Let's make coffee
All right water is heating let's gonna think about
It Sam I drew a little cute little thing of me when I was
Doing a lecture at the University this guy started a whole gamer charity on his own
Got rid of a Kotaku huffington post that's so cool. Maybe the thing is gamers gift gamers gift
What's his name? Well what a humble guy his name his name on here?
18-year old guy start his own charity registered with the government and everything, that's awesome
Thank You Bernie like I did anything at all whatsoever tell you dude, whatever your name is hot water
Well, how'd you get again?
Grind, I'm not sighs grunts sighs is that right?
This thing that work tigers
Look dad that's glorious here. We go that seems like it's hot enough. I don't want my coffee any harder than hundred eighty-five degrees
Serious business now all right brew don't single a double busy a double morning. It's making noise all right guys
That's it. That's like nothing
nope
Best Buy October 6. Let's not drink that one. What is those milk that's expired. This is season of milk
It's Mack. I'm not drinking coffee without milk
cappuccino without milk just like Pacino I
Know what that means got milk?
All right, you know all right come on come on, but where's all the fluff. There's a lot of production for no fluff
Now I can do that get in there hey good morning, let's talk about our, TX London
That was so not worth it all
Right so explanation Ashley got me this super fancy coffeemaker
It's there in the back, and I don't know how to run it, but Ellie does know how to run it
But she's on vacation this week. Okay, so this last week we went to
RTX London which was the first time we've ever done the r-tx series of conventions
Over in Europe don't start throwing geography stuff at me
I know that you know a lot of people don't consider the UK to be in Europe proper
But it was the first time
I never crossed the Atlantic to go do that and it was the first year event I had an absolute blast
Because it's a first year event we couldn't sell as many tickets as we'd like to
and we also as a result of that can't send as many people as we normally can to a bigger convention so
First year events are always interesting and r-tx London was no exception. I don't know how many people know this but
historically for
Roosterteeth London is our biggest city in terms of viewership if you ever look at any video
And you break it down by city London's always bigger than New York, Los Angeles
even Sydney
Toronto is our big city in Canada. You know we'll see if that changes. Maybe one day
It'll be Japan because it shows like Ruby or something like that but for now they have the crown. Ah look no pun intended
That's a the Queen all right so r-tx
London was a pretty traditional convention
You know we had a bunch of signings got to meet people across three different signings that I did
People were always wandering the floor as well
My favorite panel that I did was actually on the very first day. We did a
million dollars, but panel
But Patrick Matthews in a stroke of brilliance said we should rename the million dollars, but panel to something more British
And he came up with a million pounds although
Sometimes we have audience participation. I'm not an audience participation kind of guy. I mean when I'm in the audience
I just want to be in the audience and watch something
I do not want to participate when people come down in the crowd with a mic and like get away from me you jackass
There are some people that like to participate
and maybe they should miss me they shouldn't because they don't really come with the best material the
Exception to that is every time we do a million dollars, but panel
The audience just comes with these amazing scenarios
and we've done three of them now Austin Sydney and r-tx in London and every single time that we've done it the audience has just
Floored us. It's been great every single time
We have an incredible street going with this panel and these shows so let's not mess it up wherever we go next
I'm looking at you moon, it ended with this really cool moment where I'm not sure how it happened but
Suddenly Ellie had everyone up on their feet, and she had them all singing god save the queen
It was really cool, it was it was a really fun moment
you know conventions are a little weird for us from a numbers perspective because
It does take a lot of people in the company to go and attend these conventions
and it does
Take about a week of everyone's time to travel there and be at the con and everything else it takes a ton of high energy
There's some stuff that you don't see like on the first day that we were all there
we did rounds of interviews and you know we have to block off certain lot of times for press because
Conventions are they're just useful for that. I mean really when you think about other entertainment companies
They go to the conventions just for the advertising parts of it. You know when Game of Thrones or HBO goes to comic-con
It's just just for the press and just for the advertising stuff our thing is an actual event that we own
But then we also have to do all that other stuff as well
Yeah, so Sophie booked us all we went to unilag we were all there at the unilateral. Tsa's and I realized very quickly that
we were gonna be there for a while because they had to go through all the different departments and interview everybody so I
quickly started jockeying for position and trying to get in into the first interview slot if I could so who's my girl so
She hooked me up with that. Also. I did sneak Gavin as well
That was that was just me being a bro and getting them in there. No no I said, bro
I'm not a pro some of the panel's that we do are not
You know core to what we do every single day at roosterteeth
But we have to join in because there's less of our you know named talent or on-camera talent
That's there, so you kind of gotta jump in on some stuff
We all just do our best to try to make it a really good show yeah
and then signings are always great because signings are my chance where I can actually have a conversation with people and
as Bethany announced at the convention we're gonna be announcing another edition of
R-tx somewhere else in the world, so we just continue to work our way around in fact this coming week
I am on my way down to Melbourne Australia. I am going to the
pax Australia
Convention where I'm gonna be the they don't call it the keynote they call it the storyteller
So I have this really cool slot at the beginning of the convention to open the con
Where I'll have an hour on stage. I think it's right after Jerry and Mike go up and
Just gonna tell stories about you know roosterteeth
About the Internet one of these I want to focus on and this will probably be
One of my last speaking engagements that I do, I just turned down some stuff at the university level
I just you know wrote off some of the other conventions
I normally go to that are not r-tx, but now the r-tx is going all the way around the world
That's gonna. Keep me busy enough if I have to go to for RTX is a year
That's one every three months, and I don't have to go to all of them, but so far. I've been at every single one
You know if I'm gonna do that that's that's enough time away from the office
You know traveling away from the kids and everything that you know
I just don't think that I have to go to every other con that I used to but pax
Is very special to the history of roosterteeth because that's where we got our start in live events
When we went to the very first pax we were selling DVDs out of a suitcase
In a folding table in the lobby
And it's where we learned everything that we needed to learn in order to make a convention series like r-tx, so
Always a very special place in my heart, and I'm really happy that well. It's probably not true
What I think of as one of my last speaking engagements will be at pax, Australia
So if you're in Melbourne come by and say hello, I'll also be at the Hanabi booth
I'm not a challenge going
I I gave my last ones away in London
So they didn't quite last me all the way through the year like I could hoped if you're in the area
Please come out and say hey to me Ellie will be back next week. She'll have some
Really interesting tales to tell from wherever she is doing whatever. She's doing and hopefully
The coffee will be a little bit better next week. We'll see have a great week. Everybody. We'll see you next time
