Hello everybody and welcome to the only podcast identified as an unneeded line item, it's the RG Podcast.
I am your host, Armando Torres,
and joining me as always is the very proficient
in Word and Office Suite.
That's right, baby, Andrew Rosas, available for hire.
And featuring six years of industry experience.
I'm considering saying my name.
Yeah.
You might hear it on this very podcast.
And.
And I'm Gus.
Yay!
Hashtag open to work.
I was walking by the hall, and I walked in here because I'm looking for something and
Cody's like, we're about to go live.
Yeah, I can't find that.
And I was like, oh, it's like a magnet pulling me in.
I can't stay away.
You can't escape it.
I'm not staying though.
I am escaping.
We tricked you into being live on a Monday yet again.
Yet again.
Yeah.
I just can't get away.
At least it's not 5 p.m.
Yeah, that's true. It's five o'clock somewhere. Not here though. No, but it's 5 o'clock in like
super Eastern time or something. Like England or something, right? Yeah. Sure. Yeah.
Mondo heard 5 o'clock somewhere, crack to Coke Zero instinctually next to a bottle
of Jack Daniel's. How you doing? Good. Is you got, I've got, you've got almost like a, uh, an Andre, the
giant scenario going on here where I thought that was a hundred calorie,
like kind of regular code, because it looks so small in your hand.
Here, let me, uh, Griff, can you hold this for me?
That looks normal.
Oh man. looks normal oh man what an incredible skill that has absolutely no bearing on my life no it is I pitched you I pitched your big hands for something one time
what we okay was her name we were we were talking with like a glass manufacturer and they have a
Did they not? Why in quotes?
They make glass products for doing things with
For tobacco use only
Water pipes for tobacco use only
And they have a series where it's like their normal stuff but really small
And I was like guys I have a great bit for social to pitch you
Well, holy shit, I can't great bit for social to pitch you.
Well, holy shit, I can't believe I'm going to tell this story on the podcast. Really leaning into the, you know, two months left, baby.
Two months is well, that's very generous.
I told you. Speaking of very generous,
I used to think that I had a below average size penis
for a really long time. I thought that I had a below average size penis. For a really long time I thought that I had a below average size penis.
But change.
And well the other day I measured my hands and realized that this fucking nine inch hand
not that bad in comparison.
Yeah.
Yeah I mean mid-palm right?
Yeah.
It was his lifeline.
It was just a riding ride.
Oh look here's all I'm saying. Look how fucking, right? Yeah. Yeah. It was his lifeline. It was just a ride across.
Oh, look.
Here's all I'm saying.
Look how fucking small I make this Coke can look.
I'm just saying do the math.
If I'm gripping this and it looks this small, just do the math.
Yeah, yeah.
You're like, oh, man, this puts this in such sharp contrast.
Yeah.
It's a very stark relief.
God damn. Ah!
All right.
So guys, how big your bit?
How big your big?
I'm all right.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's all right.
Can I see your hand?
My hand's real sweaty.
It's okay, my hand's covered in coke.
See, we're, we got a similar problem going on.
Yeah.
All right, I'm looking for stuff.
Sure, do you wanna say a goodbye?
Just to swipe for my personal drive still.
Anything?
Yeah. Plug anything you're working on?
It's been a good 21 years. I was happy to get my Mondays back last year
And then you guys fucking ran it into the ground while
It only took you like nine months, so good job. Yes, our tenure really has been a cinderblock on the gas pedal
Pointing the car of R TP at a rock quarry
Thanks guys, thank you so much guys, I guess I guess I could leave the normal way huh yeah, yeah fine
Drop that wherever it's not it's not our property you can break it and you never know who's gonna show up
That's the beauty of doing this live which we are are. Thank you, everyone, for tuning in.
All eight of you, thank you.
It means so much.
2.3K?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Well, thanks for joining us.
And that's it.
You never know who's going to stop by.
We just got Gus.
We have some other guests that might stop by.
In fact, folks, make it loud for Bernie Burns.
Yay!
Yay!
Yeah, that's about right.
Yep.
Yep.
Ah, they, what are they gonna do?
Fire us tour.
Yeah.
Hey.
Continues unabated.
That's the name of the episode.
They're gonna get mad at me for drinking?
Hey, it's morning somewhere.
Yeah.
It's my alcoholism somewhere.
Oh my God. Oh man.
Yes, thank you all.
I'm so glad we didn't put out last week's episode.
We did not. Where we were happy.
Okay, so here's a little peek behind the curtain.
We record our episodes every day, normally on Tuesday.
This past Tuesday, we recorded an episode,
very fun episode.
It was a good one.
It was a good one.
Another daddy episode.
It taught, yeah, we, I don't know that we've ever
said this on the show, but we have episodes
that we call Just For Daddy, which are episodes
where we have gone, hey, we don't need to make
those stinking ad bucks this week, and so we just
have fun with it.
Yeah.
So we did one of those,
it was a truly off the rails episode,
it was very fun and then not 12 hours later.
Yeah, it was truly,
it was, no, it was exactly 20 hours later.
Yeah, wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was exactly 20 hours later. Yeah, wow. Yeah. Yeah. It was exactly 20 hours later.
Exactly 20 hours later, we were all asked
to enter into an all hands meeting,
at which point we were laid off.
Yeah.
We all got laid off.
En masse.
So my experience with this was a little bit different,
because I had requested time off
Oh, I was not all the at the all hands what I did was wake up leisurely on a Wednesday morning to an all caps
Text from you. Holy shit. Are you watching?
I am NOT my man
Guess what I sent him a message that just said you're getting promoted
They said that you look enough like them, you can have the company.
Yeah.
Dude, it was the most like,
because I feel like every time we have one of the all hands,
we're all like, well,
this is going to be the one they tell us,
but this is the one that we thought it
wouldn't be the one they would tell us.
No, it was just a Wednesday like any other.
It was just a Wednesday like any other.
And then, yeah.
A second brother has hit the rooster teeth.
Oh, brother.
Oh man, my favorite thing about it is people
who don't work here,
when I tell them about it, and they're like, oh man, that sucks, I'm like, yeah, what really sucks is
like, we cost like one pilot.
Yeah.
So like, what pilot do you think is gonna replace
our entire company?
Yeah, they are.
And will it make it to air?
The cost of running Rooster Teeth is about the price of
like, what is it, like one pilot for HBO?
Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like, we're like, honestly,
we're like 20 minutes of Batgirl.
So like, we're basically like, I guess whenever,
maybe they dropped us to make that
new Harry Potter show pilot.
Ooh.
Without question.
We, actually we're probably,
we're probably going to be like,
whatever like, wand store comedy spin- is going to come out of that franchise.
We're his Ollivanders the early years.
Yeah, exactly.
Listen, the only thing I would be happy about us getting canceled for is a while back when we first got absorbed into the conglomerate, They did have sales pitching like to HBO and TPG pitched this like dark gritty noir of
Fucking Kingsley Shacklebolt back in his horror days, and I actually would I would love to see it
I don't know any of the words you guys
Yeah, so where Sarah Weems is going oh that sounds good. That sounded like a sleeper agent activation phrase
that you just say.
Yeah.
That's sad.
Every white ex-girlfriend I've ever had is going, ah!
That sounds so good.
It's set in 1920s Harlem.
For the record, that does sound really lit.
But also, we should just make the Marauders,
like I want to see what's going on with James Potter and Lupin.
No, it's too gay.
No, I know it is too gay.
That's why I want it.
It's way too gay.
Make it gay.
Make it gay.
Sarah, you're a fan.
Are you in the group of people who
found that indie music band and wants them to be more?
No?
I am aware of them.
You're aware of them?
So fun fact.
Okay.
There is a, Kayla, you've probably heard this
from me before.
Sorry, Griff, you've heard this from me before.
What the fuck is this?
This is the show now.
There's a Harry Potter fan fiction called
All the Young Dudes, which is like one of the top
fan fictions of all time.
And it's a retelling of the Harry Potter story
from like Remus Lupin as a like first year
all the way until he dies and
it is so fucking good, and it's completely canonical, and it's great and
Everybody ships it
Also fuck JK Rowling I just need to be clear I love all the young dudes
So much so that we said it
That's how much we said it
That's how much we said it
TPG is Tim Gessling by the way
People were asking who TPG is
He's still on the show before
Friend of, enemy of the show
Enemy of the show, Thomas Paul Gessling
Don't give his full government
I don't know his name Oh. Don't give his full government. I don't know his name. Oh, okay. Then do give his full government. Yeah, it was a pretty
crazy all hands to be in. My favorite part of it was midway through I started getting
text messages from other people. If he sent me a message during the middle of the all hands. One word, all caps, just the N word.
That was it.
Which one?
Which one?
Which what?
Which N word?
Oh, Ify Wadaway.
He just said Wadaway.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Like a Pokemon?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's a different, uh.
It's a different one.
It's a different one.
Which we can now say on this podcast.
Hey, get Sarah back out here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think you want what we want.
No, tell it to me.
We have a script for you.
No.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh my god.
Producer Cody going absolutely nutso on the side here.
2.3. My favorite was, I got a message from Fiona that was just like, again, all caps,
you need to start streaming now. And it was like, I don't think the landscape is as good
as you think. Which one?
OnlyFans. Oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like- is a good opportunity to point our OnlyFans that we're starting for all three of us.
Oh yeah.
What did we call it again?
RTP, but it stands for different things.
Yeah.
Obscene, unrepeatable things.
Really tight penis.
Really tight.
T-I-T, really tight penis.
Really fucking tight penis, dude.
Ahhhhh!
Don't lay it off.
Oh man. Oh my god.
I don't know why that reminded me. Gosh, do you know Martin Urbano?
No.
He's a stand-up comedian.
No.
He has this joke I think about probably every day, which is like,
I can't believe my girlfriend broke up with me just because I finger her like this. Shout out Martin Obata.
Doing air quotes.
Yeah exactly yeah.
Incredible.
Oh my god.
Geez Louise.
Yeah so we had the only, I almost called it the only fans.
We had the only fans last Wednesday.
We had the all fans on Wednesday where we got laid off and then midway through it I started
getting text messages from my friends
as people you know that's crazy go fuck yourself
I told them I wouldn't be addressing the chat very much we just got a message removed from roosterteeth is dead because of you actually is dead because of you if you fucking tuned in
yeah you stupid piece of fucking shit. Dog shit.
Having six people talking at once is really high quality.
It's three, I just weigh enough to equal six,
you fucking piece of shit.
Here's my favorite part of this,
is that somebody had to make a fucking account.
Could you imagine putting in your email
to be a fucking dork?
Oh no, I gotta log into Gmail.
He doesn't have a last pass,
he knows the same fucking password he's had since he was six.
Oh my god. Go broke. Gmail he doesn't have a last pass you know it's the same fucking password he's had since he was six
Dog pissing dog shit man guys. I can't believe somebody made me black for diversity. How dare I be born this way
Go woke go broke what a fucking gay guy I know that guy probably loves that guy's
probably like super Mexican oh my god that's one of my favorite things that Tiny penis also. Yeah. OK, then I have three complaints about my life. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Oh, my god.
All right, so I have two complaints
that I've ever had whenever we've gotten, like, what do
you call it, like, people complaining about the content
that we make.
Because one of the things that I've heard a lot
is that it seems like we're all being
Paid to like hang out with each other that we're not actually like friends that like
That pisses me off. That's been pissing me off since like the STF days. Yeah
Yeah, there's never like any of it
I know that we just made a joke about it
But like any of the things where it's like go we'll go broke like fucking fuck you whatever like that
Yeah, it doesn't actually yeah, it doesn't mean anything it's like oh damn you learned how to rhyme
a word you're such a big boy oh my god yeah it's like it's annoying but it
doesn't make me mad I mean but the thing that made me mad is I was like how dare
you imply that like I don't love my best friend yeah like literally I don't know
any other place where I've said it before or I will be here
Fucking nine to five not even nine to five ten to eight with people and then be like so you guys want food after?
Yeah, you want to go get and then also get drinks three days this weekend. Like yeah
I like I love everybody here like genuinely that's like the worst part
Yeah, yeah, we we uh, we all got laid off and then immediately started hanging out with each other more
Yeah, yeah, which I think is great and Griffin. I have been doing this new thing
Where are you guys looking at stuff? Sorry?
Wait me or the other person cuz I was defending our fucking capital. Someone said they wanted to join Mondo's white
like supremacy podcast.
Oh, I call it info genocide.

Sugar sweetener, it's a nitro cold brew. It's a nitro cold brew. It's a nitrous cold brew. Yeah, it's good made in Tennessee
We we I'm the finest. We uh, we uh, in the meeting that we had, not meeting, what do you call it, in the livestream
that we did to uh.
