WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.105
Ladies and gentlemen,

00:00:01.789 --> 00:00:04.126
Walmart has entered the metaverse.

00:00:04.126 --> 00:00:07.373
(whooping, cheering, clapping noises)

00:00:07.663 --> 00:00:08.345
Finally.

00:00:08.345 --> 00:00:09.077
That's right, Greg.

00:00:09.077 --> 00:00:11.694
Through one of the most popular
children's games in the world,

00:00:11.694 --> 00:00:15.293
Walmart is now an actual destination
in the metaverse

00:00:15.293 --> 00:00:18.348
where you can go to have fun, play, learn,

00:00:18.348 --> 00:00:19.484
and of course,

00:00:19.873 --> 00:00:21.224
buy things from Walmart.

00:00:21.224 --> 00:00:22.671
And that is what I will be doing today.

00:00:22.671 --> 00:00:25.038
I personally cannot wait to get into
Walmart's metaverse,

00:00:25.038 --> 00:00:27.848
look around, explore, 
it looks fun as hell.

00:00:27.925 --> 00:00:30.195
One of the biggest corporations
in the entire world

00:00:30.195 --> 00:00:32.680
advertising to young children in
a video game?

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:34.032
Uh, let's just say

00:00:34.032 --> 00:00:35.098
Daddy likey.

00:00:35.098 --> 00:00:35.845
But before we do that,

00:00:35.845 --> 00:00:39.133
before I show you the actual
Walmart metaverse experience.

00:00:39.133 --> 00:00:40.338
I was surprised to find out

00:00:40.338 --> 00:00:43.350
that this actually isn't Walmart's first
metaverse project.

00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:44.473
A few months ago,

00:00:44.473 --> 00:00:47.635
apparently Walmart was sort of laughed
off the internet

00:00:47.635 --> 00:00:52.311
because this video surfaced demoing
their "vision of the future of shopping"

00:00:52.311 --> 00:00:53.231
in the metaverse.

00:00:53.231 --> 00:00:57.864
And not only did this failed experiment
not look like it made shopping any better,

00:00:57.864 --> 00:00:59.885
it, like, actively made it worse.

00:00:59.885 --> 00:01:03.758
You know how instead of like, a store
with colorful aisles full of products

00:01:03.758 --> 00:01:05.930
and people from your community
shopping around,

00:01:05.930 --> 00:01:08.725
you'd much rather shop in a dystopian
void of a Walmart

00:01:08.725 --> 00:01:10.726
that's been abandoned for 
a thousand years?

00:01:12.775 --> 00:01:13.305
You d--

00:01:13.305 --> 00:01:14.135
Oh, you do?

00:01:14.135 --> 00:01:16.212
Okay, that was meant to be sarcastic
but you actually do?

00:01:16.212 --> 00:01:17.677
Okay, well, then maybe you'll like this.

00:01:17.677 --> 00:01:21.451
(futuristic synth noise)

00:01:21.451 --> 00:01:22.741
(industrial door-opening sound)

00:01:22.741 --> 00:01:24.516
[Woman] Hi! Thanks for visiting Walmart.

00:01:24.516 --> 00:01:26.667
I will be your shopping
assistant module today,

00:01:26.667 --> 00:01:28.422
but you can call me SAM for short.

00:01:28.422 --> 00:01:30.312
[Danny] Look man, I already feel like

00:01:30.312 --> 00:01:34.083
kind of dystopian going to a regular
Walmart in the real world,

00:01:34.083 --> 00:01:37.194
but this actually feels like I'm like a
test subject in some kind of

00:01:37.194 --> 00:01:38.554
psychological experiment.

00:01:38.554 --> 00:01:40.670
What is this void? Where am I right now?

00:01:40.670 --> 00:01:41.503
[SAM] Let's get started.

00:01:41.503 --> 00:01:43.024
I have your shopping list loaded up

00:01:43.024 --> 00:01:45.680
and I'm tracking your oil change so 
I can let you know as soon as it's done.

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:46.579
[Danny] Now I don't know about you,

00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:50.154
but when I go to the store, if an employee
asks me if I need help finding anything,

00:01:50.154 --> 00:01:53.113
I say no every time, even
if I DO need help

00:01:53.113 --> 00:01:54.533
because I'm a nervous person.

00:01:54.533 --> 00:01:57.805
So this? 
This scenario is like a nightmare to me.

00:01:57.805 --> 00:02:01.950
Just having an employee floating
2 feet in front of me at all times

00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:04.661
just locking eyes with me,
recommending products,

00:02:04.661 --> 00:02:06.029
is actually a nightmare.

00:02:06.029 --> 00:02:09.906
It's like my worst-case scenario when I
go to a store, but if it just never ended.

00:02:09.906 --> 00:02:12.795
It also doesn't help that she's like,
literally telling you what to do,

00:02:12.795 --> 00:02:14.357
she's not even making suggestions.

00:02:14.357 --> 00:02:16.020
[SAM] You see the tomato 
sauce on your left?

00:02:16.140 --> 00:02:18.315
Go ahead and grab that and then
place it in your cart.

00:02:18.315 --> 00:02:19.369
[Danny] You see the tomato sauce?

00:02:19.369 --> 00:02:20.237
Grab it.

00:02:20.362 --> 00:02:21.026
Put it in your cart.

00:02:21.026 --> 00:02:22.502
You said you wanted tomato sauce, right?

00:02:22.624 --> 00:02:23.415
It's right there.

00:02:23.415 --> 00:02:24.489
Put it in the cart now.

00:02:24.489 --> 00:02:28.283
There's no time for browsing and
taking your time in the Walmart Metaverse.

00:02:28.283 --> 00:02:29.178
Get your shit

00:02:29.178 --> 00:02:30.171
and LEAVE.

00:02:30.171 --> 00:02:33.486
How is this any better than 
shopping normally?

00:02:33.486 --> 00:02:36.532
They had every opportunity to make
shopping, like, a breeze,

00:02:36.532 --> 00:02:39.611
Like, I feel like the most 
efficient form of shopping

00:02:39.611 --> 00:02:41.811
is ki-- is just like, ordering it online.

00:02:41.811 --> 00:02:45.843
They didn't need to take the actual
physical experience of going to Walmart

00:02:45.843 --> 00:02:46.777
and put it in VR.

00:02:46.777 --> 00:02:48.461
If I'm not going to the store anymore,

00:02:48.461 --> 00:02:52.801
it's like, the actual act of putting
a tomato sauce in my cart

00:02:52.801 --> 00:02:54.152
is not the part I'm gonna miss.

00:02:54.152 --> 00:02:56.521
It's probably gonna be, like, human
contact, or just, like,

00:02:56.521 --> 00:02:59.770
feeling like I live-- I exist in a
real social world.

00:02:59.770 --> 00:03:00.674
[SAM] Great!

00:03:00.674 --> 00:03:01.910
Looks like you need a good wine pairing.

00:03:01.910 --> 00:03:02.938
Take a look to your right.

00:03:02.938 --> 00:03:03.733
(metallic clink sound)

00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:06.723
Your age has already been pre-verified
through your profile,

00:03:06.723 --> 00:03:08.157
so no need to wait for an ID check!

