RT Podcast: Ep. 447 - Geoff the Hermit

[@WhisperingWinds0]

I dig the 2 person podcast as a wednesday or saturday addition,it's pretty chill,relaxing and it gives you the chance to maybe get to know the two a bit more than a full 4 podcast conversation,it's more intimate and personal

[@FuzeBM]

Satan Gunner agreed

[@arandomcx7240]

Satan Gunner ya

[@MasterPokemanzer]

I feel like it is nice that they get to discuss one topic for a longer period of time. Whether it is because they are worried about running out of conversation topics, or because two people can go back and forth on an idea for longer than four (because four people is more likely to result in someone leading the conversation a totally different direction much sooner) I definitely have been enjoying the change of pace this offers. Still love the four person structure too though, of course.

[@droppskull1007]

Satan Gunner Definitely. I think it is a nice touch. I'd like to see Michael Next, or Michael and Gavin in one. It's be cool to learn more about how they became friends, lioe, in detail.

[@FuzeBM]

DroppSkull id like to see Hullum or Barb next

[@RookieDad1]

GEOFF ON THE RT PODCAST?!?!? WE'VE BEEN BLESSED Edit: Maybe he's here for a therapy session after his Dead Rising Mini Golf breakdown

[@theInsaneDoctor]

What part is that?

[@mr.nugetwatch6295]

at least watch through part 5

[@UponThisAltar]

Kevin Arias Lube up the suicide machine!

[@fail_x-bomberman7944]

Geoff is genuinely a really smart, intellectual guy. Been watching Rt for nearly 9 years now, love everyone of them!

[@pwesto2186]

FAIL_X- BOMBERMAN salt of the earth!

[@HelloImErik]

I love Jack. He gets so much hate, but he's so passionate about everything RT offers us. They're lucky to have him.

[@malakai4800]

Mr. Reflex As Geoff would say , he's the salt of the earth.

[@charleylynch131]

is he leaving RT?

[@davidbiddle1525]

Charley Lynch did you like watch the podcast lmao he literally was here to clear up the fact that no he isn't leaving and that's why he got fired forever ago

[@charleylynch131]

David Biddle I started watching it this morning and got to the point before jack came on. Got home from work and then watched a Lil bit more and got confused by the comments as It sounded like alot of people were implying jack was leaving. Currently watching the last 20mins of the podcast

[@battleXking]

Bless his heart

[@damiankilsby277]

Can we get a podcast of just Michael talking to himself for an hour and a half?

[@recklessturtle7462]

Or a one on one of Jeremy and Michael

[@IG88films]

Damian Kilsby his banjo kazoo or full play is the best

[@PontusPresents]

We already have that podcast. It's called 'Off Topic'! ;)

[@Stargazeer]

Pontus Presents Everyone else are just figments of his imagination.

[@chriscostanza5689]

Off Topic?

[@Kibbz10]

This is just therapy for Geoff

[@bobparker465]

More like an intervention.

[@SkywardSpork]

Bob Parker Nah that man hasn't been drinking for months now, he's almost a normal human being!

[@Duffington]

I like you Karl profile pic :D

[@JustAPositiveGuy]

Not enough of Geoff on the podcast, loved this. I'm tired of re-listening to the first ~130 podcasts over and over :'D

[@DaddieslilMan]

Same, the golden age of the podcast.

[@angeltrinidad1850]

JustAPositiveGuy That's what I do too. I listen to the older podcasts because their funnier and love the chemistry between the people, like Gus, Geoff, Burnie, Gavin, and some other people like Brandon, Matt, and my fav, Griffin.

[@DrewTheConqueror]

Absolutely!

[@spearofconquest]

Back when the podcast was just friends talking to each other. Now its so..... forced.

[@DerakosZrux]

I've only been an avid RT fan for a few years now so maybe I'm just not spent. I love watching the OG cast. There's other people I like but I'm glad they try to get most of the main cast once every few weeks or so. That's sufficient. Muriel, Mica, Michael, Blaine, Ryan, John Risinger.... ummm w/e Dark Blain's real name is....

[@jared-ze4lm]

Dang, look at Geoff comin' in to work even though he's on sabbatical. What a champ.

[@happi2301]

Please

[@coreyballenger5600]

jaredcochran I'm pretty sure that's over.

