Marcus: *Recites a beautifully positive metaphor of how just like the table, you can put your broken pieces back together* Gavin: mY CREEPER CAR

[@keefegirls22]

Trevor and Alfredo switching shirts and seats mid-add read is ICONIC (56:20 vs 58:18)

[@Funilesh]

keefegirls22 ad*

[@mcjelloman-1158]

No fuck nugget, its an addition.

[@Funilesh]

Trystan Stevenson ou my bad dude

[@mcjelloman-1158]

Ye

[@thetostada1326]

it's ad for advertisement you fucking dumb boy

[@TAP7a]

I love that Marcus is having like an emotional experience talking about all the artistry that went into the table, and what it means to him and the the sentimental value it has, and then everyone just goes "hurr it's got lego in it"

[@paradigm9061]

In true Achievement Hunter fashion, all emotional value is disregarded. The only thing that matters is how many different ways they can destroy this new masterpiece.

[@creepycrawlie]

it's just a table

[@williamgardner545]

When the artist mindset meets the entertainer.

[@bradpennartz]

And it took less than 10 mins for them to talk about destroying it...

[@alanblewett5454]

Megan Gottagofast Nothing is ever " just" something

[@bcubed7899]

I love how Papa Dooley and Lil J have the same speech patterns. And they have a lot of the same mannerisms.

[@ryaxis6365]

Marcus: in need sentimental items, Ryan: silently hands a empty diet coke can and walks off. :D

[@tylerslittlecafe1288]

Hey, I'm sure that for Ryan the sight of an empty diet coke is a very emotionally trying experience, and that every empty can is a part of his life experience

[@afkmh2392]

Caffeinated Construction shut the fuck up dude

[@captainteeko4579]

Ryan what do u own in your home that we could put into this table instead of just a simple mention in a cloudberry kingdom episode?

[@ConfidentMelon]

what's wrong with you?

[@ashleycooper6772]

Maybe he just didn’t want to throw it away so he gave it to Marcus🤷🏻‍♀️

[@MessyGamer616]

4:46 okay i'm surprised noone spoke about how perfect jack's comment here was, responding to the "whats that" of what sounded like a bird by saying quietly "thats gavin..."

[@snailorgy]

I refuse to call the new show anything other than 'are you there ghosts its me geoff'. Im still bloody excited tho

[@UponThisAltar]

snailorgy Gotta agree, it was easily the best name idea they mentioned.

[@connorarmstrong2201]

Can't wait for "Flinchless Lazery-Doo"

[@recklessturtle7462]

Flinchless bussy-Doo

[@Poppythedog2]

Connor Armstrong throw Geoff around??

[@jonkmaster10]

“Flinchless bullety doo”

[@beautifulmidnight]

I totally misread that as “Flinchless Larry-Doo” and the mental image of them throwing Shifty at each other has me in tears.

[@grimlockthe1823]

Papa Dooley looks less scary then I imagined him to be

[@dakota8302]

GrimlockThe18 same

[@kaylynne3748]

I foolishly imagined he’d be taller. No idea why.

[@grimlockthe1823]

Kasey Elliott same

[@adampritchett316]

GrimlockThe18 But look at those biceps!

[@ManskiTheRed]

Marcus is an amazingly talented artist

[@Imaproshaman7]

Jeremy's dad is so PURE.

[@VideoSage]

The way Jeremy is always talking about his dad, I expected a 6 foot bald biker dude, with a tank top, and maybe a mustache. He looks like he runs a grocery store, and gives free flowers out on Sundays.

[@AngMcSmuff]

Sage Channel flower shop owner during the day & sundays, badass at night

[@hail2tfreeman]

46:19 PAPA DOOLEY!!!

[@whiteboyswaggism]

HES SHORT TOO

[@freebody_unfortunately8325]

HES FUN SIZE!!!

[@Sklade]

My fav part is when Papa Dooley would talk and I thought it was Jeremy. You can tell they're father and son.

[@D4RK_FL4M3]

6:00 the look of exitement when marcus said it might be fire proof.