00:03:08.269 --> 00:03:08.669
(bottle crashing)

00:03:08.669 --> 00:03:10.072
[Danny] I love how in this
supposedly, like

00:03:10.072 --> 00:03:13.774
futuristic utopian version of
Walmart in the future,

00:03:13.774 --> 00:03:17.200
we're already being upsold to buy shit
that we didn't want.

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:19.109
It's like, "Okay, you wanted pasta sauce,

00:03:19.109 --> 00:03:20.424
go ahead and buy a wine with that.

00:03:20.424 --> 00:03:22.617
You can't have pasta sauce
without wine, right?

00:03:22.617 --> 00:03:25.828
And also here's $5 off a 
VUDU movie rental,

00:03:25.828 --> 00:03:27.575
you're gonna wanna buy a movie as well.

00:03:27.575 --> 00:03:29.098
And then, oh, you're watching a movie?

00:03:29.098 --> 00:03:30.650
Head on over to our gun department.

00:03:30.650 --> 00:03:32.261
You're gonna want a gun with that movie."

00:03:32.261 --> 00:03:35.127
Also I haven't even bought pasta,
or meat yet.

00:03:35.127 --> 00:03:38.070
Why is red wine the thing I need to pair
with the pasta sauce?

00:03:38.070 --> 00:03:39.446
I need the rest of my meal.

00:03:39.446 --> 00:03:43.667
Or am I just, like sipping on glass of
wine and one glass of pasta sauce

00:03:43.667 --> 00:03:45.679
while I watch my VUDU rental movie?

00:03:45.679 --> 00:03:48.669
[SAM] I'm getting a notification
from your connected smart fridge.

00:03:49.132 --> 00:03:51.572
It looks like you already have a full
gallon of milk at home.

00:03:52.085 --> 00:03:53.032
Should we put this one back?

00:03:53.032 --> 00:03:53.728
[Danny] Sorry?

00:03:53.728 --> 00:03:55.361
My FRIDGE told you that?

00:03:55.361 --> 00:03:58.776
The sheer passive aggressive in
this Walmart employee's voice.

00:03:58.776 --> 00:03:59.831
"Hey, so, um,

00:04:00.571 --> 00:04:03.631
I noticed you have a gallon of milk
in your cart, but, uh,

00:04:03.631 --> 00:04:05.467
I was just talking to your smart fridge

00:04:05.467 --> 00:04:07.598
and he told me you already
have milk at home.

00:04:07.774 --> 00:04:08.762
Should we put the milk back?

00:04:08.762 --> 00:04:10.585
Should wittle baby put the milk back?

00:04:10.585 --> 00:04:13.442
Did wittle baby forget that
we have milk at home?

00:04:13.442 --> 00:04:15.275
(action music)
Did you forget in this dystopian world

00:04:15.275 --> 00:04:16.437
there's a milk shortage?

00:04:16.437 --> 00:04:17.836
Are you trying to hoard milk?

00:04:17.836 --> 00:04:20.892
Also stop talking to my fridge behind
my back, dude. What the hell?

00:04:20.892 --> 00:04:25.624
Why are smart fridges so integral to
every corporation's version of the future?

00:04:25.624 --> 00:04:29.559
I do not want my fridge snitching on me
to Walmart, okay?

00:04:32.627 --> 00:04:33.243
(beep beep)

00:04:33.248 --> 00:04:36.528
[Danny] Damn, you can really feel the
anger through the screen in that toss.

00:04:36.528 --> 00:04:38.859
"Fine, I'll fucking put the
milk back, dude.

00:04:38.859 --> 00:04:40.065
Stop talking to my fridge!"

00:04:40.065 --> 00:04:42.559
Just every part of this is so eerie.

00:04:42.559 --> 00:04:45.139
What is with the hum
throughout this video?

00:04:45.139 --> 00:04:48.113
They could've had, like,
fun music playing, you know,

00:04:48.113 --> 00:04:50.949
you go to like, Target or Walmart 
and they're playing, like, Ed Sheeran.

00:04:50.949 --> 00:04:53.849
It's like they're making it eerie and
dystopian on purpose.

00:04:53.849 --> 00:04:55.943
Every time you pick up an item
from the shelf

00:04:55.943 --> 00:04:59.777
all of the shelves descend into the
underworld and new shelves come up.

00:04:59.777 --> 00:05:01.381
That's really comforting, I gotta say.

00:05:01.381 --> 00:05:03.445
There's something so comforting
about them being like,

00:05:03.445 --> 00:05:04.807
"NO YOU DON'T MOVE, ALRIGHT?

00:05:04.807 --> 00:05:05.936
THE SHELVES MOVE.

00:05:05.936 --> 00:05:07.064
You stay right where you are.

00:05:07.064 --> 00:05:08.939
The milk will come to you.

00:05:08.939 --> 00:05:10.914
(distorted) The gun aisle 
will come to you.

00:05:10.914 --> 00:05:12.695
[SAM] Good news! Your oil change is done.

00:05:12.695 --> 00:05:15.065
Your vehicle will be ready at the
Tire and Lube Express.

00:05:15.065 --> 00:05:17.077
[Danny] Okay, now wait, so
this is confusing.

00:05:17.077 --> 00:05:17.728
Am I...

00:05:18.647 --> 00:05:21.077
at a Walmart with a VR
headset on?

00:05:21.077 --> 00:05:23.180
This whole time I thought this was
something you do from home.

00:05:23.180 --> 00:05:24.699
You go around, pick out all your items,

00:05:24.699 --> 00:05:27.349
and then Walmart will come and
drop your stuff off.

00:05:27.349 --> 00:05:30.776
But she just said that my car's getting
an oil change right now--

00:05:30.776 --> 00:05:32.506
[SAM] Good news! Your oil change is done.

00:05:32.506 --> 00:05:34.257
[Danny] At the Lube Express or whatever?

00:05:34.257 --> 00:05:35.674
[SAM] At the Tire and Lube Express.

00:05:35.674 --> 00:05:37.002
[Danny] The Tire and Lube Express.

00:05:37.002 --> 00:05:38.107
That's right, that's what I said.

00:05:38.107 --> 00:05:38.788
So...

00:05:39.007 --> 00:05:40.478
I drove to Walmart,

00:05:40.478 --> 00:05:43.550
dropped my car off at the Tire
and Lube Express,

00:05:43.550 --> 00:05:45.156
And then went into Walmart

00:05:45.156 --> 00:05:47.337
and then just put on a VR headset?

00:05:47.337 --> 00:05:49.704
At that point, I-- why can't I just shop?

00:05:49.704 --> 00:05:51.480
Why do I need to be wearing a VR headset?

00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.279
I'm so confused.

00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.335
(ominous humming and
machine hissing noises)

00:05:55.335 --> 00:05:57.296
[Danny] I feel like these hands
say so much

00:05:57.296 --> 00:05:59.706
about the emotion of the person
watching this happen.

00:05:59.706 --> 00:06:01.390
Would you say that this person is, like,

00:06:01.390 --> 00:06:04.132
happy or terrified about
what's going on right now?

00:06:04.132 --> 00:06:12.932
(machinery hissing noises,
dark scary piano music)

00:06:12.932 --> 00:06:14.586
[SAM] I'll have the TV
brought out to your car.