[@rippedup1931]

Corey Ballenger triggered

[@TheLuke3399]

He still does a lot of recording because he enjoys it, but the reason he needed a sabbatical was because of all the administrative tasks and meetings he had to do.

[@neji360Airstrike]

Corey Ballenger It is.

[@shark180]

42:49: "I like stuff to excess no matter what it is..." Reminds me of that time Geoff, Gus and Burnie were on that horrible "talk show" during pax on year. Geoff is sitting on a couch looks at a bowl of candy in front of him and says something, "I'm going eat every piece single of candy in that bowl" and preceded to do exactly that.

[@xJennyMFx]

GEOFF AND BURNIE???? I'M SO HAPPY OMFG

[@madelineluke7749]

This podcast is actually so inspiring and an amazing change. Jack talking about his struggles after making a mistake and being fired, and about how big of a deal this was for rooster teeth at the time. But then coming back and Jack being rehired and rooster teeth becoming as big as it is. I find that amazing because we often see rooster teeth as this big awe-inspiring company that we all want to work at but this shows that they also have problems but get back up. Geoff talking about his drinking and his progression to becoming a healthier and happier person, was also inspiring. Please continue to make these two person podcasts, it is amazing to see the stories of people I find so inspiring.

[@VocalScorePony]

Did anyone else cry a little bit when Geoff was telling Jack he loved him. It was just so sincere and sweet.

[@Xass4sain4lifeX]

I want to see the original podcast crew - Gus, Burnie, Geoff, Joel, Matt.

[@benpebbles4111]

Man Ho Tze JACK

[@basic_sam9210]

Search founding fathers panel rtx 2017

[@kes6628]

Idk if joel would agree. Have you seen his Twitter? What ever happened with that?

[@NoOneLikesMyUsernam1]

And Griffon

[@JuniorFanCirca1989]

And Gus

[@Natsukiiiiiiiiii490]

Burnie's the best for one on one shows, this should be the permanent Thursday podcast because I miss Game Time

[@huntingmaddog572]

ThtNotSoAvgT Yeah but put a young new hire in the hot seat and he just belittles them and argues with them

[@Natsukiiiiiiiiii490]

Hunting Maddog Maybe, but Game Time was never really like that in my opinion. He had on Michael, Gavin, Ray, and Meg and he never belittled them, they just had some interesting conversations.

[@kaymanpro4688]

100th like

[@James-zz6nq]

Geoff hasnt been allowed to just talk by himself without sucking at videogames for so long I ALMOST forgot how interesting he is. #Geoff4number1AH

[@AleAngel038]

It's weird, but it wasn't until after Geoff mentioned it that I noticed how much he's changed just since he stopped drinking.

[@FuzeBM]

The hot mic is back jack is back Geoff is back what is happening ?

[@MrThemailman27]

Colonel Fuze I believe they call it "improvements" but I could be mistaken

[@FuzeBM]

themail Man27 shots fired ?

[@jesseparadon6261]

this is not a joke. Geoff encouraged me to stop drinking

[@williamthibeau1122]

It's so strange how you can be proud of someone you've never met so instead I'll just say I'm happy for him even though I'm sure it makes no difference to him but I'm astoundingly happy for geoff he looks happier and better and it's really amazing. I hope he feels the love of the fan basis 🙂

[@MrThemailman27]

Dude has made a killing he's a pop culture character instantly recognisable got a great family great friends all the company have done so well jokes aside they deserve every bit of success

[@erikcravotta1625]

themail Man27 about this great family 😬

[@shonnew]

Yeah, that great family fell a part leaving him in a terrible state, but he's doing fine.

[@Rottenwaffle]

I love that Geoff speaks his mind and has an amazing conversation from it most of the time

[@whocares2659]

DO ONE WITH JOEL I LOVE THAT MAN

[@teipeu9033]

WhoCares?

[@FuzeBM]

Its so weird seeing geoff on the podcast again

[@JoeMM5]

The idea of Jack getting fired makes me so unbelievably sad, it's crazy

[@indieramus]

God I miss you Burnie, please come back just for the podcast. :'(

[@MrRoSsXxX]

Goeff the GoD

[@ichigokurasaki100]

Ross Geoffrey O'Donal?

