When the enemy is inside you — or beside you. This week on the podcast, We're talking Alien: Earth eps 6 & 7 (flies, hybrids, and chestbursters) and Dark Wolf eps 5 & 6 (betrayals & Shepherd reveals). Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Alien: Earth: 5:31 The Terminal List: Dark Wolf: 51:00 Alien: Earth (FX/Hulu) Episode 6 — “The Fly” Writer(s): Noah Hawley & Lisa Long Director: Ugla Hauksdóttir Original Air Date: September 9, 2025 Summary: 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. Rating Out of 5 Facehuggers Are Not a Good Severance Package Darryl: 3.5/5 Brian: 3.5/5 Episode 7 — “Emergence” Writer(s): Noah Hawley & Maria Melnik Director: Dana Gonzales Original Air Date: September 16, 2025 Summary: 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 Xenomorph, 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 facehugger 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.

She insists Mossad didn’t plan the attack and her and Varon’s real mission is to investigate Haverford, who they believe is being manipulated by Shepherd. The two are attacked by a Farsi speaking tactical team, who Perash believes was sent by Shepherd, but escape after an intense gunfight. Whilst recovering in a safe house, Perash tells Edwards she never intended to kill him, even if her mission demanded it. Varon hacks the secure portal used by Haverford to communicate with Shepherd, tracing it to an apartment in Munich. She is attacked by the occupant, but eventually kills him and leaves with his laptop. Hastings tortures an operative captured from the convoy, who before dying reveals he is not Khalid Network but BND and the subsequent attackers were not affiliated with German intelligence. Hastings is distraught upon hearing this, unsuccessfully attempting to save the man. Edwards and Perash leave Zurich rendezvous with the team, but are attacked by a pair of assassins who kill the latter with a bomb. Edwards kills both men, and recovers a bracelet made by her daughter from Perash’s body before fleeing the scene. Rating Out of 5 Torturing Allies Is Actually a Bad Thing Darryl: 3.75/5 Brian: 3.8/5 Episode 6 — “Pawns & Kings” Writer(s): Jared Shaw & Max Adams Director: Paul Cameron Original Air Date: (September 17, 2025) Summary: Cyrus assures Saedi he will have the bearings the following day. Saedi criticises Vahid’s enamoration with the West. Edwards reunites with the team in Stein. Hastings confirms the bearings they retrieved are also fakes. Haverford admits Shepherd played them to stop the BND’s own disruption operation. He states Vahid Rahimi, now in custody, is Shepherd, and ordered the team killed in a panic to cover his own tracks, fearing Saedi would discover his actions. Haverford forces Vahid to confirm the bearings exchange point with Cyrus, then executes him. Mossad tells Varon Haverford terminated Shepherd, but she analyses the laptop and sees further portal activity after Vahid’s execution. Hastings, disillusioned with their actions, fails to convince Edwards to walk away with him. Farooq, Landry and Edwards, impersonating KN couriers, meet Saedi at an airstrip. He tests the bearings, which are revealed to be genuine. Haverford is shown to be working with Cyrus, the real Shepherd. By having the bearings deal proceed, Cyrus can made Foreign Minister, replace hardliner Saedi and improve Iranian-Western relations as a CIA plant. Varon sends proof of this to the team, prompting them to attack Saedi’s plane before it departs, killing him and his Quds Force bodyguards and retrieving the bearings. Haverford reports the team as rogue traitors to the CIA Director to cover his own back. Reuniting with Varon, they prepare to prove Haverford’s treachery.

Today, Michael speaks with Anita Moorjani. Anita is a renowned author and spiritual speaker known for her transformative journey beyond the brink of death. While living in Hong Kong, Anita battled end-stage cancer before experiencing a remarkable near-death experience, or NDE, that shifted her perspective on life. Her bestselling memoir, "Dying to Be Me," chronicles her profound journey and miraculous healing. Anita travels the world sharing her insights on self-love, consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all things. Her teachings empower others to embody the highest version of themselves and live vibrant, authentic lives. Anita's new book, “Sensitive is the New Strong,” is out now. Conversation highlights include:  -Anita's near-death experience: the freedom from pain, the absence of fear, and the deep clarity that revealed how her life choices shaped her illness -Her turbulent relationship with her father and the weight of cultural traditions that led to a life-changing act of defiance that shaped her path and healing -Reuniting with her father on the other side in unconditional love, seeing glimpses of her future mission, and facing the decision to return to physical life -Waking up from her coma, against all odds, accurately recalling conversations she “shouldn't” have heard, and beginning her stunning physical recovery -How a simple online post about her NDE caught the attention of Dr. Jeffrey Long—and then Wayne Dyer—setting Anita's public mission into motion -How illness often begins at the soul level, why fear fuels disease, and how choosing joy, love, and purpose can reverse one's life trajectory -Shifting from “remission” to “remember my mission,” Anita reframes healing and explains why letting go—rather than holding onto resentment—sets you free -Why true transformation comes from communion with the soul, not just treating symptoms, and how this deeper work sustains physical and spiritual wellness Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation to open the heart and mind to the ever-present blessings of the Universe.

