WWE's NXT and AEW both left something to be desired while building to important shows -- and Getting Over is here to break it down! Host Adam Silverstein opens with a brief second look at AAA TripleMania 2026 [2:35] tackling NXT [9:55], where Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair remained sidelined with La Catalina returning to confront Kelani Jordan, Mason Rook became No. 1 contender for Grayson Waller and the return of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic was announced. "The Silver King" then dives into AEW [28:40] where the Death Riders dominated on TV -- taking out Will Ospreay and Andrade El Idolo on Dynamite -- as the build to All Out remained somewhat lackluster and Mercedes Mone was declared unable to compete for the next month.

Episode 215 of Wrestling Tonight begins with the increasingly strange situation surrounding WWE and AAA Worlds Collide, which takes place September 26 in the Chicago market on the same night as AEW All Out. Fightful Select reported that WWE did not have broadcast plans listed internally as of Wednesday, despite a card featuring CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, Penta, Rey Fenix, Dominik Mysterio, Roxanne Perez and talent from WWE, NXT and AAA. That raises a bigger question than simply where the show can be watched. WWE created all the optics of direct counterprogramming by running the Allstate Arena while AEW runs All Out at the NOW Arena, yet nine days before the event there still isn't a confirmed live broadcast. We discuss whether WWE could potentially be reducing the scope of the head-to-head, while making clear there has been no reporting that WWE changed its plans because of AEW. There is also speculation that Worlds Collide footage could eventually surface on Club WWE, similar to the Stephanie Vaquer vs. Liv Morgan title match. Nothing has been confirmed, but if WWE ultimately uses Worlds Collide as exclusive or delayed content, it creates a completely different discussion about what WWE wants this event to accomplish. Is September 26 primarily about competing with AEW in Chicago, or could WWE see greater value in using desirable crossover content to make Club WWE more important? We look at that potential tradeoff and why the eventual distribution decision could completely change how this event is viewed. Elsewhere, Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling has a new Women's Champion. Priscilla Kelly defeated Gisele Shaw to end Shaw's reign of more than a year, with the title change airing only days after Shaw's exclusive NWA contract was announced. Shaw is already the NWA Women's Television Champion and has identified the NWA Women's World Championship as her next goal, while Priscilla Kelly immediately moves into a prominent position for MLP and will defend against Nikki Storm at Northern Rising on October 3. AEW All Out continues to take shape with Kazuchika Okada defending the AEW International Championship against Tommaso Ciampa in a fresh Psycho Killer vs. Rainmaker matchup. Rather than allowing Tommaso Ciampa to float around the roster after his arrival, AEW is immediately putting him opposite Kazuchika Okada in exactly the type of matchup that demonstrates the value of adding another experienced wrestler to an already deep roster. Hangman Page, Bandido and Brody King have also earned an AEW Trios Championship opportunity, but they won't know their opponents until Swerve Strickland and The New Level defend against The Demand on the final Dynamite before All Out. Darby Allin and Steven Borden will face Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight in an eliminator to determine the next challengers for whoever leaves Chicago with the AEW World Tag Team Championships. We discuss why AEW having championship stories moving both into and beyond All Out makes the surrounding television matter. Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley headlines an increasingly loaded Chicago card, while Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defend against FTR and The Young Bucks in a three-way ladder match, and Brawling Birds defend the AEW Women's Tag Team Championships against Divine Dominion in a Chicago Street Fight. The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is also officially returning after a two-year absence, this time with an expanded 14-team field featuring talent from NXT, AAA, Evolve, Raw and SmackDown. NXT Tag Team Champions Vanity Project, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes, and AAA Tag Team Champions El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno have been confirmed and will receive first-round byes, while Julius Creed and Brutus Creed are also officially part of the tournament. We look at why the cross-brand format gives WWE an opportunity to make this Dusty Classic feel different from previous versions and why the eventual bracket needs to take advantage of the talent available. With eleven teams still to be announced, WWE has enough room to create genuinely different matchups rather than making this another mostly NXT tournament with a handful of outside appearances. NXT also has a new number one contender as Mason Rook defeated Tony D'Angelo and Saquon Shugars to earn the next shot at NXT Champion Grayson Waller. Tristan Angels pulled the referee out of the ring during a Saquon Shugars nearfall before Tony D'Angelo's back gave out while attempting Dead to Rights, allowing Mason Rook to capitalize with a top-rope splash and secure the victory. Grayson Waller confronted Mason Rook to close NXT, setting the stage for the next championship program. We discuss why the physical contrast gives NXT a simple story to work with and why Mason Rook doesn't need to become Grayson Waller's equal on the microphone. He needs to become the massive problem standing between Grayson Waller and keeping his championship. Because Mason Rook is big, he's bad, and he'll body slam your dad. Plus, we look ahead to another loaded week across wrestling as the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic begins on NXT, Swerve Strickland and The New Level defend the AEW Trios Championships against The Demand on Dynamite, Moose puts his career on the line against Frankie Kazarian on TNA Impact, Money in the Bank qualifying continues on SmackDown and Andrade El Idolo defends the AEW National Championship against Daniel Garcia on Collision. We also preview the major events coming up on the calendar, including AEW All Out and WWE & AAA Worlds Collide on September 26, NJPW Destruction in Kobe on September 27, WWE Money in the Bank on October 10, TNA Bound for Glory on October 11, CMLL/RevPro FantasticaMania UK and AEW WrestleDream on October 17, AAA Heroes Inmortales on October 24 and NXT Halloween Havoc on October 31. Episode 215 covers a week where the biggest story might be an event we still don't know how we're watching. WWE spent months creating the perception of a fight with AEW on September 26, but the lack of a confirmed Worlds Collide live broadcast raises legitimate questions about what WWE actually wants the event to accomplish. Add a loaded All Out card, Tommaso Ciampa going directly after Kazuchika Okada, Priscilla Kelly becoming MLP Women's Champion, the return of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and Mason Rook emerging as Grayson Waller's next challenger, and there is plenty to break down across WWE, AEW, NXT, MLP and the rest of the wrestling world.

