Speaker 1: Indy has reached a glorious age that I don't think
Speaker 1: I quite got here until way later, like maybe in
Speaker 1: my teens.
Speaker 2: But man, kids are sophisticated. Indie's very sophisticated media savvy.
Speaker 2: He is now enjoying bad movies. We like watching horrible
Speaker 2: movies together.
Speaker 1: He's discovered the like, I think it's really empowering for kids,
Speaker 1: you know, when they realized like, oh it's okay that
Speaker 1: this is bad or that that's bad acting. And so
Speaker 1: I had never seen this film, but there is a
Speaker 1: legendary bad movie called Troll two.
Speaker 3: Yeah it will. I have not, but it is a legend.
Speaker 4: It is a legend.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, we've watched it twice. His friends.
Speaker 1: We have now watched the documentary that the kid who
Speaker 1: was in the movie made in two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: which is spectacular. I am telling you this is like
Speaker 1: I mean, I had heard about this forever. It's one
Speaker 1: of those like film geek things like oh, there's tons
Speaker 1: of bad movies and then there's one that's.
Speaker 3: Like so bad but also so entertaining, and it's Troll two.
Speaker 1: And so I was like, oh, India, you know, because
Speaker 1: he was like, I want to watch a bad movie
Speaker 1: where in this on this kick and I'm like, let's
Speaker 1: do it, and Alex had never seen it. We laughed
Speaker 1: start to finish, and like literally the next night he's like,
Speaker 1: let's watch it again, and yeah.
Speaker 3: Were you lost because you hadn't seen the first one?
Speaker 3: Were you?
Speaker 4: Like? Wait? But I don't know these characters.
Speaker 1: The best part is that this was this is a
Speaker 1: movie about goblins. They never mentioned trolls once to troll one, apparently.
Speaker 5: Our trolls and goblins interchangeable.
Speaker 3: Well, according to this movie, but according to me, according
Speaker 3: to Will, of course.
Speaker 1: Not, they're completely different tribes, different languages.
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly what system.
Speaker 1: It's like mixing leprechauns and trolls. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, thank you? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So this this film it so bonkers, you guys. It's basically,
Speaker 1: they go to this family. This little boy is being
Speaker 1: haunted by the ghost of his dead grandfather who's telling
Speaker 1: them that his family cannot go to this town because
Speaker 1: they're going to be eaten by the goblins there.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you got me right, And.
Speaker 1: The goblins are eating people and the whole movie is
Speaker 1: anti vegetarianism. Oh my, Apparently the woman who wrote it,
Speaker 1: so it's an Italian couple that wrote it and directed it,
Speaker 1: and that kind of goes a long way to explain
Speaker 1: why the movie is so weird. Is that there was
Speaker 1: a language barrier. They were trying to communicate with these actors,
Speaker 1: American actors who had no idea what was going on.
Speaker 1: And if you watch a documentary, you get to see
Speaker 1: them like re creating what it was like directing and you're.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, well, this is why this movie is so bad.
Speaker 1: But what makes it so great, And like the problem
Speaker 1: with most bad movies is that they get boring after
Speaker 1: a while because you could just see the like the
Speaker 1: poor filmmaking. You could see like, oh, they just got lazy,
Speaker 1: they gave up, they didn't get that shot, they didn't
Speaker 1: have the effects. This movie is so committed it actually
Speaker 1: believes it's got an important thing to say about how
Speaker 1: vegetarians are awful and that these goblins who are turning
Speaker 1: people into trees in order to eat them. So even
Speaker 1: though the goblins are eating people, they're vegetarians. That's that's
Speaker 1: like the weird.
Speaker 3: Right, none of it makes it.
Speaker 1: And then like from actor to actor, like some people
Speaker 1: like are so committed and believing that they're in like
Speaker 1: just a full on horror film that's like straight, and
Speaker 1: then other people are playing it so campy and over
Speaker 1: the top, like they're in like, you know, a kid's
Speaker 1: movie that's.
Speaker 3: Like whoa, it's so creepy. It is the most ridiculous
Speaker 3: You will have so much fun.
Speaker 4: Is it the worst movie you've ever seen?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 4: No, I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 3: It's the most entertaining bad movie I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Like I we laughed start to finish, We learned a lot,
Speaker 1: We talked a lot, like and you know, I think,
Speaker 1: like I'm saying, for Indians, empowering to be like that
Speaker 1: person's a bad actor and be like, yeah, yeah, they
Speaker 1: really are. And he's like, because no one talks like that.
Speaker 1: You're like exactly, and we're just we just had so
Speaker 1: much fun. And so now last night we started Macing Me,
Speaker 1: which is like an.
Speaker 4: Et ripoff, which is which is staggeringly badly staggeringly.
Speaker 7: Bad, with a McDonald's commercial with McDonald's.
Speaker 3: In the middle of the dance number McDonald's.
Speaker 7: Oh my god. I think one other crazy trivia about
Speaker 7: troll Ye Okay, so first you mentioned the documentary Michael
Speaker 7: Stevenson made a great doc It's beautiful.
Speaker 3: It's actually profound. I thought it was such a good documentary.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the first Troll is a decent, you know, bad
Speaker 7: horror movie, not like Troll two.
Speaker 3: I've heard the first one.
Speaker 7: The main character's name in Troll one Harry Potter.
Speaker 3: No really ye? Could she have been inspired with No?
Speaker 7: I think it's just weirdly coincidental coincidence.
Speaker 4: That's what happens to Harry, who goes out over the
Speaker 4: dark arts and he becomes a troll.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 5: A goblin.
Speaker 4: Well, no, the first one's a troll.
Speaker 3: First one they moved to the town of nil nil
Speaker 3: Bog Nilog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're sitting there going and then the kid
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, it's goblin backwards, And the kid
Speaker 1: finally says, nil Bog, it's goblin backwards. We all saw it,
Speaker 1: and we're like, that's why they couldn't change it to goblin.
Speaker 1: They had to keep a troll. But then they were like,
Speaker 1: but it's too important that the town they couldn't have moved.
Speaker 3: Lore No exactly, rather effective.
Speaker 7: Can I suggest your next bad movie for.
Speaker 3: I've got one too, I've got one too.
Speaker 7: You go first, here we go bird bird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so good and I'm gonna throw rubber onto
Speaker 3: the Oh.
Speaker 7: My god, rubbers. Good Will, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3: Bad?
Speaker 4: Good though, Jensen?
Speaker 7: Oh, I just suggested a movie. Will suggested a good
Speaker 7: movie that's a.
Speaker 4: Chandemic and your rubbers about right. It's so good.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, that's the tire that's going on. I heard
Speaker 3: that was like a great movie.
Speaker 4: It is, it is great, incredible things. It's a great No,
Speaker 4: it's great, but it's it's not a good movie.
Speaker 3: It's a bee movie. You're you're just making like a
Speaker 3: good B movie.
Speaker 1: I want a movie that's like like Sady is going, yeah,
Speaker 1: making something great, really reaching and just doesn't get there,
Speaker 1: because that's where it's so fun.
Speaker 3: I mean, even macinbe wasn't nearly as entertainment.
Speaker 7: Will suggested a movie that's actually pretty great. I suggested
Speaker 7: a movie that shows a scene where someone walks out
Speaker 7: of their house, gets in a car, drives to another place,
Speaker 7: and gets out of their car, and that's the entire scene.
Speaker 7: You don't great, don't talk and brilliant.
Speaker 4: That's the point. Entrance ins and exits, they say, make
Speaker 4: those longer in every film that's the best way to
Speaker 4: do it. Okay, so troll to Troll two.
Speaker 1: But then also will you have to watch the documentary.
Speaker 1: It's one of the best documentaries about fandom and how
Speaker 1: people relate to like something that they were in that
Speaker 1: I've seen since Treki's.
Speaker 3: Remember Treki's, Yeah, great movie. It feels like that.
Speaker 1: And and in the same way that Treki's has that
Speaker 1: documentary where you're like, you are judging these people, but
Speaker 1: then you kind of start to feel sorry for them
Speaker 1: and like you kind of you get emotionally invested in them,
Speaker 1: the Troll two documentary does the same thing.
Speaker 3: With the actors.
Speaker 1: You watch them realize they were in a bad movie
Speaker 1: come to terms with it, some of them, others completely
Speaker 1: not understand it.
Speaker 3: Some like it's it's and it's all being.
Speaker 1: Directed by the kids. So he like grew up thinking,
Speaker 1: like I was in this movie? What was that all about?
Speaker 1: And then it became this sort of cult phenomenon, and
Speaker 1: he's trying to make this documentary collecting the rest of
Speaker 1: the cast, and you really, I mean like it's it
Speaker 1: has a little bit of a Podmeats world vibe to
Speaker 1: it around like what was I in?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 3: How do other people feel about it? How does the
Speaker 3: culture feel about it?
Speaker 1: And you watch these actors like kind of go through
Speaker 1: they start going to conventions and like they think it's
Speaker 1: really cool, and then they like kind of get addicted
Speaker 1: to like needing the feedback of everyone loving this bad
Speaker 1: movie and they're not quite so interesting.
