An RT Podcast Reunion - Always Open

[@procastination_is_my_passi4182]

Omg I love this group's dynamic! Y'all should start a podcast together or something

[@MrBigNicholas]

They can't do that! That would be what the fans want, and that's not something they seem to do anymore

[@procastination_is_my_passi4182]

@@MrBigNicholas It was just an ironic joke considering they've been part of the og rt podcast squad for decades

[@MrBigNicholas]

@procastination_is_my_passi4182 I'm aware, just making a sassy quip at the fact that burnies whole thing was "if the fans want it, we'll make it" until he left and that whole ideal fell apart

[@rllysilli]

@@MrBigNicholas it's better for them to make content they want to make/feel fulfilled making tbh. i believe burnie also made the point once when referencing items in the shop where everyone can say they want something, but once it's out that doesn't mean even half of those same people will engage with it. just be happy we get any content at all :)

[@Lylisuvanto]

@@MrBigNicholascheck out "Anma" and f**ck face, thats about as crowd pleasing as it gets. It's good, instead of being a negative nancy! Or don't, I just wanted to give you the tip, have a good day!

[@LetsSyncFanEdits]

So nice of Gavin to wear a shirt with Gus on it so even though they're not on the RT Podcast anymore, this episode of Always Open features: Gus, Gavin, Barbara & Gus!

[@tomgosy]

Just seeing this cast made me so happy. They have this incredibly well established dynamic, and the conversations flow so naturally

[@ahmedmousawi]

It’s like they have a long history together or something

[@danteXcrossing]

Explains why I haven't watched the rt podcast in a long ass time

[@KiiraWhale]

With tears I write this. This was my favorite show back in the day. It always brought a smile to my face and made me feel less alone during my high school years. Thank you Barb for being such a light and inspiration for our lives. I am so saddened to have missed so many of these episodes. You all will hold such a special place in my heart.

[@LiaraBerlin]

Gus is always a win in everything he does and his advice here for the submitted questions is incredibly insightful and helpful without any empty platitudes. Makes me wish he was on Always Open more often so that we could get his perspective on different social situations.

[@amogoftea]

Gav's lil "What do you mean???" at Barb talking about leaving Austin 😭😭 I LOVE THEM

[@Kiyannepeppers]

It's bittersweet to hear that you 3 don't see each other nearly as much as you used too in the 2010's. Time keeps going and things keep changing and I hate it 😂 but it's beautiful to see you pick up right where you left off like its been days, not months since seeing eachother. Im happy to see 3 og's are still doing good.

[@M4SH3R85]

I feel so bad to watch this ep after the incident. :( But I will follow you guys anywhere x

[@Careb-Ree]

Me watching old RT podcasts reminiscing about the old days, this podcast drops.... instant click. Thank you for making this special episode!

[@_Voodoo_]

I miss this group. PLEASE start another podcast with you three, we all want it.

[@KirstenLovesCadbury]

i forgot how much i missed these guys together but man am i grateful for the three separate podcasts they all ended up branching out to

[@kalen1702]

27:39 Gavin saying "Doofus" like that made me spit out my coffee, idk why that was so funny to me

[@RolandSchlosser]

I loved this!! I never thought I missed this 3 people so much!

[@Kritigri]

Gavin was really good in this. In my personal opinion it felt like he held back a bit in his previous episode, but he gave some really nice insights on this one. Gus too! It's really fun hearing from them in another context to what we usually get.

[@SilverSting6]

He was holding back poo

[@wolveix]

I've really missed this, please do more together!

[@wmxx2000]

For the second question, I find myself looking at friends and other people who are dating, married, have kids (not that that is a goal of mine) or own a home together. While here I am, 33, been single for a long time. But looking at it in a different way, I have a bed to sleep in, I have clothes to wear, I have a roof over my head, I have food in my refrigerator, I have a car to get around if I want to and I have a job that pays all my bills. Life is about perspective.

[@alysondesylva]

I haven’t watched RT in years but I missed these 3 so much🥹

[@kalen1702]

Guest "stars" aside, I'm so happy that Always Open is a regular thing again (I think). I'm a 26 year old guy and have watched every episode, and it's just such a real podcast with no gimmicks. I really enjoy hearing Barbara talk about anything all the way back nearly 8 years ago, and she really knows how to run a show. It's just perfect content.

[@skyzsolstice]

2040 podcast with Burnie, get the gang back together

[@ChaoticRud]

I'm a little late to comment on this video but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate seeing these three do another podcast together. I know times change and I want these three to be happy as they pursue new projects but I'll always be a viewer whenever they can get together and bring back the old RT pod spirit.

[@Pelthail]

What a treat. I loved this episode.

[@naytenC]

This episode was great. Miss having these three together on a podcast ❤

[@NikGonzalez-e9f]

God these shows were so amazing. I cannot stress how much just listening to y'all talk meant to me. Thank you for everything you did, do, and will do in the future. Always Open will always be in my heart.

