We're wrapping up Tyler McKenzie's episodes as he continues to take questions from the Patreon Peeps. Tyler talks about his special bond with the Charlotte arts community, his experience go-go dancing for the legendary Trixie Mattel, and we won't call it a comeback but Janet Jackson is performing again and you need to get yourself there to experience it. We also had to take some time to discuss the pure magic that was the start of the Philip Tour. It was such a moment in time and it was very, very special for a lot of people - and not just for the people in it. For Tyler, the Philip Company will always be home, and he talks a lot about community, boundaries, and relationships *outside* of work. This is still a series about reflection so Tyler very honestly talks about what it's like to leave a show that wasn't just artistically fulfilling, challenging in all the ways, and an unparalleled learning experience but let's get real: he spent eight years answering that horrifying "so what are you up to?!" question by saying: "I'm in Hamilton." I mean come on! That's one of the biggest flexes there is! But now Tyler is left wondering: who is he without Hamilton? How does he feel significant and strong without using a brand? The good news is that this recording is not Tyler's first time reflecting or meditating on any of these questions so don't worry, there's a plan and it's an awesome. (Two hints: Bali and yoga).

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has made headlines yet again with the surprise release of his new album SWAG II, which dropped at midnight on September 5, 2025. This release comes just two months after his seventh studio album SWAG arrived in July, marking his most prolific period since his 2021 project Justice. SWAG II is not a typical sequel; it's a sprawling, 44-track reissue packed with 23 bonus songs, instantly capturing attention both for its size and its blend of styles from trap to R&B and even spiritual reflection. Major outlets like Good Morning America and Elle have spotlighted the album's midnight release, while music sites note that Bieber teased its arrival with a series of Instagram posts and dramatic billboards lighting up places like Times Square and even Iceland, where much of the album was reportedly recorded.Critically, SWAG and SWAG II have reasserted Bieber's pop dominance after his brief hiatus and the blockbuster sale of his music catalog in 2023. SWAG debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, hitting nearly 200 million streams out of the gate. The lead single Daisies also arrived strong at number two on the Hot 100 and became his 27th top ten single in the US, tying him with legends like Janet Jackson. Notably, the new tracks make direct references to his family life, with Mother in You being his first song to explicitly mention his son Jack, born in August 2024. Lines about Jack and wife Hailey in songs like this have drawn fan and media attention, especially as divorce rumors have circled the couple. Bieber seems to tackle these tabloid narratives head-on with heartfelt lyrics that emphasize stability and devotion.On the public appearance front, both Justin and Hailey Bieber skipped the high-profile MTV VMAs this week, despite his Best Pop Artist nomination, instead opting to celebrate the album's release privately in New York with family. Paparazzi last spotted them together with baby Jack shortly after SWAG II's debut, and Elle reports they shared new family photos on social media, fueling the wholesome narrative.Beyond music, Bieber is publicly supporting Hailey's business as Rhode, her skincare and makeup line, launches in Sephora stores across North America. He posted about Rhode's expansion using lyrics from his new music, underscoring the crossover between his family, business, and creative life. Hailey meanwhile continues to speak openly about motherhood's impact, recently telling Vogue that Jack is her priority.No interviews have been given yet about the new albums, and speculation swirls online about a possible accompanying tour, but so far, all Bieber's statements remain strictly about music and family, as reflected in his social media and recent public outings. In short, Bieber's SWAG II era is as much about creative output as it is about family—an unmistakable shift for the pop superstar as he moves into a new chapter under a brighter, more personal spotlight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Get ready for a wild ride through the world where quantum physics meets jazz, deep learning, and the mysterious power of Janet Jackson's “Rhythm Nation.” On today's episode of Impact Quantum, hosts Candace Gillhoolley, Frank La Vigne, and BAILeY sit down with Shahaf Asban, mathematical physicist and head of research at Classiq, to unravel the wonders and oddities of quantum sensing.Shahaf takes us from his unexpected journey—starting in music and drum kits, all the way to leading research at the intersection of quantum technologies and AI. He breaks