Speaker 1: Hello, my friend. It is gardening season. Oh is it ever?
Speaker 1: Gardening season? An adventuring season, and I plan to be
Speaker 1: spending I don't know the next two or three, maybe
Speaker 1: four months doing little else. Nothing calms my soul, quiets
Speaker 1: my overthinking, cannot stop thinking brain. Like being in nature,
Speaker 1: working with seeds and soil, digging up plants, or exploring
Speaker 1: a trail along the river bank looking for stones.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: I love looking for rocks. I love taking the kids
Speaker 1: and just looking for rocks at the creek. I love miracles,
Speaker 1: great and small. I love being in God's great outdoors.
Speaker 1: I love it, love it, love it. I've got a
Speaker 1: house full of kids this summer five, much like the
Speaker 1: old lady who lived in the shoe. I am a
Speaker 1: mom and a grandmom, and I know what to do.
Speaker 1: I say, go outside, I'm coming with you. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: that's not possible twenty four to seven. So we do
Speaker 1: have to come up with other avenues of productivity and entertainment,
Speaker 1: which includes some carefully monitored scream time indulgences. Sometimes today's
Speaker 1: guest is helping me to provide some mom approved options
Speaker 1: to that end. Butch Hartman, an integral member, of the
Speaker 1: Animation magazine's Hall of Fame, a multiple Immy nominated animator, writer, director, producer, illustrator,

Speaker 1: are going to join us today to chat about a
Speaker 1: Garden Cartoon movie, The Greatest Thing Ever, starring the Garden
Speaker 1: Cartoon characters Lenny the Lion and Lucy the Lamb in
Speaker 1: their very first full length movie. The story follows this duo,
Speaker 1: Lenny and Lucy, as they so the infinite garden to
Speaker 1: find out what the boss calls the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 1: Only one problem, he doesn't tell them what the greatest
Speaker 1: thing ever actually is is a pirate treasure, being a queen,
Speaker 1: going to outer space, finding a dinosaur. The possibilities are endless.
Speaker 1: Lenny and Lucy are on an epic search, and they
Speaker 1: take the audience along with them. Will we get any
Speaker 1: clues as to what the greatest thing ever is? Let's
Speaker 1: ask Butch and his bride Julie Ann. Just after I
Speaker 1: clue you into one of my greatest podcast sponsors ever.
Speaker 1: Have you been looking for a milk replacement because you
Speaker 1: have dairy allergies or sensitivities. Well, I found one that's
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. It's Sherry's hazel Cream, made from Oregon hazelnuts.
Speaker 1: This plant based milk stands out from the competitors because
Speaker 1: it's designed for cooking and baking. It all started because Sherry,
Speaker 1: who could no longer tolerate dairy products, wanted to make gravy,
Speaker 1: but not gravy that tasted like coconut or oatmeal. So
Speaker 1: by enlisting the help of her engineer husband and a
Speaker 1: friend that's a food scientist, and through much trial and error.
Speaker 1: Sherry's hazel Cream was born because of a special roasting process.
Speaker 1: It's very neutral and taste and works with a large
Speaker 1: variety of recipes. It comes sealed in shelf stable, easy
Speaker 1: to use, pre measured portion pods that you place into
Speaker 1: your blender, add varying amounts of water to make milk
Speaker 1: cream or even condensed milk for pies and other mouth
Speaker 1: watering desserts. It's delicious and mashed potatoes and cakes, in
Speaker 1: creamy soups and even casserole dishees. Visit Sherry's Hazelcream dot

Speaker 1: Someone with Delilah. We're going to talk about the fairly
Speaker 1: odd parents. We're going to talk about what you're doing now.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the adventures of Lenny the Lion,
Speaker 1: Lucy the Lamb, and Dear Delilah. Welcome back. It's good
Speaker 1: to see you both.
Speaker 2: It's great to see you again and we're so thrilled
Speaker 2: to talk to you. And then you'll you look amazing
Speaker 2: as ohwas.
Speaker 1: Thank you and you guys, look what time is it
Speaker 1: where you are?
Speaker 2: We're we're in Ireland right now, and so we're eight
Speaker 2: and you're on the West coast of America three twelve.
