[@1215298]

They got Griff/Geoff as management

[@redtaileddolphin1875]

+Jordan Beeney Grif* He's pretty particular about that second f

[@CrissKarma23]

RedTailedDolphin I want to high five you for that

[@kylesmith4341]

fatmanfalling "WHO'S RUNNING THIS ARMY?!?!??!?!"

[@1215298]

RedTailedDolphin I know XD

[@youngblood6661]

Classic RoosterTeeth, a panel, consisting of five guys that created a huge company starts by them bitching over seating arrangements and lack of microphones

[@Head12343]

aj gilmore There was no need for that second comma.

[@youngblood6661]

Zadyn​ please don't take points off my grade

[@youngblood6661]

Zadyn​ keep in mind I wrote that comment at 4 am my time

[@Head12343]

Snazzy

[@epicfail12336]

aj gilmore not exactly huge for a company but surely amazing

[@DawryMike]

I was hoping they would all be wearing 1700s style clothes

[@krazyj2010]

Myke Alien Me too!

[@monkeyhorserider]

Myke Alien You're pretty

[@bmo14lax]

+monkeyhorserider THIRSTY AF

[@DawryMike]

Brian Morgan lol what

[@bmo14lax]

Lol someone called that chick up there pretty then i called them thirsty, and then they deleted their comment. Such story, many cheers.

[@hannahg6078]

It's funny now. I just learned about this panel at RTX 2016 when Burnie told me. It's sad to hear about them announcing the accident to everyone but it's also cool to look at this and see how far I've come afterwards. Also I'm gonna brag here but I've hugged all of them now and it' amazing to be where I am now compared to how I was in the accident. I can actually function now and they were all so happy to see and meet me. And just an FYI for those reading this, I'm one of the two survivors of the accident. I'm glad I've come far and I intend to Keep Moving Forward.

[@blacktigers98]

Hi hannah! I know that sorry doesn't begin to cover it, but I really am sorry for your loss. I'm really glad you're ok (ish) now, and I wish there was more I could do to help. I know I'm literally just a nameless face on the internet who happened to watch the podcast and saw your comment before everyone else lol, but still... I wanna make it out to a future RTX (from jersey), and hopefully we might get to meet. :D

[@BrxIghtside]

Gus is awesome when it comes to rules and order,he shuts down ppl who want stuff signed during a fucking panel,dont waste ppls time awkwardly walking up to the stage getting shit signed when theres tons of places to do just that

[@KobianoRoll]

Or just... Gus is awesome

[@Shawn4815162342]

At the end, Joel should have said, "What do you mean 'IF' I was the main character of Red vs. Blue?"

[@bobbiestirek3619]

ha

[@DragonMaster32200]

Caboose: Most innocent person in the universe Joel: Has a mouth as foul as Caboose is innocent. I love them both...

[@OneOnOne1162]

This was definitely the funniest RTX panel in my opinion.

[@marnimagaro8189]

Yeah seriously, they're all really comfortable speaking and have great chemistry I love it!

[@coyrex1480]

Joel doing that Gavin Embryo impression made my almost choke on the apple I'm eating.

[@ItIsAYesOrNoQuestion]

lil fetus free

[@jankyorange878]

ItIsAYesOrNoQuestion Gavin Fretus

[@SpamCanSlam]

Janky Orange Gavin Freetus. Gambryo Freetus

[@MrBabynova]

Best part, "I'm a physicist dammit! Not an English-man!"

[@AquaBeanss]

I really want all of them to do a founding fathers podcast. Have all of them on there just talking about the good ol' days

[@TehConqueror]

aquanette123 sounds like a one time thing given how busy all of em are. for me I want an On the Spot episode starring all of them. Sorry, Risinger but the host has to be one of them too.

[@AquaBeanss]

TehConqueror that'd be a really funny episode

[@AquaBeanss]

***** 100 times yes to this

[@OfficialTWSandco]

+aquanette123 1000 times yes to what everyone is saying here.

[@derpytw]

+TehConqueror gus host. Joel and geof. Then burnie and matt

[@nerdfighter102]

Well funny to say I am the girl that ended the panel!!

