Badlands Media

This chaotic episode of OnlyLands brings together a rotating crew of Badlands hosts for an unfiltered night of comedy, sports takes, and complete conversational derailment. The show opens with Thanksgiving leftovers and AI-generated photo hilarity before spiraling into stories about feral cranes attacking humans, disastrous Black Friday injuries, and a debate over whether Florida wildlife is actively plotting against humanity. From there the crew unloads on college football insanity, bad coaching calls, and the emotional trauma of rivalry week, with side quests into reality TV, dog ownership disasters, terrible tattoos, and boomer tech meltdowns. Listener submissions spark tangents on bizarre license plates, cursed memes, failed home repairs, and why nobody trusts Amazon drivers anymore. With the hosts roasting each other nonstop and the chat egging them on, the episode is peak OnlyLands: no structure, no brakes, all vibes...and a holiday hangout full of laughter.

On this Thanksgiving-week episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump dives into the true early life of George Washington, using the upcoming film Young Washington as a launching point for a deep historical journey. After opening with holiday reflections, parade observations, and shifting cultural symbolism, Matt explores the origins of Thanksgiving through Washington’s own proclamations before moving into a sweeping lesson on colonial America. He traces Washington’s family roots along the Potomac, the rise of Virginia’s planter class, the formation of the Ohio Company, and Washington’s three expeditions into the Ohio Country that helped ignite the French and Indian War. Through maps, anecdotes, and vivid descriptions of Washington’s encounters with the French, the Iroquois, and the brutal frontier, Matt unpacks how a 21-year-old Washington—ambitious, flawed, and untested—played a direct role in sparking a global conflict. He follows this thread to the fall of Fort Necessity, Braddock’s disastrous campaign, Washington’s improbable survival, and the eventual British victory that set the stage for the Revolution. Blending humor, personal stories, and meticulous research, Matt brings to life the young man who would become America’s founding giant.

On this Black Friday edition of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America dive into a packed night of election-integrity revelations, legal twists, and geopolitical chaos, with a surprise appearance from Colonel Towner. The episode opens with light holiday banter before shifting into explosive stories about non-citizen voter registrations in Pennsylvania, a resurfaced Fifth Circuit ruling requiring ballots to be received by Election Day, and the renewed fight to end early voting as a loophole for manipulation. Ashe and CannCon call out years of voter-roll corruption, failed consent decrees, and the ERIC system’s role in flooding rolls with ineligible voters. The conversation deepens when Colonel Towner joins to dismantle the CIA-centric narratives emerging from the recent Laura Logan interview and Emerald Robinson thread, arguing that the agency is scrambling to rewrite history and get ahead of coming election-interference disclosures. The hosts connect these narratives to broader operations, from cartel money flows to CIA assets in South America, and the suspicious timing of domestic “incidents” meant to shape public perception. By the end, they frame the week’s events as coordinated attempts to redirect the public away from the real machinery of election fraud.

On this post-Thanksgiving edition of MAHA News, Jordan Sather and Nate Prince kick things off with holiday banter before digging into a rapid-fire barrage of health, agriculture, and regulatory bombshells. They react to Dr. Marty Makari’s explosive podcast revelations about Lyme disease origins and U.S. cancer patients’ cells being gene-edited in China, then break down major shifts inside America’s health agencies, from new HHS leadership to Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham stepping in as the CDC’s new #2. The hosts examine the uproar over the CDC’s vaccine-autism webpage update, Senator Bill Cassidy’s pharma-funded outrage, and newly exposed corruption inside HHS. From there, the episode turns to food and agriculture: Campbell’s Soup executives trashing their own products, PFAS pesticide approvals, and Chuck Grassley’s defense of Big Ag as Kennedy advisors target harmful pesticides. Jordan and Nate highlight alarming cancer clusters in heavy-spray states, unpack USDA and EPA failures, and spotlight ranchers fighting back through private-member co-ops and new grassroots alliances aimed at breaking the Big Four packer monopoly. They close with cannabis policy hypocrisy, fluoride debates, demographic decline, and the MAHA community’s new health challenge board.

