I made it to the 5 part Endgame coverage, where I get to learn about the sick violin track that DJ Danarchy remixed. Alex must have a lot of faith that no one will look at the bibliography with lots of <i'll get to it later lol> as sources.

This might be DJ Danarchy's finest work. The Jordan laughs really punctuate some of those clips.

Hypothesis : Alex doesn’t know what the word “context” means that’s why he think a 20 minute clip can be out of context. He just knows it’s what people say when he shows clips of them. He just is cargo culting that.

Not really related in any way, but something that I've noticed listening to episodes around the election is that Alex seems to talk about people being "awake" a lot. I haven't really paid enough attention to categorize what he's talking about whenever he uses that word, but it jumps out in retrospect just because of all the right wing backlash over "wokeness", which he probably traffics in himself. I'm presuming he's mostly on about people being aware of "globalist" plots when he uses it, but I find it funny to imagine people accusing him of being part of the woke mind virus or whatever shitslinging catchphrase is in vogue with the right wing media that day because he keeps talking about people being "awake".

Most of the time he catches it every time.

So I've got two big takeaways from the most recent episode.

1) whatever plausible deniability Alex had when it comes to not being a conscious, self-aware anti-semite is just academically gone.

2) The episode ends with Dan and Jordan having kind of an existential crisis about how they will be able to cover the topic going forward and it's kind of impossible not to agree.

Mark Bankston said it would be a very entertaining year or so to watch Alex and his radio estate circle the drain, but thus far that has been incorrect. Current day Alex really has had the wind taken out of his sails by one thing or another.

It's actually possible that Alex did listen to Knowledge Fight and did figure out a way to counter it; just go all-in on the racism and tramsphobia, while also being super uninteresting about it. Gives his core audience what they want, while also not giving any ammunition to Dan. Dreadfully simple, really.

It is like their original Sandy Hook investigation. True to form, Alex will never give you what you want.

Yes, but that doesn't actually answer my question.

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

It was never officially retired. I think getting more successful made it harder to quantify who would get it. Like, they've got more fans making cool stuff for the show, but they can't ALL be raptor princesses. And then there are the really cool people helping them out by coming onto the show for interviews or discussions, but it seems weird to make a guest a raptor princess. Especially if they're there talking about Sandy Hook.

It's also possible Dan forgot about it for a while and now it's been so long he feels weird about it. The man loves to overthink.

O yeah, now I remember. So less like that jersey has been floated to the rafters never to be used again, and more like the death penalty in a hard blue state.

Meeeeeeeee. It worked for a bit then I came back like an hour later and my app won't play it. It has been working for me on their website. I should probably just download the file from there that would make it easier.

There's the squatch button everyone gets, sneaky snake, little breaky, cool-guy bachelor squatch, cartoon alex standing on a cliff saying "I have risen above my enemies," Grape Job

I think that's it other than the super secret button that only went out to two people. I can't remember for sure what the design was but I think it might have been a golden color "what's your bright spot."

When Dan isn't there as his foil, Jordan turns into a Weekend NPR show host. The Wednesday sneak-snake should now be a chill interview show called "Mic Down with Jordan Holmes".

Yeah, I was really pleased with Jordan's energy here; he still has the caffeinated zeal, but when he's not having to scream impotently at the latest bit of RWM tomfoolery, it makes for an energetic, pleasant interview style.
