[Assistant] Uhm, and fitness means a lot of different things and also fitness isn't always easy. They could have made a commercial where they showed how easy it was for her to fit this bike into her routine. But they, I guess maybe their goal was, well, let's be a little more realistic about this and let's show how scary fitness can be and how you have to be committed, how it has to be something for you to kind of anticipate.

[Assistant] Oh, she was so unhappy before and now she's so happy because she has lost this number has now changed to be a lower number. That seems shitty. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eva and her IUD on Twitter. She makes a lot of funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's interesting that you did that for me and that she like kind of goes and elaborates and it's really funny and it's comedy or whatever. But I don't know, I just thought it was interesting how people had such a reaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think there's definitely a difference between being a man and a woman. And, if you're a man, you might be interested in or sponsor hymns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's cut through the sponsorship BS. Are you dealing with hair loss or thinning?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that make you feel uncomfortable? Or do you wish there was an affordable solution to how that makes you feel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it's absolutely worth your time to look into hymns. 66% of men start losing their hair by age 35, and that's okay. But if you've spoken with your doctor and have decided you want something different,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] HIMSS, a one stop shop for hair loss, skin care, and sexual wellness for men, provides convenient and affordable solutions backed by science. HIMSS uses FDA approved products and licensed physicians to treat hair loss and the anxiety that comes with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Skip long lines at the pharmacy because HIMS will connect you with real doctors online who will determine if a custom treatment plan is right for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's convenient, it's discreet, it's confidential, it only takes a few minutes. So try hymns today by starting out with a free online visit. Go to 4hymns.com slash dude. That's F-O-R-H-I-M-S dot com slash dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, uh, and yeaah. So, I mean, any other final thoughts on the peloton?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't tried it. I haven't tried Orange Theory. I've thought about giving it a try because I always like testing everything. I did my brief stint with CrossFit earlier this year and I was like, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not really fair, that guy's going into cardiac arrest. That means he's in the red. So orange is actually, there's like green, which means you're not working out hard enough, red means you're working out too hard, and then orange is where they want you. I want the better ver- I want a red theory. Red theory?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys heard about the Youtube policy? Youtube changing policy? Yea, yea. Where uhm, it's like the, the kit thing where if you're, if you're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Mortal, big thing was I think when Mortal Kombat, the most recent Mortal Kombat was coming out, a lot of people that were playing it, uhm, or streaming it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause there's basically a move that allows you to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just show x-rays of skulls being cracked or whatever. And I know Maximillian, a fighting game channel that I really like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What he would do is he'd like to have to desaturate or change or make it all green or like do some sort of like some sort of thing in post for all of his videos anytime something like that happened. You see it right? The x-ray stuff or like spikes go through people's heads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess it mostly looked for blood and stuff, common signs of violence. So if you put like a green filter on it, like it wouldn't notice it. But he had to do that for all of his videos, even though it's a video game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have phoned help. Well, they've changed their policy recently and tweaked their algorithm, I guess. Uhm, every once in a while. I always imagine YouTube as the uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So someone, someone, they sent a child down into the engine of the machine and said, can you move some wires around? And they used their tiny little toddler hands to change it so that way, which I guess it was pretty easy, now it recognizes video games as scripted violence. So for example, you could have made a short film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Blaine or Chris, you know, you're both very capable, uh, made a short film that had an action sequence in it where there's some John Wick fighting and then your main character, let's call him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kicks a guy in the side of the head, cracks his jaw, he hits his head on the side of a barrel and there's blood everywhere and he goes down and the pool of blood spills out in front of him. You could just do an actual example, talk about Arizona Circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mind boggling how it took that long to flip that switch. Video games are less violent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realistically, like there has to be an actual human being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the whole thing about it too is like, it's just a nonsense, it's just, all it does is it doesn't stop him from making those videos, and it shouldn't. It just means now there's this extra step.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This extra stupid, and once you see that kind of hypocrisy kind of happening there, it's like, oh, it can't be violent. And I'm like, well, it's still violent, it's just green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a green skull getting smashed like an alien skull. Like my human brain is still processing this the exact same way. Right. But the robot has been pleased. So we may move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I mean, yeah, that's a, it's a whole different beast of figuring out how to take something that is already taking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zippity doo da was just like a Disney song, you know, right?

[Assistant] There's gonna be a Star Wars kids game show coming to Disney Plus. Why are you laughing? It sounds incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's basically every single shot in those kids' game shows is cut right after the kid gets shoved into it like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But none of them have anything to do with each other and then they're trying to answer the trivia by stomping that thing in the middle and it's just not working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I felt the same way. I would get very frustrated watching those things, but man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's like, there's a YouTube video out there, I don't have the link to it, but there's a YouTube video of this kid who just, he can't get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we think game shows will be a thing on these SFOD services though? Game shows seem like the perfect, like, you're just going through channels, like it was perfect for 90s kids, cause you just would be sitting in front of a TV and you'd, oh it doubled there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, an event thing, like people would watch who's, uh, who wants to be a millionaire and it was all happening at once and people would like react real time versus like a streaming service where it's like, I'm gonna watch this right now and go to fall sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, it's a format, right? So like one episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple is identical to another episode and the only reason you kind of watch it is because it's on, right? So there's, there's a show on Netflix, I don't remember what it's called, but it's a game show where the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Events are really dumb. It's just stuff like trying to drink a smoothie or trying to throw, uh, uh, balloons at a spike on the ceiling and then grab the money and change that falls out. The only catch is that all of the contestants


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They stay up for 24 hours in this bright room, like this completely bright room, counting quarters. And then they have to remember, because they don't have a calculator or anything, remember how many quarters they counted, because that's the amount of money they can potentially win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, they all are trotted out after 24 hours to start the actual shooting of the game show. And then, the first thing is they go, how many quarters do you think you counted? And they'll go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then from there, they whittle it down with these really basic events. Like the events cost nothing to produce. One, one was we have a fro- an icy. And you have to drink as much of the icy as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 90 seconds because I guess the theory is that when you're sleep deprived you're more prone to brain freeze and they're worse. So they have to do it as much as possible and they all do it with basically like these horse blinders on or like in these little cubicles so they can't see the other person compete. Then they all go back and they go, okay,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, we're gonna offer $5,000 if you're just willing to walk away because you think you did the worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you were the worst, and no one steps forward, someone has to get eliminated and you leave with zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like you're given the option to just like suck, like you're, I did terrible, but you have no idea how well anyone else did. There's another, the other one was threading a needle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like as a kid, when you have no control over what you want to watch, you're like you do. I get it though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the only reason Luke was able to shoot those womp rats is because he had the force in him. He just didn't know it. He thought, he thought to him it was easy because he's, you know, back home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there something, is there an event, I know Blaine, you are a big Star Wars fan, so if you could be a child, which you can't be, and go on the show, which you won't, uh, what would you, what event would you want to compete in the most?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think Disney is digging too far deep into Star Wars?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they making their two brands too synonymous? I think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he was a bad guy. His voice was a hopper. Oh, he was! Yea, that's why they took it out. And they said, well, what are we going to do? And someone said, I guess we can put it in Marvel, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, come on, you mean I can't enjoy any bug-based movies?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess. I'm genuinely, I think, I mean, I have no doubt that this Star Wars movie that's coming out in only a few short weeks will do gangbusters. But, if it doesn't, what? I know it's coming. No, no you don't. Yeah I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if it doesn't do gangbusters, I think that they should just start with a clean slate. Because I think a clean slate is always better, especially when it comes to your teeth.

