Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine open the show with classic Altered State banter before diving into a wide range of political and cultural topics. The conversation begins with a breakdown of recent primary elections and President Trump's endorsement success rate, including discussion of controversial races and political scandals. From there, the hosts examine government corruption allegations tied to massive fraud investigations in Minnesota, highlighting testimony from state officials and whistleblower claims surrounding the Feeding Our Future scandal. The episode also explores broader issues like police quotas, questionable DUI arrests, and the challenges of accountability in law enforcement. Later in the show, Brad and Zak shift to geopolitical tensions, discussing the long history of conflict with Iran and Trump's past warnings about the dangers of nuclear enrichment. They debate whether the current situation represents strategic restraint, deep state manipulation, or a broader restructuring of global power dynamics. Along the way, the hosts mix serious political analysis with personal stories, humor, and commentary on everything from sobriety to bizarre cultural stories circulating online.

Adel Nero and Zak Paine dive straight into one of the most heated debates circulating across the America First movement: the backlash surrounding President Trump's actions toward Iran and the growing accusations that the U.S. is sliding toward another global conflict. With plenty of sarcasm and blunt analysis, the hosts push back on the online narrative that Trump has betrayed his base, arguing instead that geopolitical decisions require far more context and patience than social media outrage allows. The conversation explores Trump's track record with military force, the strategic argument for limited strikes against Iranian capabilities, and why many critics may be ignoring the broader diplomatic and regional dynamics at play. Adel and Zak also examine how anti war sentiment is being weaponized to divide the movement itself, and why some influencers may be fueling unnecessary panic. In the second half of the discussion, the focus shifts to domestic politics with a breakdown of the Texas Senate primary battle between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. The hosts analyze the massive spending disparity in the race, the possibility of strategic endorsements, and how political deal making in Washington can conflict with the will of voters. Throughout the episode, Adel and Zak emphasize a central theme: big geopolitical moves and political strategy rarely look simple from the outside, and reacting too quickly to headlines can play directly into the hands of those trying to fracture the movement.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Zak and Matty from The Dream Machine to talk about Fort Perch Rock — the band's third studio album and a record shaped by instinct, friendship and a deep connection to place. Formed in 2021, the band first emerged with their 2022 debut Thank God! It's The Dream Machine, followed by 2024's James Skelly-produced Small Time Monsters. With Fort Perch Rock, they move further into their own identity — self-produced and recorded between studios on the Wirral and in Liverpool. Built with a DIY spirit, Fort Perch Rock leans into creative freedom. Zak and Matty discuss embracing a hands-on production approach, allowing songs to evolve naturally rather than chasing polish for its own sake. The local environment plays a strong role in the record's atmosphere, grounding it in memory, shared experience and the energy of the Wirral and Liverpool music communities. In this conversation, they reflect on their songwriting process — how ideas often begin with a riff or a feeling before being shaped collaboratively. They also talk about balancing nostalgia with originality, making music primarily for themselves rather than trends, and why live performance remains central to how their songs continue to grow and connect with audiences.

In Episode 46 of OnlyLands, hosted by a full-blown menagerie of Badlands Media hosts, the chaos is immediate and relentless. Zak kicks things off with a nightmare roof leak involving solar panels, bankrupt warranties, and a bathroom exhaust vent that was never actually vented. From there, the crew spirals into FDA “allowable maggots,” pigeon-infused cornstarch processing, and whether beard oil might secretly be an aphrodisiac. They dissect Bill Clinton's carefully worded Epstein testimony, debate whether Gavin Newsom's awkward pandering was racist or just condescending, and question why public trust keeps collapsing at every institutional level. There's a deep dive into taxation, borrowing, and Spooner's eternal relevance, plus a detour into marble music machines and spinning-neck guitars. It's equal parts philosophy, comedy, conspiracy, and beard maintenance. As always, nothing is safe — not politicians, not Neanderthals, and definitely not boar bristle brushes.

In Season 4, Episode 18 of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine take on one of the most controversial 9/11 theories: the claim that directed energy weapons were used to bring down the Twin Towers. The hosts examine the origins of the theory, the figures who popularized it, and the specific arguments surrounding dustification, anomalous metal behavior, and eyewitness accounts. Brad and Zak break down the technical claims point by point, discussing physics, structural collapse dynamics, and what the available evidence does — and does not — support. They explore whether certain anomalies require exotic explanations or if more conventional mechanisms sufficiently account for the observed destruction. Throughout the episode, the conversation focuses on discernment and methodological rigor, challenging listeners to separate emotional appeal from scientific analysis. Rather than dismissing questions outright, the hosts scrutinize the theory's internal consistency and evidentiary standards, encouraging critical thinking when evaluating extraordinary claims about 9/11 and advanced weapons technology.

The discussion centers on coordinated investigations, court battles, and headline cycles that they argue are designed not just to prosecute, but to politically isolate and neutralize. Burning Bright and Zak analyze the convergence of judicial rulings, congressional maneuvering, and media framing, questioning whether the volume and timing of developments signal strategic pressure rather than isolated events. They examine how public perception is shaped through repetition, legal complexity, and selective reporting, and debate whether these efforts are backfiring or tightening the vise. Throughout the episode, the hosts frame the moment as a broader test of institutional power, executive authority, and the durability of political movements under sustained attack. The Siege of Donald Trump presents the current landscape not as scattered controversies, but as a unified front in an ongoing battle over control, narrative, and the future direction of American governance.

