#246: April 5-6, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan close out the year with an episode covering the day Alex Jones attempted to lay out all of his rock-solid evidence about how his stories about FEMA camps are totally true. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the result is impressively disappointing.

#245: December 24, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan skip the family festivities and decide to celebrate Christmas Eve with Alex Jones. The gents expected Alex to be getting super religious and weird, but instead they find him admitting to a possible crime, wielding an hatchet on air, and barely talking about Christmas at all. It was a strange holiday for all.

#244: October 5, 2014

E

Today, Dan and Jordan are sent on a time-travel adventure by Policy Wonk George Soros Jr. The gents are sent back to see what Alex Jones' angle was on the 2014 Ebola outbreak, to cover the day after it was reported that there was a confirmed case in Texas. Actually, this episode covers 4 days after that news was reported, since Alex was on vacation at the time, and this is his first day back.

#243: April 1-2, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss what Alex Jones was up to in the beginning of April 2009. As it turns out, he was obsessing about the bathroom habits of Queen Elizabeth and serving as a distributor for corporate propaganda. Also, Alex becomes increasingly worried that the right wing media is starting to steal his act.

#242: December 18-19, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan set out to see how Alex Jones is doing in the aftermath of Roger Stone having to settle a lawsuit about how he lied about a guy on InfoWars. What they found was unsatisfying on that front, but they did find Alex spending a day yelling about Ben Shapiro, and a second day of him being a real dick about a child whose life he disagrees with.

Dec 21, 20182h 7m

#241: Larry Gets Coached

E

Today, Dan and Jordan enjoy a Wacky Wednesday adventure where they revisit the world of Coach Dave, specifically a couple of interviews he did with anti-Clinton propagandist and former Knowledge Fight guest Larry Nichols. The interviews happen around the 2016 election, so they mostly involve Larry saying profoundly dumb stuff and unabashedly advocating for "veterans" and "biker gangs" to intimidate voters at inner city precincts.

#240: March 30-31, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan check in to see what they can learn about what Alex Jones was up to back in 2009. In this installment, the gents find Alex really mad that Obama planned to visit Queen Elizabeth, really mad that he has to let an old man tell limericks on his show to pay the bills, and really mad about Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Dec 17, 20181h 31m

#239: December 12-13, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan check in on Alex Jones' present day show to see how he's responding to troubling storm clouds gathering around his Hero President Trump. It turns out he's descended into into a fantasy world where "Patriots" are talking over the world and the "Globalists" are fighting back with polio. Also, Alex has one of the most severe meltdowns in recent memory because Gavin McInness won't play ball with his attempt to give him a pep talk.

Dec 14, 20181h 56m

#238: Coach Dave

E

Today, Dan and Jordan introduce another possible Wacky Wednesday candidate, suggested by Policy Wonk Ian. This episode covers a man named Coach Dave, someone who may or may not be a coach, but definitely hosts a surreal extremist Christian radio show. Unfortunately, a little exploration reveals that there's a lot more than religion going on in his broadcasts.

Dec 12, 20182h 7m

#237: March 27, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan pick up their exploration of Alex Jones' career back in 2009, and find Alex taking a stand and changing his position about Glenn Beck. He also spends about a third of his show talking to a "doctor," and supporting medical advice that will seriously hurt his audience.

Dec 10, 20181h 26m

#236: December 4-5, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan dig into a couple of present day episodes of The Alex Jones Show to see what he's up to, and what he thinks about all the news about his friends probably doing crimes. It turns out he doesn't talk much about that stuff, but he does spend a lot of time starting a very bizarre crusade against people who are younger than him.

Dec 7, 20182h 12m

#234: March 26, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss an episode from 2009 where they find Alex Jones wiggling his way out of his lies about the "Mandatory Service Bill," and welcoming the president of the John Birch Society onto the show for a very interesting interview.

Dec 3, 20181h 28m

#233: November 28, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan check in to see what Alex Jones is up to in the present day. If you don't have time to listen to this episode, it's mostly about Alex reporting on a meme that Donald Trump retweeted. Really hard-hitting stuff.

