Bad Bunny, or Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines and social media this week as he wraps up his epic two-month residency, No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, at Puerto Rico's Coliseo de Puerto Rico. This 30-concert extravaganza transformed San Juan into a nonstop celebration, drawing fans worldwide and sparking a festival atmosphere across the city—bars overflowed, murals sprang up overnight, and legendary surprise guests hit the stage. Reports from Radio Milwaukee paint a scene of San Juan “alive,” with airport lines snaking out the door for merch, pop-ups celebrating Benito, and entire neighborhoods blasting his biggest hits. Inside the arena, each performance was a spectacle of lights, pyrotechnics, Puerto Rican iconography, and star-studded cameos—Arcángel, Ivy Queen, Young Miko, and Feid all took turns electrifying the crowd.The residency was more than a concert series; it was a declaration of Puerto Rican pride and a global showcase of Latin music's power. Bad Bunny himself, sharing with i-D Magazine, described the energy as “unprecedented,” uniting generations with music rooted in salsa, bomba y plena, and classic reggaetón influences interspersed throughout his flashy pop catalog.Just this Monday, Bad Bunny surprised fans with the release of his new single “Alambre Púa.” According to AOL, he debuted the track live for the residency's closing weekend, using it as the adrenaline-charged opener that set the tone for a 30-song marathon. This marks his first new music since January's album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which itself remains a Billboard and streaming juggernaut well into the year. Variety notes that the album's popularity is powering everything from record sales to unique brand tie-ins, like a special Peloton workout series celebrating Bad Bunny's music and artistic journey.The residency, however, is only the beginning of Bad Bunny's next chapter. ABC News and The Fader detail that his highly anticipated world tour for 2025-2026, supporting Debí Tirar Más Fotos, will not feature any U.S. dates. Bad Bunny cited not just a sense that he had “already done the U.S. extensively,” but, more seriously, concerns about safety and the threat of ICE raids for himself and his fans—a move the artist discussed candidly with both Variety and i-D.Recognition for Bad Bunny's achievements continues to skyrocket: the Latin Times confirms that he just broke the all-time record for nominations at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, earning an incredible 27 nominations. He leads across categories—Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Top Latin Album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and a slew of individual single nominations, underscoring his dominance in both streaming and on the charts. The awards ceremony will air live on October 23, 2025, from Miami, so expect even more historic moments as the date approaches.Meanwhile, Bad Bunny's cultural reach goes further than music. As reported by Variety, he's starring alongside Adam Sandler in the much-hyped movie Happy Gilmore 2, released in July, continuing his rapid rise as a multifaceted global entertainer.Thanks for tuning in—come back next week for another update on Bad Bunny and all things music.

We boldly declare that it's the funniest year's mind you'll ever listen to. Stick around till the end, when Zac's son, Isaac, drops in and delivers one of the sickest burns you'll ever hear.

Send us a textWhat happens when the government decides it needs your land? Does the Constitution really allow officials to seize your family home, farm, or business property against your will? The answer might disturb you.Attorney Clint Schumacher, a leading eminent domain expert, joins us to unravel the complex world where constitutional rights, property ownership, and government power collide. Schumacher pulls back the curtain on a legal process that affects countless Americans but remains widely misunderstood.We explore the landmark Kelo v. City of New London case that dramatically expanded government's ability to take private property, allowing cities to seize homes for economic development rather than traditional public uses like roads or schools. This controversial Supreme Court decision sparked nationwide outrage and legislative reforms, yet many property owners remain vulnerable.The conversation takes a deeply human turn as Schumacher describes families losing properties held for generations – land that forms part of their identity, not just their assets. We examine the Henry family farm in New Jersey, owned by the same family for 175 years, now threatened by condemnation for affordable housing. This poignant example highlights how even worthy public goals create profound private sacrifices.We also demystify the compensation process, revealing the often significant gap between government appraisals and true property value. Schumacher explains why property owners frequently feel shortchanged even when receiving "just compensation," especially when forced to pay their own legal fees from their settlement amounts.Whether you're a property owner concerned about your rights or simply want to understand this fascinating intersection of law, economics, and human dignity, this episode provides crucial insights into a power that Schumacher calls "a necessary evil." Despite its importance for infrastructure development, nothing government does to innocent citizens feels more invasive than taking their property against their will.Have questions about your legal rights? Contact us at producer@evenlegal.com. And while we sound smart and lovable, remember: we're not your lawyers, and this isn't legal advice!Our Guest: Clint SchumacherClint Schumacher focuses his litigation practice on eminent domain and government taking litigation. Clint has represented property owners of all sizes that are being impacted by public projects. Before joining his present firm, Dawson & Sodd, Clint represented regional toll authorities and mass-transit authorities in some of the largest projects in north Texas. Clint's dedication to excellence has led to him receiving the designation of Counselor of Real Estate, as well as that of Texas Super Lawyer in Eminent Domain by Texas Lawyer magazine in 2014-25. He has also been recognized by D Magazine as one of the top lawyers in Dallas. In 2021, Clint released a book on resiliency called Second Wind: Decisions the Resilient Make to Overcome Adversity. Clint is married to his college sweetheart, Jennifer, and they have three boys. Clint is also a dedicated football coach, having coached at Trinity Christian Academy (2016–2025) and Dallas Bills (2009-2017). He is a member of the Texas State High School Coaches Association and the American Football Coaches Association.

