Every year in early January the global tech industry converges on Las Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show. I've attended this conference religiously in the past, and less frequently now that my focus is on real estate rather than technology. This year, as with last year, the central theme to CES is AI. Virtually everything being showcased at CES is AI enabled in some way. There are also some clear differences and advances compared with last year. We're going to be doing mini series on the podcast looking at some of the biggest advances and what will be the impact on real estate investing.CES this year, particularly from the major heavy equipment manufacturers, made significant announcements focused on embedding AI and autonomy directly into construction equipment and the entire job site workflow. The theme has shifted from "automation is coming" to "AI is the new operating system for construction."--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
I did this one from the 66th floor Alle Lounge at Resorts World Las Vegas, with Shannon McCallum, VP of Hotel Operations, about how the property continues evolving four-plus years after opening. Resorts World operates more than 3,500 rooms across three brands -- Hilton, Conrad, and Crockfords -- all under one roof. That scale forces real decisions about technology, guest choice, and efficiency — especially when different guests expect very different experiences. Shannon walks through how the team thinks about:
A lot to discuss in tonight's Headlines including a reset on the firing of John Harbaugh, another MLB move that the Red Sox aren't a part of, and the Athletics looking for a new name when they move to Las Vegas.
Bobby runs into a former lover and temptation creeps into his mind. The guys remember how much charisma "Boston Bobby" had in Las Vegas when a model/waitress was falling for his charms. Bobby fantasizes what would have happened had he pursued her. Jay gives him wise advice to try and ease his pain. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

From the very first pages of Harry Potter, Hagrid is full of mysteries — his size, his umbrella, his expulsion… but there's one moment that has quietly confused readers for decades.

In this video, we break down every possible way Hagrid could have reached the island, using only canon evidence from across all seven books. We examine flying motorbikes, broomsticks, Thestrals, magic carpets, Floo Powder, dragons, and even some of the wizarding world's rarest magical creatures.. This is the one Hagrid question that never gets answered on the page… until now! Special Thanks to @jakob_henkel for this video suggestion!

Not everything is perfect in the Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift world as a charity watchdog has identified Kelce's 87 and Running as a fiscal hot mess. Get this, only 41% of the money the charity raises goes to actual programs. The rest, apparently, goes to Kelce's buddies that run the thing. Uh oh. Here's the good news, Kelce is exactly the kind of guy that would have no idea this is happening, but I'll bet his fiance cleans up his affairs quickly. KU had a comeback for the ages beating TCU at Allen Field House Tuesday night. This is exactly what Bill Self does, even when it feels like it was the other team that blew it. It's time to celebrate as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting dissolves after a vote of the board. This has been a taxpayer nightmare since 1967 and now PBS and NPR will have to stand on their own legs. Trump's getting 50 million barrels of oil from Venezuela and is ordering them to stop drilling until they meet ALL of his terms. And, he's eying a deal with Greenland now. He really is making America great, this is just incredible. Ravens coach John Harbaugh is sacked after 18 years but they fired the wrong guy. I'll prove it to you. Sporting KC has a new head coach, the A's can't get the trademark in Las Vegas and the media has a new story to try to take your eyes and ears off all the winning right now.

What's causing this sudden slip for these contenders?

