Inside WM: How to Make All Mojoholics Happy – Ep. 14


hey mojo holics welcome to inside
watchmojo episode 14 I do not have
enough fingers for that so to start we’d
like to tell you that we crossed 7.5
million subs on YouTube which is another
nutty number which means we’re basically
adding half a million subs every 40 days
that’s correct that’s pretty impressive
that’s a lot of people considering we
had half a million subscribers sometime
in mid-2013 right now that thank you
very much yes thank you uh so I guess we
had some mojo Hollis kind of go bananas
over a couple of the topics we did
receive the Mojo Holly school bananas
all the time but yeah every time you do
something that’s a bit outside of like
the sweet spot of these movies and video
games and for example top 10 cookies or
top 10 dog breeds some of you lose your
now I would like to point out that
something might talk 10 dog breeds did
better than anything else we published
that day and even top 10 cookies I mean
come on guys that’s just like the next
in line we did fruits vegetables fast
food chips and you know I love those I
love those what the reality is so yes
this is what’s happening guys right um
and you who tuned in to watch inside
watchmojo you guys are kind of like you
know the board of directors you get the
inside scoop you guys get to set
strategy and then you’re the foot
soldiers out there kind of relaying the
message to the other feelings of
millions who watch our normal top 10 no
pressure no pressure but basically when
you have like 10,000 subs and then you
grow to a hundred thousand subs and then
500,000 sets a million and now 7.5 your
editorial kind of has to evolve now we
stay true to what you guys love which is
the top 10 list and yes some of you are
watching this newly added subscriber
saying what the hell is this crap give
us top 10 list but a lot of you are
always you know asking for us to stay
focus on the top tens and we do that but
we still have to kind of like reflect
the fact that as our audience gets more
and more mainstream and representative
of the universe or at least the online
universe or the universe on YouTube then
it makes sense to not just do movies not
just do video game top
less but also do the odd top 10 cookies
top 10 dog breeds and whatnot now if you
take a look at the last 30 days the most
popular care to guess now is the most
popular clip in the last 30 days that
we’ve done uh oh god it was a video of
your trip when you were in Cuba no I’m
kidding okay wait can I have a clue yes
it’s a it involves celebrities the
stupid things another one of the stupid
things i said dumb things no I slurries
no close its top ten good girl
celebrities God so yeah I mean we love
good girls and love bad girls even more
but the bottom line is that is a very
mainstream topic that a lot of people
are gonna care about so again we’ll
never forget why you guys tuned in tuned
in and subscribe but we’re gonna have
some out water clips that’s just that’s
what makes us special speaking of
outlier clips did you see last week’s
show with Chris our new trivia guru yes
yes so Chris so Chris worked with us in
one capacity or another a couple years
ago and two three weeks ago when I was
on a business trip he I guess he heard
us talk about trivia and game shows and
he reached out to me and I always
remember him in a positive light so I
just not sure why don’t you come on and
join us and see where things go and so I
you know I just to kind of continue what
Chris said we want to start doing more
trivia factual and eventually a game
show we realize that a game show is a
big piece to bite off let alone chew so
we’re going to start off with a you know
more trivia more fact-based content and
so the idea was for him to produce an
host the first trivia show so like
topics where you see then you’ll see
Chris i sat in on his pilot and my first
reaction and I emailed some guys was
this is positive i said chris is crazy i
love it it’s like you know Stephen
Colbert after you leave him alone with a
bottle of vodka and asking him to come
out and do his stuff it was great so you
guys some of you guys will love that
it’s a lot of personality some of you
guys will wonder what the hell does
and you know well you’ll never look at
the world in the same way but it is
entertaining and it makes you know
usually more dry factual trivia material
actually rather entertaining we saw the
pilot yesterday what did you think I
thought it was great yeah I thought it
was great really funny uh plus I’m a
sucker for trivia so what are you gonna
do that’s it so we’re going to do a lot
more of those kind of factual trivia
like questions as we build up to
eventually doing a game show now we did
do a whole survey so very briefly what
kind of game shows you guys like what do
