We’ve got a LOT to talk about this week.

Quick updates on our NY football teams.

What is going on with officiating in major league sports? With sports betting everywhere, should fans be asking more questions about questionable calls? And could AI eventually replace referees?

Are we really ready for robots to live among us? We revisit “Chappie” and ask whether movies like this are starting to look a little less like science fiction.

And then we get serious.

NBC News and Telemundo released new polling on Latino voters heading toward the midterms, and we go deep into the numbers. Some of the results might surprise you. Check out the poll: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/poll-latino-voters-swing-away-trump-republicans-midterm-shift-rcna599894

One thing seems clear: the Latino vote should NEVER be taken for granted.

Ivan & Gene break it all down on the latest episode of The Modern Latino Podcast.

In this episode of The Modern Latino Podcast, we wrap up the summer with a wide-ranging conversation about some of the changes we are seeing in everyday life.

We start with the end of summer in the city and ask whether businesses are pushing holiday sales earlier every year. We also discuss airports allowing more non-ticketed visitors into terminals and whether the goal is really about convenience—or driving more traffic to airport restaurants and shops.

We reflect on September 11th and its lasting impact, then shift to bigger issues including global warming and whether key government positions should automatically change every time a new administration takes office.

Technology takes center stage as we look at the growing influence of artificial intelligence. Is AI improving our lives, or are we starting to take it too far? And with robotics advancing quickly, we have to ask the important question: could robots actually be capable of beating us up someday?

Football season is back, and Latino representation across the sport is becoming increasingly visible. We discuss that growing presence, along with the continuing debate over how much professional football players should earn.

We also react to the latest Apple announcements and ask whether new product launches still generate the excitement they once did.

Finally, we tackle a generational question: Are millennials really cheapskates, or have rising costs and changing priorities simply made them more careful about how they spend their money?

It’s another episode covering culture, technology, sports, current events, and the conversations happening around us.

Summer may be winding down, but Ivan and Gene have plenty to talk about in this packed episode of The Modern Latino Podcast.

We kick things off with Tom Hardy, aka Franki Pulitzer, and reflect on a NYC summer where the weather didn’t exactly cooperate.

We also take some time to remember several entertainment icons we lost, including Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and the legendary voice of Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen. Which naturally leads to an important question: Could Gene be the next Optimus Prime?

From there, we jump into a summer sports recap and discuss the news surrounding José E. Feliciano and his wife, Kwanza Jones, purchasing the San Diego Padres. Has some of the media coverage surrounding the new owners been unfair?

We also reveal who takes the crown as the richest female actress, talk about Bad Bunny wrapping up his world tour, and ask a question that may divide households everywhere: Do you watch television with closed captioning turned on?

Then it’s time for our summer movie roundup. Who was the best Helen of Troy? And could The Odyssey find itself in the Oscar conversation?

We also give props to Gorilla Nems and his crew, although sensitive listeners may not agree with everything discussed. That conversation leads us into a broader and more complicated topic: the ongoing controversy surrounding the use of the N-word in modern hip-hop and street culture, who gets to use it, and how its meaning and acceptance continue to evolve.

As the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

We invite you to listen in, reflect with us, and share your thoughts. Your voice matters in this conversation.
