In a column for PJ Media, publicist and novelist Scott Pinsker wrote that there are no happy endings. As readers and listeners, we never want a good story to end.Here is what Scott wrote:One more time: There are no happy endings!After all, when a story is truly great, we don't want it to end. We need the story to go on and on forever — and for the adventures to continue. When it's finally time to say goodbye, we mourn the loss.And mourning isn't happy.But it's par for the course in storytelling; the immoveable yin to the irresistible yang. Can't have one without the other. As American genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist Tony Stark noted before his death:“Part of the journey is the end.”I remember when the hand-picked substitute author massacred the ending of The World of Time series by Robert Jordan. There were and are so many stories still to tell of that world, but the replacement author simply let the story peter away. So disappointing.But, of course, he didn't have the inspiration or vision that the original author had. He couldn't tell the stories. BUT the publisher should have found some fans that would have loved to continue those stories, to continue celebrating an incredible world populated by very interesting people. I hope there are some fans that will tell those stories. They have my permission — and encouragement — to do so.As authors, we should all have fans that are inspired to continue telling our stories — whether fiction or nonfiction.Stories are always worth continuing. They shouldn't have an end. Why not tell more of your story today? You have the time!And when your time ends, I encourage other courageous writers to continue your stories. Stories without end. Stories that live on and on. Stories that change lives. Stories that move us to greater things.Move on! This is a public episode.

Riri Williams es la nueva Tony Stark. O por lo menos es lo que Marvel planteaba en Ironheart. Una serie, que si bien no carece de máritos, pasa sin pena in gloria a formar parte de una producción más de series del MCU que probablemente no vayan a ningún lado... pero, ¡hey! Por fin enemos ya a Mefisto.Discusión: 00:00Patrocinador 19:54Noticias 21:32Síguenos en Facebook, Instagram y TikTok y escúchanos en las diferentes plataformas: https://linktr.ee/nerdifymx¡Crea tu podcast hoy! #madeonzencastr.

The spotlight has certainly taken its toll on Robert Downey Jr. over the years. But much like his beloved MCU character Tony Stark, there's an undeniably powerful force inside Robert that keeps him pushing forward. When we sat down over iced coffees, we found ourselves unpacking the fraught relationship Robert had with his father — the experimental, countercultural filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. — whose unconventional lifestyle created lasting ripples throughout the family. Their shared documentary, “Sr.”, stands as a powerful testament to the healing they found. Plus, we talk about sobriety, the belief it took to become Iron Man, and the full-circle moments spanning the decades since we first crossed paths on the set of Chaplin.

On today's episode I start off talking about my weekly adventures in the real world. I speak about the forth of July weekend and almost giving my coworker a heart attack on our departure into the weekend. But before that I was doing an open mic and possibly met my future wife. I made fun of her and her culture while bombing on stage technically embracing her culture some might say. From there i get into an argument with an influencer hating on others likes, which i highly dislike.ONE IN A MILLION - SANCHEZDIPSET ANSWER - THE DIPLOMATS(00:00 - 22:25)I have a new not so new segment which is about movie reviews and spoilers. This week i speak about “ MEGAN 2.0 ” and it was different from the original. They made a total genre jump, from one to another. They seem to be going down the John Wick route which they seem like they want to franchise. It does get cheesy, but it is definitely worth a watch but i would wait for streaming. (22:26 - 30:40)I then jump into The Cool Report where I discuss the Diddy results so far and i must say I was right, He was found not guilty on Rico and trafficking. This is definitely a huge change of events since that decision was made. We are now wondering what's gonna be his next move after this because he still a dirty dirty man, but people may forgive him. From there we take it to Queens and talk about a diving school that was giving immigrants license that didn't know the basics of driving. Another story is that a man from Florida was deported as soon as he saved a life as the headlines would tell us but that was not the case a man was deported after the fact while he was driving illegally.(30:41 - 58:41)We then step into a segment where the listeners ask me 3 questions about myself or just randomness. A character brings up the latest marvel controversy about Riri Williams and considering her comments she made of Tony Starks. People were up in arms and making it racial as well. But i think it was the writers making poor decisions and people not recognizing she's young. Another character tries to take a shot at me about not having as many friends as them. I think they were trying to rub it in. We than speak about embarrassment rituals and I have no clue what they're until the Diddy trial ended. Still do not understand it but i take a stab at it.(58:42 - 01:12:17)Then we have 2 fans ask us a questions for PTL where we get asked the tough questions where we place ourselves in their shoes. Like how can we tell if this man's girlfriend is being racist or considerate. One move that didn't seem to be too crazy is being seen just as that, i think they're tripping, but you tell me. Another lover wants to get out of the 4th of July festivities because they do not like the vibes… not of America but the people around them, they don't have a high social battery and i get it.(01:12:18 - 01:20:12)THE FINi give thank to everyone that shows us love and wish y'all the best on the journey called life.(01:20:13 - 01:22:31)please continue to like, share, comment and subscribe.PEACE OUT!!!!

Star Wars: In a Galaxy – Watching all the Star Wars we can get our hands on.

