    Brain Power For AI: Not Sci-fi

    Send us Fan Mail We take a moment to say good bye to Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. Who both passed on August 25th 2026 and had reached the age of 80.  They touched many people in their own way.  Back to the show, we discussed brain power and AI. It is real and fiction how our information are being progressed so quickly.  Should we believe everything and how it is handed to us. Maybe we should look at who is in control of the information and maybe how they are using it for their benefit and our control.  Maybe it isn't as cut and dry as you have been lead. We read some articles and talk about where they lead. Give us a chance to prove to you we are the worst podcast in the unknown universe. Here is the list of articles from this episode and where they are found: https://en.wikipedia.org  / List of artificial intelligence films / Wetware computer https://www.frontiersin.org    /Powering up the next generation of biocomputers with brain organoids https://www.nist.gov   /Brain-Inspired Computing Can Help Us Create Faster, More Energy-Efficient Devices — If We Win the Race https://www.technologyreview.com  /Human brain cells hooked up to a chip can do speech recognition https://www.livescience.com   /World's first computer that combines human brain with silicon now available https://www.bbc.com  /Scientists grow mini human brains to power computers https://engineering.princeton.edu  /New 3D device harnesses living brain cells for computing Support the show  I hope you enjoy the show!  If you find value in our show, Pray for us!

    Spewing Nonsense About Nonsense: Indie Podcasters Beware

    Send us Fan Mail Sometimes it seems I get involved in something just to watch it morph or change and go away. I feel that same fear coming around when it comes to podcasting.   We take a look at what another (https://www.thepodcasthost.com) calls an Indie podcaster and how they are described. I can relate! Get ready for our rant about the changes coming to podcasting. Follow the money.    Yet we still cover our local weather and the 7 Day Earthquake report.

    Have You Ever Asked Your Doctor, "How Much Coffee?"

    Send us Fan Mail  Hello from Bruce and Sunny. Spain won the 2026 World Cup and Pete Hegseth estimated we have spent $37.5 billion on the Iran war to date. We just highlighted those things. "Most adults can safely drink up to five 8-ounce cups of black coffee per day", says a new study.   What about coffee and your doctor? Have you had a conversation with your doctor about caffeine? I did and I read an article I thought worth sharing. We also had our normal reports along with a good bit of ribbing each other to bring you another 45 minutes of the worse podcast in the unknown universe.  Support the show  I hope you enjoy the show!  If you find value in our show, Pray for us!

    See All Those Mirrors

    Send us Fan Mail “See all those mirrors?” starts as a goofy line, then turns into a genuinely unsettling idea: selling moon-bright light from orbit. We read a report that raises the possibility of a giant space mirror casting a moving patch of reflected sunlight onto Earth, and we can’t stop turning it over from every angle. If you care about the night sky, space technology, astronomy, or just the simple human experience of darkness, this one hits a nerve fast. We talk about why astronomers already struggle with satellite megaconstellations like Starlink, how bright streaks can ruin deep sky images, and what happens when the next step isn’t just “more satellites” but intentional light directed at the ground. Then we zoom out to the parts people forget: nocturnal animals, night-blooming plants, and ecosystems built around day-night rhythms. Even if a company promises it won’t start fires, the bigger question remains: who gets to flip the night on and off, and what are the unintended consequences for nature and for all of us? To keep it real, we also do what we always do: a quick weather report around the world, a short moment to breathe and reset, an earthquake report, and a final story about Texas becoming a lithium powerhouse. That lithium conversation turns into a blunt debate about battery demand, land use, and the “more, more, more” mindset that keeps showing up in modern life.

    Merlin The Duck

    Send us Fan Mail We bounce from everyday check-ins to big headlines, mixing weather, internet oddities, and practical safety stories with our usual skeptical curiosity.

    We Are Going To The Store

    Send us Fan Mail We lose a full recording, hit record again, and turn the do-over into a reminder to step away from the daily noise and look for something good. We share a strange floating store art piece in Toronto, track World Cup news and streaming crackdowns, and end with weather, earthquakes, space weather, and a NASA rescue plan that raises eyebrows.  • the second-time recording mishap and why we laugh through it  • a fully stocked floating convenience store sculpture in Toronto’s harbor and how it’s built to float  • World Cup knockout rounds and the emotions of sudden elimination  • a short “tone” moment to pause and think about something pleasant  • the DOJ seizure of nearly 400 illegal World Cup streaming sites and what feels odd about the story  • quick weather readings across the US and around the world including air quality and UV index  • seven-day earthquake rundown and a reminder to pray for affected places  • solar flare and CME talk with a possible July 4 aurora window  • NASA’s $30 million plan to boost a doomed space telescope back to a safer orbit  Support the show  I hope you enjoy the show!  If you find value in our show, Pray for us!
