Hey, grown-ups! The Cat in the Hat cast

0:02

is a new podcast from Wondery, perfect

0:04

for the whole family. Join the Cat

0:06

in the Hat and your favorite Dr. Seuss characters

0:09

as they get whisked away on a new adventure

0:11

every week.

0:13

Fish dreams of creating his very own

0:15

polite and quiet podcast.

0:18

That is, until he gets a surprise visit

0:20

to his Fishbowl podcast studio from the

0:22

Cat in the Hat himself, and it becomes

0:25

very clear that the Cat has other

0:27

plans for the podcast.

0:28

And those plans are the opposite of

0:30

quiet.

0:31

The Cat may be disruptive, but it turns

0:34

out he's also a great help to get Fish out

0:36

of all kinds of predicaments. Bursting

0:38

with music, silliness, and rhymes,

0:41

the Cat in the Hat cast encourages us all

0:43

to find fun that is funny in

0:45

every episode. Sing along to new

0:47

favorite songs, try your look at Titanic

0:50

tongue twisters, and have some fun with

0:52

wondrous wordplay, and most importantly,

0:54

bring your family along for all of the adventures

0:56

in the Cat in the Hat cast. I'm about

0:59

to play a clip from the Cat in the Hat cast. Enjoy

1:24

Hello and welcome to the first ever

1:26

episode of The Fish Cast,

1:28

a very well-behaved podcast.

1:32

Yeah, he's a fish, it's his podcast.

1:35

Welcome to The Fish Cast. Doobly

1:38

dee, bladdy da. I'm

1:41

your host, a small fish in

1:43

a fish bowl on a desk in a podcast

1:46

studio. I like things

1:48

to be simple and organized,

1:51

and that's why

1:51

for this show, I've come up with

1:54

a prioritized list of exciting

1:56

topics to

1:57

discuss, such as... being

2:00

loud, chewing with your

2:02

mouth closed, and water.

2:05

Shout out to water. It's where

2:08

I live. Of

2:10

course, this show won't be all

2:12

about me. We're also going to learn in

2:14

a structured fun kind of way

2:17

with some segments I've planned, including

2:19

a visit to the word Emporium

2:22

and a great song about one of my

2:24

favorite letters of the alphabet. But

2:26

first, I want to take a minute to talk about two

2:29

of my favorite things, peace and

2:31

quiet, also known

2:33

as solitude. Did

2:36

you say solitude?

2:39

What? No. I mean, well, yes.

2:41

Say no more, fish, for I, too,

2:43

enjoy the joys of being

2:46

alone. Say,

2:47

you're that cat, that cat

2:50

in the hat. I certainly do

2:52

not need your help.

2:53

Of course, you do fish, for

2:55

nobody does peace and quiet quite

2:58

like me.

2:59

Cat of that, I have

3:01

no

3:01

doubt. I'm so glad you agree.

3:03

No, I didn't mean. No, ah, fish.

3:06

It's quiet time, so let us hush

3:08

up and enjoy being alone. Well,

3:11

I guess that is the idea. Together.

3:14

Wait, what? Cue the theme song.

3:17

But we already did the theme song. Please forgive

3:19

me. I thought there just might be a more

3:21

fun way to do a theme song. Hit

3:24

it! Ah. The

3:27

cat in the hat is a-coming your way. The

3:29

cat in the hat brings joy to our day. And

3:31

see the adventures starting to come

3:33

along. It's

3:35

the cat in the hat, sir. No need to fear.

3:38

It's the cat in the hat, so we can get weird.

3:41

And we may come spend 10 last-year

3:43

days in song. The cat

3:45

in the hat, sir. Oh, your dog and your bunny. The cat

3:47

in the hat, my pup. It's

3:49

funny. Oh, I'm tight. You have a

3:51

fire for me. Come with us. Come

3:53

together. Oh,

3:57

what a pine-themed song. Don't

3:59

you think, fish?

3:59

Yes, it was quite catchy. Wait,

4:02

hold on a minute, Cat. This is my

4:04

podcast, not yours. Of course,

4:07

of course. I'm only here to

4:09

help. You wanted to enjoy some peace

4:11

and quiet, and I say yes. Let's!

4:14

Well, if that's actually what you're

4:16

here to do...

4:17

Anyway, like I was saying, the

4:20

best part of solitude is that.

4:22

Well, who could that be? Oh, I

4:25

hope you don't mind. I invited a few

4:27

friends over to come help us. How close

4:29

with what? In being alone. What?

4:33

Say, would you be a pal and get the door? How?

4:36

I'm a fish in a fishbowl. Oh,

4:39

your horse is his coming! Don't

4:42

worry, fish. I always carry a set of

4:44

spare robotic fishbowl legs right here

4:46

in my hut. What?

4:49

How did you do that? No

4:52

time to explain. Robot legs,

4:54

take this fish to the door. No, wait.

4:56

I have to hold it to show! I can lend

4:58

a hand. What's coming up next? I

5:01

was going to play a song about my favorite

5:03

letter, but you can't... Don't worry, I'll take

5:05

care of it. You don't know how to work this

5:06

down, boy!

5:08

Ah, let's see. A song,

5:11

he says. Oh, this must be one of those

5:13

variety shows. Delightful!

5:15

So how do I play a song?

5:16

Oh, wow. There are so

5:19

many buttons in this studio. Uh,

5:22

maybe this one? Eh.

5:23

No, that's not right. How about this one?

5:27

Not that either. Ah, this

5:29

one. Definitely not. Well,

5:32

I can't figure out how to play a song,

5:34

so I have no choice but to

5:37

sing it myself. But how? I'll

5:40

need some help. But from whom? Oh,

5:43

I know. Where are those little cats?

5:46

Right. They're here in my hat. Oh,

5:49

little cats, time to come

5:51

out and play.

5:52

Little catty,

5:54

little catty, little catty!

5:56

Beautiful. Thank you. Alright,

5:59

little cats, listen up! Here's a song I wrote

6:01

about the letter A. It's in the key of

6:03

Z-flat. Watch me for the changes and try to

6:05

keep up, okay?