Welcome to another episode of Perspective Checks where I sit down with friends and folks from the TTRPG world and discuss what they love about this wonderful hobby!   This month's episode is with the incomparable SuperDillin, host of One Shot Podcast as well as one half of Dorkspawn, the video game book club podcast! Oh and he also recently cowrote the newest addition of the Ultimate Roleplaying Series - The Ultimate RPG Villain Backstory Guide with James D'Amato. Besides being just very cool, Dillin plays a lot of games over on One Shot and appearing elsewhere as an AP icon, and we talk about games as a hobby, a community, and a preferred vehicle for exploring all things about the human experiences.   This chat is honestly mostly just me gushing over all the cool things Dillin is involved with, but we do talk about some really interesting things in the world of tabletop games from the intentionality and creativity of indie games, the "everyone's hot and nobody's horny" problem that drives Dillin to encourage sexuality and romance heavily in his games, and more.    Here's a list of some (hopefully most) of the things we talked about in this episode: Rom Com Drama Bomb by More Blueberries (Elliot Davis) Be/Hold - TTRPG Music Voices in the Wood by Tales Yet Told DIE RPG by Kieron Gillon/Rowan, Rook, & Decard RPG Major Podcast Perils & Princesses by Outrider Creative Force of Extinction by 12 Sided Studios Hinterlight by Tyler Lamb Stewpot by Takuma Okada The Last Smile in Sunder City by Luke Arnold A Land Once Magic by Viditya Voleti Campanions by Spilled Coffee Creatives   ----more----   Join the DMs After Dark Discord channel!   I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep.

Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/Folks, NXT delivered one segment that completely changed the game and a bunch of other stuff mixed in, and nobody breaks it down more honestly than I do, believe me.We opened with the NXT Women's Championship — Kelani Jordan defending against Jaida Parker. Parker hit her drop attack, did some nice high-stepping, but Jordan trapped her in the corner and hit a beautiful split-legged moonsault for the clean three count. Fun opener, folks. The second the bell rang, Wren Sinclair sprinted down with a kendo stick and just went to work on Jordan, taking out the referee in the process. Statement made.The Creed Brothers returned and looked tremendous, beating Romeo Moreno & Noam Dar in a damn good tag match — Julius clotheslined Moreno, then he and Brutus hit a big double slam for the win. Great to have them back, folks.Then we got the best segment of the night. Charlie Dempsey grabbed a mic and cut a genuinely compelling promo — underappreciated, never sold out, the best grappler in the whole company, sick of being made a joke while the office turns football players into stars. All true, folks. Then he inexplicably invited Zilla Fatu to join Birthright AGAIN. Fatu came out, admitted most of what Dempsey said was true, said he lives in his father's shadow — but he's not one of the ones, he's THE one, and turned them down flat. Birthright jumped him four-on-one, Fatu fought like hell until Lexis King cracked him with a chair, and they dropped him straight through the announce table. Dempsey ripped his shirt off for good measure. This made Birthright infinitely more interesting, folks.Jackson Drake retained the North American Title over Tavion Heights with a stiff knee and a 450 — fun match, and afterward Myles Borne walked in through the crowd and got the stink eye from Heights. Trouble brewing.Zaria bragged about eliminating Sol Ruca and called her Heatwave win her "redemption" — careful, Zaria, that's AEW's word! Izzi Dame interrupted calling her fake, Thea Hail showed up wanting her shot, and it all ended with Hail slapping on an armbar and busting out a full Ultimate Warrior impression, tassels included. Lame segment, folks.Main event: Tony D'Angelo, Mason Rook & Saquon Shugars beat EK Prosper, Cruz Montana & Keanu Carver after D'Angelo speared and chokeslammed Prosper, and Rook finished him with a cannonball off his shoulders. That trio now heads to a triple threat for a shot at Grayson Waller. Fun main event, folks.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and tell me — who wins that triple threat and faces Waller?Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production

