SPEAKER_02: 1:27

And then an audition for Ewoks, EWA such as came out and trying out to support like any other show.

SPEAKER_04: 1:40

And the thing about Delana, they were really, really loyal, like they ran everything like very close and it just so once they liked they always try to pass you on every show. So you'll see a lot of us the same thing over and over and over again in all the cartoons.

SPEAKER_06: 2:01

Um and I was fortunate enough to be one of those people.

SPEAKER_05: 2:07

Pretty much every cartoon we did after E Walks.

SPEAKER_04: 2:11

And when we don't do the movie came out, I saw it in the theater, I was afraid not I could be, and I was blown away.

SPEAKER_06: 2:26

And when we acted like that, look like that. That's aesthetic, but that was where I was at. So I I made sure that my Nirvana was cartoon, but I was damned for that part. And that's probably the first one I ever had. So I guess it's introduced, it's it's still probably the most phenomenal.

SPEAKER_05: 2:59

Every sport had been. I was in the booth most of the time when Steve and we met, he was going to be phenomenal. Incredible.

SPEAKER_04: 3:09

So my theater and phenomenal. So can I do Breakfast? Oh, and I've been there on the sun.

SPEAKER_01: 3:19

That is the longest thing. Um my uh I went to school for screenwriting here in Pittsburgh at Method. And I uh my my one of my teachers also my uh uh I called me for the first time.

SPEAKER_05: 3:40

Oh that's fantastic. Well then you're learning from a really great mentor in that.

SPEAKER_01: 3:45

Yeah, uh his name uh is is Steve Cudet. Uh he retired from Art South. Yeah. Uh but he got a lot of animation um wrote uh so um he also did uh another series that's uh very close to my heart. Um uh it doesn't get off shot enough to let people you know to watch it and nobody knows that uh everything and I always have this idea in my hand that's like uh cartoon uh that's like big news.

SPEAKER_06: 4:34

Yeah, that was great if we have successful those are not coming back and coming back after all these years.

SPEAKER_01: 4:49

Um previous residents. No, absolutely me would go with it to where we're at now and they keep wanting to redo this.

SPEAKER_05: 5:00

Yeah, and even with the big custom couch, like every single year there's a new boom going around that has to do with that on the or the clock rug or something on the couch. I think last year, because I know we couldn't go, right, right, right. And then this year the TikTok challenge, we're doing some stretch. Uh so again, with that appetite for for nostalgia. Not dying out anytime.

SPEAKER_01: 5:28

Absolutely not. Um out of all the roles that that you you voiced, uh what would you say in the city's band besides?

SPEAKER_04: 5:39

So Field just was certainly the most fun.

SPEAKER_06: 5:41

I think uh the role that might be the most important thing in my life, go ahead and back to make play a red field because that's uh very good having the sun because of that.

SPEAKER_01: 5:55
