Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hope you had a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hey, hey, hey, hey, everybody. Kate Delaine here on ATM
as we kick things off what I like to call
the shark Heuterie Board of talk radio. Wow, how many
times did you hear Julaanne Maxwell's name over the last
couple of weeks? How about the New York City earthquake? Boy,
we were coming off of a couple of shakes and
(00:38):
quakes right last week we were talking about, Oh my gosh,
we're gonna have a tsunami. I was scared to death
every time they're evacuating Honolulu. People got stuck on land
when the cruise ships two of them took off from
the Big Island and from a Wahoo because they had
to get out of the harbor. So it was serious.
And then it turned out luckily that it petered out.
(01:01):
There was no ten foot waves. Whew, that was a
nice miss. That's what you want to hear. Although the
people that were stuck were not thrilled about that, but
the ships did what they had to do. And then
of course there's the humanitarian crisis going on in Gaza.
You know, you see those kids and you feel for
(01:21):
them where their eyes are huge and you know they're
not going to live long and the US, as Doctors
Without Borders, we're gonna let you hear from the CEO
in a second was on one of the Sunday shows
and other people volunteering, trying to do whatever they can.
But it is a real, real crisis in the meantime,
Netanya who is threatening military action the solution to freeing
(01:46):
the hostages unless it's an all or nothing deal and
this thing goes through and the US is trying to
facilitate it too as well, and back up what the
Prime Minister is saying, So what does it mean for
the hostages and then does it ultimately mean as well too?
In this humanitarian crisis situation, you see some of the
(02:07):
food that's being dropped, and you see the people with
anything in their hands trying to get food to feed
families and to feed these kids who don't have a
lot of time left. In fact, like I said, here
is the CEO of Doctors Without Borders talking on ABC,
(02:29):
her names Avril Benoit, about what the situation is really
like on the ground.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
People are starving, people are desperate. The patients that we're
seeing are malnourished. We have seen women deliver prematurely. The
newborns are at risk because the mothers don't have enough
nutrition themselves to breastfeed even premature babies. At much higher
numbers than you would normally see. We're also seeing people
(02:57):
coming in with all the catastrophic injuries that you would
spect in an open zone of air strikes and continuing hostilities.
They're coming in with those trauma injuries, a third degree
burns to their entire bodies, the children with their faces
blown off, all all the major orthopedic cases, the trauma
and their bodies are not strong enough to even fight.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Again. Horrific. Let's really hope and pray that something quickly
is done in this horrible, horrible situation. All right, a
couple of other things that are exploding. Before you know it,
it's going to be mid term elections. So Texas Democrats
(03:43):
redrew their maps. They did some redistricting, and not everybody
was happy about that. Others said, hey, it had to happen,
and there's reasons why it was redrawn these districts. And
so now you have the pushback from some of the
democratically controlled areas. I'll just say other states that are saying, well,
(04:09):
you do that we're gonna do the same thing. So
a Texas panel advanced the other day the redrawn congressional
map that could take five Democratic seats. One of the
governor's Governor of California, Gavin Newsom says, tip for tet,
we're gonna do the same thing, and we may have
our own drawing party. So I think there's gonna be
(04:34):
a big war over voting areas, over what happens with
these maps, and where this power goes and where it shifts,
and what do the maps look like, and what are
the concerns over the maps and is it valid? And
all the questions you can imagine that come up. In
(04:56):
early July, the President was pushing Texas to redraw it's
map to better favor Republicans. The Department of Justice sent
state leaders a letter. Four of the Texas congressional districts
were unconstitutionals. What the Department said, three the ninth, the eighteenth,
and the thirty third were unconstitutional coalition districts where black
(05:20):
and Hispanic voters combined to form a majority. The twenty ninth,
while majority Hispanic, was also unconstitutional, the letter said, because
it was created by two neighbors being coalition districts. So
it is well established that so called coalition districts run
a foul, if you will, of the Voting Rights Act
(05:42):
and the Fourteenth Amendment. That's what the Assistant Attorney General said,
and then threatened legal action if Texas didn't bring the
districts into compliance. So that's what the history, a little
nutshell history of that is. So there's a bit of
a big war about this for decades over creating districts
(06:04):
where multiple political cohesive voting groups constitute a majority. And
that's something that's not just in Texas. It's been in
other parts of the United States. There's been lots of
arguments about that. Stay tuned, I mean, that's a real
stay tuned because what happens with some of the other states,
(06:27):
what else happens before we get to those mid term elections,
and what's the right way to do that? And I
think I think it's I think it's gonna be interesting
to see what if any states have their own definition
(06:48):
of what they would call what do I think is
retaliation for what they think is wrong, They're going to
how they're going to justify that, and what ultimately that
is going to look like, Right in the meantime, Yes,
there was an earthquake in New York City, just a
small one, but it kind of rattled some nerves. The
epicenter was in New Jersey, just west of New York City.
(07:12):
It was in Hasbrick Heights, New Jersey, in Bergen County,
about ten kilometers below the surface. Three point zero magnitude,
so relatively minor, but there were reports of brief shaking
in parts of the parts of the area. We had
(07:34):
somebody who sent us an email and that talked about that,
and there were security cameras and whatnot that caught some
people jumping up in confusion where they tried to figure
out what was going on. Was there something that happened outside,
Was there a crash, was there some other such thing
and people being startled by noises, But no reports of
(07:55):
any serious damage. And three point zero is not considered
as significant quake, but it definitely rattled rattled some people,
that's for sure. Lonie Anderson of the hit TV series
WKRP in Cincinnati has died. She was just days away
(08:17):
from turning eighty years old. WKRP in Cincinnati was a
big hit. It aired from nineteen seventy eight to nineteen
eighty two. It was about a struggling Ohio radio station
trying to reinvent itself with a rock format. A lot
of famous people were in that, including Howard Hesman. She
was one of them too as well. Tim Reid. Jan

Smithers was also in it too. She was the receptionist
for WKRP man cave on the.

Speaker 11 (12:03):
I'm going to the man Cave, going to the Marri Cave,
to the Marri Cave.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Ay any thanks, We are in the man Cave. Welcome everybody.
By the way, I had Susie who asked me, Kate,
are women in the man Cave too? Yes, everyone's in
the man Cave. It's a figure speech. I wrote a
book called Invade the Man Cave. In a way it is,
and it was all about sports of all sorts, and
I talk about how to boost your sports knowledge. It
(12:35):
was really so fun. I wrote a couple different editions
of it. It's out there on Amazon, Barnes and Noble,
all that kind of stuff. And so anyway, so this
segment is man Cave. We talk about sports here, sports
of all sorts, including the NFL. There is, I think,
nothing like being at a Hall of Fame induction ceremony,
(12:57):
particularly if it's your team, your player that's inducted, somebody
you followed as a kid, as an adult, whatever. And
there were four that got in to the Hall of Fame.
It's the smallest class they've had since two thousand and five.
Jared Allen, Eric Allen, Sterling Sharp, and Antonio Gates. So
(13:22):
it's interesting, and I listened to all the speeches. I
just think it's besides winning the Super Bowls, one of
those sacred moments for any football player, and so I
picked a couple out because it would take us a
long time to play all of them. Of course, Jared
Allen finished his Hall of Fame career with one hundred
and thirty six sacks, the twelfth most in NFL history
(13:43):
since sacks became a stat back in nineteen eighty two.
Is eight seasons with ten plus sacks, tied for the
six NFL history, and the list goes on and on
with Eric Allen. So here's a little snippet. I mean
Jared Allen, that's Eric Allen. I was thinking of Eric
(14:05):
Allen too with the fifty four receptions, but Jared Allen
is who I was talking about. And this is a
snippet of his speech.
Speaker 12 (14:14):
Why I could be summed up with three things, fear, respect,
and the pursuit of greatness. And when I talk about fear,
I'm not talking about that type of fear that cripples
you and makes you avoid something. I'm talking about that
healthy fear of failure, that fear that motivates you to
(14:35):
do whatever you can to succeed, that type of fear
that lets you get knocked down and then realize you
don't want to get knocked down again, so you pick
yourself up, you learn.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
And you improve.
Speaker 13 (14:45):
And respect.
Speaker 12 (14:46):
I've only played this game for two reasons. The respect
of my peers and the respect of those who came
before me.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Here's what I love. He is a former Vikings defensive end,
played most of that twelve year career there, and he
got kind of choked up about it, you know, and he.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Should have.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
He was really incredible. If you go back and you
look at any footage of him, you remember watching him play, certainly,
so he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
And he got that call. So good for Jared Allen.
