That's my lad. So how do you all want to say thank you to everyone for showing up coming out to our panel? Yep. You're a lord. I'm very, very pleased that you know Jerry and Mike have finally followed us to Australia. We've been coming here for nine years so thank you for joining us. Smile for Bernie. I feel like I've been a Melbourne many, many times, but I looked and this is actually only my trip to Trip here.

Really? Even though I feel like it's almost like a second home. I love Melbourne, love coming down Australia, everyone here is always so nice. So that's the pandering part of the panel. City's great. Alright, move on. I just took three photos, I'm going to a panorama and then it's gonna cost me about $12,000 to post it on Twitter from there.

Wouldn't you use the built-in panorama function? There's a panorama function, you can do that. What's that? There's a panorama thing you can do on your phone. No, now fuck that, I'm old school dude. All right. You got a red Photoshop on there? I don't know. I don't know. I'll just send in three chunks and ask somebody to do it.

I'm gonna put this paint on there. Emerson paint. Yeah. So, I'm Gus. I don't know. I'll just send in three chunks and ask somebody to do a poem with paint on there. I'm just a paint. Yeah. So, I'm Gus. I'm Jack. And I am Bernie Burns. And we are all street passing like crazy, so please make sure you are. Jack does, Jack does.

I don't do it. Not yet. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Gus, you've got a blue 3DS and Bernie you've got a red 3DS. Yeah. All right. Just wanted to point that out. Is there a problem with that?

Well, all right. No, no, that's fine. You can do whatever you want. It's not canonical. Hey, we're hitting our mics pretty hard with peas, by the way, I just want to tell you guys that. OK, fair enough. We're doing it.

All right, so what are we doing, Gus? What are we doing up on stage? Oh, I figured we were just going to get mad at each other. I like a 15 hour flight here. I'm sure we have built-in, built-up passive aggressive things that we want to get off our chest. In fact, I'll start. Oh, great.

So I tried for months to get you assholes to coordinate your flight and hotel with me. No reply. Never even a fucking reply to a single goddamn email I sent. Eventually I gave up and I just forwarded you both my itinerary and my hotel. And then like the day before RTX as we're moving in, Bernie starts texting me asking about hotel information. Like literally you had weeks to do it.

And I booked mine I think the day before I left. So yeah. But we're all here. Yay, we're're in Australia. I actually have the text conversation. Gus was preparing for our convention in Austin RTX. It was our third annual RTX. He's there running the whole thing.

He's trying to fill an entire convention center. And I decided that's the point when I'm going to start messaging him, asking him about Australia's hotel. And I said, hey, are we booking our own hotels in Australia? Or have they already been booked for us? He says, no, we are booking asshole. And I said, have you already booked yours? No reply for like two or three minutes.

And then I replied back to myself. Never mind, you're busy. I'll just go fuck off now. I wish that there was a way you could see pressure sensitivity, like how tightly I was gripping the phone as I was reading your text messages. Just like the anger building up and boiling over. I just recently discovered on the iPhone that you can like when you're getting a phone call,

you can deny the call, but then you can also like swipe up and deny it with reasons. Like you can send to the person, I didn't take your call for this reason. That can? Yeah. Gus, you need custom messages on like, on that. Just like I didn't take your call because you're you. And I hate you. Because obvious reasons. That's awesome. We need custom messages on that. Just like, I didn't take your call because you're you, and I hate you, because obvious reasons. That's awesome.

So as a result of us not coordinating our booking at all, we're staying all over the city. We're not at the same hotel at all, which created a nightmare for the company that handles all of our distribution down here at Annevee. They were like, so what hotel are you staying at? I was like, well, I'm staying here. I don't know where these guys are staying.

I'm across the river. They were all over the place. are you staying at? I was like, well, I'm staying here. I don't know where these guys are staying. I'm across the river. They were all over the place. To make it even more confusing, you and I are staying at two different versions of the same hotel. Oh, you're staying at one hilton, and I'm staying at another hotel. What happened with your taxi driver last night?

Oh my god. Your taxi driver? So we were did press all day yesterday at the crown. So after we finished all of that, I go down to get an attack seat. And I'm like, take me to the Hilton or whatever, to the hotel name. He's like, where is that?

I'm like, that's the first bad sign when you get into a taxi drive. Yeah, I'm like, it's over there, just go down, you know, Colin Street. Did he offer to let you drive? And then we get close to the hotel, and he's like, is it here? Where is it?

Is it around here? Someone's like, the fuck dude, I'm not from here. It's over there, I see it. He's like, okay, he pulls up. And he's like, oh, you mean this hotel? This is how you say it. He says it like a totally different wrong way. I was like, what the fuck are you saying, dude?

