Send us a textA research ship crashes where no one is supposed to look, a cyborg refuses to quit after 65 years in the dark, and a billionaire prodigy turns dying children into something new. We dive into Alien: Earth season one with fresh eyes, unpacking how five corporations quietly replaced governments and why a hushed catastrophe on an island could plausibly vanish from public record. The tension isn't just xenomorphs; it's power, secrecy, and the dangerous confidence of people who think they can outsmart biology.We get personal about the tech and the ethics. Mr. Morrow's brutal focus makes cyborgs feel older and meaner than the synthetics we know, while hybrids—children's minds in synthetic bodies—force real questions about identity and consent. The Peter Pan motif reframes it all: Boy Kavalier as a twisted Peter who won't let his “lost boys” grow, and Wendy as the caretaker they choose for themselves. That angle turns set pieces into stakes. We talk Kirsh quoting Asimov's first law, then sidestepping it by redefining who counts as human; Slightly's coerced choices and Arthur's heartbreaking fate; and how canon threads might actually strengthen the corporate motive behind the Nostromo's detour.Then the world gets bigger and stranger. We break down mineral-eating organisms, a carnivorous plant that swallows victims whole, and the Eye—a sentient parasite that puppets hosts and changes the battlefield. Wendy's escalating abilities and uncanny bond with a xenomorph push the envelope, but they also highlight an old Alien truth: the tools you build to control life end up controlling you. By the finale, the power players are caged, the kids claim their names, and the island keeps its secrets. If you love sharp worldbuilding, messy ethics, and bold swings that spark debate, this is the conversation you'll want in your queue.Loved the breakdown?

当快节奏、高压力的都市生活几乎将我们耗尽，一种名为“慢生活”的理想，正通过社交媒体悄然占领我们的视野。从濑户内海的艺术小岛，到国内社交平台上的“回乡博主”，逃离似乎成了一种充满诱惑的选择。但这究竟是真实的解脱之道，还是一场叶公好龙式的自我幻觉？为什么我们一边向往，一边又被无形的锁链牢牢困在原地？这一期，我们仨从各自的疲惫与困惑出发，进行了一场关于“逃离与留下”的漫谈。我们贪恋的城市“丰富性”是什么？阻碍我们迈出那一步的，是现实的账单，还是内心的欲望？当“慢”不仅是一种地理迁移，更是一种心态选择时，我们该如何找到属于自己的平衡？时间轴：01:04 | 本期话题缘起：当主播们都“忙到飞起”，薇薇在濑户内海的“慢生活”体验引发了关于“逃离”的思考。06:06 | 三种不同的“城市坐标”：Coco从未想过离开，薇薇在“一半一半”中撕扯，而老柴是最具“逃离”潜质的思考者。06:56 | 我们为什么离不开大城市？驱动力之一是“丰富性”。10:00 | “卷”的本质是什么？老柴剖析“内卷”——并非勤奋，而是“所有人站起来看电影”式的无效努力。17:15 | 薇薇的纠结：既贪恋城市的丰富与社交，又厌恶身不由己的忙碌。如果财务自由，大家会做怎样的选择呢？22:18 | 那些真正离开的人后来怎么样了？虽然真实的样本不多，也是有从北京、到上海，再到厦门的栖息，“数字游民”的快意。30:33 | 阻碍我们离开的到底是什么？除了老人就医、子女教育等现实问题，更深层的是对“可能性”的依赖和对未知的恐惧。33:10| “可能性”的新解：乡村生活真的意味着可能性减少吗？交通便利、互联网发展正在打破城乡的绝对壁垒。41:42 | 一个真实存在20年的“慢生活”样本：Coco舅舅在怀柔荷塘20年的生活。 “向内求”与“向外求”，你怎么选。50:04 | “慢生活”不只在远方：幸福是“平衡”，是对时间的掌控感，是明确“我从哪里来，要到哪里去”。00:55:33 | 城乡变迁的宏观视角：从“乡土中国”到“城市化”，再到如今出现的“逆城市化”苗头，社会趋势如何影响个人选择？01:07:06| 终极拷问：我们讨论的不是快与慢，而是如何安放我们的“欲望”。所谓“慢生活”，本质上是对主流成功学欲望的一次重塑和校准。01:18:06 | 你想过“青史留名”吗？一个有趣的分岔讨论，关于我们从何时开始与自己的“平凡”和解。金句：如果一个人要快乐，他一定需要丰富性吗？作为一个很平凡的人，我真正成熟起来发现自己其实很平凡最近把我们互相说的话换一换，我们换成说今天你平衡了吗？……我们要的幸福是不是应该是一种平衡的幸福？本期思考：你所向往的“慢生活”，是一种地理上的迁移，还是一种心理上的平衡？此刻，什么才是你内心最真实的需求和欲望？