[Assistant] So thank you Quip for your sponsorship. Uhm, no we weren't going to talk about cats, but now we're going to talk about cats. Something that's pure, not corporate. Yes, let's hit that logo, hit that header.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't get my stuff, I completely forgot that. That's okay. Should be on my desk, thank you. Uhm, before he gets here, because as you know, Countdown to Cats is a show that I, it's my favorite show. Uhm, and it's a, thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, great, uhm, and it's a show where I make sure people, cause it's a very class, it's a classic musical, alright, there's a lot to it, a lot of working parts, but it's also a little different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I purposely didn't look it up because I wanted to have fresh reactions. So a lot of people were letting me know, and I appreciate it, but of course I get the Google news alert. So thank you very much. Set that up right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your treasures. My treasures, I just got this, I went to a screening. You can go, there's nothing in there. You can go trick or treating with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The director, Tom Hooper, has admitted that they have made some changes to the cat's visual effect. That's sacred. You can't do sonic in it. My big thing was I was like, well I'm glad that they're not doing the sonic route. There's backlash and there's a redesign. I'm glad they're sticking to their guns and people are going, woah, well they're actually changing things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to clarify his statements, one of the things he said is when you watch the finished film, you'll see that some of the designs of the cats have moved on since then, and certainly our understanding of how to use the technology to make them work has gone up too. The way they filmed this was, I don't think they used motion capture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For most of this stuff, I think they just film the actors and then they're using a new computer technology to just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plop cat stuff on top of them. Really? Yeaah. Seems like it's working great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just want to clarify that I don't think they're changing, I would interpret this as they're not going back to the drawing world. This isn't, this isn't a Sonic McClunky type scenario. Right. Okay. This is just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're learning to use the tools they have, some, you know, we're all editors here, we've all worked on projects, and when you start, you have an idea of how it's gonna go, and then during the process, you go, oh, we can fine tune this. This movie comes out in two weeks. Yeah, they're still figuring it out. It's evolving. It's evolving. It's an ever evolving process. It needs to be done. Lots of trailers have unfinished VFX.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember the Star Wars one where Kylo Ren didn't have a reflection in the ship?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. One of the best film BTS getting off topic, but one of the best film BTS's that I've ever watched is the making of Transformers 2. Because Michael Bay is just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, he's just crazy and they're at the Tokyo premiere of the movie and he's still doing remote color correction on what will be the US domestic release. He's still going frame by frame and saying this. So the Tokyo one was not even the same version that everyone else watched. He was still fine tuning stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, but I don't think we have to worry about the cat's design changing that dramatically. The new trailer dropped only a week ago or so and it still looks great. It still looks like it's gonna be a blast and I frankly can't wait to go see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, without further ado, let's move on to the educational portion of Countdown to Cats, the trivia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can we throw up that trivia there? Okay, so, every week I do a little bit of trivia. Don't worry, you don't have to know the answers. It's a learning experience. That's the beauty of cats. We've, so we've gone through almost all of the cats by name. We've learned all, Adam you've been here for basically every episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, he knows one though. Which is more than Bumble, Bumble, Bumble Arena? Old, Deuter, Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, so you guys don't have to know the answers, but we've already covered a lot of cat's lore. We've talked about the species, the actual domestic species of cow's cat. The genus. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, the genus. Uhm, and so now we're moving into, well, let's get into the mind of the creator of the musical, not T.S. Eliot, the person who wrote the poems on which the musical is based, but the person who interpreted Cats into what we're gonna see on the screen, Andrew Lloyd Webber. Psychopath. So I've, I've compiled some trivia about Andrew Lloyd Webber,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does he get a prize? He- knowledge is the prize. No, you have to give those back. Sorry, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Starlight Express, one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's very popular musicals. In Germany. Is based on what children's property? It looks like a Transformers porno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Andrew Lloyd Webber is a prestigious EGOT title holder. What does EGOT stand for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've abbreviated it because I got tired of typing it out. ALW is the only composer to have how many simultaneous productions running in London's West End.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frandresher. Frandresher is a great answer. Paul T. Fomkins. Paul T. Fomkins, let's see the correct answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For just even a brief moment. He can probably do an impression of you too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we have one question. One more question left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrew Lloyd Webber became a one hit wonder with what song? I was one years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best thing about this question is I wasn't sure what was better trivia, the name of the song or the name he used.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eddie Murphy, Party Art Time? Yeah. Okay. He wrote it. Eddie performed it. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't, he wasn't in the police, was he? He was not, to the best of my knowledge. Damn. Could have been though. Could have been in Genesis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tetris. He wrote the Tetris theme? He wrote a remix of the Tetris theme song. That's his?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That became a worldwide sensation in 1991. He is a multi-faceted talent, a hero, and the creator of the musical Cats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. That's ALW. Yeah, I was gonna say technically it was Dr. Spin for the sake of his accounting books. This is his Chris Gaines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're gonna learn mostly about ourselves when we all check out Cats in Theaters December 20th. Not a sponsor. Only 17 days away. Not a sponsor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can. No one's stopping you. Joel and I are gonna go. I told Joel that we might rent tuxedos and go, and he said, rent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have any guests you wanna tease coming up? Cause the whole thing is this show has a lot of great guests. You have way better guests than most other podcasts do. John Lennon for example. Oh, oh. Any good guests you wanna tease?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well we had Santa. Okay. The actual Santa. The actual Santa. The actual Santa. Yes. Okay. We had Medusa. Medusa. Medusa, that's cool. Okay. Cool. If you ever need, if you ever need Anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea? Yea. We had Guy Ferrari. Fire-ari. Ferrari? No. This last week. It's his, if I recall, it's his alias from hell. Yes. But when he goes up to earth to dine, dive and dash or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming up in our finale. It's gonna be our baby Yoda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, and then also want to mention, uh, buy two get one free on all Funhaus merch this Friday, December 6th at the Rooster Teeth store. Cyber Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lot of fun. And remember, cats, you can buy your tickets now, I think. They're not a sponsor. You can get your tickets now if you want to. You get nothing from this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the reverse, uh, yeaah, what's, uh, you're just promoting, you know, ours a term for it though, yeaah. Sellout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's there? Hey, I'm just trying to get his pizza! Well, the door is open, come on in. Alright, where should I stand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Guy, it's a free country. Why don't you approach the counter here? What did you like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we're actually out of pepperoni right now, so you wanna maybe make another choice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, are you, uh, getting a little bit of pushy in here with me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that just like a different language or is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what it means in Latin? Actually, it's not how the Greeks pronounced it. How did the Greeks pronounce it? Wait, not even the Greeks, Roman. Cause apparently it's unus annus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's the perfect way to do it because if you can say a random string of words and it makes, uh, one of us laugh, we know there's something there. Like, we haven't figured out the video for it, but we have an idea called the laxative olympics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I like had just released, uh, my big project, A Heist with Markiplier, and then a few days before that, I, I, we were at Buffalo, I was figuring it out, and then we were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was better that way. I think, like, the whole channel's premise is just like, everything's temporary, you don't know something's there until it's there, and when it's there you gotta take your chance with it, like, whether you're ready or not, and so we wanted to just kind of like, throw it out of nowhere and see what


