00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,200
four, working for Disney. Oh
wow, yeah, wow, Yeah you

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,480

five, but I was, you did.

31
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:01,480
I was working on you know,
walking. Oh, you know,

32
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:06,920
it's like working for Disney. I
didn't know that. You didn't. How

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,000
did that keep going? Please?
Well I was. I probably was doing

34
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:15,240
Disney's stuff before you were. Yeah. Yeah, so back in the seventies.

35
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:21,759
You win. Okay, not everybody
go oh it's crazy, that's wicked.

36
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,520
But yeah, my very first job
was Foxing the Hound. Well,

37
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,400
my first feature film was Foxing the
House. That's well, that's true.

38
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:30,639
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so I played the Hound. Wow.

39
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,960
Yeah, that is so freaking cool. How did I not know that?

40
00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:38,520
I don't know. Jeez, that's
crazy one of us did. That's

41
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:40,159
right. Well, you know,
at the end of the day, it's

42
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,520
part of the Disney family. But
it started with my sister. Oh so

43
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,360
here, here's some more for you, some more trivia. So my sister

44
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:53,000
started the Disney connection. So when
I was three years old, I would

45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,639
go with her to the set.
She was seven. She's three years older

46
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,639
than me, so I was three
and a half. She was You weren't

47
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,960
joking, boy? Yeah yeah,
but anyway, so yeah, so at

48
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,400
seven years old, she was in
Mickey Mouse Club mousekets here. Wow.

49
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,800
Yeah. So I used to go
with her to this set every day and

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,719
then people would, you know,
hear my voice. And that's how I

51
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:16,039
got my first job. It was
a casting lady that was in the Burbank

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,520
offices while she was on this set
filming. You know, some ladies walking

53
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,639
by and she hears me, And
I guess when I was a kid,

54
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,919
you know, I always had this
rough voice, a little rasp or whatever.

55
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,039
Yeah, and so I sounded like
as a kid. I sounded like

56
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:35,439
an adult woman. So you still
do it? Really, it's awesome.

57
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:39,719
It's a very kind of you,
jim So. Yeah. No. But

58
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,639
anyway, I was, you know, I had this voice that I guess

59
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:46,000
was like you know, mom da, I'm like, you know, talking

60
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,599
to my mom about something, and
the lady said, you know, can

61
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:53,599
you please ask that lady it'll be
quiet. We're trying to shoot in here.

62
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,639
And then you know, and then
I say something else, really,

63
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,680
the lady needs to stop talking.
And they're coming in. They're like,

64
00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:00,680
where's the lady? Oh, is
it you? And she's like, no,

65
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,319
no, no, I'm the mom. That's my son. You're here.

66
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:05,759
Yeah. You know, he's got
a loud voice, and I'll tell

67
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,599
him to shut up and then she's
like, no, that's amazing, Like

68
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,599
he's perfect. Like I've got to
bring him in for something if you let

69
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:16,360
me in. And that's kind of
how it started. So it started because

70
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,160
of my unique voice. And then
my first you know, feature film was

71
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:26,680
starring in at Disney Animated Classic.
Wow, no kidding, that's that's not

72
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:30,399
a bad first gig. Yeah,
madeor motion picture. But it took me

73
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,720
years. Okay, I mean my
first first gig was a McDonald's commercial.

74
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:38,800
Oh so at three and a half, the first thing that I shot was

75
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,240
a McDonald's commercial, and that commercial
ran for the next eight years, won

76
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:48,639
a Klio Award. It's a classic. It was the Christmas Gift Certificate commercial.

77
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:54,040
If you remember where the little kid
was walking down the stairs and then

78
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,680
he sees Santa Claus at the bottom
of the stairs with the gift certificate and

79
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,560
yeah, you remember, that's nuts. Yeah, the little boys like that

80
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,160
was me. Oh man, is
that crazy? Is he still smoocho?

81
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:11,360
Yeah? That is wonderful. Yeah, oh man. So we've been in

82
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:16,560
each other's lives all the time.
Yeah man, that's now. Let me

83
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,759
tell the story of how I met
you. Oh yes, I kind of

84
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:25,079
remember that one, I think,
so. Yeah, all right, So

85
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:30,279
I met him at the Playboy Mansion
of all places, so not Disney,

86
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:36,160
of use. Yeah, and you
and you were you were up at the

87
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:41,519
crack of noon, as I recall. No, it was like I think

88
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:44,439
it was late, wasn't it.
That we were trying to get out of

89
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,199
there and yeah, yeah, we're
in the game room. The famous Game

90
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,480
Room, and I think I was
playing a game of pool, I believe,

91
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:56,120
and we were all standing around the
pool table and somebody said, this

92
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,120
is the guy who does Winny the
Pool. He's the voice of winning the

93
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,759
Pool. And I was like,
I got to meet him. And he

94
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:09,360
went I said give me some money. So I was like, oh,

95
00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:11,959
I got to meet him. I
got to meet him, and so we

96
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,879
came over, we said hello,
and then here's the crazy part. So

97
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:20,519
my son, his name is Zen
and he was a little tiny baby and

98
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,920
he was so cute at that time. Now he's not. He's a man.

99
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,480
He's a man. He's a strong
man. Now I'd be very upset

100
00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:32,959
if I called him anything, that's
right. But anyways, so he was

101
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,240
a little tiny baby and his favorite
thing, his favorite cartoon character, of

102
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,199
course, Winnie the Pooh, And
because of it, we used to call

103
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,720
him Zenny the Pooh. That was
his nickname, Jenny Pooh. So we'd

104
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,839
be like, oh, Jenny Pooh, come here, you know, and

105
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:53,560
he loved it, right, So
he loved Winnie the Pooh. He read

106
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,439
all the books, we you know, played the little tapes that go along

107
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,839
with the book and all that kind
of stuff. So he was used to

108
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:00,959
hearing the voice, and I said, oh my god, I'd be great

109
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:04,000
if you could leave him like a
voicemail message, you know that I could

110
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,160
play him later. So he was
kind enough to take a moment, and

111
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:12,519
he left the most adorable little message. You should have seen his eye.

112
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,000
Oh wow, when I brought it
for him. He's his eyes got this

113
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:23,319
big. What you met Winnie the
Pooh? It was so cute. Oh

114
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:26,800
yeah, well at that age too, that's that's that's Poohville. He was

115
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:29,639
like three, Yeah, yeah,
perfect, that's perfect. Oh that's good.

116
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,079
Thanks for telling me that. Thank
you for doing taking the shie.

117
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,480
Yeah. I've since been a real
weasel, so I'm they're never nice to

118
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:43,800
anybody. That's not I'm all stuck. You did it all good enough?

119
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:46,199
There you go? Oh man,
well that's like the Gooies. Yeah.

120
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,519
Hey, wait a minute, was
that a segue this before? Hey?

121
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:56,160
I might have been on an interview
here, Yeah, I wouldn't think so,

122
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,360
yeah you have you know, well, the Goodies. I think it

123
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:03,680
was one of the cool movies.
I mean, everybody in it went from

124
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,759
being child star to movie star.
Isn't that crazy? I mean, I

125
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,480
mean, except for Jeff Cohen who
but he's like the biggest entertainment wlayer.

