He really is. 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: It's a strange way to to describe him, but yes 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: he is. And normally we would do our intro at 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: the beginning, but I'm away and I had some technical issues, 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: so we got to talk to this amazing man first 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: and now we're enjoying him second. But who's our guest today? 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: Oh man, it's the one, the only Rob Paulson. Wait 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: to hear this.

The first thing we need to say 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: is that this show would absolutely not exist without our 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: guest today, because one of the greatest shows in history 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: for anybody who loved animation was Talking Tunes. Oh God, 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: bless you well man by the way you lowered your 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: standards enough to get on to come on my show. 17 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: That's not you're kidding. You know how honored I was 18 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: to be able to sit there with you. And without 19 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: Talking Tunes, I Hear Voices would not exist. So credit 20 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: where credit is due. We were trying to to pick 21 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: up the torch, which is absolutely impossible to do after 22 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: having such a brilliant show, So thank you for joining us.

So thank you, Christie. It's very strange. 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: One of the things that's so strange and and wonderful. Uh. 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: And and you know, anytime there's anything terrible like the pandemic, 38 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: you try to look for positives wherever you can And 39 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: one of the things that came out that was so 40 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: positive was a whole new group of people found animation. 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: Hey man, it has blown up off rightfully so the 42 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: most talented actors you will ever meet in history, from 43 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: any genre of acting. You want to pick our bar 44 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: non voice over actors. I will say that till the 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: day I beg if they are the best ever. And 46 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: people they're starting to get there due just a little bit. 47 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: And when you're at a convention and you're seeing on 48 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: camera actors with a decent line of people, and then 49 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: the voice over actors with people down the street, you 50 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: realize you are finally getting their due. Isn't that something? Uh? 51 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: It is. I started my career in in Hollywood forty 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: four years ago, uh, ostensibly to do what I had 53 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: done at theater, guide music and all that. So I 54 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: came out and was doing TV and movies and a 55 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: lot of commercials on camera. H But as you know, well, um, 56 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, average looking Caucasian kids from Michigan or a 57 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: diamond doesn't Uh. Some are talented, some art and sometimes 58 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, especially when commercials are small parts on television. 59 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: If you fit the suit, you got a shot. Um. 60 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what. Everybody loves cartoons virtually, and 61 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: when I got here, cartoons were pretty much relegated to 62 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: Saturday morning. The Three networks. Um, and so they were 63 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: literally a handful of actors who were fortunate up to 64 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: do them all and rightfully so June Foray and now 65 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: blank and you know does Butler and just legends over 66 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: and over and over and over again. Um. So in 67 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: the mid eighties, I think my agent, uh called. By 68 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: the way, I'm still represented by them. They still haven't 69 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: figured it out that they should. Don't be a long 70 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: time ago, but um they said, have you ever thought 71 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: about auditioning for animation as well? Sure, but it's that 72 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: gig is closed. Well, you know, things are starting to change. 73 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: Of course, this was before uh the Internet, before HBO, 74 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: certainly before Cartoon Network anything. So the first show I 75 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: went to audition forward shows were g I Joe and Transformers, 76 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: and I got a gig, and I remember just minor characters. 77 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: I called my agent literally when I found a phone booth, um, 78 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: and I said, do whatever it takes, send me out 79 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: for more of this. The first thing I noticed when 80 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: I walked into this room of wonderful actors, several of 81 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: whom where people I recognized from episodic television. You know, 82 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: Bob Rigiley or Bill Daily or Marsha Wallace, whomever. And 83 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: the second thing I noticed is that they were not 84 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: only obviously gifted, but they were utterly unencumbered by how 85 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: they looked. They were monsters and you know, bad guys, 86 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: good guys singing, not singing exactly why kids begin acting 87 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: in the first place. It's literally like high tech sandbox. 88 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: And I thought, man on, man, now you're talking. Nobody 89 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: gives up Pardner. You know what what I'm looking like? Um, 90 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: I was only limited by my chops, my willingness to 91 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: be fearless, small enough, you know what I mean, but 92 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: not not worry about how I looked, at how I 93 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: came across, and by getting the right angle or or 94 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: my teeth, none of that. It was literally like being 95 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: a kid saying, all right, you be the monster, and 96 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the guy to kill the monster. That's 97 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: what it was. And oh my god, it really was 98 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: like like somebody had shown a light on this is 99 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: the reason you came to Hollywood. Uh. And honestly, now, 100 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: when I'm old enough to be pretty much everybody's grandfather, 101 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: people don't know. People don't know that I was the 102 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: entertainment at the last time. Pretty old I was checky 103 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: