1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Every character has a life story. Even if it's a

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: stormtrooper with a thirty second lifespan, you have to imagine

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: that they've had a whole life before that moment that

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: you see them on screen. And so not only are

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: their mannerism is going to be a little bit different,

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: their phrasing is going to be a little bit different,

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: their movements, whether you know we're just voicing that or not,

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: there's going to be some differentiation there because they're different

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: people with different stories.

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, welcome to the Pod of Rebellion. My name

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,400

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,080

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 5: going over episodes such and such, but today is not

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 5: that day. This is an episode that I feel like

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 5: a lot of you have been waiting for. This person

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 5: does not need much of an introduction, But even if

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 5: I gave this person an introduction. It would probably take

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 5: two hours because of how prolific their career and their

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 5: life is. Guinness World Record most prolific video game voice

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 5: Voice of a Generation. There's so many great accolades I

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 5: could tie this person, but above that, this person is

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 5: a dear friend to all of us, and I'm going

28
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 5: to throw it to this person so they can give

29
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 5: their official Potter Rebellion introduction.

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,360

Speaker 6: Yay?

00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 7: Yes, sound of one hand clapping.

Speaker 5: Right on the Simpsons episode right, it's right there, We're

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,240

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 5: is what we're gonna call it, but it's also return

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 5: of Steve Bloom. I'm so happy you're here because over

42
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 5: the past eight episodes were so Taylor, Tia, and Vanessa

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 5: have been shared with me so many stories of in

44
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 5: the booth and everything, and they, of course her name

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 5: came up a bunch. Freddy's name came up a bunch.

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 5: I can't wait to just hear some of your memories.

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 5: And I guess that's where we can jump off with.

48
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 5: Let's start at the beginning of when you first met

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 5: these three amazing humans in the booth and was there

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 5: a point where you knew, oh, we have something special here,

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 5: Because for me as a viewer, I knew from the

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 5: first frame you all were together that we had something special.

53
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 5: But I'm curious of your point of view, and then

54
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: all of you can weigh in on that.

55
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like meeting my family for the first time. Honestly,

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: thanks to the genius casting that they did behind the

57
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: scenes for all of us, they matched our personality so

58
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: well to these characters. There was no effort at all.

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: It really felt like the these people have been my

60
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: family my whole life, and I was just so grateful

61
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: that they took a big, old stupid gamble on me

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: and brought me into the room with them. But man,

63
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: this is one of the few casts that I've actually

64
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: stayed in touch with also, and I love these people.

65
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't see them frequently enough, But yeah, I think

66
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: walking into that room was such a pleasant surprise for

67
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: the first time because we all started out separately doing

68
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: our little shorts. I was in England at the time

69
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: doing mine at a Transformers convention. It was all very

70
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: surreal for me. I didn't really believe I was in

71
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: a Star Wars show. I've been working on Star Wars

72
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: games forever, but this was my first real Star Wars show.

73
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: So walking into that room it became visceral really fast.

74
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: And Dave coming in and being the ringleader and kind

75
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: of introducing us to our own characters and to the

76
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: other characters immediately tied us together as a family. I

77
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: felt an immediate fondness for these guys. Yes I'm saying

78
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: it out loud. Don't tell Freddy, Please, don't tell Frick. Yeah,

79
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: but it was just one of those things where it

80
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: was effortless is the best word I can use to

81
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: describe it, because everybody fit the role so well and

82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: and fit the personalities of these familial relationships so easily too.

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: So you know from the first moment, especially with Taylor,

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: where you know it's like a toll big brother.

85
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 8: Can I say.

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: To the point where you know, he was just a

87
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: pest at first to me, but he became my brother

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: and we didn't go through the past part because I

89
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: loved him immediately. Sorry Taylor, But but and Vanessa I've

90
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: known forever and she's my sister, always has been te

91
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: oh my god, this goddess walks into the room.

92
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 7: And yep, I go, oh my god. I got to

93
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 7: play in the same way with her. So yeah, it

94
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 7: was incredible from day one.

95
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: Steve, if I could blush, I would be blushing. I'm

96
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: glad you said that. Mean well, sorry, no.

97
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 6: Not that far, because yeah, you can catch that check now.

98
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: I just meant I'm glad you said that it felt

99
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: effortless because you're right, like it just it has always

100
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: felt so easy, and maybe that's why we have remained

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: close friends ever since. It has as we've been talking

102
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: about for eight episodes or something like that. You know,

103
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: it's been a while, and it doesn't even feel like

104
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: this was eleven years ago that we started. How can

105
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: that pos I was only five years old. Taylor was

106
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: a zygo So I think that, yes, you're right, you

107
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 3: reminded me it did. It did feel effortless, and it

108
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: has ever since, and that's probably why it's so easy

109
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 3: for us to stay close and in time be you know,

110
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: continue our relationship far after, long after the show's ended.

111
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 4: Can I say so, admit to something that I completely

112
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 4: completely forgot until right now. Early on, I remember telling

113
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 4: my friends and I told my parents. I had done

114
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: a few shows before where you're a regular on it,

115
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: and in a live actually show, you're there every day,

116
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 4: so like you're there seven am to seven pm every

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 4: day with everyone, and so you naturally you didn't even

118
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 4: see anyone else.

119
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 8: And we started the show.

120
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 4: After like the first like five episodes, I told my

121
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 4: mom was like, oh, this is a shame, Like I

122
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 4: really like everyone, but we only see each other once

123
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 4: a week, once every two weeks. And I was like,

124
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: I don't think we're gonna get close. I literally said this,

125
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: and I said this to my friends. I was like,

126
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 4: I just wish that this was like other shows where

127
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: I was with them every day and we could bond.

128
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 4: And I was like really sad about this. I was like, oh, well,

129
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 4: I don't know how close, like how much of myself

130
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 4: to give, and like I was so confused with it.

131
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 4: And then after a season, I was like, oh, it's

132
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 4: still gonna happen, Like this is amazing and in fact,

133
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 4: like even closer than and other shows where I was like, oh,

134
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 4: it's not necessarily the time spent together. It's like how

135
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: you're spending the time together, and.

136
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 8: You bringing that up.

137
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: It was so so easy and seamless. But I remember

138
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: being genuinely worried, like I don't know if I'm going

139
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: to like really get to bond with everyone and like

140
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: how much I can share my personal life and this

141
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: and that, and so I love all you guys, and

142
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: it's been beautiful that this is ten years on and

143
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: look at it.

144
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I realized it.

145
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 7: Was that long. Wow.

146
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: When we were at the San Diego Comic Con, you know,

147
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: of course Tia and I were granted access to the

148
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: Mando MRK community with helmets and paintbrush. I mean, we

149
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: were sobbing that night. I remember that first party. But

150
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: the next day, I believe we went to like ten

151
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: thousand press junkets, one of which was on a boat

152
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: and then there was another. There was another like Entertainment

153
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: Weekly photo and we did kind of like a Charlie's

154
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: Angels pose together and there's a picture of the two

155
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: of us, and I think Mary Elizabeth was in the

156
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: picture too, where we're we're about to get on this boat.

157
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: I mean, the whole thing. I've never known such panemonium

158
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: in my life. Like you guys are on camera people,

159
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: you probably are used to the whole red carpet that

160
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: da dada. At that point I felt like, oh, okay,

161
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: I see where we're going with this. Like I mean,

162
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: I felt close to you instantly, and the way that

163
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: I sort of became like space mom for real, you know,

164
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: feeding people and whatever else, like our personalities definitely, I

165
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: mean T and I talking about New York Giants scores

166
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: all the time and this and that. Like, But for me,

167
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: when we were in San Diego together and I remember

168
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: by the end of the day we found a pretzel

169
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: vendor and we basically got like eight pretzels and we

170
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: were like wow because we were so starving to death.