126
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,000
Now yeah, you know that works. Yeah, everybody's everybody from that film

127
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:20,279
ended up successful. Yeah yeah,
yeah, Kerry Green became a director,

128
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,720
Artha Plimpton went to Broadway and did
many, you know, huge movies and

129
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:30,879
TV series. After Sean Aston,
he sho thriving, still thriving. Yeah,

130
00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:33,440
I don't know what Josh Brolin is
doing. Yeah whatever, he just

131
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:37,720
kind of went right down into the
dumpster. Yeah, nothing there, too

132
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:39,559
bad. I mean, you know, I thought the kid had some so

133
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,879
much you know, potential. Yeah, I thought maybe something. You know,

134
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,159
he's kind of good looking. He's
got muscles and stuff, so you

135
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:50,559
should be like, yeah, you
would drinking or something. Yeah, it's

136
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,759
weird. H And then that that
Asian kid boy he just disappeared off the

137
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,799
map. Huh. Yeah, you
want a Academy award, Isn't he Isn't

138
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,480
he? I was gonna say,
talk about the same guy. No,

139
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,080
but he did disappear for like thirty
years to everybody. Well, but he's

140
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,759
comeback, Yeah, credible comeback.
He got such a great speech. Yeah,

141
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:13,840
it wasn't it beautiful? I was
crying. Yeah, that was so

142
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:18,399
inspiring, right, But but he
he didn't really disappear. For those of

143
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,440
us, you know, who love
him and know him, he was working

144
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,879
the whole time, but he was
working behind the scenes. So he was

145
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:31,200
in Hong Kong doing movies with Chat
Lee as a fight coordinator. People didn't

146
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,080
know this. Yeah, he was
a badass stunt coordinator, fight coordinator.

147
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:43,480
And he did actually worked on conspiracy
theory with Richard Donner or was at least

148
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,039
a weapon for well one of the
two, or maybe both. But he

149
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,639
was doing you know a lot of
behind the scenes stuff for Dick Donner and

150
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,080
you know from the director from Gooney's. Oh yeah, he continued to do

151
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,799
all kinds of stuff. I mean, he was he was just very busy,

152
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,600
but always behind the scenes and really
had given up the idea of acting

153
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:07,039
altogether, which was crazy. And
then all of a sudden he gets this

154
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:09,799
script, you know, and it
was like, oh, I think maybe

155
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,159
I'll you know, consider some jobs
or whatever. Got a new agent,

156
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:15,960
and he was at my house when
he goes, yeah, they sent me

157
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,320
this script and you know, this
little independent movie. And I thought,

158
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,639
oh man, we don't know if
it'll ever be seen. We don't know

159
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:24,960
what's gonna happen with it, but
you know, I'm really hopeful it comes

160
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,919
out. And if it does,
you got to come support me. You

161
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,399
got comes upon me. Okay.
I was like, okay, yeah,

162
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,639
I loving me so sweet. Oh
but anyway, so so the movie came

163
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:35,559
out and he calls me up.
He's like, oh, we're gonna have

164
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,000
a We're gonna have a screening.
You gotta come. I was like,

165
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:41,600
okay. So they did this like
Q and ah went down to the screening

166
00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:46,159
and I was just like, my
job was on the floor. And when

167
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:50,879
I saw that the fanny pack sne
Have you seen the movie? Everything everywhere

168
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:52,240
all at once. Oh I don't
think I have. Oh you got to

169
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:56,440
see it? Oh wait, maybe
is a great Yeah it's it's yeah.

170
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,840
I think it's on Netflix right now. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's

171
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,840
rotating. I mean it won like
ten Academy Awards. Yeah, it was

172
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,120
the biggest movie. I don't get
out much. I'm sorry to say.

173
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,799
That's all right. Well you can
watch it at home now. Yes.

174
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,679
Yeah, it's a new thing.
I've heard of that they've got these things

175
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:15,919
called TVs. Yeah, I've heard
put stuff on them and then they send

176
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,039
you a check. That's right,
that's not that works for everybody, that

177
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,080
works for you. Well, that's
good stuff, man. Yes. Wow.

178
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,559
So do you do a lot of
cons nowadays too, because at least

179
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,720
a a lot. I don't do
a lot. I don't like to to

180
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,879
wear myself thin, you know,
I like. I think it's special.

181
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,360
The reason why I always do so
well, I think is because I just

182
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:43,320
don't go to a lot of them. I do maybe three or four a

183
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:48,960
year generally. But I do spend
a lot of time seeing the fans because

184
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,840
I'm always touring. That's the new
thing. I mean. I put out

185
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:58,399
this giant box set last year,
which is a thirtieth anniversary of my first

186
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,720
album. My first album came out
in nineteen ninety three. I started recording

187
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,799
stuff for it in nineteen eighty six, oh man. And my first single

188
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:09,639
ever came out in nineteen eighty nine, which was a soundtrack for a film

189
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,159
called Dream, A Little Dream.
So the very first material I put out

190
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,200
to the public was a vinyl single
in nineteen eighty nine, and then it

191
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,360
took another four years before we actually
got an album together and released it.

192
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,799
And even then it was like independent, you know. It wasn't in record

193
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:28,240
stores. It was like I was
handing it out to people like, hey,

194
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,279
you got to listen to a music
and if you don't like it,

195
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,399
you could use it as a frisbee. It's you know, a coaster or

196
00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:39,759
something. Yeah. So yeah,
but anyway, so we just put out

197
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:43,799
this thirtieth anniversary which we took the
original two inch tapes, the big thick

198
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:48,000
tapes. Oh yeah, and we
had to bake them. I don't know

199
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,360
if you know about this, but
this is this is a thing. It's

200
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,759
a real thing. So you know, for those people who remember the dinosaurs,

201
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,080
and there was back in the dinosaur
days, there was Fred Flintstone and

202
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:01,919
Wilma and they had these big two
inch tapes that we would use on these

203
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,399
big giant tape machines and when you
recorded, you actually had to cut the

204
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:11,759
tape together to actually splice stuff.
And seen it done many times, try

205
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:13,639
it, but right. Yeah,
So we would record all our stuff.

206
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,279
So we had this stuff in these
big Master tapes in my vault, been

207
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,120
sitting there for all these years.
And I was talking, do you know

208
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:26,960
Don Dawkin is Dowcin rocking with Dowkin
from the eighties? Oh oh, no,

209
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:33,879
oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
So don Dawcin. I run into

210
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,159
him. He's a really nice guy, super sweetheart, and he says,

211
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,480
oh, you know, I said, well, I got all these tapes.

212
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,039
I don't know what to do because
well, you know, we just

213
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,000
did a project, the Lost Tapes, and you know what you do is

214
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:46,600
you bake them in an oven.
I said, I've heard about that,

215
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:48,480
but is it really true? And
he says, yeah, I've got the

216
00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:50,600
oven for it. And I said, okay, well if you could help,

217
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:54,440
that'd be amazing because I've got all
this stuff. And he said yeah.

218
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,960
So we took it. You know, there was like a specialist who

219
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,960
sat there and went through every inch
of the tape and they have to clean

220
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,600
off all the mold and they have
to do this whole chemical process. Then

221
00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:09,000
they take it, they put it
in this oven and what happens is the

222
00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:11,440
magnets fall off over time. So
when you're dealing with, you know,

223
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,919
live tape, because you know,
tape and film are a live thing.

224
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,759
I mean it's actually people don't know
this, but film is a moving being.

225
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,360
It's a living entity, living film. So yeah, so when we're

226
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,200
dealing with tape, you know,
the magnets fall off, and it all

227
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:31,519
kind of falls apart and departiclizes.
So what you got to do is you

228
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:37,759
put in this oven and the magnets
magically jump back into their place right where

229
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:41,399
they're supposed to be. And then
you take it and you run it through

230
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,639
the tape machine one time. First
of all, you have to have a

231
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:48,279
tape machine from nineteen twenty five.
But you run it through the tape machine

232
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,360
and then as you do it,
you get one pass. And if you

233
00:14:52,440 --> 00:15:00,440
capture everything precisely, then you can
individually process them digitally and signify them as

234
00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:05,399
individual tracks, and then you can
mix them as individual tracks and then into

235
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,720
a compilation of tracks. So it's
a digital transfer. It's the highest quality

236
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,360
you can get, and it sounds
amazingly beautiful. So wow, yes,

237
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:16,360
we did it. We got the
process done. I had Don Docin helped.

238
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:18,960
We had all these songs, and
then all of a sudden I started

239
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:24,279
discovering there were these songs that I
had forgotten about that we'd never released.

240
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,639
Oh no way. So I was
like, well, this is amazing.

