 into another, I'm gonna say it now, beautiful and thoughtful episode of Eye of Notes. First, I just wanna real quick, we gotta, you know you love it, give a shout to our sponsor, expressvpn.com. Look, you don't want your inner provider to know what you're looking at, that's for you, that's for you and God. So, you can hide your browser history at expressvpn.com slash RTTV. And also, hey, if you're a first member, hop in the chat and talk to us. We'll be looking at the chat. If you answer an interesting question, maybe, hey, maybe we'll call you out in a positive way if you ask a bad question. Maybe we'll see what happens, I don't know. Joining me this week is my always amazing co-host, Issa Badiola. Hello, Issa. I'm trying to type so quietly so I can interact with Chettis. Yeah, exactly. Just one, one, one, one, just one. Just a little. Just a little. The time. Hi, I'm here. Who do we have with Issa? Ooh, so our always most specialist guest in the world. We have Erin Wayne. It's me. Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. Ooh, the specialist. The specialist. Erin, the most specialist guest. And we also have our favorite Josh in the world. Hello. Josh's a good person. Whoa. No guest. Yeah. What's other Josh gonna say? Yeah, I feel like now they need a fight. I realize this. Yeah, I was like, oh no, they have to fight Joshua or Nellis. I don't know the death battle people. Oh. Oh. But do you own any knives? No. Because that might be more helpful in an actual battle. That's true. I'm just starting to sat there. I would be really curious what it would be like to have, and I have notes with both Josh's on. Surely we could. The confusion. Arrange that, maybe. Yeah, that's probably. There's gotta be four Josh's we could get on, right? Ooh. Yes. That'd be great. 100%. Josh, take a look. I have Josh. We got really close to four Jordans. That's true. Really close. Really close. Well, all right, we could do two Jordans and two Josh's. It could be a J-off. J-J-J. Yeah. A J-off. Yeah, a four-dude J-off. Josh's J-off. Yikes. I mean, I'll be here for it, but. Yeah, I mean, you know. It's, it's, it's, yes, it's fantastic. This is what everybody has needed. I have Josh. I have Josh. Ooh, that's a great title. It's good. I stole it from Erin like 30 seconds ago. That's really pretty. Hello, everybody. This is our first episode back after the great turkey day of 2020, where hundreds of millions of turkeys were slaughtered for our consumption. I'm just going to take the energy and bring it down. How did you enjoy your turkey? I had chicken and. How did you enjoy your, your winged animal? Winged animal is pretty good. Yeah? Yeah. Everybody, I'm assuming had a bunch of low-key thanksgivings. Oh yeah. Yeah. As just nice. One trend this year. Yeah. Yeah. From, yeah. We were just talking about wearing masks. Yeah. We'll talk about it. I just, I want to go to Japan. You too. Josh, we were. OK, sorry. You know, I'm going to let Josh have the floor. Wow. Let's give Josh the turkey floor. What do I do before? What do you want to? All right, Josh, you got a turkey and a floor. What do you do next? Now we're playing a game. This is a riddle. You bowl it. Bowl the turkey. Bowl the turkey. Interesting. You didn't ask me if it was a cooked or frozen turkey. Oh yeah, I just kind of assumed it was a frozen turkey. Interesting. I was thinking cooked. I was also thinking cooked. But. I thought, I thought frozen. And then after that, I thought, what if it was a live turkey? Whoa. Oh man. A wild card. Yeah. I don't know. Eesa Badiola, more like Josh Badiola, because y'all were like on the same side. He's both not frozen. OK, I'm done. I'm sorry. Hey, Josh. It's been a while since we've had you on. Do you want to talk about some of the stuff that you've been working on since then, especially things that involve two specific. All right, already stopping the way I was about to phrase that, red versus blue. Right. Yeah, it's interesting. I was wondering how you were going to phrase it, because you could also do death battle with that. That's true. That's true. That's true. I was about to talk about two sides being pitted against each other, but I didn't see. I'll tell y'all later, there's a sense in my head that was not good and not what I was going for. Take it away, Josh. Cut away from me. Those are the things. Red versus blue and death battle, working on those pretty hard for the rest of the year, which we're excited about it. RVB is halfway through its season, which is kind of insane to realize. Just eight episodes, and we're halfway through it, and it's going really well. The team is cranking out beautiful animation week after week. It's incredible what they've been able to do in a pandemic. It's wild, but we're really happy with it. We're having fun, and the community has been really great checking out the episodes every week. It's become the morning routine that the RVB crew cast every Monday at 10 AM. We're all just watching it together, passing back memes and stuff. Jen and Andre, our cast, they have a stack of memes, and they have them queued up. So as soon as a plot point gets revealed, that they can then release the memes into the wild. And it's fantastic. That's very good. I love it. Because we used to a long time ago, I do miss RVB coming out on a weekday. Because when RVB comes out, it's the weekend. And it's like, I'm not going to respect people's pride. I'm not going to tell. The writers and the directors all the time. I have four different threads with all of the writers of us finding somebody's comedy, being like LOL they found it, or seeing somebody's take or something like that. But yeah, we're not at the office or on Slack and stuff when it happens. So I miss those days, the interactive days. I remember we actually would do that for Camp Camp every Friday. Oh, yeah. Jordan Swears was the big proponent for going through the comments and stuff on Fridays. And we would just find the funny ones. And then the rest of the gang, too, in the team. And mock some people. You can say it. It makes us feel better when they say mean things. We say mean things back. Privately. Privately. Privately human. Privately amongst ourselves. Yeah. So Josh, you're also episode director. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did you just do a DBZ episode? I wish. Death Battle. Too many letters. I did. Yeah. So I directed this last episode of Death Battle. I'm directing the next episode of Death Battle. Meanwhile, co-directing RBB. Wow. So lots of things happening all at once. It's been a busy time. It's funny. We had Noel on just a couple of weeks ago. I've been wanting to ask you. Did you see that episode? Yes. It's okay if you didn't. That's fine. Dang it. Okay. No, I was going to make a joke. I was going to say, like, do you feel like he holds you back the same way that he feels like you hold him back? But if you saw the episode, then I can't. Okay. Well, yeah. I thought you were going to ask what his opinions on eating cheese by himself. Hey. Hey. You know what? We're not even 10 minutes in. Let's get fucking into it. Josh, how do you feel about cheese? The opposite of Noel. Oh, yeah. I knew you were the good one. All the time. I mean, I have a pack of string cheese in the fridge right now. How do you eat the string cheese? Do you peel it apart or do you, like, chop on it? Yeah. Nine out of 10 times, I will peel it apart. But every once in a while, I'll just go for it. Josh, can I ask you? Is it because you want to feel powerful? Oh, when I bite into it on the same time? Yeah. Yeah, because it's like I'm breaking the mold. I'm doing what I'm not supposed to do and no one's going to stop me. Like right, like right now, I'm a good law-abiding citizen. I, you know, I'm staying home right now. I usually get my car inspected within the year that it's due. I do, I do write, but then sometimes I open up the string cheese and I'm like, I could be naughty, though. Yeah. Yeah, it feels good. It does. I do want to, I do want to point out J.J.O. in chat what called you big plate, because I'm me. I kind of like that name. Oh, okay. And Belle from chat goes, I direct food into my mouth, which is. Ditto. That's the all-drankers. Exactly. Yeah, in that sense. I like it. I like it. But that on your resume. Yeah. How much, because I have a half memory of something, but I also don't want to, like, say something weird and give something weird away. How much are those two projects like actually overlapping right now? Like how much are you having to balance in your day to day or, you know, was one like more like production pulled ahead on one of them or something like that. Yeah. So right now it's actually a good, we've struck a good balance because I'm finishing up the death battle. So it's kind of just like QC for the next week, which is good because it's all, it's all pretty much done and reviewing final stuff as it comes in with RVB, the bulk of the work that Noel and I have been doing as co-directors is also kind of wrapping up, which is nice because we're mainly directing the VO sessions. And right now we're just finishing up ADR for the last two episodes of RVB. So it's all kind of finally starting to settle down a little bit. And now we're focusing on editing. Noel and I each edit half the season. So finally delivering that stuff. Jack of all trades, Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. The team, the team over at RVB, which is also like, I think a good chunk of, has also a good chunk of death battle as well. Like you guys are such monsters. Just the, you guys like really have to do you guys like on, I would, I always kind of think to myself like, oh, these guys are carrying the team. But then it's like, no, everyone's carrying the team. That's wild. I think that's, I think that's one of the reasons by Torian kind of plucked us and chose me in Noel. Cause he knew that we would be those kind of like people who were just willing to do whatever it needs to be done. Yeah. I mean, like there's a, I think there's a good argument, a good balance between like, you know, having people who like super hyper specialized and it's like, this is what they're going to do. They're going to do it really, really well. But this is all they're going to do. And then there's the like, Hey, this is their responsibility. But this thing needs to get done right now. Let's just do that real quick. And like, you know, and it's like that. I feel like you kind of, you need both. I feel like it's hard to like, you know, if we, if we only, if we had only, you know, just one person dedicated to like every single task or like, or every person was only dedicated to one task. I don't think we get anything done. Ever. Cause we don't, we don't got that, that, that Hollywood budget. Yeah. We don't have any best boys. I would argue that every, every boy in here is the best. What is, what is it? Hang on. I'm going to Google best boy. I'm kind of, hey, uh, okay. I'm ready. I'm afraid to Google best boy. Too late. You have to do it. You're committed. Answer. I do. They're on the keyboard. What, what Carrie was talking about in terms of like, um, people who like are, are good at everything as well. That's how I also view you, Erin. Oh no. Because I also, I don't know what the spot is. I agree. Because also like the, the amount of something you do, Erin, I mean, for, for what you do, what you have been doing for Ruby. Yeah. You know, in, in terms of like regular productions on 3D or like any even 2D production, some, it's always a delineation of like props or characters and then like backgrounds and maths and from what I know of our history of friendship, you have done everything. Yeah. Quite, quite a lot. The only thing short of is like animation itself. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. So you're all pre-posed. Oh yeah. You haven't really done storyboards have you yet? No. But you do have. I could. You do. You could. I have experience. Uh, a school experience anyways. Sequential. Yeah. It's like minor, right? Yeah. So it's just like, oh, Erin. Yeah. Erin also does that as well. Yeah. I mean, sometimes, sometimes it's, it's nice cause it gives you the chance to work on other things, but then other times it's like very overwhelming. Like, oh God, there's so much stuff I could be doing. Yeah. I wish I had more arms. Oh. Right. Yeah. I would, I would want more arms so I can eat chips while playing video games. Does that, I saw that, I saw somebody had a similar thought on Twitter recently. Oh. Oh man. That came up. Dang it. I mean, it wasn't, okay. I, I, somebody asked that and made me think, yeah, like what would you do if you, if you woke up with, with two more arms? In my. More art. I don't know. That's a good question. More art. Well, I gave my answer. Yeah. I would, I would eat chips. So I could like carry my cat around with me and do stuff. Oh, what a good idea. Like here with one set and then like here with another set. Oh, what a good idea. Oh. Have you ever tried? Actually, I'm sorry. I don't want to be rude. Josh, what would you do with two more arms? I'm trying to think of the very first thing I would do. I know that eventually. I keep it clean. To a drum set. I think that would be. One name band. Now. Now. Now. Josh. Yes. I don't, I don't like, I don't, we don't know each other super well. We've, we've been in some meetings together. We've done some podcasts together now. Do you play drums already? I do. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Oh yeah, there you go. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Man, I was hoping. Two more limbs would be. Yeah. Oh yeah. Now, now, what kind of music do you like to play? Oh, I guess like kind of like pop rock kind of stuff. Okay. So those, those hands would probably be better than more feet. Yes. Right. Now. Yeah. I wouldn't be into like the double bass metal kind of thing. Okay. I mean. More hands would be fast. So fast. With double basses though. Yeah. You just do that. Okay. Okay. Man, I forgot. I was going to say something else, but then I just started imagining like Josh's like actual like frame, like his body. Right. Now, now would you? Yeah. Hang on. Yeah. I want to keep going on this. Okay. So extra hands. Extra hands. Are they to do more? Or are they to do other things like take a bite out of string cheese? Ah, I see. Or wipe your brow or something. Right. Play the guitar while I'm playing the drums. That's interesting. Oh. One main band. There's a harmonica on there too. Yeah. I literally saw a TikTok today of a girl playing piano, but she had like a harmonica also. Wow. But she didn't have like a harmonica stand. I don't know what you call it. So she made one by stuffing like a Pikachu plush in her shirt. Oh. Like keeping it in between the ears. Oh my God. It was so good. What they're, I don't even remember what fucking shorter is for, but when I was doing live action, Chris Damaris was doing like some, he was doing like a Bob Dylan thing and I had to make a harmonica holder out of like a, like a clothes hanger. Oh my God. And like, I just had, I like it kept falling apart and I kept having to remake it. And that's kind of the, and I just want to say I could do something too. You need a Pikachu plush. Obviously. Hey, I've got one. I've got one. It looks like ditto. It's the best. Ditto face is like the best. Yeah. Hey, if you're anything like me, which you know, you probably are cooking dinner is not something you want to deal with at the end of the day.

Have you ever heard of the thing of like eating, like when you're playing games and stuff like eating chips or stuff with chopsticks. I've heard of that. Yes. Somebody asked me about that. I've not heard of this. Yeah. There's a lot of Asians that do it with hot Cheetos. Yeah. They'll just have the better. That seems easier than like a flat chip. Yeah. I mean Cheetos would be the Pringles challenge is you got it. You got to dig them out of the can, but at least in that way, like you don't get gamer dust can you can just pour them into your mouth. That was awkward. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. That's an exciting video. Let's just cut. All right. Let's walk out. Yeah. We established earlier this podcast involves Jesus. Yeah. Or Sky Daddy. Oh my God. I can't believe that started trending. Did that come from a tech talk? What did that come from? It came from a tech talk. Okay. What is this? So, you know, or what's the word I'm thinking of at abortion clinics? They have people who they call like escorts, not in that way, but people who will like garden guide others because there's a lot of people like past protesters. Yeah. Protesters who will like ultimately like bombard these people going into these clinics. So they're there to help the people going in to feel safe, to have a support system. And there's one person who is really railing against a protester. And she was like, you're calling this person a coward. Is that what you think your Sky Daddy wants? Sky Daddy. Sky Daddy happy about this. You're calling this woman a coward. I was like, oh God. I would like to think that no matter how you feel about what religion, Sky Daddy is just a very good thing to refer to. That's just a very good term. It doesn't have to be bad in any way. Yeah. In fact, in some ways, maybe it's it's good. It's good. It's good. Yeah. I'm going to say that and put in my vocabulary. Yeah. You got to reach out to Sky Daddy. Just kidding. What's, uh, okay, we should talk about, we should talk about the thing that I don't want to talk about. Nintendo. Yeah. Nintendo. Nintendo World Universal Japan has announced that they're opening Nintendo World in February 2021. That's so cool. Yeah. It's really neat. When we watched the trailer. We watched the trailer. And there's a trailer for Nintendo World? Yeah. It was just like little, like still shots of what it's supposed to look like. There's this one, like I wish, there's this one image where we were so convinced we were like, wait, is that a, is that a 3D model? Or is that an actual picture of what it looks like? Oh my gosh. Yeah. You saw that, right Josh? Yeah. It's just like, is that real? And then there's the, um, everyone keeps saying like, oh yeah, the Mario Kart ride. And it's just like, there's nothing in the trailer about it moving or anything. So I didn't want to read articles about it, but it's opening in February and Kerry is sad because he wants to go to Japan. Denied once already by this pandemic. I know. Oh, Kerry, you're so