Off Topic: Ep. 80 - The Gang Solves America’s Gun Problem 

God Micheal is slowly looking more and more like a father, dunno why new glasses and a baseball hat makes it look like that though.

The reason I think everyone loves Elyse, at least for me, is that I can empathize with her shyness but she still willing to be herself no matter how different she may be. That fact that she owns it makes her even more awesome.

Elyse!!! ...James is cool too.

this is perhaps the best combination of Funhaus and AH possible

Did you guys know Elyse weighs like 105 lbs and is like a sister to Adam?

3:44 That didn't age too well

Please get James and Elyse on the podcast more This specific group of people fits together really well!

Wide Shot. Sounds like a name for some lesser known Transformer.

Elyse is the best, she's so funny

Elyse is my absolute favourite.

Elyse really is the greatest.

there is a sign that's fairly common in Texas that's just a picture of a gun with the phrase "WE DON'T CALL 911"

Michaels slowly turning into a Ryan/Jack/Dad hybrid creature

I'm a simple man. I see Elyse in the thumbnail, I click it.

Michael is slowly transforming into Burnie.

Michael may have just became my favorite member of RT. Dude has a plan on protecting his family and is honest about hoping he never has to follow through with it.

*Shout out to whoever just created the Calculator Channel* Good job sir.

I just want to look into James' eyes all day long.

"Hotels are fun, cause, they're like, not your house" - It's that sort of crisp intellectual insight from Michael that keeps me coming back.

Eerie hearing Michael and Gavin go back and forth on an armed break-in when in a few months Gavin and Meg will be hiding from a psycho gunman in their house

Elyse's jokes are less satisfying without Bruce's laugh to followup.

I like Elyse's look at James after he mentions the 69 channel. It's like "THIS is why I married you."

This may be my favorite off topic ever! There was sustained conversation throughout the entire podcast! It never once got dull! I love James and Elyse! Would love for them to be back on another episode! 😄

Gavin is How To Basic Confirmed

Elyse is the best thing that has ever happened to Roosterteeth, ever.

nice always sunny title

Sometimes when Michael tries to call Gav out for his BS, it just is Michael being petty and Gav looks so smug after, haha I love this crew.

"I'm not really a shots guy, So I think I'll pour seven" Oh god that had me dying, so much that I am now taking a shot in solidarity with them.

"If you pull out the clip your good" don't ever let Gavin touch a real firearm

Actually the best part of my weekends

1:36:14 Oh how the times have changed

"There's no such thing" (as girly drinks) Gavin just went up a peg in my book.

The calculator people, should be called "sums," gotta get some sums to sub.

My five favorite people from RT

When the surgeon kicked in Jeremy's door it all came full circle it was like watching magic without watching anything

God this lineup is amazing for the podcast. A lot of great personalities merge here and it's refreshing.

So nobody's gonna comment on Michael at 34:58 saying "I was sexting Mat- Meg"?

Elyse for president

The Willems are the best with these AH guys! Perfect Off Topic! :D

The best off topic ever , all hail Elyse the greatest funhaus personality , just to see and hear her makes the world sigh in happiness

With Elyse saying you don't need a gun in the city depends on which city and what area for me

36:20 James, because sports teams in the UK usually just use the town/city (without special names in their title) that they play out of as their name, they put FC on the end to not be confused with the local cricket and rugby teams

This has been one of the best podcast combinations of people in a while

RoosterTeeth is finally learning that putting Elyse in a thumbnail will make me watch pretty much anything. I even watched that one episode of the Barbara podcast just because I saw Elyse was on there.

i would watch an episode of off topic where it's just james talking for 2 hours

18:15 I was on a flight last month and West World was on it. I attempted to watch the first episode but had to stop as there was a young child next to me...

I haven't even clicked play yet and this is already my favourite episode

If ManlyPelican doesn't include "I guess I'm a dumb bitch." in the next 'Best of Elyse Willems' video, I'm gonna be really sad.

elyse's sorting hat theory isn't a theory it is said in the movies and books

One of my favorite off topics so far

oh man, it's been months since i watched an Off Topic, but clicked so fast when i saw Elyse and James on the tumbnail

James and Elyse are soo good in the podcast. its a nice mix on this one!

I used to be an ah-venturer like you but then I took a bb to my eye

All the best members of AH and the best members of FH. Awesome

Oh damn. I was just thinking, "I wonder if there's a new podcast to listen to...", came out 1 minute ago. Hell yeah!

you know when your working on a car...

