Don't know what to say or to explain All you need to know is that the end of the show is Clang Jack

0:22.3

Up where they walk, up where they run Up where they stay all day in the sun

0:29.9

Wondering free, which I could be part of their cast

0:41.9

Thank you so much for that. You're welcome. It was wonderful. You're awesome. I thought it was great. I almost I almost pulled it off. I lost it in the middle there and I pulled it back down. Here's my question. Here's my question. What we've got

0:58.9

There are two. We've got four more musicals on the horizon. Are you asking me if I'm going to do it all four times? I think you should. I think I probably will. Right. Why not? I think I probably will.

1:13.9

I know it has songs, but like it's not the same thing. But like this. We're now in Broadway musical level type. You know, like there's we got to do a musical opening.

1:26.9

Well, also you have to remember the time we're recording this. The episode won't come out for another month or so, but the time we're recording this. I'm hot off of the success of the new Wado holiday parody song All I Wado for life day is you. So I caught the bug again.

1:46.9

Not to give myself away. Well, first of all, I was like wondering what you were going to do. And I feel stupid for not guessing that part of their cast. And second, you also saying the intro the last time I was on the main feed.

2:01.9

Oh, that was the last time you were on the main feed was all do anything. Yeah. Look, I mean horrible horrible song.

2:10.9

I there are few things I love more than putting 10% of effort into rewriting words lyrics. Like I love a good not even half ass, but like quarter asked a parody songwriting.

2:29.9

Of course, this was for the George Lucas talk show life day holiday special. I took while the show was going. I took all I want for Christmas is you and I did search and just replaced every instance of Christmas with life day and every instance of want with Wado.

2:49.9

And that was pretty much the end of my rewriting. And it reminded me that it's it's the most fulfilling work in the world to do that lazy a job rewriting song lyrics.

3:01.9

Did you put out the Wado live album? No, I never did because I know because I never recorded it. I thought about doing it with the show, but but in my mind, part of me want to re record it. I don't know. I mean the world ended.

3:15.9

I want to hear those songs again. Yeah, part of me wants to redo them. Were you at that show, Esther? I was not. I was seeing six the musical that night. No, it's fine. It was the last comedy show, but none of us could know at the time.

3:31.9

I thought you were going to do more Wado shows. I thought so too. We have a second one on the box. Yeah, right. Yeah, it was huge. But I know you're right. It's it brings me great joy to replace three words in a popular song.

3:44.9

I probably will continue doing it for the rest of this many series.

3:49.9

Please do. Thank you very much. I'm so excited to talk about this movie and introduce our guests, but I guess you should introduce the show.

3:59.9

Oh, I should introduce the show. Yeah, I guess so. Well, this is Blanchock McRiffin. David, of course. I'm. David.

4:07.9

Good. Well, quicker on the response time there. It's a podcast about film. Graphies directors who have massive success. What are you? You're hitting a four.

4:15.9

I'm a. Oh, he's being Sebastian. Oh, folks, he's being Sebastian. This is going to be a fucking goofball David episode. I love this movie.

4:25.9

It's a podcast about film. Graphies directors who have massive success early on in their career and are given us here is a blank checks make whatever crazy passion products they want. And sometimes those checks clear and sometimes they bounce baby.
