[@kurapikafan06]

This week's RT Podcast starring: A beautiful Burnie, two of his foreign foster kids and their weird uncle.

[@LaughingJokerProd]

It's a Christmas gathering~

[@oakley5488]

Thank you for saying Christmas.

[@ClayDress]

Gus is the beautiful Burnie, Gavin and Burnie are the foster kids, and Ellie is the weird uncle. Right?

[@Robin-su6mn]

You are so under appreciated, I actually laughed out loud

[@coregrip1]

Ooh that’s me uncle

[@deltta201]

Ellie siding with Gavin is great because that is the first British person in an RT show to agree with Gavin.

[@spaghe7]

Barbara looks... British.

[@spaghe7]

Burnie looks... Drag.

[@Redstorm1554]

Is that Eddie Izzard's long lost twin!?

[@youtubedrifter5594]

Guardian: I literally guarantee you that only a handful of people even know who Eddie is. Great reference👍

[@jakkuwolfinsomnia8058]

John Paul G she's British Canadian ;)

[@theeviciousbear8263]

John Paul G yeah she does

[@Juju_Miner]

Burnie looking like he's about to fight Dayman

[@timothy1871]

juju miner Is that an always sunny reference

[@JazzCabbageJosh]

aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@DraustTrollbaneUS]

Champion of the Sun?!

[@Scoundrelhours]

juju miner master or karate

[@Scoundrelhours]

juju miner and friendship

[@francisbakininthekitchen2441]

That makeup makes Burnie's eyes pop.

[@youngmal2k682]

Barb doing an amazing impersonation of Gavin and somehow kept it up the entire podcast mad props

[@Nushi1098]

Did Gavin really say Saran Wrap rather than cling film? America what have you done to our baby boy

[@benjaminmaher9629]

Nushi1098 It's not Gavin anymore they've changed him

[@mateovazquez5658]

+Benjamin Maher Our Gavin's growing up. 😂😂

[@travismontgomery1789]

Nushi1098 cling film hahah

[@BethStar11]

Travis Montgomery Thats what it's called.

[@shrimpicus]

It's a film that clings to stuff, can't get more logical than that.

[@shane5919]

I think I’m in love with Ellie...however Burnie with that eye make up though...👀

[@grido1004]

Burnie looks fierce like Rupaul lol

[@kamikage9420]

I can confirm as an Australian, we do say "thanks" at the end of requests and some greetings. One example is "G'day, howzitgoin'?" to which the other person replies "Not bad, thanks."

[@Pavi132]

Did Burnie join My Chemical Romance or something?

[@SPARTAN085B]

Did you not watch it from the very beginning?

[@bobalaska]

pavi yes he did.

[@theoneaboveall1575]

Matt Mannhunter gross.

[@Primal_Aozora]

When I was A YOUNG BOY.

[@SPARTAN085B]

My Father took me into the city,

[@neonfox3]

Oh my god Burnie looks like a retired 80's new wave artist

[@effluviah7544]

RIGHT ROUND BABY RIGHT ROUND LIKE A RECORD BABY

[@tabazail]

And I ran,I ran so far away.....

[@NovaSenko]

I think Ellie needs to do some voice acting work. Her voice is delightful

[@ThatAlexGuyIST]

It's good to see Nightman got a job at Rooster Teeth after being defeated by Dayman

[@jaredvandyke2640]

Is it just me or does Burnie look like cib's dad

[@stonie3216]

I’ve been waiting this see Ellie on the podcast for so long 🙌

[@Creddz69]

Stonie 321 yeah, her on the duo podcast was great.

[@nuwalk1752]

Can we start a poll to have Ellie be the permanent replacement for when barb isn't available?

[@Haunted_Gallows]

Can she just replace Barb in general? She's pleasant to listen to. She doesn't have Barbs grating nasally voice, that being the biggest among many other reasons.

[@Haunted_Gallows]

Bill Birsay Brandon and Barb both need to stay far away from the Podcast

[@Haunted_Gallows]

Bill Birsay I like Barb too. She seems like an awesome person and she's hilarious. But her nasally voice is so grating, especially compared to Ellie, who has the voice of an angel. And yeah, that's my position on Branden as well. No one can be that stupid. It has to be an act, and it's more annoying than it is funny.

[@Haunted_Gallows]

Bill Birsay Maybe it's just that he isn't good at articulating himself? Like, he knows what his point is, but he doesn't know how to convey it in a way that makes sense in verbal conversation. He HAS to be a smart guy. Rooster Teeth doesn't really hire idiots. Most, if not all of them, have college degrees from a really reputable school.

