RT Podcast: Ep. 488 - Why Is Gavin Blue?

[@PH1LLZ1LLA]

I hope these episodes never be deleted 🙁 I remember watching these everytime they were released on their site. Definitely miss the old days. Speechless 😶 thanks everyone for sharing your lives and making all of ours pure. I’ll never forget growing up with y’all 💚💚

[@DaxterChan]

I agree wholeheartedly with all of that 😢❤

[@mrcaboosevg6089]

'i was mowing the lawn and a moth got stuck in my ear' I've never been caught off guard so much in my life

[@TorrentTBolt]

Gavin: You know how countries have official animals? Can people? Gavin doesn't know what a furry is.

[@masterofastra]

This comment is underrated

[@waylander_90]

fursona* haha

[@MarkOfTzeentch]

Gavin knows more than you probably.

[@Ice-Climber]

He should ask Nick. He knows all about what goes on, him with Tommy.

[@shanematthews1985]

Except a furry is still a person and not an animal :P

Barbara almost slipped up and talked about Tempurpedic in a podcast sponsored by Casper...

[@euanforbes9510]

Burnie saying he cleans his ears with a garden hose made me actually laugh

[@nicholasachterberg2663]

Kinda agree with gavin,.. mostly a joke. Number one rule of the internet: don't take everything seriously.

[@forsythaj1997uk]

I agree, it's either all okay or none of it is. It's a bit hypocritical for them to say making fun of Zuckerburg is not okay, but then bash Trump endlessly etc. (BTW I think that both can be made fun of).

[@pigpower1189]

forsythaj1997uk i think they need a reason to bash trump but they can laugh at specific policies or aspects.

[@pigpower1189]

Nicholas Achterberg I don’t take your comment seriously

[@nicholasachterberg2663]

If its unfair for everybody. Thats fair right? XP

[@pigpower1189]

Nicholas Achterberg technically yes

[@qthestruggler2715]

Getting bullied is never ok. I’ve experienced it at nearly every stage in my life. From grade school to college, even in the army. Always surround yourself with positive people who care about you and invest in positive uplifting hobbies that you can enjoy and be safe. Spread love and peace, not hate and war.

[@kenacarl6246]

I hate to know someone was ever bullied, but it's always good to see grown adults who not only got through it, but grew enough to get over it and move wayyyy pass it. Theres so much hope, peeps. Keep your chin up. Your loneliness is an illusion. 💕❤

[@IDontDoDrumCovers]

why not change his middle name to something that starts with U coz then his initials will be G.U.S

[@gearoidsheedy2730]

When Gavin said he was bullied it made me incredibly sad

[@Franz.]

Gearoid Sheedy i wonder what effect it had on him. Like is he a nicer person because of it?

[@MarkOfTzeentch]

I think it hardened him up for when he worked in RT.. You think the big nose jokes wuld not have hurt if he wasn't already used to it?

[@grundi18]

Almost everyone in existence is bullied at points in their life, sometimes constantly all their life. To be fair Gavin handles being bullied constantly, I love him for it, but sometimes he literally puts himself in that point in life example 1 hour 12 minutes ish he puts himself in it. He gets teased and taunted daily at his job, and so does Lil J, Angry Michael, the crazy murderous Ryan, Geoff just being bad at games, Jack being boring. None of them are just that, some of them aren't that in the slightest. The most of RoosterTeeth is the organisation of different social "impurities", they act themselves fully a lot of the time, sometimes the hide how they feel but you can feel them be open and honest with how they act when they do. They are lucky to find a job where they can be how they feel instead of a lot of us socially awkward or to open people have to be. I love them, love their company and love the conflict of chaos they create they are.

[@unlisted9494]

Everyone has been bullied at some point.

[@ericpolan1716]

Burnie can sometimes be obnoxious but its overshadowed by how funny he is.

[@colincraig189]

Not sure if this is public information yet or not, but all Starbucks locations will be shut down one day next month for a racial sensitivity"ish" training thing. The CEO also flew in immediately and met with the people that got arrested, and the police department. The manager was also fired

[@snowwolfe]

Lionel Messi asked to leave is one thing, but calling the cops with no confrontation is another

[@Replicatedknight]

The cops were wrong for arresting them without cause. The lady was probably not comfortable confronting them. But who knows all the answers

[@86Wutang86]

snowwolfe that's what you do when you ask someone to leave the property and they refuse they are nothing but entitled children and got people fired because of it.