down quantum sensing in a way anyone can understand, demystifies the differences between classical and quantum computing, and shares why your next medicine—or even your next laptop—might owe a debt to quantum advances.We'll explore why quantum computing isn't just science fiction, how entanglement really works (minus the pop-sci speed-of-light myths), and what “noisy” systems mean for the future of technology. From myth-busting to practical predictions, this episode is perfect for anyone who's quantum-curious, no PhD required.So grab your coffee, open your mind, and get ready to get entangled in an episode that's equal parts enlightening and entertaining.Time Stamps00:00 Understanding Quantum Sensing05:21 "Exploration of Quantum & Information Theory"07:58 Raymond Chen's Fascinating Microsoft Anecdote10:16 Computing Paradigms Overview14:29 Statistical Algorithms: Not New19:00 Quantum Measurement and Isolation Dilemma21:25 Quantum Sensing vs. Classical Probes26:20 Quantum Chemistry Simulation Advancements27:13 Quantum Limitations in Drug Synthesis32:53 Quantum Computers: Future Potential Analyzed35:03 "AI's Impact: Importance of Backup Plans"38:55 "Measurement-Induced Error Challenges"44:10 Quantum Computing and Hybrid Architectures45:34 Tech Sales Pitch Challenges49:24 Cautious Optimism in Quantum Computing52:57 Mentorship's Impact on Growth55:28 "Quantum Adventures with Shahaf Asban"

We are 25 years into the 2000s, so we wanted to debate: what's the most definitive piece of Y2K pop culture? We try to pinpoint the essence of that period when teens ruled the culture, viral internet memes first became a thing, and everyone was freaking out about stocking up on duct tape. We talk about Spice World, Get Over It, Britney Spears' “Oops… I Did It Again” music video, and Janet Jackson's “Empty.”Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (08/06/2025): 3:05pm- Breaking News: In a unanimous decision, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court has ruled that former Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney's 2021 executive order replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day is invalid—noting that the order amounted to lawmaking without input from Philadelphia City Council and, consequently, violated the City Charter. 3:10pm- According to multiple reports, SiriusXM will not renew Howard Stern's show when his contract concludes at the end of 2025. According to The Daily Mail, Stern found out via a Google Alert during a “team building” party with staff. Some estimates suggest Stern was making as much as $120 million per year. 3:30pm- Press Conference: Five soldiers were shot at Fort Stewart in Georgia—the shooter is in custody. 3:40pm- During an interview with Laura Ingraham on Monday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called out legacy media outlets for promoting the Russiagate hoax—explaining that they operated as a “propaganda arm of the deep state.” 3:55pm- Rich had a wardrobe malfunction while at Fox News—but don't worry, it wasn't quite as bad as Janet Jackson's Super Bowl disaster. 4:05pm- Michael O'Neil—Vice President of Legal Affairs at Landmark Legal Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for The Washington Examiner, “Don't Appoint a Special Counsel to Investigate the Russia Collusion Hoax.” Read the full article here: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/aug/4/dont-appoint-special-counsel-investigate-russia-collusion-hoax/. 4:30pm- During an interview with Laura Ingraham on Monday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called out legacy media outlets for promoting the Russiagate hoax—explaining that they operated as a “propaganda arm of the deep state.” 4:45pm- George Bochetto—Attorney & former U.S. Senate Candidate—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his tireless fight to protect Columbus Day in Philadelphia. In a unanimous decision earlier today, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled that former Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney's 2021 executive order replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day is invalid—noting that the order amounted to lawmaking without input from Philadelphia City Council and, consequently, violated the City Charter. 5:00pm- While speaking with Kaitlan Collins on CNN, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett baselessly accused Donald Trump supporters of being “low IQ.” 5:10pm- In response to Texas's redistricting attempt, Governor Gavin Newsom has pledged to redistrict California—presumably removing several Republican congressional seats. Interestingly, Republicans currently hold just 17% of the congressional seats in CA—despite nearly 40% of the state voting for Donald Trump in 2024. Doesn't that suggest the state is already heavily gerrymandered? Comparatively, Democrats currently hold 32% of the House seats in Texas (with one vacant seat in a district that is reliably blue—so, the real number is closer to 34%).

