In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on the division between Courtland Sutton and the Broncos. Would Sutton be willing to hold out if he and the Broncos cannot come to an agreement on a contract extension? How would the absence of Sutton impact the Broncos win total this season? We look at the Nuggets as they still have one roster spot open. Who would the guys like to see take that spot and is there still a need for a backup point guard like Chris Paul? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen joining the show to discuss the latest on RJ Harvey and many second round picks not having signed a contract yet.

Hosted by Burning Bright and Chris Paul, this episode revisits David Fincher's 2011 film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with fresh eyes and hard questions. The hosts break down the film's grim narrative of elite depravity, ritualistic abuse, and generational corruption, connecting it to real-world stories like Epstein, media psyops, and the weaponization of sexual crimes for cultural engineering. They examine how the film's bleak view of masculinity, its heavy-handed depiction of Nazis, and its graphic scenes of violence and assault blurred the line between storytelling and exploitation. Alongside reflections on Hollywood's complicity and the rise of the “strong female lead” archetype, the conversation veers into how narratives were shaped to seed public demoralization and prime the MeToo era. The hosts also debate whether such stories are cautionary tales or deliberate attempts to normalize the monstrous. As the discussion moves from film critique to cultural analysis, the episode offers a deeper look at how popular media can shape, distort, or reveal uncomfortable truths about the powerful.

The league is SHAKING! From LeBron and his uncertainty in L.A., to Chris Paul hinting at retirement, and Kevin Durant being part of a 7-TEAM blockbuster—this offseason has been insane.

In this marathon edition of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul dissect the week's swirling controversies with their trademark mix of deep analysis and irreverent banter. They start by unraveling the frenzy over the newly released Epstein documents, exploring whether the files are a genuine threat to entrenched power or a sophisticated psyop designed to fracture the MAGA movement. The hosts debate Trump's cryptic statements about Obama creating the Epstein narrative, and consider the morality of blackmail as a tool for control, even if wielded by “good guys.” The discussion then pivots to John Solomon's explosive claim of a decade-long RICO investigation targeting Russiagate conspirators and the entire anti-Trump apparatus. They examine how such a conspiracy case could finally deliver accountability while cautioning listeners not to “stand on the rug” of yet another promised revelation. Along the way, the pair explore the possibility of military government, the philosophical pitfalls of confirmation bias, and whether normies can ever absorb the scale of corruption. The episode is an unfiltered ride through speculation, strategy, and the ongoing quest for truth.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis speaks with Murderbot co-creators Chris and Paul Weitz about the Apple TV+ sci-fi comedy series. Then, filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau stops by to break down his new documentary about the 50th anniversary of the summer blockbuster Jaws. And on The Treat, producer Will Packer reveals the film that gives him hope.

In the final hour, Aniello and Danny discussed if the Nuggets should add Chris Paul to be a backup point guard. Should the Broncos pay Nik Bonitto big money or make him prove it again? The guys gave their thoughts on the Broncos offense and discussed if their experience can help them. Do the guys believe in Bo Nix or do they need to see him do it again this year? 

In this episode, Chris Paul and Ghost dissect the week's most controversial stories, starting with the DOJ's decision to file an antitrust statement of interest against the Trusted News Initiative. They explain how RFK Jr.'s Children's Health Defense lawsuit accuses Big Tech and legacy media of colluding to censor dissent and shut out competitors. The conversation shifts to the FDA's approval of Moderna's Spikevax shot for young children, sparking outrage over continued mandates for a virus the hosts argue was always exaggerated. They dive into the chaos at Elon Musk's X platform, where Grok AI versions 3 and 4 ignited firestorms by spouting antisemitic rants about Israel, prompting CEO Linda Yaccarino's abrupt resignation. With perfect timing, the meltdown coincided with Netanyahu's tense visit to Washington and a flood of speculation about orchestrated psyops. The show also explores how AI censorship works across every topic, from election narratives to health policy, and why Substack and Twitter have become the new fronts for narrative warfare. On the geopolitical side, they break down Trump's move to hand weapons to NATO rather than Ukraine, Israel's internal power struggles, and Europe's hollow nuclear threats. Packed with humor and big-picture analysis, this episode challenges every official storyline.

