know, I'm very happy with the 488 00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.240 things that I've been able to do, the people I've been able to meet, 489 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:41.160 the things like things like this, I mean, getting to travel to 490 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.359 sit with you and all this stuff. But it's okay if you don't feel 491 00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:49.000 content, because I can't imagine a painter does a beautiful painting goes, well 492 00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:52.000 that's the last one. I got it. I got it all out. 493 00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.240 Yeah, you know, you always want the next thing, and uh somebody 494 00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:57.680 said, how do you how do you deal with that? Like there's always 495 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:00.240 the next thing? And I'm like, well, that's the excitement of it. 496 00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:02.440 Yeah, I said, you know what, why would you look at 497 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:05.079 like, oh, I got to find the next thing?

That's 504 00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:30.160 the great thing about this business, especially you know, especially in the voice 505 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:31.839 side, is we can we can do this till we drop. You know. 506 00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:35.599 We were talking the other day about like, yeah, you can. 507 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:37.839 Why I retire? Why why would you? Yeah? You know, I 508 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:42.279 mean I'm not we're not digging ditches, We're not you know, drilling. 509 00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.039 Yeah, you know, yeah, still ringing, I'll answer, yeah. 510 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:49.000 And you can do it a lot from your house these days, you know, 511 00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:52.839 and yeah, exactly, Yeah, and you know, and there's and 512 00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:54.559 there's yeah, and you know, there's new new, you know. I 513 00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:59.720 remember when I got into voiceover, I was doing non camera stuff and then 514 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:01.559 somebody said, hey, you should talk to a voiceover agent because you're always 515 00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:06.640 goofing around. Yeah, and I'm like, okay, And then breaking into 516 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:08.519 animation at the time was really difficult. So they said, hey, they're 517 00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:13.000 doing video games now, it's usually just you know, grenade and get down 518 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:15.440 and oh yeah, and I was like, yeah, I have kids, 519 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:17.640 I'll do that, sure, you know. It's well they were like, 520 00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:20.839 it's just yelling. I'm like, well I'm gonna yell at my kids. 521 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:23.720 Yeah, yeah, I might as well. Yeah, let's say what I 522 00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:25.920 remember I gonna do. It's like, well, it's only minimum, I 523 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:29.240 think. It was like, it's only like seven hundred dollars. I'm like, 524 00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.839 I'll yell for seven hundred dollars. I don't care anyway, and it 525 00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.880 and and then that evolved, so who knows what the next thing will be, 526 00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.759 and you know, just look forward to it. And you know, 527 00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:44.079 now it's just like hopefully I like looking at like who else is doing this? 528 00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:46.359 Probably like if somebody you know, your audition for something or you get 529 00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:50.319 your landed jobs, like who else is in it? Who's too? Do 530 00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.839 we got? You know? And it's like, uh, you know, 531 00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.079 because it's because we're still you know, there's still time, you know, 532 00:33:55.160 --> 00:34:00.440 we get one. We may see each other just on zoom, but yeah, 533 00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:02.680 we haven't done a show together. Yeah, but that happens to a 534 00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.960 lot of people. Well, now you have, well, now we have. 535 00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:09.360 Now we have that's right, we have now we have I mean talking 536 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:12.760 about it you know, it's interesting here you bringing up you know, like 537 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:15.000 the introduction to video games, and you know, it didn't really know what 538 00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.280 that was about because of me and Jim had been talking a little bit about 539 00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:20.119 you know, like he was saying, you know, like, oh, 540 00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:22.320 he's done a lot of video game voices. You know, I've done kind 541 00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:24.079 of more cartoons. It's almost like we're two different worlds, like but at 542 00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:28.360 the same convention. You know. Yeah, well, I mean, you 543 00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:32.159 know the thing is is that was just you know, people say, how 544 00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:35.360 did you know it was going to be so good? I didn't. That 545 00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:37.920 was the opportunity, that was the foot in the door. Yea. And 546 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:42.639 what happened is the games. Then people said, okay, then now you 547 00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.280 transition to animation, and then you know, I auditioned for Nickelodeon show and 548 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:47.480 you finally get one, and then you do this, this and this, 549 00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:52.800 and all of a sudden, now you're doing animation. Um, you know, 550 00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.440 and and and now I know, people going back and now you get 551 00:34:55.480 --> 00:35:00.440 people move you know, people Gary Oldman did a call of duty. I 552 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.119 mean people are doing that kind of stuff. Yeah, I mean yeah, 553 00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:08.360 yeah, I mean they're doing yeah Reeves, I mean, big names, 554 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:13.119 so they go back and do that. So um, you know, it's 555 00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:16.800 just like you said, you know, it's I think it's funny when people 556 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:20.079 said, well, I just want to be a voice actor. Well that's 557 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:23.079 great if that's just what you want to do, but understand that you should 558 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.360 be an actor. Yeah, you know that. We meet so many people 559 00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.199 who say I can do all these voices, you know what I mean. 560 00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:34.760 It's it's like, I mean, I guarantee there's people out there. There's 561 00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:39.760 somebody out there that can sound like Nathan Drake or sound like when should sound 562 00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:45.760 like Winnie the Poem, but they can't do the performance, certainly can't sing. 563 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:49.320 Yeah, I mean people don't realize that, I mean, what that 564 00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:53.480 takes. And it's like, no, that's the guy you know who who 565 00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:59.119 is that character? Yeah? Yeah, you know that's the one thing that 566 00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:04.079 you've really screwed anybody in the future because it can't it's it's not gonna be 567 00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.880 able to be done. It's good, I hope, I mean it's really 568 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:13.599 Yeah, well no, it's it won't. It's just it's a it's it's 569 00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:15.320 a legacy. Yeah. How does it feel, Jim, when people like 570 00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.239 I know, I see a lot of people at the conventions, they come 571 00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:21.559 up and they do one of your character voices, like what's the internal monologue 572 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:22.920 when when somebody comes up, I can, I can? I can answer 573 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:30.119 that question? Yes, yes, this Oh yeah, that's sweet. God 574 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.079 love you. Yeah, yeah, that's really great.