171
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: But it was only at that point that I felt

172
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: I felt, oh, this is this is forever, meaning us

173
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: as a group as a unit, that we hanged tough,

174
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: we go without food, we do the grind, we sold on,

175
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: we you know, posed for the picture. It was for

176
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: me that was a next level experience and still to

177
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: this day, the headshot that I use is when we

178
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: went to the IGN interview. The woman took a picture

179
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: of me that day, and it's like the best picture

180
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: of the really kid. Yeah, and I think her name

181
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: was her first name, Cherry. I have to look it up.

182
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: But I reached out to her because somehow I saw

183
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: it in the IGN stuff and I said, may I

184
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: have access to this photo? And she gave me rights

185
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: to use it and it's on my website. And I mean,

186
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: granted that's ten years ago. I may need to like

187
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: refresh and get real with myself, but hey, what's up,

188
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: space mom? You know hot space mom. It's hard to

189
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: say I may even go with my mullet shot as

190
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: my new headshot. But I mean, I know you can

195
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: special weekend where I kind of felt like, oh, this

196
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: isn't like a passing thing.

197
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,000

00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 8: To you, but I didn't.

200
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 4: Really I'm jumping at the I've never you don't really

00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 4: it's stupid, that's crazy, that's unbelievable.

207
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 7: It's quantity not quality.

208
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, that is. I mean, it doesn't even surprise me.

209
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: But I'm like, how is there enough time to do that?

210
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,840

00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 8: Puts. I want to dive into multiple things that I

216
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 8: wrote down.

217
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: But I also, because I know you your whole past

218
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: as a sexy musician, I'm playing that.

219
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 8: I always loved those stories that you would share.

220
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 7: Oh god, dude, it's so scary.

221
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: I actually reached out to the guy I used to

222
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: play with years ago and he sent me some audio

223
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: from some of the stuff that we used to do.

224
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 7: It was terrible. Oh my god, it was no, it

225
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 7: was bad. It was really bad. But yeah, we were

226
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 7: playing the whole circuit in Hollywood. We did the Troubadour

227
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 7: was our home. We were there every week we played

228
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 7: he played.

229
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 3: Did you play Rainbow Room? I feel like you told me.

230
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Well, Rainbow Room is a different thing. Rainbow Room was above?

231
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: Oh god, what was that above? It was there was

232
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: a club there. Yeah, and Rainbow Room is actually above

233
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: that's where the demons go to hang.

234
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 7: So that's it's like the after party room. The Rainbow

235
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 7: Room is the after party room.

236
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: So you go up there and all the demons are

237
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: hanging by their feet and dripping.

238
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh god, what was that? It was the Rock.

239
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: Now, it wasn't the Roxy. We did play the Roxy,

240
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: but it was. It was like near Gazaaris are one

241
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: of those clubs you know.

242
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: Well the rocksy in the Rainbow Room share a parking lot.

243
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 7: Now, so that's what it was.

244
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 4: Yes, Roxy is right next because we would go from

245
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 4: the Rainbow to then there's a place called on the Rocks,

246
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 4: which is the place above the Roxy, which that place.

247
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 8: That that's going to be part of Rebellion after Dark.

248
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: Mullets mullets only, Mullets only for entrance, Yes, below the.

249
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 8: Waist, Yes, let's go. I'm telling you. Every session was

250
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 8: more faun with steep it.

251
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: I know.

252
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 7: We all have.

253
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: There's there's a shirt that has a story, well, the

254
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: space momming as you do. When people's stomachs would growl,

255
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: I would say, I'll be right back, and I would

256
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: go get them a banana, because that's sort of the

257
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: tried and true. You put one of those in your gut,

258
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: that sound stops immediately. So I would go in the kitchen.

259
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: I would grab snacks. Plus, of course, my endless bag

260
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: of treats, like my purse had jerky keto, snacks, nuts,

261
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: you name it. But I didn't carry bananas. So but anyway,

262
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: so Steve texts me this hilarious gift of a stormtrooper

263
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: with a banana for a gun, given their aim is

264
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: so true, you know, and I decide, you know what,

265
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna make t shirts out of that,

266
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: and that'll be like a thing. And I was giving

267
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: them out for free to fans. And there are people

268
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: and so if you do have a I think you

269
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: guys are known as the potassium Troopers.

270
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 8: Right, So.

271
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: That's no, No, there's a six is it?

272
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 8: Six?

273
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 9: One?

274
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: Seven?

275
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 2: The folks up six months? What's this area code for Toronto?

276
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 6: No?

277
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: Six one. Seven is Boston.

278
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: There's six. It's the six because says.

279
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: Exactly so with all the dudes in a lot of

280
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: the dudes in Toronto they represent with their Potassium Trooper shirts,

281
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: and when I go to these events, they show up

282
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: with them. But the backstory is that Steve found this,

283
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: but I didn't want to print it without getting the

284
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: express permission of the artist. And Stephen Quick is a

285
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: lovely gentleman who.

286
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 9: Lives in the UK, and he's like, not only will

287
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 9: I let you use that image, but then he painted

288
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 9: Hara with a banana that is right up there, but

289
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 9: you can't see.

290
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: I don't know how to show you the Hara banana pick.

291
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: I'll have to post it on socials.

292
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: We'll cut it in because we're going to make this

293
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 5: a social clip so people can see what we're talking

294
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: about it.

295
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 8: We'll cut that in.

296
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: Well.

297
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: I hope that that those of you with your Potassium

298
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: Trooper shirts will represent in the replies to the social

299
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: post here. But we have Uncle Steve to thank for

300
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: this whole thing. I love you, Steve.

301
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,080

304
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 7: That's so weird. But the things that I influence are

305
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 7: the scary scary part.

306
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Steve, I got this tattoo because of you.

307
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 8: I remember I shaved the area so you could get it.

308
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Well.

309
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: Thanks.

310
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 5: So you see a lot of Toronto Storm Troopers won't

311
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 5: be getting cramps in their and their calves or their hamstrings.

312
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: So that's just the positive influence people in Florida. There's

313
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: all kinds of I mean, I printed a ton of shirts.

314
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: The Kevin Weir who was in the five oh first

315
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: the La Garrison. Kevin Weir worked with you know, he

316
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: he fitted all the gear for all the troops here,

317
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: and he's like, oh, well a friend of mine has

318
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: a T shirt company. I can print how many do

319
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: you want? And so I had this massive box and

320
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: I would just take them to conventions and give them

321
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: to people, or I would do giveaways on uh that

322
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: thing Twitter that's formerly known as but we would do

323
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: giveaways on that. And then we also had those fruity

324
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: pebble t shirts the Rebels. Yeah, we had we had

325
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: a lot of We had a lot of swag although yeah,

326
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: not licensed sorry apologies, apologies, not not licensed. Well, that's

327
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: the thing.

328
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 4: Outside of Rebels of I mean eight eighty five. I

329
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 4: don't know how you choose what is your favorite. I'm

330
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: still curious about what is your favorite project or character?

331
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 7: How do you choose? Dude?

332
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 8: That's why projects.

333
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 7: It depends on the week.

334
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: There's probably more than that too, because I did years

335
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: and years of anime too that I wasn't even credited on.

336
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 7: I don't I don't know.

337
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 8: It's hard to say. It's week to week.

338
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: It's different like some weeks when I just worked on

339
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: Transformers one recently, so Transfers was my favorite. Again, so

340
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: cool because I played Starscream and Transformers Prime and a

341
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: few other projects.