[@KyriosJones]

I love that instead of getting heckled, they heckle the audience

[@TimothyBolivar]

What Geoff said at 49:52 almost made me wanna tear up to see how far they've come.

[@TehConqueror]

***** yeah but then 50:17 picks it up

[@CopperSucks]

"I would kill to have five seconds in you" - Geoff Ramsey RTX 2015

[@aznknight69]

That girl at the end got rekt lol!!

[@vonsege5088]

***** She got got

[@gen-zhippie2203]

***** What time did that happen?

[@gen-zhippie2203]

No shit :p

[@Slippy100]

James Moriarty then why did you ask?

[@gen-zhippie2203]

DankWeedThe2nd I was asking for a specific time, not just an area of time. I already knew it was at the end of the video, but if no one's gonna give a time then I'll just move along.

[@Checkmate1138]

Man, even though I've only been with Rooster Teeth since 2012, I still get all reflective and happy when I see these original guys who started one of the greatest things to happen in the Millennium. What a joy it is to see them all together.

[@SlightlyNotorious]

I did my undergrad degree in astrophysics and I can tell you that Mr. "let me preference this" is a big fat liar. Rocket science is mostly calculus and vector calculus. That's not exactly 8th grade math.

[@TsubanR10]

SlightlyNotorious As current student majoring in Aerospace Engineering I will agree with your statement.. In 8th grade I was freaking learning long division by hand and like basic algebra not what I am taking right now and I am just scratching the surface.

[@XeroChief9]

In 8th grade I was learning basic calc and trig, along with advanced algebra.

[@XeroChief9]

In 8th grade I was learning basic calc and trig, along with advanced algebra.

[@SlightlyNotorious]

TweakerOnThe360 Where the heck did you go to school? And what sort of "basic calc" are we talking about?

[@yumyum366]

SlightlyNotorious It's like 10th grade math, earlier if you're in a private school or a place with a good education.

[@R1L2C3114]

The 6th chair is a tribute to Nathan for those of you that don't understand

[@philipjwh2580]

Who the hell is Nathan?

[@SackVegasAnime]

@@philipjwh2580 I believe he was a really early on employee that past away.

[@BodgeAttack]

@@SackVegasAnime He didn't die. He left to be part of a film company.

[@lololol924]

The "killing our momentum" joke must've been the sickest burn I have ever heard. Seriously, how do they come up with that on the spot.

[@zippyzooza]

I'M JON RISINGER AND WELCOME TO ON THE SPOT

[@murrlin2m1n82]

+Zaid Amjad thank you HAHAHAHA

[@burningburney94]

Duh duh duh duh duuuuuh

[@JCisKing1337]

Joel was born September 16, 1971 and is currently 44

[@Luissv72]

U get that from his IMDB?

[@JCisKing1337]

Luissv72 Just typed 'Joel Heyman' into google

[@themagic8481]

Geoff is just so effortlessly fucking cool.

[@ImKyleConway]

I want to be like him when I'm older

[@hyperslow1233]

+ImKyleConway That's the equivalent of wanting to be like Santa Clause, you want to be just like him, and you can never achieve it.

[@thereaISIimShady]

DragonhunterZeroSeven Nineteen its funny you used the word "achieve"...

[@TotesMagee]

I never knew that was why it was named "Rooster Teeth" xD

[@assistantmagus5213]

Cockbite.

[@justindiprose2311]

I'm from Edmonton, Alberta. And I can vouch for what Joel is saying, no one here knows how to drive in the winter. Or any other day of the year for that matter.

[@FuzzyBuns09]

I feel like im listening to this live from Wisconsin and they're still in Texas because I can barely hear them....

[@Rutter941]

What 19 year old has never seen a Walkman?? I'm 20 and i used one

[@kevinloftus5949]

+Ben Orwell earthworm jim

[@kevinloftus5949]

+Ben Orwell haha never played it mate. It's a reference to an achievement hunter LP. I think it's a GTA one.