Speaker 3: That's a really great document.
Speaker 4: The only thing I would take umbrage with is judging
Speaker 4: the people from Treky's because I started at Star Trek
Speaker 4: conventions when I was a kid, Gary and I would go.
Speaker 3: My oldest brother would take me and.
Speaker 4: We loved it. So I love one of those people.
Speaker 1: Right, No, but you know how Treky's like just let
Speaker 1: it roll on, like the people being awkward or less socially,
Speaker 1: and it was clear that the director was like, this
Speaker 1: person's behavior is a little you know, abnormal or just
Speaker 1: different than like what and this h the documentary for
Speaker 1: Troll two does the same thing, like just lets it rest.
Speaker 1: And at first you're like kind of like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't believe that person said that.
Speaker 3: That's that's hysterical or that's weird.
Speaker 1: And then you start to feel for them and you're
Speaker 1: like no, I totally like you get invested it's yeah.
Speaker 3: These both available somewhere to stream. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Troll two is on HBO right now,
Speaker 1: or maybe we rented it. We might have had to
Speaker 1: rent Troll too, but the doc is available. I think
Speaker 1: the doc was available.
Speaker 5: Let's try to get Michael. Let's try to get Michael Stevenson.
Speaker 5: Heck yeah, let's interview him. That'd be.
Speaker 7: Best best worst movie.
Speaker 3: By the way, is there a Troll three? Yeah? I
Speaker 3: think so. I think so.
Speaker 4: But is this one about elves? It's just never just
Speaker 4: the first Troll is just about trolls. Now, Danielle, tell
Speaker 4: us what you know about goblin society. Mmm.
Speaker 5: I think goblins are small, okay, but I don't know.
Speaker 5: I think goblins have pointy ears. Okay. I thought goblins
Speaker 5: were only things that were statues.
Speaker 3: Those are GOLs or are you mean goblins?
Speaker 4: You know you're talking about Yeah, Uhblin. He did a
Speaker 4: whole cartoon about him. Gotham.
Speaker 5: They're called they're outside of the library. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 5: I'm thinking of.
Speaker 4: That's not a goblin.
Speaker 3: No, that's as think of this, not think of this word.
Speaker 4: No, it's not a there's.
Speaker 7: No, it's I'm helping you. This is way too funny.
Speaker 4: You don't know. I have the same thing. Goblins.
Speaker 5: They have little they have short malstunacks and their statues
Speaker 5: outside of like.
Speaker 3: Thanks, those statues that come to life. It's not called goblins.
Speaker 3: Those are No, they're not.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they are, that's what they can't remember.
Speaker 7: They'll do it. They're gargoyles.
Speaker 4: Gargoyles. Thank you.
Speaker 5: Well, I think a goblin is a gargoyle.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, gargoyles fly gargoyles or statues. Gargoyles guard things. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: goblins are you know. They tend to live underground.
Speaker 3: They have round heads. They live underground.
Speaker 4: Their shirt they're about usually warriors, a lot to do
Speaker 4: with smelting metal.
Speaker 1: Usually they're sort of like the evil dwarves.
Speaker 3: They're like the opposite of doors. They're always at war
Speaker 3: with dwarves and.
Speaker 4: Or elves or elves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, goblins. Goblins are usually pretty. They're they're kind.
Speaker 4: Of always they're they're the bad guy if you're really
Speaker 4: a goblinist.
Speaker 3: That's the thing that's the problem.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people out there that deal in
Speaker 4: goblinism that I'm not a big fan of.
Speaker 3: Just like, don't judge a book by its cover.
Speaker 4: People, that's all saying.
Speaker 5: This is fascinating. Yeah, welcome to Pond meets World.
Speaker 3: I'm Danielle Fischel, I'm writer Strong, and I'm Bracht. It's
Speaker 3: my goblin name.
Speaker 4: I'm Wilcome. You mean.
Speaker 3: Carg name, Cargo name.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's difficult for writer and me to accept the
Speaker 5: fact that our best friend here, Will has any other
Speaker 5: friends or coworkers. How can that be more than us?
Speaker 5: How does he have time in between thinking about us?
Speaker 5: Come on, But we have to admit it. He's been
Speaker 5: in other things and made other friends. He was a
Speaker 5: batman for goodness sake. He probably even knows the joker well.
Speaker 5: Earlier this week we dug into one of those projects,
Speaker 5: and now we dig into one of those friends. Will
Speaker 5: is beloved for his work on the animated show Kim Possible,
Speaker 5: for which we just recapped an episode, and Yes, in
Speaker 5: addition to Eric Matthews, he will also always be known
Speaker 5: as Ron Stoppable, and a part of that lore will
Speaker 5: always include his co star, the icon the uber cool
Speaker 5: high school student by day, globe trotting crime fighter by night.
Speaker 5: Kim Possible. She was an incredibly rare female heroine in
Speaker 5: the two thousands, giving hope to girls everywhere that they
Speaker 5: could be both the relatable main character yet an extraordinary
Speaker 5: leader at the same time. And the show has withstood
Speaker 5: the test of time, almost as popular today on Disney
Speaker 5: Plus as it was during its Disney Channel run. Just
Speaker 5: ask the Beebers, a family who dressed up as Team
Speaker 5: Possible just last Halloween. And so to analyze Kim Possible
Speaker 5: even more, this week, we're talking to the hero herself, capable, confident,
Speaker 5: stress free, and ready to save the day. I'm talking
Speaker 5: about the guests now, not Kim Possible. This week on
Speaker 5: Podmets World, let's welcome Christy Carlson Ramana on the podcast.
Speaker 5: Welcome Christy, thank you so much for joining our little
Speaker 5: Kim Possible reunion. We had realized that writer and I
Speaker 5: were criminally uneducated when it came to the show, so
Speaker 5: we're digging in. But once we realized Writer was on it,
Speaker 5: it seemed like the uh, the perfect time to recap it.
Speaker 4: Didn't matter that I was on it, just that they're like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, writers on the show, let's recap it.
Speaker 5: I was like, Yeah, firs of us are in something.
Speaker 5: It feels like we absolutely have to cover it.
Speaker 6: I think that's fair and you know, Kim Possible was
Speaker 6: so good about casting, like so many great people, right,
Speaker 6: like we've talked about it at cons and just like
Speaker 6: we got really lucky.
Speaker 4: We had insane guest stars, like especially the villains. I
Speaker 4: mean it was well, I mean what Elliott Gould played
Speaker 4: my dad, Jean Smart was your mom. Ricardo Montalband played
Speaker 4: one of the I mean it was like one after
Speaker 4: another of these incredible people that we never got to meet.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was the only crappy part was having the
Speaker 6: community if impossible to not actually knowing significant Yeah, like writer,
Speaker 6: you were a consistent character like Brick was in almost
Speaker 6: every episode.
Speaker 1: I feel, No, I think I only did. I don't
Speaker 1: know how many I did, but but I.
Speaker 3: Actually met you.
Speaker 1: You were the only cast member met because we met
Speaker 1: in New York at a recording session because we were
Speaker 1: both Yeah, we were both recording in New York, right
Speaker 1: because you were were you going to school there or
Speaker 1: you were just living there?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was in Columbia at the time.
Speaker 3: Did I So that's the thing.
Speaker 5: What, Yes, you guys didn't know that you were at
Speaker 5: Columbia Again, I.
Speaker 1: Remember I remember when you were at Columbia, but I
Speaker 1: remember the idea that was like, oh, we're both recording remotely,
Speaker 1: but we didn't actually record together. We just passed each
Speaker 1: other in the hallway and I was like, oh, you're Kim,
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know what this show is, like,
Speaker 1: you's no rules on it, but I guess Kim's a
Speaker 1: big part. Nice to meet you and we met. So
Speaker 1: when did you guys meet? When did actually in person.
Speaker 4: For the last Did we audition together? Did we do
Speaker 4: an audition together at the end, or did we just
Speaker 4: go straight in and record the pilot together?
Speaker 3: I can't remember.
Speaker 6: I think that there was like what they called like
Speaker 6: an animatic where they were testing out at least me
Speaker 6: and in like a scene, but then you were in
Speaker 6: the scene, so I just don't remember if your voice
Speaker 6: was already attached to that.
Speaker 3: I can't remember, because I know they were looking for both.
Speaker 4: I mean, I I know that for Ron, there was
Speaker 4: the people that they brought in was were like John
Speaker 4: Cena apparently read to play.
Speaker 6: Really, there's a lot of more surrounding that there is.
Speaker 4: Pat Neil Patrick Harris was another one. Apparently there's like
Speaker 4: this longest you can.
Speaker 6: See him being a good option.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he probably would have been better. Let's say, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think he would be.
Speaker 4: It would have been more musical.
Speaker 3: That's that's what I'm saying. I sang I did a
Speaker 3: couple of songs for.
Speaker 4: Yah Make Yeah, but no, I did an actual song
Speaker 4: too with John Demanto. We did a Christmas song together
Speaker 4: Ron Jacken. Yeah, Ron and Dracken did a Christmas song together,
Speaker 4: which was which was really funny.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 4: But no, I don't remember. I don't remember when we
Speaker 4: actually met the first time. But and then we recorded
Speaker 4: the pilot together, maybe one episode, and then I don't
Speaker 4: think I ever saw you again.
