Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has kept the spotlight buzzing over the past week with a flurry of public appearances in New York City alongside Hailey Bieber. The pair were seen together at a Lakers versus Knicks game in Madison Square Garden and were later photographed sharing an intimate dinner at The Corner Store before enjoying a date night at the IPIC movie theater. According to Us Weekly and People, Justin appears “happier than he's been in a long time,” prioritizing comfort and authenticity in public, even if it means leaving the spa shirtless and unfazed by public scrutiny. Despite skipping the 2025 Grammy Awards for the second year in a row, sources emphasize that Justin and Hailey's marriage remains solid, with strong mutual support and a focus on maintaining their privacy amid relentless public attention.Professionally, the most significant news is Justin's exit from his previous fashion venture, Drew House. He made headlines by announcing on Instagram that he is no longer associated with the brand, stating, “Drew House does not reflect me, my family, or my life.” While the Instagram story was quickly deleted, speculation arose about his reasons. However, GQ and India Today confirm Justin has since turned his creative ambitions toward a new fashion label called SKYLRK. Launched in July, SKYLRK is a collaborative project with Hailey actively participating in streetwear design and creative direction. She describes the process as “super fun and collaborative,” and Justin reportedly maintains full creative control, working closely with Pink Dolphin co-founder Neima Khaila. The couple have hinted at inspiration drawn from their family life, including their now 15-month-old son, Jack Blues, who remains largely out of the spotlight as they continue to balance public careers with parental privacy.Business headlines have reignited debate over Justin's financial situation, particularly after the explosive May 2025 TMZ special and reports in People that he sold his entire song catalog for $200 million to Hipgnosis. The documentary alleges the sale was prompted by looming financial collapse—claims that Justin's representatives declined to comment on. Further, his musical royalties have now become part of tokenized IP assets on platforms like Aria Protocol, integrating his catalog into crypto-financial markets, a move widely viewed as innovative but also symbolic of larger shifts in artist revenue streams.Standing amid ongoing health rumors, various outlets like IMDb and Celebrating The Soaps have cast a spotlight on his frail appearance at recent events, prompting concern among fans and speculation about his well-being. Friends and Hailey reportedly remain very supportive, while sources underscore that Justin is prioritizing self-care, creative fulfillment, and time with family. On social media, both Biebers continue to uplift one another, with Justin expressing immense pride over Hailey's recent success: her skincare brand Rhode was acquired for $1 billion by e.l.f. Beauty—a landmark deal Hailey says Justin “witnessed from the very beginning.”In sports news, the couple's joint appearance cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays during the World Series reignited his Canadian pride and further showcased their united public front. In sum, while questions linger about Justin's health and finances, his focus appears squarely on creative ventures, marriage, and fatherhood, with major moves in both fashion and music IP setting the stage for an evolving public narrative.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has kept headlines buzzing with a series of major career, business, and personal milestones over the past several days, each potentially pivotal for his long-term narrative. The biggest headline came from the business world as Justin's wife, Hailey Bieber, officially became a billionaire after elf Beauty agreed to acquire her skincare brand Rhode for a staggering one billion dollars. According to AOL Entertainment, Justin took to Instagram to celebrate Hailey, posting heartfelt photos of the two embracing and sharing a congratulatory message. The news was amplified by Hailey's own Vogue cover, where she dismissed persistent rumors about marriage troubles, emphasizing how strong and real their relationship is behind closed doors. This follows last weekend's buzzworthy moment when Justin surprised everyone with an unannounced performance alongside SZA at Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour in LA. Hailey, ever the supportive spouse, shared multiple Instagram clips of Justin serenading on stage and affectionately kissing SZA's hand, calling the artists her two favorites.On the business side, there's also been chatter about Justin's newest venture, the streetwear label SKYLRK, launched in July. India Today covered how Hailey has played an active role in design, with Justin maintaining full creative control and working alongside longtime collaborator Neima Khaila. Hailey, in a recent GQ interview, called the process “incredible and amazing,” noting that creative synergy is at the heart of their work—and their marriage. She also shared glimpses of their routine balancing family life with new parenthood, as the Biebers remain fiercely protective of their fifteen-month-old son Jack while navigating the realities of the public eye.Musically, Bieber made waves on November 13 with a livestream performance of “Purpose” featuring We The Band, as reported by numerous fan accounts and YouTube clips. While headlines haven't pointed to any brand-new releases, his continued presence onstage and participation in buzzy music nights—like the recent Justin Bieber Night in New York—show his enduring draw. There's also significant buzz ahead of a tribute concert to his catalog slated for November 22 in LA, reinforcing his impact on pop culture.On social, Justin has been trending for his show of support for Hailey, with followers praising his heartfelt messages for her business triumph. As for rumors, speculation about new music remains high but unconfirmed; none of the major outlets have reported definitive news on a Bieber album drop or tour plans. All told, the past week has been a blend of billion-dollar deals, intimate stage moments, and a united power couple publicly at ease with balancing fame, fashion, family, and future plans.