That's right, we're going to begin manifesting oioioahahaoiaoiaheyayy!In Episode #495 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: the power of language in goal-setting, how small word choices can meaningfully shift direction over time, changing nouns to verbs (e.g., “find” to “bond,” “create” to “forge,” “build” to “care”), softening health goals as we get older and injured more frequently, verbalising intentions & how speaking thoughts aloud can catalyse action, reviewing long-term goals sparingly and focussing on habits that embody who you're becoming, not just what you want to have.Huge shout out to Petar & Cole for the support, absolute legends!Stan Link: https://stan.store/meremortalsTimeline:(00:00:00) Intro and Butters' birthday(00:01:46) Kyrin's long-term goals history(00:04:25) Evolving the ‘partner' goal: from finding to bonding(00:08:40) Biggest overhaul: spirituality reframed after loss(00:11:19) Health goal shift: from building strength to caring wisely(00:15:10) Juan's framework: eminent human levels and resistance to change(00:18:36) Generators vs trophies: rewriting annual goals into behaviours(00:22:15) Leading with verbs: forge, care, settle—language that directs action(00:24:55) Travel and learning: from ‘experience' to ‘settle' and broader skills(00:27:06) Meta-goals over domain goals: keeping curiosity flexible(00:33:08) When to edit long-term goals: cadence and life seasons(00:35:47) New categories Juan is toying with: brave, strong, fierce, obsessed(00:38:17) Boostagram lounge: community messages and quick replies(00:41:36) Verbalising to act: Comic-Con, Sexpo and taking initiative(00:46:47) Writing vs saying vs doing: aligning thoughts, words and actions(00:52:24) Advice for different life phases and evolving goal language(00:54:56) Wrap-up and support links Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast
Beetronics didn't just buzz onto the scene—they showed up in beekeeper suits and rewired how pedal brands think about vibe. In this episode, Filipe Pampuri tells the whole wild arc: teenage studio raids in São Paulo, building a home studio so serious they moved mom out of her bedroom, hopping to L.A. to mix at NRG with Jay Baumgardner, mastering at Sterling Sound, touring alongside Papa Roach and P.O.D., and accidentally launching a pedal company that turned into an art project with knobs. We dig into Beetronics' visual identity, the leap from hand-painted customs to the signature faceplates, the breakout Royal Jelly moment, and the brand-new BeeBeeDee—an analog delay that nails the classic sound and then goes sideways with lo-fi textures and pitch-shifted octaves. Also: why São Paulo pizza will ruin you for life, what “B” actually stands for, and a reminder that you make the music, not the gear. The nickname that became Beetronics and the Comic-Con-meets-NAMM launch DIY beginnings: ADAT mishaps, studio obsession, and learning electronics to keep sessions alive L.A. chapter: NRG, Sterling Sound, and opening for big rock tours How a custom “Walk The Hell” turned into orders… and then a company Designing pedals as instruments: art direction, faceplates, and community shout-outs Deep dive on the BeeBeeDee analog delay: classic tone, lo-fi mode, clever HP/LP tone shaping, and square-wave pitch tricks for “one-guitar, fake-band” madness Philosophy check: chase inspiration first, gear second Check out the stuff on their website HERE https://www.beetronicsfx.com/ Support The Show And Connect!

Opinions were mixed on today's puzzle. Jean found it to be a large-ish challenge while Mike found more of it in his wheelhouse than usual for a Friday. Both agreed that it was an awesome crossword, though, with some sharp and interesting cluing. For instance, we had 39A, Pet food brand whose name reflects its founding in Allentown, Pa, ALPO; 37A, It gets pumped at a party, KEG; and 3D, It might be on display at Comic-Con, INNERGEEK.

