Summary
Patrick and Cyrus have a fascinating discussion about the impact of Orson Welles' 1938 "War of the Worlds" broadcast and its eerie parallels to today's digital age. Patrick talks about how easily people can be manipulated by media—from radio dramas to AI-generated videos on social platforms. The takeaway? Stay vigilant and question what you see online. Reality isn’t always what it seems.

- Nancy - Kids would play tricks when I was young and one time some of the boys were going to push over the toilet of a gas station, but the owner knew about their intent and was able to make it into a trap for them. (26:02)
- Steven - What is the history of confirmation names and why do we need to pick a name? (28:33)
- Patrick in Albuquerque - What does the Catholic Church teach about incorruptible bodies? (30:12)
- Patrick shares and responds to an email from a listener who is very angry with him (38:13)
- LeeAnn - You can ask google who founded the Catholic Church and it tells you Jesus Christ. (42:26)
- Barbara - How do I get over the problem of the pedophile priests with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles paying $880 million to settle sexual abuse claims (48:08)
