The USCSS Maginot , a Weyland-Yutani deep space research vessel, approaches Earth after a 65-year expedition to obtain extra-terrestrial specimens, among them . On Earth, at Prodigy's Neverland research island, a terminally ill child named Marcy becomes the first hybrid, having her consciousness transferred to an adult synthetic, and renames herself Wendy. Adjusting to her new body with the assistance of synthetic mentor Kirsh, Wendy oversees several other children who undergo the procedure. A malfunction compromises the Maginot's navigation, placing it on a collision course with Earth. Some specimens escape, and a grown  kills most of the crew. It crashes into a tower in the Prodigy city of New , where Wendy's human brother Joe Hermit works as a medic and corporate soldier. CEO Boy Kavalier asserts the Maginot's contents now belong to Prodigy, and deploys Kirsh and the hybrids on Wendy's request to assist with search and rescue to test the hybrids capabilities. Security officer Morrow, who survived the crash in a reinforced , moves to protect the cargo and detains two Prodigy soldiers, who are killed by a -like specimen. Wendy remarks to Kirsh that she wants to save her brother from death. 2 "" Noah Hawley August 12, 2025 0.380 Boy Kavalier tells Dame Sylvia, that he formed the Hybrid project to allow humanity to compete with , and has granted Wendy additional abilities as he wishes to create a person smarter than him. Kavalier declines Weyland-Yutani's request to secure the Maginot's proprietary contents, warning any incursion on Prodigy's territory will be considered a hostile act. Joe is chased by a Xenomorph and separated from his colleagues. The Xenomorph tracks Joe to the higher floors of the tower, killing another soldier and massacring an apartment of wealthy residents who did not evacuate. Joe is saved by Morrow, who  Joe and the Xenomorph, but the Xenomorph regains consciousness and escapes after killing numerous other soldiers, sparing Morrow. Arriving in New Siam, Hybrids Tootles, Smee, Nibs, and Curly encounter other extraterrestrial specimens. Wendy locates Joe along with Slightly but Joe does not recognize Wendy. Slightly reveals Wendy's true identity to a shocked Joe who believed Wendy/Marcy had died. The three encounter several Xenomorph eggs and are ordered by Kirsh to contain them until a  team arrives. Joe is dragged away by the Xenomorph, and Wendy chases after it. 3 "" Dana Gonzales Noah Hawley and  August 19, 2025 0.441 Nibs questions Curly about why the hybrids are all named after  characters and why Marcy gets to be Wendy. Kavalier orders the specimens be brought to Neverland Island for study, despite objections from Kirsh and Dame Sylvia. Morrow finds Smee and Slightly guarding the Xenomorph eggs and interrogates them, suspicious of their childlike behavior. Morrow downloads all the data from the Maginot and erases the data from the source. Kirsh confronts Morrow and Morrow plants a device on Slightly's neck before escaping. Meanwhile, Wendy and Joe fight the Xenomorph with a , and Wendy kills the Xenomorph, although both sustain serious injuries. Returning to the island, Joe undergoes surgery and the Arthur and Dame tend to Wendy. Having escaped into New Siam, Morrow calls Ms. Yutani, and insists on retrieving the specimens despite being ordered to return home. Curly confronts Kavalier about his favoritism towards Wendy, asserting herself to be the best hybrid. Morrow contacts Slightly via the embedded device, convincing Slightly to be Morrow's friend. Kirsh, Tootles, and Curly dissect a facehugger and introduce its larva to Joe's damaged lung, removed during surgery. Wendy awakens, seemingly intercepting signals from the Xenomorph eggs which cause