 Today we're talking volume six chapter four. We have the one, the only, the voice of Ozpin, Shannon McCormick, and that exclusive clip for you. And we'll be answering community questions that you have submitted using hashtag RubyRoo. This is Ruby Rewind. Hello everyone. Welcome out to our unofficial Ruby Rewind pajama party. Our slumber party. It's great. So normal. I'm very comfortable. My name is Chad James. I'm Ellie Mayne. And I am Jackie Izawa. That is super adorable. I wonder if we like cut that thing open if you could wear it as a mask. Whoa, dude. That escalated. I did right out the gate. Well, hey, thank you guys so much for joining us. If you're new to Ruby Rewind, what we do here is we talk about the latest episode of Ruby. And of course, we answer questions with you guys. Answer questions with you guys. Listen, it's a while, but I'm relaxed. I got my pajamas on. English isn't going well for me today. We chat with colleagues and special guests. We do. The whole thing. Yeah, and we show you a sneak peek of the next episode. But first let's get right into it, guys. It's a shorter episode this week. A shorter episode, yeah. I was settling in and then the credits rolled and I had to play it. Wait, okay, so what just happened? And there was an amazing punch. That was my first, it was an amazing punch. Oh, I know. But also you feel like, I have this weird thing when it comes to him getting hit because I'm like, yeah, Ospin deserved that. Oh, poor Oscar. But Oscar didn't. Yeah, right? And then he's got to deal with that, you know? So, I mean, the confrontation was pretty heavy with Crow. That was, yeah, that was quite, because the community also reacted. You guys get reacted to it, Crow punching a child. I think Jackie said just before we started, well, in his defense, he was drunk. I feel like he was drunk. Sorry. And we were like, wait, hang on. Yeah, that was really, it really showed that Crow felt super betrayed. Oh, so betrayed. By Ospin. Because he was in that, he was in Ospin's corner since the very beginning. And you're like, why did everyone betray Ospin? And now you get the full story, so. Crow was Ospin's last bro. Yeah, Crow bro. The Crow bro. He's gone. He might be out of there. Yeah, no, I mean that. Seemed unhappy. This is pretty heavy, the whole, you know, like, the confrontation and then have him just basically being like, you're the worst mistake, like running into you as the worst mistake in my life. And then Ospin just kind of like. But I made you a bird person. Yeah, I know. But is that, I mean, that's- He made you a bird person. You made me a bird. You know, he's like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna go hide in this kid's head now. He's about that. Yeah, also, such a cowardly move. It really was. Well, you guys are yelling at me, so I'm just gonna go to bed. Yeah. Before we talk about the next thing, I do want to remind everybody that we do have a megaphone poll, which you can participate along with by heading to roosterteeth.com forward slash play. We'll be bringing that up here in just a little bit. We'll ask you a question and you guys can contribute your opinion. It's how we get that live on the fly feedback for your first message. All right, thank you guys. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it is. All right, so after, you know, Crow punches a child. Yep. And then- After that. I love that the old woman's just like whipping everybody into shape. We don't even know who she is yet. She's just like, shut up, everyone. Right. Well, she's the adult in charge now. Yeah. Because Crow is being Drunkle Crow and husband's gone. So, I mean, she has to step up. I actually loved her for it. I was like, go, yeah. I love you. Do it. I feel like I really need to know more about her because she's way too like cavalier about the fact that she just found out all this lore, like humanities on the set. I'm also reeling in the fact that this is the human redo. Yeah, right. You're like, this has also messed me up, guys, all right? So it's not all about you. Listen, that's pretty crazy, but let's go. Like, I'm not gonna delay in the cold. I'm old. Push me on this bike. She's obviously seen some stuff in her life. So she's like, I just gotta round up these children and we gotta go now. So, she's like, God's sure, whatever, let's go. Let's get out of here. Can we please talk about the return of our favorite psychopath, Tyrion? Oh, yeah. He was so fun to see him back again. Yeah, it was. Creepy little cat-nuzzle on the blade. Oh, my God. I really enjoyed it. Because already, his delivery and his movements and everything, it just all, it just puts you on edge every time. It's not so creepy. It's so creepy. And he just gets right in there and he's just