Always Open: Ep. 30 - Burnie Wasn't Invited | Rooster Teeth

[@freedfg6694]

I like to think Burnie doesn't do anything at Rooster teeth, he just walks around the warehouse in the middle of all the productions going on and just wanders in on shows he thinks look fun

[@sleeepy181]

Same

[@jellydunne]

i assume thats what gus does too haha

[@mrmackellar3337]

Freedfg wouldn't surprise me

[@PainfulSin2811170]

That's the prerogatives of being a company founder.

[@mugetsu717]

I believe he is primarily a producer, and usually will help come up with skits and stuff for many of the shows, and of course playing/voicing characters. Otherwise, i think he does alot of promoting (for both RT and himself as a public figure).

[@zi0n781]

Burnies the type of Guy to look at a box of donuts wiggle his fingers and say "Don't mind if I do!"

[@MrCojaa]

lmao

[@williamlamassa173]

I know that's mean but I am a hundred percent sure that's happened

[@MiggeX]

zi0nst0ryt4ll4r why tf do I find this so funny 😂😂😂

[@TheEmerald97]

zi0nst0ryt4ll4r I'm pretty sure the made a short about him being like that with sandwiches.

[@Juju_Miner]

This is the most accurate thing iv read about Burnie

[@ninni7038]

I really appreciate Burnie's "I realize the situation isn't the same for everybody" -side note. It always rubs me the wrong way when people act like shitty parents don't exist.

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

I mean, there's many levels. There's abusive parents, which are like the worst. There's the ones that are negligent as a result of not being financially secure, which isn't much better. And then like a thousand different scenarios.

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

"Respect your elders." Yes, you should. But that shouldn't give your elders the ability to punch you in the face and not have anything come of it.

[@yukiandkanamekuran]

WizardOf I'm not just talking about physical abuse​ here. I mean that's why a lot of people have trust issues with authority. It's because they weren't respected or loved all the time. I meant that... people who say that and tell others respect them and denying that people can be shitty. I ran into a person saying that "parents can be never wrong" blah blah blah like bullshit.

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

Yeah, That was just the first example I thought of. Just replace "Punch" with "Anything bad ever" and it's pretty much the same. Yeah, I don't really like that phrase either.You know what's better? "A *Good* parent can never be wrong, they just don't know sometimes.(Except when it comes to helping with schoolwork, then they are probably more wrong than right.)"

[@yukiandkanamekuran]

WizardOf yup

[@LouisKing995]

Burnie is the reason that everything thing and everyone in that room is there. Literally. Can you imagine what that feels like? To be the progenitor of so many peoples professional lives? I doubt he dwells in it too much, but it's gotta feel good.

[@januariusofscythiaminor3696]

4/1/03 is when it all started 😉

[@codydotgg]

>insults Americans >watching American content

[@billsutherby]

alphadogg64 The war ended in 1783 brother, time to get over it...

[@LouisKing995]

Cody Nagy There was no need for the word retarded. But he is right, having months before days makes little sense. I mean, the rest of the planet has already realised this. Day-month-year. That's just logical.

[@januariusofscythiaminor3696]

alphadogg64 Sour because your country can't win a war without a country that rebelled? sad

[@Eksdecutioner]

Why is Burnie like the coolest person ever?

[@hankanderson8633]

THAgodfather55 he just is. He's that cool uncle we wish we all had.

[@fadfbadf3517]

ive never liked him since "bad ones"

[@snowball2052]

He's just cool. No reason He's just cool.

