Alex mispronounces a lot of words, we all know that. "Stephen Cohbert" "Ozymandamous" "Suh-TAHR." It's not a shock, it's a symptom of how lazy, careless, and uncurious he is. But "Nick Foyntes" is still absolutely bewildering to me. He lives in motherfucking Texas. I know he's heard that name plenty of times before!

I've started to notice Alex's problem with the letter 'V' and pronouncing it as 'B': Ebil (Evil), Hab (Have), Con-serb-a-tibs (Conservatives)

Articulation errors are totally normal and the child will typically overcome these naturally as they develop. V to b is very common, th to d is very common (da instead of the), L to w is very common (wittle instead of little)

Don’t worry, a little speech therapy and the tot will be fine

What’s that? 50 year old man? Cocaine habit? Falldown barely functional alcoholic?

Pretty often I saw people talking about the v to b thing he does. The way he says "ebidence" is usually the go-to. I never noticed it much myself though until recently. He's either getting worse about it or I just developed an ear for hearing it all the time.

It still isnt something that drives me crazy like it seems to others sometimes but I do hear it now.

I've always assumed that it's just something he picked up from putting on his Limbaugh impersonation for over 20 years and at some point, it stopped being an act. Because I feel like it's so much more pronounced whenever we get an episode about 2000's era Alex that his voice gets on my nerves way more than modern Alex.

It's like when Limbaugh died, Jones thought "Finally, I can fully steal his act!" and just went whole hog on everything Rush was about (being an intentionally dense rear end in a top hat).

He definitely is stealing rush’s close up magic obsession

Rush could make pills disappear like nobody else, and Alex has been hard at work learning how to make something disappear, i am just not sure if it is pills or powder or just whiskey

I can tell some of it comes from his Dallas accent on top of trying to throw on that froggy Rush Limbaugh thing he does.

There's a lot of early Howard Stern style phrasing and vocals patterns in there as well. It's hard to put a finger on it, but it shows up a lot in earlier clips, and sometimes lately when he's all hyped up on "coffee".

Oh, what? So now I suppose you're just going to sit there and pout?
Today's episode has been a really nice reprieve from current events! Alex's "I'm not mad at the crew" and "Maybe you'll never see me again" bits are evergreen.

e: he IS mad at the crew.

I am surprised it wasn’t stated during today’s KF episode but I bet some bad news came down from one of Alex’s many court cases causing the meltdown

Hopefully the bankruptcy

Hopefully the court told him they are gonna start waking him up in the mornings with a bullwhip to the face

The banned dot video upload was also super hosed up for awhile on the 11/1 ep. It might still be. And the Thursday ep was way late in being uploaded so I’m leaning towards legit staffing problems.

:thatsrad:

One thing i have been hopeful about with jones, trump, guiliani et al, is that being in all these court cases at least has to be making all of them have bad emotions a lot of the time

And that is the worst thing i can wish upon someone, to be consumed with the bad emotions and have anxiety and fear and constant worry. It may have bad medical repercussions down the road or not, but it definitely is making their day to day life worse

On the other hand, if it truly was bad news from his lawyers, then I struggle to wonder what more it could be. There was a bankruptcy hearing in two weeks, but it was postponed until the end of the month.

I also have to wonder if his lawyers, fully aware that they're unlikely to get paid from any of this, aren't limiting their involvement in Alex's affairs to the bare necessities only. Given that, what would they feel it prudent to inform him of anything? It's not like he'd listen.

Dan's theory that it is staffing problems following Owen going to prison makes more sense to me for the current moment.

Owen might be a clown but he's still Alex's second in command. With no Owen he's probably having to do more than he wants and Alex is a lazy fat gently caress at the best of times.

I've kind of wanted to do the same thing with Ben Shapiro's True Allegiance novel, but the problem is that beyond its hideous politics, hackneyed characters, and nonsensical story, True Allegiance is littered with grammar/syntax errors, poor sentence structure, and misused punctuation to the point that a page-by-page entry like this could be the only way to properly tear it down.

Alex will never look at the site because he is unwilling to type the eponymous URL. Though, honestly, I still question if Alex is even cognizant of Knowledge Fight. I know that his subordinates do and even reached out, but Alex strikes me as a honorary boomer who has completely siloed his internet experience. Also, he’s loving stupid.

I forgot which host and which show on Alex's network it was but they covered the New York Post article on Knowledge Fight when that happened and it's where the cult of Celine bit comes from. He absolutely knows about KF, that man can't go a day without googling his own name.

As I recall, Jones' legal team tried to call some information into question to get it thrown out on the grounds that Dan was a rando podcaster rather than an expert of their standards. Also, Norm directly referenced them on his podcast as "Knowledge First" and being the reason they had to hire a proxy as corporate representative for Free Speech Systems because the Info Wars employees were incredibly embarrassed about being torn to shreds on the podcast like Rob Dew and Daria.

I think Alex definitely knows, but also doesn't want to drive anyone to detractors that are relatively unknown and not obviously members of the globalist cabal.

e: I think Alex knows how pathetic it would make him look if he were to rant about two goofballs podcasting out Chicago ruining him.
