In this episode of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak Paine return to the Montauk Project for what they believe may be the final chapter, weaving together recovered memories, psychic research, time manipulation, and the infamous Philadelphia Experiment. The discussion revisits Preston Nichols' work with electromagnetic phenomena, suppressed memories, and alleged experiments conducted at Camp Hero, including mind control, psychic blocking, and time track manipulation. The conversation expands into the Philadelphia Experiment, detailing claims of naval stealth technology, invisibility, and catastrophic outcomes involving the USS Eldridge. Alongside these theories, Jon and Zak examine the January 3 extraction of Nicolás Maduro, debating whether it constitutes regime change or a negotiated exit, and how it fits into broader geopolitical power shifts. The episode explores competing definitions of regime change, U.S. foreign intervention history, CIA involvement in Latin America, and the implications of surgical military operations versus full-scale war. As always, the discussion blends speculation, historical reference points, and sharp disagreement while pushing deeper into conspiracies that challenge conventional narratives.

Happy 2026 Witches and Warlocks! As part of a fresh start for this fresh new year, we are doing things a little different. We are looking at the most recent season of GA, starting with their epic return to the Haunted Museum. Watch as Zak flexes for women, Billy gets tummy grumbles, and Jay sits in a chair. Join us as we get right to the debauchery as we discuss Ghost Adventures, Season 30, Episode 13: Midnight at the Museum) 

In this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak Paine break down the stunning weekend developments surrounding the reported extraction of Nicolás Maduro and what it signals for U.S. foreign policy, intelligence operations, and the collapse of long-running color revolutions. The hosts analyze President Trump's press conference, the alleged military operation, and the media narrative attempting to frame events as a conventional regime change. The conversation dives deep into the fog of war surrounding Venezuela, the role of intelligence agencies, cartel power structures, and why Maduro's removal appears strategic rather than theatrical. CannCon and Zak also examine Hollywood parallels, information warfare, and why the optics of this operation matter just as much as the mechanics. From the Donro Doctrine to media meltdowns and questions about who truly controls power in Venezuela, this episode connects geopolitical dots while challenging mainstream explanations. As always, Badlands Daily cuts through surface-level narratives to explore what's really unfolding behind the scenes.

In this season-closing episode of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine ring in the New Year with a wide-ranging, high-energy conversation that blends breaking news, cultural commentary, and personal reflection. The episode opens with discussion of the kickoff to America's 250th anniversary celebration, including large-scale projections on the Washington Monument and comparisons to international displays. From there, Brad and Zak dig deeply into the exploding daycare and HHS fraud revelations tied to Minnesota and other states, walking through on-the-ground reporting, shell daycare locations, inflated payouts per child, and the sudden rollout of DOGE-developed verification systems. The conversation highlights whistleblowers, historical reporting on similar fraud schemes, media failures, and the political implications tied to votes, funding, and accountability. Along the way, the hosts react to viral clips, memes, and symbolism, while also sharing lighter moments on fitness goals, sugar reduction, kettlebells, and health habits heading into the new year. The episode closes with reflections on 2025, optimism for 2026, and appreciation for the community as the show hands off to the Badlands New Year's Eve celebration.

CannCon and Zak Paine kick off the final week of the year with a wide-ranging Badlands Daily that cuts straight through the noise. The episode opens with President Trump's calls with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, breaking down the leverage dynamics, the proposed working groups, and why land, elections, and legitimacy remain the central obstacles to ending the Ukraine conflict. The hosts examine how Europe and NATO fit into the equation and why a negotiated resolution terrifies the globalist establishment. From there, the show pivots to explosive revelations out of Minnesota, where massive welfare fraud tied to daycare centers, shell organizations, and political figures continues to unravel. CannCon and Zak connect the dots between campaign finance irregularities, government negligence, and the broader pattern of institutional corruption. The episode also touches on election integrity, DOJ priorities, cultural flashpoints, and the growing public awareness that the official narratives are wearing thin. As 2025 closes, Badlands Daily lays out why the coming year may force long-delayed accountability into the open.

In this Christmas Eve episode of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine dismantle the latest Epstein-related narratives circulating online, breaking down why the newest claims fall apart under even minimal scrutiny. They walk through how recycled accusations, fabricated letters, and conveniently timed “leaks” are being used as psychological operations to prop up failing narratives, while exposing the mechanics behind how misinformation spreads. The conversation expands into a deep dive on government corruption and waste through Rand Paul's Festivus Report, highlighting staggering examples of taxpayer abuse, fraudulent spending, and institutional rot. Brad and Zak also examine broader economic shifts, including tariffs, debt reduction strategies, immigration reforms, and the push to stop financial bleeding at every level of government. From the Federal Reserve and inflation to border enforcement, cartel money laundering, and the long war beneath the surface of American politics, this episode connects the dots between narrative warfare, financial control, and the dismantling of entrenched power structures.

Academy Award nominated and Golden Globe winner Sally Kirkland (Anna, Best of the Best,The Player) passed away earlier this year. She was a beacon of positivity and an avant-garde icon! $2 Late Fee celebrates her in this special bonus episode. In December of 2021, Dustin & Zak interviewed Sally Kirkland about her amazing career on screen. She shared wild stories about some of the movies she's made. But a segment of that interview that blew the dudes minds was reserved for $2 Late Fee's exclusive Patreon series “Two Dollars, Six Questions.” In honor of Sally and her legacy we're releasing that episode to you now in all its unfiltered glory! This conversation is too good to miss! Enjoy! Don't forget to like & subscribe! Listen to Sally's original interview here. Want to hear more segments like this?

