The John and Heidie Show. This is the John and
Heidie Show podcast. The John and Heidie Show is a
syndicated radio show that's based out of Sooux Falls, South
Dakota that can be heard on over three hundred radio
stations around the country and around the world. And you

and Heidi. It's Friday. My beautiful bride is at my side.
(00:23):
Hello Heidi.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
How are you hello, John.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I'm good, It's Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It is Friday. I'm going to talk to Freddy today
from I Carly the kid that played Freddy, his real
name is Nathan Kress, and now I believe he is
Chuck E Cheese in a new Chuck E Cheese Christmas special.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
There's a Chucky Cheese Yes Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Well, it's brand new. It's coming out right now. So
this Chuck E Cheese Christmas Special. And if I'm reading
this correctly, I believe Nathan Kress the guy that I
think he is playing Chuck E Cheese. Okay, pretty sure.
I guess I'll find out. I'm going to ask him,
but I'm excited to talk to him. Our daughter and
our son used to watch I Carly all the time daughter.
So I watched it vicros them and I gotta admit
(01:01):
it was actually pretty cute. It's a good show, very
well done. So I'm excited to chat with Freddy on
a Friday, and it's fun to say that. Thanks for
listening to The John and Heidi.

Now with today's reason to part, Hey, here's my beautiful bride,
Heidi Small. What do you have for me? Heis?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
It is gingerbread cookie day. Who doesn't love gingerbread?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Very good? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yum. I can do maybe once twice a year. That's
about it. But I found a gingerbread martini that sounds heavenly.
It's got heavy whipping cream, it's got coffee liqueur vodka,
Irish cream and gingerbread cream and it sounds so yummy.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
That does.
Speaker 2 (01:51):

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now surveys and studies and such. A scientist says he
has a simple explanation for why aliens have not contacted us.
They're just not advanced. According to doctor Robin Corbett, a
senior research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, he
calls it radically mundanati, so it'd be like mundane radical mundanity.
(02:49):
His theory suggests that extraterrestrial civilizations exist in the Milky Way,
but none of developed technology capable of large scale astro
engineering or high powered beacons. Contact other civilizations would take
immense energy and millions of years for a response. Giving
a little motivation to try, he adds, brace yourself, Earth
is probably not a very interesting place to them. Anyway,
(03:11):
there's still a reasonable chance that we could detect ETC's
Corbett notes, it might be underwhelming. These civilizations might modestly
be only modestly more advanced than we are, which he
likens to like an iPhone forty two versus an iPhone seven.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Gosh, I'm so glad this guy knows exactly what's going on.
Where are we listening to this random thing?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Thank you, doctor Robin Corbett for your reports, surveys, and
studies and such on The John.

Big Screen, Little Screen. Central Perk Coffeehouse is officially opening
in New York City's Times Square December the fifth. A
new establishment also revealed two Friends inspired beverages will make
their debut. Why believe that it.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Took that long? I would have thought somebody would have
done this ago.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, the one with NYC Macha and ny Relia Taxi
tall Ice Cooler. I don't know what that is. And
then they have some sandwiches and they've got all kinds
of stuff that are all, uh, you know, friends themed,
which again, why did it take this exactly? And Buzz
and the Toy Story Gang are back and the first
teaser trailer for Toy Story five, the fifth film in
(04:33):
Pixar's iconic series, set to release in June of twenty
twenty six. So you can see that. I've got a
link to that. And Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine have
partnered with an AI audio company, Eleven Labs, to generate
virtual IA versions of themselves. I don't know where I'm
at on all this, but I just think I had
the opportunity to sell my voice to AI and I
(04:54):
chose not to. And I know most of you are going,
why would it matter? Like I don't want to sound
like an idiot. It's me sounding like an idiot. So yeah,
it's if you hear me, it's really me. Big screen,
little screen on the John and Heidi.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Did you know that honey never spoils? Yeah, you know that,
We talked about it. Archaeologists have found pots of honey
in ancient Egypt tombs over three thousand years old, and
the honey is still still perfectly edible. It's because honey's
natural composition, low moisture and high acidity creates an environment
that resists bacteria and spoilage. So that jara honey in
(06:01):
your cupboard, it could outlast your entire lifetime.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's amazing.

