Coming back to this on the day that Rooster Teeth's website officially shut down (roughly just two hours ago if I got my timezones right). I don't know if this was the first episode of the podcast I ever listened to, but it's definitely the first one I remember listening to. I was 16, and I still remember slacking off in IT class and getting caught by my teacher because I was laughing too much. Now I'm turning 24 next month. Thanks Rooster Teeth, for being there.
+Chris Tapia tbh I think its because we still see him as a fan who's on the podcast, so nervous and second guessing himself, he's the embodiment of a fan who's without the anonymity of the internet to give them confidence, he has to be himself, because that's all he can be, and just hope that he's accepted
All of them. Literally all of them. He would segue perfectly into every ad read. It'd be easier to tell you a bad segue from him because there would be less.
DDnufcGamer That's kind of like saying "We gave slaves housing, who's the real slave owner now?" We treat dogs like family members usually, but there is a reason animal rights are not as big of an issue as human rights.
Jason King I mean it depends who you ask, animal rights are becoming more and more important to most first world countries. My comment however was a reference to a Seinfeld joke. When he asks who aliens would think is the boss of the planet.
in the grand scheme of things, I haven't watched "a lot" of the RT podcasts but I personally find Chris very entertaining and a fun replacement on the RT podcast
Since Barbara is Canadian, I assume she knows some french. And since she loves puns, here is a french pun. I will provide a translation that does not make sense in English. Comment appellez vous un chien qui vendre des drogues? Un pharmaCHIEN. "what do you call a dog who sells drugs? a pharmacist". Chien is dog in french, and pharmacien is pharmacist in french. You are welcome.
1:05:20 Burnie told that story 2 years ago or longer. I don't remember which episode though but he has 100% told that story before a very long time ago.
I love Gus, but I'm always excited when he isn't on the podcast, because I look forward to the amazing segues for the ad reads. **Edit**: I was dumb and wrote "segways" instead of segues. Fixed it.
Using enough material to ensure destruction of all species or humans on earth would be vastly inefficient to just pushing a rock slightly, with the right calculations it doesn't take much force. The kinetic energy gained by pushing it toward the sun and earth is massive.
A nuclear reaction while powerful, its still a relatively focused area compare to the surface area of the earth, besides, it still requires being pushed towards earth. And then its more delicate than a rock and it has to enter the atmosphere. Also the speed of the rock gaint by falling toward the sun is important since 0.5*Mass * speed^2 = kinetic energy so speed is exponential energy. In 2028 there's a mile long asteroid that's going to pass really close to Earth, if that was to be redirected a tiny bit, it would hit with the force of 1million megatons. The Tsar bomb (the largest nuke on earth ever) was only 50 megatons.... Either way rocks requires simple NUDGEing a few rocks to pepper the Earth, rather than manufacturing nukes which are more susceptible to being destroyed by a defending planet. Shooting it even, or just nuking the nuke.
About violent reactions to cute animals, I read somewhere that it's because the brain has a strong emotional response to cuteness, but the part of the brain responsible for those emotional reactions can only respond with violence, since it has no proper response to cuteness. So you want to squeeze and bite cute animals because it's so cute the human brain malfunctions
Our brains have no proper response to cuteness? Is...is that true? I mean, there is a whole culture in Japan centered around cartoon cuteness marketed to many age demographics. Their response to cute cartoons (anime) doesn't seem very violent, but maybe you're talking about a basic reaction towards an object or living thing that our brains see as adorable.
+barbaro267 Well, sort of. It juast means that when we have an extreme reaction to cuteness, it's similar to our reaction to something we want to hurt, in a weird sort of way. I'm not sure at all since I just heard it from a random persom, so feel free to do some fact-checking
So I used to watch RT Podcast on a weekly basis, but then I kind of fell off and this is the first one I've watched in about a year. I'm so glad PUNklemen is back in full force for my first visit back to RT in a long time!
