WEBVTT - Short Stuff: The Voice of God

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey, and welcome to the Short Stuff. I'm Josh and

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.039
<v Speaker 1>there's Chuck and Jerry's sitting in for a date. So

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>this is short stuff.

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Hit it, Chuck in a world where two dufases podcast.

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 2>That's my imitation everybody of Don Lafontaine, And this is

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 2>a bit of tribute to the man that was known

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 2>as the voice of God, Don Lafontaine, the movie trailer guy.

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's exactly what a lot of people call him,

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the movie trailer guy because he has to credit Chuck

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.599
<v Speaker 1>this eye popping number. I'm gonna take this one, Okay, Yeah,

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>let's hear it. Over the course of his career, he

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>recorded more than five thousand film trailers, oh man previews,

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>five thousand previews, seven and fifty thousand television spots like

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>commercials and promos and all that stuff.

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I bet Don Lafontaine when he passed away in two

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>thousand and eight, I think thousand and eight was a

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>very very rich man.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I would think so, I would think so. And good

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>for him, sure, I mean he did it with his

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>own hard work. I mean, by the end of his life,

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>he was working basically till the end. Yeah, and by

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the end of his life. He had built out a

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>home office and was averaging seven voiceovers a day, which

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>you if you don't do voiceovers, you're probably like, that

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem like that much. I'd knock that out in

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>like fifteen minutes. Yeah, no, you wouldn't, because it's actually

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>surprisingly difficult, and if you're actually working with the professional company,

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 1>they will make you do that over and over and

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>over again, and it is quite it's quite awful. I

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>don't recommend it. Yeahbody who doesn't love voiceover?

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we read our audiobook and it was not fun.

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>And this is two guys who talked for a living

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>into a microphone and it was pretty painstaking.

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the director was even great.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, everyone did a great job. Everyone was awesome.

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>It had nothing to do with that. It was just

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 2>very monotonous. It just wasn't for us. You know, we're

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 2>very off the cuff obviously the way we do our show,

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 2>and did not transfer over to like exact readings of things.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure, like exact. It has to be exact

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>or you'll get yelled at all.

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Right, So Don Lafontaine was born in Duluth, Minnesota. He

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 2>served in the military and the well, he was in

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 2>the army because he was in the United States Army

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Band and Chorus and worked as a recording engineer there,

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and once he got out, he continued engineering at the

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>National Recording Studios in New York City, and in nineteen

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 2>sixty two he got hooked up with a producer radio

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>producer named Floyd Peterson, and Peterson just happened to be

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 2>working with Stanley the Great Stanley Kuper Come Doctor Strangelove

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 2>was creating these kind of radio promos and it was

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 2>like really successful. So he and Lafontaine hooked up and said,

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 2>all right, we should like be like legit partners from

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>now on.

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they did legitimize that. They formed Floyd L. Peterson, Inc.

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think this is the impression I have is

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that initially Don la Fontaine just kept doing his engineering thing.

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I think so.

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't until nineteen sixty five, a few years into

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>their partnership that I guess there was some scheduling mix

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>up and a voiceover actor didn't show up on time

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>or for their slot, so Don la Fontan had to

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>step in and record some radio spots for the Gunfighters

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>of Casa Grande for MGM, and MGM said, brother, we

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>are just gonna buy this whole thing outright. This proof

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>of concept is done. You invented the plane with the

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>seatback trays and everything right out of the gate.

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're like, hey, you with a perfect voice, give

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>this a shot.

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>This is at a time when film production and promotion

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 2>were all kind of done in house, like you made

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the movie and then you didn't go to a different

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>company to like cut the trailer or whatever. Like they

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 2>did it all themselves, right, And they were like, hey,

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I think we can disrupt this tradition. And they I

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know why that was funny. Why was that funny?

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Disruptors disruption? It's just such like a twenty thirteen horrible

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Silicon Valley horror show.

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I wasn't thinking of it in the terms of disruptors,

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 2>but they literally disrupted.

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you're right, yeah, but no, no, I mean

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't laughing at you chose.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I know you're laughing at people that used

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 2>were disruptors with a straight face.

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the disruptors themselves.