[@Th3R4junC4jun]

"how to put your broken self back together." for a table for a that Griffon chainsawed apart, while going through a divorce with Geoff. Damn thats kinda deep. Geoff is a man made of steel apparently thats some tough shit to go through

[@Providence83]

My favourite part of the new achieve poster is that everyone on the cop car is basically just on it or touching it sort of nonchalantly EXCEPT for Ryan who's depicted as actively trying to damage it with a golf club.

[@TheTexan83]

Alfredo's minecraft skin should just be the inverse of Trevors.

[@dovahspy9813]

I don't think I quite understand... do you mean an iron golem wearing a human costume?

[@TheTexan83]

Dovah Spy color inverted

[@ArjunG445]

Jeremy’s dad is chill asf

[@alyssanoel5883]

Omg the clothing lines have evolved so much

[@paxcallow]

the stuff marcus said about the table was beautiful :')

[@anonymousvendetta3290]

paxdoesathing “mY CreePEr cAr”

[@lobsterkeener]

Do you think Trevor approved those shirts just so Alfredo and him could switch during live broadcasts?

[@SkywardSpork]

lobstermobster by the colours of it, it's probably completely intentional

[@JackBessant]

‘MY CREEPER CAR! NOOOO!’ 😂

[@RockZombieIAm]

I was almost sad about no Jeremy but then he shows up with PAPA DOOLEY and I'm ecstatic

[@JustinWPruett]

I was sad when Geoff left and I realized Michael was going to do the ad read. Michael is my favorite Achievement Hunter, but Geoff is the ad king. I loved seeing how excited the live crowd got last week when Michael handed Geoff the iPad.

[@leigh6979]

AS AN ARTIST, THIS WAS SO CUTE TO WATCH. It warmed my heart to see Marcus quietly geeking out as the guys actually spend more than 10 seconds paying attention to the table, absorbing that as a huge accomplishment. I feel you, man. Also, great idea turning it into a kintsugi type project! Your work is definitely being appreciated.

[@iCeMaNtHeBeSt]

Geoff is really doing fantastic not drinking great job Geoff 👊👊

[@MrKrimson]

Can we get a round of applause for Marcus - even if its alone in your home!?

[@sierralvx]

47:48 Jeremy's dad is so frickin adorable! The Dooley's are just full of cuties!

[@jaycox994]

I used to hang bandanas out my back pocket when I skateboarded as a teen. It was my sweat rag, didn't do it for long. Was constantly being confronted on what "set I was reppin" lol

[@dakodasayman2443]

Listening to Markus talking about the table is great. He is so passionate and so excited about it and also everything he does.

[@teaganbigelow7580]

Jack has Caiti as his background on his phone and I think that’s the cutest thing

[@chaseteel251]

Marcus is a mad genius

[@thebigbear4696]

Marcus for employee of the year

[@B3Band]

49:26 "I like this his most defining characteristic is his color" Well, Gavin, welcome to the United States of America.

[@Coleyman79]

I don’t know how often it happens when they’re on the podcast together, but Alfredo and Trevor switching shirts and seats during ad reads 😂😂

[@TheChapelx]

The amount of people asking about the title just proves people don't even bother watching the videos first

[@lukeperryglover]

Wow, the table looks absolutely amazing now. "My creeper car!" haha Marcus continues to amaze.

[@5t3v3n12343211]

37:41 ‘Post Malone-ials’ lmaooo bravo Trevor thts def an underrated joke haha

[@ScarcelyLucky]

So... Mr. Dooley is the new AH member then?

[@chasemeek7418]

I appreciate that rooster doesn't penalize it's fan base I'd they don't subscribe to them. They give the subscribers perks, but they still let they're fan base enjoy their shit-or at least the vast majority of it

[@davidkilpatrick1]

Lovely work by Marcus and his crew

[@KatChartreux]

*Lindsays shirt honestly looks nice af and I'll definitely be getting one!* 10:35

[@tymosher17]

Kat Chartreux I was your 69th like 😁

[@Thegadgetshowguide]

Yeah it looks awesome

[@pars.]

