MCU tries to reset, Murderbot tries to escape emotional damage. This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl break down Captain America: Brave New World, where Sam Wilson's shield meets political paranoia and a very red, very angry Hulk. Then it's back into the soap-operatic arms of Murderbot, as Episode 5 serves up sabotage, sass, and an unexpected anatomy lesson. One's trying to save the world, the other just wants to be left alone with their shows—and honestly, we relate. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Murderbot: Virtue Signal: Brave New World: Murderbot (AppleTV) Episode 5: “Rogue War Tracker Infinite Summary After a near-fatal reprogramming, Murderbot is saved by the PresAux team and meets Leebeebee—the lone DeltFall survivor—who hilariously fixates on Murderbot's… anatomy. Meanwhile, Murderbot reveals it's hacked its governor module and asserts its loyalty to the crew. Cliffhanger: sabotage at the distress beacon.

Did you notice that as soon as your favorite team has a series in Tampa or Sacramento, there is a “news” story that sounds like Yelp reviews of the non-major-league facilities? It would have been a 10 if not for the batter's box. Swirling and unpredictable. You get it. Pottymouth swears Junior has a sixth tool but she never comes right out and says what it is. It might be a camp! Or bobbleheads! Her pitching flock has been reduced to Diamondbacks in the rough.  Patti is amused that there are stories predicting that 24 year old Cedanne may one day be the next 23 year old Pete. And is Adley hitting better because of losing the toe tap or because Patti benched him for a game? We ponder the motivation of old guys grinding it out in the minors. The police blotter checks in on the ongoing Wander Franco trial, and the terrible defacing of the Robinson and Miñoso mural in Miami. Geaux Tigers! The takeaway from Nationals Night Out is that if you are going to pitch in heels, for god's sake, PRACTICE in heels.We say, “13 is a lot. 14 is more,” “J. Geils,” and, “It rains on what's already wet.”: Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Overall, we've found this category to be much improved!

Murderbot Is Fine, Everyone Else Is Screwed This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl dig into episode 4 of Murderbot, where everyone's favorite emotionally repressed robot finally snaps—soap opera hallucinations included. Then it's time to kick off Movie Summer 2025 with early buzz (and warning signs) around Superman and Fantastic Four, plus some movie messiness that smells like panic reshoots. And finally, we take a steel chair to WWE's latest release spree—R-Truth, Carlito, and maybe even The Miz? Say it ain't so.

As the reprogramming takes hold, Murderbot experiences disorienting hallucinations, including scenes from its favorite soap opera, Sanctuary Moon. Dr. Mensah intervenes, rescuing Murderbot with the help of her team. However, realizing the danger it poses under the influence of the override, Murderbot makes a drastic decision to protect its human companions.

This episode fueled by cuxa in tiny teacups – perhaps a result of taking a clown visiting from Guatemala to an Orioles game and gifting him a “Relish” t shirt, or just another Sunday. Junior sets a record for under-22s. Woody sets a record for no more than 22s, and PCA (at 23) just sets the pace. Kids today! Kody with a K finds a home with MIN, and we sort out all the Victors. Oneil hits them hard and far, and Freddy hits the life-changers. The police blotter is overflowing what with the wife of Luis Arraez engaging in questionable promotions in dangerous times, Wander promoting himself questionably, and Dodger Stadium dropping rocks on NYY fans. The road to the College World Series is underway and Pottymouth is already wearing the purple.  Please watch the Seattle Mariners Pride video right now.We say, “moments ago, plus soup,” “I made, perhaps, some poor decisions,” and, “put the Fun in Funderburk.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

“Wait, the reason you cut your hair was for 2 dudes?”   It's officially our 6th anniversary! That's right, 6 years of metal discussions, ludicrous nonsense, and beers of the episode, and what better way to wrap up our 6th year in podcasting excellence than with STEEL PANTHER, the parody band that helped make 80's hair metal FUN again, with every hyperbolic metal cliché you can think of that makes them the epitome of everything that made late 80's hair metal so awesome. If S.O.D. is thrash metal with a generous side of hilarity, then STEEL PANTHER is quite obviously their hair metal counterpart.   Find out what happened “three or four days later…after the crying stopped”, discover which Slayer song is considered their “ballad”, understand why it's healthy and fun to maintain the silliness of your youth as you get older and JOIN US as we celebrate 6 years of metal and nonsense by going deep INSIDE THE METAL of a band that blends hair metal and nonsense together on a level that our inner 8th grader would have greatly appreciated with the kings of L.A. hair metal absurdity, STEEL PANTHER.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode   Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok   Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast STEEL PANTHER on the InterWebs: www.steelpanther.com  Show Notes: (00:01): Happy 6th anniversary to #MetalNerderyPodcast!!!

Welcome to Off the Grid CPG edition!

In which we declare “McCullered” a verb and Patti references songs from both 1862 and 1985. The merry, merry month of May gives us records set by both Pete Crow-Armstrong and Jasson Dominguez. COL and Pottymouth welcome the return of Ezequiel Tovar, and there's just so much Soto to discuss. Liam Hendriks says the kind of death threats experienced by Lance McCullers are horrifyingly common and absolutely fed by sports betting. Underage drinking is now a part of the incident resulting in serious injuries to a fan falling from the stands in PNC park. COL may have set a record for losses in 50 games and have a fan suing them for being bad, but at least their security staff is trying to keep opposing players out of the ballpark. Previously McCullered Tim McGraw is headlining the Speedway Classic featuring CIN vs ATL in August. We crosstrain with ice dancing and encourage you to read this piece about gender “complexities” in that sport. We may reference a little light, harmless voter fraud.We say, “Punk bands aren't afraid of anything,” “It's like a homerun derby, but there's a lot of defense,” and “We ain't gonna play Sun City.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Popping in with a behind-the-scenes bonus episode — where Jen Carrington and I pull back the curtain on everything that's been messy, feel-bad, and chaotic in our businesses this year! We talk about exactly how much our revenue is down, the problems we've diagnosed with our marketing and messaging, and what we're focusing on to stay in business through 2025 and beyond. Tune in to feel seen, heard, and (hopefully) less alone.

Rated R for Romance and Robots This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl kick things off with a live trailer watch of Ironheart—because nothing says excitement like corporate-mandated teen genius content. Then it's a double feature of cinematic chaos with reviews of Love Hurts (aka “What if John Wick cried more?”) and Novocaine (the feel-nothing action movie we didn't know we needed). Finally, we plug into the emotionally unavailable but highly bingeable Murderbot, Apple TV+'s latest attempt to make us root for a killer android with anxiety. Buckle up—this episode has pain, no pain, and just enough heart. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Ironheart: 6:15 Love Hurts: 16:12 Novocaine: 29:44 Murderbot: 40:19 Ironheart Trailer Reaction, Brian watches the trailer for Disney+'s upcoming series “Ironheart” live during the recording, sharing his unfiltered thoughts and reactions.