En Sevilla ha muerto una mujer a manos de su pareja esta pasada madrugada. Tenía 28 años, ha sido degollada, el hombre de 21 está detenido. Es la novena víctima de violencia machista en Andalucía en lo que llevamos de año. Se investiga también la muerte de un hombre vendedor de la ONCE en su casa en el término municipal de Ubrique. Ha sido apuñalado en la madrugada del sábado, presuntamente para robar en su domicilio. Y en Málaga hoy se clausura la Comic-Con s con un éxito de público sin precedentes, duplicando las previsiones de la organización y superando los 120 mil visitantes. En la clausura de hoy la atracción es el actor norteamericano Arnold Schwarzenegger. Domingo en el que se celebra el Día de Acción Global por el Acceso al Aborto Legal y Seguro.

Send us a textAfter a two-week hiatus dealing with shipping challenges and postal strikes, Jason and Chris return with exciting scientific breakthroughs and heartwarming pet insights. Their absence was filled with stuffy reshipping adventures and a memorable Comic-Con appearance with their super-dog companions.The episode features a remarkable development in Huntington's disease treatment – a devastating neurodegenerative condition affecting 7 in 100,000 people worldwide. A pioneering gene therapy trial using microRNA delivered via viral vectors directly to the brain has shown unprecedented success in slowing disease progression. Patients receiving the highest dose demonstrated 75% less decline in cognitive and motor symptoms compared to untreated individuals. While invasive and still pending regulatory approval, this breakthrough offers genuine hope for patients and families who've endured decades of despair. Beyond Huntington's, this approach could potentially revolutionize treatments for other neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's.The pet science segment reveals fascinating research about canine cognition, particularly how "gifted" dogs mentally categorize toys by function rather than appearance. Border collies demonstrated an ability to classify toys based solely on how they're used in play – whether for throwing or tugging – without relying on verbal cues. This suggests dogs possess cognitive flexibility comparable to human toddlers, understanding not just words but concepts. The study highlights how our canine companions don't merely memorize but actually comprehend and apply knowledge functionally, raising profound questions about their cognitive abilities.Our all links to social media and more!Support the showFor Science, Empathy, and Cuteness!Being Kind is a Superpower.https://twitter.com/bunsenbernerbmd
Frank checks in with a quick status update, then dives into five big topics from the week. You'll hear first impressions of Marvel's Wolverine for PS5, thoughts on Marvin Jones III joining Spider-Man: Brand New Day as Tombstone, reactions to the first full Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, a review of Alien Earth's season one finale, and an early read on Gen V season two. We wrap with a Geek Freaks Network roundup and what's coming next after L.A. Comic Con. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome and quick update on the solo episode and injury progress 00:13 L.A. Comic Con plans and Crocker Con audio hiccup 01:05 Marvel's Wolverine preview Insomniac's tone and combat vibe Omega Red, Mystique, Sentinel prototype Locations: Canadian wilderness, Tokyo, Madripoor Fall 2026 window 07:14 Spider-Man: Brand New Day casting Marvin Jones III as Tombstone Why Tombstone fits a grounded street-level story July 31, 2026 release window mention 10:11 The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer reactions Old-school adventure tone, IMAX tease Jabba's son, Razor Crest, Zeb, big set pieces May 22, 2026 theatrical date 13:30 Alien Earth season one finale review Atmosphere, performances, pacing issues Strong build but an ending that feels incomplete 22:08 Gen V season two premiere thoughts Handling of Chance Perdomo's character, new Dean Cipher Social media propaganda thread, Starlight cameo Character beats for Marie, Emma, Kate, Jordan, Sam 30:23 Network roundup Challenge Accepted, Fandom Portals, Distance Nerding, Anime Plus, Disney Moms Gone Wrong, Outlast Podcast 32:38 Closing and what's next Key Takeaways Marvel's Wolverine aims for a tight, visceral action experience with God of War-style pacing and a clear M rating. Expect meaningful counters to Logan's healing and a global thriller feel. Tombstone casting locks in Marvin Jones III, a performer with the presence to anchor Spider-Man's street-level stakes without tipping into pure fan service. Mandalorian and Grogu looks like a pulpy, planet-hopping romp built for IMAX with classic imagery and bigger set pieces. Alien Earth nails mood and performances but ends the season too abruptly, landing closer to incomplete than cliffhanger. Gen V season two returns with sharp ideas about image and control, a compelling new dean, and messy human beats that set the table for a stronger mid-season run. Quotes “You're going to feel like you're playing a God of War-ish game.” “There are definitely things that can slow him down, and they're setting this game up to make every decision feel impactful.” “This looks like old adventure energy, the kind of poster that sparks your imagination.” “There's a difference between cliffhanger and incomplete. This felt incomplete.” “It's a bold but messy return for Gen V.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this episode, follow the show, rate us 5 stars, and leave a short review to help more geeks find us.

