Getting to the end of the most recent episode, yeah, Nigerian scam emails were also commonly known as 419 scams, because that's the section of Nigerian Criminal Code that covered it.

There were plenty of other similar scams, but if it was claiming to be from Nigeria or requesting things be sent to Nigeria, yeah, it was from Nigeria.

you know i did wonder why that particular number but i figured it was part of the US federal code or something

gently caress me, hearing Alex Jones try to describe/pronounce the Hawaiian Islands was fun. "Wahoo." Scared me for a bit when he told me I live in Kona, perish the thought.

Dan mostly did better, but he's forgotten what okinas do.

If you care about the legal battle, I would recommend the "Formulaic Objections" series of episodes. They're so great.

It's a daunting task but I think the only way to do this podcast after you're bought in is to go back to the start and listen through in between keeping up with current episodes. Taking breaks as needed because that's a lot of Alex, of course.

I’ve thought about updating the list, but nothing milestone worthy has happened. If Alex keeps it up with his Saturnalia stuff, I might keep up with that.

When I did my listen to the whole catalog, i scrolled up and down and randomly clicked download. I listened to it all in no order. I can't imagine listening to the whole Trump campaign and election in order knowing what just happened.

Don't overestimate the amount to which Alex is serious. He doesn't give a poo poo about Trump except as a narrative device pushing his audience forward towards buying more poo poo.

I decided to go back and start listening to alex’s descent into utter barking madness from the end of 2019 through early 2020, and the amount of histrionic end-of-the-world poo poo that alex is saying makes his future “poison shot” routine even more lovely

I think KF is best at teaching the audience about where Jones fits in the alt conservative history and lexicon. So the Bill Cooper eps are a recommend for me.

If this is your first exposure to Pearl, there's two things to know.

First, she's an alt-right outrage grifter similar to Tim Pool, only she's a pick-me girl appealing to misogynists. Being dumb isn't just a thing she does, it's her brand. Her whole deal is to yes and whatever whatever dumb talking point the alpha male of the week is saying about how women should be subservient. Her game plan is largely similar to Pool's; have atrociously bad takes that go viral, get dunked on by the online left, use getting dunked on to boost her own engagement, repeat.

Second, even though being ignorant is her job, she's got negative media literacy. I honestly don't think she realizes that demurring to TradCath values or to the host of whatever podcast she's guesting on that week makes her look completely unhinged when she's not preaching to the choir. Basic follow-up questions completely flummox her, and she's routinely baffled that people do basic opposition research before talking to her. Ethan Klein had her on h3h3 and danced circles around her for three hours, getting her to admit that by her own standards she considers herself a 5 out of 10 and eventually making her ragequit over whether or not slavery was bad (she thinks black people are exaggerating how bad it was, because of course she does). She went on Piers Morgan twice; the first time Ava Santina laughed at her face, the second time she sat there dumbfounded because Piers made her respond to anti-semitic content she didn't think she would ever have to talk about. Tim Pool at least has the sense to never leave his compound and force the people that don't like him to come to him if they want to debate him. Pearl's just head empty about all things.

I've never heard of her before today but having someone who seems to have emerged fully formed from an egg three days ago asking Alex the most basic questions is very fun.

E: I imagine if Alex were interviewed by one of his listeners it'd either be "yeah but Jews" or this lady.

The reappearance of my favorite Alex jones tall tale: the globalists showed me all their plans and then asked me to join and I politely declined and signed an NDA which I completely respect, I only break the NDA after some major event when I can say I saw it coming.

The globalists really wanted my dad to join them, so he found out about all their super secret plans in detail but he didn't join them so I can't tell you about them until next week when I tell you all about them.

It's fun because if you asked him those exact same questions every two months he'd have a wildly different answer each time, he just pretends it's been the same answer all along and he's not just making it all up off the top of his head

Also, he died from Covid related heart issues so Alex Jones may actually talk about him.

As best I can tell, Pearl is smarter than she lets on but dumber than the phrase "she's smarter than she lets on" implies.

Like, she's smart enough to hitch her wagon to Nick Fuentes, but not smart enough to recognize that nothing good can come from giving a softball interview to Alex Jones.

That's every female far-right persona, from lowly content creators like Pearl and Loomer to Sarah Palin and MTG. Smart enough to find a lane and stick to it, dumb enough to be surprised every time they meet someone who finds them repulsive

I doubt she thinks any negatives that association can bring are actually a bad thing, and she probably views them either as positive attention or possibly, like Alex, as reinforcement that she's on the right track because the "system" only attacks the things that are hurting it. If anything, she'd probably have liked more negative outcomes, since I doubt most people even knew it happened and even some people in this thread were presumably as unaware as I was of her and the interview until Dan covered it.

I feel there’s something different with Pearl than MTG, Palin, Candice Owens etc.

Like there’s just a profound emptiness. There is nothing that exists between the ears, it is just endless whooshing and whistling of wind. Not even on an intellectual level, you can be stupid as a sack of rocks and still have personality and vigor, her, it is just a bottomless well.