sad. We thought it was before there's a group of us that tried to go this last March. And as you can imagine, we didn't. And we're trying to go again next March. And it's just like, if it happens, we'll be able to go there and have so much fun. And I'm going to hug Mario. And I'm going to try and kiss Luigi on his big old nose. But I just don't have high hopes that that nation will allow somebody from the U.S. and even if I've been a good, good boy and I ask Sky Daddy really nicely. I don't know. I don't want to get weird. If everybody could, if it, hey, hey. If you, if everybody could wear their mask so that I could go to Japan, I would appreciate it. That'd be great. If for no other reason. For Kerry. There are hundreds of other reasons to do it. It's true. Do it for me. If you can't do it for other reasons, do it for me. But I'll just do it. I have one concern about like, about that park, that theme park specifically. Oh God. I thought you were going to say about wearing a mask. I was like, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. Your masks are great. I'm so sorry. No, no, no. Just the theme parks. Yeah. I've never been to Japan. And I like love the Disney parks, but I've only been to the ones in the States. So I've never been to like Disneyland Paris or Disneyland in Japan. So it's like Tokyo sea. Yeah. If I go, is it kind of a waste? Shouldn't I like just be in Japan and not go to a theme park in Japan? Do you know what I mean? I have also wondered that we talked about going to Tokyo sea, which by the way, took me about six months to learn that it's SEA. Oh, not SEA. No, I thought it was like the letter C. Like it was like the third Disney park. And they called it Tokyo. I don't know. I didn't see it written down. I just heard it for like four months. And I was like, maybe we'll go. I had to say, I'm not sure if I wanted to go or not. I'm not like the biggest Disney fan. So it wasn't really worth it for me to go for that. If I could hug a real Luigi. Yes. Hey, if you could just, if you could just sneak that into the assets folder for other broadcast shows, maybe like maybe name it like express VPN ad dot PNG or something like that. I would really appreciate that. Yeah, no, but the second I heard it was Nintendo, I was like, no, that's worth it though. Have you been to Japan before? I have been to Japan on a whirlwind work trip. So I was there for about six or like five or six days. And I would say that I spent about a day and a half not working like total over the course of it. So it was like, I was there and it was very fun. And like I did a lot of cool things, but I also was not in like super tourist mode. So I would also say like, you know, there's Disney shit here you can do. There's not really Nintendo shit you can do here. That's true. That's a good point. Disney in Tokyo is different, but it's still Disney essentially. It's all like a exact replica of the other part. Right. There are different like attractions and whatnot. Yeah, man. I'm sure it'll be fun. Like I would. Oh, sorry. I used to go ahead. Sorry. I was going to say I did actually go to Tokyo. Oh, how was it? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was it was good. I did wish I went with other people because I went with my tour group. And that was something I really wanted to experience with people I knew. Yeah. Because I kind of I was still like a little weird around strangers or people that I didn't know as well. So I feel like I was like a huge bitch on that trip. I feel bad for me and the people around me, but you felt like a classic America Jean. You're just like, oh, yeah. Yeah. America Jean. So for me, Tokyo Disney. See, I would say I think it would be still really fun to go because it is Disney World or it's like Disney, but you're experiencing it from like this other country point of view because there are things about Japan that Tokyo see still kind of encompasses as well. Or like just Tokyo Disney in general. Like the way that they do special events is like, oh, oh, they really hone in on like your collector mindset. Because they will only do certain things for certain seasons. And that's it. You will never get another time. And then there's different popcorn stands all around the part. What? But they'll only sell a specific kind of popcorn. So if you wanted to get all the popcorn flavors, you had to go to these specifics. I'm so susceptible to this. It's bad. Oh, man, it's not even the end of it because specific popcorn stands will only have specific types of popcorn buckets. So if you wanted to winnie the pooh bucket, you have to go to another popcorn stand because this popcorn stand only has Toy Story buckets. And I want both. And you want both. Yeah, the second, I'm still at that point. I'm like, I mean, that sounds cool. If you said that this was Pokemon themed, I would spend my entire trip there. Wait, are these are going to be Pokemon stuff at the Nintendo Park? I mean, I feel like it should be. There has to be. I have no idea. Can I be honest? I didn't actually look at the Nintendo Park stuff yet because I was too costly. I only saw Mario stuff. I will say, I thought I did see someone say that they are renders there. I don't know that they're actually pictures. I do think they actually might be renders. The sky was so blue. I know. Sky Daddy, why? If you look, if you actually, if you crank the gamma up really high, you'll see an outline of Sky Daddy. Wear a mask. I don't know why he talks like a ghost. Hey, real quick, this seems like a weird transition. Hey, I want to talk to you about something. Let's come across. I'm going to move a window so I can do things the right way. Hey, look, it's Christmas. Christmas time. It's holiday time. It's December. Sometimes you want to watch, I'll say movies. I'm going to say content because I want to keep this a little bit loose. They don't always have exactly what you're looking for in exactly where you are, let's say America. But with ExpressVPN, maybe you could check out some other stuff. Maybe my sources are telling me that if you wanted to watch Die Hard, you could go on the South Korean Netflix and watch Die Hard. I don't know. I'm