00:06:15.900 --> 00:06:16.785
(confirmation ding)

00:06:16.785 --> 00:06:18.033
(drone hums to life)

00:06:18.033 --> 00:06:22.276
[Danny] Okay, so my shopping cart
is going to my car to load my groceries,

00:06:22.276 --> 00:06:26.004
this drone is just gonna deliver the TV
straight to my house,

00:06:26.004 --> 00:06:29.324
and then I notice that I'm not leaving
the Walmart?

00:06:29.324 --> 00:06:31.843
I notice that my cart and the TV
get to leave

00:06:32.345 --> 00:06:32.868
and I don't?

00:06:32.868 --> 00:06:33.843
There any reason for that?

00:06:33.843 --> 00:06:35.669
(dark scary piano music)
"Okay, your groceries will be delievered

00:06:35.669 --> 00:06:37.547
to your smart fridge as a sacrifice,

00:06:37.547 --> 00:06:39.308
and you will remain here forever.

00:06:39.308 --> 00:06:40.630
Thank you for shopping at Walmart."

00:06:40.630 --> 00:06:42.826
Okay. I think you guys have
waited long enough.

00:06:42.826 --> 00:06:45.097
You wanna see the REAL DEAL.

00:06:45.097 --> 00:06:47.198
That experiment obviously did not work,

00:06:47.198 --> 00:06:49.618
people were like,
"What the HELL is wrong with you?

00:06:49.618 --> 00:06:51.280
Of course we don't want this."

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:53.335
So now it's time to look at Walmart's

00:06:53.335 --> 00:06:57.590
actual, real-life, currently live venture
into the metaverse.

00:06:57.590 --> 00:07:02.752
Walmart enters the metaverse with Roblox
experiences aimed at young shoppers.

00:07:02.752 --> 00:07:04.762
Young shoppers, young shoppers,

00:07:04.762 --> 00:07:06.745
I feel like there's another word for that,

00:07:06.745 --> 00:07:09.680
another word that they're not using
for some r--

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:10.603
Oh, CHILDREN!

00:07:10.603 --> 00:07:13.398
Yeah, that's right, we usually call
young shoppers "children."

00:07:13.398 --> 00:07:14.577
But I guess at the end of the day

00:07:14.577 --> 00:07:16.833
children are basically just young
shoppers, aren't they?

00:07:16.833 --> 00:07:18.220
Congratulations ma'am,

00:07:18.466 --> 00:07:21.328
you've given birth to a beautiful
young male shopper.

00:07:21.328 --> 00:07:23.146
Oh, thank you so much!

00:07:23.146 --> 00:07:26.220
I can't wait for him to grow up and shop
just like his father.

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:27.311
Isn't that right, sweetie?

00:07:27.311 --> 00:07:28.500
(people talking, dark scary piano music)

00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:31.126
Walmart is entering the metaverse with two
experiences:

00:07:31.126 --> 00:07:36.253
Walmart Land and Walmart's Universe of
Play in gaming platform Roblox.

00:07:36.253 --> 00:07:38.299
Walmart's marketing chief, William White,

00:07:38.299 --> 00:07:40.873
said the company will use Roblox
as a testing ground

00:07:40.873 --> 00:07:43.781
as it considers other moves in
the metaverse and beyond.

00:07:43.781 --> 00:07:45.814
Definitely makes it sound like they're
using this opportunity

00:07:45.814 --> 00:07:47.869
to sort of experiment on children.

00:07:47.869 --> 00:07:51.197
Which I guess makes sense as to why
they're not using the word "children,"

00:07:51.197 --> 00:07:53.869
cause there's lots of laws against
advertising to children.

00:07:53.869 --> 00:07:55.078
But there are no laws,

00:07:55.078 --> 00:07:56.144
as far as I know,

00:07:56.144 --> 00:07:58.344
about advertising to young shoppers.

00:07:58.344 --> 00:07:59.364
Ah, I just remembered,

00:07:59.364 --> 00:08:00.606
that's my favorite show.

00:08:00.606 --> 00:08:02.374
My favorite Big Bang
Theory spin-off.

00:08:02.374 --> 00:08:03.128
Young Shopper.

00:08:03.128 --> 00:08:06.019
The retail giant's first foray
into the virtual world

00:08:06.019 --> 00:08:08.395
will feature a blimp that drops toys,

00:08:08.395 --> 00:08:10.685
a music festival with hot artists--

00:08:10.685 --> 00:08:11.660
I hope they mean, like,

00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:13.004
sexy.

00:08:13.004 --> 00:08:15.197
The most ATTRACTIVE artists
we could find.

00:08:15.197 --> 00:08:16.874
Yassified Van Gogh.
("Believe" by Cher plays)

00:08:16.874 --> 00:08:18.109
-- a bunch of different games,

00:08:18.109 --> 00:08:21.700
and a store full of virtual
merchandise, or "verch" --

00:08:21.700 --> 00:08:23.934
I think I wanna throw up from
reading that sentence.

00:08:23.934 --> 00:08:26.980
-- which matches what customers
may find in Walmart's stores

00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:27.915
and on its website.

00:08:27.915 --> 00:08:31.300
Walmart is trying to make
themselves seem SO COOL to children.

00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:34.342
A blimp that drops toys and
music festivals?

00:08:34.342 --> 00:08:37.687
Kids that grow up going
to Walmart Land in Roblox

00:08:37.687 --> 00:08:41.148
are gonna be so disappointed the
first time they actually go to a Walmart.

00:08:41.148 --> 00:08:42.258
They're gonna walk in,

00:08:42.258 --> 00:08:45.694
there's like a small cowboy kid
yodeling in the corner,

00:08:45.694 --> 00:08:49.637
in another corner there's an employee
in a physical altercation with a customer.

00:08:49.637 --> 00:08:51.994
They're like bashing
the customer's head in,

00:08:51.994 --> 00:08:53.309
the poor kid is like,

00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.934
"Where's the blimp that drops toys?"

00:08:55.934 --> 00:08:59.104
For now, Walmart won't make money
from its immersive experiences.

00:08:59.104 --> 00:09:01.247
Gamers can earn tokens and other rewards

00:09:01.247 --> 00:09:03.368
to put towards virtual
merchandise on Roblox.

00:09:03.368 --> 00:09:07.493
Brands like L.O.L Surprise! and
Skullcandy headphones

00:09:07.493 --> 00:09:09.402
were included in the experiences based on

00:09:09.402 --> 00:09:12.621
their popularity with Roblox's
younger audience of gamers.

00:09:12.621 --> 00:09:14.168
Still not using the word "children."

00:09:14.168 --> 00:09:15.255
No, now they're young gamers.

00:09:15.255 --> 00:09:17.328
Walmart COULD make money from it
in the future--

00:09:17.328 --> 00:09:18.035
Oh.

00:09:18.880 --> 00:09:19.440
You think?

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:23.600
You think Walmart MIGHT somehow
be trying to find out a way to make money

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:24.393
from this?

00:09:24.897 --> 00:09:25.562
(scoffs)

00:09:25.796 --> 00:09:26.596
I don't know man.

00:09:26.596 --> 00:09:27.927
Seems a little far-fetched to me.