241
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:30,480
That was like a treasure treasure trove, treasure trove for you. Yeah,

242
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:33,360
it was beautiful. So and then
I start going through, oh well,

243
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,320
better start looking through my old videos
and all that kind of stuff. And

244
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,200
the next thing, you know,
is like, oh yeah, I remember

245
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,440
this one from nineteen eighty six when
I was working on Lost Boys and I

246
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,919
made a music video in my dad's
apartment. We should probably release that at

247
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:48,480
some point, right, yeah,
time, All this stuff that you know,

248
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:52,080
I'd kind of forgotten about fallen by
the way side, and I finally

249
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,759
put it out for the fans.
And so this disc is if the Box

250
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,919
I'm Sorry is a four disc set
with CDs, four CDs, two dv

251
00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:03,759
We made a documentary about the process
of making the album. The process of

252
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:08,639
making the collection, we put together
a fifty page color magazine that looks like

253
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:12,240
a teen magazine from the eighties.
Oh wow. We got everybody who's been

254
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:15,639
involved with my music from eighty six
to ninety three. Well everybody except lead

255
00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:19,399
a Ford. She was just too
busy for us and she couldn't do it.

256
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:23,080
What are you going to do?
We love lead It, I'm just

257
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:30,840
giving her something anyway, but no. So we had Michael Damien and Mickey

258
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:36,559
Thomas from Starship. You know,
wow, pipes, Oh my god.

259
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:40,120
So he's came back. He had
done Dream a Little Dream, the first

260
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,519
movie that I did music for,
and he sang the song dream a Little

261
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:48,720
Dream, and I had to dance
down the bleachers, lip syncing as if

262
00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:52,679
I was singing. But in those
days, I wasn't very strong of a

263
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,080
singer, so I was still learning. I was, you know, very

264
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,519
unsure. So I did record a
song with Michael Damien, who had the

265
00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:03,279
number one song on the soundtrack,
which was called rock on Yeah. And

266
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:10,680
remember that one, hey kiss rock
and bo rock bo exactly you got it,

267
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,599
yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Wow. So Michael and I

268
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,759
recorded a song during that time called
Something in Your Eyes, which became my

269
00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:21,000
first single, but they didn't put
it on the soundtrack album. So it

270
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:22,920
was like, Okay, I'm getting
it now. Now it's all kind of

271
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,119
coming together. This is an opportunity. I did like seven or eight film

272
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,279
soundtracks between eighty six and ninety three, but none of it ever came out

273
00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:33,200
on records, you know, it
was just in the movie. So I

274
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,880
was like, here's my chance to
give the fans everything they've been screaming for,

275
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,160
which is like all these songs from
the old movies and all these pictures

276
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,519
and videos and stuff from the process
of the making of it. We got

277
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:48,680
Mickey to come back and him and
I did a thirtieth anniversary song remake of

278
00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:53,920
Dream Little Dream, which is like
a killer rockin version, like we did

279
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,799
like a really really like almost a
punk version of it. Yeah, and

280
00:17:57,839 --> 00:18:00,559
I got Mickey to perform. I
produced it. So I got Mickey to

281
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,799
like, I was like, you
might have to grab your you know what.

282
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:08,480
Yeah, yeah, yeah, get
it up there. But but yeah,

283
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:11,680
sometimes you got to, you know, do what it takes to get

284
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,920
that note. But but I was, you know, he's seventy years old,

285
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,519
he's seven years old, and he
sounded like he was twenty. I

286
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:23,839
mean I was blown away. Sol
seventy seven, d oh, thank you.

287
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,000
I feel no no, no seven. I would talk about no no,

288
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,079
no, that's amazing. Yeah yeah, yeah, seventy years old and

289
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,480
he's still and he sounds like he's
twenty. Wow. Yeah, it's beautiful.

290
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,400
So we got him to do that. We then did this documentary.

291
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,599
We did interviews with him, with
Michael Damien, with all the people who

292
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,400
were part of it, and we
put together this film which kind of explains

293
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,160
everything I just told you. Because
a lot of people don't realize that I

294
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,400
was actually singing before I was even
acting. Wow, yeah, yeah,

295
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:59,319
that's wow. Where in the womb? Because you've been so what happened was?

296
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,880
It's a good question because a lot
of people don't understand that when you're

297
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,640
three years old, you can't really
memorize your lines, you can't really read

298
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,440
the script, you can't really know, you can't read the script work it

299
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,960
out with the other actors, right, So how do you how do you

300
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
get the part when you're three years
old? Well, I think you have

301
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:22,720
to be pretty cute, right exactly. So my mom figured out, well,

302
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,519
he may not be able to read
or write, but we've got to

303
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,240
find a way that they're gonna,
you know, notice him, and he's

304
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:32,680
gonna stand out from the rest.
And my dad was a singer and a

305
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:36,319
musician. My sister was in the
Mickey Mouse Club, singing and dancing every

306
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,559
day on stage at disney Land and
all that. So then I was like,

307
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,000
well, I like music. So
she said, okay, well here's

308
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,960
what we're gonna do. We're gonna
stick you in a room with a record

309
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,559
player and you're going to listen to
this record over and over and over until

310
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:51,519
you memorize every word of it.
Yeah, and then I want you to

311
00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:53,240
come out and sing it for me. And you know, once I did,

312
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,079
then she would take that. She
would put me into the rooms for

313
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,799
the castings, and I would go
to and I would sing and they would

314
00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:03,039
say, oh, look, how
cuteie is. You know it about the

315
00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:06,720
same way, you know, happy
Birthday? You got it? I got

316
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,960
it. And I was doing easy
songs like you know, put on a

317
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,319
happy face or or yeah yeah,
yeah, you know what was it?

318
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:18,640
Sunshine? Oh okay? And uh
and jung Food Junkie by Jim Grochi,

319
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,359
oh juf Ny. They love when
I did that one because I was like

320
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,119
this little kid talking about you know, I got twinkies in my closet and

321
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,880
oh wow that was perfect. Yeah
yeah yeah, oh you must have knocked

322
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,519
him out. Yeah. Well,
I got like one hundred commercials by the

323
00:20:32,519 --> 00:20:36,799
time I was eight. Yeah.
So but that's how I started. And

324
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,839
then and then back to Disney again. My first TV movie of the Week

325
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,119
or TV special, whatever you want
to call it, when I was about

326
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:47,480
five or six, was with Dick
Van Dyke and it was a musical and

327
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:49,680
we did it was called how do
you like a child, and there was

328
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,880
lots of musical numbers, so I
had to sing and dance with the greatest

329
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,200
of all time, you know,
Dick Van Dykes right off the bat.

330
00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:03,119
So yeah, that'll do it.
Wow, that is astonishing. He played

331
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,720
my dad because I do the character
Pete, you know, that big old

332
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:11,920
guy that's always messing with Mickey Bows. And we did a special it's got

333
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,720
to be maybe like ten years ago, and he came in and did a

334
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,640
cameo as Pete's dad. Oh cool, And I was thinking, yeah,

335
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,440
so Dick Van Dyke's my dad.
Okay, I can die happily. That's

336
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,720
pretty Yeah. And the crazy thing
I think he's actually old enough to be

337
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:30,960
your dad. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Well he's in his nineties.

338
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,039
Oh yeah, he's like ninety six
and he's still going, I know,

339
00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:37,720
God, this lesson you know what. I saw him at one of

340
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,240
these conventions about I'm saying about four
years ago, was right before the pandemic,

341
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:45,319
and we were in the elevator together. It was like, hey,

342
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:48,920
buddy, he remembered me. First
of all, that's crazy, right,

343
00:21:48,079 --> 00:21:52,200

I mean, come on, he's got

344
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,279

tell me something. What I said,

347
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:04,839
he's still dancing and he goes,
oh yeah, and he starts a little

348
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,680
soft shoe right there in the elevator, right. He goes, you gotta

349
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:11,799

stop. He goes, exactly, exactly.