Time now for the joke of the day with my
beautiful bride, Heidi Small. What do you have for me, Heidi?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I want to I want to start this off with
the fact that I know many people that ride Harley's
and I like them.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I write them, very, very very We're not doing this.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
We are because this joke cracks me up. This is
one of my favorite jokes. But I have lots of
friends that ride Harley.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Please and our biker friend thought this was hilarious, So
exactly do proceed, Heidi.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So, what's the difference between a Hoover and a Harley.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'm not saying it the position of.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
The dirt bag. I'm sorry, but that is funny.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
It is funny. A bike ker told her that, and
she did, Yeah, that's that's the joke of the day.
Preceded that with and afterwards apologized and moving on. Thanks
for listening to the John and Heidi Show.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Time now for the scoop of the day. Oliver Ryol,
I don't know if I'm saying that right made history
by becoming the tallest player ever to play NCAA basketball
seven foot nine freshmen suited up for the Florida Gators
second game seven foot nine. He's nineteen years old, three
hundred and five pounds, has a wingspan of about eight feet,
(08:07):
and wears a size twenty shoe. He was six foot
one when he was eight years old, crossed the seven
foot mark before he got into seventh grade. For comparison,
he's three inches taller than NBA Hall of Famer Yao Ming.
So he's three inches taller and he's nineteen raisy, Yeah,
so what would you do if you inadvertently received the
(08:28):
pay that belonged to dozens of your coworkers.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Heidie postcard from my vacation.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Seven million rubles is like eighty seven thousand dollars was
given to a guy in Russia and he does not
plan to give it back. The funds were accidentally wired
to him due to a software glitch. Vladimir Reikoff said
he initially thought the surprise windfall was part of a
rumored salary bonus a bonus dude, but accounting quickly informed
(08:55):
him that that money was meant to go to thirty
four employees at a different branch. After research online, he
argued that, hey, I do have the right to keep
this money, claiming the payment was labeled as salary and
it was sent through the company's name. The companies pressured
him to return it. Instead, he bought a car and
he moved. Lower courts ruled against him, but he has
(09:15):
appealed to Russia's Supreme Court, insisting that this money is
my money.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
So yeah, I don't think he's probably gonna win.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
No, and I bet his friends don't like him no more.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
So that's I thousand, So it's seven million rubles but
eighty seven thousand, like us dollars, that's not enough to
start a new life. No, no, that is your scoop
of the day on The John and Heidie Show.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
The HEDI Show.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Thank you so much for listening to The John and
Heidie Show. Brought to you in park by Jacecasemedical dot com.

