Gavin or Google is a game-show segment on the Rooster Teeth Podcast that involves all cast members present, and is hosted by Burnie Burns. Users can submit phrases by tweeting it to Rooster Teeth with the hash tag "#GavinOrGoogle".
The Rules of the Competition[]
- Burnie asks Gavin to come up with a question based on a phrase he gives him.
- Burnie types the same phrase into Google and picks the most ridiculous, absurd and outright stupid auto complete result out of the first few results.
- He then gives out the two questions to the other podcast crew members, and they need to guess who said what.
- Three rounds per game (usually).
Theme Song[]
The game has gotten an official jingle since Podcast 209:
Gavin or Google?
Google or Gavin?
Which one said it?
Let's find out. Hey!
(I'm feeling lucky!)