I liked his speech. I love what he said. They're
Sterling Sharp, part of the Brothers. Sharp member's brother Shannon
(15:28):
also in the Hall of Fame. They were the first
brother brother duo there, which is such a rare thing.
And this is what he talked about with his brother.
Speaker 11 (15:39):
As one half of the first brothers selected to the
Pro Football Hall of fame. You got to come up
here and stand next to me. My man, you got
to do it. You have to learn to follow before
(16:04):
you can leave. When Papa died and you were crying
your eyes out, I prayed to God, do not let
me cry. I need to be strong for him, and
God got me through that.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, he's somebody I interviewed a couple a couple of
times in my career. Such a nice guy. He played
wide out for, of course, Green Bay Packers. He played
college football for the South Carolina Game Cox in the NFL.
As far as that career eighty eight to ninety four,
his career got shortened by a neck injury. Then he
became an analyst for the NFL Network, and he's the
(16:44):
older brother of Pro Football Hall of famers. I mentioned
tight end Shannon Sharp, So how about that and talking
about the father and what happened there and he set
all kinds of records, and I thought that was a really,
really great choice. There's always arguments over who gets in,
and we've had people on this show who have the
(17:04):
Hall of Fame vote, and it's interesting to say what
it is that gets them in. So then of course
you talked about Antonio Gates. He's one of the greatest
receiving tight ends I think in NFL history, nine hundred
and fifty five catches for over eleven thousand, eight hundred
and forty one yards one hundred and sixteen touchdowns during
his sixteen year career and fun, fun, fun to watch.
(17:29):
Eric Allen I mentioned him finished with fifty four interceptions
in his career, six Pro ball selections, a first team
All Pro selection in nineteen eighty nine. His thirty four
interceptions are tied with Brian Dawkins and Bill Bradley for
the most in Eagles history. Fly Eagles Fly, and the
fifty four total interceptions twenty first in NFL history. It
(17:51):
was cool about his Hall of Fame speech is he
talked about his sons. He has a bunch of sons,
and he talked about them all and how proud he
was of them, and he focused a big chunk of
what he had to say about them. So congrat How
was some applause, Congratulations to all of them. It's really
tough to get into the Hall of Fame, as we
have learned through our various connections and interviews with people
(18:15):
in what it takes to get there. It's not always
an obvious route to do that. Let's just put it
that way. Katie Ledcie, Katie Ledci setting all kinds of records.
Boy oh boy, she is one of the all time best,
and she proves it again and again. How many records
(18:36):
has she broken? So she wins again in the American
swimmers set relay world records. She's unbeaten in the eight
hundred free style. Here's what she said about that afterwards.
Speaker 14 (18:48):
I had to go the whole way. I mean the
last one hundred. You know, I don't know what you felt,
but it's like you don't want to push it too
early because you know, then you get a little afraid
that you're going to die at the end. So it
was just trying to build in each hundred and yeah,
just keep going.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah. They were all in Singapore for this, for the
World Championships. And it's interesting she won her first race
in twenty twelve in the Olympics and has never lost
since in a major competition. We're about the eight hundred freestyle,
think about the dominance in that. Incredible and then the
(19:27):
relay team and wow, again, really fun to watch team
USA because I think when we get closer to the Olympics,
and it's one of my favorites. It's one of my
favorite things to watch in the Olympics. Probably a lot
of you too. Ladeki's won twenty three gold medals at
World Championships, thirty overall, nine Olympic gold medals, fourteen Olympic
(19:51):
medals overall, if you're counting, that's what forty four my math.
Forty four Olympic and World medals. Wow wow, wow wow.
How about some Team USA love for that? USA USA,
I like it for sure. Let's turn to Major League baseball.
(20:14):
It was an interesting week in a Major League baseball.
I saw a bunch of highlights called a couple of games.
I'll pick some of them apart for you, the ones
I know you care about because you're always asking me
to tell me what happened in that game? Cardinals Padres
got the better of you, seven to three out of
Petco Park. And what did that game look like? I
saw some of the highlights or low lights. If you're
(20:36):
listening to me in the great State of Missouri in
Saint Louis, and you look at Dylan Ceec who was
just amazing. He allowed one hit over five innings. That's
part of the problem, striking out nine and that's the thing.
So the Padres won for the seventh time in eight games.
There are three games behind the NL West leading Dodgers.
(20:58):
And for the car Rdinals, you know, they got on
the board at the top of the ninth bases loaded singles,
but it wasn't enough. They could not break that open.
So the Cardinals traveled to Los Angeles to pay the
Dodgers on Monday, and we'll see if they turn that around, right,
(21:19):
they'll turn it around. Of course, there's plenty of time,
a lot of road left in the MLB season, although
it seems like time just flies, doesn't it. Okay, Diamondback
fans picked up their fifty third win six' four over The.
A's how did that? Happen Blaze Alexander homer to help
(21:41):
the D backs beat The a's On, Sunday and then
they played a little bit of small ball too that
also helped secure that. Win and The diamondbacks especially scored
three runs in the second against a rookie pitcher that
made a big, Difference Jack, perkins who gave up five
hits and walked three in three, innings and they picked
(22:06):
that one. Up so it's a big win for them
because they need to break open to get deeper into the.
Fifties if they're gonna go, anywhere you got to get
closer to that sixty sixty sixty, sixty all, right believe
it or, Not, boy the man cave just flew. By
oh wait till you Meet Joshua seth. Next he is incredibly.
Talented think, digimond think A, kiro think. Voiceover Incredibly you

Speaker 13 (24:11):
On, wow what an. INTRO i should take you around
with me at. Parties what do you? Do and Then
i'll just point to you and you say all THAT
i like.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
IT i could have a career as a professional. Introducer.
Absolutely so that is a. Lot but let's start back
to the. Beginnings when you were a kid In. Ohio
growing up In, ohio could you have ever had imagined
what you've.
Speaker 13 (24:37):
Accomplished, yes BECAUSE i never felt LIKE i belonged. THERE
i REALLY i grew up in the. COUNTRY i, mean
my parents are professional. People they're they were both, psychologists
but WHAT i was surrounded by were cows and. CORNFIELDS
i mean the real. COUNTRY i mean my. PETS i
had a, chicken a, goat and a. Monkey WHEN i
(25:01):
was growing up at different. Times SO i was like
a circus right not far off and five horses THAT
i had to feed before, school and ALL i wanted
to do was get the hell out of there and
move TO la Or New York. City EVENTUALLY i did
both and you, know be on the stage or be
on the. Screen. YEAH i had this idea of. Starting,
well as the legend, goes WHEN i was eight years
(25:22):
old AND i walked into a theater for the first
time and forced myself in front of the producer and
the director that we're casting a show THAT i wasn't
even up. For get me on the.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Stage, yeah, yeah so you knew. It but as you,
said you grew up in the. Country you go to
when you get out of high, school you go to
the very Prestigious New York University Tish school of The,
arts and you must have learned a lot. There.
Speaker 13 (25:48):
Yeah that was, well that's HOW i became a voice.
Actor WHEN i make the comic con, appearances they always asked,
that you, know how do you get into? This and
it really started with my, dad who was a radio.
Psychologist do you remember that old Show. Fraser he was
like a real Life fraser Before, Fraser so he built
his practice in Northeastern ohio by having the number ONE
(26:11):
am at the. Time it WAS am talk radio show
in that region all WHILE i was growing, up and
so many TIMES i would go to the radio station
and see the carts and the production and even be
on the mike and stuff like. That SO i was
very familiar with. Radio and WHEN i went From ohio
to the big city To manhattan to go to, college
(26:31):
everything was very unfamiliar except for the radio. Station SO
i got myself a SHOW, Wnyu New York, city fifty thousand,
watts going out to three. States and it wasn't THAT
i wanted to be a, broadcaster but it just felt very,
familiar and it was in the performance sort of, environment
AND i didn't have a lot of performing, opportunities of,
course growing up At, ohio OH i do have to
(26:53):
mention this, though before we jump. Ahead so by that
point WHEN i went to, COLLEGE i had had over
one thousand theater shows in front of paying audiences in
e equity performing. Situation because WHEN i was eight years,
old the local what wasn't really a community theater was
(27:14):
it was the.
Speaker 16 (27:16):
Theater where The broadway musicals would go to work out
the touring version of their productions In, Akron, ohio AND
i just happened to, live you, know twenty thirty minutes from,
there and they were Casting brigadoon and they needed a redheaded,
child and my younger brother had red hair and was not.
Speaker 13 (27:34):
Interested and as the story, GOES i just walked right
up to the table where they were doing the, casting
just cut the line in front of everybody and, Said
i'll do whatever it. Takes you can paint freckles on
my face and dye my hair, red, like let's. Go
and they did not cast, me but they remembered my.