We talk about community all the time on this show. But what does it actually look like when relationships change the trajectory of your creative career?In this episode, I'm joined by Lauren LoGrasso to unpack all the relationships that led her to her current roles as an award-winning podcaster, producer of We Can Do Hard Things, and VP of Programming and Development at Audacy.Those relationships range from a random guy in Indiana to the agent who dumped her when she moved to LA to her “radio Jesus” who opened the door to everything Lauren is doing today.Tune in as we map how a creative career is built in real-time. You'll hear all about:How Lauren landed an internship on the Ellen show & the slump that followed her early successWhy it's important to learn all the angles of your jobHow Lauren nurtures & unleashes her creativityAmelia's dance between being practical & being delusionalWhy we have to stop rebranding disappointment as failureTwo ways to reclaim your voice from “creative monsters”   And stay tuned to the end where Lauren guides us through a self-love + inner child healing practice!RESOURCES + LINKS

I'll take unlikely pitchers to strike out Shohei Ohtani for 200 please. We let Sally Jenkins and Jake Mintz take the lead on the “permanent ends when you're dead” rant re Pete and the other formerly permanently ineligibles. Will Andy Pages be the player that gets Pottymouth to manage her fantasy team more closely? Maybe! Patti's team is again short a 3rd baseman but the math is working out. PCA's newest stats are rivaling those of the new Pope for Chicago-based excitement. We thought the BOS gag was going to be Who's On First but it turned out to be who is in the outfield because the new City Connects are Fenway camo for the guys near the wall. Kudos to the second place finisher in a Maine high school track event for calling out Rep. Laurel Libby as a bully for “maligning” the trans-identified athlete who won the event. And we crosstrain with ornithology because even after Brandon Hyde got fired only one kind of oriole is fun to watch right now.We say, “I wanna piggyback on the joy,” “who wouldn't want to swing a rainbow banner?” and “I hate it when drag queens make me cry.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

