Off Topic: Ep. 24 - The Branding

[@freedfg6694]

Geoff is being bullied by a 10 year old. That he spawned.

[@manakinnight]

+Freedfg I love how you phrased of how he "spawned" Millie, instead of helping conceive her.

[@numberrocker]

+Dylan Eastin hahaha

[@SorakuFett]

Not just bullied, but bullied effectively. It's one thing to say someone's "the worst," but it hurts more to say, in all seriousness, "I KNOW you're not the best."

[@augernaut4923]

Spawned, in the meaning that Millie is demonspawn.

[@henry1357924680]

He wont know what hit him when she's a teenager

[@PicPaN12]

Should have just gotten Griffin to carve it into the table

[@ICHMUSSMALPIPI]

*Griffon

[@TheZigzagman]

+Azyef No he meant hire a Griffin to do it.

[@pregunton1000]

i've always wondered if griffon is her actual legal name or it's griffin and griffon is how she chose to be called

[@michaelp9356]

+Kevin Pearse with a chainsaw, live. I'd totally watch the hell out of that.

[@lukegriffin2046]

+The Zigzagman you called?

[@Porterhaus94]

Milly when she starts dating in a few years is going to be terrifying, I bet. Geoff will go gray.

[@belainegibsson.2082]

Nah, his liver will fail before that happens.

[@motivationmike4722]

​@@belainegibsson.2082Man, you still a duckhead 7 years later scumbag?

You're doing the lords work son. 👍🏽

[@dwcramer92]

Episode #20 was my favorite, it's perfect.

[@davidisraelson7941]

i love when Geoff isn't drunk, he seems so happy

[@harrycowley6786]

+david Israelson really? seems more depressed to me

[@rparker069]

+david Israelson well clearly he drinks because of millie

[@LewisJ]

That set replica is so bloody impressive!

[@alysondesylva]

Fucking wish my dad was Geoff

[@yodasgirl4280]

same

[@manwithzecan3820]

I wish my dad was Roy from Challenge Finders ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@monkeyplayer1344]

Marcus probably went home and cried himself to sleep

[@robertosilo4635]

When Geoff said he had a drone story I thought he was going to start with "I was driving and a drone came out of nowhere".

[@mattagroth215]

And then after the drone there was a random deer!

[@SIGBizzle]

This cold has been making it hard for me to sleep for months now. Luckily, rewatching these podcasts has helped me with that. I'm not implying that they're boring, they just establish a calm and cheerful tone for me to sleep to. Thanks, guys! 👍🏻

[@TimNelstonIII]

Geoff, I used to say things like that when I was younger, but I didn't fully understand the impact that they had on others. I don't think that it's through any direct fault of your own, but just know that you've helped a lot of us in the community to laugh and smile and escape depression, and you're like a father to all of us.

[@edwynmendoza962]

the next 8 years of Off Topic for Geoff is gonna be snarky dad stories

[@kevinhill9136]

Store idea: Wood coasters with the brand in

[@theletter-h5978]

similarly - chopping boards.

[@PicoRiveraCalifornia]

Shoutout to Michael's t-shirt. Crests of Courage, Friendship, Love, Knowledge, Sincerity, Reliability, Light, Hope, Kindness and Miracles. Digmon FTW!!

[@hiddenscorpiusXI]

+Lone Wolf Rider I want that shirt ;^;

[@TALBovey]

+Lone Wolf Rider Yea i thought that was awesome.

[@funnyName96]

I was so happy when I saw that!

[@DarthThel]

+Lone Wolf Rider It has them all but one, Destiny.

[@bernardoperez953]

+Lone Wolf Rider someone knows where I can find one

[@15DEAN1995]

the geoff story about millie went from being funny to being depressing and i feel bad now

[@needamuffin]

Not a movie, but The Big Shot did a great job in the episode of Psych he was in. He was one of six wrestlers to appear in that show with John Cena being Jules' semi estranged secret agent brother.

