Chris Paul and Burning Bright return from Gart to break down Gore Verbinski's 2025 dark sci fi comedy Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, written by Matthew Robinson and starring Sam Rockwell, Juno Temple, Haley Lou Richardson, Michael Pena, and Zazie Beetz. The premise is delightfully strange. A man from the future shows up at a Los Angeles diner on his 117th attempt to recruit the exact right combin...

Tesla once wrote that he hoped to live long enough to see "Bulwer's dream realized." Turns out that is a real reference, and Matt Ehret spends Part 2 unpacking exactly what it means. The dream belongs to Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a 19th century novelist whose fictional tale of a hidden super race wielding a mysterious energy called Vril went on to directly shape Madame Blavatsky's Theosophy, Aleis...

Former ICE Denver Field Office Director John Fabbricatore joins Ashe for a conversation that goes well beyond talking points. He was there in Aurora when Tren de Aragua took over an apartment complex, while Colorado officials insisted it was a Republican fabrication. He was inside HHS trying to locate the hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children the Biden administration let into the country...

Jon Herold, Chris Paul, and Burning Bright broadcast live and freezing from a deck in Deadwood, South Dakota for GART weekend, and somehow still manage to get into the substance. Trump's truth post calling out the American energy cartel gets a full breakdown, with Burning Bright connecting it back to January's oil executive dinner and floating a theory that Trump may be laying groundwork for an ac...

CannCon and Chris Paul bring Badlands Daily live from GART 12 in Deadwood, South Dakota with a Friday show full of Supreme Court decisions and congressional takedowns. Venezuela is hit with back to back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes as the country was beginning its reintegration into global trade, and Trump immediately offers federal assistance. The Brandon Gill versus SNAP hearing clip goes v...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid had to actively look for things to be sad about this week and could not find any. Yesterday and today the White House went full blown Q in public for the first time. The "Q means Quantum" post hid a special character at line 48, which decodes to Q drop 48 about Q clearance and the Department of Energy. The fake Always Trust 47 post landed at 14:25 Eastern, which decodes...

Ghost opens episode 116 with Trump's latest gaggle confirming the Hormuz naval blockade is history, US farmers are getting paid to feed Iran, and critics like Ted Cruz need to be "educated" on the deal's terms. The IAEA inspections dispute gets the full treatment: Ghost breaks down how Iran only denied inspecting its bombed facilities, not all facilities, and why the media is deliberately misrepre...

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday on a short show before heading to Deadwood and delivers two things worth staying for. First, a pointed and honest analysis of who is actually hyping the White House quantum computing posts as Q confirmation: Jon asked seven OG Anons who have no financial stake in being right, and all seven said it looks like a troll. The only people going all in are content creators try...

CannCon and Ghost open the final show before GART week in Deadwood with a Tuesday packed with stories that connect in ways most people are not seeing. An AP investigation with a named whistleblower reveals the DEA knowingly allowed 74,000 fentanyl pills to flood New Mexico between 2023 and 2025 to catch bigger fish while running the "one pill can kill" public campaign at the same time. Bill Pulte...

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 190 with a laugh at Zak's expense after a fake Q alert briefly fooled him live on air, followed by a genuine debate about what the White House Q meme actually signals and why the decoder community is not the same thing as the Q drops themselves. Then the show picks up where Episode 189 left off on the GATE program, and this week the audience showed up with rec...

Was Hitler a Christian nationalist hero or a black magician puppet of Satanic bankers? Matt Ehrett, filmmaker and author of "Black Sun Rising," joins Ashe to answer that question and then some. From the Thule Society's demon-summoning sessions at Wewelsburg Castle to Michael Aquino running Operation Phoenix in a US military uniform after being initiated into the Church of Satan, this episode goes...

Think Tesla was a persecuted genius who just wanted to give the world free energy? Matt Ehret would like a word. In Part 1 of this deep dive, he traces Tesla's closest friendship to George Sylvester Virek, Hitler's official Washington spokesman, Aleister Crowley disciple, and organizer of the 1939 Madison Square Garden Nazi rally. Along the way Ehret documents Tesla's enthusiastic support for mand...