Reuniting after more than a decade since their days in This Week in Asia Podcast from 2009, Michael Smith Jr., co-host of The Generalist podcast, and Daniel Cerventus Lim, semi-retired entrepreneur and community builder in Malaysia, join us for a candid assessment of Southeast Asia's tech ecosystem evolution. In this raw conversation, Michael offers his unflinching perspective on what he calls the 'broken windows era' of Southeast Asian tech, arguing that recent alleged fraud cases like E-Fishery and Tanihub require serious consequences to restore investor confidence, while questioning whether the region was ever correctly modelled for Silicon Valley-style outcomes. Daniel shares his pivot from startup founder to search fund advocate, explaining his bullish view on acquiring profitable traditional businesses and reflects on whether the region's potential was genuinely unrealized or simply impossible to achieve. Together, they explore the shift from venture-backed unicorn dreams to bootstrap realities, debate work ethic of Southeast Asia founders in comparison with Chinese and Indian founders, and discuss why the future of Southeast Asian tech may lie in smaller, profitable exits rather than the massive IPOs once envisioned. "I think wealth creation here is very SME-focused." - Daniel Cerventus Lim "Basically whether, it's SME or startup, to me now it's just: can you build a profitable business?" - Bernard Leong "I have this philosophy that I think people don't agree with me, but we're in a broken Windows era of Southeast Asia and the only way in my opinion, the windows get fixed is if some of these people are behind bars." - Michael Smith Jr. Episode Highlights: [00:00] Quote of the Day by Daniel Cerventus, Bernard Leong & Michael Smith JR [00:59] Introduction: Daniel Cerventus and Michael Smith Jr. from the Generalists Podcast [06:00] Multiple alleged frauds in Southeast Asia: E-Fishery, Tanihub [09:57] Southeast Asia in "broken windows era" [11:26] Only exits from seed to Series A [11:47] B rounds virtually gone, A rounds endangered.

Kristin also tells me about reuniting with Scarlett Johansson as her on-screen daughter for the third time, and why Robert Altman's “Gosford Park” set was both thrilling and intimidating. This episode was recorded at La Mercerie in SoHo, New York City. Want next week's episode now? Subscribe to Dinner's on Me PLUS.

Reuniting the Titanic team of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet (not to mention Kathy Bates) was something audiences had wanted for more than a decade. Maybe they didn't expect another doomed romance that was also bleak and sad. Revolutionary Road is about middle-class ennui, quiet desperation and the cruelty of hope. And the stars are terrific playing unextraordinary people yearning for something else, even if everybody keeps poo-pooing their plan to move to Paris. Director Sam Mendes' movie was a disappointment at the box office and it didn't get a wealth of Oscar nominations either. The film ages well though...maybe more if you're a certain age. Ryan's solo show talks about how a 50+-year-old can relate better to the themes than his 34-year-old self could. The flick isn't fun, but it's very well done...and Winslet has rarely been better. So before your wife screams at you to leave her alone during a vicious argument, pour yet another glass of alcohol as you drink in the 681st episode here on Have You Ever Seen.

Reuniting where they first met 15 years ago, Ben is delighted to have Courtney back on NCR once more for this episode, catching up on what's happened for her this year and what she currently has in the works as she rejoined the tour this month. We discuss the end of Courtney's time at the WTA, what she's been doing in the months since, and how she got started with the new project she's been working on: a revival or reinvention of Forty Deuce. Related to what used to be and what is, we also talk a lot about how the media landscapes in which we operate have shifted since we first met, what's been lost over time, and what we hope can be rebuilt. And speaking of rebuilding, we also marvel at the radically renovated Cincinnati Open, which pulled off a stunning transformation since last year. Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D. And please check out Ben's new writing home, Bounces! And Courtney's work at Forty Deuce!

Meet Tim,Who met his Mexican wife at work in the US, at the time none spoke each other's language, but still they pushed through one word at the time. His wife, who already had children back in Mexico, had to go back to take care of them, and that's when their 18 year long distance relationship started, with children that he did not see grow up. During those 18 years, Tim managed to go visit her in Mexico 3 times, this by walking, yes walking across the US, until he eventually moved full time to Acapulco a year ago. He's now discovered a completely different life, far from the confort and safety he knew in the US but will finally be present throughout his newborn's life.His recommendations:Sharon's Renacimento location https://www.sharons.mx/Song: El Pipazo de la Simon Bolivarhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=rX3ZgGhbEDc&si=1WKggaJedu1kKl3L Website: www.familyreunitenetwork.comAmazon Book: https://a.co/d/5TLZyhuInstagram: @familyreuniteFacebook: @tscottfamilyreuniteTiktok: @familyreuniteYoutube: @familyreuniteTo support the podcast: https://en.tipeee.com/meet-the-expatsHosted by Ausha.