Will Lindsay's shirts come in any size other than 5XL?

[@KatChartreux]

ベイリーPars don't be an ass

[@JustinPlayss]

thats god damn funny pars

[@EvilDuckOfDoom]

Marcus did an awesome job on the table. I swear every thing I see him make i'm impressed.

[@ToX1cPythonz]

So after 118 episodes of Off Topic they finally got a decent table.

[@Charlie-mr1sb]

Marcus is beautiful, I mean his minds beautiful.

[@CButtonshaw]

it's okay. he is an attractive man.

[@Alanb225]

Jeremy sounds so much more Boston with his dad around, it’s great!

[@fappleetaer400]

I like how Trevor and Alfredo swapped shirts and seats when they came back on

[@BrandonCMaximum]

Has anyone made a montage of the table's best moments?

[@hornetf18]

Ask Hembo to do it.

[@jasonmoore5619]

I actually took photography in college for a year, and the developing photos in a dark room was by far my favourite part. It was incredibly relaxing, and if it wasn't for the theory side of things I'd have likely carried on with it

[@Charlie-mr1sb]

I hope their new Minecraft series is them rebuilding achievement city .

[@WruceBayne]

I think that would be both entertaining and incredibly monotonous. Based on the way they've talked about "The next year of Minecraft Let's Plays", it does sound like they plan on rebuilding, but I'm wondering how they will put it into effect.

[@zacharym898]

“Achieveland”

[@GuruAuggie]

What happened to achievement City?

[@phucko6952]

Agustin Diaz The save file got corrupted. Gone forever pretty much.

[@GuruAuggie]

Johnathan Pepper damn that sucks all that work gone...

[@Christian_Luczejko]

I knew it! I was hoping he would do that whole "magic wood ring" thing with the colored/clear resins.

[@Spetia]

That table is fucking awesome, Marcus and Griffon did an amazing job

[@SullySadface]

That's gotta be the coolest table I've seen in a while. Also can't wait for the RT life with laser pancakes.

[@OppositeofHATE7]

SullySadface they did it on the rt podcast already....shrove Tuesday

[@Deadlyliess]

OffTopic #118 New Table Top! also that table looks fantastic.

[@cshep112001]

They need to have a beer tap cam to capture all the times where gavin fucks up pouring a beer

[@chaiseface8133]

Michael and Jeremy explaining all their dumb shit to papa Dooley is so great

[@M3WT-va]

I swear Trevor and Alfredo are just Yin-Yangs of eachother, look at the way the dressed for this podcast alone and you'll see what I mean

[@terrorofdeath3280]

Papa Dooley's confused expression reminded me of the deer Geoff ran over. XD

[@bonesofeao3968]

Papa dooley!

[@christianrodriguez6051]

Absolutely loved this episode! From Lindsay’s awesome clothing line coming out to Jeremy’s dad showing up asking what off topic was all about.lol

[@nicholisling2657]

AH has access to lasers...may the Mad King help us all.

[@sunkiller5682]

I just realized how much I miss achievement city

[@TwoBlade5]

50:26 Now Jeremy has to join the next Drag Queen On the Spot

[@jesswilliams3897]

Quick tip for the garbage disposal... small jack... jack it up to the right height and connect everything

[@Painteagle]

Michael in the first ten minutes is so genuinely happy! It's great!

[@alizah2589]

What's with the title? Edit: its cuz the new table is basically a reconstructed version of the old one.,.Marcus tells a story bout you're broken pieces can be put back together and something bout appreciating imperfection and geoff likens it to the story of Achievement Hunter lol

[@hail2tfreeman]

wait for the reveal

[@Avalos1112]

Marcus explains it

[@dpstyles95]

..How can you ask that question? did you not watch like 5 minutes into the video at-least? to see if you maybe get an answer?..