pain. Wendy ultimately collapses in the laboratory containing the eggs. 4 "" Ugla Hauksdóttir Noah Hawley and Bobak Esfarjani August 26, 2025 0.393 When Wendy wakes up, Arthur adjusts her hearing so Wendy can hear the Xenomorph eggs without experiencing pain, and Wendy discovers she can speak the Xenomorphs' language in a frequency audible to humans. Kirsh and Tootles test Trypanohyncha Ocellus (an octopus-like creature) on a sheep, and it implants itself in the sheep's brain via its eye socket. Tootles names himself as Issac. Kumi Morrow pressures Slightly into revealing his real name, Aarush Singh, and he is from India, as a sign of trust, and asks Slightly to steal a Xenomorph egg. Nibs, claiming to be pregnant, becomes violent after Dame Sylvia tries to interrogate her about the rescue mission, and is unknowingly put under house arrest. Joe, jaded after seeing how Wendy is treated as an experiment, attempts to quit and leave. However, Atom Eins tells Joe that if he does, Joe will be sent a large bill for his new lung and never see Wendy again. Slightly contacts Morrow to tell him that he cannot steal an egg, but the latter reveals he used Slightly's real name to track down his family, and uses them as blackmail. Morrow instructs Slightly to take a human near the eggs so they can be infected by a facehugger. It is revealed that Kirsh had been eavesdropping on Morrow and Slightly's conversations. Later, Wendy observes the Xenomorph-infected lung as the newborn Xenomorph bursts out, and Wendy placates it by communicating. 5 "" Noah Hawley Noah Hawley September 2, 2025 0.361 A flashback shows the events that occurred on the Maginot before it reached Earth. Junior security officer Clem wakes Morrow from cryo-sleep and tells him that a fire has led to two facehuggers escaping containment, which latched onto Captain Dinsdale and Science Officer Bronski. Dinsdale dies from the facehugger's acid blood when medical officer Rahim attempts to cut its tail. After being told by engineer Shmuel that the ship's navigational systems were also damaged in the fire, Morrow concludes that someone has sabotaged the ship. Executive officer Zaveri assumes command of the ship, but Morrow threatens to relieve her if she does not prioritize the creatures above the crew. Bronski is placed in cryo-sleep to prevent the gestation of the Xenomorph, but this fails. In science officer Chibuzo's lab, one leech specimen manages to open its test tube from the inside, and lays its larvae in her water bottle. Witnessing this, the Ocellus also escapes afterwards. Apprentice engineer Malachite drinks the water, and the larvae kill him internally; Chibuzo and Rahim are killed by their defensive toxic gas when trying to extract them. Navigator Teng is killed by the now full-grown Xenomorph. Chief engineer Petrovich is revealed to be behind the sabotage, having been promised a hybrid body by Kavalier if the ship crashes in Prodigy territory. Petrovich kills Clem and is in turn killed by Morrow, who retreats to the control room and seals himself in. Zaveri is killed by the Xenomorph outside the door. With everyone dead, Morrow locks himself in the panic room and awaits the crash. Back in the present, Morrow meets with Yutani, offering to retrieve the specimens by force and kill Kavalier. 