Welcome back to Proper True Yarn! Recorded LIVE at AlphaFest, this episode is packed with wild, hilarious and unbelievable crowd yarns. First up, Zak meets a drummer with one of the most cooked highway stories you'll ever hear, involving a dodgy Honda Accord and a very questionable driver. Then Chris shares an incredible survival story after being diagnosed with stage four Burkitt's lymphoma at just 15 years old. Given only 12 to 24 hours to live, he somehow pulled through, beat cancer and is now 25 years cancer free. We also hear a classic old-school motorbike yarn from Townie, before the Novocastrian Nuisance wraps things up with a parenting lesson gone horribly wrong involving hygiene advice, a young fella and a scourer. Funny, shocking, emotional and very Australian, this is AlphaFest Live at its finest.#propertrueyarn

Badlands Daily: 6/8/26 - Pratt Gets Robbed, Trump Walks Out on Welker, Resolute Desk Bugged

CannCon and Zak Paine open the Monday show with California's election count turning into a full display of the machine in operation. Spencer Pratt held a lead of over 20,000 votes on election night in the LA mayoral race, then batch after batch of late mail-in ballots arrived giving Nithya Raman 40% while she had been polling at 23% all week. The statistical probability of that shift is compared to finding a single grain of sand on Earth twelve separate times. CannCon maps out California's full fraud architecture: Smartmatic VSAP machines, motor voter automatic registration of noncitizens, gym memberships as valid voter ID, ballot harvesting with no limit on collectors, and mail-in ballots sent to every registered voter with a seven-day post-election acceptance window. The DOJ has been fighting California in the Ninth Circuit for over a year to audit the voter rolls. Trump calls it a rigged election live in his NBC interview with Kristen Welker, tells her she is either crooked or stupid, and walks out. CannCon plays the full exchange and makes the murder witness analogy: evidence dismissed on procedural grounds is still evidence. Zak and CannCon close by discussing the Resolute Desk bugging theory, noting Trump removed it on day one of his second term.

This is a special one. Adel Nero opens by announcing that June will be the final month of Taking it Back on Thursdays, closing out a show that has been on the air since 2019. From there, he and Zak Paine dive into a news mix that swings from the absurd to the strategically consequential. They open with the New York Democrats officially replacing the words mother and father in custody law with gestating parent and non-gestating parent, then pivot to the DC exorcist who was fired for publicly suggesting UFOs are actually demons. The conversation deepens into a real breakdown of why the GOP Senate is freaking out over Trump's weaponization fund and his appointment of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence. Zak makes the case that Pulte is a Scaramucci style wrecking ball, an outsider with no loyalty to the intel agencies, and his very presence is already torpedoing the FISA reauthorization fight. They close with the California primary and why both guys think a major election integrity reveal may finally be near. Last call vibes, big topics.

Episode 187 is a full call-in show, and the audience brings a lot. Jon Herold and Zak Paine open with the leaked Axios report claiming Trump called Netanyahu "fucking crazy" and told him he'd be in prison without him, plus a pointed takedown of Mark Levin's selective outrage about leaks only when they damage Israel. Max Southwest Patriot calls in with a tightly reasoned theory that the viral tick-box psyop was deliberately seeded to build demand for the Pfizer Lyme disease vaccine, walking through the week-by-week timeline from the first X post to Hannity to RFK Jr., and arguing NGOs are the laundering mechanism behind health scare operations. Rebelnator calls in to ask the question a lot of people are quietly thinking: have the Q drops and devolution framework made the MAGA movement dangerously passive? Jon and Zak give a layered, honest answer rather than a cheerleader response, including a frank acknowledgment that the movement must survive and outgrow Trump himself. Later callers dig into Art Bell's mysterious final broadcast in 2016, the NESARA grift, what the Founders would actually prescribe for fixing the republic, and a firsthand Brown Mountain Lights sighting from a Badlands cofounder who has footage.

CannCon and Zak Paine open a packed Memorial Day Monday with a salute to fallen brothers and a show full of enormous developments. Trump skips Don Junior's wedding to stay at the White House, and instead of an Iran strike, he announces a broad peace memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain. Israel is conspicuously absent from the signatory list and receives only a separate phone call. The neocon wing explodes: Cruz, Graham, Pompeo, and Levin all melt down publicly, and White House spokesman Stephen Chung tells Pompeo on the record that he has no idea what he is talking about and should shut his mouth. Tulsi Gabbard resigns as DNI after her husband Abraham is diagnosed with a rare and fast-moving bone cancer. CannCon and Zak flag that her replacement is a 20-year CIA officer, arriving exactly as the CIA-versus-DNI battle reaches its peak. Catherine Herridge confirms the CIA was tracking every keystroke of Gabbard's DIG team, with an IT work order proving someone requested the surveillance deliberately. Republican senators screamed at Todd Blanche in a closed door meeting over the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund. J6 convictions are vacated. A federal judge dismisses human smuggling charges against Abrego Garcia calling them vindictive prosecution.

