Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Paul

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show with Tulsi Gabbard's bio lab declassification, which both hosts dismiss as a limited hangout repeating information that has been public since 2021 and 2022. They float a more interesting possibility: that the real declassification work may be coming from the Presidential Intelligence Advisory Board under Devin Nunez rather than the DNI's office at all. The Iran situation gets its full theater treatment, with Trump's True Social posts about a peace deal timed to his birthday, an Apache helicopter shoot down, and the familiar self defense strikes framing, alongside the coordinated takeout of a Tren de Aragua leader in Venezuela. Spencer Pratt's concession video gets dissected for what it reveals about the LA mayoral race, paired with Steve Hilton's bizarre campaign ad and the voter ID ballot measure backed by Palmer Luckey, the Winklevoss twins, and Nicole Shanahan. The new NSPM 12 cybersecurity directive gets connected to last week's AI memo and the breaking news that the Trump administration imposed export controls on Anthropic's new Fable model over jailbreak concerns. The show closes with a New York Times excerpt detailing the White House's yearlong Situation Room scramble over the Epstein files.

On this episode, we put Jalen Brunson under the microscope and ask a simple question: at their absolute best, who would you rather have? Brunson goes head-to-head with Tyrese Haliburton, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, and Chris Paul as we debate where the Knicks superstar truly belongs among the elite. Plus, we break down the eight MLB contenders that should be pushing all their chips in for Tarik Skubal, and examine which teams make the most sense as trade partners. We also go through every major National League and American League contender with a Why They Win, Why They Lose outlook heading into the stretch run, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses that could define October. Finally, we shift to the NFL and rank our top 10 offenses and top 10 defenses entering the season, including some surprise risers and a few powerhouse teams that could dominate on both sides of the ball. From Brunson's place among NBA stars to MLB playoff races and NFL rankings, this episode covers it all. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a show that whiplashes in real time right alongside the news itself. Trump tells Fox News in the morning that bombing Iran will continue and be bigger than ever, then hours later announces on Truth Social that strikes are canceled and a memorandum of understanding has been signed with eleven countries including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. In the Oval Office, Trump reveals the Strait of Hormuz has secretly been open the entire time, with hundreds of millions of barrels of oil quietly moved out at night while radar was jammed, directly undercutting the media narrative that blamed gas prices on a closed strait. Within the hour, Trump posts again accusing Iran of lying about the deal terms and says the war may be back on. Chris Paul makes the case that the discombobulation itself may be the point, an invitation to step back and simply observe rather than form beliefs from contradictory information. CannCon and Chris also dig into the Hill's reporting on a growing GOP civil war, with Massey, MTG, and Ro Khanna appearing together in ways that suggest either organic coalition building or a scripted third party operation. JD Vance heads to Europe to finalize the deal before a View appearance back home.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 sequel The Godfather Part II, considered by many to be the greatest film of all time and certainly the greatest sequel. Starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, and John Cazale as the unforgettable Fredo, this is one of the rare second installments that completely flips the tone of the original and absolutely earns it. The conversation circles the dual storylines of young Vito building an empire from immigrant nothing in New York and Michael unraveling the same empire from inside his Tahoe compound. Burning Bright argues that De Niro's Vito chases power because he saw what power does to people, while Michael only knows how to hold onto power he was handed, making him a pale shadow of his father even as he ascends to greater heights. They unpack the Fanucci scene as a perfect lesson in how abstract power collapses the moment someone calls the bluff, the Hyman Roth and Meyer Lansky parallel with Cuba in 1958 as a preview of what may be coming again, the Joker analog for Michael's endgame of just winning, and Kay's spite abortion as a stunning window into how openly anti family the 1970s really were.

Jon Herold comes in Thursday on a slow news day that gets spectacularly un-slow mid-show. Trump posts a detailed plan to bomb Iran and take Kharg Island, Jon raises a Sun Tzu objection, and then within the hour Trump posts again canceling everything because a peace deal has been approved by every party in the region. Chris Paul had predicted the reversal in the Badlands private Telegram chat before it happened, and Jon finds that deeply satisfying. Jon also spends significant time on the New York Times Epstein book video and arrives at the opposite conclusion the Times intends: the entire narrative confirms the Epstein story was a coordinated op against Trump, not evidence of a coverup. MTG going on CNN to call Trump a traitor over the files does not help his read on her. Federal prosecutors issued subpoenas to JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo in a criminal political debanking investigation, and Jon says expand it immediately to PayPal, YouTube, Instagram, and every platform that kicked people off for political speech. The USPS just proposed new ballot tracking standards tied directly to Trump's election integrity order, and Jon connects it to the USPS blockchain voting patent that has been sitting quietly for years. Senate Democrats are apparently wargaming how to stop Trump from stealing the midterms, and Jon calls it the most telling projection he has seen in months.

