RT Podcast: Ep. 248

[@beauCM]

It's undeniable the chemistry that used to be on the podcast. Anchored by Gus and Bernie with a rotating cast of younger employees, or back in the day when it was mostly just the OG dudes. I listen back to these ones every now and then and honestly, listening to them argue about 10 year old ios updates is still entertaining. Really miss Burnie.

[@PMW3]

it's funny when it cuts to commercial when he's doing the ad read

[@lydiadiangelo2588]

Get premium you won't have that problem

[@mrbyrdman1245]

I can't say how happy I am that Gus, Gav, Barb, and Bernie are all on the same podcast for the first time in like 2 months

[@THEGMMAN47]

Middle of the advertisement from Gus and a youtube advert starts hahah

[@NinjaPups]

One of my favorite, most inspiring videos is the Game Time with Burnie and Gavin playing Halo 4 Ricochet :) but i mean, it;s been a whole YEAR of gaming videos on RT, i cannot simply just pick one. Every video is amazing :D

[@xanderjansen9446]

@27:30 to 28:15 just close your eyes and just listen for a while

[@Th3KingC]

Finally this is out! I was waiting all day after only hearing it last night. I'm pretty early to see it too :P.

[@s4n714g000]

lol Burnie at the end is like "why would you do that?"

[@NinjaPups]

Please restock the Beanies in the RT Store They are SOLD out last i checked :D thanks guys!

[@MrCowboySpaceman]

Yes I would like to purchase one as well

[@lifeiscrap103]

56:02 For Square Space's offer code, they should have made it "GavinSmeels".

[@NinjaPups]

It's impossible for me to pick a video of the year, seeing as I watch about 30-50 youtube videos a day, and i've forgotten probably 90% of them xD

[@Legos881]

You and me both, and I assume others too :D

[@NinjaPups]

***** haha :p But that being said, I've seen some good shit haha

[@Legos881]

The last fucking podcast with the office suck off discussion may have been the hardest I've ever laughed in a while XD

[@NinjaPups]

***** oh absolutely :p that video just made my entire week hahaha

[@Legos881]

The thing that was awesome was the fact that when the podcast came out on youtube (most of my friends didn't listen to podcasts on the site or iTunes) and the next day at school we were talking about pressure and boiling points in science and my friend asked my science teacher if we could try it with water and a straw and my teacher said "So you want to have a classroom suck off?" grinned and the whole room exploded. Definitely the best moment of the year irl

[@LaurenGrass]

Gus has pretty much perfected the art of translating what it is Gavin is trying to say. For movies I'd add The Conjuring.-though I agree it's not movie of the year material, but it needs a mention just like Mama. And for TV... Criminal Minds is always pretty solid. Other than that.... I'm drawing a blank.

[@LaurenGrass]

You probably did. I'm pretty much everywhere. Sorry about that. Lol

[@okmarshall]

I'm a massive Peter Kay fan and I have never noticed Gavin on that DVD. Will have to go back and find him.

[@DTQueen90]

Behind the Scenes" Good Vibrations was probably my favorite RT video of last year.

[@jordanspringer8]

what the fuck. no captain phillips? that was amazing! Tom Hanks never disappoints.

[@BaskervilleVA]

I read this in his voice.

[@TannertheJ]

"I feel like I'm my prom date right now!" that was fucking brilliant

[@brysonmesser32]

Brooooooo I was looking for someone to notice this lmao such an under rated comment 😆

[@TannertheJ]

@@brysonmesser32 i don't think i've watched a rt video in maybe five years thank you for reminding to check up on them lol

[@JefflezZz]

Holy crap. I just realised the first episode ever was released on my birthday Dec. 9th Best gift EVAR!!!

[@pm6379]

My birthday is December 10th! So close!!

[@DarkdragonDude388]

Pippa Moo Lol! Mine is December 11th! So close!

[@JefflezZz]

dont worry guys think of it as a late birthday present

[@DarkdragonDude388]

PURE EPICNESS Lol.

[@Zacjayh12]

as a prank. If I was a "life fighter", when people approached me and asked when they were going to die, I would stare for a bit like I am predicting it, hurry and check my watch while looking a little panicked, and just sprint away from them looking in different directions… I think it would be funny

[@alfd11]

The U.S. Defense Department has been using the term "Warfighter" to describe military personnel involved in combat situations since at least the late 1980's. So while it may still sound silly, it's origin far predates that of G.R.A.W. (2006)

[@jojohurdy6479]

Gavin + Barbara = best podcasts

[@W2daERN]

FYI, the director of Mama is Guillermo Del Toro, who also directed Pacific Rim. And yes, the third Wei triplet controls Crimson Typhoon's third arm.