From Xenomorphs to ETs: Which Alien Species is the Best? This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl boldly go into the sci-fi vault to debate the most creative alien species in the galaxy. Think Na'vi spirituality meets Xenomorph acid vomit. From hive-minded cybernetic zombies to fire-based art snobs, it's time to crown the weirdest, wildest, most wonderful extraterrestrials in fiction. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Alien, Mine: Alien Showdown… Who’s the Best? Darryl Heptapods (from Arrival) Physical Traits – Appearance: Heptapods are seven-limbed (hence the name “hepta-” meaning seven) creatures with a large, oval-shaped head and a body that appears to be semi-transparent2. – Eyes: They have thousands of small, dime-sized eyes in clusters, which are actually patches of photosensitive skin. – Sensory Perception: They use sophisticated sonar to perceive their environment, allowing them to detect even minute details. Culture – Non-linear Perception of Time: Heptapods experience time non-linearly, meaning they perceive past, present, and future simultaneously. This is reflected in their language and behavior3. – Patience and Long-term Thinking: Their non-linear perception of time gives them a unique perspective on patience and long-term consequences. They are willing to wait for humans to understand their language and purpose4. – Purpose of Arrival: They arrive on Earth to share their language, Heptapod B, which they believe will help humanity understand their non-linear perception of time and potentially aid them in the future. Language – Heptapod A: This is their spoken language, which sounds very organic and is designed to be heard rather than spoken. – Heptapod B: This is their written language, consisting of circular logograms that represent entire concepts or sentences rather than individual words. The meaning of these logograms depends on the tendrils and splotches branching out from their circular rings2. – Impact on Humans: Learning Heptapod B alters the human perception of time, allowing them to experience events out of sequence, similar to how Heptapods perceive time. MorningLightMountain (Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton) Physical Traits: – Prime Bodies: MorningLightMountain’s consciousness inhabits billions of distinct Prime bodies. These bodies are divided into two types: motiles and immotiles1. – Motiles: Motiles can see and move but are relatively unintelligent on their own. – Immotiles: Immotiles are blind and immobile but highly intelligent. They can breed motiles, and four motiles can merge to form a new immotile1. – Wormhole Technology: MorningLightMountain possesses wormhole technology, allowing its bodies to communicate over arbitrarily large distances. Mental Traits: – Hive Mind: MorningLightMountain operates as a hive mind, with a single united consciousness spread across billions of bodies. – Xenophobic and Expansionist: The Primes, including MorningLightMountain, are highly xenophobic and expansionist, seeking to subsume or destroy other species. – Highly Intelligent: Immotiles can link to each other for greater processing power, making MorningLightMountain one of the most powerful Primes. Linguistic Traits: – Non-Verbal Communication: MorningLightMountain primarily communicates non-verbally through its network of bodies. – Radio Transmitters: Primes use implanted radio transmitters to stay wirelessly connected, allowing for long-range communication. Saga of the Seven Suns series (Kevin J Anderson) Hydrogues – Physical Traits: Elemental beings composed of water and gas, often appearing as massive, swirling masses of liquid and vapor. – Culture: Highly territorial and aggressive, especially when their habitats are threatened. They have a deep connection to water and gas. – Language: Communicate through complex patterns of vibrations and waves. Faeros – Physical Traits: Elemental beings associated with fire and light, emitting a warm glow and capable of producing flames. – Culture: Passionate and energetic, valuing creativity and expression. They are often involved in artistic and spiritual pursuits. – Language: Communicate through a combination of spoken language and visual symbols, using their fiery abilities to create intricate patterns and displays. Borg Physical Traits: – Cybernetic Enhancements: The Borg are a collective of various species that have been assimilated and augmented with cybernetic implants. This results in a mix of biological and mechanical features. – Pale Skin: Their skin tends to be pale or grayish due to the integration of technology and loss of individuality. – Mechanical Limbs and Eyes: Many Borg drones have mechanical limbs and/or eyes, often replacing their original biological parts with more efficient cybernetic versions. Culture: – Collective Consciousness: The Borg operate as a hive mind, known as the Collective. Individuality is suppressed, and all drones are connected through a central consciousness. – Assimilation: The primary goal of the Borg is to assimilate other species to enhance their own collective knowledge and capabilities. This is often done forcibly, with the mantra “Resistance is futile.” – Efficient and Methodical: The Borg are highly efficient and methodical in their actions, driven by their collective purpose of achieving perfection. Language: – Communal Communication: The Borg communicate internally through their collective consciousness, sharing thoughts and information instantaneously. – Distinctive Speech Patterns: When speaking externally, the Borg often use a collective “we” to represent their hive mind and have a monotone, emotionless speech pattern. Changelings (Founders) Physical Traits: – Shapeshifters: Changelings are highly advanced shapeshifters capable of assuming any form, from humanoid figures to inanimate objects. – Gelatinous State: In their natural form, Changelings exist as a gelatinous mass, which they revert to when at rest or regenerating. – Golden Hue: Their gelatinous form has a distinctive golden hue. Culture: – Great Link: The Changelings share a deep connection through the Great Link, a shared state where they merge together in their natural form, exchanging thoughts and experiences. – Isolation and Control: Historically, Changelings have sought to isolate themselves from solids (non-shapeshifting species) and control them to protect themselves from persecution and harm. – Founders of the Dominion: Changelings are the ruling species of the Dominion, a powerful political and military alliance in the Gamma Quadrant. They employ the Vorta and Jem’Hadar as their loyal servants to enforce their will. Language: – Universal Communication: Changelings typically communicate in the languages of the species they interact with. Their ability to shapeshift allows them to perfectly mimic speech. – Telepathic Connection: Within the Great Link, communication is telepathic and intuitive, allowing for an exchange of complex ideas and emotions without words. Na’vi (James Cameron Avatar movies) Physical Traits – Height and Build: The Na’vi are tall, standing about 10 feet (3 meters) in height, and have a slender, graceful build. – Blue Skin: They have blue skin with bioluminescent patterns that glow in the dark, helping them blend into their environment. – Four-Fingered Hands: Unlike humans, the Na’vi have four fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot. – Cat-like Features: They have large, expressive, golden eyes, pointed ears, and tails, giving them a feline appearance. – Braid with Neural Queue: Each Na’vi has a long braid called a “tswin,” which contains a neural queue that allows them to connect with other creatures and the environment on Pandora. Culture – Deep Connection with Nature: The Na’vi live in harmony with the natural world of Pandora. They have a deep spiritual connection with the flora, fauna, and the planet itself. – Clans and Tribes: The Na’vi are organized into various clans and tribes, each with its own customs and traditions. The Omaticaya clan, for example, resides in the Hometree. – Eywa: The Na’vi worship Eywa, the Great Mother, a deity representing the interconnectedness of all life on Pandora. They believe that Eywa maintains the balance of life. – Rites of Passage: Na’vi culture includes several rites of passage, such as the bonding with a direhorse (pa’li) and a mountain banshee (ikran), which signify one’s transition into adulthood. – Hunting and Gathering: The Na’vi are skilled hunters and gatherers, relying on their environment for sustenance while respecting the creatures they hunt. Language – Na’vi Language: The Na’vi have their own language, developed specifically for the film by linguist Dr. Paul Frommer. It is a fully functional language with its own grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. – Tsaheylu: The neural bond, called “tsaheylu,” allows the Na’vi to connect with other creatures and their environment. This connection is a form of communication that transcends spoken language. Xenomorphs (Alien Franchise) Physical Traits: – Exoskeleton: Xenomorphs have a biomechanical, black exoskeleton that provides them with great durability and a fearsome appearance. – Elongated Skull: They possess an elongated, ridged skull with a lack of visible eyes, giving them a terrifying, eyeless visage. – Inner Jaws: Equipped with a secondary, inner jaw that can extend from their mouths for lethal attacks. – Tail: Their long, muscular tails end in a sharp blade, which they use for both balance and as a weapon. – Acidic Blood: Their blood is highly acidic, capable of burning through metal and other materials. Culture: – Hive Structure: Xenomorphs have a hive-based social structure, with a Queen at the center, responsible for laying eggs and maintaining the population. – Instinct-Driven: They operate primarily on instinct, driven by a need to propagate their species. This includes capturing hosts for their Facehuggers to implant embryos. – Parasitic Life Cycle: Their life cycle involves multiple stages: Egg, Facehugger, Chestburster, and Adult. The Facehugger attaches to a host, implanting an embryo that later emerges violently from the host’s chest as a Chestburster. – Adaptive and Versatile: They can adapt to different environments and hosts, resulting in various Xenomorph types with specific traits influenced by their host species. Language: – Non-Verbal Communication: Xenomorphs communicate non-verbally through body language, pheromones, and hisses or screeches. Their interactions are primarily based on their hive hierarchy and instinctual behaviors. Species 8472 (Undine) — Honorable Mention Physical Traits: – Tripedal and Non-Humanoid: Species 8472, also known as Undine, are tripedal beings with a non-humanoid appearance. – Fluidic Space Origin: They originate from a dimension called fluidic space, which is accessible through quantum singularities. – Biological Technology: Their highly developed biology and organic technology make them tactically superior to the Borg. Culture: – War with the Borg: Species 8472 engaged in a war with the Borg after the Borg invaded their realm of fluidic space. They proved immune to assimilation and launched a counter-invasion of the galaxy2. – Genocidal Intentions: They have a genocidal intent towards other species, considering them a threat. – Negotiations with the Federation: Captain Kathryn Janeway of the USS Voyager negotiated peace with Species 8472, using a weapon developed from Borg nanoprobes to force them to retreat. Language: – Telepathic Communication: Species 8472 communicate telepathically, using their telepathic abilities to convey thoughts and intentions. – Unknown Name: Their name for themselves is unknown, as they are referred to by their Borg designation. Brian Farscape Luxans – Tall, warrior-like humanoids with a warrior code of honor. – Recognizable by their facial tendrils and thick-skinned appearance. – Can heal themselves through a process called “battlefield transfusion.” – Notable Character: Ka D'Argo – A fierce but noble warrior with a tragic past. Delvians – A sentient plant-based species with blue skin and photokinetic abilities. – Capable of deep meditation and powerful telepathic abilities. – Often have a spiritual or religious focus. – Notable Character: Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan – A Delvian priestess who can use her mind and biochemistry to heal or harm. Scarrans – Reptilian, highly aggressive, and among the most physically powerful species. – Possess natural heat-based abilities, allowing them to intimidate or harm opponents. – Scarrans view themselves as the superior species and often engage in genetic experimentation. – Notable Character: Emperor Staleek – A ruthless leader of the Scarran Empire. Pilots – Large, multi-limbed creatures that are biologically bonded to Leviathans (living ships). – They have a deep connection with their Leviathan and can control their functions. – Notable Character: Pilot – The pilot of Moya, who communicates with the crew and the ship. Leviathans – Living, biomechanical starships that possess sentience. – Generally peaceful but can be forced into servitude by Peacekeeper “Control Collars.” – Notable Character: Moya – The Leviathan that serves as the home and transport for Crichton and his crew. Star Wars (Expanded Universe) Yuuzhan Vong Who Are the Yuuzhan Vong? The Yuuzhan Vong are an extragalactic warrior species who invaded the Star Wars galaxy, triggering the Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY). Unlike most species in Star Wars, they: – Are immune to the Force – Jedi cannot sense them, and their presence in the galaxy caused major upheaval in the Force itself. – Use only organic technology – They abhor droids and mechanical technology, instead using genetically engineered living creatures as weapons, ships, and tools. – Are deeply religious and fanatical – They follow a strict caste system and worship pain as a path to enlightenment. Biology & Appearance – Humanoid, but with ritualistic scarring and tattooing that marks their status in society. – They believe in self-mutilation and pain as a form of religious devotion. – Have a higher pain tolerance than most species. – They view cybernetics and machines as heretical and replace body parts with living biotechnological organisms. Society & Culture The Yuuzhan Vong are organized into a rigid caste system: – The Supreme Overlord – The absolute ruler of their species. – Notable Character: Supreme Overlord Shimrra, who led the invasion of the galaxy. – The Warrior Caste – Devoted soldiers who follow a strict code of honor. – The Priest Caste – Religious leaders who interpret the will of the gods. – The Shaper Caste – Scientists responsible for bioengineering their weapons and technology. – The Intendant Caste – Bureaucrats and administrators. – The Worker Caste – The lowest rank, responsible for labor. Their entire culture revolves around pain, sacrifice, and religious zeal, believing that their gods command them to conquer and purify the galaxy. Yuuzhan Vong Technology (All Organic) – Living Starships (Coralskippers & Worldships) – Instead of metal ships, they use bio-engineered living vessels. – Vonduun Crab Armor – Grown, not manufactured, and is resistant to lightsabers. – Amphistaffs – Living snake-like weapons that function as both swords and whips. – Dovin Basals – Creatures that create miniature black holes to absorb attacks (even deflecting turbolaser fire). – Yorik Coral – Used to construct buildings, ships, and even restrain captives. The Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY) – The Yuuzhan Vong invaded the New Republic, launching a brutal war. – They captured and terraformed many worlds, including turning Coruscant into a massive Yuuzhan Vong ecosystem. – The Jedi, New Republic, and remnants of the Empire had to unite to fight them. – The war ended when Supreme Overlord Shimrra was killed, and his second-in-command, Onimi, was revealed as the real mastermind. – After their defeat, the surviving Yuuzhan Vong were relocated to Zonama Sekot, a living planet. Why Are They So Unique? – They stand out from all other Star Wars villains because they don't use the Force and their biology/technology is completely different from the rest of the galaxy. – They pushed the Jedi to their limits—without the ability to sense them in the Force, traditional Jedi tactics were ineffective. – Their brutality and disregard for machines made them unlike the Sith, the Empire, or any other major villains in Star Wars. Legacy in Star Wars While the Yuuzhan Vong were a major part of Legends, they have not appeared in the Disney canon yet. However, The Clone Wars animated series almost introduced them in a scrapped episode. Falling Skies Espheni (Overlords) – The main antagonists for most of the series. – An advanced, insectoid-like species with a strict hierarchical society. – Possess telepathic abilities and are highly intelligent strategists. – Use a combination of biotechnology and mechanical technology for warfare. – Consider humans an inferior species and attempt to enslave them. – They have an imperialistic nature, having conquered multiple planets before Earth. Notable Espheni: – The Espheni Overlords – Tall, slender, and powerful commanders of the invasion. – The Espheni Queen – The true leader of the invasion, revealed in the final season. Skitters (Arachnids) – Multi-limbed, insectoid creatures used as foot soldiers by the Espheni. – Originally another enslaved species, controlled through neural harnesses attached to their spines. – Many Skitters are loyal to the Espheni, but a rebel faction exists. – Known for high mobility, leaping abilities, and brutal combat skills. Notable Skitters: – Red-Eye – A rebel Skitter who aids the human resistance. – Harnessed Children – Human children forcibly enslaved by the Espheni using a similar mind-controlling harness. The Harnessed – Human (mainly children) captives of the Espheni, controlled through a biomechanical harness attached to their spines. – The harness allows the Espheni to control their minds and enhance their physical abilities. – Over time, harnessed children begin to transform into Skitters themselves. – Ben Mason, the son of protagonist Tom Mason, is partially harnessed but later freed. The Volm – A technologically advanced, humanoid alien species that arrives in Season 3 to help humanity. – They have been at war with the Espheni for generations and seek to liberate Earth. – Use energy-based weapons and powerful war machines. – While allied with humans, their leader, Cochise, warns that they have their own agenda. Notable Volm: – Cochise – The main Volm character, who forms a bond with the humans and helps them fight the Espheni. The Dornia (The Ancient Enemy) – Introduced late in the series as a mysterious aquatic species. – The original victims of the Espheni, nearly wiped out in the past. – Offer limited aid to the human resistance but provide key knowledge for defeating the Espheni Queen. – Their advanced biology allows them to manipulate water-based environments. Final Thoughts – The Espheni are classic conquerors, much like the Yuuzhan Vong (Star Wars) or Scarrans (Farscape), but with an added layer of biotechnology. – The Skitters are tragic figures, originally a peaceful species enslaved by the Espheni. – The Volm act as reluctant saviors, assisting humanity while maintaining their own goals. – The show played with themes of resistance, survival, and moral ambiguity, especially when it came to dealing with harnessed humans.