It's called Slaughter.
In the Slaughter that we had.
Yes, in the Slaughter that we had when we were in the livestream giving out more information
and talking about stuff.
By the way, it's up in the chat right now, but if you have questions about stuff you
can go to roosterteeth.com slash g slash rt news. It sounds like i'm doing a bit but if you want genuine information that's
the best place to get it. Anything we say here is not going to be helpful at all. Not even the slightest.
But when we were in that thing we talked about um hold on i'm so sorry can't wait to join Mondo's
basketball team the January Sixers. That's very. Hey, you're hired and you're fired
Welcome aboard I'll send you your exit package
So yeah

Because it's kind of a funeral too.
Yeah, a little bit.
This is the, yeah, we had the eulogy part.
This is at the bar afterwards where you're talking shit.
Um, so we had recorded that episode of RTP,
the one that we did last Tuesday.
Yes, yes.
I'm closing all the loops of tangents that were done.
Of course, yeah.
We recorded that episode, and then we got laid off,
not 20 hours later, and we went,

Oh my god.
Yeah, that was quite a night.
Oh, and before that we were at a South By thing networking and we put on name tags that
just said I just got laid off on Wednesday yeah we met so many we met
executives from dropout we met executives from like all the major like
podcast advertising people and on our fucking our name tag just said we I just
got laid off and people thought it was hilarious and the best best part was all these people wanted to network.
They wanted to talk.
They were like, so what's next for you?
Do you think that you need some help?
What do you want to make?
And I was like, my guy, I'm here for the open bar right now.
I don't want to talk to you about anything.

Let's discuss after South By. Add me on LinkedIn. Let's discuss after South By.
Add me on LinkedIn and look away.
So we've been doing.
Don't make eye contact with me.
Oh, yeah, that's the other thing.
This is my first South By where, oh, god, this is going to be.
I've registered for a lot of like conventions this year as an RT employee so all of my badges when I go to dream
hack when I go to evo when I go to fucking packs in a week it's just gonna
say Rooster Teeth on it and everyone's gonna know if you've got Rooster Teeth
business cards they should be good for one free drink right now at all bars I
think I feel like so that's what I to say. That is what we've been doing. When we were at that
bar, when I took that video, we went up to the bartender and ordered a round of green
tea shots for everyone. And then we went, we just got laid off.
Well, no, I walked up and I said, I was like, how much for,
how much for 10 green tea shots?
And she was like, they're 12 bucks,
they're like 12.95 or something insane.
And I was like, damn, so we all just got laid off.
And then Mondo comes up and he's like,
he's like, do you need help carrying them?
And I was like, oh my God, thank you for coming over.
I was just telling her that we got laid off.
And he was like, oh yeah, we all just got laid off.
And she was like, oh, yeah And she was like, oh well
Where did you work for
Rooster teeth and she goes I don't think I've ever heard of it and I was like you probably have it
But if you ever dated a boyfriend who was really bad to you
who was really bad to you, he definitely knew it. Oh yeah.
Uh, so she did give us a discount,
but that also reminded me that when we were in a lift later,
we were doing this and we were like,
we just gotta lay it off, and the guy was like,
oh, where's your work?
And he said Rooster Teeth.
Did you ever date a guy with a hot couch and Funko pops?
He definitely knows.
He loved our stuff.
Yeah, he loved it.
No, but he was like, he was very arty fan coded and Mondo just kept going dude
You would have loved our stuff. You would have fucking loved what we did dude. This guy looked just like me and
He actually he looked like me and Tyler mixed together. He had like this really he had like a sports hat on but it had rainbow
And it said ally on the side. I was like oh you would love their stuff dude. Yeah, he was like this really he had like a sports hat on but it had rainbow and it said ally on the side
I was like, oh you would love their stuff. Yeah, he was like hell divers and he was like, yes. Yeah. Yeah, he was so sick
he
Yeah, we were really trying to tell him hard like hey man, if you go sign up for a first account
They might save us
But we were just trying to get out of paying the yeah either that or he's making his third account to get banned probably called like
Called like I like Michael Jones more than you
Me too
Called my parasocial relationships don't fill the hole in my heart
I can't believe you made a second account that's so funny
What there's so much effort going into being a fucking dumbass. It's so funny.
So yeah, the bartender gave us all the prices
for well drinks instead of like the,
but like poured in like JMo and like good shit.
Yeah, shout out to her.
Shout out to her.
People have been just giving us free stuff
ever since you just tell them like,
oh, I just got laid off.
It's a pretty good thing.
So now I'm trying to see which of the two of us
can get the most free stuff.
Will that work for rent, do you think?
Can I get a discount on my rent?
If you do the inhale through the teeth
that you did earlier.
So, maybe.
You might be able to swindle that.
I don't live for a conglomerate.
Like, my landlord is two gay guys
that live down the street.
So I feel like, here's the thing,
community is so important.
Uh-huh.
Mm, mm, preach.
Yeah, word, spit, spit.
I just got laid off.
Spit, spit, yeah.
Jesus Christ.
Oh man.
Oh man, we just got laid off.
We just got laid off.
Yeah, I feel great.
I actually do.
I'm wondering, I to go around the room
and seeing what is everybody taking?
Has everybody like, everyone grab a label maker
and start putting your name on stuff.
We're just like.
Oh, I'll go first.
I've had a lot of people ask me
and I've gotten a lot of answers like do not say anything.
Yeah.
Everyone come here and light up and then.
Well here, I'll start us off.
What is everyone taking?
A lot of Zoloft.
Uh, like a bar, like one bar every six hours.
One bar every six hours.
That's a joke and it's one that we would have
cut out initially.
Hello, welcome to the RTP.
Braylon was there.
Hi, I just got laid off.
Open for work.
I am legally obligated to tell you
that I am not taking anything.
No. At all. No. From my room. No, and I'm also legally obligated to tell you that I am not taking anything. No. At all.
No.
From my room.
No, and I'm also legally obligated to say that I did not black out all of the security
cameras on the main hallway, but not the side ones.
Yeah.
Oh.
And I'm legally not allowed to tell you that if you factory reset your computer, the Sentinel
programming goes down and they can't tell you where it is anymore.
You know, that's all information I didn't need to know.
No, no.
Yeah.
And also my boss is in the other room.
