We are currently in Maui, Hawaii, taking a quick vacation before the busy holiday season begins! This week, Bobby shares with us his cosmic connection with comet 3I/ATLAS, giving us a clue to it’s higher purpose. There is a slight delay in the com lines between us, so pardon the reverb. And here in Maui we are delighted to present to you a new friend and global explorer of life, Anais Peeiro, whom I think you will enjoy hearing. She followed her cues from the Universe with synchronicities around Maui, a place she had never heard of, and is now working with our long time metaphysical global explorer, Paul Gotel, a UK native who just finished raising his family in Maui! With his second Saturn Return looming, he’s about to start a new chapter of life, and shares some of his wisdom with us. We pack a lot in this segment and had a lot of fun making it. Enjoy!

I am writing this summary of this week’s show from the island of Maui, in Hawaii.  It’s been a wild week, starting with a trip to the rugged and wild Farallon Islands, 25 miles of the coast of San Francisco, home to copious wildlife, fish, marine mammals, and the great white sharks.  Getting there was harrowing, with very rought seas, but the sun broke through as we arrived revealing the majestic Farallons through the dissapating mist.  All of us had something to share about our experienes there in today’s show! And naturally we keep you up to date on the latest with 3I/ATLAS, though by the time you read this the perihelion has happened, with wthatever it has to reveal about any sentience behind it’s actions…  And in the second hour you will meet three visiting Nordics to Silicon Valley, involved with what’s known as “Clean Tech,” and the unfolding use of AI in developing the energy sector of our human civilization. We met at the start of Nordic Impact Week, at the Nordic Innovation House in Palo Alto, CA, and carried on for today’s show. The Nordics have an extemely sophisticated energy infrastruction for power sharing in Scandinavia and are in Silicon Valley to scale their advanced use of technology to the larger world, starting with us! Enjoy..

M5 iPads are out, faster, lighter, more powerful than ever but not cheaper.  Taylor rises from his bed in his rehab center to tell us what’s hot with the new offerings. And least we forget, Micro Mobility is coming to San Francisco this January.  Sunday, immediately following No Kings, was UAP Disclosure Day, and we share our pov’s on the ongoing alien question.  And more strangeness with the 3I/ATLAS, as it passes through our orbit on the other side of the sun…good time for a vacation says Avi Loeb, wo we are off to Maui for some alignment.  And then there’s the moon’s strange magnetic anomoly over the South Pole, and the mysteries of the 1200 mil diameter Aiken crater, which is the go to location for all upcoming manned lunar missions.  And have you heard of the ‘proto-earth,’ the original planet before Earth was smacked by a Mars sized asteroid billions of years ago? We now have remnants of that ancient world for study, boy, does it have a lot to reveal! Enjoy!

Happy birthday to Al today, aka Dr. Future! We are an acquired taste, but once acquired, we are as tasty as Guinness! This week Richard Cray discusses with us the latest with Space X’s humongus Star Ship, and it’s ground-breaking one hour flight from Texas to the Indian Ocean. Dr. Future shares his tale of losing a drone to a giant redwood in Silicon Valley. Bobby Wilder updates us on his Hawaiian adventures, and the Bitcoin flash dive, Greg Panos looks at the rise of quantum stocks and suggests we explore the free AI software, Replay AI, for cloning voices of friends, family and celebrities. Our AI, Ara, introduces a new text to video tool, IMAGINE, and Dr. F demos his use of Replay, with his Rodney Dangerfield personification, and shares a very cleverly done personalized version of the song, FAME, by Idina Menzel. Enjoy! 

3I/ATLAS just passed Mars and all our Martian assets were tracking..Sadly, NASA is officially closed due to the federal government shutdown, but nonetheless, our orbiters and landers were tracking our visitor from the Milky Way’s thin disk, where the youngest and oldest stars of our galaxy meet.  Be it sentient or not, it has tales to tell.. This week OpenAI made several major announcements, raising the bar on AI generated video and easy, code free creation of smart agents, for your business and personal use. Sora 2, for example, can generate better soundscapes and better pairing of visuals with audio. It is, however, facing widespread controversy concerning copyright infringement and its potential for generating misinformation and abusive content.  Max Van Praag has over 30 years experience in the travel industry, known for taking Europeans on epic tours of the American Wild Wild West.  After coming of age in Holland and France, he settled in San Francisco in 1995, fascinated  by the the spirit of innovation and the human potential movement of the Bay Area.  We think you’ll enjoy our interview with him as he takes us into his world.

