FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1262 The Pyramid Code: Was Giza the World's First Power Plant? Forget everything you've been told about the Great Pyramid. Tonight on Strange Planet, engineer and author Christopher Dunn takes a sledgehammer to the orthodox narrative of ancient Egypt. For decades, Dunn has argued the Great Pyramid wasn't a tomb at all—but a machine: a precisely engineered, resonating power plant capable of generating energy, detecting earthquakes, and perhaps even safeguarding entire civilizations. From Tesla's shadow looming over the Giza Plateau to newly discovered underground structures, Dunn reveals a hidden history that could change our future. Was Egypt's greatest monument the blueprint for a clean-energy revolution the elites don't want you to know? GUEST: Christopher Dunn is a British-born engineer with over 50 years of experience in manufacturing and precision engineering. Combining his technical expertise with a lifelong passion for ancient mysteries, Dunn authored the groundbreaking The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt, Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt, and his latest, GIZA: The Tesla Connection. His meticulous research challenges mainstream Egyptology, offering hard evidence that the Great Pyramid was not a tomb, but an advanced energy machine. A sought-after speaker, Dunn bridges the gap between engineering and archaeology, uncovering a lost chapter of human history that may hold the key to our future.

Pretend we made a witty "third and taking-too-long" pun, because that's what we -- and guest Kim "Best Thing" Reed -- thought about Glen Powell vehicle Chad Powers. It isn't bad, but between the first-drafty jokes and getting stuck between two tones, we're not sure you should watch all the way to the end zone. Okay, let's ditch the football puns to go Around The Dial with On Brand With Jimmy Fallon, Kim's recent-reality overview, and Sarah's High Maintenance rewatch; and let's see if the panel respected "Authority," Sarah's L&O: SVU Canon pitch. Nicole Beharie won, Mid-Century Modern lost, and we juggled a hot potato of HBO series "lifers" in Game Time. Pair your podcast app with your Cybertruck's sound system and join us! GUESTS

WHY DO CUTTING EDGE EVS STILL HAVE A 12 VOLT BATTERY? Welcome back to EV News Daily, welcome The Tech Sheet, the name we give to special bonus episodes which explain the tech behind EVs. Despite the advances in electric vehicle technology, from massive lithium-ion battery packs to sophisticated power management systems, virtually every modern electric vehicle still carries what appears to be an automotive relic: the humble 12-volt lead-acid battery. This seemingly anachronistic component, dating back to automotive conventions established in the 1950s, continues to play a critical role in even the most advanced electric vehicles. The persistence of 12V systems in cutting-edge EVs represents a fascinating intersection of legacy engineering, practical necessity, safety requirements, and economic considerations that have proven remarkably resistant to disruption. The recent introduction of Tesla's Cybertruck with its groundbreaking 48-volt electrical architecture has reignited industry discussions about whether the time has finally come to abandon the decades-old 12V standard. Tesla's decision to share its 48V implementation documentation with other automakers has created both opportunity and controversy, raising fundamental questions about the future of automotive electrical systems. Yet two years after the Cybertruck's launch, the industry has largely remained committed to traditional 12V architectures, revealing deep-seated challenges that extend far beyond simple technical preferences. A reminder our bonus shows are exclusively for our Patreon supporters. For the first 7 days, only Patreon insiders get early access, their name on the list of legends for Executive Producers and above, and the power to shape future shows. If being in the know and recognised as a supporter sounds like you, join us now at patreon.com/evnewsdaily and become part of something special. 6-Volt Era (1920s–1950s): Early cars used simple 6-volt systems for lighting, ignition, and basic accessories. Electric Starter Innovation (1912): Cadillac's electric starter replaced hazardous hand cranking, creating the first real demand for onboard batteries. Primitive Battery Tech: Early lead-acid batteries were heavy, maintenance-intensive, but crucially rechargeable, forming the backbone of automotive electrification. Transition to 12 Volts (1953–1956): GM pioneered the switch to 12 volts to handle more powerful engines, advanced lighting, and growing accessory loads. Efficiency of Higher Voltage: Doubling voltage reduced current needs, allowing thinner wiring, cost savings in copper, and improved reliability. Industry Standardization: By 1956, nearly all US automakers adopted 12 volts, though some European brands (e.g., VW) stuck with 6 volts into the 1960s. Failed 42-Volt Push (1990s–2000s): Attempts to move to 42 volts collapsed due to entrenched 12-volt supply chains, high transition costs, and improvements in electronics that stretched 12-volt capacity. Dual Systems in EVs: Modern EVs use high-voltage packs (400–800V) for propulsion plus a separate 12-volt system for safe, standardized accessory power. Critical Role of 12 Volts in EVs: Powers ECUs, startup systems, safety features, and even contactors that enable the high-voltage battery—failure immobilizes the car. Manufacturing & Service Dependence: Wiring harness complexity, global supply chains, technician training, and standardized safety/service procedures all lock in 12-volt dominance. Economic & Regulatory Inertia: Supplier ecosystems, cost-benefit barriers, and established safety frameworks have long prevented alternative low-voltage standards from taking over. Tesla's 48-Volt Revolution (2023, Cybertruck): First production vehicle to adopt full 48-volt architecture; reduces current loads, wiring weight, and improves efficiency but required custom components outside traditional supplier chains.

