Danica Patrick entertains wild conspiracy theories as NASCAR legend questions if the moon is real
A bizarre and confusing video recently posted on her Instagram account featured moments from an episode of her 'Pretty Intense' podcast with Samuel Lee, MD, a man who promotes himself as 'The Spiritual Psychologist.'
In the clip, which has a thumbnail with the words 'The Lies We Have Been Told To To [sic] Control Us', the pair go off on a wild number of conspiracy theories and promote some off-base ideas. Patrick added a caption to the post, saying that Lee is 'someone who has been on the spiritual journey discovering new truths and exploring new and old ways of communicating with our higher self.'
At the beginning, Lee appears to try and draw a parallel between Christians receiving communion to the conspiracy theories surrounding the chemical compound Adrenochrome. Those theories, perpetuated by far-right QAnon supporters, suggest that there's a cabal of Satanists who rape and murder children to harvest the chemical from their blood for use as a recreational drug.
'They tried to form a religion out of Jesus and try to get people to pay. He was preaching the opposite thing,' Lee said in the clip.

'He wasn't trying to start a religion, his true message is that... you're literally going to a cathedral and you're drinking symbolic blood and you're eating a body. Who does that on planet Earth? Are you talking about Adrenochrome?'
While art of 'Satanists' in red hooded robes was shown in the background, Patrick replied, 'Talking about drinking blood, that's deep state satanic rituals.'
Other theories discussed on the show included if there were people living inside of the Earth (Lee believes there are), if 'the moon is real' (Lee believes it was 'implanted' in the sky), and Lee's connection to an AI program that 'knew him'.
Many of the comments under Patrick's post took issue with Lee's criticism of the communion ritual - with a number of Christians quoting verses from the Bible.
This is not the first time that the former driver and current Sky Sports F1 commentator has flirted with conspiracy theories or invited conspiracy theorists on her podcast.
Back in June of 2024, in an episode with 'spiritualist' Elizabeth April, Patrick discussed the existence of 'lizard people'. April suggested that pop icon Justin Bieber was a 'shapeshifter'.
Later that year, in October, Patrick attracted widespread criticism for bringing on conspiracy theorist and Holocaust denier David Icke.

Secret Travis Kelce message that sends Swifties into meltdown at Chiefs camp
Taylor Swift fans may have found yet another invisible string linking the pop star and boyfriend Travis Kelce as he continued training camp this week. The Kansas City Chiefs star finally addressed reporters on Wednesday for the first time since the team kicked off training camp ahead of their bid to return to the Super Bowl yet again. However, Swifties were quick to zone in on the fact that Kelce's press conference came on the 13th day of camp as he prepares to enter his 13th season in the league. They connected the dots, highlighting that his pop sensation girlfriend's favorite number is 13. 'Someone in Kansas City needs a raise!,' on social media user posted. 'You are telling me that Travis Kelce hasn't spoken to the media all Training Camp, but his first time just HAPPENS to fall on Day 13. The Swifties have fully infiltrated the Chiefs media team.' 'the chiefs media knows what they are doing,' another added alongside a GIF of the songstress giving a thumbs-up. 'I've been loving all the swiftie bait recently lmao,' a third chimed in. Kelce himself didn't address his famous girlfriend, instead choosing to put all his focus on football. 'I've been lucky to be here for my 13th year now,' Kelce said. 'I just absolutely love this organization. I love the team, I love the coaches. 'I know just about every defensive coach, as well as all the offensive coaches and vice versa with the players and the staff in the equipment room. I have fun coming into work every single day.' The Chiefs have a long standing relationship with Missouri Western University, where they hold training camp at the Division-II powerhouse in St. Joseph. Players stay in dorms and have the tradition of spending time closer together instead of the teams that have camp and release players home every evening, and Kelce described it as a sanctuary. 'I love it here,' Kelce said of training camp. 'It gets me away from everything else that's going on in this crazy world. You can really just focus in on your craft and focus in on being the best you can for the guys around you, man.' 'Football has always been the biggest driving force I've ever had. I love coming out here and focusing on this and getting better for another run at hopefully a Super Bowl.' The tight end did, however, appear to make a subtle nod to the 'Anti-Hero' hitmaker when he praised quarterback and close friend Patrick Mahomes. 'Being away this offseason and coming back into training camp [shows] how fast his mind is moving,' Kelce said. 'It seems like he's always a step ahead, and his arm is alive right now. It's fun to see him know the play, know where he's going before the snap happens. On top of that, just being a leader and being our biggest, fearless competitor.' 'Fearless', of course, being a hit single from Swift's 2008 studio album of the same name that helped catapult her to stardom.

