Here’s the thing: RT’s glory days were basically built on a bunch of friends screwing around and doing whatever. That’s even how they approached shows and they could get away with it because it was only their audience watching. Now, they still run that way but they’re too old to carry themselves the way they did 10-15 years ago.
Thing is that might work if their senses of humor weren’t so stifled and their ranks not filled out by utter wet blankets (+ a lot of them becoming the wet blankets).

I didn’t mind productions like on the spot or the Gauntlet being rough around the edges with them screwing around. It added flavor. But now they either a) screw around and are just obnoxious, or b) don’t screw around because it’d be offensive.

I don’t doubt that the way they ran shit caused problems (hell, look at their animators way back in 2014), but it was at least palatable to the viewer. Now they’re just awful.
 
The fact of the matter is the one’s who were in charge in the past are not the ones who are in charge now. Sure, some of them are still there, but they’ve been relegated to back room stuff that keeps them off camera and not doing anything that could be deemed “problematic”, unless they need them to emasculate themselves live on air so the company can appear super woke or whatever.

And yes, I’m bitter. Seriously, compare Geoff in that podcast clip that always gets brought up to him in the Haunter series. There’s a clear difference and I hate that he’s been beaten down enough that he has to be made to cry on camera about white privllage or whatever.
 
I'm surprised a dying company isn't jumping at any chance for a content collab they can get, especially with one of their more popular former employees.
Well when you have people like Barbara in charge of all content and then her insecure boyfriend Trevor in charge of AH, what do you expect?

I wouldn't be surprised if they do a video, but it'll be with Gavin, Michael, Alfredo, and that black girl. They have to push those minorities as much as possible

Not really surprising. This the company that had Funhaus, SP7, The creatures/cow chop, and Sideshow (tomatogaming, criken, bedbannana + their many streamer friends if it had actually become anything) then proceeded to do almost absolutely nothing with them.

The crossovers were few, far between and painfully confused. Sideshow never made it past the premise and the entire deal just fucking died. The creatures/cow chop/Funhaus imploded due to improper management and practically no support.

Ray not getting any follow up just seems like standard RT. If the content creators don't move on their own, then nothing happens.
 
I've never thought of it, but Jon "Aryan Safari" Jafari is one of a few people charismatic enough to completely bounce back after being cancelled.
Only 3 things can cancel you for good. Fucking kids, fucking dogs and yourself. Jon never knelt down to the people that cancelled him so their cancellation had 0 effect. Sure he did lose subs after that Destiny debate but he just hunkered down and came back. Still banging out a million+ view a day videos with not a soul giving a shit anymore. Now, if he'd dropped onto both knees and apologized profusely for his problematic behavior, he would've been cooked. Plain and simple.

I was watching Ray's stream earlier today and someone asked if he was going to play the new Olympic game with Ah.

His answer was something along those lines, "I haven't heard back from anyone... I tried guys" then replying to someone in chat, "oh yeah I did get an eye emoji by whoever's running their social..."

He genuinely seemed saddened by the lack of answer.
If they aren't jumping at the opportunity to bring one of the OG 6 back for a LP, they're fucking insane. The Olympic Games stuff didn't even involve Ryan so I'm not sure what they could possibly be worrying about. Unless someone in AH really holds a grudge against Ray or something.

I mean that's entirely possible, he did show the rest of the group that there was profit to be made doing the same shit they already do but outside of RT. That had to rub someone the wrong way.

Makes sense, since it honestly does feel like if you have tenure at RT, even for a bit you can springboard it easily into a solo career. Like Ray and to lesser extents Bruce, Lawrence and Jeremy as well. I imagine that'd be an upper management call but I don't know who, if anyone would hold a grudge against Ray since it would have to be someone that's been around for awhile.

Can't be Geoff, since it does seem like he genuinely misses Ray. Gavin and Ray seemed to get along fine enough and Don't think it'd be Micheal or Jack either. What if its like Trevor holding a grudge for that Game Kids Trevor comment?

That would be hella petty to hold a grudge against someone for just lightly busting your balls, but it could be possible with how much of a pussy Trevor is.

I agree, they would be absolutely fucking retarded to not make the Olympics LP with Ray. The Off Topic that Ray was on was honestly the best one and I still re-watch highlights from time to time because he brought back that chemistry they all had before he left. I doubt Ray would have the same effect again with how much they changed. They'd probably tell him to censor himself during the LP and that's no fun.
 
Damn, is Trevor that bad? He always struck me as annoying but never a pussy
 
A little off topic, but I've been rewatching my favorite episodes from the Minecraft let's plays and holy shit do I miss the old dynamic. I know we talk about it a lot here, but I think I had truly forgotten until now. Especially since I'm still in some episodes before 100, so Ray hadn't gotten tired of the game yet and stuff like that.