00:09:27.927 --> 00:09:29.219
I kind of assumed they were doing this

00:09:29.219 --> 00:09:30.030
pro bono.
(bass-boosted buzzing)

00:09:30.030 --> 00:09:33.715
Universe of Play has games that feature
items from Walmart's top toy list

00:09:33.715 --> 00:09:36.764
for the holiday season, like Razor
scooters and Paw Patrol

00:09:36.764 --> 00:09:39.305
and Jurassic World characters--
a potential nudge

00:09:39.305 --> 00:09:41.253
to get Roblox users to ask for them.

00:09:41.253 --> 00:09:42.613
A potential nudge?

00:09:42.613 --> 00:09:44.022
Has the person who wrote this article

00:09:44.022 --> 00:09:45.409
ever heard of Walmart?

00:09:45.409 --> 00:09:46.709
Or like, business?

00:09:46.709 --> 00:09:49.077
They're showing really popular products

00:09:49.077 --> 00:09:51.623
to kids in a really popular kids' game.

00:09:51.623 --> 00:09:55.912
Maybe that could be to get them to
BUY the products FROM WALMART.

00:09:55.912 --> 00:09:57.601
Walmart Land has an obstacle course

00:09:57.601 --> 00:10:01.573
of oversized items from the retailer's
Gen Z-focused beauty brands,

00:10:01.573 --> 00:10:03.466
such as skin-care products from Bubble

00:10:03.466 --> 00:10:05.979
and makeup from Uoma by Sharon C.

00:10:05.979 --> 00:10:07.411
It's crazy that even in the metaverse

00:10:07.411 --> 00:10:09.150
corporations are trying to
convince you that

00:10:09.150 --> 00:10:10.503
You Are Ugly.

00:10:10.503 --> 00:10:13.074
You're a fully digital avatar and
Walmart's still like,

00:10:13.074 --> 00:10:15.081
"We can still tell you're uglyyy!

00:10:15.081 --> 00:10:17.384
Hellooo! You need to buy virtual makeup!

00:10:17.384 --> 00:10:20.326
We just talked to your smart fridge and
it told us you're uglyyy~"

00:10:20.326 --> 00:10:23.247
To be fair, of course your Roblox
character needs makeup.

00:10:23.247 --> 00:10:24.222
(screaming effect)
They're all hideous.

00:10:24.222 --> 00:10:25.762
There's no way a Roblox character's

00:10:25.762 --> 00:10:28.400
ever going to conform to
traditional beauty standards.

00:10:28.400 --> 00:10:29.973
They have, like, pitch-black doll eyes.

00:10:29.973 --> 00:10:31.118
Alright guys, I don't know about you,

00:10:31.118 --> 00:10:31.820
but I'm ready.

00:10:31.820 --> 00:10:34.639
My young shopper mind is ready
to be advertised to.

00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:35.911
Let's hop into this game.

00:10:35.911 --> 00:10:37.082
And so I hopped

00:10:37.193 --> 00:10:38.097
into this game.

00:10:38.097 --> 00:10:39.107
(claps)
(cool synth music plays)

00:10:39.107 --> 00:10:40.766
I have never played Roblox before.

00:10:40.766 --> 00:10:43.293
So unfortunately, even though Walmart is

00:10:43.293 --> 00:10:45.790
advertising this as
a metaverse experience,

00:10:45.790 --> 00:10:46.970
it's not in VR.

00:10:46.970 --> 00:10:50.962
I kind of thought that every metaverse
experience takes place in VR,

00:10:50.962 --> 00:10:53.229
but I guess metaverse just means
it's in the computer.

00:10:53.229 --> 00:10:56.572
I don't know how that's different
from like, walmart.com.

00:10:56.572 --> 00:10:58.599
That's in the computer, is that
not the metaverse?

00:10:58.599 --> 00:11:02.098
Since the game is not in VR and I
wanted to still wear a cool headset,

00:11:02.098 --> 00:11:04.232
I'm gonna be wearing these cool
gamer glasses

00:11:04.232 --> 00:11:05.598
instead of a VR headset.

00:11:05.598 --> 00:11:06.976
Anyway, I have, um

00:11:06.976 --> 00:11:09.393
actually have no idea how Roblox works.

00:11:09.393 --> 00:11:12.732
It took me a minute to figure out
how to actually get into Roblox

00:11:12.732 --> 00:11:15.209
and start playing in
Walmart's world of play.

00:11:15.209 --> 00:11:16.591
I guess there's all these worlds here.

00:11:16.591 --> 00:11:18.166
I wonder if Walmart Land
is in here somewhere.

00:11:18.166 --> 00:11:19.121
Survival.

00:11:19.121 --> 00:11:20.226
Probably not gonna be in there.

00:11:20.226 --> 00:11:21.766
"Yeah, Walmart Universe of Play,

00:11:21.766 --> 00:11:23.235
the new SURVIVAL game.

00:11:23.235 --> 00:11:24.717
Try not to get MURDERED in our-

00:11:24.717 --> 00:11:26.042
in the new Walmart Land."

00:11:26.042 --> 00:11:28.512
Apparently Roblox isn't just one game,

00:11:28.512 --> 00:11:30.492
it's like a million different games.

00:11:30.492 --> 00:11:31.963
"Don't Call at 3 AM"

00:11:31.963 --> 00:11:33.469
and it's a picture of Dwayne
"The Rock" Johnson.

00:11:33.469 --> 00:11:34.333
"Squid Game."

00:11:34.333 --> 00:11:37.469
"Last to Leave," it's like a
Mr. Beast video within Roblox.

00:11:37.469 --> 00:11:38.546
What is Roblox?

00:11:38.546 --> 00:11:39.533
What IS...

00:11:39.663 --> 00:11:40.429
Roblox

00:11:40.429 --> 00:11:40.985
anyway?

00:11:40.985 --> 00:11:42.831
But eventually I found Walmart Land

00:11:42.831 --> 00:11:44.841
in the Recommended For You tab.

00:11:45.247 --> 00:11:46.234
They know why I'm here.

00:11:46.234 --> 00:11:47.219
New to Walmart Land?

00:11:48.126 --> 00:11:48.535
Yes.

00:11:48.535 --> 00:11:49.257
Well, welcome!

00:11:49.257 --> 00:11:51.859
It's a place where inspiration
starts with play,

00:11:51.859 --> 00:11:55.628
including mini games, challenges,
an obby, and more--

00:11:55.928 --> 00:11:56.801
An obby?

00:11:56.801 --> 00:11:57.601
Am I supposed to know what that is?

00:11:57.601 --> 00:11:58.655
Is that Roblox lingo?

00:11:58.655 --> 00:12:01.772
Or is that just a, like, a word in
the English language that I don't know?

00:12:01.772 --> 00:12:02.631
Oh, this is helpful.

00:12:02.631 --> 00:12:03.878
Is obby a word?

00:12:03.878 --> 00:12:05.516
Yeah, obby is a valid English word.

00:12:05.516 --> 00:12:06.573
Okay, what does it mean though?

00:12:06.573 --> 00:12:07.495
The hell is an obby?

00:12:07.495 --> 00:12:08.004
Oh!

00:12:08.004 --> 00:12:09.721
In Roblox, it's an obstacle course.

00:12:09.721 --> 00:12:11.338
Explore Electric Island!

00:12:11.338 --> 00:12:12.998
Play Netflix Trivia

00:12:12.998 --> 00:12:14.587
hosted by Noah Schnapp??

00:12:14.587 --> 00:12:15.312
Wait.