I broke up with Amazon and Google when I left social media in 2021, and this year I decided it was also time to quit using Spotify.Why? Well because my values are not aligned with enriching billionaires like Jeff Bezos, letting Google track my behavior everywhere, or supporting Spotify in paying artists pennies.So in this episode, I share a bit more about my decision-making and how I've managed to stop using the services and tools that these companies create.To be clear — I'm not making a case for why you “should” quit any of these platforms. But if this is a shift you WANT to make, I am offering a few suggestions.Tune in to hear:The 3 mindset shifts that make it possible to leave Google, Amazon & SpotifyMy 5-step process for breaking up with these companies & their servicesAll the tools I used to replace GoogleThe ways I still use Amazon even though I canceled Prime years agoHow quitting Spotify changed my music-listening (more on that here) For a quick summary & links to my fave tools, check out the blog post I wrote when I first made this decision: http://www.ameliahruby.com/blog/getting-off-google-facebook-amazon RESOURCES + LINKS

Imagination sparks your hosts this week.There are times where Teebs and KidPhoenix get ideas in their heads as far as content they'd like to pitch. The best way to figure out if these ideas are good or bad is for them to get those ideas out of their heads and into the Interweb to be thought about further or just plain laughed at.Today is the latest installment of that in a more formal format that we'd like to call "Pitch Perfect?"Follow and subscribe to our YouTube page as well as our other social media pages⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Yup, an actual text sent by Patti to the Pottymouth because the new Pope is a legit sports fan. And oh how Chicago is enjoying that! We've got some nods to Mothers Day – badass Veronica Alvarez is gifted maternity baseball pants, Jace and Josh's mom gets to wear a split jersey to watch them face off on a major league field, and Pottymouth gets a hat. That Patti gets to wear. Jasson Dominguez overtakes a record previously held by Joe DiMaggio. Jackson Merrill says “daddy ball” and something mysterious that we can only guess at, and Andy Pages takes the real job. Some Houston fans overstep into dangerous and hateful territory over Lance McCullers. PIT can't catch a break anywhere, from fans, stadium staff, or managers. Rafael Devers is in need of some Crash Davis to get himself together. And Ayami Sato pitches for the Maple Leafs (the baseball ones, not the hockey ones). Pottymouth invites local friends of the show to Patti's birthday party. It's a two homonym day on the show, see if you can spot them both!We say, “You're not really wearing pants,” “Tennis and Wordle.

Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is famously known as the only rigorously tested antioxidant for age prevention. Yet this active is also notoriously known for its quirky characteristics in the classic CE Ferulic serum format. This unstable hot dog water has often generated concerns for using it long term. In this episode, the chemists discuss ascorbic acid's stability and compare vitamin C in water-based formulas vs. anhydrous formulas to see if there's a better format for this finicky active.  Products Discussed this 2025 Podcast Season *a small portion of your purchase through these links goes to feeding a chemist. https://shopmy.us/collections/1280514 Product Shoutout: Aquafix Hydrating Water Gel https://chemistconfessions.com/products/aquafix-hydrating-water-gel Enrichment Content: Podcast Ep - Which Vitamin C Derivative is Better? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b96PX4L6hsQ&t=82s Results of our CE Ferulic Dupe Test - Pt. 1 https://chemistconfessions.com/blogs/5-skinceuticals-vitamin-c-dupes-put-to-the-test Follow us: IG: https://www.instagram.com/chemist.confessions/ INTERWEB: https://chemistconfessions.com/ TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@chemistconfessions?lang=en Skincare questions for the podcast?

Why do Men prefer to be alone with a Gorilla? This week on The Infamous Podcast, Brian and Darryl tackle one of the internet's dumbest (and somehow most passionate) debates: 100 Men vs. a Gorilla. Could a man take a gorilla in a fair fight? No. Could 100? Probably not. Will we talk about it anyway? Absolutely. Then, it's time for some mini-reviews: Brian breaks down The Accountant 2—does Ben Affleck still bring the spreadsheet-smashing heat? While, Darryl reviews Thunderbolts**—a.k.a. the New Avengers, B-Team edition. Is Marvel back, or is it still stuck in its own multiversal funk? Episode Index Intro: 0:07 The New Avengers: 5:26 The Accountant 2: 15:15 100 Men vs. a Gorilla: 27:37 Mini-Review: Thunderbolts* (Darryl) – “It's not the Avengers you wanted, it's the team we got.” Out of 10 Wow this is what Summer School Sports Teams Look Like Darryl: 6.5/10 Summary Thunderbolts* is Marvel's latest attempt at a team-up movie where the B-team does C-tier missions with D-level emotional development. It's like The Avengers if everyone needed therapy, a second chance, and a better script. Think Suicide Squad, but with less attitude and more MCU baggage. Mini-Review: The Accountant 2 (Brian) – “Autism, action, and accounting: the triple-A blockbuster?” Out of 10 Ben Affleck When Full Simple Jack, You Never Go Full Simple Jack Brian: 5.75/10 Summary The Accountant 2 sees Ben Affleck back as the world's most dangerous math nerd—solving problems with spreadsheets and suppressed submachine guns. It's part action thriller, part tax season fever dream. Somehow, it's even more emotionally reserved than the IRS, but hey—at least the body count balances out. 100 Men vs. a Gorilla (our 100 men from fact, fiction, and the great beyond) Brian and Darryl take on the internet's dumbest debate live—by drafting their personal squad of 100 men to go toe-to-toe with one gorilla. No prep. No weapons. Just questionable logic, weird strategy, and vibes. Expect cameos from history, pop culture, and possibly professional wrestlers. Will it help? Absolutely not. But it'll be hilarious. The Men 1. Simon Phoenix 2. Contact Us The Infamous Podcast can be found wherever podcasts are found on the Interwebs, feel free to subscribe and follow along on social media.

It's the day Bradley met Adley, Pottymouth decides to reach out to Duran's mom, we sort out the battery issues and we discuss the pros and cons of honoring Don Johnson via City Connect even though it's working for Kyle. We report in on our terrific experience watching See Her, Be Her on the big screen and enjoying a star-studded panel discussing women playing baseball. We are amused that PCA trolled his dad about the Cubs as a child, and that Yadi and his brothers may be set to music – or at least film. Patti does enjoy a conversation about building code and yet another opportunity to tell listeners to stop leaning into the field of play. We've got some but not all Eagles in the White House and are surprised to learn that the Commissioner's business in the White House included a conversation about immigration policy. We also learn how to use “scheduling conflict” effectively. We crosstrain with aircraft and horseback.

Jackie Robinson Day came and went with Kareem calling out the President's attack on DEI (although we don't think it is a ruse for segregation, we think it *is* segregation), Mookie saying some hard truths about the LAD at the White House, and the commissioner saying some weak things and making questionable visits. Pottymouth got the Puk out of there and told us of fast boys, Patti's flock is making with the Ks and she tells us how math works. Miranda has a bad day set to good tunes.

