I'm always holding space for others, and for a really long time, I wasn't fully listening to what

my body was telling me. I had that sluggish, heavy feeling, I felt off, and I tried

a bunch of different things from herbal teas, probiotics, elimination diets, you name it. But nothing

gave me lasting relief. It was then that I heard of oxypowder from global healing.

I can't describe how big these sets were. I got lost. The detail, it was like stepping back in time. It's all built. It's all there. There's all the creatures are there. They eight foot tall, Zinomov, with all the moving mouth parts and the drool. Yeah, terrifying. But terrifying.

2:17.8

What's up, guys? Today's podcast is a very special episode as I'm about to interview two of the stars from Alien Earth on FX. Here at San Diego Comic Con. It's one of the most highly anticipated series of the year on one of my favorite networks, FX. And a huge shout out to FX for letting me use this incredible podcast space to talk to the talent. If you're looking for a new dark and gritty series, Alien Earth has you covered. I already saw the debut episode of the new original series and you will be hooked right from the start. What I love about this new series is they use a lot of practical effects as well as some visual effects.

Guys, this is a scene from the show itself. Alien Earth answers questions that the fandom has wondered since the debut of the franchise and connects all the worlds.

So this is very promising for not only fans, but it stays true to the story and what it originally was meant to be. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, I'm going to link it down below, go check it out. The sound design, the effects, the acting. It has everything to be your favorite show of the fall. Noah Farley is attached to the project and has some incredible previous worth.

2:52.1

I think it's safe to say that the show is in good hands. Even just this hype up of it, like the room. I'm going to be interviewing the two stars of the show. I'm going to be talking with Sidney Chandler and Babu Sisei. We're both leads on the show and I'm really excited to get their perspective of filming a sci-fi. With the audition was like taking on such a legendary franchise and diving into this world.