Nov 30, 20181h 52m

#232: Reverend Manning

E

Today, Dan and Jordan explore the positions of one of Alex Jones' guests, Reverend James David Manning. What they find is a horrifying melange of insanity, historical ignorance, and very offensive homophobia. Please be advised, some of the stuff he says is very hard to hear.

Nov 28, 20181h 37m

#231: March 24, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan get back to their normal show by chatting about the March 24, 2009 episode of The Alex Jones Show. The gents find Alex completely freaking out (and fake crying) about his made up Mandatory Service Bill, and breaking some bad news about a past guest with a really funny name.

Nov 26, 20181h 16m

#230E: Obama Deception, Part 5

E

Today, Dan and Jordan finish up their look at Alex Jones' 2009 "documentary" The Obama Deception, and are lucky to make it out with their sanity mostly intact.

Nov 23, 20182h 15m

#230D: Obama Deception, Part 4

E

Today, Dan and Jordan enter the home stretch, episode 4 of their coverage of Alex Jones' 2009 "documentary" The Obama Deception. In this installment, we pick up on a cliff-hanger and learn about how insane Ron Paul's brother is, then learn a little bit about Ron's career in the House of Representatives. It's not all Paul family stuff this episode though, there's also some historical revisionism and more made-up quotes.

Nov 22, 20182h 16m

#230C: Obama Deception, Part 3

E

Today, Dan and Jordan enter Part 3 of their coverage of Alex Jones' 2009 "documentary" The Obama Deception. In this installment, we see Alex completely blow it with list-making, misrepresent some history, and make a few decent points for the completely wrong reasons.

Nov 21, 20181h 58m

#230B: Obama Deception, Part 2

E

Today, Dan and Jordan continue their look at Alex Jones' 2009 "documentary" The Obama Deception. In this installment, we meet another hip-hop legend, watch Alex reuse tons of footage from Endgame, and discuss whether or not the Federal Reserve is really private.

Nov 20, 20181h 58m

#230A: Obama Deception, Part 1

E

Today, Dan and Jordan begin an adventure of breaking down Alex Jones' 2009 "documentary" The Obama Deception. In this installment, we get the lay of the land, meet some of the main players in the documentary, and find so many problems that this episode only covers the first 12 minutes of the film.

Nov 19, 20182h 16m

#229: Mars Germans and Moon Leases

E

Today, Dan and Jordan take a break from talking about Alex Jones to check in with the wacky world of Project Camelot, to learn about some high class Space Weirdos. On this installment, the gents meet two men who claim to have spent 20 years each working in space. Their stories are interesting, but their revelations about space laws are game changers.

Nov 14, 20181h 32m

#228: Old Alex Clips

E

Dan is in the middle of preparing the research for the forthcoming Obama Deception documentary coverage, so he needs a real novelty to really get his mind into the show today. Thus, he decides to tell Jordan about some old clips he found of Alex Jones from his public access days in the Clinton era. What the gents end up finding there is at times charming, and at times deeply troubling.

Nov 12, 20181h 11m

#227: March 23, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan continue examining Alex Jones' path through 2009. He's been completely obsessed with dishonestly portraying "the patriots" as being under attack from all sides, and this episode is nothing if not a continuation of that trend. Also, apparently G.I. Joe is "Globalist propaganda."

Nov 9, 20181h 16m

#226: November 7, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss how Alex Jones and Co. are dealing with the results of the 2018 midterm elections. In a shocking turn of events, Ted Nugent accurately assesses that his worldview is unpopular, Alex desperately tries to move product, and Roger Stone swings for the white nationalist fences.

Nov 8, 20181h 19m

#225: November 2, 2018

E

Today, Dan is under the weather, so he cannot handle doing the modern day episode he had prepared to tell Jordan about. Instead, he picks a few of the most important clips from that show and explains to Jordan how Alex Jones has officially abandoned one of his most deeply held principles in the name of supporting Trump's horrific xenophobia.

Nov 5, 201829 min

#224: March 20, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the March 20th, 2009 episode of The Alex Jones Show. On this episode, the gents learn about an attempted martial law takeover of Schenectady, an attempt at outlawing you from having a garden, an attempt to force the population into serving the Department of Defense, and of course, how Alex is wrong about everything.

