4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: a number of reasons. One because everybody's packing up here,

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: and because the idea that everybody gets to be a

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: voice over actor is really exciting to me. Um. So

7

00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,320

71
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: lay yes, yeah, um, but no, I had no idea

72
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: that I was going to do this. I really even

73
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: think it was a viable job. And neither did my parents.

74
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: Uh and and they still didn't for many, many years

75
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: until I brought them to some convention and I was

76
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: on stage and my dad was asking my sister why

77
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: all these people were there because they're not there to

78
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: see him? Are there? She said, yeah, Dad, shut up

79
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: and watch. It was great. Um, but I did it

80
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: for fun. I did just did it for fun. For

81
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: years and years and years, I was playing in an

82
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: R and B band, and that's what I wanted to do.

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: So you wanted to be a musician, you want You

84
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: didn't want to be an actor? At all, Not at all.

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: I hated the whole idea of acting. I worked at

86
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: a film studio for my day job, and everybody at

87
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the studio wanted to be an actor. And the head

88
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: of the mail room where I was working, his name

89
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: was Victor Garcia. He was casting a japanimation program and

90
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: he just needed bodies in the room to audition for

91
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: this thing. Nobody knew how to do it back then,

92
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: and he knew that I had the deepest voice in

93
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: the mail room and he needed somebody could roar, which

94
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: I did all the time. So he brought me into

95
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: a studio on the weekend. And the only reason I

96
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: showed up is because it gave me free pizza. Are

97
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: you kidding me? That's literally the only reason I showed up.

98
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: I had no intention, I had no desire to do

99
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: this stuff, but once I saw what they were doing,

100
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, this is kind of fun. And how

101
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: old are you at this point. I was in my twenties.

102
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: I guess I'll probably late twenties, maybe early thirties, something

103
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: like that, So this might be a first on I

104
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: hear voices because normally the guests that we have on

105
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: are like, oh, I never I didn't think I was

106
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: going to be a voice over actor. I thought I

107
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: was just going to be a regular actor, or I

108
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: was going to be on camera, And you no desire

109
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: to be an actor. I'm no desire. I didn't even

110
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: know I was acting until many, many years later we

111
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: did Cowboy Bebop. And seriously, I didn't know. I didn't know.

112
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: I just did it because it was fun. I went

113
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: even know I was acting. I swear I would go

114
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: into the studio and I'd be the idiot whould just

115
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: be going up to the microphone, going and I could

116
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: do that, and I could match the movements on screen.

117
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: But I didn't know that that was considered to be acting.

118
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: And then it wasn't until later on we did Cowboy

119
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: beeB Up. Nobody really cared it first, and then finally

120
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: years later Mary Elizabeth, Mary Elizabeth mcglint and my wife

121
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: who directed Cowboy Bebop wife, his D and D wife.

122
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: So let's let's be let's be honest. It's a thing. Yeah,

123
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a triad going on, but

124
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: mostly there. Um. Yeah, they're actually in love. I have

125
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: to roll for love. It's a big does he does,

126
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: but he always rolls twenties every single time loaded Loaded

127
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: Fredell Dice for Dice, we're hashtagging that. We're also hashtagging

128
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know I was acting, which is the T

129
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: shirt that I want to get. It's true. It's really true. Though.

130
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: So we were sitting on a stage not unlike this,

131
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: with a whole bunch of people doing some panel about Bebop,

132
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: and everybody on the stage was a trained actor. They

133
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: had all gone to school for it. They've done theater,

134
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: they've done film, and so it came to me and

135
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: they were talking about our origin stories, and I said, well,

136
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm not really an actor. I just kind of fell

137
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: into this accidentally, and I don't know what I'm doing.

138
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: And Mary just goes stop, She goes, what the hell

139
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: do you think you've been doing for the last ten years,

140
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: you idiot, And that was the beginning of our relationship.

141
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: It was, oh my god, it was amazing. So I

142
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: didn't I really, it didn't occur to me that voice

143
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: acting was acting until much later on. Wow. Yeah, And

144
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: I just did because it was fun. It was the

145
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: only thing I really enjoyed doing everything else in my life.

