Podcasts about Mario Kart

Gaming statt Tech-Battle: Rüdiger berichtet vom Wochenende mit alten Freunden – inklusive Mario Kart, Hitster und einem legendären Couch-Koop-Spiel, das nur noch auf einer alten PS3 läuft. Danach wird es ernst: - Warum Unternehmen ihre Mitarbeitenden inzwischen nach KI-Nutzung bewerten – und weshalb das bei Meta offenbar sogar zu fragwürdigen Kündigungen geführt hat. - Ein 22-Jähriger verlässt sich auf eine KI-Antwort zum Führerschein und muss nun möglicherweise zur MPU. - Warum man KI-Antworten grundsätzlich hinterfragen sollte. - GhostFont: Eine Schrift, die Menschen lesen können – KIs aber nicht. - Ein Mitarbeiter des Weißen Hauses verdient Geld mit Insiderwissen aus Trump-Reden. - Mario Kart in YouTube-Untertiteln? Ja, das geht tatsächlich. - Gerüchte rund um GTA 6 und ein Geschäftsmodell, das eure Garage selbst im Urlaub nicht sicher lässt. - Praktische Tipps für Mac-Nutzer: Tastatur sperren beim Reinigen und die neue Zwischenablage-History in macOS Tahoe. Wie immer mit einer Mischung aus Technik, Sicherheit, KI, absurden Geschichten und einer guten Portion Humor. -- Links zur Folge immer auf https://podcast.ichglaubeeshackt.de/ Wenn Euch unser Podcast gefallen hat, freuen wir uns über eine Bewertung!

Getting owned in Mario Kart, revamped Homerun Derby, Redblacks QB Club, and France and Spain kick off the World Cup semifinals.

We planned a Disney trip, then swerved hard and surprised the kids with two nights at the Helios Grand Hotel, the on-site hotel with a dedicated entrance right into Universal Epic Universe. From the moment we saw Celestial Park through those huge lobby windows, we knew this was going to be a different kind of vacation story. We talk first impressions, the reality of check-in, our park-view deluxe room, and why the “smart” controls felt cool in theory but clunky in practice. Then we get to the big swing: a private Universal VIP tour for our one full day inside Epic Universe. We break down what the tour includes, how having a guide changes your entire theme park strategy, and why the Florida heat turned “let's do everything” into a real stamina test. We also do the math on posted wait times and share the headline number: 615 minutes of lines avoided, plus expedited meals and constant water runs that kept us moving. Portal by portal, we share the honest highs and the sharp edges: Super Nintendo World's sensory overload and Mario Kart augmented reality, Donkey Kong Mine-Cart Madness and its track-jump illusion, Isle of Berk's Toothless moments and Hiccup's Wing Gliders joy, Dark Universe's monsters and jaw-dropping animatronics, and the Wizarding World's 1920s Paris leading to an unforgettable Ministry of Magic reveal. We also talk coaster intensity on Stardust Racers, accessibility and moving-platform loading concerns, and what we'd do differently next time. If you're planning a Universal Orlando vacation, deciding between Express Pass and VIP, or just curious whether Epic Universe is worth the hype, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode with a theme park friend, and leave us a quick rating and review.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