[@baconslayercm7033]

+needamuffin da da da da!!! Da da da da!!! JOHN CENA!!!!!

[@4everis2morrow]

Really, I couldn't see him...

[@sens4484]

needamuffin Finally someone knows Psych!

[@Dave-bc2ow]

The moment were Geoff talks about Millie is around 48:00

[@oldgregg2459]

Dawning Death your my new best friend

[@thisisaformality]

thank you

[@sadesemolu]

Alright, alright. Let me just clear up some dreadlocks myths real quick. First of all, you can wash your hair. You actually have to bc the itching is so insufferable just like any other type of hair. Usually once a week. Second you don't need to buy a dreadlocks approve shampoo, just find a decent one that doesn't have ingredients that leave precipitates. Third, it is possible to undo dreads its just takes a REALLY long time. Most people just cut it BC its easier and are probably tired of having a head full of hair for so many year. Lastly, its very convenient to have dreadlocks. No need to comb or cut your hair. Wash once a week and re-twist every 4 to 6 weeks. And if you re-twist them yourself you save a lot of money in the long run. Okay I'm done with my rant. Just felt the need to debunk those myths. Great episode of OffTopic tho.

[@Reformedjungleman]

+MrLittleSam So I know this might be strange but isn't it a bit early to speculate about the Deadlock Gang in Overwatch. I will hand it to you though, you really do seem to know a bit about The Deadlock Gang. btw You typed deadlock not dreadlocks

[@sadesemolu]

LOL, I didn't even notice. The momentary rage blinded me. Thx.

[@Reformedjungleman]

MrLittleSam Cheers, I had fun with it at least. Anyone reading it would have automatically figured out what you were saying. :)

[@sadesemolu]

***** I edited it.

[@syrupbender]

I was just about to come down here and make a comment on this. I'm glad someone is knowledgeable. But to add; as far as to how you acquire dreadlocks, people seem to think they can only get them by just not washing their hair (which is possible but gross) but you can also MAKE your hair into dreadlocks by the crochet method, getting them professionally done, or the twist and tear method

[@ERRM]

I call bullshit on Gavin actually cleaning up his own mess during the intro.

[@Piratugaable]

+ERRM You are absolutely right!!!

[@Rebumai]

+ERRM Michael does the cleaning up after Gavin both virtually and physically.

[@gasbolina]

"I started off wearing [first watch you ordered], but now I've chosen [new watch description]" I love Michael and I love it when this kind of thing happens

[@hockeyplaya0021]

To be fair Millie does have a point about not wanting to tell Geoff things. She is getting to an age where her and her friends are able to actively watch content with her dad and Geoff does have a knack for spilling very personal stories so I can understand where she is coming from. She is also getting at that age where she will be difficult just for the sake of being difficult so she may be becoming bitter about Geoffs online role.

[@gaffegus5084]

Also she's female so naturally she'd feel like it's easier to tell her mother things

[@alldayagain]

She seems to have always kinda resented his online life Like when she was having career day and Geoff was like "Well... My job is working on the internet." and she said "And?"

[@TheSeanSpillane]

Guys. Make that brand a fucking shirt. I need it.

[@EthanKWaters]

I feel like it would be far more appropriate to have Ryan present in the episode where they brand something.

[@churufu]

"What do you want me to say, I'm on the fence." LMAO! This was one of their best podcasts yet.

[@BreonNagy]

I love this podcast. A couple of technical notes... The audio seems a bit low. I was listening to the audio podcast on my phone and had to crank it all the way up. Thought it was just my phone. Now I'm finishing it by watching the video and the audio is still low, compared to other videos I've watched today. Lastly, is there any way you can distribute this podcast through the new Google Play Music podcast system? There are other RT podcasts on that platform. Cheers

[@jordanstevenson7074]

the audio is very low I agree

[@MajesticMalice]

+Breon Nagy have complained of this for YEARS. The audio is always tens of decibels lower than anything else I watch or listen to

[@joeyc5879]

+Breon Nagy Okay, thank god I thought I was going crazy. Normally my audio on my pc is set to 32, and that is typically the highest I go, unless I'm playing music while cleaning another room or something similar. I have it set to 72 currently, and still having moments where I have to turn it up.