Speaker 6: No, come on, we saw each other more than that.
Speaker 6: I think we saw each other maybe a handful of times.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you were in New York recording and I
Speaker 4: was always with Nicole Sullivan and Johnny Demagio who were
Speaker 4: chatting Dracken.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I saw you the most of everybody. And now
Speaker 6: now we can't get enough of each other because.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6: You know we've had podcasts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were my first.
Speaker 4: This is my I feel like I'm cheating on you
Speaker 4: with my It's like I'm with my new podcast family
Speaker 4: with my first wife, and it's like, oh, hey, okay,
Speaker 4: we did I Hear Voices Together, which is the first
Speaker 4: podcast I'd ever done.
Speaker 6: And I'm your side piece, Christie.
Speaker 5: It was a little bit difficult to fully confirm online,
Speaker 5: but was Kim possible your first ever voiceover gig? It
Speaker 5: was not.
Speaker 6: I mean a lot of us who grew up in
Speaker 6: the biz in New York specifically too, like we were
Speaker 6: pushed into so many different little rooms, dark rooms, and
Speaker 6: like I did jingles, I did books on tape when
Speaker 6: I was in New York. I did. I definitely did.
Speaker 6: I did some really whack a doo a show on
Speaker 6: Nickelodeon called any an Audi. Google it if you want
Speaker 6: to get scarred.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 6: When Nickelodeon did a lot of like you know, the
Speaker 6: Big Help in the nineties, they did a lot of
Speaker 6: like really wacky shows. They still do. But it was
Speaker 6: like two little girl's stomachs and like it was one
Speaker 6: wasn't any and one was an audi, and the actresses
Speaker 6: would move their bellies to make it talk.
Speaker 4: Solast action bellies like actual live action bellies.
Speaker 5: With you the voice of the innye or the audi.
Speaker 6: I don't remember, but Jess to Chico was the other
Speaker 6: was was.
Speaker 3: The other belly button. But it wasn't your real belly button.
Speaker 6: You have to she was not, and hopefully they were
Speaker 6: not minor belly buttons, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 6: I think that it was theyfully grown up stomachs.
Speaker 3: How would you audition for this for the live action
Speaker 3: belly You.
Speaker 6: Called Nickelodeon Studios and it was it was on Times.
Speaker 3: Square back then. I remember that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you would just go up and they would
Speaker 6: have the wacky elevators with I.
Speaker 1: Don't want to know how that pitch meeting went, like, what, executive,
Speaker 1: you know what we need belly button?
Speaker 3: You know, you know why?
Speaker 4: You know what a lot of that is from though.
Speaker 4: Do you remember one of the biggest commercials at the
Speaker 4: time was the Whistling belly Button with the song Oh,
Speaker 4: I forget the song, but it became big and it
Speaker 4: was what's her name from Sopranos was the one singing
Speaker 4: the song that was coming out.
Speaker 3: Of the belly button.
Speaker 6: Jamie Lynn.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Jamie Lynn.
Speaker 4: I think he was who was singing the belly the
Speaker 4: belly button song and it's like whistling, and it became
Speaker 4: one of the biggest commercials of like the late nineties
Speaker 4: early aughts. So I bet you that had something to
Speaker 4: do with and and everyone will know exactly when when
Speaker 4: they see it, they'll know exactly the commercial that I'm
Speaker 4: talk talking about. And I, oh, I'm coming out. I
Speaker 4: want the word to and she's singing that. It's the
Speaker 4: belly Button singing that as it's going and that became
Speaker 4: a huge thing.
Speaker 3: I'm coming out.
Speaker 6: I see Jamie often. She lives in Austin.
Speaker 4: Here where I love really Okay, yeah.
Speaker 6: And she's a sweetheart. And actually we were both Bell
Speaker 6: on Broadway, so there's a lot of as people.
Speaker 3: Know, Bell and belly Button.
Speaker 6: Kelly and me and there you go.
Speaker 5: So you were already a Disney Channel mainstay with live
Speaker 5: action stuff, even Stevens and Cadet Kelly. Were they trying
Speaker 5: to plug you into a lot of other Disney projects
Speaker 5: or how did Kim possible come to you?
Speaker 6: I feel like at that point, Kim was like the
Speaker 6: cherry on top, and I don't think I could have
Speaker 6: committed to doing anything else because I was still you know,
Speaker 6: I was still trying to get into college, and so
Speaker 6: it was like my dance card was full. So like
Speaker 6: during the week, it would be even Stevens and then
Speaker 6: after hours, I chose not to do tutoring on set,
Speaker 6: so I would go home and do the education a
Speaker 6: portion of my day. So it was like I would
Speaker 6: still clock in thirteen hour days every day and then
Speaker 6: on the weekends it would be my Kim possible recording
Speaker 6: prior to me even in New York. So there was
Speaker 6: about a good i want to say, six months of
Speaker 6: me doing KIM in LA, which is where probably I
Speaker 6: saw you a couple times.
Speaker 4: Wait a second, Wait a second, You can opt out
Speaker 4: of doing set school and do it at home. I
Speaker 4: didn't even know that was an option.
Speaker 6: Yes, it was when we when it came to us
Speaker 6: being as convicted as my mom was, is like Christy's
Speaker 6: getting into you know, a good school. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Oh interesting. So then you were essentially homeschooled while you
Speaker 4: were also doing also acting.
Speaker 6: And everything aggressively homeschooled by the way, like there was
Speaker 6: still like SAT prep and stuff, and I like tas
Speaker 6: from UCLA or yeah that would come for individual subjects,
Speaker 6: so they were like, you know, it was just kind
Speaker 6: of like as if you were an ap classes. But
Speaker 6: I think that they also logged my hours, which is
Speaker 6: probably what was the workaround for that. Right right, Yeah,
Speaker 6: So I would recommend it. To be honest, I would
Speaker 6: recommend it because I just think that when we're on set,
Speaker 6: especially as young people are like, it's hard to be
Speaker 6: present and then get pulled into try and learning. So
Speaker 6: I don't know, I think it's a good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, keeping them separate sounds like a great idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't. Again, I didn't even know that was
Speaker 3: a thing. I didn't even know you could do that.
Speaker 4: Great.
Speaker 5: It's not as time efficient because there's obviously lots of
Speaker 5: downtime on a set, and so it does make sense
Speaker 5: that you're like, well, I could be learning during this downtime,
Speaker 5: but you're right that, Like, you go back and you've
Speaker 5: got twenty minutes and you get really into something, and
Speaker 5: then all of a Suddeny're like, we need you on set,
Speaker 5: and you're like, all right, I guess I'll put this
Speaker 5: down for forty five minutes and I'll come back to it.
Speaker 5: And it's hard to kind of switch that on and off.
Speaker 5: But you know, it does seem like it would be
Speaker 5: better for your schooling if you could just commit to
Speaker 5: the you know, solid chunk of time.
Speaker 6: I know the writer and I both ended up at
Speaker 6: the same school, so it worked out.
Speaker 3: It worked out, I've worked out.
Speaker 5: So when was the first time you saw your character
Speaker 5: design for Kim Possible? She is such a cool y
Speaker 5: two k like cool girl aesthetic.
Speaker 6: She does let's see see if you're looking at video, Yeah, Kim,
Speaker 6: I saw her.
Speaker 7: Once.
Speaker 6: I think I saw her in the animatic because they
Speaker 6: want to see if I can do that. Adr I
Speaker 6: think that was one of the bigger tests, was like
Speaker 6: she's young, you know, I was actually the age of
Speaker 6: the characters, so they were just like, can she actually
Speaker 6: navigate the tech of this? And they were really great
Speaker 6: at directing. You know, we had Chris as our first.
Speaker 3: Director, well, Chris Bailey was our first director, yep.
Speaker 6: And then Lisa Schaeffer after him. But Chris was really
Speaker 6: patient and so they really brought me into the fold
Speaker 6: and gave me a shot, like a true shot, not
Speaker 6: like a you know, we love aliceon Hannigan and we
Speaker 6: kind of really want, you know, a veteran celebrity here.
Speaker 6: But it was more like this freshness right where where
Speaker 6: Kim I think spoke like and define a whole generation.
Speaker 6: And so having been a part of that, I'm very
Speaker 6: protective of it and I'm so honored to have played
Speaker 6: it because I was her age and like I was
Speaker 6: going through a lot of that stuff. Then they would
Speaker 6: ask me questions about like where she worked. Club Banana
Speaker 6: was based on where I shopped at, which was like
Speaker 6: Club Monico. And I think they've paired it with Banana Republican.
