First Officer Ryan Argenta welcomes back Hotel Committee Chair First Officer Steve Koffler for a fast, funny, and genuinely useful tour of the layover landscape. From a brand-new Park Hyatt in Marrakech to upcoming hotel previews in Hong Kong, Melbourne, Grenada, and St. Vincent, Steve shares what's new, what's next, and what pilots should know. We cover Honolulu's temporary shift to Hilton Hawaiian Village, Tokyo's potential hotel shuffle, LA's beach-city ambitions, San Diego's pending refresh, and the big headline: Amsterdam's full exit from “you-know-where” and into a far stronger lineup. Practical intel included: why FCRs beat DARTs for hotel feedback, the curbside 20-minute rule (self-help and expense it), when combined crew shuttles are legit, and how to spy your hotel in bid packages. Plus, a cameo of Steve's PG-13 rap origin story. This episode is rare: equal parts updates, tips, and laughs - no lobby naps required.

SHOW 10-25-27 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT PAKISTAN FIRST HOUR 9-915 Afghan-Pakistan Peace Talks and the Imprisonment of Imran Khan. Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss Afghan-Pakistan peace talks, which are unlikely to achieve long-term peace as Pakistan feels "cocky." Trump's efforts are seen as ironic, given the issues stemming from the Doha agreement. Discussion turns to Imran Khan's imprisonment; the military fears his party's survival and aims to keep him from power. China's financial support for Pakistan is also noted as flagging. 915-930 Afghan-Pakistan Peace Talks and the Imprisonment of Imran Khan. Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss Afghan-Pakistan peace talks, which are unlikely to achieve long-term peace as Pakistan feels "cocky." Trump's efforts are seen as ironic, given the issues stemming from the Doha agreement. Discussion turns to Imran Khan's imprisonment; the military fears his party's survival and aims to keep him from power. China's financial support for Pakistan is also noted as flagging. 930-945 Israel Seeks Reliable Multinational Force to Prevent Hamas Resurgence in Gaza. David Daoud discusses Israel's primary concern regarding a multinational force in Gaza: ensuring its reliability to prevent Hamas's resurgence or rearmament. Hamas is reasserting control and slow-rolling the recovery of remaining hostages' bodies to establish the ceasefire. US drones monitor adherence to the ceasefire. Israel has ended the emergency status in the south, signaling a slow return to normal life. 945-1000 Iran Defies West on Nuclear Program Despite Loss of Key Scientists. Jonathan Schanzer discusses Iran's defiant nuclear program, noting the procurement of air defense systems from Russia and China is debatable. A major setback has been the loss of nuclear scientists due to targeted assassinations. Iran is heavily supporting the Houthis (now a full proxy), sending ballistic missile components and IRGC officials to help assemble them in Yemen. Snapback sanctions' impact on Iran's partnerships with Russia and China remains uncertain. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Hamas Slow-Rolls Hostage Returns to Avoid Disarmament, as Iran Remains Defiant. Malcolm Hoenlein discusses Hamas's slow-rolling of deceased hostage returns to avoid disarmament, a key condition of the peace talks. He notes Iran remains defiant, reconstituting its nuclear program at sites like Tehran 2 and using Georgia to evade sanctions. The discussion also covers the naming of a successor for PA President Abbas and highlights Javier Milei's landslide victory in Argentina as a stabilizing factor in South America. 1015-1030 Hamas Slow-Rolls Hostage Returns to Avoid Disarmament, as Iran Remains Defiant. Malcolm Hoenlein discusses Hamas's slow-rolling of deceased hostage returns to avoid disarmament, a key condition of the peace talks. He notes Iran remains defiant, reconstituting its nuclear program at sites like Tehran 2 and using Georgia to evade sanctions. The discussion also covers the naming of a successor for PA President Abbas and highlights Javier Milei's landslide victory in Argentina as a stabilizing factor in South America. 1030-1045 Russia Tests Nuclear Missile Amid Tough Winter and Increased US Sanctions. John Hardie analyzes Russia's reported successful test of the nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile. This test is likely aimed at pressuring the US into arms control talks, rather than impacting the Ukraine battlefield. On the ground, the situation in Pokrovsk has deteriorated due to Russian infiltration. The US has shifted from diplomacy to pressure, imposing sanctions on major Russian oil companies. 