146
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: So apparently the band wasn't any good. No, the band

147
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: wasn't good. I was the only one with the job,

148
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: so I had to It was all paid to play

149
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: back then we were playing the Troubadour in the rocks

150
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: in all those places, but we had to pay in advance.

151
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: We had to buy all the tickets in advance and

152
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: then try to sell them, and we go door to

153
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: door selling the tickets. But I was the guy who

154
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: had to put up all the money. I had the truck,

155
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: so I had to haul all the equipment. It was.

156
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: It was terrible, and it's just terrible. Our music wasn't

157
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: really good. Were the only R and B band in

158
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: talent at that time, was all hair and heavy metal band.

159
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: So we got our our equipment sabotaged, and people hated

160
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: us because we had a better job, because we were

161
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: better at knocking on doors. It was ridiculous. It was

162
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: fun when we were on stage, but that was the

163
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: only time. So glad I gave it up. How many

164
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: of the first projects that you did were just like noises,

165
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: like you just said, like you kind of were just call, well,

166
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: here's some pizza. Actually I've done that. I'm pretty much

167
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: every job, but that very first job, it was called

168
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: the Geiver. It was a japanimation program and anime back then,

169
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: and I came in doing creature voices at first, but

170
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: I was able to match the lip flaps and and

171
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: I showed up, and so they eventually gave me showed up,

172
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: They gave me speaking roles, and I ended up playing

173
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: the main bad guy on that show. Did you love

174
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: it right away even though you didn't know you're acting?

175
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy what you were doing? Okay? I thought,

176
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: oh my god, people get paid for this. Besides the pizza.

177
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: They actually they actually paid us by the line. They

178
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: paid us even dollars a line back then, which is,

179
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: so you want to be the lead in the thing. Yeah, yeah,

180
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: oh man, I didn't have to memorize anything, which is

181
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: that's still a mystery to me. I don't know how

182
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: he does this. I don't know how any on camera

183
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: actor or theater person does that. I have no memory

184
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: for that sort of thing. So if I if I

185
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: see a line, I can I can hold on to

186
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: it for a couple of seconds, and then I have

187
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: to spit it out and get rid of it, which

188
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: is so odd because when we play D and D,

189
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: you remember everything, like our whole campaign stuff. You were

190
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: doing really opious notes, did you okay, cope, you faked

191
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: that really well? Because I'm at I was gonna say,

192
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: much like the start of your career, you faked that

193
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: very well. So okay, So then you're you're you were

194
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: in again Japanimation. We're doing that because it's since become

195
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: anime and we're going to get into how anime is exploded. Um,

196
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: when your first real Western style animation, did you jump

197
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: into superhero stuff or was it smaller stuff to start with?

198
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't remember what the very first thing was. I

199
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: think it started with video games for me, so that

200
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: was my gateway. I started with what was that called?

201
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: It was a Lucas Arts thing. I did a couple

202
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: of Lucas Arts things. There's a thing called the Dig

203
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: and a couple of the old, old old games back then,

204
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: and so that how old old like were you that?

205
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: It was? Right after that, you just you were the

206
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: sound of okay, exactly exactly. It's just Pitfall where the

207
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: guys just running one direction. Um, I got to play

208
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: Pitfall Harry in the second incarnation that once he started speaking,

209
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: which is where I don't know that. Yeah, no, nobody, nobody, no,

210
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: of course not. There was one person that that knew Pitfall,

211
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: my version of Pitfall, and like the last five conventions,

212
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: so I don't know, and it was the probably the

213
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: guy who wrote the game. It probably was, and it

214
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: was just thrilled that I showed up again. Now, So

215
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: when you okay, we're gonna start video games, and since

216
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: you just started talking about video game, when you started

217
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: in video games, was it you got a script? You

218
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: when you read the script, that's all you had. You

219
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: didn't have to cover every way the player might go,

220
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: had they jumped to that the player is in charge,

221
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: so you've got to record nine thousand possibilities or were

222
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: you still just here's the script recorded for the video game.

223
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I really were just talking about this

224
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: is a great interview, Steve, when you don't remember anything about. No. No,

225
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: we did have to cover stuff because there were efforts

226
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: and reactions from that sort of thing. And in the

227
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: original games, and that the very first game I did,

228
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: I can't remember what it was called right now, but

229
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: I played a biker who was having a fist fight

230
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: with another biker on the road at like eighty miles

231
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: an okay, and so we had to do a lot

232
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: of efforts and reactions for that. So we did do

233
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: a full sound set for that sort of thing. That's

234
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: when there's still just the A and B button. That's

235
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: that's when I liked video games. They added the X button.

