watchmojo episode 12 as you can see we
are both back in town ash from Des
Moines and rebekah from Cuba yes uh what
were you doing in Des Moines anyone ever
doing in Iowa I want to know but I’m
auditioning for slip though right uh
what mask were you gonna work good
question if I were to ever joined
Slipknot who’s originally from Des
Moines I think I’d go just for the Mojo
mask it seems like a pretty obvious
right pick uh okay but seriously what
were you doing a joint announcing my
candidacy to become president of the
United States of America aren’t you
Canadian true but so is Ted Cruz so
what’s your point right this is gonna be
a very productive show yeah you’re not
gonna answer so I so move you may find
out a bunch big news in mojo land we are
expanding yeah so we’ve been in this
office for two years now we have 2,500
square feet where we shoot where we
we’ve expanded quite a bit so literally
at any moment today the landlord is
gonna come and kick them something I’m
kidding just going to come and give us
the keys to an extra two thousand square
foot office / studio downstairs and
we’re very excited about that and want
to thank you for you know watching our
videos and you know helping us expand
and grow well what are we gonna use
downstairs for uh well it’s good for us
to have more office space just four more
bodies but most likely we’re gonna keep
everybody here just rejigger bit the
layout and shoot downstairs cuz what
might we shoot well we shoot in
sidewalks watchmojo obviously upstairs
with you know we’re disturbing these
fine ladies and gentleman in the
background dan films topics here
literally right there you used to do
what’s your mojo with then we used to do
watch won’t do I fake you right there so
as we expand it just makes sense for us
to have a separate space I know you used
to do a cooking show which maybe we’ll
bring back and have some of the mojo
holics ask us about that we’re gonna do
a video game show that we’re going to
launch probably in the next three months
or within the next three months in q2
and we’ve also hinted at a game show
trivia game show so we’ll start doing
that you’re going to start seeing a lot
more
fermentation and pilots what’s happening
which adrian and Jeremy did so it’s just
it made sense for a set of extra space
so we’re gonna get a lot more bring us
just top 10 comments again yeah exactly
what’s this crap give us what we want
now I think is a good time to mention
and feature the like good users on the
suggest page and on this all good
wizards you mean that happy yeah the top
heavy users hardcore users yes why well
for the past month we’ve been hinting at
changes to the suggest tool to make it
more interactive more useful more
powerful and it kind of dawned on us
that you know there are out of the
hundred thousand plus users who use the
tool actively there are about 10 20 30
40 who are very very active so we want
to get the at least a top 10 something
okay so they’re gonna have like a
leaderboard well there’s already a
leaderboard but the top 10 on the
leaderboard we’re just gonna contact you
get your mailing address you send you
like a literal something that’s good
literally exactly like t-shirts caps
mugs you know other paraphernalia
dividends yes speaking of the suggests
page we obviously have some suggest
pages that we need your help with so
take a look and vote top 10 album leaks
top 10 songs most used at a funeral and
top 10 coming out of the closet scenes
in TV I guess Ellen would be number one
of that the only one I can think of Tom
Cruise South Park but yeah I think Allen
movie he’s literally coming out of the
closet like them is that a spoiler no
that’s nice boy literally anyway uh so
I’m working on this week a series
actually and it is quite
all-encompassing its top ten events of
round number years since it’s 2015 so in
1985 1990 1995 two thousand and two
thousand five do you have one event from
either one of those years that stands
out for you well back to the painter
came out in 1985 so I was the oj verdict
and 2000 the 95 or 94 mm I think that
yeah the verdict might have been nice
that’s it was 95 the alleged was 94 but
i think the verdict
I remember that we were yeah and the the
chase was on my birthday oh really yeah
it interrupted the show is watching it
as I quit Oh what are you working on I’m
working on top ten magazines of all time
Oh most probably be North American slant
so it’ll be like top 10 iconic you know
whether you’re talking rolling stone or
fortune or time or you know people will
look at obviously circulation brand
reach just you know how iconic was it
you always see Rolling Stone breaking
some story or whatnot so what’s your
