I don't know. 203 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:54.519 I remember that it wasn't originally wasn't and Peter Cullen was the first modern 204 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.639 Jack, right, yeah, he did half of them. Right then halfway 205 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.919 through Ted Stones or somebody decided to switch over. Yeah, and they play 206 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.639 and they go, well, we we want you to do Monterey Jack now, 207 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.039 and I go, We're like thirty shows in and he goes, well, 208 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:15.480 here, I'll play you your your original audition audition and I said, 209 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.639 wow, that kind of accidentally.

Because I'm already on the show doing all these 212 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.200 other characters, and so that's comfortable, you know, Oh yeah, let 213 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.000 me go. And so you're friend Monterey Jack in front of the guy. 214 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.840 Yeah, and then but just is right over their head. So I ended 215 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:45.919 up switching into Monterey Jack. And it's really weird how that happens.

The yeah, the recurring theme that I hear from 274 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:25.359 fans over and over and it should be a given, but it's remarkable to 275 00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.640 me when they say, oh my god, you guys are so nice. 276 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:33.440 Well, Jesus Christ Wow, why would we not be?

And the number of times I've seen you do Winnie and see 283 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:10.039 grown men and women crumble, yeah, because of what that means to them 284 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:15.519 because somebody has now gone from their life or this was my brother passed away 285 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.640 but you'll never know. And a couple of years ago, when the Christopher 286 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:26.200 Robin movie came out check this out, I remember seeing you at work and 287 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:33.920 I said to you, dude, I'm telling you, if there's anybody that 288 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:40.839 is going to be nominated for an Oscar as a voice talent. I mean, 289 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:47.279 this is crazy.

Oh yeah, film 301 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:51.319 people who came and then they watch Jimmy start to riff and do they literally 302 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:57.079 say, I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're expecting, but I 303 00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:02.359 don't do that. Yeah, and they you we hired you to be whatever, 304 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:08.559 but it really is. You see big time recognizable movie stars who are 305 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:15.119 dumb struck when Trust starts ripping or Frank goes off, and oh yeah, 306 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.319 and it's um, it's really something to watch.

I don't even remember six eighty seven. I don't remember the 316 00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.720 show. I don't think it was Flintstone Kids, but it was. I 317 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.920 don't either, I could have been. There were so many shows that didn't 318 00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:06.359 like why Fire and uh Snorks, which was Smurf's Underwater. That's right. 319 00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.440 But you go in and you're working with Ruth Buzzy and Artie Johnson and all 320 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:18.200 these people that we Yeah, Jonathan Winters on laughing. And Jonathan used to 321 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.279 have his own TV show on CBS, and at the end of every show, 322 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.279 the stage hand would just throw him a hat and he'd put it out 323 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:30.279 and go and he the first time I worked with Jonathan. I worked with 324 00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:32.920 him, I don't know, half a dozen times. Oh yeah.

Jimmy and I were the entertainment at the last supper we've 499 00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:37.440 been around while no, Little Richard literally was there at the birth of rock 500 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:44.039 and roll. Little Richard chuck yeah, and Little Richard got screwed by his 501 00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:51.119 record cover over and over again, and the amount of money that folks who 502 00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:54.480 took advantage of those artists and those days made back then. Yeah, heart 503 00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:59.000 Chuck Berry too, Chuck Berry, And people used to say, Jesus, 504 00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:01.519 you know, Chuck Berry is kind of surly and angry.