Real estate brokers rarely struggle because they lack tools. The harder problem is keeping track of too many moving pieces at once. Pedro has a name for that pressure: “cognitive fog.” It's the mental load created by client messages, market changes, contingency dates, expectations, emails, texts, and follow-ups competing for attention.Pedro has spent roughly 25 years in enterprise software, working as an engineer, product manager, and business development leader before helping lead a company through a private equity acquisition. He's also a licensed real estate broker. Those two parts of his career now meet in Blue Rook, an artificial intelligence layer he's building specifically for listing agents.Real estate came later, even though Pedro says Chicago gave him an early appreciation for it. After meeting Pamela, who was already a real estate broker, the two launched their own brokerage and he became a broker within the organization. The work gave him a close view of what agents manage behind the scenes while serving buyers and sellers through high-stakes transactions.That experience shaped the problem Blue Rook is designed to solve. Pedro conducted dozens of problem discovery workshops with brokers and kept hearing versions of the same issue. “We have dozens of open loops on our mind,” he said. The strongest agents can feel that pressure most because they often carry the largest number of active responsibilities.Pedro's response is deliberately different from the usual software pitch. Blue Rook works through text instead of asking an agent to learn another app, dashboard, or login. “The aim is that it knows your business, and it reaches out when something matters,” he said. The goal is to keep the agent inside the workflow they already use while the intelligence runs behind the scenes.One example from Blue Rook's lab shows how that could work. A buyer's agent sends an email asking for more time to secure financing. Instead of forcing the listing agent to remember every related deadline, Blue Rook could flag that the financing contingency is four days away and that the seller's attorney hasn't been copied. The broker still makes the decision. The technology is meant to assemble the context before the broker has to hunt for it.That distinction is useful far beyond real estate. When you're evaluating AI for your own business, start by asking where information gets fragmented and where your team repeatedly stops to search, remember, or follow up. Then look for tools that reduce those steps inside your existing workflow. Pedro's first-principles approach is less about automating one task and more about understanding what the professional actually needs in the moment.He also offers a simpler lesson for newer agents: start small. Pedro believes a new broker can lose focus by chasing lead generation, marketing, and growth before learning how to serve a few clients extremely well. His advice is to focus on a manageable number of customers, learn the work closely, and build from there. That same discipline applies to sales professionals, founders, and creators who are tempted to scale before their service system is ready.Pedro and Pamela have intentionally kept their brokerage boutique, serving friends, family, and close colleagues because of the attention each client requires. Blue Rook is partly an attempt to expand capacity without losing that level of care. Pedro describes the ambition as having technology watch each transaction and customer continuously, then bring the broker in when human judgment is needed.The broader business opportunity sits in that handoff between machine awareness and professional expertise. Blue Rook isn't positioned as a CRM, transaction-management system, or marketing tool. Pedro describes it as a layer across those systems that can cross-reference information and surface what deserves attention. For professionals already buried in software, that design choice may be as important as the AI itself.Blue Rook is beginning with a small, selective early group of brokers in Chicago, where Pedro was born and raised. His longer-term goal is national expansion after the company learns from its first users and strengthens the product. That makes the early stage less about broad adoption and more about proving that an AI assistant can understand the work well enough to become useful without becoming another thing to manage.Pedro's clearest idea is also the most transferable: “We're doers. We're go-getters.” Good business technology should respect that reality. If a tool can reduce the digging, reconnect scattered information, and return time to client work, you gain more room to sell, serve, build relationships, and grow with control.

The party meets with Mamba's coachman who clues them in on the ethics of The Twelvefold Reach. Later, Rook makes a new friend.

In this episode, we head back to basics with a late 80s flick. Jason's pick serves up a surprisingly underrated genre blender worthy of our show's title. It's a crime film. It's a thriller. Then it swerves into a pretty epic wilderness survival adventure. All that and more! So join us as we check out Roger Spottiswoode's Shoot to Kill from 1988.

In ep 185 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Magnus Rook joins Sam and Mark to talk about how a cold read is sometimes impossible, because you need to know what's coming next in order to structure the delivery. We approach a charity script with some conversational levity, but without throwing away the main points, and discover that some people work in very different ways. We also ask is it ever worth breaking a script down line by line, and do you build a list, or give each item a slightly different flavour? Oh, then there's the whole debate about the abbreviation "i.e."!! Obsessions are to do with summer and the heat... and we hear a story of a double-decker nightmare!Our VO question this week is all about how doing other things apart from voice acting can really bring a boost to your VA career.Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1Did you know that everyone on the planet is just six social connections away from each other? Community-based volunteers are the social glue between individuals, groups and organisations. They boost community cohesion, bond people together and bridge differences. Within any community 20% of people are great at getting things done. Volunteers are ordinary people but they can achieve extraordinary things. Their super talents are simple: practical skills, local knowledge, common sense, familiarity with different situations, a myriad of contacts - and the ability to discover the stories and traditions that make a community special.Script 2The seminal example, of course, is using bow wow to mean a dog and not just to imitate a dog's barking, providing the impetus for the theory's moniker. In a somewhat similar vein, the pooh-pooh theory hypothesized that language evolved from the interjections (ah!) and emotional cries humans made, like the primordial grunt that still escapes when you painfully stub your toe. Müller's own idea was that sounds themselves carried intrinsic meaning, like a low-¬pitched sound giving off a sense of something big, i.e., as in a blob (low vowel) compared to the smaller sounding bleeb (high vowel).We'd love your feedback - and if you listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, hit the follow button today!**Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Magnus Rook is a German actor and voice actor based in London. 98% of his work is in German, but he's branching out more into the English language market these days.