Honestly my biggest question about what would happen if Aliens arrived on Earth is HOW we'd talk to them, think about it, most of our language is based on human experience. If they had no fingers or hands imagine how many words wouldn't make sense to them. That's if we'd even understand each other in the first place
I feel like science (like atoms, electrons, elements) is universal. Even if we don't speak the same language that could be the basic form of communication. I got this from a TV show
***** I mean you can't really say "hand me that" or any other words that evolved as a result of us having hands. Like if they never had arrows the whole arrow symbol would make no sense to them
Literally the only effective way to communicate would be through math. But even then there might be a lot of headache to figure out what they mean because they might use different mathematical conventions than we do. For example, we use base 10 because we have 10 fingers, but maybe they organize their number systems differently. So binary would probably be the easiest and most effective way to communicate. But even then, how might you communicate that to an alien race that might be similar to torchbugs and communicate to each other through complex patters of infrared light they emit and direct towards a specialized infrared receptor organ? What if they don't communicate through atmospheric air vibrations like we do? My biggest problem when it comes to alien discussions is people assume aliens will exist in such a way that will be easily understandable and verifiable as intelligent life. People project humanity on aliens far too much.
From Greg Kinnear's Wikipedia: Kinnear became the creator, co-executive producer and host of Best of the Worst, which aired from 1990 to 1991. The show was cancelled thanks to *Rooster Teeth's Burnie Burns*. That's why I LOVE the internet :)
that gnawing on the cute things bit is actually a reaction. your body doesn't know how to handle the cuteness so you want to squeeze it till it stops. the biting is the same thing, you dont know how to handle something cute
I never get why people like tiny 'teacup' dogs. A lot of the time their eyes look like they're puffing out, they don't shut up, they have the most annoying bark etc. I see them everywhere now, what happened to normal sized dogs? xD
Teh Gamer Girl if you like the dog it's fine haha. I'm just not a fan of the (very) small dogs. Just have to watch out, as others have said they can have plenty of health problems.
+cerebral23 they do live in Austin so I wouldn't be surprised if most of them were hardcore libtards, especially the younger ones. Just to be clear I don't support trump but I sure as hell don't support Clinton. I just hate it when they overdramatize it like " Trump is the most racist man ever! WALLLLLL! Booo hooooo!" " I couldn't name you one of his policy's but I know he's evil and Hillary is good"! I just can stand people like that.
At the beginning when Blaine said, where's the bottle opener, and Gavin said you mean the whistle, and the. Everybody started talking about the whistle was hilarious at half speed
its interesting to see burine talk about how films from before the 80s are Utopian and after are distopian because i wrote about that very subject for my final essay for second year at university
When they started talking about the martian, I paused the podcast, watched the whole film (as I hadn't seen it but wanted to) then resumed playing just so it wasn't spoiled for me

A Blaine podcast is a good podcast
He's so self conscious but he's definitely the best option to be on this podcast when someone is missing
+Chris Tapia That's what I like about hom. He's really genuine.
+Chris Tapia tbh I think its because we still see him as a fan who's on the podcast, so nervous and second guessing himself, he's the embodiment of a fan who's without the anonymity of the internet to give them confidence, he has to be himself, because that's all he can be, and just hope that he's accepted
UA-cam where all the densest people hangout
A Blaine Podcast is the ONLY Podcast.
The Burnie segways are so good goddamnit
They're pretty good but Tyler Coe on Sportsball had the best segue of all time
care to share this segue? I'm not that into sports, so I never watched it.
All of them. Literally all of them. He would segue perfectly into every ad read. It'd be easier to tell you a bad segue from him because there would be less.
Burnie is the segway master
+SSJ6999 is it segue?Always thought is was a segway just like the scooterthings..
Gavin's Uber driver farted? Imagine if he had a hula dancer doll in the car too.
I get that reference
triggered
He might be on gawker...
Did you just...
I feel TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!
"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." - John Lennon
The day has finally come, I've gone through every RT podcast on youtube. What an entertaining year it has been. Suppose I'll have to get a job now.
Na look up the old Drunk Tanks. Thats like 150 more podcasts with Geoff.
They actually gave me this whole podcast as an ad. That's the longest ad I've ever had.
Imagine if there was no skip button...
"Why would aliens be so violent toward us?"..... "Tea cup puppies are cute." "Isn't that cruel to the dog?" "I don't know. I don't care."
That is why.
We clean a dogs poop, who's the real leader? xD
DDnufcGamer That's kind of like saying "We gave slaves housing, who's the real slave owner now?" We treat dogs like family members usually, but there is a reason animal rights are not as big of an issue as human rights.
I'm sorry dude, but until a dog can give me surgery and issue me my paychecks I don't think I'm going to give them the light humanity needs.
+Blue Bepi I've seen a small child ride on the back of a german shepard once
Jason King I mean it depends who you ask, animal rights are becoming more and more important to most first world countries.
