I always worry about Dan having to listen to so much Alex Jones; there are just episodes where I am exhausted from hearing some of the poo poo Alex says, and that's from a curated version of what the episodes are actually like. I've definitely built up a tolerance to some of the toxicity Alex produces, but it can still be a lot at times

So, uh, today's episode is over 4 hours(!) long, and covers Alex's Sandy Hook deposition

teen witch posted:Weirdly off topic, but kinda? Idk: is there a KF or BtB type show for Joe Rogan? Outside of KF/BtB, the only other podcast I know of that's focused on a particular rear end in a top hat is Tuckered Out, which is a Tucker Carlson deep dive podcast (obvs). I don't really listen to it very often though, because I can't stand listening to Carlson for more than a few seconds at a time

nine-gear crow posted:I wish the Knowledge Fight guys would do an episode on that time last year when Alex Jones showed up as the guest of honor on that groady alt-right comic book nerd Friday night panel show. Because it very quickly went wildly, hilariously off script and Jones just started doing an impromptu InfoWars show for a live audience of 8 other bobblehead chuds, and it got so bad that Jeremy "The Quatering" Hambly, the avatar of zero self-awarness, of all people, just up and bailed on the show about 20 minutes into Jones's segment because he alone realized it was a bad look to be seen with Alex Jones mid-Alex Jones-caliber deranged meltdown. I think Dan commented on it in an episode of KF around the time it happened and said that he tried to watched it and was too bored to finish it. If anything else comes that's related to it, then I can see him coming back to it, but he wrote it off pretty quickly. And in other news: https://twitter.com/gotobedjordan/status/1488173859589300227 https://twitter.com/gotobedjordan/status/1488188751729901570

Also, episodes of shows that they guest on (such as QAnon Anonymous, Behind the Bastards, Cognitive Dissonance, Opening Arguments) are good to listen to for recaps of recent-at-the-time-of-recording events as they explain what's happening in the world of Jones to people not quite as in the know as Dan is. Andrew Torrez of OA was also a recent guest on KF (episode 630) when Jordan was on vacation at the end of last year. And if you want to hear Dan and Jordan do stuff not related to Jones, they're occasionally guests on God Awful Movies, a movie podcast focused on making fun of Christian and religious cinema (episodes 293, 305, and 330)

Tree Dude posted:They are some of my favorite GAM guests. The scathing guys sometimes seem a bit too much like they're reading from a script for an entire show (drink every time they say "I wrote in my notes...“) but JorDan brings a lot to each episode and forces them to be a little more casual and in the moment. Oh for sure. The Scathing Atheist and GAM were some of the first podcasts I listened to regularly for years, but like a couple of years ago I got tired of their schtick and stopped listening to everything they do regularly except the Skepticrat (which I turn off in a heartbeat whenever Heath throws out his "you should have voted for Hillary" line) and Citation Needed (which I still listen to regularly because of the CogDis guys). The JorDan episodes did bring me back to GAM as an occasional listener, though. I'm just very picky about the movie/guest now

So between Greg Abbot's announcement about trans kids and this, I imagine Friday's episode is just going to be full of transphobic poo poo from Alex: https://twitter.com/AriDrennen/status/1496595345769320451

Yeah, between Ukraine, Putin, MTG, and Abbot, if they stick to the present, Friday's episode will be hell to listen to. It might be one of the episodes I have to take breaks while listening to make it through it. Even if they do something like go back to the past for Friday, it's only going to be a delaying tactic, there's no way that they can avoid talking about any of that for long

tracecomplete posted:The obvious answer is that he's uncomfortable with the idea of anyone paying attention to them, even if they're generally well-programmed. Dan and Jordan are approachable and funny and they don't code as threatening to white conservatives (at least until you hear them really get going on a particular topic). They have intrinsic credibility if an Alex Jones fan was to find their stuff, and that's bad for him. Yeah, and to add to this, while a lot of KF is about criticising Jones's terrible political ideology, a good chunk of it is also about criticising Jones's behavior as a person and as a supposed news source. An Infowars fan might be able to dismiss Dan calling out Jones's transphobia, but if something like him pointing out Alex never doing anything more than reading the headline of an article before reporting on it sticks, that's a problem for Alex because that can cost him a listener regardless of ideology. I think something else that keeps Jones from targeting Dan and Jordan more is that they aren't doing things like going on TV and doing the media rounds whenever Alex does something that gets media coverage. Jones can't take a soundbite of Dan talking about him on CNN out of context, and he's far too lazy to go through an episode of KF to find something to rag on Dan for

I'm of two minds with Alex, on one hand, he's talked about killing himself so many times that it's definitely performative, otoh, he's said it so much at this point that now that things are coming to roost, I wonder if he actually believes that he would do it now. I think the real measure of if there's any actual threat to it will be how much more often it comes in the next few months as his legal woes progress

This might be beyond the scope of the KF thread and more suited for the Online Creators one, but it sort of involves half of KF and I wouldn't be surprised if it came up on the show at some point, even if only briefly. So the second part of the Lions Led By Donkeys series that Jordan guested on dropped yesterday, and unfortunately it seems like there's a bit of drama to go along with it: the author of the book that Joe used as his only source isn't happy that podcasts have been using his work as a single or uncredited source, and called out the LLBD podcast during a Twitter thread about it: https://twitter.com/brendankoerner/status/1513504339834322951 Jordan ended up replying to him, even though he was only a guest and had no responsibility in gathering research material: https://twitter.com/gotobedjordan/status/1513512669244174338 And friend of the show Robert Evans chimed in with his thoughts on the matter: https://twitter.com/IwriteOK/status/1513587433157263361 This isn't a new problem for podcasts; bigger ones like The Dollop and (I think) Last Podcast on the Left were criticized early on for not crediting sources, and have since adjusted, but I don't know if they communicate with authors in the cases of lesser known subjects where there might only be one or two sources. I don't even necessarily think that they're owed that in every case, but overall I take Robert's view on the subject

There's been so much culture war BS the past few years that it's starting to bleed together if it's not about anything important. Hell, I listened to the free sample of this week's premium episode of the QAA podcast and was reminded that the Monster energy drink lady who said that poo poo about it being from Satan was eight years ago, and that felt like it happened yesterday. "They're TELLING us... that we're drinking DEATH... right on the label!" - Lionel in that clip, probably (I didn't watch it)

Marsupial Ape posted:I’ve been thinking about it, and the best way to gently caress with Jones would be to Gish Gallop him with everything he’s everything he’s ever overshared on air about his past. Nonk, getting molested by the older neighbor girl, his weird dreams, getting termite gassed by his uncle, just all that weird poo poo. Most of it was said when he was visibly drunk, so he probably doesn’t even remember saying it. He’ll think you’re a goddam witch for knowing all that about it. I do find the idea of Dan gaslighting Alex into believing he's a secret Satanist hilarious

Dan and Jordan are the guests on this week's episodes of Behind the Bastards, and today's episode (and probably Thursday's) is basically a recap episode of KF as Dan catches Robert on what's happened with Alex since the last time KF was on BtB, with clips and all. We're getting a full week of KF
