Prompted in part by some recent experiences, Adam, Joanna, and Zach wonder if a backlash to the cocktail movement is coming. Will the veritable ocean of ambitious, perhaps lightly-tested cocktails made by relatively new bartender at eyewatering prices turn would-be cocktail drinkers off? Does the average cocktail drinker really just prefer a reasonably priced classic cocktail?

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the Native American tribe that owns the land under Billie Eilish's multimillion-dollar Los Angeles mansion said celebrities should “explicitly” reference the tribes if they want to use them to virtue-signal. The Tongva tribe confirmed the “Bad Guy” singer's $3 million home does sit on its “ancestral land,” after the 24-year-old used her Grammys acceptance speech to rail against ICE and insist that “no one is illegal on stolen land.” Also Iran is losing millions per day from internet blackout and speculation on Trump's plan on Iran.

Welcome to another chaotic episode of Don't Be Sour, where we somehow go from debating massage etiquette to dissecting international politics to arguing about whether snowboarding is cooler than skiing (spoiler: it obviously is). This week, David sold his entire house—furniture, gym equipment, and all—in like 48 hours to some cash-wielding strangers who apparently loved his interior design choices. Meanwhile, Shawley got catfished by a squat rack that looks like it was assembled by someone who'd never seen a gym before. Oh, and Maxx discovered books exist. Wild times. We dive deep into the hard-hitting questions nobody asked for: Is it weird to ask your masseuse to go softer THREE times? Why do rich people shave their arms? Can dogs eventually learn English if we just keep talking at them? And most importantly—what's the protocol when your massage therapist offers "extras"? (Asking for a friend. That friend is Joe.) Plus, we get surprisingly serious about current events, ICE operations, and why everyone on the internet is mad at Joe again. Don't worry, he doubles down. Stick around for heated debates about $89 basketballs, the correct air pressure for athletic performance and planning a snowboarding trip where Joe will definitely panic on the private jet, Maxx will force everyone to film his jumps seventeen times, and Shawley will discover that step-on bindings are life-changing. It's friendship, it's chaos, it's probably too long—but hey, that's the Don't Be Sour guarantee. See you next week (maybe).
In this important episode, Charlie Sykes and Matt Lewis break down the stunning Texas Senate special election upset: Democrat Taylor Rehmet flips a +17 Trump district by 14 points (31-point swing!) despite massive GOP spending and Trump intervention.

What happens when tech hype collides with creative backlash?In this episode of thinkfuture, host Chris Kalaboukis speaks with Jonathan Smith (JP Prince), a technologist working inside VC-backed startups and the author of the upcoming cyberpunk novel The Mess. Living in both worlds has given JP a rare vantage point on one of the biggest cultural fractures of our time: AI in tech vs. AI in creativity.On one side, venture-backed companies where having an “AI story” is no longer optional—it's mandatory. On the other, creative communities that increasingly see AI as an existential threat to human artistry. JP explains how these two realities collide in practice, often in uncomfortable ways.We cover:- The growing schism between tech's AI hype and creative backlash- Why VC expectations now demand AI-driven hypergrowth- The concept of “receptivity”—why messaging fails when you ignore audience identity- AI fatigue from poorly implemented features and forced automation- How AI exposes how much modern work is low-value and performative- The business realities of publishing and why many authors are turning to self-publishing- Exploitation of artists, unfair contracts, and why unions still matterJP's new cyberpunk novel The Mess, set in a future where corporations replace a collapsed U.S. governmentJP argues that AI's most disruptive power isn't creativity—it's revealing how much of our work and systems exist purely to look productive.If you're interested in AI culture, creative labor, tech hype, or the future of human value, this conversation goes far beyond surface-level debate.

Today's Headlines: The Trump administration is facing growing bipartisan backlash over aggressive ICE enforcement following recent shootings in Minnesota. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the federal government needs to “recalibrate” its approach, while Republican Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Chris Madel dropped out of the race, calling the immigration operation an “unmitigated disaster” and condemning what he described as racial profiling. The criticism has spread beyond Democrats, with the Libertarian Party calling for ICE to be abolished and the Wall Street Journal editorial board urging ICE to pause operations in Minnesota. Amid mounting pressure, the administration demoted Customs and Border Protection official Greg Bovino and reassigned ICE personnel out of Minneapolis, signaling a temporary de-escalation. Border czar Tom Homan has been sent to oversee the situation as Trump publicly emphasized cooperation with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. New reporting raises concerns about ICE activity elsewhere, including allegations that agents in Colorado left so-called “death cards” in vehicles after detentions. Separately, documents reveal ICE is using a Palantir-built surveillance tool to map neighborhoods for immigration raids using data from multiple federal agencies. Internationally, Trump said negotiations with Iran remain “in flux” as the U.S. increases its military presence in the region. Israel confirmed the return of the final hostage's remains, allowing the Gaza ceasefire to move toward its next phase. Trump also announced higher tariffs on South Korean imports, cited the use of a secret weapon in the raid that captured Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, and commented on allegations that a top Chinese general leaked nuclear secrets to the U.S. Meanwhile, a massive winter storm across 19 states has been linked to at least 22 deaths, with hundreds of thousands still without power. Congress is also racing to avoid a potential government shutdown tied to funding for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE oversight.