1045-1100 Anti-Hamas Clans and Militias Challenge Hamas's Control in Gaza. Ahmad Sharawi discusses the challenge to Hamas's power in Gaza by anti-Hamas clans and militias, some allegedly backed by Israel. Groups like the Dughmush clan and Yasser Abu Shabbab's Popular Forces contest Hamas's control and monopolization of aid. Hamas deters these rivals, labeling them "collaborators," as Gaza fragments into controlled pockets or "bantustans." THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Poised to De-escalate Trade Dispute with Trump. Conrad Black analyzes the US-Canada trade dispute ignited by Ontario Premier Doug Ford's ad criticizing US tariffs. Black notes that while Ford was "cheeky," President Trump overreacted by suspending negotiations and mandating 10% tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney, seen as a diplomatic and well-informed figure, is expected to de-escalate the issue and work toward a reasonable agreement at the upcoming Asian conference. 1115-1130 AQAP Targets Anti-Houthi Forces Amidst Cooperation with Houthis and Iran. Bridget Toomey reports on AQAP's attack on anti-Houthi Yemeni soldiers. AQAP and the Houthis have an informal non-aggression agreement, sometimes cooperating on weapon smuggling. Iran supplies advanced arms to the Houthis and has maintained a relationship with al-Qaeda leadership for two decades. This cooperation, despite sectarian differences, aims to destabilize Yemen and the region. 1130-1145 Milei's Libertarian Win in Argentina Signals 'MAGA Tide' in Latin America. Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo analyze Javier Milei's decisive win in Argentina, viewing it as a model for Latin America and a victory for Donald Trump. The result signals a reduction of the "pink tide" and emergence of a "MAGA tide." Trump is leveraging trade talks to pressure Brazil's President Lula da Silva regarding Bolsonaro and alignment with China, reconfiguring power in the region. 1145-1200 Milei's Libertarian Win in Argentina Signals 'MAGA Tide' in Latin America. Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo analyze Javier Milei's decisive win in Argentina, viewing it as a model for Latin America and a victory for Donald Trump. The result signals a reduction of the "pink tide" and emergence of a "MAGA tide." Trump is leveraging trade talks to pressure Brazil's President Lula da Silva regarding Bolsonaro and alignment with China, reconfiguring power in the region. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Pressure on Xi Jinping May Lead to Release of Jimmy Lai. Mark Simon is encouraged that President Trump plans to raise the fate of persecuted publisher Jimmy Lai with Xi Jinping. Simon believes China must resolve the "Jimmy Lai problem" but will likely demand concessions, such as sanctions relief. Lai's release, potentially via a humanitarian or commuted sentence route, would pave the way for the release of hundreds of other Hong Kong dissidents. 1215-1230 Trump's Tariff Policy Gains Victory in Trade Truce with China. Alan Tonelson assesses the US-China trade truce, viewing it as a major victory for President Trump's tariff policies. China agreed to delay rare earth export controls and buy US farm goods. This move is seen as desperate by Xi Jinping, whose economy is undermined by US technology curbs. China's predatory practices defined the relationship until Trump decided to use American leverage. 1230-1245 vUS Tariffs Drive Canada Toward Greater Economic Integration with China. Charles Burton discusses how US tariff aggression, fueled by Premier Doug Ford quoting Ronald Reagan to criticize US trade policy, is pushing Canada toward China. The uncertainty over Trump's response makes negotiating difficult, prompting speculation Canada may renew free trade talks with Beijing, remove investment restrictions, and possibly join the Belt and Road Initiative. 1245-100 AM Trump Demands Higher Defense Spending from New Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi. Lance Gatling reports on President Trump's visit to Tokyo and his meeting with the new Prime Minister, Takaichi. Trump is expected to demand increased defense spending. Takaichi plans to accelerate doubling the defense budget to 2% of GDP. A major concern is Trump asking Japan to stop buying energy from Russia, which supplies Japanese LNG. Takaichi enjoys surprisingly strong domestic support.