Sarah was the U.S. Attorney for the North District of Texas before Barack Obama appointed her head of ICE in 2014. She talks with Tim about why the agency shouldn't be abolished, despite President Trump's current campaign to use it as a tool of terror; about why Dallas hasn't yet seen the sorts of raids that have gone down in other large cities; about why the agency will never deport the number of people the president claims it will; and about why her family was ultimately wrong when they encouraged her to become the first Latina to lead ICE.

In this episode of Tiny Pulpit Talks, Rev. T.J. Fitzgerald sits down with Dallas-based immigration attorney Jiroko Lopez for a conversation about what it really means to seek legal status in the United States. Rev. T.J. and Jiroko unpack the myths, the fear, and the staggering complexity of immigration law in this country. They talk about red cards, the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, and the rights of undocumented people. They discuss how to prepare your family if you're living without status including how to build a safety plan, create a power of attorney, and gather the documents that could make all the difference in a crisis. But more than that, this is a conversation about humanity. About the fear parents live with every time they drop their kids at school. About the quiet heroism of people working without protection, paying into systems they may never benefit from. About hope, and heartbreak, and stubborn love. Jiroko brings her frontline experience in Dallas immigration courts, where policy meets real lives—families, children, and workers trying to navigate a system that often feels stacked against them. Together, they lift up voices too often silenced and share what communities can do, even when the law feels immovable. About Jiroko Lopez - Jiroko Lopez is a partner at Lopez & Freshwater, PLLC, an immigration law firm based in Richardson, Texas. Her passion for immigration law began during her undergraduate studies at Southern Methodist University (SMU), where she was hired to interview immigrants in the Dallas–Fort Worth area as part of an anthropological study. Through these interviews, she witnessed firsthand the inequality and poor working conditions many immigrants faced—an experience that inspired her to pursue a legal career focused on immigrant advocacy. After earning her law degree from SMU, Ms. Lopez began her career with Catholic Charities Legal Services. Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, she led the legal orientation program for custodians of unaccompanied children. One year after, she co-founded her own firm and has since represented hundreds of clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Dallas Immigration Court. In addition to her private practice, Ms. Lopez volunteers with the SMU Criminal Clinic, screening non-citizens for potential immigration consequences of criminal convictions. Her firm also holds one of the few contracts from the Mexican Government for External Legal Assistance, providing legal aid to victims of domestic violence and violent crime. In collaboration with the Mexican Consulate in Dallas, she has helped organize free legal clinics offering immigration consultations, power of attorney services, and human trafficking screenings for the local community. Ms. Lopez has been recognized as one of D Magazine's Best Immigration Attorneys every year since 2017. She remains committed to community outreach, regularly delivering “Know Your Rights” and immigration presentations throughout the DFW area, including at Genesis Women's Shelter, local schools, places of worship, and other community organizations.

Are you feeling the weight of perfectionism and the constant need to achieve? Dr. Tiffany Moon's journey is a testament to how the pressure to be perfect can hinder personal fulfillment.

The jalapeño is the workhorse of hot peppers. They're sold fresh, canned, pickled, in hot sauces, salsas, smoked into chipotles, and they outsell all other hot peppers in the United States. These everyday chilies are a scientific and sociological marvel, and tell a complicated story about Mexican food and American palates. In today's episode, we meet Dallas-based food critic Brian Reinhart, who fell in love with spicy Mexican cuisine as a teenager. Recently, Brian started to notice that the jalapeños he'd buy in the grocery store were less and less hot. So he called up an expert: Dr. Stephanie Walker, who studies chili pepper genetics at New Mexico State University. She explains that the food industry has been breeding milder jalapeños for decades – a project led by “Dr. Pepper” himself, Benigno Villalon. Finally, Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano puts the jalapeño in context, as part of an age-old cycle in Americans' obsession with Mexican food: one more ingredient that's been “discovered,” celebrated, then domesticated. Brian Reinhart's article about the jalapeño ran in D Magazine. Gustavo Arellano's book is called Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America.