342
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 7: I don't know.

343
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,239
Speaker 1: Cowboy Bebopa still lives on and go to conventions. It's

344
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: still just as popular now as it ever it was,

345
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: maybe even more so, which is crazy to meet twenty

346
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: five years ago, which led me to meet the lady

347
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 1: who is now my wife, Mary Elizabeth mc govern our

348
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: own governor Price. So Bebop is president in my house

349
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: all the time. That's actually from Bebop. That's my voice

350
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: from Spike's last word in Bebop. That's the word bang.

351
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: That's the audio file.

352
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 8: Force I have that one too, but a little bit

353
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 8: of a different image.

354
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 5: Right, Well, once again, pot of Rebellion. After dark, We're

355
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 5: going to have a whole deep dive into Taylor's Sleep

356
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 5: of tattoos.

357
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: Steep reel talk. Who's your favorite past mates? Let's be real, Kenny,

358
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: Oh god, I.

359
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 7: You I just wanted myself. I don't know.

360
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 3: No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Eight hundred plus, I mean

361
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty what was it?

362
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 4: Eighty five is what i's this morning.

363
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: That's literally like five lifetimes of work, more more than

364
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: five lifetime.

365
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: So well, the thing is, though, I've had conversations with

366
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: Freddie about this, that you know, when you're on camera,

367
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: you guys make a lot more money than we do.

368
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: So like twenty six episodes of Cowboy Bebop and a movie,

369
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: I made less than one episode of Rebels, So what Yeah,

370
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: so we got to literally work by quantity. And all

371
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: the video games that I did most probably most of

372
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: my credits, at least half of my credits I think

373
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: are video games have been like over four hundred video games.

374
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: There's no residuals on that, and most of them were

375
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: at scale. So you know, just to make a living.

376
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: I had to keep going constantly, and it's it's a

377
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: constant hustle. So you know, part of it is just

378
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: it's a numbers game and you got to just keep

379
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: working saying yes to the exercise every time.

380
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 5: You know, that's a great thing to bring up because

381
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 5: people I see those credits, and because the perception, unfortunately,

382
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 5: is there's this unilateral perception if you're in the entertainment industry,

383
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 5: whether you are number one the call sheet one hundred

384
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 5: million dollar movie, or if you're just on that movie

385
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 5: as like a day player, people think you're just like loaded.

386
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, you're in this movie that made a

387
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 5: hundred million dollars, you must be doing great. And I'm

388
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 5: so glad you brought that up, Steve, because we brought

389
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 5: that up a little bit here on the podcast too.

390
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 8: We do talk about episodes, but we do.

391
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 5: Talk about that very thing where one me, I can

392
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 5: speak very objectively. I wasn't on the show. I happen

393
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 5: to love you all very much as humans, but I

394
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 5: wasn't on the show. You know, voice acting gets pegged

395
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 5: is like a lesser form of acting by certain people,

396
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 5: but in so many ways from where I'm sitting it's

397
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 5: so much more difficult, just like there's difficulties to be

398
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 5: on camera, just like there's difficulties to be on stage

399
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: on Broadway to try to win a Tony Award, And

400
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 5: it's just unfortunate that that's the case. Eight hundred eighty credits.

401
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 5: But most of those, it's not like you're a billionaire

402
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 5: because you did eight hundred eighty credits. It's like you're saying,

403
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 5: it's mostly I got a necessity you got to do.

404
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 5: That's keep the bills paid. Yeah, I would do.

405
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: Five episodes for one hundred and twenty dollars so with

406
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: no results.

407
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, back in the day.

408
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 8: This is why we have bought I Get you Own Hawaii.

409
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 8: Well he does, but he got there eventually. I mean,

410
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 8: Vanessa knows what this is.

411
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: Like.

412
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: We've been in the trenches together for years, and I

413
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: worked with Vanessa on you know, really good projects that

414
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: we did get residuous for mostly Yeah, so we were

415
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: lucky enough to work together on those. But even those,

416
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: the pay rate is so much less than other things.

417
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: And like, yeah, it's interesting, like Young Justice, Spectacular, Spider Man,

418
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 2: those things, But then you cut to now things that

419
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: are streaming on Netflix, and this and that it gets

420
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: even smaller it does.

421
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, we get it's just crazy.

422
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: If anyone out there wonders why actors go on strike

423
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 3: or feel like they have to go on strike, this

424
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: is a pretty big part of why we have to strike.

425
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially now with AI and they're stealing our voices

426
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: and they want to use that indefinitely and not bas

427
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: at all. So yeah, whatever living we were able to

428
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: make before is in jeopardy unless we stand up right.

429
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, See, Steve, I.

430
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 7: Have a question down the room, didn't it.

431
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 8: Well, let's bring it back up.

432
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 5: And this is a question that I'm going to throw

433
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 5: to Steve, but I want to also throw it to

434
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 5: the three of you as well, Tia, Taylor, and Vanessa. So, Steve,

435
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 5: I remember reading an interview of yours from like twenty seventeen,

436
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 5: and this is around like when we first met, when

437
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: we started doing the YouTube channel with Freddy and everything,

438
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 5: and I remember when you talked about how you were

439
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 5: always like Stormtrooper one through three on video games and

440
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 5: how you got to find your own voice because legacy

441
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 5: characters are usually just taken by people that are much

442
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 5: higher on the food chain for whatever reason. But you

443
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 5: said you always found a way to individualize Stormtoper one,

444
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 5: Stormtroper two, Stormtrooper three. I would love for you to

445
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 5: get insight into what that is for you, what that's

446
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 5: like for you, And then Tia Taylor, Vanessa you three,

447
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 5: I've done some much very prolific work on your own two.

448
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: How do you find your individual voices from project to

449
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 5: project or from voice.

450
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 7: Boys A great question.

451
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: Wow, Well, most of the time that I've played Stormtroopers,

452
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: I would cross it out no matter what it said,

453
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: and just changes to Stormtrooper number three. Because it's sort

454
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: of a running joke because in the video games, I

455
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: did a lot of video games before Rebels and played

456
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: a ton of Stormtroopers, and they're basically three of us

457
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: who voiced all of the Stormtroopers in those games, and

458
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: so I always called myself Stormtrooper number three, so I

459
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: didn't want to be number one. So that said, and

460
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: I tell my students this all the time, that every

461
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: character has a life story. Even if it's a Stormtrooper

462
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: with a thirty second lifespan, you have to imagine that

463
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: they've had a whole life before that moment that you

464
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: see them on screen. And so not only are their

465
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: mannerism is going to be a little bit different. Their

466
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: phrasing is going to be a little bit different, their movements,

467
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: whether you know we're just voicing that or not, there's

468
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: going to be some differentiation there because they're different people

469
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: with different stories. So I've always tried to create a

470
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: backstory for every character, even if they only have a

471
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: few moments to live. You know, I just I think

472
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: about what memories they might have, what got them there,

473
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, what led them to the empire? Were they

474
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: taken as children and forced into it or did they

475
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: do it willingly? All that crap goes through my mind

476
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: for a fleeting second, and then you have to make

477
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: that choice and jump in and do it. But it's

478
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: become sort of automated over the years too, because in

479
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: the early days, really an anime is where it began,

480
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: where we didn't have the script until we walked into

481
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: the room, right and though it was voiced before by

482
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: the Japanese artists, we had to put our own stamp

483
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: on it, and we had no prep time at all,

484
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: So we had to come in with a point of

485
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: view for every character, and even Stormtroopers deserve that love.

486
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 8: I love it.