352
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,559
How cool is that? God bless
him. I love him so much,

353
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,519
No kidding, well, I think
everybody does. He's like, yeah,

354
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:27,559
everybody's at least favorite uncle. Yeah
that you're not related to exactly,

355
00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:30,680
you know legend. I mean he's
like one of the last greats that we

356
00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:34,440
still Oh yeah, yeah, you're
right about that. And the performance he

357
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,880
did in the New Mary Poppins.
Did you see it? I haven't seen

358
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,799
that. I didn't see the movie, but I watched that. Just all

359
00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:45,440
you gotta do is YouTube watch his
scene, because wow, he's ninety one

360
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,599
or ninety two and he gets up
on the table and he's dancing. I

361
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:52,799
mean, it's crazy. Wow.
It said Joliola Day with Mary Yeah,

362
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:59,000
yeah, yep, Wow, that's
nuts. Well you've got a few stories

363
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,200
in you, h just a man, just used a few. I was

364
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:07,440
raised, you know, in a
very terrible environment. But to get away

365
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:14,079
from that terrible environment, my two
escapes were going to Neverland and the Playboy

366
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,759
Man you know, rotating yes too, like who can say that? Wow,

367
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:22,240
I'm pretty sure you're in a very
small club. Yeah, right,

368
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:25,119
very smart. I mean to go
to one of the places, I think

369
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,039
it's pretty rare. But to go
to both. Yeah, and it's not

370
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:33,519
like they're next door to each other
physically or mentally or spiritual, right,

371
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,920
exactly, two different realms, two
different realms. But I still went to

372
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:40,119
Yeah, I went to the Playboy
Manage in the first time when I was

373
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,079
fifteen years old. Wow. Yeah, and you thought you died and went

374
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,319
to heaven. You know what?
I didn't, because I was too young

375
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,400
to even appreciate the fact that there
were beautiful women everywhere. I was more

376
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:56,519
excited about, like Richard Pryor being
there and Dudley actually, yeah, especially

377
00:23:56,599 --> 00:23:59,720
Richard Pryor. I got to meet
Richard, I got to meet Dudley Moore,

378
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:03,279
all the great you know, Richard
Pryor is the king of the world.

379
00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:08,160
Oh, absolutely brilliant. Nobody there's
Richard Pryor, and then everybody else

380
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,720
can fight for second place, right, I mean? And you know,

381
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,359
also I got to work with and
meet, speaking of comedy legends, the

382
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:22,240
great Milton Burle. Yeah, get
out. Yeah. What was that We

383
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:26,200
did a show together. It was
in the early nineties. I think it

384
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:32,359
was called Burke's Law. Oh yeah, yeah, yea Jean Barry yeah yeah,

385
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,440
yeah yeah. And so we did
an episode where it was like all

386
00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:41,000
the old time comedians and I just
happened to be the nephew of the guy

387
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:45,519
who hired the one guy and like
happened to be connected. But it was

388
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:51,920
Henny Youngman, it was Milton Burrell, it was Ed McMahon uh man,

389
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,400
don't remember who the other two were, but it was five giant legends.

390
00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:59,640
Yeah, and I just got to
be there like cracking jokes with them all

391
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,640
every It was just wow, now
there's a memory for you. Yeah.

392
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,440
And then like a year or two
years later, I went to the comedy

393
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,799
store where I hung out all the
time because I was kind of raised also

394
00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:15,079
at the comedy store that was my
club hangout, which you know was because

395
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,079
of Sam Kinnison. I became friends
with Sam Kennison. Pauli Shore, who's

396
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,119
here this weekend. Yeah, he
was like a brother to me, and

397
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:26,440
we were both little brothers to Sam. So we were all like a little

398
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,720
family, a little click. And
I was there at the Comedy Store almost

399
00:25:29,759 --> 00:25:34,359
every night, and you know,
Eddie Murphy would be there, Richard Pryor

400
00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:38,039
and Face Clay, Jim Carrie,
like you know, all of them,

401
00:25:38,039 --> 00:25:41,799
they were all there. I mean, it was just the time. I

402
00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:44,559
think he's still on the side of
yeah yeah, yeah, well I think

403
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:51,599
Jay was actually buying the car next
door. But yeah, that's true at

404
00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:55,079
that Rolls Royce Steeler exactly putting it
on the roof or something like that.

405
00:25:55,559 --> 00:26:00,759
Jay's car is here today, but
yeah, I know. So anyway,

406
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:03,079
it was just, you know what
in a magical time. And I walk

407
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,279
in one night and there's Milton Burrel
on the stage and I was like,

408
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,039
I got to watch him do an
hour of comedy. I mean, who

409
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:15,519
can even say that, right,
Like that's alive right now, but yeah,

410
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,359
yeah, he he And he was
in the late nineties, I think,

411
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,680
but it was probably a year or
two before he died, and I'll

412
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,039
never forget one of his most genius
lines. He said, Yeah, I'm

413
00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:33,119
sorry if I smell, I just, I just I had Taco Bell today.

414
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,240
I gotta be honest. I had
Taco Bell and I have so much

415
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:45,160
gas. Arabs are following me wherever
I go. And he was just like

416
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,279
witty on it, like you know, he's like ninety something wherever he was,

417
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,519
and and and people were, you
know, rasing him from the audience,

418
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,359
and he's just singing him down,
just singing like so quick, so

419
00:26:56,519 --> 00:26:59,720
fast. I was like, wow, Yeah, that's that's a talent right

420
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,759
there. Legend. Man, oh
man, that's too bad you don't have

421
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:08,799
any cool stories. I know,
Right's amazing. I've been blessed. I've

422
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:14,680
gotten to meet every legend I've really
ever wanted to meet. There's nobody I

423
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,960
could think of. Well one person. There's one person that I missed that

424
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:22,599
I'm really sad I missed, which
was just what was a Jesus basically the

425
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:29,799
same thing, John Lennon. That
was close. Wow, no kidding.

426
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,519
And I'm sure you met the other
Beatles all three look at that. Yeah,

427
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,079
I knew I hated you. Okay, the closest I got. I

428
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,400
used to play rock and roll in
New Orleans and when I was a kid.

429
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:47,720
And and we actually any of the
boats. Oh yeah, on the

430
00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:52,000
President and the Admiral. Oh yeah, and thank you for bringing that up.

431
00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:56,839
My band it was called Fusion,
and I was a singer, and

432
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,839
we played on the the Admiral and
it was the biggest boat on the on

433
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,039
the water. And uh. And
we were just a cover band, you

434
00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:08,680
know. We were just doing you
know, like you're right stuff like yeah,

435
00:28:08,759 --> 00:28:11,799
oh well no, no, no, it was rock and roll,

436
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,519
but it was you know, so
anyway, No, it was a rock

437
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:18,440
and roll band and uh. And
we made it to like opening act.

438
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,920
We opened for Leonard Skinner and then
they got famous and then they never hung

439
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,440
around us any anymore. But we're
on the President. We're playing on this

440
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,039
boat and we broke the record for
we had five thousand and two people on

441
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:33,640
there. Wow, and and and
it was it was awesome. It was

442
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,960
like a three hour tour, but
not Gilligan's Island, you know. And

443
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,680
they would go back for yeah,
without the stranding. And we went back

444
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,279
and we were so full of ourselves
and everything. Then BB King played the

445
00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:49,039
next week they got six thousand,
and we went. I really wanted to

446
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:52,920
hold onto that record more than a
week to be beat out by BB King.

447
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,640
I think that. But I'm okay
with I'm okay with it. Yeah,

448
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,039
And that exactly the way we looked
at So what do you play?

449
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,799
Uh? Sing? Well, I
played drums. Oh you do drums too,

450
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,680
I know, yeah, I know. I actually think I lost my

451
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,400
We're looking around it like I just
happen to have a drums Yeah I do.

452
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:18,160
Well, I had sticks. I
always walk around with sticks. Yeah,

453
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,519
yeah, just to annoy my fellow. Yeah, just to just to

454
00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:26,640
piss people off. Yeah, me
too. Yeah, I can't help it.