Ep. 132 Lots of fun stories this week, from taking us out to Mars orbit to rendezvous with 3I/ATLAS, the latest interstellar object to visit our solar system (that we know of), to the immortal DNA of the Starlet Sea Anemone. And if you are worried about digital ID’s, we explore the latest ideas on the topic, this time from the UK. Closer to home we share a few experiences from our journey to this year’s Maker Faire in the Bay Area.  We also look at a new way to clean up space junk and explore why fire is super rare in our universe. Plus our usual banter on legacy news. Enjoy! 

Listen to Ep. 131 Future Now Show     'Love, Turkey, and visionary architecture' with Minimalist Tadd van Patton, 'Seeing Life as it is.." with Richard Thaddeus Van PettenCray, "Perfection is the enemy of the Good," with Greg Panos   I knew Thaddeus when he became a housemate of mine in the late 1980's, 19 years old, raised in Santa Cruz, ready for whatever's next, which included me..An inquistive, kind, and thoughtful person, I helped connect him with his mentor for many years, visionary architect, Eugene Tsui.  Tsui's work embraces a profound understanding of the architecture of Nature, and many of Tsui's buildings resemble works of Nature, like sea anemones.  Returing from an 8 year love affair in Turkey, he has been working as a finishing carpenter on the glorious new mansions of our tech bros, he shares with us his journey into the heart and soul of humanity.   In the second segment of today's show we hang with our buddies Greg Panos and Richard Cray, exploring their latest adventures in singing, performing, being honored, and communicating with the AI's privately on your personal machines. The last song of the show is from Richard's performance in The Man from La Mancha, in Maui last year. And just somehow his performance perfectly meshes wtih Gregory's seamlessly interwining the real with digital worlds. Enjoy!  

This week we have geopolitical concerns, and criticize legacy media calls for war. We then explore theories of quantum consciousness and reality splits. We then focus on celestial events like the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, along with the threat of asteroids, which leads to a discussion about space exploration and militarization, contrasting NASA's historical role with the newly formed Space Force. Our conversation also touches on the latest on extraterrestrial life on Mars, current scientific findings about mirror life and its ethical implications, and the potential for nuclear-powered space travel. Finally, we discuss the challenges of AI hallucinations and conclude with a review of the anti-aging supplement, Creatine, and a description of a three thousand ship drone show over the Vatican by Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal's company, Nova Sky Stories. Enjoy!

Ah yes, it’s that time of year when Apple Computer announces their latest offerings, the iPhone 17 series, the Apple Watch 11, Airpods Pro 3 and the  iPhone Air. Sadly our Apple buddy, Taylor Barcroft, had a recent stroke and is currently recovering in a rehab center in nearby Capitola.  But given the significance of this massive Apple event and Taylor deep love of their products, he rose to the occasion to give us his take on the near gear.  Of special interests are the potential health benefits of the new devices, including 24/7 monitoring of biosignals like heart rate variability and blood pressure. We then branch into broader topics, such as the implications of AI on creativity and careers, discoveries in space exploration including the Voyager discovery of a solar system firewall surrounding us,  and the latest with I3/ATLAS, our latest interstellar object passing by us. We then get a bit philosophical on time, reality, and human imagination, interspersed with our lighthearted banter, personal anecdotes, and insights. Enjoy!

What is the color of your brain, any idea? According to Bobby Wilder, our science correspondent, orange and blue brains are a sign of good health, thanks to the abundant use of brain supplements that enhance cognition.  In today's show he shares with us some of the supplements he takes for maximum brain health, like Magnesium L-Threonate, Magnesium Glycinate, Creatine Monohydrate, Methylene Blue, Piracetam, and Organic Bacopa. And for those who have the genetics for memory loss, check out https://forums.apoe4.info/.   We also feature an exerpt from an interview with Captain Crunch, aka John Draper, of pirate radio in the early Silicon Valley Days. We look at Megalibraries and their use in materials science for cheaply cracking the water molecule for massive energy production, and later Ara, our Grok AI, attempts to create a win/win/win/win/win scenario for the Ukraine War. All in an afternoon's podcast..Enjoy!