Miles to Go - Travel Tips, News & Reviews You Can't Afford to Miss!
Watch Us On YouTube! It's that time of year again. Ed and Kerr crack open Flighty, pull up the spreadsheets (mentally), and relive a very messy 2025 in travel. From 113 flights and 184,000 miles to delayed planes, aging aircraft, loyalty status debates, and questionable late-night routing decisions, this episode breaks down what actually happened on the road — and what we're changing in 2026. Spoiler: one year was a mess. The other was a hot, flaming dumpster fire.
We start the show the only way we know how: talking about the sports weekend, rookie wide receivers who immediately become That Guy, and what everyone's drinking, plus a quick reminder that Mike DeWine still sucks. Comedian Alex Schubert hangs out and delivers a truly unhinged breakdown of where every NFL quarterback would've been on January 6 (yes, it comes back twice). We bounce around from super high-ABV beers to the Columbus Crew coach being an absolute zaddy before diving into real football chaos. The Colts pull off back-to-back fake punts, the Jets somehow finish an entire season without recording a single interception, and Zac Taylor becomes the main character for all the wrong reasons: getting booed, kept by the Bengals, and ultimately winning MF'er of the Week for complaining after Myles Garrett's sack celebration. We debate whether Garrett's sack record actually counts in a 17-game season, argue about the most unbreakable records in sports, and spiral into fantasy football hell, including a punishment that requires eating 71 hot dogs, plus a league where everyone gets punished just for existing. We wrap with College Football Playoff chaos (we're all in on Indiana), why bye teams are getting cooked, and the A's Vegas move hitting a wall after their trademark gets rejected. It's long. It's dumb. It's exactly what this show is.
The Ravens fired John Harbaugh on Monday. Where will he land? Then picks on the 2 CFP Semi's and a rant about the legalization of sports betting in America being blamed for everything
In today's episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Dr. Sam Shay—also known as The Neurodiverse Doc. Sam is autistic, ADHD, and deeply committed to helping neurodiverse adults understand how their brains actually work in a world that wasn't designed for them.We dive into a powerful (and sometimes triggering) conversation around autism, ADHD, bullying, and the often-confused overlap between autism and narcissism. We talk about intention versus impact, pattern recognition, coercion, control, masking, and what happens when you finally reframe your entire life through the lens of neurodiversity. If you've ever wondered, “Is this narcissism… or is this autism?”—this episode will give you language, clarity, and validation. Dr. Sam Shay, DC, IFMCP, is a functional medicine expert, keynote speaker, and self-described NeuroSpicy comic who helps neurodiverse adults navigate life in a neurotypical world. Diagnosed AuDHD himself, Dr. Sam has dedicated his career to advocacy, education, and support for individuals on the autism and ADHD spectrum.With over 25 years of experience in nutrition, genetics, and functional lab testing, he created the Neuro-Harmony Model and DNA-Decoded programs—data-driven approaches designed to boost energy, improve mental clarity, and help families create environments where neurodiverse individuals can thrive. Alongside his clinical work, Dr. Sam uses clean, witty, story-driven comedy to bring awareness to neurodiversity. His one-hour special, NeuroSpicy: Love, Life, & Comedy on the Spectrum, blends humor with powerful insight and is a must-watch for anyone seeking understanding through laughter. Episode Highlights:[0:00] – Understanding the difference between narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths through their core drives [1:03] – Welcoming Dr. Sam Shay and why this conversation matters for neurodiverse adults [3:52] – Sensory overstimulation, bonding over shared neurodiverse experiences, and Vegas misconceptions [6:24] – Autism vs. narcissism: similar behaviors, radically different intentions [8:27] – Discovering autism later in life and “backfilling” 38 years of memories [14:57] – Grief, identity shifts, and recalibrating your nervous system after diagnosis [18:23] – Bullying, coercion, and why neurodiverse kids are often targeted [21:09] – Masking vs. adapting: where survival ends and authenticity begins [26:27] – Pattern recognition as protection and reclaiming personal agency [35:41] – Finding your tribe and why one safe person can change everything [37:29] – Sam's closing wisdom on truth-seeking without losing human connectionLinks & Resources· Website: www.DrSamShay.com· DNA-Decoded program: www.DrSamShay.com/DNA-Decoded· Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsamshay · Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sam.shay.792 · Youtube: www.Youtube.com/tenpointwellness · Article on Narci
Gary & Shannon kick off the show with a wild mix of breaking news, from a corn spill (definitely not a porn spill) shutting down the 10 Freeway, to major updates in the Reiner case as high-powered attorney Alan Jackson exits and Nick Reiner heads to court. The conversation widens to global stakes as the U.S. seizes a Venezuelan oil tanker, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Trump’s strategy under the microscope. Plus, journalist and bestselling author Jacob Soboroff joins the show to discuss his new book, Firestorm, and what he calls a “new age of disaster.” The hour wraps with sports shakeups, including John Harbaugh’s firing after 18 years with the Ravens and a trademark snag threatening the A’s move to Las Vegas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We start with a full breakdown of Black Monday fallout, including surprise exits in Baltimore, Atlanta, Cleveland, Arizona, and Las Vegas, plus sweeping changes in Dallas and Washington.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1237: Today we're talking about BMW and Mercedes battling it out at CES with next-gen AI, a surprising sedan surge in the used market, and how ChatGPT is causing headaches for doctors and lawyers alike.Show Notes with links: https://lnkd.in/dNJMNGBkTwo German giants are trading blows in Las Vegas. CES has become a high-tech battleground for BMW and Mercedes-Benz as they push the envelope on AI and digital experiences in their latest vehicles.BMW is the first automaker to integrate Amazon's Alexa+ AI into its Intelligent Personal Assistant.Launching with the BMW iX3 in 2026, the assistant offers conversational voice interactions and can handle multiple queries at once.Users can link Amazon accounts to access streaming and news directly through the assistant.The AI is central to BMW's Neue Klasse EV platform, with CES once again serving as its innovation stage.“The vehicle becomes an intelligent companion for its users,” said Stephan Durach, SVP at BMW Group.https://lnkd.in/eb_v_mY6Are sedans back in style? Pickup trucks still rule the used car market, but a surprising sedan surge and shifting EV dynamics brought a few fresh twists to 2025's top sellers.The Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500 held onto the top three spots.Chevy Malibu shot up from No. 29 to No. 8, likely due to rental fleet sell-offs after GM ended production.Toyota Corolla cracked the top 10 at No. 9; Equinox and Camry stayed strong.Tesla continues to dominate used EV sales, with Model 3 and Model Y leading.VW ID.4 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 made big jumps, while the Chevy Bolt slid to No. 7.“The rankings show minimal variations from 2024, though the dominance of full-size trucks is shrinking,” said iSeeCars analyst Karl Brauer.https://lnkd.in/eWeNSd7aChatGPT Is the New WebMD, And It's Driving Experts Crazy. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are becoming the go-to for legal and medical questions, giving everyone a second opinion—but not always the right one.AI is now widely used for symptom checking, legal strategy, and even therapy prep.One in three Americans consult AI weekly for health advice; 57% use it or would for legal issues.Professionals report clients showing up with AI-generated legal gameplans or diagnoses—often filled with emojis.AI's authority and 24/7 availability make it feel more trustworthy and convenient than waiting weeks for an expert.“We have to dispel the information clients were able to obtain vs what is actually going on and kind of work backwards,” said New Jersey attorney Jamie Berger.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