In this episode of the Big Shot Bob Podcast, Robert Horry, Brandon Harper, and Rob Jenners dive into an array of topics from the NBA Summer League to Deandre Ayton's addition to the Lakers. The crew also discusses Chris Paul's potential final season, Tyrese Halliburton's Achilles injury, and the impact of recent NBA trades and buyouts. They also reflect on Robert Horry's hectic personal schedule, the value of young NBA talents, and the implications of hefty player contracts for team dynamics.

In this episode, Burning Bright and Chris Paul dissect Michael Bay's 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, blending film critique with a deeper exploration of the narratives surrounding the 2012 attack. They examine how the movie subtly undermines the official story, portraying the CIA not as saviors but as the true antagonists, hoarding information, obstructing help, and prioritizing their own cover-up over American lives. The discussion explores whether Ambassador Chris Stevens' death was a tragic accident or a deliberate assassination to bury evidence of weapons transfers and clandestine deals. They break down inconsistencies in the narrative, like the tidy explanation for Stevens' cause of death, the dubious claims of resource shortages, and the suspiciously well-prepared mortars that struck the annex. Through thoughtful analysis, they argue that incompetence is often a convenient cover for malice, and they challenge listeners to follow the trail of contradictions to see where it leads. With references to Hillary Clinton's infamous “What difference at this point does it make?” remark and the CIA's “heroism” awards, this episode pushes past surface-level hero worship to question whether the real story was hidden in plain sight.

Verno and Jacoby recap the latest string of free agency news, including Paolo Banchero's contract extension, where Jonas Valanciunas will play, and more.

In this marathon episode, Jon Herold and Chris Paul pull back the curtain on the spectacle of Washington's latest trillion-dollar spending spree. They break down how Trump's massive funding bill was rushed through with grand promises, only to end up stuffed with pork, lobbyist favors, and half-measures like the single-year defunding of Planned Parenthood. The hosts dissect the performative drama in Congress, including Hakeem Jeffries' record-breaking speech, and question whether Trump plans to claw back spending with impoundment tactics or challenge the system outright. As Elon Musk floats his “America Party,” Jon and Chris debate whether this is genuine or just kayfabe engineered to herd public frustration back into the same corrupt machinery. The conversation stretches into the origins of the two-party monopoly, the futility of voting in a rigged system, and why “representatives” today are little more than corporate salesmen. Packed with historical context, biting humor, and candid skepticism, this episode challenges listeners to rethink everything they've been told about politics, governance, and the illusion of choice.

Burning Bright and Chris Paul dive into Vice, Adam McKay's star-studded portrayal of Dick Cheney, for a sharp, layered discussion about propaganda, controlled opposition, and how narratives are weaponized across decades. They explore how the film cleverly uses the Bush years to smear Trump by proxy, blending truth with cynicism to rebrand neoconservatives as the “good Republicans” liberals can stomach. The hosts dissect the unitary executive theory, the administrative state's grip on power, and why Cheney was never just an outlier but a vessel for the same entrenched system driving perpetual war. From the Iraq invasion's marketing campaign to the hidden hand behind Israel's influence, Chris and Burning Bright examine how McKay's film sidesteps deeper truths in favor of a palatable villain story that leaves the real machine untouched. Along the way, they reflect on their own political awakenings, the legacy of 9/11-era narratives, and the recent echoes of Bush-era rhetoric in the Trump years. Part history lesson, part cultural autopsy, this episode is a reminder that the most effective propaganda is the one that feels true, especially when it flatters the audience's sense of moral superiority.