[@tzick]

+Rutsy I am 19, I've owned one for about 5 years now

[@MajorZeldork]

+Rutsy I'm 18 and even I had one as a kid

[@pixel7680]

I am 15 and I have been watching Rooster Teeth since I was 4 years old when it first started. They've taught me most of my vocabulary. In other words, I demand a fucking apology from these guys. Do you know how many ass beatings I've got from swearing so god damn much?

[@Toasty283]

I am 15 as well, but I've been watching them since 2010. I think I found them through Michael's Rage Quit on the Surgeon Simulator.

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

Adam Picton Why the hell were you watching this shit when you were 4?!

[@geniusrick78]

+HarryBillyBobGeorge Parents probably

[@hamsternioart1560]

Toasty283 The exact same here! Except I was 12 or 13 but still!

[@bobbiestirek3619]

fuckin red vs blue

[@maximilian420]

Thank you for recording this!!!

[@NotMac]

I can't remember that last time ive seen all the guys in the same video It's a nice feeling

[@IHeartBingo]

Awesome panel. Unfortunately missed it when it was streamed, thanks so much for uploading!

[@jacobkratt4598]

TIL that Sips of the Yogscast is the master of the 'Dad face' 5:55

[@lv70rouge]

I wanna let all of you new kids know, that these 5 were the original podcast crew

[@mrmustard98]

Don't forget Griffon and the occasional Ben and Jack!

[@IndefiniteIdea]

These guys beat death. They are going to live forever.

[@GojiraRising]

How far they've fallen since.

[@mrmustard98]

OG PODCAST CREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Burnz404]

i miss watching content with all you guys :) the best !

[@fadingjedi]

And now all that's left is Simmons and Griff. 😭

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

and now , 2.5 remain....

[@lolman2762]

So, That's how they got the name RoosterTeeth... Hadn't heard that story.

[@Clipstreu]

If there is one thing you learn from 25:20ish, let it be that passion can take you a long way. If you have a team of passionate people, you can do anything. That's the ideal as well. Be passionate and trust in your team to care enough to do their job to the best of their abilities.

[@comicdans7732]

Near the end it just became RT Roasts.

[@hiitting]

They were in Edmonton?!? *silently cries* THEY NOTICED US?!?

[@1985Cyrus]

1st 20 seconds pretty much sums these guys up perfectly

[@jackb.2706]

To add a bit of clarification for anyone who happens to see this comment, I was going to ask them for their opinion of the transition to the new website considering how long it has been since the last update and also taking into account the site's recent bugginess as related to the lengthy transition process. My plan had been to make a joke in character beforehand, though the unexpected additional condition of the 'lightning round' beginning right when it was my turn threw me off a bit. I was not sure what else to do so I went ahead with my over-planned plan and was promptly cut short, causing it to quickly collapse and appear as if I had actually under-planned, ironically enough. As a result, I just did my best to play off of their (admirably witty) comments and make a little scene out of it-- which seems to have, at least, caught the attention of the audience. Luckily, I did finally get to ask my question the next evening when I went up and had a conversation with Matt during the intermission between the videogame orchestra and the Bare Naked Ladies playing at the Paramount. Anyway, that's my story, so now you know what was going on in my head during this whole thing (if you were actually interested enough to read this far). Sorry for the wall of text.

[@xwingvmanx]

This is the roosterteeth podcast i want

[@redfoxgirl]

The before panel was amazing...

[@slutmuffin1971]

Joel is 4-fucking-3. He is forty fucking years old. Hes older than Burnie, fucking look at him!

[@bookl0ver]

Joel is old, but he's fucking hot!

[@catchingbird1]

+bookl0ver yes

[@Daywalkr]

God I miss those guys being together :(

[@aidankimberlin1716]

If it makes Burnie feel any better I'm 14 and I've used a Walkman before...

[@TheKoalaLunch]

The second trailer they showed was the Lazer Team trailer.

[@TheTaff512]

"Make stuff that you want to watch; don't make stuff to service an audience." That right there is why I love this company. They aren't out there to placate people, but rather make stuff they enjoy. It's why I keep watching their videos, it's why they continue to be funny, and it's why they don't give a flying fuck what people say in the comments.