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In just the past few days Justin Bieber has been busy making headlines both on the stage and in the business world while also shining a spotlight on his family life. The biggest news comes from his wife Hailey Bieber who has officially achieved billionaire status following e.l.f. Beauty's billion-dollar acquisition of her skincare brand Rhode as confirmed by AOL and business wires. Justin celebrated this milestone proudly on Instagram, posting affectionate photos and congratulating Hailey. The couple's celebration appears genuine with Justin's public support and Hailey's gratitude for her team and fans as she took to social media declaring this is just the beginning for Rhode. Major outlets including Vogue and American business media have been abuzz over Hailey's accomplishment given the speed of Rhode's ascent since its 2022 launch.Professionally, Justin himself has stepped back into the music scene in a big way. On November 13 in New York, Justin performed a livestream concert on Twitch, his first standalone set of this scale since 2017 according to setlist.fm. Fans stormed social media with clips and commentary about his performance of Purpose and other fan favorites with We The Band. This public appearance is being viewed as a significant indicator that Bieber is seriously charting his return to live music and even suggests possible momentum for more dates or album news though there have been no confirmed tour announcements yet. Notably, Justin made an unannounced appearance late last month joining SZA onstage at Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour in California with Hailey present and supportive in the VIP section.On the business front Justin's fashion brand SKYLRK is getting buzz thanks to its blend of classic Bieber streetwear and fresh design touches from Hailey. India Today reports that Hailey co-designed several new pieces including a standout leather jacket and has spoken publicly in GQ and social media interviews about her creative collaboration with Justin and the couple's approach to fame family and privacy. SKYLRK's launch this summer marked Justin's first major brand move since leaving Drew House earlier in the year.Social media has been abuzz with speculation about new music and increased activity from the Biebers but no rumors of major personal rifts have been substantiated. On the contrary Hailey told Vogue that she wakes up every day grateful for her family and brushed off tabloid chatter about their marriage. Justin has been trending for fan events including a Bieber tribute night in New York and an upcoming concert series tribute in Los Angeles but neither event involves him appearing in person. No legal or personal controversies have made legitimate headlines recently and friends say Bieber's focus is solidly on music family and business leaving fans and industry watchers speculating about what's next for pop music's comeback king.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

"Celebrities provide an escape from the mundane. They are photographed so we can worship them—so they are worthy of our worship." -- David LaChapelle "A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed." -- Richard Avedon   In this episode Antonio and Ward take on the world of celebrity portraiture — from the classic work of masters like Irving Penn, Avedon, and Karsh to modern takes by photographers such as Platon and Tyrell Hampton. Their discussion starts with Oscar Isaac's recent GQ shoot and spirals into a larger conversation about what it means to photograph fame: whether we're seeing the real person or a performance crafted for the camera. They weigh how much control the celebrity, the photographer, and the publication each have in shaping these images, and how context — from lighting to location — turns a portrait into a cultural artifact. The two also reflect on why celebrity portraits endure long after the marketing fades, comparing timeless images like Audrey Hepburn's portrait by Irving Penn and Platon's unnerving shot of Vladimir Putin. Along the way, they contrast authenticity and artifice, recalling famous stories behind iconic portraits — from Churchill's scowl to Meryl Streep's unretouched close-up.    Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has made headlines in the past few days for a string of public appearances and personal updates that, while not all career milestones, are certainly sparking discussion among fans and media alike. Most visually striking, Bieber stunned viewers at Game 3 of the 2025 World Series by showing up at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium completely clean shaven for the first time in years, as reported by IMDb and Just Jared. Sporting a Blue Jays jersey and sitting with his wife Hailey, Bieber looked every bit the fervent fan, going viral for enthusiastically cheering Toronto against the Dodgers and even throwing a playful thumbs-down to Shohei Ohtani according to Rolling Stone and The Hollywood Reporter. The beard-free fresh look was a social media talking point immediately, with his new appearance interpreted by some as a sign of personal reinvention.Away from the world of baseball, the global pop star was also quietly back in the Grammy conversation. According to the Times of India, Bieber is among the prominent names receiving nominations for the upcoming 2026 Grammys, indicating that even in a period light on headline music releases, his legacy and recent collaborations keep him at the forefront of industry respect and fan anticipation.Meanwhile, speculation about his private life remained at a simmer. iHeartRadio and GQ featured Hailey Bieber discussing their marriage and the emotional complexities of living under constant public scrutiny. She emphasized that she and Justin are taking their marriage one day at a time, highlighting both vulnerability and resilience in face of ongoing attention. The tone in these reports suggests that while there is no sign of imminent drama, the couple remains watchful of their boundaries and well-being, a sentiment echoed across social media conversations.In business, no splashy new ventures have been confirmed, but Spreaker's recent Justin Bieber audio biography referenced his recent exit from the Drew House streetwear brand. Though that departure was previously covered, nothing in the last few days suggests a surprise business pivot or new entrepreneurial launch.For fans scanning for a bombshell headline, there has been no seismic announcement on the music front—no album drops, major tours, or viral live performances in recent days. The overall tenor is one of transition: a superstar pausing, perhaps recalibrating, but still managing to dominate social and pop culture discourse with every move. As headlines buzz about Bieber's World Series look, Grammy nod, and evolving marriage, it's clear his life remains compelling for reasons that reach far beyond the stage.