Start earlier than you think: why proactive quality and regulatory planning can save medtech companies time, money, and costly remediation. In this episode, Joseph McGonnigal, Account Manager at Rook Quality Systems, discusses how medtech companies can build stronger quality management systems and better prepare for regulatory submissions. He explains how AI can help teams lay the foundation for high-quality documentation, while emphasizing that experienced professionals remain essential to review outputs, address technical details, and ensure compliance. Joseph also explores the growing regulatory complexity surrounding software-as-a-medical-device, AI-enabled technologies, and de novo submissions. Finally, he shares why startups should document decisions early, establish quality processes from the outset, and avoid waiting until regulatory issues become costly problems. Tune in to learn how early documentation, expert guidance, and proactive quality management can help medtech companies move toward regulatory approval with greater confidence!

Many chess blunders aren't caused by poor calculation - they're caused by visual blind spots. In this episode, we explore why certain types of moves consistently escape our attention, how those blind spots lead to missed tactics and costly mistakes, and what you can do to start seeing more of the board.

Shannon Simmons just won the national championship in women's pole vault for the 50 to 54-year-old Masters division. She took 20 years off from the sport. Came back two and a half years ago. And won. But this conversation isn't really about pole vaulting. It's about what happens when you come back to something you thought was behind you. What it takes. What it makes possible. And why the thing you put down might still be waiting for you. Shannon is one of my clients and one of my Ohio people — and I was lucky enough to be on the track with her and her daughter the weekend before nationals. I photographed them together. Her daughter is now learning to pole vault. Shannon looked at the photos and cried because she could see her daughter looking at her in a way she doesn't get to see on the day-to-day. 3 Things You'll Take Away: Your past is a blueprint, not a dead end. The skills, discipline, and depth you built doing one thing — pole vaulting, parenting, building a business — are transferable to everything else. Shannon calls it the blueprint. This conversation shows you exactly what that looks like in practice.Being in a different place than everyone else doesn't mean you're behind. Sometimes you're just doing something different. Or ahead. This episode has a Tour de France metaphor that will reframe how you see your own path.Coming back to something you loved is its own kind of winning. Shannon didn't pick up a new sport. She came back to the one that lit her up — and it became the thread that pulled everything else together. Her kids, her marriage, her identity. One reclaimed passion. Everything else followed.

Rook confirms the prisoners of the camp, reads some lips and lets it rip.

Do you have an Apple watch? Fitbit? Oura ring? Woop? Wearables have taken over in the past decade with claims that by constantly monitoring our heart rate, sleep, respiration, and activity, they can provide health data that can change your life. But is that really possible? Or even plausible? Marco Benitez, former professional athlete, and the Founder and CEO of ROOK joins us on the Living Well series today to talk all things wearables. He sees tremendous potential with how the data these tools compile can be utilized across all aspects of our lives, including in our cars (!), to change our behavior. But he acknowledges there's a catch. Many of these companies use the data collected not for YOUR benefit, but for theirs, and real change, well, there's no magic bullet. It's hard, takes time, and is all on you. Raised in Mexico with an insatiable curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit, Marco Benitez built his career at the intersection of health, technology, and sports science. Starting as a Tae Kwon Do champion, Marco's discipline and resilience guided him into biomedical engineering, then into high-stakes roles in pharmaceutical giants like Roche and Novartis. Here, he witnessed the transformative power of data in healthcare—and saw a profound opportunity to make health metrics more accessible and actionable. Determined to improve health management and bridge the gap between raw data and real impact, Marco co-founded ROOK.