[@SgtMatty]

With a name like Burnie Burns how can you not be cool 😂😂😂😂

[@amogoftea]

Barbara, Burnie, Beth & Burden

[@amogoftea]

Just a disclaimer, she referred to herself as a burden hence the reason I made this joke. Of course I don't actually think she's a burden, she's one of the sweetest humans of Rooster Teeth & I love her 💜

[@GuiGonJohn]

Morgan Swain I was gonna say. I remember that but. if you know rooster teeth fans. they are dingle berries! :D

[@abbythacker02]

The four horsemen of the apocalypse

[@fourty2nd]

the fact you had to put a lil disclaimer is adorable ngl

[@FirFez]

20:45 sonder - n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own

[@he4rt5]

28:37 the fact that you can hear the seat fart as burnie shifts makes it 98375x better

[@DraperPeanut]

Watching burnies vlog then this just reaffirms my respect for him (not that it ever lessened in the first place)

[@creativemyth9654]

Imagine a RT Podcast with the host of every other podcast on it.

[@graysonrussell6518]

Watching this again made me realize I would really like to hear Burnie talk about “food addiction” as I have recently figured out that I have a binge eating disorder and want to learn about how other people deal with similar problems

[@astroAntagonist]

quick anecdote about addiction: My mom quit smoking when she was pregnant with me and my father helped her quit. She quit cold turkey and sometimes when she would crave them and when she would she would ask my dad to get her a pack on his way home from work and he would help her not pick up by "forgetting" to get them and by the time he would actually get home she didn't want them anymore anyway.

[@kellXdean]

When Burnie leaned over I expected him to say 'that's a lot of presidents'

[@rikerthe3rd]

This was by far the most I have liked a Always Open.

[@mozata6838]

39:56 KZbin interrupted Barbara's ad for one of their own ads. Lol

[@Wowheals12]

Anyone else feel some type of way when bethany talks?her voice is soooo soothing

[@SuperDylanFox]

Barb and Mariel both looked sooooo good this podcast hot damn

[@gen-zhippie2203]

What Barbara's talking about at 20:00 is an actual word. That sudden realization that everyone around you lives a life as unique and vivid as your own is called Sonder. It's a beautiful word.

[@mugetsu717]

I really enjoyed having Burnie on this one. He seems to just have a mature and considerate and has done alot of stuff that gives him the experience to really help out with some of the topics brought up on Always Open.

[@SmellyVideos]

Cool they got Seth Rogen on the show, sweet!

[@lincolnnewell8633]

he is the founder

[@MushroomSmuggler]

abe guy the joke went so far over your head

[@lincolnnewell8633]

yeah i know burnie is fat haha

[@Tryard15]

SmellyVideos Seth has an ugly laugh. Burnie doesn't....

[@LordThatch]

SmellyVideos people say I look like seth

[@1kitty54]

As a smoker and drinker my 2cents is if it's taking priority over you responsibilities for work or whatever for example if you work an 8 or 9 hour shift and can't go the entire shift without a cigarette and it interferes with your work ethic quit smoking same for drinking you got out have some drinks and have to work the next day and can't show up cause your too hungover it may become a problem moderation is key for any substance

[@iLorah]

Mariel glasses = awesome. (:

[@Doogleraia]

"The pre-bethanian times at Rooster Teeth were dark times, begging to have a light shone upon it. Then one day, there was order, there was certainty.. there was Bethany."

[@noteloyramirez]

I want a compilation of every ad segue on this show.

[@PacoHeavyFire]

More Burnie on every show please.

[@yarizbethorellana9432]

I love to watch Always Open every single friday, you guys are amazing!

[@johnmdify]

You may not like it, Barbara haters, but you can't deny, Dunkelman's got style.

[@hankanderson8633]

Gaming Cheaply aw man dunkleperson is so great though

[@SMWarri0r]

I usually read a lot, but while I was at college I didn't have as much time so I kinda stopped for a bit. When I was home for winter break I read a whole book in one day (started Jan 1st while going to bed after the festivities and finished while going to bed the next night). Made a resolution to finally read LOTR, finished it about mid-summer (took forever).

[@wolfdragon1150]

did anyone else see burnies blog before watching this a got to 31:08 and was like he memorized that part so well.

[@TheBoomersauce]

around 42:30 has actually really helped me for telling terrible news to my mom, thanks guys.

