[@ThatYellowPokemon]

In my past 12 years of school I have learned to calculate the mass of NH4OH (Ammonium Hydroxide) leaving a balloon as the balloon is shrinking, yet I have not learned how to pay taxes or build an annuity or even save up my money through a bank to pay my bills. Good job America, what a wonderful educational system this place has, teach us nothing young so we lose all our money is the future! Referring to 11:45.

[@ThatYellowPokemon]

Also Barbara says "Just go to business school." Not much people have $100,000 to earn an MBA. Our educational system is god awful.

[@valeryg93]

ThatYellowPokemon especially in Florida

[@drumdreamer92]

IDK about you, but I learned all that back in 8th grade in the US.

[@bug1494]

ThatYellowPokemon my school district required that everyone take a personal finance class as a graduation requirement .

[@ThatYellowPokemon]

Nick L Every district I've looked at doesn't have this as a requirement, very few do. This should not be the case, every district NEEDS to have this.

[@ShinobuSakurazaka]

Burnie figuring out what Gavin meant by "That would be different for a woman" was one of those great RT Podcast moments.

[@xgntyler3987]

That was fucking funny. I busted out laughing and everyone is asleep at 430.

[@Mrspeedracing1go]

An RT Podcast is the best start to the week I could ever ask for!

[@smoothjazz666]

That's why I start my weeks on Tuesday. ^.^

[@cai6972]

there is no weeks in summer just days

[@Mrspeedracing1go]

It's Tuesday, but who likes Monday's? Am I right?

[@Mrspeedracing1go]

You could go along with it ...

[@johnryan9331]

"get off my property" better become an RTAA

[@saphironkindris]

As to your conversation on taxes and mortgages and stuff,i have no idea how any of that works. i just hit 18, and i don't know how to life. in any way.

[@thehashslingingslasher4264]

I'm trying to find out wtf I'm suppose to do after I finish this college thing

[@koolkidinawheelchair]

It's okay, I'm 20 and still don't know either. We may be legal adults but that doesn't mean that we are full adults mentally. Give it time, you'll learn life as you live it. Just be open minded, be willing to accept when you're wrong and learn from your mistakes.

[@Senblch]

Taxes in my country - dont give a fk - just visit a website once a year and ur done with ur taxes in 2 seconds.

[@UnclePooSniff]

I'm 19 and I'm with you there. No clue about taxes

[@saphironkindris]

***** thank god i don't know what this "job" thing is either. my taxes were easy when i just had to write "0" in every slot referencing money, which is all of them.

[@DovakiinEvan]

Gavin's hair looks like he stood in front of a fan for a while

[@KILOVICTOR4525]

Gus' s bay window get off my property story has definitely got to make into RTAA

[@AJordan44-]

The prophet over here

[@KarskiGaming]

After Barbara saying that her garage door was left open all night I came downstairs to see mine was open all night. Nothing was stolen, that's Australia for you!

[@DomDoesBits]

British people know the ONLY reason that Gavin knew the year of the Battle of Hastings... "0800 00 1066"

[@derodor]

***** Drake and Josh for me

[@amcveigh495]

Oh my God..... its been so long since I heard that.

[@Samcastle1_]

My school offers a ton of classes that'll help with real world stuff but i'm not forced to take them so why the hell would I take boring classes if they aren't forced. And i'm sure that's how most kids look at it.

[@m4gg0tn1n3]

And that's why we don't know what to do for the rest of our lives because it's "boring". Lol

[@giladandguy1]

Because they will help you succedd in life

[@mikejones301]

King Farticus why attend a class when you can google it and find thousands of tutorials and explanations

[@CPTSkullofDoom]

Mike Jones Why trust the damn internet knowing how many things have been said? Many sites say different things, it might be true, but there might be a flaw or two of their explanation.

[@Samcastle1_]

King Farticus i didnt complain about any classes im taking? How stupid do you look.

[@Taylor793]

This should be Podcast 277.....

[@nyxnoxnightingale633]

Isn't it?

[@jamesonsperling8551]

when burnie laughs at gavin probably has to be the best thing ever to this planet

[@briannamessick9791]

At 5:20 did anyone else's video freak out?

[@noahbrewer7325]

Yup

[@tommyjones3876]

Gavin even mentioned it he said "and not have a seizure" so that was on their end not yours.

[@mikeh4341]

The guy who took the photo from the orbiter was also the furthest from any other human in human history. He orbited the moon and whilst on the dark of the moon side lost all contact with NASA and his fellow astronauts making him the "loneliest" person in existence at that time.

[@Pigmandoesgaming]

i learn more watching Rooster Teeth than i do in school

[@assistantmagus5213]

100% truth

[@bhawkfan95]

19:30 Burnie acknowledges that Gavin is "a smart guy." Never thought I'd see the day.