Oh 507 00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:12.079 and the guy's got to go on do concert dates when he's seventy eight years 508 00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.639 old because he's got to pay the rent. Bullshit. Yeah, well Springs 509 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:21.079 saying the story that he, uh, they apparently Chuck had a thing. 510 00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.280 You know, Chuck Barry had to think toward the end of his career that 511 00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:25.639 he'd say, Okay, you want you want, we want Chuck Barry the 512 00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:30.199 cup. Okay, I want a soupcase full of money, and I want 513 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.320 ten thousand dollars in it. You got a half hour out of me, 514 00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:37.480 and I ain't bringing no band. You bringing a band? And they better 515 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:42.159 know my music. Yep and so, and Springsteen tells the story that he 516 00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:46.679 was playing earlier in his career at like New York State Fair, somewhere and 517 00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:52.920 they hired Little Richard and and he got wind of it, and the promoters 518 00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:53.639 saying, well, you know, I got to dig up a band. 519 00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:55.719 No, we'll do it, We'll do it. No, no, no, 520 00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:59.599 no, we'll be No, you're not looking for you're not looking for 521 00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:04.480 a band. Yeah, weird his band about that. And so Bruce Springstein 522 00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:07.840 the Street Band, got to back up a little Richard at the New York 523 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:13.760 State Fairy. It cows in the background and Bruce fricking Springsteen, is it 524 00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:19.119 Dusty Jimmy? Yeah, that is such a different level. And she would 525 00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.079 literally be there watching this guy, you know, sweat on it, just 526 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.559 like he always did, tons of makeup, Yeah, stressed to the nines, 527 00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:30.159 Little Richard. Yeah. And then then the kicker I'm leaving. There 528 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:34.960 was a little music room with a crappy spinet piano there at Hannah Barbera and 529 00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:39.639 uh, we'd go there and rehearse songs to record, and yeah about walking 530 00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:44.199 out, and Chris Zimmerman, who used to be there working. There's Gordon's 531 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:47.679 assistant Rob. Come on back, come on backers, What did I miss 532 00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:50.840 something? I no, no, you got to check this out. So 533 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:54.199 Richard found out that there was a piano and I stick my head. He's 534 00:39:54.199 --> 00:40:00.559 going, I'm on to tell Uncle John said I had a lot, a 535 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.039 lot all baby, Yeah, baby, that's the key too. And he 536 00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:09.360 was just doing it because he could. Yeah, and everybody was just going, 537 00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:14.000 oh my, oh my god, just banging the ship out of the 538 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:16.440 piano. Yeah, thank you, I love you, got to see you 539 00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:22.400 goodbye. I know, it's just yeah, well I think I told you 540 00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:25.679 my Bray Charles story. Wow. I don't want to repeat myself, but 541 00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.159 oh you were telling me, yeah, go ahead, Yeah, it was 542 00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:31.039 the one. Um, this is a great story. You know. I 543 00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:35.480 have no idea. This gotta be like fifteen years ago, maybe twenty, 544 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:37.679 and I was back at Lax and I was getting ready to go home. 545 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:42.079 I don't remember where I was coming from, maybe Ohio and walking down one 546 00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.199 of those big long hauls. Yeah, and there was nobody there. But 547 00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:50.079 these four guys are come walking up and one of them is really kind of 548 00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:53.400 really having a tough time staying on his feet. But he's cool looking, 549 00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:58.000 and he's dressed to the knives and he's got his shades up here and I'm 550 00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:01.239 walking and I'm walking. Ah good, Oh my god, it's Raychel's and 551 00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:08.079 I didn't know what to say. So have Ray Charles and he goes, 552 00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:15.519 how are you doing? Baby? So I was baby? Ray Charles called 553 00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:21.199 me baby, oh my, And that that's the closest I could come to 554 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:25.960 your story. You win, But at least it was Ray coolest. And 555 00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:30.159 what's so great is that you know all my all your heroes are Clapton, 556 00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:36.239 Jeff backs Um, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, all of them. They 557 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:42.480 they shake when they talk about Richard and Chuck Berry and Elvis you know, 558 00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:46.239 Carl Perkins, well without them totally. And oh, don't forget it, 559 00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:49.599 another little Richard thing. Yeah, I said, so you're going to see 560 00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:51.400 Paul mccays. Yeah, well I know Paul for years. You go, 561 00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:54.599 I said, well you played with them? Oh no, they opened for 562 00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:59.400 me. Yeah, the Beatles opened for me. And I mean it's like, 563 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:02.039 just so you know, not many people can say that, Yes, 564 00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:08.119 how cool is that? And and that little clip that they showed on KNBC 565 00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:14.679 was Paul you know, doing this to little Richard. Oh yeah, and 566 00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:20.400 Eric has just talked about yeah. So it Yeah. For a knucklehead from 567 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:24.159 Flint, Michigan who was in a couple of bar bands. Yeah, yeah, 568 00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:30.519 pretty cool. Aim Man. Wow, it's been a beautiful ride. 569 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:35.079 Huh oh dude, And thanks to you guys, it's not over. Yea. 570 00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.199 We both still are, you know, fortunate to work back in LA 571 00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:44.760 in the traditional sense. But yeah, man, to have this second wind, 572 00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:52.840 and we're old enough to have this stupid legacy of killer work that has 573 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:59.400 appealed to literally billions of people around the world and were but we're young enough 574 00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:01.159 to do this because there will come a time where you're going, Man, 575 00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:05.199 I want to, but I just can't do it. In fact, I 576 00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:10.199 remember seeing um Carol Spinney the Big Bird, who was the guy who was 577 00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:14.599 in Big Bird, and he went to the last four or five cons that 578 00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:15.559 I saw him before he passed away, and he was I don't know, 579 00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:20.159 eighty seven, yeah, and he's sitting there like this and he'd signed like 580 00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:22.679 this, and I thought, oh my god, I don't want anybody to 581 00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:29.159 see that. Yeah. So while I can do this, I can't not 582 00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:35.639 do it. The effect of all this work that we were paid really well 583 00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:42.239 to do is bigger than our paycheck, bigger than ratings, bigger than action 584 00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:47.679 figures. It is this crazy expression of joy and love and kindness that has 585 00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:55.119 no bearing on your sexual predisposition, or your color or your age. What 586 00:43:55.320 --> 00:44:02.119 part of the world you're from, you goes say bunga you know um are 587 00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:10.000 dude?

I couldn't speak their language. Oh boy said we learned to speak 591 00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:34.119 English one we love. Oh that's and the same thing.