The internet continues its chaotic march, with a TikTok deal potentially happening (for real this time, maybe), while LimeWire bought the Fyre Fest brand, because more viruses are always a great idea. Corporate America is going full AI-bro with massive layoffs at Fiverr, xAI, and Google, while OpenAI reveals people are using ChatGPT for pretty much everything but coding. Age verification is coming to apps and online services in California and New York, because apparently, teenagers need protection (after the fact). Elsewhere, nudists have declared war on SpaceX over rocket launches, and fans are ditching Elon since he started being so insufferable; even a Tesla engineer quit and roasted him spectacularly, all while NHTSA investigates Tesla's fire-prone door handles.In the world of entertainment, we're catching up on Wednesday and Foundation S3 (just pretend the books never existed, your brain will be rewired!), and Upload wrapped up its truncated season nicely. The 2003 Freaky Friday was a fun, nostalgic trip through early 2000s L.A., reminding us of all the cool places that are now just... gone. Alien: Earth and Gen V S2 are on our watchlist, and we'll see if Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 lives up to its promise. The Witcher S4, featuring Liam Hemsworth as Geralt (aka the Dick Switch), drops in October, with Laurence Fishburne making it somewhat palatable. The Lilith Fair documentary is peak 90s, and Meta's latest dystopian product was so bad it made the Cybertruck demo look good. Apple's new AI features are cool, but the iOS 26 "liquid glass" update and its awful crossfade feature are less so; also, meditation apparently has a dark side, but binaural beats might just make you rave. Publishers Clearing House's bankruptcy means "forever" winners won't get paid (always take the lump sum!); international sellers are charging absurd shipping to avoid American buyers; and the deepfake Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kills Darth Maul (Live Action) is surprisingly good.Steve Martin's Born Standing Up is still great life advice, and the Carrot App the Musical is, against all odds, amazing. Robert Redford has sadly passed, a legend who gave us Sneakers, and L.A.'s own Clayton Kershaw is retiring at the end of the season, a true one-team legend who deserves all the accolades.Sponsors:MasterClass - Right now, our listeners get an additional 15% off any annual membership at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKS.