NAME i had a big believer in self. Promotion and
(27:57):
the next show they were casting was the tour version
Of Yule Brenner's The king AND i as they Left
broadway to go on, tour they cast me As Prince Chilla,
longcorn which is the child. Lead and it was eight
shows for eight, weeks and THEN i was in every
production they did from the TIME i was eight to.
Eighteen so by the TIME i got TO, NYU i
had really paid my dues AND i had my chops
(28:17):
as a. Performer so WHEN i started that radio, SHOW
i was very fluid on the mic and speaking, extemporaneously
and there was no, hesitation you, know in terms of
broadcasting or anything like. That so the show did. WELL
i did it throughout my time AT. Nyu but one
day my air conditioner broke AND i was. Hot and,
(28:41):
this this is really what launched my voice acting, career
is that my air conditioner broke AND i just wanted
to cool, down and SO i went to this art
house movie theater In manhattan that was playing this very
interesting movie with a red motorcycle on the. Front, actually
you see the movie behind. Me for the listeners at,
(29:01):
Home joshua is pointing to this wall of DVDs of
movies that he's, voiced and one of them is that's
displayed is A. Kira back to our show already in.
Progress all, Right so that movie with the red red,
motorcycle that's A. Kira it's on every critics list of
the number one anime movie of all, time and for good.
(29:22):
Reason it's art and it allowed anime to break through
To american, audiences and it showed that animation can be
more than just for. Kids this is very much for. Adults,
ANYWAY i saw that. Movie it blew my, mind AND
i hatched a plan to use the radio show to
create a, demo AND i use that demo to get
an agent In Los, angeles and a week after, GRADUATING
(29:45):
i moved out there And i'm, like, Yes i'm a voice.
Actor Now i'm gonna voice an. Anime but there was
a flaw on my, Plan, kate do you know what
the flaw?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Was it was hard to get a.
Speaker 13 (29:54):
Job, no it didn't even. Exist there was no anime,
yet nothing was going. ON i was years to. That
So i'd always had like a lifelong interest in, Magic
SO i started doing magic at kid's birthday parties just
to pay the bills WHILE i started auditioning and here
and there getting a.
Speaker 14 (30:12):
Gig you.
Speaker 13 (30:12):
Know my first commercial Was, Mom, dad can we go To?
Disneyland which is you, know national. Commercial and you, KNOW
i was, like, okay Now i'm a working voice. Actor,
no a month goes, by two months goes, by, nothing
and then, oh one one episode of Rug, rats you,
know another month or two one episode Of Hey, arnold
stuff like. That and then EVENTUALLY i got cast to
(30:36):
replace another voice actor as the voice of the robot
in the late nineties on a little shell Called Power.
Rangers perhaps you've heard of. It oh, yeah aye ay.
Ay SO i took over the voice Of alpha Five
danger and THEN i met the everybody working At, saban
which Him, saban the now billionaire at the. Time he
(31:00):
used the success Of Power ranges to launch a network
Called Fox. Kids and that, network the flagship show that
they launched it with Was, Digimon and that's HOW i
was in a position to be able to land the
main Character, tie the leader of The, digimon WHICH i
have now voiced. For, well this will be the twenty
(31:21):
sixth year we had the HIT tv, show the millennial
iconic touchstone Of digimon the, movie And i'm actually voiced
that main character in all nine movies and we're still.
Going it's the seventy fifth highest grossing media franchise in the. World.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Wow AND i think Of, tie it's such a recognizable.
Voice what's that been like for? You and, See i'm
going back to this question BECAUSE i always, think did
you ever think it would be that? SUCCESSFUL i, mean
you believed in, it but did you think it was
gonna be that?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Big?
Speaker 13 (31:52):
No, no because there was no streaming back, then there
were no social media, Channels there's No uto so when
we would record a, show it would play On saturday,
morning and then in that first season it was the
number one animated show On saturday morning. Television you remember
That saturday MORNING. Tv and then it was every day after.
(32:14):
School so all these millennials WHEN i do The Comic con,
appearances they all come up and, say thank you for
making my childhood. Great we'd, run my brother AND i
would run home from the school bus and sit down
in front of THE tv and listen to you you,
know Voice digimon and pretty much everything else that you see,
here all these like other hundred movies and shows as
a result of that, success including which we can get into.
(32:36):
Later HOW i ended up voicing the main character In
akira seven years after having seen. It that was when
the voice acting career came full. Circle BUT i had
no idea that decades later people would still be watching
this stuff because it's on demand On, hulu like you
can see it right now right well not, now but you,
know after listening to Amazing, americans then you could turn
(32:59):
on The hulo and you could see you, know many
or The crunchy. ROLE a lot of my shows are
on Crunchy roll as well now and so you can
see it at any, time and some new new generations
are being introduced to. It AND i have fans that are, millennials,
which believe it or, not they're in their thirties, now
and then their children are growing up watching this. Too so,
no there was no way to conceive of the fact
(33:22):
that that would.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Happen what do people not know about voice over that
maybe you didn't know. INITIALLY i, mean obviously you have a.
Voice in just this short, period we can tell because
you can switch the tone of your voice a character
doing a, character almost an announcer. Voice so you have that,
(33:43):
gift and there is a gift you CAN'T i think
some people, think, WELL i have deep. PIPES i can
just walk into a studio and open a mic and
That's there's more to it than.
Speaker 13 (33:52):
That, yeah, yeah, well, HEY a couple things come to, Mind.
Kate one is that your voice is an. Instrument so
just because you have an interesting sounding voice doesn't mean
that you know how to play all the notes in your.
Instrument now you can do very well only playing in
a very limited. RANGE i, Mean Bob doon's done pretty
(34:14):
well and he sings about four, notes and that's being,
generous but there's so much more to. It so you
can learn to use that instrument and exercise it as
you would any other muscle group in your body and
find that vocal. Flexibility anyone can do.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
That we come back voicing a main character in Nikiro
next ON atm.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
Let's see if something costs less but people are happier with.
It that sounds like something to look, into and that
is meta. Share maybe you've heard switching to meta share
to pay for healthcare can save many families up to
five hundred bucks a, month and that is, Huge but
it's also true that people are way more satisfied after
making the switch. Too the members said wtisfaction rate for
meta share is double that of the typical health insurance.
(35:04):
Plan double meta share works. Too it's been around for thirty.
Years members have shared more than five billion dollars of
each other's. Bills people love having telehealth and a huge
NATIONWIDE ppo. Network so, yeah, really you can save a
ton and like it. Better imagine being happy with how
you're taking care of your. Healthcare so if you're self
employed or part of the gig, economy or you just
want to plan you're happy, with you can call right.

Com we're back With Joshua Sef, joshua how did you
(37:59):
gland a role in.
Speaker 13 (38:00):
The producers In japan have specifically asked for you to Voice.
Tetsuo Which tetsuo Is he's the, villain but he is
essentially he is a key or he is the force
that threatens to blow Up Neo. Tokyo and if you
haven't seen, it it is sort of like the anime
version Of Blade. Runner and if you haven't Seen Blade,
runner why like this is? Great why around the same
(38:24):
time that they came. Out these these movies are cyberpunk
movies and without them there wouldn't have been The. Matrix for,
instance The worshrowski's asked the cast and crew of The
matrix to Watch akira before they started, filming because they,
said this is the vibe that we are going. To
SO i got that. CALL i didn't have to. Audition
only time that ever happened where it was simply handed to,
(38:46):
me AND i realized that my entire journey as a
voice actor had come full. Circle so a few years
LATER i QUIT. WOW i LEFT la BECAUSE i already
accomplished my, call, RIGHT i did WHAT i said out.
TODAY i only really still voice A digimond because that's
my legacy character and it's my own voice, basically SO
i don't want to let it.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Go it's funny because you talk about that, journey and
then you talked about how you had to make ends
meet and worked in the, magic WHICH i saw you
as the. Mentalist that was mind blowing what you. DID
i couldn't figure it. OUT i was trying so. HARD
i feel LIKE i burned some brain. Cells but how
did that? Happen and how did that then morph into
(39:27):
this incredible skill you have that you've taken all over the.
Speaker 13 (39:31):
World, really thank. You it's a real. PASSION i really
really loved doing the show to the point Where i'll
fly halfway around the world for a chance to just
be on a stage for forty five minutes or an.
HOUR i, mean who in the right mind would do
that except for an entertainer who's just loves it more than,
anything you, know other than my children in. Life but
(39:53):
it's been around, longer so back in the, nineties, YEAH
i had to make ends. MEET i had to pay
the bills in some way WHILE i was auditioning and
not booking things BECAUSE i wasn't very good as a voice.