00:12:15.312 --> 00:12:16.681
The dude from Stranger Things?

00:12:16.681 --> 00:12:18.563
Is hosting a game in Walmart Land?

00:12:18.563 --> 00:12:20.379
Compete in the Dance Off Challenge.

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:21.555
Make beats in the DJ--

00:12:21.555 --> 00:12:22.992
okay, this place actually...

00:12:24.611 --> 00:12:25.996
this place actually might
be kinda cool.

00:12:25.996 --> 00:12:27.179
That's right, it MIGHT.

00:12:27.179 --> 00:12:29.149
Now there's some cool-sounding
stuff in here,

00:12:29.149 --> 00:12:32.053
like a giant cosmetics obstacle course,

00:12:32.053 --> 00:12:34.281
but what I'm really interested in

00:12:34.281 --> 00:12:37.809
is Noah Schnapp hosting
trivia in Roblox.

00:12:37.809 --> 00:12:39.719
How is he just IN Walmart Land?

00:12:39.719 --> 00:12:42.207
Is he just playing Roblox all the time?

00:12:42.207 --> 00:12:45.553
Just sitting there waiting to ask people
questions about Netflix?

00:12:45.553 --> 00:12:46.861
How much are they paying him for this?

00:12:46.861 --> 00:12:48.257
There's no wrong way to play!

00:12:48.257 --> 00:12:49.875
I bet I can prove you wrong, buster.

00:12:49.875 --> 00:12:52.191
Let's see how long it takes me
to get banned from this world.

00:12:52.191 --> 00:12:54.493
Then we'll find out if there's
a wrong way to play, won't we?

00:12:54.493 --> 00:12:56.782
So this is Walmart Land.

00:12:56.782 --> 00:12:58.954
My initial impressions of the game were

00:12:58.954 --> 00:12:59.713
not great.

00:12:59.713 --> 00:13:00.501
So this is me.

00:13:00.801 --> 00:13:01.808
See, the thing I don't get,

00:13:01.808 --> 00:13:03.186
okay, this isn't even, this isn't

00:13:03.186 --> 00:13:05.558
a thing about Walmart Land specifically.

00:13:05.558 --> 00:13:07.088
But why's this game so ugly?

00:13:07.088 --> 00:13:07.681
(grunt through gritted teeth) DIH!

00:13:08.081 --> 00:13:08.545
DIH!

00:13:08.545 --> 00:13:09.937
DIH! DIH! DIH! DIH!

00:13:09.937 --> 00:13:11.537
This video's just gonna be me discovering

00:13:11.537 --> 00:13:13.441
the horrors of Roblox.

00:13:13.441 --> 00:13:15.781
It's not even gonna have anything
to do with Walmart anymore.

00:13:15.781 --> 00:13:16.794
What the fuck?

00:13:16.794 --> 00:13:18.070
Check how loud the game is.

00:13:18.070 --> 00:13:18.539
UH!

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:19.484
It's about this loud.

00:13:19.484 --> 00:13:20.186
(echoing) UH!!

00:13:20.186 --> 00:13:23.326
I knew I couldn't go seeing Noah
in this wretched default outfit,

00:13:23.326 --> 00:13:25.262
but lucky for me, Walmart Land

00:13:25.262 --> 00:13:26.410
has a virtual store.

00:13:26.410 --> 00:13:27.893
Ooh, there's a store, let's go over there.

00:13:27.893 --> 00:13:30.115
I can buy some Walmart jeans!

00:13:30.115 --> 00:13:34.063
Where you can shop for clothing from
real life clothing brands like Bonobos.

00:13:34.063 --> 00:13:35.384
Wide-leg jeans,

00:13:35.384 --> 00:13:36.969
Bone-a-bose sweatpants.

00:13:36.969 --> 00:13:37.905
Is that how you pronounce it?

00:13:37.905 --> 00:13:40.432
(dark piano music)
I looked it up afterwards and it is not.

00:13:41.015 --> 00:13:41.673
Bonobos.

00:13:41.673 --> 00:13:43.947
But that wouldn't stop me from
mispronouncing it

00:13:43.947 --> 00:13:45.780
the entire time I played this game.

00:13:45.780 --> 00:13:47.321
I guess I need coins to buy some

00:13:47.321 --> 00:13:48.760
BONABOSE sweatpants.

00:13:48.760 --> 00:13:51.709
I don't think I've ever met anyone
that's actually been wearing an article

00:13:51.709 --> 00:13:52.441
of Bona--

00:13:52.741 --> 00:13:53.113
Bone--

00:13:53.530 --> 00:13:54.161
Bonny--

00:13:55.421 --> 00:13:56.178
Bonaboe clothing.

00:13:56.178 --> 00:13:57.452
But I'm gonna go and get some.

00:13:57.452 --> 00:14:01.045
There's a couple different ways you
can collect tokens to buy Bonabose clothing

00:14:01.045 --> 00:14:02.056
in Walmart Land.

00:14:02.056 --> 00:14:04.991
First, as we know, there's a
blimp that drops toys.

00:14:04.991 --> 00:14:07.128
Okay, there's a thing at the top
that says "Next Blimp,"

00:14:07.128 --> 00:14:08.970
a minute and a half away.

00:14:08.970 --> 00:14:09.834
Oh, there it is!

00:14:13.407 --> 00:14:14.396
Take me with you.

00:14:14.396 --> 00:14:15.597
I want to go in the blimp.

00:14:15.597 --> 00:14:17.053
Except as far as I can tell,

00:14:17.053 --> 00:14:19.777
it only ever drops cold hard cash.

00:14:19.777 --> 00:14:21.196
Ookayyy.

00:14:21.196 --> 00:14:23.983
I just got 82 surprise coins.

00:14:23.983 --> 00:14:25.799
Okay, sick, so it dropped some coins.

00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.510
Didn't drop any walmart.com T-shirts
or anything,

00:14:28.510 --> 00:14:30.020
so a little underwhelming, but.

00:14:30.020 --> 00:14:30.940
These coins will make do.

00:14:30.940 --> 00:14:33.778
I did get distracted from my mission
to buy some sweatpants

00:14:33.778 --> 00:14:36.618
when I realized there was
a fight going on in the chat.

00:14:36.618 --> 00:14:39.141
Looks like there's a bit of a dispute
happening in the chat.

00:14:39.141 --> 00:14:41.419
It's the same person who
commented over and over.

00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:41.972
No.

00:14:41.972 --> 00:14:43.110
This is my monorail.

00:14:43.110 --> 00:14:43.582
Off.

00:14:43.582 --> 00:14:44.704
Wait for the next one.

00:14:44.704 --> 00:14:46.043
WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!

00:14:46.043 --> 00:14:46.661
OFF!

00:14:46.661 --> 00:14:47.367
Holy shit.

00:14:47.367 --> 00:14:48.650
There's a monorail in this game?

00:14:48.650 --> 00:14:50.783
How do I hop on this thing
to piss this guy off?

00:14:50.783 --> 00:14:53.333
I was told there's no wrong way to
play, so I'm assuming that

00:14:53.333 --> 00:14:56.256
hopping on this guy's monorail
just to piss him off is cool?

00:14:56.256 --> 00:14:56.700
I said,

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:58.633
"I'm waiting to get on your monorail.
I'm so excited."