Thank you for listening to The John and Heidie Show.
Excited a visit with Nathan Kress you know him from
I Carle and many other fun things. But you're gonna
know for something else now, a Chuck E Cheese Christmas special.
(10:03):
This looks like a lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Absolutely, thank you for having me. And yes, fun is
exactly the right word. I mean, if you think about generationally,
the one word that I would probably attach to my
memories of Chuck E Cheese being there as a kid,
it was the Hall of Fame of fun. There was
no better birthday than that. That was my favorite birthday
of my childhood. So getting to have a hand and
(10:26):
launching this universe of Chuck E Cheese and what he's
like in the day to day and being a mouse
who works at a party supply store who somehow manages
to attempt to pull off a surprise Christmas party for
a quasi omniscient character like Santa Claus. It's a large undertaking, yeah,
but it has been an absolute treat and it ended
(10:48):
up being this project that is just so full of
genuine joy and heart tugs at your heartstrings a little bit,
and then it finishes off with these like absolute earworm
songs that are just stuck in your head for months
and months on end, long after Christmas is over. So
we're hitting all the notes. I finally got a chance
to watch it. I got my stolen sneak peek, and
I loved it. My whole entire family loved it, from
(11:10):
my four year old to my wife. We're just so
stoked to bring this to the world. I think it's
going to be the perfect way to kick off the
Christmas season.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Absolutely, and Nathan, you get to be the voice of
Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Right, Yes, daunting undertaking to figure out, you know, like
I said, a character that I grew up with, trying
to figure out how do you turn this character who
I remember into a living breathing, ongoing character who has
his own universe, his own world, his friends that he
interacts with. It's a completely different take on Chuck E
(11:44):
Cheese and a challenge really as an actor, like this
is not just some animated oh wows that cartoon this is.
This is a fully fleshed out acting role for me,
and I took it very very seriously. And thankfully John
Berry and zach Moncreif, the guys who brought this world
to life, they took it very very seriously too. It
(12:06):
truly is a passion project for all of us, and
I hope that that comes across on screen, that this
isn't just some holiday thing. This is a true love
letter to the character. And I don't say that flippantly.
It was such a treat to figure out how to
do a character liked it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm going to sound like an old dude when I
say this, but when I was a kid, we had
to be home at a certain time on a certain
day to see a Christmas special or you just miss
it forever. Now you can watch it whenever you want
to watch it.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
It's awesome for what it's worth. Obviously, I do feel
like a little bit of.
Speaker 10 (12:38):
A boomer when I say, well, back in my day,
we had to get out the TV guide and on
paper and figure out when my cartoons we're going to
be on. And you guys have it either you can
just hit play. Although now on the dad's scheduling side,
I go, oh my gosh, you can be watching the
game on Thanksgiving Day and then at halftime pop this
(12:59):
bad boy on. Yeah, the tight forty five.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
It's the exact right amount of time to be able
to squeeze it into your holiday schedule when the family's
all together for Thanksgiving. So it is, like you said,
it is ideal. In our generation. Now we do get
some perks of some flexibility to say, once everybody's all
hopped up on trip to fan and they're getting ready
to just have their Thanksgiving, settle down, you grab your
(13:22):
hot coco, you snuggle the family close, you get all
the generations together, and you watch your Chuck E Cheese.
And then you do it again in July when you
need a little holiday pick me up, You do whatever
you want.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's magical again. Our guest today Nathan Kress. He is
the voice of Chuck E Cheese and the New Chuck
E Cheese Christmas Special, but you also know him for
many other fun things voice acting, and I got to mention, I, Carly,
you did such a great job of being Freddie on
I Carly, are you anything at all like that character?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You know?
Speaker 7 (13:46):
I gotta say, by the end of the show, I
feel like we were kind of just some weird amalgamation
where like just some megazord of one character that, like
he became me, I became him where at this point
I think early indistinguishable, which was kind of nice because
when we came back around to do the adult version
(14:07):
of the show, it was great because not only is
he still the same guy, but he also became a dad,
and so I just got to lean into the general
embarrassing dorkish dadness that I have absorbed in the last
seven years of my life. So I feel like, luckily
Freddie was just able to evolve right along with me,
(14:27):
and whenever I'm being him, I feel like I'm essentially
just being myself. I love, which is why is such
a fun character to play. I just get to play
off of that and lean into my instincts.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I guess I love that. Nathan, thank you for your
time today.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (14:43):

Fun fact for you, Heidi, what's that?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
John?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
The word for the study of pronunciation or huppy, can
be pronounced two different ways and probably a third way. However,
I just said it. The study of pronunciation is more
than one pronunciation. Fun fact for a Heidi, what's that?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
John?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
The tradition of leaving out milk and cookies for Santa
started during the Great Depression as a way to teach
kids to share with others.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh that's cute.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Fun fact for a Heidi.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
What's that? John?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Babies start dreaming even before they're born. How do we
know that? Who knows that? I don't know how we
know that? I do another fun fact for a Heidi's
In nineteen sixty six, Mercedes came out with a different
idea for a car without a steering wheel. Instead, you
would control this nineteen sixty six Mercedes using a joystick.
(18:43):
That seems like a bad idea. Yeah it does, well,
I didn't catch on. We'll do one more fun fact
for you, Heidi.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
What's that? John?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Subways, ham, salami, and boloney that are all used in
the cold cut combo. They're all Turkey based, so that's
kind of cool. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (18:57):

