But I think we're all a little biased. I think we're also a little biased. Of course, a hundred percent. Is what Noel's gonna talk about here. We're all a little biased, a little excited about what you guys are talking about. Let's do this, let's talk about some merch. Let's talk about some red versus blue zeros coming soon. Celebrate the new season with the new Agent One T. Let's right there, bam, on the screen. Let's go to Fiona, Fiona's got it. Oh, there she is, the corner. Oh, nice, nice.

You can squeeze it, you gotta squeeze it. These are fan favorites. We got the Griff Pizza t-shirt and the Griff Puma Pullover Hoodie. Torian's rocking it right now, right now. It's all backwards, it's all backwards. Directly, y'all styling, you know. Watch the show, hang out with me. Get these for the first time at RTX. All of these are up now on the Rooster Teeth Store. Brr, brr, brr, brr, brr, bam. What is that noise, what is that? That's like the hype noise. That's the hype noise. That's the official hype noise. Anytime you gotta get hype, that's just what, brr, brr. When you say hype, you have to follow it up. Does it become into a thing that when it's not even an air horn, oh, is it an air horn? Oh, it's an air horn. Yeah, it's supposed to be an air horn, right? How would you write it out, brr? Brr, brr, brr, brr, brr. I think it's a brr. So that we can sound that out. All right, we're gonna get to do it. We're gonna talk about all the things we love about this show and each other. There are a lot of things to talk about. But just so everybody knows, if you guys have a Q&A, throw it in the chat. We'll get to what we can. A lot of it we may touch on throughout the course of this. But yeah, we just kinda wanna go through here. Here's some of the exciting stories about what it's been like to work on this show. Yeah, so let's start it there. You guys wanna start us with concepts, what got you excited to get this show going in the first place? Ooh, Toreen. Tell us. Tell us everything. So I think like most of us, I've always been a fan of RVV. Like I remember watching this show like in high school, pulse high school, college, under my desk, I don't know, under the high school, over the high school. But anyway, it's always a show that I've always wanted to be a part of. And especially watching, the story of the show is very inspiring, right? Guys in a room, a bunch of Xboxes making something out of nothing, right? And that's kinda like what I'm trying to do with this show. It's obviously it's not nothing anymore. It's huge, it's everything. But we kinda wanted to take what we had and see if we can put a spin on it, see if we can do something new, see if we can do something additional. We're not trying to replace the legacy. The legacy is there. Everyone's like, where is everybody? They're still there, you guys. Like they're there, there's 17 seasons of them. Like they're there. We're trying to bootstrap something new. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Make it your own. Exactly. So, and that's really, really it. I feel like my motivation for wanting to do this is a little bit more on the simplistic side because I just wanna have fun. I think when you watch shows like this, you're like, oh man, that's cool. I have these ideas for this world and this crazy stuff. I wish I can get a chance to express them. And now we can. And I brought a lot of my friends and a lot of some super talented people like everyone on this panel and everyone that's not on the panel. Shout out to the crew, the amazing crew who are at home at their desk. Still making this happen, you guys. We are at home. Making an animated show. It was wild, yeah. With new technologies. In bedrooms. Yeah, again. In like bedrooms. So instead of like, unfortunately having to like regress and slow down, we're still going full speed. We're still pushing new technology. We're still pushing new techniques. And it's just been a blast. I don't know. How do you guys feel like when I came to you was like, let's do this crazy RVB show. I don't know. Josh, you want to go first? Josh, you go first, you go first. Yeah, I remember the day. You came out of the meeting where you kind of got like the thumbs up to do this. And you walked over to my desk and you were like, hey Josh, walk with me. And we're walking down the hall and you're like, how would you like to work on Red vs. Blue meets Fast and Furious? I was like, yes, yes please. Of course. Let's do that. Should we do it now? That's exactly what happened. I walked out of the meeting when I walked out of the said meeting with one of the RVB people. I was like, that was awesome. I was on board, man. It was two people I was looking for. I was like, where's Josh? Ah, he's over there. Okay, let me talk to Josh. And I was like, where's Noel? So, now let's go to my story real quick. He would have been right there. But you were off in the poor land. Here's how my story was. Torian goes, hey Noel. And I said, yes, I'll do it. And then Torian said, can I even tell you the idea yet? And I was like, you ain't got to, fam. I