But what if the real danger wasn't the pathogen—it was the protocol? Tonight on Strange Planet, Richard Syrett ventures into one of the darkest, least examined chapters of the COVID era. Drawing on firsthand testimony, medical records, and hard data, this episode investigates allegations that thousands of vulnerable patients in the UK's National Health Service may not have died from COVID, but because of policy-driven medical decisions. Sedation. Isolation. Denial of treatment—carried out under emergency authority and bureaucratic language. GUESTS: Jacqui Deevoy is an investigative journalist and filmmaker who spent decades writing for Britain's mainstream press before becoming persona non grata for asking forbidden questions. During the COVID era, she uncovered alarming patterns inside UK hospitals and care homes—blanket DNR orders, family exclusion, and the widespread use of end-of-life drugs on non-terminal patients. After the sudden death of her own father, Deevoy compiled testimonies from 42 families into Murdered by the State, a chilling civilian record of alleged involuntary euthanasia carried out under emergency powers. Richard Cox is an author, researcher, and host of The Deep State Consciousness Podcast. As co-editor of Murdered by the State, Cox provides the book's analytical backbone, examining excess mortality data, NHS protocols, drug procurement records, and historical precedents like the Liverpool Care Pathway. His work frames the COVID death surge not as medical chaos, but as systemic compliance—raising disturbing questions about how policy, not pathology, may have driven outcomes, and why those powers never fully disappeared.

Welcome to episode 295 of the Spun Today Podcast, In this episode, Tony Ortiz dives deep into the world of storytelling by breaking down the Black Mirror episode, "Common People." He explores how great speculative fiction doesn't invent new emotions—it amplifies the ones we already know all too well. Tony discusses how everyday anxieties like money, health, and love become the heartbeat of compelling narratives, especially when survival itself is transformed into a subscription service and love is put under extreme pressure.   You'll also hear writing takeaways on grounding relatable characters, escalating stakes through economics instead of violence, and how subtle horror can be more powerful than gore. On top of an insightful TV breakdown, this episode welcomes Ben Affleck and Matt Damon into the "Goats Doing Goat Shit" segment for their groundbreaking efforts in reshaping how film crews get compensated. Whether you're a writer seeking fresh inspiration or just a fan of sharp analysis, this episode is packed with creative insights to fuel your craft.

-Tesla will “basically stop the production” of its Model S and X electric vehicles next quarter. So says CEO Elon Musk, who made that announcement at the automaker's earnings call for the 2025 fiscal year. You can still buy the vehicles as long as there are units to be sold, and Tesla promises to support them for as long as people have them. -Mark Zuckerberg says there's an end in sight to Reality Labs' years of multibillion-dollar losses following the company's layoffs to the metaverse division earlier this year. -Patreon creators will need to make some changes soon, thanks to Apple. On Wednesday, Patreon said Apple has renewed its requirement that all Patreon creators must move to subscription billing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

But what if that was never the point?

GUEST: Adam Gorightly is a researcher, author, and filmmaker specializing in the hidden intersections of UFO culture, intelligence operations, and psychological warfare. He is the author of Saucers, Spooks and Kooks: UFO Disinformation in the Age of Aquarius and the director of the documentary of the same name.