Like, he's trying to offset the fact he couldn't find the hotel on me because I set the hotel name right. Oh, yeah, clearly it was your fault. Fucking asshole. Are you sure not hide what hotel you're staying at? Yeah, absolutely. So I didn't understand why people didn't tip taxi drivers until actually got in a fucking taxi in Melbourne. This has to be the worst taxi drivers I've ever experienced in the whole world.

On that same note, I will say, you guys, so you guys drink awesome here, right? So you guys are good drinkers. Why don't, there we go. Why don't restaurants here let you drink? I've noticed that, every time we order a beer and then we have to wait 45 minutes to get another beer. What's with that? We have to order pictures for ourselves, I guess.

We should just drink... Just go to a photo bar. They can't drink it in their hair. Just drink. Have a liquid dinner. And our last time we came here, Brandon, who works with us at Ruchertief, works. He works.

He came down with me and he had never been to Australia before and I said, I don't warn you when you're about the Australian community because they drink a lot. And he said, that's great. And I said, okay, you get to go to the hospital, not me. So I made Brandon my designated drinker. That's awesome. Anytime anybody came up to me with a drink, I'd designated drinker. That's awesome.

Any time anybody came up to me with a drink, I'd say, no, Brandon's drinking for me tonight. And then so they handed to Brandon. I've never seen one person drink that much in my entire life. And then we got separated at one point in the evening and Brandon texted me saying, hey, I'm having this and there's a dog following me and I'm like, what are you talking about? And I said, well, are you okay? He said, yeah, I'm just trying to remember how to get back to the hotel. And I just wrote back, what does that mean? Trying. And then that was it for the rest of the night. And so I found him the next day and he was half-lated and he was at a panel where he didn't say a single word. He just laid on the table for the rest of the time.

So hopefully, who wants to be my designated drinker at the thing we're doing tonight? Yes, yes, who wants to be my designated drinker at the thing we're doing tonight? Yes, some volunteers, I guess people that are for a last of volunteers. How many people here were at RTX? Really? Wow! All right. On the way here, flying out of Austin, so I flew, I had a really fucked up flight.

So I flew Austin to San Francisco to Sydney and Melbourne. Because it turned out it was faster than flying Austin and L.A. to Melbourne, because there was no fucking layover LA. So the Austin to San Francisco flight, I ran into someone from Sydney who was at RTX and returning home. Then when I stopped in the Sydney airport and transferred from Melbourne, I ran into a totally different

person who was coming to PAX who was also leaving from RTX coming back. I will say no one died on my flight this time. Oh, that's good. So I'm one for three on trans-Pacific flights, I guess. Or because I'm a guy. So at 33% of the flight you're on somebody die. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right. It's a good ratio. Now it's weird, when I was at the airport coming, I was going from Sydney to Melbourne. And I walked out like the transfer area. And there was a guy wearing a tower pimp shirt. And I was like, oh, hey, man, what's up? Are you going out to PAX?

He's like, no, I'm going to Adelaide. OK, cool. And it's like having to be a fan. And that person's name was Gavin. No, no we're not starting that. So we should probably take some questions from the audience. Real quick though I want to get a quick survey. I have been, unfortunately I've been to almost every single iteration of Pax, but I had to miss one of the Pax crimes one year for a family thing.

Gus has literally been to every single iteration of Pax. Pax East, Pax Prime, and now Pax Australia. Anybody in the audience has been to every single Pax? Wow! That is an exclusive club. Are Jerry and Mike in here? They might be the only one. There's someone over there standing up.

I'm curious. Did anybody travel down from the States to come to Australia to get a pack. So they're right there. There we go. I did. Do I count? I did too. I'm going to Adelaide though. So with my power I'm sure. Alright, so I see some Mitellate in the back. So I see some Mike's. Adelaide is a sister city in Austin. Yeah, it is. Jesus. Yeah, it is. Yeah. So, yeah, we'll do Q&A if anyone has questions, you can go up to either of those mics.

One question though, before you guys start lining up, we'll go ahead and line up because you were just in up. But one question, did everyone get a chance to see episode one of Ruby, which debuted today? Anybody see me yet? It aired about what, two hours ago, I think, for the public. I think you guys were all here in line when it aired. No. It was good?

I was watching you check it out, really good show. Just go to RisterTee.com. It's free to sign up and get us to get early. All right, so we jump right in the questions questions Mr. Burns. I'll go for it I'm gonna see you in your pay attention. What time we started? I don't know what time. Yeah, it's a cheap 100 o'clock Right over here. Let's do this guy first Hey there All right over here

Welcome to Australia and all that. Thank you I've got a question for Jack. Hey I watched Oldie RTX stuff on. I think in order to go. Have you got revenge on Joliet? I have not got revenge on Joliet. So for those of you who haven't seen what happened at RTX, Joel somehow got a hold of my phone when I was signing.

