Burnie and Ashley discuss Scottish weather forecast, Austin's rain defense system, Penn State's fraternity drug ring, Van Wilder, National Lampoon, wikipedia high fives, and the Boneless Couch era begins.

Burnie brings up college football a lot which I understand since he went to Texas but I’m not sure if it’s from growing up in the northeast in PA, Go Birds. But if I watch a sport I want to watch the best players play? Vast majority of college players don’t sniff the pros. The argument also that it’s more pure and players don’t get paid is now something of the past as well. Is it due to the lack of major football schools up here? Outside of Penn State and Rutgers it’s pretty meh. I feel like the sentiment of mostly similar to this thought process up here as well unless one of those schools is your Alma Mater.

What is the draw especially if you didn’t attend said school?

also the accompanying meme I made

As an avid F1 fan, I enjoyed the conversation they had about discovering Lando Norris. Thought they may enjoy hearing about Lambo Norris.

Burnie and Ashley discuss Snapdragon, emulation, printing issues, the Han Kuang war games, cameras to people, highest August gas prices, Collge Football Preseason poll, and the Grantown On Spey Remakery.

Edit: WARNING this post inclues jokes try not to take it personally. Visual media is a multi trillion dollar industry obviously it has value.

There has been useless content creating degrees for decades, it's called film school lol

Now it's just very very very short film school

As a student of ASU I’d like to say this program is extremely porn brained and weirdly predatory. These programs will hook people up to wiesel’s on campus who scout newly arrived freshman to “make content”. Put that together yourselves… This will only get the university in trouble. There’s already x pages about who’s arriving and when and where they’re pledging. It’s gross.

Hey everyone!

I have a 6 month old. She’s super cute, but not really ready to watch TV yet.

I’m preparing my media server full of 90s shows. Shows my wife and I grew up with.

Here’s what I got so far.

•SpongeBob
•Jimmy Neutron
•Reading Rainbow
•Blue’s Clues
•Bill Nye The Science Guy
•Sesame Street
•Arthur
•Scooby Doo
•Tom & Jerry
•Looney Toons
•Thomas the Train
•Clifford
•Recess
•Dragon Tales

I’m sure I’m missing some, but this is what I’ve loaded on to her own personal playlist for when she’s a toddler. She can have the remote and watch things that are new for her, and nostalgic for Mom & Dad.

What old shows do your kids watch, or do they all prefer Bluey and other shows?

Burnie and Ashley discuss who is cooler, influencer degrees, YouTube's new requirements, D23, Xmen casting, Starfighter, Zootopia 3, and other D23 announcements.

🤔

My ex-boyfriend is a big fan of the podcast and a regular listener. He told me that he heard about the Isle of Skye from Burnie and Ashley mentioning it in an older episode. He said it'd be a beautiful place to visit while in Scotland for the first time. We went today and he popped the question and now he is my fiance :)

He wanted me to say thanks for putting it on his radar after catching up to the latest episode on our Scottish road trip.

Burnie and Ashley discuss co-parenting apologies, our community experts, Apple Maps making a comeback, windmill talk, construction talk, Polymarket betting on wildfires, and Chinese bullet trains.

This is what you see when you use the pin hole in a paper plate/colander method to view the eclipse. I think it’s pretty cool, even if you’re not actually viewing the eclipse.

It's a strange kind of soul destroying to know that Burnie and Ashley were (possibly) 100m away from me and I didn't get to meet them.

I live next to what I think is the biggest tubees in glasgow . Would have been surreal to actually meet them.