Yeah, we're also legally obligated to not tell you
that there are some really, really, really cool things
just lying around.
Oh, I know.
Not necessarily.
Tripping over cool stuff.
Tripping over cool stuff.
Hey, John Mace, how's it going?
John Mace!
Hey, give it up for John Mace, everybody.
John, what's up?
Oh, come here, John.
Master of facilities.
John Mace.
Scowl of the century, John Mace.
Hey, buddy.
What are you taking, John Mace?
Everything.
Maybe the stolen company property is the friends
we made along the way.
OK.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, way. John Mase had a birthday last
week. Oh yeah. Happy birthday. Wasn't that on your birthday? It was the day before.
The day before? Yeah. It was Blizz's birthday too yeah. It was weird how that works out. How was your birthday?
I'm old. Oh okay. Yeah. The cake didn't taste as good anymore after
The birthday you taste your birthdays. I know the birthday cake like
Yeah, I'm a synesthesia where I taste my birthday birthday cake was like it usually hits
But I was like something's missing and I think it's employment
Really oh man can really taste the loss of benefits
This 26th birthday tastes like
I'm off my parents insurance.
You know what, we may not be funny,
but you know what it is?
Cobra benefits.
They suck shit.
Why do they call them cobra benefits?
It's weird, and also it's not a benefit.
It's like imagine if someone was like,
you can have all the money in the world,
but you have to carry it all at once
in your hands to have it.
Sure.
That's a real monkey's paw ass wish fulfillment.
It's like you're unemployed,
but we're giving you insurance for $1,000 a month.
In case you're wondering,
because I also just learned what this is
that they're talking about.
We're learning so much.
It's basically like, if you get unemployed,
you don't have a job, et cetera,
like you can't afford insurance. in America your health insurance is tied to your work
So you keep working in case you get sick so you don't die because capitalism
Well, your only intrinsic value in this system and world is what you have to put in
Yeah, what you can put in and we are all human capital
That's why I've been saying we shouldn't call it the people team or HR should be human capital management
Yeah, like human capital like like herders like yeah, like she like shepherds. Maybe that's all we are
I gotta go to the abattoir. I'm sorry HR
House my favorite part about being laid off was um
Speaking to an HR team who has no idea who we are
was speaking to an HR team who has no idea who we are. That was very funny.
Just a woman who looks like a LinkedIn profile
being like, hey buddy.
Oh, you're talking about the AI generated HR person
that we all got?
Who we all got, yeah.
Hi, I'm Erica.
Can I help you just move the little chat bot at the bottom?
I have to be clear,
the one that I got extremely helpful and very nice.
Yeah, so, no, they were all so nice.
I got fired by Clippy.
Yeah.
Yeah, that really fucked me up.
It looks like you have a job.
Can I help you with that?
Yeah.
Brutal.
My favorite part about the AI HR person that helped me,
incredibly nice person, by the way.
If you're out there watching,
thank you. Are you hiring? No. That was her first piece of information. But yeah, the
first, she started running through what was going to happen. Like, hey, this is your exit
package. This is how severance works. This, that, whatever. This other thing. This is
what a warn period is. Giving us all the technical terms and I just kept works, this, that, whatever, this other thing. This is what a warn period is, like giving us all the technical terms,
and I just kept going, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she goes, are you like getting all of this?
I don't mean to sound rude, but you seem pretty dismissive.
And I was like, oh, I don't understand
any of the things you're saying,
but I've been writing down every word
and I'm gonna go talk to my mom
and have mommy explain it to me.
He just dead to camera go, this was my first big boy job.
So these are all new terms for me.
Yeah.
Well, there is something very, I mean, there's something
like mentally, the cognitive dissonance of explaining
like technical things to you while you're freshly processing a like
when literally two hours before uh yeah the rug got pulled out from under you yeah where just like
someone talking is like okay so here's your you know here's your exit packet this is what you'll
need to do to you know hand in your 401k just like hearing a peanuts adult just yeah i was like just
just send me the fucking email like i don't understand anything that's going on right now
Just just send me the fucking email. I don't understand anything that's going on right now. I
Also, I took mine a camera I took mine camera off in like mummy position on my bed just like laying down next to the screen just going uh-huh
Uh-huh. Yep watching the fan blades like does that sound good to you?
What if it did it like what do you mean does that sound good to me? What what does it matter?
That's how good you do. I have a choice. What happens if I say no is that like is that like the fucking matrix?
I say no it opens up a new path
There's a few moments in my life
Where I realize that I am so massive that I should be using it more to my advantage
Yeah, and I mean that physically Like I am physically so large.
Like when they said, hey, we're shutting down Rooster Teeth.
Is that okay with you guys?
What if we just went, no.
No.
No.
No.
We're gonna stay here.
Well you're brooming the door, come get us.
Yeah, fucking lock the doors, we're in here.
Hey guys, we're not gonna release Coyote versus Acme.
Oh really?
Oh word?
Are you sure about that?
You saw what I did to the Capitol?
I'm storming Warner Brothers lot baby.
I'm getting in there.
I'm getting coyote. I'm getting Batgirl.
They gave you a tour. They fucked up.
You know all the ins and outs.
I know where it is.
And you have an easy getaway.
You just paint a door or a tunnel on the wall
and you can just get away super fast.
I know where all the equipment is.
I know where all the archives are.
I know where James Dean's ghost hangs out.
That one was real.
Yeah, you did get the side of your hip gently touched
by James Dean's ghost.
I implied.
I implied.
What, what?
You don't know about this?
When we did, so I did a ghost hunt for Travel Channel
and like their TikTok account to be clear.
And when I was there, oh man, should I say the full story?
Why the fuck not?
Keep the mystery.
All right, fuck it, we're live.
When we did the ghost hunt,
we went with two people who were actual ghost hunters and then we
went with Armando Torres who is a comedian and my entire job was to just be really stupid and funny
and goofy and like have a light-hearted attitude about everything. But while we were hunting for
ghosts pretty much nothing happened. A word? Yeah it turns turns out that, uh, look, here's the thing.
I don't want to say ghosts aren't real, but there was like 50 of us.
There was three ghost hunters, two camera ops, a couple of producers,
and then for some reason, 15 fucking executives from the travel channel
who were just fucking there, who were there to tell me,
hey, please don't talk shit about the guy from ****.