On today's show, Pat, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys recap game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, preview game 4 of the NBA Finals, and chat about everything else happening around the sports world. Also joining the progrum is Hall of Famer, 10x All-Star, 6x All-NBA, and NBC NBA analyst, Carmelo Anthony; 16 year NHL veteran, Stanley Cup Champion, and ESPN NHL analyst, TJ Oshie; 21 year NBA veteran, future Hall of Famer, Chris Paul; and lastly, international music superstar, and National Anthem singer of UFC Freedom 250, Zac Brown.

Burning Bright brings Chris Paul back to the Narrative for a rare and candid state of the union on the truth community itself. The central question: is it possible that a community defined by escaping one matrix has accidentally built another? The two trace the epistemological failure at the root of accidental awakenings, q normies, and the grift incentive structure rewarding certainty over honesty. Using Trump's Kristen Welker interview as a live case study, they argue that defending the Iran war as real puts even hardcore MAGA in an intellectually indefensible position, and that the discombobulator may be pointed squarely at the base on purpose. Sharp, uncomfortable, and ultimately encouraging.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show with the Los Angeles mayoral election slowly being stolen in plain sight, breaking down the New York Post video that tries to explain away helicopter ballot deliveries, six-day postal delays within the same state, and centralized ballot processing as mere quirky California inefficiency. Chris Paul dismantles the "incompetence not malevolence" framing live on air and makes the harder argument: no legitimate government can be formed if no election result is verifiable by anyone. The SAVE Act's chicken and egg problem gets illustrated perfectly by Elon Musk's own posts. Then NSPM 11 drops, revealing two classified directives nobody knew existed, with the AI national security memo prompting a sharp conversation about autonomous warfare and the surveillance implications of AI having access to everything. Trump's pardon of Steven Beyer gets a deep look: it is the only pardon this term where Trump publicly named every recommending official, all current or former elected representatives, and Jon makes the case he is deliberately putting congress members on blast for backing an insider trading conviction. The show closes on the CIA's David Rush, arrested with 303 gold bars, who built a fake continuity of government program inside the CIA while the Washington Post ties itself in knots insisting only five people knew about a program four of them just described to a reporter.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright finally sit down with Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterpiece The Godfather, based on the Mario Puzo novel and starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keaton. Both guys came to it fresh, with Burning Bright admitting he had never even watched it before this episode, and walked away convinced it absolutely lives up to its legendary reputation. The conversation centers on the changing of the guard from Vito's old world honor culture to Michael's coldly pragmatic zero sum game, with Sonny stuck as a will without tact and Tom Hagen as the official interpreter who fails because the rule set itself is dying. They dig into the controlled opposition between honor and business as two different justifications for chasing the same worldly prize, why both sides are spiritually bankrupt, and how Vito's actual power projection in his youth is what makes his soft power work as an old man. From there they go big picture on Donald Trump as Vito (and maybe as Michael), narrative warfare as the prime lever of power rather than an ancillary tool, mandate cultivation versus mandate manufacturing, the horse head as the perfect actual narrative fusion, and why don't insult my intelligence is finally where the audience is landing on the regime.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Friday that ranges from California vote counting to the Ukraine end game. Spencer Pratt's 25,000 vote lead over Karen Bass is evaporating in late mail-in counting, and Chris Paul maps the epistemological trap: the same people who watched this happen in 2022 are going to accept the outcome because by the time it is announced, attention has moved on. CannCon flags the 40% primary turnout surge in LA that cannot be explained by anyone running except Pratt, and notes that Los Angeles is the only county in the United States still using Smartmatic. The GOP civil war produces three separate betrayals in one week: Ukraine aid and Russia sanctions pass the House in defiance of Trump, six senators vote to block the White House ballroom, and Collins, Murkowski, Tillis, and McConnell block the SAVE Act. Chris Paul makes the case that none of it matters because Trump does not need congress for anything he is actually doing. CannCon walks through the June calendar: Section 702 lapsing June 12, SpaceX IPO, disclosure day, Trump UFC, G7, a DC rally on June 24, and Supreme Court decisions all overlapping with an active protest movement. The Hunter Biden cooperating witness theory gets its most complete treatment yet.