like, I just want to be like, yeah. He just gives it that little kitty-nuzzle, your scorpion-nuzzle, I guess. Totally psycho. And so he's gonna, he promised that he was gonna stop them from delivering, from getting to Atlas, right? So we're good to see him again. Really, really happy about that. He doesn't give us screen time. Man, oh, no, no, I think there's definitely gonna be another battle with Tyrion. I'm calling that now. That's gonna be good. But, oh, having a meeting with Salem is, yeah. Not good, it is the quiet rage is the extra scary one. First the spooky, like, I'm gonna give you a million grim hugs. You know, like, I thought that was bad. I personally really enjoyed. Please tell me your story. Okay, stop. But you just, but you, oh. Let me rephrase. Who's to blame? Yeah, then you got a big old grim hug. Yeah, I love it. Cause it looks so sinister at first, but then when they pull him down, it's just more like, I want in. And like, it's hands. Free hugs. Yeah. Reminded me of My Hera, the hand over the face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was cool. I love that he still was like, ugh, hey, one more thing. You know, and he's just like, oh, you're feeling crazy, are you? He's like, yeah, you know, husband's back. And then. Just one little itty, little bitty detail. Your lover returned. Yeah. She didn't like it. Oh man, all the glass cracking and like the suspense with that. So much fun. I think they were expecting him to show up later too, because there was that little line somewhere like already, like he's already reincarnated. So they're like, oh, well, we need to react now. So whatever plan she had, then it's probably just jump started now. Speaking of plans, Oswin doesn't have a plan. Oh yeah. This whole time. I know. No plan. I mean, that was the thing that set off Crow, they're like, what is your plan? He's just like, I don't have one. Well, we're in the snow and there's some children here and a couple of relics. So what do you guys think she should do, huh? Listen, I've been doing this for a really long time. So why don't you take the track at it? You guys will be kind of looking at him to me for advice, but I'm out. No good. Well, I wanted to bring up, I totally forgot last week, but the way that Ospin asked Jen the question of how do I destroy Salem, and she said, you can't. But he said, I. So it's possible maybe that someone else could do it, or- Or also not even destroy. Like maybe that's- Or save. Yeah, right, exactly. Like maybe- You gotta think about your questions in the presence of a Janie. Yeah, exactly. There's also a third option, because I rewatched chapter five earlier this morning, and then I was like, oh, well the God of light and darkness said, as long as the world turns, you're still gonna be here. So maybe they just like destroy the entire world. Yeah. That's the third option. Yeah, I'm just saying. Moon has like halfway there. Yeah. So like- We're already halfway committed. We might as well just get it all the way through. Or maybe it's one of those things that they bring them all together and they actually stop the world from turning. It doesn't actually explode. You're like Superman or something? Oh no, he reversed it, nevermind. He didn't stop it. Why don't they just like trap her in like a big old box of concrete or something, and then put her in the sea? Didn't think of that. Ah, didn't they? That's true. I mean, imprisonment forever is also an option when you're dealing with immortal beings. Yeah. Just gonna- Yeah, have to kill her. All right, let's see what questions you guys have for us. Let's bring up the first one, Jackie. You want to read it? Yes. All right, here we go. Are you mad at us for keeping secrets? Or do you feel bad for him that he's just and unsure scared as the rest of them by Jorah93? I know you, hi! Hello. Are we mad? Are we mad at him? I'm a little mad at him. Yeah. I mean, I can kind of see that like, you know, he's been doing this for so long. He doesn't know who he can trust. But like at this point, I feel like there's plenty of opportunities for him to feel comfortable and that he can trust the team and all the things that they're going through. And we've had multiple discussions. You know, like multiple about like, hey, stop not telling us things. And he's like, well, I wasn't lying. And he's like, that isn't the problem. The problem is you're not telling us the whole truth. Anything else? He's like, no. And then like, oh, by the way. And you're just like, ah, come on. So the thing is you don't have a plan. Perhaps you should consider a many minds approach to this whole situation. Yeah, put your heads together. I'm mad. I'm mad at him. Yeah. I'm not like black or white about it. I'm like in the center of