How do you know when it's time to reinvent yourself creatively? And once you do, how do you remember that through it all, who you are in the best thing about you? This episode was recorded while podcast host and producer, Zak Rosen and I walked around Belle Isle in Detroit talking about creative reinvention, identity, and what it really means to build a life around your values.You'll hear the wind moving through the trees and the ice crunching beneath our feet and sheer creative vulnerability as Zak discusses how he knew it was finally time to shift a long-term project. Zak is the host of the beloved indie podcast Weirdly Hepful and a longtime creative whose path has included multiple reinventions, pivots, and personal awakenings. Together, we explore the emotional side of creativity that rarely gets talked about, especially the danger of tying your self-worth to what you make.We talk about:-Why separating your identity from your work is essential for long-term creative health-The freedom that comes from redefining success on your own terms-Creative reinvention and how to let yourself evolve -What it means to build a creative life instead of chasing external validationListen to Zak's Pod: https://weirdlyhelpful.show/

In Season 4, Episode 17 of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine open with a sharp critique of legacy narratives, revisiting Eric Swalwell's past writings before pivoting into breaking developments in the Florida grand jury investigation tied to John Brennan and the broader “grand conspiracy” surrounding Russiagate. The hosts examine new subpoenas, alleged coordination among former intelligence officials, and what they view as mounting panic within establishment circles, including activity surrounding the Munich Security Conference. The conversation then turns into a wide-ranging retrospective on COVID-19, from Event 201 and vaccine rollouts to hospital protocols, media messaging, and personal experiences with illness and loss. Brad and Zak question official narratives about virus origins, vaccine safety, fertility impacts, and long-term health consequences, while reflecting on how the pandemic reshaped public trust and civil liberties. The episode closes with audience Q&A, discussion of community meetups, support for independent platforms like Rumble Wallet, and a preview of next week's 9/11-focused deep dive.

In Episode 172 of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak Paine dive into the story of Kurt Sonnenfeld, a FEMA videographer sent to Ground Zero in the days following 9/11. Zak lays out evidence challenging the official narrative, including nanothermite findings, World Trade Center 7's freefall collapse, missing black boxes, and reports of pre-positioned government personnel. The conversation centers on what Sonnenfeld claims he witnessed and filmed, including irregularities at the site and missing vault contents beneath the complex. The episode then shifts to Sonnenfeld's personal life, covering the death of his wife shortly after 9/11, the initial murder charges against him, the later dismissal without prejudice, and a subsequent re-indictment based on alleged jailhouse testimony. Jon presses for evidence and consistency throughout, maintaining the show's skeptic-versus-researcher dynamic. The hosts also discuss Sonnenfeld's move to Argentina, the extradition battle, multiple court rulings in his favor, and his eventual political asylum. Ep. 172 explores whether his legal troubles were coincidental—or connected to the footage he refused to hand over.

In Episode 120 of Taking It Back, Zak Paine and Adel Nero break down the cultural backlash surrounding the Super Bowl halftime show and the explosive success of the Turning Point USA counter-programming event, which drew millions of viewers away from the NFL broadcast. The hosts examine what they see as a broader cultural shift, from declining Oscar viewership to mounting pushback against what they describe as anti-American messaging in mainstream entertainment. The conversation then turns to the ongoing Epstein revelations and public frustration over perceived delays in accountability. Zak and Adel address concerns about the DOJ, Pam Bondi, and Todd Blanche, while pointing to recent developments such as the Fulton County raid, global political fallout, and increased child trafficking arrests. They argue that large-scale investigations require strategic timing and caution against emotional reactions that could undermine long-term objectives. It's a wide-ranging discussion on culture, justice, public awakening, and the delicate balance between transparency and strategy in what they frame as a historic turning point.

What at first glance appears to be accidental drownings quickly raises serious questions as the details are examined more closely. The hosts walk through the physical layout of the area, eyewitness accounts, and inconsistencies in the official narratives, including how and where victims were found. As the discussion unfolds, Jon and Zak analyze whether these incidents point to tragic coincidence, gross negligence, or something far more deliberate. They explore the plausibility of foul play, the structural elements of the bridge and surrounding terrain, and why certain explanations simply don't add up. With careful reasoning and pointed skepticism, this episode challenges listeners to reconsider what they think they know about these deaths and whether a larger pattern is being ignored.

On this episode: Play the music and light the lights! Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen are getting crafty and talking Muppets! The Muppet Show is back with a really fun, exciting special. The ‘Rents talk about Miss. Piggy, the musical guests, and we hear from the kids on what they thought. While they're dishing about Kermit and crew, Zak and Elizabeth each share how to make a craft that is perfect for Valentine's Day. The whole family will love this episode! For Zak's craft you'll need an empty toilet paper roll or two, some paint (ideally acrylic but any will work) and then a canvas of some type - t-shirt, piece of paper, anything you want.For Elizabeth's craft you'll need paper, scissors, a stapler (or a paperclip if you're Zak) and a ruler.