[@Kncld]

they have 1 mic and its hanging above them by about 5 feet and its fucking annoying. cant hear talking but you can sure as shit hear every time they hit the fucking table

[@MajesticMalice]

Its the regular RT podcast too. All RT content for me I feel like

[@dvt1393]

Geoff is pretty much Bender from Futurama. When he's NOT drinking is when you know that shit is really bad.

[@MHz619]

The older I get the more I love geoff

[@olliemcclintock6271]

Corn hole is big in Kentucky too! We have lots of local shops that just build the boards!

[@IronBridge1781]

25:01 Is when the branding stuff starts.

[@blacktigers98]

it's so cool that the day 5 trailer came out just days before I listened to one of the first livestreamed podcasts where they mentioned shooting it. I literally had no idea what they meant, but now that I realized that, I'm so excited. It's so cool to see how things change over time

[@ImmaKai1]

Holy shit I can just feel Geoff physically wasting away just talking about Millie haha

[@stefankrieger244]

I love watching/listening to these podcasts so much better than the other ones.

[@zgillet]

Cornhole - or Bags as we call it - is huge in the midwest.

[@lastlevelboss3695]

pretty big in North Carolina

[@Sw4y]

They could just sand down the logo. The burn is deep enough to where they can get rid of the shit around it while keeping the logo underneath. Then just re-finish it with varnish

[@Gennousake]

+Sw4y Well the logo can spin around might be fun to add honestly. Yeah they could save it but seems got better idea with accident.

[@SZRLM]

So I just moved in with a new roommate and he hears me watching this and calls out that it's AH solely because of Geoff's voice and he hasn't watched AH in years.

[@Rascythe]

Marcus seems like a cool guy. He also looks like Chris from Until Dawn.

[@canidsong]

Just knock the excess char off the table with a sand blaster, it's fine.

[@MoneyGrillz]

"What do you want me to say? I'm on the fence!" 😂😂😂

[@MaxisRichtofen]

had to turn my volume way up for this one, just a heads up audio engineers

[@Steven-rb7ph]

+EdwardRichtofen almost every week

[@DigitalSalt]

+EdwardRichtofen Mine was maxed and it was quiet :/

[@mattypenta]

+Steven The RT Podcast tends to be quiet as fuck, too. I don't know if shows like The Patch also have this issue since I don't watch them, but it makes me wonder what is going on with their setup and why nothing is done about it.

[@becky8516]

+EdwardRichtofen video podcast audio is low for me, but then the audio podcast (for rt podcast as well) is loud enough

[@LinkHimora]

+EdwardRichtofen Was fine for me

[@olookitsrosa]

Geoff is so adorable with how when he talks and tells stories he taps his fingers on the table

[@JustinB6699]

47:40 I get what they're saying. It happens to me recently when playing Sunset Overdrive. I just turn the controller off and then turn it on again and it works fine. Doubt anyone of them will get this, let alone it works with every app or game, but hey, thats my solution.

[@animeislyrics6621]

My favorite part is when they mention bill nye and Jeremy quietly goes "the science guy" and then keeps quietly saying, bill bill bill

[@StFido]

The actual branding starts at 25:15 if anyone wants to skip to that.

[@daSoup]

"I like the shape of Daniel Radcliffe's head in the early ones" - Gavin Free

[@trequor]

I want the Harry Potter books as retitled by Gavin... fucking 1. And the Mingy Rock 2. The One with the Bog. 3. Those Hooded Pricks 4. ??? 5. That Ugly Old Bird 6. I Think Dumbledore Dies 7. Lumpy the Wand and Other Useless Crap

[@jeremy_duck]

Off topic is so...so off topic and unprofessional, I LOVE IT.