Speaker 2: Well we're eight hours ahead of you. Put it that way,
Speaker 2: we're eight hours a head. So we've already seen the future.
Speaker 2: But we can't tell you what happened.
Speaker 1: You've gone back to the future. And now we're going
Speaker 1: to share a little bit of time talking about some
Speaker 1: fun characters.
Speaker 2: Yes, hey man, well I'm glad, I'm well. First of all,
Speaker 2: we want to thank you because I don't think years
Speaker 2: ago when you started your radio career that you realized
Speaker 2: you would become a cartoon.
Speaker 1: Character who also is giving advice.
Speaker 2: Who also gives advice. And I think it's so great.
Speaker 2: Not many people will step out and do that, and
Speaker 2: you did, and you decided to do a voice for us,
Speaker 2: and we're so grateful.
Speaker 1: So you're probably best known. Well, you're best known in
Speaker 1: our household for the Fairly Odd Parents.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's that was like I did that show in
Speaker 2: Nickelodeon for over twenty years along with Danny Phantom and
Speaker 2: Tough Puppy and Bunsen as a beast are by four
Speaker 2: show to the Kelodier.
Speaker 1: So, Fairly Odd Parents. What year did that debut?
Speaker 2: That debuted as a series in the year two thousand
Speaker 2: and one, March of two thousand and one. It was
Speaker 2: a series of short cartoons before that, but then it
Speaker 2: ran for about eighteen years once it premiered. Oh, we
Speaker 2: made eighteen years of new show. So it was a
Speaker 2: really big full time job and a major major milestone
Speaker 2: for me in a great, great, great time.
Speaker 1: How much of the Fairly Odd Parents characters were based
Speaker 1: on your family, Well, if you.
Speaker 2: Use the word odd, then all of them, yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean they weren't really.
Speaker 3: I guess they were based on I think every aspect
Speaker 3: of Butch Hartman probably.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Timmy Turner. The boy is named after
Speaker 2: my brother Timmy, and he's a year old boy and
Speaker 2: he had no power, no control, which is how I
Speaker 2: felt when I was a kid. So that I wanted
Speaker 2: to make a show about a kid who finally had
Speaker 2: some power, so I thought I'd get him some magic friends.
Speaker 2: And that's where the fairly OddParents came in, and Cosmo
Speaker 2: and Wanda come in. Drew them. I drew Wanda first,
Speaker 2: and then I'd never seen a fairy godfather before, so
Speaker 2: I drew Cosmo and I named him Cosmo because at
Speaker 2: the time, in the nineties, when I first created the show,
Speaker 2: he had just revealed on Steinfeld that Kramer had a
Speaker 2: first name and that his name was Cosmo.
Speaker 1: How fun does Kramer know that? Did they know that?
Speaker 2: I don't think no, I don't think Michael Richards knows that.
Speaker 2: I would love to tell him someday. But so as
Speaker 2: where Cosmo came from, Okay.
Speaker 1: This is like an Easter egg. This is like one
Speaker 1: of those sweet little hidden surprises that I.
Speaker 2: Love, absolutely see. I revealed it here to you.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, thank you for now. Let's just hope
Speaker 1: he's listening. Let's hope he's a sappy love song kind
Speaker 1: of guy.
Speaker 2: Well, who's not a sappy love song kind of guy?
Speaker 2: Come on, we have we all have to do, right,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: You know you want to know something really funny about
Speaker 1: sappy love song kind of guys. My show is four
Speaker 1: and about women twenty five to sixty four. That's our
Speaker 1: target audience. That's the sweet spot. That's who they hope
Speaker 1: listens every night to the Delilah Show. I get more
Speaker 1: calls from men, almost two to one than I got
Speaker 1: from women.
Speaker 2: Are your calls from men? They just want to know
Speaker 2: the inner workings of a woman's mind.
Speaker 1: No, no, not the least bit interested. I get more
Speaker 1: calls from men who just want to tell me she's
Speaker 1: his rock. No.
Speaker 2: Wow, well, my wife is starting with my rock, that's
Speaker 2: for sure.
Speaker 1: They do not call to complain about the acts. They
Speaker 1: do not call to to share stories about the kids.
Speaker 1: They call to say she's my rock, quote unquot.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: That's all they want to say. The problem is, that's
Speaker 1: not really a compelling story.
