The Final Rooster Teeth Podcast

·1 hr 8 min·5 clips

Armando Torres hosts the final Rooster Teeth Podcast episode, reflecting on six years at the company.

This episode marks the conclusion of the Rooster Teeth Podcast, hosted by Armando Torres, Griff, and Andrew. Armando opens by acknowledging the end of the show and his nearly seven years at Rooster Teeth, stating that hosting this podcast with his friends was the most fun he had at the company. Griff shares his origin story, explaining he worked at Adult Swim until AT&T bought Turner, leading to a hiring freeze and his subsequent application to Rooster Teeth. Andrew recounts how he got hired by agreeing to rewrite Laser Team 2 on set despite lacking experience, offering career advice about saying yes to opportunities. The hosts reminisce about past projects, including the sketch 'Poop Shoes' and the unscripted show 'Trucked Up.' They discuss creative ideas that never came to fruition, like the proposed show 'How Is This News,' which was intended as a scumbag NPR-style program but became a podcast segment due to resource constraints. The conversation shifts to industry critiques, with Armando arguing that high view counts on platforms like TikTok do not necessarily translate to profitability for companies. They lament the term 'content creator,' viewing it as a flattening of artistic roles, and share grievances about mismanaged resources at Rooster Teeth, citing examples like excessive spending on Topo Chico and consultants. The hosts recall pitching a show called 'Consultants' about business grifts, which was ironically approved by executives. They express appreciation for the crew and fans, with Griff highlighting a memorable RTX experience where he saw marketing bring joy to attendees. The episode concludes with the hosts inviting the production team on set for a final group moment before signing off.