some weird news. Move over, Mickey, there's a new Disney
in town. Utah. Couple Aubrey and Josh Jones welcome their
(19:26):
seventh child, Disney May Jones. They revealed her name with
a playful Instagram reel starring their six older children dressed
as classic Disney characters. The families love for the franchise
runs deep. The kids, age one through thirteen, have seen
countless Disney movies, and each has a uniquely creative name Trendy, Zaiy, Sonny, Truly, Journey,
(19:50):
and Rocky. Some online commenters raised eyebrows, but the Joneses
are not bothered. As Aubrey said, Disney inspires magic and joy.
That is all that matt end quote. Would you name
your kid Disney?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I wouldn't either, but you know what, that's to each
their own. I wonder if the company who has a
trademark on that name has anything to say about that.
Do you think that they like.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I don't think that they can say anything.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
But don't saying do you think that they would like that?
Or do do they think they don't?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I think they would like that because what if that
person grows up to be a bad person? Yeah, you know, jail.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
That is weird news On the John and Heidi Show.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Time off of the question of the day. This is
a little different than our usual questions because I don't
have that, So I grabbed one here quick because I realized,
oh wow, look what time it is. Time is for
the question of the day. I ask my beautiful bride,
which European nation is said to have invented hot dogs
and hamburgers?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Oh, think about Germany.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, Germany. I didn't realize they invented both. But according
to this Germany invented hot dogs and hamburgers. So that's
why they're called hamburgers from Hamburger.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Johanna's and Frankfurt.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
That could be see look at you. That is your
question of the day right here on the John Heidi Show,
The Heidi Show. Thank you so much for listening to
The John and Heidi Show, brought to you in part
by jasecasemedical dot com. Do you have a Jase case.
You can get all of the details for free right
now at jascasemedical dot com. Time now for something special
(21:53):
with Heidi Small. What do you have for me there, Heidi?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
So I'm gonna continue on with the last wishes things
because some of these are just absolutely fast and say,
we're going to talk about Michael Jackson, okay, and his
funeral took two weeks to plan, held at a twenty
thousand seat Staples Senator Senate Center in Los Angeles, and
they were charging twenty five dollars a person to get in,
(22:18):
even though scalpers were charging as much as ten thousand
dollars each once they got a.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Hold of those two to buy tickets to a future
the funeral.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
The fee was meant to offset expenses such as eleven
thousand dollars for invitations for VIP guests. Okay, sixteen thousand
for flowers.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Wait wait, did the VIP guys have to buy their
tickets too?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Probably not know? They were probably given their twenty five
thousand for the casket, thirty five thousand for his burial clothes,
and one million for the singer's internment. So where he
was buried was a million dollars?
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Did he not have life insurance? Did he not already
have millions of dollars?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Why are they doing?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
They also paid thirty thousand for security, but it wasn't
enough to keep the swell of onlookers and well worsers away.
The Los Angeles Police Department sent three thousand officers at
an expense of one point four million dollars to the
city's taxpayers. Holy cow, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (23:12):

wrap things up around here with good news, and I
think this is good news. Pastor's response to a mom
(25:15):
in need during a TikTok experiment went viral. It all
started with this little TikTok experiment and a pastor's willingness
to help a stranger. A small church in Kentucky is
gaining worldwide attention after the pastor's heartfelt response to what
he thought was a mother in need, a moment that's
now inspiring thousands to give back. TikToker Natalie Monroe began
(25:36):
an experiment to highlight genuine compassion in action and to
reward kind pastors who step up to help those in need.
Pretending to be a struggling mother seeking baby formula for
her two month old after SNAP benefits were paused, she
called churches across the country to see how would they respond.
When she called this particular church, Heritage Hope, pastor Johnny
(25:57):
Dunbar answered, and his immediate kind and has touched the
hearts of millions. What exactly are you needing? So how
much do you need? He asked win. Monroe replied, we
didn't hesitate. We can do this. Tell me what it
is in case I have to go get it. I'm
a great grandpa. What is it called. That's when she
revealed the truth that, hey, you know what, I'm actually
not in need. I'm looking for pastors who lead with love,
(26:18):
so I can recognize them and I can reward them.
And if you want to see this video, you can
see it. It's online and it's gone viral. And she
told him her voice filled with emotions, she said, I
just want you to know that you are an amazing person.
Isn't that great?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I like that too, love that.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
So anyway, he's gone viral and the whole world now
knows that this dude is awesome. So she decided to
post this, and there are people, there's some people that
even saying, I'm an atheist and I still love what
you're doing. I'm donating to your church.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
Nice?