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines across both music and family life over the past week. The biggest story, hands down, is his ongoing celebration of fatherhood. On July 28, Justin shared two new photos of his son Jack Blues Bieber, who will turn one next month, showing himself and Jack spending time together. As usual, Justin and his wife Hailey have concealed their son's face in all public images, underscoring their commitment to privacy. Hailey recently opened up to Vogue about the realities and emotions of motherhood and her transition into this new phase of life, saying Jack is absolutely their priority. Justin, in rare email comments to the same publication, described fatherhood as living out the days he always dreamed of, suggesting that this chapter may become a defining one in his biography, with his family now center stage in his public persona according to Elle.Professionally, Justin just unleashed a major surprise with the July release of his seventh studio album Swag, marking his first album in four years. The new project, which pivots to a more soulful sound, was reportedly streamed 198 million times in its debut week and drew strong critical acclaim, converting some skeptics into fans. The opening single Daisies debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and tied Janet Jackson for the tenth-most top ten hits in US history. Swag's launch was celebrated July 24 at a high-energy Los Angeles party attended by Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, The Kid LAROI, and other familiar faces from his circle, according to JustJared and social accounts including a reel from Justin Bieber Tour News. The event was widely documented on TikTok and Instagram, flooding social media with glimpses of his stylishly dressed entourage and up-close party shots.Public appearances have reiterated his persona as both a dad and a global celebrity. For example, footage, including a widely circulated X17online video, captured him arriving in Beverly Hills with Hailey, opting for a characteristically laid-back look while moving past a persistent paparazzi pack. He's been balancing being sociable at parties with keeping a cautious distance from the media scrum—a sign that the lessons of past tabloid frenzies have stuck with him.On the business front, Justin continues to build his empire, with recent news highlighting his earlier exit from Drew House, his streetwear label, and ongoing investments in tech and clean water startups. Discussions about his 2021 catalog sale, for over $200 million, and swirling rumors about the financial side of his career continue to surface in outlets like The Street, but verified sources stress Bieber's focus on expanding his brand's scope, not financial collapse.In sum, amid the glitz of album launches and viral fashion moments, it is Justin's new life as a devoted family man and his successful musical comeback that are shaping his latest—and possibly most significant—chapter to date.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber is making bigger headlines than ever as he settles firmly into family life and stages a career resurgence that has the music world buzzing. The most talked-about development this week is Bieber's heartwarming Instagram posts sharing glimpses of life with his 11-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber. Ahead of Jack's first birthday, Justin gave fans two new photos this past Sunday—always careful not to show Jack's face, keeping the promise he and wife Hailey Bieber made to protect their son's privacy. In an email interview with Elle, Justin described fatherhood as walking in the days he always dreamed of. Hailey, meanwhile, opened up to Vogue about the emotional challenges of unexpected motherhood and described Jack as her life's greatest teacher.Professionally, Justin's comeback keeps gathering steam following his surprise July 11 release of Swag, his seventh studio album and first in four years. Critics have widely praised the album's more soulful sound and explorations of love and family, a notable shift from his early pop catalog. Swag debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, racking up 163,000 equivalent album units its opening week, and its lead single Daisies became his 27th US top ten single, tying him with Janet Jackson on the all-time list. Swag has been streamed more than 198 million times and the buzz is carrying over to new business activity—his recent business insights and predictions for 2025 are trending on TikTok, while Diplo praised the Swag project's cutting-edge production on Billboard's Instagram news reel.Public appearances lately saw Justin keeping things low-key and family-focused, including a private album launch party in Los Angeles last week with close friends. Paparazzi trailed him and Hailey arriving at the Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills, noting his ultra-relaxed, signature streetwear look and his tendency to keep a distance from photographers—a likely lingering effect of his past run-ins with the press. On social