Yes, Joey was very firm and decisive there, immediately swapped the mic to the other hand when the man reached for it and put up his guard by crossing his leg.

yea basically everyone was talking how awesome and great garnt reacted but honestly... it doesn't seem like the guy would have stayed otherwise. they were all professional of coures but the guy basically left on his own after he realised no one would talk to him. as you can see at first joey even said something similar to get up or sth. don't know why garnt gets all the credit when they reacted all very calmly and professional. one guy that was upvoted even said "now we know who is the mature one"... like that doesn't make any sense at all...

[@temporamen]

The boys even said something about this that I wholeheartedly agree with: These conventions know internet celebrities are big, but they don't grasp the fact they're sometimes irl celebrity level of famous. It's easy to grasp...idk Ryan Reynolds needing security, but for the cons they sometimes think 1 mil+ subs equals c-list irl celeb at most.
