Full Show PT 2: Wednesday, March 11 [Vault]

0:00The sun shining, birds are singing and all feels right in the world. Until the season changes and suddenly you lose your motivation to get out of bed. In fact, one in five people experience some form of depression no matter the season or time of year. At the American Psychiatric Association Foundation, our vision is to build a mentally healthy nation for all because we want you to live your best life and be your best you all year round. Please visit mentallyhealthynation.org to learn more. The virtue. Alright, so things are sort of getting a little nasty outside right now because it's, I mean, it's the last couple of days of shopping here. And I think that there are some retailers that purposely may put as few items that are hot on the shelf as possible to create some kind of hysteria. Totally. So really anything can happen over the next four days. You could use, you were just talking about the Wii. Like that would be a perfect example. I mean, they were struggling with that for the first year it was out, you know, like in Nintendo's famous for this.

1:00Like they know that they're going to sell one million game systems. So they manufacture 600,000. Just to create the hysteria and the excitement and keep it in the news and everything. Sometimes it just gets out of hand. But then it opens up to a whole bunch of other situations. Jessica, I went to the mall both days. Jessica and I went on Sunday. And like the parking lot, even malls not really as crowded as I've seen it in Christmases past. But people still get oddly competitive for the close-up parking spot. Oh, sure. Even though two rows away, there's five empty spots. Like I think it's just this animal instinct that comes out. Like people, you know, their endorphins are up. The adrenaline's pumping and they're like. That's more about wins and losses at this point. And then you have the people, the people who are calling our, you know, retail rant line. The employees who have just been dealing with it since the day after Thanksgiving. Jessica and I had to get a gift certificate from yet. Somebody who is so salty, never once made eye contact with us. Just mad at the fact that we were purchasing something from them. So there's all these factors into place, which got me thinking.

2:04Somebody, this holiday season, has had to have gotten into a physical altercation while buying their Christmas gifts. 404-741-Q100. Now, it could be a situation like, how about this maneuver? You're in the parking lot and you're there, your blinkers on. But the car backs out in the opposite, reverses out in the opposite direction. Kind of seed blocks you. Yeah. And backs out and then takes off allowing a car to come from the other side. And move into your spot, even though you were clearly there first with your signal. And you're in your spot. That happened to somebody they snapped and got out and went out and knocked on the window. I bet that's happened already. Yep. That could be one. How about this? Like Bert said, the toy or whatever the last, you know, the hot item of the season is. And the last one is on the shelf. And two people go for it at the same time. Somebody started shoving. You've seen already the video of, like, when Walmart opens up for a big ol' sale. How people are running over each other. Somebody got kids to get to those sales.

3:05Someone got killed. Two people in America died the day after Thanksgiving. From shopping. From shopping. That is. They lost their life because they were trying to get a discount. I'm wondering. That is so sad. What if there's an employee of the store, like I was just thinking, what if we just, the, the girl that we were buying the gift certificate from yesterday? What if we just decide to antagonize her and just push her and push her and push her to the point where she threw the gift certificate at us? That could be a point. That could be a point. That could be a point where, because they've probably had those, like, grazing out of me moments where you've thought about doing something. Yeah. But then the flash is back and you didn't do it where you're working in retail. Yeah. You want to like, you want to, you want to slap somebody or you just want to push one of your customers, but you normally don't, but you snap. A couple of days ago, you're like, you know what? It's going to be worth it. I could have gotten into an altercation this weekend. I was at Macy's actually looking in the men's section for something from my dad. Yeah. And it was looking specifically for this one color and one size, but there wasn't a ton left on the rack and there was another woman on the rack and we were like circling each

4:05other. And I was like, if she puts her hand on the only large in gray, I am going to smack her. Here's the one that I got getting on Friday is you're up at the counter and the salesperson is helping you get somebody has to come. They think that they're asking you a quick question. You can ask you a quick question. Yeah. Get the end of the line you came. Right. Look, I'm, can't you see she's busy right now? Why is your question more important than what's going on with me right now? Because they're not purchasing something and you are. Move away. Move away. How about this one when you're on the rack and you're looking at stuff and somebody comes along and looks at the same rack and kind of closes your gap? Yes. You're like, hey, dude, how was your first? Right. I will smush your fingers in between these hangers. They should make a risk for covering them all. Hey, Michelle. Good morning. You're part of the bird show. Good morning. So Saturday I'm at Walmart. It has been our Walmart. We've got a cart with a few items in it. Guy in front of the lesson line has a soda. We're thinking great. We'll get in. We'll pay real quick.