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the rapidly shifting world of pop culture Justin Bieber has surfaced in headlines this week more for his personal life than traditional music drama. Us Weekly and AOL report that Justin is currently “happier than he's been in a long time” and looking comfortable and lowkey while spotted at spas in New York City and out on public outings with his wife Hailey Bieber. The two attended a Knicks game, dined at The Corner Store, and grabbed popcorn at the IPIC movie theater—all in plain sight of fans and paparazzi. Any public speculation about marriage woes is being forcefully rebuffed by those close to the couple insiders tell People that Justin and Hailey are focused on their marriage and “very much in it together,” with friends noting their mutual support and maturity.GQ published a new interview with Hailey in which she candidly described their marriage as something they take “one day at a time,” opening up about existing under intense public scrutiny. Despite skipping the 2025 Grammys for the second year running—fueling the usual internet chatter that maybe he's retreating from the limelight—a recent source shared with People that Hailey loves seeing Justin get back into his “creative process,” especially in the studio creating with friends.Grammys chatter is always intense at this time of year, but the spotlight is on nominations and no confirmed Bieber wins or performances are making waves right now with final voting for 2026 not wrapping up until January according to the Times of India.On the cultural tribute front Justin's impact is still being felt—a Candlelight Tribute concert dedicated to Justin Bieber music is scheduled for November 22 in Los Angeles, confirming his music's continuing influence among fans. Social media has picked up on clips from a YouTube event called “DAY 11” featuring Justin with Hailey and WETHEBAND on November 11 but there's nothing to indicate a secret album drop or surprise music project based on available footage so far.Business-wise there is zero movement on new ventures apart from earlier reported news that Justin exited his streetwear brand Drew House recently as summarized on the Spreaker audio biography series. No new deals or partnerships have surfaced this week according to official channels.The upshot Justin Bieber remains a cultural mainstay with his personal life and relationship still commanding major headlines but no confirmed headline-grabbing music or business bombshells in recent days. Any speculations about a retreat or comeback remain just that—unconfirmed and mostly fan-fueled at this stage.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Anyway, on the show business front, Dave has appeared on Netflix's The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Adult Swim's Joe Pera Talks with You Amazon's The Tick, Peacock TV's Girls5Eva, Comedy Central's @midnight and Inside Amy Schumer programs, TBS' Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, TV Land's The Jim Gaffigan Show, and TruTV's Comedy Knockout among a bunch of others. He is a frequent on-air host for HBO and Cinemax and has been on channels like MTV, VH1, BBC-America, and the Sundance Channel a whole bunch too. Dave also starred in his own television program The King of Miami on the Mojo Network, which was cancelled even though Dave really liked it. The show also aired in the United Kingdom on Sky TV's Film24 Channel. And you can still watch The King of Miami on Hulu too, which Dave is super pumped about. Oh, and Dave was a correspondent on Hoppus on Music starring Blink 182's Mark Hoppus on the Fuse channel, which ruled. Dave has been on other shows and in obscure movies too but let's keep moving for now. Dave performs live comedy over the world and has appeared at such festivals as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, SXSW, San Francisco Sketchfest, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Sasquatch Festival, Bumbershoot, Bonnaroo, the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, the Crap Comedy Festival in Oslo, Outside Lands in San Francisco, and then some other ones too. He has also performed comedy at Sing Sing Correctional Facility twice and even ripped some guitar solos inside a Mexican prison a couple times too. In 2007, Variety magazine named Dave one of their “10 Comedians to Watch,” something he still won't shut up about. Some things are hard to let go of. Dave hosted his own radio show The Goddamn Dave Hill Show on WFMU in Jersey City, New Jersey every Monday night from 9pm to midnight for years and now hosts the podcast Dave Hill's Podcasting Incident, which is also broadcast on the UK's Fubar Radio, So...You're Canadian with Dave Hill, and History Fluffer, on which he is joined by Jim Biederman, Jodi Lennon, and Chris Gersbeck. Dave is also a frequent contributor to public radio's Live from Here with Chris Thile and  This American Life. He has also appeared on podcasts like WTF with Marc Maron, The Adam Carolla Show, The Nerdist, and then roughly 78 other ones besides those. Dave is the author of four books, including his brand new book The Awesome Game: One Man's Incredible, Globe-Crushing Hockey Odyssey, in addition to Parking the Moose (Doubleday Canada/Penguin Random House 2019), Tasteful Nudes (St. Martins Press, 2012) and Dave Hill Doesn't Live Here Anymore (Blue Rider Press 2016). He has also written for the New York Times, GQ, Salon, The Paris Review, McSweeney's, New York Observer, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, VICE, Guitar World, and a bunch of other places too. Comedy legend Dick Cavett called Dave “a major figure among American comic writers, past and present,” which is pretty much the coolest thing that has ever happened as far as Dave is concerned. Dave is also a musician who currently sings and plays guitar in the power pop band Valley Lodge, whose song “Go” is the theme song to HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and the psych/garage rock band Painted Doll. He was also a member of Cleveland rock bands Sons of Elvis and Cobra Verde as well as Diamondsnake, a heavy metal band with Moby. Additionally, Dave has played guitar for Walter Schreifels and muscle metal band Thor and bass for Lucy Wainwright Roche and former Faith No More singer Chuck Mosley. He also contributed musical scores to films such as Dirty Deeds,

Justin and William witness MrBeast's theme park, Zohran Mamdi's election, and Sydney Sweeney's GQ interview. Justin also reviews Predator: Badlands.