You've arrived at the threshold of the between space - that shimmering quantum field where every possibility you've ever imagined and a trillion more you haven't are dancing together in perfect potential. Right now, as you're reading these words, you already know what it feels like to be completely whole. Your body remembers it, even if your mind has forgotten. There's something stirring in your cells, isn't there? A recognition. A whisper of remembrance. You see, your soul has been playing the most elaborate game of hide and seek with itself across dimensions, lifetimes, and realities. And today... today is the day the game ends. Not because you've been searching, but because you've finally stopped running from what you've always been.This isn't meditation where you quiet your mind. This isn't hypnosis where you go somewhere else. This is remembering. This is coming home to the cosmic truth that's been pulsing in your DNA since before time learned how to count. And I wonder... I wonder how quickly you'll recognize the fragments that have been waiting for you in the labyrinth of your own soul. Some might surprise you with how familiar they feel. Others might shock you with how powerful they've become in your absence. But all of them... every single one... has been calling your name in frequencies only your heart could hear. You already know this is going to change everything. You can feel it, can't you? That electric anticipation humming just beneath your awareness. That's not excitement about what's coming - that's recognition of what's already here, already true, already you. The labyrinth exists in the space between your heartbeats, in the pause between your thoughts, in the infinite moment between who you think you are and who you've always been. And the beautiful thing about labyrinths? Unlike mazes designed to confuse you, labyrinths are designed to lead you exactly where you need to go. Your soul fragments aren't lost. They're not broken. They're not hiding from you. They're waiting for you to remember you had the power to call them home all along.

When our loved ones  die and  leave their  physical bodies, where do they go, and what do they actually do there? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau takes us on a fascinating journey into the afterlife, answering those big questions many of us have about what happens when we leave our physical bodies. She explains that as we transition, we may feel things like moving through a warm tunnel or being pulled toward a bright light. There's no fear, just peace and comfort. It's almost like a soothing experience that's uniquely tailored to each of us. Susan dives into the idea of a "life review," where we get to reflect on our actions, but without judgment. It's all about learning, not punishment. She also talks about the concept of a soul family, those we're deeply connected to, both in this life and beyond. And then there are the guides and higher beings, like angels, who are there to support us through the process. She also touches on how our souls continue to grow and evolve, even after we pass on. Whether it's experiencing something new or revisiting old lessons, there's always more to learn. The episode wraps up with a beautiful reminder that we're never truly alone, even after we cross over. It's all about love, connection, and the ongoing journey of our souls.

Captain Jeffery Tulley returns to the Netherlands to take command of the Invenios, a revolutionary research vessel built for adventure and discovery. Reuniting with his longtime friend and First Mate Oberlin St. Claire, Tulley finds himself eager to embark on their maiden voyage—and perhaps chase the legendary wreck of the Highland Rose. As the crew welcomes system engineer Dr. Abigail Eventon, whose groundbreaking Trident Drive gives the Invenios unprecedented speed on the open sea, tensions arise over Tulley's ambitious plans. Oberlin urges caution with their still-untested vessel, but Tulley's determination to chase glory before their equipment is fully assembled threatens to put the ship at risk before they've even left port.

In one of the most raw and revealing Pivot Podcasts to date, Kirk sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred to open up about the deeply personal battles he's faced behind the spotlight. Known for his musical influence, Kirk shows a different side here—one marked by pain, healing, and redemption.

The guys are able to get him to let his guard down, turn heavy moments light and provide a safe space as the conversation transcends into identity, family, and finding purpose not just through success, but through surrender. In this moving episode, Kirk opens up about: The art of writing hope: Exploring how music becomes a vessel for healing—both for himself and the world. Faith through the fire: Navigating personal struggles, spiritual seasons, and finding renewal in the midst of chaos. The scars of a turbulent upbringing – and how trauma shaped his views on love, trust, and self-worth. Faith when it's messy – how he wrestled with God during his darkest moments and found peace on the other side. Reuniting with the father he never knew – and the emotional toll of reconciling decades of abandonment. Fatherhood and forgiveness – breaking the cycle for his own children and choosing healing over bitterness. Leading with authenticity: What it means to shepherd a movement when you're also the one being led. With profound vulnerability and trademark energy, Kirk Franklin shares stories of redemption, breakthrough, and creative inspiration.