Speaker 2: Because sometimes things that are that are just so simple
Speaker 2: aren't that interesting.
Speaker 1: Sometimes, right, very very not interesting. But now you have
Speaker 1: a new your first fold length full feature movie out.
Speaker 2: Yes, we're very thrilled. It's based on my brand new cartoon. Oh.
Speaker 2: The cartoon is called The Garden Cartoon that stars Lending
Speaker 2: the Lion and Lucy the lamb and they live and
Speaker 2: work in a miraculous garden where anything can grow. But
Speaker 2: it's about. It teaches kids the Bible. It's about and
Speaker 2: it teaches kids about scripture and how to read your
Speaker 2: Bible better. And then God comes down every day in
Speaker 2: this in this garden and talks to Lenning Moussy. It
Speaker 2: comes down as a rainbow and tells them, you know,
Speaker 2: gives them a task to do and a new excitement,
Speaker 2: and normally they don't always get it right, so they
Speaker 2: have to consult, you know, the Bible. It's like a
Speaker 2: brand new Veggie Tales for the modern era, for high
Speaker 2: quality kids entertainment. There's a lot of stuff out there,
Speaker 2: but there needs to be more. And I thought, you know,
Speaker 2: after leaving Nickelodeon, and I really love Jesus and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a cartoon that teaches kids about him.
Speaker 2: And so we made The Garden Cartoon, which is a series.
Speaker 2: It's it's all over the place now. It's on Angel Studios,
Speaker 2: it's on Apple TV, it's on Amazon. So the series
Speaker 2: is out. We made a full length movie that you
Speaker 2: my darling are part of, and it's called the Greatest
Speaker 2: Thing Ever.
Speaker 1: The greatest thing ever. And dear Delilah, no, you.
Speaker 2: Know, let me tell you all. It's that you when
Speaker 2: we when we when we approached you to play this character,
Speaker 2: I thought, what kind of a character can I make? Delilah?
Speaker 2: And all the characters in the in the cartoon have
Speaker 2: like their first name as the same letter as their
Speaker 2: last name. I lend me the lion, lou see the lambs,
Speaker 2: I thought, Delilah with a D I'm like a deer,
Speaker 2: Dear Delilah. So I drew a picture of a deer
Speaker 2: behind a radio microphone and I showed it to you,
Speaker 2: and I thought, I think you reacted. How did you
Speaker 2: react when you saw that? Oh?
Speaker 1: I was thrilled. I loved it. But she, I said,
Speaker 1: she she's not a blonde.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we made her a blond very quickly. I read
Speaker 2: her blonde. Yeah. Yeah. But it's great you came in.
Speaker 2: You did a great job. And it's really funny if
Speaker 2: your your deer character appears in three spots in the
Speaker 2: cartoon and in the movie. We're letting Lucy here on
Speaker 2: this grand quest to find the greatest thing ever, God
Speaker 2: tells them, and they call God the boss, by the way,
Speaker 2: because they worked for him. So the boss gives them
Speaker 2: an assignment to go find the greatest thing ever, and
Speaker 2: they're thinking, what is the jelly bean? The raccoons? Is
Speaker 2: it ice cream? What is it? So we don't know
Speaker 2: what it is until the very very end, which I
Speaker 2: will not swell for you, but the movie is so much.
Speaker 1: I'll let you in on a little secret.
Speaker 2: I read the book. You read the book already, I
Speaker 2: already know the answer. Well.
Speaker 1: The thing that I love about Dear Delilah, and I
Speaker 1: don't even think you two knew this when you approached
Speaker 1: me and asked me, is the character that you created
Speaker 1: for the movie is like a deer and she's easily
Speaker 1: distracted and she'll be talking along and then lose her
Speaker 1: train of thought. What you didn't realize, or maybe you did,
Speaker 1: is that is is post metopausal adhd Delilah to a
Speaker 1: t like I walk in a room and I have
Speaker 1: no idea what I'm doing there, how I got there,
Speaker 1: why I'm there, what my mission is. I walk out
Speaker 1: of the room and I remember that I walked in
Speaker 1: the room, you know, to get a cup of tea,
Speaker 1: And then I walked back in the room, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: why do I have a pear of scissors in my
Speaker 1: hand and where did they come from? You know? And
Speaker 1: then Dear Delilah kind of has the same.