just saying if you wanted to. And also, I don't know if you know this, but ExpressVPN, it works on all of your devices. That includes phones. That includes tablets, media consoles, smart TVs, probably refrigerators. Don't quote me on that. I mean, a smart TV is just running Android. I don't know. But yeah, so on top of all of that safety stuff, that is all very important. Maybe there's some extra bonuses too. If you want to try it out, you can go to ExpressVPN.com slash RTTV. Let them know we sent you. I don't know how you would do that, but just let them know. Maybe tweet at them and be like, hey, I have noticed it's such a good job. And also put Die Hard on American Netflix, which they have no power to do. But that's fine. Yeah, so thank you, ExpressVPN. We appreciate you supporting us so that we can talk about the next thing that we're going to talk about. Hey, speaking of Japan. Oh. Whoa, Issa disappeared. I'm here. My camera turned off, so keep going. Oh, different camera. Whoa. It's wider now. I like this establishing shot. I know. And then I'll zoom right in. Now we can see more of your room, guys. Nice. Oh, yeah. But please, Erin, talk about Japan. OK. So apparently the Demon Slayer movie is absolutely crushing it in the Japanese box office. I saw somebody joking on Twitter that Demon Slayer is like 70% of the economy right now in Japan. That's so sad. Isn't too far from the truth. Every day that goes by that I haven't finished Demon Slayer, I hate myself more. It is quite good. I feel this. It's quite good. How many movies are there now? This is the first one. This is the first one. OK, OK. Yeah. It covers the Demon Train arc. That just sounds cool on its own. The movie and just the manga doing so well, the creator got a publishing culture award, which is pretty cool. Wow. Yes. We're complimented on basically lifting Japan's economy up out of this pandemic. Holy shit. That's awesome. Oh, wow. That's crazy. Yeah, the number two in box office for the movie, Issa added that they're over Titanic now. I think the only one that's behind is Spirited Away. Take that, James Cameron. Yeah. Oh, wait. No, wait. Didn't your name already beat it? Japan. Did it get your name? Yeah, I thought your name was already at the top. I don't know. Maybe. I'm looking at highest grossing films. Oh, no, it is Spirited Away. In Japan. Yeah. Japan. Yeah. Oh, wow. I thought for some reason I thought your name had passed it. OK, yeah. Number one is Spirited Away. 30. OK. This is where I start to not. OK. 30.80 billion yen. I don't know if that means. Yeah. I'm going to say. I don't know how much. 30 billion yen. Let's say that. Demon Slayer is number two of 27. Titanic is number three of 26. Suck a butt, James Cameron. Frozen. 25.48. And then your name. 25.03. Anyone want to try and guess number six? Oh, God. It is American. Oh, God. And it is not animated. Avatar? One of the Marvel movies. I'm going to say. Avatar number 11. And no Marvel in the top 10. What? Really? Wow. That's surprising. Yeah. No Marvel. No Marvel in the top 20. Wow. That is shocking. Marvel in the top. China. China is the one that likes Japan. Hey, I don't think. I don't think. I don't think Marvel's gone to Japan, y'all. Because there's not. Easy. In the top 37 for box office revenue, there are no Marvel movies. That's very surprising. Wow. I have no idea that it isn't taken. Number six, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Oh, that's cute. That's cute. Okay. I do have. This. Okay. This is obviously. This is clearly like a cultural thing that I don't understand. Number 19. Which is based on how America received it. It doesn't make any sense to me at all. Is Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh. Wow. Number 19 in Japan. Yes. Meaning that it beat out Jurassic Park. That bothers me. I understand. On a spiritual level. I have seen like anime artists on Twitter, like Japanese anime artists draw like anime. No. And I don't want to say anything bad about Bohemian Rhapsody. I have not seen it. I just didn't get the impression that it was like amazing. Amazing. Yeah. Wasn't. Now. Hey, true false question. I think you're immediately going to know that we can stop talking about another box office revenue. If I said that the last samurai starring Tom Cruise was on the top 20 highest grossing film in Japanese history, would you believe me? Oh my gosh. I don't know. That makes me feel a certain way, but I guess that makes some sense. I'm going to say. Yes. I'm going to say yes to. Yeah. I don't know why I feel like. Number 14. Yeah. Wow. Highest grossing. Like it's happened since then. You know, like the white savior thing has continued to happen. So it had to be successful. It's on some level. Yeah. Or maybe they just really like Tom Cruise. Yeah. I mean, except for that one thing I do. What's that? Look out. We all like. Sign Tom Cruise. Right. Oh yeah. Sure. Fuck, I'm on a list now. Why'd you make me say it out loud? He's going to come jump on my couch or something. I don't know. How old is that? Like. But it's still really fucking funny to me. Yeah. Yeah. He just like, he seems like the coolest dude ever. And then like the more I'm like, oh. Wait a second. Really short to. Hey. Remember that. I'm sorry. I mean, I'm also short. I was going to say all the short people are going to come after me. But. I mean. Bottom tier short. So as a person. Okay. Google says his height is five, seven. As a person who is five, six and lies and says that they're five, seven. He's almost definitely five, six. That's kind of shocking. Yeah. I do have a couple of people in chat. So fake account to disable autoplay. Well, says that Japan really did love queen. I mean, I mean, I mean, so did I. Yeah. I don't know that that means you have to love Bohemian raps. Okay. Maybe. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And then. Okay. Maybe we're just in spread fast enough. Oh, maybe. To not go see it. I mean, they probably have a different opinion of. Film. Language. I mean, I mean, they probably have a different opinion of film language in general. That's true. That's true. I don't, I'm not trying to dunk on this movie. I'm sorry. The end of Bohemian Rhapsody is incredible. Like that final scene where they recreate that final performance is really, really cool. And if you love queen, I would understand like going to see the movie just for that. But maybe I'll go watch that on. We could. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, probably that final scene is worth watching. Okay. Good to know. Tom Cruise is very big in Japan. Oh, I wonder why. Well, well, I mean, his, the average height is different. So he is a little, he's in general a little bit taller. He's huge. They said he's huge in Japan. And I would say he's huge in Japan, but he is, you know, above average in Japan. No, we said we weren't going to look at box office anymore. Fuck it. We lie all the time. That's like the next movie he's in. That's like on the list. Okay. Now you're also testing my knowledge of Tom Cruise movies. It's got to be a mission impossible. Is he an Armageddon? No. Um, sorry, that's Josh's bed. Independence day. I don't think there's another one on here. Okay. I guess he's not that big. Well, he's kind of like the quintessential like white person. Right. Oh, like, I don't want it. Okay. You know what you meant? Like if we needed one white person to speak for all white people, I don't, I don't know that I want to vote. I, he does not have my vote there. Who does? But you're right. No, he's, he's a very, Oh, who does? Yeah. Good question. Oh, who is the quintessential white person? Trust one person. Uh, we talked, we talked about this before the show, John Mulaney. Oh, okay. I think in some weird fucked up situation where I had to vote for somebody to completely represent me as a person, I'd go John Mulaney. That's a solid pick. Yeah. It's not going to happen. And, and we might disagree here or there, but I don't know after this year, I feel like anything could happen. Hey, good. Hey, yeah. Good point. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the rest of this list is, you know, there's a couple of things I don't recognize. I don't know a lot of shit. Hey, which beauty and the beast is this live action ones on there? Live action. Um, which Aladdin is this live action? Okay. You know, yeah, yeah, it's all pretty standard stuff. I'm pretty Star Wars episode one is pretty high up there. And that makes me feel good. Oh, episode one. Oh, yes, the, the Phantom to Menace. The Phantom to Menace. The Menace that was ghosted. Yeah. The, yes, the, the, the good one. I'm just, I'm like, I'm like 50, 50, I'm like, mostly kidding. Are you fucking telling me when, when Dula Fade starts up and like the double lightsaber, like, are you telling me you don't get chills? I'm not saying it's good movie, but are you fucking telling me? Are you fucking telling me? I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, more as a kid I think I liked it I watched two so I watched two in theaters eight times Wow I loved Attack of the Clones as a kid it was my favorite I love the concept of Attack of the Clones a lot yeah for sure hold up well yeah just in general like now I'm with you like that ideas like oh shit yeah yeah it's mainly that scene where they released that kind of sound bomb in space was so cool to hear in a theater I was like I gotta keep seeing this oh also oh wait here where to go oh and I lost it oh yeah a wandering man wonder oh it's spelled interestingly wondering mind suggested Tom Hanks to represent all white people yeah yeah yeah this is you know the good thing it would if you read any good podcasting book the thing that they mentioned is that you should talk about other people's podcasts but I did start listening to what it's talking about Tom Hanks it's really interesting and I keep telling everybody it's called Dead Eyes have y'all heard of this it's this it's this it's a podcast about this actor comedian named Daniel no I'm sorry Connor Ratcliffe I almost said Daniel Ratcliffe I think Connor Ratcliffe I think and basically 20 years ago he got fired from the cast of Band of Brothers by Tom Hanks for having Dead Eyes and this is this like he's doing this like podcast or he's like interviewing people and trying to figure out what that means like like other people he ended up so he's interviewed like John Hamm he's interviewed Seth Rogan he's interviewed the guy that actually got the part he's interviewed somebody who was also in the scene it's really interesting that's kind of like it's airing right now it's still going it feels like it could be heading there there's been multiple people like Bobby Moynihan like he's bit like he's interviewed people were like oh yeah I know I know Tom Hanks and it's like oh my god it's like the different degrees of Tom Hanks yeah so I yeah but so every week listen I have notes and then you're allowed to listen to the newest episode of companion piece yes yes wasn't it wasn't it Tom Hanks that wasn't a Carly Ray Jepsen oh it was and it's very good and wasn't this our Queen Carly Ray Jepsen and wasn't it just because like they had randomly called them up and beat was like hey would you want to do this random project and he was like yeah that sounds like a very Tom Hanks there you go I I feel like that's the you see that video yes it was wonderful I I on I run I just remember I don't know the name it's I really really really really yeah yeah and what you you want me to you want me to I I on ironically like I like to have some I know I'm sorry I'm too good at singing here yeah with us right now she's our sky daddy I just looked over at discord Tyler also said Tom Hanks there you go apparently Tom Hanks all right okay yeah yeah yeah good man I get it bad comes out about him after us talking about it's been so sad it's been so long and he hasn't had bad things it's got it he's got to be safe right he's clean he did he did have COVID that I remember that yeah he's got that means he's got good blood now he's his blood the Tom Hanks I'll talk to Japan I'll talk to Japan I'd be like I've got Tom Hanks blood let me in that's how we get everyone to take the vaccine just call it the Hanks vaccine yeah yeah if anybody's like I don't know what that vaccines are tanks juice yeah yeah did you know he fired something