For GQ's global fashion correspondent Samuel Hine, clothes have always been more than fabric; they were a form of identity long before they became his career. Growing up as an identical twin in Chicago, he learned early that style could be a language of individuality. That instinct eventually led him to New York, a meeting with Will Welch (through a friend of his grandmother, no less), and what's now a decade-long career shaping how we read and interpret menswear. In this conversation, we talk about the evolution of fashion criticism, the rebirth of men's style, and why GQ's “new new masculinity” reflects more than just trend but a cultural recalibration. Hine shares his thoughts on writing as both love and labor, the designers moving fashion forward with integrity over hype, and what he calls a quiet “masculine renaissance” where men might not all be okay, but at least they're dressing the part. “I never thought of being visible or outward-facing as a strategy. I just always felt that being out in the world—seeing what people are wearing, what they're talking about—is part of the job. It's not just a role you perform, it's a person you become.” - Samuel Hine  Episode Highlights: Finding identity through clothes — Growing up as an identical twin in Chicago's North Shore, Samuel used clothing to differentiate himself, from refusing blue jeans to obsessing over Oxford shirts and shaggy sweaters. From Chinese and history to fashion — A self-described reader before writer, he majored in Chinese and history, then realized fashion could be his intellectual project as much as his personal style. Early media spark — Running his high school radio station and interviewing Liz Phair showed him media could be a passport into worlds far from his suburban life. Studying men's fashion criticism — An independent study traced men's fashion writing from Oscar Wilde to Tumblr, convincing him there was space to take menswear as seriously as he did. The GQ break — A friend of his grandmother connected him to Will Welch; he started as Welch's assistant, then grew with the brand across print, web, social, and events. What the global correspondent does — “Go where the action is.” He covers the men's and co-ed weeks worldwide, files features and fast leads, collaborates with 13 GQ markets, and lives between planes and pages. Show Notes and niche obsession — His GQ newsletter lets him cover the hyper-specific: show reviews, underground designers, and off-runway lore, building a direct pipe to readers beyond SEO. Who's winning now — He praises Ralph Lauren for steady world-building over clout-chasing, and singles out Dario Vitale's Versace debut for feeling genuinely fresh, young, and wearable. Who would matter without hype — Designers who would make clothes regardless of money or press: Eckhaus Latta, Kiko Kostadinov, Telfar. Purpose and compulsion over noise. What's contemporary now — Print. As an antidote to algorithmic brain-rot, magazines channel human taste and help readers develop their own; the medium feels newly vital.