Speaker 2: Last time, the same kind of a distraction that we
Speaker 2: thought we would be really funny. As a deer, you're
Speaker 2: in the middle of a question and you you're like squirrel,
Speaker 2: and you stop and then go back to the question
Speaker 2: and everybody's kind of waiting for you to say something,
Speaker 2: and then you hop up on your desk. You're eating branches,
Speaker 2: you know that type of thing. So it's really really
Speaker 2: fun Also too.
Speaker 3: We have obviously screamed the movie many times with our
Speaker 3: own staff and everybody.
Speaker 2: Last I mean, it's it's It is probably one of
Speaker 2: the funniest points in the movie. Yeah you can get
Speaker 2: a big you get a big la. Yeah, so you're
Speaker 2: you're a bitty hit in the movie. And so when
Speaker 2: those Deer Delilah action figures come out, you're gonna really
Speaker 2: be happy.
Speaker 1: I was I was going to say, like, are you
Speaker 1: guys gonna help me pick out you know which antlers
Speaker 1: I'm going to wear when we're nominated.
Speaker 2: For Very completely Children Emmy, or well it's a it's
Speaker 2: a female deer. They don't have antlers. She's more like
Speaker 2: a forest deer, like like a white tail deer. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like a grown up, like a grown up Bamby. That's
Speaker 2: exactly exactly. You did a great job. I just want
Speaker 2: to commend you because you stepped right into doing cartoon
Speaker 2: boy so easily. Many people can't do that. So you
Speaker 2: did a great job.
Speaker 1: That's because I've spent years doing cartoon voices to entertain
Speaker 1: children grandchildren. However, all of my cartoon voices end up
Speaker 1: sounding just like Dear Delilah. If you watch when people
Speaker 1: watch the movie, if they turn it on and they
Speaker 1: watch it or have their kids watch it, they're going
Speaker 1: to know it's me within like seven seconds exactly.
Speaker 3: Well, actually, one group that we did scream like they said,
Speaker 3: is that Delilah.
Speaker 1: Ever, we're like, how did you know?
Speaker 2: They said, well, how do you not know? That? Boy?
Speaker 1: It's fun? You said, You've got a new grand baby
Speaker 1: in Florida. Whenever I walk down a street in Florida,
Speaker 1: because I'm on in every single town in Florida. The
Speaker 1: only thing, you know, the only thing there is more
Speaker 1: of than alligators is radio stations that carry the Delilah Show.
Speaker 2: I Hey, it's.
Speaker 1: The one place where people stop me and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I know your voice. Recognize that voice.
Speaker 1: That's so cool. Yeah, it kind of cool, except then
Speaker 1: I feel compelled to talk to them and it's a
Speaker 1: thousand degrees.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and you're outside in the sun. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Can we just step into this little kiosk here or
Speaker 1: you can listen to me on the radio.
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: So how fun is there going to be more Lenny
Speaker 1: and Lucy movies?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, As a matter of fact, we have a Christmas
Speaker 2: movie coming out that was called The Christmas King that's
Speaker 2: coming out this Christmas. We're excited about that.
Speaker 1: I I could have I could have been a deer
Speaker 1: in the forest there. I mean, I'm thinking we.
Speaker 2: Have pats and bells around your neck. Yeah, work and
Speaker 2: add that in actually now that you mention that, and
Speaker 2: then we're gonna have We have another one coming up
Speaker 2: in the future. We're gonna be doing a Thanksgiving movie
Speaker 2: and we have an Easter one coming up as well.
Speaker 2: So we're going to hit every holiday that we can
Speaker 2: heads because that way, at leasty'll be shown during the holidays.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of fun.
Speaker 1: Mother's Day Valentines, I can help you out here I am.
Speaker 2: But if you're if you're willing to do it, we'll
Speaker 2: be happy to have you. Me Dear Delilah can be
Speaker 2: all over the place.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, And I like the action figure idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right. You're gonna have like I think, Dear
Speaker 2: the Dear Delilah action figure should have like a a
Speaker 2: laser gun that pops out of her back and like
Speaker 2: a jet that comes out as you can fly and
Speaker 2: shoot lasers too.