236
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: I was out me too exactly too much, probably Frogger

237
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: I can handle frogs right exactly. That that kind of

238
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: stuff is amazing. Okay, So then video games versus uh,

239
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: standard animation, do you have one that you prefer. I, well,

240
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: I prefer standard animation, original animation, just because well, it

241
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: used to be that we could be in the same

242
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: room together working and I love that chemistry and and

243
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: actors are funny and it was fun and there was

244
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: an alchemy that happens in the room when you're working

245
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: with another actor, as you know. Um, But that said,

246
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: video games was kind of my staple. I've done more

247
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: video games that have done anything else. That world record

248
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: that you mentioned, isn't that one of your world records

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: most voices in video games, which was such a weird

250
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: thing because I'm not a gamer. I didn't keep track

251
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: of it. I had no idea that was happening. Do

252
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: you know how many it is? I don't know. How

253
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: many it is. It's like four hundred something, is it now?

254
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: I don't think so, it's like four hundred something. And

255
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: you hold one of four Guinness Book of World Records.

256
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: That's what Gwen told me. I love other people telling

257
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: you about your Swendolin King. Right, did you one of

258
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: one of those Wolverine playing Wolverine things? Most prolific, most

259
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: obnoxious voice over, worst memory of a voiceover actor everts, most,

260
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: most pizza eaten for jobs? Yeah? Now here's my question,

261
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: because apparently you didn't even know you were in the

262
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: guinnesst Prokel World Record. So no, Guinness doesn't call you

263
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: and go like, hey, you won something. They did for

264
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: the first one. But what they did was they called

265
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: from England. They called my agent, and I had to

266
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: sit with my agent for like four months going through

267
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: my own IMDb to make sure that everything on there

268
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: was correct because I didn't know. As you know, when

269
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: we're working on games or any projects, many times they

270
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: code them the different code names and stuff, and I

271
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: don't play them, so I had no idea what they

272
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: were called. Once they came out, and so somebody else

273
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: post that stuff on IMDb and we had to go

274
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: through I guess I did that once. She had to

275
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: call producers and and we had to actually verify every

276
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: one of those insane and when they presented the award

277
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: they actually came out for It was a video game conference,

278
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: I forgot what it was called, a big one though,

279
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: one of the very first three. And I wasn't invited

280
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: to the con. They wanted to present it to me

281
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: at the con, but it was all development people, wh whatever.

282
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't get a ticket to go to the con

283
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: to accept my awards ads the most prolific actors. So

284
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: I was working at Nickelodeon at the time. We were

285
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: working on Legend of Cora and they were so nice.

286
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: That was I think our last recording session and they

287
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: let the Guinness people come there and they were going

288
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: to present the award in the studio, but they were

289
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: running an hour and a half behind. So we're all

290
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: sitting in the in the lobby just waiting for the

291
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: studio to open up. And finally at one point they

292
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: just said, well we got to get to the convention,

293
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: so on behalf of Guinness Records. Here you go, snapped

294
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: the picture and ran off and that was it so anticlimactic,

295
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: So you just you also got the award for most

296
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: awards never actually given to you. Exactly, Yeah, exactly, which

297
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: is which is which is great? Exactly? Yeah, that's and

298
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: the other three they didn't contact me at all. I

299
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: didn't even know until gwent well yeah, because they're like, oh,

300
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: Steve one again, I'm not going through that whole thing

301
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: trying to give this guy an award, and I'm not

302
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: calling Nickelodeon the begging again because welcome there. Okay. So

303
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: I think one of the people one of the things

304
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: people want to talk about, myself included is Wolverine. Yeah,

305
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: so so cool, so cool. Now, a lot of times

306
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: in voiceover, you don't know who you're reading for, Like

307
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: when I was doing, like you said, Bumblebee until the

308
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: day they gave it to me, I thought I was

309
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: reading for something called Blue Streak because they didn't want

310
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: anybody to know. Did you know you were going in

311
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: and reading for Wolverine or was it like, just come

312
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: in and read for this thing. No. The first time

313
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: I played Wolverine was in a game, and it was

314
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: X Men Legends, and so for that incarnation of it,

315
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: I knew it was Wolverine, Okay, And from that point

316
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: forward as they brought me back for each project. I

317
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: had to read for every single time I played Wolverine.