One of these stories had a resurrection that actually worked… This week on The Infamous Podcast, Brian and Darryl close the chapter on Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, and it's… a choice. Then they dig into Amazon's new supernatural bounty hunter series The Bondsman, which might just be the weirdest thing Prime Video has greenlit this month (and that's saying something). Darryl delivers a mini-review of The King of Kings—a cinematic sermon or box office blunder? Meanwhile, Brian charges in with a tactical breakdown of Warfare, where the explosions were loud and the film was in-ten-city-in-ten-cities. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 The King of Kings Mini-Review: 6:00 Warfare Mini-Review: 12:08 Daredevil: Born Again Finale: 21:50 The Bondsman Season 1: 36:11 Mini-Review: The King of Kings (2025) – Rating 8/10 Summary Directed by Seong-ho Jang, this animated film features Charles Dickens (voiced by Kenneth Branagh) narrating the life of Jesus to his son Walter, who imagines himself witnessing biblical events. The film combines a unique framing device with a faithful retelling of the Gospels, featuring voice talents like Oscar Isaac as Jesus and Mark Hamill as King Herod. It's a heartfelt, family-friendly portrayal that resonates with audiences of all ages.  Mini-Review: Warfare (2025) – Rating 6.75/10 Summary Co-directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, “Warfare” offers a harrowing, real-time depiction of a Navy SEAL mission gone awry in Ramadi, Iraq. Based on Mendoza's own experiences, the film immerses viewers in the chaos of combat, highlighting the psychological toll on soldiers. With a strong ensemble cast and a commitment to authenticity, it's a visceral exploration of modern warfare's realities. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+) Out of 5 Broken Batons Darryl: 2.75/5 Brian: 3.2/5 Season 1 Out of 10 Conflicted Catholics in Spandex Darryl: 6.25/10 Brian: 6.9/10 Summary In the finale titled “Straight to Hell,” Matt Murdock faces devastating losses: Foggy Nelson is murdered by Bullseye under Vanessa Fisk's orders, and Kingpin seizes control of New York, imposing martial law. Despite the chaos, Matt, with allies like Karen Page and the Punisher, begins to form a resistance, setting the stage for a darker, more intense Season 2.  The Bondsman – Season 1 (Prime) Out of 10 Deals with the Devil Darryl: 7.5/10 Brian: 7.85/10 Summary The Bondsman is a supernatural western-action series from Amazon Prime that blends grit, grief, and a touch of hellfire. It follows Hub Halloran (played by Kevin Bacon), a grizzled and recently deceased bounty hunter who gets a second shot at redemption — but with a catch: he's brought back to life by the Devil himself to track down demons who've escaped Hell. Armed with his cowboy instincts, a sarcastic streak, and a growing sense of purpose, Hub rides across dusty towns and shadowy landscapes hunting hellspawn, questioning whether this is punishment, penance… or something more cosmic. Along the way, he reconnects with estranged family, forms an unlikely bond with a demon-turned-sidekick named Midge, and uncovers a deeper plot that could tear open the gates of Hell permanently. The tone walks a line between Justified and Supernatural, with bursts of dark humor, philosophical musings, and buckets of demon-slaying chaos. Bacon brings swagger and weariness in equal measure, anchoring a surprisingly emotional core in a show that never takes itself too seriously — until it suddenly does. Episode 1: “Hell to Pay” Bounty hunter Hub Halloran is murdered and resurrected by the Devil to hunt escaped demons, marking the start of his supernatural journey. Episode 2: “Dead Man's Debt” Hub captures an arsonist named Tater, uncovering a larger demonic plot. Episode 3: “Family Ties” Hub reconnects with his estranged family, seeking assistance in his mission. Episode 4: “Crossroads” A demon threatens a local community, forcing Hub to make a moral choice. Episode 5: “The Devil's Due” Hub confronts the consequences of his past actions as a bounty hunter. Episode 6: “Revelations” Hub uncovers a deeper conspiracy involving escaped demons and seeks help from Midge. Episode 7: “Pyralis” Hub and Midge attempt to prevent an apocalyptic event orchestrated by a powerful demon. Episode 8: “Lilith” Hub confronts his greatest sin and faces a formidable demonic adversary, seeking redemption.

Come on down for the 100th episode of Off the Grid!!!

So many catchers in this snack size episode.  We've got pinky injuries, rolled ankles, welcome back dingers with glasses, and only dingers against Toronto. The Orioles help build an outdoor classroom at Harlem Park Elementary with a donated playoff share, and players fill its library with their own favorite books.  Pottymouth is well aware that she should roster her NYY bf but you can't take the Boston out of the fantasy team manager. What happened to Mike Trout is NOT what happened to Mookie Betts, it's not against the rules, but please stop doing it anyway. Duran is missing a huge opportunity to atone for past mistakes and change lives, but nope. Please read this piece by Kevin Blackstone in the Washington Post about the team of Jackie Robinson visiting the Trump White House.  We would have just ranted, but he just lays it all out there, calm, cool, and cutting. Pottymouth walks us through all the connections between the tragic roof collapse of the Dominican nightclub and so many MLB players. Patti picks “person in front of whom all ideas for alternate team identities must be run before selection” as her next career.  The River Cats/Gold Diggers really put her over. Puerto Rico looks like the only place we can stand to visit for WBC games – want to join us?We say, “Rivaling this on the classy scale…” “Honorable mention to a non-croucher,” and “That's so much more concise for all those words I just said…” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

James Gunn is the WORST Choice for a Superman Movie This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl talk about DC Studios misguided attempt at releasing the first 5 minutes-ish of Superman: Legacy.

Kim reports to Fisk, who is angry that Daredevil has returned, that the primary suspect for Muse is a troubled young man named Bastian Cooper. Luca asks Vanessa to return to her criminal activities behind Fisk’s back. In a session with Glenn, Bastian thanks her for helping him to embrace his true identity. She realizes he is Muse and Bastian knocks her unconscious. Murdock and the AVTF separately find paintings of Glenn in Muse’s lair and go to save her. As Daredevil, Murdock arrives at Glenn’s office first and rescues her. As the AVTF prepares to enter, Glenn fatally shoots Muse before fainting. Murdock stabilizes her before the AVTF arrives. Fisk gives credit for stopping Muse to the AVTF and publicly declares them to be heroes. Blake threatens BB into removing eyewitness mentions of Daredevil’s involvement in the incident from her blog. A recovering Glenn tells Murdock that she heard Daredevil say her name. Vanessa seemingly sends Luca to kill Fisk, but this is a trap and Cashman kills Luca. Episode 8: “Isle of Joy” Out of 5 Fingers in the Grease Darryl: 4.1/5 Brian: 4.15/5 Director: Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead Writer: Jesse Wigutow & Dario Scardapane Air Date: April 8, 2025 Summary: Dex is moved from solitary confinement to gen pop on Fisk’s orders. Fisk also reveals his imprisonment of Adam to Vanessa and watches as she kills him; promotes Blake to Deputy Mayor of Communications; and invites Glenn to his Black & White Ball fundraiser. Murdock realizes that Fisk is Glenn’s patient, further straining their relationship as he contests her anti-vigilante views. At Josie’s bar, Murdock learns that Nelson was celebrating an impending court win the night he died. Believing Fisk hired Dex to silence Nelson, Murdock interrogates Dex and injures him. Dex later kills his doctor and a guard before escaping prison. At the ball, Fisk privately blackmails Duquesne—who is the sword-wielding vigilante Swordsman—and other socialites into supporting his port project. Gallo speaks against Powell’s torture of an infiltrating reporter. BB, who is aware of Fisk’s involvement in her uncle Ben Urich’s murder, asks Gallo to help bring down Fisk and the AVTF through whatever way possivle.

It seems like all the cool kids are getting contact extensions and we float a few more contenders. Pottymouth wants to complete her Walker set and Patti just wants a complete infield.

Once again one of your hosts goes with heart and the other one wants to not lose. The WooSox give us Women in Sports Day proving we should never need to hear “Ladies Night” at a ballpark again. Kelsie goes for another first, and you've got an Eastern Womens Baseball Conference reading assignment. Pottymouth models how to constructively deal when terrible humans end up on your favorite team.