And either through my girlfriend who's in the front row, who I'm a little curious about, one of the Your guard is about your girlfriend I'm curious that she might be in on it. Oh anyway He swapped out the phone number that was attaching my phone with one he had bought and then gave that number out at the podcast panel So my phone started exploding basically. I had something like 700 text messages and about you know 500 600 phone My phone messages and about 500, 600 phone messages and about, I would say, four hours. Anyway, so yeah, it basically turned out Joel ruined my phone for a good day. But yeah, we figured it all out.

I got it swap background so I don't have to murder him yet. There will be retribution though, and it will be swift in there. I like how you always describe it as retribution. Why not? Why not? I'm going to get back at it. Literally, every time you talk about this, you use the word retribution. It's a very specific word you use.

Why do you use that word over the boss? It sounds like something like a movie. It sounds biblical. Like, there you go. You're going to throw it in the throat. It's a frog's at it. It might revenge will be biblical, so it'll work out nice. What does that mean?

Biblical? It's based on the Bible. What do you mean you're revenge is your biblical? I'm sorry, what do you mean your retribution is going to be biblical? It'll be something big. I got to get back at him Balls in my court now. I gotta do something to him next year at RTX. Why the word biblical? There you go. That's what I say the fucking steal my joke Exactly what I said like two seconds before you did everyone heard it Jesus

Can I just say Jack if you are waiting all the way until RTX next year to get your retribution You're gonna be too late because I just want to point out that you did leave the states for two weeks And you did give the key to your house to somebody else who also happens to know Joel. That's all I'm gonna say. I'm just now realizing this. Yep. Jack has a new dog and a barbecue grill. So what's that?

Okay, guys. So my brother was one of those people who helped put Brandon into a alcohol and juice karma. I'm sorry. He's not here to see it, but I was just wondering, Bernie, would you ever think about doing another feature film? Yes, I would. One of the great things about working at Richitith right now

is that we have so many different productions that no one production is kind of like the centerpiece for the company. And so that gives a lot of room to develop new projects and Matt and I personally a lot of people in the company have always wanted to do bigger feature films and so we now have an opportunity to do more things like that hopefully we'll be able to talk more about that soon. Excellent very soon. Hope to see it. Alright thank you. Thank you. Alright good night guys. Firstly I just want to thank you because it was through the Rupert Teeth website and the Who Will Result Gus comic that I found out about

Penny Arcade. So if it wasn't for you guys, it literally wouldn't be here. So, you know, it's just that gigantic community thing that I love so much about Paxing about Rupert Teeth. So thank you for making that call. Thank you, thank you. We should get a commission. Yeah, this stuff. Secondly, I'd just like to ask, in your time at Rucite, what would you say would be the most important lesson that you've learned?

Not necessarily something that you use every day, but something like the way you're like, yes, this for the rest of my life, I'll have to remember remember this one thing I think we're speccing authority and liking your boss is really important I wanted that early on I there there's an improv game where he's yes and you're basically like improv the whole idea is just say yes and just keep rolling and that's kind of the philosophy behind Rooster Teeth at least the chief owners is like all right whatever we're gonna do is keep going with it and just don't stop and, and don't stifle creativity.

And so I think that's a big thing in all of the company. Honestly, that's what I've learned. Yes. I think it's to always get both your hotel room door when I'm on a trip with these guys. Or on your hotel, so it's okay. Yeah. Swords goes.

Don't leave the key to your house with a personal friend. Hi. Hi. Um, on our way that that's that. I know that Ray could make it down so I'd like to get us officially to stand if I can. Oh, it's facts. Okay, dude, no one else do that. That was awful. That was a waste of time Guys the question security did either of you to understand anything he said before no, no, no, we might need a translator

Bunny yeah for the last 10 years you've been the head rider of Red vs. Blue. I'm old, get the point, go ahead. Now you've turned someone else over to writing Season 11. Yep. How does it feel turning over your characters to someone else? It wasn't easy, but it's not the first time we've done it, you know, on this scope of miles, Luna is writing season 11. It's the first time it's been done on that level. But the first attempt to do that people in the company, but then also kind of take us that back and do a creative recharge.

And there's always points in the storyline of RVB where, I don't know what that was, which has happened. Jack, where should the NSA now? That's the American Joe, never mind. But there's always much to take us that back and do a creative recharge. And after season 10, when we wrapped up so many storylines, it seemed like a perfect time to do it. And then we have huge shows like Achievement Hunter, the podcast now Ruby, it just seems like a great time to do it.