Massey Uni releases these numbers each year. They tell you how much you might need to retirement. In the city... two people in a house... want to live comfortably... need $1 million. $450,000 in the provinces. Now, you then start working backwards. In terms of you're net worth. Depending on your age, you may not be able to rely on the pension. Some government will eventually means test it or change the age or cut it back. It's inevitable. So there's a shortfall you're probably going to have to fill. KiwiSaver contributions need to go up. And they are. Slightly, from 3 to eventually 4%. But realistically, we'll need to be doing 10%. And I know people are doing that - who are, even in their 30s, going hard on saving and investing for this express purpose. So people are planning and working hard. Slogging their guts out. Just being responsible and making sure they can take care of themselves and their families. Which is why it smacks of entitlement that politicians live in i a different world on super. Totally different world. They get a super subsidy 2.5 times the percent they contribute from their salary, up to a maximum payment of 20 percent. RNZ reported earlier this year that a backbencher gets $170,000. 20 percent of that would be about $34,000 We get dollar-for-dollar from our employers up to 3 percent. The argument is their jobs aren't secure, so they need more security. They aren't the only ones in that situation. But they are the only ones I know of who get retirement nest egg like that.

In this episode of C-Suite Perspectives, Chief Economist Dana M. Peterson sits down with Associate Economist Allen Li to unpack the latest findings from The Conference Board Measure of CEO Confidence™ in collaboration with The Business Council. CEO confidence slipped slightly to 48 (down from 49), signaling cautious optimism among US business leaders amid ongoing tariff uncertainty and geopolitical risks.    Dana and Allen explore what's driving sentiment among Fortune 500 executives, from their views on the broader economy and their own industries to evolving workforce and investment plans. Despite a softer headline number, CEOs remain resilient — with many expecting only a mild slowdown, steady wages, and no imminent recession.    With official government data delayed due to the shutdown, this survey offers crucial real-time insights into how corporate leaders view the US economy, labor markets, and investment landscape heading into 2026.    For more on the Measure of CEO Confidence™, click through here. 

What happens when a dietitian and a PA sit down to talk about heart disease—from both sides of the exam room?In this episode, Colleen brings together two heart health experts: Michelle Routhenstein, MS, RD, CDCES, a cardiovascular dietitian known for her evidence-based prevention strategies, and Josh Wageman, PA-C, PhD, a clinical lipid specialist who's spent his career studying cholesterol disturbances and Alzheimer's.Together, they tackle one of medicine's most common (and confusing) topics—heart health. You'll hear how each expert thinks, what they prioritize, and how they talk with patients who are juggling elevated LDL, inflammation, insulin resistance, or menopause-related changes. By the end, you'll see how bridging nutrition and medicine leads to smarter, more patient-centered care—because this is how the healthcare team should work anyway. Resources:Episode 38 | Love Your Heart with MichelleEpisode 111 | HDL Good, LDL Bad with JoshEpisode 117 | The Best Diet to Lower Cholesterol with JoshConnect with MichelleBuy Josh's BookAny Questions?