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't feel under pressure. I don't feel under pressure. No. We've been doing this for so long. Yeaah. Like, I used to do two videos a day. Did you do two videos a day as well? I did two videos a day for a while, yeaah. It's not a big deal. Yeaah. Every other YouTuber is a lazy prick and we're better than all of them. Right? Am I right, man? A day is a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, yeah, we'll take down what we can, but in all honesty, the truth is it doesn't matter if they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the point of the channel is not about the videos themselves. Because even though we just said there's a standard to the video, but the point is the experience when it's happening. If people aren't there the year that Unisonus existed, and then someone's like, hey I got this funny video that I downloaded, like no one's gonna care because there's no meaning behind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, not really. I mean, what would we talk to him about? The benefit of what we have is a very active audience. We have, we just crossed two million subscribers. Today! Today!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and we get like, in the first 24 hours, like one, one to one point million views. So, and that's all just from people, uh, who have like notifications turned on. We have an abnormally high percentage of people with notifications turned on. Like the active number of people that are there in the first 30 minutes is way higher than on my channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's just, uh, it's fascinating to see that people are responding to the urgency of it. And like, there are people that I've seen posting about like panicking about getting behind on videos because they're like, I haven't watched them, like, what is gonna happen? And uh, there is just that fear of missing out. And it's not like we intentionally went for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause our videos averaged like about 15 minutes, um, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if it's 15 minutes, 365, uh, that would be 91 hours of content, roughly. Um, some are more, some are less, average. Uh, so, if people don't get there within like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, in the last two weeks, in the last month, people are gonna not be able to just from life, work schedule, stuff like that. Uhm, so yeaah, we remind people of this every video. We talk about death a lot in every video, and it makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but we're just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, opportunities pass by all the time. If you don't pay attention, it will be gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are mutually exclusive. Yeah, I mean, it's just like, I used to work as a deck builder for about two years. Uhm, so I know my way around wood, basic stuff, I'm not an expert and I'll license anything like that, but I have had this- Conflict.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but, I've known for a while that he doesn't really know a lot about it, so I just wanted to give him a few tests, uh, to do it. So, you know, got some wood, got a tool belt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a lot of tools you didn't have. And then I just set him to task and then he did everything I hoped he would. Which is everything wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you got a six foot piece of wood and you need a four foot piece and a two foot piece, you can't just cut it at the two foot mark because now each piece is not two feet, not four feet. It's three feet like 11 inches and 15 sixteenths. I learned that two by fours

[Assistant] I don't know of any toy that can actually do that. They're flying pretty close together, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of them. Well, we're not doing that crazy, like, sexual stuff. Most of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know Jenna Marbles did something like that for her dog, Marbles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see Parasite? No. The only movies I've seen in the past six months because I've been that busy is Cats. That's all you need. My name! Star Wars. That's all you need to see. I was taken there because Amy was like, you have to see it. And you were like, you have to see it. I'm like, okay. So you're campaigning for Cats but not Parasite?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never laughed harder when- What was that cat's name? Like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She just cried a lot. She was a prostitute. Oh I didn't know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Can't wait. I wonder if they just released a version of Cats with no special effects. As a DVD. Like, I bet it would be fun. It would be so fun. Because I can't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have a problem, because I accept it, they're trying to be cats. I get it. Cats do weird shit like that. I don't, like, it's like, I'm okay with that, because at least that's true to the message, and you can't see their faces. So, alright, they're cats. It's weird, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was fully animated, like 3D animated, the same CG that they did for the costumes, just do it all. Even if they look kind of human, it would have been fine. Or they could have made like some kind of cat that had the nimbleness to do more dances, like a Disney style cat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make it a cat movie. I bet it was so much fun because they were just doing the play. Yeah. Literally. They were doing the play and all they needed to do was a bunch of times. So I bet it was super fun. This is an Oscar discussion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, yeah, that's like a, uh, what was the movie, uh, Oscar? No, no. Well, kinda, yeah. Yeah, but, uh, it was like... Cat Orphan. Cat Orphan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I didn't bother, I don't care. The film's garbage, it's disgusting. Like why would anyone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boom, kaboom. Some writer in their, in their like bedroom was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know it's, Star Wars is far from hard science, but why did they have to go through the red nebula to get to the planet when there was, they clearly did a wide shot around it. Like there was, space is big, like they could have just like, not in the middle, the whole fleet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, why did they completely eliminate all that lovely, beautiful Rogue One stuff about, like, the Kyber crystals being super rare and this weapon needed all of them and it was, oh god, so hard, and then all the Star Destroyers could do the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like ties you to a board and it's like this big strap and it just goes oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're hitting them, what if their ribs break and then you just punch a bit of bone straight through their heart and lungs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you know what? Egg on my face. Take away my degree. Yeah, you don't have one. Joke's off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna go first? If they're watching this before November 14th, 2020, they can find us at Unisonus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder who did that. Whoops. Whoopsies. Oh that reminds me, I owe you another paintball because of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also not quite futuristic enough where it's that scene from episode 2 where the guy goes, Obi-Wan, how's it going? And you're like, why is he talking to that guy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I know, I think SA Martinez is still in 311, but Nick Hexham has sort of become really it for 311, but I always wonder if he's just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is music. I don't know many bands with two singers. That's kind of rare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did they do a song for Puss in Boots?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went to a Smashing Pumpkins show last year, where Mark McGrath from- You were there too. Yea, yea, yea. It was the weirdest thing where it's like, oh cool we're here for a Smashing Pumpkins show. Opens with Metric, a Canadian band that was heavily featured in Scott Pilgrim Saves the World.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's- Here they are! Perfect Circle's like Tool 2.0. That was like- But I've never been a Tool fan, or a Perfect Circle fan, but I know people who love it, love it. So I'm like, good for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not my favorite, but one that I'm a big fan of is Foo Fighters. From the Ashes of Nirvana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Billy Corgan was like on the cover of like Cats Monthly or something. He's just like conservative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's just, his big gut and then he's wearing a turtle neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the first time I remember a friend of mine was like, he put on this, this album. I was like, what is that? He's like, it's Finch. And I'm like, what's Finch? He's like, they put out pre-orders on their website. I'm like, what's a website?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyone's like, oh, I found it on their website. They're like, oh, people are selling music online. Interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I haven't kept up with country in any way, shape or form, but from my understanding, Taylor Swift was country, right? And then she made that transition to pop, but no one really noticed because it all kind of sounds the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's, I guess maybe there's, maybe there's like a bit of like artist envy. Cause I know a lot of like Bowie was like that where everyone looked at David Bowie and like, God, I wish I could be doing that. And he's like, I wish I had money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I never, is there a time lapse I can watch? Or we can just put up on the screen where we have a picture of him playing. I just want to see a time lapse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hard cut to him, he's, uh, the drill starts to yell at him like, To do a push-up and go all the way down, he goes, I don't. I hold this verse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's his Rocky moment. That's his Cal Drogo. Yeah. And then he came back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could, I could maybe, like for funds, like if it was a, if we were doing like a charity thing, I could try to like re-watch the same movie over and over. I could maybe try to do that. Like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eggs, bacon, coffee, rock'n'roll picture show. I was just like. How do you find the time? Yea, I was like, he goes on vacation, and he's like, honey, put the portable DVD player away, and he's like, nope, gotta watch it. Hopefully Frankenfurter does something weird this time. It's just like, I want the ports. I could game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Count that when you try to get the last Fierce Deity mask, to get that last mask, it's like an 8 hour mission you do basically. Yeah. I think it will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are you projecting James' thoughts onto a video screen? Oh, there we go. Ah, this is him now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're looking at Arnold getting his back massaged. Sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I figured like, I wonder if CD Projekt Red is sort of showing what the Series X is going to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was my thought, where it's like, hey, you can buy this game, uhm, you can buy it on Xbox One, but if you buy Series X, they'll be waiting for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just transfers right over, which is kinda what they were trying to do with the initial launch of the Xbox One, except they borked it so poorly when they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can pick that up. I am getting real excited for Halo Infinite. Yeah. I don't know what happened. Halo's now old enough that it's coming back around where I'm like, it's nostalgic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, let's do it. You can do it since 3. Yeah, that was always kinda crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, because there was Last of Us, right? And then they did Last of Us Remaster, which is, I guess, technically selling a new game, but it is, yeaah, so they do this all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so okay, if you're talking that, if you're saying you put the Series X somewhere in your house, you put an X to your router, and then you have a little...