In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric riff on one of the hottest debates in modern city life: are reservations and curated nights out killing “real” experiences, or are they the only sane way to survive places like Las Vegas? Using a viral Subway Takes clip as a jumping-off point, they break down why lines get engineered, why chaos is overrated, and how to actually plan a great Vegas trip without burning cash (or patience) on bad clubs and hour-long waits. On this episode we talk about: The “no more reserved seats” hot take and why Travis and Eric think it's one of the worst opinions on going out How engineered lines and scarcity at places like With Love Always shape perception and demand Why wandering around for 45 minutes “exploring the neighborhood” sounds romantic online but is awful in real life—especially with kids Eric and Travis's case for reservations, predictable tables, and reducing unnecessary chaos in already chaotic lives Vegas tips: overrated experiences (nightclubs, certain hyped dining spots) versus underrated ones (off-strip restaurants, comedy clubs, and Cirque shows) Specific recommendations for steakhouses and nicer dinners: Del Frisco's, STK, Bavette's, Mastro's, and local gem Black Sheep Why national chains often underperform in Vegas compared to chef-driven, off-strip concepts Top show picks: Mad Apple, Mystère, Absinthe, O, and why comedy clubs like Brad Garrett's are such a great bet A frank breakdown of why most nightclubs are “eternal pits of money,” bottle service psychology, and how to avoid a five-figure hangover Top 3 Takeaways Convenience tools like reservations aren't killing spontaneity; for most people they're protecting sanity, time, and the ability to actually enjoy a night out. In Vegas, the best value often comes from off-strip or less-hyped spots—chef-led restaurants, comedy clubs, and thoughtfully chosen shows can beat loud clubs and generic chains. Nightclubs are designed as high-margin, high-temptation environments; if you go, treat it like a pre-planned expense, not a place where attention from staff equals real connection. Notable Quotes "When I go to eat is when I'm like, life's been chaotic. I want to go to my table." "Any night club is an overrated experience—it's an eternal pit of money where you can't hear anything." "Have fun, be cautious, and don't buy into the thought that these bottle service girls really love you—it's all a hustle designed to get all the money out of your bank."

North Korean troops are fighting and dying in Ukraine, and the survivors are returning home to teach their comrades what they've learned. In return, Moscow is transferring military technology to Pyongyang. Beijing, worried about losing its grip, is competing for influence by easing up on decades of pressure that kept the Hermit Kingdom in check. And Washington? It's pulling forces out of the Indo-Pacific and sending them to other theaters.In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with Stanford's Dr. Oriana Skylar Mastro, Center Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute and leading expert on Chinese military strategy, to unpack her new Foreign Affairs article, "Kim's Dangerous Liaisons: Russia, China, and the Growing North Korea Threat."Oriana makes the case that the Korean Peninsula is more dangerous today than it has been in years. North Korea is more capable and emboldened and less restrained by its two great-power patrons, who are playing against each other for influence. A conflict on the peninsula today would inevitably pull in Russia and China, nuclear powers with combined military and industrial weight that rivals the United States.In this conversation:Why North Korea's Ukraine experience is reshaping its military doctrineWhat a "limited attack" on South Korea could look like, and how it could spiralWhy China's restraining role over Pyongyang is breaking downHow U.S. force movements to Iran are read in Beijing, Moscow, and SeoulThe 1950 Dean Acheson parallel and what Washington risks repeatingWhy South Korea could one day hedge toward China if U.S. guarantees weakenWhat real deterrence in Northeast Asia would actually requireA sharp, accessible podcast on great-power competition, alliance politics, Korean Peninsula security, U.S.-South Korea relations, and the growing China-Russia-North Korea axis.