[@Armadill0h]

Roosterteeth: Teaching me shit the government doesn't bother to.

[@eaglecohort5259]

Hey rt, I just found the first 5 seasons of red vs blue on the popular page of Netflix. I don't know how long it's been since this happened, but I wanna congratulate you guys. It's amazing what you can do with a few guys, an apartment, a dream, and a copy of halo, and what it can grow into. I wish you guys success on all future ventures and I can't wait for Laser Team.

[@TheSidetrackYT]

For those fellow Canadian who (like myself) have been anxiously awaiting the day that NatureBox shipped to Canada, know that their Canadian 'store' is currently in beta. That means you can't get the 50% discount on your order yet. You can't customize the 5 things in your box either, but they ship you a different combination every month, which is cool. Supposedly, they'll have a fully-functional Canadian store by the Fall of 2014, so that's cool!

[@TheSidetrackYT]

I was hoping it wouldn't come to this...

[@amandalee5698]

I lived on a leather couch for four months while I was on a wait list for an apartment. I COMPLETELY agree with Burnie on this one, that was the shittiest thing to sleep on.

[@MongoSmash591]

The fact that Gavin was upset that large men were sweating when they moved his crap just killed me. Let him move it himself.

[@meganl9573]

I'm a sophomore in high school and this semester I decided to take personal finance as just a filler class and my teacher has taught me so many things that were so simple to learn, but I'll remember them for a life time and it will make my future life so much easier

[@SametHorses]

Just to make things clear. I am a Swedish citizen, paying around 30% in taxes. The guys paying 60% in our country is the ones who earn over 50,000 SEK a month (about £5,491.58 or $6,943.86).

[@NinjaPups]

Such a good episode. But...next episode is even better! :)

[@austinmd-01]

Honestly, why haven't you got hired from RT yet. And are you going to RTX this year?

[@NinjaPups]

xHawkx77 i wish, but i'm working all summer to save up for a car, and as much as I would love to, I went last year and a car is more important because that's how I am going to drive to Austin next year lol, which i should be going next year :)

[@graciehud]

Ninjapups is so cool he probs just saved a orphan baby from a saber tooth tiger

[@holmes6410]

Hudson Delarios no he brought them back from extinction and saved a preschool from a pack of them without killing a single one

[@thelastcoolguyonearth4858]

44:49 Burnie's laugh sounds exactly like Michael's

[@jariahsgone]

When they started talking about personal finance and interest, it reminded me that I hadn't paid my credit card this month. So thanks, RT! You saved me from a late fee.

[@nolanmcdonald3237]

did anyone else notice the camera spazam at 5:20

[@bobillydill8673]

thank god someone else saw it too

[@GinKadia]

1:27:27- In Gavin's defense, my grandparents had two couches which were basically recliners.

[@ManleyCustoms]

I wanna see the story of Gus standing inside his house telling nobody to stay off his property and then Gavin's little saying at 7:22 as an RTAA

[@danielkniceley4594]

Gus describing the North and South Korea border guards is basically RVB

[@Crossark1]

Most Canada was actually originally a Dutch colony, with a small exception in what we now call Québec, which was French. If I were a guessing man, and, occasionally, I am, I would say that the Dutch yielded the territory to the British in some Trade or War treaty. This information provided by an 15-year old Austinite without using the Internet. EDIT: Apparently, what we now call Québec was originally New France. This blurb found on Wikipedia, but only by knowing about the French and Indian war previously.

[@jacob1233546]

give the kid a break, jesus

[@nathanguajardo2749]

Giant Panda Damn dude he made a mistake holy shit give him a break.

[@Harry-jg1qi]

you can't even copy and paste form wikipedia properly

[@cameronlewis8061]

it was British and French mate

[@zigthefig]

He shouldn't have even been trying to give information like he knows what he's talking about when he really has no fucking idea. "This information provided by a 15 year old Austinite without using the internet."

[@dylanmorris9434]

In my Sophomore year of high school I took Accounting as an elective and learned about interest, balancing check books, and running things like payroll. There's even continuations of that course if students are interested.

[@gabbybenson3638]

I love the fact that Gus went, "Wait, Wait, Wait" than an add played. lol!

[@MirroredReality]

Um, who mis-numbered the podcast? Where's 277?

[@bricklaanem4120]

I'm thinking about that too :D

[@SutomuraidaZX]

27:51 "Let me read this" lol xD playback

[@21stCenturyAmarjotx3]

What Burnie was saying about the whole personal finance thing, I agree completely, I'm 18 now and I have no idea about how mortgages or taxes or anything like that work, I would love classes on that type of thing.But hey, thank god I know how to work out the gradient of a fucking curve.