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, Club Banana.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: No. And then for people out there listening who don't know,
Speaker 4: an animatic, by the way, is before they actually will
Speaker 4: fully animate a cartoon or animated series in any way,
Speaker 4: shape or form, they'll do something called an animatic, which
Speaker 4: is usually can be anywhere from ninety seconds to sometimes
Speaker 4: two or three minutes long. It's usually sometimes nothing more
Speaker 4: than really pencil sketch that they will animate and allow
Speaker 4: to do voiceover for as well, so you can kind
Speaker 4: of get the vibe of what the show is going
Speaker 4: to be without putting in all of the pencil mileage,
Speaker 4: without painting, without doing everything. That takes forever, because you know,
Speaker 4: we record an episode and then they'll send it to
Speaker 4: wherever it's being animated. A lot of times it's an
Speaker 4: Asia Ireland has become big with it now, and that
Speaker 4: episode will disappear for eight nine months a year, you know,
Speaker 4: sometimes more, and then it comes back and then you
Speaker 4: clean it up again.
Speaker 3: You do an eight R process, you do more dialogue there.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, when we recorded this a year ago,
Speaker 4: you and I were yelling at each other because they're
Speaker 4: supposed to be standing across this giant cavern, and now
Speaker 4: they animated it where we're standing in the same room.
Speaker 4: So obviously us screaming at each other doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4: So you got to go in and kind of fix
Speaker 4: it up again. But the animatic I think was it
Speaker 4: was it Steve Loder who did all the animatics too.
Speaker 3: I mean I think he probably.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's very in house at that point. I think, like,
Speaker 6: you know, and then I do remember seeing more artwork
Speaker 6: when I went over to the animation building in Burbank,
Speaker 6: and that was when I got to meet, you know, Eugene,
Speaker 6: who's of our beautifully eccentric old school Disney two D animators.
Speaker 6: I guess the imagineers like because they treat them differently
Speaker 6: at Disney, like the the animation gets to have sideburns
Speaker 6: and tattoos and like rks and stuff like, whereas when
Speaker 6: you're not an imagineer, uh, you have to have a
Speaker 6: very or they used to. I think maybe they're but
Speaker 6: it used to be very strict, like dress coding for
Speaker 6: work and corporate culture was very different at that time.
Speaker 7: But I want to have been.
Speaker 6: Over there to see all this different artwork. It hit
Speaker 6: me that I was like part of something really major,
Speaker 6: and I was just really excited.
Speaker 5: So when was the first time you also heard the
Speaker 5: theme song, which is done by Christina Milion. It is
Speaker 5: so much better than it needed to be. It is
Speaker 5: stuck around.
Speaker 4: It is so good. It is far better.
Speaker 6: But I was getting ready today, I was thinking about
Speaker 6: the fact that like there's no way to thank her
Speaker 6: for how important, like what kind of contribution she made
Speaker 6: to the show. There's just no way to think she
Speaker 6: she owns it a little bit, but she's not like
Speaker 6: super nostalgic because she has a full you know, she's
Speaker 6: got for j Low and like everything else. So but
Speaker 6: I know she knows that it's like one of the
Speaker 6: things that is dear to her heart, right, But there's
Speaker 6: she really is one of because she was in every
Speaker 6: episode two with that song. She's like a character in
Speaker 6: the without even like it being.
Speaker 4: It was iconic that was starting with that I mean again.
Speaker 4: I was at a convention this weekend with Writer, and
Speaker 4: across the room I.
Speaker 3: Heard the deep deep, deep deep, which is the start.
Speaker 4: Of the thing. And I looked up and you just
Speaker 4: get that visceral like, oh god, Kim's calling or Wade's
Speaker 4: calling whatever. And I talked to the girl had it.
Speaker 4: She's like, oh god, this has been my ring tone
Speaker 4: since two thousand and three. She's like, every new phone,
Speaker 4: I get, every new everything, so I can hear it
Speaker 4: over everything, says you know, maybe half the time my
Speaker 4: phone goes off somewhere somebody comes up to me and goes,
Speaker 4: oh my god, the Kim Possible ringtone.
Speaker 3: It's just very well.
Speaker 5: We were actually all in Columbus together Will Writer and
Speaker 5: and myself, and we were with our dear friend Joey,
Speaker 5: and we were sitting there having breakfast or lunch, I
Speaker 5: don't remember, and all of a sudden, from across the room,
Speaker 5: We're like, is that the Kim Possible song? And then
Speaker 5: we like started looking around thinking are they doing it
Speaker 5: because they know Will is here? Nope, no glances toward us. Nothing.
Speaker 5: We were like, how do we how do we do this?
Speaker 5: So Writer and I got up and maybe Joey was
Speaker 5: the one who said it. I think, is that? Is
Speaker 5: that the Kim Possible theme song? From your friend? She's like,
Speaker 5: oh yeah, I absolutely love it. And Will came over
Speaker 5: and did the voice of Ron for them, and they
Speaker 5: lost their minds.
Speaker 4: There was the middle of a restaurant, just like some restaurant.
Speaker 5: No, not even not even at the con, just in life.
Speaker 5: It happened randomly and it was so cool. It was
Speaker 5: the voice that you did for Kim. Was it always
Speaker 5: the voice or had you tried other things?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I would say that it was very nuanced, and of
Speaker 6: course my voice did end up changing, which I'm sure
Speaker 6: we'll talk about. But when I started it, I probably
Speaker 6: approached it very bubbly. But then what ended up happening
Speaker 6: with our first rector was they were like, we need
Speaker 6: him to be like action ready and sarcastic and sort
Speaker 6: of witty and dry.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 6: I've always been a really great Oh gosh, will help
Speaker 6: me out. What do they call it? The not the
Speaker 6: dry man, the hey man straight man. Yes, so that's
Speaker 6: like my thing, and I can come off a little.
Speaker 6: I'm really good at cast being cast as like a
Speaker 6: like in general, I've been cast that sometimes or.
Speaker 3: Like put you to Shia, Yeah, are connects.
Speaker 6: I was a straight man to Shia, and I think
Speaker 6: they wanted a little bit more of that to Will's Ron.
Speaker 6: And I think that's why we paired so well vocally
Speaker 6: because my and so Yeah, I think over the years
Speaker 6: I became more sarcastic, more dry, but they were always
Speaker 6: very quick to be like, hey, don't come off, don't
Speaker 6: come off like you're you can't stand Ron. And so
Speaker 6: they wanted her to be a hero, you know, but
Speaker 6: also be a really smart person, smart girl.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: They went out of their way to that where the
Speaker 4: father is a rocket scientist and the mother's a brain surgeon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was like, that's.
Speaker 4: What they're supposed to do, is they're supposed to She's
Speaker 4: supposed to be like the daughter of these two incredibly
Speaker 4: bright people who your dad is Gary Cole and your
Speaker 4: mom is Jean Smart.
Speaker 6: And you know what I loved about them and watching
Speaker 6: our episode that we watched for this is just like
Speaker 6: how real they played it. Mary Cole was still cracking
Speaker 6: dad jokes. But then he would like talk about a satellite.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he always He's Gary Cole too, he always He's
Speaker 4: just got that kind of Well, I don't know, Ronald,
Speaker 4: He's just he's just Gary, you know, it's so funny.
Speaker 6: The perfect And yeah, it was actually that Kelly to
Speaker 6: you guys. So I had actually been with him that
Speaker 6: whole summer, I think before we really got into filming him,
Speaker 6: and I knew his voice.
Speaker 3: I mean, oh, yes, so great and very iconic voice.
Speaker 6: But you know, Jeane Smart, I think I'm at once
Speaker 6: we were.
Speaker 4: Did you lucky? I never got a chance to meet her.
Speaker 6: I know, in passing, and she she was just such
Speaker 6: a class act. And she wasn't Designing Women right, Yes, Okay,
Speaker 6: so I grew up watching Designing Women and that's how
Speaker 6: I knew her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was with Delta Burke and everybody else, Dixie Carter, Jeans.
Speaker 3: Delta Burke.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I didn't realize just how iconic she was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's really glad that. Yeah.
Speaker 5: When you think of Kim, how do you like, how
Speaker 5: would you describe who Kim Possible is?
Speaker 6: Oh? Wow, fierce, loyal, fair, inclusive, uh, really warm and loving? Yeah,
Speaker 6: self sacrificing Yeah those things.
Speaker 4: Okay, And she's the Disney I mean, she's the thing
Speaker 4: they did so well. But it's so weird is in
Speaker 4: any other circumstance.
Speaker 3: She's the Disney princess. I mean she's got aerial hair.
Speaker 4: I mean it's like but at the same time, she's
Speaker 4: a regular high school girl. It's like, take one of
Speaker 4: those Disney princesses and just put them in high school
Speaker 4: for every day, and that's impossible.
Speaker 6: Well, and our animators actually Drew Bell and Drew Yeah,
Speaker 6: so I think they were modeling her.
Speaker 3: That's interesting.
Speaker 1: I didn't really so they you think they consciously did that.
Speaker 1: They were like, we're going to take the look of
Speaker 1: a Disney princess but completely change the character because I
Speaker 1: think so, Yeah, certainly, not like the typical Disney princess.
Speaker 3: Now a complete action star and midriff, like showing the
Speaker 3: mid drift and all that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like they modernized a Disney princess silhouette, right, Like
Speaker 6: they were trying to do something unique and they achieved it.