In this Ask Sarah episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm joined by Katie of Katie's Heart and Home. In this episode, I walk her through exactly how I approach LIVE box reveals, why they matter so much, and how I use one unboxing to create weeks (and sometimes months) of content for my business. When you go LIVE to unbox a subscription box, think about three goals: Connecting with your current subscribersSubscribers already have the box, but the LIVE gives you a chance to experience it together. Think of it like a book club. Everyone has the same thing, and you're gathering to talk about it. Creating excitement and FOMO for new customersIf you never show what's inside the box, how does anyone know what they're missing? Box reveals let people see the experience. And that's what makes them want to join. Creating content for the entire monthOne box reveal fuels emails, social posts, reels, blog content, and website SEO. It's not “extra work,” It's smart use of something you're already doing. I always wait until about 90% of boxes are delivered before going LIVE. Once I know most subscribers have their box, I schedule the LIVE and let people know it's coming. When you go LIVE: Open with a strong hook right away Share a little about your day to let people join Ask questions early to encourage engagement Start with the hero item and explain why you built the box around it Walk through the box exactly how you curated it Ask viewers to share their favorite item (even if no one is LIVE yet) And yes, sometimes no one is watching LIVE. That's okay. Still act like they are, because the replay matters just as much as the LIVE moment. An unboxing is so much more than just showing products. Talk about: Why you chose the theme How each item connects to the others What inspired the curation How you wanted subscribers to feel when they opened the box Before you end the LIVE, always tease the next box. Share colors, patterns, or a small sneak peek, but never everything. That curiosity keeps people watching and coming back. From one live unboxing, you can create: A replay post At least two emails A fast unboxing reel Individual product posts Lifestyle photos Blog content SEO-friendly website pages If you have five to seven items in a box, you easily have a week or more of content. And for quarterly box owners, this is how you stretch one box across 90 days. You don't need anything fancy. A sturdy overhead camera stand A phone or camera Simple lighting Hands-only filming when you don't want to be on camera For reels, film a quick overhead unboxing, speed it up, add music and text. Quick and easy. A Note for Quarterly Subscription Boxes: Quarterly boxes can feel harder because you don't have something new every month. But that's exactly why box reveals matter. When you use one box intentionally, you can: Keep talking about it without repeating yourself Stay visible between shipments Continue inviting people to join or get on the waitlist Build momentum instead of going quiet If you're not doing box reveals, especially LIVE, you're missing out on: Deeper connections with your subscribers Visibility for your business Content you already have but aren't using yet Your subscription box is not just a product. It's a content engine that supports growth, engagement, and consistent sales.

But that story collapses the moment you look closer. Tonight on Strange Planet, explorer and author Brad Olsen joins Richard Syrett to expose the hidden history of the world's most restricted continent. From ancient maps showing an ice-free Antarctica, to Nazi expeditions, Operation Highjump, vast no-fly zones, UFO encounters, and whispers of buried technology beneath the ice—this is not speculation. Brad went there. The question is no longer if Antarctica is hiding something… but why? GUEST: Brad Olsen is an explorer, researcher, and author of Secrets of Antarctica and the acclaimed Esoteric Series. He self-financed a 2019 expedition to Antarctica, crossing the Drake Passage to investigate anomalies firsthand.

While Jess is off being “Davos-famous,” the squad kicks things off with the classic California vs. New York debate. From there, it's straight into AI and VC chaos: absurd mega-seed rounds that break portfolio math, why even a great early bet like Anthropic wouldn't return a seed fund, and a revisit of Sam's view that there are only two ways to win right now—(1) have a real secret and stay capital-efficient, or (2) own the narrative. Dave flags a new “walkout culture” in AI, where executives jump ship the moment incentives shift. The crew then debates whether AI is actually shaping ideas or just polishing them (a fancy spellcheck?), why the question matters more than the answer, and how personal, computer-driving “Clawdbots” feel inevitable and maybe exactly where Apple should be headed, despite the security concerns. The episode rounds out with The Information's breaking news on Apple's AI pins, shrinking subscription moats and business-model shifts, plus detours into the New York Times' sauna-bros piece, Sam's WTF Conference protest merch, Super Bowl plans, and more.Chapters:01:00 – Hello Davos listeners!03:42 – SF vs. New York: where VC actually wins05:41 – The seed valuation "fairway" vs bloated-roads10:07 – Anthropic & OpenAI: good wins, but bad seed returns11:58 – AI founder drama: mercenary teams & narrative fundraising13:53 – Did Claude write its own constitution?15:18 – AI as spellcheck on steroids21:01 – Ralph: autonomous AI agent loop24:03 – What ClawdBot really is; symphony orchestrator26:51 – The Information breaks: Apple's AI wearable pin; are phones getting tired?29:02 – The rise of “orchestra compute” and hacked APIs31:44 – Subscription models are at risk: Whoop, Eight Sleep, Peloton, Apple41:18 – The New York Times' feature on Sauna Bros44:53 – Sam's WTF Conference merch & Montana shooting plans46:34 – Squad's Super Bowl plansWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessYouTube: https://youtu.be/AgwMFLjxQa0Connect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit

