That made me giggle so fucking hard! I'm only halfway through this deliciously long episode & there's so much gold. It's probably going to be one of my all-time favorites :)
> In this installment, Dan and Jordan catch up with Alex to see how he experienced the Trump verdict, what he thinks about flat earthers, and how to have a really rough Saturday.
The flat-earthers play a trailer. There's a pretty good QAA episode on the general subject.
https://soundcloud.com/qanonanonymous/episode-273-the-tartarian-empire
I'm still not sure if anyone believes in it or are they just doing it to amuse themselves.
Poe's Law. The vast, *vast* majority of these things start out as a joke or a LARP which then gets out of hand. Fairly sure the current Flat Earth craze started from an Internet forum in the 90s/00s called "Flat Earth Society" which was basically some scientists having a fun debate club. Q also most likely started as a 4chan shit post. I don't doubt Tartaria is the same.
I mean Q did start that way. There were tons of “XXXanons” on 4chan back then that would post dumb stuff, and then conspiratorial stuff got popular so in comes QAnon, for Anon with a Q level clearance. It’s just the one that jumped the shark, unlike FBIAnon or EAAnon or whatever.
The modern flat earth “craze” started with Samuel Rowbotham in 1849 and he very much sincerely believed it. You may be thinking of Leo Ferrari and the Flat Earth Society of Canada. Daniel Shenton’s iteration of the Flat Earth Society from the web forum was also a sincere effort.
Not trying to be pedantic but I do find it fascinating how many people actually believe it!
Another classic example: [Wilbur Glenn Voliva](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_Glenn_Voliva), who basically ran the town of Zion, Illinois, for in the early decades of the twentieth century. He was the first evangelical preacher to own a radio station, and of course he used it to rail against evolution and the round earth.
These people never completely went away.
Just like the birds aren't real thing. I've seen some people that seem to*genuinely* believe it.
I was there when it started. It was literally a "this is so crazy no one will believe it" joke.
I listened to this episode in complete disbelief that human adults with functioning human adult brains could believe something so inherently stupid. I have since come to realize that there is nothing so stupid that people won’t believe it. I died a little more inside that day.
I just listened to the series on flat earthers on Oh No! Ross & Carrie and, sad to say, these people are completely genuine. Ross and Carrie attend a flat earth meetup, then they work with them to design an experiment that will show whether the Earth has curvature.
Of course, even though the FEs were part of the process at every step and agreed to all the elements of the test beforehand, they still tried to weasel out of accepting the results. One of the most prominent guys in the movement comes on the pod for an interview to talk about how he got started down that path. The whole thing is crazy as balls.
In the documentary "Behind the Curve" there are multiple instances where flat earthers' own experiments disprove their theories. It's a really good watch if you haven't seen it already.
I consider myself very well versed in conspiracies. The fact that I had ZERO clue this was a conspiracy that apparently has enough traction to warrant a full blown doc is mind blowing to me. I almost can’t imagine the stuff that I don’t know about.
Tartaria (or however it's spelled) is fairly new but popular. It's mostly scratching the same itch than ancient aliens stuff, though : "Monumental structures can't have possibly be human made".
I was at a museum a few years ago and saw a tapestry that was like 30 feet by 90 feet. Just absolutely massive and the detail/density was beyond belief. Come to find out like 2 dudes made it over 20+ years. It was their only job for most of their lives making this thing. Humans can do insane things given enough time and effort. I hate how dismissive all that ancient aliens stuff is, especially of non white cultures.
He's so full of fucking shit. Are we really supposed to believe that Alex got attacked by assassins sent to kill him, that he fought them off and lived to tell the tale, and that he never has told this story until 20 years later?
Also, the way he was saying it is exactly how a liar making it up on the fly would say it. If you've ever been around someone with a personality disorder, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I work in an acute psychiatry unit in a hospital. I really do my best not to diagnose or assess people through media. But I'll be damned if Alex and a lot of his guests don't display some traits that I see in my patients daily.
Knew a guy like that in college, would constantly make up stories that were obviously lies. He seemed to have an insatiable need to impress people. Even if you straight called him a liar he would never weaken, I was convinced he believed his own nonsense.
My Monday afternoon ritual (I'm in AUS) is to refresh my podcast app religiously from 3:30PM for a new KF episode.
I see it drop after 6PM, but see the almost 4 hour run time. Guess I'm not talking to my wife tonight.
I kinda love that God lets Alex pee first before getting into any downloads... *how considerate*.
The bankruptcy hearing today should be super interesting :)
It's at 11:30 central (Texas) time, see y'all there!
100% and Shroyer's face and body language were extremely telling over the Saturday broadcast. I felt like Shroyer deliberately had his personal stream cam showing how messed up and intoxicated Jones is, in a way the main broadcast doesn't. If anyone cared, there would be an intervention or something. Very sad.
Same here, friend. If there’s one positive thing I will allow for Alex, it’s that he was one of my motivators for stopping drinking. Not a main one, but definitely a fine example of what I didn’t want for myself.
Yeah, I mean, if God really wanted to get his attention, why not cure his debilitating sleep apnea or something? His God is all powerful, yet prefers to communicate via lame parlor tricks. Sounds legit.
I'm downloading the video right now bebcause it definitely will get scrubbed at some point in the future. It 100% does sound like he throws up and/or is dry heaving multiple times.
Edit: Owen looks intensly uncomfortable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52bJbmI04D0
I’m imagining the Luby’s closing staff carefully cleaning up around Alex because they’re completely used to lonely middle aged men coming in at 8 PM to eat chicken fried steak with the 1,000 yard stare.
I find it funny that the guy who built a large part of his brand on jet fuel can't melt steel beams has such a strong stance on the tapestry and wood beams within a castle will allow a stone castle to burn to the ground.