Speaker 4: And right Remember we were just at the convention with
Speaker 4: Steve and when we did that panel, Steve said that
Speaker 4: there was meeting after meeting after meeting about her breasts,
Speaker 4: like the shape of a breath, should they be pointy,
Speaker 4: should they be round? Should they be I mean this is,
Speaker 4: you know, a bunch of people sitting in a room
Speaker 4: talking about a sixteen year old animated character's silhouette. But right,
Speaker 4: I mean just that's but it shows you the amount
Speaker 4: of meetings that they haven't these we remember, you know,
Speaker 4: one of the things being like talking to the Mark
Speaker 4: mccorky and Bob's goooley about who are the creators of
Speaker 4: the show about you know, her outfit and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 4: we we have to have like hundreds of meetings if
Speaker 4: we want to change her shirt. Where so they you know,
Speaker 4: that's why she's she wears that what she's wearing in
Speaker 4: the picture behind Christy right now, she wears that. She
Speaker 4: wears her cheerleading outfit. That's it for like the entire
Speaker 4: series until the end where they're like, look, we want
Speaker 4: to switch it up. We want to put her in
Speaker 4: different things, but then everything has to be re animated.
Speaker 4: They have to do different kind of It's weird they're
Speaker 4: doing clothing wardrobe fittings on an animated character.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that in this episode that we watched,
Speaker 6: she also has her streetwear outfit, which is like she yeah,
Speaker 6: she had like a white shirt and green pants or something.
Speaker 4: But it was a major deal if they wanted to
Speaker 4: change this animated characters shirt was like meetings.
Speaker 1: Because I do think that it was pretty revolutionary to
Speaker 1: have like a girl superhero right hero at the time.
Speaker 1: I feel like now it's kind of standard, but it
Speaker 1: is interesting to be the way that they sort of
Speaker 1: made her kind of perfect. You know, she's everything.
Speaker 3: She's a cheerleader, popular and a.
Speaker 1: Hero and like I also, you know, going back to
Speaker 1: the princess thing, like I had the conscious thought, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, Brick is the princess being saved by
Speaker 1: Kim and this he's the one in peril, right, yes,
Speaker 1: but you take a jock and the big football jock,
Speaker 1: and he's the one tied up that she's got to save.
Speaker 1: Do you Guysmber, what was the initial pitch beyond the
Speaker 1: story points? Like, what was like, yeah, so the guys
Speaker 1: Bob and Mark, great story.
Speaker 6: They were going up to pitch something else, I believe,
Speaker 6: right or no they.
Speaker 4: Left after a no no, no, I think they were going up.
Speaker 4: Weren't they the story? And now again everyone hears these stories.
Speaker 4: It's like the Michael Jacobs stories about I knew this
Speaker 4: or so we've heard this story.
Speaker 3: One hundred times.
Speaker 6: But who knows, well, yeah, panels and oh no, But
Speaker 6: when did Bob and Mark tell us this? I don't
Speaker 6: even remember.
Speaker 4: I think they've I think they said it on the
Speaker 4: on the DVD commentary too, and I think they've told
Speaker 4: us this a number of times.
Speaker 3: Tell the story.
Speaker 6: Sorry, Okay. So basically, they were going up to the
Speaker 6: Disney Channel building where Gary Marsh was awaiting them. Gary
Speaker 6: Marsh was a long time president and then global president
Speaker 6: of Disney Channel. He's pretty much the reason why Disney
Speaker 6: broke for so long in the Golden Era, so to speak,
Speaker 6: and he mentored a bunch of us young girls at
Speaker 6: the time. He was a really great guy anyway, So
Speaker 6: they were going up to him, and you know, I
Speaker 6: think Bob looks at Mark, or Mark looks at Bob
Speaker 6: and he goes, she's kim Possible, she can do anything.
Speaker 6: And the other looked at the at him and he goes,
Speaker 6: he's ron stoppable and he can't do anything.
Speaker 7: Something.
Speaker 4: That was it.
Speaker 3: They literally they just literally said those names to each other.
Speaker 4: In an elevator, apparently to buy themselves totally silent. One
Speaker 4: turned to the other and said, Kim Possible, she can
Speaker 4: do anything. And the other one turned back and said ron.
Speaker 6: Stoppable, and then they went upstairs they pitched it somehow
Speaker 6: and then that was it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and that was that's so it's names.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it's branding at the time. I mean
Speaker 4: when you think about it. But I know that we
Speaker 4: were the first show in the history of Disney Channel.
Speaker 4: And this is pre the Internet, the first show to
Speaker 4: be picked up for a fourth season because Disney Channel
Speaker 4: had the sixty five and out rules, so you hit
Speaker 4: three seasons and you're done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and was.
Speaker 6: Part of that, like we kicked out. And then I
Speaker 6: think Raven was the first.
Speaker 4: Live action yep, and ours was the first show on
Speaker 4: the entire Disney Channel and it was solely based on
Speaker 4: letter a letter campaign that people wrote in saying they
Speaker 4: wanted more episodes of Kim Possible. No Internet, nothing, just
Speaker 4: handwritten letters, we want more Kimpossible. I think there was
Speaker 4: a petition and they brought it back for a fourth season.
Speaker 3: Wow, which is really cool. And then we did a
Speaker 3: movie which was great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, how was the movie? How did the movie? When
Speaker 5: did they pitch the movie idea to you?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 6: Gosh, we did multiple movies.
Speaker 3: We did oh wait, wait, I guess that's right.
Speaker 4: I guess, well, what they would do is they would
Speaker 4: do three or four episodes in a row that was
Speaker 4: one storyline, and then packages of this movie.
Speaker 5: Oh so perhaps how they did the movies.
Speaker 4: Well, I think A Stitch in Time was done that way,
Speaker 4: but I think so the drama was done as a movie,
Speaker 4: I believe. So. I think so what they'll do is
Speaker 4: they'll say, hey, we're going to do four episodes in
Speaker 4: a row that are this one storyline, and then we'll
Speaker 4: package that as a movie. And then do they.
Speaker 5: Do that because there's some financial benefit.
Speaker 3: To There must be there must be something.
Speaker 4: But then we thought the series was over and so
Speaker 4: they were going to end with the drama.
Speaker 6: When you do voice over work, you're paid per session,
Speaker 6: and you know, that was a little bit of a
Speaker 6: thing that we did back and forth on and I
Speaker 6: think some people in the cast were really good about
Speaker 6: standing their ground on you know, different seasons and renegotiating,
Speaker 6: and I'm like really grateful to that because I hadn't.
Speaker 6: I was just happy to be there. But in the end,
Speaker 6: I think we got paid pretty fairly and like we
Speaker 6: had really great morale with Lisa and Bob and Marcin. Yeah,
Speaker 6: like we all loved each other even from you.
Speaker 3: Know, well, we're still friends with all them.
Speaker 4: I talk to Lisa all the time, and you know,
Speaker 4: Lisa directed me then in Guardians of the Galaxy and batmanber.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a number of things that I've worked
Speaker 4: with Lisa on. She did Big Hero six, which you
Speaker 4: brought you on as well. That's right, they're they're they're great.
Speaker 4: But yeah, there was I mean, especially under the Gary
Speaker 4: Marsh regime in Disney Channel history, they synergy. We always
Speaker 4: joke about the Disney synergy, but especially on the Channel
Speaker 4: was hugely important. So it's like, that's what they want
Speaker 4: to do, is they want to take you know, a
Speaker 4: star like a Raven, you know, a perfect example, somebody
Speaker 4: like Raven who's so multi talented, and it's like, Okay,
Speaker 4: we want you to star in your own sitcom, and
Speaker 4: then we want to do an animated series with you,
Speaker 4: and then we want to do the Cheetah Girls with you.
Speaker 4: It's like, what can we do to build the brand?
Speaker 4: And you saw this with Miley Cyrus and you saw
Speaker 4: this with Christy and I mean it's that's what they're
Speaker 4: trying to do. Is build the brand as much as
Speaker 4: then and that's all. That was all Gary Marsh and
Speaker 4: I think I feel.
Speaker 6: You do the old school Hollywood like club studio system contractor.
Speaker 7: It worked.
Speaker 4: It worked, Yeah, it did, especially with Disney Channel, who
Speaker 4: who legitimately would say we can't.
Speaker 3: Pay you what other studios would pay you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because we don't have the money. And when you know,
Speaker 4: when Fox or Paramount, well no, but that's the thing
Speaker 4: is when Fox or paramout says we don't have the money,
Speaker 4: you go, come on, You're making one hundred million dollar movies.
Speaker 4: Disney Channel was always kind of its own little entity
Speaker 4: in the world of Disney.
Speaker 3: So they were making.
Speaker 4: Four hundred thousand dollars movies, a million dollar movies, one
Speaker 4: point five million dollar movies. Now with Zombies. The last
Speaker 4: Zombies movie was forty million dollars shut up. So that
Speaker 4: I mean, they're obviously now in that rarefied air, but
Speaker 4: before back in the day, when they're like, we don't
Speaker 4: have the money, they kind of didn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Disney had the money, right, Disney Channel.