That would have been great for salary negotiations. Just point out how well Ray did in leaving and ask for something better.

Alternatively, they could be keeping it under wraps so it'll be a surprise when the LP comes out. But current AH thinking about that seems unlikely.

I'm partial to a lot of their old stuff. I was a turbo RT fan back then, admittedly but a lot of the og AH Lps are still some of my favorite stuff to watch. The 6 man dynamic they had back then was fucking perfect. Didn't matter what combination was playing, you knew something good was coming regardless.

The Ship, GTA4, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Terrorist hunts and I loved their 7 Days to Die stuff, even as little as they played it. The OG 6 era, at least til they stole Rays twitch account, was some god tier shit.
 
You know my initial impression of Ky was that she was not as bad as Fiona. Suffice it to say that that was a bit optimistic.
-Michael, Lindsay, Ky, and Alfredo are on this episode

-Ky has only said like one or two sentences and I am already tired of listening to her voice

-Michael and Alfredo talk about winning some game, Alfredo says that "they won" and when questioned by Michael he says "You know, white people" (as in they, the white people, have won the game (???)). Michael looks perplexed and says something about wearing a Poland shirt. Lindsay says that she is tired of winning. There is an awkward silence and Ky says that she is "not a part of this". Michael starts talking about their new studio lights to get away from the subject

-They talk about the lights, apparently one of them is pointed directly at Alfredo's face. Ky responds to him with "Sounds like a personal problem"

-Ky says that she needs the lights because she is black and will "blend in" to the background without them

-They turn the studio lights on full blast, Ky says that she "feels like a goddess that is out standing in the amazon" and that her "fro" is her crown. Lindsay tells her, "you're the goddess and I'm next to you-" but then stops speaking

-Alfredo says that his girlfriend almost got them killed by moving the visor in his car while he was driving on a particularly sunny day

-Lindsay says that she has "rough sneezes". Michael says that they are not that bad and that she just makes a big deal out of them. He says that he has never seen anyone else do this and goes on to mock her for it

-Ky says that her first covid test that she recently got temporarily enhanced her sense of smell. She says that she did not enjoy it

-Ky compares covid testing to excerebration (she doesn't use that word but that's what she meant)

-They talk about their new merch, some rick and morty themed shit. Michael shills the shirts, he says "This is like, dope as shit bro"

-Alfredo says they are selling batman merch. He (incredulously) says "It's fucking BATMAN! Who doesn't like Batman?" Lindsay then compares them selling Batman merch to getting talked to by "the most popular kid in school"

-Ky's voice is grating and murine, I hate the way it squeaks out from between her prominent teeth

-"For everyone... Everyone who doesn't know.. Math uh decimals matter so one point zero zero is different from one hundred" -Ky

-"I was getting there, let me get there"-Michael, responding to Lindsay interrupting him

-Lindsay says that she outranks Larry

-Michael says that his children scream at him whenever he leaves the house

-Apparently they (Michael, Alfredo and some other people) ate lunch in a restaurant recently, Alfredo acts shocked that they are "allowed" to do that sort of thing now

-Alfredo talks about that board game that he and company met up and played for Jeremy's birthday (confirmed as betrayal: legacy btw)

-There is an ad read for MeUndies

-Alfredo talks about how he chose his dog's name, Ky says that she likes the story and then makes the conversation about herself

-Lindsay references a movie from the early 90's, Ky talks about how she was not yet born when the movie came out

-They bring up a still from said movie (Robinhood: Men in Tights for the curious) and Ky says "I'm just happy to see that there was a black person in a film from that long ago" and no one seems to know how to respond

-Alfredo talks about doing some bit where he makes kissing noises at Michael (???) and Ky makes a big deal about the fact that he is doing it while sitting next to her

-Lindsay says that while recording (or streaming or whatever) she likes to get close to the microphone and repeatedly smack her lips in order to elicit a reaction from her coworkers. She says that this often causes Jack to throw his headphones away in disgust

-Ky notices a comment in chat that is about her and she has to stop the conversation to talk about it

-Ky talks about appearing on the podcast virtually in the last episode and says "I was up there, looking down at the peasantry... And now I'm amongst the peasantry" while Lindsay interjects with "As you should." Ky then refers to her hair as a crown again and compares her appearance on the podcast to the show Undercover Boss. Michael says that she is the boss and Lindsay says that if Ky told her that she (Ky) was the boss of AH she would believe it unquestionably. Ky says that they should not be surprised when she becomes the boss of AH.

