Was the original voice of Dragon Ball Z's narrator almost arrested before he ever got a chance to work on the show? To paraphrase his most famous saying: Find out [THIS] Time, on [Final Forum]!

Jelli and Bekinney are still on a break from format and Akira Toriyama's worldwide manga and anime phenomenon Dragon Ball, and are interviewing one of the voices of our childhood, Dale D. Kelly, the original voice of The Narrator and Captain Ginyu, as well as Porunga. 

In this episode:

  • We dive into Dale's career, beginning with his time in radio and his early years in entertainment.
  • Dale tells us how he almost got arrested on his first night on the job
  • Why he chose to answer an ad in a Dallas newspaper
  • What made him initially turn down the opportunity
  • His philosophy behind voice acting as well as music, as he became the composer for Episode of Bardock and The History of Trunks
  • What led to his leaving Funimation
  • His time after Funimation, including working with Rich Little and Tommy Lasorda, as well as a story about Johnny Carson
  • and more, including some general pop culture, trivia, and editorializing, as usual 

Join us as we continue to uncover the cultural meanings, publication facts, inspirations and more behind the wildly popular Dragon Ball franchise, and unspool what we all love so much about Goku, the Dragon Ball franchise, the Dragon Ball anime, Dragon Ball manga, and more.