you think they’d like more between
jeopardy families the mold ojala well I
read it I read the answers so you could
have pretended well I’m not gonna lie
okay so were you surprised but I was
surprised but only because I love
jeopardy but it was who wants to be a
millionaire actually I wasn’t that
surprised it’s very popular it’s very
popular and who wants to be a
millionaire to me is kind of like
jeopardy anyways everyone lane street
it’s jeopardy light it’s for everyone so
there’s a multiple choice there you go
so twenty six percent of you said Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire 23 finally 221
jeopardy now again I don’t want you get
the paraphrase will increment I don’t
want you guys to think I’m some kind of
kook who lives in an igloo in Canada and
makes all decisions based on suggestion
polls and results but I mean it is
important in the end the worst kept
secret is most entrepreneurs and most
you know startups kind of go follow
their gut anyway but it’s good to get
these kind of results so to move along
seventy-four percent of you said that
yes you would absolutely dial in or
skype or hangout face time with us to be
on the show were you surprised no would
you think which did you think I would be
higher or did you think 74 woodz I know
I think that’s a good number that’s a
good numbers out of four yeah most of
you set skype fifty-three percent then
face time then hang out 13 of you
thirteen percent said other we’ll skip
the categories because it was pretty
much split more or less eighty-nine
percent of you said yes absolutely
produce a game show don’t just focus on
top tens ninety-five percent of you said
you would watch I was very happy to hear
that well how do you feel bad yes we
will hold you to that up on the who
would host the game show a few
interesting things I think we kind of
knew I thought you would get like sixty
percent of the vote Stan would get
thirty percent of the votes and then 10
/ sun would be together more or less
twenty-seven percent said Rebecca
eighteen percent sedan 12 / sunset ash
five percent said
three percent such Chris which is goes
to show people like what their familiar
way that’s really all that proves and
what was interesting is seventeen
percent said other youtubers so are we
going to follow this where’s the
shredder no I’m kidding we are going to
take us into consideration that’s why we
ask and we will run a poll which would
not yet created asking you for some
names of the trivia show and the FAQ
show that was their frontrunner there I
like facts faq X okay which sounds weird
but it kind of follows with topics but
we might pin it it’ll all be explained
somewhere on the link underneath ok I
have am a reddit here and I think this
has to do with me yes yes yes so
basically someone on reddit asks for a
ask me anything with Rebecca so I think
there’s only look at dozen or so of up
boat so I’m bringing this up to you mojo
holics the link will be below as well if
you guys want to do and ask me anything
with Rebecca and read it you will have
to share that spread it and I don’t know
the number is but if it gets high enough
then we will contractually force Rebecca
to do that no one has asked me to do
this so there you go and for the record
I cannot contractually obligated to do
anything despite what you want I’ll do
it um also you may have noticed that we
have introduced a while ago actually
some new graphics in our videos right
yes so next week I won’t be on it’ll be
one of one or two other people it might
be Derek not finalized yet Derek yeah
well he will now it’s listening to us do
this so he may come on and talk about a
number of things you guys saw Mike we
talk about our freelance writer team
Derek manages our freelance video
editors and Derek of course used to be
infirmed the camera derek allen we still
get emails sometimes whatever happened
to Derek Allen he is still part of the
team he’s risen up the ranks and so he
may be on to talk about many things
including the HD stuff she’s gone okay
another day I watchmojo to follow up the
intro to the awkward series so yes yes
well it’s not okay so again if you go
back to that arrow and Derek wasn’t from
the camera believe it or not when we
launched in 2006 we did everything as
you guys know we also did skits now
we’re not gonna start doing skits it’s
kind of a distraction we want to focus
on on
top 10 list but when we launched the
awkward series we did an intro to that
series where we basically did what was
for all intents and purposes like a
short it was asked in our intention
wasn’t really to do many more of these
but it was basically like another day at
watchmojo where we kind of just laugh at
ourselves really improve that we have
way too much time on our hand so we will
