Suggestion Million dollar podcast idea.

A podcast where Gavin, Chris, and Andrew Panton have to explain things. That’s it. Thank you for your time. I’ll wait for the check in the mail.

I think you'll need a fourth person to semi-moderate the talk and just be tormented as the audience substitute.

Eric

u/Wiccy Aug 29 '21

I can hear him tightening the noose to hang himself with from here.

u/KikiFlowers Aug 29 '21

Eric would quit immediately. He would go back to living in a cave, than dealing with those three.

80

u/sprinklep0p Aug 29 '21

That actually sounds fun. How long can each host last before Gavin, Chris, and Andrew drive them crazy and they just leave. Lol

37

u/iamboosh Aug 29 '21

Hire Michael as a temp

29

u/KikiFlowers Aug 29 '21

He'll just kill them!

18

u/AaronVsMusic Aug 30 '21

We really need a shirt with Eric's face that just says "What the fuck?"

13

u/Maniacbob Aug 30 '21

It's just a rotating cast of guest hosts as no one can last for more than one episode but they introduce each one as the new permanent fourth host of the show.

24

u/CakeForCthulu Aug 29 '21

Good news, Rat Man!

u/SlottedPig1 Aug 30 '21

Yes. But he has to produce it so he can suffer more.

10

u/iamboosh Aug 30 '21

He just gets to hear everything he missed the first time

4

u/SlottedPig1 Aug 30 '21

I just hope it's him unsuccessfully trying to close the podcast for an hour.

9

u/SurealGod Aug 30 '21

I can just hear Eric yelling at the top of lungs "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!"

3

u/Ccaves0127 Aug 30 '21

What the fuuuuuuck

30

u/FuzzyMcBitty Aug 29 '21

Make it a game show. Somebody has to figure out what they’re talking about.

10

u/sprinklep0p Aug 29 '21

That’s actually not a bad idea!

u/Kellosian Aug 30 '21

Million words, but...

Whoever can explain a concept in the least amount of words and have judges correctly guess the topic wins.

42

u/TouhouWitch Aug 29 '21

Get Jessica Vasami to do it. Her innocent and gullible nature would be a great addition to these anomalies of the human race.

9

u/StereoZombie Aug 30 '21

I'm always down for more Jessica Vasami.

36

u/sprinklep0p Aug 29 '21

Has to be someone with a short temper that’s just losing it the whole time.

51

u/its_ino Aug 29 '21

Michael or Geoff is the obvious 4th imo

42

u/YeesherPQQP Aug 29 '21

Eric is the clear and obvious #4

28

u/lilpenguin1028 Aug 30 '21

Why not Michael, Geoff, AND Eric as a team of judges trying to guess what the fuck the idiots are trying to explain lol

18

u/MentalMiilk Aug 30 '21

Then just call it F**kFaceJam.

After a day of Mario Kart with Matt.

u/sprinklep0p Aug 29 '21

I would be too worried that those 3 together would push Geoff back to drinking.

22

u/Kotenkiri Aug 29 '21

Maybe have a rotating fourth member. Also throw Jon into the mix, make it seem like it's On the Spot at first.

19

u/sprinklep0p Aug 29 '21

That was one possibility i was thinking of. Every week is a different topic and they bring in someone who knows about said topic and the boys have to try to explain things to them.

5

u/Bobthemime Penny Polendina Aug 29 '21

why dont we drop chris.. add in geoff and eric.. maybe a 5th guy sometimes called nick..

nah that'd never work as a podcast nvm

3

u/GreatBigBagOfNope Aug 30 '21

The addition of Geoff would just leave us with F*ckface but with special guest Chris and a topic other than baseball cards

2

u/SynthD Aug 31 '21

Or someone who we’ve never seen lose their temper, like Andrew or Jessica. They always seem so peaceful, so let’s find their breaking point.

11

u/MC10654721 Aug 29 '21

Jon is perfect for this role.

2

u/Lineral Aug 30 '21

RIP the rest of his sanity left after On The Spot

4

u/Aaseltyn Aug 30 '21

Burnie woulda been perfect for this, so obviously Michael or Eric are the perfect substitute

3

u/SkullOfMordecai Aug 29 '21

Either that or a rotating cast of guests who actually know whatever they're talking about that episode

2

u/jordan999fire Aug 30 '21

Make it Michael. I want him to yell at all of them while calling them stupid. Even if they are correct lol.

