Get ready for a riveting ride, on Sunday, July 27, 2025, as the next episode of SHAKE IT OFF WITH MERT & LUCAS, LIVE! delivers two powerhouse conversations that promise insight, energy, and inspiration.

First up, Chief Medaria “Rondo” Arradondo joins us to reflect on a career that’s been anything but ordinary. In his new memoir, Chief Rondo, he delves into the challenges and triumphs of leading the Minneapolis Police Department through pivotal moments in history. From pushing for reform to navigating the weight of public scrutiny, Arradondo brings a human voice to complex questions of justice, leadership, and trust. It’s a deeply personal, fiercely intelligent dialogue that will leave listeners rethinking the importance of policing and the meaning of accountability.

Then, tech visionary Eli Lopian joins the conversation to share radical new thinking from his book AICracy: Beyond Democracy. As founder of Typemock and a longtime advocate for ethical innovation, Lopian explores how artificial intelligence could reshape governance, decision-making, and the very fabric of democracy. Provocative and unapologetically bold, his ideas challenge assumptions and chart a possible future where algorithms and ideals collide.
