Sebastian and Pete recap their time in Vegas which included a visit to the Sphere, time at the pool and cranking the siren at a Golden Knights game. Sebastian is concerned he might be bad luck for teams that invite him to their games. While in Vegas, Sebastian went shopping which leads in to a trip down memory lane of selling Cavaricci jeans and getting ready to go out at night. The guys react to the viral graduation speech video and kids trying to find their spot in life. Pete pulled a couple of Pete's on the trip back home from Vegas. The guys discuss airport and plane etiquette especially when someone is in a wheelchair. Sebastian's been giving out “Thank You” chocolates but the response hasn't been what he had hoped for.

Last month, the Wall Street Journal declared this summer to be the era of the “man band.” Those would be boy bands who've grown up — think New Kids on the Block, Boys II Men and the Jonas Brothers — along with their fans, who now have more disposable income to fork out. Exhibit A: The Backstreet Boys residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas last summer grossed more than $55 million.But it's about more than the money. It's about the mostly middle-aged women who are no longer afraid of the cringe — and the mostly middle-aged boys-turned-men who are no longer afraid to embrace the passion of their fans. Novelist Emma Straub saw that fandom first hand when she went on a New Kids on the Block cruise several years ago — and was blown away by the intensity and camaraderie of the now adult “Blockheads.” That visit inspired her new novel, “American Fantasy,” which is a deep dive into the lucrative world of a fictional ‘90s-era boy band named Boy Talk and the woman who still worship them. Straub joins Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas to talk about boy bands, the pleasure of enjoying them without shame and how aging changes our perceptions of our past — and current — selves.Guest:Emma Straub is is a New York Times-bestselling author and the owner of a Brooklyn-based bookstore, Books Are Magic.

Rachel Bolan sits down with Eddie Trunk at the Jersey Shore to dive into his debut solo album, Gargoyles of the Garden State. The two share stories about growing up in New Jersey, from winning records on the boardwalk to sneaking into bars underage. Rachel opens up about the creative process behind the album, working with producer Nick Raskulinecz, and featuring guests like Corey Taylor, Nuno Bettencourt, and Danko Jones. They also discuss the ongoing search for Skid Row's next singer, reflect on the band's 35-year legacy since Slave to the Grind, and touch on underappreciated albums like Thickskin. After that, Phil Collen from Def Leppard sits down with Eddie to reflect on what he considers two of the best shows in the band's 44-year career during their Vegas residency. Phil opens up about Joe Elliott's three-hour vocal warmups, the band's renewed chemistry, and why they're still getting better after all these years. The conversation shifts to Man Raze, Phil's power trio with Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook and Simon Laffy, as they release a comprehensive box set called Lock, Stock and Barrel. Phil also reveals he's been working with legendary producer Mutt Lange again on a Crossbone Skully track, discusses Delta Deep, and shares his thoughts on potentially playing the Sphere.  Catch Eddie Trunk every M-F from 3:00-5:00pm ET on Trunk Nation on SiriusXM Faction Talk Channel 103.And don't forget to follow Eddie on X, Instagram & TikTok!Follow the link to get your free 3-month trial of SiriusXM: http://siriusxm.com/eddietrunk Find all episodes of Trunk Nation: https://siriusxm.com/trunknation Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Bill Maher welcomes country music superstar Kenny Chesney to Club Random for a conversation that starts with sold-out stadiums and ends somewhere much deeper. Kenny reflects on his ""hillbilly rock star"" glory days, why he's never canceled a show in nearly three decades, and the bus-ride epiphany that convinced him to stop drinking before performances. He also pulls back the curtain on creating the visuals for his record-breaking Sphere residency. Kenny gushes over Religulous, while Bill tells stories about Larry Flynt's gold wheelchair and Bill Clinton's legendary charm. Then one simple question about legacy cracks the whole conversation wide open: what happens to everything you've built when you don't have kids?