-Michael says (in regards to being the boss of AH) "If Trevor can do it, anyone can do it". Lindsay says that Trevor is doing a good job

-Ky says that she does not normally leave her house in New York because she is scared of people, covid and public transit

-Ky starts telling a story about being in LA and opens with "It was our final day in LA and me and my roommates, we're three black women, we're fucking beautiful, gorgeous people". She talks about going shopping and looking for food. She says "beauty needs food" and says that thickness (thiccness?) requires you to eat. Lindsay interjects with "I'm always looking to eat cake"

-Ky says that she is willing to jaywalk if she has the opportunity

-Ky says that while in LA she encountered a naked man that was standing in the middle of the street and jacking off

-Lindsay asks if ejaculating onto another person's car constitutes bioterrorism

-Ky says that she was disappointed at the size of the naked man's penis. She implies that if his penis were large than she would have enjoyed watching him jack off while also stating seconds prior that there were children and teenagers present while the man was publicly masturbating

-Ky says that "this white man" chased the naked man away

-Alfredo says that the man who chased away the naked man "could've gotten shot" by the naked man. Ky says that this would not happen because he was white. Alfredo clarifies that he was talking about semen, not bullets and Ky laughs and says that you cannot talk about getting shot with a black person because it will automatically make her assume that you are talking about a black person being wrongfully shot (presumably by police)

-Lindsay asks Alfredo about slapping penises for no discernable reason

-There is an ad read for Honey (some online coupon service)

-Michael talks about visiting family back home with Lindsay, she says that she overheard some people talking and almost called the police because she thought they were having a "domestic dispute"

-Lindsay talks about going clubbing (is that something that fat old moms do?)

-Michael says that Fiona regularly facetimes with him at midnight while she is "at the club". Lindsay compares this to their children "coming home from college" and Michael says that he answers Fiona without fail every time she does this

-Lindsay says that when this happens she usually is on her computer wearing reading glasses and has messy hair, she says that this makes her look disgusting

-Michael says that he is too old for clubs but would go to one with Fiona and that he would let her dress him for the occasion

-Lindsay says that she is old

-"Any time I go somewhere, I dress as the baddest bitch in the world. I dress as if I need to stomp on these hoes. I dress as if ain't nobody can st- Like, stunt on this like no, I dress the fuck up" -Ky

-Lindsay says that Ky is fashionable and she responds with "abso-fucking-lutely" and comments on the fact that she is wearing earrings and purposely wearing her jacket incorrectly in order to display more skin, saying "This is... These are the slight things that we do here in these streets." She says that she refuses to go out without wearing high heeled shoes

-Alfredo says that he refuses to go out while wearing a red shirt because he thinks that it will cause him to be shot. He then says that he cannot wear blue shirts because that will get him shot "by the other side"

-Ky says that she is christian

-Ky waffles on about fashion and the colors of clothing that she likes

-Ky tells a story about going shopping with her friend as though it is interesting (it isn't)

-Lindsay further wet blankets the conversation by talking about how women used to be stereotyped as liking shopping (women drive like 80% of consumer spending, it's not a stereotype you boring cow of a woman) and then says that she likes buying branded clothing and says that buying expensive clothing is the same as spending thousands of dollars on manga and clothing from Hot Topic and "I just kind of appreciate now that no one is talking smack about being a fashionista"

-Lindsay says "We can talk about the negative affects of fast fashion or like over pricing things" and says that it makes people "billionaires and billionaires"

-Lindsay (fully vaccinated btw) puts on a mask and walks off set

-There is an ad read for Betterhelp

-Michael and Alfredo stand up to show what jeans they are wearing, they discuss them at length. Ky commands Michael to bend over to display his buttocks to the audience, he complies

-Michael says that the pair of jeans he is wearing was given to him for some particular shoot about four years ago. He says that he was supposed to give the jeans back but decided to keep them because they were black jeans and he didn't own a pair of those. He says that it is common for RT employees to steal clothing in this manner

-Ky talks about jeggings and "showing off her calves"

-Michael says that he is going to the bathroom and appears to grab a mask before he leaves

-Lindsay talks about skinny jeans and Ky announces that she is "about to go on a FUCKING TIRADE" about fashion, which she does. Michael circles back into view pumping his fist and acting excited about the conversation, he is indeed wearing a mask.

