Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Rick Rosner explore the bizarre and the brutal. The Alien: Earth saga continues as the Hermit briefly captures a creature, Wendy battles a robotic lieutenant, and their uneasy alliance begins to crack. Rosner then recounts horrific gym injuries, including a powerlifter tearing both quadriceps and common bicep ruptures. He also shares his stepfather’s sternum-removal surgery after thyroid cancer. Shifting to comedy, Rosner recalls Michael Richards’ infamous meltdowns and his own near-breakdown, contrasting explosive outbursts with quieter creative collapses. The conversation ties together fragile humans, resilient machines, and the strange ways both succeed and fail.
