The Boy with the Golden Hands - Off Topic #99

[@rainingcab]

Gavin’s story of seeing his grandfather is the sweetest thing I ever heard and I’m glad he told it.

[@loonylenny]

Catherine Byrd that was nice to hear

[@VideoSage]

That story Gavin shared at 33:00 was absolute wonderful. His grandpa dropping his phone, crying to meet his grandson is, so adorable. I would really love more stories like that.

[@notsobrighty]

Golden hands is a straight translation of the Italian saying "avere le mani d'oro" which means that since you have golden hands you turn into gold everything you touch. It means you are good at stuff: my Grandma used to say that when I cooked something tasty, when I gave her a hand massage for her artrites or when I got a good grade at school. It's an affectionate way to say that you have skills in something.

[@hail2tfreeman]

and one of his Golden fingers was inside a cats butthole. is there an Italian saying for that?

[@notsobrighty]

jebblottin92 kinda the opposite XD. I would compare it to Tinkerbell's gold dust: it enchantes all that it touches. It's similar: you have golden hands because the things you make are wonderful. It's said of good doctors, artists or anyone that displays good craftsmanship.

[@6ucket]

It's true tho Gavin basically makes everything worth more money just through proximity

[@Edward-Not-Elric]

Yea, that's what I figured it meant. Obviously if they thought about it for a second they would have figured it out but they wanted to make fun lol. In English I think we just say "They have the magic (or golden) touch"

[@bulletsxdame]

LaSole But he's more of a Humperdoo type of King Midas...

[@Teflondon25]

James Buckley is my favorite guest. He should be in as much stuff as he has time for.

[@shamuslayes3804]

Teflondon25 totally agree

[@adibagus2887]

5 grown men arguing about how to clean shit. Made my day.

[@CButtonshaw]

welcome to Achievement Hunters lol

[@DarkLawYGO]

Ah in a nutshell

[@Drybones898]

When geoff said that he talked to Gavin’s grandpa, instinctively asked, “over skype?”

[@Peter-in4do]

Referencing the commercial Gavin made with his grandpa about Skype

[@UnclePalpy]

Delectable was it actually Gavins Grandad in the advert?

[@Generic-ji2bj]

yes, it had gavin in the advert too :)

[@melomania2637]

Id really enjoy if they had more Buckley in their content.

[@Ares-5933]

Melomania he was in a past off topic as well

[@xX_dash_Xx]

Ohh, British friend!!

[@flclfan85]

*sees Geoff is on the podcast* *sees it's from RTX London* Oh fuck, time for more "Geoff kills an animal with his car" stories lol

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

Surprisingly not much

[@albimoya3461]

Ha instead it's all about shitting in places hahaha

[@robertwolfe5285]

This... is the ideal off topic crew.

[@Deathmeter]

i love the back and forth between gavin and james lmao

[@angelbecca913]

Gavin told a story, got nervous that he actually felt feelings, and then back pedaled to say 'THAT WASN'T ENTERTAINING.'

[@SkywardSpork]

rebecca He's so vested in being an entertainer he probably feels that he has to tell nothing but funny stories

[@pwesto2186]

When Buckley said “I’m jay front the inbetweeners” all I could think of was Andy screaming at an old man “I HAVE A PODCAST”

[@emmetburns]

Preston Collins exactly what I though of as well haha

[@MrThedude77777]

4:29 Damn, that pause he made after "Currently married to." Makes more sense now.

[@GJones_books_photography]

Geoff, Michael & Jeremy: *Complaining about English Toilets* Gavin & James: *Justifying it and complaining about American Toilets* Me: RTX Glasgow anyone?? These guys are gonna go fucking mental. Hahaha

[@devent.6052]

Must have been mind blowing for Gavin to be co-hosting a live event in his home country of England. Wonder if his family was there at RTX.

[@RejectReef]

Deven T. Oh, I hope they were, especially with that ending.

[@qROWDYp]

Buckley definitely wants to join Achievement Hunter

[@loonylenny]

Josh Pryor that would be cool after his professional film career. He fit perfectly.

[@warphenex037]

With how often gavs away from vids, we need a good brit to take his place

[@achizilezone2759]

8:20 James Buckley shows up 13:45 Jeremy show up

[@ctrb]

RTAA @ 1:30:15

[@micknick9089]

Chase Brannon Thank you

[@Dragonofthefrozeneclipse]

THERE WAS A BANANA PEEL! I completely lost it after that... XD

[@BLANKONTOP]

I love you

[@elwachinmanda]

featuring James "Im not a paedophile" Buckley.

[@ajesco]

Only half-way through and this has become one of my favorite live podcasts. Moar Buckley, please.

[@Erdnussbuttertoast]

james buckley fits so well with them. And even more so, it's the sweetest thing ever bc it's so obvious that he's a big fan of them but at the same time they are also all big fans of him!!