My comment however was a reference to a Seinfeld joke. When he asks who aliens would think is the boss of the planet.
can Blaine be the only replacement if someone is missing
Chris needs to be the host. He's a genius.
everyone's out and it's just Blaine sitting there talking to himself
+Thatguyuknow2550 Best podcast would be Chris, Zach, James willems and blane
in the grand scheme of things, I haven't watched "a lot" of the RT podcasts but I personally find Chris very entertaining and a fun replacement on the RT podcast
What if Blaine isn't available?
Burnie's segue ways are so boss
bud segue already has the 'way' sound in it
It's all about the way you segue.
Lawrence's a far smoother but Burnie is better than Gus.
Since Barbara is Canadian, I assume she knows some french. And since she loves puns, here is a french pun. I will provide a translation that does not make sense in English.
Comment appellez vous un chien qui vendre des drogues? Un pharmaCHIEN.
"what do you call a dog who sells drugs? a pharmacist".
Chien is dog in french, and pharmacien is pharmacist in french.
You are welcome.
😂😂
.... Nobody in Canada cares about speaking French except for people in Quebec
+ÁUß Code she does
Sir BigWater How do you know?
A small portion of Canadians speak French you know
Blaine is amazing on podcasts, I would love if they made him a regular and started doing 5 people podcasts
Burnie always does these good ad takeaways and Gus is just like "Shutup I'm going to read this now.". They are both great
1:05:20 Burnie told that story 2 years ago or longer. I don't remember which episode though but he has 100% told that story before a very long time ago.
Yeah so it's a great story
good stories get told. awesome stories get told again.
+Bryan Wright Triggered much? None of the above comments said that it was a bad thing that it has been told before..
Has anyone managed to find a recording of the radio show or the actual show?
Bryan Wright yes. i tell multiple stories many times cause friends always ask me to tell it to someone else. duh, Mr. Bryan "boring" Wright
please someone make a compilation of all of Burnie's segues!
Imagine if they monetized it
QUICK! SOMEBODY CALL HEMBOHERO!
HEMBO! We have a new mission for you!
I love Gus, but I'm always excited when he isn't on the podcast, because I look forward to the amazing segues for the ad reads. **Edit**: I was dumb and wrote "segways" instead of segues. Fixed it.
the way burnie says 'whabump' at 40:09 gives me so much joy
Burnie has the best transition of all time to that blue apron commercial
18:11 fantastic segue by Burnie Burns!
22:10 Barbara has told this story on various podcasts 4 times now
Burnie also told that story about Dal and the Cow counting story a few times before too.
+Harrison Bowman yeah I noticed that too lol
Really? I didn't remember hearing that but I did remember the face fart.
+Harrison Bowman Don't forget the whole, "sex on the moon rocks", bit.
am i the only one who thinks that the way RT and AH do ads is one of the best things ever. especially when they point it out like Michael on off topic
If Aliens want to attack us from far away... aint gunna be no nuke, just gotta push a big rock.
Using enough material to ensure destruction of all species or humans on earth would be vastly inefficient to just pushing a rock slightly, with the right calculations it doesn't take much force. The kinetic energy gained by pushing it toward the sun and earth is massive.
A nuclear reaction while powerful, its still a relatively focused area compare to the surface area of the earth, besides, it still requires being pushed towards earth. And then its more delicate than a rock and it has to enter the atmosphere. Also the speed of the rock gaint by falling toward the sun is important since 0.5*Mass * speed^2 = kinetic energy so speed is exponential energy.
In 2028 there's a mile long asteroid that's going to pass really close to Earth, if that was to be redirected a tiny bit, it would hit with the force of 1million megatons. The Tsar bomb (the largest nuke on earth ever) was only 50 megatons.... Either way rocks requires simple NUDGEing a few rocks to pepper the Earth, rather than manufacturing nukes which are more susceptible to being destroyed by a defending planet. Shooting it even, or just nuking the nuke.
18:08 The look on Burnie's face as he's about to commit to yet another classy segue.
Blaine, screw the people who don't like you, you're funny and nice and I love you :)
I also love barb, and gavin.
And burnie too :)
I love all of em.
When Barbara said, "Did he come back and say are you bready to order?", I immediately gave it a thumbs up!
That whole counting cows for the government has got to be made into an RTAA
Best blue apron ad read ever! Of all time.
About violent reactions to cute animals, I read somewhere that it's because the brain has a strong emotional response to cuteness, but the part of the brain responsible for those emotional reactions can only respond with violence, since it has no proper response to cuteness.

