Bad Friends Ep. 1: In the Beginning Was the Word... and a Lot of Chaos

In this inaugural episode of Bad Friends, a chaotic crew of Badlands Media hosts: Jon Herold, Burning Bright, Ashe in America, Chris Paul, CannCon, Alpha Warrior, Ghost and Zak 'RedPill78' Paine, gathers to kick off a Tuesday night hangout unlike any other. What starts as a low-stakes intro devolves into deeply unserious debates, bursts of laughter, and wildly entertaining tangents about politics, media, and culture. Expect profanity, hot takes, unexpected wisdom, and the kind of off-the-cuff camaraderie that only Badlands can deliver.
 

Badlands Story Hour Ep. 110: The Grey - Survival, Sovereignty & The Alpha Within

Burning Bright and Chris Paul deliver a raw, riveting breakdown of The Grey, the haunting Liam Neeson survival film that’s far more than wolves and wilderness. From meditations on death, masculinity, faith, and purpose to the mirroring of man and pack, this isn’t just a film discussion, it’s a full-blown philosophical expedition.
The duo explores themes of spiritual transformation, alpha dynamics, leadership under pressure, and the human instinct to survive when all hope seems lost. Parallels to the MAGA movement, Trump’s leadership, and the truth community are woven throughout as they break down what it means to endure, and what it costs to lead. With references to psyops, soft war, and the cost-benefit calculus of fighting for truth, this episode is cinematic storytelling meets geopolitical reflection.
If you’ve ever doubted whether movies can speak to our moment...this one’s for you.

Brad & Abbey Live Ep. 144: Greenhouse Wins, Tesla Meltdowns & the Truth About April Fools

Brad and Abbey Zerbo bring cozy homestead vibes and fiery commentary in this uplifting and thought-provoking episode of Brad & Abbey Live. They kick things off with a hilarious and heartwarming update on their greenhouse build, complete with victory dances, mosquito battles, and a deep dive into garden planning and plant intelligence (yes, plants feel fear).
Then it’s back to the battlefield as they unpack the absurdity of anti-Tesla protests, Soros-funded programming, and the shocking federal waste Elon’s Doge team is uncovering, including billion-dollar surveys and retirement paperwork stored in a literal cave. The duo also gets into the origins of April Fools' Day, Trump’s tariff strategy launching on April 2, and why transparency and self-sustainability are the keys to breaking free from a broken system.
From laughter to righteous anger, this episode has it all.

Badlands Book Club Ep. 3: Chapter 4

CannCon and Ashe in America return for Chapter 4 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, and this one’s a scorcher. With Russiagate back in the headlines, the timing couldn’t be better as the duo unpacks “Objective Medusa”, Kash’s inside account of how the deep state weaponized the FBI to take down Trump. From Stzrok and Page’s infamous “insurance policy” to Michael Sussmann’s $8 thumb drive of fabricated Alpha Bank claims, every page is loaded with corruption, cover-ups, and circular reporting loops involving Fusion GPS, Bruce Ohr, and the Clinton campaign.
Along the way, Ashe and CannCon drop fresh commentary on SignalGate, classified document games, and the media’s role in manufacturing the lie, and they draw parallels to their own lived experience battling lawfare and government obstruction. Equal parts fury and fun, this episode is a blistering read-along you won’t want to miss.

The Daily Herold: April 1, 2025 – Taiwan Tensions, Georgia’s QR Code Ruling & Trump’s Tariff Timing

Jon Herold kicks off a jam-packed April Fools Day episode with not one, but two powerhouse guests. First up is Gabrielle Cuccia from OAN, bringing Pentagon insight on escalating China-Taiwan tensions, bizarre propaganda tactics, and signs of coming kinetic conflict in the Pacific. Later, CannCon joins the show to break down the shocking dismissal of the Curling v. Raffensperger election case, eight years, millions spent, and a ruling that says voters don’t need to know how their vote is counted.
Jon wraps it all up with a whirlwind of news: Trump's executive orders on concert ticket scalping and billion-dollar investments, the Senate's fight over Canada tariffs, a lawsuit to stop Trump’s HHS cuts, and more mainstream media spin...this time, about a "Maryland father" with MS-13 ties. It’s a fast-moving episode full of sharp analysis, media takedowns, and a few well-earned rants.

Badlands Daily: April 1, 2025 – WHO Treaty Tyranny, DNC Panic Lawsuit & Trump’s Truth Offensive

CannCon and Ashe in America kick off April with sharp takes on the WHO pandemic treaty, the media’s gaslighting tactics, and Trump's control over the narrative. From the irony of legacy press “debunking” Trump’s truth to a look at the social dynamics behind kneeling to lies, this episode doesn’t hold back. Plus, reactions to Musk's eye-popping Neuralink clip, NASA’s moon mission, and a DNC lawsuit that may hint at panic behind the scenes. April Fools? Not here, just another dose of Badlands reality.
 

Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 126: Franklin, Epstein, and the Octopus of Evil

Jon Herold and Zak Paine continue their deep dive into the Franklin scandal, exploring the long-buried connections between institutional abuse, the suppression of truth, and the power structures protecting it all. From the bizarre circumstances surrounding Virginia Giuffre’s car crash and sudden kidney failure to the unreleased Discovery Channel documentary, the hosts peel back layers of conspiracy, cover-up, and corruption. They connect Franklin to Epstein, MK Ultra, and modern satanic pedophile networks like Order of Nine Angles. With hard-hitting commentary, unsettling truths, and a dose of gallows humor, this episode is a masterclass in refusing to look away.
 

The Book of Trump - Chapter 11: The Las Vegas Shooting

In this powerful episode of Book of Trump, Ghost is joined by GMoney and Zak “RedPill78” Paine for an explosive breakdown of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, an event that woke up millions and still raises more questions than answers. GMoney recounts his harrowing firsthand experience as a survivor that night, offering raw insights into the chaos, fear, and cover-up that followed. The trio dives deep into theories involving helicopters, Saudi power struggles, CIA-Mossad links, and possible assassination attempts tied to MBS.
They also explore how the mainstream narrative collapsed under the weight of citizen investigation, how truth was scrubbed from the internet, and how false flags can be both real and weaponized. This one is gritty, emotional, and essential, capturing the pain, rage, and determination to never forget what really happened that night in Vegas.