[@ASRA177]

thanks for this :D super quiet though i felt like i was making out with my headphones to hear it xD

[@imcookedgoose]

As I lay here having an asthma attack, the jokes of the original 5 still make me laugh xD. These guys are great

[@Keyboards4life]

I like to think that Caboose is the main character in RVB and that it all happens inside his head

[@Tgunner888]

Realized im a giant nerd. When they said reaper i thought overwatch.

[@stephencooper1012]

imho the best of the panels

[@LondonBikerReal]

5 fucking people died man that is messed up. i feel like real sad. guys please no trolls lets all pay our respects towards them. they are like us sitting behind a monitor but they did what we cant do which is leave out bedroom. lets all pay our tributes please no trolls. people like us wanted to see their favorite youtubers live so leave your respect down below. hopefully this will be seen by their family as a tribute. 5 lives have lost to a fucking driver in Texas. so guys lets big up these fans

[@KobianoRoll]

RTX kills people

[@SteelChains]

RAGING BLAZE PRESS F TO PAY RESPECTS

[@Omega90Blargh]

RAGING BLAZE Not to seem like I'm correcting you, but 2 actually lived, although one of them is in a coma. So I guess there's some kind of silver lining, but it's still real fucked up.

[@LondonBikerReal]

Omega90Blargh yea but still 2 still died and the 3rd is a maybe

[@bmo14lax]

RIP

[@LewDawg46]

Grim Reaper?? More like the Dim Reaper!

[@Hapsetshut]

This is beautiful. I've only been a big RT fan for a little over 2yrs but all the things they;'re talking about I know so well, how do you not know what a Walkman is?! Also I remember how big red vs blue was when it first hit even though i wasn't a fan at the time

[@deaththekidluv8]

The Rooster Teeth Dads™

[@epfilmsyt]

as a machinimator (not as big as RT obviously xD), I freakin love hearing these guys talking about machinimating

[@silentash94]

God damn burnie looks like a pro wrestler now his arms are like fucking trains O.O

[@bassdropheadshot]

Burnie throwing so much shade

[@williamq78]

The vinegar on this panel is real

[@bmo14lax]

Joel, "Now the E.T game has a friend!" I lost it lol hes the fuckin man

[@nonagon9192]

aaand im off to watch red vs blue again

[@nathanfleming3392]

Who isn't

[@buckeyeman98]

What trailer were they going to show at 12:52?

[@RitZizC00l]

where can i watch the NEW RvB trailer, they apparently cut it from the video. I just want to know thats all.

[@assistantmagus5213]

That grim reaper dude was exactly like the slenderman from last year's achievement hunter panel, he probably drew inspiration from it

[@BlindMango]

Ah, the original guys. I wish there was a podcast with these guys just sitting around a table and chatting every week, sort of how Drunk Tank was before they made this whole stupid set for it and got rid of the original guys. Rooster Teeth is just so over-inflated now with too much content with too many random people with too many bad videos to sift through. I miss these guys, they all need to get together and do more content together... Maybe that's why I like Funhaus more now, they are the original guys with focused content and one channel.

[@LaunoRosso]

That is fucking hilarious when Gus just shut that guy down!

[@Doivid_]

The Grimm Reaper was so disappointing.

[@DottyDotDitto]

I still have the original trailer shown at 8:30 in on my old hard-drive from 2 computers back. Along with my downloads of the first 2 or 3 seasons and the trailer where they surely totally legitimately used 'Break Stuff' by Limp Bizket to introduce the characters...

[@byRyanStevens]

I feel bad for the two that they didn't let ask their questions. I don't think they realize how much that probably pissed off the two of them.

[@S0RGEx]

RKayEll Eh, it might be kinda like that guy Burnie couldn't take a selfie with last RTX. They didn't exactly get what they wanted, but the high jinks that ensued were way better than what they wanted. And of course, the one guy was being a douche and the other wasn't prepared with a serious question.

[@themcgamer1000]

RKayEll The astrophysicist was a cunt. The grim reaper wasn't prepared at all, and was stupid for taking up time asking questions where someone else could've gotten a chance to ask a good question.