In this massive episode of the Vookcast, Ollie, Luke, Angelo, and Michael are back to discuss all of the nonsense going on in the games industry in the year 2026. We discuss the upcoming revision for the Switch 2 in Europe, Mario Karts of various natures, and the future of Takashi Tezuka at Nintendo — thankfully, he's sticking around. We also discuss EB Games and its completely bonkers "strategy" surrounding the 30th Anniversary Pokémon TCG product, as well as major bad news out of PlayStation and Xbox and what it means for Nintendo and the industry at large.There's no 20 Questions this time, but be sure to tune in next time, too, for Luke's undoubtedly impossible game.Relevant storiesBatteries: https://www.vooks.net/nintendo-announces-revised-switch-2-and-accessories-with-user-replaceable-batteries-for-europe/MK Tour: https://www.vooks.net/mario-kart-tour-coming-to-an-end-on-september-30th/MK World: https://www.vooks.net/mario-kart-worlds-latest-update-adds-more-knockout-tour-routes-many-more-changes/Takashi Tezuka: https://www.vooks.net/takashi-tezuka-reflects-on-career-will-remain-producer-at-nintendo/The Crew: https://www.vooks.net/the-crew-motorfest-races-onto-switch-2-on-october-8/Onimusha: https://www.vooks.net/onimusha-way-of-the-sword-release-date-moved-up-to-avoid-september-bloodbath/Oblivion: https://www.vooks.net/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion-remastered-on-switch-2-hits-august-full-game-on-card/Lego: https://www.vooks.net/new-lego-pokemon-sets-announced-including-first-minifigure-pokemon/NSO: https://www.vooks.net/wario-land-sword-of-hope-and-puzzle-league-join-nintendo-classics/EB weirdness: https://www.vooks.net/eb-games-not-offering-online-preorders-for-fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-and-other-nintendo-titles/More EB weirdness: https://www.vooks.net/eb-games-says-doubled-30th-anniversary-pokemon-tcg-pricing-was-a-planned-tactic-to-weed-out-scalpers/PlayStation: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/physical-disc-production-ending-in-january-2028-for-new-games-releasing-on-playstation-consoles/Xbox: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/06/resetting-xbox/Send us Fan MailSupport the showSocialsOllie:  @chocobalt on Bluesky Luke: @renderman7 on BlueskyAngelo: @manjell0 on BlueskyMichael: @subelement on BlueskyFind Vooks on social media, support the show and buy merch.

Some point guards score points. Others completely control the game. Zoe Williams is already showing she has the rare ability to do both. In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the fastest-rising names in girls basketball, high school basketball recruiting, and the future of women's basketball. As a member of the Class of 2029, Zoe is proving she belongs on the biggest stages, competing against older players with the poise, confidence, and leadership of a seasoned veteran.Representing Marietta High School in Georgia and Team Elite Hubbard on the Adidas 3SSB circuit, Zoe has quickly become one of the nation's most exciting young point guards. Despite being only a freshman, she earned a starting role on a talented 17U roster, consistently matching up against older competition with confidence beyond her years. Throughout this conversation, Zoe shares how basketball became part of her life long before recruiting rankings and scholarship offers. Working in the garage with her father helped build the ball handling, shooting, footwork, and discipline that now define her game. It's proof that greatness isn't built overnight—it's earned through consistent work.Zoe also explains what it truly means to be a point guard. She's focused on controlling the pace, attacking the paint, creating opportunities for teammates, and making the right decisions every possession. Her basketball IQ, patience, and leadership continue to separate her from many players in her class.One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is her mindset. Playing on a nationally recognized 17U team could intimidate most freshmen, but Zoe believes preparation removes fear. If you've put in the work, there's no reason to be nervous. Away from basketball, listeners get to know the person behind the player. Zoe shares her love for music, Mario Kart, pickleball, Spider-Man, and spending time with family and friends. She also discusses maintaining a 4.3 GPA, her interest in biology, and why academics will always be just as important as basketball when choosing a college.Family has played a huge role in Zoe's journey. She credits her parents, siblings, and coaches for helping shape her work ethic, confidence, and humility. Their support continues to fuel her growth both on and off the court.As one of Georgia's brightest young prospects, Zoe has already established herself as a player college coaches and basketball fans should know. Her combination of speed, leadership, composure, basketball intelligence, and relentless competitiveness makes her one of the most intriguing guards in the Class of 2029.This episode is packed with valuable lessons for athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone who loves watching the next generation of women's basketball stars develop. Zoe's story is a reminder that success is built through preparation, discipline, consistency, and believing in yourself long before everyone else does.At SportsLifeTalk Media, our mission is to amplify the voices of the athletes, coaches, and leaders shaping the future of girls' and women's basketball.