[@Yousmellikemahn]

You spelled it wrong

[@MyElune]

Jack's voice makes my soul vibrate

[@MacRay14]

Honestly, this is one of my favorite podcasts in a long time. I've always loved Burnie and Geoff together. Makes me very sad we don't get to see them together much anymore

[@killingkoi]

Burnie,Geoff and Jack on a podcast. Its like the good ol days again.

[@_WeDontKnow_]

19:20 I love that Geoff was actually honest with Jack for like three seconds and then immediately made a joke about firing him.

[@arikmarino3471]

It's sad the geoff had a drinking problem but it's great that he is fine and got over it.

[@littlejp6090]

military does that to ya but glad hes doing good

[@RTRyles]

little JP far too accurate.

[@tplouffe9226]

I understand what Geoff was saying, but Go and VS were amazing shows! They may have dropped down on views, but everything has! They should do a few more and see how they go.

[@BobCobb7331]

And for your next trick, get Ray.

[@bendefusco8706]

A better trick would be to get Monty.

[@IvenSkateboarding]

Pointless Monk stop, just stop

[@charlottedunne7539]

thats not funny

[@Natsukiiiiiiiiii490]

Pointless Monk Those fans that are complete dickheads and socially inept, this is one of them

[@Gwyllgi]

Oooh, that was good.

[@scottvogel8477]

I am a simple man. I see Geoff on the RT podcast and I click.

[@CyanideSlushie]

must have been a while

[@hannahmusum1693]

I just saw the title, didn't even see what show it was. Clicked it and it was RT podcast, like "Guess this is what I'm gonna spend my next 1 and a half hour on"

[@imblakeiswear2549]

Scott Vogel so you havnt really clicked since drunk tank days? Dang thats awhile.

[@bhoneshark]

Agreed. Geoff+Burnie in a podcast and I'm in.

[@writeitandweep]

Congrats to Geoff! My mom was the same way, she decided she was done and stopped. Never had cravings for drinking, but when she did she wouldn't stop. Geoff is absolutely looking better now though :)

[@televisedcomet]

1:10:00 whelp. For better or for worse (you can form your own opinion idfc), they were wrong.

[@FromPandaSpace]

easily one of my favorite podcasts to date. Love this dynamic of Geoff and Burnie

[@stewskeys]

This was hands down my favorite podcast ever. Thank you so much for being on it Geoff.

[@mujari]

Seeing a legit smile on geoffs face makes me so happy. So proud he decided to be sober.

[@idoF]

I'm just super proud of Geoff right now. Good job man!

[@skigod07]

talking about how hard you guys worked in the early days is super inspiring. so cool to see what became of all your hard work. very happy for you guys, you are a company that really deserves it.

[@burnsyuchiha1371]

Watching this now is so sad because of Andy, miss you buddy

[@JP-oz3gh]

I can't believe people would dislike a podcast with Geoff on it. He's amazing.

[@DDnufcGamer]

Funny how at the time they weren't sure about risking it and keeping AH, now it's one of the biggest thing RT ever did

[@bendefusco8706]

Well, no, it's not.

[@MrTurtlelove7]

Pointless Monk Are you serious? It's easily their most popular videos they put out. I'd argue it's way more popular than even Red vs Blue.

[@DDnufcGamer]

I said it's one of the biggest things they have ever done. RvB is the biggest imo even just based on the fact that it spawned everything and is still going strong, but after that? Can't be much bigger than AH. Especially considering they started Let's Play too.

[@bendefusco8706]

Oh, sorry I thought you said the biggest thing they made, it definetly is one of but RvB takes the cake.

[@DDnufcGamer]

Pointless Monk haha, fair enough. I agree with that

[@515CW]

Still one of my all-time favorite RT Podcasts

[@NinjaPups]

Geoff on a podcast? What year is it?

[@DigitalSalt]

As a long time viewer of RoosterTeeth and Achievement Hunter and as someone who really appreciates the personalities we have seen for so many years, I love getting more of a real conversation with them. Always loved the one on one's that Burnie did with people while playing games and I'd love to see more people on the podcast in this format!

[@FoenixRight]

Geoff is looking really good. It's nice to see when people kick a bad habit before it becomes a major issue. Once you cross that line where you're seeing a doctor to help fix your health it's such a long road to recovery.

