other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working . folks next up on dennis miller plus one can you believe 25 years seems shorter of a century since the original space chant we get a new one coming out space jam a new legacy and one of the heavy hitters in the voiceover thing also happens to be one of the sweetest guys eric but also i don't know quite know we'll find out from you know who he's voicing of the film but you'll be there they brought in all all the players in the boy so we'll also talk to him about a nice show you has on apple t.v. plus a good message for the kid caught unplugs the internet certainly in a war room tool but strangely it will plug in get out there and i think the stakes that eric bows are right after this dennis miller what's one.

hey folks welcome to venice miller plus one now look at that mug on this guy i can tell that he's a happy a beauty and soul and that's part of the reason that he is let's call him one of the most criminal voice actors on on the planet right now he's the voice of the looney tunes characters bug bugs bunny that marvin the martian is i think that little cat in the censuring had a floats around from if i remember from my youth tweety bird and he voices some of those characters many more for in the upcoming film space jam a new legacy out this summer and he also voices multiple characters i read up on the show and this is why very intriguing i love the series title and it does unfold the means something doug unplugs and is currently streaming on apple t.v. plus and this is our friend eric eric how are you today my friend.

i don't know what i don't know what could have possibly given the fact that i like bugs bunny away i don't know if i'm overdoing it or if there is it's not enough. working over your shoulder at the wallpaper print just let me say this when it comes to bugs bunny impressions i am all yours my friend absolutely. i go back to a time when daffy could get shot with a man licker cart pan over and have business build flip around his head that's how far back i go with it was his team just don't you just don't want to see you know let's see fun or duck season you know you got to you know that it's very it up every now and then and definitely debbie does as a non pandemic friendly voice you're going to. eat away from my mouth you know you've got to keep your gift in there pal it really just is richard dreyfuss with a lisp def you did you know i'm not going to be

a hot meal for some shark tank mr von what we're dealing with here in a perfect eating machine you. and you know it's restores a low animation accident that's no not enough. the thing is even if i weren't doing these voices even if i weren't graced with the luck of doing these voices i would still have this stuff hanging up on my wall and i'm still just a fan as as i was before i was doing these voices as i am now so when you ask me some bugs where i foghorn leghorn i'm in for the pepe le pew for i know that's the end of the world as we know it i'm not going to get into that by but i'd go all these people speedy gonzalez excuse me i didn't run that deep i was a kid and they shared with me and i'm not a trickle to complete all guilty about it every the world could go bad i just dig in the car to you know what i knew i was going to talk to i went back and i've

always i thought i have always been such a fan i'm like i mean what what an amazing niche talent i don't mean michonne a diminutive sense i just mean the nobody could make a run at the castle black because he was so for a fish and at and i don't know if you know this area i was so fascinated to find out that he was born his given name was b l a n k as in blank slate. so the ability to for all these voices if what you're in the is it must be the quintessential vessel the eunuchs i always find him a fascinating. absolutely i mean any just goes to show number one you know bugs turned 80 last year and the fact that we're still talking about bugs 80 years later goes to show how much love heart and soul he poured into not just bugs but the rest of the looney tunes and i mean it takes i'm i'm the 7th guy to voice bugs and i know i won't be the last and just goes to show how many people it takes to

you know to carry that mantle that one guy did him and you know you could look at someone like june for a at like the you know people say the female mel blanc but she was just june for a you know she was the 1st lady of animation voiceover for the ladies and you know both of their work stood the test of time and you know that these cartoons were definitely made in a different time and definitely weren't the idea behind those original shorts weren't to be shown on saturday mornings they were actually throwaway cartoons in those old movie houses you know i'm actually 100 years old these filipino jeans of mine looking young and you know as soon as i turned 101 is like i've become yoda and i just everything just gravity gets the better of me going to pick your suit you know but but you know what i mean it's like being. the cartoons were done in

a different time and i know i know no day's representation matters more than ever but i feel like we have to get to that playing field again where you know especially from a voice actors point of view it never mattered what i looked like right like and suddenly it doesn't and for good reason and you know but i just want to get to a point where we can laugh at ourselves again. where it's not listen eric how can i how can i give credit to contemporary man for a valving if i spend every moment of my day going back to times of your and saying why didn't it exists that it didn't exist that because we've got an accumulation of emotional knowledge of this protestant point in history we're starting to see some of the oversights if i'm to go back in the early 1920 s. and figure out why we didn't have the light bulb go on then i'm missing the point