455
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,039
It's just always yeah, same here, same here. It's all the

456
00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:34,039
stuff used to get me kicked out
of class. I made exactly, making

457
00:29:34,079 --> 00:29:37,240
all that noise. Yeah, the
nuns were not that crazy about me then.

458
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,039
But afterwards, when I did a
little some of you for the school

459
00:29:41,359 --> 00:29:44,920
and then I was to you,
it was okay, yeah, yeah,

460
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,640
it was fine. Well, see
I would have been like, give me

461
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,400
that rule, let me show you
something else I could do with it.

462
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,799
Yeah. Yeah, you know,
yeah, man, that's good stuff.

463
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,200
That's amazing. Well, I had
no idea that you had such a musical

464
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,599
background. Yeah, that's so cool. Yeah, well, you know,

465
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,079
I lucked out. I was very
fortunate. I'm I'm a fairly good mimic

466
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:08,039
and I'm a half decent singer sotto
voice. Oh yeah yeah. And then

467
00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:11,799
if you do it badly, then
they think it's you, so that works

468
00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:15,119
out. But no, I had
a I've got like I don't know,

469
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,759
lion King album. I think it
was seven times platinum, and I sing

470
00:30:21,799 --> 00:30:23,839
a song called be Prepared. Wow. Yeah, you're supposed to think it's

471
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,839
Jeremy Irons. Oh that was me. Wow, amazing. Yeah, and

472
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:33,240
you made a great job because I
did think it was Jeremy. Well that

473
00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:36,960
was the idea. Yeah yeah,
yeah, great imitation. Yeah. But

474
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,920
uh. And I was the lead
singer for the California Raisins. I don't

475
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,279
know if you remember them, Yes, of course, who I bet you

476
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:45,839
want him, you know, and
I was I was still white. Hard

477
00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:48,839
to believe, but yeah, how
did you pull that off? Yeah?

478
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,960
I don't know. That's something I
had to do with my parents, but

479
00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:56,200
uh, but yeah it was.
It was a lot of fun. And

480
00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:03,920
what else Pocahontas. I'm trying to
picture my wall Hunchback now anyway, Lion

481
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,160
King two and yeah, so it's
it's a lot of fun. It's amazing.

482
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:11,799
Yeah, you know, I would
imagine a lot of times. Yeah

483
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,720
yeah, Poo's got a lot of
a lot of songs, but they don't

484
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:19,880
go quite as big as line.
I've always wanted to do singing animation.

485
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:23,519
I would love to do more of
that. Actually, yeah, it's fun.

486
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,720
I did one I'll put it a
good word for you. Well,

487
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:33,079
thank you, sir, But no, I did one that was it was

488
00:31:33,119 --> 00:31:38,279
for Warner Brothers animation. It was
called The Scarecrow and it was a good

489
00:31:38,279 --> 00:31:41,119
one actually, and I sang I
played the mouse. I played a field

490
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,319
mouse that lived in his pocket.
Uh. And it was like there was

491
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:48,160
like three or four songs in that
one. So I got to do.

492
00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:52,599
You know, I love singing in
character. It's so much fun. Oh

493
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,559
oh my god, I love it. I agree. And if you listen

494
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,880
to my music, like on my
albums, no two songs sound the same.

495
00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:02,319
There's always a different character that comes
out depending on what we're talking about,

496
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,160
what the theme is or what you
know, sure the material, but

497
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,799
the point is that there's always I
try to bring like a new voice,

498
00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:13,920
a new character, something new to
song, so it doesn't sound like the

499
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,000
same guy over and over and over
again. Wow, yeah, that's not

500
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,039
bad. Well, you know,
I mean all the greats, right,

501
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,279
the people that I look up to
the most vocally, Michael Jackson obviously I

502
00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:27,599
was going to ask you who are
your favorites? Both. Yeah, Michael

503
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,079
is come on, because he can
get the highest high you can do.

504
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:34,519
It's got that growl and that you
know, yeah some meat to it.

505
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,160
And McCartney, I mean, to
me, McCartney has the greatest rock and

506
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:42,319
roll voice in the history of rock
and roll because he gets that growl,

507
00:32:42,559 --> 00:32:45,119
get he can get, he can
get pretty right, and he can get

508
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,000
long, pretty, you know,
lovely really Oh yeah, snow Bud,

509
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,519
snow Bud. It's so yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Well there's the other

510
00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:58,839
one. Oh, I suppose you
could do Joe, you know, Oh,

511
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,640
I think you could. I think
we could go old day, we

512
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,839
could have a bit, we could
go all day. And one of my

513
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,640
favorite is, that's not your grandfather. I've seen your grandfather. Your grandfather

514
00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:13,240
lives in your house. That was
That was George Harrison from Hard Day's Night.

515
00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:16,720
I think right right, Yeah,
I remember that that's right, grandfather

516
00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:24,240
that told it was that little old
man. Then when then, right,

517
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:29,480
hello, great, that's so good. I'd sit there and do conversations.

518
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:31,240
There's all four of them. Oh
yeah, yeah, that's good. That's

519
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,559
one of my things. That's why
when I was doing stand up for a

520
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,240
while before I got into live meeting. Of course you did, no,

521
00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:43,759
But I started when I was again
fourteen fifteen, uh doing you know,

522
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,720
Comedy Store and catch a Rising Star
in New York and like that. In

523
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,079
fact, my first mainstream headline show
in New York doing comedy. You're gonna

524
00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:59,920
love this one so nice. It
was for the Lost Boys premiere and I

525
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,839
was out there doing press and then
I'd mentioned that I'd been at the Comedy

526
00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:06,640
Store and doing some stand up and
blah blah blah. But it was mostly

527
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,960
just kind of jumping up with Sam
or doing bits of improv and you know,

528
00:34:09,039 --> 00:34:12,239
maybe a little thing here and there. But it wasn't like, oh,

529
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,800
here's your spot, you know.
So the first time I had a

530
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:21,000
real spot. And of course,
my publicist informs the media that I'm going

531
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:23,480
to be doing this, so ABC
News that comes down to cover it,

532
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:31,440
and I'm at Catching Rising Star and
they put me right between Dennis Miller and

533
00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:37,880
Rodney Dangerfield. Now that's not too
much pressure, is it? Perfect?

534
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,559
Right? Exactly like I am the
new kid. Yeah yeah, yeah,

535
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:47,039
right, everybody's looking at their watch. Yeah you got a joke. Yeah.

536
00:34:47,079 --> 00:34:51,599
So that was fun. And I
think I had family there too,

537
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:53,159
because the whole thing was just like
way too much pressure. It was way

538
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,719
too much. And Dennis was like, hey, great job, kid,

539
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,159
Yeah, I got some jokes for
you if you want them, give me

540
00:34:59,159 --> 00:35:05,199
a car, gave me a cow, babe. Yeah yeah, all right,

541
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,480
buddy. I do love Dnis Miller. I have to say you do.

542
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,960
Yeah, he's pretty sarcastic. I
just his comedy. It's comedy,

543
00:35:12,039 --> 00:35:16,239
funny personality. Oh well sorry,
buddy, Yeah, what are you gonna

544
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:23,679
do? Not all charming? Yeah, I believe that said Rodney was was

545
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,880
very funny, very good guy.
Yeah. So I was very honored be

546
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,039
both geniuses, right, yeah.
I was very honored to be there,

547
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:34,360
but very nervous, as you can
imagine. Oh god, yes, yeah,

548
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,360
that would do it. I remember
I met Rodney Dangerfield. He was

549
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,079
at an old place called B and
B Sound when he was doing a Rover

550
00:35:40,199 --> 00:35:45,239
Dangerfield. He decided he was gonna
do animation, all right, you know,

551
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,639
And I tell you, I you
and he went in and he and

552
00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:54,360
and the damnedest thing he they had
a riser for the stage to record,

553
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,880
and why I don't know, but
he would go in and he would take

554
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,440
off all of his clothes, not
all of them. He'd leave his underground

555
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:07,039
and hang him up on a rack
there and then put on you the wife

556
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:13,960
beater, right yeah, Josh,
yeah. And he would he would he

557
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,320
would put on his robe and he
goes, okay, let's do this all

558
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,039
right, you know, and then
he would sit down and then he then

559
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:22,559
he could record v oh yeah,
because he didn't have his he was in

560
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:27,519
his robe. I was thinking,
sure he was an odd duck. Yeah

561
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:30,880
yeah, yeah, yeah, wow, you know, and a poor guy.

