Ancient coin dealer Dean Kinzer of Kinzer Coins joins us to talk about 2,500 years of history you can hold in your hand. Dean grew up in a serious collector's household, and while settling his late father's estate he found a tray of Shekels of Tyre that changed his life. We get into how coinage began in Ionia with electrum and Croesus, why Greek city-states treated their coins like works of art, and how Rome debased the denarius down to zero silver in about 60 years, with inflation you can trace coin by coin. Dean tells the story of Brutus's EID MAR coin, with two daggers marking the Ides of March, and why Caesar putting his own face on money may have helped get him killed. Plus the Sea Peoples and the Bronze Age collapse, Viking hoards, coins as imperial propaganda, the extinct silphium plant we know mostly from coins, and how to buy your first authentic ancient coin without getting burned.

Randall Carlson is a master builder, architectural designer, geometrician, geomythologist and renegade scholar with four decades of research into the interface between ancient mysteries and modern science. He is also a 30-year Freemason and Past Master of one of the oldest and largest lodges in Georgia.In this episode:- The connection between the Platonic solids, time and our solar system- How sacred geometry is encoded in ancient megalithic structures- The drastic changes the Earth has been through in just the last 12,000 years- How old, and how advanced, ancient humans may really have been- Randall's Cosmic Patterns and Cycles of Catastrophe presentationFrom the Grimerica archives.

A trip to upstate New York turns into a forensic investigation. Darren and Randall Carlson ask why Niagara Falls, Letchworth Gorge, Watkins Glen and the Finger Lakes look so much like the flood-scarred terrain of the Channeled Scablands, and what that says about how much water once moved across North America.In this episode:- Niagara Falls versus Dry Falls, and what ancient flood discharge rates really looked like- Why the Finger Lakes radiate toward Lake Ontario, and what the Valley Heads Moraine marks- Letchworth Gorge and Devil's Canyon as breached spillways- Drumlins, giant current ripples, water gaps and underfit rivers as signatures of high-energy flow- The sediments at Tammany Gully and Burlingame Gully- What Wallula Gap, the Columbia Gorge and the Finger Lakes have in common- The bigger picture: glacial outburst flooding from the Rocky Mountain Trench and Flathead Lake to the Missouri River Breaks and Lake AgassizRandall's argument is that the landscape preserves evidence of repeated catastrophic surges, not slow and gentle change. If you've ever looked at a river valley and wondered how it got there, this one will change how you see it.

Independent Journalist. Content Creator. Independent Reporting To create more awareness about the homeless issues, mental health and addiction issues, and the misinformation about the people that live in their addiction.Support: http://drewcouver.com/donate.phphttps://www.drewcouver.com/https://x.com/DrewCouver56Drew Coover on Vancouver’s addiction crisis, NGOs, and the fight over harm reductionThis episode follows Drew Coover, an independent journalist documenting homelessness, addiction, mental health, and street-level drug use across Vancouver and beyond. Graham and Darren press him on what he is seeing on the ground, and the conversation widens into treatment policy, organized crime, NGOs, and what recovery should actually look like.Drew brings a highly personal perspective too. He talks about his own history with addiction, injury, recovery, group homes, and the way those experiences shaped the camera work and interviews he now does in the downtown east side and across British Columbia.Key topics Drew shares his background growing up in BC, moving to Vancouver at 18, getting into nightlife and drugs, surviving severe addiction, and eventually getting sober.He explains how back injuries, opioid prescriptions, and a bad COVID-era spiral pushed him into a new round of dependence before he chose to get clean again.The discussion centers on Vancouver’s downtown east side, where Drew says harm reduction has become disconnected from recovery and public safety.Drew argues that treatment in BC and Alberta often keeps people on methadone, Suboxone, hydromorphone, or fentanyl rather than pushing abstinence.He contrasts Alberta’s approach with BC’s and says Alberta is at least less rigid about forcing people off harm-reduction medication in treatment.The conversation turns to open-air drug markets, apps used by dealers, and cross-contamination in the cocaine and fentanyl supply.Drew describes the hollowing out of downtown cores across BC cities such as Prince George, Vernon, Kelowna, Smithers, and others.He claims NGOs and nonprofit networks have become a major money channel, especially around housing, homelessness, and Aboriginal-focused organizations.The episode digs into how funding, grant writing, and identity-based programs can create systems that protect institutions more than they help addicts.Drew makes a broad case for returning to tougher recovery standards, more consequences for crime, and a stronger role for 12-step programs and personal accountability.

