Was this a whiskey kind of all-over-the-place or an uppers kind of all-over-the-place? Haven't listened to the episode yet but those are my two bets.

Neither/both in “normal” amounts??? He doesn’t seem much drunker/zippier than average, he’s just saying nonsense.

My favorite pet of the last episode was Alex giving a complicated defense of why he’s taking a trip that’s definitely not a vacation, it’s a secret mission so dangerous and secretive that the deep state might fake his suicide. Sure thing, Alex.

All the “leave me alone. I’m not bad” stuff came off to me as him just channeling how he must have felt in his most recent depositions. Also only a 4-day trip pretty short breaky for Alex so I assume he was just pissed to be there.

The leave me alone stuff is definitely the tension between support of Isreal for racist anti arab stuff and anti semetism.

One other bit I thought was interesting that didn’t make it in the ep is Alex saying he was interviewed by Vivek ramaswamy for some podcast ep coming out. I mean he said it would be out Monday though and I don’t see anything so who knows?

Listened to the episode. I have seen less dancing around a point at a ballet performance. He's absolutely desperate to signal to antisemites and islamophobes equally but doesn't quuuuuiiiiiite want to just come out and say the 14 words.

gently caress off already Alex. Let that coke-fueled rage stroke you've been brewing for decades finally pop in your skull and free us all from your continued presence. The world will be a better place.

How else would he have infiltrated the drug ring at his school that the chief of police and mayor were covering up? This is an actual claim made by Alex Jones.

I have an idea for a 21 Jump Street re-reboot.

He sounded like a guy who dug himself into a hole with a lovely position and just kept digging. He really has no integrity with his beliefs at all, just constantly playing victim.

It also felt like alex had spent precisely zero time thinking about current events or anything other than whether it was margarita o’clock over the past week and sat down cold to do a show and said “i guess i will start with israel. Turn things on.”

He was absolutely just rambling off the top of his head

Alex sounded moderately feverish in his delivery. I noticed he slurred while making lists of things, but that might just be Alex’s brain experiencing latency as it changes operations.

I don't know if it's the right word, but it almost feels manic? The way he keeps circling back around to 'leave me alone' and explaining to 'them' why he talks to them because he respects them unlike the others he vilifies.

This feels correct. Like he tried to come up with an angle but everything he could think of would get him yelled at by some corner of his audience, and he spent so much time imagining hypothetical arguments that now he's mad at all the people he imagined yelling at him.

Alex Jones probably drives around Austin in his Hummer, having incredible arguments in his head with a pink haired person he saw in the dairy aisle at the store. He is a haunted man.

How has no one gotten across to Dan that it's "antisemitic" not "antisemetic" yet?

Jordan gets it right!

Maybe he's just listened to too much Jones and he didn't catch it like "white supremist" (which just goes by without comment at this point)

So update on the Crowder bit. Alex was telling a story yesterday about how he was supposed to host crowder’s show that day but couldn’t cause allegedly he ate some expired lasagna and had violent diarrhea. He was saying this and saying it only just got better to explain why he was hosting his own show still. Sounds like he had an appointment to go to crowder’s studio that he just didn’t want to go to possibly due to being hung over.

He did a couple episodes in what seemed like a trial period not long ago. Looked like they were gonna partner as a way to dodge Infowars legal issues but after a couple shows I don't think anything else came of it.

Honestly, Alex probably learned that the cyber Krugerrands he was being paid in were still reported to the bankruptcy court.

Because he then went to their bathroom after eating a big bowl of spicy chili and blew it out, like I said. They don’t want Alex to come back because he didn’t flush.

I wonder if Crowder's legal team happened to take a look at what was going on IW and told Crowder absolutely not

That's my thinking. Alex is a legend in that grift-o-sphere, but he needs Stephen's younger audience way more than Stephen's network needs present-day Alex.

Yeah but that was the whole premise. They were going to put together a lalapalooza for right wing poo poo heads who got cancelled, but I'm not sure if that materialized. Either a live show or a new channel or something.

Alex is 99% in constantly advertisement mode. His IW show is already just him hawking merch, no matter how tasteless the circumstances. It's a genuine question to me what Alex would even do behind a pay wall, because he is barely capable of doing anything valuable in the first place. You're likely just paying to hear him direct you to Crowder's merch store. (Though there was apparently one clip going around of Alex on this new show still hawking IW/PQPR supplements.)

You’re right and it’s crazy to me to think the paywalled show exists cause I listen to raw Alex all the time and he never plugs his “Mug club show” though in commercials they do still play his like announcement hype video for the initial team-up.

E: This might be adjacent to how he couldn’t have been meaningfully involved in any pre-planned conspiracy about Jan 6 cause he can’t keep anything real secret. If these paywall shows are happening he’d have to spend most of infowars redoing the same poo poo

I would not at all be surprised to find out that Crowder and Jones are just two colossal assholes that absolutely could not work with each other. Them doing anything together would just be an eternal pissing match of two egos pissed off that the other ego wants to do anything except scrape and grovel in supplication to their obvious superiority.

Honestly it's kind of funny that nobody in the KF community really knows whether or not Jones is doing content behind Crowder's paywall because finding out for certain would involve giving Crowder money and gently caress that noise