like, I understand, but you've lived so many lives, you should have like know that this wasn't gonna turn out very well for you. You should know better. Cause like he's never, his nature has always been to like withhold information, even with Salem's relationship. That's true. It's just like, he's ain't gonna change. But he should. If anybody had the capacity to change, he had all the lives to do it. So he has the most time to make some effective changes. All right, let's check it on the megaphone poll. And the question is, do you think Oz was justified in hiding this information from the team? Perfect. No, just talking about it. You can head to roosterteeth.com forward slash play and then decide if it's a yes or no. And I think I know, oh, not it. We'll see. We'll check out back in with that here real soon. But yeah, let's bring up the next question. And that one comes from Melody Medler. So Ozpin seemed to merge pretty seamlessly in his past lives. Do you think Oscar is going to be able to keep his own identity? This is something we talked about like right out the gate on the show. And I don't know, like. I think so. I want to be hopeful. I want to be like Ruby and be hopeful. But. And I'm just going to be crow. And walk right behind you and be like, nope. That was so good. Don't lie to him. Yeah. Well, I was pretty much convinced that like Ozpin was going to like kind of take over. Yeah. But now with him like feeling real bad about himself and like locking him away, locking himself away inside of Oscar's brain. He's going to have, he's having a sulk right now inside of Oscar's brain. But I mean, that was, yeah, that wasn't really, it was kind of glossed over in our description of what happened in the past when in terms of like, you know, his reincarnating and stuff, it was never clear whether those people like are still there or whether he like gets the whole brain. Gets the whole brain. Whether he gets the whole brain or not. Well, I mean, we'll have to see. But yeah, I mean, the drama, I don't know. I don't understand. There are so many different factors that affect this particular merge now with Team Ruby there, as well as Ozpin just hiding now. So he's, Oscar's going to have, I think a lot of him time now. So. There's a lot of him time. A lot of him time. He can read it. Let's read this next one. You know, I just had a thought. Oz let Ruby into Beacon early. Did he do it because he thought she was ready or because she has silver eyes and wanted her close? Ladder. Yeah, probably a ladder. I know she's a ladder. Yeah. I was joking like episode one here. Yeah. And we're. Chapter one, volume one, one. We were talking about the silver eyes thing. And you know, one of the things we mentioned is like, oh, because he's, you know, had all these lives and he's a couple of times at least shown how to family are, you know, the silver eyes, like descendants of his and I, you went back and you were looking at the frame. I paused every frame to look at those children's eyes. So one of the four of his original family had silver eyes and then the two children from the other family that we got a glimpse of also had silver eyes. They both did. So she could be a descendant of his. Mm-hmm. So, cause that was literally the second thing he ever said to her. Well, to answer the question, I think it's a combo of both. I think he was like, you are ready and also I see them eyes. Yeah, I think, no, I really think it's, I think he wanted to keep an eye on her. Nah. Good job, good job. You wanna read this next one, Jackie? Yes. All right. There are two continents that have dragon shapes, both look east-west. What if they are where the pull of darkness and light are at? Do you think the MAH are in shapes? Interesting. What, and the map? I think that's what they're saying. Huh. I wish we had a visual look for that right now. I didn't either. Yeah. So, do you think the whole like, the whole continent points towards the, the good and the bad gods? That would be cool. That would be really cool. I'm sure that even if that's not true, the animation department would be like, yes. Yes, it is, no. Yes, that's exactly what it meant to do. Eddie is putting it into the tongues of war. He's in the library. He's just sliding down that ladder right now. In the restricted area. No, just consult the map scrolls. Oh, Eddie. I'm totally gonna check that out after this, cause that's a really interesting idea. Yeah, I haven't even thought about that. Nope. All right, let's bring up that megaphone pole and see what you guys answered. And that is, oh yeah, nope. It's a 67 to 33 split. Yeah, he needs to trust his team. I agree. Yeah. What else is he gonna do? He's got no plan. Yeah. He just has to keep talking on about the plan, but he doesn't