5:05Yeah, then comes his entire honorage with two carts. He was just holding the spot line for them. We can't do that. That's not right. No! We can't do that. And they're kind of bitching and yeah, they backed the cart into me. I'm purpose? On purpose. I mean, I was bitching at him. But yeah. So what'd you do back? I had to bite my tongue. Oh, you did. You took the high road. Yeah, I tried. I mean, I was looking what they had, what we had. I was pissed. But if every other line had six people in it, so. Yeah. It's a very Christian of you to take the high road. Oh, thank you all. Merry Christmas, guys. Love you. You can't call out those bitching at him to the point where he hit me with his cart and they go. And Merry Christmas. Happy holidays, everybody. And I'll see you in him back. Good morning, Ginger. You're on Q100. Hi. How are you? Okay. What's up? I'm sorry. Did you get into fight? Yeah. Actually, it was one of the first things that Jeff talked about. This was last Christmas. I've been circling the parking lot for a good 20 minutes.

6:08And I finally found a parking spot. I found this woman walking to her car. And I was following her. And so she finally got to her car, told me where it was. I put on my blinker. And there was this other guy on the opposite side. And as soon as she did the reverse pullout, as soon as she pulled out, he tried to zip in while I cut him off and almost hit the sucker. But we were not having it. No one was going to win this fight. It was hilarious. But I eventually did win. We got the police security involved, but it was pretty funny. I mean, I think we have to brainstorm on some generic parking rules. So because most of the calls coming in have to do with parking spots and fighting. Like, I don't believe in the whole. If you're first in the aisle, that you get the entire aisle of cars. No, it's just the spot closest to you. I agree with you. There's something that if you are the first car. So you can sit at the end of the aisle.

7:08So you can sit at the end of the aisle. That means anybody that leaves on that entire aisle, you've got the next spot that's available. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. How about this one? It's going to be the one you're specifically going for. Yes. Here's one that only applies, I think, during the holiday season. Because any other time of year, it's okay. But during the holiday season, the pull through is not allowed. You are not allowed to pull into a spot. And if the one across from you opens up, keep coming through. Agreed. Because that jacks up anybody in the next aisle. If anybody's one aisle over and they see that, you can't do that. Agreed. And a blinker, a blinker marks territory. Yes. So if your signal is on and it's turning right, you know. And somebody comes from the other side. Because of the way the first car backs out. If they can technically physically get in the spot, it doesn't matter. Because you peed on it with your blinker. You have the responsibility, too, as the person that's pulling out of your parking spot. You know who got who was in line first, waiting for your spot. So you have to strategically pull your car out and block the later person and let the earlier person in.

8:09I agree. Now, what do you guys call on when say you're driving along and you don't notice that this person is just about to put it in reverse? So like the front of your car has already almost passed them. You passed them. If you have to reverse in order to pull back in position. You would have to reverse to pull back in when you lost it. If there's nobody behind you. Yeah, because that timing is the worst. Yeah, it is. Like just when you're pulling by him and you're like, you can see the little white lights for the reverse going. You're like, ah! Have you done this one where you're in one aisle and you see somebody pull out in their next aisle. And you go 130 miles. Yeah. And following the customer is never allowed. I had to disagree with you on that. See, I think you can stalk people. I think I can't. Especially during the holidays, especially in these last couple of days. Yeah. I check out everybody behind you and then what they're doing is they cut across two rows. Anyways, because they forgot where they parked. They're going to use the panic button on the remote. I know. I do that almost every time. I'm like, well, two seats to the front of my car. So the people that are coming out of the mall could sit on top of my car and I'll give them a ride right to their park class.