weird

Ummm... I'm pretty sure that's how a psychopath's brain works, but for the rest of us? Not so much.
35 min in, this is already a legendary podcast. Good work!!!
That Blue Apron segue was so smooth, I felt I just had a milk bath.
segue. nobody's riding a segway around in this particular podcast.
Thanks for the correction. No excuse for that. Edited it for what it's worth.
+Serks Cz Everything is worth nothing
I always love the podcasts with Blaine
I am praying that they make an rtaa of Burnie's story with Dal 😂
So I used to watch RT Podcast on a weekly basis, but then I kind of fell off and this is the first one I've watched in about a year. I'm so glad PUNklemen is back in full force for my first visit back to RT in a long time!
Last time I was this early they were talking about getting a new podcast set
Bring back podcast let's plays!
Honestly my biggest question about what would happen if Aliens arrived on Earth is HOW we'd talk to them, think about it, most of our language is based on human experience. If they had no fingers or hands imagine how many words wouldn't make sense to them.

Aeon Paradox
One can hope
*****
I mean you can't really say "hand me that" or any other words that evolved as a result of us having hands.
Like if they never had arrows the whole arrow symbol would make no sense to them
more better.....alien sex.
Literally the only effective way to communicate would be through math.

People project humanity on aliens far too much.
This was a good episode I don't know how many times I busted out laughing. one of the best in a while
I'm a simple man, I see Burnie I click
From Greg Kinnear's Wikipedia:
Kinnear became the creator, co-executive producer and host of Best of the Worst, which aired from 1990 to 1991. The show was cancelled thanks to *Rooster Teeth's Burnie Burns*.
That's why I LOVE the internet :)
I just love how they can talk about anything with each other and not be weirded out by it.
that gnawing on the cute things bit is actually a reaction. your body doesn't know how to handle the cuteness so you want to squeeze it till it stops. the biting is the same thing, you dont know how to handle something cute
I always figured it was a hunting reaction. Like, oh...thats small and cute...bet I can eat it easy. As compared to like...a full grown lion.
Resident Evil 4 let's watch and now this!! Amazing!
This is probably their best Podcast in awhile. Not saying the recent ones were bad just saying this one had AMAZING qualities lol
The aliens sent a message letting us know the earths scheduled for demolition so they could build a hyperspatial expressway.
AYYY BLAINE SGOUTED OUT MHS
Why doesn't burnie always do the ad reads. His transitions are the best 😂
why isn't Blaine on more podcast?
18:11 GREATES SEGUE EVER... Bravo Burnie
22:35 AND A PUN... Burnie is en fuego
Burnie you sold me im going to use blueaprone
... Blue Apron...
KonaGaming NI! good day sir or madam.
you should get spellapron
The moment when Barb gets stared down for Disney references LOL XD I love you, Barb!
ok so I listened to the audio podcast where's the DOG
15:56
+Oh Mah Jah THANKS
+UtaChan lol same. I wrote down the timestamp of the audio podcast and immediately went home to watch the video version to see fluffy pupper-dog
+UtaChan lol same. I wrote down the timestamp of the audio podcast and immediately went home to watch the video version to see fluffy pupper-dog
Doggo
At 9:40 did Burnie say "Morris" Code? I hope so, that would be an awesome little reference to RvB
"Take over the world", "Alien being president over Donald Trump"... America is the whole world confirmed?
Two entirely different jokes/comments being made there, they in no way were trying to imply that the whole world is based around America.
While 2 people of the 4 man group aren't from america and are mentioning it so often.
To be fair, if they manage to take over America the rest of the world probably wouldn't do so hot against them either.
+Ryan Sorge hey, we have North Korea, they're pretty crazy.
They'd probably ignore North Korea. It would be like a spider that they cover with a cup and say "I'll deal with that later."
Burnies story about the cow-counter is amazing!
Weed is my best friend
Dude can you send me like 10 bucks through pay pal to cop a dim? Struggle is real
+theInsaneDoctor you must be smokin on some reggie smh
+Anthony Petro underrated comment
+Mc_bluntpuff You must pay more than 10/g for weed smh.
Mc_bluntpuff You pay more for weed?
they should bring back five man podcasts and have Blaine always on the podcast all the time
I never get why people like tiny 'teacup' dogs. A lot of the time their eyes look like they're puffing out, they don't shut up, they have the most annoying bark etc. I see them everywhere now, what happened to normal sized dogs? xD
I have a cavalier, but they're part pug... does that count?