Jon Herold comes in Friday on a show that starts with a funeral. DOGE.gov has been taken down after five months of no updates, and Jon is in genuine mourning over the loss of his reliable eight-second daily segment. Then things get more serious: Spencer Pratt is being slowly and obviously bumped from the LA mayoral runoff by late-arriving ballots while everyone watches, federal prosecutors confirm multiple California election fraud investigations, and Trump is posting about it in real time. Jon delivers his funniest and most logical takedown yet of the "just vote them out" solution to election fraud, complete with a mock ballot system for whether the audience should vote. The Save America Act was rejected 48-50 in the Senate with four Republicans opposing it, and Jon asks Elon Musk and others to explain how voting out people in a fraudulent system fixes the fraudulent system. Trump also told the Wall Street Journal he wants Pulte to shrink or possibly terminate the ODNI entirely, which Jon and Chris Paul have been saying for a long time. Seven Senate Republicans including Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Mike Lee joined Democrats to kill the FISA renewal. The US and Russia signed a Bering Strait tunnel design agreement today. Trump endorsed Lindsey Graham. Jon has thoughts.

On today's show, Pat, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys preview tonight's Stanley Cup Finals Game 1 between the Las Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes, talk more about the fallout from both of the massive trades in the NFL yesterday involving Myles Garrett and Jared Verse, and AJ Brown, the electricity of the WCWS, and everything else happening in the sports world. They are also joined by several incredible guests including 12 year NFL veteran and ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky; WWE Superstar/NHL reporter Jackie Redmond; ESPN Senior MLB Insider Jeff Passan; 21 year NBA veteran and future Hall of Famer, Chris Paul; and 19 year NHL veteran, former #1 overall pick, and ESPN NHL analyst, Erik Johnson.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show with Trump's "I don't care about the midterms" clip still rattling through the community and immediately connect it to Trump's statement that the Great Big Beautiful Bill put four years of legislation into one bill because congress is ineffective and Trump already got everything he needed. Chris Paul delivers a full argument: if you pass everything in one bill and you don't care about the midterms, the logical conclusion is that Trump never trusted congress and never intended to rely on it. The Atlantic's "Trump might already be a lame duck" article gets a thorough dissection as pure narrative seeding, with the guys noting that the outlet is simultaneously running Trump collapse and Trump dominance stories in the same news cycle because they genuinely do not know what the results will be. The NDAA Section 224 US/Israel defense cooperation provision gets a fair reading, with Jon pushing back on the viral "full merger" framing and arguing it is disclosure of an already existing relationship. The Ken Paxton Texas win raises the age of Trump vs. age of Trumpism question. The aliens.gov rug pull, the summer ICE protest cycle, CIA gold bars, Fort Knox, and Polymarket as a measurement of narrative consumption round out the show.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle David Ayer's 2014 World War II film Fury, starring Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, and Michael Pena. Burning Bright picked it as a Memorial Day rewatch and argues it is one of the most underrated war films of the modern era, deserving way more credit than Saving Private Ryan style lionization tends to allow. The guys dig into the five very different spiritual approaches of the tank crew, the dehumanization of war daddy, bible, gordo, kunas, and the painfully innocent Norman, and why the infamous early execution scene is not the glorification it gets accused of being. They unpack the central biblical passage from First John chapter two, do not love the world or anything in the world, as the real moral spine of the film and the heart of all discernment. From there they go big picture, hitting Jevons paradox and how better military tech just means more efficient mass sacrifice, why World War II had the cleanest cartoon story of any modern war, the controlled opposition Nazi op being run on MAGA right now, narrative shielding through Donald Trump's hyper Zionist posture, and the fiery tank as a birth canal delivering Norman into a second chance.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out May with a Friday that mixes epistemology, geopolitics, and fraud exposure in equal measure. Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket explodes during a test fire at Cape Canaveral, and Chris Paul uses it to open a discussion on predictive programming, the feedback loop between Hollywood and government, and the fundamental epistemological question nobody asks: how do we actually know the things we are told are true? The Trump White House drops a troll page called whitehouse.gov/aliens using UFO language to describe 3.1 million illegal immigrant encounters, and the conversation about real disclosure follows naturally. Axios publishes another Iran deal framework that Chris Paul dismantles piece by piece, noting the media does not know who is negotiating on either side and has published multiple false frameworks already. The CSIS think tank, funded by the Gates Foundation, Open Societies, Rockefeller Brothers, and 16 foreign governments, warns that US weapons stockpiles are depleted after the Iran conflict, and CannCon identifies it as the military industrial complex demanding a rebuild. The national debt interest now consumes 19 cents of every federal tax dollar. A Fox News segment reveals North Carolina had an 11,000 percent increase in autism therapy Medicaid billing in four years, Minnesota 51,000 percent since 2018, and Todd Blanche confirms politicians including Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar are in the scope of accountability.