Hello to you listening in Berlin, Germany!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (& a bit more) for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.This lovely poem you're about to hear was written in Portugese by Ricardo Gondim Rodrigues, a Brazilian theologian and progressive pastor. The English translation and title (“My Soul Has a Hat”) is often mis-attributed to Mário de Andrade (1893-1945), poet, novelist, essayist, and one of the founders of Brazilian modernism.Click HERE to read the backstory.Click HERE to read “My Soul Has a Hat” by Mário de Andrade Is Fake News for more information. Remember, not everything you find on the InterWeb is correct. Accuracy is everything!O Tempo que Foge (The Time That Runs Away)"I counted my years and realized that I have less time to live by, than I have lived so far. I feel like a child who won a pack of candies: at first, he ate them with pleasure but when he realized that there was little left, he began to taste them intensely.I have no time for endless meetings where the statutes, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be done.I no longer have the patience to stand absurd people who, despite their chronological age, have not grown up. My time is too short: I want the essence; my spirit is in a hurry. I do not have much candy in the package anymore.I want to live next to humans, very realistic people who know how to laugh at their mistakes and who are not inflated by their own triumphs and who take responsibility for their actions. In this way, human dignity is defended and we live in truth and honesty. It is the essentials that make life useful.I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch the hearts of those whom hard strokes of life have learned to grow with sweet touches of the soul.Yes, I'm in a hurry. I'm in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give. I do not intend to waste any of the remaining desserts. I am sure they will be exquisite, much more than those eaten so far.My goal is to reach the end satisfied and at peace with my loved ones and my conscience. We have two lives and the second begins when you realize you only have one."Question: Are you spending your time on the right things?

In this episode, we discuss: The Great Ghiblification, Shinigami Totori, The Sayama Incident, Mr. Sato's Transformation, The Demon of Reiwa, The Watatsumi Shrine Incident (a False Poo Operation?), YOUは何をしに日本へ, Studio SIX Shibari (link purposefully excluded as it is NSFW), and some relatively unknown news stories related to Japanese tourists behavior poorly abroad, the picnic incident being my personal favorite.  Additionally—please note this erratum: There appears to be approximately zero (0) evidence that Johnny Somali is commonly referred to as “The Oni of Reiwa” (aka 令和の鬼) across the cyberplanes of the Interweb. A classic AI-chan brain burp. An illusion. A shimmering mirage in the Data Desert.This brings me to an important point: Please keep in the following disclaimer when listening to the Deep in Japan Podcast: We know nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

When Your Movie Trailer is a Lie 101 This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are breaking down the disappointing box office performance of Snow Brown, talking about Cody vs. Cena, reviewing the last two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again, share a very disappointed review for A Working Man, and then it’s on to the Reacher Season 3 finale. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Snow Brown Box Office: Cena vs. Cody: Daredevil: A Working Man: Reacher: Snow Brown Box Office As of March 30, 2025, Snow White has accumulated $66.9 million in the United States and Canada, with an additional $75.8 million from international markets, totaling approximately $142.8 million worldwide. Given the film's substantial production and marketing budget, industry analysts suggest it would need to gross around $500 million globally to break even, indicating potential financial losses for Disney. John Cena and Cody Rhodes Cook on the Road to Wrestlemania On Monday Night Raw at London's O2 Arena, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and John Cena engaged in a heated confrontation ahead of their WrestleMania 41 main event. The segment began with Cena addressing the audience, only to be interrupted by Rhodes, who challenged Cena's recent criticisms. The exchange quickly escalated, with both men delivering personal and intense verbal attacks. Cena accused Rhodes of being a “sociopathic nepo baby” with an inflated ego, referencing his neck tattoo and past gimmicks. Rhodes countered by questioning Cena's authenticity and motivations, suggesting that the fans chose him, whereas Cena was selected by a now-absent figure in WWE management. The confrontation culminated physically when Cena attempted a cheap shot, but Rhodes countered, delivering his signature “Cross Rhodes” maneuver, leaving Cena laid out in the ring. This intense segment has significantly amplified anticipation for their upcoming clash at WrestleMania 41. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney Plus) Episode 5: “With Interest” Out of 5 Please Don’t Remind Us Darryl: 3/5 Brian: 4.03/5 Director: Jeffrey Nachmanoff Writer: Grainne Godfree Air Date: March 25, 2025 Summary: Matt Murdock finds himself entangled in a bank robbery alongside Yusuf Khan, father of Ms. Marvel. While some viewers appreciated the lighter, standalone nature of the episode, others felt it was a filler that didn't advance the main plot. The inclusion of Yusuf Khan was seen by some as a fun MCU connection, while others viewed it as forced. Overall, the episode received mixed reactions, with some enjoying the change of pace and others longing for more substantial narrative progression. Episode 6: “Excessive Force” Out of 5 Dueling Fight Scenes Darryl: 4/5 Brian: 4.13/5 Director: David Boyd Writer: Thomas Wong Air Date: March 25, 2025 Summary: Matt Murdock finally decides that playing dress-up in red spandex is the best way to tackle New York's latest menace—a serial killer named Muse who thinks painting with blood is avant-garde. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk, ever the multitasker, juggles his mayoral duties with forming a secret police squad of “bad apples” to combat vigilantes, because nothing says “law and order” like unchecked brutality. The episode oscillates between Daredevil's gritty showdown with Muse and Fisk's personal therapy session, which involves beating a man senseless in a prison cell. It's a heartwarming tale of two men embracing their true selves: one through morally ambiguous fisticuffs, the other through homicidal rage. Critics have noted that this return to form brings back the “nastiness and grit” reminiscent of the pre-Disney+ days. Overall, it's a delightful reminder that in the Marvel universe, personal growth often involves a healthy dose of violence. A Working Man (2025) Out of 10 Could There Be Any More Temu Batman Villains in One Movie Darryl: 4.25/10 Brian: 4/5 Summary “A Working Man” is a 2025 action thriller directed by David Ayer and co-written by Ayer and Sylvester Stallone. The film follows Levon Cade, portrayed by Jason Statham, a former black ops operative who has left his violent past behind to work in construction and care for his daughter. His attempt at a peaceful life is shattered when his boss's teenage daughter is kidnapped by human traffickers, compelling Levon to employ his lethal skills to rescue her. Writer: Sylvester Stallone, David Ayer Director: David Ayer Producers: David Ayer, Bill Block, John Friedberg, Chris Long, Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone Cast: Jason Statham as Levon Cade Michael Peña as Joe Garcia David Harbour as Gunny Lefferty Jason Flemyng as Wolo Kolisnyk Arianna Rivas as Jenny Garcia Noemi Gonzalez as Carla Garcia Emmett J. Scanlan as Viper Eve Mauro as Artemis Maximilian Osinski as Dimi Kolisnyk Isla Gie as Merry Cade Studio: Amazon MGM Studios Release Date: March 28, 2025 Box Office: As of April 1, 2025, the film has grossed $33.4 million worldwide, with $16.8 million from the United States and Canada, and $16.6 million from other territories. Reacher (Amazon Prime) Finale Out of 5 Stolen But Not Really Stolen Motorcycles Darryl: 4/5 Brian: 4.12/5 Season 3 Out of 10 There’s Always a Bigger Fish Darryl: 8/10 Brian: 8.21/10 Episode Title: “Unfinished Business”  Director: Sam Hill  Writer: Scott Sullivan  Air Date: March 27, 2025  Summary: In the gripping Season 3 finale of Reacher, titled “Unfinished Business,” Jack Reacher and his team confront the treacherous Xavier Quinn at Zachary Beck's estate. The episode features an intense showdown between Reacher and the formidable bodyguard Paulie, culminating in Paulie's demise. Amidst the chaos, Zachary Beck sacrifices himself to protect his son, Richard, from Quinn's wrath. Ultimately, Reacher exacts vengeance on Quinn, bringing their tumultuous history to a close. The season concludes with Reacher parting ways with his allies and riding off on a motorcycle, embodying his solitary nature.