[@Grannaple]

im so happy for geoff. im glad he took a step towards doing something for himself that makes his life better and seeing him happy is amazing. lots of love to you geoff

[@nizzlexD93]

Can we have the 2 man podcast like twice a month, just to keep it always refreshing.

[@baummerr6057]

This makes me so happy, I love seeing the guys reminisce about simpler times.

[@Josephptapia]

They should always have a 2 person podcast on Thursday, Game time with Burnie was a great series and this is very similar to that and this should takes its place

[@ConordeSmith]

One of the most enjoyable podcasts in a while! Was so engaged throughout all of it but maybe it's because I love Geoff and Burnie

[@OGRaggie]

This was probably the most interesting podcast in years

[@marsm9]

More of this. These are the podcasts I really enjoy, when the OG RT guys sit down and talk. Always interesting seeing behind the curtain of the old days and the blood sweat and tears they put into it. So much respect.

[@Ziorac]

4:20 Geoff screaming 'shut up' reminded me of when Burnie did that on a podcast once too. Those two are made for reach other.

[@Xplay19ify]

We all like listening to you, Geoff. Bring more Geoff.

[@sawyerskog3675]

I never realized how much I can relate to jack

[@RavenTTDK]

Hey Geoff. Long time RT fan here. I rarely write comments, but I feel like I have to say that I have huge respect for you being completely honest about your (former) drinking got out of control, and sharing what has happened. So Geoff good job in stopping drinking, and for sharing. You might not read this comment, but I had to write it.

[@YogiXXL]

It's so weird for me that I got into Roosterteeth as a teen for the Lads and Gav's weird noises but now that I'm older I really like the Gents and Geoff's stories.

[@BrushSaw]

Good to see Geoff beeing so chill - him and Ryan still are my favorite Achievement Hunters

[@jeremymcadam7400]

so much nostalgia for the early days of AH

[@richie32392]

I would love to just sit and talk to Geof for a day. He seems like the kind of guy who has a lot of good life experience to give out to help others.

[@LEGITMISTER69]

Hey congratulations on your sobriety Geoff. Good to see you're doing well and living well. Keep it up man you're looking good

[@Tentantionem]

This needs a Part 2! I love hearing what Geoff and Burnie have to talk about. It's also nice seeing Geoff on the RTPodcast again :)

[@moze_-]

Rooster Teeth without Jack wouldn't be the same.

[@fabdino8073]

yeah it would be better

[@SergeantSnorlax013]

FabDino i disagree he is incredibly passionate about RT and AH not to mention while yes he can be annoying (who isnt time to time) he does good work and is a good voice within the company

[@crumplycrumplestein7981]

FabDino not even

[@spookyjishwa]

He is ,without a doubt, a great human being and probably one of the kindest. Only drawback about him is that he forces his humor and advertisements or product placements.

[@matthewcasey4014]

FabDino right it would be better if they never hired him and end up raising 3 million dollars in charity. Dude he may get annoying at times but when it comes down to it, Jack is just an all around nice guy

[@IvenSkateboarding]

I absolutely love Geoff very intelligent, and lovable person, and I enjoy listening to everything he has to say. I hope to see him on the podcast much more often.

[@Wolffang731]

GEOFFREY

[@jallen6729]

I wasn't intending to watch this podcast in its entirety but I was so immensely entertained watching these guys interact that I'm here now and I don't regret it at all.

[@hazel2718]

Man, Geoff is such an awesome dude. By far my favourite member of RT.

[@PwnLogan]

This is easily one of my favourite podcast in a long time. I love how personal it was! I'm also extremely proud of Geoff and his self will

[@cloudcovercreations]

Geoff on the RT podcast? This is as rare as Roy coming back from Challenge Finders.

[@D.Ambrose]

Miss these days

[@joshmann9008]

I'm happy for Geoff, he is making a healthy choice by stopping his drinking, and instead using his time for healthier foods and books.

[@cartermosby711]

Geoff is looking better, sounding better, and it sounds like he feels better, good for him!

[@hastyislive]

i wanna sayjack is one of the best people on planet earth. thank you for being jack, jack!