On today's show, Pat, AJ Hawk and the boys chat about tonight's Western Conference Finals Game 6 between the Thunder and Spurs, comments made by JJ McCarthy in reference to his relationship with Kyler Murray, what's going on in MLB as Shohei Ohtani continues to set records as labor negotiations are about to heat up, a recap of last night's conversations with all the league's commissioners, and more. Joining the show is about three great guests including 12 year NFL veteran at QB, 2x Emmy award winner for NFL Live, and ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky, to chat about the Kyler Murray/JJ McCarthy situation, which teams with new OC's he's worried about, and more. Next, Stanley Cup Champion, 18 year NHL veteran, 2006 1st overall pick, and ESPN NHL analyst, Erik Johnson joins the show to discuss the Carolina Hurricanes looks like they're pulling away from the Habs, how Vegas managed to sweep the Avs, and more. Later, 21 year NBA veteran, 12x All-Star, 11x All-NBA, 9x All NBA-Defense, and 2x Gold Medalist, Chris Paul joins the show to chat about Adam Silver and Tyrese Haliburton's comments last night on the state of the NBA, his stance on all the flopping and how it's getting taught now, his thoughts on tonight's game, this run the Knicks are on, and more.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open on yet another Saturday shooting outside the White House, this time involving Nazir Best of Maryland, and spend the first segment dissecting why the total evidence for the event is a sound on a video and a reporter ducking. Chris Paul pivots into the history of the Secret Service, tracing its origins to Lincoln's 1865 national currency centralization project, its function as a financial enforcement body, and why its post-9/11 move under DHS fits a pattern of embedding the global security state inside the American government beyond presidential reach. Then comes the week's biggest news: Tulsi Gabbard resigning as DNI effective June 30, with plans to release reports on Havana syndrome, COVID, and the 2020 election. Chris Paul frames these releases as limited hangouts designed to let the air out of each disclosure balloon and explains why the solution is withholding belief rather than waiting for permission from the government to know what you already know. The Iran peace cycle gets its full treatment: Trump's True Social post announcing a memorandum of understanding, Netanyahu's hair on fire, and the Thursday-peace-Monday-bombs pattern that has repeated without interruption for months. The show closes on the post-Civil War constitutional inversion thesis and George P. Fletcher's argument that the reconstruction amendments were passed at bayonet point.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Friday show that covers fearmongering, geopolitics, and a reconciliation bill meltdown. The Hantavirus narrative did not catch on, so Ebola is back: a passenger from the DRC accidentally boards a flight to Detroit, gets diverted to Montreal, and Marco Rubio confirms the US is funding 50 clinics in the DRC while keeping the disease out of the country. Chris Paul frames the whole sequence as a political pressure campaign designed to give impeachment-minded media another angle on Trump. CannCon continues watching the Venezuela playbook unfold in Cuba: Raul Castro indicted, Ratcliffe secretly in Havana, the Nimitz carrier group in the Caribbean, and Trump telling reporters the place is just falling apart and there is no need for military action. The DOJ's $1.76 billion anti-weaponization fund from Trump's personal IRS settlement sends Tom Tillis into a full meltdown on television, and CannCon and Chris Paul dismantle his framing piece by piece. Senate Republicans go home for Memorial Day instead of voting on the reconciliation bill, and the parliamentarian blocks the ballroom funding. CannCon also presents a canary trap theory: the J6 pardoned who do not apply for the fund may be exposing themselves as provocateurs.

Chris Paul is joined by his good friend Josh Capps, a literature professor and screenwriter from Louisiana, sitting in for Burning Bright. The two break down Warren Beatty's 1998 political satire Bulworth, which Beatty wrote, directed, and starred in opposite Halle Berry, Oliver Platt, Don Cheadle, Isaiah Washington, and a nearly silent Sean Astin. Josh argues the film sits on a fascinating cultural crux point. He thinks 1998 was the pivot year when Hollywood shifted toward heavy programming, citing The Truman Show, Deep Impact, Armageddon, and The Siege all landing in the same window. The guys dig into Bulworth's opening confession that political assassinations are just a normal Tuesday for a senator with a fixer on speed dial, the eerie parallel between Bulworth dropping the mask once he had a hit out on himself and the way Trump later dispensed with the political pretense entirely, and Aaron Sorkin's fingerprints on the worst Halle Berry monologues about NAFTA and manufacturing. They also wander through the rise of West Coast rap as a marketing tool aimed at young kids, Public Enemy's 1994 song calling out a fake World Health Organization pandemic, the hierarchy of corporate political influence, and the difference between memory and story.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open on the morning after Thomas Massie's primary loss with APAC already out celebrating publicly, naming Massie and MTG as the two "detractors" they replaced with pro-Israel voices. The guys break down what Trump's 37 and 0 endorsement record actually means in a fraudulent election system: not that Trump picks winners, but that endorsements are narrative disruption tools in a scripted storytelling war. John Podhoretz drops a stunning clip openly declaring that Jewish money will be deployed against antisemitic candidates as a matter of communal survival, and Chris Paul walks through why what he described, said by any other ethnic group, would end careers instantly. Trump's "He'll do whatever I want" Netanyahu quote drops alongside news of a tense call over a Qatar and Pakistan drafted Iran peace memo. Chris Paul reframes the Taliban, Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas as potentially legitimate people's governance authorities rather than terrorist groups, connecting it to Syria, Venezuela, and the Doha agreement pattern. Spencer Pratt's viral LA mayoral AI ads get a full breakdown. The show closes on Trump's DOJ anti-weaponization fund, a $1.776 billion settlement where the DOJ officially acknowledges the "unlawful raid of Mar-a-Lago."