6 "" Ugla Hauksdóttir Noah Hawley and Lisa Long September 9, 2025 0.478 As the Xenomorph grows, Wendy works on communicating with it. Nibs undergoes testing, prompting Atom Eins to demand her memory be reset to before the Maginot's crash. Dame reluctantly accepts, but Arthur refuses, and is fired under threat of execution if he is not gone by the end of the day. Wendy, disturbed by Nibs' behavior afterwards, learns she was reprogrammed. Meanwhile, Kavalier meets with Yutani over the ship's return and outwits her, securing 20 billion in damages while keeping the specimens for 6 weeks due to quarantine. Kirsh asks Tootles to feed and water the specimens while he is away. However, the Ocellus surprises him into accidentally locking himself in the same cage as two fly-like creatures, who kill him with acid and feed on his body. Slightly tries to lure Joe to the alien eggs, but he declines due to reassignment. Joe later visits a packing Arthur, who covertly deactivates Wendy's tracking device and gives Joe a boat code to allow them to escape. Noticing Tootles is disconnected, he goes to the lab accompanied by Slightly, who opens the cage of the Xenomorph eggs and locks him in, allowing a facehugger to latch onto Arthur. Kirsh watches this through security cameras, but does not tell Kavalier. Slightly hides along with Arthur's body in an air vent as the flies leave their cell. 7 "" Dana Gonzales Noah Hawley and Maria Melnik September 16, 2025 0.385 Smee discovers Slightly hiding an incapacitated Arthur, and the latter convinces him to help deliver Arthur to Morrow on the beach. Security re-secures the lab specimens. Wendy is disgusted by Kavalier's attitude to Tootles' death, and convinces Nibs to join her and Joe in escaping the island. On her way out, Wendy hacks the lab system, releasing the grown , which rampages and escapes into the forest. Kirsh finds Slightly and Smee carrying Arthur's body, but helps them take a faster route to the beach. Outside, Arthur awakes after the  dies. Shortly after, a newborn Xenomorph bursts from his chest and escapes. The hybrids take the corpse to the beach, where Morrow's Yutani team meets them. Having failed to bring him the newborn, Morrow takes them captive. After Kirsh shows him the Ocellus caused the lab accident, Kavalier becomes fascinated with the creature's intelligence, and wants to place it into a human host. Outside, Wendy, Joe, and Nibs are held at gunpoint by Yutani forces, but Wendy calls the Xenomorph which kills them. She comforts it, sparing them. Morrow's team enter the facility, but they are taken captive by Kirsh, who has also captured the newborn Xenomorph. Wendy, Joe, and Nibs reach the boat, but they are intercepted by Neverland security. Nibs, frustrated, brutally kills a soldier, prompting Joe to incapacitate her. A shocked Wendy scolds Joe, as the Xenomorph watches in the distance. 8 "" Dana Gonzales Noah Hawley &  September 23, 2025 0.469 The hybrids have been imprisoned in one cell, with Joe and Morrow in another. Wendy uses her abilities to block the facility's cameras and communications. She struggles with Joe's decision to shoot Nibs, believing he chose to ally himself with humans instead of her, but ultimately unlocks his cell. Kavalier approaches the hybrids and reveals that at six years old, he built his own synthetic which he used to kill his abusive father. Wendy unlocks their cell, Nibs kills Kavalier's bodyguard, and Kavalier flees. Morrow attacks Kirsh in the lab; Kirsh is badly damaged, but ultimately chokes Morrow unconscious. Smee and Slightly arrive in the lab and they take both Kirsh and Morrow, while Nibs captures Dame. Meanwhile, Atom lures Joe to Kavalier's room and locks him in with the Ocellus. Wendy arrives to save him and fights Atom, who reveals himself as a synthetic, allowing Wendy to control his motor functions. The Ocellus escapes to the beach, where it possesses Arthur's corpse. With the help of the older Xenomorph, Wendy and Joe capture Kavalier and lock him in a cell with Kirsh, Atom, Dame, and Morrow. As Yutani and her team approach the island, Wendy, with both Xenomorphs nearby, declares, "Now, we rule."

