Jeremy lelacheur thank you

[@summysailar]

Jeremy lelacheur Lol I just came from a video where Jeremy and Matt just got hired

[@laenaeverwood7453]

Thank you!

[@Skenvo]

Michael's ear moves so much when he talks haha I never noticed it until the off-topic podcasts

[@maddiep1250]

I cant stop watching it now

[@DJogdog]

+Stcy Dime Do you guys actually watch the whole video? I just listen to it as I work and do other things.

[@zackfake1253]

what I've never noticed until off topic is that Michael has a fairly muscular neck, enough to the point that you can see a vein protruding from it

[@Skenvo]

zack fake maybe its from all his screaming in the past haha

[@kotanaru3893]

He's a little Micoo elf

[@BaroquerChick]

the proposal stories were so cute, they slightly thawed my icy, icy heart

[@Lordparable]

lol

[@dorotheabell9155]

Same.

[@208jdog]

it made me think about the way i will propose to my girlfriend

[@rockono4]

+Cody Tesch definitely stop the PowerPuff Girls stuff, then give it a go

[@betadrive3357]

+Ice Rox Pie Excuse me. Is there a problem with the Powerpuff Girls that I'm unaware of?

[@RipDippler]

Damn. Listening to the way Michael talks about Lindsay and how well they get along together effortlessly makes me hope there's someone out there I'll end up meeting that it can be like that with.

[@tristanyates8934]

Maybe one day

[@Kibbz10]

Timestamp?

[@Rikoshima]

this podcast made me realise gavin's the only achievement hunter who's not married/engaged

[@paragonjones13]

Not anymore...

[@rafaelhernandez3690]

5:42 sad but true

[@MysteryFaceX]

Wow, Michael's got a solid view on relationship. He's really lucky to have met someone like Lindsay.

[@MrGreenDay1987]

This title hits fucking different now

Between RT and KZbin ads for Lazer Team, I am confident to say that I can recite and describe every scene of that trailer now.

[@CubiStudios]

Popped in my sub box right as I really needed something to listen to as I do the dishes! Lovely.

[@nillabeany]

I do the same thing. It makes doing dishes relaxing.

[@theryguy113]

I use it for homework

[@Plague_Doc22]

+Cubi Studios I'm what you'd call a superior breed and I have this thing that does the dishes for me #MasterBreed

[@Lordparable]

ikr i listen to it while doing landury or playing videogames

[@CubiStudios]

Plague Doc I mean it doesn't get them 100% clean.

[@EruptionFang]

Was Ryan drunk, or high, or did his wife finally break him

[@VOLTZ1990]

Probably all three

[@PhappingCamel]

+EruptionFang Maybe he hasn't slept for a couple days...you know, kids :P

[@chriswoodend2036]

+EruptionFang It's Ryan so the first two really aren't an option.

[@codeyreumkens5307]

+EruptionFang probably all at once

[@hughjanus435]

Mix all three.

[@SomeOfTheJuice]

They need a Diet Coke tap for when Ryan's on Off Topic.

[@codycooper310]

Man, Jack's been really funny the past 6 or so months.

[@michaelmcclelland5366]

He's always been funny, you're just maturing

[@codycooper310]

+Michael Mcclelland how dare you say im mature

[@michaelmcclelland5366]

You are now

[@codycooper310]

+Michael Mcclelland Nooo!!

[@jakedavidson4265]

+Michael Mcclelland i have always liked jack but once ray left he got a lot funnier and sometimes more funny than micoo and gav. Not as funny as ryan and lil j though

[@sniperbait49]

It took me a while, but it just hit me. i really do like Jeremy and I'm happy that he's in so many videos. He has an awesome sense of humor, he makes rather hilarious faces, and he never shy's away from physical comedy which is always great. I just wanted to say i really appreciate him being in videos, and I'm excited to see him in more.

[@aprod122]

is it me or does the video have quite low audio compared to normal?

[@nateshowww5692]

+aprod122 I feel like every week is crap shoot on audio level. This week I can't listen to it on my laptop speakers because it is so low.