[@doncharted]

Guillermo Del Toro didn't direct Mama. He was the executive producer. Andrés Muschietti directed Mama. He did direct Pacific Rim though! :)

[@GoredonTheDestroyer]

doncharted Pacific Rim, good movie, a little long, though.

[@doncharted]

I didn't really like it. Wasn't too much of a story in it :(

[@GoredonTheDestroyer]

And you know what? I don't hate you for it.

[@doncharted]

awwwweeee...

[@RememberPluto]

Parks and Rec is one of the best shows I've ever watched. The characters are perfect with each other and played very well.

[@AHatredOfEs]

Believe me food gifts can go wrong. I'm baking for my entire family this year for christmas and my older brother is allergic to milk, eggs, some types of flour, and most fruits.

[@fadingjedi]

I love the part of Man of Steel where Superman hits Zod in midair and then catches up to him and hits him again. It's right out of comics. I was so excited when I saw that.

[@jordanspringer8]

yes! make a graw podcast let's play!..or any podcast let's play!

[@swilsey89]

Probably one of my favourite Roosterteeth videos of this year is the Burnie and Gus bobble head video

[@perplacymp]

There's a Danish adventure comedy known in English as "At Worlds End".

[@PadfootTheWolf]

Best RT video of 2013: All of them

[@DownWithTheHerman]

Anyone watch Arrow? It's on CW, in its 2nd season and it's pretty fantastic

[@MrGearwolf]

at least there are others who think it should have been nominated aswell

[@JakeyMikeySmithey]

YES!! This is my favorite 5 people to have on the podcast!

[@guns102]

GavinRocks :P

[@flyingrasengan7900]

"Sure, why not. You can be a Life-fighter." I almost died!

[@epr8974]

I really don't want to sound like a dick (that's why I'm posting it here instead of in the video's comment section), but the video of the guy seeing his wife after surgery seems a bit strange to me. Maybe the internet has spoiled me, but my through process went like this: ° Watching the video: Awww! That's just so heart warming. ° Reading the description: Oh... Those guys seem to put a lot of effort into getting support to adopt a child. ... A child... Wait a second! ° Re watching the video: "'Do we have children together?' - 'Not yet.'" Summary: We have a a couple who apparently can't get children. However, they have trouble adopting children, because it is really expensive. We also have a anaesthesia themed video; THE theme for videos if you want them to go viral and you don't have a cat or puppy available. The description of this video has a link to the family's fundraiser for their adoption efforts and the topic just so happens to be hinted at in the video at one point. Now, I have done my research and apparently the amount they are asking for adds up nicely for adopting two children from Uganda. I am also in no position to question their desire to adopt a child. So all I am doing here is being an arsehole and question the authenticity of the video. Phew! Glad I got this out of my system. Moving on.

[@NatethanialG]

***** Obviously a lizard man.

[@xXDarkAssassin96Xx]

omg "are you the food cook guy?" that was the funniest shit XD

[@vteckpwr]

December 2019. The decade is almost over and I'm here with you back catalogue watchers 👍

[@redbaron7538]

Here in 2021

[@TheWowso]

Gus is on point with the camera discussion!

[@JJWalrus]

no arrow for tv series?!

[@Barret_S]

i was thinking the same thing

[@Ravetastic_]

My experience with Arrow was that it was amazingly mediocre.

[@JJWalrus]

Sensual Bidoof the first season yes, but the second season was amazing

[@Ravetastic_]

Walrus hmm maybe I'll give it a second look then. I think I watched till episode 7 of the first season before I gave up on it.

[@qwertyblitz]

Best internet series: RT podcast!

[@iluvbbqtacos]

I know everyone probably wishes they could talk with them on the podcast. But, I have honestly never wanted to talk to them during the podcast more than this one. They talked about the brain so much, and I just had so much input but no way of getting it to them. Why can't you hear me through my computer screen!?!

[@kelerews]

We should discuss on the comment section. I know we would be called stupid, but it might be worth it.