[@Bigwave3K]

I’ve been listening to the rt pod from the beginnings over the last couple months. Just started it over but seeing Gus grow and change even then is crazy but the stuff Im on now is from 2014 and seeing how he is in this honestly makes me really happy. Dudes wise Edit: Gavin just said something dumb something and old Gus came back in a flash lmao

[@codmanout9861]

I use MAC address white listing on my router, but I also keep a log of all the devices, so if I ever had to change my router, I can just setup from that list

[@rockstar6790]

Can I say how much I missed this dynamic since the RT Podcast

[@AHSeanR]

So happy you all made this episode! glad to see the rooster teeth podcast team again

[@Reb0rnKnight]

Gus kept making me laugh to the point where I was falling out of my chair. I miss this group, and I love them all.

[@The-Endless-Dream]

Gus you’ll make it to 85. I believe!

[@Adz2]

He'll be 50% Cyborg no doubt, but he'll still be here....

[@toogroovyjoe]

listening to you guys on winter break, just mining away. i feel 12 again.

[@andreacooper2797]

Love yall , be a fan of roosterteeth since 2012!!! Very full circle podcast

[@aju_dee]

I haven't even started and I love this already. I don't think I've ever enjoyed any other podcasters dynamic than these 3 together (+ Burnie)

[@marcusc6588]

Stumbled on this episode after rewatching a bit of the og rt pod and as someone who just moved back in with my parents as a 22(M) damn was that some good advice

[@benbutz4900]

man these three should start their own podcast! maybe with a fourth rotating guest? i’d listen for sure!

[@jameshoppo7202]

Enjoyed listening to this. Few topics that hit home for me. Nice to listen to people I'm so familiar with and feel like I'm listening to friends

[@NathanAhater]

I wish Gus would say “and Gus” one more time 😢

[@Reb0rnKnight]

Just wait for the RT Podcast episode in 2040

[@HalfDryad]

Very curious about the idea of an audio drama that's like 'Frasier on acid'. Love a good audio drama and this seems like a departure from typical ones I listen to and I'm suuuuuper interested

[@rllysilli]

aww, what a cute episode! barbara is such a great host, its really great seeing her get to explore creatively with this and other projects. couldn't be more thankful for all the hard work and talent put into this content and so many others. this was just a lot of fun to listen to/watch(:

[@SnipeGhost]

very nice to see this

[@SircoleYT]

Invasion season 1 was GREAT! You're crazy gus! There was one particular actor that was definitely not at the same caliber as some of the others but it was such a human and realistic response to THAT.

[@SircoleYT]

Plus those were some damn good child actors, considering their age and the performances they delivered.

[@SUYA.]

started listening to ANMA a few days ago because ive been rewatching old RT podcasts, imagine the surprise seeing this vid getting recommended on my suggested tab

[@KrausHaus0]

Was just at a Fallout New Vegas event near Vegas and they had a Mathew Perry memorial. He voiced Benny in the game. RIP

[@sebastianmundell1655]

I miss the old rt podcast. I miss when Burnie was on with you guys, too. Thank you for this. Cheers to the future!

[@christopherrainville6263]

I love the three of you together. This made my heart happy. Plz do an episode that's 12 business days long. ❤

[@ChrisMorray]

Despite all things RT that I dislike nowadays, this trio will always be a joy to listen to. Gus is still a pragmatic grump, Barb is still a giant nerd, and Gavin still baffles me with some of the things he says, but I kinda get what he's saying.

[@Dwhitelambert]

Miss this group so much😭

[@CrispOffTheBlock]

I'm so fucking happy this podcast is back. 3 of my favorite people in the world

[@AcidicOrpheus73]

This was great, time flew by

[@tomgosy]

22:32 Ubiquiti has a system backup on their routers. Very useful for that exact problem, especially for static ip and vlan configured networks

[@collectiveheartbeats4264]

Holy snap. I just saw this title and I am so dang happy. ❤🎉

[@YourUncleDuncan]

I am here for this trio

[@jaketaf98]

Fantastic episode. These three need more screen time together!

[@idgafiminfinite]

I'm honestly jealous of people who still live with their parents. I'm also 26 and living on my own but I find myself wanting to move back in with my parents all the time. I moved out at 22 shortly after graduating from university, and I do think it was what I needed at the time because I felt like a burden and was terrified at the thought of being dependant on my parents forever (I was not a burden and my parents are happy to support me however I need), but it is such a struggle sometimes. I don't even want to think about how much money I could have saved or how much less I would have to work so I could do more of what I enjoy. There are a lot of benefits to my current living situation but what I wouldn't give to come home to dinner being made for me once in a while...