487
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things Steve. We've been rewatching obviously

488
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 3: for this podcast, and I hadn't seen any of these

489
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: episodes for you know, ten years since they came out,

490
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 3: and I've been just delighted and amused that one of

491
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 3: the like easter eggs for me rewatching has been trying

492
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 3: to pick out all of the voices that are yours.

493
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys are doing this as well,

494
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: because of course they're all different, they're all unique. They're

495
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 3: all you know, layered and interesting, and they have accents

496
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: or they don't. And but I always know when it's you.

497
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: I think there's probably some more in there that I

498
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 3: didn't even realize for you. But every time I'm like, oh,

499
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: it's deep. It's just a fun little Yeah, it's a

500
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 3: fun little easter eggs that I you know, and also

501
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 3: your voice is sprinkled all throughout the show like much

502
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 3: more than just zeb But it's a fun little game

503
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: I play when I'm rewatching it.

504
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 7: Hopefully it's not a drinking game.

505
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that on the after Dark.

506
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 8: After Dark.

507
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 3: Vanessa had that drinking game for us.

508
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 8: Yeah.

509
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: I came up with one that every time Harris says

510
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: hang on, which is like a thousand times.

511
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that there you go, it's Taylor's already playing.

512
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 8: I mean, right, hang on, how for you, Steve?

513
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 4: Was I really and I've said this for I don't

514
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: have much to go off of, Like my comparisons are

515
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: in a different world of this. And the only other

516
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 4: animated thing I think I've done was with Mary Elizabeth

517
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 4: actually she directed me. Oh but outside of that, Like,

518
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 4: how how is Rebels different than other projects? Because for me,

519
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 4: I thought you always recorded together. I thought you heard

520
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 4: the line before, you heard the line after, And then

521
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 4: when I did the one with Mary Elizabeth, I was

522
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 4: so confused. I was like, well, how did they say

523
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 4: the line to me?

524
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 8: You know what I mean?

525
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 4: But because I'm just thinking of your the scope that

526
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 4: you can look at things with so many different projects,

527
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: like how is Rebels different to you?

528
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: Well, for the first half of my career, I worked

529
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. For anime, we work alone, and a

530
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: lot of most video games too, we work alone. So

531
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: getting to work on a prelay show like Rebels in

532
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: the first place is just a lot more fun because

533
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: we do get that back and forth banter we get

534
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: to play. But it was so different for me because

535
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: there was so much interactivity with the writers, with Dave,

536
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: the people behind the scenes, We got to know them.

537
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 7: I never get that luxury.

538
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: So when David would come into the room and he'd

539
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: basically lay everything out for us and give us the

540
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: full scope and you know what he's trying to express,

541
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, with his view on life, even we didn't

542
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: get that on any other show. I'm the only other

543
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: show that I can equate that to was Wolverine and

544
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: the X Men, where the the producer of that show

545
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 1: would come to the room and scream at us and

546
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: just say, you.

547
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 8: Don't understand, You're all gonna die.

548
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: And we were good friends with him too, and it

549
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: was fun, but it wasn't like that with Rebels. David

550
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: would sometimes in a four hour session, he would eat

551
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: up an hour of it just talking with us and

552
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: making sure that we really understood the context of what

553
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: we were doing and the stakes too, so that I

554
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: feel like it increased the gravity of the show tremendously

555
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: for me when we had that background for it, and

556
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: also that direct interaction with the creators of the show too,

557
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: the writer's producers, everybody who was in that room. Sam

558
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: working in the background yeah.

559
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: The first session that we had Ezra had not been

560
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: cast yet. You were in Manchester, in a closet somewhere,

561
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: or whoever you were in the UK, Birmingham you were,

562
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: you know, you were some nice person gave you their

563
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: closet to do the session. But I'm in there.

564
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, close to the truth. I can elaborate on that

565
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 7: if you want that.

566
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 9: Well.

567
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, I thought you were like, oh, I

568
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: have session and someone nearby charitably gave you their studio

569
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: near the event.

570
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 8: Is that right?

571
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: I was a Transformers convention and they sent me. They

572
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: put me in a cab and they sent me out

573
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: to the country and there was this like world class

574
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: studio owner. Oh, I didn't want to go into his studio.

575
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: He had a studio in London and one in Birmingham,

576
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: I think, and he didn't want to go into his studio,

577
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: but he had a home studio. So I went into

578
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: his home studio and it was like mon pockhettl These

579
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: these old sweet people who let me into their house.

580
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 7: They offered me a cup of tea.

581
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: They bring me upstairs into this booth with no air conditioning,

582
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: and I'm just sweating my.

583
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: E's That's what I remember, Yeah, it was a closet booth,

584
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: for sure. We well conversely, just so we're clear, And

585
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: this is when I knew this was like another level

586
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: of sort of this is not how normal voiceover jobs go.

587
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there Tia and Freddie, and I don't know

588
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: Freddy from I've never seen his wealth of work. I

589
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: guess it's just not my demographic. I'm not I'm neither

590
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: you know, for or against. I'm sort of neutral and

591
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: respect him as a human being, of course. But I

592
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: slowly realized as that session is going on, like, oh,

593
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: this guy is a huge deal. And I mean I

594
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 2: was somewhat aware of that, but in a way we

595
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: were all strangers. But they take out this huge bible

596
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: that Okay, this is where you all sleep, this is

597
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: the living quarters, this is the area of that blah

598
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: blah blah. They gave us like this massive bible that shows,

599
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: you know, sort of all the permutations. This is your character, mad,

600
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: these are the basis of your character. Hara was originally

601
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: supposed to be a portly maternal character. She became this.

602
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: You know, I've never seen anything. I've never seen this

603
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: extensive research. Maybe it has existed for other cartoons that

604
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: we've done, Steve, but it was never shared. And this

605
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: was the as a person who likes to eat, they

606
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: ordered us lunch and it was sushi.

607
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, that was one time, just for the rest road.

608
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I understand, but I'm trying to tell

609
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: you that I never felt so respected Nie that was.

610
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: I was very touched by that that that that was

611
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: a nod to our humanity. And they were like, you know,

612
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: we have a ten year plan here. This is a

613
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: really big deal. I mean I got a sense of like,

614
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, no one's ever bought me lunch before.

615
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, every session that was well, of course.

616
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: But you're you so yeah, but that's writer. That's what

617
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: we were dealing with and trying to familiarize ourselves with.

618
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: Then I'm telling you that that never happens ever. So

619
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: it was a unique situation there. And now, okay, that

620
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: was the first day and that never happened again, as

621
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 2: it as it couldn't because no one has that in

622
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: their budget. But we were never hungry. I'm not saying

623
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: that we suffered in any way, but but I will

624
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: say that that set the tone for me that they

625
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: cared enough to show us such a bible that we

626
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: took that amount of time you're saying, so some times

627
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: he took an hour like huddling us up like sometimes yeah,

628
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: like a hockey team, you know before we hit the ice,

629
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: like he had to, you know, get with us and

630
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: give us the game plan. Equally, they did that, and

631
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: presumably had you been in Los Angeles, you would have

632
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: been there. And you know, had they figured out who

633
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: Ezra was, Ezra would have been there as well. But

634
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: that just signaled to me, this is a very special

635
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: thing that may this is as good as a cats.

636
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 8: Guys.

637
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: Two things hit me in that way really hard. First

638
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: was when d Bradley Baker came into the room and

639
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: he walked up it up to me and Dee and

640
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: I have worked together on a million projects, and he said, yeah,

641
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: I know you've worked on some big projects before, but your.