In this marathon pre–Fourth of July broadcast, CannCon and Chris Paul break down the Senate's passage of Trump's massive “One Big Beautiful Bill,” exploring whether the legislation is a genuine America First achievement or an elaborate setup to expose the unit party. They debate potential moves like line-item vetoes, impoundments, and rescissions, and how these could reshape executive power and funding battles. The hosts also cover the end of USAID as a standalone agency, with foreign aid shifting under the State Department and igniting media panic over “14 million projected deaths.” They tackle Elon Musk's threats to launch the America Party, the political theater around CBS paying Trump a massive settlement, and arguments over free speech after CNN promoted an app tracking ICE agents. Other highlights include John Diddy Combs's partial conviction, Ukraine weapons cuts, and Luhansk's final integration into Russia. The episode wraps with Trump's vow to claw back funding from Ivy League schools pushing transgender athletes, reflections on the Smith-Mundt Act's propaganda legacy, and an epic tangent about the broken two-party system.

Kevin Zimmerman joins Luke and Paul Calvisi to discuss what the Phoenix Suns have done so far in free agency, if Chris Paul could make a return to the Suns, and what the next move would be if Bradley Beal departs from the team.

Bickley and Marotta talk Suns, Diamondbacks, go through Rush Hour Reboot, and we're joined by Doug Haller.

Wolf and Mitch Vareldzis discuss if the Phoenix Suns should bring back free agents Deandre Ayton and Chris Paul and what the worst part about the Arizona Diamondbacks' series against the Miami Marlins was.  

Jon Herold and Chris Paul return for Episode 367 with a sweeping look at how narratives are weaponized and dismantled in real time. The show kicks off with Steve Bannon's declaration that the Iranian nuclear threat is a “MacGuffin”, a plot device meant to drive fear while hiding deeper objectives. The hosts connect this to Trump's strategic communications and Bannon's War Room, unpacking how a network of players including Rich Higgins, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, and Derek Harvey shaped the MAGA movement's media counteroffensive. They pivot to Supreme Court decisions limiting nationwide injunctions, calling it a seismic win against judicial overreach, while questioning why agency power was simultaneously upheld in the FCC tax ruling. Jon and Chris analyze the “Big Beautiful Bill,” suggesting Trump may be publicly supporting it to provoke opposition and trigger a fiscal showdown. The conversation explores the psychological warfare of existential threats, from nuclear panic to climate narratives, and how these fears are engineered to sever society from God. Wrapping up, they dig into the strategy of reverse narrative psychology, the unraveling of neocon influence in Israel, and whether America is on the brink of a deliberate financial reset.

Why would the Mavericks choose D'Angelo Russell over a legend like Chris Paul?” That's the question that kicks off a fiery 5pm Money Hour on The Ben and Skin Show, where Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive deep into the Mavericks' latest offseason moves—and they don't hold back.In this episode, the crew breaks down the Mavericks' expected signing of D'Angelo Russell to a 2-year, $12 million deal. Is it a smart move or a desperate patch until Kyrie returns? Skin offers sharp insight into Russell's value, noting, “He's making a third of what he made last year. That tells you what the market thinks of him.”The conversation takes a turn into the philosophical as they ponder Chris Paul's legacy and why he might prefer hanging with his kids in L.A. over chasing a ring in Dallas. “He's gonna go down with Barkley and Stockton—greats who never got a ring,” Skin reflects.

CP3 back to The Valley? NBA free agency begins on Monday, and the Phoenix Suns have an incomplete, yet interesting roster.

In this marathon Friday broadcast, CannCon and Chris Paul guide listeners through a day packed with monumental Supreme Court decisions and unraveling narratives. The hosts break down the ruling limiting nationwide injunctions, a game-changer for lawfare against Trump, alongside other split decisions on government overreach, Medicaid cuts, and LGBTQ curriculum opt-outs. They dive deep into the spectacle of Trump's Iran strike aftermath, exploring competing intelligence leaks, claims of obliterated centrifuges, and whispers of a pre-negotiated nuclear deal with Iran. The show also dissects the media's meltdown, highlighting how the same outlets pushing the Russia hoax are now spinning the Iran story. CannCon calls out the absurdity of the “12-Day War” branding while Chris compares the entire event to a live-action Top Gun reboot. Later, they expose the tangled web of Biden's autopen authorizations, ponder Big Balls' reappearance at the Social Security Administration, and cheer as Harvard's endowment faces new scrutiny. From Zelensky's dwindling spotlight to North Korea's bizarre mega resort, this episode is a sweeping tour of collapsing institutions, theatrical geopolitics, and the relentless push to reclaim narrative control.