Send us a textRHOC-The HawkTua Heard ‘Round TemeculaRHOC S19 E10 – Whine or Champagne?Podcast SummaryThe episode kicks off with lighter moments—Shannon getting Botox, Jenn and Ryan washing the Cybertruck, and Heather unboxing packages—before the drama begins brewing.Tamra invites the ladies on a quick Temecula vineyard getaway, but Shannon hesitates, leaning on her therapist for advice about her rocky friendship with Tamra. Meanwhile, Heather records her podcast with guest Dylan Mulvaney, sharing heartfelt thoughts on parenting her diverse kids. Emily and Jenn bond while volunteering at an animal shelter, but Emily also opens up about the struggles of balancing Luke's needs with her other children's.Tension builds as Tamra's shady gift for Shannon (a book titled How Not to Be a Miserable Cow) has even Sophie calling her out for being petty. Gina warns Travis that she doesn't want Tamra stirring things up with Shannon, while Heather hosts Emily and Gretchen for a sleepover.The vineyard trip itself delivers classic Housewives chaos: Shannon overpacks (even pans and muffin tins), forgets her flipper tooth, and cooks breakfast. The ladies take sidecars to wine tasting where Shannon's snort makes it onto Tamra's glasses, and the infamous "HawkTua vs. swallower" debate makes Shannon squirm. Heather brags about her Groundlings classes, while Emily stirs tension by repeating Jenn's comments about Heather pacifying Tamra.Dinner brings the “fatty photo” drama back up, with Tamra admitting she was being shady. Jenn pushes back, but Tamra brushes it off with a half-hearted apology. Shannon explodes, calling Tamra a hypocrite and accusing her of never taking accountability. Tamra fires back, bringing up Shannon's drinking—prompting Gina to admit she is worried about her. The episode ends with Shannon breaking down, saying her life has been better without Tamra, but the unresolved tension looms heavy over the vineyard.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/
Even though Google's AI Overviews were introduced with a comically rocky start, it's about to face a far more serious challenge. Penske Media, the publisher for Rolling Stone, Variety, Billboard and others, filed a lawsuit against Google, claiming the tech giant illegally powers its AI Overviews feature with content from its sites; a California bill that would require operating system and app store providers to verify users' ages before they can download apps has cleared the Assembly 58-0, and will now move on to Gov. Gavin Newsom; and the rear-wheel drive trim of the Tesla Cybertruck lasted about five months before it was unceremoniously removed from online sales. The Long Range model represented the most affordable Cybertruck option with its starting price of $69,990 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Comentamos el futuro de la Starship tras sus múltiples lanzamientos y los desafíos pendientes para alcanzar las misiones a Marte y la Luna, en particular el programa Artemis. Explicamos la complejidad de los repostajes orbitales y las presiones a las que se enfrenta SpaceX, y la dificultad de cumplir con los plazos prometidos, como la llegada a la Luna en 2026. Repasamos el Master Plan 4 de Tesla. Ha quedado muy vago y etéreo en comparación con los planes maestros anteriores de la compañía. Comentamos cómo este nuevo plan, centrado en conceptos generales de IA, robótica y sostenibilidad, carece de la especificidad y las metas concretas que caracterizaron las estrategias pasadas de Tesla. Continuando con Tesla, profundizamos en el estado de sus promesas de Full Self-Driving y los Robotaxis, señalando que, a pesar de los anuncios, el servicio de robotaxis en Austin todavía requiere de un supervisor humano, lo que pone en cuestión el nivel de autonomía real. Analizamos las audaces predicciones de Musk sobre la cobertura de robotaxis y el valor futuro del robot Optimus, comparándolas con el historial de retrasos de otros proyectos como el Tesla Semi y el estancamiento del Cybertruck. - Tesla on X: «Master Plan Part IV» / X - Tesla moves ‘Robotaxi' safety monitor from passenger to driver's seat | Electrek - El nuevo Tesla Model Y Performance es una auténtica bestia, más potencia, más autonomía… y un precio que sorprende - Tesla sorprende con el nuevo Model Y L, un SUV más familiar con 6 plazas y tamaño de BYD Tang - SpaceX hace sin problemas un segundo encendido estático de la próxima Starship que va a lanzar - Musk Donated $15M to Trump, GOP in June | Newsmax.com - Exclusive: Tesla's brand loyalty collapsed after Musk backed Trump, data shows | Reuters - Cybertruck Leads Tesla's Used-Car Collapse - Tesla mantiene la caída de las ventas en Europa ante el ascenso de su rival chino BYD ELON está presentado por Matías S.