already know what's in your mind. And yes, I'll do it. If you want to have me, hey Noel. And then I said, I don't even know which side is me. I forget. But I said, yo, can I use anime inspirations? And you said, wait, hold up. Don't say your favorite one. And I said, naruto! And then it was, and that was it. And then I said, can we have gunfu? And you said, nah. But I'll leave it at that. Cause I think I won that. I think I won that one. And that was it. And that was it. And that was it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a lot of that did happen, right? There's gunfu. Is there flips on flips on flips? There are flips on flips. Yeah. And there is some naruto rivalry in there. So I think you, you got a lot of what you wanted. And when I was like writing it, and I was like. For the Hokage. The more I was writing it, I was like, oh my God. When I come to work tomorrow. I was gonna be like, naruto. I was ready. I was on YouTube looking up the old school AMVs. Then I started listening to the anime theme songs, which are just fantastic. And then before you know it, we were just, we were writing. And that was the beginning. That was the beginning. Even when I was like designing. Yeah. Even when I was like designing Hanna's character phases, abilities, I was like, for Hokage. God dang it. Yeah. I was like, naruto stuff. I can't get away from them. It's got it all. It's got action. It's got so good. It's got emotion. Woo. It's got it all. Speaking about writing these characters and creating these characters. We then went through an audition process. It's kind of how we end up with a buddy that's here on this panel. So for, you know, you try on for it there. Who are the behind the scenes? But yeah, we put out a casting call to the company. And then you guys had, we had a really tremendous response, right? With so many people auditioned for this show. The casting call, the vision, the faith. Just people were so excited to be a part of this show. We are all, the fortunate ones that are here are also still very excited about the show. But what was that audition? Reviewing those auditions for you guys. What was that like? And then we'll talk about how we chose, how you chose who you chose, right? We can take it kind of in any order. What do you guys think about the audition process? Tori, you start with Fiona. You start with Asia One. Let's start with Asia One. When I start with Fiona. Yeah, yeah. Number one. So real talk, I was like, I want, I want a black female lead. Like that was like, that was like a handful of like mishaps for me in the show, along with the crazy soundtrack. But anyway. And so I reached out to Fiona and I was like, yo, you know, take that audition. Yeah, do it. You said, you said, did you do it? Did you do it? Yeah, did you do it? And I was like, I mean, I don't mind doing it. Okay, all right, I'm okay. So I did it. I didn't expect to get picked because this is my first VO thing. So I was like, I don't know, there's probably better people there. So. Interesting enough, that's sort of by design though, right? Because I wanted a kind of like fresh voices, kind of like, you know, fresh faces and stuff like that. So, you know, the last thing that was in the back of my head when picking people was like, if they've done this before, I didn't care. Right. Like I didn't, I really just like wanted to find. Because I feel like, I feel like, and you know, you tell me, Torian, but like I feel like at the beginning, I was, I was new, but I was new, but I was like, I'm doing this for the first time. And towards the end of like, all of this like VO recording and everything, I just felt like I understood who Agent One was. Like I was just like, she's me. Like I get her. Now she is. Now she is. Now she is. But like, I definitely get her. And I feel like I got so much better if we were to compare like, first takes and like the last, like really like the sort of last takes, I, I don't know. I just, I feel like I did a lot better towards the end. And I feel like that just goes into the fact practice makes perfect. I would say Fiona, you did amazing the whole time. Okay. All day, every day. All day. I mean, I wasn't afraid of, I wasn't afraid of the process. Like I knew people were going to get better over time. They absolutely. Most people were new. Most people were fresh. I was like, Hey, I'm going to pick these people with, while keeping in mind, it'll get better. Like don't worry about it. There were some people that were like, ah, a bunch of new people. And I'm like, hey, easy to people. They'll be fine. All right. Get out of here. Get out of here. But anybody else? How did you feel about those? It's your process. Well, let's, let's see, let's see fresh. I, I would say one of my favorites was, was Hannah's. Hannah's was, the reason why I say Hannah's was so good. Is it, is it not a drama station? It happened just like a movie. Like I remember Jeb, Jeb was like, Hey guys, take a listen to this. And we were taking a listen. And we were just like, yeah, we get, oh, this is a good one. This is a good one. But then