He really does not like it if you talk shit about the guy whose name I
think is the hobbit name yeah fuck you we need 15 people to stand around on
their phones constantly and be like can we work like Slim Jim into this and
anyway so it was like I don't think that it's that ghosts aren't real I think constantly and be like can we work like Slim Jim into this in any way? Yeah, is there any way that we can do that? Let me see.
So it was like I don't think that it's that ghosts aren't real. I think it's the fact that the ghosts could smell the
executive gross and we're like I'm not coming out. They're the ones that get James Dean's hiding in the background like they're the motherfuckers who killed me.
They got me fucking killed.
I'm not going out there. So yeah we we were on this ghost hunt, fucking nothing was happening.
So I started, let's say, inventing paranormal activity that started happening, where I would
go over to somebody and I would whisper in the ear like, hey, in about five minutes,
I'm going to turn the camera over here, because we have one of those cameras that can see
infrared.
I want you to walk by that window when I like tap on the floor.
And I started doing that and the whole point was to make the stream more interesting.
To like add some mystery, to add some stuff.
Otherwise it's just a bunch of people with a fucking
Geiger counter or whatever just going, nothing yet.
Nothing yet.
Oh, I think I felt cold.
Nothing yet.
I think I felt cold.
Yeah, walking, that was my favorite thing is walking outside and somebody going, Oh, I think I felt cold. Nothing yet. I think I felt cold.
That was my favorite thing is walking outside
and somebody going, oh, I think I feel cold now
for some reason, I don't know.
Is it because you're not near the burning hot bodies
of the 15 executives on their fucking iPhones
together over there yet?
Their iPhones working double time
so that their WhatsApp stays open
so they can keep texting their mistress.
So we're, I're, we're,
I'm faking these ghostly encounters left and right
so that the stream can be more interesting.
And then I make us fun realization.
Which is that the two ghost hunters that are there with us,
they think all of this stuff is really happening.
They think that you're just like super attuned.
Yeah.
Like you're just open as fuck to the to the supernatural
They can tell you real they kept telling me like no one's ever got evidence like this before and I was like
No one's ever been gently caressed by the ghost of Jesus well, okay, so that brings us to this at one point
I'm starting to be so annoying because I'm like doing jokes, but also I'm the one facilitating all of these ghosts and shit that they go hey Armando we're gonna put you with
like this thing that every so often will just shout out a word we're gonna lock
you in this closet where like James Dean love to hang out which is like pretty Yeah, kinda on the nose. Pretty hacky supernatural. Pretty fuckin' hack joke ghost hunters.
Yeah.
So, fuck you, s***.
And so...
Hahaha!
It's on sight, s***, by the way.
Yeah.
I don't know, actually.
Is he one of the buff ones?
Yeah.
Oh no, I regret this.
But he's 5'6".
Ugh, tall...
Short...
Short...
Short kings can fight.
Yeah, they're fast and they're ropey. Yeah, you got you got reach
Yeah, that's true. You could do the hold the forehead while he just swing, but he's got ghost experience
Fighting ghosts
Yeah, I think the fucking hair dye has seeped into his brain and made him stronger
I don't think you could feel pain if he wanted to
So I'm in the closet.
Clip that by the way.
So I'm deeply in the closet with this thing
that's just shouting words at me, my stepfather.
And so I'm in the closet and they say
that this is where James Dean liked to hang out
and like just stay in here and like, I'm like, okay, I'll be in here.
Ooh, ha ha ha.
Ooh, ghost.
And then I realized everyone's walked away to go do something else.
And I was like, well, I'm turning off this fucking box.
So I turn off the box and then I'm just there in the silent.
And then I try to open the door and I realized they like locked it so that I would be like in there and I'm like
okay I don't like this.
That's weird.
I'm not on camera so I don't you know I don't have to be funny but I don't like this.
Hey James and then I just started speaking to James Dean like as a bit for myself so that I wouldn't be as scared as I was starting to become.
And then I felt something caress my fat supple brown ass.
And I wish I was doing a bit with you, Andrew.
I know you're not.
I wish I was doing a Joakum up with you all, but I got groped on by the ghost of James Dean.
Someone get Chuck Tingle on the phone.
Chuck Tingle is how it started to feel after he kept going.
He was about to star in a sequel to Giant.
Oh folks. Yeah I'm again not joking I I was in there. It was just me by myself.
I was talking to James Dean as a bit to make myself feel better.
And then I felt something.
And I've tried to come up with so many explanations.
The easiest one is that I was wearing a flannel.
And maybe the flannel got caught on a nail or something.
But I felt pressure.
I felt genuine, like the touch that you feel when somebody touches you. Real WB a lot of hours. And I felt pressure. I felt like genuine, like the touch that you feel
when somebody touches you.
Real WB a lot of hours.
And I freaked out.
I heard that's great.
Yeah.
No, no, no, stay on Andrews.
Yeah, stay on Andrews.
That's a thumbnail.
We got a thumbnail.
Yeah.
Oh, Mondo's Ghost Gooning adventures so yeah I got touched by the
ghosts of James Dean I immediately came out of the closet I immediately came
out of the closet yeah two very fun jokes back to back I immediately came
out of the closet and told them what happened and they were like please don't say that on
the livestream and I was like what are you talking about and they're like please don't
say that the ghost of James Dean grabbed your butt.
I don't.
Why?
You don't want to libel him in the afterlife.
Hello I represent the estate of James Dean slapping you with the.
How dare you insinuate he never fondled a man.
So yeah that was the thing that I wasn't allowed to talk about when it happened,
and now I am allowed to talk about it.
Cause what are they gonna do?
What are they gonna do?
Extra not hire me after this?
Probably. Probably.
I don't think I'll ever work again.
Ah, not.
That's stronger than I thought it was.
Oh boy.
That's cause there's no coconut.
You're rather full of whiskey.
Oh yeah, let's put a little bit one for you one for daddy

They don't wanna know what happened.
No questions asked, Andrew.
Fuck.
Single on me, please.
Get a tight single.
Hey folks, my name's Armando Torres.
I'm a former host of the Rooster Teeth podcast.
I've been a show runner for this show for a really long time, and as a showrunner, one
of my responsibilities is to approve and disapprove of ad sales.
There were some ad sales that I was allowed to do, to veto, and there were some that I
was not allowed to veto, and we were forced to do it anyway.
So this is a little segment of RTP called, which advertisers did we actually like?
Have you ever heard the term treat yourself?