This week on Wrestling Omakase we've got another packed trip around most of the Japanese wrestling world! John is joined by returning guest Snazzy from Joshi ing Around & Social Suplex as they start things out with Marigold's enormous Shine Forever show from Ryogoku, which they both agree was the fledgling promotion's very best show of all time so far! They discuss a stacked top of the lineup featuring the first Io Shirai vs. Mayu Iwatani match in well over seven years, a very divisive red belt match with a shocking finish, a white belt match they both have lots of praise for and a whole lot more. Plus some thoughts on the attendance and a lot of hot takes about recent joshi discourse and a lot more!Then they head over to STARDOM to talk about two more shows from the World Wonder Ring- Starlight Kid's 10th anniversary show from Shinjuku FACE on 10/20 and the 10/27 Korakuen. They discuss the insubstantial but amusing SLK anniversary show and then a Korakuen show that was pretty average all things considered. They also discuss where things could be headed with Saya & Momo and again make fun of some very, very dumb takes. The joshi portion of the podcast wraps up with Tokyo Joshi's own 10/18 Korakuen as they talk a great Princess of Princess title match, QUIZ SHOWS, new foreigners and more!The men's wrestling portion kicks off with DDT's 10/19 Korakuen show featuring both the regular and six-man tag titles on the line, as they also give a brief preview of next Monday's Ultimate Party show (also from Ryogoku). Finally, they end the show with AJPW's 10/22 Korakuen, as John again is less than enthused with the current state of Zen Nihon.Joshi ing around podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5vEhF921sFtprCxTsWhqt6?si=d1da6785766042cdFollow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: http://twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The New York Times isn't just a newspaper; it's a cultural institution, a daily habit, and a brand that has reinvented itself for every generation. That's why in this episode, we're taking lessons from their playbook with the help of our special guest Avery Akkineni, Chief Marketing Officer of VaynerX.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building credibility into daily routines, using gamification and surprise to drive engagement, and picking the right moments to move fast while staying relevant.About our guest, Avery AkkineniA pioneer in digital marketing and emerging tech, Avery Akkineni spearheads brand strategy, content, events, and communications as Chief Marketing Officer at VaynerX.In seven years at Vayner, Avery has catalyzed exponential growth by launching new companies and leading international expansion. She built VaynerMedia APAC from the ground up to over 150 employees in two years, opened key Asia Pacific markets like Singapore, Bangkok, Sydney, and Tokyo.

Under her leadership, Vayner3 achieved significant industry acclaim; she was named an Ad Age Web3 Trailblazer, and an AI Thought Leader by Business Insider. Her proven ability to identify and leverage leading-edge channels to drive growth for Vayner and her brand partners has landed Avery advisory roles including Salesforce's AI Council, Meta's Creative Council, TikTok's #ForYouCollective, Tracer's Advisory Board, and with a weekly marketers podcast on CoinDesk (GenC).Based in Miami, FL overseeing VaynerX's local office, Avery continues to push boundaries in marketing. She is a sought-after speaker on modern marketing and digital innovation, who empowers teams and companies to embrace new opportunities. She also serves on the Board of Peace Players, an organization using the power of sport to build peaceful and thriving communities.What B2B Companies Can Learn From The New York Times:Build credibility into daily routines. The New York Times succeeds because it has become a trusted part of people's everyday habits. For B2B brands, the lesson is to earn that same consistent place in your audience's workflow. As Avery explains:“To me, the credibility of The New York Times is why I want to check there first and understand their point of view. What are the big stories of today.” When buyers trust your perspective enough to seek it daily, your brand moves from optional to indispensable.Use gamification and surprise to drive engagement. NYT didn't just sell news—it made puzzles, games, and even cooking content part of its brand fabric. That levity created stickiness. Avery puts it this way: “The New York Times integration with their incredible games has really helped drive up that