Guys welcome to the Lightways Podcast today. We have Brandon Rodger, 7 million subscribers on YouTube, 1.3 billion views, creating videos online since 2006, and he's on the brand new animated series on YouTube, hell of a boss, he is the voice actor of the lead character. Look at that, smirk.

Pilot episode got 52 million views.

52 million views, you know, and that's a day in the life, huh?

And the episode that came out last week, last week is that 8 million views with 40,000 comments. Deal with it.

Cock, I can't. I can't.

You're gonna have to. And that's just the gist of it. That's hell of a boss is a hell of a show.

That's insane. I have so many questions because hell of a boss is an animated show on YouTube specifically.

Specifically YouTube.

The creator, what's her name? Vivian Medrono.

And she created this animated show and she just had so much success with it on YouTube that it's strictly on YouTube.

She gets all these actors together to go in and you talk into the mic and then she creates the animations around it.

She's very good at, yeah, she's very good at casting characters that resemble their actors and vice versa. Actors that are great for those characters.

I mean, the characters are very, she casts very well.

That being said, I am a very big fan of the show, even apart from being in it. I think it's a wonderful show.

And it's a weird, it's like a very, it's a queer coded, weird show.

It's not like, you know, there's a lot of shows out there that depict queer characters in ways that, you know, straight people like to have them.

But these are like actually weird queer characters, you know, and we have characters that are trans that we don't address and whatnot in it.

And it's never a focal point of the show and it normalizes things that a lot of animated shows don't normalize.

And a lot of animated shows are made for like from producers for fans, whereas this is like from fans to fans.

Like the whole crew working on this are just a bunch of animation nerds, myself included.

And to be wrapped up in your own lore that you created your own show that you, you know, where it's so cool.

I can say all this because they're not my characters, so I can gloat that if it was my own characters, I would be much more humble and modest a little bit.