But it is a little difficult but you know it took us a long time to identify somebody like Miles who knows how to write those characters so well so while it is hard he's definitely the best man for the job. Thanks Mike. Hi, this is my say thanks for coming out and I know you guys come out a lot at SFS I'm the best man for the job. Thanks. Hi. I'm going to say thanks for coming out. I know you guys come out a lot. First, I've been able to speak to you guys.

For the first time talking to you. Yeah. Yay! Awesome. I just wanted to ask about things like immersion and the gauntlet. Yeah. I've recently been watching a lot of them again. I just want to know, I know you guys are in the process of doing more seasons of those.

What's the scale from first season, how much bigger is it going to be? It's going to be so much smaller. It's going to be two people with a handicap. That's it. We're going to just be playing video games. All of our productions in general, as the company grows, our productions grow as well. And we just want to do that. And a big part of that is the work that everyone else does.

The company, particularly as a guy we hired in the last year and a half, his name is Alan Abdeen. We have been trying to find, if you guys know the inner workings of Penny Arcade, we've been trying to find like basically a person like Robert Koo. And that's a very hard person to find. And we have a lot of people at Risha Teeth who overlap and kind of collectively do those business jobs. And Alan has been somebody that we've added in the last year who's gone out and found us great opportunities to increase our budgets, increase our production value and all that. So I can tell you that the plans we have for

immersion season two and gauntlet season two are just huge. We're also for gauntlet season two we're changing the format of the show. I think we've talked about a little but there's going to be two rooster team's one team from the community and then a team of YouTube celebrities. Freddie Wong is one of the people that's going to be on one of the celebrity teams so we really love Freddie. And so this is as we do. Thanks so much. And for an example, I mean episode one or a new episode from Emerge It's Already Come Out, the race car one, it's an example of like, being increased in scale and capability. And listen, I mean, I know the business of them kind of be boring sometimes, but Allen's work and him identifying that opportunity specifically with Kia, that is why that episode

of immersion was made. It's because that opportunity came up and we did have immersion on the schedule, but then all of a sudden we had an opportunity to make that episode. So that's why that episode exists. That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen as well that episode. Thank you, earlier. Thanks. Thanks. Hi guys.

I came up with this question when I was outside and I saw another YouTube celebrity. And I thought Pax is a great convention to be at. I'm glad to be here. There's a bunch of cool things to see and do I presume you guys also think It's a call it a convention and you'd like to do a lot of the things here Unfortunately for you guys though everyone here probably is a big fan of you and I hope you guys Unfortunately, yes though everyone here probably is a big fan of you and I hope you guys unfortunately yes there are no worse thing ever but do you guys like employee strategy so you can enjoy an event like this without just being swarmed by fans all the time and the difference is we enjoy events like this

differently than you enjoy events like this you know the enjoyment for us comes from meeting everyone and sitting down and actually putting faces to the anonymous posters on the internet. And, you know, that's fun for us. What's fun for me? I don't want to speak for these. No, no, no, you can stay anonymous. That's why. Some of you can. No, I mean, he's right. Because, I mean, when we make videos,

we'll put them up on YouTube and we'll see this number. And it's like, all right, cool. You know, like, a quarter million people, like, oh, that's awesome. But then actually get to put faces to get to see a crowd of all that you awesome people. Like, that's this is the cool part. This is what I like doing. So that's a we enjoy about it.

I wish I could walk the hall, but that's not going to happen. I can't call. Well, I hope you enjoyed my question. Thanks. Thanks. Thank you. All right. A plus plus.

I was just wondering what were the end results of the RTX? I won. I beat the cards yet. Jack found the shortcut. It was like a pipe war. Yeah, that was great. I don't know. The final analysis happened like right as we were flying down here. So I think they're still collecting all the data, trying to figure that out. I was saying Jordan did really well.

Kyle kicked the shit out of everybody. And he went from 8% body fat to 6% body fat. So basically, fuck that guy. I mean, he started at 8% for God's sake. But yeah, I think they're going to put, they're going to post the results of it online, I think. Okay, to get in like this, did you guys do the thing where you have it? Yeah, you get in the tube and they blow air on you to determine your body fat. So they have this machine they call a bod pod.

And we all sat in it and it's just basically, it looks like an egg. It looks like the capsule from 2001, the little space capsule. Anyway, you get in it and it like pressurizes, it shoots air at you and it measures how much body fat you have. So that's what we did. We did at the beginning of our checks, our fit for our checks and at the end to analyze and figure out who the winner is. My experience with that was I went in this small room and I put on a silver like swim cap. What did you add? Like a swim cap like this tight balled cap essentially because you had to cover your hair. And then you get like down into your skivis and like tight and you get in this like pod and shut the door

and the pod closes over the top you it's exactly I said this is when I was growing up in the 80s this is what I thought I would be doing in the 2000s stupid stuff like this so I was so happy that day the weird thing is where the place where we went to do it it was like in a closet that's closet closets being very gracious and generous. So you walk in with the woman who runs the machine and then you're supposed to strip down the compression shorts. I don't even know what the fuck that is.

