The series invites fans on a metaphysical road trip through the West Coast sunset with a euphoric lineup designed to illuminate audiences and create space for community, connection and spiritual transformation.
On a quick break between tour stops and sunset sets, we sat down with Eli & Fur to talk travel rituals, dream destinations and the places that make them feel most at home in the world.
Eli & Fur Eli & Fur
My go-to airline is:
Eli: British Airways, but if we could fly everywhere on Qatar we would!
Fur: Emirates.
My favorite seat on the flight is: Window seat, love to make music on the plane while looking out at the views.
My go-to in-flight beverage is:
Eli: A glass of cold white wine, this sadly sometimes means having to add an ice cube.
Fur: Bloody Mary.
My favorite airport/terminal is: Doha Qatar terminal. It's unreal. Amazing shopping and food.
The second I get on a plane I:
Eli: Shoes off and then check the in flight entertainment and decide on a good movie.
Fur: headphones straight on.
My go-to travel uniform is: Free City tracksuits and an Alo Jumper. Both super comfortable and cozy.
My carry-on consists of: A Black Rimowa carry-on and our new favorite purchase - the Search Backpack from Tumi. It fits absolutely everything and goes under every seat.
The pieces I take EVERYWHERE are:
Eli: A pair of Nike running trainers. I love to run on the road. I also take Seed probiotics.
Fur: My own pillow, makes me feel cozy on the flight, and Pique Life Electrolytes.
My flying soundtrack is:
Eli: Anything by Rufus Du Sol.
Fur: Some relaxing jazz.
My favorite thing about flying is: Getting to shut off while in the air and just work on music or watch a movie.
The worst part about flying is: Turbulence and delays.
My one flying hack is:
Eli: If you are flying with only hand luggage, take one pair shoes in a tote bag. It gives you lots more space and you can always put them into a duty free bag so you only have two items to carry on.
Fur: The seatbelt trick is to put your knees up and clip the seatbelt around your legs. It's a comfortable way to sleep.
The second I land I: Breathe a sigh of relief that we made it.
As soon as I check into my hotel room I: Check the room service menu.
My favorite hotel in the world is:
Eli: That's a tie between Heckfield Place in Hampshire, England and Grand Hotel Timeo in Taormina, Italy.
Fur: Resort Hotel Alex, Zermatt
My favorite city in the world is: Nowhere in the world is as magical as Paris.
A concierge will know that I prefer: Extra water!
My favorite hotel memory is: We threw a party on the roof of the Proper Hotel in Santa Monica to celebrate the release of our album, it was intimate and amazing and we danced as the sun went down. It was a special memory.
I conquer jetlag by: Coffee, always. And then Moon Juice Magnesi-Om.
My biggest piece of travel advice is: Do it. Take the trip!

Bob Odenkirk thinks he was 'too hard' on 'SNL' as young writer: 'This show could be better'
The "Nobody 2" star also tells EW he "would love that opportunity" when asked if there's a chance he'll host the season 51 premiere. Bob Odenkirk has found new respect for Saturday Night Live after leaving the show. While discussing Nobody 2 at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the actor tells Entertainment Weekly that he has gained a better perspective on SNL in the years since he finished his tenure as a writer, which lasted from 1987 to 1991. Although he's previously said that he had a less-than-stellar view of SNL while he worked there, he now realizes that he judged the show too harshly. "I was too hard on the show," he says. "I had a lot of attitude when I got hired there, like, 'This show could be better, this show could be Monty Python, this should be more cutting edge, this should be more dangerous.' And I was frustrated by it not representing purely my point of view. I wanted it to be me, my show." Odenkirk now understands that his desire to personally transform the entire voice of SNL was foolhardy. "It's not my show! It's a show that is shared by everyone who's in that cast, and everyone who's in that writing staff, and it's shared by generations, and not one generation," he says. He continues, "Everybody in America watches it, and it's a reference point for everyone. I think the 50th just made me more aware [than] ever of the amazing work that's been done there." The Better Call Saul star also thinks that he got to write boundary-pushing comedy on a later project. "I think Mr. Show, the show I did with David Cross, I consider my effort to do something edgy and new and try to blast through some barriers and go to another level," he says. Odenkirk also admits that he didn't fully appreciate how SNL's lightning-fast weekly schedule makes its production so difficult. "It's a bigger challenge than I thought it was when I worked there," he explains. "When I worked there I was 25, I was like, 'C'mon, dammit! We can do better! This is easy!' And it literally was the years since I've left that I went, 'Wait a second, that show is almost impossible to do at all.'" Additionally, when asked if he'd consider hosting the show during its upcoming 51st season, Odenkirk responds strongly in the affirmative. "I would love that opportunity," he says. "I have mad respect for the effort of that show, and I would dream of being able to host."Though he's never hosted the show before, Odenkirk says that it remains within the realm of possibility. "There's been conversation about it," he explains. "They don't have me locked out. I'm friends with everybody there, and I know so many of the writers, and I know so many of the actors. It's just part of my life." Watch EW's full livestream of Friday's Comic-Con interviews above. Check out more of . Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly Solve the daily Crossword