New month, new us! This July we’ll be drawing, writing, cutting, pasting, photocopying, folding and talking all things zines and zine-making. To kick off the month, we dove into Justina’s personal zine collection to find the answers to all our burning zine questions. What is a zine? Where do you find them and how do you make them? How do you archive something so varied and ephemeral? And, most importantly, is it pronounced ‘zeen’ or ‘zyne’? MENTIONS

Episode #430 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth are taking a hard left turn away from the Mushroom Kingdom and diving headfirst into the wide, wonderful, and occasionally chaotic world of non-Mario Kart kart racers. From Diddy Kong Racing to Crash Team Racing, from a Bloodborne-inspired gothic nightmare to a Muppet-filled trip to Fraggle Rock, we're celebrating the kart racing genre's rich history beyond Nintendo's juggernaut.

Time to go through the Mario Kart game I have the least experience with. Also wait.. they actually announced how much the Steam Machine will cost!?!

fWotD Episode 3339: Donkey Kong Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 26 June 2026, is Donkey Kong.Donkey Kong is a video game series and media franchise created by the Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto for Nintendo. It follows the adventures of Donkey Kong, a large, powerful gorilla, and other members of the Kong family of simians. Donkey Kong games include the original arcade game trilogy by Nintendo R&D1; the Donkey Kong Country series by Rare and Retro Studios; and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series by Nintendo Software Technology. Various studios have developed spin-offs in genres such as edutainment, puzzle, racing, and rhythm. The franchise also incorporates animation, printed media, theme parks, and merchandise.Miyamoto designed the original 1981 Donkey Kong to repurpose unsold arcade cabinets following the failure of Radar Scope (1980). It was a major success and was followed by the sequels Donkey Kong Jr. (1982) and Donkey Kong 3 (1983). Nintendo placed the franchise on a hiatus as it shifted focus to the spin-off Mario franchise. Rare's 1994 reboot, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) game Donkey Kong Country, reestablished Donkey Kong as a major Nintendo franchise. Rare developed Donkey Kong games for the SNES, Game Boy, and Nintendo 64 until it was acquired by Microsoft in 2002; subsequent games were developed by Nintendo, Retro Studios, Namco and Paon. After Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2014), the franchise went on another hiatus until Donkey Kong Bananza (2025).The main Donkey Kong games are platform games in which the player must reach the end of a level. Donkey Kong appears as the antagonist or protagonist; his role alternates between games. The original games featured a small cast of characters, including Donkey Kong, Mario, and Pauline. Rare's games expanded the cast with friendly Kongs alongside the Kremlings, an army of antagonistic crocodiles led by Donkey Kong's nemesis King K. Rool. Mario, the protagonist of the 1981 game, became Nintendo's mascot and the star of the Mario franchise, and Donkey Kong characters appear in Mario games such as Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Mario Tennis. Donkey Kong characters also feature in crossover games such as Mario & Sonic and Super Smash Bros.Outside of video games, the franchise includes the animated series Donkey Kong Country (1996–2000), a themed area in Super Nintendo World at Universal's theme parks, soundtrack albums, and Lego construction toys. Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo's bestselling franchises, with more than 65 million copies sold by 2021. The original game was Nintendo's first major international success; it rescued Nintendo of America from a financial crisis, and established it as a prominent force in the video game industry. The franchise has pioneered or popularized concepts such as in-game storytelling and pre-rendered graphics, inspired other games (including clones), and influenced popular culture.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Friday, 26 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Donkey Kong on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

What cryptoid are you most confident you could beat up? What's a video game that you would like to work in the world of? What's your least favorite craft?

What happens when a strain smells like a bag of candy, smokes smooth over a year after packaging, and somehow leaves a minty little surprise on the finish?This week we're breaking down LA Pop Rocks, a flavorful indica-leaning strain that caught us off guard with its balance. It delivers sweet fruit-forward aromas, a surprisingly smooth smoke, and effects that feel social, relaxing, and uplifting without immediately gluing you to the couch.  We dig into the genetics, terpene profile, flavor notes, and why this one became an easy recommendation for daytime or evening use if you're looking for relaxation without feeling completely checked out. We also wander into road trip philosophy, dating events, Mario Kart drinking games, and the strange ways cannabis tends to make conversations go places you never expected.  Breaking down LA Pop Rocks and our first impressionsSweet candy, fruit, cheese, and mint flavor notesWhy this flower stayed sticky and fresh long after packagingGenetics: Triangle Kush Bx2 × Z AnimalTerpenes: Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, and HumuleneEffects: Euphoric, uplifting, social, and relaxingWhy Brandon keeps reaching for heavier indicas latelyCannabis vs alcohol in social settingsRoad trips as the ultimate compatibility testThe dating event idea we'd actually like to see happenStrain: LA Pop RocksGenetics: Triangle Kush Bx2 × Z Animal Dominant Terpenes:Beta-CaryophylleneLimoneneHumulene  Reported Effects:EuphoriaRelaxationIncreased sociabilityUplifted moodMinimal couch lock  Flavor Notes:Sweet candyFruityLight cheese funkMinty finish  LA Pop Rocks is a good reminder that “indica” doesn't always mean sleepy.