in the interim 80 to 90 years we've accumulated some say hey this isn't playing anymore it's seems like a silly it seems like a sisyphean battle you're always can go back a decade earlier and fight something i choose not to do it i choose to have fond memories of the cartoons and whatever changes they've had to make to make it mainly will for today i'm more than happy about that you know i have a theory on bugs approaching the century mark it goes back to chaplin kicking the passport guy behind with his leg it goes back to groucho entering low and subversive with the cigar you transplant the carrot i think bugs. holds a mirror up to be essers i think it's a primal surface that bugs does. well yeah i mean he's pretty much of all our bugs was the original social distancing and he lived in a hole in the ground right and he always wore gloves and basically you know he

was the every man and until someone like elmer funder yosemite sam you know really ticked him off that's when bats when it was over that it then you know a collision realized this means wa you know that's when all bets were off and then forget it you should've you should've crossed paths with bugs bunny but yeah i mean that's why i think he was soon. relatable and he's a hero you know he's still like one of those guys that he doesn't always win and he doesn't have the big muscles usually when he flexes it just like the letter you under there and you know he again i think that's why he's so relatable and so lovable and and then you have everyone else around him you know if he's like the jerry seinfeld of the crew then you have people like the george who stands is like daffy duck and then you have the people like you know like the have the extreme characters around him so you know it was very. you have to sit

and wonder what they were thinking of when they were making this stuff back in the forty's like i look at this stuff as reference you know to be better is as an artist like i before i became a voiceover artist i was like in animation as an artist i used to draw. so i can even imagine what they were looking at like smoking unfiltered cigarettes at 11 am wearing 3 piece wool suits. and one leg that's were directed in their backyard. and you think it was like that sim soviet jew make it a living a matter of 1000 voices at some point probably hit a time clock back that. churns a conduit for the trains and millions of kids what an amazing stargate belt blech. yeah this just amazing in again it's if it weren't for mel i would be in like plumbing school right now for sure you know like most americans this is

a. bugs bunny voice it's like i think there's been 7 j. well let's say sean connery george laysan b. and we go over it rua roger moore i think we may have 6 or 7 but it's fascinating is that right there is a lot of bugs that. and get below 7 the w 7 of animation. that's fantastic i never really thought of it that way but wow what a comparable it's quite it's quite a mentally of a so we're talking to eric and we'll talk to him about lonely turns i wanted to do some met a interview here i'm fascinated by the. just by the art of inhabiting these animated creatures so in many ways seems to me more real than some of the people i i watch you walk around in flesh and blood these days and he also voices multiple characters in the animated series. dug plugs and that's got

a cool story behind it that is streaming on apple t.v. plus now listen people put a place card up to hold interviews as they do it when i do these funds and you were with the loveliest. is i don't know enough about you to such a child i only got a glimpse for a 2nd yes the best be that's my that's my son my son ryker and he's definitely either going to be in animation or i've driven him away completely from it he's fine you know he loves he loves cartoons as much as his old man. has his mom is also in animation. and she's an animation director of rhythmical odeon so animation is definitely i think it might be in the future but maybe it's enough that he's not oversaturated that he may have become an accountant in encino somewhere in the future but listen you i used to have a calder mobility hanging over my crib that i'd look at i was always

a trepidations kid i think well that's coming down i can't imagine what it must be like to look up at that space and have you up there what a magical connection for you leading into their career of. well it's funny because you know we'll go to the park or like the play dates and you know again 5 years old will walk up to like you know people that i he may know because sometimes the nanny takes him out and i'm at work and then i finally go and he goes oh hey this is. he goes i'm ranker i'm i'm 5 years old this is my dad he's bugs bunny and like people you know they probably look at that as like oh you probably does the voice for for him you know for fun and all that stuff but he's become like my and my manager you know he's pimping me out on the. jungle gym in parks you know but i think it's so flattering and i you know i did i just i just want to you know. i just when we

do these. we watch the cartoons together because i have to study right i got to study and when i see him enjoy the cartoons that i used to laugh in when i was like his age and just to see it come full circle and then watch the episodes the new ones where i mean it as bugs and he can he could tell that it's me it really is mind blowing it really is you know something else we're talking there and once again he is the voice of the learning tunes characters bug staffing marvin the martian twin uber they've got the big film coming out spaceship 2 a new legacy with le bron i'm sure they have the call at all hands on deck for that we'll see how the voices broke down for the new flick and he does multiple characters in the animated series the plugs that streaming on apple t.v. plus we will talk about both of those projects right after this with our friend eric bows on dennis miller plus one.