Part 3 with world champion fighter Chad Collins — and it's the rawest one yet. Chad walks through his 15-fight winning streak, the WBC world title defence where he split his shin open, and the four-week turnaround for the brutal Petch Panomarung fight in Japan where he won with blood and piss pouring out of his leg. Then the high comes crashing down. Chad gets honest about Miguel Trinidad — the Portuguese striker who idolised him, told him at the weigh-in "I'm gonna beat you bad," and then put Chad down for the first time in his career. He talks through the head-game spiral afterwards, the comeback win in Japan, the 8-man Glory vs Rise tournament, and the rematch with Trinidad that didn't go his way either. Plus the "purple patch / black patch" philosophy from his old man, and why Chad reckons the tide is turning ahead of his next fight on 2 November — round 3 of the 24-man Last Man Standing tournament against Yura. ⚠️ Explicit content.

Adel Nero and Zak Paine are back together on a Thursday with Frankie Val popping in before heading to a wedding. The guys open on a stunning primary night that saw Trump endorsements go 37 for 37, with Cornyn collapsing in Texas the moment Paxton picked up the nod and a long list of establishment names like Crenshaw, Cassidy, Tillis, McConnell, Raffensperger, and Gabe Sterling all on the way out. From there, Zak makes the case that the GOP machine has spent years planting its weakest senators in the reddest states, and that pattern is finally breaking. The bulk of the episode is a layered breakdown of Thomas Massey's fall from principled outsider to opportunistic grifter, his late conversion to the Epstein issue, and why Trump zeroed in on his seat rather than going after Thune. The conversation closes on a sharper take: that the loudest pro-Israel and anti-Israel voices may be feeding off the same outrage budget, designed to fracture MAGA from within. Lots of nuance, very little hand wringing.

Learning in a Way that Actually Matters: Why Standardized Testing Contributed to the Metacrisis – and How to Fix It with Theo Dawson & Zak Stein | RR 25

The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens

Over the past century, standardized testing evolved from a wartime sorting tool into the defining feature of how we measure children's worth and potential, fundamentally altering the mental health and learning outcomes of an entire generation. Now, as global crises mount and our leaders struggle to navigate staggering complexity, a growing number of researchers are asking: what if the root cause of civilizational dysfunction is something as upstream and innately human as the way we educate our children? In this episode, Nate is joined by developmental psychologist Dr. Theo Dawson alongside returning guest and philosopher of education Dr. Zak Stein to explore the history of educational testing and show how we've progressively narrowed our definition of learning while stunting the very mental capacities we most need. Together, they make the case that without restoring the developmental health of the next generation, no amount of policy reform or technological innovation will be sufficient to change humanity's current trajectory. At the core of this argument, they discuss the need to pivot our testing and developmental measurements toward those that foster mental complexity, individual growth, and fundamental human skills, ultimately leveraging change through the entire educational system. Both guests emphasize the central importance of cultivating an "earned sense of competence" – the deep, embodied confidence that comes from learning through genuine engagement with the world – which they believe is the most powerful resource a civilization can regenerate. What are the effects on critical thinking and development as a result of years of memorization and high stakes testing? How might reframing the goals of our educational systems toward cultivating human flourishing help both average citizens and those in power make better decisions for the whole of society? And if education truly shapes everything from geopolitics to economic behavior, what would it require of us to treat the next generation as civilization's most precious resource as we continue to face more societal and ecological turbulence? (Conversation recorded on March 25th, 2026)   About Theo Dawson: Dr. Theo Dawson is the founder and executive director of Lectica, a nonprofit organization that develops evidence-based developmental assessments and builds knowledge about learning and its role in the future of society. She received her master's and PhD from the University of California at Berkeley and is widely published in the field of cognitive developmental psychology.   About Zak Stein: Dr. Zak Stein is a philosopher of education and co-founder of Lectica. He is also co-founder of the Center for World Philosophy and Religion, the Civilization Research Institute, and the Consilience Project. He is the author of dozens of published papers and two books, including Education in a Time Between Worlds.

Acting AG Todd Blanche goes on Maria Bartiromo and confirms there is a ton of evidence the 2020 election was rigged, multiple active investigations in Arizona and Fulton County, and a RICO grand conspiracy case in the Southern District of Florida with hundreds of subpoenas and witnesses. CannCon plays Comey telling embedded FBI employees to "hang on for two and a half years," and Brennan telling CIA and DOJ holdouts that good people are still in place, framing both as dog whistles that are simultaneously generating subpoenable evidence.