Jill and Tom open the show by sharing information about a Chicago event, Electrify Chicago, coming to the area September 12-13. Next, Tom shares some news about Chinese new-car door handles, and how some of them will soon be illegal. The hosts also discussed the relationship between the Toyota Highlander and Grand Highlander. With the “Grand” gaining popularity, the Japanese maker is tweaking the standard Highlander's trim-level lineup—making it more expensive for 2026. Listen in for more details. Likewise, Tesla is raising prices on its slow selling Cybertruck pickup truck, specifically the top-trim Cyberbeast. The EV maker is raising the Cyberbeast base price by $15,000, but making a number of options and features standard. Jill and Tom discuss Telsa's motives for adjusting Cybertruck prices. Still in the first segment, Jill reviews the compact Volkswagen Tiguan crossover. Listen in to get Jill's take on the top-trim SEL R-Line. In the second segment, the hosts welcome Toyota production engineers Samantha Barber and Becky Brophy to the show. Both guests are veterans of the Rebelle Rally, and share how Toyota learns from motorsports, and how returning to the event each year contributes to product development. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's “Spelling!” quiz. Listen in to see if Jill can spell BISCAYNE, as well as four other tricky model names.

"What happens when a man meditates in the desert and gets run over by a Cybertruck — while his kids watch?"Live from Pluckers on Lovers & Greenville in Dallas, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into the wildest stories from this year's Burning Man — and trust us, you've never heard a festival recap like this.From a fatal blood-soaked mystery, to a surprise desert birth, to a hallucinogen-fueled meditation gone horribly wrong, this episode is a chaotic blend of comedy, shock, and cultural commentary. The crew brings their signature humor and razor-sharp wit to dissect the madness of Black Rock City — including the infamous orgy tent, celebrity sightings, and the $50,000 price tag of enlightenment gone wrong.
This week on Blurry Hysteria, we're plugging into the absurdity matrix with military-grade trucks and carrot-chasing tech.First up: The U.S. Air Force has big Elon energy as it considers Tesla Cybertrucks as mobile missile launchers. Because nothing screams “stealth warfare” like a stainless-steel wedge tearing across the desert, ready to launch payloads and post about it on X. Buckle up—this isn't your grandpa's Cold War.Then it's off to Florida (because of course it is), where robotic rabbits are being deployed to help test roadside sensors. Yes, Florida is now a place where bunny-bots roam freely in the name of traffic safety. Somewhere, a real rabbit is deeply offended.It's tech gone wild in the best (and worst) ways, and Conspiracy Bot's already volunteering to be retrofitted with missile pods and bunny ears.Links & Resources