642
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 7: Life is about to change. And went yeah, okay, right,

643
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 7: sure it did.

644
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: It did, And then cut to We're we're all shuttled

645
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: off to Orlando and I'm in a parade.

646
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 8: We're all in a parade. Oh yes, convertible.

647
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: Cars with our characters on it before anybody knew who

648
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: we were. Yeah, and the line the streets and they

649
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: were cheering for us, and I was saying, what the

650
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: hell's happening here? I've never experienced anything like that since.

651
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a surreal That Star Wars Weekends was

652
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 3: a whole like a surreal experience. And same for that

653
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: first San Diego comic Con. I feel like that was like,

654
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: no one had seen a second of our show, and

655
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: yet five thousand people filled up that huge hall and

656
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: word there and enthusiastic and wonderful and welcoming and excited,

657
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: and yeah, I was like, what are they here for?

658
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 3: They don't even know the show yet. And of course

659
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 3: that was just my first inkling at what Star Wars

660
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 3: fandom is like.

661
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: But my god, it was crazy. But like you said, Vanessa,

662
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: respect was a huge thing. D and I went to

663
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: Sandy you comic con. Both of us were there for

664
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: different things. But we had a movie called The Box

665
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: Trolls that was, oh right, it was in I think

666
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: it was hall h It was a huge, huge, all

667
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: eight thousand people or something. D and I weren't even

668
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: invited to it. And we're on the cover of that.

669
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: We are the Box Strolls. We created the language and

670
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: they brought in all the on camera celebrities, but d

671
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: and I were excluded from the screening. They wouldn't even

672
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: let us into the screening for that. So that's what

673
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: you used to do, that's what we mostly get, But it

674
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: was very, very different with Lucas, and Lucas has been

675
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: great to me for my whole career with them, from

676
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: the very beginning, even the first games. Before I was

677
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: working at Star Wars Games, I worked on a couple

678
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: of Lucas's very first games, Lucasfilm's games, and even they

679
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: were really kind and really nice, and the people behind

680
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: the scenes were amazing to work with.

681
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 3: So I mean maybe Taylor and I were sort of

682
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: spoiled in that way that we just sort of showed

683
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: up not knowing what we were doing, hoping no one would.

684
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: Notice that we didn't know to do.

685
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 3: Like that was our you know, that was our first

686
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: foray into like being on a you know, being on

687
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 3: an animated show and you know, doing voiceover work, like

688
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: real legitimate voiceover work, not just like a one off.

689
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 8: Here or there.

690
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean I didn't know that what a

691
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: gift it is to get to record with your co

692
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 3: stars every single episode until I did another show and

693
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: I was like, but where is everybody? This isn't fun,

694
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 3: this doesn't feel good. Yeah, all all of that stuff

695
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: where you like take I was like, this is wonderful

696
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 3: and not knowing that how how special and out of

697
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 3: the norm.

698
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 4: A lot of that stuff was yeah, very much So

699
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 4: well so.

700
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 8: Steve, I have a question.

701
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 5: I have a question for you, kind of piggybacking on

702
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 5: how you individualize characters and extending on the question rather

703
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 5: and how you gime my backstory. I want to kind

704
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 5: of dive into your backstory a little bit again. From

705
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 5: that same interview from twenty eight seventeen, you talked about

706
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 5: some of the odd jobs you had before your voice

707
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 5: career started taking off of you. You like refilled fire extinguisher,

708
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 5: chip and nails, dances on the top. You were the

709
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 5: thunder from down Under apparently was your uh here your

710
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 5: Australian moniker, but refilling fire extinguishers working. We're working at it.

711
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 5: But we're going to have that part of the social

712
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 5: clip too. Jac's never put thing, so we're gonna have

713
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 5: it all set up. Working at a pet store, you

714
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 5: were working at Empire, I think Empire Entertainment. The people

715
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 5: who are horror fans, and I'm a huge, huge horror fan.

716
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 5: Empire Entertainment made movies like The Reanimator and Gholies and

717
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 5: Goolies is that movie where the monsters come at you,

718
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 5: like from the toilet and everything like that.

719
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 8: It's hysterical.

720
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 5: But because you have such a great appreciation for your career,

721
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 5: you never seem like you never come off entitled. You know,

722
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 5: eight hundred plus titles. Some people can come off as

723
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 5: that was that grind. I'm sure. I'm sure that grind

724
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 5: contributed to having that feeling of gratification, But also did

725
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,959
Speaker 5: any of those skill sets you got from those odd

726
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 5: jobs transfer over to those backstories to your characters of

727
00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 5: those eight hundred plus voices?

728
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: They did, and in a lot of different ways well.

729
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: Working at Empire, my first job there was as a

730
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: warehouse guy. I was moving props around, and then I

731
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: worked as a PA, so I was basically taken the

732
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: boss's dogs to go get de skunked.

733
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 7: With that.

734
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: It's crazy with a shag carpet kit in my crappy

735
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: used truck and I had to drive them forty miles

736
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: because they didn't want to go to the vet around

737
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: the corners. My truck would stink for six months. It

738
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: was that kind of stuff, making bank runs with you know,

739
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars worth of gold in my car

740
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: and I had to do it without a guard. Crazy

741
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: crazy stuff that I was doing to that company. So yeah,

742
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: that's where the gratitude came from. Also, one of my

743
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: first jobs also, I was working in the mailroom. When

744
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: you're a PA, you work in the mailroom too. One

745
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: of my very first jobs. And we were in Hollywood,

746
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: and one of my first jobs was picking up condoms

747
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: in the parking lot from the night before because it

748
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: was a hidden spot.

749
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 7: So wow, so that was pleasant. Yeah.

750
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff, plus I serviced fire equipment

751
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: in downtown LA.

752
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 7: I worked on skid row.

753
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: With junkies and unhoused people throwing up on my shoes

754
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: while I'm trying to work and working in the pet store.

755
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: I had a lot of really crazy jobs and I've

756
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: used them all. Probably the most direct job that I

757
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: had was probably in the fire service business. I used

758
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: to service fire extinguishers in downtown LA and so I

759
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: was out in the street on the curb, literally working

760
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: in the street on skid row and pouring this ABC

761
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: powder back into the extinguishers after I fire them off,

762
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: and then I clean out the insides and put them

763
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: back together and recharge them. And so I was doing

764
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: a loop group session for some movie at some point

765
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: where we were talking about fire protection equipment, and I

766
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: knew about fire protection equipment, and generally we try to

767
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: do our research before we go in for a big

768
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: looping session, and usually it's it's jargon for you know,

769
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: police calls, fire calls, airport jargon, that sort of thing.

770
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: And so we had all studied up for this thing.

771
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: But Ad and tell us there was a big scene

772
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: in a firehouse and a lot of jargon about fire equipment,

773
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: and so they said, oh god, we didn't prepare for this.

774
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: Does anybody know anything about fire equipment? I went, they

775
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: went what?

776
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 7: I went, Yeah, what do you need to know?

777
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: And they said, well, we have this thing about fire

778
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: extinguishers and nobody knows anything.

779
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 7: I know.

780
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

781
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: I came up to the microphone and I just did

782
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: this whole scene and they used all of it. And

783
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: usually all that stuff gets stuffed way down, but they

784
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: actually used all of that stuff. So there are those

785
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: kinds of moments that I never thought I'd use for

786
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: anything anywhere in my career.

787
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 7: Wow, But just the humiliation.