of arimathea, you know, but sit down, Judas, that's exactly 104 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,119 Speaker 1: and you know what it was, Jesus, what a party, 105 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: and you know it was. It was great. But nonetheless, Uh, 106 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: now that I'm older, I'm young enough to travel around 107 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: the world doing what I'm doing now getting a chance 108 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: to meet people, as you had alluded to earlier. Well, 109 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: these fantastic conventions, which are so ubiquitous, they're springing up 110 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: like it's on a twelve year old. I couldn't be 111 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: more excited. The stories we hear over and over again, 112 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: you guys, is the extent to which these characters connect 113 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: with people. It got me through this my father died. 114 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: We used to watch it together, you name it. And 115 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: it is so much bigger than my paycheck. It is 116 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: so much bigger than an action figure or rating point. 117 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: And as long as I can do this physically and 118 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: travel around, I can't get enough of it. It is 119 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: after the pandemic and increcredible reminder of not only how 120 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: fortunate we all are to do this gig, but our 121 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: work really is important. It really is, and oh my god, 122 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: you guys can't enough of it. Well, it's also the 123 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: thing that's amazing is it's generational, which is something that 124 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: I love so and every generation really believes that they 125 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: have their own, their best, their best cartoons. And with 126 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: the funny thing is mine does um so everything, So 127 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: everything you've done when we're talking about we can get 128 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: and we're going to get into Pinky and the Brain 129 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: and all this stuff obviously, but when you say the 130 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: first thing you did was G I Joe's, I had 131 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: to run home to watch G I Joe. I would 132 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: cry when I missed G I Joe. I mean it 133 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: was one of those things where this was back in 134 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: the day where there was one VCR and somebody had 135 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: it on the streets. So it wasn't you couldn't. You 136 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: didn't record anything. There was no no YouTube, no DVDs. 137 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: If you caught the show, you caught the show. If 138 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: you didn't, you didn't. But the idea that you got 139 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: to do G I Joe and Transformers, and that was 140 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: during the ThunderCats and he Man and silver Hawks. I 141 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: mean again that those that's my jam, that's my that's 142 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: it got me into those cartoons. So I've got to 143 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: know a little bit about what it was like to 144 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: record G I Joe. Oh well, I walked in and 145 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: Charlie Avert, the lovely Charlie Adder, who just had a 146 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: birthday I think the day before yesterday. Uh Charlie and 147 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: I meant on G I Joe five six um and 148 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: Uh Charlie came from a heavy duty Broadway background and 149 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: my background was live theater music and then commercials in 150 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: l a um. But we were both really really excited. 151 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: And as a kid, when I was a kid, G 152 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: I Joe was an action figure for boys. It was 153 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: like about that talk. Of course you always said, oh 154 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: it's like a Kendall. No, it's not a doll. It's 155 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: an acid figure and one of which I had. So 156 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: as soon as my agent said G I Joe, I said, oh, 157 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: I am so in yeah, try and stop me. So 158 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: I got hired to do a character called snow Job, 159 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: who was, uh, like I, a Nordic winter soldier, you know. 160 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: So he was. He was the Polar. He was a 161 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: polar Polar ranger.

He just do it in the voice as 335 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: much as he could to try to try to emulate you. 336 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: And I heard that song over and over and over 337 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: from Mr Mark. I just I just love that boy 338 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: so much. We did me too. He um. We did 339 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: uh you know show together called goof Troop and then 340 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: we did the Goofy movie. That was another one of 341 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: those things. I don't know. Five six years ago, I 342 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: gotta call and Disney said, you guys know all about 343 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: d twenty three and the big Disney. We are just there. 344 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: We were just there in a couple of weekends. OK. Right, 345 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: So they called and said, hey, we're doing a Goofy movie. Um, 346 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, retrospective twenty anniversaries. Great. I'd love to come 347 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: down you guys. I had no idea how big that 348 00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: movie is. Two millions of people huge, And it's not 349 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: only a charming little movie. But I know I'm preaching 350 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: of the choir. But for all your folks out there, 351 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: if you've not seen it, watch it again or watch it. 352 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: But but also so um my son is now thirty eight, 353 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: but anyone, any young boy with his father, can utterly 354 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: relate to the difficulties that both were having. Both Max 355 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: and Goofy were having to communicate with It's timeless. It 356 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: is about, you know, Max hinding his way and Goofy 357 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: went to let go and trying to communicate. Very difficult. 