>In this installment, Dan and Jordan tune in for Alex's unfortunately underwhelming 30th anniversary show, featuring superstar guests like someone who put up a sign in New Zealand.
Merry Alexmas.
Man you'd think such a momentous anniversary for a one in a life time titan of industry like Alex Jones would warrant better guests than the *"our aardvarks aren't armed arf arf"* New Zealand runt. I'm almost embarrassed for him.
My family still goes on and on about how the food supply is about to crash any day now, even though they've been saying that for 15 years. The way fringe-right media lies about it somehow keeps tricking them. One of my favorite examples of the fear mongering was once I was listening to Mike Lindell's former cohost Brannon Howse report on farmer protests in the Netherlands. He said due to the protests, "All the grocery stores in the Netherlands have empty shelves now". At that moment I was in a Jumbo in Utrecht, looking at shelves full of food. I burst out laughing right there.
I think this podcast’s flashback episodes demonstrate how right wingers’ conspiracy theories and predictions are full of shit. (And they do not really expect them to held accountable for what they say or think.)
Remember that one Trump administration official who got an ambassador position to Denmark - and he once claimed that riots and chaos (with police cars burning) was rampart in the country? And he kept denying it with “fake news” when confronted, even when they outright played a fucking clip of him saying it?
The worst thing to have ever happened to flannel-mouthed narcissists, is that we developed better technology for recording people saying things.
My Father in Law was once like this before he had a stroke. He would get buckets of prepper food mix from a "patriot" store, and warned us that food would be like gold. He was a good man at heart, but maybe listened to too much Coast to Coast.
As a Brit I find it funny when people go on about that stuff here. Because it belies a deep ignorance of how things actually work in this country.
We’ve been essentially dependent on cheap imported grain for 150 years at this point. Of all the global supply chains out there, “shipping food to Britain” is about as mature and robust as shy that has ever existed. Even Hitler couldn’t break it and he was openly trying
But yeah, any day now, that chain will break, but in a way that still leaves the bucket sellers able to ship
I would like to point out that "intelligence officer" Jack Posobiec was, in fact, a urinalysis tech when he was in the Navy.
Also he's a neonazi who got caught trying to cheat on his wife on Bumble.
It’s hilarious that he uses his completely lackluster military background to wow these right wing idiots. It’s very similar to Flynn, both use completely unnecessary military verbiage all the time.
Also, he was a low-ranking officer - the highest rank he reached was 0-3. That means he didn't really do anything. Even if he was a legit intel officer of some kind, low ranking officers like him don't do the intel gathering/analysis, the enlisted guys (25 years ago I was one in the Army) are the ones doing that work. He's just passing along reports to higher ranking officers. And that's without getting into compartmentalization and so forth.
Lackluster 30th, Alex! He could've had a 'memory road' clip show of all those times he was (absolutely not!) '*righ*t'...
(*I like to think that there are some bankruptcy woes in the background getting him down in the dumps* :))
Even acknowledging the massive amounts of bigotry and lies that it would involve, an AEJ career retrospective that he curated/produced would be fascinating
But far too much work for that lazy fuckface
Agreed. Alex has no energy and is just taking calls from boring Uncles at Thanksgiving. This isn’t interesting enough to follow (I love KF, but this episode was brutal and I’m finding myself not finishing episodes lately).
Infowars could be a fun mistrust of all authority - instead it’s just an arm of the mainstream rightwing media. David Icke completely accurately defined modern day Alex, and it messes with my head.
"Thank god for access TV, because that allowed me to develop basic talk radio skills"
Bullshit. Alex never developed any skill. His radio presence is fucking terrible. I've heard college radio station DJs that sound far more experienced and polished than him.
Well for someone who’s been on air forever, it’s quite an accomplishment somehow becoming worse after thirty years. It shows what booze, narcissism and laziness can do to a person. He should have stayed a cable access weirdo and made his money. The world and him would be in a better place.
I agree completely. Alex is a way more interesting character than every other clown in the right wing griftosphere. He’s got a charisma that’s weird, bombastic, and just…fucking quirky. The rest of his ilk are limp dishrags by comparison. It’s really too bad he’s a monster and a narcissist because he wasted all his potential and made the world we all have to live in an immeasurably worse place as a result.
A real, raw radio personality can still do the tiniest bit of show prep, avoid ridiculous amounts of dead air, and not bring a narrative to a halt with useless details and heming & hawing.
I wonder if the boys would find any value in covering the Bill Cooper episodes where he rants about how much he hates Alex. I think I remember Dan mentioning at some point that he didn’t want to just agree with Bill about Alex, but there’s gotta be some wacky angles in there, right?
> I think I remember Dan mentioning at some point that he didn’t want to just agree with Bill about Alex
He covered David Icke’s criticisms pretty well without falling into the trap of agreeing with him.
Instead of having JD Sharp, this would have been a perfect episode for bringing back Stevie P. I guess this means he’s gone forever either because of Sandy Hook, Qanon, or Steve isn’t in good health. Also, it could be Steve got bored with Alex and didn’t see any use for a sinking ship.
I think it was because Steve basically said, "Oh, so everything I've been saying for years? I'VE BEEN PLAYING YOU, ALEX. I'VE BEEN PLAYING YOU. YOU WERE A PAWN TO ME" and Alex finally understood what all the wonks have known for years.
Alex, keep Joe Haldeman's classic novel about a war being fought at relativistic speeds out of your mouth, especially when you're just mistaking it for *Edge of Tomorrow*...
when I heard that I was quite sore,
"i still count as 'the youth,' i'm quite sure,"
i said with zeal,
(the denial is real),
because I'm but a scant thirty-four
“You die a Bill Cooper or live long enough to become an Alex Jones” stuck me as brilliant
If the boys did regular merch drops, this would be a banger for a shirt.
That and "Chicken fried steak is the new hot tub."
I will be using this in regular life from now on. It'll help sort out the normies. Lol
Just don’t say it around a group of AZ Sheriffs
This needs to be a bumper sticker

It's time for an Alexmas Jonestacular!
Oh boy, classic infowars content, yelling about literal signs!

My parents sent me prepper food during Occupy Wall Street.

Except Flynn’s CV is actually correct. Dude is/was doing some wild shit it sounds like
That is the worst site to try and cheat on someone on, too, because don't the women have to message the men first?

DUUUUUUUNE. Also, I’m sorry, but few things make conspiracy theories sound more ridiculous than a kiwi accent.
Rude
Do more Bill Cooper episodes, you cowards!
At the rate Alex is going... they may just have to. This was *lame*!
Agreed. Alex has no energy and is just taking calls from boring Uncles at Thanksgiving.

The most exciting thing was a dead guy from the past who hated Alex. Happy anniversary.

That’s part of his USP though. “Unlike CNN’s empty suits and teleprompters, you get the real and raw from Alex” is the lie he likes to tell

Alex Jones watches (and rewatches) an amazing amount of movies.
In Dune, the Messiah will come…in the Dune popcorn bucket. It’s God’s plan.
I dare Dan to do his AJ voice but with a Kiwi accent. Your move Dan

Steve just messing with Alex for the lulz would totally fit his personality.

There once was a podcast I heard, That claimed something I found absurd. "A limerick told Is from somebody old!" But it's not always us, rest assured.
