Morter posted:I don't know if it's a 'fat' thing or a cadence thing but the way he blubbers his 'B's infuriates me, especially back in the day, when he had that lovely concern-troll lilt to his delivery. I am a firm believer that it was 100% intentional on his part, of him trying to mimic Rush Limbaugh. It is so much more prominent back then compared to modern day, despite the fact that he is undeniably in worse shape now than he ever was. And yeah, it drives me crazy too.

Morter posted:I just view Jordan as Dan's vice or support partner. I imagine there's a vicarious outlet via Jordan for Dan. I don't mind Jordan because, while he is annoying, he's also the voice of reality most of the time. Just... the shocked "What the gently caress?"s giving voice to what we're thinking when Dan calmly and clinically explains a clip and the actual context behind what Alex is spewing.

Jordan's babbling is him trying to think out loud, and I kind of let my mind wander when he's doing it. However, I kind of need him to scream and shout and groan over clips. Otherwise, the show would just be listening to right-wing conspiracy bullshit and would be unlistenable to me.

I grew up with a Republican dad so I have listened to a lot of Rush Limbaugh. Alex on the old shows is doing a straight up impression of him. There's no mistaking it.

I think the only real thing that gets me about Jordan's interjections are the moments where it throws Dan off -- where Dan then has to stop to talk him down from whatever edgy, oversimplified diatribe he's led himself down, or to stop him from saying something incendiary he doesn't really mean. There's an animal appeal to him being our Anger Translator(tm), sure, but when he tries to follow it up with an attempted understanding of the issues they're talking about, a lot of times Dan has to 'no, but' him in response. That's where some of the discomfort comes in for me.

Instead of yelling, Jordan should make a withering comparison to a long-forgotten subplot in a Metal Gear Solid game like they do on Chapo.

Froghammer posted:Wait, really? Literally the headline of the Monday jones show is “investigation confirms Elon Musk’s X is censoring infowars in many ways!” Cause his video of the Sunday ep before that got flagged in some way. Admittedly Alex as the show went on mostly talked himself down from the ledge, with chase geyser’s help, of going full anti-Elon. They landed mostly on the idea this was some deep state stay-behind operatives at Twitter doing censorship behind Elon’s back. But Alex was still talking some poo poo like “well musk needs to come on and either tell us he’s fixing this or explain why he’s doing it”.

I'm just halfway through the David Icke episode now, and listening to Icke call Alex essentially a boot-licking toady to Elon and seeing posts here about Alex trying to call Elon out are pretty lol-worthy. I'm guessing he avoids specifically blaming Elon and blaming other people at Twitter?

Randalor posted:... that it's naturally formed in Smurfs and was a key ingredient in Gargamel's potion? I am seeing conflicting things in googling about it, but the one that is being sold on Amazon has tea tree oil, iodine, and peppermint oil as the main ingredients that will actually do anything Those three are fine topical disinfectants in the all natural category but do not have any anti cavity or long lasting effects, they basically will need to be a super high dose to have any real effect immediately And there are colloidal silver and no silver versions of it, which means exactly what you think it does, the silver one is actively bad for you if you ingest it but dupes on the internet think it is a great thing Also every review makes it clear that there is a super weird taste to it that you will need to get used to Shockingly, I would not go with an Alex jones product

So there are some actual "cleaning" components to it (as opposed to poo poo that will actually help protect your teeth long-term, like flouride)? I'm honestly surprised by that, I wouldn't have expected him to put anything other than... I unno, dollar store drywall paste into the bottles.

It’s a loaded yes While it is a product that can be sold on a store shelf and isn’t actively harmful to you like I suspect Alex’s brain force or other supplements, that only goes so far The world of extracts and oils is loaded with substitutions, dilutions, and mislabeling, I would not trust that the quality of the teatree and peppermint oils are super high, and as folks noticed in the early days of the Soylent product, before it actually dealt with quality control, it is super easy to wind up with unintended consequences That all said, Alex probably went to some well meaning hippy small business making a perfectly fine, if generally unremarkable all natural toothpaste and asked them to rebadge the box and tube with his poo poo, maybe even going so far as to ask them to make a silver version Like with all natural deodorant or shampoo, taking out the complicated chemicals that have mixed health results but do a specific thing, like aluminum in deodorant keeping your sweating down, or the fluoride in toothpaste keeping your teeth clean over time, or the sulfates in shampoo that make it foamy means you can either compensate for that with some all natural additive that will jack the cost up, not worry about it, or ignore it. All natural deodorant sometimes means it wears off too soon, and in this case, while it might get your teeth clean, I hope your flossing and mouthwash routine is on point because it won’t have any real duration All that rambling is only from a chemist, not from a toothpaste industry veteran or a user of Alex’s products, so I might be totally wrong about some of this The real fun is in the supplements Alex sells, which are a basically unregulated industry That is where you might get drywall paste and floor spices

Morroque posted:Allow me to offer one possible thing against that interpretation. I'd missed some of this info, and I think you're right. The more I follow up, the more that it has Alex's fingerprints on a lot of the malpractice. Alex obsessing over the one Shroyer deposition was a pretty big sign, too. I've been kind of coasting through recent episodes, but hearing Jones' meltdown over Musk in the latest one is really good. It was cathartic to see Alex sell out his entire worldview and possibly betray his audience, all so he could squeal and scream about how people are being mean to him about Musk.

Jan. 8, 2023 "And if we're sitting here in a month or two, and I'm not hearing impeachment introduced by MTG, and I'm not seeing hearings on Hunter Biden, hearings on Fentanyl, and hearings on COVID, and hearings on Fauci, then I'm gonna go completely ape... I'm gonna go Donkey Kong, King Kong crazy in about 45 days. On Trump."

To think that the only way you might be able to shut people like Jones up is having a dedicated lawyer ready to serve papers the moment they open their mouth about poo poo they've already been sued for. Insane.

Even that "plan" doesn't necessarily work, because Jones figured out he can reduce prospective damages ahead of time by making a non-apology apology video and burying it on some forgotten corner of banned-dot-video that literally no one will find.

Jesus Christ, today's episode has extreme polycule drama energy. Letting Alex back on Twitter, which by now is an extension of Musk's cult of personality, inevitably leads to Jones doing a McCarthyism within said cult of personality and accuse Musk of doing shadowban conspiracy nonsense, which inevitably lead to he-said-she-said-that's-not-what-I-said-why-would-they-say-that-I-said-that bullshit. Combine that with Jones' addictive personality (lmao that he immediately became Twitterbrained the minute he got let back on) and it's all so incredibly pathetic.
