And so I had the pleasure of playing blackjack with a bunch of the Ni-the Knicks, John Starks, Patrick Ewing. So I sit down at a table with John Starks and John is-goes nice guy drinking Merlot. Which I thought was really weird for, we're, we're all from the Bay Area so we drink wine, we love wine.

This is when the notion of $10 Chardonnay or $8 Chardonnay really appeared for the first time. Or Merlot or Cabernet. Rather than buying wine known by a place or by something like Mountain Chablis, which meant absolutely nothing.

He goes, "Like whatever you want to drink just order it." So now I have rap videos, visions of rap videos going through my head and I turn to the waitress

So precision and concision are both your friends. And this is a quote from Merlin Mann. Does anyone know who he is?
Yes. We had a wonderful team of 35 or 40 animators, all very hand-chosen, mainly by you guys, wasn't it? But there were those doing what Merlin was saying, conveying a thinking character that's actually-- it's not just moving puppets.
And then some of it I just kind of made up. And he played me some old Merle Haggard and these guys.

And where in the development process are you right now? No. How does Merlin feel about it?
It's really wonderful to be able to help Nick bring his vision to an audience up on the screen. And I should say we actually worked with Merlin and Nick and Aardman to create a Google Doodle back in 2009, which was really cool. So you guys should check that out-- google.com/doodles.
