When I, I don't know that people know this, but I did, years ago, I did the
movie Gremlins, and I'm gizmo.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's gizmo.
Yeah.
But, you know, I had to audition to get that, and I auditioned in a building in
Burbank, not unlike this building here.
And I didn't know that it was a medical building, and the casting person had
rented an office in the medical building.
So I was going for the audition for Gremlins, and it wasn't just me to play gizmos,
all the.
All that.
But as I went up the stairs, all I heard is a woman's voice going, oh, oh, oh,
oh, that's all I heard.
And I thought, oh, she's going to get the part.
And then I, it was, so it was right next to an OBGYN, some gynecologist, and
she was having a procedure.
I assumed she was having a procedure.
Yeah.
Maybe she wasn't.
Maybe she's just a complainer sitting in the waiting room.
Yeah.
Yelling, ow.
Yeah.
But, and then I got the part.
I went into the wrong office.
I went into the gynecology.
No, I did.
But then they said, no, next door, because I was the only guy.
I went, you're going, I can beat that.
She's going, ow.
And I'm going, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Did you, did you practice that voice before you went, or did you kind of just
go on the fly?
No, I didn't practice.
That's the only voice I do.
You know, people, I think we talked about that before.
I do.
I was, it was part of my act.
I was 11 years old and I was at a birthday party and I was choking on a piece
of cake.
And you know when it goes halfway down your throat and then you can't dislodge
it?
I think there was something in the, you know, when someone's halfway, I was
going, help me, help me, help me.
And they were doing that.
They were laughing.
I'm saying, help me.
And you're laughing.
Everybody at the party was laughing.
I'm going, I can't breathe.
There's something halfway down my throat.
Please help me.
And, and they were laughing.
Now that sounds like what I heard through the wall with the pornography group,
actually, that exact quote.
Really?
That exact, help me.
There's something halfway down my throat.
And then, and then I dislodged it and, and, but I, when I went home, my memory
was the trauma of almost choking and dying.
But more importantly, what stood over that was everybody at the party was
looking at me and laughing at me.
And I thought, oh my God, if I could just bring myself this close to death each
and every night, I could be an entertainer.
I could be in show business.
I could, so I, I practiced without my, uh, without cake.
So, you know, you could do it.
It's just like you take the nipple of a balloon.
You know, when you blow up a balloon and you stretch a balloon.
So that's not my voice.
I'm not, I'm not talking like, no, it's not doing that.
If you close your throat, try it.
This is a really bad ASMR.
But it's good.
The weird thing is there's some Star Trek fan out there probably getting erect
right now.
So I, I, now I, I, I did that voice and that became part of my act.
And then, uh, I did, I got a job on a show called Muppet Babies.
Oh yeah.
And I'm Skeeter.
I'm Skeeter.
I'm, oh, Skeeter is that.
Yeah.
You know, is Skeeter's kind of the ones he's, he, yeah, he more, he multi-gender.
He's everything kind of.
Oh, what is his pronoun?
Oh, I think his pronouns is just everything.
I'll go moss, you know, it's like everything in Spanish, I think.
Wouldn't Skeeter didn't have a gender, did he?
I, I don't know.
Yeah.
So that was that, that was the voice.
I don't know.
I don't know what I had.
My pronoun is everybody.
There you go.
Yeah.
Okay.
Skeeter.
So, uh, that was Skeeter.
And then a couple of years later, I got Bobby's World.
Yeah.
And I decided to use the Skeeter voice.
So I did this.
So it's Skeeter, this is Bobby.
Yeah.
And then years later, when I saw my gynecologist, I got, uh, uh, Gizmo and I
did.
So they're all the same.
A whole array of voices.
I did other voices on the, uh, on Muppet Babies.
Yeah.
I was also Bunsen Honeydew.
Oh, I don't remember that.
Will you bring up Bunsen, please?
Bunsen Honeydew.
If you don't listen to me, I'll make your sister disappear.
Dang.
It was that.
And I was, uh, Animal.
Go, bye-bye.
Oh, that's cool, bro.
Go, bye-bye.
And then I, I, I, I was busy and I was on the road.
And then, uh, who took over for me on that?
I think it was Dave Coulier.
You guys almost look the same now.
It does look like me.
I didn't realize that.
Bunsen Honeydew looks exactly like me.
Oh, shit.
That is so fucking great.
I never.
You might have to rebirth.
You might tell me.
I gotta do.
Oh, my God.
It's me.
Look at me.
How did it, it saw the future.
The puppet is designed.
You gotta see Bunsen Honeydew.
They could see this.
They're watching this on YouTube, right?
Art imitates life, man.
That's the fact.
Oh, my God.
I didn't know.
Holy.
It's like my new headshot.
There you are.
That is gonna be my new headshot.
Rich is in there.
Rich, it works with me.
We gotta just give out Bunsen Honeydew.
Oh, my God.
Look at all of them.
What are you getting?
What is all that?
And there's merchandise.
Oh, that's Google.
Let me just look where he went to the beach so you can see him tanned up a
little bit there
in some of those.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I was a good-looking, I had no idea that I was voicing my own future.
And that's me.
Oh, yeah.
There's nothing to me in my future.
Well, I think that's not baby Bunsen.
Was there a baby Bunsen?
It's Muppet, go Muppet babies Bunsen Honeydew.
That's the regular Bunsen Honeydew.
I was a Muppet baby.
There I am.
Oh, shit.
Even more.
Even more like me.
And there he is with an eight ball, too.
And that was obviously...
And look at the glasses.
I have my own...
An eight ball.
You're going through a tough time, bro.
I am.
You know, we talked about it before we went on the air.
Mental health.
I've been dealing with it from the beginning.
And look, there's mentioning...
There's my new glass line.
I had...
He was...
You know, I got into the glasses business.
Did you eyeless?
Just people are going totally eyeless now?
Well, that's why he needs glasses.
He has no eyes.
He has no eyes.
He only uses those for...
I've never seen somebody wear glasses without actual eyeballs.
Until you, bro.
I was a baby.
That's me.
That's who you were.
Well, because I didn't want to be called four eyes.
I wanted to be called no eyes.
No eyes.
I like that.
Yeah.
But this is...
I started also predicting the future.
So I'm doing that character.
I had no idea that one day I would shave my head.
There is one hair on there, isn't there?
At the top.
Is there one hair?
There seems to be like a little...
Oh, yes.
Do you see that?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
If you pull that, it undoes my belly button.
Yes.
And then I didn't know I'd have my own line of glasses.
I had my own line of glasses.
That'd be so funny.
What if you pull that and your belly button just came on top?
Haven't you ever done that?
Have you ever cleaned the lint?
Oh, yeah.
There's...
I get a lot of lint in my belly button and sometimes when I start pulling the lint
out, I unravel
my underpants.
That's insane, man.
What?
You've never done that?
Hope you enjoyed that video and you can watch another and you can watch this
one, you can watch
this one.
Different options, different choices.
Some guy just brings you one option, not this guy.
Two options.
Watch one.
This one or this one.