Good things are happening for the people I love most right now and I feel so many different emotions. My son just left for a new job out of state. A dear friend is buying a house and moving to North Carolina and though I am genuinely thrilled for each of them…I also noticed my heart ache with the missing of them just thinking about them leaving.  Turns out what I really want is for them to go off and live their best lives but also do that from my basement/town  and be upstairs/over for dinner.  Good thing last week I did an episode about changing the lens on our lives lol.   So I've been feeling funny, a little off all week. Sort of fragile. It's the grief. Living underneath it all, amongst the change..even when it's really wonderful change, which it usually is. Most of us just never learned to look for it there. This one's for anyone who's been feeling a little off and couldn't quite say why. 3 Things You'll Take Away: Even good change has grief in it. The anxiety, the edginess, the feeling of being off is grief. Naming it changes how you relate to it.The thing you're avoiding feeling is running your behavior. So much of our weird behavior traces back to a door we don't want to open (because feeling it means feeling it.) But the door doesn't disappear just because you closed it.Check in with four parts of yourself: Body, mind, heart, soul. Each one needs something different right now. A hard workout. A good cry. Pizza with a friend. A poem. Asking separately what each part needs is a real practice — and it's something you can do today. ✨ Have something circling the drain of your brain and heart?

Before the potential Prime Minister has even taken up office, a draft letter has been written for Andy Burnham asking him to appoint as many women as men in his government. It's from the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and asks for change to address the toxicity and misogyny within the Labour party and government. Political correspondent Nick Eardley discusses the letter and its context with Chloe Tilley. What happens when you're worried about your child's mental health, but help is months or even years away? A new report by the Children's Commissioner for England paints a stark picture of growing demand and long waits. Referrals have almost doubled since 2018, with more than a million children now in contact with services. Professor Jessica Deighton from the Anna Freud Centre discusses what it means for children and families. And Emma Kluibenschadl tells us how her 15 year old son took his life after being refused help for his mental health problems.Amanda Wakeley OBE is a self-taught fashion designer. Her designs are much loved by the Royal Family and she's known for her timeless British womenswear. She joins Chloe today to discuss her new book, Style DNA, in which she encourages women to spend time reflecting on their autobiographical relationship with their clothes. In understanding how our lives shape how we dress, Amanda hopes to give women the tools to work out who they are so their style sits in harmony with their sense of self, and how they'd like to position themselves in the world.Annabel Rook dedicated her life to supporting vulnerable women, yet her own life was violently taken by her partner. In June last year, at their home, Clifton George attacked her, attempting to strangle her before stabbing her 31 times after she had tried to end their relationship of more than ten years. He then caused an explosion at the property. Annabel co-founded MamaSuze, a creative grassroots arts organisation in North London to enhance the lives of women who have survived violence. Her co-founder, Catherine Milne, wrote a moving article about the death of her best friend, how she tried to support her, and the question of whether she could have done more. Her and Annabel's sister Sophie discuss Annabel's impact and what people can learn from their loss.Presenter: Chloe Tilley Producer: Melanie Abbott

House of the Dragon Season 3 just flipped the entire war — Chanel & Brandon recap the episode where Rhaenyra finally sits the Iron Throne.

This week I'm bringing you something I'm actually doing with clients right now — because what's the point of getting on here and talking about transformation if I'm not living it and working it in real time? The topic is the lens through which you're seeing your life. Not just your own lens. The lens other people put on you. The parent who had decades of criticism on tap. The voice you internalized from someone who maybe didn't even know they were handing you a pair of dirty glasses. And the way that lens — scratched up, clouded, dropped in something you'd rather not think about — is quietly running the show while you wonder why things look the way they do. Here's what I know after years of doing this work. You are always looking through a lens. The question is whether you know which one you have on. And if you do — you can swap it out. 3 Things You'll Take Away: How to identify the lens you're currently looking through. Robyn gives you the actual homework she assigns her clients — a simple exercise with a piece of paper and a circle that tells you more about how you're running your life than most things you could do in 10 minutes.Where your lens came from and why it's still on.