Broadcasting live from the heart of the Dallas Mavericks Draft Party at the American Airlines Center. With the energy of a franchise-altering night buzzing in the background, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “K-Ray” Ray dive into the biggest headlines, hottest takes, and most hilarious moments of the day.The crew breaks down Kyrie Irving's surprising decision to opt out and re-sign for less—freeing up cap space and giving the Mavs a shot at adding key depth. Who should they target with that $5.7M exception? The debate gets heated as names like Chris Paul, Malcolm Brogdon, D'Angelo Russell, and Dennis Schröder get tossed around like hot fries at a Twisted Root Burger joint.But it's not all basketball—this episode takes a wild turn into movie madness as the gang reacts to the New York Times' Top 100 Movies of the 21st Century. From “Whiplash” to “Borat”, “Uncut Gems” to “Up”, the crew's commentary is as unfiltered as it is hilarious.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive deep into the 1995 submarine thriller Crimson Tide, exposing its layered regime propaganda and eerie relevance to current global tensions. Against the backdrop of recent narrative warfare around Iran's nuclear program, the hosts dissect how the film primes audiences to trust government authority, dismiss rebels as threats, and frame preemptive strikes as justified. They explore how Denzel Washington's and Gene Hackman's characters represent competing modes of deference, to protocol versus to power, and how these dynamics mirror today's media, military, and political theaters. With precision and wit, Chris and Bright unpack the manipulation of moral perception, the dangers of uncritical obedience to “expert intel,” and the propaganda value of nuclear threats as a narrative ticking clock. Alongside commentary on Trump's narrative maneuvers, CIA information pipelines, and the spectacle of war as politics by other means, this episode is a compelling study in 5th-gen warfare, on screen and off.

In Episode 138 of Baseless Conspiracies, Zak Paine and Chris Paul peel back the layers on the latest round of fear-based programming, from Trump's Iran strike to the West's obsession with nuclear narratives. They examine how the regime weaponizes information to maintain control, using psychological warfare and manufactured threats to manipulate the public. The hosts explore the spiritual and strategic significance of Trump's silence, the symbolic fallout of kinetic events, and how a crumbling regime doubles down on distraction as their systems unravel. With skepticism and sharp humor, they analyze media responses, dissect inverted narratives, and highlight the telltale signs of a controlled demolition of the old world order. From digital psyops to economic gamesmanship, the conversation challenges listeners to see through the spectacle and embrace discernment in the age of deception. It's an episode that reminds you: when everything's a psyop, knowing who you are might be the most revolutionary act of all.

The gang breaks down the Mavericks' move to extend Daniel Gafford for $54.3 million—and what it really means. Is it a long-term commitment or a trade chip in disguise? Skin unpacks the CBA loophole that makes Gafford immediately trade-eligible, and raises the stakes: “They signed him at the exact most amount of money they could give him and still flip him in a trade immediately.”Gafford, Lively, PJ Washington Jr., and now Cooper Flagg—how deep is too deep? Could Gafford be flipped? Is Drew Holiday still in play? What about Chris Paul?As the crew gears up for live draft coverage at the AAC, they leave listeners with a cliffhanger: “Is this the team the Mavs are running back with—or just the beginning of something bigger?”