So I take all my clothes, I get down on my underwear and I'm standing there in my underwear with this woman in this tiny room, like getting in this pod, like this future looking pod thing. The room is so small when there's two people in the room, you can't shut the door all the way. Yeah, because somebody's blocking it. It's really uncomfortable.

We're right on top of each other. We really awkward. So the results will be posted soon, but Kyle's an asshole. That's what it comes out to. Hey guys, I just want to shout out my friend, Sad Australia, who can't be here today and he really wishes he could. But I want to ask you, when you're ordering food and you're given the choice of mild, medium, hot, or extra hot, which is it? He wasn't asking you.

Yeah, you're getting answered from the front row. What's your choice? Hot for me. I go mild. I'm going to say your friends at jerk because if you really wanted to be here, you would have come here. That is true. So, I'm not, I'm not, tell your jerk ass friend that I didn't answer your question because of him

Good I guys I just want to know when people apply to work for Rooster T for achievement, huh? What do you look for in their portfolio of every resumes? Well specifically achievement hunter. I mean we we don't do your typical sort of hiring resume sort of process The raise a great example. Like Ray was in the community. He was a community hunter, which means he was submitting guides to us on our community channel. We recognize that he was making really, really awesome quality content.

And after about a year of him doing that, we started, we brought him in on our contract. And so we were paying him to make some guides. Then when it came time to actually like hire someone on full time, we looked at the community and it's like, well, Ray makes perfect sense. So it takes some time. So if it's something you wanted to do for achievement hunter, I would recommend going through the community route, you know, get a huge base of stuff that you've done that you can point to, be like, this is the stuff I produced.

And then, you know, when we are looking to bring in people, that's where we're going to be looking at. So it also helps your practice the skills that you need. Yeah. So it's like, editing the video, uploading it. I look at the early achievement hunter stuff and it is horrible. I want to tear my hair out looking at it. And the more you do, the better you get to get.

And so that's what I recommend is just start making content. And it's like there's no excuse to wait. Start making content right now. The price of entry is nothing. It's like 100 bucks for an awesome HD capture card now. So just do it, you know, and start working on your own stuff. So not nothing exactly. I'm like 100 bucks.

So what was, what, a lot less expensive than it was when I started. Really? Can I have 100 bucks. That's what was, a lot less expensive than it was when I started. Really? Can I have 100 bucks? Give me 100 bucks. It's not like, I would say the decisions we usually make to hire people, and when people typically ask this question, they mean people that they see on camera, like the Achievement of the Guys, Red vs. Blue Voice Actors, podcast people, the crew of Ruby. We do have a lot of positions that are very specialized in people you don't see.

But a lot of times when we make the decision to hire somebody it's not so much the decision Hey, we have a position we have to hire this person It's like we have to hire this person someone that we've identified like Ray or Monty What can we do to make a position for this person? They would be a great fit so it's not so much that we we need a position filled we go out and look for it It's more like we've identified somebody that's doing something awesome and find a way to make room for them in the company. That's typically the way it's worth. Even Michael, we found Michael on Reddit. And so he did this video where he was chasing an orb and crack down to one of the funniest damn things ever.

The funniest of every single internet. It's awesome, like you should go check it out sometime. But when I saw that video, I went and looked at his other YouTube videos, like to see what I'll see had in his archive. And he had like 30 really funny videos there. But if I would go onto his page, there was nothing there, I probably wouldn't have done anything. But because he had that archive and I'd seen he had been consistent,

I was like, all right, and so actually dropped a message on YouTube and he responded, and now he's working for us full time. We lost Bernie. We lost Bernie. He's got, he's gonna go pee. Oh, thanks, Daz. Yeah, I think, like Bernie said,

there's a lot of people you don't see necessarily on camera Like I think when most people here think of rooster teeth. They may think of 10 to 15 people, but there's 60 employees there Yeah, so if you're if you're if you're an accountant you have a really good shot. Yeah Yeah, parking lot is way too full We just are calling people all right all right over here. This is actually really awkward But my question is for Bernie. Oh, so, bye. I can't. No, no, no, no, but I guess I'll just ask you two guys Hey, I'm selling this right here. This three. Yes, if anybody wants one

I'm just left to hear finders keepers I'm sorry. I'm actually back there. I don't want to say what I'm trying to do back there No, just we just something organically came up. Hi, you guys want to talk to me? What's up? Something organically. She has a question. She almost walked away, because she was so distraught. Man, I don't blame you. I mean, I see the point walking away from these two losers.

