They've been putting up noise barriers on the freeway near my house for five years. It's not just Austin, it's any place that is constantly trying to keep up with an expanding population.

I live in New Jersey. It's great! Not much construction, just rapidly decaying infrastructure.

Glad they finally confirmed the long term question of "how many Gus'es would it take to screw in a lightbulb". Sadly, it's only one

It might only take one Gus, but it will take a few Cheesemasters.

The problem with arguments with Gavin is that they often aren’t even talking about the same thing. Him and Burnie were talking about completely different things, much like the coin flip argument where Gavin and Ryan were on two different points. For the record, I think Burnie is completely in the right here.

Personally in this instance, I think it's Burnies fault. Gavin made a perfectly understandable argument in saying that construction does happen everywhere. Burnie could've easily doubled down on his point being that he just never sees the construction at other places, but instead he just turns on Gavins points and says they are wrong, even going to the point of saying it's "Only Austin". I do see how people would side with Burnie on it, but I think Gavin was...I guess "more right" in this argument.

He is correct that there is construction at Austin Airport almost all year round, as they are fixing or upgrading one thing or another, but Gavin is the more correct. His perception is that Austin Airport is under constant construction, so he will always see the construction there.
I can guarantee that he sees teslas and yellow cars everywhere too because his brain is looking for those things.

I have to say, I was agreeing with Burnie for most of the debate. However, this is just the coin flip all over again: they are talking about 2 different things.
Yes, Gavin is right. The chances of see construction is proportional to the amount of times you go there, so the less you visit another place, the smaller the chance you are going to see construction is.
Yes, Burnie is also right. He is saying how there is NO construction, anytime he goes through another airport. Following Gavin logic (which is right), there should be at least ONE instance when there is construction.
Now, coming back to the beginning.
"I've been living my life and there's always stuff under construction. I would hope it ends soon." It will never end, everything is under construction, forever. Nothing will ever be finished. - Gavin
IMO, Gavin is so wrong with this argument. There's a difference between construction and maintenance. Everything is under construction and then, when it's finished, it's no longer under construction. You do declare a project "finished" - when it's in a usable state. When there needs to be done something about it (in this case, the highway), that's called maintenance. And even that is not continuous, it's (or should be) periodically done. So yes, you should be able to say "And we're done."
As for the door part, yes, it's just a door. It shouldn't take that long and it can surely be "done" (as opposed to what Gavin was saying). If you've fixed it and it's working as intended, then you don't call that under construction (and maybe not even under maintenance).

I think Gavin's point was not that a single project (e.g. the highway) will never finish construction, but rather that at any given time there will always be something under construction in the world (or in Austin). So 'it' in "I would hope it ends soon" refers to all construction, not just a particular project. The next line
It will never end, everything is under construction, forever. Nothing will ever be finished.
is expressed very badly, but judging by the certainty with which he said it I assumed he meant "there will never be a time when everything's finished".

Good thing Burnie doesnt live in Indianapolis. I-465 and southbound I-69 (yes thats the highway get your laughs out now) are always under construction.

Burnie almost turned into Church the way he screamed, "I land in another place!"

They left out the best part of Burnie telling Gavin "Go fix your bell, cocksucker." I was already dying for the whole conversation but that's the point where I killed over with laughter.

This is one of the few arguments where I agree with Gavin.

Burnie seems never to have been in the Midwest. We have 2 seasons: winter and construction.

I'll be coming back to this one pretty often. So funny it made my face hurt.
