I agree, Gavin is really fortunate. He is probably one of the most popular people on TH-cam, being a part of Rooster Teeth, Achievement Hunter, and co-founder of the Slow Mo Guys.
UPDATE 8 YEARS IN THE MAKING (mostly because youtube never told me these comments existed) I have yet to cook anything because I lack a local butcher and this is legit Italian shit. Gotta get real products or become an Iron Chef.
+Zachary Chisholm His Wiki says he's openly gay, came out when he was 26, which is something like 1980. I've always been skeptical on whether Gavin was being honest or not, but yeah, sounds to me like he's being absolutely legit. Kind of reminds me of Withnail & I, what with the older British gay dude hitting on a younger British straight dude. Awesome movie, though. GREAT to drink to.
NormanMatchem Yeah I didn't believe him myself at first, but then I felt it was necessary to look it up, and there was the evidence :D. I never watched the film but I know about it, it did look quite funny.
I think it's funny how Burnie said Gavin is fortunate, when he himself accidentally spiraled into his own millionaire company sitting on his ass playing Halo.
MrOasis316 He was an apprentice to a guy that used one of the first high speed cameras. Which he kind of lucked into as well. Pretty much, when a production company wants to do a high speed effects shot, Gavin is probably the guy that is hired. He may very well be the top high speed camera technician in the world. All because he convinced a guy that owned on of two or three high speed cameras in the world to let this underaged kid follow him around and help out.
I think what Gavin and others might take issue with is that it implies he didn't work for it or that it came from his own merits. The game time episode Burnie did with Gavin you can really see how hard Gavin has worked to get where he is and he is also really talented at his chosen profession(s) All the luck in the world won't do shit for you if you aren't able and willing to take advantage of the opportunities presented to you. A great metaphor to explain it would actually be poker. You can get the greatest hands and have the best luck with the draws but if you aren't betting appropriately and have the correct body language, being able to calculate what the other players are likely to be holding, etc etc then it won't matter. On the other hand a professional poker player can win big without ever having a decent hand too.
Personal life[edit] Hopkinson is openly gay, having come out when he was 26.[4] This can be seen during a film shoot for Hopkinson's "The Good Cook" where he becomes infatuated with a young camera operator named Gavin. IT SAY ON HIS WIKI PAGE xD xD
Right now it specifically RTAA, without any further explanation. So it seems a fan is just editing it based on that and hasn't done the sort of research necessary.
I think the creepiest part of this is that someone knew which chef he was talking about. Someone had that book. .... Unless that guy listens to the podcast.... O.o
TehConqueror I don't know of anyone who would upload a for profit publication to teh interwebs in a website format. In a PDF, perhaps, but not as a dedicated webpage. Too expensive. That said, the only way to Google something like that would be if the website had that information. You cannot search a PDF from Google. You can locate its existence, but you can only search the contents from within the file.
Jason Gilbertson If you search up a couple people from the acknowledgements at the same time, I'm pretty sure they'll be on the same website in the results a couple of times. If you click on it, it will send you to the programme that Simon Hopkinson, Gavin's Secret Admirer, was presenting. That's how I found out.
Gavin is 100% right though. Middle aged gay men are the *KINGS* of subtle flirting. Worked out with one for a whole week before I finally realized what was happening and I just flat out said I'm not gay and he was _soooo_ apologetic lmao Still hang out with him from time to time. Great guy
That was Joe the cat and I'm 90% sure he was Green Screened onto the table that could be the episode where he was a lazy bugger and was sleeping on there green screen floor ramp wall thing (no clue what its called all I know is that its a green wall and floor with no edges the corners are all rounded like ramps) but ya Joe was passed out so broadcast decided to place him on the table they also made him bigger and smaller randomly because they where bored
Gavin really is one of the luckiest people. He was always in the right place at the right time doing just the right thing and if he missed ANY of those, he'd be no where close to where he is today. Good for him. Lucky bastard :)
Gavin really has it made. He’s on two major TH-cam channels making probably hundreds of thousands of dollars. He loves his job(I’m guessing) And he’s got a beautiful, super hot girlfriend.
Getting attention from guys if you're straight is like getting money in the wrong currency, it's useless rn, but if you ever travel over there, it's great
I love Barbara's face at the beginning. When Gavin asks if they ever get attention from dudes you can tell she's stopping herself from saying no. I'm not sure if she was thinking "no I've never gotten any attention from females" or if she just blanked for a moment and was honestly about to say she's never gotten attention from guys. Or I could be wrong and she could just be amazed at the way the conversation is going but honestly the way these podcasts go? I'd be surprised if that were the case.
Jimmi Zmenos Yup, if you click on Golkarian's link, it says right below in the "Personal Life" entry: Hopkinson is openly gay, having come out when he was 26.[11]
one time when my brother was in high school he attracted gays for some reason i mean his previous high school he had like three girl friend but here it was guys for some reason but what happened was he had a secret admirer that one day decided ti say that they were dating so what happened was the next day one of the gays that were really interested in him was like hes mine and looked like he was about to start a fight with this girl and my brother just happened to be there but he did not know about the rumor of the girl and him dating so he properly got in the middle of them and was like wow wow wow whats going on here or something i don't know what he said but the gay guy was like don't worry ill fight to keep you or something like that ad the girl was getting so nervous she got so red in the face my brother thought she was about to faint or something so he asked if she was ok like a normal human being and all of a sudden she throws herself around him and asked pleas help me i don't want to get hurt and that did not help my brother because after the fight he knew about the rumor and by this point he was in this deep how we gonna stop the rumors o what i did i did a segment on the new thig that our school did once a month so i did the whole rumor segment and sice i knew everything that happened i decided to clear this up and confirmed that my brother also was ot gay and the girl was just being a bitch and they were not dating
I agree, Gavin is really fortunate. He is probably one of the most popular people on TH-cam, being a part of Rooster Teeth, Achievement Hunter, and co-founder of the Slow Mo Guys.
And even just some of the projects he's been apart of over the years, let alone how hard getting a visa over here can be.
And he got with Meg Turney

I can agree with that
all be it dumb but beautiful
He has a very soft face.
Beautiful, but that nose though!