Top DJ Serge Devant reveals stunning new track – a decade after releasing global club anthem
SERGE Devant can count many of the best DJs in the world as fans. Tastemakers such as Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Damian Lazarus and Seth Troxler who joins Nick Morgan on the remix of Serge's new track, 'Solace'. 3 A decade after 'Fearing Love' became a global club anthem, 'Solace' reunites Serge with vocalist Camille Safiya and the original cast from the first video, picking up the narrative thread in a stunning new chapter. Directed by Tobias Deml (Luc Besson's The Fifth Element, The Professional), the accompanying music video explores memory, distance, and the quiet power of reconnection, bringing emotional depth to the dancefloor in a way few artists attempt. You can watch it at the end of the playlist. To accompany the release, Russian born, NYC resident, Serge talks us through a playlist of personal classics. Records that inspired his earliest clubbing days in New York, influenced the energy of his DJ sets, and helped shape the minimalist, emotive sound he's now become famous for. These selections tell their own story, mapping the arc from underground beginnings to cinematic storytelling and label-building. 'Each of these records marked a moment in my journey,' Serge says. 'Whether it was a turning point in my taste, a track that shaped the energy of my sets, or something that simply stuck with me over the years. From early discoveries that pulled me into DJing to deeper cuts that shifted my direction, these tracks all left a mark in different ways. Looking back, they reflect many experiences, places, and dancefloors that helped shape my taste.' 'Solace' is out August 7th via This Moment, with a remix from Seth Troxler & Nick Morgan. One of the very first records I bought. I remember hearing it destroy dancefloors at Twilo, Tunnel, and Sound Factory in New York as I started partying, and I realized I wanted to be on the other side of the booth. It had this raw, hypnotic energy that pulled me in completely. Nearly 30 years later, it still hits just as hard as the first time I heard it. Danny Tenaglia – Elements I first heard Danny play this at club Tunnel in NYC while he was testing it before its release. I spent months hunting it down until I finally found it in a local record shop. The way it unfolds breaking down and showcasing each element I thought was genius. It deepened my love for this music and solidified my decision to keep going down this path. This remix hit at the perfect time, with this amazing baseline and right groove for those long, late-night sets. I remember playing it during some of my earliest gigs, and it always shifted the energy in the room. This track was a blueprint for the kind of sound I was gravitating toward. When this came out in 2004, it felt like a secret weapon. The vocal had just the right amount of emotion and Skylark's remix gave it this rolling, hypnotic drive that locked people in. I remember playing it in packed basements and sunrise sets, it always created a moment and turned the room upside down when it dropped. It wasn't the loudest or the flashiest track, but it had a pulse you could ride for minutes. For me, it was a masterclass in restraint and groove, in combination with a sexy, uplifting vocal. Everyone knew the original from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, that quirky, unmistakable vocal. But when Booka Shade remixed it in 2006, they turned it into something completely different. It was stripped-back, groovy, and surprisingly playable. I loved how it brought a bit of humour and nostalgia to the floor while still keeping that cool, minimal edge. It always caught people by surprise, and that's what made it so fun to drop. Seuil - Ultravision (feat. Jaw) I first heard this record at Robot Heart during my first Burning Man in 2011. The setting it was played in, combined with the vibe of the track, left me emotional and curious for more. That year changed a lot for me both in my taste in music and the direction I wanted to take as a DJ. This track marked a real turning point for me. It was one of the first records where I fully brought my vision to life emotionally, musically, and visually. Working with Camille Safiya on the vocal gave it a raw, haunting feel that I hadn't tapped into before. It wasn't just about making a club record; it was about telling a story. I spent months crafting the sound, and later shot a full music video for it, which ended up winning a film festival. "Fearing Love" reminded me that dance music could go deeper that it could move people beyond the dancefloor. This one felt like a reminder of why I love this music, deep, trippy, and full of subtle emotion. Barac has a way of creating space in his tracks, and this one in particular always pulled me in. I found myself playing it during long, late sets when the crowd was fully locked in. It's the kind of record that doesn't scream for attention but says everything it needs to if you're really listening. Dan Ghenacia - Rouge ou Noir This one instantly stood out to me. The groove had that signature French funk, loopy, raw, and full of character. I remember playing it late one night and watching the whole room lock into it. Just one of those records that reminds you how much can be said with so little. This was the first release on my label, "This Moment," so it carries a lot of weight for me. It's a stripped-back track with a heavy groove and Camille's vocal cutting right through the space. Everything sits exactly where it needs to nothing extra, just a tight, focused sound. It set the tone for the label and the kind of records I want to stand behind. I have been testing it for a few years and it hasn't failed once, so I'm really excited about this release. Out aug 7th on "This Moment"