In Episode 199, Delo sits down with Michael Merendino, the founder of Crust Simply Italian and a fixture in the Arizona hospitality scene. Born and raised in New York, Michael shares his incredible journey from waiting tables at Mastro's Ocean Club—where he made $1,000 a night during the golden era of steakhouses—to buying a 7-foot pizza oven before he even had a lease for his first restaurant. This conversation is a masterclass in grit, "scrappy" entrepreneurship, and the relentless pursuit of authentic hospitality.Michael opens up about the early days of opening Crust in 2007, making "every mistake possible," including opening without silverware and forgetting to wash the romaine lettuce on day one. He and Delo discuss the evolution of the restaurant industry from labor costs to the "MALT" principle (Music, Ambiance, Lighting, Temperature) that defines a great dining experience. They also dive deep into his expansion into the craft cocktail world with The Ostrich, a basement speakeasy in a 100-year-old hotel that houses feathers from the actual ostrich farm of Dr. Chandler.Whether you're a restaurateur navigating the chaotic waters of construction and permitting, or just a lover of great food and stories, this episode delivers. Michael explains why "touching every table" is still the secret sauce to retention, how he balances running a multi-concept portfolio while keeping a "family" culture, and even claims a little credit for the invention of lobster mashed potatoes.Chapter Guide:(0:00 - 3:15) Intro: Family Life & The "Scottsdale Love Story"(3:16 - 8:42) The Golden Era: Making $1k/Night at Mastro's(8:43 - 15:20) The First Crust: Buying an Oven Before a Lease(15:21 - 22:10) The Ostrich: Building a Speakeasy in a Basement(22:11 - 28:45) Scaling Up: Why "Touching Tables" Matters(28:46 - 35:30) Leadership: Managing Headaches & Celebrating Wins(35:31 - 40:37) Rapid Fire: MALT, Steaks, & Lobster Mashed Potatoes

Send us a textRHOC Reunion Part 2: Clearing the Air (Or Not)⭐ Podcast Summary: RHOC – S19 Reunion Part 2Reunion Part 2 kicks off hot with Tamra and Gretchen immediately going for each other's throats. Tamra screams that Gretchen is a “F-ing liar,” and the old controversial photo of Jenn resurfaces—plus the infamous saga of the hair extensions. Jenn finally tells Tamra, “I feel like you don't like me—and that's okay.” Tamra insists Jenn targeted her to get on the show, which Andy hilariously shuts down.Gina chimes in that Jenn seemed thirsty her first season, and Tamra continues her list of “coincidences”—the house, the doctor, the salon, the fitness competition—only for Jenn to remind her Tamra invited her. Even Andy is like: what exactly is the problem here?Question from a viewer: is Tamra jealous of Jenn like she was of Gretchen? Tamra denies she's ever been jealous of anybody. Heather tries to defend her earlier “Jenn wants to be Tamra” narrative, only for Jenn to tell her none of it was real—Heather admits she realizes that now.Emily pushes Tamra on why she showed the photo in the first place, reminding her she admitted it was shady in Temecula. Tamra apologizes, Jenn shrugs it off, and Emily gives Jenn credit for helping her rethink her own insecurities around weight.Andy moves to Jenn's wedding—no date yet, and everyone agrees waiting is smart. Jenn opens up about worrying whether she'll “be enough” for Ryan as she ages, but also owns that she's the breadwinner and full-time parent.Shannon gives an emotional update about being accountable and in a good place. Gina's still worried about her, but Shannon insists she's solid, seeing her dad twice a week. Gina apologizes for mocking Heather's acting career, and Heather says she's exhausted defending herself.We see some fun montage moments (lymphatic drainage! stripper chaos!) before lunch. Matt pulls up to see Katie in her trailer, while Shannon interrogates Jenn and Tamra over chicken she packed herself. Jenn says Shannon won't accept her apology.After lunch, the big mess: Jenn vs Katie. They haven't spoken; Katie feels abandoned. The “roofie story” at Mastro's gets unpacked. Gretchen admits she misspoke about saying she went to the hospital—she meant she should have.Matt joins the stage and claims Ryan and Slade coached Katie to “hold the line” on the story. Gretchen is interrupting him nonstop. Tamra reveals Scheana was the one who told Kiki Monique. Andy explains Gretchen is back because of her success on Girls Trip—not Slade pulling strings. Slade didn't show because he didn't want the “he's always trying to be on TV” accusations.Finally, Katie tells Jenn she messed with her paycheck by not defending her—if Jenn had even slightly backed her, Katie says she wouldn't have had to stop filming.The drama is high, the receipts are sloppy, and everyone's yelling over each other—it's classic RHOC reunion chaos.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

The iguanodontians were an incredibly successful group within the Cretaceous. They could reach incredible sizes, with the largest species even matching the proportions of some sauropods, and they also had an incredible palaeogeographic range, meaning that their remains are found all over the world today. In the late Jurassic, they were a lot less diverse and much smaller, so the late Jurassic and early Cretaceous are key times for understanding the evolution of this group. Cariocecus bocagei is a newly described iguanodontian from the Early Cretaceous of Praia do Areia do Mastro, Portugal. Whilst it is only know from a partial skull, there are numerous useful characteristics that help identify it as a new species and fill in our understanding of iguanodontians in this important time in their evolution. Joining us in this episode is Dr Filippo Bertozzo of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences.