Speaker 5: Correct, And they are separate companies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, correct, correct, that was it was. It was two
Speaker 4: very different things, but they were always I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 6: Just take it over that Zombies was forty million million, and.
Speaker 4: The next descendants I'm sure will be even bigger than
Speaker 4: that because they're pulling in huge numbers and streaming and
Speaker 4: they're trying to get people to their platform.
Speaker 6: We're also Disney doesn't really existing or Disney Channel proper.
Speaker 6: I mean you guys can confirm, but I think it's
Speaker 6: Disney branded partners.
Speaker 3: It is, and like Disney XD is gone.
Speaker 4: Disney yeah, so the technical d com is probably gone,
Speaker 4: but it's they're now just huge tent pole movies on
Speaker 4: these the days of Brink and the smaller even Steve
Speaker 4: at like.
Speaker 6: Even My Date with the President's Daughter.
Speaker 4: No, that was that was wonderful World of Disney. That
Speaker 4: was ABC. That was a different That's a whole different brand.
Speaker 5: There are so many umbrellas and so many different names.
Speaker 4: Chances are everything is owned by Disney. By the way, Christy,
Speaker 4: you you have the distinction, which you've talked about, a
Speaker 4: magical rewind of still having the kiss that does not
Speaker 4: belong on the Disney Channel in the Even Stevens movie,
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, she because everybody else lives like Disney Channel kisses.
Speaker 4: It's like kiss, kiss, Kiss, Christy grabs Josh Keaton and
Speaker 4: shoves her tongue down this man's and we're like sitting
Speaker 4: there watching and we're like, oh, that's not a Disney
Speaker 4: Channel kiss at all. Yeah, it was very good. We
Speaker 4: still have that.
Speaker 6: We were dated.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were together and they forgot.
Speaker 5: That junior on Boy Meets World, mister Wilfred Oh with
Speaker 5: one love Hewitt exactly. You all have receipts.
Speaker 6: Good God, I'm okay.
Speaker 5: So I noticed on your I m dB, Christie that
Speaker 5: you played screaming fan in a Backstreet Boys sears commercial.
Speaker 5: Please tell us everything about this.
Speaker 6: You can google this because I did get tagged and
Speaker 6: asked about it. By the way, Writer, you're still quiet,
Speaker 6: are you okay?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: There's too many of us. If I jump in every time,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be always described. Yes, yes, yes, this is writer.
Speaker 6: He's a thinker, he's a binger. That was back in
Speaker 6: New York right before I did the pilot for Even Stevens.
Speaker 6: I got cast with Jenna Ushkowitz, who's from g.
Speaker 5: Oh we knew Jenna. Yeah, we've done a podswap with
Speaker 5: Jenna Ushkowitz.
Speaker 6: She was a baby. She's younger than I am and
Speaker 6: we had done some like Broadway Kid things back in
Speaker 6: New York, and so we just knew each other and
Speaker 6: then we ended up all getting cast in this strange
Speaker 6: I think it was Marshalls Sears and it was their
Speaker 6: Millennium Tour and uh, Larger than Life is playing like
Speaker 6: and we're chasing these guys and we were featured extras essentially.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you had a name screaming fan.
Speaker 6: There screaming, and so we ran after them all day long.
Speaker 6: We had to run after them and scream and like
Speaker 6: it really them?
Speaker 4: Was it really the Backtree Boys commercial? Wow?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was really them, you can see very clearly.
Speaker 6: And then and then I have a picture with them
Speaker 6: and with Jenna and all the other you have.
Speaker 5: You seen the Millennium Tour show its sphere.
Speaker 6: I saw that it's happening, okay, And I want to say, like,
Speaker 6: I've definitely chatted with some of the guys over the
Speaker 6: years and seen them and stuff, and I'm like, if
Speaker 6: I go, it's gonna it would be amazing.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 4: It's an incredible show. As somebody who's not I mean,
Speaker 4: I like them all as people. They're they're great guys.
Speaker 4: But you know, obviously I'm not the demographic for their music,
Speaker 4: but man, what a show.
Speaker 7: It was.
Speaker 6: Happy for them, I know for them, it was.
Speaker 3: A really wonderful way to spend a night.
Speaker 4: It really was.
Speaker 5: So since we're on this two thousands millennium tour Backstreet
Speaker 5: Boys section of the interview, I thought a very dated
Speaker 5: question I might be able to ask you is did
Speaker 5: people ever ask you to record their voicemail messages in character?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 6: I think I had that listed when I first doing
Speaker 6: comic cons because I heard that Tom Kenny did it. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and that Gary Mariano, who's another Gary at Disney. He
Speaker 6: was like our biggest PR guy. He would have people
Speaker 6: do his voicemails. So he had goofy and he had
Speaker 6: you know, Jim coming and so yeah, I think I
Speaker 6: did that for a few but I don't do it anymore.
Speaker 6: But that would be fun, wasn't it.
Speaker 4: I just did one last weekend n stopping No at
Speaker 4: a convention. Somebody came up and they said, we record
Speaker 4: my voice ment no as Kid as Ron. So I'm
Speaker 4: hey here, Jen's not here right now? Leave message Bill. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like that kind of thing. It was all really funky.
Speaker 6: So yeah, he said that Kim's voice is just my
Speaker 6: customer service voice, and I I disagree that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Whereas that's one of the things I really noticed, and
Speaker 4: we talked about this in the episode when we recapped
Speaker 4: the Kim Possible episode, is my voice changes so much
Speaker 4: from the from starting ron Ron season one is essentially
Speaker 4: just me like, come on, kp you gotta and by
Speaker 4: the end, I'm all the way up here, and he's
Speaker 4: so much crazier.
Speaker 3: And it's like not even close to being the same voice. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So I noticed that watching this episode. I was like,
Speaker 3: when we'll us the voice, it's way different, it's way higher.
Speaker 1: And this was closer to you, and I was like,
Speaker 1: but then throughout the episode it got more ron like.
Speaker 3: And by the end it's crazy and so okay.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if that was something that just happened
Speaker 1: after you finished the show, like just over the years
Speaker 1: you've gotten more exact.
Speaker 4: I remember sitting and when we talked about this, I
Speaker 4: remember sitting in a booth with John Demagio.
Speaker 3: It was just the two of us of this one episode.
Speaker 4: It was the start of season whatever three, but it
Speaker 4: was I should have listened to him because of the
Speaker 4: episode started and I said, someone like you know what KP.
Speaker 4: And he's like, that's not the voice.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: Johnny was like, that's not it, and I'm like what.
Speaker 4: He's like, dude, that's not Ron and I'm like it's
Speaker 4: not and then I couldn't get it back, and so
Speaker 4: from here on he was just like this. So I
Speaker 4: going back, I would love to have kept it kind
Speaker 4: of in the initial register that we saw of this
Speaker 4: one episode where it was just kind of like my
Speaker 4: voice right, because he really got I mean, obviously it's
Speaker 4: a cartoon, but super cartoony towards the end and it's
Speaker 4: like it's if you watch the second episode and the
Speaker 4: second to last episode, it's two completely different characters. So
Speaker 4: I mean the voice this is different.
Speaker 6: Because I went to college and started smoking SIGs and
Speaker 6: they had a little chat with me and they were
Speaker 6: looked good, and I was like, yeah, I'm sorry. And
Speaker 6: then I ended up having actually to be farewell. I
Speaker 6: had a double nodular surgery before Beauty and the Beast.
Speaker 6: I found out that I had damaged my vocal cords
Speaker 6: over the years, and so I think once I fixed that,
Speaker 6: I probably was back to being old Kim and yeah.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you were, I mean you were in college,
Speaker 4: so you would come in and when you were on
Speaker 4: phone patch, you'd be like morning, like, oh, hey.
Speaker 6: I didn't put those pieces together. It had to have
Speaker 6: been the nodules, It really did, because those things are nasty.
Speaker 4: Because again I smoked for twenty five years by that point,
Speaker 4: and you could still get up to the top register.
Speaker 4: But no, you had you had vocal damage. So that's
Speaker 4: I mean, that's what it was. I mean you could
Speaker 4: tell the that that rasp does not start within a
Speaker 4: year of smoking.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know that was. I think that who has
Speaker 6: it filed? Not philled Collins? Uh? Who's that? Rod Stewart
Speaker 6: nodules And he never let them go because he liked
Speaker 6: the texture that boys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh you never you never knew.
Speaker 4: I remember one voiceover actor said to me, his name
Speaker 4: is Corey Burton, who smoked for like forty years. And
Speaker 4: I remember saying to him one time, Hey, Corey, and
Speaker 4: this guy did the voice of everything. I said, Hey, Corey,
Speaker 4: are you ever going to quit smoking? And he said, no,
Speaker 4: I figure another five or six years and I can.
Speaker 3: Hit every register that I want.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 3: So it's like in his head he was like smoking
Speaker 3: for a reason. I was like he said.
Speaker 4: At one time, he literally tried to write off his
Speaker 4: cigarettes as a work expense because he's like, I'm a
Speaker 4: voiceover actor and I smoke because I want the RASP
Speaker 4: and I want the lower registers. But and of course
Speaker 4: the government was like, yeah, that's not going to work.