In this episode, two-time Emmy Award winner Mike Manning joins us to talk about his latest project — the fun, campy indie sci-fi adventure Unexpected Treasures, premiering September 19 exclusively on Amazon Prime and Apple TV+. Audiences know Mike from his powerful roles on This Is Us, Days of Our Lives, Teen Wolf, The Bay, and films like Son of the South and God's Not Dead. Now, he takes on an entirely new kind of character: Sam, a charming alien fugitive who crash-lands in the Mojave Desert and teams up with Hartley (Olivia Blue) to outrun bounty hunters, unlock prophecies, and explore the magic of unexpected connections. From filming under the mystical skies of Joshua Tree to the Comic-Con buzz surrounding the premiere, Mike opens up about why sci-fi resonates with audiences, how this role stretches his creativity, and how his passion for activism shapes the projects he chooses.

Frank breaks down Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 6, “Ignorance Is Chris,” and why the “better world” finally shows its cracks. From the diner photo that warps, to Harcourt and Chris opening up in an interrogation room, to Vigilante meeting his Earth X counterpart, this episode clicks into place. We also hit Rick Flag Sr.'s prison visit with Lex Luthor, the Sons of Liberty twist, and the hallway tells that confirm where we are. It is a tense, funny, uneasy chapter that sets up a high-stakes sprint to the finale. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and episode plan 00:23 Housekeeping, L.A. Comic Con updates, why last week skipped 00:44 Frank's knee update and getting back on mic 01:01 The big swing lands: “Hello, Earth X, mind the flags” 01:19 Diner scene breakdown and the melting-faces photo 02:01 The inevitability of the reveal and why the vibe felt off 02:28 At Adrian's place: mom cameo, “secret room,” evidence stash 03:33 The Beanie Baby closet and recreating the portal 04:06 Back in the portal room: the neighbor-alien and why it matters 04:44 Sneaking the Smith mansion and the rising tension 05:20 Harcourt's snow globe stall, the car ride with Keith 06:10 Music clues in this world, no rap, the whitewashed timeline 06:33 Eagly raid in the kitchen, the mess to clean up 06:55 Vigilante meets Vigilante, animal “facts,” and the glasses tell 08:12 Sons of Liberty inversion and why Alt Adrian hates Peacemaker 09:39 Rick Flag Sr. visits Lex Luthor at Belle Reve 10:38 The deal for portal tech and the DCU bridge it hints at 11:19 Harcourt and Chris finally say the quiet part out loud 12:40 Adebayo's walk, “one got out,” and the street chase 13:59 Auggie ambushes Economos at the mansion 14:47 Alt Harcourt flips the switch at A.R.G.U.S. 15:08 The flag with a swastika and the words that land like a punch 15:47 Wrap up, what 6 through 8 now promise, social plugs and sign-off Key Takeaways The episode earns its dread by letting small details stack until the Earth X truth can no longer be ignored. Vigilante meeting himself is both the funniest stretch and honest character work that reframes his bravado. The Harcourt and Chris scene gives the alt-world twist emotional weight and nudges their relationship into something healthier. Rick Flag Sr. and Lex Luthor open the door to wider DCU stakes without hijacking the episode. Adebayo's street sequence and the desk flag reveal are the gut checks that make the cut to black land. Quotes “Hello, Earth X, mind the flags.” “One got out! It's a black.” “This is your perfect world.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow the show, leave a rating, and share the episode with a friend who is watching along.

Our "Big Question" for this week is "With the rising cost of gaming through tariffs & other issues, do you feel this could benefit gamers & developers by pushing to have them support older hardware for longer periods of time in an attempt to reach an existing market that is quickly pricing new or upgrading gamers out?"

Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar hosted a live performance of ComicLab at the 79th annual National Cartoonists Society Conference and Reuben Awards. Joining them onstage to talk about the business of comics were three marvelous cartoonists:Jason Chatfield, a remarkably talented cartoonist who is as comfortable doing stand-up comedy as he is sitting down to create cartoons for The New Yorker. His new book, “You're Not a Real Dog Owner Until…”, is a danged delight, and belongs on your shelf.Sean Wang, the creator of Runners, a wonderful sci-fi comedy about alien smugglers. Its most recent Kickstarter launched a couple days before the recording of the show, and was funded shortly thereafter — which is 100% a coincidence, but we'll be claiming credit nonetheless.Cassidy Wasserman, whose debut graphic novel, On Guard, was published by Random House earlier this year to rave reviews. She has also illustrated no fewer than three delightful children's books.On the show...What's working — and what's not working — in your comics business?What should you do when subscriptions stagnate?What's the best way to use Patreon without burning out on complex rewards?What is the best use of Print On Demand?How can I use Substack to publish/monetize my comic?Is social media declining? — And if so, how are you compensating?

It's my very first time at Comic-Con. I'm with my dear friend Denise, and it's her first time, too. The second we arrive in downtown San Diego, we're hit with a wave of everything - cosplayers everywhere, camera crews darting around, and volunteers all over the place. There are 135,000 people moving in every direction at once. It's buzzing, massive, and honestly thrilling! Since it's Day One, we find our way to the convention center and step onto this long escalator. We're heading up to the top, and I'm trying to act calm - for Denise, sure, but really for myself, too. Inside, my mind is racing: Are we in the right place? Did we come in the right entrance? Where do I get my badge? What should we do first? I don't want to miss a thing! That low-level panic kicks in because if we don't figure this out fast, we'll waste time and miss something amazing. Excitement and chaos collide, and my brain is ping-ponging: Logistics Priorities Schedules Locations …all while I'm trying to look completely unfazed. The escalator keeps climbing, steep and endless. Then we reach the top, and there he is standing right in the middle of all the noise and commotion: Alan Irwin. He makes eye contact, smiles, and says, “Welcome to Comic-Con!” That one sentence shifts everything. The noise is still there; the crowd hasn't changed… but I have. I suddenly feel grounded. I know that we're in the right place and that everything is going to be fine. Alan didn't give instructions or solve anything in that moment; his presence did all the work. In a sea of overstimulation, he connected with a simple smile and eye contact, and I thought: Of course. That's why he's here. Out of all the volunteers, they placed Alan at the top of the escalators. He goes beyond crowd management—he meets people where they are. He reads the energy and centers the entire room. That's crowd work at the highest level, and today, I have Alan Irwin on the Storytelling School Podcast so we can talk about exactly how he does this! You'll learn how simple eye contact can instantly shift someone's entire state of mind, how powerful confidence can be (even when borrowed from a “character”), and so much more. We'll also answer questions like: What makes storytelling the fastest path to building trust? Does true “crowd work” mean co-creating the experience with the audience? How is it that a speaker's resilience is measured not by avoiding mistakes but by how they recover from them? What could possibly be more essential than finding the joy or purpose in your own message before you even share it? What you will learn in this episode: Why speakers borrow traits from admired figures, stepping into a “character” to project confidence How great speaking isn't talking at people Why resilience matters more than perfection and how mistakes and technical failures are inevitable What about joy makes it the ultimate anchor Who is Alan? Storytelling has played a role in both of Alan Irwin's careers in different ways. He recently retired from a career spent in the infrared industry as a senior software engineer by day. However, he stumbled into Improvisational Comedy in his 30s and by night has performed it for over 30 years, while also spending most of that time teaching Improv. Improvisation has transformed Alan's teaching. His secret weapon lies in his penchant for making complex subjects accessible and fun. It has served him well worldwide in speaking engagements on a wide range of other topics, from robotics to crisis intervention (including suicide prevention). He's taken on the task of communicating very complex ideas to others in tech (and his interests, like geek culture and cheesemaking).