358 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: But those performances Bill Farmer as Goofy and Jason Marsden 359 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: as Max, we're nothing short of incredible. They were heartrending, 360 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: oh beautiful and almost like human human elements. Absolutely, Christie 361 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: and uh, you know you can see Goofy just gosh. 362 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: I just don't know. I don't know, honey, I don't 363 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: know what to say to woman. I don't love him 364 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: so much. But it's perfect. And yeah, talk about acting 365 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: is acting those characters. They're just fine actors. Jason and 366 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: Billy are just world class actors. It's not a wonder 367 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: that they they do so well because they're really talented. 368 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: I remember asking Andrea Romano about that, where I said, 369 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: because you know, working with Andrea, you never know it 370 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: was like that, like the teenage meeting Ninja Turtles thing 371 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: where you walk in the room and you never knew 372 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: the actors that were going to be there, and you 373 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, I get to work with 374 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: John Ritter, I get to where it was just one 375 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: but Robert Patrick, one person after the next. And I 376 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: always asked her, I said, what now when you're casting? 377 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: You know, with Andrea, I try to get as many 378 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: little tidbits from her as that possibly could. And I 379 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: was like, how how do you do your casting? And 380 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: she said, I don't ever cast voice over actors. I 381 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: cast actors. That's it. She's like, some of them can 382 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: do a bunch of voices, some of them can't. But 383 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: I always cast actors, and that's that's the difference. Is 384 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: it interesting? If you go down her IMDb of the 385 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: shows on which she was a director, most, I would say, 386 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: most of, not all, All are are iconic shows that 387 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: show and the reason they are is because, for example, 388 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: Mark Hamill is a tripic actor. Of course, he's a 389 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: tripic actor. Kevin Conroy is a mind blowing actor, right, 390 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: So Tress McNeil over and over and over and over 391 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: and over again. And so it makes perfect sense that 392 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: not only is she a tripic director, but she knows 393 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: that it is not just about to do in the 394 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: funny voice. And I think more and more people, thanks 395 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: to shows like yours, are starting to understand it. Wow. 396 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: Uh And I know you guys get this at all 397 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: the time from young people. Christie, I'm a big fan. 398 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: How do I if you get into this? What do 399 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: you suggest I do? I do a really great Bart 400 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: Simpson good for you and and have a blast. But 401 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to burst your bubble. I would never 402 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: tell you not to come out here. But it's about acting, 403 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: and it's about improv acting maybe music, stretching yourself, being 404 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: utterly self aware. That is to say, not that you're 405 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: a beautiful young woman that goes out the window, a 406 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: beautiful young woman when you walk out the door. But 407 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: the idea is to inhabit the character. And that's why 408 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: people love bugs. That's why people love Barts, why they 409 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: love Goofy, why they love you know, all these characters. 410 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: They're wonderfully well. You mentioned before the term high tech 411 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: sandbox to play in, and I think that's something that 412 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: we haven't heard before. Will and it's really love that shirt. 413 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: I play in a high tech sandbox. And you know, Robert, 414 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: you had that Vanity Fair YouTube. You know video that 415 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: we saw and I mean, well you saw it, right, 416 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen it. You've I think you've quoted 417 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: it before Vanity Fairview. Robin. He does all the voices 418 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: and it's it's amazing. If you haven't seen it, not 419 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: will But you guys listening, if you haven't seen it, 420 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: you should definitely go and check out Rob's amazing ability 421 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: to just inhabit all of those characters. But I mean, 422 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: could we talk about that, I mean, your approach, whatever 423 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: you want. He takes all the different characters. Oh, he 424 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: takes all the characters and he just goes and he 425 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: plays and it's amazing to watch. Well, you guys know 426 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: this also, And I think Billy another guy. I gotta 427 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: stop dropping names, but we love it. But Billy, you 428 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: guys know Billy West and not again on our show. 429 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: What a sweet man first and foremost a delightful, sweet 430 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: kind on giving man giving and but he opens his mouth, 431 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: it's just hm. But Billy coined the phrase, and I 432 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: think he's right. He said, you know what, Robbie, what 433 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: I love about voice actors is we're fearless. And he's right, 434 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: especially I mean while they're working, um, when the producers say, 435 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: you know, well, we're looking to a guy. Do you 436 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: do a very good dot n I said, well, I 437 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: don't really do a good dot Knox, but I'll tell 438 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: you what I'll do. I'll give you my take on it, 439 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna jump right in. And the worst that 440 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: can happen is the director of a reduce the last 441 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: little bit and says, well, you're right, it is not 442 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: terribly good, but you know what what you did there 443 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,239 Speaker 1: was pretty interesting, and you know, let me take out 444 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: a second. Yeah, we don't need donats go go ahead 445 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: and do that some more. Well, and that stuff happens 446 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: all the time. I've also seen people who say, hey, Rob, 447 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: can you do good Donna? Jesus, you know Jeff Benness 448 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: the guy I don't.