[@AlpakaWhacker]

32:44 Bernie talking about imaging Bruce like Bigfoot reminded me of that Episode of On the Spot where he actually did look like bigfoot in the woods xD

[@YoshitsuneBenkai]

Burnie just broke my mind. Picking up the bug with a straw... That was... Genious!

[@mistressinky4945]

I go to sleep every night listening to old podcasts. Woke up to them screaming a few times...

[@roopz10]

That thing about wondering about other peoples/strangers lives and their emotions and issues and stuff is called Sonder!

[@mattplay2027]

i love this show keep up the good work

[@mrcloudlion]

I love this show. I wait every week for the next episode.

[@NeoSharkk]

I may not be first. And I may not be early. But at least I showed up. And you guys showed up to.

[@moreofthesame2876]

I also have those deep thoughts about strangers that i meet and don't meet.

[@Woodee]

The smoking thing? If you ever had to watch someone you love deteriorate (slowly fall apart physically and mentally) from cancer due to smoking then no one would ever want to smoke. But the "it will never happen to me" mindset seemed ingrained in humans is too hard for some. Stop smoking, it is just not worth it!!

[@Konoshy]

Both my dad and my aunt watched their father die of cancer caused by smoking and it wasn't until MANY years later that they felt they were really ready to commit to quit smoking. Nicotine is so addictive that you have to be ready to quit for yourself and not to please others.

[@Woodee]

True... but it is still never easy to see the ones you love basically disintegrate in front of your eyes.

[@Woodee]

First comment flagged as spam? hahaha... truth hurts I guess!

[@Maddox_Clayne]

This is how my mom died over the course of 2 years. She would say "if I had to do it again, I'd change nothing". She thought Lung Cancer would take her, but she got Oralpharyngeal cancer that destroyed her slowly. It took her jaw, then her Esophagus, then her lungs, then her brain. It's awful.

[@11mrOZ]

Gotta say, seeing Burnie in a new light. He's actually pretty cool dude

[@TheTintedHalo]

11mrOZ I'm curious as to what your opinion of him was beforehand. You should totally watch his vlogs. He's honestly a really level-headed, smart guy.

[@11mrOZ]

My opinion was that I didn't really have an opinion of him. I have seen some of his vlogs and I had an impression that he was pretty cool dude but that was as far as it went. The way he spoke and conducted himself here simply made my generally positive impression of him become more of respect for him. But in saying that I have never met him so my comment is mostly redundant any way.

[@jerethgross6451]

16:20 that is my actual quote Mariel said. I think that's awesome

[@buddinghero]

Burnie dropping some serious truths! Love this episode, some wise words thank y'all

[@diragusa]

You've Got Mail, definitely change my life and how i look at romance. I loved that film ( said the only early 30's guy ever ) Barbara your awesome!

[@blitzboy25]

so a few weeks ago i commented about how i couldn't tell if a girl liked me and i didn't know if there was anything between us. well i was wrong and yesterday we started dating all thanks to your podcast thanks Barbara.

[@wh1tt3t]

The shot they took is a smaller version of a drink called carabooloo, along with 151 and pineapple juice, it also includes Malibu rum

[@elementohsix]

I don't have dreams about the RT employees but I absolutely adore Lindsey and i think she is such a great person and wish she were my friend in real life lol.

[@texntaxes3404]

Ive read about studies similar to the one burnie mentions at 39:10, it is possible that its about not recognising changes but from what I've read thats actually more about us being bad at recognising unfamiliar people

[@texntaxes3404]

(If you did the same experiment with people the participant knows then they would obviously notice the difference)

[@robinw.8083]

I actually had to confess that I was smoking to my mum when I was 16, because I went for a cigarette break without asking at my first ever job and got fired. She was super upset at me because her father had a stroke and lung cancer due to smoking most of his life, but she accepted it as a habit I had formed and even started bringing me tobacco when I moved to the uk (where its about twice as expensive as it is in Spain, where we live). Like Burnie said, non-abusive parents tend to care more about you than your bad habits.