out of nowhere, we were about to make our decision. I remember me and Josh and Tor, we looked at each other and we're like, all right, we got our decision. But then Jeb was like, but wait, there's more. And then Jeb was like, we have one more. I'm sitting on the floor. I'm sitting on the floor. I'm on the floor like this. I'm on the floor like this. I'm like, all right, all right, Jeb, play it. Hey, we listen to it, man. We listen to it. And we heard it. And I just remember having this face the whole time. Ooh. And I got to want to count. I got to want to count like this. Ooh. I was like, yo, this is it. This is it. This is the one. Oh my God. It was so clear. It was so clear. Don't put the camera on me. Hannah, Hannah, how did, what was it like? What was the addition? It was absolutely terrifying. Look at that picture. Absolutely terrifying. And also, I don't, I remember Jeb reached out to me and asked me if I would be willing or interested to audition because I like Fiona had no experience, had no background and it never, I just didn't think of myself as someone who could do that. But I had told myself this year that I was going to try to take on things that scared me. And so when I got that message from Jeb, I was like, I mean, if you really want me to, I will. And I, I did. And I remember, I remember at the end of the audition talk, I came out of the booth and I talked to Tori and and Tori and like the absolute, like just coolest dude that he is. I was like, are you sure you don't want like 48 hours to think about this? Like he was basically, you guys were offering me the role. And I was like, you don't want to like take the weekend. And Tori was like, I was so, I was so like insulted. I was like, excuse me, you're great. You said the only person here not confident about you is you. And I was like, oh. Yeah, we had made our decision at that moment. We were like, yeah, well, that's face. Like, I don't know. And it was like the beauty of it is in all those sessions, what I was really listening for, I was listening for the carries and it's going to sound like I wasn't prepared. But I was listening for the characters. I was like, what is this character? Who are they? What are they sound like? And as you guys talk and as we sat in that booth and I was on the floor, I was listening and you came in Hannah, I was like, that is that character. And in my mind, because like I'm an action director at first as I heard that voice, I heard slick lines that she's taken down people and doing cool moves and all the cool, you know, emotional beats. And I was like, man, that is, I can hear that voice. So like, yeah, when you came out of the booth, I was really confused. And I was like, you're the character. As if you were in my mind experiencing the decision. I was like, what are you talking about? You're your face. Like, I don't know, why are you here? And I didn't even know what she was like. And at that point, I just was going off of cold breeds. And then when I found out like what she, like when I started seeing the stuff you were doing with her, I was like, she's way too cool for me. Like, she's way too cool. That message was not a lie. I animated her specifically to be, and I'm old copper. I always have my hand on my hip to remember she's a girl. And then, you know, I practice my catwalk. These are, I'm not making this up. I do these things. I practice my catwoman walk and I was all sassy with her moves. And when she does like cool, nice moves, she get the, ah, she get the hips. And I'm constantly thinking like, okay, Hannah, Hannah face, Hannah face. Stand. Don't work. Stand. Stand. Hannah face. Who's down? You get so cool lines and confidence. We've got a real quiet, real quiet member here. It's just sort of, you know, coolly waltzed into the role of Zeal. What was the audition process like for you? You auditioned for a bunch of stuff. I did. And always does a good job. And, but zero is the one that landed. What was it? What was it like? What were you thinking when you were auditioning for it? And then, you know, callbacks on that stuff. Yeah. You know, the open auditions were sent to the whole company. And so I actually auditioned for three characters. I auditioned for zero audition for Axel and I auditioned for West. And I, it was funny, sending the auditions and I was most positive in the, or most confident in the Axel one. I was like, I crushed it. Zero. I was like, that's okay. I was like, I got this. I got this. I got that. Yeah. I'll add to that, Christian. After you, after you. Sure. Yeah, I was gonna say. I would say the moment, I can't speak for Tori or Josh, but I would say the moment for me when I knew Christian was our zero was when I, hearing the voice, the first thought that came into my mind was, damn it, that's the voice that the anime gods were supposed to give me in real life. I can't do that. Like I would try to like, I would try to replicate it and I would be like, I knew it. No, I was like, I can't. Wait, well, how did that go? Wait, wait, wait, you got to do that. And I just couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I was like, I love what Noel would try to read those lines in video session. And I try to do it. I try to do it. When I heard Christian do it, I was like, damn it, that's too damn good. That's it. It's Christian. It's Christian. I have the same reaction to like the like we're listening. And I'm like, he's like, look, that's funny. He's like, I crushed his axel. I was like, ah, axel. But then he's like, ah, zero. And I'm like, oh, he crushed it to zero. Yeah, he did. Crushed that. He killed that. That was great. I felt the conviction. I felt that the anguish. I felt the emotion. It was all there. It was all there. Christian, you have it. You got it. You got it. I was so burning this world. And by the way, I'm still very jealous because, you know, for for me, doing a lot of the like temp audio just as like a placeholder in my head, I was like, all right, well, you're about to take a little blow to your self-esteem because when the real voices show up, you're going to feel real crappy about yourself. And then every time I would do like zero, I'm not lying for my temp audio. I put 150 percent. I did it, I put an extra. And then even with me putting extra, I still remember hearing yours and I was just like, bro, I'm just going to quit now. I'm just going to stop. Scam the money with no wealth, temp audio and I'm like, OK, this is cool. And then I hear Christian's audio and I'm like, oh, no. I was like, I need to turn some other hobbies into money. So I was like, I think I'm pretty good at yo-yoing. I got to do something different. This is not my forte. But yeah, like that was that was what it was like for for hearing Christian. And then the same thing in the booth, we were all just like, oh, oh, oh. Oh, you, you, you, you, you. Yeah. And then like it was really no well. And Jocelyn, like, hey, you got to, you got to, you got to get Christian and all that. You got to listen to his stuff. And I was like, cool, you know, because I'm like, all right. Sweet. Once again, I'm on the floor. I'm on the floor. Are we on the ground? I am always on the ground. I am on. I am like, OK, this is cool. This is cool. And he plays the zero voice. And again, I sit up on the couch. Oh. That's a test. Oh, that's it. OK. All right. And then immediately after I heard your voice when we left those like sessions or whatever, I started animating you because I, it was like fresh in my mind. And I'm like, man, what is his mannerisms? Interesting thing, Christian. I mocap a lot of your stuff. Oh, I feel like Torian's been doing everyone because I hear also I smoke up my shit. I smoke up so much. But like, but like, so like, so like, you know, you know, we showed a, we showed a sneak peek, right? And it was a very cool scene. And I mocap that scene. It was me and Noel. Noel was the father. I get to like, Torian mocaps all the cool shit. I get to mocap all the people that get like the swag. So I do it. He looked back and he did the he did the shoulder brush. That was that was I was in there. Who did this? Who did this? I see like that. That's Torian. I got to do the guy exploding, though. I got to do this. I got to do the. Yeah, he got he got he got pushed on a mat a bunch. So we're talking about mocap. We're talking about all this fun stuff. RBB comes out of the the machinima tradition, but we've got a lot of different stuff going on this season. Let's talk a little bit about you got you showed it night stuff that virtual camera, how cool that stuff was. The unreal engine, all this stuff. Let's talk about what you guys have loved about work with the tech on the show and what's been able to give it that really unique look that we're also all of it. Like I think so I'm just ingrained in like visual effects of like I try to keep up, you know, and I always look at like like our positions that receive of like, like, man, we're in a we're at a company and let's let's try to use this stuff. Let's try to like just let's try to push. Let's try to do these things. So on the unreal side, I'm using unreal kind of really came out of like a necessity. So when we got when we got to from Skirtack to Ristateef, there wasn't any room for us on the render firms. So we kind of had to turn to a real time rendering solution that actually turned out really good. It's something we've been developing over years again with a lot of the people that are not on this panel right now. Christina, Dave, you know, Billy, everyone been helping, you know, develop that stuff out. So actually using unreal engine is something we've been working on for years. We did Josh, the thing that he wrote, Human Beans. We did Unreal, the two that was cool. We did a little pilot that showed up at RCX called Action Bucks. We did that in Unreal, action battles in Unreal. So we've been picking and prodding at Unreal for a long time. But this is the first time we've used it in like a long form show. So with that, a lot of challenges have come, a lot of like crazy cool stuff is coming out and we're still working on it. But as many of you seen with the trailer and pictures that