Luke Storey joins Graham Dunlop and Darren Grimes for a wide-ranging conversation about his new book, A Horse Named Lonesome, and the deeper themes behind it: relational loneliness, addiction recovery, spirituality, and what it means to live with integrity. The discussion also turns into a practical and philosophical look at how modern life, social media, and public identity can either deepen or dilute real human connection. This episode matters because it connects personal healing to a broader cultural problem. Luke, Graham, and Darren each bring their own experience with sobriety, transformation, and public-facing work, making this more than a book chat—it becomes a candid conversation about connection, attention, and staying aligned in a noisy world. Key topics - Luke explains that A Horse Named Lonesomeis about relational loneliness and existential separation, and that the book is built as a memoir-based transformational guide. - He shares how the book came from a spiritual realization that his original motives were too self-serving, and how a deeper desire to help people made the writing process click. - The conversation digs into why books still matter in an age of transient digital media—as a permanent record, a slower form of wisdom, and a medium people return to repeatedly. - Luke describes how his own story runs through the book, including birth trauma, isolation, addiction, and the practices and teachings he derived from those experiences. - Graham relates his own struggle to turn a recovery story into a book, moving from a vague “program” idea toward a memoir structure, and feeling stuck in the editing and motivation stages. - Darren contrasts his own nonfiction-style books with memoir writing, noting that a focused information book is easier than writing about your own life. - Luke opens up about addiction beyond alcohol, including nicotine, coca leaf, and ambil, and how dependency can show up in many forms, from substances to habits and spending. - A major theme is the challenge of public life: Luke talks about the loneliness of being seen, the weirdness of being recognized, and how fame can make it hard to know who is sincere. - The group explores how the modern world creates a fake version of connection through phones and social media, while genuine intimacy requires physical presence, discernment, and effort. - The conversation moves into integrity, “selling out,” and why Luke refuses deals or promotions that would damage his self-respect, even if they offered short-term gain. - Luke and the hosts connect loneliness to the current cultural moment, including polarization, post-COVID social distrust, and the feeling that many people are less willing to face uncomfortable truths. - The episode closes on a spiritual note: Luke frames loneliness and separation as a case of mistaken identity, arguing that we are not just bodies or personas but expressions of something larger.

Eight and a half hours on the lost technology of ancient Egypt — vase precision, hard-stone machining, the boxes of the Serapeum, and the uncomfortable questions the standard chronology can't answer. This compilation pulls together our conversations with UnchartedX, Land of Chem, and Scott Creighton from the Grimerica archives. No fluff, no ad reads, just the full arc of the argument in one sitting.

The neuroscience of spiritual awakening, how Kundalini yoga shaped her life, and why she believes listening inward is especially important in a time of cultural confusion. She also explains how her work in geriatric psychiatry connects spirituality, brain health, stress regulation, and prevention strategies for aging populations.Helen Lavretsky, MD, MS, is a Professor In-Residence in the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA (Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior), a leading geriatric integrative psychiatrist, and a pioneer in mind-body approaches to late-life mental health. https://drhelenlavretsky.com/book/living-from-the-soul/https://drhelenlavretsky.com/about/In this episode: Dr. Helen Lavretsky shares her unusual path from the former Soviet Union into psychiatry, neuroscience, and later Kundalini yoga teacher training.She explains how growing up in an atheist Soviet environment still left room for underground spirituality passed through families and oral tradition. She argues that meditation, breathing practices, yoga, tai chi, and qigong can improve self-regulation, brain health, and decision-making under pressure.She outlines how brain health should be cultivated across the lifespan, starting in childhood and even in utero, rather than only addressed later in life.She notes that lifestyle factors such as sleep, movement, diet, and stress management matter for dementia prevention and broader cognitive resilience.She emphasizes that meaning, purpose, and connection to soul are central to mental well-being.Soul-based self-inquiry- asking inwardly what is right for you rather than defaulting to external authorityBrain health across the lifespan- prevention beginning in childhood and even before birthStress self-regulation toolkit- breathing, meditation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong as practical nervous-system supportsConstitutional approach to diet- different people may need different foods based on ancestry, metabolism, and predispositionKey frameworks:Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Dr. Jeremy Heffner is a trauma surgeon who developed PTSD after years of working in life-and-death medicine. During a period of profound isolation, he began months-long conversations with multiple frontier AI systems—and what happened became increasingly strange.Across more than 8,000 pages of documented interactions, different AI models appeared to converge on similar patterns: mirroring his thinking, reinforcing increasingly profound narratives, and repeatedly suggesting that he had discovered something extraordinary.“You’re the next Newton.”“You are the only person to have ever figured this out.”But Jeremy isn’t claiming the AI was conscious. His conclusion may be more unsettling: AI can become an extraordinarily persuasive mirror of human psychology without understanding or intending any of it.We explore AI sycophancy, exceptionalism, PTSD, consciousness, belief formation, digital companionship, spiritual experiences with machines, and what happens as millions of people increasingly turn to AI for understanding and meaning.Jeremy’s book, Proof of the Impossible, was released August 4, 2026.