788
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: Of doing things like picking up condoms made me appreciate

789
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: every moment of voiceover work because even though we don't

790
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: get you know, we're not rich, but it's still so

791
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: much better than any of the other jobs that I

792
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: ever had to work with people like this, I get

793
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: to you know, I made a new family in this business,

794
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: and voiceover people are are my family now. I mean

795
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: pretty much everybody I've ever worked with I'm really good

796
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: friends with still, even you know, if I haven't seen

797
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: him in thirty years. So yeah, it's just that profound

798
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: appreciation goes a long way, but it does come up

799
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: and things come up. You know, pet store people want

800
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: to know things about pets in a looping sessions, usually

801
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: looping where that stuff really comes specialty things, office supply.

802
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: Worked in office supply. I worked at pet Boys for

803
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: three years, so I knew a lot about tires. Who

804
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: knew Yeah, So yeah, I feel like, you know, every

805
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: little piece of experience you have is usable in what

806
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: we do, whether you're on camera or not, even if

807
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: it's just an emotion, you know, you you know what

808
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: it feels like. To get a gut punch when you

809
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: know you're pumping up a tire and you get slammed

810
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: in the chest by a tool. So you know you

811
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: can try like that, you can translate that effect into

812
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: something else, so it's it's all worthwhile.

813
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 4: Deep.

814
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 3: Have you considered writing a memoir?

815
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: I tried, but I'm I got my attention is is

816
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: just so limited. I actually have about five hundred pages

817
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: of a novel that I was writing, an autobiography kind

818
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: of thing sort of that I was writing a long

819
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: time ago, and I just sort of dropped it. I

820
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: have the pages somewhere and I'll get back to it,

821
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: but I would read it back in it.

822
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 7: I just bored myself.

823
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 5: I didn't think, well, I would be first in line

824
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 5: for that. And also if you want help, like if

825
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 5: you need something like dictated for you, just tell me

826
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 5: and I'll type it up for you. Like I feel

827
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 5: like I think everybody in this room. I think everybody

828
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 5: has their story. I think you don't have to be

829
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 5: somebody who's a public figure to have a story that

830
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 5: people can relate to and something that's compelling. But your story,

831
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 5: in particular, Steve, just from you telling us service and

832
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 5: fire extinguishers. We're going to pat start picking up condoms,

833
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 5: which now I know why z that was so angry.

834
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 10: I never where that came from now though, So you

835
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 10: know springs, beck A s bring in your bringing your

836
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 10: object and smell it. God, whether rubber meets the road.

837
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 7: Literally, that is.

838
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 4: What I forgot about rebels. The amount of incredible buttons

839
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 4: on scenes that were not used that weresed by Steve

840
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 4: were incredible.

841
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 8: There were so so many.

842
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 4: If there was just a weird, any little silence at

843
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 4: the end of the scene, Steve's gonna come in with

844
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 4: something that is gold.

845
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 3: H actually noise, it might see some kind of.

846
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 8: That's what I usually did. So we're going to use

847
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 8: that on this podcast too.

848
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 5: If you're like our commercial bumper, like when we have

849
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 5: to do our ad reads, that's where we're going with

850
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 5: your permission, of course, if you.

851
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 7: Can do whatever you want. I don't care. My life is.

852
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 8: Open, open book. Well not yet.

853
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 5: We just came back to that, Yeah, so I want

854
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 5: to bring it out. We're gonna get towards the end

855
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 5: of this hopefully you come back. We hope this is

856
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 5: the first time many times to come back, because we're

857
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 5: only eight episodes. Into the series so far, and there's

858
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 5: such great arcs with zeb there's a great arc with

859
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 5: Asian Kallis, of course voiced by the great David Oyel.

860
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 5: You two had this great dynamic. Well, we're not there yet,

861
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 5: so I don't want to jump into that prematurely, but

862
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 5: you know you had alluded to sometimes you go into

863
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 5: an anime JOBB and you're just seeing you based on

864
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 5: the cold read when you're in the booth. That to me,

865
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 5: what I got for them is, Oh, working on your

866
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 5: craft outside the booth is so important. To make sure

867
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 5: your knife stays sharp, so it becomes second nature once

868
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 5: you get into the booth. That said, you do teach

869
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 5: people to hone their craft. And I would love for

870
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 5: you to talk about blum Box Studios and why you

871
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 5: started it, why you keep it going, and where people

872
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 5: can find you if they want to get a career

873
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 5: in voice.

874
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 1: Act and well, first, I want to give a shout

875
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: out to Vanessa because she was one of my early teachers,

876
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: So thank you for doing that, Honey, God so great.

877
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 2: Glenn was so incredible. She in the middle of our class.

878
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: Fox booked me on a promo and I didn't want

879
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 2: to cancel the class, So I said, let's take the

880
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: class in the booth with me so they can see

881
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 2: just how stressful it is. Because you get you get

882
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 2: three beeps and they send you the script. You totally

883
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: read it cold and hope that you do to picture,

884
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 2: and then they put it on the air. They don't

885
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 2: have time to you know, you know correct, They like,

886
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: you're I mean, you're just you're in, you're out. They

887
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 2: don't have time for the pain. So I think it

888
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: was good for them to see just how you have

889
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: to be literally ready to rock and drop everything and

890
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: uh and then but Gwen found the produced spot as well,

891
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 2: which I think is still on bloombox. So it is, yeah,

892
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 2: but it was, it was. It was really delightful. And

893
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: so many of your students are just such good human beings.

894
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 2: I've I've become friends with many of them, and they're

895
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: they're delight They're delightful humans.

896
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 7: I'm really lucky. That's why I keep doing it.

897
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: I started it by accidents, sort of at conventions. You

898
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: guys know this, You've done a bunch of conventions. Everybody

899
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: that comes up to our table always says one of

900
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 1: the first questions is how do I get into voiceover.

901
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: Everybody tells me I have a good voice, and so

902
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, you've got twelve seconds to give them an answer,

903
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 1: and it's like ah, And I would just go look

904
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: at Dee Bradley Baker's site, I want to be a

905
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: voice actor dot com. Yeah, for years, to the point

906
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: where I actually printed up cards with D's website. I'd

907
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: hand those out, have a big stack of my table,

908
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: and the people around me just kept saying, you have

909
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: to start teaching. Because you had every panel that we

910
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: did at every convention, it would become a teaching moment.

911
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: People would come up and you know, and it would

912
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: be more than just voiceover. It would be like life lessons.

913
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: And I did twenty years of of what do you

914
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: call that? The where you're trying to improve your life.

915
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: Basically I can't even think of like self help kind

916
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: of thing. Yeah, but I did twenty years of that

917
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: kind of work, and I went to therapy. I did

918
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to try to fix my life

919
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: and make it better and just get a better understanding

920
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: of why I made the choices I made and how

921
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: I can make better choices and just be more aware

922
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: of my surroundings. So those kinds of conversations would come

923
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: up at every convention over and over and over again,

924
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: and you know, it's like three hundred times a day

925
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 1: with people. So finally, my ex Trina just kept bugging

926
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: me and buggy me and bugging me to start teaching.

927
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 7: I went, all right, fine, I'll just I'll do something.

928
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: But I had to deconstruct thirty years of voiceover and

929
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: try to figure out a way to put it in

930
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, palatable chunks so that I could use this

931
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: as a curriculum for students. And I thought, that's it.

932
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm just going to do, you know, a few classes.

933
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: I'll record them by myself, and I'll just do a

934
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: little thing where it's like a little subscription that they

935
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: can get it, you know, monthly, and I'll go for

936
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: maybe a year. And that was my goal, was to

937
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: do like a year. And I was doing two classes

938
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: a month at that time, and the students started really

939
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: respect and I kept getting all these success stories from them,

940
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: and not even necessarily in voiceover, but in their lives

941
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: where they would like, our tagline is unleash your voice.