our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that merge fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most deluded society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians have morphed into celebrity are 2 ruling parties are in reality one part of the corporate. those who attempt to puncture the. breathless universe of fake news designed to push through the teeth and exploitation would be a little more up for so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we

might as well be mice squeaking against an apple a squeak we must. i'm holland cook i invite you to climb with me above the main stream media mire and from that higher fan to each to glimpse the big picture question more. hey folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one it's nice to know that these well let me say it from a sacred voices from my youth and kids use today have been interested in the such sweet soul i can tell is that just from chad and i'm up for a segment here we got the big film comment at m.j. did this years ago now le bron stepped in and i hope we said good as m.j.

because m.j. really that was it it was a groovy film tell me about the new space jam to my friend. well like you said i mean i'm a child of the ninety's i am 41 i will be turning 42 this year if if you can hear that that's my bones cracking as every breath they take is i think that'll. but i grew up in b. jordan era of the n.b.a. and i watched space jam i can't tell you how many times in theaters and that was also like the looney tunes resurgence it was kind of like we were catching these characters in reruns and. even before the original space jam there were 2 michael jordan bugs bunny they called them hair and air jordan commercials that were super bowl ads and they basically paired michael jordan some ad agency in new

york thought let's put the greatest n.b.a. player in the greatest cartoon character ever made together and see what happens and then the 2nd commercial aired again on super bowl this time with marvin the martian isn't very lovely earth creature. you know and he was the adversary and then 2 years after that is when we had space jam so it's again i was a true fan before before even the movie i mean i own animation cells from from the actual commercial i found some here in burbank and i was just my mind was blown like that these existed and nobody wanted them except me the biggest nerd in california so yes i have been an avid fan of the original and to see it come back like 25 years i think is going to be 25 years this full

25 years. oh to see it you know remade reimagined with arguably. no the greatest player presently le bron james you know you can count the rings you can count the dunks you can i mean the fact that he's still going you know he's he's it doesn't seem like he's getting tired. outside of being a world class like athlete he's a family man and does tremendous amounts of charity work for his hometown of akron ohio and and now he's executive producing this film which i don't know if you saw the trailer it goes over how many millions and millions and millions of i think i was one of the few that was like up at like 5 in the morning looking at my phone and there was a good countdown for this thing i've never seen anything like it and the trailer was just so well received and this might be i think one of the biggest movie i mean

in our in our current situation it might be the biggest money making movie of 2021 so now. people can be you know if people could be shepherded back in to the way things were with such a nice hard project and let me tell you erica you're at 42 as you say and 25 years beyond you and i guarantee of these things are going to start happening to you or you know disco that i just like get into the front door of being an older because imagine spaceship now has a 25 year gallop and then a sequel. unbelievable old enough to drink space jam like space jam could walk into a bar and have a drink to today if it wanted to and it's crazy and to be invited to the table like it's been announced that i'm officially part of the cast but it is not announced

which characters i'm playing and i'll let you know. because there's been so much not rumors but i would say you know like. the news broke last year of me voicing bugs for looney tunes cartoons this one right here and. it happened later in the year which is odd because well looney tunes cartoons premiered the same time covert 19 premiered so no one cared that i was bunny at that point everyone was glued to their the news of coven understandably but after a full year of covert people were like anything but coven and a friend of mine jenna megan back in back in my hometown of toronto ontario canada a. she decided to do a story on me becoming the voice of bugs bunny and bugs bunny is from scarborough where were mike myers i live around the corner from mike myers way which is like

they named the street like a hydro field after mike it's like give him something better than that he deserves better than that but but yeah it was it was kind of crazy the recognition and love from from not just toronto but vancouver you know places like when a pagan i'm sure places that you've toured before and you're in your stand up past . just all. i can tell you from firsthand experience you're an absolute god and flank lot. of people burn and subset your altar up there and listen i know mike he was a perfectionist what he was on the outside also i also mike myers way is a one way. that you're going to go one way hurry or going to do it. or the freeway that's amazing but like yet like the news had hit but then also this news of space jam was happening so people automatically pinned me as the new voice

for bugs which means i'm automatically the new voice in space jam which is not always the case we you know we now live in this era where. reboot and re imaginings used to happen like anywhere between 2 to 4 years of one another now they're happening between 2 and 4 weeks of one another you know you have streaming you have you know your phones you've got like theatre you've got t.v. you've got so many places to show these characters that people just can't get enough of and every time they switch hands. each show runner executive producer or director has a different vision of how the character should be performed and who the character should be performed by. so in this case you know i was good for this one for looney tunes cartoons under pete brown gar the exact producer i met but in le bron's. film he thought jeff bergman who was voicing bugs in the film was the better bugs

