RT Podcast: Ep. 266

[@heresgeorgey3668]

"My cousin has no nose" "How does he smell?" "Terrible" Ahahahaha

[@MyMultiColour]

This group is always so funny. Favorite Podcast group.

[@platinumsoul1163]

They are also my favorite

[@Silverwolf1700]

Same

[@rachelk3887]

Agree. This combination is hands down my personal favorite and also the best.

[@MrKennyCakemouth]

I Listen to a lot of Podcasts but The Roosterteeth Podcast will always be my favourite

[@thundercookie1014]

5 years later and I still love this podcast episode

[@user-vj3rg2jo9b]

Gus, Gavin, Michael, Burnie, and Gus was the best combo

[@GhostARMYY7]

9 years later and I still love this podcast episode

[@JeremyGViking]

This is my personal favorite line up.... I like them all but this is the best.

[@sjc4091]

Throw Barb in the middle of Gavin & Michael and it would the THE PERFECT PODCAST

[@Na0hify]

Michael should join the standard podcast team, with Gavin, Barbara, Gus and Burnie. Always funny :)

[@TheScinja]

Gavin's face when he discovered that people get out of the water to avoid being tagged in Marco Polo is priceless!

[@imprint5238]

Everyone seems so full of energy in this podcast. I'm going to enjoy this.

[@elliottfirth6790]

The rain was actually really calming

[@maikai196]

Jon should be on the podcast as an actual person on the card, he helped make this podcast so much funnier.

[@TestTubeGirl]

Sometimes I get frustrated watching these videos because some things that Gavin says really makes sense and has a thought process behind them but they just turn it into a way to make fun of him. I mean sure sometimes it's just straight up funny but sometimes he actually says things that's really interesting to discuss.

[@justsrandom]

I'm English so I understand exactly what Gavin's "Phrases" mean

[@xxAVENGEDSE7ENFOLDxx]

ShadowZeal So does everybody else, but it's still frustrating when they just act like they're better than him.

[@TestTubeGirl]

I'm sure most of us understand what he's saying. When he said there's more senses than the normal 6 that you usually think about. I remember it being around 19 or more and can tell Gavin is the type of person that gets really interested in strange and uncommon facts. First they go and try to put him on the spot as wrong saying there's more than 6 then they flip it into being about how he doesn't know which ones the sense are.. I mean it's all fun and I can laugh at it but sometimes it gets a bit frustrating because it seems no one can take the smart or facts he says serious because they are so used to him saying strange or stupid things. His mind is pretty fascinating.

[@KamixSam]

really? I just laugh at burnie and gus when they're stupidly making fun of gavin being right.

[@TeeNanners]

Samuel Sargunam He is never right though!

[@NazarNovak]

John is a really interesting dude, can we have him sometimes on the podcast? :D

[@HiiroRocker101]

When Gavin started talking about humans having more than five senses, he was actually correct. Most humans have on average between 22 and 24 senses. The two he mentioned, temperature and "knowing where you are in relation to your nose" are real senses. The latter is called your kinesthetic sense. It deals with knowing where your body parts are in relation to your center of mass without having to see them or even feel them. It would be what gives us what we call "muscle memory," and allows us to accurately move our body and respond to external stimuli BEFORE our brain is able to translate the information it's receiving into a form that we can use to make premeditated decisions. Musicians and martial artists in particular have a very strong kinesthetic sense. Another of our other senses is knowing which way is up. That little air bubble inside our ears is the actual sensor that gives us this ability, and vertigo is the phenomenon we experience when that sense fails. We also have senses that detect when we are hungry or when we need to go to the bathroom. There are sort of pressure detectors in our stomach and bladder that sense these things. Scientifically, anything that we can do that is informed by a physical "sensor" inside our bodies is a sense. We might actually have more than 22-24 of them. Some scientists believe we may have more than 30, but they have yet to identify the particular body parts that would act as sensors for such things. Long story short, Gavin is 100% right. He's just doing that thing where he fails to communicate it properly.

[@advorange]

tl;dr pls

[@HiiroRocker101]

Don't be an illiterate fuck. You're watching a video that's almost two hours long. You have time to read a five paragraph post.

[@Hot18Shot]

advorange It wasn't even a long read, and it was quite informative.

[@advorange]

HiiroRocker101 There's a thing called sarcasm, I wish it transferred from writing better.

[@dif187]

As soon as Gavin started to mention other senses, I thought to myself "he watches QI too". _QI is a TV show hosted by Stephen Fry_

[@BottlesAndButtons]

I went into the comments. I almost didn't make it back out -.- Great podcast, I love listening to these when cookin'

[@KitKom]

This podcast was pure gold. haha great ep.