have one. Find as well, try trusting people. Right. Might be good. All right. He's really mad. But now, let's move on to the moment you guys are all here for, really. And let's talk with a very special guest. Shannon McCormick, what's up? Hey. Hey. I magically appeared. Yes, hey. Ozpin magic, right? Indeed. Welcome, welcome. Welcome. I will tell you everything that I know, cause I'm not the character. Okay, cool. I'm still gonna keep an eye on you. Okay, all right, all right. I probably won't tell you everything I know. See, he already did it. I know, right? You have vigorous, you have prepped of the whole entire story when you accepted the role, correct? No. Not quite. No, my favorite thing to tell people when this comes up is everybody knew, like internally people knew Piero was gonna die, like that was slated. They were actually gonna kill her at the end of season two, but they were like, oh, we want it to feel worse, so let's like. What does it feel worse? Let's have a little bit more time with Piero, so they stretched it over into season three and they killed her then. So then there's the huge fight at the end of volume three and Ozpin gets buried under the remains of the school. And I was like, okay, cool. And then like a couple months later, I'm talking with Carrie and he's like, oh, yeah. So I think Oz's body is dead. I'm like, what? Just his body is dead. And he's like, yeah, he's probably, he's like gonna come back inside of somebody or something and we're figuring it. And so like that, they didn't, I don't think had quite figured that out until after volume three. So yeah, so I didn't know what was gonna happen. Oh, wow. Yeah, it's wild. Yeah, you've been working on the show for a long time. Yeah, since, you know, whenever we started recording lines was it 2012, late 12th? When did it debut, 13th? About six years ago. Yeah. Yeah. How'd that come about for you? How did the audition come about? Yeah, yeah. Monty called me in and said, which role do you wanna play? I auditioned for two. I auditioned for Roman and for Ozpin. Well, that worked out pretty good for you. Yeah, it worked out pretty good. Because not only is his body dead, he's, his whole thing is dead. The belly of a Grim somewhere. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Until we get a Grim that talks back in. And then we got done with the audition and then Monty was like, so which one do you want? And I was like, I kind of like the Ozpin character and yeah, it worked out good. That's awesome. Yeah. That's great. All right, cool. Well, I know we got a bunch of community questions for you. I'm gonna bring up the first one, Jackie. You wanna do it? Yeah. You want my little bunny ears? Okay, yeah. Are you mad at Oz for keeping secrets or do you feel bad for him that he's just as unsure, scared as the rest of them? Draw on 93. I think it's the latter. So he's just unsure and scared. You know, like when you guys were talking about, when I was off stage listening and talking about he's off having a little sulk, he's like, he's pulling that Luke Skywalker in the last Jedi. Yeah. You know, he's like at the top of his game but he's still like, nobody likes me, you know, and he like goes off and has a little sulk. I'm shutting himself off from the course or whatever. So yeah, I mean, I think he's like, he's lived all these lives and nothing ever works how he thinks they're gonna work. And so I think he's just like, he's a little bitter and untrusting. Maybe he still has lessons to learn. Oh. Next one comes from Dennis Ozzie, perfect name. If Washington had any advice for Ozpin, what would he say? It'd be like, I don't like leg, they put in time doing leg day. No, I mean, I mean, I'm in this weird role where like none of my characters for Rooster Teeth can die. So for whatever reason, yeah. You are our immortal voice actor. Yeah, exactly. Well, and I, because I also do the quartermaster who I also think is some sort of weird immortal time lord kind of character. Like there are all three iterations of the same character. They're all avatars of the same like bizarre cosmic over soul. Maybe that's where this Oz thing comes from. It's you. Oh, what? We just got Superman. You could be immortal. Oh my God. Well, don't test it. Okay, I'm not gonna test it. Okay. I'm gonna test it. Do you ever get confused in the booth and start like doing Ozpin's lines like as the quartermaster? No, but every, no. I'd love to hear that. Although sometimes if I do more than one series in the same section, it takes a while to like... Transition. Transition, you know? So like, you know, like Ozpin lines will have still a little touch of the quartermaster in there or whatever. Yeah, yeah, what the heck. Oh, that's really cool. Put it down, Ruby. Okay, so