[@JoelTaker]

***** the brain is actually a really amazing thing .. it can pull out memories from like 10 years ago in no time. i dont know how that works

[@kelerews]

Usually when something is out of place that day. At least that's what happens to me. For instance, I can remember clearly when I sharted in preschool.

[@iluvbbqtacos]

Memory isn't a localized function. We do know that the hippocampus plays a major role in long-term memory (LTM) formation. However, a researcher studying memory discovered that it wasn't important where he lesioned a brain, but rather how much he lesioned. While this isn't 100% accurate, it's a pretty nice statement. We do realize now of course that certain areas play a bigger role in memory, and that there are different types fo memory, but memory as a whole is spread throughout the brain. A common misconception is that memories are just formed and waiting to be recalled, but that's not how it works. Every time you recall something you are rebuilding the memory from what you still remember. After you have recalled it, the memory then deconstructs itself again. It's why you might tell 3 different versions of the same story. You might not necessarily be lying, but you have recalled the memory 3 different times and each time either includes or excludes bits during reconstruction. Ahh, that feels good :)

[@TheCoreyhlltt]

I love this line-up for the podcast, but I really miss Geoff and Griffon being in it

[@jacklongs7704]

best podcast crew - Gavin Gus Burnie and Barbara

[@DarthDave573]

About the dreams, if you want to remember them better and have also more dreams, start writing a dream journal. It worked very well for me.

[@sirrodney61]

I don't understand not liking 48fps. What is wrong with everything looking smooth?

[@goatygoat1]

No motion blur, for one. It's unnatural for every action to be so smooth and I've even heard people complain about motion sickness when watching 48fps. Then again, some people love it so it's really all up to your preference.

[@Dial1800Harbinger]

What the fuck is a 48 first person shooter!?

[@Dial1800Harbinger]

***** Oh yeah? Well.... Your face has a bajillion fps! Yeah. Why don't you think about that and spin?

[@Someguy029]

*Just trying to think of shows that deserve nominations judging from the quality of their seasons this year alone from respected critics and viewer reception, factoring in number of viewers as well:* Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, The Blacklist, South Park, Justified, Suits, Sherlock, Arrested Development, Archer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Top Gear (BBC), Doctor Who, The Office, Sons of Anarchy, Mad Men, Modern Family, Community, Louie, The Colbert Report, Homeland, Supernatural, Orange Is the New Black, Vikings, Almost Human, and American Horror Story. *As for Movies of the year and factoring in audience, viewer reception, as well as critic reception:* Catching Fire, Frozen, Out of the Furnace, Inside Llewyn Davis, The Hobbit Pt 2, American Hustle, Her, Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Wolf of Wall Street, Dallas Buyers Club, All is Lost, 12 Years a Slave, Captain Phillips, Gravity, Prisoners, Blue Caprice, The World's End, Star Trek: Into Darkness, and Mud. And in no particular order. I find it funny how many of this years hit dramatic films were bogged down in poor reviews from viewers while many of the Super Hero films did not. Movies like Mud that scored 90+ from avid film goers and professional reviewers and critics dropped down to around 75 when the casual movie goer hit the theater, while movies like Iron Man 3, which is almost collectively considered to be a rather 'meh' movie from both critics and movie goers alike retains an 85.

[@blacktigers98]

I'll be honest. I clicked this particular episode because of the thumbnail. 😂

[@BrianCole]

that was the most suspenseful part of any podcast ever

[@carmadflynn]

big bang theory is awesome

[@Mushnp]

No it really isn't

[@SMOF1999]

Groan

[@Mrgamer7281]

LOL Bernie is like WHAT! about the guy jumping off the roof he came in a bit late and is reaction was hilarious

[@Linguo_Alive]

Arrow has been getting pretty good. Not quite "Breaking Bad/Game of Thrones" level, but I'd put it on my personal list before Agents of Shield.

[@JannieJubilee]

Agree, Arrow should get an honorable mention.

[@jkramaster]

The long and short of what's happening with the cat is that there is an area of the brain that processes visual input called the occipital lobe (may be different in cats, not my field) and each part of that area represents a specific point of your visual field. They are *basically* recording the activity from those points and then using that to compile the video. The fuzziness in the video comes from a lack of recording resolution that should improve with technology. I'm on my phone now so I can't find it but I think a while back they replicated this with people in some capacity.

