XYZ | Audrey’s Tan Mishap, New Grammy Rules, and Shrekking

AI Odyssey , PinkPanthress Might Be the New Movie Star , and Dreams That Are a Little Too Lucid

Ash Koosha is directing (if you can call it that) a 100% AI created iteration of the Odyssey following the debut of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster. PinkPantheress is set to make her acting debut alongside Matt Damon and Sandra Oh in a super secret Universal film directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert: Erik is dubious... We discuss how seeing a concert through someone else's eyes can either make or break an experience and wrap the show with a conversation about dreams whether they really mean anything at all.

XYZ Artist Spotlight | SHANØ

From his strong presence on social media to carving out a new path in music, SHANØ joins the conversation to reflect on his journey. We discuss how we first connected online, the challenges he's faced throughout his career, and the inspiration behind his latest single, "Back Home," which marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. SHANØ also shares stories from traveling across the country, attending Chance the Rapper's Juneteenth celebration in Los Angeles, previews his upcoming performances, and weighs in on who he thinks deserves the next Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Sunshine Protection Act, the New Alvin (& the Chipmunks) is Looksmaxing, and Batman Part 2 looks..eh

The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act to lock in daylight saving for good, but it could possibly create 19+ different time zones. Hollywood greenlit a new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie for 2028, but Alvin is looksmaxing and Jordan is worried. Mom's Hot Take tackles mini motorcycles terrorizing suburban sidewalks, and Matt Reeves drops the first camera test for The Batman Part 2 which is.. fine, and also proof that Batman Part 2 shouldn't be a movie at all.

XYZ | Tom Holland Left on Read, Crazy Frog Lore, and Childhood Credit Card Crimes

Tom Holland reveals he DM'd Erling Haaland... and never got a response. We put everyone through THE TEST, revisit the classic world of missed connections, and dive into the surprisingly bizarre history of Crazy Frog. In Tech Tidbit, we check out Even Realities' new smart glasses that skip the cameras and speakers entirely. We wrap with the times we accidentally (or not so accidentally) ran up our parents' credit cards as kids. Hosted by renowned television and radio personality Erik Zachary and his co-host Jordan Foster, XYZ with Erik Zachary is your escape from ordinary radio. There's conversation, music, and plenty of surprises - but make no mistake, this isn't your parents' radio show. (Although Erik’s mom drops by weekly with her own hot takes). XYZ’s mission: eliminate every reason you've ever reached for the aux cord.

XYZ | Rihanna Returns for JAY-Z, Taylor Swift Wedding Trash Sells Out, and University of Chicago Bans Tech for Freshmen

Rihanna is stepping back on stage for one night at JAY-Z's extra innings show, and we get into what that return actually means. Somebody collected the trash outside Taylor Swift's wedding, put it up for sale, and sold out in 24 hours, which is either genius or a crime. The University of Chicago is banning technology for first year students to fight AI, Mom's Hot Take is all about the disco balls in the garden and Jordan makes the case that you need to take your helmet off when you ride the bus. Plus things we saw at a festival, and the growing urge to snitch on young kids now that we are officially old.