In this fiery and introspective episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dives deep into the geopolitical and spiritual implications of President Trump's recent strike on Iranian nuclear sites, and Iran's calculated retaliation. With missiles fired toward U.S. bases in Qatar and Iraq, Jon questions whether we're witnessing a real escalation or a choreographed psyop designed to reshape global power narratives. He breaks down the eerie symmetry to past Trump-era events, including Iran's history of symbolic strikes, and unpacks the explosive New York Times report confirming Iran warned Qatar in advance. This leads into a larger conversation on sovereignty, America First principles, and the danger of MAGA influencers cheering for foreign regime change. Herold wrestles with the tension between trusting Trump and standing against forever wars, ultimately challenging his audience to think critically about what America First really means. With references to Trump's UN speech, Chris Paul's commentary, and a few hard-hitting rants, this episode confronts both the global stakes and personal responsibility in the age of weaponized narrative.

In a bombshell episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul unpack the breaking reports that the United States has bombed Iran, a development met with suspicious silence from both the White House and major media outlets. The hosts examine the optics, timing, and possible motives behind this sudden escalation, raising critical questions about narrative manipulation, regime desperation, and whether we're witnessing a false kinetic event designed to distract and divide. Amid this unfolding chaos, they explore the Supreme Court's continued delay on Trump's presidential immunity ruling, interpreting the silence as part of a broader unraveling of institutional legitimacy. Trump's Truth Social post calling for a special prosecutor to investigate 2020 election fraud is also dissected as a major marker in the information war. From war psyops and media fakery to strategic silence and spiritual discernment, this episode hits hard on every front. Jon and Chris connect the dots between foreign policy, lawfare, and the narrative collapse of a regime running out of options. Buckle up, this isn't just history unfolding, it's the reveal of how the game has been rigged all along.

CannCon and Chris Paul kick off this episode with a bold new Truth Social post from President Trump, doubling down on 2020 election fraud and reigniting debate over the stolen election narrative. They unpack the timing and implications of Trump's message, tying it to the ongoing silence from the Supreme Court on his presidential immunity case and what that delay could signal behind the scenes. The hosts also spotlight stunning congressional testimony from General Paul Nakasone, confirming that the Pentagon used psychological operations against the American public via social media, an admission that validates years of “conspiracy theory” warnings about government-led narrative control. From crumbling war propaganda to emerging signs of internal regime panic, CannCon and Chris expose how the media's grip is slipping and why the information war is intensifying. With sharp commentary, insider analysis, and a clear call for discernment, this episode pulls back the curtain on the real battlefield: the minds of the people.

In this powerful episode of Badlands Story Hour, hosts Chris Paul and Burning Bright dissect Alex Garland's dystopian film Civil War, unpacking its scathing portrayal of journalism and propaganda in the modern era. Far from a simple Trump-coded allegory, the film is interpreted as a brutal takedown of war journalists who act as narrative engineers, observers who provoke conflict and wield stories as weapons. Chris and Burning explore themes of morality, reality creation, and the manipulative power of photojournalism, drawing parallels to modern psyops, narrative warfare, and color revolutions. The conversation veers into philosophical questions about government, kingship, and power, making a compelling case that truth is found not in facts, but in intent. A must-listen for anyone grappling with media trust, narrative manipulation, or the deeper meaning behind today's cultural conflicts.

In Episode 363 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul are joined by Ashe in America for a wide-ranging breakdown of the collapsing regime narrative across legal, media, and political fronts. Ashe opens with a critical update from inside the Lindell v. Coomer trial, revealing how bombshell evidence and legal gamesmanship are being ignored by corporate media. From there, the trio explores Trump's calculated moves in Los Angeles, framing ICE raids and National Guard deployment as part of a broader psychological and informational operation meant to bait and expose the opposition. They connect the dots between crumbling confidence in Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom's legal quagmire, Elon Musk's disruptive positioning, and the public's growing refusal to swallow manufactured outrage. With sharp commentary on lawfare, drops, public perception, and the spiritual undercurrent of the moment, this episode paints a clear picture: the regime's playbook is wearing thin, and the counteroffensive is well underway.
