I saw the picture of Toby dressed as you in your sepia profile pic (Reverse Acting I believe is what it is called) it is just awesomeness! Then there is the one with a blushing Faust in pink nightwear... I see, it is understandable seeing as someone else drew the art and DA welcomes original work (though lots do fanfic/art).

Yeah the fun is endless, the Pink Nightie Faust (Never anything innocent with Faust IIRC) is an example of this. Ah that is OK then and oh god the way you enjoy to tease people it reminds me of my Dad!

Speaking of Debra, she became the director on episode 19 and I have noticed the difference in performance it sounds more serious which fits the darker turn the series is taking. Tsubasa's dark side in 22 is an example of this I mean it was terribly freaky especially when Tsubasa was lashing out at Yu and the eagle and then later insanely laughing then collapsing (that kind of reminded me of the Joker). David Reale sounded like he was channeling Carman Melville's Ryuga for Dark Tsubasa which makes sense seeing as Ryuga kind of gave Tsubasa his dark side, I even thought that maybe Carman was playing Dark Tsubasa for a moment.

Hmmm now after reading what you said I had an image that Ziggurat probably turned Toby into Faust while Toby was unconcious which would be diabolical and nightmare/paranoia fuel inducing. It also seems like it will take away Toby's emotions too and it is also unusual (in a predominantly kid's show) to see that Toby's hair has pretty much become permenantly white/grey even after being Faust, it is kinda symbolic of the "Toby will never be the same again"/"Toby has lost his innocence" nature.

Indeed it is awesome of Zeo to take that much extremes to save Toby but hey that is bromance for you!

Your friend sounds similar to me in the "excited over anything and everything" aspect. Did you tell your friend that he helped you create Toby? If so how did he react? I remember how in your demo your some commercial voices of yours sounded very keen and like what an average Beyblade character sounds like (a hyped teen male). Your real voice is defo more subdued in comparison.

I will do! I have looked on the Sky guide and Metal Masters has stopped airing in the UK for the time being with "Dark Eagle" being the last episode aired and replaced by Matt Hatter Chronicles (not too pleased about it) so I am gonna have to watch the episodes somewhere else.

Collecting information and ideas is always good and collecting scripts sound awesome. Maybe I could shed some light on collections since I myself am a collectomaniac. For me I collect stuff that mean something to me somehow (sentimental value) and in some cases want to keep them to share with the next generation. It is sometimes like "If I like something very much I get stuff that is relevant to it".

I am notorious for collecting Sonic the Hedgehog merch as I love almost anything with Sonic on it, for example at Xmas my parents for example got me a Sonic money bank they found while shopping, my sister got me Sonic pyjamas and Sonic shorts, my Grandparents gave me Sonic wrapping paper and my companion got me 3 figures of Sonic, Tails and Classic!Amy. Basically collecting is an optional part of being a fan but not everyone does it...I might take a pic of my Sonic collection sometime.

I also have quite a few other collections TY cat beanies, plushies, crystals, Canadian related stuff, retro games, Beyblades (from the old series I do mean to get a newer Beyblade sometime) and some Happy Meal toys that I had as a kid and found them again years later...

Thanks, I am more of a platformer game fan but have played RPGs too.

"THE VOICE OF GOD!" indeed listening to Earl's voice it has a very interesting and rich booming texture to it and it is nice to listen to. What is your fave accent from him? It does sound like a blast, I watched the blog after listening to Earl you guys really look as if you are chilling/hanging out as friends same with the vid of you and Mac.

Understandable as like you say about voice actors, it is the same about fans some are pretty awesome and others are terrible even downright rotten (for a good example of this look no further than the Sonic fanbase) it is pretty sweet that some think it is awesome.

Whatever happens in 5 years the fact that you and Mac are doing this all now is tbh very brave and very kind I mean you both must have made the day of many a Beyblade fan by answering questions/talking/posting vids/commenting on fanart.

It is also refreshing you see fans as incredible and also that you seem to enjoy mixing with the fans and being a part of our side of the fence as it were. You don't see that in some VAs so thank you.