Actor it takes time to develop these. Skills and, HONESTLY
i wasn't very good as a magician, either BUT i
was good enough to book kids. Parties SO i did
(40:14):
a lot of kids. Parties in, FACT i did so.
Many part of it going To i'm not going to
toot my own hold too much here and SAY i
was such a good magician THAT i was booked so
much in the nineties THAT i opened an. Agency, no
the REASON i opened an agency was BECAUSE i was
good at. Marketing so what happened WAS i started getting
(40:36):
so many calls as a result of the. Marketing and
this there's a saying in marketing that marketing is marketing is, marketing,
right it doesn't really matter what your marketing or to.
Whom these principles are the. Same so we didn't have
a lot of the tools that make it a lot easier,
now Like google ads And facebook ads and things like
that that give you reach for. Pennies back then you
(40:56):
had to BUY i bought double quarter column display ads
in the phone books. AUDIENCE a phone book is a
list of phone numbers for the yellow pages would be for,
businesses and the white pages would be for how do
people know right you're if you're under a certain, age
like let's say UNDER i don't. Know forty thirty five
(41:17):
phone book phone books were these Thick that's how people
found stuff Before. Google Before, google you had to advertise
In Los angeles in every single phone book and every
single kids. Publication, well let me tell, You, KATE i
went seventy thousand dollars in debt in my twenties on credit,
cards opening this agency and starting this. Business but within
(41:38):
less than two, YEARS i would, say like a year
and a, HALF i was booking one thousand shows a,
year which is only it's like twenty shows a, weekend
like twenty five shows a. Weekend AND i had all
my friends going out doing shows THAT i trained them to,
do and THEN i would take the best ones for,
myself the corporate, events these celebrity, events things like, that
(41:59):
and then all the normal ones WOULD i would give
to all these other. People AND i kept that going
for five or six years Until disney sued me AND
i settled AND i sold the. Agency, yeah it's all,
right why do under a? Bridge but because we were
also doing custom characters and, stuff and they, said, well you,
know like allowing a misperception to exist in the mind
of the customer's tantamount to copyright. Infringement And i'm, like
(42:20):
but we're not sending out you know, Whatever Mickey, Mouse
winnie The, pooh whatever it. Was we're sending out some generic.
Character BUT i didn't want to fight. It and already
again i'd sort of accomplished that. GOAL i bought a
house with Kids Party Magic money in The Los, ANGELES
i really AND i accompassed the. Goal SO i, thought
you know, WHAT i didn't come out here to be
an agent. ANYWAY i know how to sell, Now SO
(42:43):
i sold it off for pieces of the, business and
THEN i really honed in on the. Magic and around
the time That digimon, hit which would would have been
ninety eight or ninety, nine that's around the time THAT
i sold That Kid's Magic Company Kids Entertainment company really
and focused on the. Magic and one of the it's
(43:04):
interesting when you meet people in, life how those connections
lead to other things that can really expand the possibilities
in your life and your. Career so one of the
people THAT i used to send out to do those kids.
Parties turns out she was the receptionist at a place
called The Magic castle In, Hollywood, california which is the
premiere performing venue for magicians in the. World and it
(43:25):
was like five minutes from WHERE i. Lived but, again
because this is before The, INTERNET i had no idea
that it. Existed so she told me about. It she's,
like you, know you're performing a lot more than our
professional many of our professional. Members you should be a.
Member SO i went. DOWN i loved. It it's a private.
Club it has multiple performing, rooms a big stage or a,
parlor which was my, favorite or a close up room
(43:47):
or bar. Magic there's all kinds of magic going on
seven nights a, week some of the best magicians in the.
World and SO i, AUDITIONED i. JOINED i was there
almost every night for a couple of years UNTIL i
compt and then One joshua was pointing to some plaques
and a tiny little award behind. Him let's, Say Magic
(44:09):
Castle Olympics Gold medal. Winner why is it Tiny because
the really big Winners cup that's in The Magic. Castle
so if you ever go, there look for my. Name
it's right in the. Front now that's what launched my touring,
career except THAT i couldn't LEAVE la BECAUSE i was
voicing on all these. Series SO i attempted to do
both careers at a high level for another five or
(44:32):
six years until, WELL i guess two thousand and, seven
so maybe six or seven. YEARS i was younger THAN
i had a lot of. Energy but one DAY i
came home from doing a lot of shows over the
weekend and THEN i had a full slate of recording
sessions for the next, week AND i remember lying down
on the hardwood floor of the of the living room
(44:54):
in my little home In burbank and just not being
able to get, up just feeling like there was a
weight on my. Chest this press sure had gotten to,
me AND i just had to make a. Decision it
hit me all at once like, that LIKE i have
to go one direction or the, other either the magic
or the, voiceovers because Otherwise i'm going to get my
zebbah heart. Attack and WHEN i stood, UP i was,
(45:14):
like it's gonna be The magic Because i've always wanted
to tour And i've never had a chance to go on.
Tour and AFTER i won The Magic, OLYMPICS i had
agents telling, Me, hey you can do the college. Circuit
you can do the cruise ship, circuit you can do comedy,
clubs you, know all of Which i've done. Now BUT
i couldn't do BECAUSE i couldn't Leave. La SO i
wound up all my serious, commitments sold my house In
la and went on the, road and THEN i did
(45:36):
about four hundred colleges over the next several years on
THE naca, circuit and about two hundred cruise. Ships cruise
ship gigs are. Great people make fun of those, entertainers
but a lot of them are really. Good it's a
wonderful lifestyle if you don't have. Kids and they would
fly me to another, country put me up in a.
RESORT i joined the ship already in. PROGRESS i do
a show for one thousand, people sold out because they
(45:59):
didn't pay anything for the, show, right they just show
up and twice in an, evening and then that was.
It THEN i got to take a cruise and get
paid for. It and then BECAUSE i didn't have, kids
then they'd let me off in another country And i'd, say,
Well i'll just stay here for a week or two
until the next, gig And i'd be In, thailand or
i'd be In italy Or i'd be In jamaica or
whatever and hang out and explore and see the, world
(46:20):
and then they'd fly me to the next. Ship AND
i did a lot And, princess and then eventually they
were all On disney Because disney really values. Entertainment, Surprise.
Surprise and THEN i had, kids and THEN i stopped
doing those BECAUSE i didn't want to be gotten for
a week at a. Time and THEN i went into corporate,
entertainment so that worked out pretty well.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Too, wow well of doing the magic. SHOWS i, mean
you went to so many amazing. Places and this is
a hard, question but was there one place that was
just blew your? Mind like you can't believe you've been flown? Here,
yeah you were here on a boat.
Speaker 13 (46:53):
Whatever usually the dangerous places That americans typically don't go,
to they're very interesting BECAUSE I i felt Like i'm
in a foreign. Country when you go to The, caribbean it's, like, okay,
well what's the, difference you, know except there's a lot
of diamonds international, everywhere the food's the, same everybody Speaks. English.
NOW i liked being In. BRAZIL i liked being In
(47:13):
egypt And lebanon And Costa rica and, well coastory could
maybe not not as, dangerous but oh what Was, cartagenia
you know In. Colombia and Then i've since vacation In
bogatah And, Quito. Ecuador AND i remember walking from In
brazil AFTER i got off the ship contract AND i
(47:35):
had a money belt on with a lot of cash
for people that bought my. Books BECAUSE i wrote my
first book on, ships there's a lot of free. Time
and back THEN i was also doing comedy hypnosis shows
and people would always make a, Joke, hey could you
hypnotize me to lose? Weight AND i, thought, well, yeah
SO i started doing those seminars and THEN i wrote
my first book on that and then they, would you,
(47:57):
know pay me for the CDs and the book. SALES
i had all this, cash money, belt AND i got
off the ship AND i have this and my flight
wasn't until that, night AND i had to get off
the ship in the, morning SO i decided to walk
From ipanima To, copacabana which is a pretty long. Walk,
yeah AND i had like a like a not A,
rolex but like a tag here on my wrist and
then this money.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Belt do youar more of my conversation With joshua was
seth to check Out apple Or. Spotify thanks for, listening
Hope you had a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hey, hey, hey, hey, everybody. Kate Delaine here on ATM
as we kick things off what I like to call
the shark Heuterie Board of talk radio. Wow, how many
times did you hear Julaanne Maxwell's name over the last
couple of weeks? How about the New York City earthquake? Boy,
we were coming off of a couple of shakes and
(00:38):
quakes right last week we were talking about, Oh my gosh,
we're gonna have a tsunami. I was scared to death
every time they're evacuating Honolulu. People got stuck on land
when the cruise ships two of them took off from
the Big Island and from a Wahoo because they had
to get out of the harbor. So it was serious.