Some of them will do characters in mind 579 00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:54.960 and you're like, and you're like, that's so sweet. They're a big 580 00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:58.280 fan, they do it, sure, sure. And then it's the people 581 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:04.440 who really really yeah, we got it, and they get a little there 582 00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:08.639 are It's it's rare, but there's some people who get a little it kind 583 00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:12.840 of yeah. They're like, so I'm like, how would I get the 584 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.440 agent? I'm like, oh, you're serious, yeah, and you know, 585 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:20.280 in order to take my job? Well let me see. Yeah. 586 00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.480 It's like, okay, well, good luck. The thing the thing with 587 00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:29.400 the like with with voices like that, it seems to me that that job 588 00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:35.199 a Pooh or a Tigger or Scooby or you know, well, no, 589 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:38.159 I mean mine, it's it's a different thing. But because those are iconic 590 00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:43.079 characters, and I felt I always felt like as we were talking about the 591 00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:47.199 Mickey One, I told I told my agents, I said, you talk 592 00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:51.760 to you tell Wayne, oh wine, God blood rest his soul. I 593 00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.679 said, you tell Wayne. I will not do anything until he wants to 594 00:37:54.840 --> 00:38:00.199 mentor me or pass it on to me. When he's like I'm done or 595 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.159 I you know what, I'm not doing the ice show. I'm taking this 596 00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:09.239 thing. If you but be stow that on onto say if you know it's 597 00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:13.840 like that, you don't, I'm not gonna sit here and go give me 598 00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:16.079 a little pop. Let me try to Jim, what do you think about 599 00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:20.760 my pool? It's like, you know, if he came to me one 600 00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:23.519 day and goes, hey, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna cut back 601 00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:30.320 on you know, let me hear let me. It's like you that's his 602 00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:35.039 job is something that he would have to bestow or the powers would be just 603 00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:37.199 take it away, and that's that's horrible. So I think, you know, 604 00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:42.559 but Dan Castelanetta, if he wanted to step away from Homer, you 605 00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.039 know that should be Dan's choice. Yeah. Then then like, hey, 606 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:47.360 you know what, I know someone who doesn't, and I'm gonna work with 607 00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:52.159 him as I slow down. Yeah, these are characters that have to Frank 608 00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:55.159 Welker would have to come and find someone say, I'm gonna I'm gonna work 609 00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:59.559 with him on to do Scooby. I'll keep doing Fred but I'm tired. 610 00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:02.440 It's it's a lot of work that should be bestowed upon someone next. You 611 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:06.719 don't just you can't. It's not a job that should be should be allowed 612 00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:09.199 to be taken, you know. And some and he's done it for how 613 00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:15.159 long have you done it? Poo well eight mid eighties, eighty five and 614 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.480 ticker on and off. So and I have a story about that the Tiger, 615 00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.880 Yeah, a long time. I mean it's like, that's that should 616 00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:27.920 be Yeah, we have very very rarely do you feel like true ownership of 617 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:32.199 a character. But if you can, wells Welker and that Scooby and Freddie 618 00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:38.039 He's yeah, and that's it. That should be his choice. And it's 619 00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:44.119 like and and all these great characters, these these the iconic ones that that 620 00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:47.280 Yeah, I just think it's well, it's ridiculous. Yeah. Well on 621 00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:50.960 that topic of like kind of like you know, ownership of your voice. 622 00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.760 You know, like a big part of this strike is you kind of over 623 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:57.199 AI, you know, and the ability to mimic you know, especially when 624 00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:00.360 you have so many, so much voices recorded you that goes into the database 625 00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.119 and that gives it even you know, more knowledge on how to replicate your 626 00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:07.719 voice. I mean I've heard ones, you know, Obama or Joe Rogan, 627 00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:12.360 you know, people who have thousands and thousands of audio recording is online 628 00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:15.519 and it's just kind of like whoa. And you know, my understanding is 629 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:19.679 that part of this strike is there was a clause in there where they're trying 630 00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.519 to buy likeness for like a day rate, and like we have your AI 631 00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:27.519 likeness for like yeah, yeah, but I think that's a big that's just 632 00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:31.199 you think it's people worked up. It's the worked up, ridiculous thing that 633 00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:35.000 they know they're never gonna go and it's the one thing that they can say, 634 00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.639 Okay, well we'll take this off the table. Okay, but you 635 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:38.480 have to It's like no, no, yeah, that shouldn't be on the 636 00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:40.599 table. It's ridiculous. We're going to get to the truth. You go 637 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:45.239 in and watch them by exactly the a I think the Lai thing is. 638 00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:47.960 And I don't understand it all that well, but you know what, the 639 00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:52.760 biggest best defense against any Ai stealing his voice or my voice is a really 640 00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.800 good lawyer. Yeah. Yeah, and the threat of a threat of a 641 00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:01.840 lawsuit. I mean, if if if a studio is stupid enough to go 642 00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:05.800 and say, Okay, we're gonna we're gonna take a bunch of Gym's old 643 00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:08.480 lines and it's him, because you can hear and I had that. And 644 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:13.679 there's also you know they've done this in court. I mean they can go 645 00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:16.280 listen to the voice Brinton put it and go, yeah, that's him. 646 00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:21.559 Yeah they No, that's not an impression. That's him.