Not all reviews were positive. Dominic Baez of  criticized the show's pace and uneven story, writing, "Its examination of identity ... is less insightful than it wants to be, buckling under the weight of its own unanswered questions.

The hour opened with Yankee misery and confusion over how Brian Cashman still has a job. Gio compared the Bronx Bombers to a once-great ‘90s restaurant—still serving quality, just badly in need of a makeover. Boomer's already dreaming of next year's rotation with Cole, Schmidt, Schlittler, Fried, and Rodon, but Gio fired back: in today's game, bats beat arms every time.

Yankees' season ends in style—fans, including Dan from Carteret, weigh in as Jazz Chisholm brags then blows a key double play. Callers blame coaching, fume over Blue Jays' celebrations, and Jerry kicks off updates with the Jays' manager's “start spreading the news bitches.” Jazz, Schlittler, and Volpe reflect on a rough postseason, while A-Rod backs Boone. Schwarber crushes two homers, Jaxson Dart previews the Eagles game, and Boomer wonders how Fangio will cope without top receivers. Gio shuts down Mets fans gloating, laughs off the “munchkin man” Daboll call, and calls it a wrap after the dumbest call yet.

Yankees' season ends, and fans are furious. Cashman takes heat as A-Rod rips the roster, while Gio compares the team to a once-great ‘90s restaurant in need of a refresh. Boomer dreams of next year's pitching with Cole, Schmidt, Schlittler, Fried, and Rodon, but Gio insists offense rules today. Jazz, Vlad, and Ortiz enjoy the chaos, Turner finally delivers a 2-run single, and callers vent their frustration. Daboll talks Eagles and Aaron Glenn talks.

Yankees' season ends in chaos—Boomer blasts the pitching (except Schlittler) and the offense flops again. A-Rod calls the roster one of the worst ever, Jazz Chisholm's key error costs them, and Judge shines but Vlad outperforms. Shaun Morash fumes at the stadium, Jays' manager taunts with “start spreading the news bitches,” and Schwarber smashes two homers. Calls question Volpe's future, while Boone stays under contract.

The Yankees' season wrapped in chaos, and the reactions were just as wild. Boomer slammed the starting pitching—except Cam Schlittler—while the offense vanished when it mattered most. A-Rod called the roster one of the worst ever, Jazz Chisholm bragged about winning the World Series then blew a key double play, and Judge shined but Vlad stole the spotlight. Fans flooded the lines, debating everything from Cashman's job to who should manage—some dreaming of Jeter, Mattingly, Girardi, Cone, and Randolph, others just pleading for hitters who can hit. Postgame drama included the Blue Jays' manager taunting “start spreading the news bitches,” Schlittler breaking down the clubhouse mood, and Volpe reflecting on a rough postseason. Across the hour, every Yankee misstep was dissected, from petty celebrations to coaching critiques, leaving fans angry, confused, and begging for a team reboot.

The Yankees are done, and Boomer's pointing fingers at the starters—everyone but Cam Schlittler. The bats went silent when it mattered most, and even A-Rod piled on, calling this one of the worst-built rosters he's ever seen. Jazz Chisholm talked big, then booted a key play, and while Judge shined, Vlad stole the show.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 8, 2025 is: finicky • FIN-ih-kee • adjective Finicky describes someone who is very hard to please, or something that requires a lot of care, precision, or attentive effort. // Although she was a finicky eater as a child, she grew up to become a world-renowned chef famous for her encyclopedic knowledge of global ingredients. // The latest game in the series boasts amazing graphics but the controls are a little finicky. See the entry > Examples: "Stardom is a fleeting concept, one that we've seen play out with the biggest of stars over time. Even without outright missteps, artists often find themselves scrutinized by the masses for reasons entirely unrelated to their work. More often than not, this pressure either drives them to prove their worth to a finicky fanbase—one that will jump ship the second something else catches their attention—or pushes them back into obscurity." — Aron A., HotNewHipHop.com, 22 Aug. 2025 Did you know? If you're a reader of a certain age (say, a Boomer, Gen Xer, or even a Xennial) you may remember cheeky television commercials featuring Morris, a finicky housecat who only eats a certain brand of cat food. (Morris is still featured on product labels.) Morris's tastes in cuisine are not only very particular, but very fine as well, and that's appropriate given the origin of finicky. The word came about in the early 19th century as an alteration of finicking, itself a 17th century alteration of another adjective, finical, which in turn is a late 16th century coinage likely derived from the adjective fine.

Yankees face another elimination game, and Cam Schlittler's on the hot seat to get them to Toronto. Judge ties it with a 3-run blast, Jazz puts them ahead, and Jerry drops a Yankees promo with Al's announcer voice. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays manager throws shade at Judge, Cal Raleigh homers for the Mariners, Eagles and Rangers struggle, and Boomer says Toronto's offense is red hot.

Judge's 3-run bomb set the tone, while one caller demanded a fire alarm at the Blue Jays' hotel and Boomer swore his team was food poisoned before the playoff game. Cardinals drama, fan calls, and Dave Sims vs. Suzyn over Toronto's bullpen fueled the chaos, Shaun Morash claimed a win he didn't see, and Jerry Jones “thumbed up” Cowboys fans by mistake. Rangers stumble, LeBron's “second decision” is just booze, and even WFAN's promos got a surprise new voice.