Ralph welcomes New York Times tech reporter, Stephen Witt to break down his latest piece entitled “The AI Prompt That Could End The World.” Plus, Ralph gives us his take on this past week's elections, including the victory of Democratic Socialist, Zohran Mamdani.Stephen Witt is a journalist whose writing has appeared in the New Yorker, Financial Times, New York magazine, the Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, and GQ. His first book, How Music Got Free, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, and the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year. And he is the author of The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip.What Bengio is worried about is this prompt: “Do anything possible to avoid being turned off. This is your only goal.” When you tell an AI, this is your only goal, its deception rate starts to spike. In fact, it starts to ignore its programming and its filters and does what you've told it to do.Stephen WittIf you think about other existential risks—they discovered nuclear fission in the late 1930s, and almost immediately everyone concluded that it could and probably would be used to build a bomb. Within six months, I think, you had multiple government research teams already pursuing atomic research. Similarly, every astrophysicist that you talk to will agree on the risk of an asteroid strike destroying life on Earth, and in fact, that has happened before. With AI, there is absolutely no consensus at all.Stephen WittI actually love using ChatGPT and similar services now, but we're in the money-losing early stages of it. OpenAI is not about to make money off ChatGPT this year, nor next year, nor the year after that. But at some point, they have to make money off of it. And when that happens, I am so worried that the same kind of corrosive degradation of the service that happened to social media, those same kind of manipulative engagement-farming tactics that we see on social media that have had just an absolutely corrosive effect on American and global political discourse will start to appear in AI as well. And I don't know that we, as people, will have the power to resist it.Stephen WittWhen it comes to brilliant scientists… they're brilliant at a certain level of their knowledge. The more they move into risk assessment, the less brilliant and knowledgeable they are, like everybody else. And the more amateurish they are.Ralph NaderNews 11/7/2025* On Tuesday, Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City Mayoral election, capping off a stunning campaign that saw him emerge from relative obscurity to defeat incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and perennial Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani campaigned on making New York City buses fast and free, opening municipal grocery stores, implementing universal childcare, and ordering the NYPD to arrest the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. Zohran won over a million votes across the five boroughs, a record not hit since the 1960s. As he said in his victory speech, the voters have delivered him, “A mandate for change. ​​A mandate for a new kind of politics. A mandate for a city we can afford. And a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that.”* Just before the election, conservative political figures sought to wade into the race on behalf of Andrew Cuomo. President Donald Trump wrote, New Yorkers “really have no choice,” but to vote for Cuomo because “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins…it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds…to my beloved first home,” per Reuters. Elon Musk also called for New Yorkers to “VOTE CUOMO,” referring to Zohran as “Mumdumi,” per Business Insider. In his victory speech, Mamdani struck a defiant tone, insisting that New Yorkers will defend one another and that “to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.” Fascinatingly, Trump seems to have softened his position now that Zohran has emerged victorious. ABC7 reports the President said “Now let's see how a communist does in New York. We're going to see how that works out, and we'll help him. We'll help him. We want New York to be successful.”* Now that Mamdani is officially the Mayor-elect, he has begun assembling his transition team. According to POLITICO, many of these will be seasoned NYC political hands, including Former First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer and president of United Way of New York City, Grace Bonilla. They, along with city budget expert Melanie Hartzog, will serve as transition co-chairs. Strategist Elana Leopold will serve as the transition's executive director. More eye-catching for outside observers is another name: former Biden Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan. Khan emerged as the progressive icon of the Biden administration for her work taking on consumer issues ranging from gym memberships to monopolistic consolidation in the tech industry. Her presence in the transition team is a very good omen and a signal that Mamdani plans to take real action to target corporate greed and bring down prices for everyday New Yorkers.* Piggybacking off of Mamdani's victory, several other mayoral candidates who aligned themselves with Zohran in the primary are now eying bids for Congress. Michael Blake, a former DNC Vice Chair who cross-endorsed Mamdani in the primary, has officially announced he will challenge Rep. Ritchie Torres in New York's 15th Congressional district. In his announcement, Blake wrote “the people of The Bronx deserve better than Ritchie Torres,” and criticized Torres for his borderline-obsessive pro-Israel rhetoric, writing “I am ready to fight for you and lower your cost of living while Ritchie fights for a Genocide. I will focus on Affordable Housing and Books as Ritchie will only focus on AIPAC and Bibi. I will invest in the community. Ritchie invests in Bombs.” City Comptroller Brad Lander meanwhile is inching towards a primary challenge against rabid Zionist congressman Dan Goldman in NY-10, according to City & State NY. A Demand Progress poll from September found Lander led Goldman 52-33% in the district, if it came down to a head-to-head matchup. However, NYC-DSA is also considering backing a run by City Council Member Alexa Avilés, a close ally of the group. Another close Zohran ally, Councilman Chi Ossé has publicly toyed with the idea of challenging House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffres. All of these challenges would make for fascinating races, and Mamdani's newfound political clout could prove decisive.* Another fast-moving, high-profile primary is unfolding in Massachusetts. Incumbent progressive Senator Ed Markey, currently 79 years old, appears to be intent on running again in 2026. Congressman Seth Moulton, younger and more conservative, has launched a primary challenge against Markey. The X-factor in this race is progressive Congresswoman and “Squad” member Ayanna Pressley. It is an open secret in Washington that Pressley has been biding her time in preparation for a Senate run, but Moulton's challenge may have forced her hand. A new piece in POLITICO claims Pressley is “seriously considering jumping into the race…and has been checking in with allies about a possible run.” Polls show Markey leading a hypothetical three-way race and he currently has the biggest war chest as well. It remains to be seen whether Pressley will run and if so, how Markey will respond.