318
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: You had to audition every single time you played Wolverine.

319
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: That you won an award for the most times people

320
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: have played Wolverine, you still had to audition for it,

321
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: nobody cares. Yeah, so no, they It's always a different

322
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: production team, and everybody wants to put their own stamp

323
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: on it, and so they want to make sure, first

324
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: of all, that I can still do it because I'm old. Yeah,

325
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: in all fairness, Wolverine was like a hundred and seventies Well, yes, yes,

326
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: that's what That's what I'm saying. But he doesn't speak

327
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: that way necessarily. It sounds like he's still virile and

328
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. So they want to make sure

329
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: I could at least fake that. Um, you've been faking

330
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: virility for you, faking everything. I don't tell Mary, don't

331
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: tell Mary. Yeah, that's so fun. You're not still auditioning

332
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: to play Wolverine, that's yeah to me. Yeah, I've auditioned

333
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: for Wolverine three times in the last year, and I

334
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: think somebody else has been booking Wolverine for certain things.

335
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: Actually called Dodd booked Wolverine for for something, okay, and

336
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm celebrating him because he was one of the originals. Yeah,

337
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: but still it's it's so weird to me that there

338
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: they you still have to audition for kind of helped create. No,

339
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: I did not think the persona the voice. Sure, there's

340
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: like you think of you think of certain characters, God Resting,

341
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Connroy, I think a Batman. I hear Kevin, you know, yeah,

342
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: he's so there are certain characters that are certain actors

343
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: that are connected with characters. And when I'm reading a

344
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: comic book or whatever, I hear you as Wolverine when

345
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm when I'm reading something, So there are certain people

346
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: that are identified. There's also that one book that said

347
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: you did it the most I forget because they didn't

348
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: show up the hand of you. That's right, record. Um.

349
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: But so I guess it just shows the nature of

350
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: the business though, doesn't Yeah, yeah, yeah, it doesn't. I

351
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: like having to prove myself constantly, and that's the life

352
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: of voice actor. We audition and then if we get

353
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: the job, we're lucky. But but the audition really is

354
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: the job. And I've never I've never deviated from that philosophy,

355
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: and I think that that served me really really will

356
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: and I and there have been some things in the

357
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: press lately with actors who have been replaced by other

358
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: voice actors for various reasons, and they get this. This

359
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: one in particular instance, I won't call it out, but

360
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: in this one particular instance, this actor said publicly that

361
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: I created this role. No, you didn't know. The person

362
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: who created the role created the role. We get to

363
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: voice it and we get to put our interpretation of

364
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: it out there. But Wolverine is not my role. I

365
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: didn't create it, So I'm just grateful every time they

366
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: bring me in to do it. That's an awesome philosophy

367
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: to have you have to and go crazy. I create

368
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: all the roles I do. I know you do well

369
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: that you're the exception. They're all mine. You are the exception,

370
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: and anybody who who does that after me is just bad. Yeah,

371
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: that's all fight him. That's that's how I look at

372
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: I will fight him. Even characters that were around way

373
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: before I ever started to become an actorate those are

374
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: still mine as I agree. Yeah, that's yeah, that's how

375
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: I am. Um, okay, very sorry, that's all that the

376
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: role of Jesus, Jesus that I created. That's created. That's it.

377
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: You are my Jesus. Well, that's interesting. Another hashtag of Sunday.

378
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: Sunday we can be reverent in here. Um, here's something

379
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: I was like. This is just I'm getting off. First

380
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: of all, it never goes. The only good thing about

381
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: this is that Christie is not here. Thank god. She

382
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: just bring a room right down, low energy. She's great.

383
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: Now we missed Christie. But um, some something I always

384
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: like to ask, because then I want to get into

385
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: why you think anime for something that you've done a

386
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: lot of why why that has exploded? But before we

387
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: get into that, um, is there a role you would

388
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: love to play that you haven't yet? No? Uh, well,

389
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: thanks for coming. The only exception to that might be

390
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: like an uh studio ghiblie things or something like that.