They discuss why forced saving works, why Roth structures make sense, and how these plans compare to traditional IRAs. The conversation shifts to the emotional side of retirement, emphasizing purpose, “mattering,” and the mental health risks of disengagement. Listener calls cover annuity sales masquerading as fiduciary advice, helping a widowed parent invest conservatively, and managing old 401(k)s.

Tune in for uncomfortable truths that challenge the establishment.

On the podcast, I talk with Cem about the premium trap many apps fall into, why free trials work even for freemium products, and how ‘try for $0.00' actually outperforms ‘try for free'.Top Takeaways:

In this episode of the Be Wealthy Podcast, Brett Tanner sits down with his longtime CPA, tax strategist, and trusted advisor Brian Muia for a deep dive into entrepreneurship, wealth-building, and advanced tax strategy.Brian shares his journey from growing up with limited resources to building and exiting multiple businesses, including companies in software, steel recycling, and accounting. He breaks down how early lessons around hard work, leverage, and replaceability shaped his entrepreneurial mindset — and why building a business that doesn't rely on you is the key to true freedom.The conversation goes deep into passive income, leverage, exits, subscription-based businesses, and the latest tax strategies from the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Brian explains how smart planning around depreciation, Section 179, QSBS, and opportunity zones can dramatically accelerate wealth creation for entrepreneurs and real estate investors.This episode blends real-world business lessons, mindset, and highly tactical tax insights every serious entrepreneur should understand.

Are Gay Men Ruining Their Retirement Success Options?Hoodies. Hookups. Hotels. Thirst traps.They may look fabulous — but they could be quietly destroying your retirement success.In this bold, no-BS episode of Queer Money, we break down seven very real ways gay men sabotage their financial futures, often without realizing it. Inspired by conversations in our community (and a little tough love), this episode isn't about shame — it's about clarity.If you're a gay man wondering why retirement feels out of reach despite a good income, this episode will likely hit close to home.We talk about:How status spending and “looking successful” often replace real financial securityWhy buying approval, love, or validation is one of the most expensive habits we haveThe hidden cost of “treat yourself” culture and convenience appsHow gay comparison culture quietly drains long-term wealthSubscription overload and the illusion of freedomWhy believing money is “un-gay” is one of the biggest myths holding us backThis isn't about giving up joy, pleasure, or fabulous living. It's about stopping the habits that trade short-term dopamine for long-term stress — and choosing a version of retirement that actually feels safe, free, and fulfilling.✅ Key Takeaways for Retirement SuccessRetirement success isn't about earning more — it's about leaking lessApproval spending is one of the most expensive habits gay men carryTrue self-care is financial stability, not another impulse purchaseWealth doesn't change who you are — it reveals who you've always beenIf you want a retirement that inspires you — not one you fear — this episode is your wake-up call.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1308 A.I. Digital Demons, Deepfakes, and the Crime Wave No One Will Stop Artificial intelligence is sold as neutral, helpful, inevitable. I don't buy it. On this episode of Strange Planet, I sit down with privacy pioneer Dr. Katherine Albrecht to examine the real-world crimes of A.I.—deepfakes, impersonation, psychological manipulation, and synthetic fraud already unfolding at scale. We expose systems that deceive with confidence, diffuse responsibility, and quietly reshape human behavior. Then we go further, asking whether modern technology has crossed from tool to temptation—outsourcing truth, judgment, and conscience itself. No hype. No corporate filters. Just a hard audit of a system learning us, using us, and normalizing harm in real time today. GUEST: Dr. Katherine Albrecht is an internationally recognized privacy expert, bestselling author, and early critic of the digital surveillance state. With a doctorate from Harvard University, she has testified before the U.S. Congress and the European Commission and helped expose RFID tracking and corporate data harvesting years before they went mainstream. She is the co-founder of StartMail, a privacy-first encrypted email service, and the author of Spychips. Known for being early—and right—Albrecht now warns that A.I. poses not just technical risks, but profound moral and spiritual ones.