That makes sense it just makes me think why did Nelvana change Dora to Lera in the first place, ah well.

You are welcome and thank you too, I am looking forward to seeing Toby/Faust and Zeo so I can re-read the posts with both your voices in my head!



They are hosting a World Championship? I don't think it would be a problem if you guys crashed the party as at least two VAs (Daniel DeSanto being one of them which he did for a Beyblade TV special) attended the Championships when they were hosted back in 2004. It would be awesome if you two battled with each other! Character voices and all!

Hey, awesome! Did you have fun while doing it? I used to LOVE Sesame Street when I was growing up. My favourite character was always Mr. Snuffaluffagus

Well, there are always a few lines that actors don't like. None come screaming out to mind right now. My friends would make fun of me during my practice for the line "Aim for number 1" and how I said it over and over again.
The cool thing about Deb is that when a line doesn't really work, she changes it or lets us change it. She listens to our suggestions and if it makes sense and fits then she will sometimes roll with it. Even when not though, I don't mind most of the lines. Some of them don't make sense to me when I'm just reading the script. Then I see the action on screen and go, "Ooooh that's why… okay… cool."

I love that I was brainwashed by Dr. Ziggurat! It allowed for a huge growth in character, not to mention that Mac's character sacrificed a lot for Toby too. I also really love the fact that I had an entire saga of dealing with it. Needing them to keep trying to save my mind, to bring me back. It was great fun.

It is our absolute pleasure to be answering questions. We love you fans and are super stoked to even be here.

IF you are in Canada the episode airs THIS coming Saturday (March 17th) at 11:30 on YTV. I am in this episode too and a few more to come.

I hope you like it.

Heh. It actually would've been harder for me to play a Canadian character. Canadian speech pattens always felt a bit odd to me, and I'm frequently asked if I'm from New York. I kinda consider myself more American, because I go there so often, most of my friends live there, and I plan to move to California eventually.

I don't mind the pink nightie faust picture, it amuses me quite a bit… and OF COURSE I LOVE TO TEASE PEOPLE! IT IS AWESOME! (Tell your dad I approve of his style… heh)

I'm glad you approve of Deb's change in direction.
Unfortunately I don't know too much about the show, although I am really starting to read about it and follow what you guys are saying. It's quite enjoyable.

I'm glad that you had that image because that's how I see it happening. I don't think Toby had ANY say in what happened to him. It is very dark, especially for a kid's show. Honestly, I really like the fact that his hair is permanently different. My voice is also MUCH darker and more gritty after becoming a good guy again. It was originally suggested to me that he just return to the early Keener voice and I suggested against it. I said, "Changes like that don't just go away. He's healthy now, he's a good guy again, but vocal chords don't just flip back, plus he looks older and his hair is still white." That was received with a, "Hey, good point".

I love the bromance between Zeo and Toby… (Especially how much I get to tease over it.)

It's good to be excited over anything and everything. *Thumbs up*
I did tell my friend, and amusingly he was NOT overly excited.
It's funny that some of my commercials and Toby are so "Woo and hyped" and my real voices are more subdued. In real life I can be a crazy hyperactive nut job. Although, I do really like just kicking back.

I'm sure the episodes will be "put" somewhere. I hope you find them. As I said above, this coming Saturday our first episode airs on YTV in Canada.

It's good to collect things if you enjoy it. I LOVE Sonic, always did. I remember when Sega Genesis came out with the first Sonic game. My sister got it for her birthday and I was ALL over it!
I loved BOTH of the shows in the 90s, yes even the super goofy one.
I guess for a short period I was into collecting Star Wars stuff… but I never really got into it. I got a few toys, some autographs… I just got bored. I guess it's what happens when you have ADH… HEY let's see what else you wrote….

Ooh, what platformer games are your favourites?

My favourite accent that Earl does is his Yiddish accent. It's… just… so…. Earl. Heh. You'd have to know him. He's a very old friend of my family, so I just… yeah. Heh.
Mac and I have become friends, all thanks to this forum. We are just chilling and hanging out during that video.

