Dan must be deeply disappointed by this, I'm sure he was hoping the podcast endeavor was going to be a nice break from Info Wars

During the original Sandy Hook aftermath investigation, Dan used the phrase "Alex never gives you what you want." It applies just as much here.

Definitely makes the "look I took a little extra time because I wanted it hooked up to all the feeds and satellites" line sound a lot like he was about to do things mostly separate then tied it in with the other shows' resourcesn when it was starting to look hard/amateur.

I am genuinally curious about his claimed artistic ability. Would he have at least some level of talent or is it his usual self-delusion, now we'll never know.

I did it. I have listened to all of Knowledge Fight. My brain has been fried.

I got into the show initially listening to all the Project Camelot eps so I am re-listening to those to take a little breakie.

How long did it take you, out of interest? I went back to the episodes just after the election in 2020 since I thought those would be interesting after listening to a few recent episodes, and even after several weeks of fairly heavy listening to at least one a day, and several a day a good few days while I was playing games, I'm only about a year onward. Checking my Pocketcasts listing I've gone from episode 497 in October 2020 to episode 607 in October 2021. So 110 episodes. Out of 776. Well, along with the dozen or two more recent ones I've listened to, I guess. I think I'm gonna go back and listen to the whole thing, but I'm also probably just gonna catch up from where I started first and then do it. After a little breakie. Probably.

All 776 episodes is...a lot though. Congratulations, you maniac.

The early episodes are worth it, like the first hundred or so. It's a lot lighter and funnier before they really grasp how much of a piece of poo poo Alex is.

Plus you get a lot of fun characters like the soap guy, or finding out what Reagan was up to in his spare time.

Not terribly old, but if you haven't listened to episode 630-633 you should check those out. The first one is titled "No one is mad at the crew" and it's just a bunch of freakouts which I believe led to Dan's newer technocrat drop soundbites with Alex threatening to walk out of the door and never come back.

If it's the one I'm thinking of at least, some guy came on talking about how he had a big secret that he could be killed for and when Alex pressed him to reveal it, it was just "Reagan was gay, and I know because I once saw a tape of him getting pegged at a party in the 70s; or maybe it was the 80s - I'm gonna be vague about details". Which really disappoints Alex, since apparently Reagan being bisexual was a known thing or something? It wasn't scandalous or even particularly interesting either way, and probably hadn't been in 30+ years by the time he talked about it.

Yep. The story is hilarious and Alex is fuming because he thought he had a big story and it's just some bullshit that either even he doesn't believe or he doesn't care.

I was being cheeky in my phrasing but Reagan being bi is one of those known quantities that is just never addressed, like Abraham Lincoln’s sexuality or Nixon’s horn-tipped tail.

Slowly listening through from the beginning, only up to episode #23 from March 2017 but there's a lot of stuff that wasn't really prescient but was kind of

In #23, at about 11 minutes in, AEJ has a rapper that's called in to the show

AEJ: But you know, I've talked to a lot of the top rappers you name it, uh uh uh uh uh
Jordan: "I've talked to a lot of the top rappers?"
Dan: "You name it."
Jordan: "You name it?"
Dan: He says "you name it" when he's like "I can't come up with a lie".
Jordan: Uh uh Q-Tip, has he talked to Q-Tip?
Dan: Probably not.
Jordan: Uh well I mean we gotta ask, has he talked to Kanye?
Dan: Literally the only rapper who I think would talk to Alex and get along with him is uh Vinnie Pazienza aka Ikon the Verbal Hologram
Jordan: Okay.
Dan: Is the rapper in Jedi Mind Tricks
Jordan: Is he one of the top rappers?

I've got a ways to go in this one yet but the story about the guy who sent ricin to Obama was a fun ride.

I was happy to hear Valiant Thor show up, since that's a weird bit of old UFO lore. That bit was extra funny since I also thought "wait is Valiant Thor still around?" Realized that I cooked my brain a little too much with :tinfoil: to be able to remember that offhand. Although Valiant Thor is a hard name to forget.

Valiant Thor is from the space-brother contactee days when aliens all looked like they walked off the set of Mad Men and their hot space-secretaries flirted with you whenever you got beamed up.