And then it turned out luckily that it petered out.
(01:01):
There was no ten foot waves. Whew, that was a
nice miss. That's what you want to hear. Although the
people that were stuck were not thrilled about that, but
the ships did what they had to do. And then
of course there's the humanitarian crisis going on in Gaza.
You know, you see those kids and you feel for
(01:21):
them where their eyes are huge and you know they're
not going to live long and the US, as Doctors
Without Borders, we're gonna let you hear from the CEO
in a second was on one of the Sunday shows
and other people volunteering, trying to do whatever they can.
But it is a real, real crisis in the meantime,
Netanya who is threatening military action the solution to freeing
(01:46):
the hostages unless it's an all or nothing deal and
this thing goes through and the US is trying to
facilitate it too as well, and back up what the
Prime Minister is saying, So what does it mean for
the hostages and then does it ultimately mean as well too?
In this humanitarian crisis situation, you see some of the
(02:07):
food that's being dropped, and you see the people with
anything in their hands trying to get food to feed
families and to feed these kids who don't have a
lot of time left. In fact, like I said, here
is the CEO of Doctors Without Borders talking on ABC,
(02:29):
her names Avril Benoit, about what the situation is really
like on the ground.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
People are starving, people are desperate. The patients that we're
seeing are malnourished. We have seen women deliver prematurely. The
newborns are at risk because the mothers don't have enough
nutrition themselves to breastfeed even premature babies. At much higher
numbers than you would normally see. We're also seeing people
(02:57):
coming in with all the catastrophic injuries that you would
spect in an open zone of air strikes and continuing hostilities.
They're coming in with those trauma injuries, a third degree
burns to their entire bodies, the children with their faces
blown off, all all the major orthopedic cases, the trauma
and their bodies are not strong enough to even fight.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Again. Horrific. Let's really hope and pray that something quickly
is done in this horrible, horrible situation. All right, a
couple of other things that are exploding. Before you know it,
it's going to be mid term elections. So Texas Democrats
(03:43):
redrew their maps. They did some redistricting, and not everybody
was happy about that. Others said, hey, it had to happen,
and there's reasons why it was redrawn these districts. And
so now you have the pushback from some of the
democratically controlled areas. I'll just say other states that are saying, well,
(04:09):
you do that we're gonna do the same thing. So
a Texas panel advanced the other day the redrawn congressional
map that could take five Democratic seats. One of the
governor's Governor of California, Gavin Newsom says, tip for tet,
we're gonna do the same thing, and we may have
our own drawing party. So I think there's gonna be
(04:34):
a big war over voting areas, over what happens with
these maps, and where this power goes and where it shifts,
and what do the maps look like, and what are
the concerns over the maps and is it valid? And
all the questions you can imagine that come up. In
(04:56):
early July, the President was pushing Texas to redraw it's
map to better favor Republicans. The Department of Justice sent
state leaders a letter. Four of the Texas congressional districts
were unconstitutionals. What the Department said, three the ninth, the eighteenth,
and the thirty third were unconstitutional coalition districts where black
(05:20):
and Hispanic voters combined to form a majority. The twenty ninth,
while majority Hispanic, was also unconstitutional, the letter said, because
it was created by two neighbors being coalition districts. So
it is well established that so called coalition districts run
a foul, if you will, of the Voting Rights Act
(05:42):
and the Fourteenth Amendment. That's what the Assistant Attorney General said,
and then threatened legal action if Texas didn't bring the
districts into compliance. So that's what the history, a little
nutshell history of that is. So there's a bit of
a big war about this for decades over creating districts
(06:04):
where multiple political cohesive voting groups constitute a majority. And
that's something that's not just in Texas. It's been in
other parts of the United States. There's been lots of
arguments about that. Stay tuned, I mean, that's a real
stay tuned because what happens with some of the other states,
(06:27):
what else happens before we get to those mid term elections,
and what's the right way to do that? And I
think I think it's I think it's gonna be interesting
to see what if any states have their own definition
(06:48):
of what they would call what do I think is
retaliation for what they think is wrong, They're going to
how they're going to justify that, and what ultimately that
is going to look like, Right in the meantime, Yes,
there was an earthquake in New York City, just a
small one, but it kind of rattled some nerves. The
epicenter was in New Jersey, just west of New York City.
(07:12):
It was in Hasbrick Heights, New Jersey, in Bergen County,
about ten kilometers below the surface. Three point zero magnitude,
so relatively minor, but there were reports of brief shaking
in parts of the parts of the area. We had
(07:34):
somebody who sent us an email and that talked about that,
and there were security cameras and whatnot that caught some
people jumping up in confusion where they tried to figure
out what was going on. Was there something that happened outside,
Was there a crash, was there some other such thing
and people being startled by noises, But no reports of
(07:55):
any serious damage. And three point zero is not considered
as significant quake, but it definitely rattled rattled some people,
that's for sure. Lonie Anderson of the hit TV series
WKRP in Cincinnati has died. She was just days away
(08:17):
from turning eighty years old. WKRP in Cincinnati was a
big hit. It aired from nineteen seventy eight to nineteen
eighty two. It was about a struggling Ohio radio station
trying to reinvent itself with a rock format. A lot
of famous people were in that, including Howard Hesman. She
was one of them too as well. Tim Reid. Jan
(08:38):
Smithers was also in it too. She was the receptionist
for WKRP man cave on the.

Speaker 11 (12:03):
I'm going to the man Cave, going to the Marri Cave,
to the Marri Cave.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Ay any thanks, We are in the man Cave. Welcome everybody.
By the way, I had Susie who asked me, Kate,
are women in the man Cave too? Yes, everyone's in
the man Cave. It's a figure speech. I wrote a
book called Invade the Man Cave. In a way it is,
and it was all about sports of all sorts, and
I talk about how to boost your sports knowledge. It
(12:35):
was really so fun. I wrote a couple different editions
of it. It's out there on Amazon, Barnes and Noble,
all that kind of stuff. And so anyway, so this
segment is man Cave. We talk about sports here, sports
of all sorts, including the NFL. There is, I think,
nothing like being at a Hall of Fame induction ceremony,
(12:57):
particularly if it's your team, your player that's inducted, somebody
you followed as a kid, as an adult, whatever. And
there were four that got in to the Hall of Fame.
It's the smallest class they've had since two thousand and five.
Jared Allen, Eric Allen, Sterling Sharp, and Antonio Gates. So
(13:22):
it's interesting, and I listened to all the speeches. I
just think it's besides winning the Super Bowls, one of
those sacred moments for any football player, and so I
picked a couple out because it would take us a
long time to play all of them. Of course, Jared
Allen finished his Hall of Fame career with one hundred
and thirty six sacks, the twelfth most in NFL history
(13:43):
since sacks became a stat back in nineteen eighty two.
Is eight seasons with ten plus sacks, tied for the
six NFL history, and the list goes on and on
with Eric Allen. So here's a little snippet. I mean
Jared Allen, that's Eric Allen. I was thinking of Eric
(14:05):
Allen too with the fifty four receptions, but Jared Allen
is who I was talking about. And this is a
snippet of his speech.
Speaker 12 (14:14):
Why I could be summed up with three things, fear, respect,
and the pursuit of greatness. And when I talk about fear,
I'm not talking about that type of fear that cripples
you and makes you avoid something. I'm talking about that
healthy fear of failure, that fear that motivates you to
(14:35):
do whatever you can to succeed, that type of fear
that lets you get knocked down and then realize you
don't want to get knocked down again, so you pick
yourself up, you learn.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
And you improve.
Speaker 13 (14:45):
And respect.
Speaker 12 (14:46):
I've only played this game for two reasons. The respect
of my peers and the respect of those who came
before me.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Here's what I love. He is a former Vikings defensive end,
played most of that twelve year career there, and he
got kind of choked up about it, you know, and he.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Should have.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
He was really incredible. If you go back and you
look at any footage of him, you remember watching him play, certainly,
so he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
And he got that call. So good for Jared Allen.
I liked his speech. I love what he said. They're
Sterling Sharp, part of the Brothers. Sharp member's brother Shannon
(15:28):
also in the Hall of Fame. They were the first
brother brother duo there, which is such a rare thing.
And this is what he talked about with his brother.
Speaker 11 (15:39):
As one half of the first brothers selected to the
Pro Football Hall of fame. You got to come up
here and stand next to me. My man, you got
to do it. You have to learn to follow before
(16:04):
you can leave. When Papa died and you were crying
your eyes out, I prayed to God, do not let
me cry. I need to be strong for him, and
God got me through that.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, he's somebody I interviewed a couple a couple of
times in my career. Such a nice guy. He played
wide out for, of course, Green Bay Packers. He played
college football for the South Carolina Game Cox in the NFL.