Bobby Lee blames 'woke' backlash for And Just Like That... axing
Bobby Lee has shared why he thinks he was cut from And Just Like That.... "Some of the woke elements of the show, they got rid of, and I think I was a part of that," the comedian and podcaster told Entertainment Weekly at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. Lee starred as Jackie Nee, Carrie Bradshaw's (Sarah Jessica Parker) podcast co-host, on the first and second seasons of the Sex and the City continuation series, but is notably absent from the third season. "I think Sara (Ramirez) didn't come back, and some other people," Lee said. "They tried to put minorities in, and, I don't know. I never saw the show." Ramirez departed the show in season 2 as Che Diaz, the love interest of Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon). Karen Pittman, who played Nya Wallace, Miranda's Columbia Law School professor whom she befriended and later called her roommate, also left the show ahead of season 3. In regards to Lee's departure from the show, his storyline ended naturally, as Carrie no longer hosts the podcast. Lee reflected on his time on And Just Like That... in a positive light. He called Parker "the nicest person I've ever met", and credited her for making him feel "so at ease" on the project. "I like everyone on there. It was fun. I never have bad blood with anybody. You know what I mean?"

George Lucas brings the force to Comic-Con in historic first visit
Comic-Con fans pulled out their lightsabers Sunday to welcome "Star Wars" creator George Lucas to the prominent pop culture convention for the very first time. Attendees lined up for hours to grab a seat inside the 6,500-person capacity venue in San Diego, California to see the legendary filmmaker behind the "Indiana Jones" franchise speak at the event on its final day. Comic-Con, which draws some 130,000 attendees, has become an important platform for movie studios and their stars to showcase the latest film and television offerings, especially those with a genre fan base. "We've been waiting five decades for this!" said panel moderator Queen Latifah, who oversaw the discussion by Lucas and other filmmakers. Instead of discussing his film works, however, Lucas graced the convention to preview the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art -- opening in Los Angeles in 2026 -- which the director co-founded with his wife, businesswoman Mellody Hobson. "I've been collecting art since I was in college," Lucas, 81, told the crowd, adding that he has amassed tens of thousands of pieces in his collection. "I've been doing this for 50 years now, and then it occurred to me that what am I going to do with it all because I, I refuse to sell it. "I could never do that, it's just, it's not what I think art is -- I think it's more about an emotional connection," the director said. In his description of the museum, Lucas said the institution will feature a blend of works. They include illustrations by Normal Rockwell, Jessie Willcox Smith and N.C. Wyeth; artworks by Frida Kahlo, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White and Robert Colescott; and pieces by cartoonists and artists like Winsor McCay, Frank Frazetta and Jack Kirby. "This is sort of a temple to the people's art," he said in summation. The museum, housed in a sleek, curved building, will also feature items from Lucas's films and other exclusive pieces. For the "Star Wars" mastermind, the museum aims to be a tribute to the importance of narrative art. "When you're born, the baseline is fear. And as you go through life, you're curious about things, but you're especially curious about things you don't understand, and therefore that's a threat to you. "And as a result, you make up stories to make it feel good," he continued. "Science fiction is a myth... but we've made it real because of science fiction books and art." - 'A critical moment' - Among the other members of the panel were Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro and production designer Doug Chiang, who shaped the aesthetic of the "Star Wars" universe for decades. "What's remarkable about George is that he leads from the heart, and this museum is him," Chiang said. Del Toro, who will release his latest film "Frankenstein" in November, said many of the museum's pieces will celebrate freedom of speech. "We are in a critical moment in which one of the things they like to disappear is the past, you know, and this is memorializing a popular, vociferous, expressive and eloquent moment in our visual past that belongs to all of us," Del Toro said. The fantasy filmmaker also described comics as a medium with "a lot of social conscience" and joked that comic artists "were the first one to punch a Nazi" in their works. "What a panel!" said attendee Jesse Goldwater, who traveled to San Diego from Los Angeles. "They are the embodiment of Comic-Con itself, without them Comic-Con wouldn't exist." pr/jgc/mlm
