00:00Ah!

00:07Ah!

00:10Ah!
00:11Ah!
00:12Ah!
00:13Ah!
00:14Ah!
00:15Ah!
00:16Ah!
00:17Ah!
00:18Nice of you to drop in.
00:19Did you get the compass?
00:20Does the Pope shit in my mouth?
00:22Ew, Rip.
00:23Does he?
00:24Uh...
00:25No!
00:26This show sucks!
00:32Doesn't it at least feel good to all be back together again?
00:35Not if we have to watch this shit.
00:37It gets good, briefly, and then really bad again for the whole rest of it.
00:41Go!
00:42Dig Man's a lot of fun.
00:43I mean, because it's so irreverent, but because it sort of calls people out on their BS.
00:48Every single one of the characters.
00:51You know, actually, Mitra, if you could sort of first talk about, you know, Saltine in
00:57that way, because she's the straight shooter, and yet she gets most of the flack.
01:01So you have to sort of play that sort of comedy of it.
01:04Can you talk about sort of that voice and that sort of psychology of her?
01:08Totally.
01:09And I think what's so fun about Saltine is that she's kind of positioned as this straight
01:14shooter, but then also is an incredibly bizarre character in her own right, making all of
01:19her inventions that sort of don't serve any real practical purpose or anything.
01:24I think that's what's so fun about this show, is like there's really, like every character
01:28has their own sort of bizarre behavior.
01:31But then this very rich interior world, like Swooper, played by Tim Robinson, is actually
01:36very sweet and romantic.
01:38And Saltine is like ambitious, but impractical.
01:41And I think all of those contrasts in these characters make for a really fun show and a
01:46really fun role, at least for me as Saltine.
01:49Rip Tickman.
01:50The man once known as the greatest archaeologist in the world.
01:56But has it ever occurred to you that instead of digging up history, you may soon become
02:03it?
02:04Let's just say that tonight, death isn't in the cards.
02:09All right, let me just pop on my readers and see what I got here.
02:13Looks like we are back on our bullshit!
02:18On the day I was born, the nurses all get the ground, cause I'm bad to the bone.
02:31Let's go!
02:32For you, Tim, you know, with Quail, because he's obviously coming from a completely different
02:36approach.
02:37Mm-hmm.
02:38Yeah, I mean, when I first got involved, I tried to make Quail, I tried to base what I
02:45was doing on what I saw in the world.
02:48Billionaires who are eccentric and sort of nuts, can do anything they want.
02:52And so that was easy sort of pickings, you know?
02:58We did a couple of passes reading it.
03:01And then Andy and Neil both wanted me to be more like myself, which is a lot like the
03:07same sort of casting they did with Brooklyn Nine-Nine with me.
03:11Which was they wanted somebody that had done something absolutely horrible, but they wanted
03:17it to be played by somebody that people love.
03:20Mm-hmm.
03:21And you couldn't see this guy being, you know, a cannibal.
03:24Or you couldn't see this billionaire actually trying to bring people back from the dead.
03:28You know what I mean?
03:29So they wanted me to sort of be more myself in order to make the change in the character
03:39more of a surprise.
03:40And I thought that was a good choice.
03:42You sure you can do this, Rip?
03:44Because if it's too much for you, I'll gladly slice Bella's head off.
03:47Uh, and claim all the glory for yourself?
03:49Nice try!
03:50Trust me, I know she's the Antichrist now and there's no Bella left.
03:53I will not hesitate to decapitate.
03:55Towards doing what's right, shall I gravitate?
03:58Do not dubitate, Saltine.
04:00For even if it would agitate and make mine heart palpitate.
04:03And though the demon may jacticate and vagitate, that's a real word, she cannot imitate.
04:07She with whom I used to cohabitate.
04:09And when slain, the ghoul's corpse shall crepitate.
04:12And the celebratory ale we drink shall benipitate.
04:15Also a real word.
04:16And that's no crepitate.
04:17Not a real word, but should be.
04:18And I submitted it to Webster.
04:19Stay tuned on that one.
04:20Look!
04:21There!
04:22Well, because table reads, that's the interesting thing.
04:28That's your first inkling and you probably see, like, boards.
04:31But as, obviously, the first season, now the second season, you know, you get a more of a taste for what it is as far as the timing.
04:39Could you both talk about that?
04:40Because that probably keys into how the animation works as well.
04:44Yeah, I mean, for me, like, my records are primarily done with Andy just because so much of our scenes are together.
04:52So the first season, I think, was all about building up that dynamic and figuring out what our chemistry was in the booth.
05:00And the second season was just building on that.
05:02And I think doing things that make each other laugh and the writers knowing our voices and us understanding the tone of the show more.
05:10At least me understanding the tone.