9:13Good morning, Kenny. You're on Q100. Hey, guys. How you doing? All right, man. Love your show. Thank you. Yes, all of the clinics. And I was in the front parking lot and I was circling around with my wife for about a good 30 minutes. And you know how that is. And then I finally found a spot after really literally 30 minutes. And I waited. The person got in their car. They were pulling out. And they did what Jeff was talking about where they pulled to the other side. And someone came from the other side and I said, look, that's mine. I started pointing at them. And the lady that was pulling out, even started pointing at me when the other guy knew that I was my spot. Well, she pulls away and he pulls in the spot anyway. So then I go by. I pull down my window. I start yelling at him and we do the whole flicking off thing. And he just didn't care. So then I pulled around another 20 minutes and finally found a spot for my wife. I'm going to go key it's car. And she says, don't do that. Please don't do that. He's in Mercedes. Just leave him alone. I said, okay. Well, whatever. Well, let's go inside.

10:13We'll shop. And if I come back out and he's still out here, then I get my turn. And she said, well, okay, whatever. She just told me because she didn't think I would do it. So using it as a sign from the shopping godset. If you go shopping, you come out. His car is still there. Then it's eligible to get keyed. Exactly. The Lord of Linux. Exactly. Well, we gave him ample time. We were in there for a good hour and a half. And came out and turned off his car was still there. So I took the liberty of going and pulling out my key and doing it. I took a couple of scratches that is dorked. Took another one down the hood. Oh. You went at it. You had like rage. Oh, yeah. I went at it. I took a couple of his doors plus his fender in the hood. So I don't know how much they came out to, but it was a nice looking machete. He probably feel good. And he came out and he knew exactly who that is. It felt really good. I mean, I didn't really care that anybody was looking. They're probably knew what was going on. Damn, dude. That's brutal. He's looking lose their minds this time of year, man. You're really bad. Because everybody has so much more on their to-do list than normal.

11:15And we all already pack our schedules so full anyway. So it's like adding, there's just not enough hours in the day to get everything done. And then it takes longer to do the simple things. I don't know. I said this to Jen last week. I mean, it's part of the holiday season. To stress yourself out about it. But think about it. I mean, just go back to last 10 years. Have you gotten it all done? And I'm 95% of you will answer that question. Yes. So this is all part of the tradition of holiday. You got to stress yourself out about it. But at the end of the day, it's going to get done because it has for the last 20 years. But you can't think about that when you're... No, because you're still going to like plug through it on. Like, you got to get it all done. It's not just going to happen on its own. It's going to happen. You know? The virtue. Richard, grab a mic. How you doing here, man? How are you? Oh, I should turn your mic on. There you go. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you? Good. Thanks for coming in. Thank you. That's a little richer yesterday. This is going to be a little bit like... We're going to be fishing with a very short line here.

12:17There are so many variables this morning to try to find a woman to go on this trip with him. So let's take it from the very beginning here, Richard. You were... Just tell us the dating history, how the trip became available, where you are with it now, where she is with it now. Just take the floor. Okay. So I met this girl, Jill, about a year ago at a party I hosted. And I was going to ask her out, but she'd left before I could ask her out. Then I ran into her this year at a Halloween party. I asked her out, and we dated for about a month and a half. She's an amazing girl. Things went well. I thought, you know, this... Who knows? So I wanted to do something fun for New Year's. And I'd asked her, hey, would you be interested in going on a cruise? She said, you know, it might be a little early for us to go on a cruise. But yeah, it sounds like a fun idea. No problem. A few days later, she sends me a link to a carnival cruise and says, hey, what about this one out of Tampa? I'm going to be in Orlando. It kind of works out. All right, fine. So, things are going well. Went out a few times after that. And she took me to dinner and said, hey, by the way, we need to talk.