You just 450 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: lost a chance to show that you are fearless if 451 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: you're willing to play, and that you are not And 452 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: you said it earlier, Christie. It's a it's a big 453 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: team experience, and uh it. It really is important not 454 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: to have that adult junk about oh my god, I'm 455 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: getting old and all that stuff when you know and 456 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: it's not about leave your ego outside the door and 457 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: if somebody says do not say I'll do the best 458 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: I can, but meant to it and you never know 459 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: when the producer is going to Christie was unterly fearless. 460 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: She jumped right in. It was not exactly what we 461 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: thought we wanted, but Christie's talent and her willingness to 462 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: jump in the pool was so great. She came up 463 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: with something we never would have thought of it. We're 464 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: going to write that character to the show. Happens all 465 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: the time. I think it has an energy to it too, 466 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: right where if you're really going for it and you're 467 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: really trying something and you're free in that moment with 468 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: your voice, well, it's it's it's also it's one of 469 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: those things where I think what you just said is 470 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: very very important because we so we're One of the 471 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 1: things we love to do here on I Hear Voices 472 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: is we have, you know, an amateur come in and 473 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: they get to work with some of these legends, which 474 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: obviously we're going to do a little bit later um, 475 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: but we try to give nuggets of or have our 476 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: guests give nuggets of of of advice on how to 477 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: navigate not only the world of animation, but just acting 478 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: in general. And something you just said there is is 479 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: hugely important in something that we haven't really covered. And 480 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whether it's animation, it's on camera, it's radio, 481 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: it's jokes, whatever it is, you have to commit a 482 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: hundred persist if you get the worst case scenario is 483 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: you're going to run into the wall, but you're gonna 484 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: run into the If you walk into the wall, nobody cares. 485 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: If you run into the wall for full steam, there's 486 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: a chance you're gonna break through. UM. So that you 487 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: have to commit to everything that you do UM. And 488 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, for instance, in sitcom, you commit to the 489 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: joke and you are relying on your writers to know that, Hey, 490 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: if I commit to the joke percent, you're going to 491 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: be able to see that the joke doesn't work. But 492 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: I gave it. If I give you, you're not gonna 493 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: know whether the joke's gonna work or not. I give 494 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: You're going to know the joke didn't work. It's the 495 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: same in animation. And that is one of the things 496 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: with the actors and actresses in the booth that you 497 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: get to work with is I don't ever think I've 498 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: ever ever seen anybody who works consistently half asid never 499 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: And you know, uh um, I've started directing a little 500 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: bit and I really enjoyed and that it is so 501 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: much easier to pull an actor back than to say, 502 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: come on, come on, just I don't want to tell 503 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: you how to do it, but god, you're you're not 504 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: getting it and uh. And so you don't want to 505 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: put an actor on their heels. You don't want to 506 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: embarrass them. But if somebody says, uh, and how many 507 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: times have you been in a a session with somebody 508 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: who's kind of just given, especially on camera talent, and 509 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: they say, we need you to really when this happens, 510 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: you're you're screaming because your girlfriend has been stolen in 511 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: the monster Journey. But they're they're used to having the 512 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: camera right here, and so Andrea will say, okay, let's 513 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: dud again. It's just really screaming. So what happens They 514 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: finally get there, and when the person screams at the 515 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: level that the producers and the directors are happy with, 516 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: they kind of that's like the way out of my 517 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: comfort zone exactly. So but but if you see John Demago, 518 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: or you see you know, or you see uh Welker 519 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: or any of those other guys, it is astonishing. And 520 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: I've worked with Frank I don't know three hundred times. 