Among their discussion:– Wilhuff Tarkin is here and he means business.– We have a liiiiiiittle too much fun with the Buffalo Wild Wings meme (OK listen, we finally got there in the timeline).– The New Bridger Transmissions.– Does Kanan Jarrus have a similar arc to... Tony Stark? – That TIE Fighter that Ezra and Zeb stole and subsequently crashed but actually they totally didn't crash it and then Sabine painted it and now it's the Ghost crew's only hope.– More dealings with Cikatro Vizago. I hope that doesn't come back to haunt them that soon...– Imperial torture vs. Dark Side torture (yes, there is, unfortunately, a difference).– A daring assault on a Grand Moff's Star Destroyer starts "Fire Across the Galaxy"!– Kanan goes god mode.– The galaxy expands in front of our eyes!– After all this time, welcome back, Ahsoka Tano. We missed ya.

Frank and Jonathan rate Andor's Season-2 finale a near-perfect 9/10, debate the brand-new Superman trailer, and break down Marvel's first Ironheart footage. They also react to Fortnite's glitchy AI Darth Vader and sit down with fantasy author Richard Sparks to explore his MMO-inspired series New Rock, New Role. If you crave deep-dive Star Wars analysis, fresh trailer reactions, and book recommendations, this episode is your ultimate geek catch-up. Timestamps & Topics Time Topic 00:00 Intro & episode roadmap 00:00:30 Richard Sparks teaser – New Rock, New Role 00:02:37 Capital Creative Showcase + listener feedback 00:03:41 Ironheart trailer analysis (Riri Williams, The Hood, Mephisto) 00:08:25 Tech vs. mysticism in Ironheart 00:10:00 Superman trailer deep-dive (Lois interview, DCU world-building) 00:17:21 Andor Season-2 spoiler review begins 00:25:40 Cassian meets K-2SO – humor & stakes 00:26:44 Trauma, sacrifice, and everyday rebels 00:29:24 Final ratings: Andor gets a 9/10 00:31:02 News flash: Jessica Jones, Punisher, Ralph Fiennes in Hunger Games 00:35:12 Avatar: The Last Airbender movie delay 00:38:48 Netflix's Gears of War movie & tone worries 00:42:43 Thor 5 rumor—Chris Hemsworth wants a darker tone 00:44:47 AI Darth Vader glitch in Fortnite — ethics & chaos 00:50:01 Feature interview: Author Richard Sparks 01:25:44 Around-the-network updates & Jonathan's watch-list 01:30:30 Weekly recommendations & sign-off Key Takeaways Andor sets a new Star Wars benchmark with mature politics, everyday-hero focus, and a finale that bridges perfectly into Rogue One. Ironheart promises a scrappy, community-driven story that contrasts Tony Stark's privilege with Riri Williams' Chicago roots. The new Superman trailer revives the Christopher Reeve optimism while dropping viewers into a fully populated DCU. AI voice clones (like Fortnite's Darth Vader) are hype-worthy but need tighter safeguards before brands unleash them. Richard Sparks' New Rock series mixes MMO mechanics, 80s fantasy, and laugh-out-loud camaraderie—perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Willow. Memorable Quotes “Andor proves real rebellion relies on janitors jamming door locks, not just Jedi with lightsabers.” – Frank “Riri Williams is Iron Man if Tony grew up on the South Side and had to build a Mark I from junkyard scraps.” – Frank “AI Vader sounded amazing…until the Internet taught him four-letter words.” – Jonathan Call to Action Love the show?

Does America still have what it takes to stand up to China? Does short-term military readiness trade off with long-term strategy? What does the US need to do today to stay competitive for the rest of the century? “Tony Stark” is the author of Breaking Beijing, a Substack examining the military dimensions of US-China competition. Tony's Substack goes deep on subjects you didn't know you needed to understand, like Arctic policy, and takes a refreshing step back to look at great power competition holistically. Tony is also the author of Ex Supra, a sci-fi thriller about a near-future US-China war. Today, we discuss… What it will take to win the 21st century, and what America needs to prioritize in the short, medium, and long term, Why investing in education, basic science research, and foreign aid pay dividends in military readiness, Why Washington is short on coherent China strategy, Taiwan's impact on global nonproliferation efforts, How AI could change warfare, even if AGI can't be considered a “wonder weapon.” Outro music: Cmon - Fred Again (YouTube link) Learn more about your ad choices.

Ethan Thornton is the founder of MACH Industries, a next-generation defense technology and manufacturing company that's dedicated to redefining the future of modern combat through their hydrogen-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and drone defense systems. A 21-year-old MIT dropout, Ethan left higher learning in 2023 after receiving a Thiel Fellowship from tech startup investor Peter Thiel (as well as placing on Forbes 30 under 30 list) to pursue working at MACH full-time. Considered by some to be a modern tech savant who shares the stage with the likes of Elon Musk or Marvel's fictional billionaire Tony Stark, Ethan's goal is to create more cost-effective and efficient defense systems by replacing traditional munitions with hydrogen-powered alternatives. He's also attracted significant attention for his work at the Department of Defense, with his innovative approach to crafting weapons systems like Viper, Glide, and Stratus leading some to believe that MACH may very well be rewriting the rulebook when it comes to combat engagements and aerial warfare.