[@MidnightMilkMan]

Love michael's digimon shirt

[@MissingOne123]

was linked to this old vid on reddit and holy shit you dont realize how much theyve all changed over the course of 3 years. i vividly remember watching this video when it was published and it seriously doesnt feel like that long ago, but looking at how much theyve all changed is wild.

[@OnlySunlightShinning]

Man, Geoff, you just need to like, take your daughter out to ice cream or something and have a real heart-to-heart.

[@imaconfidntnoob]

+OnlySunlightShinning Yea, like she didnt do anything bad but she should know why what she said hurt his feelings. Her logic is interesting and very developed. Shes 10 and we all said stupid crap at that age. She'll come around.

[@Zeresrail]

I love the Gavin credits jokes. NOt once have they failed to make me laugh. Its a nice touch.

[@thecranygamer]

so what episode of theatre mode is lazer team gonna be

[@ItsMartinez141]

That'll be their series finale

[@RepresentWV]

Really love gavin talking about yelling at dan and then dan getting defensive and then acting all nice and friendly with each other on camera. It's easy to get disillusioned that everyone else's life is so much more perfect than your own when you only see the good parts.

[@ПавлеПеразић]

that digimon shirt

[@WNTRBRNR]

+Pavle Perazic Came to find this, wasn't disappointed.

[@ПавлеПеразић]

Isaac Zacharias Arcturian :)

[@gingerchic8711]

Where? Where did he find it? I want it now.

[@elliotcasson3027]

At 40:00 Geoff seems like a depressed guy at a bar, the way he puts his hand on his face and talks about his problems with Griffon lol

[@Ashar121]

Young Ned Stark looks like Neil Patrick Harris.

[@stephaniephilo3259]

god bless these podcasts for making the hours of homework i've procrastinated in doing bearable

[@matthewmjs4331]

I honestly thought Geoff's drone story was gonna be about how a drone landed in front of his car and ran it over.

[@Adrian40799]

Best comment 10/10

[@maxpishny9070]

you just won the award for best comment if 2016. thank you sir

[@masterchef3033]

Yeah and than he accidentally hit a 2nd drone trying to finish off the 1st.

[@PolakInAKilt]

Props to Geoff's accurate Black Flag ranking of vocalists (apart from Mike Vallely). Keith Morris is the man. Just when I thought I couldn't love Geoff more, he mentions my boy Henry on a podcast. Keep it up, son.

[@grantkarren3472]

Feel bad for Michael. I went to the universal Harry Potter thing in Orlando like three months after it came out and it was like a five hour line

[@The8thblock]

+Grant Karren I'm sure they got those front of the line passes, or equivalent since it was their anniversary

[@Phantom-wu9su]

Back when Tranformers: the ride at Universal Studios (Here in LA)was either a big deal, or it was new it took forever to get to the ride... Like half the building was dedicated to a line.

[@cosmicalian]

Geoff's existential crisis was the best moment of the podcast so far.

[@ColinTheGamerReal]

Holy shit, people need to stop saying Aunt May is too young, THE ACTRESS IS 51! Just because she's attractive doesn't mean she's not old enough to play an aunt.

[@kegbomb2283]

Colin The Gamer Not gonna lie I didn't believe you when you said she was 52 and looked it up and holy shit, the hell is she eating? she looks 30!

[@ColinTheGamerReal]

Engine O Wolf it is shocking to learn haha

[@davidhubbard9974]

How cool would it be if AH opened up an actual bar that they recorded all their Let's Plays and stuff from, hung out with fans, and recorded the podcast every weekend in front of an audience? I'll answer that question, it would be awesome.

[@icantranch9398]

it would be uncontrollable

[@Dangerwiggles]

+David Hubbard The office would definitely be better if they had an actual bar the employees could drift in and out of.

[@icantranch9398]

Having it open to the rest of RT would be cool as they could just get a drink and maybe talk for a bit, but fans could be assholes and scream over the podcast

[@matthewbarrett8479]

oh my god dont make a lazy suzan i have literally made you guys a lazy suzan with the off topic logo in it and have sent it to you. i mean your not going to read this so what does it matter

[@firstlast6397]

dude tweet them

[@BoHimn]

Dude, they're like internet superstars now xD.your petty gifts are beneath them.