[@fufufuaru]

+Lord Infomershal I would very much like that as well. Sorry Barb.

[@Imdxle]

Ellie is my favourite human

[@immortalsun]

She is a pretty good human.

[@ethanmarquardt9981]

Shes a great hooman

[@san6287]

Ellie looks like she could be the main character in a disney movie I mean that in a good way of course xD

[@jackroxable]

Ally Sen Like the female version of the hunchback of Notre Dame

[@Wabajak13]

jackroxable way to turn it around

[@mateovazquez5658]

+jackroxable I wonder, could they even do that? A lady Quasimodo?

[@DrDigDown]

I mean, Disney covers a pretty wide range of movies nowadays. Pixar? Marvel? Star Wars?

[@san6287]

yea I was thinking more like Disney princess area lmao I should have been more specific

[@austinsmith675]

I miss when they used to put the links of stuff they talk about in the description

[@CWINDOWSsystem32]

It's in the Link Dump on the RT Site.

[@austinsmith675]

CWINDOWSsystem32 damn now I look a fool

[@JesterRoll]

It's about that time for someone to ask Burnie to prepare the 2017 Greatest Hits Podcast! We all know he is a huge fan of that.

[@scottackerson7634]

Translation: Ellie cools out gavin

[@lifeiscrap103]

All of these play on word comments make life worth living.

[@ZHL242]

Wait he just looks like regular Gavin when did he switch to Gavin X

[@SiSoyElTacoDeMexico]

ZHL242 it's an upgrade when you buy an IPhone X

[@brimstonec4298]

Now gavin can run memories in 4k

[@wu8183]

This is an underappreciated comment.

[@nickbernard870]

the x is a kiss like they talked about

[@zuthgamer]

I legit read this title and thought "oh gav or ellie wrote the title!" cause its not just england, whole of UK do it x

[@Pixlriffs]

I'm no scholar, but I think J *was* one of the last letters to arrive in the Latin alphabet. Remember that scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where he almost dies because he forgets Jehovah was spelled with an i? The letter J just didn't exist in that era. Julius Caesar's name would most likely have been spelled 'Iulius'. Romans also didn't have the letter U for the longest time - they used V instead. Hence the band CHVRCHES.

[@Nilruin]

Correct. "J" and "U" were added last to the Latin Alphabet. Before this, V's were pronounced as U's or just not pronounced at all, (if they were at the beginning or end of a word, i.e - deus vult), and J's were pronounced as Y's, like in "yes" or "yeet" (some of the time), the rest of the time they would've been pronounced as a J, like in the name Julius. Julius Caesar's full name was Gaius Julius Caesar, which, at the time, would have been written as, "GAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR". It would've been pronounced exactly as we would pronounce it verbally, but it would've been written drastically different, because the letters that we would've used to write it wouldn't have been invented yet.

[@unkown559]

So I've been a fan since about 2012, 5 years and I've never noticed how pretty Burnie's eyes are

[@Dielawn69]

...

[@zackbarnes1832]

Ahhh, moderately classic RT content.

[@lextrueno]

Bernie with eye make up and Ellie on the show? This is a Christmas miracle.

[@amaan2635]

42:18 killed me 😂😂

[@erinbates1]

Canadian 2am food (or at least Ottawa) is poutine. Nothing better than stumbling out of a club and getting a large poutine from a sketchy, cash-only van.

[@SkywardSpork]

Katrina McNabb If you want one, you have to be absolutely slaughtered to enjoy it, unless you know where that "One good Kebab shop" is in your city then you can enjoy it sober

[@p0rcu1p1n3]

In Alberta we do donairs

[@Oronjalllo]

Wish smokes was open 24/7. Live the chicken ranch bacon poutine

[@erinbates1]

Jonathan Barlow ugh same

[@BrawlMansion]

In Montreal it's late night shwarma

[@bartholomewoobleck3197]

Jesus, Ellie looks gorgeous.

[@NeoSharkk]

Whaddya bout Burnie?

[@lEGOBOT2565]

I never learned that holding a finger up was considered rude I was taught that the hand was more rude

[@Dielawn69]

The hand implies stop and the finger implies one sec or one minute, which the people usually whisper. The hand is way more rude to me.

[@lEGOBOT2565]

I'm the same

[@aaronweir474]

pelleman02wb i think it’s always a combination of body language and expression. However each method is represented can really change whether it’s rude or respectable

[@zebry13]

Burnie's make up is making me feel things I've never felt before.