I've never seen Jeremy sit on that side of the table

This is one of the funniest off topics ever

their talk of signs in front of houses reminds me that I want a sign in front of my house saying "If you can read this you are in range" and then it points to a gun I own

Michael "Burnie" Burns... a man who professionally wears sports watches, ball caps, and glasses. Michael Vincent Jones... a man who professionally wears sports watches, ball caps, and glasses. Both of them host podcasts. Both of them have kids. Coincidence? You decide.

drunk Elyse is the best member of funhaus as shown on that EA conference

This crossover makes me so happy haha

when you're in an accident, NEVER listen to the other person that's saying "oh no it's fine! there was no damage, we don't need to exchange info or call law enforcement!" um, no, you do. the main reason for this is that there is a lot of people out there who make money off of purposely getting into accidents and then filing a claim the other person involved for 'injuries' that didn't pop up immediately after, and since you didn't report it, your insurance might deny you coverage if it is after the time period allotted for reporting accidents and collisions

I assume the title is going to refer to a 3 second funny joke and yet the comments are going to be a mess for debate.

I see James and elyse I'll watch

This was surprisingly Great stuff!

I'm really happy about the gun discussion in this podcast. They approached it calmly, professionally, and listened to other's opinions. The different attitudes towards guns was interesting because it was very typically split along cultural lines. Gavin took the "not a toy, don't treat them like one." stance, which is common in England, while the "it's airsoft/BBs, chill." was also represented. Both sides have good points, but the cultures they grew up in are key in how they view them.

There's actually a pretty simple, albeit morbid, logic to using a gun for self defense, and it's this; If you are ever in a situation where a gun is the answer to the problem, it IS a shoot-to-neutralize situation. Period. You don't threaten someone with a gun, you don't warn someone with a gun, because you shouldn't have your gun pointed at a person unless all else has failed and you are in the process of shooting them to neutralize them. Notice I didn't say shoot to kill, I said shoot to neutralize - you don't want to KILL anyone, you just want to stop the threat. (this is a matter of intent, realistically you are shooting to kill but you don't want to be telling the police that's what you were doing. You were shooting to stop the threat. You were not shooting to kill.) Think of it like this. Dude breaks into your house. Doesn't know you're home, maybe, just wants to steal some stuff.. but he is armed, because of course he is. And that makes him a threat to YOUR life, and you have the right to defend yourself by any means. But you don't want to shoot anyone, so you attempt to scare him away. You surprise him by waving a gun around and threatening him. Now HE fears for HIS life. Even though he broke into your home, YOU are pointing a gun at him and now he feels that HIS life is at risk. He's going to do one of a few things. 1, Run. 2, Surrender. Or 3, Pull out his gun and start shooting at you. The thing is, you won't know which of those 3 he's going to do until after he's done it. And if it's option #3, you've just involved yourself in a shootout that you may not win. You go looking for a gun fight with someone who has broken into your house, or you go trying to scare them away by waving a gun around and racking the slide or whatever.. you're making a bad situation worse. So to bring it back around.. if you have to resort to defending yourself with a gun, you don't use it to threaten, intimidate or scare. You use it to stop the threat. Period.

JLYSE AND EAMES, YESSSSSSSSS

Micheal looks like the guy in a heist movie that's in the back of the van, pounding away on his computer trying to hack the mainframe or whatever.

My favorite RU-vid brother/sister combo.

Friendly reminder that in Switzerland, every house has at least 1 gun in it, and their gun crimes are insanely low.

ELYSE!!!!

James seems so chill I like him better this way

elyse's face when she realizes she's off camera doing the yoga pose had me dying laughing

Elyse is so fucking awesome =D

oh boy its 2 hours and james is here

Michael wear's dad hats and making dad jokes. It was almost instantaneous.

If this was the regular crew for off topic i would be very happy. (also side note this should be the only lets play team that matters)

I see Elyse, I click. It's that simple.

Only watching because James and Elyse

Paused at 43:51 I called it out so hard I knew it was either hufflepuff or griffindor because he's either useless or a main character he's literally the ron weasley of AH

1:19:00 New directive resieved: Send a Replacement Flamethrower to AHWU

I think Elyse would have made a good Harley Quinn. lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEVER EVER PLAY WITH AN UNLOADED GUN. The first rule of firearm safety is that the gun is ALWAYS loaded: even when you know the gun is empty, it's a lethal weapon. Guns can be fun, but guns are not toys.

I tapped on this video so hard, I cracked the screen!

I love when they all talk about movies and Jeremy is just... There.

Elyse Elyse Elyse Elyse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of coarse Elyse doesn't care for guns, she's Canadian.

Elyse and James were awesome on the podcast!

Been waiting all dayyyyy!

1:56:30

Saw James and Elyse on the thumbnail, instantly click on video.

Happened upon this episode of the podcast and wow... does the home gun protection talk mean so much more since what happened to Gavin and Meg...

Might be my favorite cast ever

Elyse is great :)

Oh look it's those creepy twins who pretend to be married.....seriously though......twins....twins....twins!

This is the perfect cast

I would love to see these 5 people run a new channel together, FunHunter! Elyse is so beautiful and hilarious, and of course we love everyone else too

I just made a sandwich