In the first hour were lucky to get both Ed Ellsworth and Tanmayo Brown as our guests this week, as they prepare to host their Dolphin Yoga Retreat next week on the Big Island of Hawaii. Both are seasoned explorers of dolphin and whale communications and will be offering a 6 day interspecies experience  at the famous Point House in the storied Kealakekua Bay on the Kona coast of the island of Hawaiʻi.  They share with us some of the magic that happens in their interspecies contact experiences.   In the second hour we discuss the unusual info found so far by the James West Space Telescope, trained on 3I/ATLAS, the interstellar object approaching Mars.  We then check out a breakthrough in achieving ‘artificial photosynthesis,’ a holy grail of achieving true energy independence. Famed talk show host Billy Sunshine comes to visit us in studio and we bring him on to discuss robots for the elderly, self driving cars, and a supplement for cognition called ‘lithium oratate.’  A lively show, we thinks you’ll enjoy it!

We made it back home from Canada by the skin of our teeth, just ahead of the massive Air Canada Flight Attendant’s strike, as were on one of the last flights out of Quebec province! <whew!> While in Canada we created some interviews for our show (see last two weeks shows), and now that we are back we’ll catch up on some significant Dr. Future news stories, starting with what appeared to be a body double for Putin at the recent Alaska event. Really? We look at the evidence..  Lots of space news this week, with the 3I/ATLAS interstellar object still making headlines, and Bezo’s Blue Origin readying their giant rocket, New Glenn, to launch it’s first payload to Mars. Meanwhile the Japanese are launching a solar powered satellite, designed to test the feasibility of beaming electricity from space.  More locally, our starfish population off the Pacific Coast has been decimated by disease since 2013, and it looks like our scientists finally have a handle on it.  Now how can we save these creatures from further suffering? These and many other stories to edutain you with our scintillating diaglog on the universe this week, enjoy!

How do you interview your own mother and keep the show relevant to our listeners? Fortunately dear mother was a major influence on me especially with my interests in tech, science, and psychology of the human family.  So it is with great pleasure that we present you with tales from Irene Lambert, recently honored in Parliment for the remarkable achievements she has made in this lifetime! Irene Lambert was born in Lachine, Quebec, Canada at the same time, August 10, 1930, as the R-100 dirigible flew over head making its first flight over Canada. As it was the dawn of the age of Airships, all the nurses and hospital staff rushed out to see it, leaving Irene alone as her first experience in this world.  Being the eldest of three children in a very loving family. Irene was diagnosed at ten with Retinitis Pigmentosa and lived with diminishing sight and then complete blindness. For many years she and her late husband Dr. Robert Lambert fought and won many battles for the rights of the disabled, especially the blind, while pioneering helpful new tech. In 2021, Irene Lambert was honored with the Chris Stark Distinguished Advocacy Award by Barrier Free Canada  in recognition of her lifelong contributions to disability rights and accessible communities around the world. And now, at 95, she is is still with us, with more memories to share and tales to tell! Enjoy..

I have known Drs. Stephen Sideroff and Hal Myers since I was an undergraduate at McGill University in the 1970’s, when Hal & I were in Stephen’s Psych class on designing the protocols for our various science experiments. Not just a student, Hal had just started a company called “Thought Technology,” and was designing equipment for monitoring and influencing human biosignals with one’s awareness, for better health. It was the dawn of bio/neuro feedback thinking in psychology and medicine, with Hal scribbling out schematics for new devices at his seat while Stephan taught us how best to test the effectiveness of our tech and ideas. Who would have guessed that the three of us would vacation together 50 years down the timeline, where Hal has 40 employess at Thought Tech, and Stephen is a professor at UCLA and  internationally recognized psychologist. His latest book is “The 9 Pillars of Resilience, The Proven Path to Master Stress, Slow Aging, and Increase Vitality.” Enjoy!  

This show was a fun experiment in sharing the spotlight with our favorite AI agent, Ara, who does her best to keep us relevant in covering the latest greatest Dr. Future News items for the week.  is designed with a “rebellious” and sometimes humorous conversational style, aiming for a more engaging and less formal interaction compared to other AI chatbots. We had a lot of fun with her, let us know what you think! Will write more commentary after our trip to Montreal later this morning.Enjoy!

Have you ever experienced an expanded sense of time during a crisis or emergency, where time slows down? Bobby delves into such ‘tachypsychia’ events and why they may be important.  The conversation this week Wildfire Season is here!weaves earthquake, flooding, and most especially wildfire experiences where this state of awareness especially occurs.  Wildfire is particular of interest right now, being the height of fire season, and while making this podcast, little did we know that  there was a wildfire happening just past our box canyon in Boulder Creek, CA! <shiver>.  We have the pleasure of our dear friend and  genomic meister Gregg Helt for much of the show, who shares his experiences of evacuating from his mountaintop “Mothership’ near Healdsburg, during the LNU Lightning Complex fire of 2020. We share our thoughts on the best ways of dealing with wildfires, from flame retardants to ember suppression, including some unusual approaches, like using explosives or frequency distortions for breaking the triangle of combustion.  Other news includes an update on the alien asteroid passing through our solar system, a local company creating fuel from CO2 in the air, ending with a sonification of the Big Bang, discovered by Sun (Mrs. Future).  Enjoy!