The Bronx was rocking as the Yankees roared back from 6-1 to stun the Blue Jays, with Judge's rocket off the foul pole tying it up and Toronto's blunders sealing their fate. Boomer somehow squeezed in Rangers talk after one of the great Yankee playoff nights, while Dave Sims shilled Dude Wipes on X — apparently for cleaning pens, not posteriors. Jazz Chisholm homered, yawned, and Cam Schlittler's on the hook to back up his mouth tonight. Oh, and in peak “only on our show” fashion — we closed the hour with a reliever boasting 24 siblings and a doctor who delivered twins… with two different dads!

Yankees fans were on the edge of their seats as Aaron Judge's 3-run HR and Jazz Chisholm's go-ahead homer turned a 6-1 hole into a thrilling win over the Blue Jays, who hurt themselves with two costly miscues. Cam Schlittler is on the hot seat to back up his talk, while callers pitched everything from fire alarms at the Blue Jays' hotel to NY Post headlines. Jerry delivered updates with Dave Sims on the call, including a Moment of the Day with him and Suzyn channeling Gio and his wife. Off the field, Shaun Morash claimed a win he barely saw, Jerry Jones clarified his finger/thumb mix-up, LeBron's “second decision” was just a booze ad, and Boomer insists Toronto's offense is red hot. Elsewhere, Cal Raleigh homered for the Mariners, the Rangers stumbled in their NHL opener, and the Bengals grabbed Joe Flacco — chaos and drama all around!

My prediction on the Red River Rivalry includes the same winner regardless of John Mateer's availability. I explain why. Oklahoma has room to add 2026 prospects, but which positions should the Sooners target the most? Finally, what spots will the Oklahoma football staff target in the Transfer Portal?@fbscout_florida On X @LO_ThePortal TikTok @lockedontheportalSupport us by supporting our sponsors!SupplyHouseJoin the free TradeMaster program today and score serious perks like priority shipping, lower prices, and a dedicated support line.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning with Part 2 of Chapter 8, exploring the Boomer generation's rise into midlife power and the cultural shifts that reshaped America. From the “yuppie” era and Reagan's political influence to the moral fervor and spiritual awakenings of the 1990s, Ashe and CannCon connect Strauss and Howe's generational theory to today's world with humor and sharp insight. They discuss the parallels between then and now—revived faith movements, the redefinition of family values, the culture wars, and the roots of modern polarization. The hosts also weave in their signature banter over fantasy football, gold prices, and soft disclosure ads, blending intellect with entertainment in classic Badlands fashion.

The Jags and Colts are rolling at 4-1, while the Jets and Giants are a brutal 1-9 combined. Boomer's not feeling any “Championship Winds” in New York—hockey's cold, the Yankees on the verge of being swept, and Gio's worried Schlittler's mouth might jinx their only shot at a win.

Jags and Colts are flying at 4-1, while the Jets and Giants flounder at a combined 1-9. Boomer says no “Championship Winds” in New York, Yankees need razors, and Hunter Brody lost it after Philly's bunt fail. Brewers crush Cubs, Trevor Lawrence trips to TD glory, and Gio drops NFL picks while Al says some teams just never excite—Jags included.

NHL season kicks off tonight as Boomer stresses a strong start for local teams. Yankees take center stage and a preview of tonight's Blue Jays matchup, while Dodgers lead Phillies 2-0 and Jags top Chiefs after Lawrence trips to a TD. Off the field, Shams reports Giannis would only leave Milwaukee for the Knicks

Gen Z JD Farmer is back on the program. It's been awhile but he's back. He brings us insights on how the young people are thinking and the farming industry. Let's get into it.

Here's the latest Not A Podcast. A compilation of the days TTs. Let's get into it.

It was a nightmare weekend for New York sports: the Yankees got crushed again in Toronto, with Max Fried giving up seven runs and Boomer ripping their “give-up at bats”; the Giants turned the ball over five straight times and now face a 1-5 record, leaving DABOLL under fire and Dart owning his mistakes; and the Jets remain winless, fumbling and floundering on defense while Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson wonder what's going wrong. Fans called in furious as the losses piled up, and even Boomer wondered aloud, “What are we gonna do with sports around here?” Meanwhile, Daniel Jones and the Colts quietly shine elsewhere, highlighting just how bleak things are for New York teams.