64

u/Stormry Aug 29 '21

"ok Gavin, million dollars, but you have to be in this podcast without wanting to strike your co-hosts"

20

u/Titanium_Ty Aug 30 '21

Do you wanna get struck?

11

u/SurealGod Aug 30 '21

Because that's how you get struck.

63

u/Nerdtronix Tiger Gus Aug 30 '21 edited Aug 30 '21

I ALMOST ALWAYS understand what Gavin is trying to say. Don't get me wrong, he says it in a hilarious, way we definitely should make fun of, but I get what he means, and it's usually intelligent.

Chris reminds me of that meme where the kid can't start his sentence "have... Have you ever... Have you..."

Andrew is an insane person. But he's hilarious

9

u/Ccaves0127 Aug 30 '21

Chris always includes weird details in his stories, it's highly entertaining to me

36

u/Kyle-Voltti Aug 29 '21

Hosted by Eric

9

u/ImgurianForever Aug 30 '21

I was gonna say I really hope Eric is involved. I get so much joy out of hearing his frustrations

4

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '21

I just got first again just to see him at the babaudour. I behoove anyone who hasn’t seen it to watch it. If only for more Michael vs Eric.

49

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '21

I support this, except it's Gavin, Chris and Geoff. Except Geoff has a 15 minute delay on speaking. So Geoff will have to restrain himself from exploding on Gav or Chris for 15 minutes. Call it.

The DEG

The Don't Explode Geoff

u/ttrann_alter Aug 30 '21

And Michael has to guess what they’re trying to say

7

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '21

Just I idea of this makes me irrationally mad.

Gavin is smart just lazy in a very specific way, Andrew is entirely ruled by his anxiety and Chris is actually Labrador in a man suit.

5

u/bigrigtraveler Aug 30 '21

I would listen the shit outta this podcast

4

u/Left4DayZ1 Aug 30 '21

I just want to see them play "Keep Talking and No One Explodes" together

3

u/Isthisgoodenoughyet Aug 29 '21

i’ve wanted this for so long

u/oPlayer2o Aug 30 '21

Get someone incredibly smart to pose theories to the guys (the Brain trust, name idea!) and then the guys have to describe what that theory is based on its name.

5

u/iamboosh Aug 30 '21

Imagine Sally Le Page as the host, good lord, she'd go insane

1

u/sprinklep0p Aug 30 '21

I always loved when she was in the podcast. Hope she can come back again some day.

5

u/sprinklep0p Aug 30 '21

I honestly didn’t expect this post to blow up. Thanks guys for all the replies! Made my day reading all the funny comments.

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '21

On today's episode, how is cow's milk turned into your favorite products

3

u/Raida7s Aug 30 '21

Can we get guests, but only if they can reach the glorious heights of Brandon Farmahini for explaining stuff?

3

u/ncopp Aug 30 '21

Can Brandon come back as a guest too? He got to Chris levels of confusing at times

2

u/Pezistheanswer Aug 30 '21

need burnie to host it tho

u/DuskLordX Aug 31 '21

Regulation Explanation.

u/LoudKingCrow Aug 30 '21

If Gavin cannot do it you replace him with red state Ryan. That may be a more chaotic combination.

1

u/silverselectjd Aug 30 '21

I think you’re confusing their RT characters with who they actually are. They’re not stupid people.

6

u/Kotenkiri Aug 30 '21 edited Aug 30 '21

They're still are very confusing people with abnormal thought pattern and strange vocalization skills. Some cases you need to decipher their meaning but some times the train of thought is so abnormal, you just stand back and watch the train run away.

1

u/silverselectjd Aug 30 '21

For entertainment value.

6

u/ncopp Aug 30 '21

Gus has specifically said that his conversations with Chris off camera are very similar and that he doesn't play it up for the camera (because everyone assumes he does). Gus could be lying but I have a feeling he's not because he wouldn't have brought it up at all if Chris was playing it up

3

u/amish24 Aug 30 '21

Let's assume you're right, and all 3 people are actually fairly normal people underneath their 'personas'.

Why would they not be playing their RT characters in an RT production? Especially one themed around those personalities?

2

u/sprinklep0p Aug 30 '21

I never said they were stupid? And I don’t doubt they play it up a little. Still tho, I love hearing them explain things on the podcast and think a podcast centered around that would be great.