[@alizah2589]

Daniel Peters dude calm down lol i started it but then had to leave ,saw the new table doe shis lit

[@hecht0520]

3:38 someone didnt watch AT ALL

[@alainawittum8011]

Marcus did such a beautiful job on the table !

[@rkempo]

Gavin looks absolutely knackered.

[@maxmattt]

Maybe he’s had trouble sleeping since the home intrusion. I know I would If someone broke into my house with the intention of killing me.

[@Kari-tu3fs]

I love what they did with the table. It shall never die

[@maxmattt]

55:53 I was expecting Jeremy to run back in and grab it.

[@JustMeandMySelf2]

Weird coming back to this now a days

[@angelt5339]

Arkansas is really proud as well in the sense that the shape is on everything. Also the razorback.

[@canidsong]

I had a Tyco Rebound as a teen. Probably the most fun I had with a pretty broad experiene of R/C cars.

[@reecegielen9295]

Ladies and gentlemen, Papa Dooley

[@sidowninc]

Great job Marcus!

[@hornetf18]

It’s Generation i. (as in iPhone for touch technology). 1:25:30 then you have to worry about a feedback loop, and you can only adjust the gain so much.

[@firstlast-pp7tq]

ok but if they sold ah booty shorts i'd buy like twenty

[@swagg3rmuffin]

Biggy keepy uppy is 100% them trying to keep the 8ft beach ball in the air. I’m exited

[@aquagamer1212]

I NEED the Lindsay clothing line

[@aquagamer1212]

Also, can't wait for the new minecraft series! #FirstMember

[@coreyphillips8352]

i think i first started watching off topic at around episode 237 or so, and i dont remember ever seeing this new table, 237 was covid times but even when going back to office this table wasnt used, so im guessing it gets destroyed at some point

[@JackBessant]

The new table looks amazing 😍

[@MrKrimson]

THAT, IS THE COOLEST TABLE EVER, OF ALL TIME.

[@Stingray42285]

Love the new look of the old table

[@davidsteppe9882]

Papa Dooley!! This just went from a background podcast to a drop everything and watch podcast!

[@MultiDemension]

I need a video of his process making it!

[@rjspires]

Great work on the table Marcus.

[@codbaileyd]

Biggie keepie uppie is a spin off of achivement haunters where they find the ghost of biggie smalls and try and keep him awake

[@MrKrimson]

*55:57** ive never seen gav so serious in the last 6 years wtf!*

[@ThePurpleMushroom]

Maybe its off camera Gavin

[@MrMoustacheNinja]

WHEN DID ALFREDO AND TREVOR CHANGE SWITCH SHIRTS!?! HOW/WHEN DID I MISS IT!?! Also the table is lookin nice. Bravo Marcus 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Hillclimbfan1990]

I've been that guy holding a boom for 30 minutes....It sucks to hold that thing up for so long. Only thing keeping you going is that you know you'll have to hold it even longer if you drop down because they will have to do a reshoot when that happens.

[@RafaVallejosBA]

Love the new table and all, but why the legs with the primer grey? Forgot to give it the color coats?

[@jaytullo5486]

“Don’t destroy the table.” They never destroyed it in the first place, or the second place, how and why would they now?

[@linkstorm6]

Oh my god I watched this at twelve today and when Geoff said the time I'm like "Is this live?" Because it just synced perfectly

[@DiabolicNick]

This is where I like to think they did the resin from my comment on the table breaking video where I suggested it xD

[@deejackson5602]

That table is sexy, man. Great job Marcus.

[@SlimeMage32]

Marcus is amazing

[@Coolbeans_1999]

I like how the thumbnail was the literal last frame of the video

[@GabePuratekuta]

The thumbnail spoiled the ending!

[@orakuotaku]

Awe the final sky factory... We shall miss you

[@GREGBENSONISTHEBEST]

the same thing happened to me when i was a baby, i had long curly hair and some woman came up to my mom and said i was a very pretty girl. i still hear about it sometimes from my mom.

[@SuopIsTheWinner]

Jeremy's fucking dad is THE BEST. Oh my god he was just throwing Jeremy under the bus HARD.