It is gingerbread cookie day. Who doesn't love gingerbread?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Very good? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yum. I can do maybe once twice a year. That's
about it. But I found a gingerbread martini that sounds heavenly.
It's got heavy whipping cream, it's got coffee liqueur vodka,
Irish cream and gingerbread cream and it sounds so yummy.

Now surveys and studies and such. A scientist says he
has a simple explanation for why aliens have not contacted us.
They're just not advanced. According to doctor Robin Corbett, a
senior research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, he
calls it radically mundanati, so it'd be like mundane radical mundanity.
(02:49):
His theory suggests that extraterrestrial civilizations exist in the Milky Way,
but none of developed technology capable of large scale astro
engineering or high powered beacons. Contact other civilizations would take
immense energy and millions of years for a response. Giving
a little motivation to try, he adds, brace yourself, Earth
is probably not a very interesting place to them. Anyway,
(03:11):
there's still a reasonable chance that we could detect ETC's
Corbett notes, it might be underwhelming. These civilizations might modestly
be only modestly more advanced than we are, which he
likens to like an iPhone forty two versus an iPhone seven.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Gosh, I'm so glad this guy knows exactly what's going on.

Yeah, the one with NYC Macha and ny Relia Taxi
tall Ice Cooler. I don't know what that is. And
then they have some sandwiches and they've got all kinds
of stuff that are all, uh, you know, friends themed,
which again, why did it take this exactly? And Buzz

Did you know that honey never spoils? Yeah, you know that,
We talked about it. Archaeologists have found pots of honey
in ancient Egypt tombs over three thousand years old, and
the honey is still still perfectly edible. It's because honey's
natural composition, low moisture and high acidity creates an environment
that resists bacteria and spoilage. So that jara honey in
(06:01):
your cupboard, it could outlast your entire lifetime.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
I want to I want to start this off with
the fact that I know many people that ride Harley's
and I like them.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I write them, very, very very We're not doing this.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
We are because this joke cracks me up. This is
one of my favorite jokes. But I have lots of
friends that ride Harley.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Please and our biker friend thought this was hilarious, So
exactly do proceed, Heidi.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So, what's the difference between a Hoover and a Harley.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'm not saying it the position of.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
The dirt bag. I'm sorry, but that is funny.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
It is funny. A bike ker told her that, and
she did, Yeah, that's that's the joke of the day.
Preceded that with and afterwards apologized and moving on. Thanks
for listening to the John and Heidi Show.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Time now for the scoop of the day. Oliver Ryol,
I don't know if I'm saying that right made history
by becoming the tallest player ever to play NCAA basketball
seven foot nine freshmen suited up for the Florida Gators
second game seven foot nine. He's nineteen years old, three
hundred and five pounds, has a wingspan of about eight feet,
(08:07):
and wears a size twenty shoe. He was six foot
one when he was eight years old, crossed the seven
foot mark before he got into seventh grade. For comparison,
he's three inches taller than NBA Hall of Famer Yao Ming.
So he's three inches taller and he's nineteen raisy, Yeah,
so what would you do if you inadvertently received the
(08:28):
pay that belonged to dozens of your coworkers.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Heidie postcard from my vacation.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Seven million rubles is like eighty seven thousand dollars was
given to a guy in Russia and he does not
plan to give it back. The funds were accidentally wired
to him due to a software glitch. Vladimir Reikoff said
he initially thought the surprise windfall was part of a
rumored salary bonus a bonus dude, but accounting quickly informed
(08:55):
him that that money was meant to go to thirty
four employees at a different branch. After research online, he
argued that, hey, I do have the right to keep
this money, claiming the payment was labeled as salary and
it was sent through the company's name. The companies pressured
him to return it. Instead, he bought a car and
he moved. Lower courts ruled against him, but he has
(09:15):
appealed to Russia's Supreme Court, insisting that this money is
my money.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
So yeah, I don't think he's probably gonna win.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
No, and I bet his friends don't like him no more.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
So that's I thousand, So it's seven million rubles but
eighty seven thousand, like us dollars, that's not enough to
start a new life. No, no, that is your scoop
of the day on The John and Heidie Show.
Speaker 4 (09:38):