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wireless, you know, HDMI transmitter or whatever, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, that is also Microsoft's thing where they're like, oh, do you like Xbox games? Play it on your phone, play it on your Switch, we don't care. We just want to, just let us in your life. That seems to be their idea moving forward where they're just like, it's just a piece of plastic, whatever, and that seems to be where it's going anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fundamentally plays in, I mean, they built it from the ground up, obviously. They didn't, the only asset they had was a- Inspired by a game. They have a concept art of Leon Kennedy and they go, make it kinda look like that but better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're entering a new territory this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I mean, Cyberpunk seems to be a game that you would upgrade for, I think. That seems to be, that's something you would probably want to play. Are you not going to play Cyberpunk?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see, like, Ori is coming out, Doom is coming out, uh, Animal Crossing, there's like, I think it's just been, we're going through a bit of a dry spell right now, like, what was the last, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just trying to think of the last thing where everyone in the office is like, are you playing this game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, I played that one. Yea. It's really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't think it even goes up to 240 frames. I think it caps off at about 200 maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like yea, like something like cyberpunk, it's like I want to, that's a game I want to like move fast, look fluid, but also I don't need in 4k, 1440p is fine. Uhm, anyway, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is, uhm, one last thing. I was watching this video, uhm, there's a channel 10,000 times bigger than we'll ever be at Linus Tech Tips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where he built a computer for his house. It's just one computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a 64-bit processor. It's like the new ones that are coming out. It's a really great video. But he basically puts a brain in the middle of his house and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I keep thinking like, oh maybe that's the future. I think that's where we're going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your computer is just one thing that sits in the middle of your house and then you just have a plug that comes out of the wall and you go, computer, he goes here now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like that's sort of the next step, but the idea is that they're running, I think in the video they run four computers off of just this one motherboard, because it has so much RAM, it has so much processing power, that you can put them all at max capacity, and they're all running separate instances of Windows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, I can see that with a console. We're like, this console can just run multiple once this is in multiple rooms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, no, I think the idea works with apartments too, where it's like, it just goes here next to the router and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of having to put another console in another room, it's just a plug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just everything with like the way things are going with cloud computing and stuff and it's not really working, but that technology working in a home environment or an apartment or a school or a business where it's like, you don't have to buy multiple computers anymore, you buy one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone's going to figure it out where they're like, we have created the business computer and they're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, our friend of ours, Erin Marquise showed me the clip of The Giggler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From, uh, Death Wish 3 or 4 or something like that. They're like, that's the guy who killed the Giggler!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he's, he's the guy I remember who was like, he made Sam Raimi put Venom in Spider-Man 3. Yeah, yeah. Sam Raimi was like, I don't care about Venom, he's like, kids will love it. Yeah. And they put him in there, and they were like, right. And then it was like, it feels a little, it feels a little full. A little heavy. There's a lot going on. A little bloated in this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No mention of Skywalker, I mean, I guess, I mean, there's a cameo essentially. Right. But that's about, there's like two cameos and they're, they're brief and they're actually enjoyable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old ones. Yeah. I didn't get through much of three, but I saw the part where zero showed up, and I was like, why does he talk like that? Oh, he talks in haikus, that's right. I remembered that. Then I went, I remember, I liked playing as zero. Oh, I don't get to play as zero. Play as new zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's that movie where Keanu Reeves makes out with those two girls, one of which is wife. Knock knock. Oh yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that's like a moment in The Simpsons and Spinal Tap's playing and they're like, we love playing and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been working on that Battle Angel movie for fifty years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know he wants to wash the taste out of his mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was called Pussy Juice. Am I wrong? Oh man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's also like from three years ago of drunk gameplays where someone sent it by... There's some taste in there that I just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm amazed how many of them were clear, honestly. Yeah, I was surprised by that. It's like, what is the dominant energy drink?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we saw a near-finished version of the first episode, and I'm biased because we're in it or whatever, but like, there's some like, we were crying watching some of the stuff, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I saw the Try Guys video come out where they were like, we're gonna build friends. Okay, ours is way different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They did. Forest doesn't know. He did. He died of her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was good. I also did a lot of sleeping. Uhm, I watched Freaks and Geeks Undeclared and like Four Seasons of the Office and like 30 movies. Wow. So yeah, not uncut gems. I guess you could say it was a little productive. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nonsense. I mean it could, there's probably, that's probably, might be a real story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been there. You're a missionary there? No. This is my brother. Okay. Who had a mental breakdown and traveled Central America. Oh cool. Yeah. That's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well it probably flushed before you went. You ruined an industrial toilet. You destroyed it. He's here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, it's like when you shoot on videotape, you call it filming a movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a computer and I had a camcorder that had firewire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one I remember was, uh, and this is a specific reference that you'll get, uh, it was called two gay ninjas, a dog, and a pizza place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know about you guys, I make my Christmas list in January, so. But right now you're making it for next year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything that can get smaller. I miss my little chocolate. I miss it. What? LG chocolate. Your chocolate. I miss chocolate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mindy Kaling tweeted about that recently where she's like, I, I, sometimes I wish the office was still going because I would have loved to do Michael Scott's take on this, this and that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want one that's flat that slides behind the television. Like a digital antenna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, or just like, that doesn't exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it sounds goofy, but could you imagine parallel parking by just going sideways?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It runs The Witcher 3, also, on the SNES console.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like we hadn't reached the like oversaturated like creative market that we're in now where there's just so much stuff to look at, so many spectacles, so many things. That wasn't the case in 2009.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought they already had these in Japan for like elderly people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you imagine a 90 year old man competing in a decathlon? Cause he's got that? Cause he's got the exoskeleton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rainbow Sherbert, yeaah. That's the implication. Maybe it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I mean, in terms of impossible stuff, I feel like- It's possible. Well yes, it's possible, but I feel like if fast food restaurants could cut out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, if it could save them money in the long run, if they could cut out the whole animal thing and they could just grow everything they needed for their restaurant in a factory,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have to get out of bed and put on clothes and go to a car. No thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I really am excited to see, I, I forget where the video was, but they looked into basically all the different places that lab-grown meat