In Episode 164 of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak Paine revisit the January 6 pipe bomber narrative, breaking down newly resurfaced claims, recycled media framing, and the continued failure to resolve basic unanswered questions. The hosts examine how familiar fear-based storylines are reintroduced during politically sensitive moments, dissecting inconsistencies in surveillance footage, suspect descriptions, and investigative transparency. The conversation expands into broader information warfare, including how unresolved events are weaponized to reinforce public distrust, justify expanded authority, and distract from institutional accountability. Jon and Zak also explore parallel narratives involving federal agencies, intelligence optics, and media coordination, highlighting patterns that repeat across multiple “unsolved” cases. With their signature mix of skepticism, humor, and methodical analysis, the episode challenges listeners to question why certain stories never reach closure and what purpose perpetual uncertainty serves.

In this December 22 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak Paine walk through the day's most significant political and geopolitical developments, focusing on shifting power dynamics at home and abroad. The discussion moves through Trump-related headlines, foreign policy signaling, and the broader implications of energy, security, and economic strategy. CannCon and Zak examine how institutional narratives continue to fracture, the role of intelligence and media coordination, and what recent actions suggest about upcoming strategic moves. Along the way, they connect current events to longer-term trends shaping global alignment, emphasizing context over reaction and patterns over noise. The episode closes with reflections on where pressure is building next and why understanding timing remains critical as the landscape continues to change.

On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen have been trying to stay on top of the news…but they're getting bogged down and worried about it impacting their kids.

Mary comes in with a win during the college admission process; Lucy almost crashes a birthday party (but she DOESN'T…so it's a win); Zak takes his daughter to roller derby; and Elizabeth says yes to a choral concert.  Podcast production by Cheyna Roth.

In this episode of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine react live to President Trump's “My Fellow Americans” address, breaking down the administration's claimed wins on the border, the economy, energy, tariffs, and national security. The conversation moves into job growth, wage increases, falling prices, prescription drug reform, and the return of manufacturing and blue collar work to American citizens. Brad and Zak also dig into election integrity, voter participation, and why disengagement only benefits corrupt systems, using real world examples of voter roll abuse, clerical fraud, and DOJ actions to clean up registrations nationwide. The episode weaves personal stories, historical parallels, and current events into a broader discussion about civic responsibility, optimism versus cynicism, and maintaining momentum during a critical period of national rebuilding.

For Dr. Zak Kohane, this year's advances in AI weren't abstract. They were personal, practical, and deeply tied to care. After decades studying clinical data and diagnostic uncertainty, he finds himself building his own EHR, reviewing his child's imaging with AI, and re-thinking the balance between incidental and missed findings. Across each story is the same insight: clinicians and machines make mistakes for different reasons — and understanding those differences is essential for safe deployment. In this episode, Zak also highlights where AI is spreading fastest, and why: reimbursement. While dermatology and radiology aren't broadly using AI for interpretation, revenue-cycle optimization is advancing rapidly. Meanwhile, ambient documentation has exploded — not because it increases accuracy or throughput, but because it improves clinician satisfaction in strained systems. Yet the most profound theme, he argues, is values. Models already show implicit preferences: some conservative, some aggressive. And unlike human clinicians, no regulatory framework examines how those preferences form. Zak calls for a new form of oversight that centers patients, recognizes bias, and bridges clinical expertise with technical transparency. Transcript.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine continue their deep examination of MKUltra, recovered memories, and the systems built to discredit survivors of extreme abuse. This episode centers on the creation and purpose of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, breaking down how psychology, academia, and media were used to cast doubt on childhood trauma testimony. Jon and Zak walk through documented cases, survivor accounts, and historical context to explain trauma bonding, memory suppression, and the role of institutions in protecting perpetrators. They connect these patterns to modern information warfare, showing how authority and consensus are used to shape belief and dismiss uncomfortable truths. Episode 163 provides critical context for understanding how reality can be engineered, and why certain stories are labeled “baseless” before they're ever examined.

CannCon and Zak Paine open the week by examining a series of violent incidents and breaking stories that appear disconnected on the surface but reveal deeper narrative manipulation when viewed together. They walk through the attack at Brown University and the Bondi Beach stabbing in Australia, questioning media framing, missing details, and the speed with which political conclusions were pushed. The conversation expands into Ukraine, NATO escalation rhetoric, and Trump's recent statements as Western alliances show signs of strain. CannCon and Zak also break down troubling judicial rulings on immigration-related crimes, DOJ actions tied to election integrity cases, congressional corruption, and the financial machinery surrounding student loans and earmarks. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize discernment, timing, and motive, arguing that the “fog of war” now extends beyond battlefields into media, law, and public perception.

They discuss the importance of knowing that there's not a right or wrong way to navigate the holiday with grief, the unique grieving process that kids go through compared to adults, how to be there for grieving people, and more.  But first, they share their latest triumphs and fails. Zak has the ultimate fail calling out a seven-year-old for wearing shorts during a Michigan winter; Lucy misses a theater event; and Elizabeth successfully moved to Hawaii.  Podcast production by Cheyna Roth.