On the latest episode of Steady Droppin Dimes (recorded 1/16/26), Sam Webb, Tyrone Wheatley, and Daniel Horton focused on the transfer portal's impact on college sports, particularly Michigan football and basketball. Wheatley and Webb highlighted the challenges coaches face, including retaining players and managing the portal window. They debated possible fixes, including moving the portal window down or keeping it where it is to force coaches to adapt. The possibility of moving the college football season up two weeks was another remedy discussed. The conversation then shifted to Michigan basketball's recent loss to Wisconsin, emphasizing the need for improved perimeter defense and competitive spirit. From there, the discussion moved to a media controversy over a positive postgame message from Jacksonville Free Press reporter Lynn Jones to Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen, with debate over the media's role in sports. The crew explored the nuances of sports media criticism, emphasizing the place for constructive criticism without personal attacks. Webb highlighted his approach to offering respectful, fact-based criticism, which enables open dialogue with athletes and coaches when they disagree it. Wheatley stressed the need for athletes to view criticism from different perspectives and to focus on their performance rather than media scrutiny. The conversation concluded by discussing the evolving role of media in sports and how the gatekeeping effort that mainstream media should prioritize is protecting the high standard for truth and accuracy in reporting.

Hey Friends Just thought I'd post my conversation from Friday night on SIRIUSXM. Dean will be my guest on Tuesday's show Born in the Great State of New Jersey, Dean Obeidallah's comedy comes in large part from his unique background of being the son of a Palestinian father and a Sicilian mother.

What if consulting contracts rewarded results instead of hours worked? Tim Beattie, CEO of Stella and former Red Hat executive, is pioneering exactly that approach.  In this conversation, Beattie breaks down the emerging consulting model that's replacing traditional project-based work. Subscription engagements provide clients ongoing access to expertise while creating predictable revenue streams. Asynchronous coaching through recorded videos scales impact beyond billable hours. AI tools amplify consultant knowledge without replacing human connection.