Episode Description Welcome back to the Lonely Town Podcast, where Derek and Jimmy explore the music, stories, and fandom surrounding Brandon Flowers and The Killers. This week, the conversation shifts from Brandon Flowers' upcoming album to Derek's recent trip to Las Vegas to see No Doubt perform at the world-famous Sphere. Derek shares his firsthand experience inside the Sphere, from the immersive visuals and production to the passionate fan culture surrounding the band's residency. Along the way, he and Jimmy compare No Doubt fans to Killers fans, discuss merchandise controversies, setlist debates, fan-created signs, and the unique challenges of creating a residency show built around a fixed visual production. The guys also dive into the economics of modern concerts, shrinking venue sizes, sold-out versus canceled shows, and the growing phenomenon of "Blue Dot Fever" as artists struggle with changing ticket-buying habits. Most importantly, they ask the question every Killers fan wants answered: Could The Killers successfully headline the Sphere? The answer leads to a fascinating discussion about Las Vegas history, fan demand, future residencies, anniversary shows, and whether Brandon Flowers and The Killers would even want to take on a long-term Vegas residency at this stage of their career. If you've ever wondered what a Killers Sphere show could look like, this episode is for you. Show Notes In This Episode Derek Goes to the Sphere First impressions of the Sphere experience Flying to Las Vegas for a quick concert trip Ticket prices and overall value What makes the Sphere different from traditional venues Immersive visuals, effects, and production No Doubt's Las Vegas Residency Seeing No Doubt live Gwen Stefani's stage presence The fixed setlist debate Why Sphere productions require consistency from night to night Fan reactions to residency-style performances No Doubt Fan Culture Early-entry line controversies Number systems and GA debates Fan-made signs and audience interaction Merchandise demand and limited-edition collectibles Similarities between No Doubt fans and Killers fans The No Doubt Pop-Up Experience Exclusive Las Vegas merchandise Memorabilia displays and museum exhibits Early demo tapes and band history Costumes, awards, and artifacts Why a Killers version could be incredible Could The Killers Play the Sphere? Would The Killers be able to sell out the venue? What a Killers Sphere production could look like Las Vegas visuals and storytelling opportunities Sam's Town, Hot Fuss, and Vegas history Potential residency concepts How long a Killers Sphere run could realistically last Modern Touring Challenges Concert ticket pricing Dynamic pricing frustrations Why some major artists are downsizing venues Canceled shows and Blue Dot Fever The changing economics of live music Other Artists Mentioned Bush Smashing Pumpkins Our Lady Peace U2 Metallica Eagles Kenny Chesney Zac Brown Band Blake Shelton Discussion Highlights Why every fanbase seems to have the same arguments The future of concert residencies Whether the Sphere is worth the hype How visual storytelling changes a concert experience What a Brandon Flowers or Killers residency might look like The balance between touring and staying home Why Las Vegas remains such an important part of The Killers' identity

Dean Takahashi is the dean of tech writers and a 25-year veteran correspondent covering consumer electronics, gaming, and emerging technology for GamesBeat. He's covered every major tech transition—from mobile's rise to VR's boom-and-bust cycles to the current AI explosion—with a skeptical eye and a talent for finding the human story beneath the hype. This is his fifth appearance on the AI XR Podcast.For CES 2026, Dean walked the floors across the Convention Center, the Venetian Expo Center (Eureka Park), Pepcom, and Showstoppers, emerging with a clear reading: China has decisively shifted from periphery to center stage in consumer electronics manufacturing, American incumbents are pulling back and rethinking their booth strategy, and the economics of CES itself are in transition. Robotics companies are moving from prototype to commercial faster than expected—but they still can't answer basic questions about pricing and labor displacement.News: Sony cuts its booth to demo an electric car instead of TVs. Samsung skips the show floor entirely for the first time. Nvidia takes over the Fontainebleau to showcase its role in robotics enablement. Lenovo dominates the Sphere with a Gwen Stefani concert. Chinese robotics companies proliferate with laundry folders, latte makers, and toilet-cleaning units. Roomba files for bankruptcy; Chinese competitors take over the robotic vacuum market.Key Moments:[00:01:23] Dean receives his virtual green jacket as a five-time returning guest and Charlie thanks him for his insights[00:03:00] China takeover at CES: TCL dominates Central Hall, ROED owns the XR booth, robotics companies fill the floor[00:06:00] Nvidia's Fontainebleau takeover and the "chest-pumping" show of force; why scale messaging still matters[00:14:18] The robotics explosion explained: Nvidia's digital twins, Cosmos world models, and synthetic testing accelerate time-to-market[00:19:00] The pricing problem: robotics companies won't answer how much their products cost; the minimum wage rental model doesn't translate globallyWhen American companies built the show, CES reflected American manufacturing dominance. Now that China manufactures most consumer electronics, CES reflects that shift—and the implications ripple through labor, supply chains, and where the next epicenter of innovation will be. Dean, Charlie, and Ted grapple with what CES 2026 signals about global manufacturing advantage and why the geography of tech matters more than we think.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

Las Vegas just landed its first James Beard Best Chef award in 15 years, so what does Sarah Thompson's win say about the city's food scene?