Speaker 4: But he tried, because he.
Speaker 3: Write off his cancer treatment. Yeah, right, exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Don't smoke, kids, don't smoke kids.
Speaker 4: It's very good.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: So back to kimpossible. Did I know you obviously did
Speaker 5: not remember that writer had well you actually thought writer
Speaker 5: was on many many more episodes.
Speaker 6: Yes, I love he wished that she would have actually
Speaker 6: taken Brick seriously, because my toxic trait is that I
Speaker 6: love my husband is like not brick, but he looks
Speaker 6: like brick.
Speaker 4: It does kind of look like brick, doesn't it.
Speaker 6: And I always had a thing for, like, you know,
Speaker 6: dumb guys. So my husband, however, is not dumb.
Speaker 4: But didn't he also he also went to Columbia your
Speaker 4: your husband, didn't he?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yes, and was a marine not dumb guy.
Speaker 6: But I like that, like, you know, you know whatever,
Speaker 6: I'm going to go down the rabbit hole. I shouldn't,
Speaker 6: but but.
Speaker 3: I a little meathead. A little meathead is good? Is
Speaker 3: that what you're saying?
Speaker 6: Like, survive me apocalypse with me? You know, yeah, cut
Speaker 6: down a tree.
Speaker 4: Survived the apocalypse with me. I love that.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I remember because I didn't. I don't
Speaker 3: even know if I had a picture of Brick.
Speaker 1: I just remember they just cast me, I guess because
Speaker 1: they knew connection to Will or whatever. And I just
Speaker 1: remember getting going into the studio in New York and
Speaker 1: be like, how.
Speaker 3: You know, what do you want? And they were like, uh,
Speaker 3: I think your voice is pretty close, just a.
Speaker 1: Little kanu, and I just dropped it a little bit
Speaker 1: and you know, slowed down, and that was Brick, and
Speaker 1: watching I was like.
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, it fits this. This This look very much
Speaker 3: not me, but it fit it fit the character.
Speaker 6: Can you look at yourself as an animated character? Do
Speaker 6: you see your voice mostly or do you actually see
Speaker 6: it blended into your character?
Speaker 4: I see me if I'm doing it right. If the
Speaker 4: voice is wrong, I don't see me. And that's how
Speaker 4: I know the voice is wrong. Like, for instance, I
Speaker 4: never saw me in star Lord on Guardians of the
Speaker 4: Galaxy because I pitched the register too high, so the
Speaker 4: voice was too high for the animation that they had.
Speaker 4: And I never saw me, whereas I always see me
Speaker 4: and Ron I see me and Terry McGinnis Batman. I
Speaker 4: see me in almost every other animated character I do.
Speaker 4: But if it's not right, then I don't see myself.
Speaker 3: Interesting. Yeah, I never watch anything I've ever done. This
Speaker 3: might be the first person ever.
Speaker 4: You never watched Star Versus The Forces of Evil or whatever.
Speaker 3: The other one you know, India wanted to watch one.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was one that I was in,
Speaker 1: But you know, that's just my voice, just kind of.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mostly just do my voice.
Speaker 1: I don't really do character work, so but brick, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this was it was weird. I was definitely like, that's
Speaker 1: not me.
Speaker 3: But I guess cool.
Speaker 5: You were Emmy nominated for Kim Possible Best Best Voice Performance.
Speaker 5: Do you remember who you lost to? And should we
Speaker 5: curse them?
Speaker 6: Now? I love you, Danielle. You are keeping up this
Speaker 6: ship sailing.
Speaker 4: Nice.
Speaker 6: We were aware in their life? Yeah, I do, because
Speaker 6: I showed up and I looked really good. And oh
Speaker 6: but it's okay because it was Oh my god, why
Speaker 6: am I forgetting Clifford the Big Red Dog?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 6: And it was the gentleman who played I'm so sorry, guys,
Speaker 6: you can kill me for this. Who the fonts?
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, I take it back. I would never.
Speaker 4: Curse because he's a name. That's usually how it worked
Speaker 4: with animation, especially back in the day. Yeah, you'd have
Speaker 4: two amazing anime you know, incredible animation actors and voice actors,
Speaker 4: and then Nathan Lane and it was like, all right,
Speaker 4: I'm not well, I'm not going to win, even though
Speaker 4: he just was Nathan Lane. It's like somebody's but for
Speaker 4: those of us who have never been nominated, you should
Speaker 4: just be happy to be nominated.
Speaker 6: I'm so I don't deserve it. Yeah, when it happened,
Speaker 6: what is this happening? But you know, Shia, I think
Speaker 6: around the same. I think it was maybe the year
Speaker 6: after that, actually one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the whole thing.
Speaker 6: With Disney Channel guys, was like they were always competing
Speaker 6: with Nickelodeon, and so at that point they started realizing
Speaker 6: their programming was getting like awarded and it became really
Speaker 6: interesting where then maybe the money started coming for them,
Speaker 6: because then they were greenlighting more things. And I remember
Speaker 6: Adam came to see me record a pilot on my
Speaker 6: way out before Columbia, I got a big pilot with
Speaker 6: the creators of Friends and Stuff, and that was maybe
Speaker 6: gonna be my next thing, but it didn't well, and
Speaker 6: I was Columbia said. Anyway, long story short, Adam Bunnett said,
Speaker 6: that was my first time ever seeing a sitcom. Now
Speaker 6: I want to go do a sitcom at Disney and
Speaker 6: that is why Raven started.
Speaker 3: That's cool, and it's cheaper.
Speaker 6: Like I think it was a million dollars an episode
Speaker 6: for even Stevens, and I think it's a bit cheaper
Speaker 6: from what I was told. Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, that's why we're amazed that sitcom hasn't come back,
Speaker 4: because it's cheaper than doing single cameras.
Speaker 3: So I don't why are we not doing four? I'm
Speaker 3: not going to I'm not going to harp.
Speaker 5: Okay, you guys both just got funko pops. People always
Speaker 5: dress as the characters for Halloween, including Justin and Hayley
Speaker 5: Bieber last year. Are you surprised how much Kim Possible
Speaker 5: is like, even more in the mainstream zeitgeist now than
Speaker 5: ever before? No, No, I'm not.
Speaker 6: Probably.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is I'm really here every week, guest here,
Speaker 4: and I'm here every week.
Speaker 5: You're like, I host this show, right, you're the guest.
Speaker 4: I'm one of the show.
Speaker 3: So I'm here.
Speaker 6: No, I'm not surprised. I think Y two K is
Speaker 6: still trending. Yeah, and it's wild that it's still trending.
Speaker 6: But it is a really interesting time for our culture,
Speaker 6: and I think Kim was a really important part of
Speaker 6: that culture because I'll be honest, when Kim came out,
Speaker 6: there wasn't a lot of really great female role models
Speaker 6: outside of you did right, of course, but like for
Speaker 6: the for the tweens, right, and so what we did
Speaker 6: was a service to a whole generation of young girls
Speaker 6: who could only really look to Paras Sultan. No, no
Speaker 6: shade on Paras Sultan now. But back then she was
Speaker 6: in a heart. She had a hard time. It's like
Speaker 6: you were seeing these like bits of Kate Moss being
Speaker 6: super skinned and like any kind of women in the
Speaker 6: public eye were in mostly had. There was a lot
Speaker 6: of eating disorders, there's a lot of sex tapes, line,
Speaker 6: I mean, there was a lot of stuff I would
Speaker 6: as a mom now would really want to protect, you know,
Speaker 6: my kids from. So when Kim came out, she was
Speaker 6: a breath of fresh air for parents I'm sure, and
Speaker 6: also just girls wanting to feel like they could be
Speaker 6: popular but nice, yeah, you know, not mean, like I
Speaker 6: don't have to be a socialite, mean person. I don't
Speaker 6: have to be rich, I don't have to be this.
Speaker 6: And like even just putting her in Middleton, when you
Speaker 6: think about it, it's like she's literally the most likable,
Speaker 6: most relatable, most well intentioned person and she to that end,
Speaker 6: she really is kind of a Disney princess, like she
Speaker 6: carries virtues. Yeah, and then she made it apply to
Speaker 6: a you know, a kid's daily life.
Speaker 4: You know how rare it is, especially nowadays, to have
Speaker 4: something that you know, you can sit and watch with
Speaker 4: your kids and not have to worry about anything that's
Speaker 4: going to pop on the screen. And that's one of
Speaker 4: the things Disney Channel did better than everybody else was
Speaker 4: It's just like even nowadays we keep going back to
Speaker 4: Descendants or Zombies or the Tenth Pole kind of movies
Speaker 4: that they have, there is still kind of something for everybody.
Speaker 4: They're bright, they're fun, there's music, you're never maybe there's
Speaker 4: going to be a chaste kiss or something like that,
Speaker 4: or a Christy Carlsonmino kiss exactly. But it is. It's
Speaker 4: one of those things where you don't have to worry
Speaker 4: about it, and especially in this day and age with
Speaker 4: streaming where you could just press a button and you
Speaker 4: could see whatever you want.