[@TsunTzu]

snowwolfe - Cops get called for that all the time. Regardless of race. After being asked to leave and refusing, they were effectively trespassing.

[@chickejo]

Colin Craig that's dumb

Just because you have money doesn't mean that you are happy or can ignore attacks on oneself

[@biasedcavsfan302]

Im sure he's wiping his eyes with his $100 bills

[@billz__]

$100 bills that he made selling peoples info to advertisers

[@mrcaboosevg6089]

Most issues in life are caused by money at least for normal people, once that stops becoming an issue life becomes very simplistic... Of course he has social issues, who in his position wouldn't. People like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Richard Branson and such all have their goals be it charities, aerospace and such but Mark Zuckerberg doesn't seem to have a passion for anything

[@KevserFox]

havent watched the podcast yet and reading the title and just thinking "finally they are going to answer the questing ive been asking for so long"

[@Escarabejo_Azul_92936]

Thanks again for coming to EpCon, Barbara!!

[@qwvpv]

I love it when burns and free get into a heated frust

[@Zip_kong]

The employees asked the two men to leave and I said no. So an employee called the police and the video that's gone viral starts about halfway through the encounter. The police officers ask them to leave multiple times and they say no because they were trespassing. There were arrested for trespassing however Starbucks chose not to press charges. I don't know why everyone has to assume it's racist because the dude's happened to be black. It's a very simple law if someone does not want you on their property and you refused to leave you can be forcefully removed or arrested.

[@bryanwoods3373]

Because other people there had been there longer, used the bathroom, and didn't buy anything. It was part of the arguments people were making when asking why the men were being arrested.

[@eighteenYearOld]

Bryan Woods But people could've bought things before the men got there

[@scottreed7312]

Jacob, that is not what eyewitness and patrons say on that video, even if it's started halfway through the event, people are still there not buying anything and wondering why they were not asked to leave or had the cops called on them as well. This is something nobody that defends the manager ever mentions or tries to defend, because there is no defense it crumbles the "trespassing" argument, but yeah, let's all keep cherry-picking facts and ignoring the police commissioner backed away from his original language, stopped backing the manager and apologized to them, the CEO of Starbuck apologized, the eyewitnesses and the friend they met claim the police call was racially bias seeing as other people doing the same thing did not get the same treatment. This is being disingenuous in attempts to defend someone's actions when there is no defense of them.

[@eighteenYearOld]

Scott Reed Source? And even at that they didn't ask to use their facilities, brought their own drinks, and were going to have a job interview.

[@seanfeeney8170]

8 mins in and this is already the best podcast in ages.

[@TomosByrne]

I do have to disagree that the starbucks thing was even remotely racist. They asked to use the toilet, the starbucks staff said they were for paying customers, the two men then sat down and refused to buy anything, when asked to buy something or leave they refused to do either and they even told the manager to call the police. She did so, the police arrived and asked them to leave as they refused to buy anything, they then refused. The police then arrested them and later released them. I don't see any racism here.

[@darrensummer3117]

@58:00 If anyone is curious, Gus is talking about the video from a KZbinr called Rags who called him, Adam, and Alfredo out on that Glitch Please episode where they talked about Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

[@SporkSlayer]

I looked up the Starbucks thing because it didn't sound right to me. What I can tell, the men were in the Starbucks for a while without ordering anything. The manager asked them to leave and they didn't so she called the police. After about eight minutes of arguing, they arrested the two. I don't believe, with the information I have, that racism has anything to do with the arrest. The arrest seems to have been because they weren't cooperating. Although, I found an article that said there have been a lot of similar events in the same neighborhood, but I haven't double checked yet. That said, I wouldn't have asked them to leave in the first place since the Starbucks didn't appear busy and I don't think that they were bothering anyone. But I also would have left if I had been asked to.

[@VagabondJack]

Too logical, Racism makes for a more interesting story

[@hinesvillebass6742]

yep the libs pump it out in droves. and the ameican people eat it up. the 1% of true racism gets no attention but the 99% CNN (fake news ) gets all the attention

[@gd1377]

LP op

[@Bysentenial]

The starbucks situation summarized in bullet points. Wait in starbucks for 20 minutes. Order nothing. Try to use bathroom. Told can't use bathroom unless they're a paying customer. Say they won't buy anything and still try to use bathroom. Asked to leave. Refuse. They are now trespassing so cops are called. Cops arrive and ask them to leave 3 times. Refuse. Arrested for trespassing. Friend arrived.

