I'm yeah that's true I'm excited about. the day I'm excited about what we're. about to do some this is special for us. it goes way back we hope that this will. become special to you as a watcher of. Good Mythical Morning now you know we've. been friends for a really long time. since first grade and we began doing. creative things together very early on. and one of the things that we did that.

there is a record of is a screenplay. that we wrote called gutless wonders now. we didn't complete the screenplay but. link because he's very good about. keeping things together kept this. screenplay it had typed pages that I had. typed at my Dad's Law Office listen to. it just listen to it listen to the. creativity that just kind of fluffers. out of it and then it has a bunch of. written pages that link you don't fluter. quite as well uh that linol put together. and then he kept all these together and. then we broke this out recently and we. said you know what we ought to do cuz.

there's like 13 scenes of the movie that. were actually completed uhhuh well they. were written they were written I think. we shot some opening scenes but then. those tapes have been lost and they were. tapes VHS tapes and now we have nothing. to show for it except this manuscript. which Jason has been so kind as to write. up in the script format so we could at. least read it to you uh we're thinking. over subsequent Fridays uh if if you'll. have us so we'll see how far we get. today we got two or three scenes here.

that we're going to got to go through. but I think it's going to be fun we're. going to have a lot of fun we hope that. you have a lot of fun and just keep in. mind there's a lot of screen direction. we kind of as we go go back and look we. realize there's a lot more screen.