[@LadyStarDaze]

Ellie's voice is so soothing

[@DaSimsNetwork]

KFC's Canada site for months had been hijacked and when you clicked on the to go to your cart/order would open a spoof site, that looked identical to the real one. This went on for over 6 months after showing a local manager this and emailing the company. I wonder how many ppl had their info stolen over that time.

[@debugempty]

I feel bad for people who fall for scams.

[@samgrant0795]

Like I know this is late but kfc in Canada has a website you can order food on?

[@trustinwright7536]

42:18 worst question Gavin could have asked

[@markstephan5492]

Gus is slightly wrong the total debt of the UK is around 1.4 Trillion and of that around 2.5 billion is from the south sea bubble. It's still crazy to think that a financial failure from 300 years ago is still being paid off today.

[@WhosTristan]

got a crush on ellie

[@SC-hj3hq]

Tristan Francis boi we all do

[@MrLemory29]

Please have Ellie on the podcast more often she is awesome.

[@iquemedia]

Oh my god Ellie has played Everything that game is so good

[@justinmoodie9001]

I use one finger as a way of saying “one second” rather than “I disrespect you and your values”

[@effluviah7544]

This might be a regional thing. I'm from the South (USA), and in my experience, the "one finger" method gets an ass whippin'. Never really thought about it until right now, but I myself have had my ass beaten for absent-mindedly forgetting to politely use my full hand to ask someone to wait a moment. I don't know why we're like this, or where that comes from, but it's definitely a thing at least for some of us. Never realised there were people that would tolerate having a finger shoved in their face-- But I also can't really identify why I find it so deeply offensive. Huh! This is like the standing to pee vs. sitting to pee thing all over again.

[@foofung3876]

Me too. I thought holding a hand up was worse, but idk....

[@justinmoodie9001]

effluviah idk I feel putting one finger beside your own face signifies “hold on a second” as opposed to putting a finger up to their face to say “shut up for a moment”. Like you said maybe it’s a regional thing.

[@carlistar27]

It also depends soooo much on the face made. Can be extremely apologetic, just saying one moment politely, or the rudest thing

[@fatty1040]

The finger definitely seems more douchey. I think its because most people associate the finger as "Be quiet" but like to a child. So its like calling them a baby and being "too important" while doing it.

[@MrSteginator]

"weigh a stomach that's full, then divide that by a cow" 30:40

[@ornamentalboxes]

To start with Burnie's make-up looked so obvious to me... but at minute 40 I can barely notice it, it's become the norm, he would look weird without makeup now, yes your blue does pop Burnie, congratulations

[@carnis7327]

I feel the need to start watching the podcasts from ep. 1 to now and I did the math, so I'd have to put aside a month of my life to watch all podcasts IF I watch them 24/7

[@Pwnstarrunner]

Gus' identity just got stolen. They have him on voice saying yes and his credit card info.

[@joacimunicorn]

Yeah, I'm Swedish and my grandfather was in and out of hospital for about a year before he finally passed away. The only thing he was charged was a few ambulance fees, until högkostnadsskyddet (high cost protection?) kicked in. In Sweden we literally can not pay more than $110 per year for healthcare. The state has us covered above that. We can only get charged for staying at the hospital for multiple days, but that fee can legally not be over $10/day. I broke my leg a few years ago and I payed around $20. Burnie is right about us paying for it with taxes over the course of our working lives, but it's so much better to do it this way. It's such a shame that Americans are so terrified of anything that could be connected to socialism because of cold war propaganda. If you let the state pay for healthcare and education, the COMMIES WILL WIN! Also, our income tax is not 60% as Burnie said, a regular person would pay ~30%

[@PurpleEle82]

19:30 busted, 27:00 crème brûlée, 37:00 Ellie's burn, 39:29 Gavin sounds so concerned, 41:30 the cut to Gavin, 42:18 moving, 44:10 I spell colour with a u just bc I like the way it looks better than without the u, 48:38 kisses, 1:15:20 stunts, 1:20:00 Lil J, perhaps they could do Ellie's Vlogs..? I reread the title for this and now I get it.

[@frozenpine1781]

Gus’s little giggle during the Blue Apron ad read was so genuine.

[@adamd5849]

We need more Ellie

[@fufufuaru]

ellie is like the cool firstborn doing amazing things and her parents are proud of her, while gavin is that second child who flops around and somehow survives, but his parents love him anyway because at least they can laugh about him.

[@SnappilyJosh]

Are you telling me people don't the difference between upside down and backwards? Before someone says they could mean the same thing depending on the situation, in Gavin and Meg's context it is not the same thing.