13:17Things aren't working out. I'd like to see other people. But I'd like to go on the cruise. So she was breaking up with you, but she still wanted to go to the Caribbean. Well, it was just an awkward situation because of the timing. It was 12 days out before the cruise departed. So, you know, who am I going to find last minute? My friends are all out of town. So, you know, my friend Pam said, hey, why don't you go on the birch show? And... Thanks, Pam. Thanks, Pam. What's up? Yeah. So, she said, don't go on the birch show. She said, don't go on the birch show. She's like, this story is strange enough to be on the birch show. This is odd and twisted. Let's shoot him an e-bam. They've loved this. Yeah. And she was right. Wow. And here you are. Here we are. So, yeah. So, I'm looking to see if there's anybody that, you know, a young attractive girl down the earth might be interested in going on a trip. 29th through the third. To Cosmelle and Grand Caymans. Okay. So, there's a bunch of details we still got to work out here. First of all, 29th through the third.

14:17All right. So, you'd have to be available to 29th through the third. He doesn't have transportation to get you down to Tampa at this point. There's no flight. Right. So, you need to have to drive yourself or fly down. So, that's what. Round trip ticket costs you how much? Four or five hundred bucks. It was... Okay. You might be able to even find something less than that. So, that's Monday through Saturday. So, that's next Monday through Saturday, correct? Just to give people... I know, if they're in their cars and don't have a calendar, then that gives them... Weak from today. Yeah. You have to be in Tampa. Okay. Okay. So, you're going to have to find your own way down to Tampa. But as soon as that happens, then you're on the cruise. Tell us a little bit about who you might be looking for. Ideally. Ideally? Someone in late 20s, early 30s, that's fun, adventurous, like to travel. Someone that would be fun to hang out on a cruise, even though we don't know each other well. It's just... You know. That's such an odd request to say, hey, I don't know you, but let's go on a cruise. I know. It is. You know, and someone that's adventurous enough to do that. I think that's the first part of it. It's just acknowledging, okay, for the first 24 hours, this is going to be weird.

15:18Right. So, you're sharing a cabin together. Yeah. There's one stay room. There's two beds that are separate, but could push together. It is a queen bed if needed. Okay. So. But if not, you could sort of keep them separate. Yeah. Right. See as much or as little of me as you need throughout the cruise. Okay. Is it a little, little, little, little, bitty room? I've been on those cruises before. I've been on a couple of them. And some of them are really teeny. And there are others where you could actually escape from somebody. It was the last minute booking. So, about the only thing available was a medium-sized room. Sorry. Okay. And does she need a passport? Yes. Okay. It needs a passport. Really fine question. And let me just say. And I guess to acknowledge the fact that, why should a woman feel safe with you on a boat for five days? Because I think for women, that's... Absolutely. I mean, we've got to worry about that. Yeah. You're sharing a room with a strange man for five days on a boat. Yeah. It's a good point. I think that it needs to be addressed. You got to tell us a little bit about it. I have references if you need. No, I mean, I'm a good guy. I'm a true gentleman. I don't really know how you can back that up other than references, but...

16:20Burtle vouch for me, right? Well, I've talked to him for like four minutes. Yeah. I've seen him today. Do you feel comfortable telling us what you do for a living? Yeah. I'm a software engineer for a company here in Atlanta. And... Where'd you grow up? Oklahoma. Oklahoma. Good family. You still in touch with your family? I am. Flying there for Christmas. Do you love your mama? I do. I'm good. Do you have siblings? Yes. One sister. I'm trying to ask all the first date questions. Where'd you go to school? Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State. Okay. Are you a big football fan? Not so much. Okay. What do you do in your spare time at golf? You have... I mean, hobbies. I have hobbies. I like to do adventurous things. Like the Burt Show. It's pretty high on the list. Yeah. I like flying in planes. Like by planesover Atlanta.com. That kind of thing. Mm-hmm. And just going out to eat at restaurants. Trying new things. And going along those lines. Like when you're on a cruise and you get to your port. Then you have activities that you can do on, you know, while you're on land. What are some of the things that you'd like to do? The excursions. Well, I've purchased two excursions. One in the Grand Cayman, which is snorkeling with the Stingray.