They are so many false statements in this comment

[@Azzap2001]

Sydney doesn't want to "split up" so to say, we just want have 3 central business districts to relieve pressure on the current existing CBD (Which would be the "Eastern CBD", where the current Sydney you all know and love is). This is mainly because the traffic to get into the city is a nightmare, and a new airport is being built in the West, which will shift jobs and growth to the west and inner west, which will, in turn, lead to 3 CBDs for Sydney. It'll be better for RTX as Sydneysiders theoretically should have easier access to the ICC where RTX is held.

As someone who works for an Airline. Can tell you right away, that many Airlines especially if you are not flying from US, even death in family or passengers may not grant refund or credit if you wont take the flight. But slowly Airlines are fixing their policies with that, so that if proper docs are given than you can get the full refund.

[@darnchacha1632]

Starbucks Policy at the time was to ask people who were not customers to leave during lunch and breakfast hours. I have had to ask plenty of people to leave when I worked as a barista at starbucks. I'm reluctant to just accept this it was racism narrative when the context contradicts that.

I think the scariest diseases are the one we know about but have mutated to where we can't cure them anymore. its a lot scarier when you know exactly whats gonna happen and can't stop it

To Starbucks.. that mutagen is called "being black"

[@timex513]

if person asks you to leave and you refuse you are now trespassing. cops can be called. if they show up and your still there refusing to leave you will then be arrested for trespassing. the key to not being arrested is to leave the property when asked.

I had a bug get stuck in my ear while riding my bike ( it flew into the side of my head ) I was 7-8 years old, and it took 2 hours of me screaming and freaking out for my parents to get a flashlight and look. By then I had been dealing with it biting me and making horribly loud buzzing sounds. At the hospital they yanked out a little black beetle.

[@Mrgamer7281]

If the business doesn’t want someone in their building and they tell them to leave and they don’t, they’re trespassing and the police have to take care of them whether they want to or not cause it’s their job. In case some people think the cops are doing it just cause they’re black or something.

Quiet Place is just a movie built on plot conveniences---characters doing things for the sake of getting into danger.

[@Pir-o]

OK so "The Know" gets legitimate criticism for being... dummies (not to use stronger words) and all Gus can say "I don't care, I don't respond to drama channels" I totally get why Gus gets annoyed when people send him stuff like this but... that criticism was 100% accurate. Thats just ignoring the fanbase when they are sending you a clear message that you messed up. (long story short - The Know got tricked in to fighting for the PC/SJW crew) and by "tricked" I mean they intentionally made a video discussing this "drama" to get views.

They were loitering and trespassing. If you stay in a store for a while without buying anything, a store can kick you out for loitering. They didn't leave, had the cops called on them, and STILL didn't leave, so they were arrested. Race does not play into it.

[@Elunesbigtoe]

After years of watching these podcasts I finally had to downvote one. You can't just call people out for being racist because the people that they legally asked to leave were black. If it had been two females would you have assumed it was sexist? If you want a world where racism doesn't exist then maybe stop assuming everything that happens is due to a persons skin color and not any other factors that you choose to ignore.

[@nathanpapp432]

If the owner or manager of a private property tells you to leave and you refuse, you are trespassing and if the cops tell you to leave and you refuse you will be arrested.

[@hinesvillebass6742]

unless your black either you'll get shot. or you'll get a bunch of money to keep quiet and not call them/it a racist

[@nathanpapp432]

toast this Ya, those 2 guys got shot in that Starbucks, and everybody has kept real quiet about what happened, it's not on every news outlet or a national story. You're an idiot.

[@scottreed7312]

We are completely in the post information age. We will ignore that the commissioner apologized to the two men, the CEO apologized to them and those that were in that Starbucks claimed they were doing the exact same thing and not asked to leave or had the police called on them. We all just take that one fact that being asked to leave and not leaving is trespassing, but ignore all these factors because you already made up your mind. They were not trespassing since they were waiting for someone that showed up before they were arrested, so why defend this point? Oh, yeah you made up your mind and no other facts matter.

Private companies have the right to ask a person or persons to leave the property for loitering if they refuse the request, said company has the right to call police to remove the person/persons from the property. However loitering is not an automatic arrest. From what I heard the group that was removed was detained, which means they are NOT being arrested only being hold until the situation is resolved. And everybody calms down

[@coorslite619]

Gus, welding processes emit IR(heat),Visible,and UV radiation, in quantities of which damage the eyes. you were on the right track.