00:14:58.633 --> 00:14:59.002
and he said,

00:14:59.002 --> 00:15:00.366
"No. Wait for the next one."

00:15:00.366 --> 00:15:04.055
(badass rebellious rock music)

00:15:04.055 --> 00:15:04.796
Let's go.

00:15:04.796 --> 00:15:06.433
But I guess he was pretty
serious about it,

00:15:06.433 --> 00:15:08.827
because by the time the monorail
came around, he was gone

00:15:08.827 --> 00:15:10.266
and I never heard from him again.

00:15:10.266 --> 00:15:13.794
Wow, what a beautiful view
I have of Walmart Land.

00:15:13.794 --> 00:15:16.553
Trying to sort of get a good
vantage point to get a good look

00:15:16.553 --> 00:15:18.698
from the monorail at Walmart Land.

00:15:18.698 --> 00:15:22.567
Can I sort of zoom out and just get a
really good bird's eye view--

00:15:22.567 --> 00:15:23.325
Nope, okay.

00:15:23.325 --> 00:15:24.235
Now I'm looking at my own

00:15:24.235 --> 00:15:24.861
taint.

00:15:24.861 --> 00:15:26.921
Sort of wanted to look
at Walmart Land instead.

00:15:26.921 --> 00:15:28.343
Wait, how do I have 200 coins now?

00:15:28.343 --> 00:15:29.164
What happened here?

00:15:29.164 --> 00:15:30.118
How did I get that many coins?

00:15:30.118 --> 00:15:31.113
I still don't know.

00:15:31.113 --> 00:15:33.639
Watching the video back, I'm just
standing on the monorail

00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:35.859
and I gain 100 coins for no reason.

00:15:35.859 --> 00:15:37.117
I don't know but it's time to go buy

00:15:37.117 --> 00:15:38.327
some frickin' PANTS!

00:15:38.327 --> 00:15:41.924
Pants, pants, pants, pants,
pants, pants, pants!

00:15:41.924 --> 00:15:43.906
Guys, I gotta level with you,
I didn't buy the pants.

00:15:43.906 --> 00:15:45.867
In fact, I didn't buy
any Bonobos clothing.

00:15:45.867 --> 00:15:47.571
I LOOKED at the Bonobos clothing.

00:15:47.571 --> 00:15:49.169
Oh, I can buy shirts too?

00:15:49.169 --> 00:15:50.768
Well, hold on, this changes everything!

00:15:50.768 --> 00:15:53.263
They've got Bonabose Ssshweater Blue.

00:15:53.263 --> 00:15:56.995
That's that sad feeling you get
when you put on your Bonabose sweater.

00:15:56.995 --> 00:15:59.243
(sad piano music) Got the 
Bonabose sweater blues, man.

00:15:59.243 --> 00:16:00.641
But then I found something that I thought

00:16:00.641 --> 00:16:02.863
was a little more likely to impress Noah.

00:16:02.863 --> 00:16:04.562
Oh, and they have
Stranger Things stuff, too.

00:16:04.562 --> 00:16:06.172
Dude, I could dress up as Eleven--

00:16:06.172 --> 00:16:07.303
Oh wait, let me try it on.

00:16:14.363 --> 00:16:15.489
And here I am.

00:16:15.489 --> 00:16:16.677
And why am I not wearing it?

00:16:16.677 --> 00:16:17.295
Excuse me.

00:16:17.295 --> 00:16:18.203
EXCUSE ME.

00:16:18.203 --> 00:16:20.102
Maybe this is just Roblox as a whole,

00:16:20.102 --> 00:16:22.751
but Walmart Land was
generally very glitchy.

00:16:22.751 --> 00:16:24.205
How do I put on this freaking dress?!

00:16:24.205 --> 00:16:25.810
I have a feeling it's in this bag,

00:16:25.810 --> 00:16:28.416
but I-- there's sort of like a list
of players in the way that I can't--

00:16:28.416 --> 00:16:29.537
so I can't click on the bag.

00:16:29.537 --> 00:16:31.108
(growling) Let me click on
the goddamn BAG.

00:16:31.108 --> 00:16:32.749
When I bought this Eleven costume,

00:16:32.749 --> 00:16:35.458
and I went into my inventory,
it said it was already equipped,

00:16:35.458 --> 00:16:36.886
but it wasn't, and I had to like,

00:16:36.886 --> 00:16:38.308
unequip it and then reequip it

00:16:38.308 --> 00:16:40.078
and then just like, wait a couple seconds

00:16:40.078 --> 00:16:41.366
for it to show up on my body.

00:16:41.366 --> 00:16:42.201
LET'S

00:16:42.201 --> 00:16:44.293
GO!!!
(cheerful electronic music playing)

00:16:44.293 --> 00:16:44.777
DUDE!

00:16:44.777 --> 00:16:46.834
I just turned into Millie Bobby Brown

00:16:46.834 --> 00:16:48.605
from a Millie Bobby Clown.

00:16:48.605 --> 00:16:49.822
Can you dance in this game?

00:16:49.822 --> 00:16:51.157
Maybe someone in the chat
can help me.

00:16:53.385 --> 00:16:56.269
It's time to see how kind the
people of Roblox are, I guess.

00:16:56.269 --> 00:16:56.659
Oh!

00:16:56.659 --> 00:17:00.008
You can dance in Roblox, but there's
certain games that you can't dance in.

00:17:00.008 --> 00:17:02.171
Well surely you can dance in
Walmart Land,

00:17:02.171 --> 00:17:04.523
it's the best place in the goddamn world.

00:17:04.523 --> 00:17:05.754
(ominous THUD sound)

00:17:06.765 --> 00:17:07.295
They said,

00:17:07.295 --> 00:17:08.519
"I tried and it didn't work."

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:09.375
Excusez-moi.

00:17:09.375 --> 00:17:12.375
There's supposed to be, like, a dance
rave here, isn't there?

00:17:12.375 --> 00:17:13.362
And you're not allowed to dance?

00:17:13.362 --> 00:17:15.345
There's a music concert,
a music festival,

00:17:15.345 --> 00:17:16.930
and you're just meant to
stand there like this?

00:17:16.930 --> 00:17:18.851
(cheerful electronic music playing)

00:17:18.851 --> 00:17:20.787
Woah. ColdAtlantic sent me
a friend request.

00:17:20.787 --> 00:17:22.471
Sure, dog. I'll be anyone's friend.

00:17:22.471 --> 00:17:24.656
As long as they can teach me
how to freakin' play this game.

00:17:24.656 --> 00:17:27.043
So it looks like there's some
areas of Walmart Land

00:17:27.043 --> 00:17:28.400
they have not fleshed out yet.

00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.557
There's a bunch of bubbles
that just say "Coming soon."

00:17:30.557 --> 00:17:33.448
So they're keeping some hype alive
for Walmart Land.

00:17:33.448 --> 00:17:35.482
As if there wasn't enough already, y'know?

00:17:35.482 --> 00:17:37.441
While searching for Noah, I came across

00:17:37.441 --> 00:17:39.044
the cosmetics obby.

00:17:39.044 --> 00:17:41.806
The goal is simple, just try to
get to the end of the obby.

00:17:41.806 --> 00:17:42.456
Alright.

