I think if you want a calm relaxed co host in an episode about listening to the most boring stupid poo poo from 6 of the dumbest fuckers alive you are crazy. The show needed someone to be appropriately frustrated at this dogshit.

I genuinely would not have been able to make it through this episode without Jordan's energy. It would've just been a frustrating and miserable experience to hear Alex steamroll everyone on that panel with such dumb bullshit, even by his own standards.

I wish they did a regular non-Alex podcast. Like wacky wednesday, but on a schedule.

Boggles my mind that the team “it was an insurrection” guys don’t laugh out loud when Alex repeatedly talks about going on his 10-minute ‘piss breaks’. I can only assume they were biting their tongues just for the mercy of him being anywhere else for any time.

I think part of the problem is that Alex is ultimately a political commentator, and politics in the US is really loving bleak in 2024. Combine that with his getting back on Twitter and his (so far) successful attempts to forestall payments to the Sandy Hook families and it's all a little bit too much.

It's mainly having to see someone fellate him while repeating his canned lines like "I don't even remember you saying anything about Sandy Hook" that make episodes like this exhausting for me.

As torturous as it is to listen to the crosstalk and Greenwald's smarm, Dan's very consistent in dissecting each point - which is probably why the coverage is more than twice as long as the debate itself. It remains a breakdown of each member's mode of attack, a contextualization of the people and events each member invokes (and why they are, more often than not, wildly stupidly wrong). There is also thorough dissection as to why, even when BEd and Destiny actually manage to level rhetorical headshots against Jones and Greenwald, none of their efforts will result in anything more than red meat for, well, Jones and Greenwald. He praises BEd's/Destiny's path of attack when they are appropriate, but they are far and few between (and given how utterly ineffectual BEd is most of the time, it's honestly fascinating when they actually manage to shut Alex up every once in a while).

And yes, Jordan is going off constantly, but more often than not it's what I myself am screaming when I heard these shitheads talk, so I give it a pass.

Alex should have an implant with exactly one purpose: whenever he attempts to use any transphobic argument in an argument where it has literally no relevance at all, he gets zapped

He would get zapped CONSTANTLY. for this one thing!!!

One of the many reasons that attempting to argue with Alex is fruitless is that, due to him being a paranoid conspiracy theorist that sees patterns where none exist, he can't not constantly shout out whataboutisms and random nonsense whenever there's a line of logic he doesn't want to go down. He did it a lot during the depositions, rambling about the New York Times lying about WMDs and sarcastically asking whether or not the lawyers hero-worshipped Madeline Albright. He doesn't think those are non sequiturs or deflections. He thinks he's making valid points.

Random transphobia comes up a lot because he thinks trans people existing is one of the many avenues of attack the globalists are using to depopulate the planet, which is relevant whenever he's talking about whatever else the globalists are doing, which is every day on his show.

Also yes, I too would like him to have a transphobia shock collar.

He gets a few good shots in over both halves, but any time it's clear he's effectively got Alex in a headlock, Alex starts shouting (especially as he gets drunker over time) and the moderator changes the subject.

I think that was the redeeming value of these episodes (besides Dan giving me more knowledge): seeing someone start trolling Alex and getting under his skin.

Also, thank you to the boys for letting me know that Traitors is back. I watched the first season (and I hate reality tv show competitions) last year and it is so over the top that it should be dumb but I just love Maria/Werewolf so much. Turning that into a reality tv show was a great idea.

Now I have to get a month of peacock to watch it once the season is entirely done.

Glenn started out as a Nazi defender who thought the Iraq War was good, then figured out pretending to care about war crimes and free speech was a good grift and had a huge story literally get handed to him via no work of his own, and since then has slid back to just being openly being a Nazi defender

One of the first times I started paying attention to Alex/KF is during the Texas trial, when Alex was on the stand and brought up Jeffrey Epstein out of absolutely nowhere (I forget what the context even was), and treated it at this great mic drop moment afterwards.

Bankston asked a question about sandy hook, and Alex answered ‘Like Epstein and the Clintons?’ And Bankston said something along the lines of ‘let’s just call that a yes answer.’ And iirc Alex used that clip as proof that the court confirmed the Epstein/Clinton connection. but not Trump/Epstein, who are just coincidentally bff’s

It always makes me lol when Alex reads a headline and instantly says THIS IS JUST LIKE THE MATRIX or one of the like three other movies he’s ever seen. Just zero intellectual curiosity.