Photo by Nick Fewings on Unsplash Published 15 Jun 2026 It’s an all-Brits episode, as Andy welcomes Ian “epredator” Hughes back to the show as co-host, while both Michaels are away. We take a dive into some recent and current triple-A games as Ian talks through many hours of playtime in Crimson Desert, Forza Horizon 6, and 007 First Light. Although the new open-world Forza Horizon is set in Japan, Andy and Ian enjoy noting that these are games from UK-based studios or with British elements (like the legendary James Bond). Along the way, they talk about a WWDC video shared by Michael Rowe, which brings foveated streaming to the Vision Pro headset, although Ian notes that Varjo has been in this space for several years already. There’s a second round of gaming conversations that includes the latest XBox Games Showcase, featuring an older game (Sea of Thieves) from another British studio, and a yet-to-be-released game (Fable) with British voice talent and acting, that was also originally from the UK. There’s also a quick nod to an easter egg in the latest LEGO Batman game. The episode wraps up with a discussion of the recently fully-funded Kickstarter for the Virtual Worlds Museum, that we last talked about in episode 555. Ian mentions some of the recent video content that has been released by the project. Many thanks to Ian for joining the show this week, bringing a deep focus on games and virtual worlds!

NYC meets AIS. Die beiden bekanntesten Abkürzungen (?) der Welt nach dem Sprung durch den Wasserfall auf Yoshis Island bei Mario Kart treffen aufeinander. Mats ist frisch in New York angekommen zur Weltmeisterschaft und bevor der Spaß morgen so richtig startet kommt noch eine brandneue Folge.

We venture forth to the nerd cave this week to discuss Smile (2022) and Smile 2 (2024), both directed by Parker Finn, and what begins as a serious conversation about trauma, grief, and psychological horror immediately mutates into a 90-minute brainstorming session about how challenging the Smile Demon to a Mario Kart battle in space somehow makes sense? Look, if Leprechaun and Hellraiser can go to space, then this Demon-thing can, too.As we dive deep into Parker Finn's increasingly cursed universe of hallucinations and nightmare logic, we also break down why Smile worked so well as a psychological horror film, and how Smile 2 somehow managed to crank every dial into the red like a caffeinated psychopath that says, “What if we made everything worse?”Naturally, the convo asks the obvious questions such as:Is the Smile Demon secretly living its best life? Would the franchise improve if future sequels took place in Victorian England? Would Smile 9: Smile Harder feature Joker gas? Could Kyle Gallner have defeated the curse by challenging it to Mario Kart in low Earth orbit? The answer to at least one of these questions is apparently yes.We also celebrate everything that makes the franchise work:The relentless rug-pull hallucinations The terrifying "wait... is that person real? momentsThe increasingly horrifying mythology The monster design that somehow consists mostly of teeth and yet still makes everyone want to leave the room immediately By the end of the episode, we ultimately conclude that if you ever find yourself haunted by an ancient smiling nightmare creature, skip the therapy session, skip the drug dealer, skip the exposition, and immediately launch yourself into space.Checkmate, demon.CREEP-O-RAMA is: Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CREEP-O-RAMA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@creep-o-rama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@joshblevesque⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@bargainbinblasphemy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@imfigure⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Audio: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stranjlove