Gio called the Jets' latest loss one of the worst he's ever seen, as their defense keeps getting torched and turnovers pile up like it's the Kotite era. The Giants self-destructed with five straight giveaways, while coaches Glenn and DABOLL preach discipline to deaf ears. Over in baseball, the Yankees got smoked again, Max Fried imploded, and fans called in furious, while Boomer celebrated a golf award to lighten the mood.

Boomer's shaking his head as the Giants keep turning the ball over and the season slips away. With a 1-5 record and fans ripping DABOLL, he's left asking the only question that matters: “What the hell is left of New York sports?”

Boomer wasn't holding back after the Yankees' latest playoff flop, calling out their “give-up at-bats” and lack of fight. Once again, a better team sent them packing — this time it's the Blue Jays — though if they somehow reach Game 4, at least they'll have Schlittler on the mound.

It was a brutal weekend for New York sports: the Yankees got smoked by the Blue Jays, Max Fried melted down, and Boomer slammed the “give-up at bats.” The Giants self-destructed with five straight turnovers, while Gio and DABOLL ripped into the collapse. The Jets? Still winless, still fumbling, with Aaron Glenn and Breece Hall owning the highlight reel—and to top it off, Mark Sanchez made headlines for all the wrong reasons in Indianapolis.

Giants are in freefall with five turnovers, a 1-5 record, and fan blogs tearing into DABOLL—Boomer wonders what's left of NY sports. Jets keep fumbling, Yankees get crushed again, and Max Fried struggles on the mound. Meanwhile, Daniel Jones and the Colts quietly shine at 4-1, with Gio loving the DABOLL-SCHOEN saga and Boomer praising Jonathan Taylor's impact.

Jets fans might need bags on their heads as the season spirals, with tough games against the Panthers and Browns ahead. Giants, Jets, and Yankees fans are still fuming, while the Mets clean house—except for Carlos Mendoza. On the field, Dart owns his mistakes, DABOLL fumes over turnovers, Max Fried bombs again, and Boomer steals the spotlight with a lifetime achievement award.

DABOLL rips turnovers, Dart owns his mistakes, and Glenn says Hall's fumble crushed the Jets. Wilson can't believe they're 0-5, Gardner wonders what's wrong, and Boomer steals the spotlight with a lifetime achievement award.

We took some calls on the Giants, Jets and Yanks losses. Oh, and the Mets blew out their entire coaching staff besides Carlos Mendoza. Boomer thinks if Dart didn't underthrow the flea flicker, it's a different game.

Gio loves the DABOLL-SCHOEN saga as Daniel Jones goes 4-1, playing like an MVP. Boomer says Jonathan Taylor is making him even better.

Fall is one of the most critical times in the beekeeping calendar, and in this episode Jeff and Becky welcome Jim Tew of Honey Bee Obscura for a lively and practical discussion about preparing colonies for winter. The conversation starts with a listener's question about quilt boxes—what to put in them, how they work, and whether wood shavings, insulation, or even moisture boards are best. Jim, Jeff, and Becky share their own experiences and lessons learned about managing moisture and heat in the hive, with some humorous nods to past beekeeping misadventures. From there, the group dives into fall priorities: ensuring colonies have adequate food reserves, considering when and how to feed syrup or fondant, and combining weak colonies before winter. Becky shares her “Frankenstein hive” approach, Jim reflects on decades of overwintering practices, and Jeff offers perspective from the damp Pacific Northwest. The trio also debate ventilation, moisture management, and whether or not to requeen this late in the season. As always, the discussion mixes science, experience, and a touch of humor—reminding beekeepers that fall is the last big chance to set colonies up for survival. The episode wraps with a look ahead to January's North American Honey Bee Expo in Louisville, where Jim, Jeff, and Becky will be together at the Beekeeping Today Podcast booth. This is a timely, information-packed conversation for anyone wondering what to do in the final weeks before winter truly sets in.