First the chef and now the guy in the porta-potty.
i miss joe the cat.
Joe the cat just had a return roll on the pets of rooster teeth RT life video
yeah i saw that.
why isn't Joe the cat on the podcast anymore?
Lizy Conyers Joe the Cat retired in 2013 on Podcast 206. He's lived with Burnie since then.
Joe the cat died
I actually bought the cookbook for this reason. Haven't cooked anything from it, just for Gavin. THANKS MAN!

Did you ever use it?

+Jason Gilbertson Why is that creepy?
They took the part about Gavin off of Simon Hopkinson's Wikipedia page, unfortunately
the sources still exist, it must of been his officials scared of the chef's sexuality.
never mind, people said its an open fact.
JordyT1998 It still says that he's gay, just not that he is featured in a Podcast/RTAA
Riza Hawkeye so there isn't a pop culture section part of the page?
It's Wikipedia, we can just add it back.
Skyler Miller add a wikipedia talk section and start requesting it, editors will help.
7 years later and i still cant tell if joe the cat is green screened in or not.
He is lol
Gavin is 100% right though. Middle aged gay men are the *KINGS* of subtle flirting. Worked out with one for a whole week before I finally realized what was happening and I just flat out said I'm not gay and he was _soooo_ apologetic lmao

Amazing yet again.
I'm just staring at the cat sleeping on the table
That was Joe the cat and I'm 90% sure he was Green Screened onto the table that could be the episode where he was a lazy bugger and was sleeping on there green screen floor ramp wall thing (no clue what its called all I know is that its a green wall and floor with no edges the corners are all rounded like ramps) but ya Joe was passed out so broadcast decided to place him on the table they also made him bigger and smaller randomly because they where bored
I 100% agree with gavin is super lucky i men he is dating Meg Turney
When they showed the acknowledgements picture I fucking lost it
I always knew that i wasn't the only one who thought Gavin was gay at first!
0:34
Chef: I know what's gonna be on the menu next week Gavie.
Gavin: I-I think I need to change jobs.
I love how Joe is just sleeping on the table
Every time I'm like "there's no way, Gavin's gottah be making this up"
Someone fuckin finds a source page!!
I like that the kitty is asleep on the table
The chef’s infatuation with gavin sounds rather sweet
Gavin really is one of the luckiest people. He was always in the right place at the right time doing just the right thing and if he missed ANY of those, he'd be no where close to where he is today. Good for him. Lucky bastard :)
I love the way Gavin says Literally xD

just by looking at the acknowledgement sheet can somebody work out the cookbook? I want to know who this chef is.
Jimmi Zmenos en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Hopkinson#Television You just have to look up what cooking show Gavin was on, using Gavin's wiki page.
Golkarian So he is gay.
I'm assuming so.

anyone else notice Gavin didn't answer when Burnie asked if he was a good kisser?
I forgot that this was the podcast with the super-imposed Joe the Cat.
I have been hit on so many times by gay dudes and honestly, I am pretty flattered. It's always nice to be wanted.
Simon Hopkinson for anyone wondering
Saying he's super lucky like that kind of discredits all the work he would have had to do to get there.
Joe so chill. I miss him 😭
Aww kitty sleeping on the table
He was screen shot in. I think this is past the time Joe the cat passed away.
Capital A on that "And Gavin" ;)
On his wiki page it mentions Gavin!
I'd be flattered
I wanna to find that book
..Does he only think he has one?
Omfg it there
And Gavin
I'm just distracted by cat
did anyone notice Flynt Coal in the thanks to list?
Men really do love him😃
Barbara's face
Okay this is a fun story and I love it. But, it's a little weird since I found out that cook is like 60 😟
ive had more guys hit on me than women..... the stories can be a bit.... peculiar
That guy (the cook) is 60 years old
Who is he?
+Noire Simon Hopkinson
you did the great job on the video. but i lost it when i see burnie making waffles and theirs a cat there like. burnie dont give a fuck.
The cats not actually there lol
litterly googling it when they put it on screen
Joe was beautiful the entire time
Is Burnie making tortillas?
lisa booker No, it’s pancakes
So was this geoff's brother Gordon RAMSEY? Geoff Ramsey...
+CoolAsFinnBro It's his cousin who's gay. And his name is spelled differently. You literally burned the joke at all levels ;p
And Gavin
Baabs in a Power Rangers shirt.

I never saw this podcast, so Joe just sitting On that coffee table is just amazing to me :p I've got a weird sense of humor...
Spoiler: he's not actually sitting there.
Joe the Cat :(
Why was Burnie making pancakes?
I think it was national pancake day.
Caaaaaaaaaat
How much does it cost to have Gavin Free come and record something
#me too
I mean he’s not wrong about getting attention from dudes. One did break into his house and try to kill him after all.
Damn man
That man was in love with Meg. He wanted to be with her so bad he wanted to get rid of Gavin.
What’s Burnie cooking??
Pancake
Oh come on, if some one finds you *that* attractive off the bat, you gotta at least humor them a little
RIP Joe The Cat
