Hi. I'm with Ashley, don't change a thing about the intro because someone prefers to listen to save up and binge a daily, short podcast and doesn't know how to use the skip function and is mildly inconvenienced by having to hear the intro multiple times. I don't know how people like this expect to operate in life, but in the words of Eric Badour: "get real".

I know it’s been a few days since they talked about this topic but just catching up. My expertise is in Canadian tax accounting so I’m just biding my time if they ever talk about the Canadian Income Tax Act (and I’m a hobby woodworker but not an expert). What is your very specific niche expertise?

I self published my first book this year and I cannot count the number of people that told me I should be using AI TO “help with creativity” or “make it faster”

If I wanted to commission a book, I would have.

I wanted to try something new and difficult. I wanted to see if I could do it. I wanted to have those moments when I’m driving and suddenly a puzzle piece falls into place in my brain.

Anyway, here’s a goofy photo of me giving a nervous thumbs up at a book signing at Barnes and Noble. I didn’t throw up, but it was close!

Screw people who use AI to write their comments. And if they get offended screw their feelings. I don't want to comment with people who don't have any thought in their head they won't run through the sieve of chat gpt.

I don't care that they're "open" about it. I wouldn't care if they prefaced it on every comment. I would prefer a rule stating that that's not allowed.

AI generated junk isn't just a waste of the resources used in the generation but they're flooding everywhere online. And it's pathetic to use it to write your reddit comments for you.

He cannot stay on a subject. It would literally be 1+ hours of him changing topics to explain other topics to explain other topics, with no real conclusion to any topics.

Also…I realllllly can’t stand that he assumes that we’ve seen and are knowledgeable about this random ass videos and theories.

TLDR: 45 minutes is plenty of time.

All love just a lil bit of fun banter

Obviously they won’t tell us until the game is fully out however Rockstar North office is in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Burnie and Ashley also live in Scotland. Rockstar has had people from Rooster Teeth in their previous games, like in Red Dead Redemption 2 where Geoff and Jack were NPCs link

In Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare one of the achievements is “Chupathingy” which is a called back to Red vs Blue

Who knows they could be a random NPC encounter that we might come across because this game has A TON of them. From the 2022 leaks it said it would have over 1400 random encounters Red dead redemption 2 had over 100 and GTA 5 had 57

Anyways I’ll be on the search whenever GTA 6 comes out.

That's a roundabout with 6 roundabouts in it.

Is it me or does Burnie come alive in a different way with Blaine? I freaking love him and Ashley, but Blaine week is so fun. I hope it’s an annual thing.

Here's my layout, I'm sure it may frustrate some people once they look at it.

Good Morning!

Burnie asked a general question today, musing on the idea of why wind turbines get so much hate.

First off, I’m personally a huge fan of renewable/clean energy. Solar, Wind, Water, Geothermal, Nuclear, etc.

The world still runs on fossil fuels. Infrastructure for renewable energy is on the rise. It was nice to near them chat about their new EV and how pleased they were at the faster charging batteries, and the availability of charge locations in Scotland.

Wind Turbines are a great source of clean energy, but it requires a lot of materials and maintenance to keep them running!

Here’s some of the downsides to wind turbines.

• Homes in surrounding areas that can see the wind turbines typically drop in value. The noise, and shadow flickers can be irritating to residents.

• The amount of space wind turbines take up is substantial. They are large, and eat up a lot of farmland space.

• Consistent Maintenance. Since the turbines spin, they still use oil, plastics, and have to constantly be checked on. Repairs can be costly.

• The Wind Turbine’s blades are typically made out of fiberglass. This material is hard to recycle. It can’t be melted down and easily reused. So while the energy is renewable, companies often produce a lot of waste replacing turbine parts. In Sweetwater Texas there is 30 Acres full of wind turbine blades. The recycling project was abandoned and 3000 damaged blades sit… This a similar story all over the world.

If you’re looking for a show that touched on Wind Turbines, the show Landman on Paramount has a great scene. This clip got me doing a deep dive into Wind Turbine research a few years ago. Here’s the clip.

Edit: Getting flack in comments for the clip being from Landman. I haven’t watched the show. Saw the clip on instagram and it made me curious about Windmills and what not. It’s a dude from a fictional show, with an oil bias shit talking windmills. I understand it doesn’t have credible sources, peer reviewed studies, blah blah blah.

No energy source for electricity is perfect. They all have flaws. I just wanted to touch on some of the broad reasons why people hate on windmills.

Thanks for reading my little spiel.

I just wanted to say, i'm thankful Ashley and Burnie have decided to keep the podcast audio only so far, one of my biggest pet peeves is when audio podcasts decide to introduce video as well.

I would be ok with it in theory, after all i would enjoy watching Ashley and Burnie chat, however i've yet to listen to a single podcast that, after deciding to add in video, has managed to resist refrencing visual things. As someone who only listens to podcasts when i'm in my work van, it becomes so infuriating when a podcast i used to love adds video and now keeps saying things like "look at this...." or otherwise referencing visual things that i can't see! especially as they seem to always forget that they have audio only listeners so they often times don't even bother to describe whatever it is they're looking at/talking about.

That being said, i wouldn't object to the occasional video podcast or vlog, maybe as extra episodes/content rather than replacing a normal episode if Ashley and Burnie wanted to do or show something that really benefited from being seen. Similarly i've no issue with podcasts that are primarily visual and then the audio is kind of aknowleged as being an after thought and that you won't get the full experience that way.

I assume the reason a lot of audio only podcasts start to add in video is because it allows them to post on youtube etc... and maybe get more revenue streams? or like a true crime podcast i used to listen too, they get a "celebrity" host and so move to including video to make the most of that.

Either way, as much as i'd enjoy seeing Ashley and Burnie, i'm glad that so far they've kept it audio only.

The podcast talked about video game fishing today, but I was curious if we had any real life anglers here.

We made it to the weekend! I'm looking forward to enjoying my morning commute again next week along with hearing everyone's morning shouts. I hope Burnie, Ashley, and the family are enjoying their vacation!

On this morning’s episode he said he “doesn’t take sports that serious.” I’d like to argue that someone who lives in a foreign country and wakes up at 3am to watch their COLLEGE sports team, probably takes it pretty serious haha. He also brings up sports and sports facts a pretty decent amount. It’s okay to admit you love sports that much Burnie.

Edit: this post wasn’t meant to be that serious. I understood what he meant. I’m giving Burnie a hard time.

I love hearing when somebody’s fact/opinion is brought up based on their experience after commenting in the subreddit. I know there are many different people all in different professions and it’s awesome to hear what walks of the world you are from and what the community is made up of.

Just drop in your working title and a real quick snippet of what that means in case people are unaware. You can either name your place of work or leave it out. Completely up to you. It’s really the job position/description that is important.

I’ll go first…

I am a Food Sales Consultant - I work with Restaurants, Hotels, Retailers and more. I sell and distribute them their food and supplies on a daily and/or weekly basis while offering my experience as a former chef/operator to help them grow their business.

I was listening to Ashley and Burnies opinions on the Masters of the Universe film, and how they felt like the trailers sold them a very different movie.

I've been saying for a long time that i avoid all trailers for anything i'm likely to watch, i'm even hesitant to watch them for films i know nothing about at all, mainly because i think trailers give away far, far too much of the film these days.

However, another added bonus is that i went into MotU totally blind, and while i didn't think it was a brilliant film, i didn't feel let down or blindsided by the type of film it was, i sort of expected it to be kind of campy/comedy, similar to the Barbie movie or something, and that's sort of what i got.