follow that up with another one to be
published next week when you guys see
that and your fellow mojo holics go what
the hell is this we kindly ask you to
just explain to them and that’s pretty
much it okay last thing we have two more
job openings yeah these two are for full
timers in Montreal one would be someone
just to help out with administration and
whatnot finance boring stuff and the
other one would be someone to eventually
come on board to do human resources
again we’ve grown there’s a lot of
people and we need help with that so
more on the serious side of the company
but again if those if you know someone
or if you do that kind of stuff and you
want to be in a creative environment
than that maybe the job for you does
that mean we’re gonna have to start like
behaving in meetings I hope that I may
resign yes all right sue to change the
subject a little bit we have some
suggestions that need your help so check
these out top 10 anime world’s we wish
were real top 10 anime chefs and top 10
strangest animes well that’s a lot of
anime today we’re status for masochists
whichever one is inflicting pain on
ourselves yes that anyway i’m working on
top 10 it’s a series actually top 10
memorable TV characters of 70’s 80’s
90’s 2000s and 2010’s all different
lists lot of oh that’s a lot of lists I
wonder what the number one would be for
what’s you like if we were doing like
the all-time list I feel like Homer
Simpson would be high I feel like I
don’t know the honeymooner is late for
you guys contriving as well you guys can
chime in I’m working on top ten
political impersonations on SNL who’s
your favorite of all time Sarah Palin
either yeah George W Bush by Will
Ferrell which is pretty funny or any one
of those by Dana Carvey I’ve really
liked Darrell Hammond bill click or Gore
was very good to know but I think
actually know what Darrell Hammond built
and probably had many reasons number one
it’s very good those were the years I
watched a lot of SNL so uh so last week
we had Chris Mason on and he helped me
out with the trivia and he came up with
more complicated question that I could
ever come up with which involved ups are
dancers and what their native food would
be so there were four possible answers
and I will give you the correct one it
is some more o or Keiko an anon
resin which is a fish soup that comes
from Cambodia which is the home of ups
are dancers evidently so congratulations
to San Felix otherwise known as ad
madres sin who got the answer right
there were a lot of people who got the
answer right so I’m very impressed but
there you go i will failed professor
macys class for sure you’re not a
gossamer no it’s bit that’s the other
thing well that’s one thing I got out of
watching the pilot I am going to sue
path yeah well Chris’s intern yeah it’s
good um which is good i don’t like easy
trivia anyway don’t forget to email us
at contest at watchmojo.com to claim
your prize and send us your shipping
info you guys like easy girls they’re
just don’t like easy trivia I’m sorry
that’s just wrong and inappropriate HR
department yeah okay start taking notes
i’m mr. i think that’s why we need an HR
department because i don’t think i
should be running no comment anyway so
we also had a comment contest last week
for our Canadian fans because we have
six blu-ray copies of into the woods to
give away however we had a grand total
of zero entries are you guys there are
you listening oh here’s a frozen lesson
try it again I did come up with a
finally a good one for the cold cuts and
not even the cold cuts it was actually
it was cheese it was she’s sorry if we
would have instead of cold cuts out of
cheese the cold cuts I would have gone
with black forest gump right which was
still not good but better than the
federal one idea and then somebody had
the joke wasn’t that just called radio
yeah well anyway um I love that so it
was we were asking you guys about your
favorite fairy tales so this week we’ll
try it again but we’ll kind of spice it
up a bit so since it’s out for our
Canadian fans only we are asking you
guys to come up with the title of you
Canadian fairy tale so I have a few
examples some are better than others I
came up with some of them that’s why
they’re not so good so we have the Pied
Piper of Hamilton a little red riding
took the princess and the puck or Snow
White and more snow oh yeah that that’s
Krista there you go so don’t forget the
hashtag WM question and we need how many
six people to enter at least so please
do that so I would say instead of
miracle lucky Americans bad one I get
you guys see what you did that not a
fairy tale but what do you know yeah
another fairy well actually uh it is for
them hittas ooh anyway a comment of the
week saw the way the NHL playoffs are