we put out, it looks great. It looks good. It looks cool. And like me, myself and a lot of people have been pioneering that when it comes to the virtual cam. So the virtual camera stuff is interesting because I think around GL time, they we had got that tech, but there was just no way for us to use it. Right. And someone showed it to me and I was like, I'll make a note of that. And when it came to like RVB and they were like, Tori, what do you want to do? I want to shoot it a certain way. Now, this ties into putting Noel and Josh on the team because those guys have live action shooting experience. Sounds like cool. How do I get them more involved? We'll shoot it like live action if we can. Now, obviously, because, you know, we have to be at home. We can't be in the studio as much as we want. A lot of that has kind of tempered down a little bit. But we still use it wherever we can. And so I really want to hear from like Noel and Josh, like, what do you guys like when I set that up and was like, here, here's a camera. And you're like, what? Shoot this. Shoot what? And then I turn the screen and you're in the environment. You're like, oh, snap. Like I'll say this for me, the most impressive thing for me was and and with me having like a director photography experience working with the with with RTCOR and the amazing RT shorts. The the most defining thing for me was carrying that camera and realizing it weighs like a pound versus like me carrying like the typical red camera. I was like, man, my shoulders don't hurt. My back doesn't hurt. I don't really care how cool this is. My body is really enjoying this. And I was like, bro, I am sold. So the Torian's like, hey, Noel. And I said, yes, to this big situation. I said to bring it back. Just had to do a quick call back. That's the most conversation I've ever talked. I'm like, hey, Noel, he's like, yes. But it is so cool to like actually, you know, because it feels very second nature to be in the scene. And the cool thing is, you know, Tori can just hit like loop and we just kind of walk through the movements and we do a quick like little rehearsal, a little quick blocking. I kind of figure out my movements. And then obviously because like you shot the giant thing like the oh, yeah. Some of it was so cool and a big, big flaming sword guy. You were there, which by the way, you, you, you asked me to run and I didn't appreciate that because my cardio is not up to up to my speed yet. So I was like, I'm like, I'm like, like Christian zero character and in Hannah's character phase are moving fast in the environment. I'm like, no, well, you got to keep up, you know, I got the cable behind me. I'm like, no, well, we're in the stick dungeon. You got to keep up with them. I got bad knees. I got bad knees. The temperature is changing. So, but, but, but it agitates my knee caps and stuff like, you know, like when the weather changes, when the weather changes, right? And then like the giant falls and I'm like, no, I was like, you got a shake. Like you got over me. I was like, yo, this camera is so light. But why are you making me run right now? Sign up my lungs. Oh, God. But anyway, I thought that was probably the the coolest aspect of it really. And again, just just being able to just. Work on my imperfections, because it's like if I do a camera move and I don't really like it too, too well, bro, you could just kind of clean that up. Just clean it up later, but you know, so far, I would say this has been super amazing to kind of start from this granddaddy of of machinima, this legacy of a show for Red vs. Blue. And then just the the the honor to to be able to introduce that legacy to this this up to date cutting edge technology. So I thought it was a really cool like juxtaposition just to get a little, you know, a little introspective in that regard. But I thought that was pretty cool to, you know, finally have these two worlds collide and then explode into a super. No, man, go to Josh really quick. I was spitting poetry right here. I was doing. He was bearing his heart and soul. Oh, Noel, we love you. We do appreciate it. Appreciate it. Yeah, the best of us. It's it's really, really cool, because yeah, we come from more of a live action background, so it was nice to like bridge that gap. But it's so cool because you're so you have so much more creative freedom. Like all you have to worry about is the camera and where the camera is going to go. You don't have to worry about the like physical limitations of a physical set. You don't have to worry about actors hitting their marks every time. They're going to hit the same mark every time, because it's this animation loop. So all you have to do is worry about like how cool am I going to make this shot and what what's the scene need? How does it need to be viewed through the camera? So it's it's awesome. Like it really it strips away everything else. So all you have to focus on is that camera work and the camera work is a huge part of this show and its style and the visual storytelling of it. So to be able to have that tech on in this