frequency… I play with my friends, everybody shares their scores… and I think that really drives up that frequency and user adoption and makes The New York Times even more relevant.” In B2B, “serious” brands can still add fun, surprise, or delight to deepen connection and engagement.Pick your moments and move fast. The Times doesn't try to beat TikTok on breaking news—it chooses credibility as its edge, while still responding with speed when it matters. Avery notes:“You don't need to have a thought on everything. You have a thought on certain things—what matters for you and, as a brand, what matters for your consumers. Either we're part of the conversation or we're not.” For B2B, that means defining the moments where your voice is essential, and showing up quickly with relevance and confidence.Quote“ You don't need to have a thought on everything. You have a thought on certain things—what matters for you and as a brand, what matters for your consumers. Either we're part of the conversation or we're not.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Avery Akkineni, Chief Marketing Officer of VaynerX01:05 Why The New York Times?01:53 The Role of CMO at VaynerX02:42 Gary Vaynerchuk's Influencer09:51 Behind-the-Scenes of NYT25:58 B2B Marketing Lessons from NYT38:35 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Avery on LinkedInLearn more about VaynerXAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

En 1975, on en a écouté des trucs incroyables à la radio et chez le disquaire. C'est vrai, un sur deux parmi nous est allé acheter un album de Pink Floyd, on a entendu tout l'été Le Sud de Nino Ferrer, I'm not in love de 10cc et bien sûr, L'Été indien de Joe Dassin. Et puis, en vrac, on a découvert un chanteur espagnol, improbable … Manuela, un comique français … Le schmilblick, et des Allemands qui jouent sur des machines … Autobahn. Mais voilà qu'à la fin de l'année, alors qu'un soir, on joue aux cartes avec mon frère en écoutant l'unique émission de rock à la radio, on entend ceci … Bohemian Rhapsody.Alors, faut bien dire une chose, des gars qui mélangent la musique classique et le rock, depuis les Beatles, on connaît, c'est même devenu une mode énorme, on appelle ça le rock progressif : de Yes à Pink Floyd, justement, en passant par Genesis et Deep Purple, cette musique fait un carton. Et c'est une spécialité britannique. Mais là, cette façon que ces gars ont d'y amener l'opéra, non sans humour, et que cela donne un résultat aussi aérien que percutant, non, on n'a jamais entendu un truc pareil. Autant dire qu'on n'a pas trop fait attention à notre jeu jusqu'à la fin de cet improbable Bohemian Rhapsody, joué par un groupe dont on n'a pas encore entendu parler au fond de notre province. On apprendra les jours suivants qu'ils n'en sont pas à leur coup d'essai, c'est leur quatrième album, ils sont déjà des stars au Royaume-Uni et se sont même fendus d'un concert, confidentiel, dans une petite salle bruxelloise l'année précédente. Et oui, les informations ne circulaient pas de la même façon à l'époque, ce qui apportait une part de mystère à la musique. D'ailleurs, le parcours de Queen, en cette fin novembre 1975 où ils sortent un album intitulé A night at the opera, Une nuit à l'opéra, d'après le titre d'un film burlesque des Marx Brothers, leur parcours, donc, a été long et pénible.Car un an plus tôt, avec ce qui est déjà un deuxième tube dans son pays d'origine, le groupe Queen débarque au Japon où ses membres découvrent qu'ils sont des énormes stars. La preuve : à la différence des autres artistes, ils ne vont pas simplement jouer à Tokyo mais parcourir le pays, en tournée. Dès l'aéroport, ils sont accueillis par des fans qui hurlent leur nom. Freddie Mercury en a le vertige mais en même temps la confirmation qu'ils ne se sont pas trompés de route : Queen est vraiment le meilleur groupe du moment. D'ailleurs le premier concert à Tokyo est interrompu par une horde de jeunes qui arrivent à monter sur scène. Alors, quand en rentrant chez eux, les quatre musiciens en reviennent à leur précarité : impossible de louer un appart décent dans Londres, s'acheter une voiture, même en se mettant à genoux devant leurs producteurs. Ils décident donc de tout foutre en l'air. Ça va se traduire par un album en guise de mue, le papillon va s'envoler avec une chanson dans laquelle, évidemment, personne ne voit venir, ni leurs producteurs, ni leur firme de disques. Queen est le seul à croire en sa destinée et pourtant, cinquante ans plus tard, leur chanson se trouve toujours sur la première marche du podium des titres que vous préférez.