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, sure, all right, so they were disruptors straight faced,

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and they said they kind of developed the modern movie

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 2>trailer as we know it together. It was you know

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was a very creative time for them,

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>and they were the first to create these like catchphrases

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 2>that are now very ubiquitous across the trailer industry. And

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>you know this example, I think this came from the

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 2>New York Times Obituary or maybe sag aftra or Don

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Lafontaine dot com. But they listed some of these sort

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>of catchphrases that are now just all over the place,

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 2>like a one man army or nowhere to run, nowhere

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>to hide and no way out. But of course in

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 2>a world was the money slogan, and Lafontaine just kind

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 2>of crystallized it when he was like, it's just a

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>very rapid way to set the scene when you can

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>say in a world where where violence rules, like that

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of says it all. And just a handful of

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 2>words about what kind of movie you're about.

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>To see, Yeah, because if a ninety minute movie is

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>ideal to have like a nice, steady, crisp clip, yeah,

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>a trailer has to be evening crisper, even at a

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>steadier clip. You have to be able to, yeah, surmise

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of stuff from just a few words, and

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>that was a I mean, that was a great innovation.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I saw basically everywhere that he's the one that came

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>up with that. He's certainly credited with. I get the

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>impression no Hollywood historian has actually gone to the trouble

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>of identifying that. Yes, he definitely was the one who

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>pioneered it. Everybody's like, yeah, it was Don la Fontaine.

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah all right, Uh, nice caveat, And we'll be back

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 2>right after this with more on the Voice of God.

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>As why why k.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.160
<v Speaker 2>All right? So in a world is the kind kind

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 2>of thing that has been parodied many, many times over

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the years. Like once it became so ubiquitous, every comedian

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>latched onto it. They were in Geico commercials, The Simpsons

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 2>movie like used Don Lafontaine and at the end, like

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Homer was talking back to Don Lafontaine as the voice

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 2>of God and that was kind of fun. So obviously

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>that's the kind of thing that's going to be parodied.

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>But as far as his real career goes, we can

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 2>go back to nineteen seventy six when he started his

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 2>own production company, Don Lafontaine Associates, and his first assignment

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Out of the Gate was Godfather Part two, and two

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 2>years later, Paramount Pictures said, hey, why don't you just

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>come work for us and run our trailer department.

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he said, katching, I'll be right there. Yes,

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I always loved your mountain logo. Yeah, me too, that

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>that was such a great thing. At the beginning of

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Raiders of the Lost, art dissolves from the Paramount logo

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>into the actual mountain.

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I knew you're going to say that. I just Disclosure

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Day the new Spielberg, and I highly recommend it.

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, good. I saw back rooms in the theater twice

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>within three days. Oh wow, I really liked it a lot.

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, did you see you twice just because

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 2>you wanted to? Or you're like, oh I got to

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>take you me back and see.

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>This both of those?

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, cool, Yeah, that's fine.

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so but yes, I recommend that as well. I'll

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>go see Disclosure Day. Yeah, you're the second group of

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>people who recommended it.

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm a group. You are amazing.

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>That's how important you are.

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 2>All right. So he worked at Paramount for just a

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 2>few years. Left in eighty one moved to la which

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>is ironically where a Paramount is. And there was an

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 2>agent named Steve Tisherman who said, hey, you should really

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>like like he wasn't the voice of God, the voice

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 2>of God yet in nineteen eighty one he were like,

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 2>you should really just concentrate on this because you're so

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 2>good at it. Sure, and that was it. That's when

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 2>he really cemented his legacy as just the voiceover guy.

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Real, quick question, Chuck, why does Steve Tisherman's name

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.959
<v Speaker 1>sound familiar? I did not get a chance to look

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>him up, but I don't know. Is he like a

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>legendary agent?

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea. Actually it didn't ring familiar to me.

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it did for me for some reason, maybe you know.

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>But yes, don la Fontaine did become the king of voiceovers,

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the voice of God after about that time, starting in

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the eighties, he became the like the in house I guess,

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>voice for all four of the networks in America plus

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the overlooked fifth one UPN.

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>That's right, and TNT and TBS Cartoon Network. I mean,

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>you can hardly name a brand without you know, mentioning

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Donden Lafontaine having voiced for them.

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to say all these brands that's funny.