521 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: I've known him forever. Every time I work with that guy, 522 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: he does something that just said, Frank, where did that 523 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: come from? And he The point is, folks and young 524 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: actors out there, Frank never stops learning, he never stops 525 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: coming up with new stuff. Guy's got all the money 526 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: he'll ever need. Same thing with Tress, same thing with 527 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: Nancy Cartwright, same thing with all of it there. They 528 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: love the process. They are bona fide actors and it's 529 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: something that is utterly part of their soul. I mean, 530 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,239 Speaker 1: and whether they're getting paid for it or not, if 531 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm hanging out with with you guys and Billy and Uhde, 532 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: Bradley Baker, Um, April Winchell or whatever, in five or 533 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: ten minutes, will have all these wonderful actors being lit 534 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: up by one another and it's going like this, and 535 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: we're laughing our guts out. The people around us think 536 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: we were utterly insane, but it's and there's no money involved. 537 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: It's just about the joy right of the process. And 538 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: when you see that happen in the studio. I tell 539 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: people all the time, you guys, that's the show. That 540 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: is the freaking show. And you're a room with people 541 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: like that playing that game at high level, and it's 542 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: just it talked about a high tide raising all boats. 543 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm way better around those people they do. Christine, at 544 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: the beginning, you learned pretty quickly, which is precisely what 545 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: Will was suggesting about the commitment. You learned pretty quickly 546 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: that it's okay to be a little bit afraid of that, 547 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: but if you don't make the choice to jump in, 548 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: then you're gonna get run over because people are so 549 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: good and the bar is so hot, and you know, 550 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: if I die tomorrow, be a little bit of a drag. 551 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: My wife had had plenty of money, and they'd say, well, 552 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: I reckon, we better start recasting. So there are plenty 553 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: of really fabulous actors out there, and when the best 554 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: of the best don't rest on their laurels, they just don't. 555 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: And that's why it's well it is. But it's also 556 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: the only thing I can liken it too. When you're 557 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: in a room with with these amazing men and women 558 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: that are pushing each other but also at times trying 559 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: to one up each other. The only feeling I've ever 560 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: had like that in my life is trying to make 561 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: my brother's laugh. Like there's like you're trying to get 562 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: your get respect, but you also want to earn. It's 563 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: the strangest thing. But again, you're right when it comes 564 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: to the commitment. You're never gonna hear anybody say, John DiMaggio, 565 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: can you bring it up to It's always bring it 566 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: back yet, and that's what you want. That's exactly as 567 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: you are listening to each other too, all performing and 568 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: raising the bar. Oh yeah, you have to listen to me. Sure. 569 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: The only technical thing is that sometimes you have to 570 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: be very careful about overlapping one another because of the 571 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: technical aspects of the animation. But no, I'm always better. 572 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: Obviously with respect to COVID, you know, we've all been 573 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: lucky enough to keep working, whether recording from home or 574 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: solo in a studio. But I'm an old dog. I 575 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: much prefer to be with the other actors. They absolutely 576 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: make me better. And when you go home exhausted from 577 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: four hours of doing what you would do for free, 578 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: and what a great way to go through life. You're 579 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: exhausted from lapping and hanging out with people that you 580 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: would choose to be your friends. Holy smoke. Okay, So 581 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: before we we bring in our special guests, which we're 582 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: gonna to play with us again because ladies and gentlemen, 583 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: we have brought back a fan favorite which were so 584 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: excited to have back us, the Garden. We're very excited. 585 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: We could not have Rob Paulson here and not do 586 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of work with But I need to 587 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: know some of your basic backgrounds. So for instance, Rob, 588 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: what was your animation jam growing up? What were the 589 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: shows that you wanted to watch when you were a kid? 590 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: Looney Tunes, uh, flint Stone's Johnny Quest. Um, I love 591 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: Johnny Quest and I got to be my first uh 592 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: steady gig animation was was with the God Blessing the 593 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: late Great Gordon Hunt. And there was a a reboot 594 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: of Johnny Quest in the mid eighties and I got 595 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: to be Hog and I really thought I was going 596 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: to lose my mind. But yeah, those shows, there were 597 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: a couple of people don't remember, especially there's no reasoning 598 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: with their younger folks don't know that flint Stones was 599 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: a prime time animated show on ABC. Uh. There was 600 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: another animated show with William Wyndham as the star called 601 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: um Wait Till Your Father Gets Home.

Then a couple of years later there 620 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: was a Jetson's movie in which I played uh, a 621 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: rock and roll star, and I was in love with 622 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: Judy Jetson, so I got to go to work. I 623 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: went to work one day and Gordon Hut says, hey, Robbie, 624 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: mel Blank is here? Ay? Good?

