Bryson DeChambeau would "love to" bring his popular YouTube series to Charlotte
Why it matters: The professional golfer's YouTube channel has 1.95 million subscribers, and "Break 50" has featured everyone from Tom Brady to President Donald Trump.
The video with Brady has 3.5 million views. The video with Trump, who was not in office at the time the video was filmed, has 14 million views.
"It would be an honor to bring the Break 50 series to Quail Hollow," DeChambeau said. "We've got a couple of other ideas we'd love to do, but that would be awesome."
The big picture: DeChambeau, one of more than 150 golfers competing in the PGA Championship this week, isn't just one of the top golfers in the game. He's gone from being one of the game's antagonists to a social media star.
"It really gives me perspective out there when I'm under intense pressure and somebody yells out, 'hey, let's do a Break 50,' or 'I loved the video with John Daly,' or whatever," DeChambeau said. "It really sets me back into a positive mind frame of I know why I'm doing this."
Between the lines: The Majors are the only time LIV golfers play in Charlotte, so this week is a rare appearance for DeChambeau, who left the PGA Tour for LIV in 2022.

Apple TV Plus teases 'Breaking Bad' creator Vince Gilligan's next show — here's when the first look drops
Apple TV Plus is finally set to reveal some new details about an upcoming new creation from "Breaking Bad" creator, Vince Gilligan. On July 22, the streaming service shared the above poster on social media, alongside a cryptic, three-word statement: "Happiness is Contagious." Since then, Apple TV Plus has been running a countdown on its YouTube channel, presumably to some sort of trailer for the new series. The countdown (embedded below) has a little over 31 hours left on the clock, at the time of writing, pointing to a reveal tomorrow (Friday, July 25, 2025). Honestly... not much. Apple TV Plus snapped the new project up back in 2022, and we at least know this next project comes from Vince and is due to star Rhea Seehorn ("Better Call Saul's" Kim Wexler). Per a report from Deadline, we know the show has been described as "a blended, grounded genre drama," and that it received a two-season straight-to-series order from Apple — a big vote of confidence that this will be worth the wait. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Their report also says the show is expected to play out within our world, "while putting a tweak on it, bending reality and focusing on people and exploring the human condition in an unexpected, surprising way." Deadline further says that the show is "expected to carry the signature Gilligan tone that infuses drama with humor." In a subsequent interview, Gilligan revealed a few more tidbits about the sci-fi project, which is again set in Albuquerque (though a very different version of Albuquerque). "There's no crime, and no methamphetamine," he told Variety. "The world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different. And the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that," Gilligan added. Bottom line: this is bound to be a major new release for Apple TV Plus, and if you've enjoyed Vince Gilligan's previous work, you're probably going to be signing up for Apple TV Plus soon.

On Saturday, millennials play mah-jongg
Last February, my friend Fiona texted a question to me and two other friends: Who wants to learn how to play mah-jongg? None of us — a group of millennial moms in our late 30s and early 40s — had ever played the game, often thought of as a retirement community pastime for Asian and Jewish grandparents. But we love a good pretext for cocktails and gossip. And we'd heard rumblings of a resurgence among women our age, won over by mah-jongg's combination of luck, skill, and socialization. So Liz ordered a cheap set of tiles. We DoorDashed dinner from Chang Chang, then sat down to memorize a chart of Chinese numerals and watch a YouTube tutorial. A few rounds later, we were hooked, and before long, our group text had a new name: Momjong.

French president, first lady sue Nashville influencer Candace Owens for 'relentless bullying'
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte filed a defamation lawsuit in Delaware on July 23 against right-wing influencer and Nashville resident Candace Owens over her recent video series claiming that France's first lady is biologically male. The Macrons said in a lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court that Owens has waged a lie-filled "campaign of global humiliation" and "relentless bullying" to promote her podcast and expand her "frenzied" fan base. The filings are referring to a 6-part video series Owens began earlier this year titled 'Becoming Brigitte,' in which Owens accuses Brigitte Macron, 72, of being born under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux—the actual name of her older brother. The lawsuit accuses Owens of spreading 'outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions' such as Brigitte Macron being a man who 'stole another person's identity, and transitioned to become Brigitte; Mrs. Macron and President Macron are blood relatives committing incest; President Macron was chosen to be the President of France as part of the CIA-operated MKUltra program or a similar mind-control program; and Mrs. Macron and President Macron are committing forgery, fraud, and abuses of power to conceal these secrets.' "Every time the Macrons leave their home, they do so knowing that countless people have heard, and many believe, these vile fabrications," the complaint said. "It is invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust." The 22-count complaint seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages, as well as a jury trial. The Macrons are being represented by Clare Lock, a boutique defamation law firm that settled against Fox News in 2023 on behalf of Dominion voting systems following the network's claims of Dominion rigging the 2020 election. In a video livestreamed on her YouTube channel Wednesday afternoon, Owens announced that she had been 'sued by the first lady man of France.' 'This is just goofy,' she said. Conservative-media: Is Nashville the nation's new conservative-media nerve center? Owens went on to call the lawsuit an 'obvious and desperate public relations strategy,' and recommended that Macron fire 'everyone' who told her it was a 'very good idea' to be the first sitting first lady of a foreign country to 'file a lawsuit against a journalist of another country.' 'You are literally making history in all the wrong ways,' she said. Owens, who moved to Nashville in 2020, previously teased a second season of the video series, claiming to have information that could force Emmanuel Macron to 'step down.' 'My series has been the undoing of them,' she said. Wednesday's lawsuit is a rare case of a world leader suing for defamation. President Donald Trump has filed multiple defamation lawsuits, including against the publisher of The Wall Street Journal last week. To prevail in U.S. defamation cases, public figures like the Macrons and Trump must show defendants engaged in "actual malice," meaning they knew what they published was false or had reckless disregard for its truth.