[@Steven-rb7ph]

+aprod122 I had to turn it way up

[@Alex-iv7uu]

+aprod122 Yesterday's OTS did too

[@RhysClark97]

+aprod122 you know you can turn that up and down right, its almost as if you are in control

[@aprod122]

Rhys Clark Interactive Media oh man really? shit i didnt know that was even a thing, glad you told me buddy...and there was me making a comment asking if the audio was quieter than regular like a shmuck

[@joshchander2228]

*sees Lil J* *screams "LILLLLLL J"*

[@SrgtBarney]

Micoo's story of being with Lindsay is amazing. i want a relationship that starts off effortlessly like that. no need for being someone else but yourself no matter how much of a loser you really are

[@nasa_peepoe2386]

"I don't wanna get shot, it might hurt a bit" well shit Michael I never would've figured

[@maryammohamed9625]

All the recommended videos are about dieting and losing weight because of the name lol

[@andrewstanwood3042]

lol same for me

[@Skenvo]

+maryam mohamed I know right LOL god damn it

[@loganmayo1431]

Not me. I'm getting Matt Stonie and Diet Coke and mentos challenges

[@abdullahim7374]

Ryan is Ryan.

[@anthonyquiles6731]

Guys, you can see it on Michael's face that he was calling out for help with his meth addiction.

[@VideoSage]

"Audience relevant activities" Best ad-read ever.

[@sicaberry111]

Love love love the proposal stories! I see people all the time talk about how mean Michael is towards Lindsay in their content, but listening to Michael talk about his proposal and the time leading up to it really shows how much he loves her. I think it's great that their relationship is so chill, but also so strong. ^^ Also did anyone else notice in the credits, "Witch in Training: Gavin Free" xD

[@natshenkin]

It's sad to think that one day all of these guys will be over 50 and retired and I'll be sitting at home with kids shouting in my ear. I just never want all of this to end....

[@4everis2morrow]

+arad21 surely a bittersweet memory at worst, with all of this archived I think it will be like playing old records. You'll be the uncool dad playing KZbin videos while your kids are into the newest technology

[@AlexC-f9u]

Hey how's life going? Lol have those kids yet?

[@MikesterMF]

Somehow, the Off Topic podcast gets better every week. Not sure exactly how, as it's not like they're putting any more effort into it than usual, as that's the charm of the podcast, but still. It's just better and better every week. It's a strange anomaly.

[@RonCorleone]

I say call the new show "Let's Watch X"

[@PotatoGuidanceMissle]

+ToastyToast77 Episode 3 will be an interesting episode

[@Frank_Ditch]

It's just going to have tits and dicks everywhere

[@chantalchandler-pease8206]

I love listening to the boys proposal stories. This is one of my favourite podcasts to go back and listen to.

[@levitator45]

awwww when micooo talked about lindsay

[@darthlime101]

Off Topic is slowly becoming my favorite show.

[@TheNinjaBees]

If each ep is around 2hrs and this is ep 12 I've watched about 24hrs of them talking.

[@YamaguchiEtsuko]

Michael talking about his relationship with Lindsey was one of the cutest thing ever on this podcast

[@halosnakem6g28]

5:43 did not age well

[@randomrobin1]

Jeremy's Boston accent was very prominent when he said frogs, made me laugh.

[@Alecazaam]

I don't think Kanye is personally in debt, I think he's in debt with his clothing company

[@GotHedley]

lol, omg the talk of the self driving cars is amazing.

[@SpoonieScully]

Kids in my middle school used to snort smarties or pretend to smoke it in class

[@snowwhite607]

You guys didn't have FADS?

[@KntckyFriedChkn]

As someone who actually lived most of his life near Boston (I lived only two towns north of Billerica) but had to move two years ago, it's really nice hearing Jeremy talking about places like Boston. And since I have some friends who lived in Billerica and having Jeremy agree that it's shitty is pretty great.

[@watchingmisskel4156]

100% with Michael. I stumble on a toad in the house it's like "cool, get on this dustpan and let's find you a bush" but a spider? fuck that

[@poppyonline4034]

Yup. Same here. Frogs and toads are awesome animals. They eat bugs and spiders too.

[@LaLloronaVT]

As an alternative; the bit about the tuna fish sandwich would be a great animated adventure too lol

[@kariotic]

Jack wearing a Sportsball shirt. RIP Sportsball. I actually enjoyed that show.

[@LIZZIEMAC2010]

Is it cancelled?

[@aaashmoreee]

It was a good show, but I wish they'd just admit it's a football show and brand it as such. There's literally 95% football, and 5% awkward forced talk about other sports, which is why it had to end when the football season ended.