On today's show, Pat, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk and the boys recap last night's insane double OT victory for the Spurs over the Thunder in game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, as well as the Montreal Canadiens going into Buffalo and winning game 7 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. They are also joined by several guests including 21 year NBA veteran, and future Hall of Famer, Chris Paul; 13 year NHL veteran and ESPN NHL analyst PK Subban, 10 year NBA veteran, NBA Champion, and ESPN NBA analyst, Iman Shumpert; the Authority on college football and college basketball, Pete Thamel; and lastly, Olympic Gold Medalist, United States hero, and Center for the New Jersey Devils, Jack Hughes.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open on election night with the Kentucky Massie primary consuming the entire MAGA Twitter ecosystem. Jon walks through Trump's blistering True Social posts calling Massie the worst Republican congressman in history and threatening Lauren Boebert's seat, while both hosts make the principled case that the allegation op being run against Massie uses the exact same playbook as Kavanaugh and Stormy Daniels, and the community is failing its own standards. Chris Paul lays out his theory that Trump's endorsements in an era of fake elections are narrative disruption tools, not predictions of winners. From there the show gets philosophical, with Chris delivering his extended metaphor about systematic reality inversion and what it means to be the person correctly calling heads and tails when everyone around you has been conditioned backwards for life. Trump's "I don't think about American finances" Iran doubledown with Brett Baier gets a principled defense. The Twitter algorithm transparency post, the social incentive structure driving the entire influencer class, and Trump's comments on 500,000 Chinese students and the American university system all get their turns. The show closes on the CNN article about the Trump Hantavirus official who runs a YouTube show called Erection Connection.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Friday show built for the big picture. Trump wraps his China summit with Xi, and the White House readout makes no mention of Taiwan, which Chris Paul reads exactly as it should be: the Taiwan crisis is a media fairy tale being dismantled in real time. Xi pledges no weapons to Iran and expresses interest in buying American oil to reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz. While Trump is in Beijing, CIA director Ratcliffe quietly lands in Havana to meet with Cuban officials and Raul Castro's grandson, with CBS simultaneously reporting the US is moving to indict Raul Castro himself. CannCon maps the Venezuela and Iran regime change playbook onto Cuba and asks if 90-mile-away Cuba is next. The House Oversight Committee subpoenas Arabella Advisors' 1630 Fund over the Chorus Program, which paid social media influencers up to $8,000 a month to push Democrat talking points without disclosure. Chris Paul delivers a precise diagnosis of the Daily Wire's collapse, explaining how the Ben Shapiro network was never a product of real political analysis but of algorithm boosting and paid talking points. Chris then lays out his full theory of Trump's discombobulator strategy, explaining how Trump taking every position forces public opposition that resolves false narratives over time.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dig into the 2016 Justin Kurzel film Assassin's Creed, based on the long-running Ubisoft video game series and starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, and Charlotte Rampling. Both guys agree the movie underdelivers on its concept but is way better than the brutal reviews it received at the time, and the conceptual material gives them plenty to chew on. The conversation winds through how open world game engines build only what the player can see (a great metaphor for our own constructed reality), the eerie 2013 trailer for Ubisoft's The Division that predicted COVID with unsettling accuracy, and how Xbox lobbies and 4chan were quietly red-pilling young men years before MAGA existed. From there they dig into the philosophical heart of the film: the Templars chasing the Apple of Eden to eliminate free will, the assassins as imperfect guardians of human sovereignty, and whether a secret society fighting for the people can ever really be on the people's side. They close with the surveillance state as a counterfeit god, JFK's warning about secrecy, and why morality has to be inherent rather than coded by law.