This Day in Legal History: 14th Amendment RatifiedOn July 9, 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified—one of the most sweeping and hotly contested legal transformations in American history. Drafted during Reconstruction, its promise was bold: birthright citizenship, due process, and equal protection under the law. In theory, it was the legal nail in the coffin for Dred Scott v. Sandford, the 1857 decision that declared Black people could never be citizens. In practice? A more complicated story.The amendment aimed to redefine American citizenship in the wake of emancipation—but its language proved a double-edged sword. While Section 1 is the cornerstone of modern civil rights litigation, it was also the platform for corporate personhood and Lochner-era judicial activism. The same equal protection clause used to dismantle segregation in Brown v. Board (1954) was first deployed to protect railroad companies from state taxes. So the question isn't whether the Fourteenth Amendment mattered—it's whether it served the people it was meant to protect.Southern states ratified the amendment under duress, often as a condition for rejoining the Union. The Supreme Court, for decades, narrowed its reach, refusing to apply most of the Bill of Rights to the states and sidestepping racial injustice entirely. Only in the 20th century—through selective incorporation and the civil rights movement—did its full potential begin to manifest.Today, the Fourteenth Amendment remains a constitutional battleground: cited in cases on abortion, marriage equality, affirmative action, and beyond. But the fight over its meaning is far from settled. July 9 isn't just a date on the calendar—it's a reminder that even the most powerful legal language is hostage to interpretation, and that equality under the law has always been a work in progress.Retired NBA star Charles Oakley is seeking sanctions against Madison Square Garden (MSG) and Randy Mastro, a top NYC official and MSG attorney, alleging they made false statements in a long-running legal battle over Oakley's 2017 ejection from a Knicks game. In a recent court filing, Oakley accused Mastro of repeatedly lying to the court about MSG owner James Dolan's involvement, despite Dolan admitting under oath that he played a role. Oakley wants the judge to award attorney fees, censure Mastro, and require him to attend an ethics class.This move follows MSG's own motion last month asking the court to sanction Oakley and his lawyers for allegedly promoting a "false narrative" and to dismiss the case. The dueling motions are part of an eight-year legal dispute that began after Oakley was forcibly removed from MSG. Oakley, a Knicks fan favorite from 1988–1998, has claimed excessive force was used during the incident and has recently amended his lawsuit to focus on assault and battery.Ex-NBA player seeks sanctions against Madison Square Garden, lawyer Mastro | ReutersLaw school deans across Texas are pushing back against a proposal to eliminate the requirement that attorneys graduate from American Bar Association (ABA)-accredited schools. In a letter to the Texas Supreme Court, deans from eight of the state's ten ABA-accredited law schools argue that scrapping the rule—which has been in place since 1983—would hinder graduates' ability to practice in other states and reduce transparency for students and consumers.The court's review of the ABA requirement follows a similar move by Florida, where justices cited the ABA's paused diversity mandate and political activity as reasons for reconsideration. Critics of the proposal warn that removing ABA accreditation could isolate Texas law schools, make legal education less portable, and ultimately increase costs for students.Notably, the dean of the University of Texas School of Law, Robert Chesney, did not join the group letter. Instead, he suggested the court explore alternative or supplementary accreditation pathways. Texas A&M's law dean, Robert Ahdieh, also withheld endorsement but emphasized the importance of maintaining national recognition for Texas law degrees. The state's high court, composed entirely of Republican-elected judges, has not indicated when it will issue a decision.Eliminating