17:22It's Stingray city. And then in Cosmell. They're doing the dolphin push pool swim. So the dolphin gets to pull you around. Yeah. Very nice. And any given weekend, what do you generally do? I'm just trying to give them a better sense of who they'll be hanging out with. Okay. Hang out with friends. A lot of parties at my house or at other people's houses. Other than Midtown. So it's a very social area, which is where I met Jill, actually. And so I just enjoy going to restaurants and clubs and hanging out and talking to people. You over this girl? Yeah. You are. And how old are you? Yes. 37. 37. Okay. That's good. Okay. Yeah. What's your sign? Libra. Libra. Okay. Libra. Some people. 37. Have you ever been married? No. No kids. Never married. Okay. Any long term relationships? Of you. How long? What's the longest? Two years. Two years. Okay. Most romantic thing you ever did for a woman. Took her out of cruise. Trying to take her out of cruise.

18:22You say that you've traveled a lot. Where are some of the places that you've gone? I had a friend that lived in Amsterdam. So I traveled with him around Europe. I went skiing in the French Ops and went to London and Paris and mostly Europe. What's your favorite place in Europe? I think Paris was fun. Okay. When's the last time you cried? What? When's the last time you cried? Trying to show your sense of it. It's been a few days. It's a good movie. What'd you say? I don't remember. You cried over a movie. Yeah. What was it? I don't remember now. This is very defining right here. You're back. You're back. You don't have to give him crap already. No. I wouldn't know what it is though. But it's very, very defining, I think, for a moment. Yes. Do you like, how do you like emotional movies? It's a talent day of night. Because I busted up at the end of the thing, too, man. What guy did it? Sure. Are you a religious guy? A spiritual guy? I am a Christian, but I wouldn't say I'm spiritual. Okay. I feel like I'm pulling teeth here, Richard. Give us some. I know, you feel awkward. The whole thing is awkward. It's like the first day, yeah. It should be when I can put dude off photos online. So when I can say that, I'm gonna put it in here. No.

19:22I hear Shell who can vouch for you. Okay. Good morning, Shell. You're on Q100. Good morning. Hello. Hey, I just called because I heard a friendly voice on the line, and I'm calling the voucher Richard. All right. What can you tell us about him? I work with Richard. We've worked together for several years. We've traveled on business, and hung out with friends. We just played tennis together. Yeah. We've just done the normal stuff. He's a great guy. A good catch for anyone, so. You would recommend him to one of your girl friends. Absolutely. Okay. You don't have any girl friends, do you? Do you have any? Yeah. Yeah. Just a couple of days, if you do say. I'll start darling for this disease, and then one's available. Songs are gonna passport in a week off. That's right. That's good to go. Here is Emily. Good morning, Emily. You're on Q100. Good morning, bitch. Hey, Emily. Hi, guys. Good morning. What's up? I'm just going because it's a very intriguing, and it sounds like my kind of thing. Okay. Emily, Richard. Richard, Emily. Go ahead, Emily. Hi, you. I loved to cruise.

20:22I usually cruise. I don't know, at least once or twice a year. And for the past two and a half years, I haven't been able to. And I always try to take time off in January. So I'm going to be doing that. What about you, Emily? What would you like to know? What do you like? I am, let's see. Well, first of all, I'm 37. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. And I guess you would describe me as cute and fine and petite. I don't know. People say I'm attractive. I think I'm so much attractive. And I think it's more of my personality that is important. Very fun and just like to try new things. All right, here's what I think we're going to handle this. We're going to put up two ways that you can communicate with Richard here. Okay. And he is going to go out with as many of you as he wants to over the next 24 hours. So he's going to go out to either lunches or dinners or talk to you on the phone or do email back and forth whatever. And then he'll come in here tomorrow morning and go, look, I had four dates yesterday.