On today's show, Pat is LIVE from Art McNally GameDay Central in NFL HQ in New York while AJ Hawk, Darius Butler, and the boys are live from the ThunderDome. We recap everything going on in the NBA and NHL playoffs, get a look inside the NFL replay process, and get a surprise drop in from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. In the first hour, we are joined by the NFL's Vice President of Replay, Mark Butterworth, who tells us about his path to head of Replay at the NFL, the calls that keep him up at night, what NFL Sunday is like for him, and more. Also in the first hour we are joined by 12x NBA Star Chris Paul to get his Top 3 storylines coming out of the last NBA playoff games, including how important tonight's game is for Wemby's Spurs, Donovan Mitchell refusing to be denied, and SGA showing why he's the reigning MVP of the league, and more. To close out the first hour, ESPN's NFL Senior Analyst Peter Schrager stops by to detail what makes him King of New York, what he loves most about the schedule release, the competition for the games between networks, Fernando Mendoza at Rookie Minicamp, and more. In the second hour, College GameDay Analyst & NFL on Prime Color Commentator Kirk Herbstreit drops by with his dog Peter to tell us why he's excited about the Jets and Chiefs this offseason, the expectations for Lane Kiffin in Baton Rouge, his early pick to win the National Championship, and more. We wrap things up with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stopping by and 13 year NHL Veteran PK Subban coming through in an unbelievable suit to recap all the NHL Playoff action.  Make sure to subscribe to youtube.com/thepatmcafeeshow or watch on ESPN (12-2 EDT), ESPN's YouTube (12-3 EDT), ESPN's YouTube (12-3 EDT) or ESPN+.

Les playoffs fabriquent des légendes… mais ils peuvent aussi changer à jamais la perception d'une superstar. Dans ce troisième quart-temps de Basket Time, l'équipe RMC Sport revient sur plusieurs grands noms de la NBA dont l'héritage reste marqué par des campagnes de playoffs frustrantes ou inachevées. De Tracy McGrady à Chris Paul, en passant par Stephon Marbury, tous ont dominé la ligue individuellement… sans jamais totalement réussir à transformer leur talent en grandes épopées de postseason. Entre malédictions, blessures, contextes compliqués et occasions manquées, pourquoi certains immenses joueurs restent-ils associés à leurs échecs en playoffs ?

Les New York Knicks ont complètement étouffé les Philadelphia 76ers avec un sweep brutal qui relance toutes les critiques autour de Joel Embiid et du projet Sixers. Dans le même temps, Victor Wembanyama se retrouve au centre des débats après son coup de coude polémique contre Naz Reid. Beaucoup lui tombent dessus, d'autres défendent son agressivité. Wemby doit-il apprendre à se contrôler… ou est-ce simplement le passage obligé des très grands en playoffs ? L'équipe de Basket Time revient aussi sur ces stars dont l'histoire en postseason reste compliquée. Tracy McGrady, Chris Paul, Stephon Marbury… des joueurs immenses, mais que les playoffs ont parfois empêché de basculer définitivement dans une autre dimension. Et pour finir, le traditionnel quizz 