[@coolwhiprofl]

Joshua Snapp of course people know the difference. She messed up and didn't want to own up to it and her followers obviously took her side because they thought she was right or because they thought it was fun.

[@SnappilyJosh]

coolwhiprofl good point, but don't underestimate the lack of unimportant knowledge people have

[@TheMharr]

Joshua Snapp Its all relative. If you have a piece of paper with writing on it facing away from you, you'd say that the paper is upside down, but you wouldn't turn it over you'd just rotate it. I guess Meg ust had an idea as to what the 'correct' orientation of the ice tray was.

[@dereckpoirier1992]

Okay so the "debate" Burnie referred to was about an ice tray's orientation? I don't understand I've been away too long!

[@billyclabough9835]

Ellie is now on list of must watch hosts: Gus, Gavin, Barbara, Burnie, Ellie.

[@tuckersimmons4950]

Ellie is the Elyse of Roosterteeth

[@Eorzat]

Except that Elyse is the Elyse of Roosterteeth...

[@ienzio7795]

Tucker Simmons But Elyse is part of RT

[@tuckersimmons4950]

Nah she's FH main, Ellie is RT main

[@TheBigDean18]

No Barbara is the Elyse because she's Canadian...

[@Robin-su6mn]

One of my favorite comments “y’all telling me I’m stuck in the 90’s, the 90’s are stuck in you”

[@blackcat3122]

Yes finally Ellie’s on

[@HealingandHarm]

Nothing makes me more happy as an Englishmen then seeing Americans and British people talking together and getting confused by small things like "uni" curry chips and just hearing everyday things in different ways, plus I LOVE Gavin and Ellie

[@DemonVizarack]

Tikka masala was invented in Glasgow scotland

[@andreww2098]

Balti was first made in Birmingham

[@bifftop_johnny]

Ellie is just wonderful. I was lucky enough to meet her in Toronto at Fan Expo and she is just as lovely in person. So friendly and personable

[@jein8171]

burnie looks like adam lambert

[@jmatson2929]

Ellie should definitely be on more podcasts one of my favorite personalities since coming to RT

[@rileyjarvis5849]

Ayyy. Shout out to Bournemouth. England is my city

[@burtyjr]

Riley Jarvis Where did they mention Bournemouth? I live there, don't wanna watch the whole podcast though.

[@Fidgottio]

Burty Jr Ellie said she went to uni there

[@burtyjr]

Fidgottio Holy... I'm going to the same uni as Ellie. I might touch the same ground she once walked on.

[@BlackSheepDream]

As a Canadian it's scary to think that I would have to pay thousands for a pain in my stomach that turned into a appendectomy within 24 hours. I never thought about leaving the hospital without a bill is normal in the US, our biggest trade partner.

[@Nummie]

Happy festivus !

[@connorduquette1432]

1:09:13 is definitely one of my favorite moments in a while.

[@fluffytoaster427]

Confirmed: Burnie doesn't sleep

[@duece08]

24:37 it was at this moment gavin and ellie became besties

[@GibbsGibbsGibbs94]

Ellie was a really good addition to this podcast, it would be great if she replaced barb

[@goldentopaz]

as always gus is on point with those segways to ads makes me want to buy blue apron but then i remember im Canadian lol

[@Midwesttroglodyte]

Burnies eyes really pop

[@LinksGamingCorner]

The whole cannibalism thing is hilarious. All I can think about is that Burnie is training Ellie to be his bodyguard for the apocalypse, and yet...what if it ends up just being him and Ellie alone, and Ellie gets hungry, and there's no food? ;) Who protects Burnie from his protector? ;)

[@LittleCheebs]

Burnie looks like Ellie's divorced mom.

[@LittleCheebs]

Also Ellie is beautiful!

[@hxpers]

That's one of Gus's best transitions into an ad read I've seen so far.

[@NotRJ001]

I feel like that Gavin and Ellie low-key enemies for some reason.

[@monkaeyes3417]

MEME TIME battle for number one Brit

[@nathangroom4442]

Because Ellie is replacing Gavin as Burnies pet Brit

[@DeltaPictures]

1:29:02 You're talking about The Ultimates. Part of the Ultimate Comics universe, which, as you said, is a retelling of the Marvel Universe.

[@JointedSpagel]

I personally feel Christmas isn't a Christian thing anymore. It's a family thing. I'm atheist and I still celebrate.

