The Michael Knowles Show

Once a Division I starting quarterback, a congressional staffer, and a trainee at UBS, Damon West’s life took a dark turn when addiction pulled him into a world of crime. Eventually becoming a crime boss in Dallas, he was sentenced to life in prison for organized crime—surrounded by gangs, violence, and the consequences of his own choices.

In this episode of Michael &, Michael Knowles sits down with Damon West—now a college professor, internationally recognized speaker, and three-time Wall Street Journal bestselling author—for an unfiltered, no-holds-barred conversation about survival, transformation, and redemption.

Michael Knowles puts comedian Jeff Dye on the hot seat in this wild YES or NO episode! No long explanations, no dodging — just straight YES or NO answers.

From comedy, cancel culture, and dating to faith, masculinity, and the absurd state of the internet, nothing is off limits. Expect bold takes, unexpected answers, and plenty of moments that will have you laughing… and questioning everything.

The rules are simple. The questions are not.

Watch the chaos unfold and decide for yourself — is modern culture a joke… or are we the punchline?