Looks like we should stay dry today with no rain in the forecast. A bit warmer than yesterday, too. It's "Hypothetical Thursday", so we asked each other hypothetical questions. Brian's question for Jean was: "If you were going to bury a time capsule that won't be opened for 250 years, what would you put in it?" And Jean's question for Brian was: "Do you have any recurring dreams or nightmares that you remember from your youth?" Office Cora joined us just after 8am to talk about what she's up to in the 715 this weekend. In the news this morning, the latest on the deadly shooting at a hospital in Delaware earlier this week, Rachel Dratch pulls out the "Debbie Downer" character during a commencement speech, an actress from "The Ring" and "Lilo & Stitch" passes away, In sports, the Brewers beat the Guardians again last night, Team USA is set to take on Australia tomorrow in World Cup action, the Knicks will be the first NBA Championship team to visit President Trump at the White House, the Vegas Golden Knights & the Toronto Maple Leafs announce their new head coaches, and the college baseball World Series match-up is set! Tom Hanks recently learned that Woody from "Toy Story" has a last name, we talked about what's on the TV today/tonight, the new "Spiderman" trailer dropped yesterday and we also got a look at some of the Spidey popcorn buckets. And if you've got a bunch of money, you can go to the Sphere in Vegas to see "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in the near future. Elsewhere in sports, an Olympic athlete collapses at a recent event, Travis Kelce admits to confusing Warren Buffet with Jimmy Buffet, and the MLB Pride caps continue to be an issue for some people. Cool story about a kid who just found a REALLY ancient Viking sword(not sure if he held it above his head and shouted "I HAVE THE POWER"!!!), and check out this great grandmother who just saw video from her wedding that was recently found. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had teens in California riding E-bikes through a Walmart, a guy who was experimenting with some homemade fireworks and it didn't go so well, and a guy who's going to prison after squirting semen on unsuspecting women for nearly 30 years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For most of James Dolan's tenure in charge of the New York Knicks since he became Madison Square Garden's chairman in 1999, he has been an easy punching bag for Knicks fans—and much of the damage was self-inflicted. But now, after one magical spring, that turbulent past might be water under the bridge. The Knicks are NBA champions for the first time in 53 years, a moment many fans never thought would be possible with Dolan in charge. “Hey, New York, I'm sorry it took so long, but here we are, and hopefully it won't take that long again!” Dolan shouted on stage after Saturday night's 94-90 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 clinched the title. The 71-year-old Cablevision heir also has plenty of reason to celebrate off the court. Forbes recently valued the Knicks at $9.75 billion—No. 3 in the NBA—and Dolan's NHL team, the Rangers, at $4 billion, the second-best mark in hockey. While that combined total of $13.75 billion easily outpaces the $9.26 billion market cap of the publicly traded MSG, the stock is up 103% over the past year. Meanwhile, Dolan's other company, Sphere Entertainment, which owns the Sphere just off the Las Vegas Strip and the MSG regional sports TV and radio networks, has seen its share price soar 291%.

Torin shares stories about discovering underground metal bands, playing packed and nearly empty shows, and why technical musicians often gravitate toward both genres. They also talk about touring with Kitchen Dwellers, life on the road, band dynamics, fan culture, songwriting versus jamming, and the realities of surviving in today's music industry. Plus: Vegas metal shows, Wizard of Oz at The Sphere, Irish drinking culture, tour buses, festival life, and some unforgettable tour horror stories.

Bay Area's Alternative Queen, Marci, joins Sarah and Vinnie to talk about her experience seeing Gwen Stephani at The Sphere. Then, Marci and Vinnie go head to head guessing the greatest drum intros in rock history.

We've got a surprise guest! It's Marci from LIVE105 fresh off her adventure to The Sphere. No Doubt she had a great time in Vegas. An Orange County fever dream. Then, Marci and Vinnie go head to head guessing the best drum intros in rock history. The gorgeous weather continues in The Bay. Route 66 is turning 100, but high gas prices might kill the party. Fox is buying Roku, so we're making sure we know what that is. Plus, can you guess which celebrity had each random job?