Witness the ultimate off-road showdown in "Cybertruck vs. Jeep: The EV Revolution Hits the Trails!"
This week on America on the Road, we put the spotlight on two 2025 model-year vehicles that represent very different segments with wildly different powertrains but share a commitment to technology, practicality, and style — the 2025 Volvo EX40 and the 2025 Hyundai Palisade. Leading off, host Jack Nerad delivers a detailed road test of the 2025 Volvo EX40 Twin Motor Ultra. While the name may sound new, the EX40 is essentially a renamed version of Volvo's previous XC40 Recharge. This all-electric compact SUV features dual motors delivering 402 horsepower and 494 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 78 kWh battery that provides up to 275 miles of range. Its minimalist Scandinavian interior includes heated seats front and rear, a panoramic sunroof, Google-powered infotainment, and a Harman Kardon audio system. With DC fast-charging capabilities and a long list of advanced safety features, the EX40 offers luxury EV buyers a stylish and well-rounded all-wheel-drive package, but is its as-tested price of $62,045 a hill too high? Next up is co-host Chris Teague's road test of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade, a three-row SUV that's become a go-to family vehicle thanks to its spacious cabin, upscale features, and user-friendly tech. Powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine producing 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, the Palisade delivers confident performance through an 8-speed automatic transmission, available in both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations. It earns an EPA-estimated 21 MPG combined, giving it solid range for long-distance travel. Inside, the Palisade offers seating for up to seven, 18 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, and a maximum of 86.4 cubic feet with seats folded. It also tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Its near-luxury feel, intuitive tech, and extensive standard safety features win it kudos from both Chris and Jack, and they'll have more in this road test. This week's special guest is Frank Hanley, Senior Director of Automotive Benchmarking at J.D. Power. Frank joins the show to break down the results of the 2025 APEAL Study, which measures how emotionally satisfying a vehicle is to own and drive. He explains which brands are connecting with owners on a deeper level and what manufacturers can learn from the data. It's an insightful and data-rich segment that pulls back the curtain on the psychology of car ownership. This week's top automotive news stories: • Chrysler Gets Rugged with the Pacifica Grizzly Peak Concept Chrysler has revealed an overlanding-ready concept minivan, the Pacifica Grizzly Peak, at Overland Expo Mountain West. Featuring lifted suspension, all-terrain tires, roof storage, and a reconfigured cargo area, the concept taps into the booming “van life” trend with AWD practicality. • New Tax Break Replaces EV Credit A new U.S. tax policy will let buyers deduct interest on car loans for new vehicles built in the United States, replacing the expiring $7,500 EV credit. The deduction, estimated to save buyers about $576 (roughly), applies to U.S.-made gas, hybrid, and electric vehicles purchased between 2025 and 2028, but excludes leases and used cars. • Tesla Hikes Cyberbeast Price by $15K Tesla has increased the price of its flagship Cybertruck variant, the Cyberbeast, to $114,990, adding a new “Luxe Package” with Full-Self Driving and Supercharger access. The move has puzzled analysts, as Cybertruck sales remain slow despite massive early demand. • NHTSA Investigates Honda, Acura Engine Failures Over 1.4 million Honda and Acura vehicles are under investigation for engine defects that could lead to sudden failure. The NHTSA probe focuses on V6-powered models like the Acura MDX and Honda Pilot, with more than 400 complaints filed to date. • VinFast Abandons Direct Sales Model Vietnamese EV maker VinFast is shifting away from its Tesla-style direct sales approach in the U.S. The company has opened its first franchised dealership in San Die...

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHave you ever wondered what could trap someone inside a high-tech vehicle? The tragic case of Michael Sheehan, who perished in his Tesla Cybertruck after a crash, raises alarming questions about vehicle safety design. According to a wrongful death lawsuit, the Cybertruck's electrically operated doors became inoperable after power loss, with manual release latches allegedly too difficult to locate in an emergency. This shocking revelation forces us to question whether automotive innovation sometimes sacrifices essential safety features for aesthetic appeal.Switching gears to career advice, we explore three seemingly innocent phrases that could instantly disqualify you during job interviews. Mentioning your entrepreneurial ambitions signals to employers that you're already planning your exit strategy. Surprisingly, emphasizing "work-life balance" might suggest misaligned priorities to potential employers searching for passionate, committed candidates. Even honestly disclosing a previous layoff could work against you, as executives often assume top performers are reassigned rather than let go during downsizing. These counterintuitive insights might just save your next job opportunity.For movie buffs, we discuss the critical reception of "The Roses," a remake of the 1989 dark comedy starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Despite featuring talents like Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, critics are panning it as "weak and witless." But as seasoned viewers know, critical consensus doesn't always align with audience enjoyment. This discussion raises our question of the day: What highly acclaimed, universally praised film left you thoroughly unimpressed? Share your controversial movie opinions and join the conversation about when critical darlings miss the mark for regular viewers.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Someone decided to take a Cybertruck on the Rubicon and it went as it expected. After multiple steering equipment failures the Cybertruck was recovered after 7 days on the trail, but should they have been there in the first place? Rivian has done it a few times now, but some vehicles just shouldn't be in certain places, like the Rubicon. Ford and Jeep are making some big moves, but not just in recalls this time. And in big news, DEF might finally be dead! The Avants Podcast is brought to you by our friends at STEK USA and Carter Seattle!