[@ThatMattWhite]

Geoff was talking about getting a toilet scrubber at a hotel. Having worked front desk at a resort, let me tell you that nobody would bat an eye. I've gotten calls from people asking for scrubbers, plungers, pretty much anything you can think of. "Yes sir, I'll bring it right up." No questions asked. We always had at least one from the housekeeping department until 11pm, so you could just call down and say "Hey, can you send someone to tidy up my bathroom?" No problem, they're getting paid hourly whether or not they need to clean. After midnight? No problem, I worked night audit and dealt with plenty of situations. We even had maintenance on call 24/7 for anything that couldn't be handled.

[@SkywardSpork]

Matt White I work as a hotel manager, all our rooms have a toilet brush by default (to be fair, we're an independent hotel with only 17 rooms) and I think the boss is so OCD about keeping them clean, they get replaced every 2 months.

[@topher691]

Buckley is such natural edition to the crew.

[@allthehandlesaretaken999]

Gavin giving the beer to Geoff hahahaha :D

[@TheFranky49]

Who's the f***ing cameraman who refused to cut to Gavin's reaction to James' earwax buildup around 54.22 ?! The whole point of showing him was to see Gavin's reaction! CUT TO GAVIN!!!

[@xTearxOfxBloodx]

in italian "having golden hands" ("avere le mani d'oro") means "to be really good at something"

[@DeconvertedMan]

#bringbackragequit

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

Whats your profile picture?

[@BorkKillsOneLegMan]

Michael rage quit rage quit

[@HeadShot-kl8us]

Michael: “Really! somebody pissed and didn’t flush, really!” Me: welcome to any school ever...

[@ryanrosen_]

The "Betty bought a bit of butter" being said by the Scottish man was pry one of the funniest things I've seen in a minute.

[@tonywilliams6294]

Gavin's face after he said the Queen was still alive... Priceless.

[@colourmeclear5307]

I love listening to off topic! Especially since it I'm doing a cross-country road trip and the roads get suuuuuuper quiet and monotonous. Thanks for all the great content. Geoff you're my hero!!

[@MuchDRACO]

"live from austin texas"

[@gunnymcshooty3093]

I almost lost it when Buckley came on stage.

[@efan1304]

episode 100 soon boyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

[@kilseic]

Not sure whether to watch it again even though I was there...

[@KingSolsticeWRX]

Léon Cieslik I would lol

[@kalogio]

This was top! if your looking at the comments to judge if this podcast is worth the view then do yourself a favor and press play. I was thinking about what my off topic dream team would be last week and then it happens, even though i didnt consider the special guest returning but that just made it even better.

[@JoeMazzolaTheFirstPersonCook]

I fucking love Buckley, man, every time he's on Off Topic it jumps into my top 3 episodes.

[@GoldenSun5631]

This is why I love the live episodes, they always end up having the most ridiculous discussions - like talking about shit and it’s still very entertaining. Also, that ending story with Gavin and the cat had me in stitches 😂

[@Elijah-mg7dq]

Gavin, you're totally wrong about the story with your grandfather. It was really sweet and actually entertaining.

[@lobsterkeener]

Buckley really looks like a camp counselor in the 70's that parents told their kids to stay away from

[@rj_ay8172]

_Mothers be aware_

[@ostrichrunner8696]

Buckley looks like a young John Lennon with that mustash.

[@vroombang2234]

Trevor and Alfredo need a two-person sweater.

[@dumbassfetus8830]

Gavins story about his grandpa was amazing

[@iwill4ev422]

Man that raid finale though 😂😂😂

[@warphenex037]

Saltiest video since rage quit

[@CrymsonNite]

the toilet discussion had me in fucking tears

[@rojagreen]

1:26:31 I love moments like these where Jeremy proves why he's Geoff's favourite AH member. Do they have a team name, because they need one.

[@friendlyblackperson]

RED MEDINA team drunk leprechaun

[@jakeknight4541]

God this is one of the funniest AH videos I've seen, I really want to see James in more videos

[@Al3xtheMeh]

So I was listening to the audio version of this and I swear 30 seconds before Geoff mentioned his animal killing stories, I almost hit a deer.

[@TheCMcdProductions]

Jeremy Scott almost hitting a deer doesn’t mean he wasn’t paying attention. How about don’t be a dick next time

[@Al3xtheMeh]

Jeremy Scott dude it was during a thunderstorm with very little visibility.

[@dehvun7]

Jeremy Scott stfu you probably can't even drive he was just listening to the audio it's basically the same as listening to music.

[@timmontez7321]

Love these live off topics

[@mutteringmushroom5103]

Gavin that story was legitimately heartwarming, I loved it.

[@danieljohnson9448]

GAVIN FREE EVERYBODY

[@KlintKaras]

Daniel Johnson Gavin ,free everybody! (Gav has people in cages I guess XD)

[@KlintKaras]

Also if you're minerlad hi Dan haha.(same name as a friend of mine .)

[@vanitylegend3735]

Was mad to watch this there in the flesh irl was so funny

[@thegamingrhino5864]

Vanity Legend in the flesh, in real life XD they're both the same

[@vanitylegend3735]

The Gaming Rhino I know and idgaf

[@flaming910]

The audio was dogshit, thats why I'm rewatching it.

[@ookamimikado4800]

Buckley has the cutest nervous tick of playing with his hair and looking at his feet.