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's from? Cause that's also like, I think at least for Omar. Omar, would you eat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lab-grown meat, if it, if there was no, if they just grew a chicken breast, there's no animal coming to harm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like they're just growing parts of creatures without the creature ever living or having a brain or a heart or anything. How do you feel about that Omar?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They actually, uh, split, or I guess, uh, like, what was it? Combined, uh, the genomes with a banana tree. So it was a banana tree, but it grew a bunch of chicken breast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean in the videos they were growing little tiny pieces of meat in individual petri dishes and it's like that's not sustainable. I feel like the only way it would be is if they could grow like a banana bunch that's all just chicken breasts or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that would be ethical if you cloned yourself and then killed yourself and ate yourself. That's the only ethical thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was you had to keep eye contact so that you got that part of your soul back. Oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a video of a guy's luggage following him through an airport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What video is that? I wanna see what's playing on the TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, on all these CES things, they're like, you know, the colors and like the blacks are truly black, but you're watching it through your shitty, like, laptop monitor and you're going, I have to trust my guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a, I have, I've never talked to you guys about, I know you guys, everybody makes fun of stadia, and currently yes, it's a joke. But, we have reached a point where the internet is basically ubiquitous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have a feeling that we will reach a point where it is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a service, but a utility that is provided. Like PiperNet. Like PiperNet, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where it's available everywhere, not just in cities, uhm, to the point where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't ever come to the gym with me. You don't go to the gym.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, this is something that we didn't experience from the audiobook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I had the, the Kindle version, but then I ended up finishing it during a road trip. But at the end of the book,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That lists all of the real technologies that everything in the book is based off of. Cause the guy who wrote it is a venture capitalist in, uh, the Bay area in Silicon Valley. And so he's funding all of these future technologies that he then was like, all this stuff that exists now and that is being developed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just fast forward 15 years, based off of this stuff that is tangibly real. So it's not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's less sci-fi, I mean it is sci-fi, 100%, but it's a very realistic projection of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the future could lead to. He wrote his own propaganda. Basically yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are the details we're hanging out on. In the book, tampons are free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is about, uh, 1600 Japan. Nothing has happened in the book, and I am in fright. Written by... Written by...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, if I am a TikTok pro, I could bring us into the TikTok generation, just say the word, I'll do it. You can do it if you want to. Mmm, that's too much work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the audio listeners, there is a guy with a cross tattooed on his tooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, that, that's her. That's the one that... This is my first YouTube video, in the red top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, can we, can we go to Charlie de Emilio's YouTube? There's only one video and it's just her talking and moving her arms. I don't know if we have time for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well I've, I, I mean, do we, can I just, do we have time? Say whatever you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found TikTok, so I missed the boat on Vine. And then Vine came and went.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was great, but I missed a bonus cause I was like, screw that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So TikTok is an awesome, uh, platform specifically for like meme generation because you pick a specific song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, basically these like little ideas will sprout up and then you can pick that song and say make a TikTok with this song. And you will, you can like see a meme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like planted and then grow into all these different webs, all these different takes on the meme, you know, a lot of them bad, some of them good and it's all, it's like you literally see it start and then grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and we see that on, you know, all other media platforms like Twitter and, uh, YouTube and stuff like, yeah, everything. We see it, but it's like with TikTok because it revolves around picking this specific piece of media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see it, like, you're literally, it's like putting a plant in a potter, turning on a UV light and staring at it and you literally watch it grow from this one location.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] TikTok is, is, there's a lot of garbage, there's a lot of just little kids dancing, uhm, but if you like, say not interested and you like the comedy stuff, like, I, normally when I'm scrolling, I'll see stuff that makes me like belly laugh like multiple times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's also, uh, you know, there's that lady selling nudes. She's not doing it, she's not selling nudes anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adam, I am not someone who is working in the service industry or working in a hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And doing really, really tough work. Uhm, that's the worst place to be right now and the most stressful place to be right now. Regardless, I'm still a little stressed. I'm a little stressed because we're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] James and I have a weird situation too where we're in such close proximity and we have to figure out this like double setup. So that's a whole other thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And your business is failing because you've given all of your money. Question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even talking with Andy, he's like, this isn't foolproof. It's like when you're a tiger king and there's another tiger sanctuary owner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, those are the sections I like, and sometimes like, James is like, playing a little bit on my save too, and he'll like, play through a section and then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, it's like just the, the traversal platforming and I'm like, give me that back, give me that back. Like, I don't want that back. Uhm, and I may be the worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Person to like discuss it because remember we played doom three and I was like I could actually get into this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Answer emails and slacks and everything in off work hours and then a lot of the time too because we work with Austin and there's a time difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you wanna make sure that you're answering questions for the people that you're working with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then I come home and I at least like give myself a couple hours before I like go back to anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, working in the service industry or grocery stores or anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know, I, I do think, uh, it's good to just have empathy for anyone and everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking about billboards the other day because I'm like, nobody's driving. Like there are no people in cars. So the real estate of a billboard is virtually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While people are at home, people have seemingly more time. Now's when you'd want your games to get released, right? Uhm, we're seeing it in the movie industry where, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] GameVO. I was talking with like some voice actor friends of mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were canceling the O appointments and I was like, well, why would you do that? Like, you know, you can just go into the booth and you don't even need to, the director can be behind the glass. Like it seems like it's pretty distanced operation and they were like, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's just me that comes through for that week, but there are going to be other voice actors coming through and I'm not confident and comfortable that they're going to wipe down those mics and everything because like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, oh yeah, absolutely. So everything gets put to a standstill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was like one video that Jessica Vasami and I recorded for roosterteeth.com where we do our makeup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adam, got some recommendations for your splinter here. Uh, soaking your foot and using tweezers. Uh, master sleeper says a gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My advice, uh, would be if something takes you, if you can do something in like a minute or ten, like if it takes you a very little time to do it, just do it. Like just, if it's almost immediate, just do it immediately. Uhm, don't like let it slip through the cracks. Just, just get it over with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Productive stuff like that. I don't think that I've had the time to enter that phase, but I don't, and I don't know how we're gonna come out on the other side of all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there will be this weird collective experience that all the people that live through this, like, share that will, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we lost, like, I was living in Toronto and so power went out. And it just like went out everywhere. And so it was basically, it was in the summer which was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because if you're living in Canada in the winter and the power goes out, like, you're fucked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was like a big loss of life in America and that was like a big economic downturn. And I wish a lot of those people were still alive to talk to you about what that was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he can't have both. You're a voice actor or you're famous, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Charles Nelson Reilly is the next, but he was the second call. Charles Nelson Reilly was second call if you couldn't get Paul Lind in the 1960s and 70s in Hollywood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because as you can see, white beard, white hair, old guy. I'm the old guy here. I'll be making reference to things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? I'm nervous to be talking to you guys because you're young and you dialed in everything and I'm kinda like, I'm isolated in my house on the hill and just, I'm like old Bruce Wayne in Batman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was a weird one. We did that one, uh, that was like, I remember we recorded it on my birthday. And I flew up to San Francisco and I was like, my big concern was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My wife's got a birthday dinner put together for me. I want to be back home in time. Will you fly me back to LA and tie me? I don't know why my Canadian accent came back on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that was a very cool day and Tim directed the session and I remember feeling just like horribly guilty that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, here I was, I mean, Vince D'Onofrio was a phenomenal actor. I'd seen his work before. And I was like, I was like, is he gonna like hate me for the rest of my life now? But I, you know, when Tim Burton calls on you to make, to help him make his best picture,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt the presence was off on The Voice, Tim, if you're watching. Uhm, but that's just me being, I'm always critical of myself. I met Vincent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like just two years ago, finally. And he didn't punch me out and said...