do you think Oz can regain the trust of Team Ruby and Crow? And if he can regain their trust, what do you think it will take? Oh, dude. Oh, man, that's okay. This is like an open book test. Okay, do you think Oz can regain the trust of Team Ruby and Crow? Yes, he's a good guy. And if he can regain their trust, what do you think it will take? Hot dog eating contest. Hot dog eating contest, yeah. I think he's gonna have to sacrifice something important to prove that he's being legit and upfront and everything. But I don't know what that would be because he can't die, so it's like if he gets killed, he'll just come back and some other 14-year-old boy. No, I have a question. This should have been the poll. Like Dr. Who, why has Ozpin only ever been a dude? Shouldn't he be able to come back as a lady? Yeah, that's true. Maybe he hasn't, we just don't know. We don't know. We haven't seen it. That's a question. That was a very good question. You know, who come back as. So that one up the flag. Maybe he'll come back as one of the, and I don't know. Of the chain. Hey, Jackie. Yes. This was his last question. Your favorite line, Voicing Oz, by TD Dominic. What was his favorite line? I really, I like, because it also then turns into something that a lot of the show hinges on, is when he's confessing that he's made more mistakes than any man, woman, or child alive because he's had 800,000 lives or whatever. So he just has a lot of, it's a big bank of stuff that he can have worked on. And yeah, so I really like that line a lot. It humanizes him. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it gives him some vulnerability. Some humility. Humility, yeah. He's a mess. Gotcha, cool. Well, you know, we like to have fun with our guests here. We do. We do, we've been doing. But I'm not gonna put you through the lighting round. Okay, okay. Instead, you know, we have something a little special, and that is there was a scene, you know, that we couldn't work in. Oh, the scene, right? Yeah, okay. The deleted scene. Right, and so. Extra lore and yeah. Yeah, yeah, so. Eddie got this one down from the shelves for us. Yes, exactly. So we want to, you know, people always ask about being a voice actor and that kind of stuff. So we're gonna have you voice live to this clip so that people can get, you know. Okay. Yeah, I can do it. Okay, all right. Not quarter master. Not quarter master, right. Right, no, no, I remember we, and then it didn't make it into the volume. Yes. Yeah, okay. All right, let's pull it up and go for it, Shannon. Hey everybody. I have this artifact. I had a really weird dream last night and if you look inside of it, you can see what happened. You want to see? Oh my God, I had this really weird dream last night. Yes, I think I ate too much sugar and I had a really weird dream. You won't believe it. Would you like to see what happened? Okay, okay. All right, so here's the thing. I am a voice actor in the show Ruby. All right, and then you're not, John, sorry. Okay, yeah, I'm right. And no matter what you do, they're never ever going to make any Ospin merchandise. And I don't understand why they don't do it, but I put on pants and I beg them and I plead them, I jump around and I say merchandise, merchandise! Very good. And then I did, yeah, that didn't make it into the, it didn't make it into the, I don't know why they, they couldn't quite fit it into the way that the episode was flowing. I understand. I remember Miles was really upset. He was like, we had this amazing dream sequence. Yeah, yeah, it's just really cool. It's just like, it's inception. You just keep peeling back the layers. It's amazing. Yeah, there's maybe even another dream behind that one which is, I don't know. Well, speaking of merchandising, hopefully we can get some Ospin soon. That was my little plug. But in the meantime, to hold you guys over, you can head to store.rusty.com and you can pick up some of this great stuff. We've got a ton of Ruby merch. Some of it's out, some of it's upcoming, but you can head over there right now, like these sweet pumpkin pea slippers. Grim Jim jams. Grim Jim jams, yes. Those will be coming soon, I believe. But yeah, head over to store.rusty.com. It's, you know, you're gearing up for the holidays. We've got a lot of bunch of stuff coming up. So yeah, head over there and pick up some clothes because again, you need to wear them. Otherwise, you'll probably get in trouble. They make a great Christmas gift. They do. I'm ready to give them things. Cool. Well, Shayna, thanks so much for being on the show. Thank you guys for having me. I really appreciate it. Yeah, and before we go, we of course got to give you guys a little sneak peek at next week's episodes. Let's do that now. I don't get it.