As far as that career eighty eight to ninety four,
his career got shortened by a neck injury. Then he
became an analyst for the NFL Network, and he's the
(16:44):
older brother of Pro Football Hall of famers. I mentioned
tight end Shannon Sharp, So how about that and talking
about the father and what happened there and he set
all kinds of records, and I thought that was a really,
really great choice. There's always arguments over who gets in,
and we've had people on this show who have the
(17:04):
Hall of Fame vote, and it's interesting to say what
it is that gets them in. So then of course
you talked about Antonio Gates. He's one of the greatest
receiving tight ends I think in NFL history, nine hundred
and fifty five catches for over eleven thousand, eight hundred
and forty one yards one hundred and sixteen touchdowns during
his sixteen year career and fun, fun, fun to watch.
(17:29):
Eric Allen I mentioned him finished with fifty four interceptions
in his career, six Pro ball selections, a first team
All Pro selection in nineteen eighty nine. His thirty four
interceptions are tied with Brian Dawkins and Bill Bradley for
the most in Eagles history. Fly Eagles Fly, and the
fifty four total interceptions twenty first in NFL history. It
(17:51):
was cool about his Hall of Fame speech is he
talked about his sons. He has a bunch of sons,
and he talked about them all and how proud he
was of them, and he focused a big chunk of
what he had to say about them. So congrat How
was some applause, Congratulations to all of them. It's really
tough to get into the Hall of Fame, as we
have learned through our various connections and interviews with people
(18:15):
in what it takes to get there. It's not always
an obvious route to do that. Let's just put it
that way. Katie Ledcie, Katie Ledci setting all kinds of records.
Boy oh boy, she is one of the all time best,
and she proves it again and again. How many records
(18:36):
has she broken? So she wins again in the American
swimmers set relay world records. She's unbeaten in the eight
hundred free style. Here's what she said about that afterwards.
Speaker 14 (18:48):
I had to go the whole way. I mean the
last one hundred. You know, I don't know what you felt,
but it's like you don't want to push it too
early because you know, then you get a little afraid
that you're going to die at the end. So it
was just trying to build in each hundred and yeah,
just keep going.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah. They were all in Singapore for this, for the
World Championships. And it's interesting she won her first race
in twenty twelve in the Olympics and has never lost
since in a major competition. We're about the eight hundred freestyle,
think about the dominance in that. Incredible and then the
(19:27):
relay team and wow, again, really fun to watch team
USA because I think when we get closer to the Olympics,
and it's one of my favorites. It's one of my
favorite things to watch in the Olympics. Probably a lot
of you too. Ladeki's won twenty three gold medals at
World Championships, thirty overall, nine Olympic gold medals, fourteen Olympic
(19:51):
medals overall, if you're counting, that's what forty four my math.
Forty four Olympic and World medals. Wow wow, wow wow.
How about some Team USA love for that? USA USA,
I like it for sure. Let's turn to Major League baseball.
(20:14):
It was an interesting week in a Major League baseball.
I saw a bunch of highlights called a couple of games.
I'll pick some of them apart for you, the ones
I know you care about because you're always asking me
to tell me what happened in that game? Cardinals Padres
got the better of you, seven to three out of
Petco Park. And what did that game look like? I
saw some of the highlights or low lights. If you're
(20:36):
listening to me in the great State of Missouri in
Saint Louis, and you look at Dylan Ceec who was
just amazing. He allowed one hit over five innings. That's
part of the problem, striking out nine and that's the thing.
So the Padres won for the seventh time in eight games.
There are three games behind the NL West leading Dodgers.
(20:58):
And for the car Rdinals, you know, they got on
the board at the top of the ninth bases loaded singles,
but it wasn't enough. They could not break that open.
So the Cardinals traveled to Los Angeles to pay the
Dodgers on Monday, and we'll see if they turn that around, right,
(21:19):
they'll turn it around. Of course, there's plenty of time,
a lot of road left in the MLB season, although
it seems like time just flies, doesn't it. Okay, Diamondback
fans picked up their fifty third win six' four over The.
A's how did that? Happen Blaze Alexander homer to help
(21:41):
the D backs beat The a's On, Sunday and then
they played a little bit of small ball too that
also helped secure that. Win and The diamondbacks especially scored
three runs in the second against a rookie pitcher that
made a big, Difference Jack, perkins who gave up five
hits and walked three in three, innings and they picked
(22:06):
that one. Up so it's a big win for them
because they need to break open to get deeper into the.
Fifties if they're gonna go, anywhere you got to get
closer to that sixty sixty sixty, sixty all, right believe
it or, Not, boy the man cave just flew. By
oh wait till you Meet Joshua seth. Next he is incredibly.
Talented think, digimond think A, kiro think. Voiceover Incredibly you
(22:32):
don't want to miss this. Conversation, WOW i am so
(22:56):
excited to introduce you To Joshua. Seth this is.
Speaker 15 (23:01):
A man of, many many talents who you probably may
know his voice As tie In, digimon but it's not just.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
There he could be heard in over one HUNDRED tv
shows and. Movies he's certainly known As, tie but that
voice but in so many, other so many other animes
and so many other voiceovers for just some incredible. Things
like EVEN i was looking at this the other. DAY
i love. THEM i Love, SpongeBob AND i love the
(23:34):
Movie SpongeBob, SquarePants and he's the prisoner in, that AND
i had no, ideas, like of course it's Josh he's.
Amazing he's so, talented but not just that. Area he's
an incredible mentalist as. WELL i got a chance to
see his SHOW i want to, say maybe four weeks,
ago and it was. Amazing plus he's a gifted, speaker
(23:56):
AND i could go on and on and on from
mind reading to voice so to stepping on stages and
really inspiring people and empowering. People so we are thrilled
to welcome him to the. Show, joshua thanks for coming.
Speaker 13 (24:11):
On, wow what an. INTRO i should take you around
with me at. Parties what do you? Do and Then
i'll just point to you and you say all THAT
i like.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
IT i could have a career as a professional. Introducer.
Absolutely so that is a. Lot but let's start back
to the. Beginnings when you were a kid In. Ohio
growing up In, ohio could you have ever had imagined
what you've.
Speaker 13 (24:37):
Accomplished, yes BECAUSE i never felt LIKE i belonged. THERE
i REALLY i grew up in the. COUNTRY i, mean
my parents are professional. People they're they were both, psychologists
but WHAT i was surrounded by were cows and. CORNFIELDS
i mean the real. COUNTRY i mean my. PETS i
had a, chicken a, goat and a. Monkey WHEN i
(25:01):
was growing up at different. Times SO i was like
a circus right not far off and five horses THAT
i had to feed before, school and ALL i wanted
to do was get the hell out of there and
move TO la Or New York. City EVENTUALLY i did
both and you, know be on the stage or be
on the. Screen. YEAH i had this idea of. Starting,
well as the legend, goes WHEN i was eight years
(25:22):
old AND i walked into a theater for the first
time and forced myself in front of the producer and
the director that we're casting a show THAT i wasn't
even up. For get me on the.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Stage, yeah, yeah so you knew. It but as you,
said you grew up in the. Country you go to
when you get out of high, school you go to
the very Prestigious New York University Tish school of The,
arts and you must have learned a lot. There.
Speaker 13 (25:48):
Yeah that was, well that's HOW i became a voice.
Actor WHEN i make the comic con, appearances they always asked,
that you, know how do you get into? This and
it really started with my, dad who was a radio.
Psychologist do you remember that old Show. Fraser he was
like a real Life fraser Before, Fraser so he built
his practice in Northeastern ohio by having the number ONE
(26:11):
am at the. Time it WAS am talk radio show
in that region all WHILE i was growing, up and
so many TIMES i would go to the radio station
and see the carts and the production and even be
on the mike and stuff like. That SO i was
very familiar with. Radio and WHEN i went From ohio
to the big city To manhattan to go to, college
(26:31):
everything was very unfamiliar except for the radio. Station SO
i got myself a SHOW, Wnyu New York, city fifty thousand,
watts going out to three. States and it wasn't THAT
i wanted to be a, broadcaster but it just felt very,
familiar and it was in the performance sort of, environment
AND i didn't have a lot of performing, opportunities of,
course growing up At, ohio OH i do have to
(26:53):
mention this, though before we jump. Ahead so by that
point WHEN i went to, COLLEGE i had had over
one thousand theater shows in front of paying audiences in
e equity performing. Situation because WHEN i was eight years,
old the local what wasn't really a community theater was
(27:14):
it was the.
