“People always have a kid in them and you just have to find a common ground," Meadows told Time. "I feel like rock-paper-scissors-shoot is such an easy common ground that everyone can relate to. Everyone kind of just needs to have a good time.”
Another Twitter user replied to Kolbe's video with another video of Bantaya playing rock-paper-scissors with someone else.