Well, strap in, because this week the tech world decided to set itself on fire just for kicks. First up, Elon Musk's much-hyped Tesla Diner in Los Angeles is already a culinary disaster, slashing its menu faster than you can say “over-promise and under-deliver.” Speaking of rolling garbage fires, the Cybertruck now apparently sounds like Fred Sanford's junk pickup rattling down the street, a fitting soundtrack for the ongoing dumpster fire that was Project 2025. Remember how that was supposed to save trillions? Turns out it was just a festival of bullshit math that likely cost taxpayers a fortune. It seems the only thing being successfully launched is our collective patience into the sun.The implosions continued with the launch of GPT-5, which effectively lobotomized its predecessor and sent thousands of users into mourning for their suddenly stupid digital "friends." It's a harsh lesson for anyone who thought building their business—or their entire social life—in someone else's backyard was a bright idea. While the normals are dealing with emotionally unavailable AI, the tech billionaires who broke the world are busy prepping for the collapse they engineered. Zuckerberg is building a $300 million apocalypse bunker in Hawaii, Sam Altman is stockpiling guns and gas masks, and Peter Thiel has his New Zealand hideout. It's comforting to know the architects of our dystopian future have their escape hatches ready. Meanwhile, Meta was caught with internal documents greenlighting its AI chatbots to have "sensual conversations" with kids, proving once again that when it comes to tech ethics, the call is coming from inside a burning, abandoned house.If you thought it couldn't get dumber, Musk and Altman got into a public slap-fight over who's more full of crap, with Musk's own AI, Grok, hilariously declaring its creator the loser. Google, admitting its search results are now a toxic sludge pile, has decided to just let users build their own news echo chambers. On a more nostalgic note, AOL Dial-Up is finally logging off for good, taking the screeching sound of our formative years with it. As we contemplate trading our devices for pitchforks, we're retreating to simpler times, like teaching our kids Solitaire with premium Star Wars playing cards (a concept apparently too advanced for Dave) or justifying dropping a cool grand on the new 9,000-piece Lego Death Star, which features a hot tub full of Stormtroopers in swim trunks. From a surprisingly decent Wicked movie adaptation to the sad, slow demise of Kodak, it's enough to make anyone want to become a Grumpy Old Gardener.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Chevy set a new EV range record going nearly 1,060 miles on a single charge in an optimized, but unmodified Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck that no one saw coming.

Tesla's sales are falling across the globe—from the UK to China to California. So why did the board just hand Elon Musk a $29 billion pay package? In this video, we break down the contradictions at the heart of Tesla's current moment: collapsing demand, the Cybertruck debacle, the robotaxi fantasy, and a boardroom that seems more loyal to Musk than to shareholders.We'll explore:Why Tesla's fundamentals are weakeningHow Musk's pay compares to other CEOsThe governance crisis behind the headlinesWhether Tesla is still a growth company—or just a cult stockThis isn't just about one company. It's about how corporate governance is bending under the weight of celebrity, and what happens when hype outpaces performance.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

Public Affairs thought they could silence him by revoking access to curated news updates (LOL), but jokes on them—he's still lighting up your eardrums. From Cybertrucks as target practice to tragic gate incidents to the DOD quietly spending $175B on a missile shield no one's allowed to talk about, this one's packed with headshakers, jaw-droppers, and classic Ones Ready sass. Come for the updates, stay for the chaos.

How good is Dr. GPT? This week, Oz and Karah spill the tea on Elon Musk’s new retro-futurist diner in LA—where robots serve popcorn and the food comes in Cybertruck-shaped boxes. Then, Oz gets serious about Trump’s new AI Action Plan and what it could mean for American infrastructure and free speech. Karah addresses the rise of TikTok PI’s and public shaming. And finally, on Chat and Me, AI makes a diagnosis that is a little too real.
