The one with the lights. I've seen that video a hundred times."},{"host":"Laura","text":"IGN just posted it. LEGO confirmed the partnership today, and the set is based on the pyramid stage from that tour."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"That stage was basically a spaceship landing in the middle of a field. Now you can build it at your desk."},{"host":"Laura","text":"The detail on those light panels could be gorgeous, or it could be a mess of gray bricks."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Knowing LEGO, there will be one tiny Thomas and one tiny Guy-Manuel, and they'll be the most collectible part."},{"host":"Laura","text":"People are already asking if the pyramid lights up. LEGO hasn't said."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"If it doesn't, the fan base will design their own light kit in a week. They always do."},{"host":"Laura","text":"This is the kind of adult LEGO set that sells out at midnight. You know the collector crowd is ready."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"They're still touring, they still do Coachella-sized shows, and now you can own a tiny version. Perfect gift, honestly."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Speaking of awards season energy — Tito Double P is at the Billboard Latin Music Awards tonight, raving about Anuel AA and teasing new music."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Tito's momentum right now is real. He's got that raw regional sound, and the fact that he's shouting out Anuel means something."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Anuel's been quiet lately. If Tito says new music is coming, fans are going to run with that."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"The fan accounts are already searching for the snippet. I guarantee someone's got their phone up."},{"host":"Laura","text":"No details, no release date. Just Tito smiling and saying wait for it."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"That's how these things go. One red carpet comment becomes an album rumor by midnight."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Different corner of the internet: a critic on Bluesky posted that their mom watched Top Gun and asked why the movie was about — and I'm quoting — \"that little guy,\" referring to Tom Cruise."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"The little guy who became the biggest movie star on Earth."},{"host":"Laura","text":"To be fair, Tom Skerritt had just walked on screen. Her loyalties shifted."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Tom Skerritt played Viper, the calm, competent instructor. Some people just prefer authority figures."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Matt Zoller Seitz, the film critic, is clearly enjoying this. It's perfect."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"She saw Maverick riding a motorcycle into the sunset and still asked why we're following this guy."},{"host":"Laura","text":"The answer, of course, is charisma."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Some people never buy it. That's fine. That's why Viper got the jet."},{"host":"Laura","text":"And meanwhile on X, the top ten artists tag is back, and it is the same argument wearing a new coat."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Oh, the lists. I've seen ten already today. They all include Taylor, they all include Sabrina, and they all start a fight in the replies."},{"host":"Laura","text":"One person listed Billie Piper next to Kendrick Lamar next to Bad Bunny, and I respected it more than most of these lists."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"That is a person with range. But the replies are already doing the thing where someone asks 'where's my favorite?' and someone else says 'basic.'"},{"host":"Laura","text":"That's the whole game. You post a list, you wait, you collect your ratio."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"One account claimed Olivia Rodrigo is one of the only straight pop girls, right after Sabrina, Taylor, and Beyoncé. What is this conversation?"},{"host":"Laura","text":"It's fans inventing categories and then getting mad about the categories. Classic."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"The pop straightness ranking. That's where we are on a Thursday night."},{"host":"Laura","text":"I'm just glad nobody tried to rank the Daft Punk robots by how many LEGO bricks they contain."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Give it an hour."}]}