This episode is equal parts gut punch and practical toolkit, built for people who are tired of being told to just stay positive.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/dan-macqueenDan MacQueen was 28 years old when an optometrist appointment changed everything. What started as persistent headaches and a terrifying moment of blindness on a London tube platform ended with an emergency brain surgery, a massive hemorrhage, four weeks in a coma and months of relearning how to walk, talk and smile. In this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Dan sits down to talk about what it really took to rebuild his life and the framework he now uses to help others do the same.Dan is quick to point out that he is not some extraordinary person. His brain scans came back average after two emergency surgeries, and he took that as a good sign. His whole approach to recovery and resilience is built on the idea that anyone can do this. You do not need to be exceptional. You need to be willing to try, fail, and try again.A huge part of how Dan made it through was gamifying his recovery. From timing how long it took to get into a wheelchair and shaving five minutes off each week, to tracking his swim laps in a notes app going back years, he turned the grind of rehab into something he could measure, compete against and win. He talks about the Monopoly strategy he pulled on his family, the icebreaker hack he developed for walking through crowded London streets and how Mario Kart taught him more about navigating life patterns than he expected.Dan also gets into the three things that drove him forward: proving people wrong, proving people right and being of service to others. His nurse planted the seed of that first one when she pointed across a park and told him the kids over there did not think he was good enough to talk. He yelled back across that park loud enough for everyone to hear. Spite works. So does love. Ride whatever wave shows up.One of the most practical tools Dan shares is his decision-a-day framework. Every morning you decide that today you are going to fight. Tomorrow you decide again. You do not have to commit to the whole mountain, just the next step. Pair that with his aim small, miss small approach to building habits and you have a system that is genuinely hard to argue with. He went from two minutes of morning meditation to twenty. One block of walking to a full route. Five minutes in the pool to over a hundred laps.This episode covers traumatic brain injury recovery, stoicism, gamification, resilience, motivation and what it actually means to be better than yesterday. Dan is still in the thick of it, still having eye surgeries, still stumbling through the back streets, and still showing up. That is exactly what makes this conversation worth your time.