Sometimes Karma is Worse Than a Poison Apple This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are talking about the latest episode of Daredevil: Born Again, the penultimate episode of Reacher season 3, and the absolute BOMB of Snow White at the box office, and what Disney should do to recover. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Snow Brown: 4:19 Daredevil: 22:43 Reacher: 36:27 Snow White Box Office News Disney's live-action remake of “Snow White” has experienced a disappointing performance at the box office. The film debuted with approximately $43 million in domestic earnings and a global total of around $87 million, both figures falling short of initial projections. Snow White Gets BRUTAL News As NEW Rachel Zegler Video GOES VIRAL & Makes Things WORSE For Disney https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qVfLvS_X2A Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+) Out of 5 Punisher Brand Sewer Bullets Darryl: 3.6/5 Brian: 3.6/5 Episode Title: Sic Semper Systema Director: Jeffrey Nachmanoff Writer: David Feige & Jess Wigutow Air Date: March 18, 2025 Summary: Murdock is confronted by Ayala’s niece, Angela del Toro, who believes the police are responsible for Ayala’s death. Murdock comforts her with hope that the killer will be brought to justice. At marriage counseling, Fisk and Vanessa discuss her affair with Adam and Glenn privately asks Vanessa if she feels safe around Fisk. Fisk’s plan to rebuild the city’s ports faces several hurdles, including bureaucratic procedures, gang in-fighting, and his protégé Daniel Blake drunkenly leaking details to BB who reports that Fisk is a union buster. Despite his anger, Fisk decides not to fire Blake when the latter expresses his deep loyalty. Murdock investigates the site of Ayala’s murder and finds a bullet casing with the Punisher’s symbol on it. He tracks down Castle and suggests that he should take responsibility for those who are misusing the Punisher symbol. Castle calls out Murdock for not killing Dex as retribution for Nelson’s death. Later that night, Murdock practices with his Daredevil billy clubs, Fisk eats dinner next to an imprisoned Adam, and the masked serial killer Muse drains blood from a victim. Reacher (Prime Video) Out of 5 You Just Can’t Call in the ATFs Darryl: 3.91/5 Brian: 4.1/5 Episode Title: L.A. Story Director: Sam Hill Writer: Penny Cox & Cait Duffy Air Date: March 20, 2025 Summary: Neagley interrogates Costopoulos, who tells her that Quinn murdered a family when business went wrong and is about to do the same to the Beck family. Reacher and Duffy, in Los Angeles, track down a drug dealer, Darien Prado, before having sex. Reacher and Duffy intercept Darien at a club and blackmail him into cooperating. He calls Zachary to meet, only for Reacher and Duffy to betray him. Zachary meets with Neagley, at Reacher’s command, and tells her that he and his son are in danger. Quinn visits a captive Teresa. Reacher and the team discover that the weapons are being sold to Yemeni buyers and that a terrorist act will be carried out in the United States. Zachary apologizes to Richard for his wrongdoing and says he will protect him at all costs. Zachary informs Reacher of the time and place of the exchange. Duffy and Villanueva involve the ATF, much to Reacher’s reluctance. On a call with Neagley, Reacher learns the exchange is actually taking place at Zachary’s house, and the place they are at is a setup.

It's the week of Hopening Day! Patti's infield is a mess and Pottymouth is looking at the centerfield version of second base but nonetheless we have our fantasy team starting lineups ready. This week's rant is geared at the scrubbing of history in the name of the wrong definition of DEI. And maybe it took messing with Jackie Robinson *and* The Golden Girls but people are paying attention. Except that MLB is also doing some scrubbing of their own. Pottymouth thinks Ron Washington would make a great high school principal and wants to give him a shoerack. We've got some fun cup, some new City Connects, and another how the heck did this get out of committee logo design. And an 11 year old gets a payday bigger than Paul SKenes.We say, “I wouldn't get the hat but I appreciate the nod to the farmers of Wisconsin, “Soft, squishy balls in Venezuela,” and “They're making lemonade out of Georgia O'Keefe imagery.” ”Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

0:00 - Nuggets couldn't run with the Bulls last night at Ball Arena. They played hard but they got COOKED in transition. Malone was mostly satisfied with his squad, though.17:04 - The plot surrounding Dan Hurley thickens. Now the UConn Sports Information Director is trying to make an infamous video disappear from the Interwebs. We love to hate Hurley, so let's clown him a little more, shall we?37:16 - How imporant is it to be the #1 or #2 overall pick in the NFL Draft? If you're a top QB prospect, would you rather #1 to a garbage organization? Or go lower in the draft to a more stable organization but lose the "prestige" of being the top pick?

As Officer Powell attempts to frame Matt for interfering with police matters, a key witness, Nicky Torres, is pressured into recanting testimony about police misconduct. In a bold courtroom strategy, Matt reveals Hector's identity as White Tiger, shifting jury perception when officers acknowledge his past aid to law enforcement. Though Hector is acquitted, his post-trial assassination by a gunman wearing a Punisher skull emblem hints at a broader conspiracy. Meanwhile, tensions rise between Fisk and his wife, Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer), over their conflicting visions for controlling New York's underworld. Balancing legal drama with intense action, the episode explores themes of justice, corruption, and the high cost of vigilantism, setting the stage for even greater conflicts ahead.

EPISODE 77 – DETACH, LEAD, AND WIN: MASTERING LEADERSHIP UNDER PRESSURE In this episode of The JP Dinnell Podcast, JP dives into one of the most powerful yet underrated leadership skills: detachment. Whether you're leading a business, a team, or your family, the ability to step back, assess the situation, and make clear, unemotional decisions is the difference between success and failure. Drawing from his experience as a Navy SEAL, business leader, and instructor at Echelon Front, JP breaks down why most leaders struggle under pressure and how detachment is the key to overcoming stress, ego, and tunnel vision. He shares real-life stories from the battlefield, business, and training that highlight the importance of staying calm, controlling emotions, and seeing the full picture before making decisions. If you've ever found yourself reacting emotionally, making rash decisions, or feeling overwhelmed by leadership responsibilities, this episode is a wake-up call. JP lays out a step-by-step framework for mastering detachment and explains why leaders who fail to detach will always fall short.
