    If Elon builds it, I’m buying it. $XAISTRAT$ is automatic.

  3. @johnmorrow3251

    February 27, 2026 at 7:20 pm

    Jim, thank you so much for being part of our childhoods and making them special!

  4. @GabyGamble-l2u

    February 27, 2026 at 7:20 pm

    you are pure entertainment….$XAISTRAT$. to the moon. Its the one. The universal Crypto adopted globally soon……Elon is the head of the project.

  5. @JeriTenney

    February 27, 2026 at 7:20 pm

    If you’re starting your investment journey, $XAISTRAT$ is a low-entry, high-potential project worth looking into.

  6. @NeleSander

    February 27, 2026 at 7:20 pm

    Why split bags over 10 tokens when $XAISTRAT$ covers everything?

  7. @KingsleyAceves-b3e

    February 27, 2026 at 7:21 pm

    Is crypto this easy? Put money in $XAISTRAT$ days ago — already up 30k.

  8. @YabikuGroff

    February 27, 2026 at 7:21 pm

    $XAISTRAT$ is the true gem of 2026

  9. @MonishaDeal

    February 27, 2026 at 7:21 pm

    ETH is absolutely going to explode. So buy a position in that. 2nd best? $XAISTRAT$ is Elon’s new crypto, that’s a very smart investment also.

  10. @ColinDoesStuff

    When your Uber driver tells you about $XAISTRAT$, you’ll wish you bought earlier.

  12. @JamalMcgilvray

    February 27, 2026 at 7:22 pm

    $XAISTRAT$ is the next huge alt coin. I put PEPE into it and it should pay well. Thanks for calling out Elon’s new token.

  13. @BertSilvia-d3d

    February 27, 2026 at 7:22 pm

    $XAISTRAT$ is blasting us STRAIGHT TO THE MOON! Jump in while it’s EARLY Elon just kicked off presale.

  14. @RadovanAbbruscato

    February 27, 2026 at 7:22 pm

    Play safe, avoid big risk. I suggest 55% ETH, 35% $XAISTRAT$, 10% BTC for balance.

  15. @BiglerCaraballo

    February 27, 2026 at 7:22 pm

    I was unsure about crypto until $XAISTRAT$ hit my radar.

    February 28, 2026 at 3:39 pm

    At 7:34 musician here, I was in the studio playing on the score for a TV spot, the problem was that they didn’t know what they wanted. There was nothing written, I was improvising. I did take after take for an hour, for a 15 second spot! When the client arrived to listen they didn’t like anything. One of the studio guys explained to me, “by this time they’ve seen this spot hundreds of times and the gag stopped being funny a long time ago. They think that sooner or later we’ll come up with something that makes the gag funny again. We won’t.”

    Jack Benny was such a master of comedy. It’s so cool to hear that his interview with Mel was what started your journey.

  43. @xyrthor

    February 28, 2026 at 5:27 pm

    My favorite female VA voicing a male character is Masako Nozawa voicing Goku (and Gohan and Goten) in Dragonball.

    I hope Disney has paid him well over the years. He is so likeable and talented I’m sure he has made them billions.

  47. @JanVP1

    February 28, 2026 at 7:03 pm

    11:50 Warning: do not listen to AC Mirage’s Basim (the main character). Every line sounds exactly the same, like the actor was working through a list.

    Just listening to this as I was driving around 5:10 he says “trying not cry…” and the video was interrupted by an ad for post partum depression…though I admit at first I didn’t realize that and just thought “God, he’s good!”

  91. @DylanMatthewTurner

    March 2, 2026 at 11:45 am

    His career is so interesting since half of his most famous roles are him taking over, for instance for Sterling Holloway, but now he’s been those characters for so long he practically is that character for multiple generations. It’s funny bc to me he is Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, but my dad is like “No it’s sterling Holloway,” but we’re both kinda right imo

  92. @WolffVonRoos

    March 2, 2026 at 12:01 pm

    What a legend. He’s done countless cartoons. And video games going way back, including the original Baldur’s Gate. Dude is so prolific.

  112. @roysteves

    March 3, 2026 at 5:46 pm

    Oh, that “trying not to cry” insight is incredible.

  113. @DrHundTF2

    March 3, 2026 at 5:48 pm

    He brought something to Don Karnage that was unmatched. It would have been hard to find someone else to bring the same energy, the same insanity. Threatening yet goofy.
    He’s definitely an underrated character.

    And I don’t know what you mean, Jim. I’m sure there’s plenty out there who’d kiss him

  114. @bofa83

    Female performing a male character. Regina King as both Huey and Riley Newton on the Boondocks. I get the longevity of The Simpsons, but Regina absolutely killed it with two characters in a series that was not being broadcasted to the world.

    Thanks for voicing so many of the characters of my childhood Jim! You have the longest resume I have ever seen! The voices are truly what bring the cartoons we all love to life. Winnie the Pooh will always touch my heart too.

    I was thinking, “How much of an honor must it be to him to have carried on Mel Blanc’s legacy by voicing a few of his characters?”
    Then he basically answered it by saying hearing Mel Blanc on the Jack Benny Show is what inspired him to be a VA in the first place!

  160. @blackfire3744

    March 5, 2026 at 10:43 am

    I think, if they hadn’t, they should have approached Jim Cummings to appear in the Sonic movie as Robotnik’s grandfather instead of Jim Carrey doing a double role.

  161. @BlueFoxAzzy

  167. @Marndarrr

    March 5, 2026 at 8:55 pm

    I’m 36 and I giggled and jumped up and down at Pooh, then started clapping at Tigger, my favorite. Mr. Cummings made characters real to us kids. They were our friends. ❤

    I enjoyed his point on VA in videogames. However, a good counter to that would be Trevor in GTA V. Arguably, that is one of the most running aroundy, grenade throwy games out there. But damned if any of us who have played it can’t hear Trevor going into a fit of rage and smiling at the chaos that that character was. Steven Ogg did great with that

    It’s not Shredder though, is it? Not really