I've never felt more rested and do you know why? It's because I own a Helix Sleep mattress.
I actually do own a Helix Sleep mattress. They sent it to me in a box that I got into
my elevator, brought up to my apartment building, cut it open, took the bag out, cut open the
bag and the mattress just went like it was a life raft.
But instead of being lost at sea, I'm lost in sleep, baby.
It's so good. I cannot, I can't stop screaming about this mattress.
It's so incredibly fun. Um, and it fits me, which if you don't know me,
might not seem like a big deal, but, uh, in case you're looking at me right now,
I'm a big boy. Okay? And finding mattress that fits?
Extremely difficult, not with Helix.
It's incredible.
Everybody is unique and everyone sleeps differently.
That's why Helix has several different mattress models
to choose from, each designed for specific sleep positions
and feel preferences.
Models with memory foam layers
to provide optimal pressure relief
if you
sleep on your side, which my partner definitely does, and so we've got a bed that accommodates
for that too, but they also have models with a more responsive foam to cradle your body
for essential support in stomach and back sleeping positions as well, plus enhanced
cooling features to keep you from overheating at night. And did you know that Helix Sleep also supports military first responders, teachers, and students
by giving them a special discount on site?
And unlike a lot of mattress companies out there, Helix owns its own manufacturing facility,
which means that each and every Helix mattress is made by a team of skilled manufacturers and shipped directly from their facility to your door.
You don't have to take my word for it.
Helix Sleep has over 12,000 5-star reviews and has been awarded the best mattress winner
by Parents Magazine. And for this show, Helix is offering 20% off
all mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners.
So go to helixsleep.com slash rooster.
This is their best offer yet and it will not last long.
With Helix, better sleep starts now.
Yes!
Let's fucking go!

I just wanted to say a thank you to Tyler Stabb for producing
this show and putting up with us.
Yeah. When we took over the show and putting up with us. Yeah.
When we took over this show and we
had all these big grand ideas and we
were making our stupid sketches and our stinky little game
shows and all the fun stuff that they took from us.
All the fun stuff that we love to make.
Tyler was the one that was there fighting for us
and doing stuff and helping us make those things.
And my hair went with it at the same time.
And that's our fault. Yeah.
No, no.
It's been going for a while.
It looks.
It actually looks.
You accelerated.
Thicker and more luscious since you've been doing it with us.
Well, I have a lot of people with good hair.
So I have to live up to the expectation.
Well, I appreciate it.
We took three years of your life and four inches
off your hairline.
So thank you, buddy.
I love you so much.
Yeah.
They were the bad years, though.
They were at the end. Yeah, so you
I've never heard the story of how you started working here
I okay
So they were making laser team 2 and then it was bad and then it got handed to four more people
Who rewrote the entire thing? I think like in a weekend
Oh, and if you can believe it it somehow got worse
I think like in a weekend. And if you can believe it, it somehow got worse.
Interesting.
And so they brought me on to do rewrites and punch ups
on set so I was rewriting scenes as they were filming.
I was like on.
Were you just like watching, you're like,
that doesn't work.
It made no sense.
Jesus Christ.
I was hired to do punch up and I essentially rewrote
act two and three, like as they were making it.
It was a lot of fun because it was all the problem solving of like okay
Well, we can tie up this loose end and make this make sense
He's just great actually we can't cuz we are we filmed that we filmed all the scene
We filmed the scene that would make that make sense earlier so yesterday
you're the one that took out all the
The Gavin dildo content or no you son of a bitch. I'm sorry. I did yeah, yeah, those you you know about that right?
No, oh, so I think there was like a joke that Gavin's character has a huge dick in the movie
So he wore like this fake big prosthetic dick for a lot of the filming that heard it like bruises like hurt him real bad
But then none of the jokes about it made it to the final cut so he just
No fucking the jokes about it made it to the final cut. So he just suffered for no fucking reason.
That's so fucking great.
Just a bruised thigh for a joke
that didn't make it to edit.
Oh my God.
That's like, I don't know if you guys,
do you remember that show that we made,
well I didn't work on it, but the company made it,
Camp Betrayal.
I was on that.
Oh yeah?
Oh that's right, you were on that. Yeah, I had to eat the raw cow tongue. I threw up next to Michael Jost. I saw that yeah. Yeah.
I uh that the the the big dick joke reminds me of how there's a scene where they made Alfredo
getting on all fours. Oh my god for like two hours. Yeah and they weren't ready they weren't
ready to film so they just let him sit there on all fours for three hours
Blindfolded and like I think handcuffed. Yeah for like two or three hours. It was like 30 degrees outside
30 degrees middle of nowhere. He's just like fucking locked up like he's about to play in a saw game
Yeah, we don't make fetish content. No
Also someone else's I think he was also tied to a mannequin like,
Yeah.
Like human centipede style? I don't know, I was eliminated by then because Blaine hates women.
But uh...
Okay, hold on.
Hahahaha!
Oh man!
Hold on.
Blaine, come defend yourself.
Yeah, come defend yourself. He's making stinky. He's not gonna do it.
Yeah, that's what we call it when he takes a big poop.
Making stinky.
When you go, Blaine makes stinky. He's playing with do it. Yeah, that's what we call it when he takes a big poop
He's playing with puppets or whatever. Um, yeah, no it that that was uh, that was my first like big big shoot It was really interesting
Yeah, I want to say it was fun
But I was so cold for most of it that I was like grumpy a little bit, but it was it was fun
It's so fucking cold
my first like big production that we did was last laugh last last even season two where I my god
just like oh locked in a room for like what was it ended up being like 13 hours
or something full time season two yeah I, right? Season two, yeah.
Yeah, I got eliminated first in that one.
Yeah, I was very jealous.
Oh man.
You want to go out first in that game to me.
I felt like it was a passing of the baton.
Because I remember in a...
No one can't betray, Barb got out first.
And that is something that happens to her a lot apparently.
And then ever since that moment,
I became the person who's been eliminated first in things.
So I feel like it was a passing of the baton
to another woman getting out of the content early on.
Uh.
Uh.
It was so fun.
That show was really fun to make,
but it was so like not laughing
and also bombing for 12 hours straight
made me want to fucking die.
I always thought you hated me because of last laugh.
What?
Yeah, because there was like one point
where you yelled at me because I wouldn't engage with you
and you were like, just fucking play with me
and I was like, ah.
Yeah, I was not, okay, I wasn't mad.