[@robzgarrett4904]

Michael's Laugh at 50:10 is the greatest thing I've ever heard. I'm telling you, Michael's Laugh will soon cure more cancer than Geoff's laugh.

[@DrBreakfastMachine]

Gavin is right about the senses. Sensing hot and cold, sensing up and down, sensing if you're sick or healthy, sensing how fast you're moving, etc all get lumped together as the sense of touch but they're technically all distinct.

[@norsefirefighter]

……no, thats a feeling of touch and sight. there is only 5 senses the rest are a combo of those 5.

[@vortex594]

Odin Allfather except not really.

[@Poponfu1]

im with gavin too !

[@norsefirefighter]

the gavin fan base….god help you all.

[@vortex594]

Odin Allfather i don't like gavin, i dislike ignorance.

[@RawrRawr828282]

I always listen to these when I'm doing my homework or revisions. They're the only thing that helps me deal with the boredom!

[@jordanryan3159]

''OMG the entire time Bruce Willis was a thermometer''

[@Sehvash]

The cut to John while they were laughing at around the 51:00 mark was so fucking hilarious.

[@TheMopnomore]

nature box "eat healthy, dont be lazy" Grub hub " Be Lazy, Eat whatever you want" lol

[@shipwrekedmind7536]

Ive been sick all day today but seeing this uploaded makes getting up this morning worth it!!! Rooster Teeth is Awesome!! :D

[@jb6458]

I absolutely adore Gavin and Michael's relationship :3

[@NatalieWilliams-mr4gs]

Watched the first half of this at work and the second half at home on my Xbox and sure enough you voice activated my youtube controls lol it's both fun and surreal having Gavin and Michael voice control my Xbox from the past...

[@taylor124567890]

Favourite lineup. Great episode.

[@TurtleForged]

That no-smell guy seems cool as shit. You guys should have him on more!

[@TurtleForged]

Apple Jaxc Why did I write "one"? Ha woops

[@sam72952]

Heya turtle :D

[@Tyler_Mayhem]

***** He hosts on the spot, But i'm sure you know that.

[@TurtleForged]

FightClubProjectM Wow, a response to a comment I made a year ago. I don't see that very often haha. Yeah this was my first introduction to John

[@Tyler_Mayhem]

***** Yeah I'm just rewatching old podcasts :)

[@MFAniki6390]

They just HAD to do a Podcast on the Second Day. Gavin warned them, but did they listen? No. ... No one's made that joke yet, right?

[@SkaterNinja07]

Uhhh. .... I think so XD

[@Mobius__]

Sleeping makes the rain go away.

[@orconoftime]

"It looks like a cut-scene from Viva Piñata." -Burnie Burns

[@AyoShaba]

Okay... these are the ones that I know about: touch -temperature -pressure -pain -position (joints) sight -distance -speed -color -depth hearing -speed (Doppler effect) -direction smell taste -chemical identity other physical -balance -fatigue (awareness of) mental -humor (pleasant surprise) -fear (unpleasant surprise) -unbased conjecture (intuition) -spatial reasoning Gavin is right...believe it or not lol

[@ThirdDungeon]

I don't believe colour is a sense, but yes those are all correct. I could be wrong though. Gavin is correct more often than not actually, but most people just don't believe him because he doesn't have the ability to explain it the same way someone normally would be able to. And he acts very stupid in most cases.

[@AyoShaba]

i was going on a rant so maybe i threw that one in there by accident lol...but i agree...he always makes good points but gets shit for them since he can't explain it well or jokes on it a bit too much lol it's funny as hell though

[@keanujpeg1388]

Bullshit

[@rachelk3887]

A bunch of those are touch or sight.

[@kalecaster227]

1:11:10 Gavin's laugh when Michael complements him.

[@MrTelboy]

Gavin and the senses has to be an animated adventure. Bruce Willis as a thermometer in the 31st sense.

[@helmerhandiwork]

The shot where they switch to John just standing there while they all crack up... haha

[@elnumbrotres]

Your orientation is actually from your ears. There is a liquid in your ears that helps you with balance and determining your orientation. If you spin around, the dizziness is from the liquid sloshing around. In fact, the reason you get dizzy and stumble when you're drunk is that the liquid in your ears becomes less dense as you drink more, and it will slosh around much more

[@jed92y]

Best closing song yet.

[@KrystalWolf24]

Lol I love it when everyone believes Gavin is being stupid, but we definitely do have more senses than the 5. The two he said are actually senses!