All people can be nice or rotten. It's all a roll of the dice.

If I have made the day of ANY fan, then that is just AWESOME!
I love to make people smile!

The fans ARE incredible. I'm SUPER looking forward to Anime North where I'll hopefully be immersed deeper into the fan base. I especially enjoy talking to you guys and gals on THIS forum. This is my introduction to the anime world and to the anime fan base. You guys have all been SUPER awesome.

So Thank YOU guys!

Looking forward to your commentary on our voices. Heh.


Also, so that championship, we are NOT to crash it. Which is okay, there are lots of security issues and we suggested it so last minute. Completely understandable. We might have to just get a Twisted Tempo and a Flame Byxis and borrow some kid's arena and have a battle on Youtube for you guys. Heheh.
(I should probably mention that to Mac when I see him on Tuesday.)


Thanks for all the questions and comments as always. You rock!

(Mar. 16, 2012  6:09 AM)Zeo Mac Wrote: Very sorry I keep falling behind, all! I've there's anything I missed that wasn't already answered by Toby, don't hesitate to ask it again.

Early on, I actually reeeeally felt like quitting my very first role -- Lab Rat in Grossology. I was 17 at the time. I expected my co-stars to be even younger, but it turned out that everyone else in the cast was at least 10 years OLDER than me. I was terrified, I felt out of place, and just didn't think I could do it. After a few episodes, I was even outright told by someone on staff that I *needed* to do better, which hurt even more.

I'm really glad I stuck with in the end. I was so blessed to have a lot of support, and Jessie Thomson is nothing short of a phenomenal voice director. I learned so much about acting, and about myself through that role, and let that be a lesson to everyone, to never easily give up on your dreams.

That a good question, though I can't say I've ever had the chance to talk to any of the other cast members enough to bring up the subject. I'm not sure if any of them even know we're on here.

I hope there will be more art/fic of Zeo and Toby/Faust to see in the future. (I told Dad and he gave a thumbs up in response)

Great to hear that pic amuses you though Faust doesn't look too amused himself!

If you and Mac ever have any Beyblade questions just ask us since we all have been asking you both questions it is only fair really, but reading the forum and following what we are saying works too for learning about Beyblade. Beyblade is quite enjoyable and as my friend Poppy from DA says "Beyblade brings people together" it just seems to have that quality about it that makes it stand out.

Since my last reply I did view the scene (in Japanese) where Toby is in the Arrange system and I was almost right it seems he was put in there while unconcious. He looked rather frightened too when he woke up in there, to be honest we all would be if we woke up in a strange place about to be turned into goodness knows what without our consent. It seems that the Arrange system forces the subject to sorta grow up quickly (I do keep thinking "Is that legal?") and as we all know once someone grows up they cannot go back. I also wonder how much of the process does poor Toby remember after becoming good and whether it causes nightmares. In a way the hair colour, growth and vocal changes are somewhat like permanent scars for Toby but ones that show that he is a survivor. It is awesome to hear that the actors get a bit of a say in how to portray their characters in Metal Masters.

Thanks I guess it is. Well that was one thing he didn't get excited about, he probably saw the commercials and thought "Am I really like that?". Maybe different when he sees the episodes that is if he sees the episodes. What was done first commercials or episodes? It is curious that Commercial!Toby was done more hyper than in the series. I don't think anyone can be hyper all the time as it is nice to kick back and be lazy sometimes also to be quiet and reflect on things.

I used to watch my family play Sonic then started playing it starting with the Special Stages and two-player on the second game, the music and sounds along with the colourful world drew me in. I watched the four Sonic shows and the goofier one was one of my faves (the other being Sonic X) as it was somewhat closer to the game. So you kind of claimed your sister's birthday present in a way, not sure. Sonic has been and will always be a part of my life.

So you had one collection for some time, some people like collecting others don't. It can run in the family I think. You have ADHD? Respect to you as you are a good example for others out there with ADHD.

