[17:07] Whatever anybody wants to talk about like we'll just go there where we can't if there's like hits of the audience.
The dealer can't when general hospital panel we try to stay away from spoilers,
like me got a couple handle this year like netflix is doing a ton of apocalyptic and post apocalyptic programming all of a sudden it's like they're all over it
search for something like that will probably stay away from the spoilers but if it's like.
No specific handle and the season has finished airing then we going with the assumption and we make an announcement beforehand in the new spoilers
you don't want to be spoiled now is probably the time to go find something else to do,
all aspects of the show and that's hard to do a few people spoiler-free,
is there is another guest this year this coming at you want to see that's not on the track.
[18:14] I am so excited about the sesame street people to not only help many played big bird but also like the original cast members that i grew up with like leafs and gordon,
i'm sure he's so excited irrationally so i am biased and only gonna sneak away at some point in the one of their pals,
oh cool I want to go back to the zombie prom real quick what is it what is the suggested attire there's it just zombie attire or is it.
Me attire prom attire most of my staff logo is on the.
I tend to go as a problem anthony.
Just had the deer run around without think when falling off of you and the any open to anything but we do definitely encourage you to dress as a zombie a zombie hunter or someone in room
okay we probably get like 90% people participating so it's a really fun fun area.
[19:17] Oh in in the password in my i am i incorrect in believing there's gonna zombie walk as well.
You are absolutely correct and there will be one again yeah it's going to start at 8:30 from the Westin.
Will wind its way through the streets of atlanta as best as we possibly can and and at ps does on these clothes in the after that,
usually start off around nine o'clock after i do all my,
safety features and we get going and then usually just before 10 which is when the prom starts real show up at the Hilton ready to go,
how difficult is when people to get in in the past we usually do reach capacity probably,
I say 30 minutes to an hour there is a line in the very beginning but if you give it like,
tell me like you know fifteen twenty minutes after the start you can probably walking ninja if you wait too long you're definitely gonna end up waiting in line hoping at somebody house to go to the bathroom to the fuck no zero is there a bar there to.
[20:33] Yeah we were ours
jefferson and all-ages partis

everybody swear where is the aware those set up at where's the,
makeup set up and they are going to be in the Westin in Chastain h,
or did you which allowed me to double my programming which I thought was a wonderful idea back in January.
[21:56] This year we're actually doing forty eight hours of programming over the course of the forty,
which is about twenty hours more than we did last year and when the we're bringing we're bringing everything we're bringing our a game well since we're since we're on the topic of where is your.
Tracker.
[22:16] We are in the Westin on the 6th floor rooms Chastain F through H so if you enter off the street we're pretty much those first rooms on your left.
It's not awkward table they make you walk around why is a one of the just move that.
I'm convinced it's bolted to the ground,
you know it's nice that they leave this out cuz if you need to put something down or whatever but it's of course I've no use because it's in the middle and I can't even when it's not what you say it is.
[22:55] I'm sure they per flower arrangement on and it really love.
That's okay.
[23:12] Yeah the others were like they're so busy awkward tables and you found us gonna be right there.
[23:20] And so in we set off the street you me off the street right yeah.
The main street there when you locate so what other what are things you got going this year's or any other panels definitely wants to to to to highlight here.

[23:53] The health of the mental health profession psychologist psychiatrist like they're all going to come in and they're going to talk about,
basically what an apocalypse would do to someone so like PTSD depression,
like herd mentality,
like all that kind of stuff and take a look at like shows like The Walking Dead and kind of talked about like why the characters might make some of the decisions that they make when you're sitting there shouting at your TV screen why why