[@UselessFeature]

ITS BACK BOYYYYS

[@foppishdandy8068]

I only watched Off Topic for the first time, when the episode before this one came out. I'm in love. Such a great podcast.

[@RileyRintoul]

I always forget that American smarties are sugar, (rockets in Canada). I only think of the Canadian/British/Australian/New Zealand versions of smarties.

[@gabriel_6990]

Saw Ryan and knew this would be be a wonderful, flub filled episode

[@Fwenx]

Michael: They're eight inches each! *Camera instantly zooms on Jeremy*

[@codycherrington2314]

Being from central Texas, it's kinda neat hearing them talk about towns and cities that I know of

[@Personmanisawesome]

Michael even makes ad reads comedic.

[@Derezzed4]

Literally the only good thing about Sunday is watching off topic

[@addisondavis2885]

23:15 if Ryan wants to watch a movie with lower scores than 69% on rotten tomatoes they could just watch Lazer Team, which somehow got a 55%

[@TheAutisticCowboy]

That's some bullshit! How could it be rated that low?

[@sirnightmare4881]

Stampy Knows Gaming because it wasn't good

[@elsaaskumar3109]

Weight Loss Green Store Tea really works if you follow the instructions. I didn't at first, was only taking one three times a day which isn't enough for weight loss though it works for sugar cravings. When I upped my dose to three the weight started coming off pretty steadily. I am very pleased and will continue to use this product and recommend it to my friends.

[@mileyluttermann2255]

+Elsaas Kumar I love what it does. Loosing weight has been my worry .And with weight loss green store tea product combined with my cardio workout i am moving towards my dream weight.

[@MuseofDiscord]

Man I had to crank up the audio to be able to hear them this week

[@Chibijt]

accidentally skipped the podcast forward and didn't know where I was up to but just went back and loooked at how much of michaels drink is left :p

[@jackb1768]

The only thing shorter than the number of people who saw this before me is Jeremy's height.

[@acegold2]

+Jack B aha but the sponsers already seen it ;P

It's also been posted on the website since uesterday

[@Plague_Doc22]

+Jack B HES FUCKING 5"4! DAMNIIIIT

[@charlieroot758]

...Micheal Jones stars in the all new KZbinRed film produced by RoosterTeeth "Tazer Team"?

[@hattie_burns]

Having Jack right beside him, you can really tell how small Jeremy is. I fucking love him.

[@ArcStoneR]

Is there any way to get that awesome Off Topic glass Michael is drinking from? Will it be in the store?

[@PotatoGuidanceMissle]

Right now, it's just one-of-a-kind, but maybe in the future.

with the whole space shuttle launch conversation, they should have brought Trevor in haha

[@GoodPunsArgon]

The new show should be called "Reel Talk" like a film reel.

[@justjahv4416]

When Michael proposed, he should've dropped his fork under the table, already having the ring down there, and asked Lindsay to get it. That sounds kinda cool, doesn't it?

[@TacticalSandals]

I hope Gavin gets his witching license soon. best of luck at Hogwarts bud!

[@pervasivedoubt150]

I live in the US. There are both Smarties and Sweet Tarts here. They are sorta similar, but not exactly.

[@sebasdy2364]

WTF Micoo and Jeremy?! what porns do you watch?

[@JasperConway]

Entering Australia with an E-Gate compatible passport is SO good. You just scan your passport and wait five seconds for the gate to take a photo of your face and compare it to your passport, and then the gate opens and you go straight to collecting your bags at the carousel.

+Mireya Perez For being Michael

[@herambeg7545]

Grindaarz right...

[@RedRoseAkabara84]

+Loudcakeeater Because doing any of those is completely idiotic, and turns you into an absolute moron. Drugs make you do things you would never do sober; there's a strong reason drug usage is heavily intertwined with other crime. Many people have died, killed someone else, or just generally ruined their/other's lives over or because of drugs, when they would have been fine had they never once touched them. Anyone who does them automatically loses points in my opinion, simply because it's absolutely childish and completely irresponsible.

[@sizeablealarm101]

+TrashSplash Tucker let's be honest, you both are kinda arguing about something pretty petty. He thinks the game is trash, and that's okay because that's his opinion. There is no reason to insult each other because of an opinion on a game.