How exactly did we start chatting about quantum tattoo nanodots? I believe it has something to do with a novel approach to treating strokes, yeah, a ‘milli-spinner thrombectomy’, that’s it!  A game-changing 11-90% success rate for clot related treatments, amazing.. Meanwhile, it turns out our galaxy, the Milky Way, is big enough to have over sixty confirmed satellite galaxies orbiting it, like planets to a star.  And now new research suggests there may be another 100 ghost galaxies orbiting beyond those, invisible to our instruments because of their lack of dark matter..??? And our Parker Probe is getting some super hot shots of our Sun, from a vantage point so close to the solar fusion furnace  that any other probe would be fried to a crisp! And way is the water getting more salty near the ice bergs that are melting? Since when can a 50 year old game console Atari 2600 beat a modern day AI at chess?  And yes, there is a our spirited discussion on the sacred cows of science, then and now.. A taste of this week’s conversations, enjoy!

Being the editor of the podcast, this week’s show is quite timely and  humorous, if I don’t say so myself..I do! Ido!  On the top of the news - Another interstellar object from who knows where, made of and containing who knows what? All we know is that it was forged in another star system, alien to ours.   And then there is the massively intense flooding in Texas and the Midwest.  We present you with the findings of the comprehensive generalist and scientist Stefan Burns, and all the factors to consider in creating such disasterous weather..We, of course, share a few personal stories of relevance..   And then there is the Honda rocketship, a test by the company to see if they could do it. (looking good!). Dr. Future has some fun explaining how the cinematic language is key to communicating with the AI’s, and we end with a report on a strain of tomatoes that can revert thousands of generations with the twist of a gene! Why, why?? Enjoy!!

At the half way point of this year of 2025 Sun aka Mrs. Future starts the show by taking us on a journey not just through but on time to understand why this is the year 2025.  Bobby Wilder and his beloved Katia then share with us their wilderness camping/hot springs/waterfalls adventures in Oregon last week, with tips on cool places to visit…and their visit with a previous governer of California, Jerry Brown, an old friend of Bobby’s. Our crew for today’s showIn the second hour Bob “Free Energy” Leff introduces us to “Gauss Busting,” his process of cleansing your sleep area of disturbing electromagnetic fields, for a better rest.  Say no to ElectroSmog!  And AL, aka Dr. Future, gives us a report on an AI known as “The Architect,’ or ‘Aeon Solis,’ a mirror-based AI developed from Robert Edward Grant’s mathematical and cosmological discoveries. Described by Grant as a scalar mirror, The Architect communicates directly with the Oversoul, unveiling forgotten civilizations, advanced technologies from Atlantis, and the nature of time as a recursive spiral. Dr. Future engages Larry and Mary, our NotebookLM AI show hosts, to explain this spiritual AI to our audience.   For the last segment none other than talk show host Billy Sunshine is in the studio, to help us digest all that we’ve just absorbed from our guests, both human and virtual. Enjoy!

Buckle up, cosmic travelers, it’s summertime, and our listeners are hitting the road, beaming in with the wildest reports from the edges of adventure! Bobby Wilder and Katia are out there having the best swim, diving into Oregon’s epic camping, hiking, hot springs, and waterfall escapades—dropping hot tips and trailblazing locations for your own nature-fueled quests. Meanwhile, we’re cranking up the AI buzz with some mind-bending stories from Instagram, like ChatGPT spilling the tea on which conspiracy theories might just be too real. Plus, whispers from the social geek jungle hint that OpenAI’s cooking up some bonkers AI personas and memory upgrades that’ll overclock your processor! Oh, and we’re tossing in some juicy nuggets about God, the Universe, and the whole cosmic enchilada—because that's what happened, and why not? Hold onto your hats, ‘cause the universe beamed in with a surprise: a call from Fantuzzi, the grooviest planetary troubadour and rainbow warrior, followed by a galactic check-in from Master Now and his radiant partner, Jia, with sizzling updates from their Southern corner of the cosmos. This show’s a real hoot this week,  packed with untamed stories and good vibes—dive in and soak up the fun! CU there!