Nov 2, 20181h 50m

#223: A Progressive Space Diplomat

E

Today, Dan and Jordan take a break from talking about Alex Jones to take a much needed Project Camelot break. On this episode, the gents discuss a difficult interview that Sweary Kerry did with a guy who liberated Mars back in the 1970's. Also, Dan found an album Kerry recorded a few years back, and Jordan thinks it slaps.

Oct 31, 20182h 1m

#222: March 15-19, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan go into the past to see what Alex Jones was up to back in 2009. On this installment, the gents discuss how truth can't really penetrate propaganda, and find an unexpected but ultimately predictable entry point for Alex Jones into the Tea Party.

Oct 29, 20181h 50m

#221: October 24, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan follow up on the last episode and discuss how Alex Jones' narrative about all of his enemies receiving bombs has evolved, and not in a positive way. It's now a false flag the Democrats are doing to themselves, so the gents discuss how dangerous an idea this is, and how troubling it is that so much of the right wing media is on board with him about it.

Oct 26, 20181h 48m

#220: October 23, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the Oct. 23, 2018 episode of the Alex Jones Show. The night before, Alex was out at Trump's very troubling rally in Houston and elsewhere in the country, someone left a bomb in George Soros' mailbox. How would all of this affect Alex's broadcast the next day?

Oct 24, 20181h 27m

#219: March 13, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the March 13, 2009 episode of The Alex Jones Show, where they see hints of what is to come for Alex as the Tea Party rises, and hints of how he came to his distorted view of reality. Also, more importantly, Chuck Norris shows up on the show and provides Alex with an interview that is the definition of "sour grapes."

Oct 22, 20181h 32m

#218: October 17, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan check in on what's going on in the present day with the Alex Jones Show. Turns out the show's not going so well, as Alex spends most of his show rambling about how great a new right-wing meme is, before coming up with about seven clunky nicknames for Beto O'Rourke.

Oct 19, 20181h 27m

#217: Space Liars and Dragon Moths

E

Today, Dan and Jordan take a mid-week break from talking about Alex Jones to discuss an episode of Project Camelot where Sweary Kerry recounts her ninth interview with "definitely not a murderer" Mark Richards. Learn about new alien races, solar observatories, and how collaborative confidence scams work.

Oct 17, 20182h 36m

#216: November 11, 2010

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the Nov. 11, 2010 episode of The Alex Jones Show. On the nights of Nov. 9-10, 2010, Glenn Beck aired a deeply antisemitic two-part "expose" about how George Soros is the "puppet master" pulling the strings of the secret government machine. The gents got to thinking that maybe Alex's response to those broadcasts might tell them a little something. It turns out, it just might speak volumes.

Oct 15, 20181h 18m

#215: March 11-12, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the March 11th and 12th, 2009 episodes of The Alex Jones Show. These are an epic couple days in Occupied Texas, as Alex finally gets around to releasing The Obama Deception (or does he?). As if that wasn't enough, he spends a lot of time explaining how he owns "his women," then receives a mysterious classified document that will become a huge part of his mythology moving forward.

Oct 12, 20182h 16m

#214: Cruel Parallels

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss some curious thematic similarities between the broadcasts Alex Jones did during the Kavanaugh confirmation vote and during the 2016 election. While both were ostensibly about a major political event, each was really about celebrating cruelty and spouting closed-minded nonsense.

Oct 10, 20181h 30m

#213: October 2, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the Oct. 2, 2018 episode of The Alex Jones Show. The gents expected to find Alex running a desperate defense for the Supreme Court nomination of Bret Kavanaugh, but they could not have imagined how insane and idiotic Alex's defense would be.

Oct 4, 20182h 45m

#212: Matrix Schemes and Billions In Liens

E

Today, Dan is still slightly on the mend from being sick, so he and Jordan put off getting back into Alex Jones by taking a little Wednesday Project Camelot break. On this installment, Sweary Kerry interviews a woman who claims that she owns the rights to The Matrix and Terminator franchises. Tune in to learn whether or not that is true, and whether or not she's also psychic (spoiler alert: she is).

