hello friends this week we are joined by
a very special guest Ben Schwartz the
star of Sonic the Hedgehog Wow your
voice changes totally when you announce
that I know it goes oh my goodness that
was a shock we are playing Sonic the
Hedgehog - we sure are sad that Jon -
both of us together we're gonna play a
video game and have fun on the genesis
mini he lists the Sega keto story but
yeah please do act like some very well I
wish have my phone on me to play for you
but Jeff Fowler is a director and I
we're recording many many times over and
over again and we were thought it'd be
funny if it was my voice saying Sega
like ten times over itself so we
reported it and then it is of course not
in the movie because it's probably on
the tape so if anybody wants to take
this audio and do it five times over it
goes okay so we have a whole bunch
questions they start off very easy and
then the questions get progressively
harder and harder until they're
incredibly hard okay starts off easy
what was the very first video game that
you have a play who it was probably Dig
Dug or like Mavis Beacon teaches typing
or something like that remember that oh
we're into so we can spend it can't wait
yes what was your favorite game going up
of all time yeah it probably would have
been oh I love like the past I thought
Zelda was unbelievable is he your
favorite up against a North Korea time
is pretty incredible too I did just be
breast the wild and insulate okay let's
talk a little bit about Sonic the
Hedgehog the movie famously this had a
bit of a redesign of the character what
did that mean for you did you have to go
back and rerecord more line and tell you
how long this is taking
it's like embarrassing well I would I am
three seconds you've got two tails
- player wins wait is it not time no oh
it's score see I've never played versus
before so rings item bye okay
everything's I want to go back to you a
trash talking to actually listen
okay you're right I beat this game but I
was by myself like a lonely boy by the
way I said lonely boy it was like a
couple weeks ago
my biggest thing when I would
so we had just finished the movie right
and we had no idea how many people
actually cared you know what I mean and
we were really hoping that when it came
out people would really respond to it
over the trailer came up people respond
to it and really excited so our hope was
like let's see if anybody cares and then
when it came out so many people were so
passionate and so excited and have their
own ideas and want to talk about it that
it made us feel incredible that we've
had something special that you know once
we get this out there and once we tweak
it in whatever ways it could be a really
special thing so the biggest thing I got
from all that was that all these people
were really excited to see the movie in
there were people that really cared
about Sonic as much with me depth in Jim
and all everybody like what did you
think of the original design whatever
side what do you think oh very nice it
wasn't it was a different design that
was not expecting it to look at I'm
really happy with how it ended up my
rings I I when I show the final thing I
was really happy with how it turned out
and I was excited by the person gets up
here
I was excited by the I was excited by
the way look the kind of way I was
playing the voice you very much matched
with this final design was good did you
change the voice at all after the
redesign yeah before the reason of this
guy first see this is what I don't get I
slowed down I didn't do much of anything
and I still win I mean you got to take
it up with the people at Sonic not me I
didn't make the rules again oh here this
is a very fun aspect oh this is one of
my favorite things this is also there's
a bit in the movie where this is
reference there's a lot of bits yes a
lot of little Easter eggs the band and
us we have a Super Smash Brothers
reference in it I missed that one what's
that god there's a there's a oppose that
sonic does it's very smashed and then
there's um you know what like when
you're on the top of something sonic
kind of tipped over like this that is in
there as well and then I have a series
of Jim Carrey referencing that sonic
related okay I have more questions for
you yeah you're doing great by the way
thank you for whatever no this is your
first interview Wow okay I'm your social
media recently yeah people showed you
this image and you
yeah distract you right now do you
understand this now what are your
thoughts can I tell you what I know and
you can tell me how close i yes please
do this is a video game there's a TV
show full of Witcher yes right and so
The Witcher is theirs follows a it seems
like a widget strong guy what is a
Witcher a warlock essentially okay so
it's like the mixture of a witch and
