Hey everybody
Burnie: I'm Burnie.
Gus: I'm Gus.
Burnie: And we are gonna be watching some old Rooster Teeth videos
And commenting on them
Gus: I don't know why but let's do it. We're gonna feel bad about ourselves. Burnie: So we can feel old.
Gus: Yeah, we're gonna probe the annals of Rooster Teeth history.
Gus: Roll that beautiful bean footage
Burnie: Alright so first we're watching chain of thought this is one of the shorts from the first
epis-first season of Rooster Teeth shorts
and it's in the old Congress office
Gus: Yep, I remember that office
Burnie: I don't think that shirt would fit me anymore
Gus: It would still fit..you'd fit in it
Burnie: So this was one, these were always fun to shoot
but whenever we shot a short back in these offices, it always stopped our entire day
Gus: It also stopped the air conditioner, you can see it on Geoff here
that's why he's kinda sweaty, because it would get incredibly hot in that office.
Burnie: And this one was, I didn't write this one, I think Matt wrote this one, right?
Gus: I think so
Burnie: Yeah
Gus: That explains why he's so prominent in it
Burnie: Oh that would make sense. He puts himself in it.
Actually, I don't know if this is season two or season one
because, the season one--we'll know if it's season one because we always
made such an effort in the early shorts to connect them all in some way.
Gus: Oh right
Burnie: Like if someone walks by in the background, we'll know
Burnie: So that's exactly what I think you think all the time
Gus: Oh yeah, all the time
Gus: My, uh, I've learned to smile a little better since then
Burnie: Was, was Geoff on a British sitcom? Why does he have that hair?
Gus: He was the fifth Beatle
Burnie: So what do you think your best look is? Do you think this is your best look?
Gus: This was the start of my "I didn't get a hair cut for 18 months phase"
Burnie: Yeah
Gus: And it's really starting to grow out there
Burnie: Yeah I have a picture of you
like against that banner that mural from the offices you know and it's like it's like
the best photo you ever took but it's like I think right after this era
Gus: So what is an actualization report did we ever figure that out
Burnie: No, you try to make up something that sounded officially business like
Gus: It does sound official
See, I remembered it here, I didn't remember it there
Burnie: Yeah. These were the first times
we ever appeared on camera too. Like up until this point it was all all we done
had been Red vs Blue and we never appeared as ourselves so
this was the first time that some people were getting to look at who we were sorry about that
Gus: yeah that's their loss for sure.
Burnie: I thought that Joel has caboose on his monitor
Burnie: Well there's a tip jar so that is a connection so this tip jar's a
connection to one of the previous shorts
Gus: I forget where Joel is sitting
that's not where he actually sat didn't Nathan sit there
Burnie: Or I sat there no I
sat in the back
Gus: Yeah I know I that was my actual desk I remember that
Burnie: We moved around a bunch the thing that really upsets me I think about this is
that in one of the shot as you can see all the hard drives from all the
archives they made over the years which then once I turned them over to Rooster Teeth
they just fucking disappeared into the ether and then they complained to us for
never keeping backups of anything look at those, see look at those hard drives
stacked right behind Joel yeah photographic evidence there's four of them there
Gus: There's also Pongo
Burnie: God damn it, like where are those drives today?
Where do they live? Sorry
Oh Joe the cat god I miss that cat
Gus: It's a wonderful butthole he's got there
Burnie: yeah it's like what is it it Nico
Atsume? Gus: Yeah, it's like a little star.
Burnie: So Joe was a gift that I got from my ex she gave him to me one day
didn't ask me if I wanted...oh it's my prized possession!
My favorite thing ever in the history of Rooster Teeth
are the Russian dolls based on the based on the freelancer characters I
always loved that basically based on the meta
Burnie: I think most of my appearance in RT
shorts in the early days were grimacing in some way
Gus: Grimacing or holding a
sandwich and flopping it at someone were the two
Burnie: That was my two big
emotes that I had
Gus: We had a lot of sandwiches in the early days I don't know why
Burnie: Now look we had a button at the end of this one
Gus: Cameo by a young Gavin Free
Burnie: He's no longer young he's now 30 years
old middle-aged man
And Nathan's is a successful filmmaker
somebody in this commission turned out to be one glad it was him
Gus: subscribe with some extra spaces at the end for some reason
Burnie: Well it's gotta make the button biggest so people know to click it, otherwise how
would they know to subscribe unless you told them to like and subscribe which
by the way you should like and subscribe
Gus: Which it totally works
that's why people do it, people make fun of it but it works
