Dan is too good of a person to get into it but I am intensely curious about the brawl Alex had with his second wife on Xmas eve. What was that about?

The funniest things about Alex is stuff Dan is too decent to get into. Like the transcripts that came out of Alex flipping out and taking his shirt off when in marital counseling with his first wife

I think his second wife might have hit his daughter. Dan doesn't want to get into it when it's a family thing and doubly so if it involves a minor.

I was literally wondering about this earlier today. I started with the Pt4 depo and have been listening randomly through the backlog, but haven't looked at the Oct-Jan episodes at all.

I'm also curious, but they're right to give it space. My main question was how it might have affected his other reporting and worldviews.

Oh drat, Dan is also a high school dropout? :hfive:

Weirdly, California does its own thing for between the ages of 16-18, when you can get a Certificate of Proficiency instead of a GED. You can also get it earlier than 16 if you're in your second semester of your sophomore year. No idea if anyone has tried to speedrun high school by skipping enough grades to glitch through the floor of public school.

There are a lot of layers as to why this 7 year old post was brought to my attention, so I won't try to explain... But, in case you're somehow still searching, it's "Orchestra Strings 21" from an early Apple Jam Pack (an expansion for GarageBand, Logic and other DAWs.) Based on what I remember from back then, I suspect that the entire string section in that Jam Pack may have come from a bespoke library (or maybe just a less widely distributed library) previous to Apple purchasing the rights to it.

Started listening slightly earlier and assumed they were making some Moon based podcast inside-joke/reference until they actually mentioned the cat a few weeks in.

I'm a lovable meme.

I was thinking for years that it must have been some Alex Jones satanism meme before they brought up the cat. Im guessing the cat just hangs around on Dan's desk a lot and thereby turns it into an altar?

Probably. Chimeras are a big part of end times iconography. Remember when Bush made a point about banning human-animal hybrids in a SOTU?

He's done it more than a few times. The most iconic one for me is when he would wax poetic about seeing "human-fish hybrids in tanks, with sad human eyes."

It was just after this NY Times article, so one of the episodes after April 18. I think they mention Selene in the article, but I'm not giving The new York slimes any money to get past the pay wall to find out.

I blissfully have no awareness of Jones beyond listening to KF so didn't know she was on again. Between that and Russia pulling the trigger I am sorry Dan's not getting a liiiiiittle breakie for him.

They stopped doing Wednesdays de rigueur for Dan's work life balance. The podcast used to be Monday, Wednesday, Friday and in the 1.5 to 3 hour range. I used to get disappointed at an episode that was only one hour long but now I'm happy that Dan gets his time off.

If you go and listen to the back catalogue (which is a great time) and hear where they've come from it's amazing, Dan talking about selling blood plasma just to get by and the like.

The arc they follow getting to know Alex is amazing too, Jordan started from complete ignorance of the man and Dan treated him more like a buffoon. It's a great narrative.

I'm doing a first time listen of the early episodes right now. They're great any time they're doing normal fact checking of Alex's nonsense and it's fun being introduced to all the crazy characters along with Dan & Jordan.

It gets a little frustrating when they dip into Trump stuff. They're so optimistic early on that surely such-and-such crazy thing he did this week is going to bring him down. Actually now that I mention it they're kinda like that with Alex too. Surely Google Ads pulling the plug or this Chobani lawsuit is going to ruin Alex...

I think they've learned a lot about how hard it is to kill a cockroach over the last 5 years.

In the early days they'd do 3-4 episodes a week, they decided to go to 2 a week a couple of years ago for the sake of their brains, with occasional Wacky Wednesdays for Sweary Kerry and other non-Jones content. They've started doing Wednesday Jones episodes more regularly over the last few months but they're all officially bonus/"sneaky snake" releases if something particularly big has happened.

Yeah I assume Dan has to take 8+ hours to do the research for each episode plus the same again for the recording and editing so 3 episodes a week has to feel like a *lot*, especially last year when Jones was getting very samey and depressing.

Speaking of editing - does anyone remember the episode where there's some kind of cockup and they ended up releasing an episode with half an hour or so of off-mic conversation between the two of them?

Megabound
Oct 20, 2012

Yeah, I caught that version of the episode and it was interesting to hear their off air discussion. If I remember if was Dan calling out Jordan for something he said that Dan took as an attack on him and they just had a healthy discussion about it and got on.