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a great guy too. He's a very intense fellow, but a terrific guy. I really enjoyed meeting him. And we banter back and forth on Twitter. And twit back and forth on Banter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scorsese is how we were always taught to pronounce it when we were doing good feathers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got this take on the Marvel Universe and listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fine if they're not your cup of tea, not everybody, every movie is everybody's cup of tea. But Scorsese was really into The Good Feathers. Was he? Spielberg, and we'd hear these things secondhand through Gene McCurdy and Andrea Romano, uhm, but they were in close contact with Steven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, but they were in close contact with Steven. We get these stories back that Scorsese, every time they finished A Good Feathers,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stephen would have a videocassette at his house and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marty Scorsese would go over to the, go over to Steven's house to watch the Good Feathers, the latest Good Feathers episode. He loved it. So, you know, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well it's kind of a two-headed, you know, a two-headed beast. I mean on the one hand, we are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do feel like the redheaded stepchildren of all of show business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other hand, everybody and their brother wants to do it. Uh, I think that in the latest Adam's Family movie, I don't think there's a single


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, you can't look smolderingly into a microphone and have that read as good acting, you know, so, uh, you've really got to put it all here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And conversely my big problem when I, when I do do an on camera thing is I, I, I still fall into that first year actor thing of what do I do with my hands in this scene? Or where do I look? Or whatever. Uhm, but you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wall me off in a room with, you know, foam egg carton on the walls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm great. I'm golden. You know, just, just let me go. Give me 10 rolls you want me to play? All talking to each other? Fantastic. Roll. You know, so on the one hand we've got this technique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That on camera people marvel at, no pun intended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I remember working with Ernest Borgnein. This is a man who won an Oscar for a movie called Marty and, you know, went on to Michael's Navy and, and, but a tremendous, tremendous actor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he played Brain's father in an episode of Pinky and the Brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I was doing Brain and I was doing another carry and I was teaching him how to move the pages silently and it was like a whole other thing to him. A whole other technique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, I'm not saying my, you know, our genre is more valid in any way, but it is its own thing. And uhm, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's always that wrestling inside of like, are we, are we valuable within the business?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're treating it like that, but it just could be an offhand thing that he said to somebody when there was a mic run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's the huge difference between the industry then and the industry now. People actually made movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To express themselves. And now everything is, okay, well how much profit are we gonna make on this? It's a sausage fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, rendering, and then they just pan the camera over it, and they just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just draw the lips moving like that. Okay. And it was just like the most


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most minimal animation possible. And, and, you know, they might slide, they might slide one cell over another as the, as the shield came into view, you know, and just, as it made contact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and that's the, those are the, that's the Marvel entertainment I grew up with. They've watered it, they've, you know, really exposed it to sunlight and now we've basically got other cartoons now. Those things are 50% CGI, which is just really, really, really sophisticated animation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would say, well the first thing I ever did was in 1979.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a Canadian company called Nirvana Films. Their second special was called Easter Fever. And it was a roast of the Easter Bunny. And Garrett Morris played the Easter Bunny. John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, and Joe Flaherty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From SCTV, from Second City, we're all in it, and I mean, they were older than me, I was only 19, but they were, no I was 21.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, they were all, you know, starting their careers. I was like literally just wet behind the ears. And, uh, I couldn't believe I was working with them even then because they were the ones from SCTV and they've all gone on to, you know, big cinematic success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but yeaah, so, but, but I started working regularly in 1985.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was the chief in season two, that's right Gadget. I based him on Walter Cronkite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there were two, there were two, Frank Welker played, uh, uh, Dr. Klaue in season two. I think Don, Don Franks, uh, Chris Summer, Chris Summer Franks' dad was, played him in season one, but he was always a different actor playing the chief, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that, but you know what? They just came out with the fact that the, you know, the idea that the, that the Frozen parents' uh, sunken ship was the ship that, the ship that Ariel was floating around in, uh, with all the treasure, and that they survived and fathered Tarzan. So, you know, there could be anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely in terms of the technique of animation, yeaah, which I have nothing to do with. Has voice acting changed on my contribution? Yeaah, they want a more organic kind of performance now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The direction I keep getting is less cartoony. Less like canned, campy. Less, less, less, less. So, you know, I've done, like, Justin Roiland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and so does everybody because, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's his name. But Justin Roiland constantly just, you know, just do it real. Just do it really real. So whenever I do, he likes me for like generals and presidents of other dimensions and things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Authority figures, but that's kind of where like my placement is now. I'm 61 years old. So, you know, but he doesn't want me to do anything big with any of the characters. Even if you're a monster, you've got a regular voice. And it serves the comedy really well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uhm, because everything in it is this understatement, understatement, and then bizarre thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like when, when they, when that alien president goes, gentlemen, you know, when the, when the universe is collapsing and the president goes, gentlemen, gentlemen, there's a solution you're not seeing. Boom! And he blows his head off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Correct. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I guess there's, you know, mocap is now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They still animate to the mocap, but the actor has even more choice in sort of what direction the character goes in mocap, but they're only doing that with action things. Like I would love it if...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we could actually do Pinky and the Brain in motion capture. The problem is I'm taller than Rob Paulson, so they'd have to dig a trench from it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't say segoo. You say segoo. I say segway. I say segway. No, you should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, the day that we are actually doing this live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it broke because, and Rob Paulson definitely said, I am, my book drops on October 8th, and the news is in the book, so Warner Brothers, if you wanna, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come out with the news before that, great, but no, it's out. We are part of the new Animaniacs reboot. The original cast is coming back. In my own tweet today I just said the worst kept, the worst kept, best kept secret in animation is out there. Slap the cuffs on us, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, because I guess we're in violation of our NDA, but what can you do? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My Twitter is, if not blowing up, certainly gaining a lot of weight. It's gassy. It's bloating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since we got to play the characters last time we did it was in 1998. Now we've been at work on the show for a year now. So, uh, it just feels, now it's like, I hope we get to do more, because we're kind of coming to the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, back, you know, we're coming around the clubhouse turn on the order. So I just hope Hulu asks for like, you know, you know, big, a bigger order for season two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's been tremendous. The show, uh, without telling you too much, uh, the show is, uh, tailored a little bit more to this decade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in the 1990s was a little more kid friendly. We're a little more adult now. That doesn't mean a lot of sex jokes or anything like that, but we don't deny the existence of sex in the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, I think some of that, some of that, uh, I won't say mandate because again, we're not, we're not on a network that has the standards and practices. There actually was an educational mandate in place in the 1990s. So that songs like the Countries of the World and, and, and, and the State Capitol song and to, you know, the parts of the brain, which I've had more, more, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, doctors, nurses, uh, EMTs tell me when they come up to me at cons where I'm signing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Parts of the Brain song helped me memorize and pass my anatomy exam. And I go, well don't thank me, thank Tom Minton. He's the one who wrote the lyrics to that one. And Tom Minton is the actual brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom Minton is the physical model for brain, which I did not know Tom then, so when I saw brain, I saw Orson Welles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that's, I just sort of channeled Orson Welles thinking, oh, they've drawn this Orson Welles lab mouse for me. But Tom Minton is, Google Tom Minton at home folks and you'll see a human version of the brain. Pouchy cheeks, furrowed brow, and one of the more brilliant human beings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, rosebud frozen peas, full of country goodness and green penis. Wait, that's terrible, I can't believe I said that, I'm leaving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's Tom. There's Tom. And there, that side view of Tom. Next one over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he is, yeaah, that's basically what they used for the bottle sheet for Brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm aware of Detective Pikachu, I'm not that old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The goal with Animaniacs was to just make a show that the adults would want to watch with the kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so they, they wrote to adults. They wrote to adults. They just never crossed the line of, of inappropriateness. But they wrote the show to adults.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and you're right, the kids found their place with the things they liked, cause Pinky was, you know, in just the case of Pinky the Brain, he was goofy and silly and children loved him and adults loved the brain. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, but, but I think the goal was always with, with the mandate from Steven and then Tom Ruger took the reins on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're performing in it and writing it and all of that. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was, that's the simple story. And now, it is again a show that makes us laugh. And Wellesley Wilde is our, uh, the new showrunner, and he comes from the Seth MacFarlane, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, camp. Uh, and, and, but, so the show's got a little more edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brain is, it's been 20 years, everybody's aged in real time and yet stayed the same because that's what happens to cartoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tunes. But, but Brain's maybe just a little more pissed off that in 20 years he hasn't managed to take over the world. He's got a little bit more edge to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got it. Uhm, but I think you're gonna dig it. And again, we're a good year away from seeing it, if not more, but it's definitely something for our times. That's cool. I'm very excited about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a little while there where we weren't sure when the announcement was made they were gonna reboot the show, but we didn't get any offers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I was like, I, I, I own, I own brain. I don't legally own brain. Brain's my baby. Of all the characters I've done. I can't even say that about Egon in Real Ghostbusters cause I'm just, I'm just channeling Harold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Brain, I just feel like I breathed life into him and I would cry if I had to watch anybody else play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well in the case of our show, in the case of our show, I have it on the very best authority that Steven went into the pitches and he pitched, he himself went and pitched the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And went into the pitches with all of the streaming services and Hulu was the one who got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he went in with pictures of Rob Paulson, Jess Harnell, Tress McNeil, and me, and laid them out on the coffee table and said, these are our stars, we don't replace them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything else that we do in Animaniacs, and there are a whole bunch of new segments, uh, I'm sorry, but Feathers is not one of them. I know, I love that. I love playing, I love playing Ray Liotta. I actually met Ray Liotta about a week before we were to record the first one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I actually was like next to him in a booth, uh, he had the next booth over at a little place in the valley called Mistral, and he leaned over and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, no, no problem. And there was, they're like, you know, so it was like so sweet. He was such a nice guy, but as I'm leaning in, I'm going,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Silering his voice into my brain. Uh, even that's a 10 year old reference now, Siler. But uhm, so, you know, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spielberg, yeaah, that's right, that's right. I mean, I used to joke that if they made Pinky in the Brain in the movie, it would be, uh, Peter Dinklage and, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Russell, Russell Brand. You know, and then I'd have to kill myself. It's not bad casting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we've, we've been dreaming about this for years. We've been on the concert. You guys are really good friends. We're actually, we became really good friends. We're good friends, we played good friends on TV and became really good friends. Uh, and, and, in life. And I mean, I loved the guy from the moment I met him, because we both,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We both got Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, the Derek and Clive tapes, which are these underground tapes, which is language that, you know, we can't even do on the, the internet will break if, uh, if we do the, uh, the, uh, the, the, the sketch they're most well known for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, and we could finish each other's Python sketches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we just, you know, it was a bromance from the start, but we've just gotten closer over the years. So now we really are extremely dear friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's great. And there's a lot in Rob's book that touches on our friendship. So, uh, yeaah, it's called Voice Lessons. It's a lovely book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet the Simpsons went to church every Sunday and had a grandfather living in their home with them. It's a nuclear family structure. I don't see, yes exactly, they had their problems but they never divorced or separated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for a little bit in that movie. But uhm, you know, I don't see any bad family values there apart from child abuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, my first, why my first Emmy nomination was on a puppet show. Uhm, I know, line worthy of Calculon. Why my first Emmy nomination was on a puppet show. However, I finally won for playing Calculon, star of all my circuits and I'm mad with unholy acting talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, uh, I was on a show called DC Follies, which was a live action puppet show from the Crofts, Sid and Marty Croft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1989, syndicated, political puppet show, life-sized puppets of uh, of uh, political figures. George H.W. Bush was president at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, uh, Carter, uh, Ford, they would all be in, in, in this bar. So imagine, like, you know, a puppeteer down there with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brilliant. Because Fred would forget he was talking to a puppet and therefore that came through in his performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel so lucky that I got to work with Fred Willard on this. He's so funny. Another great Canadian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that was Spitting Image, and I also, before I did DC Follies, I have, I have the privilege of being in both shows. So I did the very first Spitting Image US special, which is coming, they are coming back now, Spitting Image is doing new stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nomination, I got it along with the five puppeteers who worked the puppets I worked on. So it was a joint, uh, nomination. Cause we had a melded performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we went live to tape. We didn't pre-record and then they learned the movements. It was a symbiotic thing. So I was always watching the puppets mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Puppeteers had half their one eye on their monitors and they wore these giant television sets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and today they're all in traction. And then looking over at the voice actor's table, it was me, John Hork, uh, and, and Louise Duarte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, who's, uh, the lead puppeteer, uh, in that company, uh, is, uh, is, is a good friend of mine. And of course, Hamill is, Hamill's got a voice in there and a couple of other, my, my pals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, yeaah. Mark's got the best Harrison Ford, no offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Mark really honors this craft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and, and did voice acting while he was making the Star Wars movies. Uh, he played my brother on a wonderful kids show that I do called, uh, Transformers Rescue Bots, which is really geared, you know, three to eight year olds. And, uh, and Mark came back during Star Wars. Of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, it was episode seven where he had no lines and one scene, but he went over and, and we were, I remember he went over for the, for the