I lean into the connection between Terrence Howard with his Lynchpin Drone technology and the alleged technology of supposed extraterrestrials flying around and living amongst us. I give a final opinion on Mr. Howard and then cover two recent developments that continue to bring UFO and UAP into the news: Tim Gallaudet and Karl Nell. Choosing to believe them over skeptics like Mick West, I entertain and give my perspective on their claims and findings. Plus, a WILD fight breaks out in an Orlando Waffle House.

After last week's explosive reception, both positive and negative, it is only natural that I do one more follow up on the Terrence Howard discussion. First I go through my own reaction to the unexpected exposure. Then I attempt to get to the bottom of the Lynchpin concept and explain it in the way I have come to understand after doing a more deep dive into Terrence's work and one of his patents. Also, Florida man of the week goes on a school bus ride.

I was deeply provoked with thought and intrigue when watching/listening to the latest Joe Rogan Experience with Terrance Howard. As someone who is well educated in the study of Physics and worked/researched in its sectors, I was both fascinated and perplexed by many of the wild "theories" of "Terryology." Is he a genius far ahead of his time, or the Kanye West of Science?

It's a wonderful time. I discover that I actually very much enjoy a Taylor Swift song for which she is getting social media backlash with silly racist accusations. Also, TikTok is on thin ice with the government given new legislation for a potential ban and I try to figure out how I feel about it.