21:22They lasted 20 minutes. Here's who I'm taking on the cruise or it might not be anybody. Right. You know, who knows how many emails or how many calls we'll get. You need to like set up shops somewhere and just have people come in like interviews. Okay. Seriously, because you've got to go through the time. Crazy fun, right? All right. So again, I mean, you have to be available on the 29th. You have a passport, right? Uh-huh. All right. You've got to get your butt on down to Tampa. Mm-hmm. And then from there, Richard's going to take over. Okay. Nice. All clear. Very clear. It turns out like an adventure. You get your air showing down to Tampa, but you're going to take care of that ass after that. All right. So we set up an email address and it's online right now at q100Atlanta.com. I would suggest because Jen's first thing was, well, let's see a picture of him. Yeah. I think that's only fair that if you send him a picture also. Sure. Yeah. Definitely exchange pictures and, you know, as much information as possible, like is if you were online dating. But just much more quickly. Right. Right. I mean, it's the turnaround on this is very, very quick.

22:22You got to be gone on the 29th. You got to be in Tampa on the 29th. All right. Richard, anything else you want to say before I give the phone number out for the voicemail? Also? No. No, you're ready to do this. We're going to do this. It's a strange, isn't it? It is. Let's see what we can find. All right. All right. The email is up online right now at q100Atlanta.com. So is this picture? Or you can call him. We are taking the last calls off the retail rant line. And we're just going to use that one over the next 24 hours. 404-255-3535. But give us a couple of minutes. And then Richard will call some of you guys back here, you know, after the show. And say, look, let's meet for lunch today or you have time at two o'clock. And he may spend 20 minutes with you. He may spend 10 minutes with you. It may just be a phone call. But he's got to do this quickly. He's got 24 hours to choose one of you to go on this vacation with him. Down to the Caribbean. Good luck. Good luck. Good luck. The Birt Show. If you are listening yesterday at this time, the Birt Show talked about our superficial

23:24resolutions. Not the real deep ones. Like, I'm going to be better at time management. I'm going to be more sensitive, blah, blah, blah. I want to catch a Marlin next year, dammit. Yep. That's my superficial resolution. Yeah. I want to win a prize on a game show, a cash or a dresser. I want to play a decent 18 holes of golf and Wendy. I want to be dating an NFL player and be in the family and friend section by the 2009 season. And then there was Melissa's also. I love geek things and some of the things I like is like animation and gaming, right? And I always am fascinated by an anime or in gaming or whatever that all the people that get the jobs to voice those characters in the game or in anime or animation or whatever. Cartoon network or whatever Japanese anime, whatever. So my goal for superficial goal for 2009 is to to voice something either in gaming or anime animation something, even if it's just a one word thing so that my voice can be on some kind of animation. Cool for you. That was cool.

24:24I have no idea how the hell I'm going to do it. But I'm going to try. You know, that was Melissa yesterday on the show. Yes. And I'm curious why I'm being sectioned out. Because you're going to get closer to your resolution, your superficial resolution this morning than the rest of us. Okay. Todd Harris, come on. Step right up. This is Todd Harris from high-res studios. That was it. Yeah, I just wanted to just say hi to you on the studio. Yeah. That was great. This is a complete surprise to Melissa. Oh, this is awesome. Hi. Well, Michal, who is here with me and myself are from high-res studios. We're an alpha-red-a-based video game developer. And we're fans of the show. We heard about the superficial goals and we wanted to come here and help make it happen for you. Oh, that'd be awesome. Yeah. We are right now in the middle of development of a major game production. Okay. This is a four-year development cycle. It's a computer game, a massively multiplayer online computer game. And we have parts and we want to cast you for voice. And we want to make it a stretch goal, if you will, for 2009. Okay.

25:24But Hall maybe can fill you in on parts two and three. Okay. Wow. Okay. That's a multiple parts. That's awesome. We're actually going to help you overachieve this goal. Okay. We're going to have a chance to not only have your voice in the game, but also have your face on in-game here. Oh! So Melissa will be able to play her own self in a video game? That's right. Oh! That's awesome. There's more. There's more. Even beyond that, you have a chance to have your moves immortalized in a video game with motion capture technology. Awesome. Wow. Is that the thing where she's like in a green room and they've got all the things on her arms? That's exactly right, yes. A little golf ball looking thing. Hyros has one of George's only motion capture studios. So if you see the movies, you're at the black suit, you have the golf ball, look ping-pong ball, look in things on you. Yay! We get you dancing, doing your moves, and that will actually be projected on your 3D in-game character. Oh, that's awesome. Oh, that's great. That's great. I think you can sell my game a dragon con and then I'll be a superstar dragon con!