from band of brothers for having dead eyes actually it's I I've read that article nobody click on it I have actually read that article they tried to use it for the vaccine it didn't work so instead they just injected it into the people who are working on the vaccine because it made them stronger and smarter because it's because it's Hanks Hanks juice and I'm changing it's an energy drink now I have notes brings you Hanks Hanks juice my favorite my favorite bit is let's let's I need to be done for a little bit I have a I have this is this is a amusing I had that I kind of wanted to like pose to y'all on the you know so not this week but next week is cross fingers knock on wood when cyberpunk 2077 comes out which I'm very excited about I wanted to ask you all as busy creative people who play video games sometimes at least what do you prefer and has it changed over time would you rather have like do you do you feel like time spent playing a game is more important or is it the experience does that make sense at all like do you do is it like is it is it like you know for every they said fun has had an old show about this $1 one hour but like it you know if you get if you get 60 hours out of a game but you got more enjoyment out of a shorter game is that better or do you feel like you need like more time played in the game to get your value out of it loaded question it is it is cuz I will tell you my answer anyway yeah it's like I I am at the point so I talked about this like last couple weeks but like I was able to get a piece 5 and I kind of go through phases with video games where like I'll I won't play for a while and then like I'll just play constantly like anytime I'm not working I'm like playing video game and so in the last like call it two or three weeks I've platt numbed Astros playroom bug snacks and I've a hundred percented Miles Morales Spider-Man and it feels good to say that out loud and it made me feel good when I saw the trophy and I was like I I mean I have I was playing video game but like I was like I finished something right I'm done with it and I don't need to go back unless I want to and I am really looking forward to cyberpunk and I am gonna play that really fuck out of it but anytime I find a big game like that I what inevitably happens is I play for about 20 to 30 hours and then I fall off and then I try and go back later and I forgot what happens I start over and then I say I play the first same 20 hours again I did that with Nino Cooney too I'm about to do that with avan children children Final Fantasy 7 remake so yeah I don't know I'm just I'm curious what y'all kind of like value more out of like a interactive experience like that there's a big question I know yeah it's important we're all we're all gamers the my first thought is like oh wow the context because I was also thinking about remake and Kingdom Hearts 3 Kingdom Hearts specifically I think as a is a better like talking point for me because it's like Kingdom Hearts 2 was a good 50 hours and that was a solid game in terms of just like from what I've talked about with like other people a lot of people will call Kingdom Hearts 2 their favorite even though they have so many problems with it you love to you love to hate it and then Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out and it was only a 25 to 30 hour game and the feeling after it was I waited how many years for this right only 30 hours of content you know what I mean yeah so but then you also take a step back and he's only 30 you know yeah right and it's just like oh that was a whole day of my life yeah and then remake there's it does depend because there's a point in remake where they really like cushioned out this one dungeon for a long time and my so who is playing it we were both kind of just like oh they did this on purpose didn't they it was it was kind of just like oh that one like part kind of was just like I don't know how we feel even though we know like this could this could have gone way faster right even though the I think the runtime was kind of short like you felt like they're maybe bloating it for yeah like a feeling of value yeah and so even though at the end of the day we're like this gave us no value frankly it was just like going up floors just to unlock a door right so maybe my answer is more more so it's about the experience instead of that value runtime yeah trash about you I'm I think experience too I feel like I feel like these days I only have it feels like I only have a couple of like pockets to play games in it's like an hour or two tops so I really want to make sure that like I'm having fun that entire time if that makes sense yeah you know so I want to like get the most for my time and I like don't I won't work hard to platinum a game but in like recent years I platinumed like God of War and Spider-Man because it was like fun to do those like right it was just like a part of the game was that you could also do this on the side instead of like grinding I guess but yeah I live for like the one hour two hour sessions that are like a blast the whole way through and if a game doesn't really do that for me then I probably will give it maybe 10 15 hours and then kind of give up on it I mean Erin you not too long ago you you finally beat Death Stranding yes finally after like a year of playing it on and off yeah yeah sometime earlier this year I kind of stopped and I'm at that point where I'm like I'm too tired to play video games after work super fair I love I love Death Stranding definitely like one of my top favorite games I could have easily put in even more hours than I did by the end of it but at that point I was like I've been playing this game for so fucking long and there's like so many others coming out that I still haven't played but want to so at a certain point it's like I have to like cut myself off but I don't know like I can't really go for any game like if some of my other favorites are like journey which is like maybe two hours at most I don't know two or three and I've played like the shit out of that and I can still go back and like play it again so I definitely think it's like the experience that was actually