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open a looser Saturday show with the UFO file dump that landed with a thud, comparing it directly to the Epstein files as a manufactured mystery with nothing behind the door. The boys break down Trump's announcement of a three-day Russia/Ukraine ceasefire on Victory Day and why every mainstream headline about the "scaled down" parade missed the point entirely. The Presidential Emergency Action Documents resurface in a Daily Beast piece, and Jon walks through the full history of Democrat attempts to access or disclose them since 2020 and why it keeps coming back around election cycles. Trump's announcement that US troops may move from Germany to Poland gets the full treatment as a disentanglement operation, alongside Italy and Spain, framed as the steady unwinding of the US as global police force for the one-world regime. The show closes with a substantive discussion on data centers, the Oliver County, North Dakota community fight against one going in over public objection, the Project Bluebeam/evangelical pastor meeting, Peter Thiel's antichrist lectures, and the Matrix Reloaded parallel to devolution and whether Trump is playing them or playing us.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle the much-maligned middle child of the Matrix trilogy, the 2003 Wachowski sequel starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Hugo Weaving. Burning Bright admits he used to dismiss this one entirely, but a fresh rewatch reveals a film that is not dumb at all, just trying to wrestle with much harder ideas than the original. The guys dig into the philosophical bedrock the film sits on, including Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation and what it means to live in a hyperreality where signs replace the thing itself. They unpack why Zion is presented as such a hedonistic, animalistic place, and whether the Wachowskis really intended it to be the paradise worth saving. From there, they work through the Architect scene as a meditation on how systems build their own opposition into themselves, the Oracle as a mirror for the Q drops, the Merovingian as a possible fallen prior One and a Lucifer figure in the underworld of the matrix, and Neo's final choice to save Trinity as the only morally coherent rejection of the system.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Friday show that delivers one of the biggest election integrity wins of the year. Breaking during the broadcast, the Virginia Supreme Court strikes down the redistricting referendum in a 46-page opinion declaring the process null and void for violating constitutional procedural requirements, vindicating weeks of coverage by CannCon, Ash, and Ghost. Tennessee passes its 9-0 congressional redistricting map as Democrat lawmaker Justin Pearson melts down on the floor. The FBI's investigation of Senate Intelligence Committee Democrats heats up as Kash Patel discovers a buried NSA referral over classified leaks used to smear Tulsi Gabbard during her confirmation. A US trade court issues a narrow block of Trump's 10% global tariffs for two importers, and Trump immediately signals he is pivoting to a third legal authority. Three US Navy destroyers transit the Strait of Hormuz under fire, take out everything with lasers, and Trump calls it a love tap, signaling peace deal progress toward July 4. Wisconsin enters the election investigation queue. The first UFO file batch drops, and Chris Paul delivers a cold-water take on government narrative seeding through evangelical pastors.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open with a week-later review of the WHCA Dinner shooting, including new video, conflicting stories between the DOJ, Secret Service, and the DC US Attorney, and a federal judge privately admonishing prosecutors for grandstanding in a session that somehow ended up on CNN anyway. From there the show covers the coordinated Ron DeSantis media rehabilitation push and what it signals about the 2028 positioning race. Then comes a sharp breakdown of the revelation that the NSA and Cyber Command's election security group has not been activated heading into the 2026 midterms, which the guys connect to Jon's Devolution Part 9 research and the broader question of whether the midterms are even going to happen. Trump's True Social posts on the filibuster, cognitive exams and "three terms," and the UNO wildcards card get analyzed as potential DevoComms. The show closes on a substantive conversation about Tucker Carlson's antichrist comments, Trump's weaponized reverse psychology communication strategy, and the dead Internet theory and how manufactured online engagement shapes reality.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle the 2007 Coen Brothers masterpiece No Country for Old Men, adapted from Cormac McCarthy's novel and starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Woody Harrelson. The guys agree it's a modern American classic, and dig into why a film with such a stripped-down setting and plot manages to carry such enormous philosophical weight. The conversation moves through Sheriff Ed Tom Bell's opening monologue about not wanting to "put his soul at hazard" against an evil he doesn't understand, the nature of psychopathy and whether inherent evil exists, and Anton Chigurh's coin-flipping determinism versus Carla Jean's stark refusal to play his game. They unpack Carson Wells as a coward who depends on the rules of the system, the off-screen death of Llewelyn Moss as a deliberate breaking of storytelling rules, and why Chigurh, not Bell or Moss, is arguably the true protagonist whose arc actually changes. From there they zoom out to the dark night of the soul, systemic evil, why the enemy lost its mandate after World War II, the gas pump sticker meme, and how moral relativism quietly leads good people into advocating for monsters.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Friday discussion show that earns its runtime. Louisiana delays its house primaries after the Calais decision while Rep. Cleo Fields cries that "people have already voted," which is hilarious given the Virginia Democrats argued the opposite in their own Supreme Court hearing. CannCon and Chris dig into the downstream constitutional implications of ungerrymandering, including whether a GOP-dominant state legislature landscape creates the runway to repeal the Seventeenth Amendment, restore state election of senators, and drain money from senate races by taking away the celebrity glamour of running statewide. Trump's whiskey tariff deal with Scotland on behalf of Kentucky opens a conversation about pre-constitutional state sovereignty and whether Trump is optically separating from the British imperial relationship or quietly reasserting it. The fourteenth amendment, the Federal Reserve, and the Creature from Jekyll Island tie it all together. Then CannCon plays the Rosa DeLauro versus Lee Zeldin appropriations hearing where DeLauro claims Zeldin made up Loper Bright, West Virginia v. EPA, and the major questions doctrine. Chris breaks down why this is exactly what institutional delegitimization looks like in real time.