Hour 1: Santa Cruz native, Oliver Tree, and 6 others were killed in a helicopter accident in Brazil. TODAY show movie critic, Gene Shalit, passed away at the age of 100. Vinnie thinks Timothee Chalamet should be embarrassed. The irony of a plane crash full of parachuters. When it rains it pours, a woman in Brazil died from a rope jumping accident. Less than ⅓ of people have met a great-grandparent. Hour 2: ‘Disclosure Day' opened at #1 but with a softer opening than Spielberg's team was hoping for. Vinnie's tween daughter is making YouTube videos at Target, and it reminds Sarah of when she used to pretend to be a DJ with her sibling. ‘Michael' officially beats ‘Bohemian Rhapsody' at the box office. Will the sequel show any of the controversy? John Fogerty of CCR says there's a biopic in the works. Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire. A shocking number of millennials are still dependent on their parents. And, it gets crazier. Don't tell your kids you're giving them your money. There's an app that tries to heal your shopping addiction. Which would be worse as a parent: Bullied or The Bully? Hour 3: Sarah's son is still living it up in China. The Knicks won and the celebrations in New York City came at a price. How many movies has Spielberg made? Where does ‘Disclosure Day' rank on Spielberg's massive list of films? The US won its first World Cup game! It's Take Your Cat to Work Day… how?! Switzerland voted on whether to limit the country's population. Optimism might be the secret to longevity. A mom online is recommending backwards beach day. Hour 4: We've got a surprise guest! It's Marci from LIVE105 fresh off her adventure to The Sphere. No Doubt she had a great time in Vegas. An Orange County fever dream. Then, Marci and Vinnie go head to head guessing the best drum intros in rock history. The gorgeous weather continues in The Bay. Route 66 is turning 100, but high gas prices might kill the party. Fox is buying Roku, so we're making sure we know what that is. Plus, can you guess which celebrity had each random job?

God is enlarging your heart and filling you with more of His love than ever before.  Even in the middle of warfare, His anointing on your life is increasing, not decreasing. Where the enemy thought he had the victory, God is preparing a table for you to feast on His goodness right in front of it all.  You're not just coming out, you're coming out stronger, higher, and overflowing with His presence. This is a season of expansion, where your capacity, authority, and influence in the Spirit are growing. Get ready! God is about to turn things around suddenly, and His blessing on your life cannot be stopped. Hallelujah! ✨

As context windows grow into the millions of tokens, many AI practitioners are questioning whether retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is still necessary. If modern models can ingest entire libraries of documents, why bother with retrieval at all? In this episode, Alex Bowcut, Head of Engineering at Sphere, explains why the answer depends on the application. Sphere uses AI to automate global tax compliance—an environment where getting the answer right isn't enough. Every conclusion must be backed by the correct legal citation, and every decision must withstand expert review. We explore how Sphere built TRAM (Tax Review and Assessment Model), a production AI system that combines retrieval, reasoning models, legal review workflows, reinforcement learning, and deterministic systems to help tax experts move nearly two orders of magnitude faster while maintaining accuracy. Along the way, we discuss why RAG remains critical in high-stakes domains, how Sphere processes legal and regulatory documents from jurisdictions around the world, retrieval architectures, semantic chunking, dense versus sparse retrieval, expert feedback loops, and the challenges of building AI systems that people can actually trust.

Alex Bowcut is from Salt Lake City, Utah originally, but has been in the Bay Area for the last 4 years. He's always been interested in computers, and was in middle school when smartphones were blooming. He took part in jailbreaking gadgets and such, and all of these things led to a natural interest in CS, mathematics - and eventually, startups. Outside of tech, he is married with 2 Australian shepherds. He and his wife enjoy hiking with the dogs, and skiing - unfortunately, without the dogs.Alex was approached by the founder of his current venture. He was approached while he was working at another startup, to tackle the creation of AI control and scaling within the company internally. When he joined, he immediately started changing the game in creating the initial version of their assessment model, TRAM.This is Alex's creation story at Sphere.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://www.getsphere.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/abowcut/Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/mt82fpxl #CashAppPod.