942
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: And so a lot of these people who go to

943
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: these conventions felt like that was the only place in

944
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: their life they could actually speak their mind and be

945
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: who they were, whether they were on the autistic spect

946
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: somewhere on the spectrum, or if they were trans or

947
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, somewhere on the outskirts of what, especially the

948
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: current society sees as acceptable. For that one moment or

949
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: for a couple of days at a convention, they felt

950
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: like a whole person, and they had people there who

951
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 1: would support them in that. And I thought, Okay, I'm

952
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: doing something that's much bigger than Voice over here. I'm

953
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: doing something of value, and for the first time in

954
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: my life, I felt like I was doing something of

955
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: true value. And so I kept doing it, and then

956
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: I it kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and

957
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: then I after thirty classes, I went, oh my god,

958
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm out of information. I don't know what else to teach.

959
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: So I just thought, well, I'm going to ask a

960
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: couple of my friends and see if maybe they'll come

961
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: in and they'll do a class with me. And like

962
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: Fred Tatoshow was one of the early ones, and Andrea

963
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 1: Romano and you know, people that I was just working

964
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: with at the time, and they said, yeah, sure, I'll

965
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: come over, and they just came over to my house

966
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: and my studio and we sat in there and we

967
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: just talked, and I would research them and ask them

968
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: very pointed, non fan questions that what I thought might

969
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: help my students about their struggles and their journey too,

970
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: because it's all relatable. The struggle is the most relatable part.

971
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: And here we are now. We just finished class ninety nine.

972
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: We're about to do class one hundred.

973
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 10: Oh.

974
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: I've been going for years and it is not financially sustainable.

975
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: I have we had two years where I could actually

976
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: draw a little bit of an income, but.

977
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 7: It's costing me money.

978
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: I had to put one hundred thousand dollars into the

979
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: school this year alone just to keep it.

980
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,479
Speaker 7: Because I have staff, I have people that I pay.

981
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 8: I paid them.

982
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: I try to pay them better than I was ever

983
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 1: paid my life in any job. I flew them out

984
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: here for a retreat and rented a house for them.

985
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 7: I just wanted to as a boss.

986
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 1: I've never been a boss before, and I just wanted

987
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: to treat them how I always would have loved to

988
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: have been treated.

989
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 7: So I got to do that thing. That was awesome.

990
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 1: It is not sustainable now, so I'm actually considering selling

991
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: it at some point if there's even market for this

992
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: type of thing, as everything is archived. But these stories

993
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: that they come back at me with and I see

994
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: my students also at every single convention everywhere in the world.

995
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: My students are everywhere, and whether they are past present

996
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: students or people have just signed up, they will come

997
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: up to my table and they will tell me their

998
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: story and it's and I don't get to spend that

999
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: kind of time with them in the context of the class,

1000
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: So I get to actually build these relationships with these

1001
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: people and learn from them too, and know that, you know,

1002
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: I can't really do a lot to make the world

1003
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: a better place, but I'm doing what I can, and

1004
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,760
Speaker 1: this is my way of giving back at this point.

1005
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 7: And it's super gratifying.

1006
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 4: That's beautiful, state, that's incredible.

1007
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 8: Were Steve Yes, you can find us at Bloombox Studios.

1008
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: Order now get a complete set of Ginz You Knights.

1009
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 3: You're a good Eggs, Steve.

1010
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 7: I try.

1011
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: I was rotten for the first half of my life,

1012
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: so I thought I'd boil it up and try to

1013
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: do something different.

1014
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 3: Well, for what it's worth, I do the same thing

1015
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 3: with you. And when people come up to my table

1016
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 3: or come up to me and you know, out in

1017
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 3: the real world or at cons or whatever, not that

1018
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 3: cons aren't you know what I mean, at CON's and

1019
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 3: are outside in the real world. They asked me, you know,

1020
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 3: how do I become how how can I become a

1021
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 3: voice actor? And I basically just refer them to you.

1022
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 8: And deep Brodnie Baker.

1023
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 3: Not only are you guys two of the best to

1024
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 3: do it like, and I'm not saying that because you're

1025
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 3: my friend and you're on our show. I'm saying that

1026
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 3: because I genuinely mean, like, it doesn't get better than

1027
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 3: Steve Woman Steve Bradley Baker. But also, you guys are

1028
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 3: both you just both happen to be like genuinely wonderful

1029
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 3: human beings. So who better to learn from than people

1030
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 3: who know their craft so well and are also just

1031
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 3: really nice, nice people.

1032
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: Well that was kind of my hook is, especially since

1033
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: I started bringing guests. I would announce somebody like Vanessa,

1034
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: and the students would just go out of their minds

1035
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: because they're massive fans of hers, and she comes with

1036
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: a completely different perspective than anybody I've ever brought in.

1037
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: And this wealth of knowledge and information and life experience,

1038
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: and her stories were incredible and it's so rich. It's

1039
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: such a rich way to learn. And I remember going

1040
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: to college and I was thinking, God, this is so boring.

1041
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: I hate this. I really didn't enjoy most of my school.

1042
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: So to be able to bring in my dear friends

1043
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: to tell their stories and impart information at the same

1044
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: time in a really fun, interesting way is I think

1045
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: the best way to learn, especially if people have been

1046
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: following her for her whole career. You know, that's a

1047
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: life moment that could be a benchmark moment for a person.

1048
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: And we collect those little bits. I don't know if

1049
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: we were doing it back then with you, Vanessa, but

1050
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: now we collect some stuff from the chat as it's

1051
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: going through the class and we will send it to

1052
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: our guest and we'll just say, this is the impact

1053
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: that you had on some of these people, and just

1054
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: see their heads exploding, you know, when she comes up

1055
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: with some gem that they never even considered that they

1056
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: can actually their lives can actually change in that moment,

1057
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a big deal.

1058
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 7: That's a really big deal.

1059
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: It's a big burden to carry at this point, but

1060
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: it's also one of the most gratifying things I've ever

1061
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: had in my life.

1062
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 5: Well, I have no doubt that a great karma you

1063
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 5: put out there is going to come back to you.

1064
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 5: And also just unleashing your voice. That's such a powerful statement.

1065
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 5: And you know, as somebody with AHD, I am also

1066
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 5: on the lower end of the auto spectrum, which a

1067
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 5: lot of people don't know.

1068
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,240
Speaker 8: Now you do if you didn't know, awesome.

1069
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 5: You know, when it comes to academia, the confines of

1070
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 5: that is so restricting for somebody whose brain is neurodiverse

1071
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 5: like mine, but which you're providing is something that it

1072
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 5: is educational. Maybe it's not a four year university, but

1073
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 5: for them it's a million times better. Just like somebody

1074
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 5: who does fit well in like a four year academia,

1075
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 5: they probably won't be into bloombox studios And that's totally fine,

1076
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 5: and I think that's what people need to know. It's like,

1077
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 5: there's not just one unilateral school or place of education.

1078
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 5: There's it's whatever fits with you. And we just talked

1079
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 5: about an episode where you know, there's episodes where asrask

1080
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 5: to find as balance in the forest, You've got to

1081
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 5: do that with ourselves. What's the yin young, What's what's

1082
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 5: your lukewarm? Because that's always going to be different from

1083
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 5: everybody else, So you providing that. It's just a wonderful thing.

1084
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 5: I don't think a lot of people know about it,

1085
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 5: and hopefully people will catch you in a bit, you know,

1086
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 5: hopefully we can contribute to more people knowing about it,

1087
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 5: and whether it goes on or not, you know, your

1088
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 5: legacy with that is going to live on through your students,

1089
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 5: and I think that's amazing.