So Mr 626 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: Blank was probably I don't know, late seventies, and he 627 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: passed away as uh I sat next to them, and 628 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: of course it took me a while to must have 629 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: the courage, but I said, Mr Blank look like anyone 630 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: with a pulse. I'm a I'm a fan and uh, 631 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: I just not only need to tell you that, but 632 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: if it's not too much trouble. And of course he 633 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: knew exactly what he wanted, took off his glasses and 634 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: looks at me, said yeah, what's up, doc? And it 635 00:35:54,280 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: was mind melted. Yeah, And immediately immediately, you guys, I 636 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: was transported back to sitting in Livonia, Michigan. You know 637 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:13,959 Speaker 1: what's the television? Um? And just killed the web, killed 638 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: the web's things and fire. I've seen all those a 639 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: hundred times, and it was sudden, I'm sitting next to 640 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: this guy was like, you know, kind of small and 641 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: old and and that one none of that matter. It 642 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 1: was just astonishing, almost chemical experience of what's up, Doc? 643 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: That was real. It's the voice. Yeah, No, I've had 644 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: I've told this before, I've told the story before. But 645 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: I had exactly the same, exactly the same moment when 646 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: I was doing Transformers and so I was I was 647 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: Bumblebee and Peter Colin comes in and he's sitting there, 648 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: and I'm next to kry Peyton and there's you know, 649 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: a couple of us were all in our warties and 650 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 1: we're sitting there and the first line, Peter just goes 651 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: Bumblebee and we almost cried in the room, like literally, 652 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: and it took me thirty seconds to realize I had 653 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: to answer him. It was like he was talking to 654 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: me and I was eight years old. I had my 655 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 1: Transformers in front of me, and instantly there's almost nothing 656 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: that that brings you back to that place that fast 657 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: as when you were a fan of cartoons growing up, 658 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: and you hear that voice and you I could smell 659 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,240 Speaker 1: the carpet was on again, and I was it was amazing. 660 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: So you have those moments, they are magical. I remember 661 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 1: a few years ago when the first Transformers movie came out, 662 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: the first Michael Baby movie came out, and Maurice Uh 663 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: texted me from the Chinese theater. They said, you know, 664 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: we're all kind of excited, but you know, Robbie, I 665 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: don't know. They hadn't really talked much about the voice cast, 666 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: and of course to the COGNISENTI the the real ill 667 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: have you getting Transformers fans? They were like, I hope 668 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: they don't put you know, Kevin Nelon as the voice 669 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: in here, and so he said, I'll let you know 670 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: how it goes. So Mo calls me afterwards. She says, Robbie, 671 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: we're sitting here and the audience is full, I mean 672 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 1: jam And as soon as Optimists comes on on the screen, 673 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 1: everybody's screaming and yelling. And then Peter says on the 674 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: bus rollout and they everybody jumped up hot corn one 675 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: in the air. They started clapping because it was utterly 676 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: authentic and their fears were completely blown out. They're just like, 677 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 1: oh my god, it's really optimised and it matters. It matters. 678 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: It's not about whether or not Brad Pitt as a 679 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: talking dragon. I love Brad Pitt, but unless Brad Pitt 680 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: creates the voice that becomes iconic, it doesn't really matter. 681 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: And boy, I just I love the those characters have 682 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: that much power. Yes, yes, And also I know that 683 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 1: we're going to bring our guest on pretty soon. Right well, 684 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: it feels like we'll probably, I think. But I have 685 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,439 Speaker 1: a couple I there, we got right when we talk 686 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: about the voice being an instrument, right, this is my 687 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: final thing. And I'll let well with his questions because 688 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: we love you when when we talk about the voice. 689 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: By the way, I have my I have my dush 690 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: proof clothes on. Okay, good because it's there.

Um, 697 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: not toe cancer, not hair cancer. But but I have 698 00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: to tell you, honestly, and I'm so glad you brought that, Um, 699 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm fine. I'm gonna die someday, but not from throat cancer. However, Um, 700 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: all of us who are halfway decent humans move through 701 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 1: our lives in a certain hopefully uh well rounded sense 702 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: of kindness and empathy and sympathy. I mean we all 703 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 1: live in we live in l l A. I mean 704 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: they are homeless encampments on every corner. How many times 705 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,439 Speaker 1: a day do you go there? But for the grace 706 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: of God? Um? And so when I was diagnosed, the 707 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: first thing it was kind of go, wow, that's a 708 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: little bit of a surprise. UM. And it wasn't about 709 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: why me, Oh my God and the boys that why 710 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: why the not me? Do you think anybody wants this? 711 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: Of course not um, but now and of course it 712 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: was a little bit frightening. Um. It was. The treatment 713 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: was very difficult for obvious reasons that the radiation you know, 714 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: kind of tears up your throat, your your mouth. But 715 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: now that I'm through it, I have an important story. 716 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: Not because I'm an actor with throat cancer, but because 717 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 1: I I'm U a guy whose instrument, as you suggested, 718 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: was in uh pretty you know, it was pretty dire 719 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: danger there for a while uh, but not only did 720 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: I survive it, and I'm different, Rob two point oh 721 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: is different. I lost fifty pounds that I didn't have 722 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: to lose. I couldn't taste frud for I don't know 723 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: about three years. Um.

So now when I have the great good 726 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,800 Speaker 1: fortune of being on with people like you who asked 727 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: me about it, we'd never know, you, guys, when somebody's 728 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: gonna be watching this terrific show and say, hey, man, 729 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 1: I was watching Christy and Will the other day and 730 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 1: there was this by Ron Pullman. I don't know if 731 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 1: that was his name was, But it turns out the guy, uh, 732 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: you know as cartoons and this person watching may have 733 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: a loved one who's going through the same thing.