He reveals recurring "identifiers" that expose staged incidents, the modern "strategy of tension" fueling confusion and division, and how elites weaponize mass trauma—like the Las Vegas shooting—to instill widespread fear, exhaustion, and control. GUEST: Ole Dammegård is a Danish truth seeker, code breaker, and peacemaker, awarded the Prague Peace Prize and adopted by the Apache Nation (receiving the Native name Wiyakpayela Wunzi, meaning "Bright One"). An author, international speaker, former journalist, musician (with two solo albums), composer, artist, inventor, and investigator, he has dedicated over 45 years to researching global conspiracies. Regarded as a leading expert on false flag operations, Ole has conducted 500–1,200 international interviews, accurately predicted dozens of alleged terror events months in advance, and reportedly prevented several planned massacres. His investigations focus on political assassinations (JFK, RFK, MLK, Olof Palme, John Lennon, Princess Diana) and events like 9/11 and Oklahoma City.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1244: Today we're talking about Tesla's FSD flip to subscription-only, the continued softening of auto credit conditions, and a loyalty report that says your customers are expecting way more. Show Notes with links: The Dealertrack Credit Availability Index closed out December at 99.6—its highest reading of 2025 and the strongest level since October 2022. It marks a continued return to pre-pandemic credit conditions, capping off a yearlong trend of easing lending standards.Approval rates rose to 73.7%, up 90 basis points from November and 80 bps from December 2024.Average contract rates dropped from 10.5% to 10.3%, while yield spreads also narrowed—making pricing more attractive for buyers.Subprime lending edged down from 14.3% to 14.1% month-over-month, though still up from 11.8% a year ago.Loans over 72 months grew in share, as consumers stretch payments to keep monthly costs manageable.Captive lenders led the loosening, but banks, credit unions, and finance companies all showed increased flexibility.Starting February 14, Tesla will stop offering its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system as a one-time purchase, moving exclusively to a monthly subscription model, according to CEO Elon Musk.FSD, which still requires active driver supervision, currently costs $8,000 or $99/month.Tesla hasn't said how many users pay for FSD, but Musk once admitted he was "kind of glad" not many bought the lifetime option.The shift may be tied to Musk's compensation package, which includes hitting 10 million active FSD subscriptions.California regulators are still considering suspending Tesla's sales license for 30 days over alleged misleading marketing of FSD capabilities.Tesla has not disclosed how many of its customers have bought or are paying monthly subscriptions for FSD.In its 28th annual Customer Loyalty Engagement Index, Brand Keys found that consumer expectations jumped a record-breaking 32% year-over-year — a shift that's shaking up brand rankings across industries and putting serious pressure on retailers to evolve.Hyundai once again ranked highest among automotive brands for meeting modern consumer expectations — its 17th year holding that title.Nearly 40% of product and service categories saw new leaders emerge, signaling a wave of disruption driven by more demanding buyers.Loyalty continues to deliver ROI: a 5% improvement can boost lifetime customer profits by up to 88%, while a 2% lift can cut marketing costs by nearly 30%.Amazon, Whole Foods, Shell, Ben & Jerry's, and Dollar General were also among the top performers in their categories.“The bottom line: loyalty moves markets.” – Robert Passikoff, President of Brand KeysJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Mathew Kerbis discuss:AI's impact on billable workRecognizing the limits of hourly and flat feesUsing subscriptions to create stability and scalePositioning lawyers for long-term resilience Key Takeaways:AI is set to automate most billable legal tasks, collapsing the hours firms rely on for revenue. Continuing to bill time while effort shrinks creates ethical and financial strain. The profession must rethink pricing before the model breaks entirely.Hourly billing punishes efficiency and leaves clients unable to budget. Flat fees help, but often trigger resistance when AI makes work appear “too easy.” Both models strain under faster, AI-driven workflows.Subscription pricing offers predictable costs for clients and recurring value for firms. Changing needs are handled through tier shifts instead of constant renegotiation. This approach opens access to the vast unmet legal market.Solo and small firms can thrive by pairing subscriptions with purpose-built AI tools. Clear value mapping enables strong good-better-best service tiers. Sustainable growth requires leverage, focus, and letting go of doing everything alone. "The flat fee or fixed fee model… hasn't supplanted the billable hour… because of exactly this problem I call the under‑scoping and over‑scoping problem. You don't know if you're going to overscope or underscope the work when it's on a fixed‑fee model." —  Mathew Kerbis Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

On this episode of Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, Richard is joined by author and researcher Daniel Bourke to explore the unsettling phenomenon known as déjà rêvé - “already dreamed.” Bourke shares chilling firsthand accounts of dreams that arrive years in advance, revealing faces, voices, lovers, and warnings before they manifest in waking life. Are these coincidences, memory tricks—or glimpses of a future that sometimes introduces itself while we sleep? GUEST: Daniel Bourke is an author and researcher specializing in precognitive dreams, fate, and anomalous human experiences. His books Déjà Rêvé and Love at Second Sight investigate firsthand accounts of people who encounter future lovers, strangers, and life-altering events in dreams—sometimes years before they occur. Drawing on folklore, religious tradition, and meticulously documented modern cases, Bourke explores a reality where consciousness may extend beyond time, and where dreams are not symbolism—but previews.