562
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,559
I took him like forever. I
think he was finally got famous when

563
00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:37,480
he's like fifty eight. Yeah,
I mean he was a trooper When I

564
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:40,880
was a little kid, I mean
I'm talking six years old, seven years

565
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,199
old. I remember, I was
such a big fan of Rodney Dangerfield.

566
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,480
I actually made an animated book because
I had this little book of like his

567
00:36:50,639 --> 00:36:53,480
jokes or something. So I made
this little animated book where I like would

568
00:36:53,559 --> 00:36:58,880
draw drawings of him making different faces
as he's doing different jokes, and then

569
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,280
I would put the joke coming out
of his mouth. Yeah. So I

570
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,400
was a pretty huge fan of his
comedy very early. Wow, yeah you

571
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,480
were. I loved comedy. So
anyways, I guess it was the point

572
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:14,000
of that story was when I did
the performance in those days, what my

573
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,960
my bit was is I didn't have
great jokes. I still don't have great

574
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:22,440
jokes. Thank you, You're welcome. But anyway, there was you know,

575
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,079
I would go back and forth between
voices, and so I would do

576
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:30,000
this bit which kind of became my
famous bit. I guess if there was

577
00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:35,880
one was wash me as Walter Cronkite. This this dates it, but it

578
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:42,920
was me as Walter Cronkite interviewing Ronald
Ronald Reagan, Muhammad Ali and Michael J.

579
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:45,400
Fox. I think, you know, wow, so I would have

580
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:51,199
these three very different Yeah, I
know they're very similar, but no,

581
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,679
but that's the point, right,
is you want three different textures, completely

582
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:59,519
personalities so far apart from each other, and then have like that that balance

583
00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:02,559
of the other right, right.
So that was the bit, and and

584
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,039
it was fun and I you know, I've always and maybe it's probably because

585
00:38:07,039 --> 00:38:09,360
I'm a bit crazy, and you
know, I, like you said,

586
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,119
I've got all those voices going on
in my head all the time. So

587
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:15,280
it's kind of how I hear it. You know, they're arguing or they're

588
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,599
whatever, you know, So I
just do that, you know. Yeah,

589
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:22,599
wow, that's amazing. Yeah,
because I've got those same voices.

590
00:38:22,639 --> 00:38:25,119
I have the same similar problem.
Yeah, sometimes you just break into a

591
00:38:25,199 --> 00:38:28,920
voice and you're not trying to You're
just walking around, Hey, ma'am,

592
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,440
how you doing? Go to sleep
every there? Yeah, you know or

593
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,519
whatever, you know, like,
yeah, what's that baby? Yeah,

594
00:38:32,559 --> 00:38:35,840
let's go a little you know what
I mean? You can't Oh yeah,

595
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,800
he's there all the time. Like
Charles Fleischer, he never stops, right.

596
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,480
I don't know if you know Charles, but like literally yeah, but

597
00:38:40,559 --> 00:38:44,760
he's always like he talks that.
He's like, yo, baby, what's

598
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,000
going on? And you think he
like actually talks like that. He's like,

599
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:49,239
no, I don't talk like that. I just do that sometimes.

600
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:55,119
Yeah. Yeah, okaya, police, yeah, yeah, you and you

601
00:38:55,119 --> 00:39:00,519
do a great Roger right bit.
Yeah, but I was in your rabbit,

602
00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:02,400
Oh I was that was the first, that was first movie I was

603
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:07,719
ever ever. No, I was. I'll tell you what I was.

604
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:14,280
I was Bullet number two. Oh
there was. If you remember, I

605
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,280
was sitting there waiting, look at
you, that's me. That's me.

606
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:21,679
And you know what I liked.
I was right before it said bullet number

607
00:39:21,679 --> 00:39:25,360
two Jim Cummings singing blah blah blah
Frank Sinatra, and I went, I

608
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,599
I've made it above Frank Sinatra,
right, you know. And I went

609
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:32,679
home and I called my folks.
I said, you got to go see

610
00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:38,119
this movie. Uh. He couldn't
have cared. I have no idea.

611
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,920
Yeah, hey, listen like that. I got news for you, kid,

612
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,639
Yeah, you're gonna be below me
from now on. Yeah, happened.

613
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:52,719
And again that's that. Who was
you know that famous Schecky Green story?

614
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,400
Which one do you know that?
Yeah? Which one? Well,

615
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:04,079
he opened for Frank and uh,
you got four minutes, kid, And

616
00:40:04,119 --> 00:40:06,519
so he was out there, Oh
you got it, Frank, you got

617
00:40:06,519 --> 00:40:08,239
it, And he went and he
was crushing it, and four minutes rolled

618
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,760
around and he and he let it
go to like almost five. Oh wow.

619
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:19,639
Yeah see. And then next night
time Jilly Jully was was this guy

620
00:40:17,199 --> 00:40:23,159
ist him. I didn't. I
didn't either, but but you know,

621
00:40:23,199 --> 00:40:27,920
he used to tell the story.
And the next night he was really killing

622
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,000
it. He went over five minutes, you know, and Frank gave him

623
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:36,199
four. And so the third night
he did it and he went out the

624
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,840
backstage. He was just milking it
a little bit longer. Yeah, night,

625
00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:43,159
what can I get away with tonight? Exactly? And and they,

626
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,159
well, he found out what he
could get away with. He walked out

627
00:40:46,159 --> 00:40:50,800
of the stage door, getting heading
over to his car. A couple of

628
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,960
guys jumping beat the ship out of
him, pardon my French. And then

629
00:40:54,039 --> 00:41:00,960
he's laying there the hell's going on? Cart lights comes rolling up, stops

630
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:08,679
right here, the window rolls down
four minutes. Wow, And then that's

631
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:14,719
the story and they reverse back down. I mean it's like, okay,

632
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,960
I'd be like, I'm good,
bro, think I need to do this

633
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:24,320
gig anymore? You know what I
mean? Like, yeah, so that's

634
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,320
it could be apocryphal, as they
say, man, Frank, Frank,

635
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,920
it's not the way to treat your
homies. Yeah, well I guess he

636
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:38,559
took the first punch. Yeah,
well, there you go four minutes.

637
00:41:38,599 --> 00:41:42,239
Did he really? That's what I
heard he jumped out and took the first

638
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,760
one. No he no, he
didn't know. I meant by going over

639
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,400
four minutes. Oh right, right, yeah, that's what are you gonna

640
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,199
do? I mean, how dare
you? Yeah? Right? Oh,

641
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,360
I know is you can't out if
that ever happened to me. You know,

642
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:57,480
during a live performance, I got
off stage and you know, the

643
00:41:57,519 --> 00:41:59,840
guy I was opening for, it
was like, how dare you go?

644
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,920
Yeah? Okay, buddy, I
think you're taking this a little seriously.

645
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,039
Yeah yeah, but they were warmed
up. The audience was anyway, yeah,

646
00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:09,840
I guess so. Well not the
fourth night, but that's all right.

647
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,480
The fourth night he was singing like
Rocky, Yeah, that's pretty good.

648
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,079
You know. You know, you
know all week I'm going anywhere.

649
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:28,360
Okay. Well, basically that was
my character in The Lost Boys. It

650
00:42:28,519 --> 00:42:32,039
was just a rip off of Stalloon, Okay. I mean it wasn't a

651
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:35,840
director off because I took a little
bit of stallone and a little bit of

652
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,239
Chuck Norris and a little bit of
Bruce Lee. No, it was kidding,

653
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,639
I mean it was I was literally
told by the director, you got

654
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,719
to study these films and create a
kind of Uni guy, you know,

655
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,719
take like three of these characters and
then mix them all together. Uh what

656
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:58,719
was the other one, Chuck Norris? Uh not really because squirts nigger.