Yeah. So yeah, my question's for you. I was just wondering, what do your kids think about what you do? What do your kids think about what you do? What do your kids think about what you do? Think about what you do. Oh, what do my kids think about what I do? I mean, I'm a guy who plays video games all the time and, you know, works

on the internet. I mean, anyone who's under the age of 18, most people watch most of their content online. So my kids consume so much YouTube more than television that I can speak their language in a way that most other parents can't. They love it. You know, they struggle sometimes with like an RTX with You know just like normal stuff of like having to stand still and sign you know autographs or whatever for an hour at a time But other than that. No, they absolutely love it. Well your kids sign autographs for an hour. Yeah, yeah

That's awesome. They can't write, but yeah And I love like making videos like if you look on some of the early achievement hunter videos I would make Lego videos with my youngest kid JD. He was eight at the time now. He's 11 so we love doing stuff like that. Turn off the comments though. Yeah, yeah. Are you?

Hey, so Rucythe is kind of in a state of growth, I would say at the moment. But do you ever see a point where Rucetith would kind of, or Achievement Hunter would move into kind of game reviews? And that sort of thing? We've been asked about game review stuff. And honestly, for Achievement Hunter, we'll probably never get into that realm because we don't like being critical of games,

as far as like being negatively critical of games. I'm nervous as to where Burning is going right now. As far as like review stuff, I mean, if we're playing a game, that's because we like it. And so like we, you know, if there's a game we don't enjoy, we'll take it out and keep going on to the next one. So if you see us playing a game typically we're having a good time. And this is Michael. But yeah, as far as review goes, I mean honestly there's so many out there that I don't know what one other voice will do. I mean if we're talking about a game on the podcast, it's probably because we like it. So listen to the podcast and the patch

and watch it, she might understand stuff. Yeah, you can figure out what we like. Before we did, Ruse Chetan, before we did Red versus Blue, we, Jeff, Bernie, and I all collaborated on a game review website. And we gave a bad review to an Xbox game. And at the end of it, like we made a joke, the reviewer put it in the microwave

and blew the disc up, because he said that was more entertaining than actually playing the game. And one of the lead developers of the game emailed us, like wanting on his feedback, asking specifically what was wrong, so that he and his team could learn from it. And it made us feel really bad. Because he said he had a team of 50 people who spent a couple of years working on that game, and it was shit, you know, I really feel like a huge asshole and I felt bad about it for once

so That was your one time you feel that so we tend to focus on the positive and the things we like and celebrating that Thank you All-in-side magic cool. All right over here. Welcome back to Melbourne. Thank you I'm on to ask I and I'm so many of the people here would love to go and grab a drink with you guys some time. I was wondering if after the show you guys are going to be hitting up any pubs. And will we say drunk Bernie? Drunk Bernie. Are we going to see drunk Bernie?

No, drunk Bernie really shows up about once a year and he showed up at Silver Bernie can't remember where he showed up. He showed up at Pax East. he can't remember where he showed up. He showed up at Pax East. Was it Pax East? Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot more than story too. Like we were in a very nice steak restaurant.

You know when they... Is Italian. What's that? Oh God, I forgot about this. I blocked this out of my mind. My father and people were going to eat steak, yes. Oh Jesus. And so you know those are nicely lit restaurants, which usually means the lights are down dim when I went to the bathroom

I decided it would be a lot better if we could see in the restaurant So I just went over and just went you shoot with all the lights and Turned them on as bright as possible and Guts really saved you from being thrown out of the Restaurant you probably don't remember but I was Yeah, but you didn't help It was Jack and I were Two of us oh really

It was Jack and I were right there. Oh really? Yeah. Everyone else just walked out. It was me and Jack and myself. No, I went to the restroom and I came out and I saw Bernie stumbling his way into it. I'm like, I'm going to wait here until he gets out because I know something bad is going to happen.

I walked out and you stopped me and you're like, you should have helped me. I think the manager is about to take Bernie out. No, the student like a suit. Looks like a Mopfioso. It was like walking up kind of eyeball on us. And I was like, oh, god, this is going to be bad. Yeah, that was fun. suit looks like a Mopfioso's like walking up kind of eyeball on us. I was like, oh god. This is gonna be bad Yeah, that was fun drug-brain. He's awesome. Yeah, so how will we might we find you what in Melbourne?

Thank you very much almost Surely we will go to the man-a-bar at some point. Yeah, I'd say you guys there then Yes Will we? I gave them a small call. We were talking about, I don't know if we have it ready or not, but they're trying to show a video. And I hate to say that because if we can't show it,

you guys will be mad. But it was Michael's first video that we found on Reddit, if you've never seen it before. OK. Because we were just talking about it. I happen to have that on my laptop, because I love it so much. Hi.

