Thomas Haden Church Is Here to Help the Shop — and Will's Erections — in ‘Tires' Season 2 Trailer (Exclusive)
Valley Forge Auto needs a prayer to stay open. It got Thomas Haden Church. On Netflix's Tires, Will (Steven Gerben), an uncomfortable and unqualified heir to an auto repair chain, attempts to grow his father's business — if his cousin Shane (Shane Gillis), a shop mechanic, doesn't destroy it first. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Sirens' Review: Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock and Julianne Moore Star in Netflix's Erratic Slice of Affluence Porn Meghann Fahy Compares 'Sirens' to 'White Lotus': "Everyone's Obsessed With Wealth" Vince Vaughn: 'Nonnas' Is an "Outlaw Movie" Amid Changing Industry as Netflix Film Extends Hot Streak The first season of Tires saw Shane and Will collab on a new marketing idea: sell tires at cost, and upsell their customers on other services. For two screwups, it worked wonderfully — for a little while. In season two, 'Will and Shane rush to grow personally and professionally without fully realizing the cost of doing business,' according to Netflix. Also, that whole tires plan that titled the show may bring down the whole house of cards. Shane's dad (Thomas Haden Church), Will's uncle, is here to save his brother's/nephew's/son's business. In the season two trailer, which The Hollywood Reporter can first share, Shane's got a girlfriend, Will's got 'big time squirrel vibes' and the show has (a little bit of) Vince Vaughn. Shane's dad has testosterone cream — and now Will is gonna have his 'penis fill up with blood' whether he 'like(s) it or not.' Oh, and together, Valley Forge Auto finally has some proper sexual harassment training. It… doesn't go well. Tires, based on a Gillis YouTube pilot, is created by Gillis, Gerben and comedian John McKeever, who also write the show together. Those three executive produce the series along with Brandon James for Rough House; Brian Stern and Kenneth Slotnick for AGI Entertainment Media & Management; and Becky Astphan. McKeever directs the series. The Tires cast also includes Chris O'Connor, Kilah Fox and Stavros Halkias; comedian Andrew Schulz guest stars. Tires is the second production from Gillis and McKeever's production company, Dad Sick Productions. Gillis' standup special, Beautiful Dogs, was the first.

Pa. businesses cashing in thanks to Truist Championship being held at Philadelphia Cricket Club
The Truist Championship is officially underway at the historic Philadelphia Cricket Club, and while all eyes are on the players, small businesses in nearby Flourtown are already cashing in. Just minutes from the course, restaurants like MaGerk's Pub & Grill are seeing increased foot traffic as golf fans, players and their teams begin to roll into town. "Literally everyone is talking about it," manager Lena Scott said. "We've had caddies from the club giving us the inside scoop on what to expect." It's not just bars and restaurants gearing up. Local coffee shop Wake Coffee is treating the week as a high-stakes test run, stocking up on everything from breakfast staples to fresh brews. "We're really hoping to fuel the tournament crowd," owner Brandon Conniff said. Tourism officials say the championship is already delivering big results. "Total hotel room revenue for the month of May in Montgomery County will be over $30 million," said Jake Markezin, senior VP of operations at the Valley Forge Tourism and Convention Board. "It's definitely going to tee up 2026," he said, pointing to upcoming mega-events like the PGA at Aronimink, the World Cup matches in Philadelphia and MLB's All-Star Game. Visitors aren't just playing or watching golf — they're spending locally. Carpenter Lucas Blanco and his crew have been working on the course and staying nearby. "We got an Airbnb locally, so we're adding to the economy there," Blanco said as he and his coworkers dined at MaGerk's. Back at MaGerk's, the team is ready for the crowds. "We've got three full bars. Plenty of space," Scott said. "We're getting everything set up for big crowds." Many Flourtown businesses are running specials this week, so even if you don't have a Truist Championship ticket, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the week.

Vanguard's Record Fee Cuts Tighten Screws on BlackRock, Invesco
Vanguard Group Inc. 's biggest salvo yet in its campaign to cut fees for the investing masses presents industry rivals with a painful choice. Follow suit and lose potentially hundreds of millions in revenue — or hold the line and risk losing badly needed market share. The Valley Forge, Pennsylvania-based company unleashed its largest-ever fee reduction this week, slashing its average asset-weighted expense ratio to just 0.07% across its $10 trillion under management — a sliver of the industry average of 0.44%. The move sent shock waves across asset management, dragging down BlackRock Inc. to its worst day since 2022 on Monday while also sending the likes of Invesco Ltd. and State Street Corp. tumbling.
