Trover News: What would you put in a fruit salad?
JR: I don’t know. I don’t understand.
Trover News: Who has been one of your favorite characters to voice over the years?
JR: Rick and Morty are pretty fun to voice. When I get to play around back and forth with them.
Trover News: How much schleem could a squanch dev squanch, if a squanch dev could squanch schleem?
JR: Prob a lot.
Trover News: Tell us about your lil’ pups. The people demand it!
JR: I have four little pups. Jerry, puppet, nugget, and Wendy. Jerry and pup are pretty old (14) so it’s getting a bit rough seeing them grow old and knowing a goodbye is coming. Wendy and nugget are little guys. Young.

Trover News: Do you think anyone will ever really be able to live up to the legacy of Alex Trebek as host on Jeopardy?
JR: Prob not. I say make a new show with a great host like that and let that host own it. But it’s prob possible for someone new to come and fill the spot, and after a while it will feel good. Look at the price is right with Drew Carrey.
Trover News: It’s 3am, you just spent the last four hours drinking with friends. The bars are now closed, and you’re effin hungry. Where do you go?
JR: 3am is hard. That’s when most of the good places close. Honestly, if I couldn’t find a good place I’d start with Subway, then stoop to Taco Bell levels.
Trover News: How do eyehole monsters procreate?
JR: They lay eggs and nest them in their eyeholes.
Trover News: Can you ever think of or say the word “unacceptable” without thinking of Lemongrab?
JR: Hmm. I prob can yeah. It’s only so often when I may say it and make the connection.
Trover News: Would you rather sneeze constantly for the rest of your life, or be forced to drink your own urine as your only fluid intake?
JR: Jesus. I guess sneeze. Both are awful. Do I get paid for this?
Trover News: What do you love about Squanch Games?
JR: Being able to bring insane amazing worlds and characters to life, to create really fun game mechanics, and getting to work with some absolutely incredible talent. The dream is to make fun stuff long into the future.