favorite magazine ball time I don’t
actually read a lot of magazines I mean
I I read like on the beach I’ll read
like people stylewatch which is like
they’re just fashion is that what you’re
reading last week on I did have it yes
and I like bright cosmos for like a club
are you gonna show pictures of your trip
with the Mojo hallways you most kick him
I took a panorama of the beach they I I
do that all this yeah it’s cool I’ve no
I’ve taken like to panorama on my
Twitter I think the background picture
is a panorama of me outside Club Med
cancun not the side where the beach is
because you see a lot of rocks but the
other side which is just you know where
the ISIS or the Pirates which kind of
you know the al-qaida Somalia would show
up on their boats right of course so we
were speaking of magazines um will there
be a watch mojo magazine we planning on
doing everything else ya know we discuss
everything um you know considering that
the Mojo all it’s our comic book trends
so print product right it’s not that
far-fetched to think well maybe we might
have like a special issue where you you
know find out more about Rebecca’s
private travel plans or you know a Q&A
with like you know someone else or like
featured Mulder holics or interviews
with celebrities right like jay-z
yesterday well you’re gonna see this
probably in a few days but earlier this
week then jay-z launched his new you
know music platform like it’s not that
far-fetched for us to sit down with
someone like jay-z launches a big
product or a new album and say hey you
know what is this about and you know
it’s kind of like a treat for the Mojo
holics I personally don’t think so i
think at the end of the day are you know
or our fans are they watch videos
they’re into movies TV music and video
games I don’t know how much they read
magazines frankly I don’t know anybody
that really reads magazine so maybe not
but I don’t honey this begs the question
should we have at one point like a
special collector’s issue like on paper
on paper yeah because one of our
colleagues said well why don’t you think
an online magazine and that’s great and
that’s probably much smarter is he’s
much smarter than I am but yeah why not
why not have like a special let’s say
when we reach 10 million subscribers if
knock on wood we reach 10 million
subscribers why not have a collectors
you know mojo holla collectors issue
what do you think bad idea good idea
horrible idea let us know yeah I
personally don’t have an opinion I mean
on top of the book that we had discussed
the book is happening but the book well
we’ll talk about the book of the later
days not going to either tangents so
because I wasn’t technically here last
week although I was on the show we have
a build up of contests for which we must
announce the winners so firstly was a
couple weeks ago we had the what’s your
favorite spring activity contest so get
we’re giving this one to Michael
Goldberg also known as M Goldberg 19 who
said my favorite spring activity is a
nostalgic kite flying session at the
park have you ever flown a kite I’ve
never flown a kite have you I have AI
think i think i had a kite that said mtv
on it i really don’t know why yeah there
could be many inappropriate jokes there
which will just bypass i got up in any
way for our online faux pas contest
because ash used to use winky faces and
places happy which many of you seem to
enjoy in a few of you were just confused
as to where I learned to internet uh we
are giving it to josh diamond also known
as luxor man who had this awkward moment
i was in the same room as my grand once
and meant to text her a nice nice shirt
i mistyped and missed the are I’m
impressed with the grandma who’s next
associated argan micro daughter doesn’t
even turn her phone on so anyway so to
this week’s contest we’re gonna do
something a little different we’re going
to talk about cheese
movies but do I mean cheesy movies i do
not i want you to tweet us a movie title
but replace one word with a type of
cheese so for example Monterey Jack
Reacher huh or the Gouda the bad and the
ugly those were not take credit for
either of those but anyway skillman gone
with the feta well I mean it’s a cheesy
pick contest what’s your do you have one
that’s original I know I got nothing you
got a week to come up first thing I
would come up with one that’s really
good I last week I saw one on Twitter it
was replaced song titles with sausage so
I said you don’t pour some sausage on me
bat sausage so this involves a little
bit of creative this is a bit tough fun
in it anyway so don’t forget to hashtag
WM question and please join us in all of
our plenty pneus have we published the
top 10 cheese now what’s your favorite