[@ryangreen3382]

Except they're not, considering they show cased one of them almost immediately in the podcast

[@WilliamHasMelted]

"Let's make this lazy Susan a CRAZY susan!"

[@milkworms7839]

+BoHimn clearly you missed the beginning of the podcast where they showed the diorama

[@QueenOfFandoms]

That moment with the mini-set absolutely floored me... I have an odd sense of humour XD

[@420timkelly]

RIP table

[@Bysentenial]

I like Michael's shirt. Just rewatched Digimans recently.

[@danielbray5499]

Happy St Totteringhams day everyone oh how it never disapoints

[@iTzShots]

+Daniel B COME ON YOU GUNNERS

[@jajjahshwwguqjq6099]

5-1 never forget

[@aprod122]

+Daniel B can't lie as a liverpool fan a part of me wanted spurs to win the league but that didn't happen so next was for spurs to finish ahead of arsenal just so i could laugh at my mates..neither happened and its slightly disappointing seeing the smugness of arsenal fans

[@danielbray5499]

I don't know if i would call it smugness but I had accepted they would finish above us atleast a month ago and they screw it up in the most spursy way possible last night I was laughing my head off during the games

[@grandwizardautismo]

As soon as the brand touched the table, my fire alarm went off in my house.

[@tychoazrephet3794]

I feel kind've bad laughing at depressed Geoff, but it's just so funny in a pathetic way. Imagining his ten year old daughter, with no trace of sarcasm or petulance, telling him he's not the best dad is hilarious. Its something out of a bleak comedy, hopefully Millie comes around to loving Geoff more in the future.

[@ceast5273]

If I were to tell Jeremy 3 years ago he'd be an Achievement Hunter comforting Geoff having difficulties with his daughter on an Achievement Hunter Podcast, I'd probably be put in a 2013 Psych Ward.

[@Osirislynch]

Jesus Christ Geoff I wanna buy a plane ticket, fly out to Austin, and just hug you. Millie is awesomely brutal!

[@TheSnazzyX3]

Never thought I'd hear AH talk about Bluecifer

[@atublackrose890]

Well I'm sure they won't read this, but someone needs to let them know to fix the Netflix buttons problem. It's simple just turn off the controller and turn it back on.

[@TJTroubleMaker]

Cornhole is definitely a thing in Georgia, I mean maybe not a Atlanta thing but near the coast, restaurants sometimes have it outside to play as you wait.

[@danielfisher5262]

Cornhole is huge in Virginia.

[@burns0100]

They honestly need a camera angle from above them now so we can see the table and all of them sitting around it. Thats the only thing stopping this from being the perfect podcast for Achievement Hunter.

[@darcymahon1006]

They have a mic hanging there so I don't think that they can get an above shot

[@burns0100]

Darcy Mahon Would be cool if they could but yer i knew about the Mic.

[@loporina]

Jeremy. Andre the Giant was fucking awesome in Princess Bride.

[@yanderoro3721]

+loporina Oh hey, someone I can tolerate

[@loporina]

That makes one of us.

[@yanderoro3721]

loporina So, me being the idiot that I am, which way do you mean that?

[@loporina]

+Roro I can't tolerate myself, sometimes.

[@SeanTFlynn]

Jeremy during the movie conversation was great

[@AngryMongo]

My daughter is the same way as Millie. I feel for ya, Geoff.

[@ryangreen3382]

So now we're poised with a highlander scenario, which one of you is the better father...there can be only one

[@AngryMongo]

The gathering a la Versus.

[@scotth8083]

Geoff has the best Dad reaction to the branding of the table. " No, it looks great"

[@AplusGamer3]

Best Dad in the world is Ryan

[@jonathanelliott3906]

CornHole (Bean Bag Toss) is really big in the midwest (Minnesota/Wisconsin)

[@CNep99]

Ugh Geoff :( I hate depressing dad stuff

[@Benfamir]

When, time stamp it plux

[@MrBombastic799]

+CNep99 To be fair he did kind of prove her second sass moment right when he told the ENTIRE Off-topic audience about that moment.