Speaker 16 (27:16):
Theater where The broadway musicals would go to work out
the touring version of their productions In, Akron, ohio AND
i just happened to, live you, know twenty thirty minutes from,
there and they were Casting brigadoon and they needed a redheaded,
child and my younger brother had red hair and was not.
Speaker 13 (27:34):
Interested and as the story, GOES i just walked right
up to the table where they were doing the, casting
just cut the line in front of everybody and, Said
i'll do whatever it. Takes you can paint freckles on
my face and dye my hair, red, like let's. Go
and they did not cast, me but they remembered my.
NAME i had a big believer in self. Promotion and
(27:57):
the next show they were casting was the tour version
Of Yule Brenner's The king AND i as they Left
broadway to go on, tour they cast me As Prince Chilla,
longcorn which is the child. Lead and it was eight
shows for eight, weeks and THEN i was in every
production they did from the TIME i was eight to.
Eighteen so by the TIME i got TO, NYU i
had really paid my dues AND i had my chops
(28:17):
as a. Performer so WHEN i started that radio, SHOW
i was very fluid on the mic and speaking, extemporaneously
and there was no, hesitation you, know in terms of
broadcasting or anything like. That so the show did. WELL
i did it throughout my time AT. Nyu but one
day my air conditioner broke AND i was. Hot and,
(28:41):
this this is really what launched my voice acting, career
is that my air conditioner broke AND i just wanted
to cool, down and SO i went to this art
house movie theater In manhattan that was playing this very
interesting movie with a red motorcycle on the. Front, actually
you see the movie behind. Me for the listeners at,
(29:01):
Home joshua is pointing to this wall of DVDs of
movies that he's, voiced and one of them is that's
displayed is A. Kira back to our show already in.
Progress all, Right so that movie with the red red,
motorcycle that's A. Kira it's on every critics list of
the number one anime movie of all, time and for good.
(29:22):
Reason it's art and it allowed anime to break through
To american, audiences and it showed that animation can be
more than just for. Kids this is very much for. Adults,
ANYWAY i saw that. Movie it blew my, mind AND
i hatched a plan to use the radio show to
create a, demo AND i use that demo to get
an agent In Los, angeles and a week after, GRADUATING
(29:45):
i moved out there And i'm, like, Yes i'm a voice.
Actor Now i'm gonna voice an. Anime but there was
a flaw on my, Plan, kate do you know what
the flaw?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Was it was hard to get a.
Speaker 13 (29:54):
Job, no it didn't even. Exist there was no anime,
yet nothing was going. ON i was years to. That
So i'd always had like a lifelong interest in, Magic
SO i started doing magic at kid's birthday parties just
to pay the bills WHILE i started auditioning and here
and there getting a.
Speaker 14 (30:12):
Gig you.
Speaker 13 (30:12):
Know my first commercial Was, Mom, dad can we go To?
Disneyland which is you, know national. Commercial and you, KNOW
i was, like, okay Now i'm a working voice. Actor,
no a month goes, by two months goes, by, nothing
and then, oh one one episode of Rug, rats you,
know another month or two one episode Of Hey, arnold
stuff like. That and then EVENTUALLY i got cast to
(30:36):
replace another voice actor as the voice of the robot
in the late nineties on a little shell Called Power.
Rangers perhaps you've heard of. It oh, yeah aye ay.
Ay SO i took over the voice Of alpha Five
danger and THEN i met the everybody working At, saban
which Him, saban the now billionaire at the. Time he
(31:00):
used the success Of Power ranges to launch a network
Called Fox. Kids and that, network the flagship show that
they launched it with Was, Digimon and that's HOW i
was in a position to be able to land the
main Character, tie the leader of The, digimon WHICH i
have now voiced. For, well this will be the twenty
(31:21):
sixth year we had the HIT tv, show the millennial
iconic touchstone Of digimon the, movie And i'm actually voiced
that main character in all nine movies and we're still.
Going it's the seventy fifth highest grossing media franchise in the. World.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Wow AND i think Of, tie it's such a recognizable.
Voice what's that been like for? You and, See i'm
going back to this question BECAUSE i always, think did
you ever think it would be that? SUCCESSFUL i, mean
you believed in, it but did you think it was
gonna be that?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Big?
Speaker 13 (31:52):
No, no because there was no streaming back, then there
were no social media, Channels there's No uto so when
we would record a, show it would play On saturday,
morning and then in that first season it was the
number one animated show On saturday morning. Television you remember
That saturday MORNING. Tv and then it was every day after.
(32:14):
School so all these millennials WHEN i do The Comic con,
appearances they all come up and, say thank you for
making my childhood. Great we'd, run my brother AND i
would run home from the school bus and sit down
in front of THE tv and listen to you you,
know Voice digimon and pretty much everything else that you see,
here all these like other hundred movies and shows as
a result of that, success including which we can get into.
(32:36):
Later HOW i ended up voicing the main character In
akira seven years after having seen. It that was when
the voice acting career came full. Circle BUT i had
no idea that decades later people would still be watching
this stuff because it's on demand On, hulu like you
can see it right now right well not, now but you,
know after listening to Amazing, americans then you could turn
(32:59):
on The hulo and you could see you, know many
or The crunchy. ROLE a lot of my shows are
on Crunchy roll as well now and so you can
see it at any, time and some new new generations
are being introduced to. It AND i have fans that are, millennials,
which believe it or, not they're in their thirties, now
and then their children are growing up watching this. Too so,
no there was no way to conceive of the fact
(33:22):
that that would.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Happen what do people not know about voice over that
maybe you didn't know. INITIALLY i, mean obviously you have a.
Voice in just this short, period we can tell because
you can switch the tone of your voice a character
doing a, character almost an announcer. Voice so you have that,
(33:43):
gift and there is a gift you CAN'T i think
some people, think, WELL i have deep. PIPES i can
just walk into a studio and open a mic and
That's there's more to it than.
Speaker 13 (33:52):
That, yeah, yeah, well, HEY a couple things come to, Mind.
Kate one is that your voice is an. Instrument so
just because you have an interesting sounding voice doesn't mean
that you know how to play all the notes in your.
Instrument now you can do very well only playing in
a very limited. RANGE i, Mean Bob doon's done pretty
(34:14):
well and he sings about four, notes and that's being,
generous but there's so much more to. It so you
can learn to use that instrument and exercise it as
you would any other muscle group in your body and
find that vocal. Flexibility anyone can do.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
That we come back voicing a main character in Nikiro
next ON atm.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
Let's see if something costs less but people are happier with.
It that sounds like something to look, into and that
is meta. Share maybe you've heard switching to meta share
to pay for healthcare can save many families up to
five hundred bucks a, month and that is, Huge but
it's also true that people are way more satisfied after
making the switch. Too the members said wtisfaction rate for
meta share is double that of the typical health insurance.
(35:04):
Plan double meta share works. Too it's been around for thirty.
Years members have shared more than five billion dollars of
each other's. Bills people love having telehealth and a huge
NATIONWIDE ppo. Network so, yeah, really you can save a
ton and like it. Better imagine being happy with how
you're taking care of your. Healthcare so if you're self
employed or part of the gig, economy or you just
want to plan you're happy, with you can call right.
(35:26):
Now you'll get a price within two, Minutes so see
what you can. Say this is a very very smart
use of two. Minutes here's the number you need call
eight five five share. Forty that's eight five five share

Com we're back With Joshua Sef, joshua how did you
(37:59):
gland a role in.
Speaker 13 (38:00):
The producers In japan have specifically asked for you to Voice.
Tetsuo Which tetsuo Is he's the, villain but he is
essentially he is a key or he is the force
that threatens to blow Up Neo. Tokyo and if you
haven't seen, it it is sort of like the anime
version Of Blade. Runner and if you haven't Seen Blade,
runner why like this is? Great why around the same
(38:24):
time that they came. Out these these movies are cyberpunk
movies and without them there wouldn't have been The. Matrix for,
instance The worshrowski's asked the cast and crew of The
matrix to Watch akira before they started, filming because they,
said this is the vibe that we are going. To
SO i got that. CALL i didn't have to. Audition
only time that ever happened where it was simply handed to,
(38:46):
me AND i realized that my entire journey as a
voice actor had come full. Circle so a few years
LATER i QUIT. WOW i LEFT la BECAUSE i already
accomplished my, call, RIGHT i did WHAT i said out.
