  • All-Seeing Eyes & Dirty Secrets: Power, Scandal, and the Age of Misinformation
    Dec 22 2025

    In this wide-ranging Burn Notice, Vince and OG Napalm pull the curtain back on power, scandal, and the machinery behind modern chaos. What starts with workplace misconduct and hypocrisy quickly spirals into a deeper conversation about who actually faces consequences and who never does. The episode connects sports scandals, elite protection, and Epstein’s shadow to something even bigger: surveillance, data harvesting, and AI as the next control system. From Palantir and Elon Musk to deepfakes, misinformation, and voter data, the hosts warn that the real danger isn’t what’s loud but what’s hidden in plain sight. It’s a sober reminder that we’re living in a moment future history books won’t soften, and vigilance is no longer optional.

  • When Control Slips: Evangelicals, Grifters, and the Manosphere
    Dec 19 2025

    In this episode of Burn Notice, Vince and OG Napalm pull back the curtain on the chaos behind today’s culture wars. What starts with talk about political hypocrisy and religious moral posturing quickly turns into a deeper breakdown of power, control, and fear. They unpack Mike Johnson’s rise, the performative purity of evangelical politics, and how repression often hides behind loud “family values.” From there, the conversation widens to Trump’s unraveling, grift culture, and why many Republicans are quietly jumping ship. The episode closes by connecting the dots between the manosphere, attacks on DEI, reproductive control, and declining birth rates—arguing this moment isn’t random; it’s reactionary. Bottom line: pay attention. History is watching, and silence is a choice.

  • Entertainment Without Power: The Illusion of Progress
    Dec 17 2025

    In this episode of Burn Notice, Vince and OG Napalm bounce from global violence headlines to America’s favorite distraction—sports—and expose the hypocrisy underneath it all. While the media obsesses over Chicago as a “crime capital,” mass shootings elsewhere barely register. From there, the conversation turns to the NFL and what Vince and Napalm see as a familiar pattern: Black talent celebrated for performance but punished for confidence, voice, and lineage. Using Shedeur Sanders, Deion Sanders, and Colin Kaepernick as examples, they break down how the league still operates like a modern plantation—rewarding silence, punishing resistance, and protecting old power. The takeaway is blunt: this isn’t just sports; it’s culture, control, and who’s allowed to speak.