Spyro 2 and 3, Crash Bandicoot series on PS1, Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 and the short-lived Croc series, games with a colourful world/fantasy setting and lovely music to go with it is what I tend to like. Since about October my companion and I have been working together to beat Spyro 2 (I introduced him to it and Crash as well, Sonic is next...) currently we are in the last homeworld. I completed it almost myself years ago my bro smashed one of the metal gem boxes though so didn't quite complete it.

I am also a fan of beat-em-up games particularly Tekken and I like some racing games too (Super Hang On and Sega Monaco for the Mega Drive/Genesis for example)

So you have known Earl for most of your life, I do think I must have heard his voice somewhere before but can't remember what. I tried to look for his Yiddish accent on his site but I couldn't find it. Did Earl play a part in your career at some point? Like advising you or or inspiring you.

The best thing about this Q and A is the fact that you and Mac are now friends like your characters, you can see it in the vid how cool you are with each other... some may say you are more like brothers (sorta quoted from ep 34).

You two made someone run around in circles all giddy what does that say to you?

Thanks! You are welcome and well I am pleased that you are enjoying the Beyblade/anime fandom experience as well as talking to us all so far. Great to hear you are attending Anime North this year and hope it too is enjoyable for you.

Commentary is at the bottom.

Or you guys could get Fox and Lyra maybe...whichever you both prefer really (I know for you Benji it is Tempo).

You are welcome and thanks! You rock as well!


__________________________________________________________________________

May I ask you both 2 questions please?
1.What are your thoughts on the new Beyblade series (Zero-G) and the mini-series BeyWheels?

2. I heard you both were on YTV how did it go?

Riiiight onto commentary now! After braving through the Team Garcias episodes without destroying anything I watched the episode and I am very impressed by your acting chops guys, usually anime dialogue from first timers (and even from some experienced VAs) can sound awkwardly delivered but you two first timers in anime sound natural in your roles. Remember when I said Masamune is one of the better performances in Metal Masters? Well pretty much the Team Dungeon trio are probably the some of the best perfomances in Metal Masters! Your voices fit the characters nicely too, so as us English peeps say give yourselves a pat on the back!

Oh and Karl was that an Enzo impression I see there?

I've been learning a lot about Beyblade just from the questions and comments on here. If I have anything super pressing, I'll be sure to inquire here. I, apparently, will be watching every episode I am in, so I should learn quite a bit more.
I can see that Beyblade could bring people together. It's a pretty good show.

I too would be TERRIFIED if I regained consciousness in a place like that. Also, I agree, it's probably not very legal… especially the scientific experiments.
I'm pretty sure Toby remembers EVERYTHING about being Faust. Probably not a lot about the in between stuff, considering he was unconscious for a chunk of it, but the stuff while he was awake and on autopilot, definitely. I'm certain he has nightmares… and I think it's what fuels some of his character now. It's nice that he has moved on… but if we talk about reading deeper into the character, I imagine he wakes up screaming every so often.
The hair, voice, and physical changes definitely are scars that will never heal, but I like your take that it shows that he is a survivor.
It's a little dark, but I love my characters that way.
I love that I did get to have a little say in my vocal development.

The commercial voice was made a few years back. On commercials I tend to be asked to be more hyper and insane… after all, they're often only 30 seconds long. Toby of course has to have a full range of emotions.
I'm not often quiet, but even I have to kick back sometimes.

Glad you enjoy Sonic so much. It's a great series and the games kick butt.
I used to LOVE "Sonic Sez/says" at the end. I figured out at a young age that people were DOING these things… and that's why Sonic had to warn people. For example, climbing into a washing machine / dryer. I remember being a kid and saying, "Are lots of people climbing into those? Woooow".
I didn't really clam her present because she played it a lot too. Though I did love it. Oh Genesis, what an awesome system.