I was trying to still get a laugh by keeping yelling like,
why won't anyone play with me?
Because no one wanted to do bits with me. keeping yelling like, why won't anyone play with me?
Because no one wanted to do bits with me.
Do you know the bit that I got somebody with
that actually worked?
The only joke that actually got somebody to laugh,
or I think I got a couple people out,
but the biggest one was I went up to Trevor,
I had a picture of the blue men group,
I tapped him on the shoulder, he turned around,
and I went, does this look okay to you? And showed him the picture of the Blue Man group. And that was, stop laughing!
It's so dumb! It's just so dumb!
That would have gotten me because it-
That would have gotten me too.
Yeah, it makes no sense.
My favorite thing is, I don't know why they did this in the edit, but I think they gave
you a point for getting me out, but Fiona got me out.
Oh yeah, it's because what she said.
Because of what she says.
Can I say it?
What are they gonna do, fire me?
Can she say it?
Yeah, it was, I forgot what we were doing.
And she made a reference, have you seen that?
It's like a picture of the Kermit the Frog puppet
and he's like holding the open.
Oh yeah, he's goat saying.
He's goat singing.
Yeah, she looks directly at me and she goes,
no, it's just like Kermit and then she just turns around and goes
And I laughed that was my last one that got me out and then but then the edit it was something you said
I don't remember what it was. I don't know what they gave you credit for
Yeah, and they had to they had to give it to me because they were like, well, we can't have her laughing at Kermit Goatsy
Kermit Goatsie. Kermit Gaping, if you have that.
Yeah.
Oh, no, that was awesome.
I would have been so dog shit at that show.
Oh yeah, also, it was you couldn't smile either.
That's what really got me.
Oh, that was a tough one.
If you could smile, I would have lasted way longer,
but I love everyone in that room so much.
How can I help but smile?
I know that I laughed at least twice,
and I don't remember if I laughed more than that.
Bubble.
But both times that I laughed, I got myself out.
The first one was because I was trying
to turn on a loud speaker, like a police bullhorn.
Thank you.
I was trying to turn on a bullhorn,
and it wouldn't turn on.
And then I figured out how to fix it
And I was so pleased with myself that I went hey
Second one is when I
Grabbed a jump rope and Michael Jones said that he bet I couldn't even do one single jump rope and I did five
He smiled not a brag and I did five. And you smiled. Not a brag!
And I smiled again and then I got...
The smiling rule, if this company wasn't having everyone lay it off and we couldn't make a
season three, I think if we got rid of the smiling rule, it would be a lot more savage.
Yeah!
Yeah, because she didn't surely get out because she kept smirking at her own jokes and I think
that's why she got out.
Yeah, she would make a joke and then smile at it.
And then like, meh.
Like.
So fucking funny.
Last laugh season three was at the Easy Tiger,
last week.
No one was laughing.
No one was laughing, everyone was just drinking
and looking at their glass.
We did that, that like, what do you call it?
Not the last stream that we ever did.
I think they literally call it not our goodbye stream.
And my mother texted me to be like,
hey, I saw the stream, you were very funny,
but you probably shouldn't have been,
probably should have been more serious.
Lot of people really upset,
didn't like how you were making jokes.
Lot of people really not feeling good.
Very hard to watch.
Love seeing you.
Cool.
Thanks mom.
Thanks mom.
Thanks mom.
You're gonna have to ban your mom from chat.
Yeah, I can't believe my,
also my mom said in the message she was like,
I don't know who most of those people are
and it was very hard to watch.
And I was like, wow mom,
way to hit us with a who are these people.
Damn fucking buzzer man.
Just one last one. One last one. Damn fucking buzzer, man. Just one last one.
One last one.
Half court buzzer beater.
Oh, who are these people?
God.
Hello.
Hey, Kai.
Hey, Kai.
Hey.
Do you want to say something?
Do you want to say some words?
How's it going?
Hello, I'm Kai.
Hello.
Hi, hi, I'm Kai.
Hi.
That's why I say I'm my brand, my personal brand.
I need to grow now because I lost my job. Yeah
Oh, you got laid off. Oh, I got laid off. That's crazy. Me too
I know you would think they would not do it cuz I thought they were really pushing diversity equity and inclusion
But like look at us. No, they were they were pushing them to the unemployment line. Yeah
Yeah, pushing them into the sea. I want to say to their credit
Yeah, the three of us are just as fired as Barbara is.
Yeah.
You know what?
Everyone is equally as fired.
That's equity.
That's diversity.
That's inclusion.
You know what the best part is?
We are just as fired as Jeff Ramsey is.
That's a straight white man.
That is a straight white man.
I'm just as unemployed as a guy
with all of that money in his bank account.
Yeah. Now that we're doing the last step. Yeah. I'm just as unemployed as a guy with all of that money in his bank account.
Now that we're doing the last step. Yeah, we're the same.
Jeff and I.
That was my favorite thing was that live episode that we did for Moon Tower.
And Tower where Jeff showed us his bank account and me and Mondo were so poor
that we couldn't see the number.
Yeah, I mean, Jeff has had what, three weddings now?
Yeah.
So I mean, that goes really far, right?
They're not cheap.
Weddings are not cheap.
The weddings aren't cheap, but the real flex?
Two divorces.
That's even more, yeah, that's...
I love that man with all my heart, I gotta tell you.
He's the best.
I have to be so clear, I like Jeff a lot.
The thing about Jeff is I fucking hate him because goddamn, every time he cries, I cry. Yeah. I hate be so clear. I like Jeff. Yeah, we look the thing about Jeff is I fucking hate him cuz goddamn every time
He cries I cry. Yeah, I hate it so much. Oh man. Yeah, there's I hate it so much
There's like a few people like that like the second. I see them get even a little misty. I'm like
Yeah, yeah, so how are you? Yeah, I'm actually doing okay
I've actually changed my emails because I always start them with,
Hi, I hope you're doing well. No one is.
So instead I say, Hi, I hope you're okay.
And if you're not, that's okay.
Just slightly change the word because you never know what people are going through right now.
I keep starting it with, Hey, I hope this email finds you drunk.
Drunk or something else I can't say.
Hey, I hope this email gets kicked back to me, because it's been deactivated.
Because RT's been deactivated.
No, that's the thing.
Everyone in the goodbye RT Slack, because we have that now,
is saying to check every single thing that you have
an email associated with.