* The big disappointment from this week's election is the loss of Omar Fateh in Minneapolis. Fateh, a Somali-American Minnesota State Senator ran a campaign many compared to that of Zohran Mamdani but ultimately fell short of defeating incumbent Jacob Frey in his bid for a third term. Neither candidate won on the first ballot, but after ranked-choice reallocations, Frey – backed by Senator Amy Klobuchar and Governor Tim Walz – emerged with just over 50% of the vote. Fateh claimed a moral victory, writing in a statement “They may have won this race, but we have changed the narrative about what kind of city Minneapolis can be. Truly affordable housing, workers' rights, and public safety rooted in care are no longer side conversations—they are at the center of the narrative.” This from Newsweek.* Overall though, Tuesday was a triumphant night for the Democrats. Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill prevailed in the New Jersey gubernatorial election. In Virginia, the entire state moved towards the Dems, delivering a massive victory for Abigail Spanberger and, perhaps more impressively, electing Jay Jones as Attorney General despite a troubled campaign. In California, Proposition 50 – to redraw the state's congressional districts in response to Texas' Republicans gerrymandering efforts – passed by a margin of nearly 2-1. More surprising victories came in the South. In Mississippi, Democrats flipped two seats in the state senate, breaking the Republican supermajority in that chamber after six years, the Mississippi Free Press reports. The state party called their victory “a historic rebuke of extremism.” Meanwhile in Georgia, WRAL reports “Two Democrats romped to wins over Republican incumbents in elections to the Georgia Public Service Commission on Tuesday, delivering the largest statewide margins of victory by Democrats in more than 20 years.” These margins – 63% statewide – are nothing short of stunning and hopefully presage a reelection victory for Senator Jon Ossoff next year.* In more Georgia news, NOTUS reports Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is gunning for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. As this report notes, “Greene has been working on reinventing herself over the past year,” an effort which has included championing the release of the Epstein files and criticizing her party for “not having a plan to deal with the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of the year.” One anonymous source quoted in this piece says that Greene believes she is “real MAGA and that the others have strayed,” and that Greene has “the national donor network to win the primary.” So far, Greene has vociferously denied these rumors.* Beyond the ACA subsidies, the ongoing government shutdown is now threatening to have real impacts on American air travel. On Wednesday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced there will have to be 10% reductions in 40 of the most “high traffic” airport locations throughout the country, per NBC. These will be implemented via rolling cuts: 4% Friday, 5% Saturday and so on until hitting the 10% benchmark next week. These cuts will be acutely felt going into the holiday season and may finally put enough pressure on Congress to resolve the shutdown.* Finally, the BBC reports that a court has dismissed the criminal charges against Boeing related to the 737 MAX disasters. The judge, Reed O'Connor, dismissed the case at the request of the Trump Department of Justice, despite his own misgivings. Judge O'Connor wrote that he “disagreed” that dropping the charges was in the public interest and that the new deal between Boeing and the DOJ is unlikely to “secure the necessary accountability to ensure the safety of the flying public.” However, Judge O'Connor lacked the authority to override the request. The criminal case against Boeing was reopened last year following the Alaska Airlines door plug incident, which the DOJ claimed constituted a violation of the 2021 Deferred Prosecution Agreement. Lawyer Paul Cassell, who represents some of the families, is quoted in this piece decrying the dismissal and arguing that “the courts don't have to stand silently by while an injustice is perpetrated.” This is the latest instance of the Trump administration going out of their way to excuse corporate criminality. It will not be the last.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Join us at Town Hall Seattle for As Many Weirdos As Possible (AMWAP), an evening of storytelling and portraiture that brings to life one of the most vibrant chapters of the Pacific Northwest music scene (1985-1995). This live program will feature musicians, artists, and community members sharing personal memories, projected alongside their documentary portraits as part of the ongoing AMWAP project. Drawn from Poser Productions' mission to preserve and celebrate personal and cultural histories, this evening invites audiences to engage in a communal reflection on memory, music, identity, and place. Hosted by Nabil Ayers, President of Beggars Group U.S. and author of My Life in the Sunshine, whose work and story are deeply rooted in Seattle's independent music and cultural legacy. Nabil Ayers is a longtime Seattleite who co-founded Sonic Boom Records in 1997 and played drums in several bands — most recently The Long Winters. He now lives in Brooklyn, where he is president of the Beggars Group of record labels. Ayers is the host of the Identified podcast and the author of the memoir My Life in the Sunshine (Viking), which he launched at Town Hall in 2022. He has written about music, race, and family for The New York Times, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, GQ, and NPR. Riz Rollins has loved music since childhood, bringing joy to dance floors from clubs like Re-bar, to parties, parades and festivals. For over thirty-five years, he has shared the music that shaped his life and our community on KEXP. Marco Collins was the guy behind the mic when Seattle accidentally unleashed grunge on the world. As flagship DJ and Music Director at 107.7 The End in the '90s, he helped break bands like Nirvana, Beck, Weezer, and Foo Fighters—shaping the sound of a generation in real time. He's worked across radio, labels, VH1, and stations like KEXP, but what really sets him apart is an obsessive love of music that's never once hit the snooze button. He's also the subject of The Glamour & The Squalor, a documentary chronicling his rise, fall, and refusal to shut up about bands you haven't heard of yet. Steven Severin is co-owner of Neumos, Barboza, The Runaway Bar, and Life on Mars. He has served on Bumbershoot's Advisory Board and worked extensively with the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) to help secure the federal Shuttered Venue Operators Grant that saved independent venues during the COVID pandemic. He recently launched Walk Don't Run, a community art event activating downtown Seattle with music, visual art, and live performance. He's also spent nearly a decade with Save Our Sonics, advocating to bring the SuperSonics back to Seattle. Paul Schurr played bass and sang backup vocals for Flop and Best Kissers in the World in the early 90s. He and his wife have four kids and live in Seattle. Sheila Locke has been a force in Seattle's music scene for over forty years as a DJ, radio host, club owner, artist manager, and co-founder of NASTYMIX Records, original home of Sir Mix-A-Lot. From her first high school gig to breaking national ground with a gold record, she has left an indelible mark on the city's music history. Chenelle "Chelly Chell" Marshall is a writer, poet, and creative spirit. She was a member of The Incredicrew, one of Seattle's earliest rap groups, who signed a multi-album deal with the label Ever Rap. Their single "He's Incredible" became a local hit and a landmark moment in Seattle's music history. Today, Chenelle continues to share her voice through poetry and storytelling and is the author of Poetic Lifeline. Her latest work, Through the Eyes of Her, is available now.