The Giants can move past the Jaxson Dart controversy quickly if the locker room keeps frustrations internal, but the cost is proving this young team can handle pressure without letting every disagreement become a public problem.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Did the Giants actually move past the Jaxson Dart locker-room issue? The answer depends on whether the leaders who spoke up — Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Jameis Winston — turn that meeting into a reset instead of another storyline.The episode starts with the reported Giants meeting where Jaxson Dart addressed teammates after introducing President Trump. Drew and Rob talk through whether this was just an awkward headline that needed to be handled internally, or whether it was the first real leadership test for Dart and the John Harbaugh-era locker room. The conversation also covers Abdul Carter missing the meeting for Eid al-Adha and why that should not become cheap blame if Dart and Carter already handled things privately.Is this story actually over, or just quieter?Andrew Thomas restructuring his contract becomes the next major Giants topic. The guys explain why the added cap space matters, why Arvell Reese's rookie deal still affects the real number, and why this move is more likely about injury flexibility and cutdown-day roster moves than a splashy Odell Beckham Jr. return.Did the Giants just create useful breathing room, or are fans reading too much into a basic cap move?The OTA conversation focuses on D.J. Reader, Dru Phillips, and Patrick Ricard returning to the field, while also keeping expectations realistic because spring practices without pads only reveal so much. The defensive line depth concern gets real after the Roy Robertson-Harris injury, Shelby Harris' absence, and the basic truth that NFL injuries are going to keep coming.J.C. Davis becomes the offensive line debate of the episode. Bret Bielema praised his ability to play all four guard and tackle spots, while Drew pushes back and says the tape looks more like guard. John Harbaugh's comments also point to a swing guard/tackle role, raising the question of whether Davis is a future left guard, a real utility lineman, or another Giants guard/tackle project that could become risky behind Andrew Thomas.The episode closes with one of the better Giants stories of the offseason: Tom Coughlin, Eli Manning, John Harbaugh, Shaun O'Hara, and Gotham FC going full Mario Kart for the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation. Coughlin as Mario, Eli as Luigi, Harbaugh as Yoshi, and Shaun O'Hara as Donkey Kong made for a fun visual, but the real story is the charity work for families facing childhood cancer.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Welcome to a classic episode of Casual Trek, featuring Matt Hardy!Matt's upcoming project can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kryptothera-a-hunter/kryptothera-a-hunters-taleWe've got our first guest star in today's episode as we get the nonstop machine of comics crowdfunding Matthew Hardy to join us in talking about the First Lady of Star Trek: Majel Barrett!Majel's been in so many episodes, hell, so many SERIES of Star Trek over the years, so there's a lot to work with here. We've got shockingly little Majel in the TOS episode that ostensibly is a spotlight focus on her. Then we're in to the wild world of Lwaxana Troi as she gets kidnapped by Ferengi in TNG and that version of the Ferengi are the absolute worst. Like Internet Guy worst. Finally we get a surprisingly nice pairing of Lwaxana and Odo stuck in a lift together as a weird life form from the Gamma Quadrant has got into the computers.TOS: What Are Little Girls Made of?TNG: Ménage a TroiDS9: The ForsakenTalking points include: Westworld (both flavours), Babylon 5, Only Murders in the Building, Righteous Gemstones, Adam X the X-Treme, Ahsoka, Classic Dr Who, FMV PC games, Charlie's back on his Lost bullshit, From, Amnesiac City, Two time GLAAD award winner Peter Allan David, The Matrix, Terminator, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, The UK Office amount of awkwardness, Shoggoths, Tiny Clangers, The Prisoner, Legion of Super-Heroes fashion, Mario Kart-based declarations of love, Vampire: The Masquerade, The Mos Eisley Cantina Band, Lucille Bluth, Lwaxana Troi going full Mrs Bennet, Picard giving it all Shakespeare, More Classic Dr Who, Lord of the Rings for the SNES, Gilmore Girls, Tamagochi, War of the Worlds. Oh, and occasionally Star Trek. A surprising amount of Star Trek this time…Casual Trek is by Charlie Etheridge-Nunn and Miles Reid-Lobatto, our guest star was Matt Hardy.Music by Alfred Etheridge-NunnCasual Trek is a part of the Nerd & Tie Networkhttps://ko-fi.com/casualtrek Miles' blog: http://www.mareidlobatto.wordpress.com Charlie's blog: http://www.fakedtales.com Pedant's Corner:Gap-wise, the gap between TOS finishing & TNG airing was 18 years, the gap between Enterprise finishing and Discovery airing was 13 years“Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so” is the actual quoteCharlie couldn't think of the word “camper van” when describing FromMemory Alpha's reference to Lwaxana Troi saying she ‘made love' to DaiMon Tog, has a link to an article on Oo-mox

We've been having more dreams lately.. Welcome to Sunrise City, the feel-good sophomore record from "soft" indie guys Sub-Radio! This band of middle-school friends went viral as they got down bad for Stacy's Dad, and by broadcasting on Reddit during the pandemic they were able to generate a significant fanbase. Sunrise City is a saccharine nostalgia trip from teenage nights on the beach to Summer's End. Can their hooky record full of nuggets of gold carry them to a strong ranking?James & Connor reminisce on hard times and strong men before giving this audience-recommended album a listen. The Mixtaper has a Better View and a few facts about tricky fae (who can play a mean recorder), the short-lived Reddit Public Access Network, and Monkey. Monkey? Monkey. We'll talk about the nuances of Pink Lemonade and Tiger's Blood and find out if WE'RE IN LOVE (!!) with this album... and whether Sub-Radio is Onto Us. What's your favorite snow cone flavor? Are you in a good time or a hard time? Think you could take down Sub-Radio in a game of Mario Kart?? Let us know in the comments and on socials, and tune in next week for a Year Of Redemption feature that will knock your sweater off.Keep Spinning at www.SpinItPod.com!Thanks for listening!0:00 Intro3:17 About Sub-Radio9:53 About Sunrise City12:25 Awards & Accolades12:34 Fact Or Spin13:56 They May Have Encountered A Trickster Fae18:00 They Were The First Musicians On The RPAN23:00 They Channel The Spirit Of The Monkey26:08 John Fengya Has Never Lost A Game Of Mario Kart30:03 Album Art31:00 Sunrise City32:17 Pink Lemonade34:32 I'M IN LOVE!!37:08 Onto Me39:08 Sleep On The Beach44:26 Dimension46:17 Don't Cry47:59 Burden49:28 Spin50:59 Better View52:04 Nothing's Broken54:12 Pretty Boy55:22 2257:00 Friends (Summer's End)58:28 heavenheavenheaven1:00:06 Final Spin Hosted on Acast.