00:17:42.456 --> 00:17:44.436
I thought I'd give it a go in
an effort to, I don't know,

00:17:44.436 --> 00:17:45.570
earn some extra tokens.

00:17:46.955 --> 00:17:47.956
Uh! Uh, uh-

00:17:47.956 --> 00:17:48.915
oh God!

00:17:48.915 --> 00:17:49.914
But little did I know

00:17:49.914 --> 00:17:51.446
this obstacle course

00:17:51.757 --> 00:17:52.710
would ruin me.

00:17:52.710 --> 00:17:54.456
(rock music playing)

00:17:54.456 --> 00:17:55.272
Fuck! Shit!

00:17:55.272 --> 00:17:56.594
I hate Walmart Land now.

00:17:56.594 --> 00:17:58.378
I don't wanna buy any of
these products at all!

00:17:58.378 --> 00:17:58.960
What is this?!

00:17:58.960 --> 00:17:59.639
OW!

00:17:59.639 --> 00:18:00.723
Am I just bad at this?

00:18:00.723 --> 00:18:01.307
EH!

00:18:01.307 --> 00:18:02.418
Fucking. Shit.

00:18:02.418 --> 00:18:03.528
I swear to God,

00:18:03.528 --> 00:18:05.310
this is harder than it looks, gang.

00:18:05.310 --> 00:18:07.350
Only an adult could beat this, for sure.

00:18:07.350 --> 00:18:08.711
And even then, y'know, I mean,

00:18:08.711 --> 00:18:10.559
I'm a-- I'm a grown-up, and I'm

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:12.246
definitely being given a run for my

00:18:12.246 --> 00:18:14.200
mo-- FUUUCK!!!

00:18:15.410 --> 00:18:17.492
Some advertising this is, WALMART.

00:18:17.492 --> 00:18:18.478
You see what you've done?

00:18:18.478 --> 00:18:20.622
You've turned a lifelong loyal customer

00:18:20.622 --> 00:18:22.638
into a pissed off Lego guy!

00:18:22.818 --> 00:18:25.895
Egh, this is getting... getting
kinda hard to watch.

00:18:25.895 --> 00:18:27.506
Honestly I would much
rather be watching

00:18:27.506 --> 00:18:29.873
an ad for ExpressVPN right now!

00:18:29.873 --> 00:18:32.412
While I'm getting absolutely
dominated by this beauty obby,

00:18:32.412 --> 00:18:34.161
let me tell you how YOU can avoid getting

00:18:34.161 --> 00:18:36.560
dominated by your
internet service provider

00:18:36.560 --> 00:18:38.137
by using ExpressVPN.

00:18:39.601 --> 00:18:40.058
UGH!!!

00:18:40.058 --> 00:18:43.012
You see, in the US, it's legal
for your internet service provider

00:18:43.012 --> 00:18:45.163
to sell your data to other companies.

00:18:45.163 --> 00:18:47.404
They can keep track of every
website you've ever visited,

00:18:47.404 --> 00:18:50.062
every product you've looked at
buying in the past month,

00:18:50.062 --> 00:18:51.818
and sell it to advertisers.

00:18:51.818 --> 00:18:53.600
If they wanted to, they could
sell it to Walmart.

00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:54.413
Oh my GOD.

00:18:54.413 --> 00:18:55.887
I'm never going to Walmart again.

00:18:55.887 --> 00:18:57.488
But ExpressVPN puts a stop to this

00:18:57.488 --> 00:18:59.758
by rerouting 100% of your network traffic

00:18:59.758 --> 00:19:01.594
through their secure, encrypted server.

00:19:01.594 --> 00:19:03.754
ExpressVPN also helps you unblock content

00:19:03.754 --> 00:19:05.267
that's not available in your area.

00:19:05.267 --> 00:19:06.661
For example, Laura and I

00:19:06.661 --> 00:19:08.932
are absolutely rabid fans

00:19:09.157 --> 00:19:10.109
of Survivor.

00:19:10.109 --> 00:19:13.060
But a few weeks ago, Laura and I
were on vacation in Europe,

00:19:13.060 --> 00:19:15.518
where they did not have Survivor on Hulu.

00:19:15.518 --> 00:19:18.045
But by turning on ExpressVPN, (which is
very easy to do,

00:19:18.045 --> 00:19:19.257
you just do it in one click)

00:19:19.257 --> 00:19:21.252
and changing my server location to the US,

00:19:21.252 --> 00:19:23.239
we're able to watch Survivor in our hotel.

00:19:23.239 --> 00:19:24.569
And even when you're not traveling,

00:19:24.569 --> 00:19:26.663
there's tons of shows
you can unlock on Netflix

00:19:26.663 --> 00:19:28.209
simply by switching your location.

00:19:28.209 --> 00:19:29.291
I think I'll just chill
here for a little bit.

00:19:29.291 --> 00:19:31.247
He looks comfortable here and I
don't wanna risk falling,

00:19:31.247 --> 00:19:32.090
it seems like a,

00:19:32.090 --> 00:19:33.211
kind of a cool place to hang out.

00:19:33.211 --> 00:19:35.036
ExpressVPN has the fastest speeds,

00:19:35.036 --> 00:19:37.238
they're consistently ranked
the number one VPN

00:19:37.238 --> 00:19:40.602

Thank you to ExpressVPN for

00:19:53.597 --> 00:19:55.674
and thank you to you guys
for checking out ExpressVPN,

00:19:55.674 --> 00:19:58.047
and now please God,
can I finish this obby?

00:19:58.047 --> 00:19:59.372
Where's the end? Is that the end?

00:19:59.372 --> 00:20:01.374
(grand, momentous string music)

00:20:01.374 --> 00:20:02.558
Wheeee!

00:20:02.692 --> 00:20:03.332
LET'S

00:20:03.332 --> 00:20:04.461
GO!!!!

00:20:04.461 --> 00:20:05.190
LET'S GO!

00:20:05.190 --> 00:20:06.746
We're back, baby! We did it.

00:20:06.746 --> 00:20:09.396
250 coins, by the way.

00:20:09.396 --> 00:20:10.964
So I'm basically rich now.

00:20:10.964 --> 00:20:11.923
Oh my god.

00:20:11.923 --> 00:20:14.238
(laughing) That look so
much longer than it should have, holy cow.

00:20:14.238 --> 00:20:16.992
They say the night is darkest
just before the dawn,

00:20:16.992 --> 00:20:18.531
and I have to say in this case,

00:20:18.531 --> 00:20:19.451
that was correct,

00:20:19.451 --> 00:20:21.468
because right after this obstacle course,

00:20:21.468 --> 00:20:23.282
I found Electric Island--

00:20:23.282 --> 00:20:25.251
Electric Island looks kinda
fun, let's go there.

00:20:25.251 --> 00:20:27.639
--and by extension, Noah Schnapp.

00:20:27.639 --> 00:20:30.268
Okay, what is there
to do on Electric Island?

00:20:30.268 --> 00:20:32.708
Play Netflix Trivia hosted
by Noah Schnapp.

00:20:32.708 --> 00:20:35.581
I have a feeling it's just, like,
a bot that says he's Noah Schnapp.

00:20:35.581 --> 00:20:37.107
But it'd be crazy if it was actually him.

00:20:37.107 --> 00:20:38.707
It'd be crazy if it wasn't even, like,

00:20:38.707 --> 00:20:39.839
a Roblox character,

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:41.173
it was just, like, him in the game.