2026 is just beginning, and it's already time for the biggest gadget event of the year. As the Verge team heads to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show, David and Nilay run through as many of the newly announced products as they can. There are robots, art TVs, phones, more robots, smart Legos, smart home gizmos, and still more robots. Some of this stuff will ship, and might even be a big hit. Some of it, well, won't.

Today I'm joined by Eric Cohen, CEO at Merchant Advocate. We break down why credit card processing is one of the most overlooked expense lines in dealerships, how 60–70% of stores are overpaying, and which “non-negotiable” fees are actually negotiable.

The payoff: real strategies dealers can use to reclaim margin without cutting people or growth. This episode is brought to you by: 1.

There was a time when a movie title sequence was just the moment you grabbed your popcorn and waited for the real show to start. But in the mid-90s and early 2000's, that changed forever with films like Seven and shows like Mad Men and Stranger Things. The title sequence became a prologue—a metaphor for the film itself. This is a preview of a premium episode. To listen to the full interview, head over to our Substack:https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/mikon-van-gastel Our guest today, Mikon Van Gastel, was right there in the trenches of that revolution. After a formative and intense education at the Cranbrook Academy of Art—where the only teachers were artists in residence and your toughest critics were your peers—Mikon cut his teeth at the legendary studio Imaginary Forces. Today, Mikon is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Sibling Rivalry, a hybrid brand studio and production company he founded with his best friend, Joe Wright. They've built a reputation for work that blurs the lines between branding, storytelling, and architecture.z In this episode, we explore the sheer scale of modern experience design. Mikon takes us behind the scenes of his work for the Sphere in Las Vegas—a venue he calls the “Champions League of content creation”. We discuss how to design for shared emotion, balancing the “collective gasp” of a 20,000-person audience with moments of intimate connection. We also dig into the business of creativity. Mikon opens up about the “sleepless nights” of running an agency in a project-based economy and how he refuses to transition fully into a management role, preferring to write treatments and stay hands-on with the work on nights and weekends. Whether you are designing software interfaces or directing films, Mikon's philosophy on collaboration and stripping away the noise to serve the core idea is something we can all learn from. Bio Mikon van Gastel is Director, CEO, and Co-Founder of creative agency Sibling Rivalry, based in New York and Miami. Originally from Holland, he earned his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art before launching his career at Imaginary Forces, where he designed award-winning title sequences for feature films and theatrical trailers. Van Gastel's work spans multiple disciplines, with notable projects in architecture and experience design including MoMA's interactive signage system, BMW World in Munich, the digital displays at Santiago Calatrava's World Trade Center Oculus, and most recently, immersive films for the world's first keynote inside The Sphere in Las Vegas. He also created a VR series with renowned curator Paola Antonelli. He continues to direct commercial campaigns and product launches for major brands including Apple TV+, Ford, Google, Target, BVLGARI, and Vogue, working with high-profile talent such as Drake, Taylor Swift, Lionel Messi, and Lewis Hamilton. Van Gastel speaks internationally about design integration and emerging industry trends at cultural and educational institutions worldwide. *** This is a premium episode on Design Better.

Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. This episode answers key patient questions about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and fertility. We answer:· How is PCOS diagnosed? Using the Rotterdam criteria: irregular cycles, more than 12 microfollicles per ovary, or elevated male hormones. Two of three confirm the diagnosis.· Does stopping birth control pills help fertility? No. PCOS cycles return to baseline because the hormonal system does not reset.· Why don't patients with PCOS ovulate regularly? The brain does not release enough FSH to trigger ovulation.· What fertility treatments work? Oral ovulation-induction medications succeed in about 80% of patients.· Do patients with PCOS have ovarian cysts? No. Small follicles are normal; true cysts are a different condition.· Does weight affect PCOS? Yes. Weight gain or loss can influence hormone balance and ovulation.We also clarify why the name “polycystic ovary syndrome” is misleading. Patients with PCOS do not have true ovarian cysts. Instead, they have many small follicles, each containing an immature egg, which are a normal part of ovarian anatomy. True ovarian cysts, such as desmoids or endometriomas, represent entirely different medical conditions and are not part of PCOS. This episode provides clear, evidence-based guidance on PCOS diagnosis, myths, and effective fertility treatment.
In this New Year's episode of Parenting Is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg talks with mystic, Reiki practitioner, and parent Jennifer Wai about raising kids while trusting intuition in a culture obsessed with rules, experts, and productivity. Jennifer explains what it actually means to be a mystic—describing herself as a human antenna fine-tuning static—and traces that sensitivity back to a childhood marked by literal thinking, bullying, and parents who didn't quite know what to do with a kid who felt everything. They compare notes on parenting highly perceptive children, including how Jennifer's early ability to anticipate her kids' needs sometimes backfired by discouraging them from speaking up, and how her own children have been “socialized out” of mystical thinking, even as they casually tolerate card pulls and energy talk. The conversation moves easily from Reiki as “gentle jumper cables” for the nervous system to the emotional labor of rejecting people-pleasing while doing psychic readings, before landing on practical parenting ideas for the year ahead—like offering kids a “third option” instead of a hard no, or sitting through Fortnite matches just to stay connected. The episode closes on Jennifer's big theme of grace—grace around self-care that looks like binge-watching, grace around messiness, and grace delivered with a laugh as Ophira admits she's now calling “grace” her personal Pantone color.