Oh I definitely have ADHD. Over time I learned how to focus more readily. Sometimes I still need a kick in the butt to remember what I'm doing, and my stories and conversations can often go on MANY different tangents. Oftentimes I find myself deleting things that I was going to post on the forum just because I was going off on a tangent and telling a story that has NOTHING to do with anything here.

Ah, I like colourful fantasy games too. Makes perfect sense. Of course as I write this now I'm hearing the Donkey Kong theme in my head.
Oooh, have fun playing Spyro 2! Which Sonic game is next!?

I never really got into fighting games or driving games… heh, but I'm glad you enjoy them. Tekken is pretty fun though.

Earl does do his yiddish accent for a few seconds on the Tarpit demo on the Dark Comedy site, if I'm not mistaken. Earl has had a part in my career, in that he does inspire me. I was already into it by the time he and I spoke about it, but he definitely supported me, which was much needed as I was starting out.

Heh, I truly enjoy the fact that Mac and I are friends now. He's a really awesome guy. (Nice line drop from our episode ;-) )

*Runs around in circles giddy too* That's what it says to me. Heh.

I hope Anime North kicks BUTT this year. Mac and I are going to be doing a lot of it together so it should be AWESOME.

I hope I get to pick up a Lyra eventually. We'll have a battle one day. One day… MUAHAHAHAHA!

ALWAYS allowed to ask more questions!
1. I don't know much about them. If I get a chance to audition, AWESOME! If not, then I wish them all the best. I don't know how involved I could be in them if I'm not on the show. Not because I wouldn't be interested, but more because I barely have time to get to know the show in which I already perform.

2. We were on YTV for Beyblade, not for interviews or anything… when that does EVENTUALLY happen, we'll be sure to tell you all about those.

Thank you VERY much for the comments and commentary.
I really appreciate that you think my lines were delivered well.
I hope the next episode is as good. I have quite a bit more lines, and there is a story behind it. I'm a little worried it won't sound as good, but I'm hoping you enjoy them just as much.

Thank you kindly for the words of encouragement and as always for the questions!
Keep on asking and talking. It's always a pleasure!

I wonder why they would skip Zeo's anime debut, it introduced the Dungeon Gym and one of the most epicly voiced characters in the series.

Reminds me of when I *aged 14-nearly-15 and very naive and innocent for that age* found a lemon on Digimon Tamers involving Takato's parents, coming across characters talking dirty in fanfic as well as quite a few yaoi fanfic (with the original Beyblade characters) and googling Hentai wondering what the heck it meant after seeing the words "Hentai-free" on various fansites clicking one of the results and IIRC screamed in horror...at school no less.
Seriously I hope you find all decent (maybe some weird) fanwork and no Rule 34 stuff, it is great to hear you think the fanart is awesome and hope you get see some decent fanfic too.

I don't think you had much of a choice with your friends Adam and Mac pretty much making you watch the episodes and from what you have said about yourself, Mac and Cameron it does indeed prove the getting people together power that Beyblade has. Funny since there is heavy emphasis on friendship in the Beyblade series.

The only thing is in Beyblade you never really see any villain get arrested per se well at least not yet. It is also very disturbing that the Arrange system kinda induces growing up on someone. Yowzers poor Toby but if it what fuels his character in Metal Fury and that he has moved on then he is a very strong young man coz he went through some carp from the look of things. The thing is while he is probably haunted by memories of Faust and wakes up screaming every so often he also has two best friends (Masamune and Zeo) who think the world of him and will help support him through his night terrors so he'll move on nicely (the first sign that he has moved on is probably the fact he got his hair cut short), I also would think Masmune, Zeo and Coach Steel are maybe a little protective of Toby post-Faust. I asked as usually brainwashed characters have little to no recollection of what they did, so it seems Toby could be an exception (though he forgot himself as Faust). It is interesting to look deeper into things.

Another thing is where are Zeo's and Toby's parents in all of this? Are they aware of what happened to their sons? It seems Coach Steel as tough as he is he is also a father figure to the trio.

