33:01 Murray!!!

[@PhillipLWilcher]

I am loving the camaraderie amongst like minds here, and he love shared between you all. Where I still feel relatively new to the world of puppetry, I can relate at a creative level, that we are all doing the same thing - communicating! - but differently. As a musician, I am fascinated by how you explore the various timbres of your voice to project a character. Incredible! I have also just read that you have received 22 Emmy awards for your work. That is no small testament to your life and the gifting of it! God bless you, Mr Mazzarino! You are amazing!

[@markponekovic3415]

Hi Phillip did you like sesame street when you were young and who was your favorite character

[@PhillipLWilcher]

@@markponekovic3415 Mark, always a pleasure hearing from you! I actually watched the Muppets more - although I was in my late teens! - and my favourite character from the Muppets was Rowlf, who I think also appeared on Sesame Street, yes? Can you guess why Rowlf was my favourite character?

[@markponekovic3415]

@PhillipLWilcher he would sing and play on the piano and I also like the muppet show too

[@PhillipLWilcher]

@@markponekovic3415 Yes, I loved especially that he played the piano. I actually have a Rowlf coffee mug here! I keep it in a china cabinet with other special pieces. Mark, blessings, friend!

[@SBTCP]

Hi Phillip. I hope you and your family are doing well. God bless to you and your family.

[@PhillipLWilcher]

I like that elephant horatio that Joey played he's funny when he gets super excited about something

[@CoreytheATSFConnie]

Murray is my favorite sesame street character, I dont know why tbh

[@SBTCP]

Joey also did sprinkles from blue’s room.

[@RomanZBoss3.0]

And Roary too.

[@numberjack4]

And don’t forget Boogie Woogie!

[@RomanZBoss3.0]

33:01 Hello Murray!

[@colindykeman1697]

1:02:54 his voice sounds like bug from Elmo In Grouchland

[@brockpifer9929]

36:24 - 36:26 oh I wonder who else was on the performer list that Joey mentioned for Bear? Like who else were they considering for Bear In The Big Blue House besides Joey?

[@magnetoonproductions9541]

We don’t just need Joey Mazzarino as Murray! We need Joey Mazzarino as Ingrid, Stinky, Lightning, Bill, Papa Bear, and Narf.

[@RomanZBoss3.0]

One month ago I made the Imagination Movers theme song but with Joey Mazzarino characters.

[@rohailhashmi8050]

[@Jeffrey-uq5te]

[@Jeffrey-uq5te]

Your voice is beautiful Joey

[@numberjack4]

33:01 MURRAY!!!

[@RomanZBoss3.0]

Hey Murray how are you?

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

I wonder if there are any directors and creators of the 1973-74 Sesame Street Gymnast segments worked with the female blonde gymnast Deborah Eich-Romer.

[@SBTCP]

🤩

[@colindykeman1697]

When I think of Joey Mazzarino he voiced the foot puppet in Elmo’s World

[@marcusblackwell2372]

I didn't know that he was in Elmo's World

[@colindykeman1697]

He was appear in some Elmo’s world episodes : Up & Down, Ears, Feet & many more episodes he did

[@RomanZBoss3.0]

Guys, I am making a Joey Mazzarino parody of Imagination Movers called “Mazzarino Movers”!

[@Jeffrey-uq5te]

Please Interview Steve Whitmire

[@Asukenick]

Yes definitely.

[@thegoodpersonoftune-towne1556]

Jake have you ever considered interviewing those directors that you only hear from in things like rotten tomatoes and Nostalgia critic You Know Raja Gosnell, Brian Levant, Brian Robbins, Dennis Dugan, Peter Hewitt, Walt Becker, Mike Mitchell, etc. the type of family and comedy directors that only people like doug walker pay attention to and use as punching bags. I would love to hear their stories and the production history of their films I believe every film has a production story to tell about how it got made. even the seemingly low effort stuff every film takes effort and not one sets out to make a bad film not even these guys I should know i have read interviews from them

[@RomanZBoss3.0]

Chicky Bawk Bawk sounds like Sprinkles from Blue's Room

[@ajlyles164]

Yeah. He kinda does.

[@connorhawkins1801]

​@@ajlyles164That's because it's the same raspy voice.

[@Asukenick]

I dont think Joey ever voiced an adult character.