Thank you for listening to The John and Heidie Show.
Excited a visit with Nathan Kress you know him from
I Carle and many other fun things. But you're gonna
know for something else now, a Chuck E Cheese Christmas special.
(10:03):
This looks like a lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Absolutely, thank you for having me. And yes, fun is
exactly the right word. I mean, if you think about generationally,
the one word that I would probably attach to my
memories of Chuck E Cheese being there as a kid,
it was the Hall of Fame of fun. There was
no better birthday than that. That was my favorite birthday
of my childhood. So getting to have a hand and
(10:26):
launching this universe of Chuck E Cheese and what he's
like in the day to day and being a mouse
who works at a party supply store who somehow manages
to attempt to pull off a surprise Christmas party for
a quasi omniscient character like Santa Claus. It's a large undertaking, yeah,
but it has been an absolute treat and it ended
(10:48):
up being this project that is just so full of
genuine joy and heart tugs at your heartstrings a little bit,
and then it finishes off with these like absolute earworm
songs that are just stuck in your head for months
and months on end, long after Christmas is over. So
we're hitting all the notes. I finally got a chance
to watch it. I got my stolen sneak peek, and
I loved it. My whole entire family loved it, from
(11:10):
my four year old to my wife. We're just so
stoked to bring this to the world. I think it's
going to be the perfect way to kick off the
Christmas season.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Absolutely, and Nathan, you get to be the voice of
Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Right, Yes, daunting undertaking to figure out, you know, like
I said, a character that I grew up with, trying
to figure out how do you turn this character who
I remember into a living breathing, ongoing character who has
his own universe, his own world, his friends that he
interacts with. It's a completely different take on Chuck E
(11:44):
Cheese and a challenge really as an actor, like this
is not just some animated oh wows that cartoon this is.
This is a fully fleshed out acting role for me,
and I took it very very seriously. And thankfully John
Berry and zach Moncreif, the guys who brought this world
to life, they took it very very seriously too. It
(12:06):
truly is a passion project for all of us, and
I hope that that comes across on screen, that this
isn't just some holiday thing. This is a true love
letter to the character. And I don't say that flippantly.
It was such a treat to figure out how to
do a character liked it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm going to sound like an old dude when I
say this, but when I was a kid, we had
to be home at a certain time on a certain
day to see a Christmas special or you just miss
it forever. Now you can watch it whenever you want
to watch it.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
It's awesome for what it's worth. Obviously, I do feel
like a little bit of.
Speaker 10 (12:38):
A boomer when I say, well, back in my day,
we had to get out the TV guide and on
paper and figure out when my cartoons we're going to
be on. And you guys have it either you can
just hit play. Although now on the dad's scheduling side,
I go, oh my gosh, you can be watching the
game on Thanksgiving Day and then at halftime pop this
(12:59):
bad boy on. Yeah, the tight forty five.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
It's the exact right amount of time to be able
to squeeze it into your holiday schedule when the family's
all together for Thanksgiving. So it is, like you said,
it is ideal. In our generation. Now we do get
some perks of some flexibility to say, once everybody's all
hopped up on trip to fan and they're getting ready
to just have their Thanksgiving, settle down, you grab your
(13:22):
hot coco, you snuggle the family close, you get all
the generations together, and you watch your Chuck E Cheese.
And then you do it again in July when you
need a little holiday pick me up, You do whatever
you want.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's magical again. Our guest today Nathan Kress. He is
the voice of Chuck E Cheese and the New Chuck
E Cheese Christmas Special, but you also know him for
many other fun things voice acting, and I got to mention, I, Carly,
you did such a great job of being Freddie on
I Carly, are you anything at all like that character?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You know?
Speaker 7 (13:46):
I gotta say, by the end of the show, I
feel like we were kind of just some weird amalgamation
where like just some megazord of one character that, like
he became me, I became him where at this point
I think early indistinguishable, which was kind of nice because
when we came back around to do the adult version
(14:07):
of the show, it was great because not only is
he still the same guy, but he also became a dad,
and so I just got to lean into the general
embarrassing dorkish dadness that I have absorbed in the last
seven years of my life. So I feel like, luckily
Freddie was just able to evolve right along with me,
(14:27):
and whenever I'm being him, I feel like I'm essentially
just being myself. I love, which is why is such
a fun character to play. I just get to play
off of that and lean into my instincts.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I guess I love that. Nathan, thank you for your
time today.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Thank you so much.