Speaker 1: I'm now I'm really liking this idea.
Speaker 2: Everybody's really thinking we have a deer that shoots laser now,
Speaker 2: I okay, I'm just kidding, but yeah, it'd be really fun.
Speaker 1: We have been talking about great animation. We've been talking
Speaker 1: about The Fairly Odd Parents and the Greatest Thing Ever
Speaker 1: with creator Butch Hartman and his partner Julie Ann. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk to them a little bit more after
Speaker 1: I spend a little time sharing some news of a
Speaker 1: Fabulsa's podcast sponsor with you. I'm so glad to get
Speaker 1: to share all that Mercy Ships is doing in the
Speaker 1: world with you. They travel to medical deserts, providing free,
Speaker 1: life changing surgeries to people in need led by an
Speaker 1: all volunteer crew. They've been putting their faith into action
Speaker 1: for almost fifty years. Mercy Ships is all about impact.
Speaker 1: They performed nearly one hundred and twenty thousand free surgeries
Speaker 1: to date and touched more than two million lives. But
Speaker 1: more than the numbers, it's about dreams restored and lives renewed.
Speaker 1: It's about loving someone. You can be a part of
Speaker 1: this amazing organization. When you support Mercy Ships, you experience
Speaker 1: the joy and transformation a mother seeing her child for
Speaker 1: the first time, a child finally to run and play
Speaker 1: and dream and just.
Speaker 2: Be a kid.
Speaker 1: Visit mercyships dot org to give or learn about the
Speaker 1: other ways you can get involved. That's Mercyships dot Org.
Speaker 1: My kids think my superpower is that I can teleport,
Speaker 1: because they'll hear me cooking something in the kitchen and
Speaker 1: then they'll go upstairs and I'll be doing laundry in
Speaker 1: front of the washing machine, and then they'll look out
Speaker 1: the window and I'm outside working in the garden, and
Speaker 1: they they're convinced I can teleport. They don't know. I
Speaker 1: just have the worst ADHD of any person in the universe.
Speaker 2: And well, don't learn the magic. Let's make the audience
Speaker 2: think you can.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh no no, And I let them think that.
Speaker 1: So then I'm like, and I know what you're doing
Speaker 1: when I'm not around, because I can teleport in like
Speaker 1: The Fairly add Parents and just you know, pop in
Speaker 1: and listen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right in magically exactly and so yes, and The
Speaker 2: Fairly aut Parents is now on Netflix. Season two of
Speaker 2: our new Fairly Apparents is called a brand New Wish
Speaker 2: that's on Netflix right now.
Speaker 1: Oh I did wait wait wait, back up, back up,
Speaker 1: back it up.
Speaker 2: Well I'm backing up.
Speaker 1: I did not know that this is important information. See,
Speaker 1: I'm a no screen parent. There aren't many things I
Speaker 1: have regrets over. But if I could go back and
Speaker 1: change something, I would definitely go back and not allow
Speaker 1: the children that grew up in the last generation that
Speaker 1: I raised, not allow them so much access to screen
Speaker 1: time at a young age.
Speaker 2: Well, I can, I can certainly understand, I WI. Well,
Speaker 2: that's the whole point we'd made the Garden cartoon in
Speaker 2: the first place, because even if a kid does get
Speaker 2: on a screen, we want to at least provide an
Speaker 2: option for them to watch something that's fun, something that's healthy,
Speaker 2: and something that's safe. But not boring. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: hard to do entertainment the state, but I get boring.
Speaker 2: But The Garden is like the Fairly Odd Parents, like
Speaker 2: with scripture in it.
Speaker 1: So I was gonna say, the five that I have
Speaker 1: at home now do get screen time, but I pick
Speaker 1: it and and it's one screen. We only have one
Speaker 1: screen in the house. And so we have family you know,
Speaker 1: family movie time, family cartoon time or whatever. My husband
Speaker 1: and I do a Bible study on Saturday mornings, so
Speaker 1: they get to watch something while we're doing that that
Speaker 1: we pick out. I didn't know there was new Fairly
Speaker 1: Odd Parents on Netflix, now, ma'am. Now I have a
Speaker 1: go to. But also we do have an app where
Speaker 1: the whole series lives.