ABA accreditation for Texas law schools is flawed proposal, some deans say | ReutersA U.S. district judge temporarily halted the bankruptcy sale of genetic testing company 23andMe, giving California three days to argue that the deal violates its genetic privacy law. California had earlier failed to convince a bankruptcy judge to block the $305 million sale to TTAM Research, a nonprofit founded by 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki.The state contends that transferring genetic data to TTAM without explicit consumer consent breaches California's Genetic Information Privacy Act. With roughly 1.8 million California residents among 23andMe's 10 million users, the state argues the sale could lead to unauthorized data transfers.Bankruptcy Judge Brian Walsh previously ruled that consumers could delete their data post-sale, minimizing potential harm. TTAM has promised to honor 23andMe's existing privacy policies. A federal court hearing on whether to extend the pause is scheduled for Thursday. The bankruptcy follows declining demand and a major 2023 data breach at 23andMe.Judge briefly pauses 23andMe bankruptcy sale amid California's appeal | ReutersThe IRS has agreed—at least for now—not to penalize churches for discussing political candidates or campaigns during religious services, provided that such speech is framed as a matter of faith. This move comes as part of a proposed consent decree intended to resolve a constitutional challenge to the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 law barring 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations—including churches—from participating in political campaigns.The settlement, filed in a Texas federal court, reinterprets the Johnson Amendment narrowly: religious speech about politics during worship services is not “political intervention” if it occurs through traditional, faith-based communication. The IRS now claims enforcing the Johnson Amendment against such speech could raise serious First Amendment concerns, especially if it treats politically silent religious organizations more favorably than outspoken ones.Critics warn this reinterpretation risks turning churches into tax-sheltered political operations. Diane Yentel of the Council of Nonprofits argues it opens the door to tax-deductible donations for de facto political activity—effectively subsidized by taxpayers who may disagree.While the lawsuit originally sought to strike down the Johnson Amendment entirely, this settlement attempts to sidestep the constitutional minefield through interpretation, not invalidation. But here's the legal paradox: the IRS is effectively rewriting statutory law without legislative input, relying on what it calls "constitutional avoidance." That raises real questions—can an executive agency unilaterally redefine the scope of a congressional statute to avoid a constitutional fight? Or is this a policy pivot masquerading as judicial restraint?For now, the constitutional showdown is paused. But if this consent decree is approved, it will mark a major shift in the legal boundaries between church, state, and campaign finance—without any actual change to the law's text. Whether that holds up under future scrutiny remains very much an open question.IRS Says Religious Groups Can Discuss Politics During Services (1) This is a public episode.

In the latest blind tasting episode of GuildSomm: Into the Glass, Master Sommelier Chris Tanghe pours the dreaded so-called Bermuda Triangle of white wines for Texas sommelier Skyler Ring. Skyler has quickly risen through the sommelier ranks and has passed both the theory and service portions of the Master Sommelier exam, with just the tasting portion remaining before he becomes Austin's next Master Sommelier. Skyler began his hospitality career in New York City managing restaurants, and his focus shifted exclusively to wine after moving to Texas, where he has worked at Jeffrey's in Austin and Mastro's Steakhouse in the Post Oak Hotel in Houston. He currently works for importer Wilson Daniels. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy this episode, please consider leaving us a review, as it helps us connect and grow the GuildSomm community. Cheers!