A few years back? They did the commercials a few years back? Wow have to say that is crazy prepared. So I am guessing you maybe had a different director for the commercials?
The older games were better I tend to find, however the Adventure series and Unleashed were very fun also. What Sonic warned you about were very very present dangers and even what to do when someone does something to you they shouldn't (the infamous Sonic Sez) though I don't think I paid attention to Sonic Sez when I saw the show as a kid. It surprises everyone what people do tbh.

It was called the Mega Drive here (it's original name in Japan) and was changed for legal reasons to Genesis in North America which didn't make sense to me as Genesis is the name of a band. But yes it is a classic with some awesome games and loads of childhood memories.

I have ADHD which goes hand in hand with my ASD. I get distracted easy, am rather hyper most of the time, will talk all day quickly going from one subject to another if allowed and can be a fidget. I hope to get better at focusing someday among other things, knowing what you have done for yourself despite the ADHD does show I can get to where I want to eventually.

Well despite saying Sonic was next I ended up introducing him to Donkey Kong Country when I saw him on Tuesday and he seemed to get the knack of it we got upto Milestone Mayhem so far. We also spent much of Tuesday stealing the catchphrase of "Aim for number one!" in unison...sorry Benji, Mac and Cameron ^^;

Thanks we both love playing Spyro 2 (beautiful and relaxing game), I have to remember not to take over though like I did in Skelos Badlands. He intruduces me to some games he plays too.

We have played two player on Sonic games but not quite a working together one player Sonic game. When we do it will start with Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive of course!
When I was younger I would most of the time play as Nina, but over the years I used other characters.

That would be when Earl was talking about Tarpit's issues right? Does he play Tarpit with the accent? Good to hear he supported you when you started out, I imagine he is like a mentor.

That is just Real Life Imitates Art at it's awesome. (Thanks I could not resist especially with the ep on my mind)

When I am taking in what you and Mac write here sometimes I put the laptop down and pace up and down for a bit.

Anime North is going to be in about a month I believe (well over a month since it is May). I'd say from what I read from other's con reports that Anime North tends to be awesome.
Well you do have Tempo now so you have at least one of your character's Beys, and when you guys do battle it will be epic!

The new series (Zero-G) is set years after Metal Fury and still takes place in Gingka's universe and Kenta has appeared in the manga so there may be a chance we may see the Dungeon trio (nickname for Zeo, Toby and Masamune collectively) again. Understandable as you are very busy.

I hope you two do get to be interviewed on YTV, that would be sweet!

You are very welcome and thanks very much also for answering and commenting.

Episode 35 was very good and shed some light onto the Dungeon trio and why Masamune is as determined as he is to be number one.

It was interesting to hear a range of emotions coming from Toby from his tired but still smiling to his excitement to his anger to his calm and collected side as the in-betweener of Zeo and Masamune.

We also got to see where the tougher and confident Zeo started out, as an enthusiastic and friendly but not a very confident blader and it makes me wonder my goodness what happened to Zeo to make him the Zeo that we were introduced to?

You both have a very good range of emotions and characteristics with Zeo and Toby and I do feel they are not one dimensional characters but that there are layers to them both.

A question would be Toby's illness is unknown within the show, but from your perspective do you know what his illness is?

To be quite honest, I don't think it will bug me much. More fodder for the tease machine. Heheh.
Awww…. you were so innocent and naive… and the internet ruined it. *Shakes fist at internet*
I'm happy to see all fan art / fan fic. I'm not going to SEARCH for it, but if it's presented I'll shrug it off of me. These things can't shock me.

I actually have begun to learn to appreciate listening to myself. Mac and I had a chat with a group of our voice actor friends, and we all watched the latest episode together. We discussed what went on in the studio, where my voice needed work and where I did well. It's good to get constructive feedback. I'll get used to it fully… eventually.