Fun fact for you, Heidi, what's that?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
John?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
The word for the study of pronunciation or huppy, can
be pronounced two different ways and probably a third way. However,
I just said it. The study of pronunciation is more
than one pronunciation. Fun fact for a Heidi, what's that?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
John?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
The tradition of leaving out milk and cookies for Santa
started during the Great Depression as a way to teach
kids to share with others.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh that's cute.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Fun fact for a Heidi.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
What's that? John?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Babies start dreaming even before they're born. How do we
know that? Who knows that? I don't know how we
know that? I do another fun fact for a Heidi's
In nineteen sixty six, Mercedes came out with a different
idea for a car without a steering wheel. Instead, you
would control this nineteen sixty six Mercedes using a joystick.
(18:43):
That seems like a bad idea. Yeah it does, well,
I didn't catch on. We'll do one more fun fact
for you, Heidi.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
What's that? John?

your kid Disney?

their own. I wonder if the company who has a
trademark on that name has anything to say about that.
Do you think that they like.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I don't think that they can say anything.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
But don't saying do you think that they would like that?
Or do do they think they don't?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I think they would like that because what if that
person grows up to be a bad person? Yeah, you know, jail.

All the time.
Speaker 1 (20:24):

a little different than our usual questions because I don't
have that, So I grabbed one here quick because I realized,
oh wow, look what time it is. Time is for
the question of the day. I ask my beautiful bride,
which European nation is said to have invented hot dogs
and hamburgers?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Oh, think about Germany.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, Germany. I didn't realize they invented both. But according
to this Germany invented hot dogs and hamburgers. So that's
why they're called hamburgers from Hamburger.
Speaker 3 (21:26):

(21:53):
with Heidi Small. What do you have for me there, Heidi?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
So I'm gonna continue on with the last wishes things
because some of these are just absolutely fast and say,
we're going to talk about Michael Jackson, okay, and his
funeral took two weeks to plan, held at a twenty
thousand seat Staples Senator Senate Center in Los Angeles, and
they were charging twenty five dollars a person to get in,
(22:18):
even though scalpers were charging as much as ten thousand
dollars each once they got a.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Hold of those two to buy tickets to a future
the funeral.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
The fee was meant to offset expenses such as eleven
thousand dollars for invitations for VIP guests. Okay, sixteen thousand
for flowers.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Wait wait, did the VIP guys have to buy their
tickets too?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Probably not know? They were probably given their twenty five
thousand for the casket, thirty five thousand for his burial clothes,
and one million for the singer's internment. So where he
was buried was a million dollars?
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Did he not have life insurance? Did he not already
have millions of dollars?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Why are they doing?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
They also paid thirty thousand for security, but it wasn't
enough to keep the swell of onlookers and well worsers away.
The Los Angeles Police Department sent three thousand officers at
an expense of one point four million dollars to the
city's taxpayers. Holy cow, isn't that crazy?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