show was like so so cool. And I just wish we could have used it more. Yeah, like I said, again, like we're unfortunately not in the office like for safety and stuff, so we can't utilize it as much as I have plans, I'm documents, you know, for everything I was going to throw Josh in the ocean, we're going to film this ocean scene. The ocean scene got cut. There's no respect for that. Not only not only does it it doesn't it doesn't look like any RVB that's come before it. It doesn't look like anything that we've done before at Rooster Teeth for exciting for sure. And you know, of course, got to pop in right here. They thanks again to HBO Max for being the presenting sponsor for Rooster Teeth Animation Festival with edgy irreverent late night laughs of South Park, Rick and Morty, Max originals like Close Enough and Boondocks, not to mention the action packed animated adventures in the DC universe like Harley Quinn, plus the magical animated storytelling of Studio Ghibli and the best of anime from Crunchy Roll Animation as a new home on HBO Max. I know we're all here, big fans, Docs, there's some other good ones up there. I've got I love the Boondocks, Close Enough is very dear to stupid reasons. Like, like a lot of good stuff, right? Anybody ever go back and watch Space Go Ghost? Is this a thing? Yes. Oh, yeah. We should watch that. Watching as a goal is hilarious. As a kid, I didn't understand it. I was like, we're the power agents. This is like dated slash stupid slash self aware. And it's very digestible by size. Starts to download the app or visit HBO Max.com to start your free trial. So you guys talked a little bit about the tech and some of that stuff. A lot of great inspiration goes into this show. Action packed inspiration, obviously, right? We see a little bit of that in everything that we've shown so far. One, the trailer, the theme, all jam packed. So what is it? What makes what when you walked out of that meeting and they were like, hey, Tori, you can do this. What were you thinking? What were you where'd your mind go? What was your what was your inspiration? I was just super appreciative, you know, because like it's such a the show has a crazy legacy, right? Like let's like it's one of the shows that like built the company, right? And I'm like, and I'm like, hey, I have this crazy idea. I everything that you guys hear me talk about the show is what I suggested. Like they approve this. They agree to this. I know whoever they are who are looking at and they look at the show, they're like, oh, I don't know. You approve this. You did. You did. Person, whoever that is. That's the fun, right? That's what you're going for. That's what we want. That's what everybody wants to see, right? This sort of new direction and excitement. It comes out of something original. You guys have your inspiration. We mentioned fast and furious earlier. I think something to note was when like, you know, again, like the conception of all the ideas like touring came to us with a story and, you know, like it was up to Josh and I and then to also like flesh it out. But I know for me, my my inspiration was just thinking about basically the most favorite time in my life, which was being a kid Saturday morning, literally grabbing the most sugary a syrup you possibly had sitting crisscross apple sauce in the living room and just just watching stuff. So like, that was my vibe was a Saturday morning cartoon as well as like one of those like super fun popcorn movies. You can just like sit back, have a good time, you know, like if you're if your little game and chair has a little thing that will kind of let you just drop down a little bit. Yeah, I'll kind of come back in and I'll lock it in. It's true. Like it's it's made to be super light. Like if you watch this, you watch the trailer, you watch something and you're like, oh, that's cheesy. Yes. I wrote I probably wrote cheesy in parentheses in the document. Like I like it's because I look at RBB. I personally feel like RBB has set up like something fun for everyone, right? You watch RBB, you go into the game and you recreate your favorite scenes or you create fan art or you create all these other things. I'm just taking, you know, what I love about RBB, right? It's character, some of the cool action from some of the seasons and I'm, you know, just building an additional thing for people like me or for new people, for old people, anybody just like something new for us, like something for us to enjoy and just watch without, you know, it's not the citizen cane of RBB. I promise you, it's not, but it does have cool action stuff. It got funny moments. Noel threw up in his helmet. That's gross. That's gross. Hey, but I did it in real life, too. I did it in real life. Just, just to get in the car. He put a helmet on you in the booth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you just recorded that. That's good. Can we get another check? I'm really invested in a lot of the characters and the relationships you guys have built for them. I think that's something that I know it's new characters for people, but I think that the relationships you guys have, have made in this show for them are really fun and compelling. And I, I know we all talk and we all have, there's so many things I would say, but I also think you guys have done on top of like, just unbelievably cool anime, like action and all the, the comedy you guys have in there. I think there's also the root of it. Like you said, the characters are really fun and strong and I really like all of them. Which speaking of action. Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Wait, wait, wait, wait, real quick, real quick, real quick. Before you get into the action, real quick. Before you do that, I'm going to catch up real quick on, on Hannah's note, I want to say my thanks and appreciation to everyone on the cast here. We got, we got, we got Jeb, we got Hannah, we got Christian, we got Fiona. I want to thank you for really putting yourselves into these characters and I'm like a lie. You have made these characters, this dialogue, you've made this world so much better just with your investment. So I want to thank all of you for bringing your amazing talents and voices to these characters. So thank you. All of you and Jen and Andre and Ryan. Yes, yes, yes, yes. It's true. Jen, Tedwell, Andre. Jen's in the chat. Yeah, I, I think I saw Andre. It's not a lie when I'm like, oh man, I don't really know what phase is. And then Hannah starts speaking. I'm like, that's so. I know exactly what I'm saying. Someone get her a knife. I see what I'm saying. Someone get her a knife. Someone get me a knife. Get this woman a knife. Get her a knife, get me a knife. Get this woman a knife. Get this woman a knife. Get her a knife. Get her a knife. Get her a knife. Get her a knife. Get this woman a knife. Where is my cap? Oh, cap suit. What? Yes, yes, yes. We can, we can go in that direction. I know we want to, we all want to talk about how good it feels to be honest. But Torian, you were queuing us up. We got a clip to show off some of that action, right? Oh boy. What clip? This is a surprise. Quite a clip. That's all I want to say. I'll see, I'll see. It's that transport. Whatever they brought here for safekeeping might be trouble. I'm getting bad vibes about it. Yeah, to make things more weird, I heard it's possibly alien. Alien, that's not so dangerous. Ugh. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. It's a, come on, on your feet. Ah! Slayer. Ha, ha, ha, ha. All that. Man, can you knock first? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Right there. Oh, he's laughing. Hey you. I am. I am thinking about it. Zingray, you're poor as hell. We need everyone. I'm going to do this. Oh my god, got him. I know I should have called and see him again Sound designed by Elena fantastic teleport I'm waiting Whoever on me how dare you That was cool, I think we might have been muted during everybody everybody For the best So much fun so much fun this season is gonna be so much fun It's already so much fun yet working with all y'all Tell you Hannah, I don't think you believe me He's not gonna stop. That's why it stresses me out because I'm like she's too do you hear this voice? This is not the voice of phase Can you turn it on and off Here's the thing I don't feel like I'm actually doing that much of a voice for faith My voice goes up when I'm like anxious, which is all of the time But when I do phase I just drop it into my normal range, which is lower Oh We also produce on the show and we're looking at animations and fight stuff and I'm like, uh, excuse me. Excuse me Give me that phase stuff right now. I'm over here. I will say this My my biggest regret so far was that I didn't write cooler stuff for Raymond to do I should have added more coolers because like when I see when I see Asia one when I see phase when I see zero When I see Everyone is doing some awesome. Everyone loves Raymond I do like the burgers We're gonna have some kind of terrible spin-off, right? Like That's what I say. Yeah, just real quick. Just want to say I really appreciate all of you Jeb, thank you for hosting this show. You're doing a fantastic job. Thank you everyone for being here Let's all just all do. Yeah, like a little clap right there because I don't know how to transition out of this We're already at like only 15 minutes left. How long do we have? Not even we've got like seven Yeah, we got it. Yeah, we got to do this. Yeah, we got to do this. Okay. All right. I'm still thinking about that music That's original music. It was very good It's a Fiona's name. It's a christian's name Really? Let's stop over Do a couple of questions If we can see if we can get through a few of these speed ramps. I don't have speed ramps. Yeah Lightning ramp speed ramp. We're fast Show you jack's not Asks, did you all get to dip your fingers in the soundtrack or how did you decide what songs to include?

I think the best of red versus blue And I'll let him tell you what that pitch is if he wants to Uh, but glad to see him and you know the whole his whole gang like It's really cool that it's a bunch of friends.