成年以后，“上课”不再是应试教育下的规训，而是变成了一种兴趣投资、身份实验，甚至是中产焦虑的出口。我们开始自愿花钱走进各色课堂，花时间、花精力、花感情，去体验那些带有“人生意义”的课程：从帆船、考古、咖啡、清酒、化妆、自由潜、演讲到捆绑……这些课程，到底是深度的自我探索？还是“高级焦虑”的一种缓解？这一期，我们和返场嘉宾大飘飘一起，从“你上过最奇怪的一门课是什么”聊起，一路聊到那些上着上着你自己成了“老师”的课程。哪门课带来了命运的转折？哪门课让你当场破防？还有那种上到一半就想跑路的课……这期是一次关于自主学习的回望，也是一场关于自我认知的追问。时间轴：00:00｜大飘回归！“小飘”进阶为“大飘飘”薇薇：“飘既是我们的老师，也是一起上课的搭子”。这期聊聊我们上过的课，和上课的我们。01:49｜我们都上过哪些奇怪又好玩的课？Coco梳理出自己的“课程分类法”：从自由潜、帆船到清酒、插花、钢琴、化妆，连清酒都认真上课。薇薇感慨：“这些课的学费，有一半我都陪你花了。”03:30｜上课“成瘾”的背后，是不是从不爱学习的反差人生？飘：“我是成绩最差、天天逃课的那个。”结果现在最爱上课，还成了老师。真正改变他的，是心理学。04:30｜心理学：从应试的“二级证书”到疗愈性的深度学习“我选了超个人心理学这个流派，它尊重人的完整性，也尊重个体的独特。”还有德国的性课程、美国的人类性学，让她大开眼界。06:10｜“用身体当教具”之后，我才知道自己还做不到薇薇听完直呼：“不能把自己当教具。” 飘则强调，BDSM的课程并不只是猎奇，而是一种心理治疗的方式。09:00｜舞动课程：肢体是面镜子，照出对自我的误解“我一直以为自己很放得开，结果第一个练习我就想钻地缝。”身体的羞耻感，原来根深蒂固。12:00｜知识有了，接下来是体悟“心理学已经学得差不多了，18年之后我开始找‘体悟'。”课程也从左脑的学习走向右脑的感受。14:40｜带着羞耻去练习，才是对“自恋性格”的觉察“我们习惯用大脑学习，其实身体练习才是真正照见念头和评判的过程。”16:40｜Coco：“现代舞让我开始学会‘坍塌'”从配合到抵抗，再到放下羞耻，“我终于可以不优雅地满地打滚。”19:40｜“那些没上完的课，才最让我念念不忘”Coco回忆起现代舞课，一直没能坚持下来，但念念不忘那种坍塌与松动的身体感受。21:30｜哪些课是“没啥用但有转变”的？薇薇说：“很多课在实用主义视角下看没用，但上完你真的变了。”她提到即兴喜剧带来的松弛和自我接纳。23:00｜“也有那种交了钱就想走的课”三人坦言都有上过“特别出戏”的课，比如老师自己状态不在线、团体氛围不舒服——大飘说：“那个场域就是不对。”24:45｜其实没必要每门课都变成输出大飘：“我们太习惯立刻产出，变现、做讲座……但有些课，是为了自己活着。”也反思“把自己上成老师”的现象。26:20｜如果给你无限时间和金钱，你还会上什么课？薇薇：“我想上‘丧尸学'！《行尸走肉》的跨学科课程；”Coco：想学表演和现代诗朗读；大飘：系统性学佛法。28:35｜“成年人的学习，更像一种身份的练习”三人总结：这些课带来的，也许不是技能，而是关于“我是谁”的思考，是成人世界里重建身份、抵抗内卷的一种方式。29:40｜有些课，值得一上再上Coco说她反复回到现代舞，因为身体的松动是一个“慢得很真实”的过程。薇薇也分享自己在科学探索类课程中“上瘾般”的沉浸感。30:30｜“有些课我上不完，但我愿意一直上”大飘说有些课你永远不会成为“专家”，但它就像种子一样埋在你身体里，影响你看世界的方式。32:00｜课堂是人生的隐喻：不断学习、失败、再试薇薇：“也许我们不是在上课，我们是在练习以自己不熟悉的方式活着。”课堂是一个练习场，是认错和调整的安全空间。33:20｜上课也是对抗无聊与空虚的方式“当你不知道自己是谁、要去哪的时候，上课给你一种明确的行动感。”35:00｜成年人的“学”不是为了“会”，而是为了“动”不一定非要成为某个技能的专家，而是让身体、情绪、思维先动起来。36:40｜ “我想当个会朗读诗的漂亮姐姐”Coco：表演、朗诵这些课，是她自我身份的一种实践，哪怕从未拿来谋生。38:00｜课程如何成为人生的拐点？大飘：“我觉得我就是在某几门课上，被重塑了。”不是内容重塑，而是“我是谁”被重新理解。40:00｜三人各自的“课程关键词”薇薇：好奇与探险；Coco：感官与体验；大飘：身心整合与疗愈。42:00｜“真正重要的课，未必记得老师是谁”但你永远记得那节课上的转变、当下的热泪、那个被看见的瞬间。43:30｜最后的回望：学习是持续的告别，也是重启三人以“我们都还在路上”为结尾，为这一期课堂回顾画上句号，也为未来埋下伏笔。金句：·当我对这个知识有结构性的认知以后我就一通百通了·后来我发现就是我不想错过这个事让我人生费了很多的力气·上课的意义对你来说特别是这个人生阶段就像不像给这个种子来浇灌一些阳光雨露·我一直是一个特别相信用过、懂得的人本期书影音推荐：·《超个人心理学》张宝蕊·《八周正念之旅 The Meaningful Way Workbook》本期思考：你上过的“课”，是否曾帮你真正认识自己？有没有哪门课带来意想不到的人生转折？本期彩蛋：飘飘上过的课:1v1 咨询可以私信，@吴征大飘飘 的小红书账号虽然会学到一些知识。但是更感兴趣的是体悟。不在自己大脑思维意识范围内的，能让自己扩容，让潜意识意识化的课，向内深深的扎根，练习内在的稳定性，把知识内化成生活的一部分。喜欢跟心法相关的课。超个人心理学性爱辅导师人类性学Ciis summer school催眠课舞动课 zavika老师金惟纯老师心理学的各种课正念课教练技术拿到证书：二级心理咨询师，生殖健康咨询师，颂钵疗愈师，超个人心理学咨询师其他类课：Swing课林曦的书法国画站桩中医艺考培训表演课临终关怀培训冲浪高盛和清华办的emba佛学的课健身课小提琴化妆课