26:27So when you come to the studio, I mean we know you have Geek Crat. Absolutely. You're a dragon con. You've been to the trek, you've been to the convention. My brother and I are like the Geek siblings of the family. He's a programmer up in Nashville. He's going to be so jealous. He's going to freak out. That's awesome. Do you guys have like a specific character in mind for her already? We have a few characters and when she comes to the studio, we can kind of pass those by and work on them and let you guys in on the process as we do that. That's awesome guys. Thank you so much. That is great. Which one of you was listening yesterday? Like when the light bulb went off? Well, that was myself. Okay. And so basically we heard, you know, we just definitely wanted to come down and make it happen. That's awesome. That is so exciting. That is great. Do you guys do a whole bunch of these video games here right here in Atlanta? Well, this is actually the studios formed with people from Atlanta and California, Texas. People we've relocated that have done a lot of games before, including some massively multiplayer computer games like City of Heroes and other console games like Call of Duty.

27:32But we brought these folks together to make global agenda. And this is actually the first game out of high-res studios, which is really George's largest homegrown game developer. So it's about 45 animators, environment artists, character artists, programmers, designers all coming together to make this game. Which basically it's currently in alpha. So we have about a thousand people in Atlanta and outside testing the game. And in 2009, we plan on releasing it. Cool for you, Melissa. Awesome. That is so cool. Is this going to be like one of those naughty cop games to where I could take Melissa in the back seat of a car? Hey. Yeah, you heard that, right? Yeah, you heard that, right? Yeah, you heard that, right? They're getting so graphic now. And I just did her moves with the golf balls on. Yeah. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. This secret will finally be revealed. Cool for you. Awesome. Thank you guys so much. I'm so excited. I wish everybody could see what a little kid, Melissa looks like. Yeah. She looks like a little kid.

28:32I love this stuff. It's great, man. So now we talked yesterday and cracked me if I'm wrong. So at some point in January, you should go in a recorder voice, right? Okay. And you'll give her a script. Like after you decide on the character and everything, she goes the script, right? That's exactly right. Yeah, we'll have a script for you in January. We'll bring you to the studio to do voice recording. What would be an example of some things she might say? Like, it doesn't have to be accurate, but I just want to see how she does. Don't make me audition. No, I'm just wondering, like, what would, what would, what is the character that you have now say? Like, um, let's see. Script for Melissa. It's like a, is it, I'm some sort of made-up language? Or is it like real? No, it'll be, it'll be English. The vibe of the game, it's almost like kind of 1984 meets Mission Impossible. So it takes place on a future earth. And there's like a 1984 style government, which Melissa may be a security officer for. We'll just see. Okay. And the player actually breaks out of this world and joins player-created agencies and tries to make their own place in the world. So maybe a line, like if she's a security officer, drop your weapons and turn around.

29:32Would that be something she might say? He wants me to say that now, Doug. You want me to say that now, don't you? Yeah. As a, as an authority security officer. In the future. In the future. Oh, God. It's future voice. It's future. Wait, hold on. Future vibe. Drop your weapons and turn around. Very good. That's good. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I have to work with me, though, see? Very good. Because I'm not an actor, but I will do my best. So how do you get her face in there? That is, there's some technology that we have that works off of a photograph. Actually, a front and a profile. Yeah. We can project that on the 3D model of the character. Yay! And then the final shooting will be when you come into the motion capture studio and put on the black suit. And we can get what are called emotes, which are the special moves for characters in the game. Ha, ha, ha, ha. This is really cool, guys. You're high as a kite, right, man. That's awesome. That's awesome. Thank you to Hi-Res Studios for hooking Melissa up next year. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Now, the pressure's not on to get hold on down for me. I got to catch her.

30:32Can you make me catch in a virtual Marlin? The Burt Show.