391
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: If I've always wanted to work on one of those,

392
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: that would be really cool. But there's never a superhero

393
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: that you've really wanted to do, or the villain you've

394
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: wanted to play, or somebody who haven't gotten shot at

395
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: the only exception to that would have been Batman. Okay,

396
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: but then I heard Kevin Conroy do Batman, and I've

397
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: heard you do Batman and it's like, oh, well I

398
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: can do a Batman, but it's not going to be

399
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: the good Batman. Well, nobody's Kevin again. I always say

400
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: that I had the easiest, the most difficult, easiest job

401
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: in the world because I didn't have to play Bruce,

402
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: so I wasn't It was like, whatever I did, I

403
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: was going to be the best Terry. Yes, you know,

404
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: because nobody had ever done it before. So it wasn't

405
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: like you had to jump in and beat bruced. But

406
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: everybody puts their own spin on whatever they do. I

407
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: mean like Dietrich's Batman was was phenomenal, and Roger Craig

408
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: Smith's was terrible. Yes, um Jesus Troy Baker awful Smith.

409
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: O yea, Roger Kreigsmith, is he's here, bad actor in

410
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: a terrible human being? Is he in the room? He's

411
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 1: probably here somewhere. Follow your nose there, Roger Craigsmith is here,

412
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: Lady is there the background? Have another Batman here, Ladies

413
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, Thank you the amazing Roger Kreigsmith. Okay today

414
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 1: you're my Batman? Alright, fine, fine, yes you are. I

415
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: created that role. Why not both Batman, Jesus exactly, jazz Man.

416
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: You don't even want to see the cosplay for jas Man. Yeah,

417
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: soberribly round kids, cover your ear. It's going to go wrong, uh,

418
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: anime very quickly, and then we're going to throw it

419
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: to everybody because this is where the fun happens. Um.

420
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: I know that. I have my theory that the pandemic

421
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: kind of some for some reason, people were drawn to

422
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: anime and it's just since exploded. Do you think that's

423
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: what it is. I think that's what it is, because

424
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: you need time to go through seven episodes of Narrow too. Yes, Yes,

425
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's all of a sudden, it's like, well,

426
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: I've got two years, I might as well check something out.

427
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: So people are rediscovering anime and they're there are There

428
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: are lots of anime that were re released also, and

429
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: crunchy Rolls put a whole bunch of stuff out there,

430
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: so it's a lot more accessible than it was before.

431
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: Plus people were homebound. So yeah, and nothing else is doing.

432
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: So do you prefer recording Western animation or anime? Um? Wow,

433
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: that's a tough question. These days, it's it's almost the

434
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: same thing because I record everything from home, so which

435
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: is the way anime was always done before, is always

436
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: not from home. But it was a solo experience. Is

437
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: just us in the booth with a director and an engineer,

438
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of people there. Uh, which is the

439
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: way video games were. It's it's now the way most

440
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: original animation is when we used to work in groups.

441
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: So it's very similar experience. And I'm so used to dubbing.

442
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, are you still at your home studio?

443
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: Are you still map? You know, you're still matching the

444
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: mouth flaps and everything, which is which they changed. Pipe

445
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: it through to me and I just match whatever is.

446
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: I always had a slightly difficult time in that I

447
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: did a video game back in the day, and I

448
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: remember they were dubbing it from Japanese to America to

449
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: American to English to American to English as we're kind

450
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: of sitting in the room and because they somebody hadn't

451
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: done it properly. And I remember sitting there at one

452
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: time and the line was literally, I must take the

453
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Golden Sword to the ship because if I don't, the

454
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: princess will die. And the Japanese was dah, Yeah, that

455
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: was it, and so they had to sit there because

456
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: that was a mouth flat was one word, and it

457

00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,479
Speaker 1: I can't believe I got this like five minutes ago

626
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: and now it's gone. I just I thought it would

627
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: be over my head and be okay, But my horn

628
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: hit it. You popped it with your own horn. I

629
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: didn't even think about that. That's so sad. It's because

630
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: you've had a privileged life. That's so sad. Most of

631
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: us have popped it with our own horn. Hello. Hey,

00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: I am convinced we are going to be able to

636
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: find an incredible voice actor. That's going to be able

00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: Anybody else stepping up? Anybody now? All right? I have

652
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: a question for you, Roger. Now, Roger's like, I'm not

653
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: coming up. I'm not going. I have a question for you, Steve.