So now not only have I 744 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: been beyond fortunately to make a living doing essentially what 745 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 1: got me in trouble in seventh grade, um, I now 746 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: have a story with which I can help people. And 747 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 1: it is not about whether or not they buy an 748 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: autograph or buy an action figure. It's a It's a 749 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: pure human exchange of information. Uh. And when I say 750 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: to somebody either I do have the opportunity to talk 751 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 1: to a lot of people about it, do a lot 752 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,399 Speaker 1: of engagements. Um. And so whether I'm holding somebody's hand 753 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: literally or figuredily and speaking about our mutual experiences, and 754 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,920 Speaker 1: I say, man, I get it, I get it. And 755 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,320 Speaker 1: that is a big deal when you're able to say 756 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: to somebody with utter authenticity, I really know what you're 757 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: going through. Because I don't know what a homeless family 758 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 1: is going through. I never will. I can give them 759 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 1: all the money I've got. But when I say, God, 760 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, No, you don't. And it 761 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it's you don't want to stop being 762 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 1: empathic and sympathetic, but if you're able to say you 763 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 1: know with utter certainty, you're just another human. You're not 764 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: a doctor, but you know what the struggle is like. 765 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: That's a really important part of my life now. And 766 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 1: it turns out that that cancer experience for me had 767 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,959 Speaker 1: a platinum lining. So I'm really grateful that you asked 768 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,280 Speaker 1: you about that's the platinum lining. What is the platinum 769 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: lining up? The fact that I'm able to talk about 770 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,399 Speaker 1: it and that I not only can do my job, 771 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:22,720 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you very quickly, Um, it was pretty 772 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 1: difficult because of it was eight weeks of radiation or 773 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of chemo and all that. Um. But we 774 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: are enjoying a renaissance of Animaniacs. We got to do 775 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 1: a reboot of Animaniacs, and so there's a lot of 776 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: music in those shows. And I'm a singer before anything. 777 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 1: The reason I got the gig on Animaniacs was I'm 778 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: a singer. And and so I remember on the new 779 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: New Bunch that we've done for hul we started, they 780 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,800 Speaker 1: dropped in two thousand and we're recording in two thousand nineteen. 781 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: And my cancer it was in two thousand sixty. Um, 782 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: and I remember the first song I got to sing 783 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: for animaniacs. Um, it was a little bit uh, it 784 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 1: was a little bit off putting. I jumped into it. 785 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 1: I was prepared, but still I haven't done anything. I 786 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 1: got done with my treatment and when I got to 787 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 1: the song, it was a remarkable experience that I won't forget. 788 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,799 Speaker 1: It was like, it was like, Okay, this is my 789 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 1: trial by fire. This is these people love me. Ah, 790 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 1: they will do anything to help me, but it's a business. 791 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 1: And I told them right from the beginning. I said, look, man, 792 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: I'm not a hero, but I am. I am logical 793 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 1: and I'm rational. I know you love me. I know 794 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna do everything you can to wait till I 795 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: get better. Great, But if you can't, or if I 796 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: come back and you listen to stuff and you go 797 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: back and put it together, and you said, Jesus Christ, 798 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: how do we tell him that we love him? But 799 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 1: you might have to get somebody to sink for him, 800 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: or or maybe you know, recast and we'll do it. 801 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: It's not the end of the world. I'm alive it. 802 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 1: You guys have nothing to prove to me. You this 803 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: is a business. You didn't ask me to get the cancer. 804 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,280 Speaker 1: I didn't ask for it, nobody wants it, so please. 805 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate that you are concerned about how this lands 806 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 1: on me. But I'm a big boy, and you guys 807 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do. So when I got 808 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,479 Speaker 1: through it and they used it, and they used all 809 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,320 Speaker 1: the music, I did, all this thing, I've done it, 810 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,399 Speaker 1: it was a remarkable time to just take a break 811 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: and say, wow, thank God for cutting edge medicine. But 812 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: also over and above that um my podcast on which 813 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: was so kind to be a part, I ended every episode. 