for the job and let me tell you something about jeff bergman he he has been he was the 1st guy to voice bugs bunny in 1989 after the passing of mel blanc and i mean if there's anyone if there's anyone that should have done bugs bunny 1st in the future film it's jeff and i'm so happy for him like this is definitely his moment for sure and i've seen parts of the film i've heard of he sounds fantastic and i honestly think like be the fans are going to be completely satisfied with this film. listen i want to get to the other project because i love i love the unplugs us so pivotal in this thing listen it's been a great gift that this generation has been given i want i think back none of this existed there were 3 channels 'd and we had a transistor radio 5.416 nowadays the whole world is available there

and it taketh away and i do think at some point much like a parent feathering a nest what side that the bird to get you've got to get out live on your own you've got on plug from the stuff i think that's the sort of subliminal message behind our not so subliminal behind unplugs plugs right. that's correct it's basically a robot family trying to learn how to be human and in a world where look we're looking at our phones you know they're actually trying to just experience it you know they're definitely using their use of technology to explore but they're really having a better time you know just doing it as opposed to just asking the questions and just kind of being the robots that they are i play bob bot on the show he's that he's the father and i don't know if they gave me this really cool mug.

and i saw this early design and i saw i saw 7 the hair i saw the eyebrows i saw the glasses and all i could think of is this robot looks a lot like eugene levy you know i'm from geraldo i'm a big you know as she t.v. fan i hope you jean doesn't see this and tries to sue me but you know god i love eugene levy he's great so that's kind of like you know aside from being a dad myself and having one of you know the best dad my dad eddie back in toronto and seeing my brother you know he's one of the greatest dads i've got to see raise his 2 kids and i thought boy i hope i'm as good as these guys but if i couldn't have my dad as a dad i would love to adopt eugene levy as my as my t.v. dad so he was basically you know one of those yeah basically the makings for a shoot or for me to kind of do it it's an oh it's a little spooky seeing a filipino guy sound like eugene levy where all the chefs create attention that

he's been getting a huge exemption from the rest of us are ok oh boy yeah so yeah like i wasn't going to look at court he's a good friend divide and i'm sure he'll be ordered by they are watching us i think again if i had to say animated character which you know i would think of those. browsers who can smoke caterpillar. i think i have to go back to alpha sort of wonderland with jade and she will be wheatley honored we're talking to a good toronto ontario boy you're by the way a big austin matthews fan the kids lighten it up as an 8 lights the laughter you know. you're following hockey so are my ass. you know i've left most of my canadian habits behind i'm i'm definitely more of a basketball fan minute i'm a hockey kid but man oh man i learned how to swear by watching my dad watch hockey that's basically the truth. he's the way he was who really didn't see

yeah when he was watching the leafs he was no doubt watching they be qian they're all settler bobby for. our so i've been a leaf and much of my adult life we're talking to the great eric bows of fox and he's got 2 projects and if you're out there and you you want to get your kid with the bigs and what parent doesn't live to see the big smile on their kid's mug he does multiple characters in the animated series doug unplugs listen closely when bobby that stock and that streaming on apple t.v. class right now i haven't had the character breakdown on all this but we sound like we got the right guy doing bugs in space jam a new like you say but they've brought in all the heavy hitters this is 27 yankees a voice over people come in and 25 years later they got to play the soffits 2 beloved the film and i'm sure they'll knock it out of the park a good character in and of himself you couldn't drama as nice as the as thank you

for your time eric dennis miller fox well. at the end of the end that's. going to end on that if you think if i didn't do that then what's the point i mean i'm going to fired. i mean if you can hit me again. if eugene levy were here that be a different story right i mean i don't know but mike seriously mr miller it is it is truly been an honor getting to talk to you today and and i wish for you. health and happiness to you in the family all right my friend we'll talk out on the road thanks retyped brother. all right take care. of.

all the feel we don't. have the experience. and you'll get it i'll be your old. according to just. come along for the ride to. the mainstream media swarming with false hoods riddled with censorship and i'm sure corporate control isn't capable of truly informing its audience it can't rise above the corrupt motives of those calling the shots when you awaken so this fact turns aren't see america where we dare to question your.

politics is a nasty industry and that goes for everything from your local elected office all the way up to the white house but what happens when your family continues to still have to deal with the fallout of their political involvement he went after the candidate has already left office straight ahead we talk about the current investigation into rudy giuliani as well as how the body mr ation is doing now sports also has a new bill that state legislatures are trying to push through it would require the playing of the national anthem at all taxpayer funded venues so is this mandatory patriotism and what does it say about a country where the playing of the national anthem has to be an actual law we're going to discuss.