[@SnowWay247]

Geoff: While we're on the topic of shit Jeremy: 'Shakes head in disbelief'

[@lonesomesoldier1929]

Because no one else thought to do it. This is the Scottish tongue twister.1:13:40

[@eli.queerly]

Not all heroes wear capes 👍🏽

[@MrJubalia]

Imagine if James Buckley joined Achievement Hunter.

[@warphenex037]

Hes gavs replacement

[@scottschults]

This is why I miss Geoff being on podcasts. He is an amazing storyteller

[@BubblingkettIe]

Usually I listen to the podcast in the background whilst doing other things but, I've been glued to this since the get go. Wish I'd gone to RTX now! >

[@randiewolfgang6154]

Off Topic Podcast Live from Austin, TX I had no clue London is located in Austin! 😮😂

[@Ps3shwoo]

That Scottish guy was amazing

[@MonaLisaSarcasm]

James Buckley is amazing on offtopic i wish we could see him on it more often

[@duncansteele438]

James Buckley is the greatest.

[@elic5255]

i love that gavin just like, accidentally offered the beer to geoff without thinking because of geoff's fucking "the fuck, dipshit" face i loved it

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

This made me realize... Geoff amimal killing stories are now 90 episodes ago

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

Tellys dead Hes been on for less than 5 minutes (this episode) and i love Buckley

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

23:00 love how jeremy looks over when geoff says "im gonna do a little shipping" like "yes my dreams came true!"

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

32:45 Once again, love you Buckley

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

43:00 geoffs shit story, schlinky

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

43:40 shit to somewhere i never see, fuck you Ireland

[@chaseteel251]

"YOU PEOPLE ARE ANIMALS!!!" fucking killed me.

[@MrMoustacheNinja]

This off topic was great!!! I love when they have James

[@jamescurtis5531]

rip team nice dynamite. confirmed at 35:44

[@Joh447]

geez gavin the moment you said your father dropped his phone and started crying, tears spontaniously welled up :)

[@GeneralN0va]

Anyone else almost get a tear from gavin's story about his grandfather?

[@LittleCheebs]

James Buckley: team therapist. Also Gavin's story about his grandpa was so cute.

[@methuselahhoneysuckle9575]

My cat literally brought live animals into the house. Chipmunks, birds, flying squirrels... fun stuff

[@methuselahhoneysuckle9575]

ok... what does that have to do with anything?

[@lunarisusagi4963]

James story about him shitting himself at home is making me die of laughter I can't fucking deal with this xD

[@AsheL8267]

James Buckley should be an achievement hunter

[@GabePuratekuta]

He could. But I doubt his family would mind uprooting their lives and moving to Austin

[@Konoshy]

Take a look at what has happened to Alfredo. Do you want that to happen to James? Have some mercy.

[@irish_conartist]

So happy to have been there for this, was hilarious

[@LittleArkhan]

1:30:14 The beginning of something beautiful😂😂😂😂

[@VariamBhogal]

RTX London was a blast!

[@lrxmedia2511]

The boy with the golden hands.... Means everything he touches is gold !

[@godxavior]

I wish they could hire Buckley. His average Briton personality is hilarious, it plays so well against Gavin's poshness too.

[@Misophor]

Wondering what video is so bad that Jack actually apologized for it.

[@FourKingSatan]

Probably my favourite off topic episode not gonna lie 😂

[@TheLeroy1981]

Gavin's right, it was Hero turtles.

[@GabePuratekuta]

That's what I found out a long time ago. It's weird they thought sticks attached to chains were worse than the actual blades

[@Frank_Ditch]

Which off topic were Jack and Ryan arguing about the raid?

[@iahpollo8091]

This is 100% the best off topic episode

[@zacharybrown8054]

I love Buckley! Get him in more content please

[@TheRupertLitterbin]

"Live from Austin TX" *is at RTX London*

[@Redflametrow]

Gavin's Grandpa story is legitimately sweet. If Gavin talked about his family in this manner more often, I think the audience would like it.

[@rojagreen]

1:16:03 Gavin totally just killed the Queen.

[@chase9956]

best off topic i've watched to this day holy shit that was funny

[@superdude4464]

Bippster “holy shit” solid choice of words

[@catspajamboree]

30:30 is the start of the golden hands story

[@coreypotter4770]

Who threw the first punch

[@rosshall8067]

This is one of the funniest off topics they've had in a while

[@theZbanana]

Friend!! Football Friend!!

[@gagenelson4735]

That story with Gavin and his grandpa was touching honestly...

[@mintycitrus61]

The Gavin grandfather story was adorable

[@lttrs898]

Saw this Live! RTX London was amazing!

[@ryanstarkweather3625]

had the same thing happen to me just going from my home town to college only and hour and a half drive away.

[@WannabeCanadianDev]

Buckley nailed that impersonation.

[@achizilezone2759]

Gavin going bald allllrrriiggghhhtt

[@ihatepowerrangers]

Cant believe I got to see this in person last weekend. At least now I don't have people shouting over the speaks.

[@moonwukong1024]

Buckley just falls of the stage and chokes on his blood with a pole in his heart and AH is just like "THE CURSE CAUGHT UP"