654
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: What would the apple sound like? Uh? Well, everything I

655
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: can think of is not appropriate for this room. Oh geez,

656
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: wait a second. Sibilants I'm Wolverine. That's it, Roger Craig Smith,

657
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, everybody. Uh, Steve, So what was it

658
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: like when you used to play Wolverine and now it

659
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: belongs to somebody else? Roger is just you know, it

660
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: was a good run. And I think we're in pretty

661
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: good hands. I think as long as he wears pants

662
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: to his sessions, why would he start now? No, he's

663
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: he really shouldn't have gotten used to him. Exact that

664
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: the way it is. By the way, um, we have

665
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of time left, so not let you

666
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: off the hook. What is the apple sound like? Uh?

667
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: I girl? A hole in a very strange place. Yeah,

668
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: and something's coming out of it. And I don't think

669
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: it's mccore that worked. It worked Jesus unbelievable. So this

670
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: is my favorite question, asked a voice over actor because

671
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: they can't answer at the time. What have you been

672
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: working on? And what can we see? And that's coming out?

673
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: This is it? This is all? Literally have no asking

674
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: voice over. They're like, I have ninety three things, but

675
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: I can't tell you about any of them. No, I

676
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: can't tell you about most of them. Yeah, there's a

677
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: show I didn't. And it's an on camera show that

678
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: I did a voice for for Disney called Villains of

679
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: Valley View, and I play this character called Onyx, the

680
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: bad guy in this show. I had no idea what

681
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 1: I was working on when I did it, and it's

682
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: it's really fun to now is it really on camera?

683
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: Because for some reason I made air quotes and I

684
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: don't understand what that well, because there is an actor

685
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: on camera. I just voiced it after the fact. Because

686
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: you often say that to me, You're like, well, you're

687
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: an on camera I do say that to you. What

688
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: is the whole different connotation? Well, no, it's just I

689
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: don't do a lot of characters that are live action. Yeah,

690
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: unless you know it's it's background voices for movies and

691
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: things like that, But for TV shows, I really haven't

692
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: done that before. So it was kind of fun to

693
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: to step in and work, especially on a kids show

694
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: that is popular for a demographic that I normally don't

695
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: wrap into. It was just kind of fun to do

696
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: something a little bit different. So do you do you

697
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: want to do on camera? Works? None? So somebody comes

698
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: up to you and says, man, I got this great movie.

699
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: I want you to come and be, you know, come

700
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: starr and be the funny guy with me. You'd say no.

701
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: I would say no because I am too lazy and

702
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: I am seriously I am too lazy hot behind it.

703
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: It's not like i'd be I'd be scared of it. Nope,

704
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: too lazy, am I am? I'm really, I'm really lazy.

705
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: I don't like memorization. I'm I'm singing in a choir

706
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm living in Hawaii and I'm singing

707
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: in this community choir with eighty year olds. They want

708
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: me to memorize like three lines because we're doing a

709
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: little Christmas production and I'm struggling doing that because I

710
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: haven't done it in so many years. So there are

711
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: so many things about the last sentence you just said

712
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: that I want to unpack. I'm singing in a choir

713
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: in Hawaii with eighty year olds and they want me

714
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: to memorize three lines, and I'm having trouble. I don't

715
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 1: know where to start. I'll be honest with you. That's

716
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: that's really all there is. Oh my, well, thank you

717

00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: is Mary is an amazing professional singer. Yeah, and he's

721
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: sang with this, uh, this acapella group from Princeton. They've

722
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: been doing it for years and years and years. Did

723
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: they have a cool name like chock full of Notes?

724
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 1: They there are lots of them like that. There are

00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: called the Nassoons. They have the best and they performed

726
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,880

728
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,360

Speaker 1: to him and they asked us to come and sing

730
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: in the choir with him. And I haven't done that

731
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: in forty five years, so I thought that would be

732
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: a fun challenge. That's really excite singing and everything. Everybody's

733