TODAY i only really still voice A digimond because that's
my legacy character and it's my own voice, basically SO
i don't want to let it.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Go it's funny because you talk about that, journey and
then you talked about how you had to make ends
meet and worked in the, magic WHICH i saw you
as the. Mentalist that was mind blowing what you. DID
i couldn't figure it. OUT i was trying so. HARD
i feel LIKE i burned some brain. Cells but how
did that? Happen and how did that then morph into
(39:27):
this incredible skill you have that you've taken all over the.
Speaker 13 (39:31):
World, really thank. You it's a real. PASSION i really
really loved doing the show to the point Where i'll
fly halfway around the world for a chance to just
be on a stage for forty five minutes or an.
HOUR i, mean who in the right mind would do
that except for an entertainer who's just loves it more than,
anything you, know other than my children in. Life but
(39:53):
it's been around, longer so back in the, nineties, YEAH
i had to make ends. MEET i had to pay
the bills in some way WHILE i was auditioning and
not booking things BECAUSE i wasn't very good as a voice.
Actor it takes time to develop these. Skills and, HONESTLY
i wasn't very good as a magician, either BUT i
was good enough to book kids. Parties SO i did
(40:14):
a lot of kids. Parties in, FACT i did so.
Many part of it going To i'm not going to
toot my own hold too much here and SAY i
was such a good magician THAT i was booked so
much in the nineties THAT i opened an. Agency, no
the REASON i opened an agency was BECAUSE i was
good at. Marketing so what happened WAS i started getting
(40:36):
so many calls as a result of the. Marketing and
this there's a saying in marketing that marketing is marketing is, marketing,
right it doesn't really matter what your marketing or to.
Whom these principles are the. Same so we didn't have
a lot of the tools that make it a lot easier,
now Like google ads And facebook ads and things like
that that give you reach for. Pennies back then you
(40:56):
had to BUY i bought double quarter column display ads
in the phone books. AUDIENCE a phone book is a
list of phone numbers for the yellow pages would be for,
businesses and the white pages would be for how do
people know right you're if you're under a certain, age
like let's say UNDER i don't. Know forty thirty five
(41:17):
phone book phone books were these Thick that's how people
found stuff Before. Google Before, google you had to advertise
In Los angeles in every single phone book and every
single kids. Publication, well let me tell, You, KATE i
went seventy thousand dollars in debt in my twenties on credit,
cards opening this agency and starting this. Business but within
(41:38):
less than two, YEARS i would, say like a year
and a, HALF i was booking one thousand shows a,
year which is only it's like twenty shows a, weekend
like twenty five shows a. Weekend AND i had all
my friends going out doing shows THAT i trained them to,
do and THEN i would take the best ones for,
myself the corporate, events these celebrity, events things like, that
(41:59):
and then all the normal ones WOULD i would give
to all these other. People AND i kept that going
for five or six years Until disney sued me AND
i settled AND i sold the. Agency, yeah it's all,
right why do under a? Bridge but because we were
also doing custom characters and, stuff and they, said, well you,
know like allowing a misperception to exist in the mind
of the customer's tantamount to copyright. Infringement And i'm, like
(42:20):
but we're not sending out you know, Whatever Mickey, Mouse
winnie The, pooh whatever it. Was we're sending out some generic.
Character BUT i didn't want to fight. It and already
again i'd sort of accomplished that. GOAL i bought a
house with Kids Party Magic money in The Los, ANGELES
i really AND i accompassed the. Goal SO i, thought
you know, WHAT i didn't come out here to be
an agent. ANYWAY i know how to sell, Now SO
(42:43):
i sold it off for pieces of the, business and
THEN i really honed in on the. Magic and around
the time That digimon, hit which would would have been
ninety eight or ninety, nine that's around the time THAT
i sold That Kid's Magic Company Kids Entertainment company really
and focused on the. Magic and one of the it's
(43:04):
interesting when you meet people in, life how those connections
lead to other things that can really expand the possibilities
in your life and your. Career so one of the
people THAT i used to send out to do those kids.
Parties turns out she was the receptionist at a place
called The Magic castle In, Hollywood, california which is the
premiere performing venue for magicians in the. World and it
(43:25):
was like five minutes from WHERE i. Lived but, again
because this is before The, INTERNET i had no idea
that it. Existed so she told me about. It she's,
like you, know you're performing a lot more than our
professional many of our professional. Members you should be a.
Member SO i went. DOWN i loved. It it's a private.
Club it has multiple performing, rooms a big stage or a,
parlor which was my, favorite or a close up room
(43:47):
or bar. Magic there's all kinds of magic going on
seven nights a, week some of the best magicians in the.
World and SO i, AUDITIONED i. JOINED i was there
almost every night for a couple of years UNTIL i
compt and then One joshua was pointing to some plaques
and a tiny little award behind. Him let's, Say Magic
(44:09):
Castle Olympics Gold medal. Winner why is it Tiny because
the really big Winners cup that's in The Magic. Castle
so if you ever go, there look for my. Name
it's right in the. Front now that's what launched my touring,
career except THAT i couldn't LEAVE la BECAUSE i was
voicing on all these. Series SO i attempted to do
both careers at a high level for another five or
(44:32):
six years until, WELL i guess two thousand and, seven
so maybe six or seven. YEARS i was younger THAN
i had a lot of. Energy but one DAY i
came home from doing a lot of shows over the
weekend and THEN i had a full slate of recording
sessions for the next, week AND i remember lying down
on the hardwood floor of the of the living room
(44:54):
in my little home In burbank and just not being
able to get, up just feeling like there was a
weight on my. Chest this press sure had gotten to,
me AND i just had to make a. Decision it
hit me all at once like, that LIKE i have
to go one direction or the, other either the magic
or the, voiceovers because Otherwise i'm going to get my
zebbah heart. Attack and WHEN i stood, UP i was,
(45:14):
like it's gonna be The magic Because i've always wanted
to tour And i've never had a chance to go on.
Tour and AFTER i won The Magic, OLYMPICS i had
agents telling, Me, hey you can do the college. Circuit
you can do the cruise ship, circuit you can do comedy,
clubs you, know all of Which i've done. Now BUT
i couldn't do BECAUSE i couldn't Leave. La SO i
wound up all my serious, commitments sold my house In
la and went on the, road and THEN i did
(45:36):
about four hundred colleges over the next several years on
THE naca, circuit and about two hundred cruise. Ships cruise
ship gigs are. Great people make fun of those, entertainers
but a lot of them are really. Good it's a
wonderful lifestyle if you don't have. Kids and they would
fly me to another, country put me up in a.
RESORT i joined the ship already in. PROGRESS i do
a show for one thousand, people sold out because they
(45:59):
didn't pay anything for the, show, right they just show
up and twice in an, evening and then that was.
It THEN i got to take a cruise and get
paid for. It and then BECAUSE i didn't have, kids
then they'd let me off in another country And i'd, say,
Well i'll just stay here for a week or two
until the next, gig And i'd be In, thailand or
i'd be In italy Or i'd be In jamaica or
whatever and hang out and explore and see the, world
(46:20):
and then they'd fly me to the next. Ship AND
i did a lot And, princess and then eventually they
were all On disney Because disney really values. Entertainment, Surprise.
Surprise and THEN i had, kids and THEN i stopped
doing those BECAUSE i didn't want to be gotten for
a week at a. Time and THEN i went into corporate,
entertainment so that worked out pretty well.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Too, wow well of doing the magic. SHOWS i, mean
you went to so many amazing. Places and this is
a hard, question but was there one place that was
just blew your? Mind like you can't believe you've been flown? Here,
yeah you were here on a boat.
Speaker 13 (46:53):
Whatever usually the dangerous places That americans typically don't go,
to they're very interesting BECAUSE I i felt Like i'm
in a foreign. Country when you go to The, caribbean it's, like, okay,
well what's the, difference you, know except there's a lot
of diamonds international, everywhere the food's the, same everybody Speaks. English.
NOW i liked being In. BRAZIL i liked being In
(47:13):
egypt And lebanon And Costa rica and, well coastory could
maybe not not as, dangerous but oh what Was, cartagenia
you know In. Colombia and Then i've since vacation In
bogatah And, Quito. Ecuador AND i remember walking from In
brazil AFTER i got off the ship contract AND i
(47:35):
had a money belt on with a lot of cash
for people that bought my. Books BECAUSE i wrote my
first book on, ships there's a lot of free. Time
and back THEN i was also doing comedy hypnosis shows
and people would always make a, Joke, hey could you
hypnotize me to lose? Weight AND i, thought, well, yeah
SO i started doing those seminars and THEN i wrote
my first book on that and then they, would you,
(47:57):
know pay me for the CDs and the book. SALES
i had all this, cash money, belt AND i got
off the ship AND i have this and my flight