[@MegaKrage]

no offence. you are a moron. how can anyone believe that. those are not senses. its all feeling. which is one sense.

[@michaelaloser5985]

Gavin's actually really fucking smart like it comes out more on his SMG channel. He's just funny and is a huge goofball.

[@SlipTheNip]

MegaKrage no you're a moron... to name one - sense of balance.. that has nothing to do with feeling does it... moron.

[@MegaKrage]

SlipTheNip has everything to do with feeling

[@SlipTheNip]

not going to bother from this point on... >< god damn people these days

[@xbeast133]

This IMO should be the permanent RT Podcast crew. I love these guys.

[@MrzPicatu]

They're laughing at Gavin about the senses not knowing he's right, haha

[@NBR696]

Pretty awesome to see younger Risemonger again!

[@hardcoreLazors]

You should include john in these podcasts

[@razza810]

If Rysemonger got a sense of smell i imagine it to be like the episode of Spongebob where Patrick gets a nose.

[@MrNotThatFamous]

so many sponsors at the start i thought the video was all sponsors for a second lol

[@EskStGeorge]

Easily my favourite episode ever and I'm only half way through! Keep the laughs coming

[@KairiTardisAndMe]

Meg talks about a maid walking in on her and Gavin having sex, Gavin gets sensitive about Burnie even mentioning her name. Omg.

[@arcaninedattebayo11]

when/where did meg mention that?

[@arcaninedattebayo11]

yeah lol but what episode

[@katietheonion]

arcaninedattebayo11 Meg mentioned it on Twitter

[@ericdeloza4258]

arcaninedattebayo11 they talked about it in a recent table talk. I'll find it for you

[@arcaninedattebayo11]

thanks

[@SatroseCod]

the Riesmonger needs to be on the couch for a podcast

[@Throttle.Therapy.]

Do any of you guys listen to these while you do homework? I do, it's great!! :D

[@CockatooDude]

I do too!

[@MASTERchiefHaloFEST]

Who knew, I thought I was the only one cause stuff they talk about is interesting and makes hw less boring

[@HideousWings]

totally!

[@CJ_finesse]

I am right now! haha

[@mikutangible8030]

me!

[@BPH_BPH]

"the entire time bruce willis was a thermometer" i am crying laughing

[@shadowmil]

They laugh at Gavin... but he is right about the senses.

[@shadowmil]

Except yes.

[@shadowmil]

***** Without getting too indepth science.howstuffworks.com/life/question242.htm to prove my point. But if you wish, I could give you a more nuanced answer, such as things like blind sight, neural plasticity and sensory substitution. Basically in a nutshell, cutting edge science suggests that senses (at least not all of them) are not hardwired, but rather a learned and only the input mechanisms are predetermined (eyes, nose, nerve endings). If we can add new input mechanisms to the brain, the brain can then use it to create a new sense. One of the more interesting experiments was the magnetic compass belt. You can read more about it here: feelspace.cogsci.uni-osnabrueck.de/

[@shadowmil]

***** Well we are crossing over into philosophy more then science. The fact is that temperature, pain and touch all use different kinds of sensing cells. There are even conditions where some people are unable to feel pain, but other touch sensations remain intact. That would suggest that pain senses and touch sense, while blurry, are infact different senses. Some people believe that we are actually all born with our senses connected... sight and sound are combined for example. So you might see a sound, or hear a color. And people who don't separate these senses are the ones that have synesthesia. Even to us normal people, our sense may not be as separated as we think. Take the mcgurk effect for example. Also studies have shown that two liquids, who have the same taste but have different coloring, people will think they taste different. And the texture of food can also change the taste. The fact is, sense and perception are extremely complicated subjects that we still don't fully understand. But it is fair enough to say that there is more too it then "There are five senses". And in that regard Gavin is far more correct then the rest of the people. At least in this subject.

[@xTheFak3OG]

Temperature is not a sense. I don't sense temperature I feel it. The only extra sense I believe in is propreoception. AKA where you are in relation to your nose

[@shadowmil]

x THE FAK3 OG You know there are people who can't feel temperature but can feel pressure?

[@tazerz1051]

Gavin's senses speech has to be an animated adventure

[@watcheem]

Gavin is right. According to an article on HowStuffWorks.com: "The standard list of five senses doesn't really give our bodies credit for all of the amazing things they can do. There are at least a dozen different things we can sense."

[@TF1Akrata]

TheMonster5103 don't forget felling the food with your taste buds

[@jessecw2]

science.howstuffworks.com/life/question242.htm

[@Space55Invader]

TheMonster5103 It makes sense to divide touch and temperature sense into two categories because you have separately designed nerves for detecting each one

[@TF1Akrata]

Rhiannon Salmon love the MGDMT icon picture.