Speaker 3: It's it's nice to go back to kind of the.
Speaker 4: Ease of Disney Channel in the early two thousands and
Speaker 4: Boy Meets World and stuff like that the night and
Speaker 4: so that's why so many people are that's why the
Speaker 4: Backstreet Boys are selling out night after night after night
Speaker 4: at spheres. People want to go back to that time.
Speaker 4: It just seemed safer. Probably it wasn't technically, but it
Speaker 4: just seemed like a safer, happier time. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: think that's one of the reasons. And sitting there with
Speaker 4: you at conventions and seeing a five year old girl
Speaker 4: run up to you dressed like Kim Possible, I mean,
Speaker 4: fully decked out, going like this is the best. And
Speaker 4: it's the mom or even the grandmother we're finding in
Speaker 4: in places now. We're doing that with Boyman's World too,
Speaker 4: Like my grandma loved you. It's like, oh, great, thank you,
Speaker 4: you just it's it's truly amazing that it's still there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Funkos are really cool. The Funkos took a
Speaker 6: really long time to come out. I mean, it's interesting
Speaker 6: how Kim has kind of stood the test of time
Speaker 6: in the hearts of the fans and a generation of
Speaker 6: like globally too, because she was ever there was. We
Speaker 6: were just the English speaking ones, right, like, there's kim
Speaker 6: Is everywhere across the world. There's a brick, there's a
Speaker 6: Saudi Arabian brick flag, like he's somewhere out there.
Speaker 4: Well, don't you remember what we did? It's still one
Speaker 4: of the coolest things ever did. We hosted a show
Speaker 4: at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Yeah, which is,
Speaker 4: you know, one of the one of the greatest theaters
Speaker 4: in the world, literally, and the entire show was Kim
Speaker 4: Possible themed. So it's we wes had what ten thousand
Speaker 4: was full, ten thousand screaming kids, whatever, and it's all
Speaker 4: dark and.
Speaker 3: Here do do do do?
Speaker 4: And the lights pop on and ten or fifteen Kim
Speaker 4: Possibles come down from the ceiling. Oh my god, and
Speaker 4: then it's all these know, all the local Disney UK
Speaker 4: people were hosting with us, and it was it was
Speaker 4: the whole thing was Kim Possible based, and so you're
Speaker 4: literally were standing on the stage, the Beatles were on
Speaker 4: and Adele's selling out.
Speaker 3: I mean it is literally the greatest water. That was
Speaker 3: why the show was on the air.
Speaker 4: No, this was slightly after I think wasn't when would
Speaker 4: go there, like two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight,
Speaker 4: when was that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, probably it was before. It was before Bell and
Speaker 6: it was definitely after you can see it. That's why
Speaker 6: I'm hiding my memoir right now, and I've been going
Speaker 6: on wire and it's just to remember things.
Speaker 4: Ye oh yeah, yeah, it is so yeah, but I
Speaker 4: mean it was it was everywhere. You mean, you're really
Speaker 4: really cool because it's you know, it's kind of timeless.
Speaker 4: And that's the thing that's so interesting about animation, unlike
Speaker 4: Boy Meets World, where you know, when you go see
Speaker 4: Boy Mets World in Germany, it's our faces, but there
Speaker 4: might be a German actor's voice coming out, whereas you
Speaker 4: go see Kim Possible in Germany, we got nothing to
Speaker 4: do with it. It's it's Kim and Ron and then a
Speaker 4: German actor. So to go to the kind of the
Speaker 4: English speaking countries where Kim was big, we saw how
Speaker 4: big a god. It was really really cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I know all of us and our listeners
Speaker 5: will want to know how you are doing for those
Speaker 5: who don't know, and I'm it's shocking to say it
Speaker 5: out loud. You were accidentally shot in the eye during
Speaker 5: a clay pigeon shooting accident. How are you doing now.
Speaker 6: I'm laughing, Okay, I'm alive. And if you see, you
Speaker 6: can't even see it. If I pull my skin a
Speaker 6: little bit, you can see some of the little bit
Speaker 6: of scar tissue. I actually got shot. I got bird
Speaker 6: shot scattered, which is still technically being shot. Right, So
Speaker 6: people like she didn't get shot with a bullet, I'm like,
Speaker 6: you got shot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're qualifying it.
Speaker 4: You got shot in the face with a shotgun blast,
Speaker 4: Like she didn't get shot.
Speaker 6: Two hundred feet away. Yeah. So, and this is why
Speaker 6: I really just took a term of spirituality. Not like
Speaker 6: I'm a Bible thump or anything, but it's like I
Speaker 6: just had to recognize that I received a miracle, you know.
Speaker 6: And like the reason I say it's a miracle is
Speaker 6: because where the thing entered my eye actually entered a
Speaker 6: fat pocket. And then that was miracle number one, right,
Speaker 6: And then the miracle number two is that it landed
Speaker 6: behind the eyeball one millimeter, which is a tiny pencils
Speaker 6: hit from anything critical that would have blinded this eye.
Speaker 6: So when I went to the trauma surgeons, they were like,
Speaker 6: there's multiple miracles at play here, but we don't we don't,
Speaker 6: we can't say their miracles. And I really had to
Speaker 6: sit with that and just be like, well, you know,
Speaker 6: I'm never going shooting again and trying to be cool
Speaker 6: and trial life. But to be fair, Special Forces had
Speaker 6: just come out, and I guess I was on a
Speaker 6: high with it's a crazy show. Don't ever do it, guys,
Speaker 6: don't don't y'all Danielle here on Dancing with the Stars
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 5: That's much more of my wheelhouse, much more of my
Speaker 5: wheelhouse been shot.
Speaker 4: Even though I've never.
Speaker 5: Had any dance experience, there is for sure chance I
Speaker 5: will not get shot in the eye.
Speaker 3: So I knocking wood knockingwood is because.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, okay, I'll pray for you, and also
Speaker 6: Team Danielle once again, thank.
Speaker 5: You so much.
Speaker 4: No. I just remember seeing the It was it was
Speaker 4: like something came out and it was just hey, pray
Speaker 4: pray for us or something like that, and I instantly
Speaker 4: called Brendan. I'm like, dude, what happened? And I'll just
Speaker 4: never forget. He's like, oh, yeah, Christy got shot in
Speaker 4: the face. I was like, wait what because he's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: it was and he explained the whole story, but it
Speaker 4: was just like she got wait what and then you
Speaker 4: like hopped on the phone like hey, yeah, her face.
Speaker 4: They were face timing because you're like, yeah, look at
Speaker 4: all and I'm just like and you're all just all
Speaker 4: sorts of up and you're like, yeah, I got a
Speaker 4: shotgun blast of the face. And I was just like, wait,
Speaker 4: wait what because you don't you can't comprehend what you
Speaker 4: just said that you.
Speaker 6: Just it was on ABC Nightly News, Like I was like,
Speaker 6: how are you not gonna It had the word Disney
Speaker 6: and it had shot and a face element. So I
Speaker 6: was like, well, clearly, And here's the reason I even
Speaker 6: shared it. Okay, guys, I shared it because I had
Speaker 6: a clarance ad that was coming up and I didn't
Speaker 6: and I was like, well, skincare. I love skincare. But
Speaker 6: I was like, shoot, like I'm not just gonna put
Speaker 6: I can't hide from this reality, Like I can't pretend
Speaker 6: this didn't happen, and I was really forced to look
Speaker 6: inside and be like, all right, this like ad like,
Speaker 6: if they drop it because it's on deadline, screw them, right,
Speaker 6: But they didn't. They're lovely. And then I just went
Speaker 6: ahead and shot something and was like, this is what happened.
Speaker 6: And I was trying to be as authentic and honest
Speaker 6: as I could be in that moment. It was scary
Speaker 6: moment and it wasn't like I was doing that for
Speaker 6: views at all. I was just trying to Yeah, I
Speaker 6: was just trying to share something, and strangely, a lot
Speaker 6: of people who have had eye damage like came out.
Speaker 6: It's like a niche group of people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's always a group, the Sisterhood of Eyes Lost.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: They're like, we're a group of people. We're here for you.
Speaker 6: It's like, it's great, somebody, right.
Speaker 3: Did you do your skincare ad like? And that's when I, oh, oh,
Speaker 3: oh no, I didn't do that.
Speaker 6: That's good, horrible, Like, listen, we need to keep we
Speaker 6: need to keep feeding these babies. I got two of them.
Speaker 5: It really it really was the most kim possible accident
Speaker 5: you could have possibly had. You're basically now a superhero,
Speaker 5: so what would Ron have said to make her feel better?
Speaker 6: Will?
Speaker 4: Probably, Hey, at least it didn't hit your eye.
Speaker 6: Ron, It totally did.
Speaker 4: It went behind it and went into a fat pocket.
Speaker 4: You explained the whole thing. You're fine, come on, let's go.
Speaker 4: You really shot, yea, let's go get a nacho. You
Speaker 4: weren't really shot. It was just bird shot. It was
Speaker 4: two hundred yards away.