[@byRyanStevens]

***** He wasn't a cunt, he was trying to inform them that they were wrong about something.

[@S0RGEx]

He did it in such a cunty way, though.

[@skipharris]

the audio was low so i had to turn it all the way.... then i played another video and my ears blew off....

[@jfishxx]

I have a switch in my apartment, on a far wall behind&above my TV, in my living room. When I first moved in, I flipped every light switch on&off to know what switch worked what light. When I flipped the switch behind my TV, nothing happened. No light came on, nothing. So I left it off. Weeks later, I was sitting on my couch playing a game on my 3DS, when the red light came on. So I grabbed my charger, and plugged it into one of the two outlets behind my couch. After plugging the charger into my 3DS, it didn't start charging. I tested the charger in an outlet in my dining area, it worked. That's when it hit me. I plugged the charger back into the outlet behind my couch, went across from my couch to the random switch, flipped it, and voila. Power restored to the outlet. The outlets behind my couch have their power controlled by a switch on the opposite wall, for absolutely no reason. Shit happens when people wire rooms xD

[@RetroCruze]

the one guardian's hair looks like it came straight out of the 80s

[@Madcc6492]

Every lighting round starts the same way lol

[@LoneWolfHunt2]

The BEST part of the lightning round: 55:46

[@JCalhoun2000]

Burnie has a George Lucas neck

[@TheUnknown285]

If they dressed up as the US Founding Fathers, who would be who?

[@TheUnknown285]

TheUnknown285 Joel would be Hamilton. He's interested in money and finance (Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury) and he's insane.

***** Sure, but I think that's more of a stretch than Gus saying his *name* first and last:P

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

TheUnknown285 Gus would be Jefferson. Jefferson was a dick.

[@Clipstreu]

Joel would so be Jefferson with how radical he was. "Revolution" every 20 years and such.

[@Jackbee23]

This was pleasant.

[@katisasaltymelon6838]

The trailer that they showed like 8 minutes in was made the year after I was born.

[@beewyka819]

Correction: 3 died, 2 hospitalized

[@1985Cyrus]

Joel is a Vampire, he didn't need makeup for that episode of Angel he was in.

[@apolloptx]

GEOFF ON THE PODCAST!!!!

[@ConstantlyAdging]

Not sure if its the liquor or what but I just realized Burnie and Matt are together on one side and Geoff and Gus are together on the other and Joel is just by himself in the middle.. there's even a chair in between Geoff and Joel Also this is so reminiscent of the first podcasts.. q.q I love it

[@timmaaa06]

Joel looks like a Weird Al's doppelganger, Regular Al

[@DarkRubberDucky]

The Strangerhood wasn't next to the ET game.... Nature Town was. (I loved the Sloth episode, though!)

[@DragonMaster32200]

New drinking game: Take a shot each time Joel says Fuck/fucking Die of alcohol poisoning within two minutes

[@nathanfleming3392]

They were fucking funny at the end

[@DtheMan247]

Joel reminds me of a doctor

[@nickrod32]

Damn Burnie is one of them as well if you pause at 18:15 you can see the holographic energy field around him as he moves his head

[@nickrod32]

+nickrod32 19:01 hologram malfunctions on his face.. Burnie's real face beneath the hologram must be a behemoth of a creature because his subtle energy he has appears to be snouted and elongated in width

[@goldosprey]

The Four that started it all.

[@FriendlyFire2830]

Five??

[@goldosprey]

FriendlyFire2830 Only saw four sorry

[@Enso.]

34:00 the foreshadowing of Trevor! Had no idea he was so smart

[@umamagei]

that Walkman story was fucking depressing

[@ornnui]

Wow, I feel so stupid. I never put 2 and 2 together that Rooster Teeth is a way around saying Cock Bite. Hahaha. My love for them has exponentially increased even more.

[@toolizawesome]

Papas!

[@Broekje]

Hilarious that the four fucking founders of the company that spawned RTX don't get enough microphones.

[@TehConqueror]

Broekje five*

[@Jaffaparty]

Wikipedia says Joel is 43 ^-^