My question is, with all the random stuff you guys do to each other, as Gavin looking cut this thing or the prank job hold on Jack last week. Is there a line you guys try to draw and have anyone cross the line? Oh that doesn't matter. If there was a line no one gives a shit. We're so far beyond the line the line looks like a dot. Yeah we know we no, we, the rule we have at Rooster Teeth is that when we do interviews or we're on the podcast, it's harder because it's live stream now, or we do anything. We just say we're going to talk about whatever, but that each individual person has the right to say, I don't want that included.

Like I talked about something, I shouldn't talk about, or something happened to me that I don't want on camera. And that lets people be more open and freeform when the cameras are rolling. And I think in the history of the company, we've only had one thing that somebody said I don't want the shown after it was made about them. And so it's been good. It's a little harder with the Livestream podcast,

I think, because it is happening live, but we've just got to the point now where you just don't care. Yeah, well, the Livestream is also a tiny fraction of the total reach we do edit stuff out of the live stream It happens that does happen. No one's noticed it. No one's called us on it No, really it happens every now and then it will now All right over here So here's a video We saw the reddit of this kid it this angry kid in Jersey living this parents basement

Trying to get crackdown or if you never really crack down. There's about five crackdowns too I don't know why I torture myself with this game, but uh 8,000 fucking collectible. Let's do it when you get this or we get it. I listen to the voice Come here you son of a bitch God damn it Listen to the voice. That's so different. Come here, you son of a bitch! Goddammit. Fuck!

Why? Here we go. Here we go. Oh fuck. Come on. He's recording this. He's going down. He's recording this.

I'd like to see one person an Xbox live who got it And if they say that they got it you're lying. Oh my god Fuck I need a word when you fucking fucking piece of shit. You fucking old shit. Yes, yes, yes! No!

Mother fucker! God damn it! I think so. So you can see early hints of rage quit there. Yeah, I think it was, so we saw that video and I think the next week we got him under contract and the week after that, his trials HD rage quit which the first one he officially did came out. Yeah, he was working for us just over seven days after we saw that video. Yeah, and it's been three years now or something?

Two years, I think. Yeah, you know, it goes like, I mean, we don't really like, I don't you think we sit around at the company like have like a philosophy and we talk about that kind of stuff. But I mean, we know the stuff we like and we know the stuff we don't like. We were talking about reviews before, and not wanting to be negative. We don't want to be really negative about stuff that people really like.

I mean, we have fun, and we talk shit to one another, and we talk shit to people who, like, write into the show and stuff. But, the other thing on the internet is that culture of ranting, and we never have liked ranting, and Ragequits are one, like, rage show. They get to close that. But the element behind Ragequit that we all love so much

is that at the end of the day, Michael is just a terrible gamer. And he's not mad at the games, he's just mad at how bad he is. When he's like playing cat Mario. Cat is a Mario, baby Dwaygan. All right, I actually remember back in a couple of years ago, Melbourne, I'm again, you actually showed that video, first one I'd ever seen it.

Now my question actually has something to do with that convention. Oh, all right. Yes, you should be a fright. You should be a fright. This is your son. It's time for retribution. I was asking about your writing process, Bernie. Have you ever tried glucose or anything like that before?

I understand the question. What do you say? Your writing process. What's your riding process? Do you use anything? Like glucose, anything like that for it? Because I know a guy. It's really hard to ride with glucose, sir.

I need a pen. No, it's just, you know, it's like, I usually start with a kernel of an idea. I just recently did a video on the Let's Play channel called Game Time, where I sit down with one person in the company and talk about what they do. And the most recent one I did was we played Limbo, Miles and I. And we talked all about the writing process

and the way that we approach things. And I talked with Monty about it a lot too. I can just say briefly that in the early days of Red versus Blue, one of the greatest tools that we had was the closed world and it was limited. And so it became a writing exercise, like Jack was talking about improv earlier, of we have a gun, we have a Jeep, we have a skull, how do we make those things funny. And because we were limited, we didn't have everything so that we couldn't do anything,

you know, which sometimes can paralyze you. If you have every possible opportunity open to you, you kind of get paralyzed by the opportunity of that. And so that was one of the good tools. I would say if you're looking at a tool for writing, is just focus on one thing and then expand from there. That's what I'd recommend. You know, every time you talk about the skull, I always think about the contest to replace Simmons. And when Donut and the skull are competing and Donut's in your face, bone head. I think one of my favorite readings that all of Red vs Blue is Don's exchange there. I like how I was answering the question, Gustave needed about himself, that's me.