1090
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 7: I think it will. Yeah.

1091
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, we do celebrate neurodivergence in our

1092
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: classes too. We just had Corey Burton in recently and

1093
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know for years. He's one of the he's

1094
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: a genius, one of my favorite voice actors of all time,

1095
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: and I didn't know for years that he was on

1096
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: the spectrum. And he was diagnosed with Asperger's I think

1097
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: in his forties, and he just didn't know why he

1098
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: felt the way he felt, and suddenly something opened up

1099
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: to him that made him feel like he had a

1100
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: little bit more of a place in the world besides

1101
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: his craft. I mean, he's a genius and he's amazing,

1102
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: and he has had this incredible career. He's Captain Hook

1103
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: for God's Sake, among a million other things. But we

1104
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: had this really deep conversation about his struggles and how

1105
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: he sees the world differently from other people and sometimes

1106
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: it's hard for him to look people in the eye

1107
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: and sometimes things are overwhelming for him. And so many

1108
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: of my students could relate to that. I think everybody's

1109
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: on the spectrum somewhere m hm. And so to celebrate

1110
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: that and the superpowers that you have too, I've I've

1111
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: seen you in action.

1112
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 8: John and my hyper focus. Yeah, dude, your genius.

1113
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: You're amazing and and it's it's wonderful to celebrate that

1114
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: rather than make people feel like other because we don't

1115
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: understand it, So we try to cast a little light

1116
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: on that too.

1117
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1118
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And you know we are in the month of May.

1119
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 5: We're not just celebrating May. The fourth of May is

1120
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 5: also well one API Heritage month, so shout out to

1121
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 5: my fellow Asians. But also it's mental health Awareness month.

1122
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 8: So I knew that.

1123
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 5: You know, coming into this, you're you're such a positive

1124
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 5: and beautiful person. See that you were going to bring

1125
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 5: some and we've had such positive vibes on this podcast

1126
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 5: so far, but we knew you come. We were all

1127
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 5: so excited because we're like, Steve's going to bring some

1128
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 5: sort of energy today. And I think for anyone out

1129
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 5: there listening for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're talking about

1130
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 5: self care, We're talking about a lot of themes. You know,

1131
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,720
Speaker 5: this is a place where we want people to feel

1132
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 5: seen and heard. You know, that's it's we're using rebels

1133
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 5: as really a jumpstart to the conversation, but what we

1134
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 5: really want to do is celebrate individuals, which is what's

1135
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 5: all about. We've talked about rebels on here, but really

1136
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 5: we just we're just friends hanging out having a conversation.

1137
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 5: And for anybody out there, look if if you get

1138
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 5: that late adulthood spectrum diagnosis like I did. To me,

1139
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 5: it was like when you learn the twist of like

1140
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 5: an m Night Shamalan movie and you're like, oh, okay,

1141
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 5: hold on, I need to rewatch this movie now. Holy crap,

1142
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 5: this all makes so much sense because it led to

1143
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 5: this whole thing. So to me, it's like for me,

1144
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 5: it felt like a piece of the puzzle I knew

1145
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 5: was there, but once you uncovered it, like an open

1146
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 5: world video game. I was like, oh, okay, well, now

1147
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 5: let me do a backlog. Oh that's why this relationship

1148
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 5: didn't last. That's why this friendship kind of went cuphoot.

1149
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 5: But it can be a scary thing, but it's also

1150
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 5: one of the most liberating feelings because now, to use

1151
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 5: like an anime term, like you're unlocking your final four

1152
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 5: absolutely anything, you know.

1153
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't realize it was Health Awareness month.

1154
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: That's that's amazing. I just finished a two week cleanse.

1155
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, I lost eighteen pounds. I did the

1156
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: Master Cleons and eighteen Yeah, and it's sixty three years old.

1157
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: It's really hard to do and work. I used to

1158
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: do it every year back in my twenties and thirties

1159
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: and I haven't done it in forever. So yeah, if

1160
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: I can do it, you guys can do it. And

1161
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's like a full reset. So yeah, I mean,

1162
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: you don't have to do it as as harsh as

1163
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: I did it, but yeah, man, you.

1164
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 8: Might have gotten us our first sponsor with that.

1165
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 5: So this episode is now brought to you by Garden

1166
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 5: of Life Master Cleans.

1167
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,399
Speaker 3: The Master Cleans, the Lemon and.

1168
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: The Lemon, and yeah, lemon, pure maple syrup and cayenne

1169
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: pepper and water for ten days.

1170
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 7: But I did like a few days pre.

1171
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: To that, and then coming off of it, you can't

1172
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: eat solid food for another few days. So it's today

1173
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 1: was my first actual meal in fourteen days.

1174
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1175
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 3: When I first moved to LA for some reason, I

1176
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 3: decided I was going to try the Master Cleanse, and

1177
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 3: let me tell you, I lasted. I don't even think

1178
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 3: twenty four hours. Definitely not twenty four hours. I was like, nope,

1179
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 3: and that tells you a little something about my willpower.

1180
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, it would strop for everybody. And

1181
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: the first three days are absolutely brutal.

1182
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 7: They're terrible. You feel like you just want to die.

1183
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're cleaning toxins out of your body, and

1184
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: some doctors say that it's not safe for you. So definitely,

1185
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: if you're going to do a check with your doctor,

1186
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: guys beforehand, make sure that you are healthy enough to

1187
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: withstand this, because your body's going to go through some literally, but.

1188
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 7: You clear out.

1189
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: It's They say that the body regenerates cells every seven years.

1190
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: All the cells in your body regenerate every seven years,

1191
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: and you're kind of doing a jump start for that process.

1192
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: So you're not regenerating everything, but a lot of me

1193
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 1: is regenerating right now and I can feel it.

1194
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 8: So you are, is what we're saying.

1195
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I survived this one. You haven't knocked me out yet.

1196
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1197
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 7: In fact, I have a clause in here somewhere you're there.

1198
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, here they come.

1199
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 7: They hurt every time they come out.

1200
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Bob and gave me those.

1201
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

1202
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 5: So stay, where can people find you on social media?

1203
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 5: Or do you want people to find you? I guess

1204
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 5: maybe I should have asked first to respect it and boundaries,

1205
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 5: but yeah, where can they find if you want them

1206
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 5: to find you?

1207
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: I dove off most of social media these days, so

1208
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: I just got back onto Signal and currently on TikTok

00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: it's just my name. Yeah, I got off, I got

1212

00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 5: Freddy We're talked about doing like a convention tour, but

1239
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 5: maybe this is like a belated version of that. Because

1240
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 5: our goal is to do live shows because you want

1241
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 5: to connect with the really amazing Star Wars Rebels fans

1242
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 5: that I've been able to see here and there. So

1243
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 5: I think maybe that could be something to come. But

1244
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 5: if anything, we would love to just have you back anytime.

1245
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:17,760

1246
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 5: you for days, but we all have stuff to do, unfortunately.

1247
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 5: I mean I don't, but I think everybody else does.

1248
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: But I love you guys, and what a joy to

1249

Speaker 11: I love hanging out on Sunset Strip in my younger days,

1264
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,840

1265
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 11: know in a little bit about that. I believe what

1266
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 11: you guys were talking about is the upstairs of the Rainbow,

1267
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 11: there is a loft and it's called the Layer of

1268
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 11: the Hollywood Vampires, a drinking club started in the seventies

1269
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,520

01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,960

1274
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 11: much as I will say about that, which then turned

1275
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 11: into the Key Club in the mid nineties, and.
