This is a Rooster Teeth production.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us for the Rooster Teeth Podcast.

Please welcome to the stage, Gustavo Sorola, Blizzbear, Brian Gar, and birthday girl Barbara Donkelman.

Happy birthday, indeed Barbara.

Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm excited to sit down, have an old-fashioned podcast like our grandparents used to do back in the Depression.

Thanks for having me. This is the most important I've ever felt at Rooster Teeth by far.

Thanks for coming out and doing this, Brian. He's one of my favorite regular podcast guests.

He got to sit in for me a couple of weeks ago. We did a pre-tap.

I was supposed to be on that pre-tap, but I had a COVID scare. I had a very close contact with someone who had tested positive.

Out of an abundance of caution, I didn't want to go in and get anyone sick. I didn't end up getting it.

I texted Brian the night before. Sorry for the short notice, but can you do it? He's like, oh yeah, absolutely no problem at all.

I believe your exact words were someone who tested positive for COVID coughed in my mouth.

Listen, I don't want to get into specifics, but I may or may not have tasted COVID.

And it might be delicious. I'm sorry to tell you. That's why it's so contagious.

It's why it's so contagious. Also, Brian, I haven't seen your face before because we were in the back. It's dark, so I'm so safe.

I'm so sorry. I was like, oh, this is what Brian looks like. We've been talking for about 30 minutes. I have no idea what you look like in the dark.

Isn't it beautiful? Yeah. It was like we were all a witness protecting back there.

We needed our voices modulated. And then Fat Tony told me to kill.

There's like a dim red light, and that's it. You can really see each other.

And of course, for the first time on RT Podcast, we have Blizz joining us.

Y'all talk about being, this is my first time at RTX. Talk about being on the RT Podcast.