Oct 3, 20181h 49m

#211: March 10, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the March 10, 2009 episode of The Alex Jones Show. On this episode, Alex is really, really trying to make his audience excited about the upcoming release of the Obama Deception. Alex also lies a bunch about Canada, and responds surprisingly well to a caller who wants to deny the Holocaust on air.

Sep 28, 20182h 13m

#210: March 9, 2009

E

Today, Dan tells Jordan all about how, on March 9, 2009, Alex Jones decided to take a break from spreading fear about the "Globalists" trying to unleash a bioweapon in order to give his review of the Watchmen movie and to give his support to an abusive cult.

Sep 26, 20181h 26m

#209: Drunk Hotel Interview

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss a recent interview Alex Jones recently engaged in that is, quite frankly, tragic. Between his rambling pronouncements that everyone is to blame for his position in life but himself, his implications that he is waiting for death, his willingness to endanger his family, and his legitimately deranged answers to a word-association game, this glimpse into Alex's mental state walks a razor's edge between hilarious and profoundly sad.

Sep 24, 20183h 2m

#208: March 6-8, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the March 6-8, 2009 episodes of the Alex Jones Show. Alex is coming off the big reveal of his bogus Avian Flu narrative, and that absolutely continues. In these episodes, Alex seems preoccupied with really bad examples of gun people who have been arrested, as well as a deeply over-simplified take on a profoundly tragic piece of American history.

Sep 21, 20181h 21m

#207: Bus Station Photography and The Magic of Zoom

E

Today, Dan and Jordan take their Wednesday break from talking about Alex Jones to break down a new interview from Project Camelot where Sweary Kerry talks to a guy who claims he has photographed cities on the moon. Also, the gents wrestle with some massive Eddie Page related news and fantasy book the next chapter in his story.

Sep 19, 20181h 42m

#206: March 4-5, 2009

E

Today, Dan tells Jordan about a couple days back in 2009 and all the nonsense Alex Jones had to say back then. The gents discuss the sudden arrival of Alex talking about George Soros, and the suspicious circumstances surrounding that. Also, Alex lies a whole bunch about a bioweapon outbreak, and Dan explains exactly where he's getting his information from. Hint: it's not "the mainstream news."

Sep 17, 20181h 55m

#205: September 13, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan check in on what Alex Jones is up to in the present day and find both very expected and very surprising things. On the very expected side, Alex gets super bigoted, then spends a disproportionate amount of his show talking about how he should be more cocky about how good his body is. On the more surprising end, Alex Jones announces that he just sold out his audience to what is embarrassingly probably the highest bidder.

Sep 14, 20182h 15m

#204: Sweary Kerry's Larry

E

Today, Dan and Jordan take their Wednesday Alex Jones break to discuss an episode of Project Camelot where Kerry sits down again with the Racist Pleiadian himself, Eddie Page. This time around, the gents learn about how Eddie has read some books about Ancient Aliens, and trace some troubling connections between Camelot and InfoWars narratives.

Sep 12, 20181h 38m

#203: March 2-4, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan return to their investigation of what Alex Jones was up to in 2009, as the Tea Party began to become ascendant in right wing politics. On this installment, the gents examine the week after the Nationwide Chicago Tea Parties and see if Alex has noticed it yet. Along the way, they learn what sort of people Alex thinks are "legitimate tax researchers."

Sep 10, 20181h 35m

#202: September 4-6, 2018

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the incredibly chaotic couple of days that Alex Jones has lived through. He thought he was going to DC to have some fun, he ended up getting kicked off Twitter, and Dan and Jordan end up arguing about journalism.

Sep 7, 20182h 41m

#201: A New Messiah and The Plunger Toss

E

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss an episode of Project Camelot where Sweary Kerry interviews a guy who claims to have worked for the Department of Defense in a top secret capacity, but seems to want to talk more about his very interesting career in show business.

Sep 5, 20181h 30m

#200: Feb. 25-March 1, 2009

E

Today, Dan and Jordan finally get to the public unveiling of the Tea Party and see what Alex Jones was up to while that was happening. Also, Dan talks a whole lot about the rap music he likes and Jordan does some impressions.

Sep 3, 20182h 46m