In this fast-paced post-Thanksgiving episode, Ghost kicks things off by delivering the rants left over from Tuesday’s interrupted show before diving straight into global turbulence. He unpacks audience boosts, Monty Python jokes, oil economics in Venezuela and Ghana, and viewer updates from abroad, casually weaving in Middle Eastern geopolitics and Russian-aligned narratives. From Hillary Clinton and Skolkovo to Medvedev’s tech ambitions, Brain-Drain Russia, and the purges shaping Putin’s power structure, Ghost explores how these dynamics mirror what’s unfolding in Ukraine. He then zooms in on Zelensky’s internal collapse, mass resignations, corruption raids, and doubts about Kyiv’s legitimacy, all while Trump’s peace-deal pressure campaign intensifies behind the scenes. Bringing his trademark humor, receipts, and geopolitical mind-mapping, Ghost ties together Ukraine, MBS, Qatar, and CIA fingerprints across global destabilization efforts. It’s classic Geopolitics with Ghost: rants, receipts, and a gritty walk through the realignment underway across the world.

Jon Herold returns from Thanksgiving with a light news day but plenty of sharp commentary as he recaps hosting family, cooking with the ChefIQ, and catching up on Stranger Things before diving into Trump’s fiery Thanksgiving message—complete with Trump’s unapologetic takedown of Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz, mass immigration, and the costs of supporting millions of non-citizens. Jon highlights Trump’s vow to permanently pause migration from third-world countries, eliminate benefits for non-citizens, and potentially end income tax altogether. He then turns to Ukraine, covering the major resignation of Zelensky’s top aide and peace negotiator following an anti-corruption raid, questioning how corruption could possibly be “cleaned up” when every associate around Zelensky keeps falling. Jon digs back into the Emerald Robinson controversy, calling parts of the narrative contradictory and illogical, and discusses why certain election-fraud claims feel like deliberate misdirection. He closes with audience Q&A on Ratcliffe, devolution, irregular warfare, narrative control, silver prices, family updates, and why Trump’s critics underestimate him at their own peril, before signing off for family photos and raiding Ghost’s show.

On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America open with the shocking fallout from the DC National Guard ambush, tracking new details about the suspect’s CIA-linked Afghan Special Forces past and the unexplained inconsistencies surrounding his motives, background, and timeline. They dig into Alyssa Slotkin’s inflammatory rhetoric, the Seditious Six, and the broader implications of foreign-trained operatives embedded across the U.S. The conversation expands into Biden’s disastrous Afghan withdrawal, the flood of unvetted migrants, and Trump’s forceful response — including his order for a rigorous re-examination of green cards from countries of concern and his fiery Thanksgiving message promising a permanent immigration pause. From cartel-linked drug routes to geopolitical shifts in Ukraine peace negotiations and the China-Taiwan dynamic, the hosts connect how global power struggles, intelligence operations, and domestic instability are colliding in real time.

In this moving episode of The Choice, Ashe in America and Ghost unpack “Indescribable Compassion,” a chapter rich with foreshadowing, tension, and some of the most powerful character moments yet. As Thanksgiving arrives, the hosts explore how the episode weaves biblical accounts with fictional elements to highlight themes of desperation, faith, and awakening. They walk through the emotional opening with the leper, shunned, humiliated, and clinging to hope, and discuss how the episode mirrors the ancient treatment of lepers with modern societal reactions during COVID. Ashe and Ghost break down the growing conflict around Jesus’s rising influence, the uncomfortable pressure it places on the Pharisees, and Nicodemus’s deepening spiritual crisis as he realizes something extraordinary is unfolding before his eyes. They also revisit the childhood story Jesus shares, Rivka’s bold faith, the dramatic healing of the paralytic, and Shmuel’s escalating fear as the crowd recognizes Jesus’s authority. With thoughtful commentary, personal reflections, and scriptural connections, Ashe and Ghost illuminate how the episode sets the stage for the seismic shifts to come.
 
 
 

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open Episode 410 with Thanksgiving updates and community banter before diving into a chaotic week defined by clashing storylines, contradictory reports, and information that simply doesn’t add up. They break down the Democrats’ sudden push around “illegal orders,” the reaction cycles on X, and the way influencers and media personalities are shaping public perception, sometimes accidentally, sometimes strategically. The Venezuela situation takes center stage as they sift through Emerald Robinson’s sprawling thread, Trump’s comments, conflicting details about catamarans, storms, cartel networks, and the State Department’s unusual movements, all of which raise questions about what’s really happening behind the scenes. Jon and BB also analyze the recent peace-call transcript involving Putin, shifting Ukraine war timelines, oil and LNG maneuvers, South American instability, and emerging signs of a global reshuffle. With humor, skepticism, and sharp geopolitical insight, they guide listeners through a week where the official narratives blur together, the contradictions pile up, and the truth feels buried beneath layers of noise.