[@procastination_is_my_passi4182]

The concept of independence being equated to living alone/away from your childhood home is so American. As a filipino, it's very normal to stay with our family up until our 30s or even for life (my childhood home consisted of my great grandpa, my grandma, my parents and my sis and I), I know the same principle applies to Italians, Serbians, Russians ...etc, where there's an innate need/want to stick close to family even after moving out. It's only in America that I have heard this push to leave at 18 for no other reason aside from "independence". But you can be independent living in your childhood home. Observing my friends struggle through their 20s because they want to be "independent" or their parents kicked them out is so sad because living in a rundown apartment in which you have to pay 3/4 of your minimum wage paycheck every month, and eating stale pizza three weeks in a row doesn't sound like independence at all, they don't know they're victims of a capitalistic society.

[@Groza_Dallocort]

​@@procastination_is_my_passi4182most of western and northen Europe you also find a place on your own in your early to mid twenties. I was 23 when I bought my house

[@matthewdaub]

It's crazy how giving the audience what they want actually makes them happy

[@Ziorac]

Gavin saying it'd be interesting if age wasn't tracked, blew my mind. Like, nowadays, how old you are is so important. People ask you how old you are, all your IDs say it, it's on resumes, it's so everywhere. But if you didn't know someone's age and it wasn't even a thing people cared about much, you'd just judge by what they've done or are doing or planning to do. Interesting.

[@EvidentlyEezy]

I know it hurts seeing him so old yet, Gavin looks great with his Gray hair

[@blackbeltbap]

Hey finally a new episode of the RT Podcast. I haven't watched an RT video in months since they stopped posting a bunch of content to KZbin. I watched a couple episode of the "RT Podcast" but since its not on KZbin it might as well be dead to me. I like Andrew, and some of the other cast because they are my generation, so there is a bit of nostalgic discussion at times, but the format isn't the RT Podcast.

[@paytondh99]

Every episode of the “official” RT Podcast is uploaded on the Roosterteeth YT channel weekly as always. The cast is completely different now sadly.

[@RondyWooten]

​@@paytondh99Unfortunately the full episodes are no longer uploaded to KZbin, only the separate various segments individually. I love the new cast, but it really is too inconvenient for me to visit the RT website.

[@ThePoisonera]

@@RondyWooten Happily, it is uploaded to KZbin in full, it just has its own channel now :) youtube.com/@roosterteethpodcast

[@RondyWooten]

@@ThePoisonera That's great news. Thanks for letting me know!

[@MasonOfLife]

Idk if Gus will read this lmao, but my great grandfather lived to 103 and was very sharp and healthy up until the end (he spent a lot of time in nature and relatively active) Where as my grandmother was 88 and had dementia and passed Her last couple of years weren’t great, but the point is that it depends on the individual, not the age m, that determines how you’ll be at 85

[@SageOfAtlas]

Your boy Colton Dunn did a podcast called Voyage to the Stars using the same principle as Gus' new podcast. It's legit great!

[@ruslanzininfanchannel]

Love these three ❤

[@Demonfox343]

Is always open always about these mature/heavy topics? Cause god damn have I been missing out

[@Simattics]

I had no idea this show was on a different channel

[@Markbreed]

can we please make this a monthly thing with Gav and Gus!!

[@KikoTheFool]

Barb gus and Gav............all we need now is pancakes 🥞

[@NateGod4Eva]

I think living at home can be fine but I disagree with the fact of just not having a plan and “enjoying your time.” If someone is past 20 and living at home the person should have some kind of goal for the future like Gus mentioned. It could be little steps but have some kind of goal for the future and your future success. I am 36 now but had to live on my own since 17 due to circumstances but even to the age of 20 it was not sustainable for me so I ended up joining the military and since then I have never had any issues with affording housing. Obviously it’s not for everyone and I am not trying to build it up for everyone. It has its own challenges but they do start you off living in dormitories to force you to interact with others and ensure you have the financial knowledge to live either with roommates, a significant other, or on your own. Just my two cents!

[@pandemmonium]

we love OG crew ❤

[@eziowayne]

Will we still get that RT podcast on June 1st, 2040?

[@r.t.643]

Star Trek TNG gave an explanation for why there are so many humanoids. Really ancient ancestors.

[@DaGoon_]

Wow ive been out of the loop for a while. I didnt even know that the RT pod didnt have Barb and Gav as staples anymore. Ill always treasure the years i spent listening to these three and Burnie.

[@aiwash2766]

Something that will never sit right with me is how we dint find out that Barbara and Gavin where both leaving the RT podcast at the same time as Gus until the very beginning of the last podcast, it dint feel like a celebration which does a huge disservice to them as they are also such huge parts of that podcast, really wish they would’ve gotten a proper sendoff

[@Orc-icide]

Is this the official rooster teeth channel?

[@ButterfieldEric]

31:36 this question is not good.

[@lucyportia4811]

Looking forward to the 2040 podcast 😊

I'M SO HAPPY !!!!!

Lmfao I knew Gus couldn't go too long without having his personal talk show. 😂 Anyways glad to see this channel prospering. I cant get into Dogbark no matter how much I try

[@Jarr0n]

Gavin talking about Matthew perry in reference to his age hit in a weird way. Saying imagine being the age he is now and having started friends 10 years earlier, even though he helped start a channel 10 years ago that some hold as dear as he does with friends.