05:11I think, you know, he created it.
05:12He knows it.
05:13But, yeah, I think just getting more familiar with each other and the world was, yeah, I think exciting to dig in more in season two.
05:24Well, I was going to say, I agree.
05:26I think part of it was once you see the finished product in season one and you see the sort of the tone comedically that it goes in, going in for season two is a lot easier.
05:41Because one, I felt comfortable and I felt comfortable recording and I also trusted the direction that they would give me in the recording.
05:49Because sometimes you go into jobs and you sort of, you don't really trust the director.
05:54You go, man, this is questionable.
05:56You want me to sound like this or whatever.
05:59But with these guys, it was a little bit easier because I trusted they knew what they wanted.
06:05Quail, what are you doing here?
06:07I'm here for the uncle in Antichrist.
06:09Step aside.
06:10You're too late, sweetie.
06:11Rip's already chopped their heads off.
06:13And then he slipped in their blood and sprained his cocks.
06:16Papa!
06:20Rip, you were tricking us?
06:21What the hell is Quail doing here?
06:23I'm taking the Auntie and Uncle Christ.
06:25How did you even know we had them?
06:26One of your friends sold you out.
06:28Blueberry, how could you?
06:30Gentlemen.
06:31No, I won't let you have my Bella.
06:33I wasn't expecting you to let me.
06:35I'm just going to do it.
06:36I belong to no man.
06:39Now die!
06:40Okay, powers aren't totally back yet.
06:45Shoot her!
06:46Bella, no!
06:48Well, because the zeitgeist of the actual tone is interesting because comedy tone has shifted.
06:55I mean, I remember you and I, when we talked, I remember at the Junket for Ladies' Man.
07:00Sorry about that.
07:01Oh, wow.
07:02But it's interesting the way that comedy and the way it reflects even in animation has changed completely.
07:09Especially when it has to do with the ego of the characters, which is really interesting in here, because they're more self-aware.
07:16You know, all these characters, even maybe not Rip as much, but can you talk about sort of seeing the idea of making fun of the ego in comedy?
07:26Because that's such a big thing, I think, in this series.
07:30Hmm.
07:32That's a good point.
07:33I think with my character, he's all ego.
07:36He's all, he's number one.
07:38And also, he can get anything he wants.
07:43And he has the ability to get anything he wants.
07:47And so, when he can't get it, it makes it, I mean, for an actor, it's a lot more meat to play there.
07:56And it is a good point that these characters are all self-aware except for Rip.
08:02That's a good point to make.
08:04And also, I think, like, just now, as you were saying, like, you know, I kind of feel like when I watched the first season, I was surprised with the stuff we get away with.
08:18I was really surprised.
08:20And I, because I kind of feel like it has an edge to it, and a darkness also to it, because here's the main character that's trying to bring his dead girlfriend back to life.
08:32And that's his main goal, which is most shows, the guy is trying to find the woman.
08:38You know what I mean? So, already, it's like coming from a different place.
08:44Hey, what is it, mate? I thought you'd be excited for your first date, you new secret society.
08:50I thought it seemed cool at first, but I'm always getting invited to fancy clubs like this.
08:54They're filled with people who only want my money. I haven't a friend in the world.
08:58That's not true. I'm your friend.
09:00I pay you a lot of money.
09:02Sure, yeah. But what about Buddy Bonk? He's your friend.
09:04I would even say that we are besties.
09:06I programmed him to be my friend. That doesn't count.
09:09So, I don't have free will. That's world-shattering.
09:12I used to think woe is other people, but no, woe is me.
09:19And my last question to you, Mitra, is, you know, obviously, we were talking about ego, but the thing with Saltini is her ambition, but staying true to herself.
09:29You know, even there's a certain reference, I think, in episode three this season, like, about mid, you know, that whole thing.
09:38But it's sort of finding her ambition versus how she sees herself.
09:43Can you talk about the characters that, and then I'll let you go.
09:47Yeah, I think, I mean, I think the show obviously pushes things to such heightened places, but I think everybody has to deal with versions of that question of like, I want things, what am I willing to do to get things?
10:02Am I, what, if anything, am I willing to compromise?
10:06And I think it's so fun to deal with these huge questions in the silliest way possible.
10:12Through character, like, I just think it, it's all so goofy.
10:16Like, every time you think it's going to take itself too seriously, like, somebody gets caught on fire or something like that.
10:23And I really value that about this show.
10:26It's what makes it so fun to do.
10:27Man to the bone!
10:31Man to the bone?
10:32What does that even mean, anyways?
10:34I think I speak for both of us when I say who gives a shit.
10:38We're f***ing dead!
10:50Oh, damn.
10:51Oh, damn.
10:52Oh, my God, shut up!
10:54Shut up!