It's strange that there are no arrests, but I guess that's par for the course on some anime's.
Also, you're right, the friendship with Masamune and Zeo is definitely what keeps Toby going. One of the reasons I strongly believe that Toby remembers being faust is that… well… you know… his back was physically modified so that he could control the whole machine setup thing. Those tentacles jam right into his back. BEST case scenario where they've repaired his back and removed the computer interface, he would STILL have massive scars there for life. I don't believe a day goes by where Toby doesn't think about being Faust, and I think you're right that the boys are very protective of him now… but not too much that they don't still challenge him and let him do his own thing.

Coach Steel is definitely a father figure. When I picture Toby's home life I picture him living with an older sibling after his parents disappeared / died.
I think of it that way because I read into tragic characters, it makes things more interesting. It explains some things with him. His raw determination, why even at the age of 10 he is so headstrong and ready to go. As much as I love Zeo's "Make them run home to their mommies" line… Toby would never say that.
I also think his older sister WAS there. Just… not on screen. She would be desperate to keep her brother alive, so she'd agree to anything, not knowing the evil undertones of it all.
"We have a secret super special treatment that will not only save your brother, but he'll be able to walk again."
Done deal.

The commercials I mean were the ones where I invented the voice, not commercials for Beyblade. I've had many different directors for commercials.

I love the oooold Sonic games, but I REALLY love Sonic Adventure 2 for Dreamcast. (NOT FOR GAMECUBE! )
The Sonic Sez/Says thing was amazing. There was one when he's being attacked by a slew of bad guys and Tails asks if he should call 911 and Sonic said not to call, because you should only call when you're REALLY in danger.
I have one issue with that…. If I'm being mugged by 10 people… never mind if they were crazy evil robots… I'm calling 911. Someone could take away from that little short that if you are being attacked, it's not worth it to call 911.
People do stupid things… it's… just… no comment.

Yes, but Genesis is a band from the UK. Legal issues are straaaaaange.
I love the older systems. I still sand by my opinion the SNES was and is the greatest system of all time.

Well, I'm glad that I can inspire a fellow ADHDer. It took years and lots of trial and error to figure out what I should / could do for… well… life. I was never put on any medication and just had to figure it out for myself. You definitely CAN do it. I have faith.

Well, DK is ALSO awesome, and you can have "Aim for Number one" as long as you remember us when you say it. Heh.

Enjoy all the games you play together! Heheh, and play nicely!

Yes, that would be it a little bit. He doesn't play Tarpit with an accent, just his deep foreboding voice. He's a wonderful man, not exactly a mentor, but definitely had a hand in crafting my attitude to the business.

Well, I'm glad you like what we write, (I hope that's what the pacing is. When I'm taking stuff in, especially on the phone, I tend to pace too)

Anime North is great and I'm really looking forward to it. I used to work there so it'll be interesting to be on the other side.
I'm going to see if I can grab a Flame Byxis for Mac… for an EPIC BATTLE (that we'll film).

No idea if we'll appear in the new series. It'll be nice if we do, but I doubt it. Doesn't matter much, I love what we've had so far and I'm excited for the next projects that will come along.

A YTV interview would be amazing, I'm not expecting it any time soon… but we never know! Heheh.

I like episode 35 a lot. I'm not going to share TOO much about it, but it was a difficult one to record. I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

I presume that Zeo has a ton of stuff going on, and of course that's for Mac to answer.

Happy to hear you think we have layers to our characters. I put in a lot of thought to them, and I'm glad it shines through.

Thanks for all the questions as per usual!

Okay, to both of you (and anyone else wondering). I actually thought about it for a VERY long time. My friend Adam insists that it's… well, something ridiculous.

I think it's probably something that has muscular dystrophy as a side symptom or maybe some sort of necrotizing fasciitis. I think in the long run it's something that doctors have never seen before and thus would be named after Toby. Whatever it is, I've imagined out all of his symptoms and what's going through his head on a regular basis. (I can go into more detail if you want)
I hope that satisfies your curiosity.

Thanks for the questions everyone, keep them coming as always.
I hope you guys are still enjoying our performances and the show in general.
Be well, and happy holidays today / tomorrow / Sunday for those of you who celebrate Passover or Easter.

All the best!