Speaker 2: On, so the the Garden series.
Speaker 3: So if you were to, you know, give your kids
Speaker 3: the phone and say, hey, on this app, you can
Speaker 3: watch anything because all the episodes are there, the songs
Speaker 3: are there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell the Garden cartoon app. So check that out.
Speaker 2: That's on the app store and you'll love that. And
Speaker 2: but yeah, Fairly Out Parents on Netflix, it's called a
Speaker 2: brand New Wish. We are a new Wish. That's the
Speaker 2: episode or the series name, and basically cosmon One, they
Speaker 2: get given to another child and so it's the adventures
Speaker 2: of that new child with Cosmon Wana. So it's really
Speaker 2: a blast.
Speaker 1: So you guys haven't slowed down at all, is what
Speaker 1: you're saying.
Speaker 2: God, No, what is of those were? Yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: bad word. And no, we're not of less. You know
Speaker 2: we we we just we're both in our sixties now
Speaker 2: and we are we realize like, look, we just love life.
Speaker 2: We love doing what we do like you do, and
Speaker 2: we don't we don't want to stop and we love
Speaker 2: doing it. I've got for it all. Yeah, I want
Speaker 2: to get to Heaven to be exhausted and say, well
Speaker 2: we gave it is. We tried everything, you know, and
Speaker 2: you know our goal. Now, let's just make some awesome
Speaker 2: kids entertainment. We just opened Butch Hartman Studios, which is
Speaker 2: my brand new studio, which is going to be doing
Speaker 2: uh show after kids entertainment, show, family entertainment, Christian entertainment,
Speaker 2: and we really feel it's necessary at this point.
Speaker 1: Did I tell you I can do a few accents.
Speaker 2: Way you're not well, which dot its?
Speaker 1: I'm sure I could. When I'm around people that have
Speaker 1: an accent, I start talking like them, not on purpose.
Speaker 1: I'm not mocking them. I just it just happens, and so.
Speaker 2: I'm exactly the same.
Speaker 1: Isn't it weird? And then you can't stop, like do
Speaker 1: you get stop?
Speaker 2: I find their accent so enchanting and charming that I'll
Speaker 2: begin talking like a Scottish parson. What about on the
Speaker 2: Scottish parson? See you say, the boy the boys and
Speaker 2: the gouddles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the gttles and they had cuttles in their
Speaker 3: hair tuddles.
Speaker 1: See, all you'd have to do is take me to Scotland,
Speaker 1: and you know, all the kids too, and and leave
Speaker 1: me there for a few hours. And then you'll have
Speaker 1: the most durable Scottish dear that you know.
Speaker 2: There you go, I think I think Dear Delilah has
Speaker 2: to bet her Scottish cousin.
Speaker 1: There you go, Delia. My bestie Janey always laughs because
Speaker 1: she says whatever accent I try, they end up sounding
Speaker 1: like Hilda, my mother in law, who's from Costa Rica.
Speaker 1: So any accent I try, after like ten seconds, morphs
Speaker 1: into Hilda.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so Hilda. We really have to make a
Speaker 2: story about Hilda that we're all safe.
Speaker 1: There you go. Then it's perfect.
Speaker 2: I got it all right.
Speaker 1: Well, go enjoy the rest of your trip. We will
Speaker 1: definitely catch up soon and any help that I can
Speaker 1: be in any possible way. I love the fact that
Speaker 1: you're creating amazing content for young people, especially amazing content
Speaker 1: that inspires and teaches them about the greatest thing about God,
Speaker 1: in his goodness and mercy and glory and beauty and love, love, love,
Speaker 1: love love. I love that.
Speaker 2: Amen. Thank well, Agandella. We can't thank you enough, Della
Speaker 2: for being in the in the movie, but for your
Speaker 2: help and you know, telling people about the Garden cartoon.
Speaker 2: The Greatest Thing Ever movie comes out July first on
Speaker 2: streamers everywhere, and we can't wait for people to see it.
Speaker 2: Less know what they think about it.
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully everybody and their kids and their grandkids now
Speaker 1: that your new Grandma's and Grandpa's grandkids will be blessed.