(00:00) — Ear cleaning origin: A childhood earwax ritual lights the first spark for medicine.(01:25) — Writer first, then premed: Entering college for writing before finding patient care through EMT work.(02:10) — EMT on campus: Deescalation, student calls, and heavy mental health moments.(03:27) — Suicide hotline: Human-to-human conversations that clarified her desire to be a physician.(04:10) — Medicine vs therapy: Drawn to anatomy and physiology while honoring psych's importance.(05:45) — Apocalypse-proof skills: Why medicine felt enduring through pandemics, borders, and war.(07:32) — Query-letter essay: How a creative application and workshop hustle shaped her identity.(08:55) — Premed pressure: Cutting hobbies, feeling locked out of creativity, and the regret that followed.(11:31) — The rat race and AMCAS: Hours, comparison culture, and resisting the 15-activity myth.(15:04) — Rest as training: Reframing hobbies as recovery to prevent burnout and learn better.(15:59) — What stood out: Interviews focused on her writing more than her activity count.(18:19) — Reapplying after COVID: Canceled MCAT, delayed app, and an external nudge to pause.(20:01) — Perspective shift: Time off, returning to writing, and no longer feeling behind.(23:11) — Ready the second time: Growth, humility, and being prepared to start medicine.(24:42) — First acceptance: Relief, joy, and finally buying the book she'd saved for that day.(26:02) — Personal statement redo: From listing achievements to writing about who she is.(27:06) — Med school + novels: Supportive team, deadlines, and writing as catharsis.(28:43) — Step 2 vs deadlines: Balancing dedicated study with book edits on a tight schedule.(30:10) — Dark fiction and stakes: Embracing perimortem themes and high-impact care.(32:24) — Pathology curiosity: Autopsies, TV inspirations, and creative crossover.(33:09) — Can students work?: Policy gray areas and being featured regardless.(33:47) — Zero-sum myth: Why gym, games, and hobbies can make you a better learner.(36:24) — Guilt and games: Mario Kart, streaming, and naming the pressure to always study.(37:13) — Permission to be human: Keep your passions—people, not checklists, become doctors.Vanessa's path to medicine started with a childhood ear-cleaning ritual and grew through college EMT shifts and suicide hotline work that centered real human connection. In this conversation, she and Dr. Gray unpack the premed rat race—the pressure to pack 15 activities, the guilt of cutting hobbies, and the lie that every minute not studying sets you back. Vanessa candidly shares applying twice, including a COVID-canceled MCAT that delayed her first cycle, the external nudge to pause, and the growth and humility that made her ultimately ready to be accepted. She explains how interviews gravitated to her writing, why her second personal statement focused on who she is rather than everything she did, and how she now balances med school with novel deadlines—treating writing as both catharsis and a job, while preparing for Step 2. Along the way: apocalypse-proof humor, a reframe of rest as part of training, and a clear message to premeds and medical students alike—keep the passions that make you human. Because people, not checklists, become doctors.What You'll Learn:- How campus EMT and suicide hotline roles shaped a patient-first “why medicine”- What changed between a late, COVID-impacted first cycle and a successful reapplication- Why focusing your personal statement on who you are can resonate more than listing activities- Practical ways to protect hobbies in premed and med school without burning out- How interviews may lean into your authentic passions—even more than your hours

Non, la nostalgie n'explique pas tout. Des vieilles consoles qui ressortent dans le commerce, des tournois de Mario Kart sur Super Famicom (ne manquez pas notre interview du streamer français et champion de MK : Antistar, qui a fait le voyage jusqu'au Japon), le pixel art qui s'affiche partout sur la scène indie et dans les rues de Tokyo… Ce n'est plus une mode, mais un véritable phénomène qui phagocyte l'industrie du jeu vidéo de l'intérieur.

