The Narrative Ep. 10: Bread and Circus

Burning Bright welcomes special guest Patrick Gunnels for a deep dive into the spectacle of modern America where politics, entertainment, and the illusion of choice collide. On this Super Bowl night, we unpack the real meaning of "bread and circus" and ask the big question: Are we actually winning, or is this just another well-scripted distraction?

From Trump’s strategic presence at the game to the Doge narrative dismantling USAID, the guys break down the layers of deception, controlled narratives, and why ruthless skepticism is more important than ever. Patrick takes on the myth of judicial legitimacy, exposing how rogue courts are openly defying executive power, while Burning Bright explores the psychological war being waged on the masses through sports, media, and the carefully curated "winning" moments we’re being fed.

Also on deck: Is the awakening real, or just another managed op? Is Doge actually in control, or just the next iteration of the system? And why are establishment freakouts over Trump 2.0 starting to sound like straight-up confessions?

Sundays at 9:00 PM ET

On The Narrative, we leave readings of the Actual to the side and focus exclusively on the effect of Stories from the past, present and future on the Collective American Mind.

Every week, Burning Bright will be joined by a different Info Warrior as they use a combination of cognitive cyphers, game theory and pattern recognition to more effectively navigate the Info War without succumbing to it.

After all, the War is a Story, and the Story is a War.