I'm up here too, I can talk. I just want to start by saying thank you for all the content that you give us and I'm looking very much forward to Ruby, day five, more content and immersion and you said that you're thinking about doing motion pictures, but there's one motion picture I haven't seen and I was wondering if you've ever thought about releasing the schedule to your current community. No, we've ever thought about it. We have thought about it but we decided to not do it, but there's a very specific reason why that is. We will never release the schedule as it is,

but that's not to say we might not go back and revisit that material. Which is one of the reasons why we held on to that movie, even when it was offered to be purchased for say distribution or something like that. So the schedule was the first movie I've made. I made it with Matt and Joel back in college. It was like 1958 or something like that. Oh look, did they cut off the lines? There it goes. There goes the lightning round.

All right. Well we can do a lightning round still. There's nobody at the things. We're going to do asking for some questions. Yeah, yeah. Oh, we'll get like 10 more people on each side. Yeah, okay. Yeah, we'll do that.

I was just going to ask, what made you? This is really difficult. No, it's really difficult. No, putting your mouth up to the mic doesn't make it easier. Yay! I was just gonna ask, what made you think of having two teams in the middle of a box canyon to them hunting down a director of an AI company? I was really drunk.

Yeah. I was like, I got... You know where this mental process is? You're saying, I took up my course master. Yep. I'm so... What was it like going from a small like six or seven people recording lines in a closet to now having 60 people,

had this massive company, all these different products and all these new younger people coming in. Just, what was it like? I don't think I was younger. Is it coming this old? Parking's a nightmare now. It used to be a lot easier. I don't know, Bernie.

Well, the biggest thing is you're asking to be getting kind of described. It's like, now when I describe the company, I don't have to say, uh, I go in a spare bedroom every Thursday night with four of my friends and we record videos for the internet. Also, it's not porn. I don't have to say that. It's nice having to finish the description of your company and end with, it's not porn.

So, that's probably the biggest best change, I would say. Gus, what about you? You're there in those early days? Yeah. It's, it's,? Yeah, it's crazy. It's weird to find so many different people who are so passionate about what they're doing and working on things together. It seems like we've been really fortunate with the people we hire that people are motivated

to work on their own. And it's kind of like a herd of cats, I always say. It's like no one's really pushing them, but everyone's kind of moving on their own. And it's kind of like a herd of cats, I always say. It's like no one's really pushing them, but everyone's kind of moving on their own in that same direction, which is really cool. That would be a great show for the internet. Heard of cats. Yeah, it's a cat.

Do I mean amazing on Reddit? But Jack, I mean, Jack is, if you asked me and Gus, we might describe Jack as one of the newer guys, but Jack was like employee number eight out of 60. So, you know, Jack's one of the original guys. but Jack was like employee number eight out of 60. So, you know, Jack's like, Jack's one of the original guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was sort of like that second gin, as I like to say, because those basically, Monty, myself, and Brandon,

all got hired within about six months of each other. And then, Kerry came on and then I think Miles after that, and then it kind of blew up after that. Yeah, we hired three people in six months, and I thought we were going way too fast. So I was like, slow down, just revisit this. Now, we hired three people since we've been down here. It's true.

I knew when we reached a weird point with that, when the people that we hired started hiring people, that scared the shit out of me. That's like a nano bot problem. Do we want to do a lightning round? Can we do it with other enforcers? Yeah, let us do a lightning round. Inforcers, can we get 10 people on each mic?

How about that? I trust you guys. 10 people on each mic to ask super quick questions. We'll open it back up. So we're just going to answer ten questions each side. This is the lightning round. You've seen it real fast questions. Be ready to ask your question.

Nothing too deep. Can I get a wireless mic? I feel like I need to start pushing. I'm going up to mic number one. Can I move to mic number one for wireless? There you go. All right. Are we ready?

Right-o left-us. Lightning round. Left. Left. Bernie, have you been to Bernie yet? Say the statue. Yes, I own it. Right over here.

What's your favorite community out of all the countries and stuff? Favorite community? I never put all these poems. I have no idea what that was. Can you sign my fan made true? Yes, later. Yes, later. Over here.

Well, you guys ever bring the whole company down to Australia? Down with the extractive. Do you think you do collab with the creatures? You want us to collab? There you go. Hey. Do you want to follow Jack? Yes.

Yes, drink, yes. What is day nine? No. Jack. Did you get to keep the giant terror of pimps? Yes. It's in my garage. Will Jeff be on the podcast again?

Probably not. Spitch with body with anyone at the Rooster Tape besides yourself. Like, are you going to the restroom with any more? No, it's a body. Oh, there we go. You have to grab the alcohol. Switch body. You've got your body, and then you have to switch

with someone like tricky Friday. Alan, he's ripped. Kyle, he's like Wolverine. Kyle, six percent by that. When can we expect the second episode of Ruby? And when will Daisy come out? Next five, sorry? Yeah, next week, and then day five is later later this year will you show Ruby today yeah it's