Because if you have your RT email associated with anything,
good luck.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
That's how I pay my rent.
Oh, no.
Oh, I think my gas bill's hooked up to that.
How?
I moved.
Insane.
I was doing a bit.
I moved and they wouldn't let me use my old one
because it was attached to a different apartment
and they wouldn't use another one
because it was also attached to a different apartment.
So then I was like, oh, I have this one.
I'll change it at some point.
You know you could just transfer accounts
instead of making new ones?
It wouldn't let me.
Kaylee.
Because I went from apartment,
we don't have to get into it.
Texas Natural Gas is not a good website.
Oh my God, it's fucking, it's like HTML website.
It sucks, it won't let you do,
if you go from apartments to like a single home,
single family home unit,
it won't let you just transfer the account.
I don't know why.
The Texas Natural Gas website has a hit counter
at the bottom.
That's how old it is.
Out of fucking...
It's actually just somebody's old MySpace page.
Averilabene plays when you log on.
Not the song you think either.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
So, hey, we've had a lot of fun here. And by that I mean doing this job. I love you. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too.
I love you too.
I love you too.
I love you too.

I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. I love you too. love and respect both of you so incredibly much. The two of you are two of my best friends
and I love you so very deeply.
Love you so much.
All of the people that work here
are just absolutely phenomenal people
who have worked so hard to bring you
such great fun content for just fucking years.
And the last couple of years,
things have been very rough, obviously.
Like no one expected the layoffs to come now, but you'd be fucking crazy
if you didn't think we were all gonna get laid off sooner or later. One of the running jokes
that I've had is I got hired at RT so late, it was like approaching the sinking Titanic on a jet pack
doing fucking loop-de-loops to waste the gas, landing on the tip of it, walking up to the band going, what's going on guys?
You know, it is what it is,
but I don't feel like any of this was a failure.
I feel like I got to make some of my favorite stuff
with my favorite friends.
I feel like everything that we did
and all the work that we put in was so incredibly worth it.
I would not have changed any of this for anything.
I would change the part where we got laid off last week.
Fair enough, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would have just that part though, nothing else.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, yeah, other than the end.
Other than the end.
But yeah, everyone that works here,
everyone that worked with us especially,
I know I gave shout outs before, but thank you to Justin.
Thank you to Cameron.
Thank you to Fisher.
Thank you to Mike.
Thank you to Michael.
Thank you to Cody, Tyler.

Diamond.
Fucking diamond.
Everybody.
Literally every single person who helped work with us.
Cameron Pester, like fucking everybody.
A cameraman named Cameron.
Like you can't, where else are you gonna find that?
You can't write this shit.
We got two camera people named Cameron.
Can.
Insane.
That's messed up.
I have had such a blast doing all of this stuff and we will be doing this until we're
not allowed to do it anymore.
Until they-
Yeah, which might be the now if they watch this back.
That is very true.
If any executive happens to be watching this stream right now.
Oh yeah, and a super huge shout out especially to Jordan watching this stream right now. Oh, yeah, and it's super huge shout out
Especially to Jordan Levin. Oh, man
Yeah, manning the helm and just like doing everything in his power to make sure that everyone is just taking care of as possible
really
Hannah
Joanne like you know and
Yeah to everyone at RT. It's been so much fun. We've had such a blast. This is not our goodbye.
We've still got some episodes planned.
We've got some fun stuff.
And hey, if you're interested in hearing that episode
that we recorded just 20 hours before we got fired,
boy, do I have some good episode for you next week.
And I think that before we leave, before we take out,
before we go and end this livestream,
let's do another Always On.
Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah!
Are we switching seats or what?
No, let's just do it here.
No, no, no.
You're gonna get joked off of?
Yeah, we actually, all three of us
have planned a joke for this week.
I don't know if you're part of our company Slack,
but the news is terrible.
And so the three of us have taken one joke I don't know if you're part of our company Slack, but the news is terrible
Three of us have taken one particular headline and turned it into three punchlines
It's this is your week in jokes
We will not be joking off today. We've just each of us have written
Singular joke. I just don't have an enemy. I can my I'm sure I'm dry. I'm joking blanks. Yes Yeah, I'm opening up my notes app sure yeah, I'm chafed. It's in my fireball offenses tab
Okay
What what are they gonna? Do Griff would you like to go first? I want to go second, okay. What are they gonna do? Griff, would you like to go first? No, I wanna go second. Okay.
I feel like yours is pretty good, so that's, I guess I'll just go first.
Go for it, yeah.
Hit us.
Okay.
And Andrew can take us out.
Sure.
Yeah, there we go.
Yeah.
Internet media company Rooster Teeth, also known as your ex-boyfriend's favorite thing
to yell at you about until he found out about Tom Segura and Joe Rogan.
Shut down after 20 years of service.
How could this have happened?
Said several YouTubers who upload videos
like Rooster Teeth is Dead for the last 15 years.
What are they gonna make videos on now, by the way? Rooster Teeth is dead. Yeah.
We know.
And you know, to that point, I will say I've seen those and most views on their channel,
all those videos. And honestly, the most hurtful part, more views than on our channel.
Also, weirdly all like Scandinavian for some reason. Have you ever noticed that?
What did we do to the Swedes?
Oh, we insulted a dry, flavorless white fish that one time.
Duh.
They were supposed to have been praying on our downfall one.
Why don't you fucking Hinga Dinga
get the fuck out of here, you bitch?
Why don't you take your fucking vitamin D pill
in front of your goddamn sad lamp
with your six months of darkness?
Yeah, you stupid bitch.
Get out of here, you stupid bitch. Get outta here, you fuckin' bitch.
All right.
Uh, 20-year-old media company Rooster Teeth
was recently shut down by a Frankenstein
shambling corpse of a
.
Last week, so that the part-time.
and monster under your bed could pretend
to be good at their job,
I don't have a punchline, I'm just mad.
Yeah, yeah.
But if I did have a punchline
because we had to bleep out
the last half of the thing I said,
killed before his 21st birthday,
what are we, an old timey slain Hollywood starlet?
Yeah!
I think I felt Rooster Teeth touch my ass
at the Warner Brothers live.
But this company, it's the white Dahlia.
Aw!
Please, the look Dahlia. Oh yeah. Please, the look value. Oh, yeah. Okay, here we go.
Warner Brothers is closing the doors at Rooster Heath after 20 years in business, four of
them funny.
