I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

Okay. So today, I want to talk about, so one of the things, when people ask me one of the

hardest part of my job is, I often say that I know things and I'm excited for things and I've

worked on stuff and I'm really passionate about it. And then there's like 16 months to it, two years where I can't talk about it.

Where like I've done something and then I have to wait for you guys to see it before I can talk about it.

And I've mentioned that a lot.

That's a line I use a lot.

But one of the things I never talked about is kind of behind the scenes of what is it like to know things but not to talk about them.

And so I'm going to talk a little bit about sort of from our vantage point of behind the scenes

and give you guys some insight into what it's like to see spoilers from our side of the wall,

if you will.

Okay, so once again, let me explain the timeline.

Let me start by explaining how the timeline works.

So I do advanced planning many, many years ahead of time.

And then there comes a point where eventually I start doing what's called exploratory design.

And exploratory design is a couple, I don, two, three years out. And I do exploratory design, and then we get to

design. And I do design. And when I hand design off to development, there's anywhere between

16 months and two years before the set's going to get released.

So when I hand off the set, I do my work, you know, my team and I, we work real hard, we make

something, there's just a big gap between when I hand it off, then I can go on to the next

thing, and you guys all seeing it.

So like, I always talk about how I tend to get very excited when I talk about stuff.
