7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: you get a real star on the show. Daffy does

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: absolutely nothing better.

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: This is the first fully animated Looney Tunes feature film

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: to go to cinema, which is amazing.

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 3: First time in ninety years for these characters. This is

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 3: my normal voice.

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 4: Yes, which one's that?

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 5: Eric, the craziest one of them all.

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: Basically, you know, no NBA basketball players or the use

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: of AI were used in this movie.

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: So you know, it's just a straight up classic kind

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: of pairing of Porky and Daffy.

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 5: We all know theolvester.

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna eat that yellow bird if it's

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: the last thing I do.

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 5: And he said, I tid a top body, tad.

23
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: And we know, uh lely lely quiet I'm.

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: Doing in primary school? Were you just crazy at school?

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 5: This is it?

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: You know, I was the class I assume that we

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: are all the class clowns here, Yeah, basically doing these voices.

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 3: But yeah, Porky and Daffy they were also a very

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 3: famous pairing in the Looney Tunes kind of universe. Uh where,

30
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: anytime I would start watching a Porky and Daffy short,

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: I would always say, Oh, poor Porky, how is Daffy

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: going to ruin his life today? And that's kind of

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: like what this movie is.

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you being Daffy Duck and Poky

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna ask if it's hard to go from

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: one to the other, but you're pretty much just chanced that.

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 5: No, it's not. In this instance.

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of easy when you're kind of just dealing with,

39
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: you know, short conversations, but in.

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: A movie you kind of have to really get a

41
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: grasp of the scene.

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, the situation.

43
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: You know, you want to take your time with it,

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 3: and you want to make sure you stick the landing

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 3: because you know, today's audience they looked, they look for

46
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: those loose threads.

47
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 4: Yes, Porky Pig ninetieth anniversary, you're looking damn good and

48
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: sounding fine. Porky for ninety it's incredible.

49
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 5: Well, my secret is is I don't wear pants.

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 4: It's young, young, and fresh.

51
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: Your resume is very impressive. I mean you've already done

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: a few. But there's also mob in the Martian.

53
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 5: Oh yes, it's a bad lovely Earth creature. I do

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 5: enjoy your show, but it blocks my view of Venus.

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 5: I love movin. Thank you?

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: What are you waiting for for?

57
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: That?

58
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: That was a personal trait, that one. How does one

59
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: become a voice actor? Eric?

60
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it all happened by accident with me.

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: I was actually working in animation as a character layout artist.

62
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: I used to be an artist before before I became

63
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: a voice of artist.

64
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 5: But again, I just can't keep my big mouth shut.

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 3: So people started noticing the voices and impressions I was doing,

66
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: and they would be like, why don't we throw Eric

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: in the booth and see how he does? And you know,

68
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: I broke all my pencils. Ever since, I never turned back.

69
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 4: Some of the cartoon fans that they Pikia because we

70
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: know the sci fi fans you have to get it

71
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: right if you're doing that.

72
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely with Looney Tunes fans, you know, we all know

73
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: the great mel Blank was the original actor behind these characters.

74
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: And I always tell people if it weren't for mel blank,

75
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: I would be delivering your pizza for dinner today.

76
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: With the chief with a gratuity.

77
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Were you were your parents on board with your Korea pump?

78
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 5: Oh?

79
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, my parents, you know, thought I

80
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: was possessed and then they would call the priest the

81
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: holy water.

82
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 5: But you know now that I'm helping them pay the mortgage,

83
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 5: it's all fine.

84
00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, of course that'sal. But we met about being

85
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: the class clan. But did you have actually really get

86
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: into trouble for doing voice?

87
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 5: I was, you know, quite the opposite.

88
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe that's the difference between the schools everywhere else,

89
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: but in Canada they applaud people with funny voices that

90
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: live in their heads. You know, I grew up in

91
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 3: the same town as Mike Myers and Jim Carrey. That

92
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: was kind of the backdrop of my youth, and rather

93
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: than scold me or prevent me from doing voices, they

94
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: would actually say, Okay, look, if you get your work

95
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: done tomorrow in the morning, you could head to the

96
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 3: main office and read the morning announcements as whatever characters

97
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: you want.

98
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 5: Sometimes I would read it as bugs, other times Homer

99
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 5: Simpson serving oh, Homer, don't go to.

100
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: The cafeteria they have hot dogs, which is there has

101
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: there never been one that you just couldn't get you

102
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: your mouth around, you.

103
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 5: Know, Batman? Maybe because I just don't I wouldn't look good.

104
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: And the Batman costume, I don't know, haven't. I haven't

105
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 5: met the height requirement.

106
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: There's the mental block there stopping her.

107
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: Look at you can work in situation.

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 5: You know. It's funny.

109
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: We were going to talk to you last week, Eric,

110
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: and you'd lost your voice, which is a fairly routine

111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: event in anyone else's life, but for you, system shutdown.

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: I know, I say, as bugs Bunny, oh Brether, there

113
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: goes me bread and butter. That only ever happens, like

114
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: like clockwork, once a year, and that's after Diego Comic Con.

115
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 3: But talking, So, when we were doing this press tour,

116
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: it was on the eve. I also happened to host

117
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: the Emmy Awards that same weekend that the movie came out,

118
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 3: and it just all kind of came to a halt,

119
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: and I think my body was saying, Okay, dude, time

120
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: to say that's all for hell, folks. You know, a

121
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 3: good day, one day of vocal rest, will we will

122
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 3: work wonders on your vocal cord.

123
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: That's what only us from bands assigned to us day.

124
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 4: It's about talking to pickle after gigs. Just go home,

125
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 4: got a bit early. It's not about the necessarily drinking

126
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 4: or whatever.

127
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: It's you know, when you're you're in a crowded room,

128
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: it's already you know, you're talking over each other.

129
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 5: Then they start playing the loud music. Sound like fog.

130
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 5: I say, fog horn leg hole, I think on that.

131