media, he's been consistently active, mostly sharing intimate moments at home rather than promotional content.Business-wise, The Street recaps his diverse investments: after selling his entire music catalog to Hipgnosis for over 200 million dollars and stepping away from the Drew House streetwear brand, Bieber has been investing in tech and cryptocurrency ventures. Major headlines this week? Justin Bieber shares new family photos, keeps Swag album at the top of streaming charts, and continues to carefully balance fame with fiercely guarded privacy as both father and pop icon. No evidence of scandals, breakups, or major controversy—just a reinvigorated superstar playing out his next act on his own terms. Speculation about new tours or collaborations remains unconfirmed, but the buzz is that the next chapter could be his most significant yet.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been at the center of pop culture buzz these past few days, making both headlines and waves with the surprise release of his seventh studio album Swag on July 11, 2025. The album arrived unannounced after cryptic billboards in Iceland, catching fans and critics alike off guard and marking his first new record in four years. With 21 tracks diving into themes of love, fame, and family, Swag's soulful direction quickly garnered critical acclaim and racked up nearly 200 million streams in its debut week according to The Street. Billboard reports the album debuted at number two on the charts and its lead single Daisies tied Bieber with Janet Jackson for the tenth-most top ten singles in US chart history—a significant career milestone. The promotional trail surrounding Swag reached its peak this week with a star-studded listening party in West Hollywood on July 24, hosted by Spotify and in collaboration with his newly unveiled apparel line SKYLRK. According to AOL and TMZ, Justin was joined by Hailey Bieber, packing on the public displays of affection and definitively shutting down any lingering internet rumors about their marriage being on the rocks. In a carousel of Instagram posts and stories from both Justin and Hailey, the couple was seen embracing, kissing, and generally looking inseparable. Their cohesiveness was underscored by Hailey's interview in Vogue Italia, where she candidly discussed the difficulties of navigating speculation about their relationship—especially following the birth of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, who turns one next month.Bieber's business pursuits have shifted as well. After departing from his Drew House brand in April, he's now promoting SKYLRK, making his mark in streetwear once again. Hits Daily Double reports the move coincides with a broader push for financial control; Bieber now oversees his master recordings and has assembled a new company structure to align with his creative and financial vision. On the financial news front, Bloomberg reports that royalties from Justin's music are among those backing a $372 million bond issuance, a reflection of his lasting commercial impact. On the public appearance circuit, footage from X17online and social media show Justin and Hailey at the Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills, maintaining a low profile but still drawing paparazzi attention. With the success of Swag, renewed public affection, big moves in fashion, and a strong business hand, Justin Bieber is not only writing a new chapter musically, but also redefining the narrative about his life and career, pushing back against tabloid speculation and owning his spotlight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been the center of quite a buzz these past few days with multiple headline-grabbing developments both in his career and personal life. The singer made a major public appearance on July 24 at the Swag album listening party in West Hollywood, hosted by Spotify and his new apparel brand, Skylrk. According to AOL and widely shared on Instagram, Justin and Hailey Bieber were all smiles and PDA during the event, sharing multiple kisses and holding hands—a significant display as the couple has lately faced relentless tabloid rumors about marital trouble and divorce. Hailey herself recently told Vogue Italia that navigating early parenthood and the constant swirl of online speculation has been “the most delicate period” of her life, referencing the chatter around their relationship and their son Jack Blues Bieber, who turns one next month.Musically, the surprise release of Swag on July 11 marked Justin's highly anticipated return, his first studio album in four years. The record debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, notching up 163,000 equivalent album units, and its lead single Daisies launched straight into the top three of the Hot 100, tying him with Janet Jackson for the tenth-most top ten singles in US history according to Billboard and Wikipedia. Social media exploded with posts of Bieber celebrating at the Swag x Skylrk party, seen mingling with guests like Madison Beer, iShowSpeed, and Kyle Massey. Fans also caught him