Iris meeting Mush the cat is the cutest moment in all the years of Rooster teeth

[@GavinTheImpulsive]

Where? I haven't seen Iris on camera since Michael showed her on his phone.

[@GavinTheImpulsive]

Nevermind! I saw it!

[@hakeemsesay15]

Time stamp??

[@GavinTheImpulsive]

@@hakeemsesay15 About 3-5 minutes in.

[@GavinTheImpulsive]

Or earlier. While they're introducing the cat

[@atlas_vash]

Burnie asking iris if she heard that tumblr banned adult content is probably the funniest thing I've heard on this podcast

[@agentredhead4612]

Iris doesn’t cry nearly as loud as I thought she would. You know, being Michael’s kid and all.

[@joekaput747]

give it time

[@CodeOssyria]

Don't forget she's also Lindsay's child, the wildcard shows herself in mysterious ways.

[@giggityguy]

Jesus Christ Iris is like exactly 50% Michael and 50% Lindsay. I guess there's something to that genetics stuff after all.

[@alanapreziosi9308]

giggityguy she’s gonna yell like Michael and nerd out like Lindsay

[@ave_r_ie]

giggityguy she has Micheals looks and Lindsay’s personality

[@Sonicfalcon16]

And Micheal is suffering

[@supr3m3panda]

Iris is DEFINITELY Lindsay's daughter.

[@lapisleafuli1817]

In a couple years she'll be going into sewers to find cats.

That’s all I could think when she was trying to lock eyes with that cat

[@rnjrgreen8723]

Michael has said were not getting a cat.

[@GBRyker61]

Poor Mush. Trying to figure out what's going on. So funny. And Iris taking an immediate liking to Mush is just too adorable. I'm getting cavities just thinking about it.

[@foxglow6798]

It really is.

[@sintaurii]

Now Michael is going to have both Lindsay and Iris asking for a cat lol

[@ltchugacast131]

saaailor Lindsay is getting the second kid. He’ll have no choice

Five minutes in and this is so sweet that I have diabetes now.

Gavin squealing over baby Iris is adorable

[@warlordgaming7687]

[@slimkickens]

@@warlordgaming7687 pretty sure she means the cuteness is making it hard to not want kids

[@AcidicOrpheus73]

Can we have a "Children of RT" podcast? like Millie, Iris, JD or Teddy and one of Gavin´s cats on the podcast?

[@jaydenrice931]

Gavin is borderline Geoffs son

[@t.c.thompson2359]

Geoff should be there so we could see if she is going to be nice to him or make him depressed.

[@okami-rose803]

Millie is too much of a badass to be on this podcast

[@bigpumpie8078]

Wouldn’t be very entertaining to be honest

Oh Burnie, you're referring to the *_Fitness Gram Pacer Test_*

[@thomascawkwell9445]

I can hear this comment and it gives me the ultimate level of anxiety

[@thisstatementisfalsenothin5312]

The Unfamous -Khalid- K915B *the fitness gram pacer test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues the 20 meter test will begin in 30 second line up at the start* it goes on like that for a bit

[@DavidC-zs5ft]

God the PTSD is setting in

[@abbyholt8850]

I read it in the voice and I got so much anxiety. I have the pacer test.

[@Justsomerandomguy]

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

[@Brad.M.]

This is why I love Rooster Teeth. Its more than just a company. Its a real family.

[@fumblebag8458]

Brad Mitchell weeeeelll sorta. All the on screen talent and their families are close. But they have so many employees now I’m sure there’s plenty of people there where it’s just a job for them.

[@Brad.M.]

@@fumblebag8458 That's true.

[@CodeOssyria]

@@mac2637 are you talking abot Roy?

[@GabbyGoLucky]

31:39 Oh Burnie, we definitely did that god awful "bleep test" here in the US! We call it the Pacer test, though. I remember doing it throughout elementary to high school, and after every 10 laps the cadence/ beep would change to a different sound, like a laser gun or a telephone or a car horn. I tried looking it up and all of them had music in the background. Back when I did it, it was just silence in between each beep, minus the sound of kids booking it across the gym lmao!

[@FullmetalNinja25]

Iris meeting Mush was so cute I had a heart attack and died and am now commenting this from the afterlife.

THAT IS IRIS? JESUSCHRIST... Michael did that... :O

[@thomaswillard6267]

10 years of podcasting, almost 20 years of being a company. Lifelong friendships have been made, and lives have been lost and mourned. Children have been born as a result of people working together. Rooster Teeth isn't just a company, it's a family.

[@LadyViolet1]

31:40 In Oregon (at least in the school district I attended) That was called the pacer test (beeps and all however it was never really called "the beep test" here) and was done in elementary, middle and high school gym classes. For reference of time I graduated from high school last year and am speaking from personal experience only (it could be different elsewhere or changed since)

[@Spicy_mayo834]

Scott Estrada same here. I remember the requirement for the push up test was 80 and not a single person in my gym class passed

[@tenphes3]

For the record, what I believe Barb and Gavin are referring to as a beep test is the “Pacer Test”, which was around when I was a kid 20ish years ago and still in use.

[@sheep4558]

I like how the end with the outro it goes from a calm Gus saying bye to a angry Gus telling at you to buy merch

That acorn story sounds like something I'd hear from my great-grandfather. "Back in my day, we would run with a pocketful of acorns! When you thought you couldn't keep running, you threw the acorn far enough that your hunger would keep you running! We called it Nut Tossing! These young kids with their Nike shoes wouldn't know anything about the 'ol nut tossing!"