The rematch is here, and the boys still haven't recovered from last time. Part 2 of the Battle of the Sexes crossover brings together CannCon and Christy, Cam and Jackie, Ashe in America, and Alpha Warrior for another round of trivia chaos during a special GART Week edition. Stakes are high: the losers serve drinks at Live DPH and rename their show. Expect heated debates over car battery voltages...

Jon Herold comes in Monday one day from Deadwood and GART, which means the show is lighter on prep and heavier on honesty. Reuters confirmed what Jon's source already told him: the White House has been sitting on the ODNI voting machine vulnerability report for months over concerns it could undermine voter confidence, and Jon asks the obvious question about what a limited hangout looks like if the...

CannCon and Zak Paine open GART week with a Monday show full of political fireworks before Deadwood. Trump called it on Truth Social over the weekend and it happened: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigns, becoming the seventh British leader in ten years. Zak connects Starmer's tenure to the Jimmy Savile prosecution he buried and the Pakistani rape gang cases he never brought. Colombia elects Tru...

Burning Bright brings Ashe in America on for Father's Day and the eve of GART Deadwood for a wide-ranging episode that earns its title. The two map out why Trump's second term has been more frictional than most truthers anticipated, why that friction is a feature, and why the Republican establishment quietly emerging from its cave right now is exactly what a counter striker wants. Ashe breaks down...

Jonathan Drake is still long winded, Section Two of Spooner's "Natural Law" is still just one paragraph, and yet somehow this takes an entire episode. Predictably, it earns every minute. The central distinction of the night is one that sounds simple until you think about it: being illegal is always immoral, but being immoral is not always illegal. Legal violations empower the executioner. Moral vi...

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show by finally finding the tape: CannCon saying, on video, that the gas price national average would hit $2.40 by July 4. Then things get serious. Tulsi Gabbard's final declassification releases get a full assessment and neither host is impressed. Russia collusion debunked again, Fauci lied to Congress again, Ukraine biolabs confirmed again. Chris Paul...

Episode 57 of Flow comes in hot the weekend before GART Deadwood with Cam Cooksey riding the high of attending the Czechia vs. South Africa World Cup match in Atlanta with Jackie. He walks through Trump's True Social posts: no tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, no money for Iran, the "not just 13, an unlucky number" Supreme Court signal buried in the filibuster post, and the May 1st "I have all the ca...

Phil Scarborough dropped a new AI-generated OnlyLands intro that the crew watched three times and still could not fully process. That set the tone. From there it is wall-to-wall World Cup energy: Cam fresh off the Czechia vs. South Africa match in Atlanta, viral videos of Europeans discovering Bass Pro Shops and Waffle House, a US team winning odds debate that got personal, and the pride jersey qu...

No slides, no homework, just a party. Host Matt Trump declares his Juneteenth independence from slide preparation and delivers a warm, wide-ranging World Cup Friday night hangout. The big story? Europeans arriving for the FIFA World Cup and discovering that America is nothing like what their media told them. Buc-ee's, Waffle House, giant grocery stores, air conditioning, window screens, and the sh...

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince are back in a pre-recorded episode packed with substance. Nearly two thirds of American men are overweight or obese, but for the first time in 50 years obesity rates have ticked down. Is it MAHA, peptides, or just economic stress cutting back the Cheez-It budget? RFK sends a formal letter demanding answers from a medical journal that quietly removed a study linking va...

Ghost opens episode 115 on the day the Iran deal is officially ratified at Versailles, the Strait of Hormuz is declared open, and CENTCOM lifts the naval blockade entirely. But within hours, Israeli armor columns push north of the Litani River toward Nabatia, four IDF soldiers are killed including a battalion chief, and Iran cancels JD Vance's Geneva meeting in protest. Ghost walks through who act...

Jon Herold comes in on Juneteenth in surprisingly good spirits and with a lot to sort through. Tulsi Gabbard released her COVID declass video on her final day as DNI, and Jon's take is the same as it always has been: Fauci directing the intelligence community to suppress the lab leak was already true in 2021 and her saying it now does not make it more true, though it might finally convince the peo...

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week on Juneteenth with a show that covers geopolitics, the courts, and an intelligence battle playing out in real time. JD Vance holds a press conference confirming the Iran MOU is producing results: 12.5 million barrels moved through the Strait of Hormuz the prior night, gas prices dropping below $4, and Iran honoring the agreement for the second night runnin...