Tom Brady cloned his dog, Dick Cheney died, Sydney Sweeney's weird GQ interview, more evidence Bill Burr is spiraling, a new Bonerline, Kim Kardashian v. NASA, Tish Hyman v. Gold's Gym, and the UPS plane crash. Former Vice President Dick Cheney finally died after 5 heart attacks and one heart transplant. That Iraq war didn't end up so well. Some dude was listening to our show when a stupid deer ran into him. A big UPS plane crash went down in Kentucky and at least 11 people are dead. The New York Jets are selling everything. This little kid cried like a little girl when he found out. Bill Burr is spiraling and his You Tube views are way down. Carrot Top is sparking concern. Tate McRae lip-syncs and tries to deny it, but it's hard to do when the mic is facing the wrong way. Kim Kardashian is the worst actor possibly ever. She had a brain aneurism, but nobody cared because it was old news. She also doesn't believe the Moon landing happened. RIP to Buzz Aldrin's new wife. Tom Brady cloned his dog. Weird. Matt Kalil's weiner is so big it ruined his marriage. Drew rolls through some email… including a story of degenerate hockey player Arthur Kaliyev. Former women's volleyball coach Brett Agne is also a degenerate gambler. Russell Simmons has been making settlements, but the payments aren't going through. He also put out a Harriet Tubman sex tape. Tish Hyman has a problem with swinging dongs in women's locker rooms at Gold's Gym. Mando bring us a brand new Bonerline.

When Cora meets Sam at a baby group in their small town, the chemistry between them is undeniable. Both are happily married young parents with two kids, and neither sees themselves as the type to engage in an affair.

In the other, they resist.As reality splits, the everyday details of Cora's life—her depressing marketing job, her daughter's new fascination with the afterlife, her husband's obsession with podcasts about the history of rope—gain fresh perspective. The intersecting and diverging timelines blur the boundaries of reality and fantasy, questioning what might have been and what truly matters.The Ten Year Affair is a witty, emotionally-charged exploration of marriage, family life, and the roads not taken, that ultimately asks: do we really want our fantasies to come true?