[@myxxnamexxis13]

Sorry, one of th last conversation bothered me a bit. Evolution isn't about getting the best traits, it's about keeping the traits that helped a species survive during a specific period of time in a specific environment. Also, it's all random, so even if there could have been a more efficient trait at the time, the likelihood of getting the right genetic mutation to get that trait is incredibly high. It's not like everything is planed out, everything is based on chance and proficiency.

[@Crashomer115]

wouldnt the "best traits" for a species be the ones that help it survive

[@myxxnamexxis13]

No. I'm talking about the best possible trait vs the best trait for this environment at this time. Say there is a frog that lives in a jungle and has many predators on the ground, but not in high places. So, the "best trait" may be for it to have flight. It doesn't mean that's what they'll get. They might just get the ability to jump really high, or the ability to climb really well. So they are keeping the "best trait" that they randomly got. Evolution isn't planned out, it just happens. It's luck or the draw and survivor of the fittest. So that's why people don't have the ability to fly or to see ultra violet light. These are traits that never randomly occurred in our DNA mutations, or if they did, they weren't helpful during the time period they did occur. This is a little hard to explain through the messaging system of youtube comments, but I hope I cleared myself up.

[@SirMonkeySuit]

Oh come on, don't be one of these guys. Why should it bother you, it's a podcast conversation. They don't bring these topics up to intentionally "annoy" and/or "offend" people. Gavin was right in that the animal kingdom, the females go for the alpha male.

[@myxxnamexxis13]

SirMonkeySuit Okay Gavin said one thing right - one thing that doesn't relate to the thing I was mentioning. The thing that bothers me is Burnie was leading the conversation, and usually Burnie and Gus are the guys with the facts. Since Burnie was wrong and no one was saying anything to correct him I was annoyed.

[@Dial1800Harbinger]

That's not how evolution works. Evolution happens usually when gain enough xp to level up to a certain level. Though sometimes it requires a stone of some kind. :P

[@archilbartia1847]

Yeah, Gavin is correct. In the UK the have been showing friends on this channel called E4, up until couple of months ago. Now they show it on Comedy Central. Also Friends was by far, THE best comedy TV show I've watched. I'm sure a lot of you can agree with me on this.

[@DoodlesByAdzie]

BBC Sherlock is tippy top :D But yeah the long wait really sucks ugh.

[@Dat0ldschoolkid]

it is hilarious on how barbara-pun drinks the whole bottle of champagne lol

When Barbara talked about the two Adams fighting, I thought she was about to inform me of the greatest molecular phenomenon I never knew about.

[@hardcoreLazors]

Hobbit 2 was probably the best movie I've seen in a long time. Gravity was good maybe a 7.5/10. Man of steel was so badass loved it

[@Middlefingestudios1]

same here bro :)

[@okmarshall]

Hobbit 2 one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. Such a massive disappointment.

[@mackdizzle1080]

I thought man of steel was a disappointment to me...idk why

[@8BITeyes]

Oliver Marshall um how? I don't understand how anyone can say that the hobbit was a disappointment

[@okmarshall]

Reviews said it was better than the first. To me there were loads of plot holes, the story seemed very disjointed and it just wasn't that enjoyable. The barrel sequence was amazing but the rest was average at best.

I read the "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" in my freshman year of high school. The Cask of Amontillado was another notable short story I read that year.

[@CasuallyFilthy.]

Big Bang Theory is absolutely horrible and I completely agree with Gavin

[@gtaclevelandcity]

How? I thought it was funny as shit. Maybe it's because I'm an engineer so I understand all the jokes they do about them.

[@SuperCartographer]

I think it is far from the worst show on television lately. It isn't my favorite, but it isn't that bad.

[@gtaclevelandcity]

Redrias Yeah, Duck Dynasty and Honey Boo Boo round out the worst.

[@MrOasis316]

[@halomasterr117]

not to actually shit on the movie, because im sure it was an enjoyable movie, but i feel like the movie was incredibly forgettable. No one i know spoke about or was hyped about it so it'd make sense that they didn't mention it.

[@At0mix]

halomasterr117 I liked the movie overall, I loved the first half but after that things just got a little bit too crazy and unrealistic for my taste

[@halo4andmw3]

Atomickx and they fucked up with the whole samuri sword thing were you have to use 2 hands to heat it up the robot used one and it heated up

[@alexpin2426]

the wolverine was pretty medicore, entertaining but nothing amazing.

I also recommend The Blacklist. I thought this first half season was very good, idk if any of you have seen it