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

Ben sits down with author Giri Nathan for this episode, to go deep into his new book, Changeover, and the Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry at its focus.  This episode was recorded during the U.S. Open, but these two players remain the overwhelmingly obvious story in men's tennis, including this week as Sinner won Beijing while Alcaraz won Tokyo.  We discuss the process of writing this book--which hopefully is particularly interesting to media folks--and also the ways in which Sinner and Alcaraz's dominance might be taking suspense out of the sport right now. Slightly condensed versions of this interview are also up on Bounces.

Thanks to our partners Promotive and Wicked FileAuto shops aren't going broke because they charge too little—they're going broke because they're measuring wrong. In this episode, CPA and host Hunt Demerest unpacks the gap between what your shop management system tells you and what your financials know to be true. From the hidden drag of switching techs from flat rate to hourly to the simple tweak that makes your software reflect real costs, Hunt shows you how to surface the problem (productivity vs. pricing) and correct course—before your margins get cut in half.What you'll learn:02:20 – Expectation vs. reality: SMS shows 75% gross profit—but QuickBooks shows ~50%.04:38 – The pivot that broke the math: moving techs from flat rate to hourly + production drop.06:52 – Why unchecked hourly pay halves margins—and why it's so hard to fix later.09:12 – “Productivity” isn't just techs: counter, invoicing, parts, layout, communication.13:55 – Pricing sanity check: book time vs. your actual time; efficiency vs. productivity.16:04 – The core software issue: SMS assumes techs are only paid when you're paid.18:23 – The fix: compare SMS “expected” labor cost to QuickBooks actuals and adjust: set a shop-wide uplift % or per-tech rates, include benefits, vacation, unpaid work, bonuses, aim to slightly overstate costs (~5%) so you're pleasantly surprised at month-end.32:16 – Wrap: Most shops have a productivity and pricing problem—use SMS truthing to see it sooner.Key takeawaysFlat rate manages downside; hourly requires management. If hourly productivity slides from ~40 flagged hours to ~20, your margin vanishes.Don't let software mask reality. If SMS says 75% gross profit but financials show ~50%, trust the books and recalibrate SMS.Blend the cure. You rarely fix a major productivity problem only with pricing—and you can't price your way out of operational drag.Make SMS reflect true cost. Start shop-wide: if SMS shows $10k labor cost but QuickBooks shows $12k, increase internal tech rates by +20% (then refine per-tech if needed).Target “conservative accuracy.” Slightly overstating cost protects your bottom line morebthan rosy math ever will.Thanks to our partner PromotiveIt's time to hire a superstar for your business; what a grind you have in front of you.

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.

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.
