RT Podcast: Ep. 359 - Happy Birthday! 

1:26:45 - Shameless self-plug here, she's talking about me. No shame *whatsoever*

Blaine and that cake literally had me in tears xD

I'm going to start counting everytime Burnie asks someone to repeat themselves when they talk to him lol. Huh? What's that? Whatcha say?

8:53-8:55. Barbara's face while she is staring at Blaine and eating her cake off the spatula is incredible

As a brit everything Gavin said is crystal clear. I dont understand whats confusing them.

Pretty sure Gav's interview was terrible, "So do you have a degree?" Gav: "I've got qualifications!"

8:30 the stuff between Blaine and Gavin had me crying from laughter. Fan-friggan-tastic.

10:54 Did Gav really just ask Burnie ask how he doesn't know how the years and days work? I remember a particular "Are you smarter than a fifth Grader Lets Play"...

This is very much a video podcast XD

when Burnie said he's 43, I was amazed. This guy owns a company, and he has for such a long time. He's still at the age where he can enjoy it. Burnie is a role model for sure

Happy Belated Birthday guys! May this new year be better than lasts years!

I used to never watch the podcast(s), but now I can't get enough of them

Gavin explaining things is like the blind leading the blind.

"Go ahead" said Burnie

The joy Gavin has in teasing them about the British education system...so satisfying...^_^

the talk about our school in the UK is brilliant!

Scottish grading system nursery 3-5 primary 5-12 high school standard grade 12-16 higher(choice to take or not) 16-18 college 16+ anyone can join and this is a certain chosen topic aka engineering or plumbing, university 18+ but you need to have higher grades earned in high school to be accepted as this is a higher level of education than college. although a college qualification at a high level can act as a qualification to get into university work 16-17 junior pay, 18+ full time pay.

I'm from New Zealand and this makes perfect sense.

27:35 We're listening, Blaine

thanks Gav, just had to watch that entire JFK documentary. its was fascinating.

Didn't Burnie say last podcast that he was going to talk about the Flint water crisis? That would of been nice, mainly because a lot a people have no idea it's even happening. Sad really

I love when Burnie does the add read. Always makes me laugh.

I knew this was going to be a good one. The thumbnail had me in stitches.

Patrick is my favorite on the podcast just because of how funny it is to hear someone yell in the background

I like Blaine's stories cause I also tell stories then realize half way that they're not that interesting

Happy birthday Chris & Burnie !

That outro song is so chill

Why does Gavin look 16 all the sudden

FOR GODSAKE. HIRE HEMBOHERO. #hirehembo

I always enjoy the Blainecasts. 😄

I legitimately laughed out loud way too hard when the cake overflowed from Blaine's mouth.

Needs 100% more FunHaus

the scuba/underwater comment was the first solid argument I heard for pronouncing gif as 'jiff'

Haha the shot of barb happily munching on the cake while watching blaine spit his up is gold

Yay I share my birthday with Chris and Burnie.

I wish Burnie would ask "How do they do it in England". Scotland does a lot of things such as education differently from England and Wales.

Burnie reminds me of Michael from GTA V

Lol. A quantas airways ad played when Barbara was talking about her seats.

i woke up to this podcast at 5 am on my birthday :)

Jesus Burnie I knew that the day advances every day when I was like 10 😂😂

anyone else find it really funny that Burnie does not understand the very thing he should look at when employing Gavin 😂

Same as Barb. I was in the 5th grade on September 11th 2001. We were getting ready to do our start of the class math challenge, every day we had a question to answer before the national anthem came up over the intercom.

the cut to blane with the hats slayed me

Kylo Ren was supposed to seem impotent and young. That was the whole point. His whole arc was about him trying to overcome that.

Listening to gavin trying to explain our school system was painful.So let me explain reception, year 1 - 6 is primary school. Year 7-11 is secondary school in year 11 you take your gcse which are qualifications. after year 11 you have two options you either go to sixthform where you do A-levels which is a qualification college where you do your NVQ which is also an qualification. Then there is an option to go university for 3 or 4 years where you get your degree.

Haha so cool to share a birthday with Burnie Burns :P

The Harry Potter school system is the same thing as the English school system, OWLs are the same as GCSEs, and NEWTs are A-levels

30:56 Oh no, not the Gif vs. Jif thing again. Give it up Bernie, it's pronounced Gif, not Jif, the internet is in almost unanimous agreement about that.

I love that you could hear Geoff's lovable laugh in the background while Blake has cake seeping out of his mouth.

Happy Belated Birthday Burnie!

anyone know where I can see the picture of burnie's finger?

sounds out of sync

I love when Burnie does the sponsor reads

The Fact this is on my birthday is amazing

oh my god, young gavin. i am horrified

american school system is so easy to explain but it also sucks some schools have Pre-k then kindergarten primary/grade school grade 1-4 or 5 middle school grade 5 or 6-8 high school grade 9 -freshman grade 10- sophomore grade 11- junior grade 12- senior college/university grades 13-17 (theyre not called by grades though, it's freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior) and for grades we just get A+, A, A- B+, B, B- C+, C, C- D+, D, D- F i wont say the percentages bc i know theyre different for each school and such EZ

I'm glad I'm not the only one held back in kindergarten, now I have Blaine with me on this as well.