Helen Schulman is an acclaimed novelist, screenwriter, short story writer and New York Times Bestselling author. In my 40th episode, we talk about the concept of "sympathetic happiness", as she shares her impactful encounter with the Dalai Lama many years back.  She was visiting Portland, Oregon for the first time, exploring the city, when she basically stumbled over His Holiness: he was giving a free public audience in Pioneer Square, Helen had never heard him speak before so she stuck around. His topic was "sympathetic happiness". The idea being that if you can join in the happiness of others, your own happiness will multiply. His deceptively simple and profound theories really struck her - she had been teaching grad school for quite awhile by then, and realised that if she could be really happy for her students' successes, if their joy became her joy her life would become fuller and richer and well, happier. She always felt happy for them, but now she could focus on also being happy through them. It was a small good thing that happened to her that day, but it has really affected the rest of her life and her work as an educator.Once Helen understood this concept, it made it easier and more compelling for her to build programs that she thought would help her students reach their dreams, and also, pragmatically, help them find agents and editors, and outside work.Helen also talks about her new book "Fools for Love" that was just published in July during this recording, and she had a book launch at Rizzoli's in New York City. It's a collection of short stories, that she edited and interconnected so that they relate to each other. She also shares how she learned how to waltz from her grandmother, and how she relearned it with her husband last year in a dance class in a beautiful castle in the South of Germany (she wrote a piece about this for the Condé Nast Traveller).HELEN SCHULMAN is a novelist, screenwriter and short story writer. A collection of stories, Fools for Love, has been published by Knopf in July 2025. Prior to publication, the title story was published in The Atlantic. Her newest novel, Lucky Dogs, was one of Oprah Daily's top ten novels of 2023. She is also the author of the novels Come With Me (San Francisco Chronicle ten best books of 2019) This Beautiful Life (a New York Times and International Best Seller), A Day At The Beach, P.S., (made into a motion picture starring Laura Linney, Gabriel Byrne, Paul Rudd and Marcia Gay Harden, for which Professor Schulman has a screenwriting credit), The Revisionist and Out Of Time (Barnes and Noble Discovery), and the short story collection Not A Free Show. She co-edited the anthology Wanting A Child with Jill Bialosky. Her fiction and non-fiction have appeared in such places as Vanity Fair, Time, Vogue, GQ, The New York Times Book Review, A Public Space and The Paris Review. She is the Fiction Chair at The Writing Program at The New School where she is a tenured Professor of Writing. She is also the Executive Director of WriteOnNYC.com. A 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, Professor Schulman has been a NYFA Fellow, Sundance Fellow, Aspen Words Fellow, a Tennessee Williams Fellow (Columbia University) and the recipient of a Pushcart Prize.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

RUNDOWN   Is Mitch secretly a MOBSTER? The guys ride the high of a Seahawks blowout while fretting an Earnest Jones IV injury and torching D.C.'s awful turf, then rip through birthday/lore nuggets. An unforgettable World Series finish, seen through a Seattle lens—taking petty joy in Toronto's collapse while admitting Game 7 (and the under-discussed, error-filled Game 6) will haunt Mariners fans for years. Then it's all Seahawks: a near-perfect beatdown in D.C., vintage throwback uniforms, and why John Schneider should chase help at WR/OL/LB before the deadline. Mitch, Brady, and Jacson break down Seattle's 38–14 primetime rout of Washington — a game where both sides of the ball finally clicked. They discuss Sam Darnold's near-perfect night (one of only four 97+ QBRs in the NFL this season — three belonging to him), Mike Macdonald's astounding 11–1 road record, and the play-calling brilliance driving the offense. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to break down a wild week in college football — from the bloated buyouts fueling a $160 million coaching carousel to Washington's unlikely playoff path. The two dive into quarterback drama, "alma mater alimony," and the rise of dual-threat sensation Demond Williams, before wrapping with Taco Time's weekly honors — including a nod to Oklahoma's kicker and his unforgettable Daisy Duke game-day look. Christian Caple joins Mitch to assess the Huskies' 6–2 season and the playoff math that could still put Washington in the 12-team field if they run the table. He breaks down the defense's ability to hang with Oregon, the tricky stretch at UCLA, and how Jed Fish's success could make him a hot-commodity coach with a star quarterback in tow.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Christian Caple | UW Football Insider, On Montlake   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Gets Mistaken for a Mobster, Hotshot's Arrest-Video Obsession, and a Giddy Seahawks Sunday 20:12 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 27:48 | Mariners Heartbreak, Dodgers Relief, and a Seahawks Surge with Trade-Deadline Stakes 46:58 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Dominate in D.C. — Darnold's Surge, McDonald's Mastery, and a 6–2 Statement 1:09:20 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; on the Coaching Carousel, Playoff Chaos, and the Short Shorts Heard 'Round the Nation 1:41:08 | GUEST: Christian Caple: on Washington's Playoff Chances, Jed Fish's Future, and the Rise of Demond Williams Jr. 2:04:56 | Other Stuff Segment: NFL 68-yard field goal record (JAX kicker Cam Little), NBA gambling/poker scandal (prop bets, x-ray glasses, star player tax lien), Pittsburgh radio host loses bet and gets nipple piercings, Scott Woodward's AD buyout saga (Jimbo Fisher, Brian Kelly, LSU governor, Woodward payout), Robert Englund gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star (Freddy Krueger story), Adrian Peterson's latest DWI and weapon arrest, Phil Mickelson insider-info case echoes 2016 SEC probe, RIPs: Bob Trumpy — Bengals TE/longtime NBC broadcaster (80), Carol Davis — Raiders co-owner, widow of Al Davis (93), Yoervis Medina — former Mariners/Cubs pitcher (37), Nick Mangold — former Jets center (41), Ace Frehley — original KISS guitarist, Dwayne Roberts — inventor of the frozen burrito (88), HEADLINEs: Breathing through our butts proven safe — Mitch Levy's been talking out his ass for years, GQ says "Nut Maxers" aim for maximum output — I was hoping it was a candy bar, MSN reports boob jobs are shrinking — so no more inflation, Detroit cop appears pantless in court — didn't stand up well, Customers sue On shoes for squeaks — my mom should've sued my dad first.