Ric Bucher breaks down a dizzying NBA playoff picture, from the Thunder and Spurs looking like rising Western powers to the Trail Blazers once again appearing trapped behind better-timed contenders. Ric also explains why building around international stars such as Giannis Antetokounmpo may be the safest path for NBA franchises in today's trade-demand era.Then Ric digs into why ring culture has warped how we judge stars like Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Joel Embiid before turning to the Magic-Pistons series, Jalen Duren's sudden passivity, Paolo Banchero's aggression and Cade Cunningham's massive playoff workload. Finally, Ric takes on the LeBron James-Bronny James playoff moment, arguing that while it may be meaningful to the James family, the public celebration ignores how power, access and nepotism shaped the opportunity.Time Stamps: 00:00 Intro + Ric's new book on coachability 02:00 NBA playoff picture feels upside down 02:23 Thunder, Spurs, Blazers and bad timing in the West 03:23 Giannis-to-Portland rumors and international-star loyalty 04:46 Why NBA teams should build around foreign stars 05:38 Ring culture and how we underrate Chris Paul, Westbrook, Harden and Embiid 07:20 Playoff vertigo: Hawks-Knicks, Sixers-Celtics, Magic-Pistons 08:02 Why Magic-Pistons is not a “historic upset” 09:31 Jalen Duren's playoff struggles vs. Orlando 11:28 How Paolo Banchero is changing the series 13:53 Is Duren a true No. 2 on a contender? 15:36 LeBron and Bronny's “historic” playoff moment 18:57 Why Bronny's Lakers role is not like Ken Griffey Jr. and Sr. 20:36 Nepotism, power and Kirk Lacob's Warriors path 23:24 Why Bronny hype went too far after Game 3 25:44 ClosingHashtags: #NBAPlayoffs #LeBronJames #BronnyJames #GiannisAntetokounmpo #JalenDuren #PaoloBanchero #CadeCunningham #OrlandoMagic #DetroitPistons #TrailBlazers #Thunder #Spurs #OnTheBall #RicBucher #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open an already packed Saturday show to breaking news: a gunman breached security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, setting off a chaotic media response. The guys break down the event in real time, analyzing the official story, the shooter's profile, the lax security setup, Trump's immediate press conference pivoting to the ballroom, and why the level of public skepticism this time appears noticeably higher than after Butler. From there, the conversation shifts to the coordinated influencer campaign manufacturing the illusion that everyone has turned on Trump, including a sharp breakdown of how algorithmic consensus and social reputation pressure drive that behavior. Chris Paul unpacks his "western town" controlled opposition metaphor, illustrating how Trump operates outside the circular firing squad entirely. Trump's True Social post tying the SPLC indictment directly to the 2020 election and calling for it to be wiped from the books gets its own segment. The show closes on a substantive exchange about black pilling, hopium, and what realistic expectations actually look like.

It is a slow Friday, so Jon Herold opens the phones and the conversation gets real fast. Trump posted a middle-of-the-night Truth Social calling for the 2020 presidential election to be permanently wiped from the books with no further force or effect, and Jon unpacks why that kind of rhetoric matters even if nobody knows exactly what it means yet. Then the callers come in hot: a wide-ranging discussion on blackpilling, burnout, hopium addiction, and why Chris Paul keeps getting misrepresented by people who cannot sit still long enough to hear a full sentence. A special forces soldier just got arrested for betting on his own Maduro operation on Polymarket, and Jon finds it hard to be outraged when Congress has been doing the same thing forever and walking free. The DOJ also quietly dropped its criminal probe of Jerome Powell, which Jon finds very Tillis-shaped. Plus: the firing squad is officially back as a federal execution method, Todd Blanche made a significant speech at the NRA on embedding second amendment protections into regulatory infrastructure, and Wickoff is heading to Pakistan for Iran talks without Vance, which is apparently a thing now.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Friday that hits on every front. Trump drops a Truth Social post calling the SPLC indictment another Democrat hoax tied to ActBlue and says the 2020 election should be wiped from the books entirely. Chris unpacks why that statement is a deeper level of disclosure than the autopen story and what it signals about where this is all heading. The Virginia redistricting saga continues with Wall Street Journal hand-wringing from Republicans and CNN legal analysis confirming the referendum has real procedural problems, while CannCon lays out the full redistricting math and what it means for the midterms. New Jersey Republican Tom Kean has been missing for over a month with no proof of life and five seats now vacant in the House. The Brian Cole Jr. J6 pipe bomb case gets a terrorism enhancement and WMD charges but his defense team shocks the courtroom by demanding a trial date. CannCon plays his 2022 interview with Bridget Thorne revealing ACLU clerks had personal laptop access to Georgia's entire voter database on election night. Plus, the IRS moves to require nonprofit fiscal sponsorship disclosure, closing a major dark money loophole.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright settle into a new Thursday night 10:30 PM ET time slot with a deep dive into David Cronenberg's 2007 crime drama Eastern Promises, written by Steven Knight and starring Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts, Vincent Cassel, and Armin Mueller-Stahl. The guys unpack why this stoic, brutal character study is more than a mob movie. It's a meditation on moral relativism, the weapons of the enemy, and the blurry line between systems and sovereigns. Along the way, they argue that stories (not facts) are the real terrain of the info war, using Nikolai's undercover FSB operation as a lens for understanding narrative warfare, controlled opposition, and what it really means when you can't verify any of the "real" stories being fed through your screen. They also wander into the Russian Vory code, the Ukrainian oligarch pipeline, Putin's strange bureaucratic war on the criminal underworld, the Donbas trafficking pipeline, and why Nikolai's tattoo ceremony is really a ritual of dehumanization. Plus, a sneak peek at next week's pick: No Country for Old Men.