I liked the part of the podcast where they talked about days of the year for a longggggg timeee.

English schooling reception Primary school year 1 year 2 Junior school year 3 year 4 year 5 year 6 Secondary school year 7 year 8 year 9 year 10 year 11 College University

35:00 My goodness, please stop talking about gas and science if you guys are going to keep getting everything so wrong. > Oil is getting cheaper because Saudi Arabia is flooding the market to prevent Iran from entering the market as sanctions preventing them from selling are lifted and to kill oil production in the US by making it no longer economically viable. > Gas hasn't dropped 70% of it's price because refining is a fixed base cost and why drop whatever the variable part of the price is by 70% when people are more than happy with a lesser drop. > The bubbles under the ice are methane from organic materials rotting on the bottom of the lake. (dead lake plants and whatever) > Pure oxygen is extremely flammable, just ask the Apollo 1 crew (Virgil 'Gus' Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee). > Fracking does not make anyone's water flammable . What does make water flammable is natural gas dissolved into the aquifer some people draw their well water from, which is naturally occurring and was occurring long before fracking. The cheif environmental threat related to fracking is improper disposal of waste water, which is illegal but regulators have not enough personnel to check every site on a regular basis.

patrick! I'm so happy we could see him.

Seeing this on my birthday, thanks rooster teeth:)

I hope the RT Podcast lasts long enough to get to episode 666.

in before the new branch of Roosterteeth is sponsor only content that will fail horribly because they don't have the main demographic watching: RU-vidrs.

Aaah this was a good episode!

this was released on my birthday, thanks rooster teeth

Australia: Primary School- Kindergarten (start the year you turn five or six) Years K, 1, 2 are juniors. 3, 4, 5, 6 are seniors. High School- 7-10 are juniors. 11 and 12 are seniors During year 12 you take your HSC (high school certificate) and get an ATAR, which is a rank of how well you did compared to every other HSC student that year. For example, an ATAR of 97 means you did better than 97% of that years students. Typically you are 18 or 17 after year 12. There is also preschool which is basically daycare where you learn very simple stuff to prepare you for kindergarten.

within the first 10 minutes gavin has already ran off the stage. this is gonna be good

i knew about the days advancing thing because I noticed my birthday wasn't always on the same day of the week. it was just something I noticed.

I remember where I was when the Challenger exploded, because our class was watching the launch live on TV.

Really happy about the return of eating into the microphone /s

Since not many people are saying it i will. Kudos to Blaine for that awesome catch recovery.

I'm from the UK, I will explain! - Reception is like Kindergarten. - Primary School is Years 1 - 6. - Secondary School is Years 7 - 11, in Years 10 and 11 you study GCSE's (You have to study Maths, English, and Science) E.g. I have 11 GCSE's, in Music, Drama, Maths, German, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, English Language, English Literature and Geography. - After GCSE's you can either go to College (to get a BTEC in one subject), or go to Sixth Form (to get 3 A2 Levels, in 3 different subjects) (People can either go to a different school or college, or stay at their secondary school to study these). E.g. I am studying at my Secondary school where I did my GCSE's to study A Levels (Music, Drama/Theatre, and English Literature. Different subjects have different kinds of examination methods (Music has a listening exam at the end of the year, but there are also Composition and Performance modules that you need to complete alongside revising/learning for exam.

Barbara, the Happy Birthday song is in the public domain. You can sing it anywhere.

3:50 I also didn't see him doing that, but man did I die when they mentioned it and zoomed in and he like whipped his head around x'D

I love Blaine podcasts 8 minutes in and i'm already in tears laughing

Sixth Form Hype! Gavin laying down the knowledge.

Never thought I would learn something from the Podcast haha. No idea the days and calendar shift a day at a time except when it's a leap year. But then again, I'm born on a leap year so my birthday shifts all over the days of the week so I never bothered to look into it haha.

RT are on their A game recently with these podcasts omg... So good!!! :D

i went to Fiji, i was in an area that was a long way from any tourist areas and everyone spoke both English and Fijian

We need more blaine in future podcasts. He is awesome

Aye Burnie! I gotchu with that Junior year blooming.

i actually clapped when Blaine caught the spoon lol

best podcast of the year

When Barbara had Burnie's phone, his face had a "don't look at my search history" look.

Burnie that transition was as smooth as some of the butter you will be cutting with your new knives.

Gavin needs a shirt saying "I have qualifications"

daaaaaang that end music was sweet.

Proving again that Barbra and Gavin, the two non-Americans know better than everyone else. Thanks Barb for representing Canada!

The one time i watch the video podcast... thank you god

At 1.23 I think they're talking about the Connected. RT Doc, involving Barb and Blaine, watched it the other day and it was good! I won't say anymore for spoilers

Australia is similar to British, you study prep-12 (13 years) and in your last 2 years you pick what you want to study and what you will be graded on for final exams, you get a score and that determines what uni degree you can do.

The happy birthday song is now open domain actually.

Oh my gosh! Barbara with the DUFL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BURNIE

I'm with Burnie. I was never told or noticed the days advance.

Best podcast ever.

when Burnie said "new set of knives" i just smiled

"I'm sorry" iconic.

Yo! Right there with Barbara on the Galaxy Quest thing
