‘Rick and Morty’ Star Eric Bauza Says He Had to Do ‘The Most Swearing I’ve Ever Done in My Life’ During a Recent Recording Session
Even as Rick and Morty’s overlords have remained tight-lipped on what’s in store for the series’ upcoming eighth season, there’s one thing we now know for certain: Some unlucky alien is about to have a really, really bad day.
Canadian voice actor and longtime Rick and Morty contributor Eric Bauza opened up about a recent studio session he did for the next season of the Adult Swim staple, revealing he wasn’t only tasked with “the most swearing I’ve ever done in my life,” but he had to do so in front of his school-aged son.

“We had this crazy, crazy turn of events called the L.A. wildfires, and my son’s school was closed for several days,” Bauza, who has voiced numerous Rick and Morty characters including Glen the Gromflomite and Shane the facehugger, recalled during a recent sitdown with uInterview. “The one day I have to bring my son into work with me is the one day I have a Rick and Morty session.”
Arriving to the session “fully prepared” with an iPad and “more importantly” a pair of headphones to keep profanity — as well as spoilers, burping and the existential terror of a space-traveling, alcoholic — away from his son’s impressionable ears, these precautions quickly went by the wayside as Bauza began cussing.
“I’m halfway through my script, and the producers are cracking up because they can see my son has been listening to me the whole time,” Bauza continued, noting how he’s “just waiting for child services” to swoop in. “He learned some really weird words that day.”
Hey, we’d take Child Protective Services over the Galactic Federation any day.