[@Shaqurh]

My two favorite people at RT, Burnie and Geoff. I could listen to this for hours. So great, I love all their stories

[@aiwash2766]

Oh man this is so nostalgic. I miss the days of when Burnie, Geoff, Gus just ripped into jack. Good times

[@benjitf2962]

One of the actual best videos I've ever watched, seeing Geoff this way is amazing.

[@SxC97]

Love to see Goeff back on the podcast! Also I know that Jack gets a lot of hate on the podcast but I’ve really missed him since he hasn’t been on in so many years.

[@nicksrsflicks]

Really like the format of two people chatting and others being put in the hot seat for a short time :D

[@IamAJoe]

how Geoff is treating drinking and how he stopped, ect is how I treated smoking this February. smoked for 10 years and I had to just go no more and quit. I don't mind being around it but don't want it

[@51l0n]

I love when Jeff and Burnie are on a podcast together they are the best at talking and there's no boring moments.

[@tmwilliams92]

I'd like if they did a Drunk Tank edition of the RT podcast with Burnie, Gus, Geoff, Griffon, and Jack.

[@miketracy7833]

My two favorite RT guys.

[@Nighthawk-lr9km]

I like this format. One on one with occasional 3rd wheels. Not saying it should replace the usual format for the RT podcast. But if every other or every 3rd podcast was like this I wouldn't complain.

[@azndynomite1277]

As a functioning alcoholic (I drink to aliviate panic attacks), listening to why Geoff quit drinking really motivates and inspires me to stop. I really don't enjoy drinking anymore.

[@brooklyn9400]

The last time I clicked this fast this was Drunk Tank and Geoff was still on it.

[@ReplayStation]

Geoff looks so much happier and rested since he got off the sauce. Big props to him for recognizing a negative pattern in his life and making a positive change.

[@ethandunn3203]

Anybody have any Idea what the "hardware" is they are referring to?

[@FuzeBM]

Ethan Dunn nop

[@NahDontLook]

My best guess is some Halo game before it was released Due to RvB

[@fruit202]

Most likely a debug xbox360 console loaded with a pre release copy of a game.

[@ZedChuva]

I'm assuming it was an Xbox360 dev kit for them to do RvB on using Halo 3. Or not... the 360 was out at that point? I don't know... haha.... time doesn't exist when you get old.

[@blackbeltbap]

thats what I was thinking, but they said it was on a piece of hardware and Jack needed it to work from home. did jack work on red vs. blue? I don't think he ever did

[@freakindinosaur]

This was great. I've had a very unhealthy relationship with alcohol for a while but when I saw Geoff stop drinking, someone whose internet persona is alcohol heavy, it forced me to reevaluate what i thought was really important in my life. I've been wanting to hear him talk about it but never expected him to bc of how personal it is, and it's just very comforting to know that after so many years he was able to stop. "If he can do it, so can I." Other than the alcohol talk, Geoff is so smart and it's just nice to get to really hear him talk for a long period of time like this.

[@smosh8channel]

Love these 2 man podcasts

[@MrDude1198]

I don't often watch the RT Podcast often anymore but I saw Geoff was on and I knew history had been made.

[@MichaNovako]

Goeff on my podcast? It's a miracle

[@fab.devon.comics]

seeing geoff and burnie talk and share laughs makes my heart soar

[@Jaredrealtalk]

This section with Andy aged like milk

[@lastnameawesome8982]

Why

[@MisterAki43]

@@lastnameawesome8982 Probably because he is not hired at Rooster Teeth anymore. They had budget cuts and had to let some people go a while back.

[@kieranoconnor333]

Geoff on the RT podcast... ... I am so happy :)

[@nnnosebleed]

Geoff is like bathing in anxiety during this whole thing. His arms are crossed, his legs are crossed with one foot shaking to hell, occasionally stopping to grab at the foot. Geoff is all of us.

[@chariiteee]

I saw that too!! Poor guy, he's nervous and stressed af. Again, Geoff is all of us

[@SomeRandomGuy164]

Its been a few years since I listened to a RT podcast but I couldn't resist clicking when I saw Geoff. No regrets!

[@licovaladez8773]

At 34:20 Burnie talks about repeating stories on the poscast and then begins to retell his story about being uncomfortable while asking if he needed a colonoscopy at 35:55

[@tvguy551]

hands down best podcast of the year