reading. He read the, he read the stage direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was his job at the re- at the table reading of the Star Wars movie script. He read the stage direction. You have a single line in the movie. But he came back and he told us it was because Harrison Ford broke his foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, we might catch on that, you know, Luke's barely in the first film. Uhm, so, so he came back and did an episode of our show. And, you know, he's just always been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is amazing, and he's probably logged more hours as the Joker than any other actor, including Cesar Romero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no aptitude for this. My son is a tremendous gamer. I just voice the dab thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think last Tuesday was a day where I didn't feel that way. My whole life has been that. For me, I started as a stand up comic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and, you know, every comic wants there to be the show based on their life. You know, Maurice Feld, or Everybody Loves Mo, or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lamar Show, you know, whatever it is. And, and, you know, uh, so that was, it was in my head. It was, that was my dream when I was, when I was doing stand-up comedy. One day I'm gonna have a sitcom and it's gonna be a show about me and, you know, and, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things happen and you know, you go through the open doors and, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Voice acting opened up for me at a time when everything else fell to shh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fuck I started back in the second segment, I just finished it up. So everything fell to shit in my life, uh, you know, the short, short story of that is my father was murdered and I was, I spiraled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, uh, and, and, uh, but, but I could still pull it together to do voiceover work, which is not to say that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I couldn't, you know, it's not to say like, well yeaah, it's only voiceover, I can go in low to do voice, but I did. I went down the, went down the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went down the tubes, uh, in drugs and alcohol. Uh, got sober in 1989 by the way, so you don't have to worry. I'm cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, uh, you know, voice acting still, it still worked for me. And people were, people were kind enough to leave the door open even though I was coming in loaded out of my tree doing real Ghostbusters. Grab up those real Ghostbusters boxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I like me fine, and it's taken 30 years of therapy to like me just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, do I love me? No, but I like me as a friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, as a comedian, and as an impressionist, and as a mimic,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I truly, especially since I started doing them when I was in junior high school, I truly wanted to disappear into the characters. I thought, I'm not enough. Let me be that entertaining detective from the 1970s TV show, Columbo, you know. Whose name I forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I used to say I can't do John Wayne, but I now actually can. Okay. Because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was one of the, I was one of those people that got, really got into the outtake tapes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People gave me outtakes of everything. That's where I learned a lot of the, like, the Shatner stuff. That, you know, I don't say sabotage. You say sabotage. I say sabotage. I had that tape before anybody else. I gave that tape to Billy West when he was on The Stern Show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, don't play this for anybody, okay? This is just for you. And he gave me the Jack Blantz thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now look, we're gonna do this a little while longer and then that's it. Because I can't keep doing it the way you want, I can only do it by, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute lady!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am only doing this the best that I can do, and if you're not satisfied with my best, then that's too fucking bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we're gonna have to reach a solution or a resolution very soon. You can't keep telling me what you think is the better thing, the better thing, the better thing, because I don't even know who the hell you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, so I give this to Billy. Billy goes back to The Stern Show and Monday it's on the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's playing. Hey, hey Billy. Billy gave me this great tape, Robin. This is this, William Shatner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhh, Spock sabotaged the system. Spock, we stole the atmosphere. Spock sabotaged the system. I wish I knew what to do. Observations, Mr. Spock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Bill, that line, uh, sabotage, could you, could you pronounce that sabotage? I don't say sabotage. You say sabotage. I say sabotage. And, and Shatner actually comes in to defend himself against, they goad him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a month, and then he finally comes in, and he has such a good time on the show, and shows that he can take a joke, and has a sense of humor about himself, that almost rejuvenates his career. You know? So, Shatner owes me dinner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all love that stuff. We would, recording engineers were the people that are really responsible for that. They're the ones that traded in this stuff. The outtakes. And so we, they would share them with, you know, I mean, the character of Moe,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the phone calls that most bar got are based on the red tube tapes, which were things that recording engineers would dub and circulate amongst actors and producers and directors just for laughs. And then all of a sudden it becomes this iconic thing on The Simpsons, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, uh, uh, that was my drug in the early 90s, was just listening to those things and building my repertoire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't hear the, Matt Groening and I cannot say the word to without thinking of Casey Kasem from that outtake about the dead dog, but before the dead dog rant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's doing a station idea, he goes, join us this Saturday morning and every Saturday morning at 2, 2!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so every time there's a word, the word two shows up in a script or, you know, how many are you going to order? Two. Two! We just do it and we crack up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, I mean, if you stuck with us through season one, some people felt it moved a little slowly. I say we laid the pipe for seven episodes, then the show got good for the last three, and now all of season two is just one great episode after another. So, tune us in. Tune us in. Nobody tunes anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a, this is a post hashtag me too generation. Exactly. Always appropriate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, there we go. Yea. I don't know. Let's see if we can stump the Six Degrees machine. Except we're the machine. The movie The Rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, he is? Yes. Okay, boom. We go straight from- Who was in Heroes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I probably get congratulated every week on being the new voice of BMW. Because I used to be the voice of Lexus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honoring me, shall we say? I don't know, his read is very similar to what I did when I was the voice of Lexus. So, but I'm, so yeaah, I love Chris Pine, I think he's a great Captain Kirk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and I guess he sounds a little like me, but I've got a better one. Greg Grunberg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was in Starsborn, who was in Heroes with me because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before Zach Quinto was Sylar, I was the voice of Sylar. Oh. Episode 2. Don't look back. I was the voice of Sylar on the answering machine. My friend Jeff Loeb, known for 20 years already at that point, uh, called me up and just said, we need, we need a, we need a, like if we could get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were lots of, first Sylar ate brains, then he didn't eat brains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gives you an episode count or a project count. Uh, as an actor, I have 487 titles, which is half what Frank Welker has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frank Welker might have, next to Mill Blank, the most credits on the IMDB as an actor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's hit a thousand now. But he's been working since 1969.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he's the original and still Freddie on Scooby-Doo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love Fred. I love Fred. I'll be, I'll be appearing with Fred this weekend at L.A. Comic Con. Comic Con L.A. What are we calling it now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whose voice is it anyway? It's a, it'll be an improv voiceover show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, probably 90% of the time since Mel died and then I actually took a step back for the character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I was asking to record before the weekend so I could recover. They couldn't accommodate me on that, I understand. So, Freddie, you took over the part of Yosemite Sam. So we actually like to be dueling Yosemite Sam's this weekend. So, Fred Chatashour, yea, great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think because, you know, you met me as a child. And I think that's true of most of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The young adults I meet now, you know, they encountered me in your childhood, in their childhood, and that's when magic's possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like for me, the very first voice actor I ever met was Paul Solz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing, you know, stage and on camera acting at the time. And we did this show for Jaguar. This is the Jaguar sales meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at a resort in northern Ontario, and we were being paid the most money I'd ever seen for any one thing in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else have you done? He goes, well I was the voice of Spider-Man. Now this guy looks like an accountant. And then I go, no you weren't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I connected with him when I was eight. And you connected with me when you were eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's the, that's that magic time. And so that's, that it's a, it's a, it's a deeper bond. Yeah. Thank you for being magic.


[User] Please transcribe this text
