Thought Alex loved the nose candy? How can anyone be in to recreational pharmaceuticals and be THAT much of a buzzkill? He acted like the guy people leave parties to avoid.

I feel like Alex only does non-alcohol drugs when he's trying to hang with the cool kids.

Unless you count him taking a too high a dose of most of his supplements every day

While his alcoholism is usually noted, Alex does have a habit for recreational drugs, though not in any way that is entirely unique to him. As Alex is a narcissist, his drug habits likely correlate to the drug habits of other narcissists. From what I've read of the research, narcissism's relationship with substance abuse is largely a thrill-seeking behavior which also correlates with other non-substance-involved behaviors like excessive gambling.

According to Rogan, Alex is addicted to some forms of prescription stimulants. One time Alex was on Rogan's show, Rogan cornered Alex about it, to which Alex responded in an uncharacteristically defensive manner. Dan and Jordan noted it was both an odd thing for Rogan to say and an odd way for Alex to react, but the show's policy is only to approach Alex in his role as a propagandist, and to leave the personal life of him and his likely-suffering family on the side. (Unless, of course, something from his personal life is obviously getting in the way of his professional life.) I don't think it's been brought up again directly since, but I do remember it. The other question to note regarding this is maybe Rogan was actually lying, so even if it would line up with other evidence, you'd still have to worry if Rogan is trustworthy source.

The implied joke regarding the original "a little breakie for me" comes from one of several times when Alex shows up late, throws a low-energy fit, leaves to "start the show over," and comes back 15 minutes later in a suddenly high-energy state. Even for the badly-managed poo poo-show that it is, Alex likely wouldn't be able to handle the workload that running InfoWars requires without some form of chemical assistance. It is, and has always been, an extreme workload that even a "properly run" media org would struggle with. As a point of comparison, Tucker Carlson only needs to manage five hours of content a week, but Alex's radio contracts demand more than three times that much, and on a shoestring budget. (In both what little money Alex spends on the show, and in terms of the poor quality of his working staff.)

And we also know that his supplements aren't of much help to him in this regard, as he has used them on-air multiple times and his reaction to those was... different. Interesting, but different. It's not much of a control group, but his reaction to known abusable substances versus whatever the hell his supplements are suggests the two groups are too un-alike to be considered the same.

So a trailer for Alex's documentary just dropped? The person making it kinda seems like they're angling for the Dinesh D'Souza "I am a censored documentarian" grift market, so it'll presumably be sympathetic to the point of being fawning.

I would honestly love to get a drink with a crazy like Sweary Kerry or a Leo Zigami.

Morroque
Mar 6, 2013
I'm not much of a social drinker, but I can't imagine Kerry as pleasant to be around. My impression of her is that she would only want to talk about aliens, while also getting very passive-aggressive if you say anything about the aliens that is even slightly out-of-line with her byzantine lore. This might just get a limitation of the format, though. Because of the show's editorial policy to only approach what they say in their media and not meddle in their personal lives, I'm in no position to imagine Secret Space Program weirdos in a format that isn't: 1) them talking about their racist-but-in-a-weird-way fan fiction, or 2) making me accomplice to some poorly-executed crime.

Zigami, though, I just have no idea. He's one of the recurring crazies I could never get a handle on one way or the other.