what's the earth part that's him it's
like oh okay got it and there's a I
heard this is I haven't seen the show
this is just me learning from people
tweeting me but there's a very annoying
guy that sing okay so this is just me
reading tweets and so or he sings a lot
towards the Witcher until they they said
that's like John Ralphie oh that's a
picture of them gotcha do you have
personal affinity for that picture do
you like it I think it's great yeah it's
great picture who do you look up to wow
I hope we're and we're showing the
screen in this right I lost on that one
we'll cut that part out who do you look
up to and admire both as an actor as a
comedian thank you I try to push my day
exact I saw you do this Mortal Kombat
interview and my life has never been
saved
oh you know what what when I started UCB
I really looked up Amy Poehler
she's only people who created our
theater along with Matt Besser Matt
Walsh Roberts but that whole group is
pretty incredible and that looked like
Tina Fey and all those people loved Will
Ferrell I love that old school SNL thing
so I feel like everybody likes a version
of SNL baby so mine would be like Farley
and Sam where you voiced a turtle you
voiced a duck you voiced a little droid
robot in bb-8 okay are you
and now you've also voiced a hedgehog if
they all entered the Thunderdome
together who would walk out alive ah
okay well this is the problem I don't
think anybody can catch up this on how
do you beat something you can't catch
I'm asking you you can't I don't think
you can I think do is like an adventure
I think
Leonardo's actually but how do you beat
something we can catch probably so you
going for Sonic well yeah Sonic
so whoever the person like tomorrow it
may be my character from spaceport I
think in again amongst maybe eight
speaks in beeps he sure died what is his
dialogue look like on a page by the way
there was real dialog did you know that
I know that's my question
great question thank you research so
what not when I did this JJ and I went
together and we thought a dialogue of
what he would say I don't remember what
it was I remember yelling sometimes and
being really emotional sometimes I
wanted the whole idea when I was doing
with JJ said we want a character that
you could feel when he's happy you could
feel and he said so it's like I want him
to be able to do all those things so
when I did all those lines to kind of do
all the different emotions so every line
for bb-8 then it actually is words
written on a page
not every line but for the first couple
then we gave us an Industrial Light &
Magic and when we gave it to aisle and
when it came back it felt like you could
hear human saying words so like yeah
maybe this isn't the right way to go
some use a synthesizer then we tried
other things and I went and did a movie
and Bill Hader took over then I think JD
that's like coming happen that's I
literally think that's what happened
what is your vba is a canadian that's
next question what is your bb-8 voice
sound like it was kind of like it was it
was given a similar it was just similar
to I think they're similar my voice is a
little bit higher because I wanted it to
be like I think he wanted to feel like
an ego speaking of your relationship
with JJ Abrams he just signed a very big
deal wonder do we die call this that you
came over oh it's not over though cuz
you don't I take it harder it's hard to
talk and play I know it's very difficult
and not worry about it's not about
finishing the round it's about it's
about destroying your honor yes I I'm
not a very competitive person on yeah
but you're beating me so yeah but also
like I want you to win this is your show
yeah that makes me feel worse because
you are beating
does that makes me feel better maybe I'm
yes it's like um your relationship with
JJ Abrams you wrote some lines for c-3po
yeah
the rise of skywalk I sure did you've
mentioned a couple um I also do you
wanna give it exclusive I do please do
do you want me to give you an exclusive
yes should we get like yeah but I also
play kylo Ren and rise of this guy I
never knew that yeah whoo
I'd see you Samantha girls know I 7 I
also had a line exciting it is exciting
my favorite line near overseas we go yes
well in 7 the line that got in was a han
Solo sees Princess Leia for the first
time and they see each other face and
see through fields in between them and
they're obviously just looking at each
other and c-3po goes I probably doesn't
recognize me because of that hand that
was baby like that my favorite one from
9 was when he goes my favorite line for
c-3po and Rises a guy Walker was there
good they fall in the sand yes yeah yeah
and when they fall down leave it was
cold those Finn Finn are you okay ray
you okay and then if you're pure comes