[@MrAwsome697]

to me holding up the finger like on a call or something is like, "just a second"

[@madisoncroft2056]

Do they talk about the Infinity War Trailer at all? Haven't watched yet so I'm just wondering.

[@Hickspy_]

Spoiler alert for the trailer. There's a war.

[@raezkazan3155]

Yo Burnie. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap on General. Tap on Reset, you'll have to scroll all the way to the bottom. Tap on Reset Keyboard Dictionary. Type in your password when prompted. You'll only get this step if you have a password enabled. Tap on Reset Dictionary in the popup menu to confirm you'd like to reset the keyboard dictionary.

[@MrTrueFury]

Took me over 2 seconds to realise why the x was there and I am disappointed with myself (I have already seen the episode on the website)

[@tylerhobbs7653]

MrTrueFury I haven't, what's going on?

[@HeroOfJusticeYT]

.

[@chaoticnachos380]

why is the X there

[@unkown559]

MrTrueFury wait why is it?

[@james2155]

Because it’s the kiss thing they kept talking about x

[@bobman4395]

The worst part of the tax bill is all the finical aid for college students will count as taxable income. So student who got a scholarship for a free ride to college, that amount of money they got off for tuition, will count as taxable income.

[@mattthomastelford1188]

Yes you can get in trouble for saying Merry Christmas, even fired. I worked at a grocery and my manager told me not to, and thankfully didn't push back when I told him I was going to continue saying it. I don't have a problem if someone says "happy holidays" to me, but I say Merry Christmas.

[@joekaput747]

I wouldn't have a problem if a) someone said Merry Christmas to me and it didn't sound like he/she was making a point about it, and b) I said it to someone, and that person turns back around and says "thank you for saying that", to which I would also back track, or say happy holidays, and someone flips out.

[@leeroy2461]

Matt Telford for me it’s just a habit thing I mean If I could switch to happy holidays I would but I just cant it’s been too long

[@scottmccoy22]

The X conversation is hilarious. And amazing I never knew anything how about it.xxx

[@groganst]

Gavin doesn't know what white pudding is?? He's been in Texas too long 28:00

[@BethStar11]

Mega Grogan I have lived in Scotland most of my life and lived for five years in England. I didn't know what white pudding was.

[@ReferoRhys2k7]

To be fair, I'm Welsh and lived here all my life and never heard of white pudding.... Don't think it's all common tbh xx

[@slimefudge]

Love that Gus's pun didn't come through "They didn't have to worry about the pilots taking off" 16:08

[@clairebleh1756]

Burnie looks so pretty !_!

[@syrus4748]

Nothing like a snack pack at 2am when ur drunk AF

[@luckylegs8547]

[@CPoLofVancouver]

We use the Latin alphabet and Arabic numerals, guys. Come on.

[@ZeldaNerd137]

I love hearing Ellie and Gavin talk about British stuff like the texting thing. Blew my mind lol

[@bigboychris446]

Why's there a small x?

[@Luxe883]

You'll find out why

[@bigboychris446]

Luxe guess I gotta watch the podcast now lol

[@qwontin7869]

Ellie and Gavin are a great podcast duo... More of them plz

[@CrestFarms]

happy holidays is ok to say but what annoy's me is seeing Christmas trees in the store labeled as holiday trees.

[@abruptfury9920]

now that's bad. what other holiday uses em? lol

[@aslonz5308]

I'm not a native English speaker. I say that because I also find colour makes more sense.

[@babyitscoldoutside2]

Barb's great, but can she stick with always open and have Ellie replace her on this podcast?

[@BethStar11]

The nhs does still use leeches. It is for flaps(when the move a bit for flesh/skin to cover a wound) to get the blood circulation working again. I seen it on a nursing placement it was pretty cool. Xx

[@GregPivo87]

No one puts baby in a 🌽er

[@tabazail]

Cloacardashian Now your just being 🌽y

[@francisbakininthekitchen2441]

I love having Ellie on the podcast!

[@tsonny1104]

Burnie looks like Jack Sparrow

[@Wolfinsomnia]

The Thor comics are based on the mythology but not at all accurate to the original source material. Plus in the comics, it's not really an explanation of the afterlife. For a very basic understanding of one interpretation of Norse mythology i recommend reading Neil Gaiman's book North Mythology.

[@haydeos5345]

of course I love Barb...but Ellie definitely podcasts better

[@redgold1660]

Its frowned upon to say Merry Christmas where I work. But everyone always tells me to have a Merry Christmas.

[@yadashiyoru]

[@sleepyaxolotls]

GIVE ELLIE A SHOW
