I love Gavin. His big picture ideas are correct but there are little things that he says which are wrong and make me want to reach through the screen and choke him. This is a thread to keep track of his mistakes and the things he gets wrong.

Anything he says relating to guns or cars is super cringey.
Gavin's knowledge of firearms is at a toddler's level. He should either read up or just leave the details out of it.
He lives in NY and doesn't care about guns at all so I vote he just forego the details, he won't take the time to learn.
Firstly, he spells and pronounces his last name incorrectly. He consistently says McInnes (mick-kin-ess) which is wrong. The right way of spelling and pronouncing this is “McGinnis.” When will he ever learn to say his OWN last name correctly?
Gavin has said his grandfather or great grandfather, can't remember which, changed their last name to McInnes from McGinnis because it sounded too Irish for a Scotsman. If you put McInnes into any speech to text service which allows you to use a UK accent it pronounces as Gavin does. He was born in England as we all know.
Edit: Although, thinking about this it kind of bothers me, as I'm one of those people who find it incredibly annoying when Latinos pronounce certain words with a heavy accent in between perfectly normal American English... But fuck it, it's his name not "jalapenos."
He said that person was a bookie and people wouldn't trust a Scotsman with their money so he changed it to sound Irish.
No, the other way around. Irish weren’t trusted in Scotland after the reformation
Hannibal wasnt black
He was as black as 95% of the Pharaohs, Jesus, Buddha and Moses... Not at all.
He calls the ZZTop girls the accelerator girls. It’s the Eliminator girls names after their famous car
Watching latest episode now. Hes saying felony homicide. Its felony murder, and yes the getaway driver is also guilty of felony murder. Any crime resulting a death, everyone involved gets a felony murder charge.
It was 50 Cent who offered money to Floyd Mayweather to read Harry Potter and then Cat in the Hat, not Connor McGregor.

McGregor would have been cancelled for racism if he’d done that.
Wicked Game and Man in the Box are both incredible songs.
I totally understand his dislike of virtuosity though. That music gets exhausting after a couple songs.
It's funny - He often points out how incorrect the news and media is when it comes to a subject you are familiar with - "What else do they get wrong?"
Sort of ironic, I suppose. ha.
He keeps pronouncing “women” as “woman”
He keeps saying "esoteric" to describe stuff, only about 10% of which are actually esoteric.
He says Lily Allen in a sailer suit is peak bomer material
How bad he mispronounced "keese love's" name.
went back and checked, he called him Kelly love
He says Brian Stelter's name wrong.
It's easier to say "Stelter" than "Stetler" was the reasoning addressed in one of the eps.
By the way, who cares about that Turgid Taddle-tale, anyways.
Or was it Stetler.... now I'm confused haha.
It's stelter but he says stetler. I don't really care but surprised he still hasn't noticed
ooo i just got to the episode where he acknowledges he says it wrong. so he just likes saying it that way now i guess haha
Oh yeah doesn’t he say Stelton or something?
Stetler he says
When Gavin tries to speak Chinese he says over and over: "Cao ling Chi" and says that means "I am a teacher" which is actually pronounced "Wo Shi Laoshi"