In this week's catch-up, Skot, Tyler, & econoalchemist sit down with each other after a whirlwind couple of weeks and get the full down low from the Vegas conference—panels, debates, demos, and a surprise $100,000 grant win. They dive into the spirited on-stage debate over open source mining, why chip closed-ness doesn't invalidate open source hardware, and how community-driven, transparent tooling remains our North Star. Highlights include Schnitzel's battery-powered “DoomAxe” portable miner (yes, it plays Doom), rapid-fire integrations with Proto Fleet, and a Mario Kart tournament that filled a 3,000,000-sat prize pot. They also share details on winning MARA Foundation's community vote and how the funds will extend runway for the four core open-source pillars: Ember One Hashboard, Mujina firmware, Libre Board control board, and HydraPool—plus the crucial work of storytelling, docs, and community building around them.256 Foundation unveils the revamped 256foundation.org website and a self-hosted Discourse forum for discoverable, scam-resistant support and collaboration (forum.256foundation.org), along with Mujina dev calls to channel contributor energy productively. Then they preview Telehash #4 in Austin—hashrate donors, Wrigley's new Block Party event for pre-buying solo hash, and fresh “loyalty” gamification on the HashDash (dash.256f.org). The hosts cap it off with home-mining lore, solo-block luck stories, and a nod to running your own node. No pod next week during TEMS, but they'll be live for Telehash #4 and back on the 27th.

In this solo episode of Seven Minutes in Evan, The Goonies somehow turns into a discussion about rescue dogs, why a man's garage becomes sacred territory, and how NFTs might've been the dumbest collective hallucination on the internet.

Send us Fan MailThe Super Mario Bros Movie is the kind of film that can make you feel eight years old again and also make you ask, “Wait, is that all it wanted to be?” We jump into our full review with the stuff that matters to longtime Nintendo fans: the decision to start Mario and Luigi in Brooklyn, the joy of seeing the Mushroom Kingdom in crisp modern animation, and the constant stream of references that try to trigger that old-school Mario magic.We get specific about what works and what doesn't. Jack Black's Bowser is an easy highlight, especially once “Peaches” enters the chat, and we talk about why that moment feels more memorable than a lot of the movie's dialogue. We also dig into voice casting and character choices, from Charlie Day's Luigi energy to the debate around Chris Pratt's Mario and whether Seth Rogen's Donkey Kong pulls you out of the world. Along the way, we nerd out about Luigi's Mansion potential, the Mario Kart sequence, and the film's funniest curveball character.Then we go bigger: what should a great video game adaptation aim for in 2026 and beyond? We compare Illumination's kid-forward style to the DreamWorks approach, with Shrek as the measuring stick for an animated movie that truly serves adults and kids at the same time. If you've been searching for a clear Super Mario Bros Movie podcast review, a take on Nintendo lore, or a thoughtful debate about nostalgia versus storytelling, you'll fit right in.Subscribe for more geek culture deep dives, share this with the friend who still knows every Mario sound effect, and leave us a five-star review if you want to support the show.

Step into another fun-filled and insightful episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast, where Joe is joined by special guest Josh Spurgin—also known as DataNerdJosh, an IBM professional and passionate video game enthusiast. Together, they blend fatherhood, fandom, and real-world experience into a conversation that's equal parts entertaining and practical.

Of course, no Wise_N_Nerdy episode would be complete without a dose of humor, and the dice deliver a horde of Bad Dad Jokes that are as groan-worthy as they are hilarious—perfectly capturing the chaotic charm fans have come to love. The laughter gives way to a more personal moment in the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, where Josh shares his journey of creating educational YouTube content that's both informative and entertaining. It's an inspiring look at the challenges and rewards of teaching through creativity while keeping an audience engaged. Finally, the episode wraps with the “Parliament of Papas” segment, where Joe and Josh react to a wild Reddit story about someone secretly trying to sell off their family's video game collection because it was taking up too much space. The discussion dives into themes of communication, shared ownership, and respecting the value—both sentimental and financial—of a gaming collection. This episode is a perfect blend of gaming nostalgia, parenting insight, and nerd culture appreciation. Whether you're here for the co-op memories, the practical advice, or the laughs, there's something for everyone. So grab a controller, join the conversation, and don't forget to Find your FAMdom.