00:20:41.173 --> 00:20:43.427
I looked around for a little bit
trying to find this guy,

00:20:43.427 --> 00:20:44.767
and I gotta say,

00:20:44.767 --> 00:20:47.828
the name "Electric Island" makes
this place sound a lot more fun

00:20:47.828 --> 00:20:48.805
than it actually is.

00:20:48.805 --> 00:20:51.784
Alright, I'm already seeing something
that looks pretty fun in Electric Island.

00:20:51.784 --> 00:20:52.837
A pool party.

00:20:52.837 --> 00:20:56.077
Let's go, dude. Let's go, let's turn up!

00:20:56.077 --> 00:20:57.669
Okay, there is no one here.

00:20:57.669 --> 00:21:00.245
You know, for the fun
and totally happening place

00:21:00.245 --> 00:21:02.743
that they made it
seem like Electric Island

00:21:02.743 --> 00:21:05.011
and more broadly Walmart Land would be,

00:21:05.011 --> 00:21:06.675
it doesn't seem like there's
that many people here.

00:21:06.675 --> 00:21:07.873
Feels kinda... lonely.

00:21:07.873 --> 00:21:09.230
Does it show how many people are in here?

00:21:09.230 --> 00:21:11.886
18, 19, 20, 21, 22.

00:21:11.886 --> 00:21:14.711
There's 22 people here in Walmart Land.

00:21:14.711 --> 00:21:18.872
So this looks like the gigantic stage
where huge concerts take place

00:21:18.872 --> 00:21:20.815
and everyone stands still and watches.

00:21:20.815 --> 00:21:22.923
This place is electric during live events!

00:21:22.923 --> 00:21:23.589
I doubt it.

00:21:23.589 --> 00:21:24.454
I highly doubt it.

00:21:24.454 --> 00:21:27.799
Electric Island is a strange
and mysterious place.

00:21:30.144 --> 00:21:31.962
Maybe I-- Woah! What's going on?

00:21:31.962 --> 00:21:34.655
And they did a damn good job
of hiding Noah Schnapp.

00:21:34.655 --> 00:21:36.028
Alright, where's Noah Schnapp at?

00:21:36.028 --> 00:21:37.600
Let me talk to Noah Schnapp, dude.

00:21:37.600 --> 00:21:38.560
Where's Noah Schnapp?

00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:39.793
Noahhhh?

00:21:39.793 --> 00:21:42.401
I want to play some
Netflix Trivia with youuu.

00:21:42.401 --> 00:21:43.989
But eventually, I made it

00:21:44.499 --> 00:21:45.595
to the trivia floor.

00:21:45.595 --> 00:21:46.574
There we go!

00:21:46.574 --> 00:21:49.139
I found an elevator.
Netflix Trivia, please.

00:21:52.561 --> 00:21:55.018
I feel closer to Noah than ever before.

00:21:55.018 --> 00:21:57.856
(Netflix's reverbing "duh-dun" sound)

00:21:57.856 --> 00:21:59.093
(Noah) Hey, what's up everyone,

00:21:59.093 --> 00:22:00.442
I'm Noah Schnapp, and you might know me

00:22:00.442 --> 00:22:02.310
as Will Byers from Stranger Things.

00:22:02.310 --> 00:22:03.441
(Danny) It's actually him!
(Noah) Anyway, today

00:22:03.441 --> 00:22:06.379
we're gonna have some fun playing
Netflix Trivia here in Walmart Land.

00:22:06.379 --> 00:22:08.349
There are 3 categories you choose from,

00:22:08.349 --> 00:22:10.953
one about Stranger Things,
another about Outer Banks,

00:22:10.953 --> 00:22:12.373
and a third called "Surprise Me."

00:22:12.373 --> 00:22:15.490
(Danny) You know, something tells me
he wasn't actually IN Walmart Land.

00:22:15.490 --> 00:22:19.206
There weren't too many blank white walls
that I saw in Walmart Land.

00:22:19.206 --> 00:22:21.726
He said, like, "I hope we're all
having fun in Walmart Land"

00:22:21.726 --> 00:22:22.815
like he was also there.

00:22:22.815 --> 00:22:24.444
He didn't even look
like a Roblox character.

00:22:24.444 --> 00:22:26.057
Now the only thing left to do

00:22:26.244 --> 00:22:29.526
was play some Stranger Things
trivia with my boy Noah.

00:22:29.526 --> 00:22:31.794
What sport does Lucas
play at Hawkins High?

00:22:31.794 --> 00:22:32.903
Football...?

00:22:32.903 --> 00:22:33.508
Fuck!

00:22:33.508 --> 00:22:35.722
Oh no, I forgot I don't
watch Stranger Things!

00:22:35.722 --> 00:22:37.929
I didn't know the answers to
any of these questions!

00:22:37.929 --> 00:22:40.477
Which of the following is
a real quote from Argyle?

00:22:40.477 --> 00:22:41.335
Who is Argyle?

00:22:41.485 --> 00:22:42.521
5 coins

00:22:42.521 --> 00:22:45.376
for like 30 minutes of work
trying to find Will--

00:22:45.376 --> 00:22:46.326
oh, sorry, not Will.

00:22:46.326 --> 00:22:48.112
Noah is his real name in real life.

00:22:48.112 --> 00:22:49.873
And I get 5 measly coins.

00:22:49.873 --> 00:22:52.417
I kinda felt like all
the kiddos in Season 1

00:22:52.417 --> 00:22:53.414
trying to find this dude.

00:22:53.414 --> 00:22:55.106
And I finally do and I get 5 coins.

00:22:55.106 --> 00:22:57.736
I-- At this point I've gotta pretty
much be the richest person

00:22:57.736 --> 00:22:58.996
in Walmart Land, so.

00:22:58.996 --> 00:23:00.180
(electronic-sounding piano keys play)

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:01.712
I think I'm just gonna head to the store

00:23:01.712 --> 00:23:03.314
and spend all of my money

00:23:03.314 --> 00:23:04.078
and then be done.

00:23:04.078 --> 00:23:06.898
So I got some Bonabose Sweater Blues

00:23:06.898 --> 00:23:08.706
and some Bonabose Sweatpants.

00:23:08.706 --> 00:23:11.151
And let's just see how I look.

00:23:11.459 --> 00:23:13.010
And they didn't appear on my character--

00:23:13.010 --> 00:23:14.246
That's not the sweater I just bought.

00:23:14.246 --> 00:23:15.112
Is this game broken?

00:23:15.112 --> 00:23:15.740
Oh, there we go.

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:16.697
But now what happened to my pants?

00:23:16.697 --> 00:23:18.471
The sweater's on, but 
my blue pants are not.

00:23:18.471 --> 00:23:19.544
--And then I quit the game.

00:23:19.544 --> 00:23:21.140
Well guys, I think I've
played enough Roblox

00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:22.784
for today and the rest of my life.

00:23:22.784 --> 00:23:24.151
I hope you enjoyed this in-depth look

00:23:24.151 --> 00:23:26.418
at Walmart's first steps
into the metaverse.

00:23:26.418 --> 00:23:27.482
I'll see you guys next time,

00:23:27.482 --> 00:23:28.312
uh-buh-bye.