in Beverly Hills making a low-key exit from the Maybourne Hotel with Hailey, with X17online highlighting his laid-back fashion and continued wariness toward paparazzi in light of tense past encounters.Business-wise, Hits Daily Double reports that Bieber has solidified his financial and creative independence, using the windfall from selling his music rights to launch his own company and apparel line Skylrk, moving away from major label dependence. On TikTok, a trending video from Fran Lama showed Bieber balancing fitness and business as part of his 2025 persona.Tour rumors have been swirling non-stop, with Australian radio 6PR Perth teasing a possible Swag tour Down Under, but Rolling Stone received a no-comment from concert promoters, while Rob Shuter at Reality Tea counters that insiders say Justin will not tour for the foreseeable future due to emotional and health considerations after his battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Friends are reportedly concerned about the toll that live performing could take on him, saying he's “not ready” to hit the road again, so for now, the album is what fans get. As headlines like Justin and Hailey share a passionate kiss during album celebration and Will Bieber Tour Swag dominate entertainment news, his focus remains on family, business ventures, and selected public appearances while stepping back from the pressures of touring.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Strap into the time machine and set the dial for July 1986, a time when Top Gun ruled the box office, synthesizers ruled the airwaves, and Kenny Loggins ruled… something. In this episode, Milt and Dave wade knee-deep through the Billboard Top 10 from a summer that gave us everything from Loggins' “Danger Zone” (still trying to make aviator sunglasses cool) to Simply Red's “Holding Back the Years” (still holding back… the energy). Expect the usual: unsolicited nostalgia, suspiciously convenient personal stories, and yes, Milt somehow manages to rhyme “Spinal Tap” with “Trader Joe's nap.” Don't ask. Highlights include: A passionate defense of Janet Jackson's “Nasty,” because someone had to. A soul-searching breakdown of Billy Ocean's “There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry),” which succeeds. It does indeed break down. Two grown men pretending to know the difference between Howard Jones and Howard Johnson. And the moment Peter Gabriel's “Sledgehammer” rolls in and flattens the competition like, well, a sledgehammer. Plus: Johnny-themed trivia (because there are apparently way more songs about guys named Johnny than anyone needed), some light shade thrown at the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and a very necessary refreshing of the chart — where Dave and Milt save the Top 10 from itself by swapping in some ‘80s underdogs.

It's Independence Day here in the USA, but if you're not a fan of fireworks and hot dogs, Elliot and Dan's rundown of the best hacks of the week is certainly something to celebrate. Rest easy, because nothing exploded, not even the pneumatic standing desk that [Matthias] tore into, nor the electroplated 3D prints that [H3NDRIK] took a blowtorch to. We both really loved the Ploopiest knob you've ever seen, which would be even Ploopier in anodized aluminum, as well as an automatic book scanner that takes its job very seriously. We looked into the mysteries of the Smith chart, another couple of fantastic student projects out of Cornell, the pros and cons of service loops, and what happened when the lights went out in Spain last Spring. And what does Janet Jackson have against laptops anyway?

632. Chip Lococo discusses his novel, The Devil's Jazz: A Gripping Historical Thriller of Murder, Music, and Madness in 1918 New Orleans, about the infamous Axman of New Orleans. “They have never caught me and they never will... I have been, am, and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or the realm of fancy.” — The Axman In the haunted heart of New Orleans, as World War I draws to a close, a sinister presence stalks the streets. A brutal serial killer—known only as the Axman—emerges from the shadows, targeting the city's Sicilian immigrant community with chilling precision. Inspired by true events, The Devil's Jazz resurrects one of America's most disturbing unsolved murder cases in a city steeped in music, mystery, and myth. Retired detective Giancarlo Rabito is pulled back into the darkness when the killings begin. The press fans hysteria. The public panics. And when the Axman sends a blood-chilling letter to the newspapers — promising death unless every home plays jazz on a chosen night — the city answers with a desperate and defiant flood of music. Chip LoCoco was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he attended Jesuit High School and received his BA degree from Loyola University in 1990 with a concentration in History. He then went on to receive his JD degree from Loyola University Law School in 1993 and joined his father's firm, Many & LoCoco, after being sworn in as an attorney in October, 1993.