[@kangaroodude34]

I fucking died when Burnie shouted "ON THE MOON!" at 37:00 XD

[@InfamousAtom]

I swear, the topics on the rt podcasts are always so petty. "Ugh, I hate interacting with people." "My Roomba broke." "I hate knocking on people's doors" "I wouldn't touch wet bread for $100" (of course you wouldn't, you're LOADED!) I know I'm gonna get hate and I still think they're hilarious, but god they lack perspective and are so self-centered!

[@InfamousAtom]

Still think they're funny, but that doesn't mean I can't be pissed about some of the things they say

[@rahulkaul1945]

Complaining about someone complaining... Classic KZbin irony.

[@tatianawolf1253]

I'm mean but it's just suposed to be relaction stuff talk about what is happening to them and stuff not supper serious. It's just funny stuff to relax and listen to

[@SemiIocon]

This is why I listen to it. It's like sitting with your friends discussing random stuff, just that you don't know the people in this video personally.

[@DeathZoneKiller]

What would you prefer they talk about?

[@Javianime214]

Gavin's hair just keeps getting wilder and wilder with each podcast

[@godjesusfranklinperenthese1443]

[@Commandosmith]

Gus tell me when your squirrel problem goes away and ill call my friends back.

[@hvulpes]

lazer beam? more like lazer team amirite

[@jonnyfollan4680]

Yes

[@CptChu]

Moving hassles are always fantastic thing to deal with, I just recently moved to Austin, it took me 4 days to pack everything and then when the movers came, there was still things that needed to be packed, it took me 3 days to drive from southern California to Austin and then it took a week for movers to deliver my things to my new house. When they delivered my stuff, boxes were the wrong way up, boxes were missing, fine china was broken, and boxes were broken into and hundreds of dollars of games were stolen, they even stole my grandmother's urn.

[@nilsdeelen3128]

In the Netherlands before we had the euro we had gulden. I know this because i am Dutch

[@kevinsanders6268]

They mixed up the thumbnails. That's next weeks podcast. They release these one week after they record, so next weeks was done the day this uploaded.

can a dutch person please work for rooster teeth? :P his job description would just be "explain how the Netherlands work" cause i dont think they will ever figure it out on there own

[@MrLordi27]

I would like to

[@xMortalBlade]

personally i dont think its that complicated because i live a few 100 metres away from the border

[@notoriousnate1146]

I live in Montana where the German exchange student was shot, and Burnie missed a big part of the story. The German kid had previously broken into the guys house, so naturally he was fed up. That was when he baited him in, after the 3rd or 4th time he had been stolen from. I'm not defending the guy, but it is legal here to defend your property when someone has violent or criminal intentions.

[@jonathangrayson7230]

1:27:43 needs to be a shirt

[@jonathangrayson7230]

that, and when burnie says, "they make you go bluuugggh" about leather couches

[@CzechThisOutToday]

Make this comment a shirt.

[@corrinneg2010baby]

My school high school had a personal finance class that I took, along with other helpful classes. I took Accounting 1 & 2 and learned how to balance a checkbook and what not as well.

[@ThePurpleKnightmare]

Oh Barbara's outfit is cute in this one.

[@DavidC_92]

The photo is Apollo 15, taken by Alfred Worden, July 30th 1971.

[@zachpopp9442]

We don't learn jack-SHIT about finance, savings, and other useful skills for living alone in high school.

[@reNINTENDO]

I had an economics class that covered interest and such, but they neglected to go over useful and commonly used terms and concepts. To be fare it was economics, not personal finance, but there shouldn't be a reason kids can graduate without even knowing what taxes are.

[@RUSTY4.7]

Just wanted to say I love roosterteeth you guys have come so far in the last 10 years it's absolutely awesome to have witnessed

[@ElJackador]

Barbara is too hot nowadays

[@audriecrawford2620]

Burnie has SUCH a good point. I just got into college and I have no idea how to deal with finances other than on a very basic level. No one teaches you that crap

[@zeriex2]

Burnie actually we learned personal finance in 8th grade (middle school) and I live in the same state Texas

[@MachineGunFelly]

Yeah, except he went to middle school in the mid 80s and I doubt you're as old as him.

[@ZeDitto3]

What the fuck? Virginia needs that shit.

[@CB8151]

In North Carolina its required to take civics and economics

[@13MrMackey]

Here in California we don't have Economics

[@elli_eso]

I wish my middle school taught personal finance in 8th grade lol. I live in Austin and my 8th grade math was pre-algebra. :/

[@RememberPluto]

Gavin: " You mean you don't have a part of your body that has no feeling?" Gus "Yea My heart." Fucking gold.