[@laylatheartist5532]

My New Years resolution is to have a New Years resolution which always is just to have a New Years resolution

[@DaSimsNetwork]

At 20:21 i always think about stuff like that, other peoples lives and how we all go through a lot of the same things and want a lot of the same things. Especially when on psychedelics lol.

[@mjcaboose_8taxes661]

Such chivalry from burnie in this podcast

[@orsonschuijers9865]

This went off topic real quick

[@Terminado907]

orson schuijers no, this is always open

[@orsonschuijers9865]

+Duncan Wright (Terminado) No, this is Patrick

[@Terminado907]

orson schuijers woah.

[@teipeu9033]

orson schuijers sBurnie put them on the spot when he showed up uninvited.

[@orsonschuijers9865]

+Drunkenflowerface i know, but it didnt follow the subjects that they were talking about

[@Mattteus]

Month goals are great, less initial pressure

[@leodavinci6149]

The more i listen to Burnie the more i realize how much our personalities are alike. Its crazy how alike we think.

[@JonarusDraconius]

OMG! I only just noticed the "Punderdome" thing on the shelf! GOD DAMMIT BARB!

[@yeetboi4035]

Burnie getting the bug out of the drink so clean such a dad thing

[@austinlauver0197]

I love how the people at roster teeth are really popular like celebrities.

[@ElGordoMaton]

Was having a shity week Saw a new ep of Always Open Life is good

[@charlesburrows687]

OMG Burnie, When Harry met Sally is my favorite rom com too.

[@gracehassler9518]

This is my favorite show on roster teeth!!

[@Rookerchu]

I paused at 26:10 and Mariel is making the most adorable expression.

[@n0body550]

Best couch yet

[@patrickerwin4922]

Because if Caribou Lou

[@TycoonHL]

151 RUM, PINEAPPLE JUICE AND MALIBU CARIBOU GET THEM ALL NUMB.

[@Jazz-Singher]

MegaTim46 hahaha Tech N9NE is a beast

[@hulk4080]

MegaTim46 that's exactly what I was thinking when they didn't know

[@FxxGirl]

they need to add 151

[@ClappedOutMW]

as soon as they talked about the drink, the song came.into me head

[@ChaseHopkins.]

I once met this girl in South Carolina and we hit it off pretty well chatting up and having a blast. we didn't talk about where we were from (met in hotel lobby) well my vacation was over and I flew back to Oregon and was holding a door for people that were leaving the airport and she walked by and we made eye contact talked for a little and went on our ways..... was truly an amazing coincidence.

[@TheWinterPhoenix]

When speaking of the changes and how your brain will fight to do big changes and revert back they mentioned weight loss and also mentioned about cutting foods but you don't need to do change your diet you just need to change how much you exercise. I never changed my eating habits and i lost 70 almost 80 pounds, drank soda, still ate fast food, and all the junk food. I just walked 10 miles a day by i live in an area with a bunch of hills i burnt almost all my calories if not more then i consumed and that's legit all you need to do.

[@inura25]

The Caribou lmao just short of Caribou Lou missing 151 half a bottle of 151 in a gallon jug a cup of malibu and the rest pineapple juice

[@thewindthatshakesbar]

caribou already exists as a drink, French canadian lumberjacks were drinking loads of it back in the late 19th and early 20th century. Apparently it's rough gin that was originally mixed with caribou blood.

[@thewindthatshakesbar]

And I ain't even joking.

[@jwolfe769]

my highschool had such a problem with chewing tobacco and people spitting ont he floors that the blue carpets were turning brown, so alot of teachers started making you open your mouth to check or making you swallow before you could go into class

[@potatobreadgaming2995]

only ever had someone try to get me to dip when I was really high and luckily I still had enough sense to say no

[@drtaru]

21:00 that feeling is called Sonder

[@CassadillaPerry]

Nooooo. I enjoyed this one so much, when barbera went into the outro it was like, no way it can't have been 50 minutes already. Burnie should be uninvited more often.