[@MegaKrage]

***** yea. its a feeling. and balance isn't a sense. is just a thing

[@KemaTheAtheist]

0:59 Skip all the ads and get to the podcast

[@glenhoerner8837]

The best part about Michael being on the podcast is that he calls out all the dumb shit Gavin says even more than Burnie or Gus

[@HQAcIDClan]

I like it when John was just standing there when they were laughing

[@ilovehertodeath]

I thought this was interesting. Temperature is an actual sense separate from any other. Gavin was right in that regard, and spatial awareness is actually Kinesthetic sense. Pain is a sense, and there is a sense for balance and acceleration.

[@nickroscoe7763]

if feel that a lot of those could go under touch or feel

[@ilovehertodeath]

Either way I don't really care.

[@PENGUlN124]

those are just sub categories of the 5 major senses.

[@ilovehertodeath]

According to medical studies they aren't.

[@MegaKrage]

all that is feeling. the one sense of feeling. spatial is feeling and sight as well.

[@jimmywhite3241]

Awesome! Can't wait for the new shirt listing all the senses Gavin told us about!

[@DenzaMan]

Am I the only one who stops watching a TV series for a while when they know it's about to end?

[@tsumagi9928]

Your not my friend e.e you never want the good ones to end ;~;

[@zeran100]

I remember that rain. Even in a town a few miles away from Austin, it still rained hard as hell. Yay Texas

[@KamixSam]

"Bullocks"-Gavin Free, 2014

[@BritishSarcasm]

It's spelt 'Bollocks', a bullock is a castrated bull

[@Schnitzelmann9]

''What's gluten?'' Oh what a better world we lived in in 2014.

[@nachoqt]

They pick on Gavin so much when he's right, but when he asks Jon if pepper makes him sneeze, that's a perfectly legitimate question.

[@orenje16872]

No it isn't... Your nose is irritated by the various molecules that make up the pepper not the smell of the fucking pepper. Wow...

[@orenje16872]

Yes I understand that smell is the activation of a specific receptor complex by its complementary ligand but that has nothing to do with irritation.

[@nachoqt]

Learn to read. EDIT: I take that back. I can see how it's confusing. I'm saying that they pick on him when they shouldn't, and they don't pick on him when they should. It's not a legitimate question, but they treat it like one.

[@andrewgardiner3996]

Lmao uh...science!

[@meedabestwookie]

EightBitNacho Oh yeah and Gavin was actually right about the senses thing.

[@caboosegi2867]

Jon is awesome! We should have him on screen more

[@michaelpeters1534]

So glad Gavin can laugh at him self, or he would get so mad about never winning an argument XD

[@hnk5105tab]

That look on John's face when they are sitting there laughing about Bruce Willis...."hey guys....can I join this conversation?? LOVE ME!"

[@Marblez3]

I miss Joel being on the podcast =(

[@ExtraChrispyBacon]

yes, and Geoff.

[@ethanquirk28]

Casual Saturday golf: wake up at 6:00am, leave at 6:30, finish at around 10:30 then have breakfast at the club house.

[@Prasamaccus]

I love the cutback to John and the blank look of 'wtf' on his face during Gavin's senses explanation.

[@DakotaMcElroy]

I live a few hours away from Austin, I remember this storm. Almost tennis balls sized hail, and it came out of no where

[@kimeechi]

i know gav isn't the most reliable when it comes to info like that about the senses - but the guys shouldn't just dismiss everything he says. The sense stuff he was talking about is a real thing. #StopTheBullying2014 #JUSTBLAZE

[@republiccommando1164]

I can acept hash tags on facebook, but youtube now?

[@stevo2517]

he generally quite smart about the stuff he says but just says it in a stupid way

[@plasticsam]

Fucking sense of upside down?

[@swirlingmass]

They are making something gavin said funny. So they should never do that on a COMEDY podcast right?

[@kimeechi]

yer supercrers

[@cmelendez1985]

This is the best lineup.

[@zCrabOG]

55:55 so in burnie logic there is only 1 sense: touch....

[@highviewarts]

55:00 It is touch. You feel the warm (or cool) air pushing against your skin. You're essentially feeling how cold or warm the air around you is.

[@bombaclat123]

Not exactly. It's more about the diffrence in 'energy', in this case the temperature, between your skin and the air. But what you said is still in the right direction and it certainly is part of your 'touch' sence. The term 'touch sence' just isn't correct in itself.