657
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,840
You know, I bid bo I'll
be back. Yeah that didn't really work,

658
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,880
but it was, you know,
but the whole idea of the presence,

659
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,079
the you know, tough guy macho. Yeah. Yeah, so you

660
00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:12,159
know, but it was it was
mostly still, you know, and it

661
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,000
was like, hey, we've been
here all week, you know what I'm

662
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,719
saying, We're gonna do this thing. So I go over to his house.

663
00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:22,320
Uh still yeah wow, And uh, you know, I didn't know

664
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,559
if he knew or if he saw
it or anything. But I walk in

665
00:43:25,639 --> 00:43:30,679
and he's got this giant statue of
Rocky. Hard to believe, I know,

666
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,360
imagine that because he's such a humble
guy. Yeah, I was thinking

667
00:43:34,639 --> 00:43:38,800
he's known for his humility. Yeah, I got a great slow I gotta

668
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,440
tell you this story right now.
You got me started on stallone. Oh,

669
00:43:42,519 --> 00:43:45,960
here we go. Okay, it's
a funny one. My god,

670
00:43:46,199 --> 00:43:50,400
I've never told this publicly, so
this is for you. Here you go.

671
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,280
Uh and stallone will probably laugh actually, but you know, yeah,

672
00:43:54,719 --> 00:44:00,679
otherwise I have a knuckle sandwich but
so I go to his house. My

673
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,639
friend Brian James brought me there.
He's no longer with us, Rest in

674
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,599
peace. Brian was a great character
actor. I don't know if you know

675
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:13,519
his work, but he was in
a Blade Runner and Tango and Cash Oh

676
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,400
yeah, forty eight hours and everything. Yeah, I know you're talking about

677
00:44:16,639 --> 00:44:21,079
so anyway, so he brings me
over. Yeah, and you know,

678
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,519
Staaloone's not there at first. We
walk in, we see the statue,

679
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,159
We kind of come into the it's
in Malibu. We come in, there's

680
00:44:27,199 --> 00:44:30,199
this beautiful kitchen. We're just kind
of looking around the house, like really

681
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,119
nice. Where's Sly at? You
know, Oh, he'll be down in

682
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:36,440
a minute. He's with his messouse
upstairs. He's coming down. You know,

683
00:44:36,599 --> 00:44:38,800
okay, great, we'll wait here. And a few minutes later,

684
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:43,280
you know, Sly appears at the
top of the stairs. He's got this

685
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,960
white robe on. He's got this
little Asian lady and she's in like a

686
00:44:46,079 --> 00:44:52,519
little martial arts type outfit and she's
the you know, the Vietnamese messuse or

687
00:44:52,599 --> 00:44:55,719
whatever. And so you know,
he's like, oh, hey, hey,

688
00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:00,079
how you doing days for call me? I is getting a little health

689
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:02,679
going. You know, like,
oh, yeah, no problem, thanks

690
00:45:02,679 --> 00:45:06,320
for having us. We appreciate it. You know, I love your statue.

691
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:07,480
It's really nice. Oh yeah you
like that? Yeah? Yeah,

692
00:45:08,039 --> 00:45:13,320
hey, were you You did me
right? I was like, I haven't

693
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,320
done you, no, sir,
no, no. I mean like,

694
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,719
you know in the movie, you
know you did a character right, yes,

695
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,480
yes, yes, yeah that wasn't
me, that was Barbie Benn And

696
00:45:21,519 --> 00:45:25,960
I think, yeah yeah, but
I was like, oh well yeah,

697
00:45:27,039 --> 00:45:29,960
yeah, well I did. I
did. Actually I didn't know if you

698
00:45:30,119 --> 00:45:30,920
were aware of that. He's like, hey, it was pretty good.

699
00:45:31,039 --> 00:45:35,079
It was pretty good. You know. I was like thanks. Uh so.

700
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,920
So he then sits down in this
director's chair. This is all true,

701
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,639
sits down in this director's chair,
and then the little Asian lady goes

702
00:45:43,679 --> 00:45:45,960
over to his kitchen counter and she
takes some lemons and she starts slicing these

703
00:45:46,079 --> 00:45:52,320
lemons, and he's like this.
You know, you're not gonna believe this,

704
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:58,079
but it's great. You love this
new Chinese ancient medicine type thing.

705
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,440
But you know, I like it
was the new ancient. It's not comfortable.

706
00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:06,079
It's not comfortable. You're gonna have
to wait for a minute. I

707
00:46:06,119 --> 00:46:07,480
gotta do this. You know,
We're like, okay, whatever, you

708
00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:10,239
know, we'll sit here and wait. So he like leans his head back

709
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:15,599
in this director's chair, and the
woman takes the two slices of the cut

710
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,480
lemon that's split in half, and
she starts squeezing them into his eyeballs,

711
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:29,000
to his eyeballs, eyeballs. Lemons
was his nose busy erectly into his eyeballs,

712
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,000
and like, I'm just sitting there
in horror. I'm in shock.

713
00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:36,800
I'm like, who the hell does
he really is? Rambo? Oh my

714
00:46:37,079 --> 00:46:39,559
god? Yeah, yeah, no, what kind of an iron man comes

715
00:46:39,679 --> 00:46:45,679
downstairs and puts Lemons in his eyeballs? So, you know, he's just

716
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,480
it was like cheers, yeah,
God, You're like god, you know,

717
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,800
and I'm like, whoa, you're
kidding and so and so he finishes

718
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,280
and then we just you know,
have normal rest of the day. And

719
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,039
I said, what was that about. It's a great technique. You know,

720
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,639
I learned about it because you know, ever since I've been you know,

721
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,400
working out and doing these movies.
You know, I got a little

722
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,079
tough all the time. You know, the eyes get bloodshy, you know.

723
00:47:10,679 --> 00:47:15,280
So what it does, ironically,
is it clears out the eyeballs,

724
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:20,079
you know, so it takes away
that that that yellow mucisi stuff, you

725
00:47:20,159 --> 00:47:22,280
know, it makes it nice and
clear. Oh that's good. Yeah.

726
00:47:22,559 --> 00:47:24,639
So I was like, oh,
okay, well that's cool. I understand.

727
00:47:24,679 --> 00:47:29,440
I mean, no pain, no
gain, you know. So that

728
00:47:29,599 --> 00:47:30,400
was it, and then you know, we had our nice time and we

729
00:47:30,519 --> 00:47:37,079
left. Thirty years later, I'm
at your Seppie Franco salon in Beverly Hills

730
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,400
and justet these good friends with him
and Schwartz. Yeah, and you know,

731
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:45,559
everybody goes there and I'm at the
counter and I feel a tap on

732
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:49,119
the back of my joy and here's
the voice, Hey, old Corey,

733
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:52,960
are you doing. I'm like,
oh, hey, sly that's going on.

734
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,760
He's like, hey, let me
tell you. It's really good to

735
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,039
see you. Man. I'm glad
you're doing all right. You look great.

736
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:00,079
I don't know what you're doing.
I don't know what your secret is.

737
00:48:00,119 --> 00:48:02,440
Be look great. I was like, thank you, I appreciate it.

738
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:07,079
You look great too. Maybe it's
from the lemons that you were squeezing

739
00:48:07,159 --> 00:48:10,519
in your eyes the last time I
saw you. And he goes, oh,

740
00:48:10,599 --> 00:48:15,320
you know what a funny story about
that. I said, really,

741
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,920
Yeah, I said, what is
that? He goes you won't believe it,

742
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:27,880
but uh, it turns out it
wasn't true. I'm like, what,

743
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,280
it didn't work at all? Didn't
at all? It didn't work at

744
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:38,719
all. Good way to find that
out, Good way to find that out.

745
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,920
Yeah, but at least I don't
have glaucoma right up by glackcoma.

