Today, Dan and Jordan enjoy a Wacky Wednesday adventure looking at one of Alex's guests, the enigmatic QAnon enthusiast, Lionel. The gents dig into a cornucopia of old hot takes from Lionel and discuss the path from humor hack to political hack.

#246: April 5-6, 2009

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.

Dec 31, 20182 hr 53 min

#245: December 24, 2018

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

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

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss what Alex Jones was up to in the beginning of April 2009.

Also, Alex becomes increasingly worried that the right wing media is starting to steal his act.

Dec 24, 20181 hr 31 min

#242: December 18-19, 2018

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.

#241: Larry Gets Coached

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

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, 20181 hr 31 min

#239: December 12-13, 2018

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, 20181 hr 56 min

#238: Coach Dave

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, 20182 hr 8 min

#237: March 27, 2009

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.

#236: December 4-5, 2018

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 07, 20182 hr 13 min

#234: March 26, 2009

Dec 03, 20181 hr 29 min

#233: November 28, 2018

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, 20181 hr 52 min

#232: Reverend Manning

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, 20181 hr 38 min

#231: March 24, 2009

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, 20181 hr 17 min

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, 20182 hr 16 min

#230C: Obama Deception, Part 3

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, 20181 hr 59 min

#230B: Obama Deception, Part 2

#230A: Obama Deception, Part 1

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, 20182 hr 17 min

#229: Mars Germans and Moon Leases

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.

Nov 14, 20181 hr 32 min

#228: Old Alex Clips

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, 20181 hr 11 min

#227: March 23, 2009

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 09, 20181 hr 17 min

#226: November 7, 2018

Today, Dan and Jordan discuss how Alex Jones and Co. are dealing with the results of the 2018 midterm elections.

Nov 08, 20181 hr 20 min

#225: November 2, 2018

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 05, 201830 min

#224: March 20, 2009

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 02, 20181 hr 51 min

#223: A Progressive Space Diplomat

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, 20182 hr 2 min

#222: March 15-19, 2009

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, 20181 hr 51 min

#221: October 24, 2018

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.