A.M. Edition for Oct. 27. President Trump touches down in Tokyo, following a busy weekend in Malaysia that included trade agreements with several nations. Plus, Javier Milei scores a decisive victory in Argentina, which WSJ's Chelsey Dulaney says will allow talks to continue on a multi-billion aid package for the struggling country. And, American women's pay is falling, with return-to-office mandates possibly to blame. Caitlin McCabe hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter. Learn more about your ad choices.

President Donald Trump was greeted by Japan's Emperor Naruhito at the Imperial Palace in the heart of Tokyo on Monday, as part of the president's Asia trip aimed at securing trade deals, investment, and increased defense spending. Trump will meet with Japan's new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, on Tuesday.A U.S. Navy MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter and an F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter jet went down in the South China Sea in two separate incidents on Sunday. All five personnel involved in the two incidents—three onboard the helicopter and two onboard the fighter jet—were recovered safely. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said the crashes could have been caused by “bad fuel.” He ruled out foul play and said there was nothing to hide.
Day 27 – Episode 177: Ju-On: The Grudge (2002)On Day 27 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo to discuss Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) — Takashi Shimizu's chilling tale of a curse born from rage that infects anyone who enters its haunted Tokyo home. While I respect the film's legacy as one of the defining J-horror classics, I can't help but feel a bit of déjà vu this week — so many titles on my list explore similar territory of ghosts, curses, and eerie VHS-era hauntings. Still, Ju-On remains a masterclass in atmosphere, with its disjointed storytelling, pale-faced specters, and bone-cracking sound design that creeps under your skin long after it's over.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

We presenteren jou een nieuwe episode van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over het laatste nieuws uit de wereld van de videogames. Zoals altijd vergezeld van een duidelijke mening. We zijn immers Gamekings. Koos is op deze herfstige maandag bij JJ aangeschoven om een aantal topics te bespreken. Bijvoorbeeld de aankondiging van de remake van de allereerste Halo game: Combat Evolved. Hoe viel die aankondiging? Halo-fan Koos heeft daar natuurlijk een mening over. Dan is daar Warner Bros dat te koop staat. Mensen wezen al naar Sony. Zou de game-divisie van het bedrijf niet interessant zijn PlayStation? Het antwoord op die vraag kwam dit weekend. Dit en meer onderwerpen krijg je te zien en te horen in de Gamekings Daily van woensdag 27 oktober 2025.De remake van Halo: Combat Evolved zonder een multiplayer???Dat er een nieuwe Halo-game zou worden aangekondigd tijdens de Halo World Championships was een zekerheid. We wisten alleen niet welke game dat zou zijn en of het wel een 'nieuwe' titel zou betreffen. Het antwoord is dus 'geen nieuwe'. Het wordt de remake van Halo: Combat Evolved, die nu, wink wink, Campaign Evolved gedoopt is. Wat kunnen we deze titel verwachten? Wat is er allemaal nieuw en hoe waren de reacties? Ook op het feit dat de Master Chief naar de PS5 zou komen? Dat zou in dat geval meteen een einde maken aan de console wars. JJ en Koos gaan er het gesprek over aan in deze video.Waar gaat de nieuwe roadtrip van Gamekings naartoe?Andere onderwerpen in deze editie van Gamekings Daily zijn de vraag of er morgen (28 oktober) nu wel of niet een Batlle Royale-mode voor Battlefield 6 komt of niet. Wat denken de twee heren en basis waarvan denken ze dat? Plus, we onthullen het ‘best bewaarde geheim' in het Nederlandse gamemedia landschap. Namelijk de bestemming van de komende Gamekings road trip. Het gaat anders worden dan de trip naar Tokyo, maar daarom zeker niet minder. Vanaf 8 november een maand lang keihard op je beeldbuis.
Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door SteelSeries. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen. SteelSeries heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site.Het voelt behoorlijk herfstig buiten en de bladeren dwarrelen om ons heen. Ideaal weer om lekker in de auto, op je werk of thuis warm en beschut een nieuwe editie van Brievenmaandag te aanschouwen of beluisteren. Drie presentatoren, te weten Huey, JJ en Koos nemen plaats achter desk om al jouw prangende vragen te gaan beantwoorden. Bijvoorbeeld of we al weten of er een nieuwe Red Dead Redemption aankomt, het (te) enge aspect van Resident Evil 7 en het waarom van het verwijderen van de Call of Duty maps uit Battlefield 6. De antwoorden op al deze vragen en meer krijg je in de aflevering van Brievenmaandag van maandag 27 oktober 2025.Wanneer komt Red Dead Redemption 3 uit?Zoals bij elke editie van Brievenmaandag zijn er ook deze week een paar technische vragen. Bijvoorbeeld over controllers voor de Switch 2 en de benodigde specs om te kunnen video editten op een PC.De onthulling van de bestemming en het doel van de nieuwe roadtripIn deze editie onthullen we het ‘best bewaarde geheim' in het Nederlandse gamemedia landschap. Namelijk de bestemming van de komende Gamekings roadtrip. Het gaat anders worden dan de trip naar Tokyo, maar daarom, wat ons betreft, zeker niet minder. Vanaf 8 november een maand lang op je beeldbuis.Check de brute Arctis Nova Elite van SteelSeries: de eerste Hi-Res koptelefoon voor gaming ter wereldSteelSeries staat bekend om het maken van goede headsets voor gamers.

トランプ米大統領の来日を控え、警備する警視庁の警察官ら、27日午後、東京都千代田区トランプ米大統領の来日に合わせ、警視庁は最大約1万8000人の警察官を動員し、滞在先や米大使館を含め、都内の重要施設周辺などの警戒を強化している。 Tokyo is under tight security for U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Japan from Monday, with up to some 18,000 police officers mobilized at key locations, including his accommodations and the U.S. Embassy.
A spooky welcome to Episode 104 of The Last Standee Podcast! This episode we explore curses, critters and cursed critters which also curse you! But let us get our curse-words (Inigo Montoya vibes here: you keep saying that word - I don't think it means what you think it means) sorted! First, there's our Standee Catch-up with Cara and Alessio, then Alessio breaks ice with Eternal Decks, an excellent scenario-based coop card game by Hiroken seeing first reprint right these days, then Cara goes with Here to Slay, the Unstable Unicorns sequel that nods a bit to Munchkin (but also has some good things going its way). Finally, Alessio and Cara talk about King of Tokyo Duel, the last (next to last, now that Essen SPIEL has come and gone there's Mindbug King of Tokyo) iteration of the franchise, which brings some very welcome fresh air to the known and loved concept of the game. And I think here we are: there are cards, combos, critters and curses - episode's done! See you next episode!

Le dernier Masters 1000 de la saison est sur le point de démarrer ! A partir de cette année, changement de lieu, direction Nanterre et Paris La Défense Arena. Mis à part Djokovic forfait, le plateau est somptueux et le suspens total puisqu'il reste 5 places à délivrer avant le Masters de Turin. Absent depuis son titre à Tokyo, Carlos Alcaraz fait son retour, Jannik Sinner, est lui bien présent. La finale est-elle connue d'avance ? Une surprise peut-elle arriver ? Quid de nos français ? Nos prédictions dans "Sans Filet". Dans la 2e partie, on évoquera les tops et les flops… avec une flopée d'abandons et de forfaits à Bâle et Vienne puisque Auger-Aliassime, Shapovalov et Griekspoor n'ont pas passé les quarts de finale et on se projettera sur les pronos. Débats, tactiques et pronostics avec Romain Favril, Benoit Maylin et Julien Pichené
“When I crossed that finish line and ripped my shirt off, I was like, ‘Yeah!' That was one of my best moments… It was a dream come true, something that I've been wanting for years. I've dreamt about that moment and I finally got that moment!”Our guest today is Oblique Seville — the new 100-meter world champion and the man who brought Jamaica back to the top of men's sprinting. On a humid night in Tokyo in September, Seville ran 9.77 to win his first global title, the fastest championship final in six years, and the first for a Jamaican man since Usain Bolt. It was a performance years in the making and the fulfillment of potential we'd seen flashes of since he was 21 and running 9.86 for fourth place at the World Championships.In past championships, it was always something — an injury here, a tight groin there, or a perfect semifinal that came one race too soon. But this year was different with two big Diamond League wins, a healthy buildup and a conviction that his time had come. He said in the mixed zone: ‘This is my year. I'm going to take this moment and no one is going to take it away from me.'In this episode, we talk about how he finally made it happen — the lessons learned from setbacks, the mentorship of coach Glen Mills, and what it means to carry Jamaica's legacy forward after Bolt.Oblique Seville isn't loud, and he doesn't need to be. His running does all the talking. Without further ado, please welcome – the world's fastest man.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Oblique Seville | @obliqueseville on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