-"FASHION IS FUCKING SUBJECTIVE, YOU CAN WEAR WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT, THE ONLY THING THAT FUCKING MATTERS IS THAT YOU FEEL GOOD IN WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE WEARING, FUCK THE REST, FUCK THE HATERS, DO YOU THINK YOU LOOK GOODyou look fucking good. Anyone that doesn't think so bring them to me" -Ky

-"Ky is giving me permission to come into the next Off Topic just struttin' my thong"-Alfredo

-Alfredo says that he had trouble finding a thong in San Francisco and says that it is "the gay capitol of the world"

-Alfredo says that he is willing to go to gay clubs but not regular ones

-Ky talks about the show "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", something about straight men going to gay bars and that it "defeats the purpose" because "they are coming into our space to feel better about themselves." She also says that she goes to clubs for the express purpose of hooking up

-"I- I mean like I hate to say it but it's totally true it's like maybe the vibe is like less, rapey? Um because of unfortunate like toxic masculinity and standards that have been placed on people?" -Lindsay, in reference to gay clubs

-Lindsay talks about her gay theater friends from college and how some guy was "being a creep" to one of her lesbian friends. One of her gay male friends asked the guy if he was gay and was very upset to find out that he was not

-Alfredo says that while out dancing he had "a couple of hands down his pants" and he politely told the person/people that he was not interested

-Michael returns to set and kicks his leg into the air. Lindsay asks "What is white trash about that?" for no discernable reason

-Ky tells the audience that she is "fuckin' black" "in case you didn't know that". Alfredo pretends to be surprised that she is black as a joke and Ky asks if him if she is "white passing" or "asian passing" and that she "gets both". Alfredo has no idea how to respond and she tells him with an air of smugness that "I'm black, thanks"

-Ky says that she went to Barcelona and went to out to clubs "every night" while she was there

-"I'm always looking cause like I just I always I always look for the black people"-Ky

-"They started playing soca music... We were so surprised to hear it in Barcelona, so we started you know, we started shaking that ass and you know someone grabbed me. Absolutely, someone grabbed me so I was like I was twerkin' on someone's son, next thing I know I look up- all the black men found me" -Ky

-Ky says that her friend was also promptly and without permission grabbed by black men while dancing in the club. She says that when they started dancing a group of ten black men surrounded them "ready to pass the buck" but she told them that she is not prepared to be "passed like a goddamn dollar bill." She then goes on to say that clubs are dangerous and seems oblivious to the fact that her story makes black men seem like rutting animals

-They ring the first bell and Michael awkwardly begs the audience to become first members

-Michael talks about their new show called Camp Betrayal (it was posted about earlier in the thread). He says that he is very excited about it and that it was a lot of fun

-Alfredo and Michael talk about how during the filming of the show everyone kept interrupting Eric (he had a script that he was supposed to read) and had to be told repeatedly to settle down so they could get through the production

-Lindsay says that she enjoyed the shoot because she got to "work" with Charlotte (who I believe is the Funhaus tranny, correct me if I'm wrong). She says that she enjoys his sense of humor

-Alfredo compares the show to Survivor

-Lindsay and Ky say that they want an AH/RT version of America's Next Top Model "minus all of the terribleness". They waffle on about it and Ky says that she wants to bust Alfredo's ankles

-Ky says that she is 5'4" and that Matt is the tallest AH member. There is a weird discussion about who is actually the tallest at AH and Michael seems to imply that it's Trevor but I get the sense that that might be a lie to satisfy Trevor's ego (it's in line with his character). The conversation continues, everyone is basically speaking nonsense and Ky gets a look of confusion. Lindsay stops talking and apologizes to Ky for some reason

-Ky talks about her hair again for no reason

-Everyone starts saying random words for some reason

-"I don't know what's going on. What happened? It just devolved" -Michael, describing the state of the podcast

-Ky says that she reads "a lot of comments" on YT and Twitter. She says that she cannot post in RTTV chat because if she does everyone will start spamming the chat about the fact that she is there

-Ky says "I think we're great"

-Ky says that her and Michael play Mario Party the same way, Alfredo says that Ky is big brained because of this

-Michael says that there is an HBO sponsored watch party after the podcast to celebrate pride month and the podcast finally ends

Either Michael and Fiona are fucking or they read this thread because this is just adding fuel to the fire.
 
Back when Mica went on her "woe is me, being black is scawwy in Texas" rant I remember the audience really turned on her. This Ky bitch seems equally obsessed with race, I wonder if she'll get the same reaction or are the "Yas qween!" types of people all RT has left watching.

I was going to make a post about this specifically, but then I kept reading. Jesus christ, she really has no personality beyond "black", and "woman".

Probably the latter, especially since RT seems like the progressive types. Remember how they were at the height of BLM? And then there are the parts where Mica said RT were more interested in getting in good graces with her dad.

If they read the thread, I don't think they'd shut up about it and the stuff they find. SO I doubt it.