[@TheRealRobertBlarg]

I love that they always make fun of Gavin because he'll make silly comments like "does rocks float on lava?" but almost every time they talk about science -- Gavin has been, more or less, right. Whether he knows exactly what he's talking about or only has a vague idea, he almost always has a better idea than the rest. Gavin -- a true scientist, that one.

[@porter4203]

This is easily one of my favorite podcast episodes:)

[@NyxYuren]

MMA immersion would have been the greatest thing ever to see, Gavin and Michael doing martial arts would have been so funny too watch...can't believe they cancelled it.

[@Leto_0]

I love how an episode or two ago Gavin was talking about people doing the edits to show how they contradict themselves. I remember Gavin saying in at least two podcasts how he hates when machines think they know what you want, and he hates when restaurants assume you want the same thing you got last time. In this episode he talks about how he loves how the machines at Schlosky's(?) brings up the thing he got last time and asks if he wants it again. It's absolutely perfect.

[@JordanRagus]

Usually Gavin's an idiot and wrong, but he is absolutely right about the senses. I believe there's like 20 or 30 senses we have as humans. VSauce went over this once.

[@forameusxiv]

He's right more times than he's wrong actually. It's the diction he uses that makes him sound like a idiot. He was right about the senses, the long straw, aiming for a mountain, imperial gallon vs US gallon, and other topics that i can't recall right now. I find myself siding with Gavin on arguments more than Burnie or Gus because he is the type of person to look this shit up when he's bored.

[@MrPoshBrit]

thank you someone whose not and idiot

[@JordanRagus]

Kevin G Yeah, honestly he's garbage at explaining things, but he does always have valid points.

[@RaulKolk1]

***** Yep, Burnie has mentioned this as well. Even a few podcasts back Burnie mentioned that Gavin is a smart minded person. (or something)

[@antwond1405]

They tease him alot on the podcast because he can take it and its entertaining, but Burnie and even Gus has said before that he's actually quite a smart person

[@adyyoung19]

John's face when Gavin is naming the senses

[@Hornsby_Shackleton]

Gavin is absolutely right about there being more than 5 senses.

[@rachelk3887]

He may be sort of right about that, but there aren't 30 of them lol, and temperature is most definitely part of touch.

[@Renvi]

Gavin's reaction when Burnie told him the correct color of his shoes was priceless. I laughed for a couple minutes straight.

[@DovahkiinAnthony]

@midnight is so funny. Can't wait to see you guys on there.

[@jess3336677]

I love that they are getting so many sponsors

[@DownCast96]

Every fucking day I see this same shit. These effing Podcasts. I sit down with a bag of popcorn and a can of mountain dew and laugh my butt off at these guys at how funny this is. Had you guys going for a sec

[@alvarohernandez8287]

...you just want to watch the world burn, don't you.

[@joshsexbang268]

I love the podcasts!

There were so many Animated Adventure possibilities in this episode.

[@cocobug1000]

Vicar of Dibley is a great show!

[@EvilEmperorZ]

Speaking as a bartender, a good bartender will always list his most expensive beers first and last because most guests don't pay attention to the beers in the middle. Just a heads up.

[@DaleHarri94]

Gavin is a smart man, he just isn't the most articulate.

[@globaldefenseforce]

The shoe argument around 1:14:00 slayed me.

[@colaphoenix6849]

+globaldefenseforce *picks up the belt and shaman cloak and leaves*

[@eighttimesnine]

Oh, please let the whole senses thing become an Animated Advnture...

[@DogTagCentral]

hahahaha Gus' cheek beard as a DLC would be hilarious!

[@johnsantiago5846]

only problem about this podcast is that Gavin is right, we do have more than 5 senses.

[@stevenrledoux]

With Gavin and the whole "Temperature Sense" it reminds me when Meg touches the thermostat in the pilot episode of Family Guy, Peter bursts in and goes "Who the thermostat?!"

[@dreamjinx40]

Gavin's right about the senses thing. There are more than 5. :)

[@biggyvo]

This absolutely the best group of people

Everyone just bursts out laughing and John was just "wtf is wrong with them?"

[@AcidicOrpheus73]

Michael is going to be a great father with all the practice hes had dealing with gavin, i wonder if geaoffs daughter is more mature comparing herself to gavin, hes a really interesting and hardworking fella but gavin is really something

[@TheMafiaMK]

Lol the half of what they where bit just killed me.

[@badoman1]

i'd like to see geoff in a podcast

[@MrShadster2009]

He used to be in them all the time but he is too busy planning stuff for AH now

[@erikb1000]

One of the best podcasts ever!