[@Jordan33731]

Barbara is hot

[@johnjd12able]

I like the way the first comment is "Barbara is hot".

[@Vincisomething]

I was just thinking about the tall south Korean tactic just before Gus mentioned it, lol. And these podcasts always make me laugh so hard.

[@whatupdawg20]

The comments make almost every rooster teeth fan seem like an a-whole. Am i alone in thinking that?

[@ChuBamPow]

The moon landing happening in 1969 was probably a fact people actually remembered thanks to the song from Even Stevens back in the day. "We went to the moon in 1969 and then we made a landing that was lunnnaaarrrr!" Or is that just me that remembers that? Maybe just me.

[@Panda-hj2fw]

I believe Gus was talking about Diomede and Little Diomede for the two islands. Little Diomede belongs to the US, and 2 miles away Big Diomede belongs to Russia, and the dateline goes right between them.

[@skibw22]

the gus-window story should be an animated adventure

[@TheMightyBaino]

Gavin was on top form with the handshake, I don't think i've ever laughed so hard at a youtube video before.

[@paulmannification]

I really love how Gus says to wait, and then the podcast stops for a second at 1:15:07-1:15:11 (didn't feel like making the time clickable, so have fun getting the time)

[@paulmannification]

Damn, KZbin made it clickable.

[@psychopachikryder]

Whoever did it Barbara's makeup did a great job. Her eyes are like wow!

[@tReynos1]

Best description of a leather couch, ever!

[@bh0294]

My grandpa has a two seater recliner couch just like Gavin described. It's super comfy.

[@cobwebe]

1:15:10 after Gavin said his stupid thing about the fridge, Gus started shouting wait and then it cut to an ad as if Gus wanted Gavin to stop for the ad. that was way funnier to me than it should be.

[@Mr40st]

About the personal finance I learned that in my senior year of high school in turlock, California. My teacher Said it wasn't part of the district or state curclem but he's going to teach us it because we need to know it. He was one of the best teachers I have ever had and is what has inspired me to one day be a teacher.

[@HashiMadara]

1:15:08 as soon as Gus started saying wait an ad played. It was hilarious😂😂😂 Turns out it’s one of the few ads I’ve watched until the end: Angel Lopez - Quedate Aquí

[@greenricky4782]

I love this "Gavin's Brain" Game. It is amazing what Gavin thinks. It is also hilarious.

[@Rotionpotion]

Man you guys don't have any right to criticize Barbara's history knowledge. The war that gave NA to Britain was the seven years war or the French Indian War which is taught in most middle AND high schools. And the outcome was a major factor in starting the American Revolution.

[@Abstr4xGaming]

LMAO When they were talking about George clooney and the litter box

[@WillDuckett]

Haha 'and not have a seizure' right after the screen starts flickering xD

[@Sharksfan2720]

In Alberta we have CALM (Career and Life Management) in school, which is mandatory class, and then Financial Management, which is an optional class

[@peefrimgar3797]

I can't speak for the majority of places, but my high school recently made a Personal Finance class that was mandatory for graduation. It's dumb that this class is so new (probably added in the last 5 years give or take) but it's a start

I love seeing Barbara and Gavin together they're so funny.

[@renderXp1000]

I like how the thumbnail is for podcast 278 lol, you could tell by gavs shirt and the new couch

[@meavele]

I first listened to this podcast as audio only and i couldn't figure out why around 5:25, Gavin says "Id go over to my friends house and not have a seizure" or why nobody acknowledged it. Now it makes more sense.

[@IAmMinnian]

That was the best ad read in a podcast yet.

[@BulletDrummer]

I want Burnie's first 'bleeeurgh' as my text tone. I also know exactly what he's talking about.

[@ElCrazyoXboxLive]

27:50 GUS you definitely did ask ;)

[@TebrynVaash]

This is why I enjoy working with Primerica. Here in Canada finances isnt taught, no one learns about money! Primerica helped me understand the financial world, how the Rule of 72 worked in my favor what kind of insurance and investments are not only available but are in my best interest. It goes beyond simply not knowing as well, its also about not asking questions. Like accepting term life insurance on the car you bought for 40$ a month as opposed to simply increasing your personal term insurance. No one asks why, they are told to sign the dotted line!

[@raycoyleiv]

I took a personal economics class last year in highschool. Very helpful!

[@ImmaturePixel]

This is my favourite combination of people to do the podcast!

Did anyone notice the thumbnail from this is a screenshot of the next podcast with the new couch?

[@NBraun99]

The dust on moths is actually tiny scales made from modified hairs. Moths, like butterflies, belong to the Lepidoptera family, which means scale wing :/

[@NBraun99]

Also that means you should not touch they're wings