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 2>And then you know, he was sort of the in

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 2>show announcer for award shows for the Academy Awards at times,

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 2>and just you know, it was a heck of a career.

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 2>And I love it when someone can find a niche

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 2>like that and just like dominate it to that degree.

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 2>It's really kind of fun.

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 1>He definitely did dominate it, and not just dominate it,

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>but also make fun of yourself too.

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, he had a great sense of humor.

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, Yeah, that Geico commercial, I went back

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and watched it, the one from two thousand and five. Yeah,

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 1>it is so cute. There's this real Geico customer telling

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>about like this story where they had to, like, you know,

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>call Geico and you know, I guess make a claint

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the word I'm looking for sure. And it was

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.319
<v Speaker 1>just an average everyday story. So they hired Don la

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Fontaine to kind of movie it up, and so he

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>was translating what the woman was saying. It was very cute. Yeah.

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I bet he made some good scratch from them too.

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I hope. So, man, he definitely deserved it. And by

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the way, if you are if you work in advertising

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>for Geico, you guys have been killing it for the

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>entire century so far.

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think they always put out a pretty fun spot.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Remember the Geico Caveman.

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 2>That's great.

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Did you know that there was a short lived TV

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>show featuring them? Can't remember that.

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 2>He did it actually come out? I remember it was

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 2>a yeah, okay, yeah. I didn't know if they actually

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 2>made it to air, but I knew it. It was

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 2>a thing. It was rough, Yeah, I mean that probably

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>wasn't Some things are best leftist thirty minute or thirty

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 2>second ads, you know, right, like most things. Probably.

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, America is very fickle, so this is well.

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's surprising or not, because he

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of had that deep baritone. But he was an

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 2>on and off smoker for a lot of his life

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 2>and he had quit though for two solid decades. He

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 2>did the right thing before he was admitted to Cedar

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Sinai very sadly in two thousand and eight with the

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 2>pulmonary embolism. Was in critical condition the week after that,

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 2>and his family was like, let's pray for Dawn, Like

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>he needs to hear from everybody, And on September first,

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and eight, he passed at the age of

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>sixty eight, ten days into his hospitalization, and he is

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 2>interned at the fantastic legendary Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which is great.

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Which we did a whole short stuff on itself.

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's right.

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Apparently his last final performance was in a Phineas

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and ferb episode. I'm pretty sure, and I know it's

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>a cartoon. I'm pretty sure it's Nickelodeon cartoon. The episode

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>is the Chronicles of Meep if you want to go

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>hear him. His final line was in a World there

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I said it happy. This is a great final line.

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>And they put a little short tribute to him at

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the end of the episode, so good for them.

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if he has a star on the Hollywood

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Walk of Fame, because he totally should.

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>If he doesn't, then the Walk of Fame needs to

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 1>get their act together.

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I'm looking that up real quick because that was

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>something that I meant to look up earlier.

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, hold on, while you're looking that up, let me

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 1>mention there's a twenty thirteen movie written and directed by

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Lake Bell. Oh yeah, called a World, and it's about

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>like the voiceover World. I guess. Yeah.

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's great.

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I haven't seen it. Have you seen it?

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 2>I have not seen that movie, but I'm a fan

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 2>of Blake Bell from Children's Hospital. Uh, And I've just learned.

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 2>And of course I don't know if this is right

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 2>or not. The AI overviews are so bad it's hysterical.

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes let me just make something.

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Up because that says no. But then I'm seeing a

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 2>picture of him with a star, so maybe yes. Yesterday

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I asked, uh, whatever the stupid assistant in my house is, uh,

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 2>because I wasn't sure if Ireland had made the World

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Cup this year? And I said Ireland in the World

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Cup and it said no, Ireland is an Ireland.

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:47.200
<v Speaker 1>God.

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 2>Wow, yeah, not a joke. Wow, pretty unbelievable.

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>At least it acknowledge that Ireland exists.

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's making everything better.

0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Right sure? Yeah, but like by this all.

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Right, So I'll do some real research and see if

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 2>he has that star on the Walk of Fame and

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll report back later.

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because ironically, the AI assistant could be right because

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>another AI program created a fake picture of him on

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>with the star. Yeah, what a time to be alive.

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 1>That's it. I guess short stuff's out right short Stuff's Out.