[@XXMAN941]

not only do we eat black eyed peas for good luck but we wrap a few in something, normally paper towel or napkin, and put it in our wallets for luck with wealth and prosperity.

[@redux4892]

i watch the vlog and he mentioned streaks and then hes is here taking about streaks on the same day upload

[@macdore1852]

being a heroin and tobacco addict, this episode really speaks to me. love you Burnie and Babs

[@laxm0nkey]

for those unaware, the drink caribou lou (malibu, pineapple juice, and 151) comes from a tech n9ne song and that shot is likely a derivation of it

[@nesiwatson]

I had a dream about hanging out with Miles. Like I showed him my hometown and we talked about cartoons. It was pretty neat

[@trafalgarlaw3842]

Lol they drank the caribou and said it would be a good drink XD it is but with a lou on the end

[@thepalebeast]

ALMOST a Caribou Lou, and I hope they listen to Caribou Lou at some point by Tech N9ne

[@jeffcas5550]

32:47 can some one please make an art of yang and tai doing the bigfoot pose

[@alrockyoung6996]

hey. I dig your style Ms. dunkelman

[@lukekeegan2374]

hope they do an episode about boredom

[@amrcncllctble]

Speaking of crossing paths. Since he put the wrap on his car, I see Burnie on my way to work at least once a week.

[@warriorguydudething]

Burnie was so real in this I don't even know what to think

[@lt.spangler4445]

I swear the shot is the drink that Jessica Nigri was drinking on the show, also an unreal beverage guys, so yeah you should try that out

[@jtlackner]

I've probably just never noticed this before but, rogue Yang behind Burnie 😁

[@elfiefromangelcity6142]

Jason GrumpyDruunk They should move her around every episode.

[@Chaosmoonshade]

the danish cigarette packs also have pictures of grimm stuff about smoking. recently, there was a law, that demanded them to make the pictures larger.

[@videodood1]

If you are ever setting a resolution for the next day instead of saying 'tomorrow' say the date because then, even if you don't do it, it feels like a failure and not like you are just pushing it so you are more likely to do it the next time

[@jamilsalman8321]

Bethany: ur the only dad at this table Barbara(sassily): uh excuse me!?

[@punkbastrd]

"I've got ten fingers, let's go." - Worst pickup line, ever.

[@ineedanewname4844]

Yay Bethany is on 😋😁😆

[@vohlorax]

I have dreams about Barbara all the time..

[@christopherhearty5451]

What they're talking about for the news years resolution thing, reminds me of yes man

[@VocaloidHayate]

The shot's a Caribou because Malibu & Pineapple in a larger cocktail is a Caribou Lou

[@a.m.u.d.o]

As someone who’s parents smoke and chew tobacco I used to see my mom smoking and ball my eyes out because it disgusted me so much and sometimes to this day and get very teary-eyed and just go to my room

[@Evitaschannel]

Hailee Satterfield Did you have the same reaction to them drinking?

[@xXFoolishValoRazorXx]

Barbara with her hair up is primo

[@Bwetzel888]

Omg the bugs in rice is horrible but also frighteningly common. Check your rice bags before cooking yo!! Also if you do see those buggies wrap that bag up tightly in one or two other bags and toss it out. If those nasties escape into the rest of your pantry they are HARD to get rid of >.

[@j_0076]

I feel like I connect with Mariel and Bernie on this ep. Mariel with her ethnic background and her experience with her family like the smoking. Bernie with being catholic, and randomly liking the smell of smoke. Which I will say everyone thinks is weird but me and other similar people.

[@NinjaSlay3r]

MY FAVORITE MUDER IS THE BEST THANKS BETHANY AND MARIEL LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!!

[@Wogle]

Not sure if it's because Burnie is on this episode, but one of the KZbin adverts that came up partway through was for a drone...

[@ZanderTHV]

the drink caribou could be a reference to Caribou Lou, a recipe popularized by Tech N9ne lol