one of things that got me thinking about it was I last night streamed this game called a short hike and it is seriously like I played for like two and a half hours and I beat it and like already started working on some of the like 100% stuff and I was like on the one hand it's like you know I can't remember I think I bought it when I was on sale but I don't think I spent more than $10 on it so I was like you know I I am also you know fortunate enough like I'm an adult I have spending money I'm not I don't get one game a month and want that to last me until the next one so I can understand wanting to like have that go but like and maybe it's just a personal thing but like I have so many unfinished things going on like in my life like the idea I think I'm just a weird person like okay I was talking about like you know can you to this is turning into a therapy session so I'm gonna stop a second I fucking loved every second that I played of you know can you to but it was a lot of it and I just got tired and and I had other stuff come up so now when I think of you know can you to I do think of all those fun memories but I also think about the fact that it's I haven't finished it yeah that's me with male gear solid 5 like yeah my favorite franchise of all time and I literally stopped at the halfway point because like one it was like a good stopping point and then I just never got back to it and now it's been like what like three or four years since it came out and I'm like what the fuck was like doing in that game it was a lot of fun but like I don't I don't know what I was doing I said a genius idea I had a genius idea for a website but I'll tell you all about it offline so we can do it and then nobody else nobody's gonna do it okay yeah this is the team yeah I appreciate thank you I wanted to I just wait like and I say all of this I'm gonna play the fuck out of cyberpunk and it's gonna be awesome and maybe maybe I'll beat it and I'll be a good good gamer boy I'll be the best gamer boy probably I'll play it for like 30 hours because I think they're saying what one of the testers like played for like 140 hours and didn't finish it like like like a hundred percent it and it's just like I just don't have yeah I don't have that that oh that time yeah like I don't know like yeah for me that's where multiplayer games come in yeah where it's like at least in like I'm playing apex of time like it's like the game is changing and like the the every match is different but like yeah I just I don't know it's definite I think I've been talking a lot more about like the idea of a video game experience and gameplay and how fun gameplay is with my SO a lot lately because we've been coming across this thing of like what is the longevity of a game because how how is the system super like what makes a system super fun that you are enabled to keep playing it even though it's the same thing right like it's about how the systems evolve so they're going through yakuza like a dragon oh yeah yeah because it's an interesting installation in the yakuza series which has always been an action game but this is a turn based game now oh yeah they turn they have a funny way of like making it a role-playing game and we're playing turned turn based game because the main character thinks everything is like a like dragon quest so you're actually viewing it from his from his point of view that's amazing is it like a like Final Fantasy Pokemon or like a Final Fantasy tactics or like there are Pokemon elements to it exactly yeah it's real wacky I've seen a few people played on stream and it is I think you would like a carry okay yakuza itself as like a game series like I got into it because my so was playing it and it is such a good game series that all of your suspension of disbelief is kind of just like there because it's like oh this game is wild I love it like kind of a thing Rachel's the biggest in this entire company but um yeah like like a dragon like there's so many little bits of it where my so is like still going through this they were going through and playing the game and actually finishing a lot of different sub stories and stuff because of the rewards that it gives you so that that is essentially like what is the reward system for playing games and that's why a lot of more recent games or like multiplayer games are always like they have that loot box or they have those like little bits that will release that dopamine fix but is that really sustainable is that what is really going to enable you to keep playing the game I thought Josh because I mean you said you you planned them to the first like recent Spider-Man like I thought they've like super nailed that in my opinion like I'm working on the Miles Morales one right now but like you know there's a lot of collectibles there's a lot of like missions to do and a lot of them are kind of similar but it just feels so good to swing around yes and it feels so good to fight and like do like stealth and then go action that like I kind of don't care if I'm doing some of the same stuff over again yeah because it's different and I want to like I want to like for the little collectibles that you have to find in random pockets of the city it's like oh I want a reason to keep traversing this city because it's such a fun part of this game yeah have you okay I was gonna say that's me with like the newest Shadow of the Colossus remake like I've completed the story and now it's like after game you can go and do whatever it's like man this is real fucking fun to like party around on your horse for hours and like finding finding a little secret shit are you guys the kind of people who like actually read every single item and like I try to do the lore okay cool I can't not I just can't not I speed read a lot and I'll skim but I have to yeah books are the only thing I won't do yeah if there are books in game yeah I won't I won't do that all right well we got to wrap up no I know I don't want to but thank you all for being here thank you Josh for for coming on RVB still airing right now what time and day would that be Monday is at 10 a.m on the Rooster Teeth website hell yeah and then depending
