FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1268 Pagan Shadows: Ancient Gods Reborn in Woke America In this riveting episode of Strange Planet, Pastor Lucas Miles unveils a chilling reality: the ancient pagan gods like Baal and Moloch haven't vanished—they've reinvented themselves in the guises of social justice, gender ideology, and environmentalism. As America hurtles toward a full-scale pagan revival, Miles exposes how Hollywood glorifies witchcraft, celebrities cast spells, and youth swap Bibles for tarot cards. With insights from his collaboration with the late Charlie Kirk, who penned the foreword to his book Pagan Threat, Miles delivers a stark diagnosis and a bold battle plan: deepen discipleship, reclaim the public square, and resist the encroaching darkness. Is "woke" ideology a religion in disguise? GUEST: Pastor Lucas Miles is a bestselling author of Woke Jesus and Pagan Threat, a fearless voice exposing spiritual threats in modern culture. As Senior Director of Turning Point USA Faith, he collaborated closely with Charlie Kirk, who hailed him as a "warrior for Christ." Host of Church and State on Epoch Times and co-host of The Church Boys podcast, Miles has interviewed stars like Mario Lopez, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Jim Caviezel. Featured on Fox News, Newsmax, and CBN, he equips Christians to combat pagan revivals through discipleship, evangelism, and cultural engagement.

Dr. Chloe Carmichael on Free Speech, Fear, and the Psychology of Silence In the wake of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk's assassination, America faces a terrifying question: Can I say that? Dr. Chloe Carmichael—a Columbia-trained clinical psychologist and USA Today bestselling author—joins Richard Syrett to expose how censorship and cancel culture are not protecting us but psychologically destroying us. In her new book, Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly, Dr. Chloe argues that silencing ideas breeds fear, anxiety, and fragility. Together, they explore why free speech isn't just a political issue—it's a psychological survival mechanism for a society on the brink.

A frequent guest on Dr. Phil and Ask Dr. Drew, she's been featured at the Steamboat Institute Freedom Conference alongside Fox News anchor Bret Baier.

But beneath the headlines, cracks are spreading fast. Why was security so lax at a known high-risk event? Why did Israeli outlets break the story before U.S. media? And why do key surveillance videos appear altered or missing? Investigative author Geoffrey Gilson — a former Thatcher speechwriter and expert on covert power — joins Richard Syrett to expose the threads connecting politics, intelligence, and the media in what may be America's most suspicious “open-and-shut” case. GUEST: Geoffrey Gilson is a British-born investigative author, attorney, and political strategist who once penned speeches for Margaret Thatcher.

UFOs stalked the runways, aliens invaded his hangar, poltergeists raged, and possessions spiraled into violence—leaving two men dead and a buried "body" as the ultimate enigma. Join author-investigator Patricia O'Connell as she unearths her late brother Jim's hidden files, recovered data, and mind-bending twists suggesting interdimensional "bleedthrough"—not just extraterrestrials, but demonic contagion infecting minds and machines. Is this the new Skinwalker Ranch, or pure evil leaking from another realm? Shocking evidence awaits. GUEST: Patricia O'Connell is an acclaimed author, investigator, and former aerospace/nuclear communications specialist whose analytical expertise grounds her pursuit of the unexplained. She inherited the infamous Bleedthrough case from her late brother, Jim O'Connell—a UFO abductee and founder of The Xperiencers Network, dedicated to documenting extraterrestrial encounters. Driven by Jim's unsolved death amid the investigation, Pat meticulously reconstructed the Clay Wheeler UFO saga at Sparks County Airport, uncovering electromagnetic anomalies, possession accounts, and suppressed evidence. Her debut book, Bleedthrough: A True Story of Aliens, Demons, and Pure Evil in Texas (2025), blends rigorous forensics with chilling revelations, positioning her as a fearless bridge between science and the supernatural.

On today's incredibly frustrating episode of Quick Charge, Tesla is making it easier than ever to make fun of them by rolling out a new, "affordable" Model Y that costs $2,000 more than the "expensive" one did last week, thanks to the cancellation of the $7,500 tax credit that Elon Musk (the guy who is so good at business that he's allegedly worth $1 trillion) spent $200 million campaigning for. We've also got the new, single-motor Volvo EX30 at a price that undercuts the cheap Tesla, but includes a full length glass roof that isn't inexplicably covered in upholstery to punish poor people. All this and more – enjoy!

"Are we really solving political disagreements with dog poop now?"That's the jaw-dropping question that launches this segment of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle, featuring your favorite hosts: Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.In this wild ride of a segment, the crew breaks down a bizarre viral story involving a woman allegedly smearing dog feces on a Trump-wrapped Cybertruck in Dallas. But it's not just the act that's outrageous—it's the fallout. Social media sleuths, online review bombs, and the blurred lines between truth and mob justice take center stage as the gang explores the modern madness of misinformation.

In her explosive new book Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor, investigative author Sarah McCarthy exposes the hidden story the media refused to tell. Drawing from Juliette Bryant's secret diary, McCarthy reveals a chilling world where elite scientists, intelligence agencies, and global leaders converged—using victims not only for blackmail, but for covert experiments in eugenics, cloning, and mind control. In this episode of Strange Planet, Richard Syrett sits down with McCarthy to crack open the darkest secret of our age: Epstein as prototype for elite power. GUEST: Sarah McCarthy is a South African-born investigative author who exposes the covert alliances between global elites, intelligence agencies, and controversial science. A former top copywriter for brands like Ogilvy & Mather and Burberry, she now applies her skills to uncovering hidden power structures. Her latest book, Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor, reveals how Jeffrey Epstein's operation extended far beyond sex trafficking—into eugenics, cloning, and mind-control experimentation disguised as philanthropy.

In this episode of More Than Commas, Paul Adams challenges listeners to consider whether their wealth is a tool or a trophy. Drawing on Dr. Thomas Stanley's The Millionaire Next Door and Stop Acting Rich, Paul explains how wealth flaunted for status can trap us in comparison, distraction, and fragility, while wealth used as a tool creates freedom, impact, and legacy. He highlights the virtue of frugality once admired in America, contrasting it with today's obsession with visible success. True wealth, he argues, often hides in 401(k)s, rental properties, and investments no one sees. Paul also shares a personal story about his new Tesla Cybertruck and how visibility has changed how others perceive him. With humility and reflection, he invites listeners to examine their own spending habits and ask: Are you building tools for a meaningful life, or collecting trophies for display? -- Timestamps: 01:15 – The fragile nature of status-based wealth 02:40 – Wealth as a tool for impact and legacy 03:25 – Biblical wisdom: contentment and generosity 05:00 – The traps of comparison, distraction, and fragility 06:40 – The lost virtue of frugality and visible wealth 08:20 – Hidden wealth: assets no one sees 09:50 – Paul's Cybertruck story & final reflections   -- This Material is Intended for General Public Use.

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.

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.

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/

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.

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.

Yes, Florida is now a place where bunny-bots roam freely in the name of traffic safety.

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.
