    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 26, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick welcomes listeners into a whirlwind conversation about artificial intelligence, sparking reactions to Elon Musk’s bold predictions and candidly questioning the consequences for human purpose, work, and relationships. Unexpected calls reference pop culture, raise concerns about machines rewriting history, and wonder aloud what happens if robots take over everyday chores. As the dialogue accelerates, Patrick probes whether people will embrace robots or fiercely protect the messy beauty of real life.   Audio: Elon at Davos, Within a year AI will be smarter than any human being - https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/2014424307900850512?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (00:19) Audio: Elon, “In the future, the robots will make so many robots, that they will actually saturate all human needs -  https://x.com/cb_doge/status/2014400490424173041?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (05:19) Audio: Elon, "You don’t actually need school to learn anymore – https://x.com/ianmiles/status/2014322727205679426?s=20 (11:28) Reba - What is to stop AI taking over all of humanity? (13:54) Stacy - I think we need community with each other, and I think robots taking care of our elderly will only make loneliness worse (21:58) John - My wife has a severe gluten allergy and can’t receive low gluten host. She can receive the precious blood but our priest doesn’t want to resume giving it. What can I do? (25:17) John - My concern is that AI is only as good as the input. I think the vast majority of people working on AI will make it liberal based, and it will be socially to the left. I’m also concerned it will be godless. (28:58) Jackie - I think we need to interact with humans and not robots. (34:19) Miles - Who will pay for individuals being able to access AI and how will we deal with things like credit scores? (42:49) Lourdes - I caught a student cheating using AI and she got everything right. I gave her a failing grade for cheating. However, after that I let students do it because they had to read. I followed this person's career and she still did well in life. (44:11) Esmeralda - Did you ever see the series Apocalypse? I see that this is happening. (47:37) Courtney - I want a Robot. If we are going to have a robot in our house, she needs to agree with us. She will help us have more family time. (49:26) (Originally aired 1/28/26)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 26, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick brings the smartphone struggle front and center, questioning why tech and social media seem to influence children more than their own families. Parents call in with raw confessions, regrets, and inventive solutions, from holding out on smartphones to battling the sneaky ways kids get around controls, while stories of bikes, banana seats, and even Maseratis bring humor and a touch of nostalgia to the mix. Rules, boundaries, and values collide with modern tech, leaving listeners weighing connection, safety, and family sanity in a world where a phone can change everything.   Audio: Once kids get smart phones, family life turns into a fight over screen time . . . - https://x.com/drantbradley/status/2012876836502405511 (00:23) Audio: just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean your kids should do it too - https://x.com/modernxdad/status/2015262851414544684 (02:21) Todd - Smart phone: I challenge you to switch to a flip phone and have kids watch Gun Smoke (09:14) Liz - We are a family of smart phone holdouts, and we gave our kids flip phones and my kids don't care. (10:25) Melissa - A counselor told me that I should get my kid a phone so she could feel more part of other kids' social circles. That was the beginning of the end. (19:36) Jorge - From where I come from, we didn't have TVs. I think I can enjoy the benefit of learning without it. I compare the TVs of yesterday to the phone today. (23:29) Jessica - Smart phones: Somethings that helped me prolong the eventuality of kids getting a phone was a straight A report card. (29:09) Gloria - Smart phone: I set parameters for my kids. My children wanted them at a young age. I did a lot of research before getting them phones. We used a lot of the parental controls available. I think it is working out. (34:14) Marie - I have a teenager and a preteen. I totally agree with Patrick. My 10-year-old hacked my iPad and removed restrictions. (40:27) Andrew - I am a parent of 6 kids. I struggle with how smart phones can lead to the sin of envy. (44:31) John - My college age son argues that killing in video games is moral and I argue it is not. Can you help me? (49:02) (Originally aired 1/29/26)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 25, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick addresses how truthfulness and conviction work in practice, linking the courage of early Christians during persecution (01:30) to messy ethical calls at work and home. He relates stories of fractured families, prayer in loneliness, and staunch, sometimes painful, persistence in faith (11:27), all while mixing practical spiritual advice with thoughtful takes on symbols like the crucifix and the meaning of sacramental life (20:08). Throughout, Patrick urges listeners to remain grounded, genuinely compassionate, and unafraid to tackle hard questions about loyalty, honesty, and belief.   Lucy - It does not work to go quiet on a rude/mean son or daughter in law. I had similar situation to your previous caller with my daughters. (10:18) Sally (email) – I have a hard time talking to people. I know God is with me, but I don’t know how to talk to Him. (18:54) Roger – Regarding the Blessed Mother crowned with 12 stars, I thought they represented the 12 tribes of Israel, but is it actually the 12 apostles? (25:50) Janet (email) – What if there is a magnetic field around the Data Centers (28:27) Barbara - I tried to invite my grandkids for a birthday party. I have not seen the kids in a year. The mother said no, and other negative things. All I can do is surrender to God. (33:07) Bob - I have a member of my family marrying a Lutheran girl and they are getting married by a priest. If they are living together already, do I go to the wedding? (40:29) Rogelio (email) – Why is Jesus still on the cross? (45:29)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 24, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick answers listener questions about faith, Catholic customs, and handling daily struggles, shifting from the unease of handshakes at Mass to clever substitutes for swearing and discussing the supernatural virtue of belief with a young caller. Misinformation, AI fakery, and Church history all whirl together as Patrick responds with both warmth and sharp advice, threading humor into stories about family, language, and personal growth in faith.    Les (email) - Should I continue doing something if my conscience keeps bothering me? (00:42) Mia (10-years-old) - How do you know that you believe in God if you don't know what it feels like? There aren't physical signs or a fuzzy feeling to prove faith (05:51) Florence (email) – What words do you say instead of cussing? (20:28) Julianne (email) - AI generated videos on social media should be illegal (27:28) Denise (email) - I wanted to say a prayer for my grandmother’s funeral Friday, but I wanted to know if you had any suggestions on prayers as I'm not very knowledgeable on the bible. (29:39) Craig - As a replacement word, in Philippians, St. Paul says, 'scubala' or 'dung' (30:52) Email – Can my dreams be sinful? (37:13) Jess - I have an Armenian Orthodox friend discussing Roman Rite celebrating Christmas on different days. He said Catholics made it that day due to pagan holidays. (40:49) Dan - There was a baseball broadcaster who would laugh at a surprise and say 'how about that, folks' (50:10)