[@CNep99]

MrBombastic799 It still makes me feel like I'm watching a Steve Carrell movie

[@MrBombastic799]

CNep99 True, I felt really bad for him either way.

[@imaconfidntnoob]

+CNep99 Well... We all said stupid shit when we were kids. Shes at that age where shes still learning to say some things in ways where its not weird. We all make those mistakes now and then still.

[@brettyarnall8322]

Jeremy's unnoticed Bill Nye reference is the greatest part to the episode

[@CroyWiggin]

is it just me or is the audio really low?

[@jasunhayhurst6975]

amazing that he got all the crests...mad respect

[@Darren.G]

Hey AH technical crew, turn the f**cking volume up next time.....this is consistently one of the lower volumed podcasts.......still love y'all though.

[@Chuzado_117]

hey Darren g... buy a better phone/laptop because my video volume is perfectly fine at half

[@jbea035]

+20BulletProof10 That's kinda missing the point. Ads are WAY louder than the content. This is different to every other KZbin video I've watched in the past week.

[@Chuzado_117]

Well idk my volume was fine I didnt need to turn it up I was at half volume the whole time

[@Darren.G]

20BulletProof10 you want a fucking cookie kid? Read the comments...I wasnt the only person with issues.....in case you didn't read either: "every other podcast is loud...any other content is loud, just the OT is low volume" Soooo how does the device have anything to do with it?

[@TravelwithIvan]

Totally agreed, volume is significantly low compared to the other videos on AH.

[@lilyk.186]

I had no idea that Michael was such a Harry Potter nerd! I love it.

[@jackwatson3649]

Hey Millie what did you do on your vacation? My dad took us to Australia Oh wow what a great dad!! Nah I don't know I'm kinda on the fence about him

[@robynhood3983]

"Ron Weasley Gavin Free" is probably the best title yet

[@codingkriggsofficial]

Wait, when did Gavin start encroaching on Ryan's turf? Looked like Meg and Gavin had something going there.

[@Echelon130]

+codingkriggs I mean they are dating. Unless you mean something else.

[@codingkriggsofficial]

Playing on the Meg/Ryan meme.

[@Echelon130]

Figured but felt compelled to find clarity xD

[@General_Pinkledink]

the funny thing about that demon horse at the denver airport is that the guy who made it died after he got crushed to death by it

[@zachflores600]

Geoff and griffin joke about divorce it's fine; millie says she can't trust him and he looks like hes about a drink away from death

[@isabelleq4697]

knew this was going to be a good one as soon as Geoff and Michael referenced Sum 41

[@EvanHinton]

I see that digimon shirt Michael.

[@leviathan2826]

+Evan Hinton I thought those symbols seemed familiar.

[@TheThinGiant]

first thing i noticed

[@KingJae55]

Geoffs face when he saw the brand made me laugh super hard. Hahahaha!

[@snipingwooton]

I still don't think Ray really left...

[@ProductionsShadowolf]

1:30:55 Jeremy isn't joking about the 115 degree weather in LA, you aren't gonna want to go outside at all during the day, not even at night because it can sometimes be muggy and humid and it's just really uncomfortable. LA is still pretty fun though, watch out for rush hour traffic.

[@NotMac]

They should pick the shitty films JonTron made videos about like "A Talking Cat?!" and "Skateboard Kid"

[@ghostmiyu]

Birdemic lol

[@gettingstranger]

It's funny when Gavin was talking about when dad's who've had beards for most of their kids life would one day shave it and it freaked the kid out. That happened to me this past Christmas. My dad came to pick me up, and his face was clean shaven. I'm 23. I've never seen my father without some sort of facial hair. I thought it was my grandfather and I was confused as to when he'd gotten so tall and why he was here instead of my dad.