This week, Mike Zaccheo and moderator Justin Walter dive deep into Delta SkyMiles after highlighting an inspiring post from Karen, a solo traveler in her 60s who completed a 3-week, around-the-world business- and first-class trip using 326K AA and Virgin miles plus $8.2K in cash for a journey valued at ~$22K. Her itinerary spanned NYC, Tel Aviv, Paris, Tokyo, and Phoenix, with smooth connections, Hyatt stays on points, and carry-on-only travel. She earned 38K miles back and proved that with planning, persistence, and a good points strategy, major bucket-list trips are possible at any age.In the news, Citi launched the new AAdvantage Globe Mastercard, while Hyatt refreshed its personal card offer . JetBlue announced Mosaic status changes for 2026—more benefits for top elites but fewer perks for lower tiers—while SkyTeam expanded lounge access to 70+ domestic lounges, excluding Delta's own Elite Plus members. The main topic explored how Delta SkyMiles has evolved into a dynamic, spend-based loyalty program where Amex partnerships play a key role. Although miles never expire, the lack of an award chart creates unpredictable pricing, making partner bookings (Air France, Virgin Atlantic) and flash sales the best value opportunities. The hosts discussed Delta's Medallion tiers, MQD rules, and the shifting role of Sky Clubs as Amex access limits tighten, noting that Delta increasingly positions itself as a “premium brand.” Their advice: always compare award prices across partner programs before redeeming and also evaluate miles vs cash prices.Links To Topics DiscussedNew Citi AAdvantage Globe CardHyatt Credit Card Offer with Double Elite NightsJetBlue Elite Status ChangesSkyTeam Elite Lounge Access ChangesWhere to Find Us The Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.

Just in time for Halloween, we're hosting a virtual hauntology reading group (specifically, hauntology the music genre) at 4pm ET next Thursday, October 30. If you want to join in, sign up for a paid subscription, or toss a few bucks into our haunted tip jar, and we'll send you the readings and a link to log into the conversation. We hope it'll be the first of more group reading sessions to come.We spend a lot of time here talking about the structural forces that turned pop culture into an endless churn of sequels, remakes, and nostalgia plays. But what if the blame for our current “creative recession” lies on more than just economics or platforms? What if our cultural values themselves have shifted in ways that make true innovation harder to sustain?That's the focus of Blank Space: A Cultural History of the Twenty-First Century, the forthcoming book from Tokyo-based culture critic W. David Marx—and probably the first major exhaustive account of the last 25 years in music, film/TV, internet culture, and fashion. He doesn't just look at the technological, political, and economic forces that that created a winner-take-all landscape where billionaires and centi-millionaires like Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Paris Hilton, MrBeast, Jay-Z and frankly Donald Trump took up all of the cultural oxygen in the room, making it harder and harder for the next generation of innovators to break through. He zeroes in on the cultural attitudes that have led us here—and that set us apart from our 20th-century forebears—including poptimism, the valorization of entrepreneurial heroism, cultural omnivorism, and more.In addition to Blank Space, David the author of the mega-influential books Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change and Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style. He joins us to talk about the mind-boggling task of summing up the past quarter-century of culture, and why most of the coolest, most innovative outputs ended up getting pushed to the margins. We also get into what originality means in a climate of constant churn, and why he believes that fighting for it is still important, even in a postmodern landscape where “everything has already been done.”Finally, David makes the case that building a healthier cultural ecosystem starts with changing our cultural attitudes. That means embracing and reinforcing social norms that have fallen to the wayside in the past quarter century, like normalizing giving credit to smaller artists, learning the canon so we can break it, and yes, making it lame to sell out again.Pre-order Blank Space, which is out November 18 via Penguin Random House.
