Did the MCU Hawkeye series take a lot from this run? Does this Hawkeye feel Jeremy Renner inspired? Why does Anthony recommend this as a great stand-alone comic for new readers and old? Is there any required reading before this Hawkeye run? Have we only covered Marvel omnibuses on the pod so far? Is this one of the best comics in the last decade or so? Do Anthony and Cody think it's one of the best EVER? Why does Cody resonate with Hawkeye so much? Do we love Pizza Dog and Kate Bishop? Would Sophie Thatcher make a good Kate Bishop? Is this a one-of-a-kind comic? Does artist David Aja have playlists that go with each issue? Do some parts of this run give Brubaker vibes? Do superhero archers in DC and Marvel get any respect? Who would we cast DJ Qualls as?What did we think of Hawkeye's brother Barney? Did Fraction and Aja use the Marvel Method to make this comic? Does Kate Bishop feel human? Did this have one of the best car chases in comics? Are there James Bond vibes in this run? Did we like Madame Masque?

Does Cody want to de-juice Anthony? Was Carrie Coon wasted in Infinity War? Does Kevin Feige need to step down? Who is Flynt Ward the Weed Lord? Is this comic a masterpiece?

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Naomi are back to recap All Stars 10, Episode 3. Aja is gagged she's not in the top two and they ask: what's the point of Melanation Station if there's no clear goal? They question whether alliances actually work on All Stars, and Bob recalls Naomi's iconic $25k selfie moment. They dig into the Aja vs. Olivia confrontation, and Bob and Naomi discuss whether the queens should be assigning partners for makeover challenges. They review the makeover challenge looks, break down the queens' lyrics, and ask how much lyrics vs. looks really matter. Bob even writes his own verse for the challenge—at the risk of being called corny by Maddy Morphosis—and they update their picks for who's going to take the All Stars 10 crown.

Health care executive and patient advocate Aja Best discusses her article, "How early CKD diagnosis can save lives: a transplant survivor's journey." She shares her harrowing personal experience with a delayed diagnosis of IgA nephropathy during pregnancy, which led to a challenging path through dialysis and ultimately to a life-saving kidney transplant. Aja highlights the often-silent progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a growing global health crisis, and points to critical gaps in the health care system that prevent timely intervention. The conversation explores the importance of early screening, proactive and coordinated care, the potential of technology and predictive analytics to improve patient outcomes, and the power of patient advocacy. Aja passionately calls for systemic changes and greater awareness to ensure others don't face the same missed opportunities she did. The key takeaway is: Early CKD detection through routine screening and a more integrated, patient-centered health care approach can significantly alter disease progression, improve lives, and reduce the burden of this widespread condition.

It's time to put pen to paper and likeliness to college basketball player for this week's girl group makeover challenge that decides who will join Irene in the semi-finals. Principal Skye is in full effect, Bad Babysitter Bosco has the Goddess in capable hands, Olivia makes beautiful music with Heaven spelled backwards, and there's no alliances left for Aja, now with wings.

They dive into the new format, ask whether Aja is really a villain, and discuss which queens they'd love to see return. Bob shares a theory about contestants who leave Drag Race with sour feelings, while Naomi names the choreographer who made her cry during her season. They discuss DeJa's surgery complications, if they would travel internationally for cosmetic procedures, and note how fans react when queens quit drag.

Here's a fact: For many years, I didn't know that our money mindset has a direct relationship with how powerful we feel and how we move through our professional and personal lives.I didn't get the connection, and I have been in financial services for over 25 years. After I dove into all things on leadership, self-improvement, and energetic management, I learned that there is a positive correlation between our money, speaking up, and the energy associated with feeling powerful as a woman. If we feel good about our money, we will speak up more. We will feel more confident. We will make powerful choices. We will be braver at work and at home.My guest today, Aja Evans, is the first financial therapist I have interviewed. I have interviewed financial coaches before, but not financial therapists. After learning more about Aja's important work, I was excited to dive into this discussion!During my conversation with Aja, we chatted about:The story behind Aja's financial awakeningWhat financial therapy is and how it is different than financial coachingWhat the thoughts, feelings, and attitudes are behind someone who may need a financial awakening of their ownWhat is the story behind people that are trying to keep up with the Joneses? What about money hoarders?

Pa tudi o poglavju govorimo. Malo. Aja: piknik bo. Beton se že meša. ;)

Send us a textEpisode 013 Grammy-winning saxophonist and composer Tom Scott joins the Aerophone Academy to share his extraordinary musical journey from clarinet player to pioneering wind controller artist. With 13 Grammy nominations, 3 Grammy awards, and appearances on over 2,000 recordings, Scott's unmistakable sound has defined popular music across multiple decades.Scott takes us through his remarkable career path, beginning with his early musical influences from his father, a music director at NBC Radio during World War II. His professional journey started at just 14 years old, playing $15 gigs at country clubs – experiences that taught him valuable lessons about serving the music rather than his ego. "Don't try to insert your own personal opinion about how you feel about a certain tune. Just play the damn thing with as much feeling as you can muster."The conversation explores Scott's groundbreaking work with the Lyricon, the world's first commercially available wind synthesizer. We hear fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about his iconic wind controller solos on hits like Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," Captain & Tennille's "Do That To Me One More Time," Dan Fogelberg's "Heart Hotels," and Steely Dan's "Peg." These recordings revolutionized how electronic instruments could be integrated into popular music, bringing unprecedented expressiveness to synthesized sounds.Scott's masterful horn arrangements for Steely Dan's "Aja" album receive special attention, revealing his sophisticated approach to orchestration. "I'm going to write this like it's an Oliver Nelson arrangement," he explains, describing how he transformed simple chord structures into rich, complex voicings that enhanced these iconic recordings.Whether discussing his evolution through different wind controller technologies or sharing wisdom about musical restraint ("less is more very often"), Scott's insights offer invaluable perspectives for musicians at every level. This conversation celebrates not just technological innovation but the enduring importance of musicality in an increasingly electronic landscape.Subscribe now and join us next episode for part two of our conversation with this legendary musical innovator!If you'd like to send us a question for an upcoming episode, please email us at info@aerophoneacademy.comOr leave us a voice message that we can include in the podcast here.For more information about Matt, visit www.patchmanmusic.comFor great Aerophone courses, visit www.isax.academy