746
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,360
It could have been worse. Wow, it didn't work. Still kidding,

747
00:48:46,559 --> 00:48:50,320
real like you were in any danger, Like you've been doing it all along,

748
00:48:50,519 --> 00:48:53,519
right now, you're gonna tell me. Yeah, after all those lemons

749
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,159
put in my eyes, I went, I went through a lemon grove right

750
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,039
exactly. I started growing him in
my backyard just so I could be more

751
00:49:01,199 --> 00:49:07,599
like you. Oh my god,
how long did that take? You know

752
00:49:07,639 --> 00:49:12,599
what I mean? Yeah? That's
knucking fats oh man. So so what's

753
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,760
next for you? Well, we're
going on tour again. Yeah, we're

754
00:49:16,119 --> 00:49:20,239
actually heading out in September. We're
going to be all over the country and

755
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,960
then on my first US World tour, very exciting, and then I mean,

756
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,280
I'm sorry, first world tour after
the US tour, which is very

757
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:34,239
exciting. I've done like ten twelve
tours of the US through my lifetime.

758
00:49:34,519 --> 00:49:37,760
But this will be my first ever
international tour. I've never actually done a

759
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:42,960
full tour outside of the US.
Wow. So we're going to hit like

760
00:49:43,119 --> 00:49:46,280
England, We're gonna hit the UK, We're gonna hit Europe, We're gonna

761
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:53,760
hit Asia, Australia, Canada.
So Earth rightly coming to an earth near

762
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,679
you in America. You know that's
the idea. He's coming to an earth

763
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,480
near you. That's pretty good.
Nice. Finally, oh man, he's

764
00:50:00,559 --> 00:50:09,000
landing running underneath oh man. But
anyway, congratulations, exciting. And then

765
00:50:09,039 --> 00:50:14,480
the other really exciting thing is that
we just announced the release of my very

766
00:50:14,599 --> 00:50:19,840
own Funko pop. You know,
funkos. I'm sure that's probably signed a

767
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,000
billion of them, right, Oh
excuse me. Yes, But that's when

768
00:50:22,039 --> 00:50:24,880
you know you made it because I
have a bunch of Funko pops. But

769
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,400
it's a Pooh and Tigger and Dark
Wing Duck and task as do I.

770
00:50:30,079 --> 00:50:36,159
You have your own fop of you
Ger and Mouth and Donna Tello and I'm

771
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,079
sure Fox, Yeah, sure,
Yes, it's a big honor. Wow.

772
00:50:39,159 --> 00:50:45,199
Making Corey Fellman exclusive Funko pop is
a beautiful so nice. I love

773
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:50,840
them. First of all, the
owners of the company, greatest people in

774
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,800
the world. Oh that's cool.
Yeah. Mike, the guy who actually

775
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:58,519
created it. They call him fun
Maker Mike. Amazing guy. He's so

776
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,599
brilliant, so great. He's like
Lily Wonka. He's like, oh wow,

777
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:07,400
that's why he's just he's got this
factor song for himself. He probably

778
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:12,599
and he's a musician. Yeah,
well, big surprise, So there you

779
00:51:12,679 --> 00:51:16,760
go. Yeah, that's right.
Yeah. So anyway, he started making

780
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:21,119
these things in his garage. He's
good friends with the guy that I'm sure

781
00:51:21,159 --> 00:51:23,800
you know by the name of Bob
Gerr. Yes, he was one of

782
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:30,679
the original imagineers, no kidd that
Walt personally hired. And we got to

783
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:37,599
have dinner with grand old man,
right, yes, and he's the only

784
00:51:37,639 --> 00:51:40,719
one left and we got to have
dinner with him at the original Bob's Big

785
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:46,079
Boy and right well yeah, and
he was telling us all the stories about

786
00:51:46,119 --> 00:51:52,119
how when they made Bambi, they
brought all these animals into the office and

787
00:51:52,199 --> 00:51:54,639
they would sit there and like,
study the animals. That's what Walt said,

788
00:51:54,679 --> 00:51:59,199
I want you to study these animals, learn their mannerisms, learn how

789
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,639
they react. Yeah, you know, just watch them all day, every

790
00:52:01,679 --> 00:52:05,199
day and that was their job.
They would put a deer in the middle

791
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,800
of the floor and they would just
sit there and watch them. That's amazing,

792
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,559
you know they you know I from
working on Lion King, I knew

793
00:52:10,559 --> 00:52:16,119
a lot of the illustrators and uh. And they went to Africa. Yeah,

794
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:21,679
they went to Africa hung around and
if you see poomba, Poomba is

795
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,960
the one that cracks you up because
as it happened, I went to Africa,

796
00:52:24,679 --> 00:52:30,000
like I don't know, I spent
a month in Africa, maybe the

797
00:52:30,159 --> 00:52:36,239
year before we made Lion King.
And and they they captured the thing that

798
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:42,039
they really captured best was the war
hog and the macaw, you know who.

799
00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:45,360
The way they flew and the way
they ran with their butts up in

800
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:46,400
the air and their tails open.
There I go, oh my god,

801
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,599
oh my god, I saw a
lion King and they go, they really

802
00:52:49,679 --> 00:52:53,440
do do that, and they really
exactly know And it was the magic of

803
00:52:53,519 --> 00:52:57,880
Disney. And literally is the magic
of Disney. Yeah, to pay attention

804
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,280
to those kinds of details. It
is so literally is I love it?

805
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:05,079
Like man, I mean Fox and
the Hound. I'm in the movie right,

806
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,079
I've seen it twenty times. I
still cry every time. Yeah,

807
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,800
and that's crazy. I don't cry
when I watch stand by Me. Yeah,

808
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,199
yeah, you know what I mean. I don't cry when I watch

809
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:20,920
my other movies. But I watched
the watch that Wow, And even though

810
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,519
I know what's gonna happen, I
still I get that with Christopher Robin,

811
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:29,840
yeah you know. And and it's
but it's not And it's just because it's

812
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,519
so sweet and so sentimental. Yeah. You know, I don't know anybody

813
00:53:32,639 --> 00:53:36,920
that gets through that movie without a
tear in their eye. Right, So

814
00:53:37,159 --> 00:53:40,840
the color purple, right, yeah, yeah, you can't watch that movie

815
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:45,559
and not cry. Yeah. Oh, just so deep and riveting and like

816
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:49,599
power great. Yeah, well you
know I love Down Yeah, I love

817
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,639
I love I love any movie that
gives you that feeling of like, even

818
00:53:52,679 --> 00:53:55,599
if it's a painful feeling, but
it's that connection. You know, you

819
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,559
get that inspiration from it. It
moves you. I mean, that's that's

820
00:53:59,599 --> 00:54:02,519
the whole secret to art. Right, Yet is getting some kind of reaction.

821
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,480
Yeah, so whether it's positive or
negative, you know, people will

822
00:54:07,519 --> 00:54:08,679
say, oh, well, you
know, you got too much crap for

823
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,079
this performance, or you got too
much of it, and it's like no,

824
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,920
as long as it's about the art. Art is objective, so you

825
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,000
know the way I look at it, Whether you love my art or whether

826
00:54:19,039 --> 00:54:22,119
you hate my art. At least
if you hate it, I'm still getting

827
00:54:22,119 --> 00:54:24,719
a reaction, you know, because
the worst thing that you could do is

828
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:29,360
put something out and have people not
notice or not care. I'd much rather

829
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,000
that they, you know, are
adamantly against it or adamantly for it.

830
00:54:32,079 --> 00:54:36,599
But they're Yeah, so they've listened
to it five times to say how much

831
00:54:36,679 --> 00:54:38,639
they hate you. Yes, that's
right. Yeah, nothing wrong with that.

832
00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:45,599
Keep buying tickets exactly. That keeps
us enough, It keeps us employed

833
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:50,039
so you don't have to go out
and you know, bad groceries or whatever.

834
00:54:50,119 --> 00:54:52,440
Yeah, no kidding. Yeah,
that's beautiful man. Well, thank