814 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,359 Speaker 1: I say, laugh is the best medicine. The cool thing 815 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 1: is you can't ode and the refills are free. And 816 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm telling you what it's that God's honest truth. The 817 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: the ability to laugh at myself. Um two, uh, find 818 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: ways to laugh at the parts that were kind of dark, 819 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: make fun of myself when I looked, you know, just 820 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: like like a skeleton with a little bit of skin 821 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 1: all written. I mean, does not everybody works that way? 822 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 1: That worked for me. And the joy that all these 823 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: characters that I've been so lucky to perform over the years, 824 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: all right, it's right in here. And so I call 825 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 1: up Pinky and call up Jacko and all the other knuckleheads, 826 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 1: Carl Wheezer and all that, and it just it just 827 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: helped me get through that madness. So that's why it's 828 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 1: the platinum lining. And that's why Christie, I'm so grateful 829 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 1: that you guys let me ramble on about it. It's 830 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,839 Speaker 1: a big deal for me. It's amazing. And now you're 831 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: helping other people who are who are dealing with the 832 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: same thing. That is pretty incredible. Yeah, there's uh one 833 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,959 Speaker 1: of my my favorite uh anecdotes very quickly about something 834 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: like that is exactly what we're talking about. Where a 835 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 1: man falls into a hole and he's down there and 836 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: and people are walking over him, and he sees a 837 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: police officer and he says, officer, you gotta help me, 838 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: I've fallen in the hole. And the officer throws him 839 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 1: a pair of cuffs and says, don't worry. If somebody 840 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 1: somebody comes at you can arrest him. And then the 841 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 1: doctor walks by and and he says, doc, you gotta 842 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:19,840 Speaker 1: help me. I've fallen into a hole. Please help me. 843 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 1: And the doctor writes some prescription and throws it down 844 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,719 Speaker 1: the hole and walks by, and he sees his best 845 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 1: friend walk by, and he says, it's you. You gotta 846 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: help me, And the guy jumps in the hole with 847 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 1: him and he says, what are you What are you 848 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:30,839 Speaker 1: doing now? We're both down here, and he says, yeah, 849 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: but I've been here before and I know the way out. 850 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,879 Speaker 1: So there's that. That is one of my favorite anecdotes ever. 851 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: And it's that same kind of kind of thing. So 852 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: I had a bunch of questions for you. I don't 853 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 1: even want to ask him anymore because that I want 854 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: to end right there. It was no, it's perfect. There 855 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 1: is one question that we ask everybody, and there's only 856 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 1: one question that I want to know, and that's and 857 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 1: I don't think you're even gonna be able to answer 858 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 1: this because you've been everybody. One character you haven't played 859 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 1: that you want to, any character you want, who would 860 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 1: you pick? I really like every after. I really would 861 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 1: love to get a crack at the joker. I just 862 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 1: I think, And you know why, I think because uh 863 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 1: Mark has set the bar so high that I love 864 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: a challenge and I would love to come up with 865 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: something that was different but interesting. Um and my like 866 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned, my son is thirty eight is in the 867 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 1: video game business. And I remember Mark and Kevin are 868 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 1: both dear friends. I know you know those guys, and 869 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:40,399 Speaker 1: um uh, my son loves the Batman franchise. And he said, 870 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm telling you what. I love the Chris Nolan movies. 871 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: I love Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, all that stuff. I 872 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:50,320 Speaker 1: love watching it. I love the whole mythos of Batman. 873 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you what this is after you met 874 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: Kevin Conroy and he said, there is no doubt that 875 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 1: if I had to watch one version the rest of 876 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 1: my life, I easily watch the animated series forever and 877 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 1: never looked back. His Batman is Kevin and his joker 878 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: is Mark. And I love that character because it's so rich. 879 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 1: But I don't know that I have said that had 880 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 1: I never heard Mark doing it. Mark just killed it 881 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: so much that I kind of want to go, well, 882 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,919 Speaker 1: I don't expect it to be better. That's a very 883 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,400 Speaker 1: subjective thing, but I would love the challenge of coming 884 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 1: up my own version because I've just been so transfixed 885 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 1: by Marx. You know it's pretty cool. I think, Okay, 886 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 1: that's great. Well, yeah that we we get that a lot, 887 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,760 Speaker 1: and I think that is the character that everybody seems 888 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,759 Speaker 1: to want to tackle is the joker, So we love 889 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:55,799 Speaker 1: that we have our voice over actor with us.

Just 1073 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: uh I remember when Animanias was coming along and I 1074 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,280 Speaker 1: got the job, there was obviously music that was a 1075 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:32,040 Speaker 1: big part of it. Um So I had never met 1076 01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 1: Randy Rogal, who wrote most of the songs that you 1077 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 1: guys know from Animanias, including Yako's World. But what people 1078 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:43,800 Speaker 1: don't know is that Jacko's World was the song that 1079 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 1: Randy Rogal dave two Warner Brothers as his audition piece. 1080 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 1: He wrote that song when they said all right, well 1081 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,400 Speaker 1: what have you got?