cheese probably shed goat cheese okay
that’s not it yeah Oh anyway what’s on
tap for next week so yeah next week I
won’t be on there will be most likely
somebody on who does not even work here
yet but tomorrow a gentleman will walk
in through the door and he actually has
appeared and let’s build a little bit of
intrigue gear he’s actually appeared in
the original pilot that we did for a TV
company and he was one of like the
personalities featured but he also has
worked in development so we’re gonna
bring him on to kind of just take the
game show trivia series so either trivia
either game show or trivia game show
series videos and just kind of take it
from concept to reality it’s something
we’ve kicked around for a while but
we’re all very busy so in order to make
that go from concept to reality he’s
going to be with us for a couple weeks
and I thought you know what it would be
great if he came on here next week and
you could basically talk to him and just
you know he could also tap into your
collective wisdom to see what we would
like to see in the show what it should
be like what it shouldn’t be like so
he’ll be all next week his name is
you’ll find out next week I actually met
him when I was in high school small
world I know it is uh so the pilot we
touched on that early
in another watchmojo faq episode or
something yeah but you never said what
the media company was that we did it for
him huh all right well I guess we could
talk about it it was actually Mark
Cuban’s access formally hdnet so mark
and I once in a blue moon just exchange
ideas he’s actually not that’s not sound
special he does that I mean if you email
and right now he’ll get back to you
within 15 minutes he’s very gracious of
his time it’s great guy legend so we
were exchanging ideas and he was like
hey I’m Chris was like when we had a to
300,000 subscribers so this goes back a
couple years he was like I’m pretty
impressed with what you guys are doing a
lot more Joe we’re looking for
programming what do you think so we
started to chitchat and at the time I
actually told him that look if the we’ll
do a pilot but if the watch module
channel keeps growing we may not want to
do a kind of unbranded or like little
byline produced by watch module pilot
and we may want to do our like focus on
you guys any guy was like yeah no
problem and then a few months later we
did I literally uncanny how yes it
happened at the exact same time it is
yeah and then we start to grow and at
the time we kind of did the deal we had
let’s say to 300,000 subscribers when we
delivered him the pilot we had like
three quarters of a million subscribers
and it was really hard we discussed it
as a team when I spoke some advisors and
lawyers as well and we kind of went to
him and said look we love you but it
doesn’t make sense for us to do this
pilot for some other random media
company we’re actually going to bet on
YouTube and the Mojo holics and then we
cross the million subscribers in October
the data Red Sox won in 2013 the World
Series that’s when we hit a meal and
like Rain Man memory we hit a million
subscribers and now we have seven yeah
that’s baseball now we have seven point
three seven point four million subs so
it was absolutely the right thing to do
mark was a bit upset to put it mildly
but I think he understood in the end but
that was the story and then we basically
sent him back the money for the pilot
just so there would be no hard feelings
and then we ended up using the topix
name for dance show and now we have
other media companies that want us to do
pilots for them so it all kind of worked
out but um yeah but so you chose the
Mojo holics over Marky
we chose the Mojo holics over Mark Cuban
was a great guy but I think it makes
sense I think you guys are happy with
that decision um do we have a comment
over the weekend on since we’re doing
that yes I believe we do so last week
when we announced that we would be
moving to high-definition one viewer
said right so I just should read this
mess key again I can’t read this mess
Kia kasher and Bree I ruined it I’m
sorry said how about a shift to
high-quality content sassy yeah I
thought he or she was being sassy but
you know they just went on and bashed us
for being too American centric and
they’re not you know we chimed in and we
kind of replied and but that was pretty
pretty would he replied oh so sure what
do you want work yeah thanks for
watching go to see you next week
watchmojo episode 12 as you can see we
are both back in town ash from Des
Moines and rebekah from Cuba yes uh what
were you doing in Des Moines anyone ever
doing in Iowa I want to know but I’m
auditioning for slip though right uh