I own an 86 pound boxer
Sometimes pugs' eyes will actually pop out.
Teh Gamer Girl if you like the dog it's fine haha. I'm just not a fan of the (very) small dogs. Just have to watch out, as others have said they can have plenty of health problems.
DDnufcGamer fair enough
Yes!!!!! I got the notification from AOL during class about the outer space signal :)
Does Barbara not like Trump? I really can't tell...
It doesn't matter. She could just go back to Canada if she wanted to.
+cerebral23 they do live in Austin so I wouldn't be surprised if most of them were hardcore libtards, especially the younger ones. Just to be clear I don't support trump but I sure as hell don't support Clinton. I just hate it when they overdramatize it like " Trump is the most racist man ever! WALLLLLL! Booo hooooo!" " I couldn't name you one of his policy's but I know he's evil and Hillary is good"! I just can stand people like that.
You can't name one of his policies because he doesn't have any. He's not a politician, he's an old wannabe businessman.
Really looking forward to seeing what America vote for. As a European it's like a reality show
I'd rather use Tabasco as lube than vote for either of those two shitty people
Been waiting for this :)
Go to 1:19:53 you'll think me later.
Podcast #392 and I barely just seen what this crew looks like. Mind-blown O_o!!!
*Comment about being early*
*Snarky comment replying explaining how you should stop breathing*
Rude comment about how you should all stop commenting
I like cheese
Comment trying to get likes since every other comment in this chain has a lot of likes and I'm thirsty
Pointless comment about other pointless comment somewhere in the thread.
That Dal segment nearly killed me 😂😂😂
"When the p goes in the v" So I wouldn't have to watch anything.
Les?
Lol
gavin liking aquariums makes him and michael's octodad lets play even better
At the beginning when Blaine said, where's the bottle opener, and Gavin said you mean the whistle, and the. Everybody started talking about the whistle was hilarious at half speed
Burnie should always do Ad Reads. He and Kerry make them interesting to listen to. Burnie's transitions are amazing.
Burnie with the transition!!! 10/10
Dang Burnie, that was the freaking best segue to blue apron i have ever heard!
Barbara's puns never seem to disappoint :D
EXCELLENT PUN, BARBARA. 42:26
Gavin: "The earth eclipse's the sun all the time"😂😂😂
this is probably one of the best podcasts since the Sally LePage episodes
Blaine on the podcast twice in a row? MUST BE CHRISTMAS
7:44 That sounds like the great start to a horror sci-fi
That story Bernie told about him in college with his friend Dow accidentally winning that contest might have been the best story told on the podcast.
Just watched podcast 312 two days ago. Fart story, flippy bed story, and trampoline story make their comeback 80 episodes later.
Burnie, the Kinnear story? Brilliant. How have you not told that one before?
That Burnie Story is amazing, the butterfly effect is strong!
Any podcasts with Miles on it is a great podcast
I LIVE for Burnie's segues.
Let's take a moment to remember that Bernie just said "Vladimir Pewtin".
barbaras bread joke put me over the edge to give the video a like, well done young lady well done
Burnie talking about getting angry on camera reminds me of the RT facility tour. Funny every time.
Blaine is wearing a GI Joe shirt. I feel like this is a missed opportunity.
i bean watching you guys scenc i was in late middle school im an adult now and i just want to say you guys. YES YOU CAN.
Telepathic aliens would probably think: why is everyone so upset with paper notes?
At 13:34 that's exactly what the original "The Day the Earth Stood Still"
33:54 "its like a pants isn't pant even though its just one pair"
its interesting to see burine talk about how films from before the 80s are Utopian and after are distopian because i wrote about that very subject for my final essay for second year at university
0:18:09 That perfect adread segue
Dayum, Burnie's segue game so on point he's like a mall cop on a mountain.
19:57 Can't wait for the RYAA of that story.
I'm so excited for this cast 😆
Best Podcast story ever I think
head some of these stories before but i still like it
When they started talking about the martian, I paused the podcast, watched the whole film (as I hadn't seen it but wanted to) then resumed playing just so it wasn't spoiled for me
WATCHING THIS ON HALF SPEED MAKES EVERYONE SOUND DRUNK AF IM SO DEAD I CANT STOP LAUGHING
thank you for the morning laughs.
That Blue Apron segway. So smooth you should get paid extra