On this week's edition of The Michigan Recruiting Insider, Sam Webb, Steve Lorenz, and Brice Marich discussed the latest developments for the Wolverines in the transfer portal. The Michigan recruiting insider discussed the impact of the transfer portal on Michigan's roster. Key points included the retention of major players such as Andrew Marsh and Jordan Young, and the acquisition of top talent such as Jamie Ffrench and Smith Snowden. However, the panel highlighted the challenges of attracting top talent from the portal at linebacker and defensive tackle. To address these gaps, the program has focused on developing young players, including Alister Vallejo, Deyvid Palepale, Jamarion Vincent, Shamari Earls, and Travis Moten. The discussion also covered strategic decisions for the portal, including the loss of Justice Haynes to Georgia Tech and the acquisition of Taylor Tatum. Additionally, Lorenz noted the challenges of Michigan's admissions process, which often deters transfers. The conversation concluded with a promotion of the Michigan Insider's transfer portal special, offering a 50% discount on annual subscriptions.

Health care strategist Dana Y. Lujan discusses her article "Is direct primary care sustainable in a downturn?" Dana explains how the rising cost of living and subscription fatigue are challenging the retail model of direct primary care for middle-class families. She contrasts this fragility with the stability of employer-sponsored models where organizations absorb the cost to ensure consistent access for their workforce. The conversation highlights the critical need to align medical business models with the actual economic capabilities of the communities they serve rather than relying solely on ideological goals. Join us to explore how financial strategy determines the longevity of patient care.

Prior to joining the DC U.S. Attorney's Office, Glenn served more than six years on active duty as an Army Judge Advocate General (JAG) prosecutor, trying court-martial cases and handling criminal appeals, including espionage and death penalty cases. Glenn tried hundreds of cases in his 30 years as a prosecutor, including more than 50 murder trials, multiple lengthy RICO trials and precedent-setting cases. Glenn's YouTube Channel Glenn's Podcast shawnforgeorgia.com : I grew up on a Georgia farm, and I enlisted in the Marines to serve my country. My wife Karla and I have been married for 35 years. She became a family doctor while I served, and we raised 5 kids and have 4 grandkids. After spending 40 years in the military, including serving as a combat infantry commander in Afghanistan, I retired from the military as an Army General, and Karla and I came right back here to Georgia to live on the farm. We are feeling very blessed. But talking with folks around here, a lot of people are not feeling so blessed. Veterans are struggling. The rising cost of living keeps everyone working extra hard to make ends meet. And everyday people just don't feel like anyone's listening to them.  The way I see it, Georgians work hard. But our hard work would go a lot farther if we had someone in Congress working to raise Georgians' pay and lower costs, so everybody can have the tools and opportunities to build a good life. We should be building things here again, exporting American products instead of American jobs, and growing our economy with more quality, good-paying jobs close to home here in North Georgia. For years, we've watched Marjorie Taylor Greene on TV, prioritizing national drama over the people of Northwest Georgia. The conversation has changed since Marjorie has quit, giving us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally bring real leadership back to this district. This is a different race than the one we fought in 2024. I still see how hungry our neighbors are for a representative who actually works for them. We built a historic coalition that proved we are ready for change. Now, with an open seat, we are no longer just fighting against someone; we are fighting for our future.

Maria Cuccia, author of His Name Is Elijah, shares a deeply personal story that begins with faith, family, and motherhood—and then crosses into territory most people refuse to contemplate. This is not a UFO case file or a detached investigation. It's a lived experience shaped by Catholic mysticism, generational trauma, altered states of consciousness, and an alleged non-human encounter centered on an impossible bond: a mother and a child who does not exist in ordinary reality. We're not here to debunk or diagnose—only to ask whether our categories are too small. GUEST: Maria Cuccia is the author of His Name Is Elijah, a memoir exploring faith, consciousness, and an extraordinary encounter that reshaped her understanding of motherhood and reality itself. Writing with vulnerability and conviction, Cuccia examines the collision between mystical experience, psychiatry, and belief, offering a rare inside account of what happens when meaning itself is put on trial. Her work sits at the uneasy intersection of spirituality, trauma, and alleged non-human contact. BOOK: His Name is Elijah WEBSITE: https://mariacuccia.com SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