to the background he goes you didn't say
my name but I'm okay fortunately and
when I did the line I did them as a
voice note on my phone there's all these
voice notes of me as c-3po doing all
these weird lines we're only like you
know for the love I feel like between
the Sega recording and then the C phone
has a lot of stuff yeah yeah I also
randomly have a lot of pictures of human
that is very strange
it was never met before Wow I never met
me in Sonic the Hedgehog you've got to
work with Jim Carrey
do you have a relationship with him
carry on going grew up Jim Perry's phone
number I do not write because I didn't
get that I wasn't unset with her filming
I've met him one day I'm filming and he
was lovely and I asked him about Ace
Ventura it was a joy of joys and then
during press I got to hang out with
coolest things about presses I have
these pictures with Jim Carrey that are
like I can't wait this like in high
school is like this there's all these
like childhood dream things are
happening it's he was unbelievable when
he talks to you who's next with you he
looks at you in the eyes and it's like I
feel very lucky to have been to work
with him and James Marsden and take us
up there but oh I mean Jim was like an
idol of mine yeah okay now we're gonna
the really really hard questions here oh
wow if there's an edge of the universe
what do you think is at it oh that's a
question tell me we define define what
the edge of the universe is you talk
about the entire thing you're saying
it's not all expanding whatever it in
fact ends yes I'm saying there's a
finite amount of universe yeah and so
when when I come to that last exit on
the universe freeway what is that I know
what it is okay tell me I like research
really okay yeah they're my major was
into the universe oh okay yeah whoa yeah
whoa take a screenshot son son I mean
there's not one thing that you even came
close with that was really bad I'm a
gaming editor I just wanna put that out
there but this is my job
um oh I dunno what's there yeah what's
at the end of university it's you ever
see the end of lost yes I said it's that
but Jeff Goldblum face does he say
something well it goes out far enough
where you see the entire so your entire
universe is Jeff Jeff Goldblum yeah you
look into his eye and it's a whole
nother universe like men and black Wow
yeah yeah and then in that universe you
go in and it's gilbert godfree's are are
you going to that this is gonna boy
rather just keep going with no because
back to Jeff Goldblum and that's how
that's how the universe is infinite it's
not another exclusive communiques
cluesive tag that one please well we got
to do do the last question this is
probably the hardest one last question
yeah no I'm sorry at the end of
Inception do you think Kaaba stone is I
know joke put this in a movie of mine
really okay yes I just ruined the line
in a movie that I wrote and literally
what I said want us to think that
someone says that they don't understand
the end of inception it for that exact
reason so when so I'm in the
name-drop right please do you heard of
the WGA I'm in the WGA and a part of W
J's they often give you the scripts for
movies are nominated
so when inception was nominated I went
to the script to see if the top and fell
down and I and what do you find there I
found that they didn't give me a goddamn
answer Wow so no one doesn't even know
what happened I'm sure Christopher Nolan
has an idea what happened in his movies
but I don't think you want to kill us I
think it's whatever we wanted what do
you want personally I like to think that
it does fall over and he's not in very
much I'm an optimist this is gonna be
crazy I actually do know what it means
okay do you want me to tell you is it
involved Gilbert Godfried anyway no what
are you talk I don't know I even come
from know you want to know - thank you
okay he's gonna blow your mind I'm ready
what was the question
this cop still in a dream at the end of
a tempo I know the answer okay taking
your time answer you want to know it I
do yes that's why I asked I'm afraid you
can't handle it I draw it the question
was at the end of Inception 2010 films
starring Leonardo DiCaprio is directed
like this word yes is Cobb the character
played by in order to copy are still in
a dream callate the answer handle it the
answer is that he wakes up from the
dream and the whole time it's been his
character from catch me if you can
that's my boy it was a a long con can I
be honest yeah you owe me toyou that
ends ok and that's a dream within a
dream of course because we're in
Inception
uh-huh and so that character wakes up
and it's him dying in Titanic a lot of
your answers are kind of like a thing
that pulls out to be another time you're
like dare you look at the screen tell me