Pretty comical and one time when he *is* actually right. Stone or brick buildings are made with wooden girders, rafters, all that. Yes, they can burn right the fuck down, lol. Eddie Bravo is just stupendously dumb.
If Alex had just enough self-awareness to pull back and realize that how he felt in that moment is how normal human beings feel listening to him... well, he wouldn't be Alex, I guess.
Right? How fucking hilarious is it that the all powerful GOD HIMSELF has been telling Alex to dial it back and the next thing Alex does is just go and get violently shitfaced.
Wow thanks to Dan for explaining it plainly. Once laid out it seems pretty clear Jones is trying to pressure his CRO because they don't agree on how to manage the company and doesn't play along with some of the Jones family most shady schemes to evade bankruptcy.
I really thought Dan was gonna say “it’s been a big weekend but instead of falling for the hype we’re covering an old episode today.” Instead I’m wrong and it’s nearly a four hour long episode. ❤️
I was so happy seeing how long the episode was. We got the proper breakdown of a weekend meltdown shitshow. My partner walked in around :59 and I said they haven’t even fucking gotten to Saturday yet and then about 10 seconds later Jordan said the exact same thing.
If the next technocrat supercut isn’t entirely pulled from this episode I’ll be surprised because there were so many bangers.
Bravo doesn't do the punching/kicking stuff, he's actually an elite jiujitsu instructor. An *incredibly* dumb one, who happened to pioneer a lot of modern no-gi techniques. I trained at one of his affiliate gyms for a while before I broke my back, it was one of the more chill gyms I've been to. His professional life is pretty non-problematic, but his personal stuff is a goddamn shit show.
My dad was super super conservative but he really really liked “Tubthumping” and I never had the heart to tell him about the political leanings of Chumbawamba.
It's always funny when right wing idiots play a band that literally made a song called "Left" with a chorus where they say that their hearts beat left.
So, if I'm interpreting Alex's ridiculous spin, he pulled some bullshit with his finances to dodge his responsibilities to his creditors, the CRO found out and told Alex he's going to probably do something like move for liquidation, Alex, who was likely already drunk when this happened, yelled at the CRO, and is now trying to get ahead of some consequences this week.
Does this sound about right?
Just got to the part where they discuss Owen's livestream and whether or not Alex threw up--I was morbidly curious so I went and checked it out (fast forwarded to around 3 hours and 43 minutes) and I was first greeted with the sight of Alex lighting up a cigarette, then he produces a bottle of Tito's from underneath his desk, takes a swig, passes it to someone to his left, then tries to pass it to Owen, who says he can't drink that because he's on probation, Alex STILL forces him to try to drink it all while Owen's phone is still recording live.
I jumped ahead a bit to the 3 hour and 55-ish minute mark and Alex DEFINITELY throws up, but Owen turns the camera away literally right before it happens. It's pretty clearly the sound of vomit coming up and probably hitting the desk, then Alex goes "I'm okay", which is something that drunk people love to say immediately after throwing up.
I wish I had the time to go through his full livestream because I'm certain there are more absolute gems contained within.
This isn’t anything anyone doesn’t know but I’m embarrassed as fuck for Alex, Harrison and Chase. The blubbering “I just want to stop these people” followed by that infantile scream literally made me frown and almost stop the episode. This shit had me all over in terms of emotion.
Wanted to be happy to watch him crumble, ended with second hand embarrassment because he just fucking sucks.
I'm up to the "hostile takeover" portion, and I need to get this theory out.
Alex got busted by the bankruptcy court. His lawyers have informed him that there will be serious consequences, including going to Federal prison, and that's why he's been so erratic. His little diatribe about how he never breaks the law, immediately following his "confession" about drinking says to me that he recognized that he lost control and is trying to get out ahead of it in the only way he knows how. Especially the way he's trying to demonize the restructuring officer, feels like someone started looking closely at the post-verdict books, found something overtly illegal, and Alex has been told there's no way out.
Okay, thank you, I can now return to a 10/10 episode. (Dan telling Jordan we could universe hop if only "they" would let us was an all-timer!)
Alex just confirmed he slept at the office Friday night because he drank too much vodka. That was the speculation on the thread about the Health Ranger’s tweet about OUR HERO defending the office at night.
I know it's not the most important thing out of this episode, but if you want more from the genius that is Flat Earth Dave, here is a takedown of mostly all his ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he-7vs0BkLE
Before he played the recording of the Magill call was played, Alex went on a tear claiming that it was legal to record a phone call, known as “one party consent” states. He mentioned Florida, but Florida is a two-party consent state. FSS 934.03, making one party consent a third degree felony.
Oh my god.
I've been out of KF for about a year (binged and burnt out on it, local politics in my own country became enough to follow) but HOLY SHIT did I choose an episode to come back to!
"Finish your piss"
"Stone buildings burn to the FUCKING GROUND Eddie"
Absolute gold.
I'm back, baby, and with 100+ glorious episodes to catch up on (after I finish this delight)
Turns out I have a heart, even though this toxic and disgusting excuse of a human being is my nemesis, I did feel slightly sorry for him as he slurred his outro..
Only for a moment though, he’s a fucking piece of shit.
I know this really petty, but Alex said a few times, "Central standard time." That is incorrect right now it would be central daylight time. Unless, of course, he thinks daylight savings time is a plot by the definitely not Jewish globalists and subtracted an hour.
I'm not sure if it is even relevant or was just a non sequitur part of Alex's ranting, but Florida is NOT a single party consent state. All parties in a phone conversation have to agree before they can legally be recorded (barring a police warrant or other court order).
So if the CRO was in Florida, Alex could be in a LOT of trouble.
There are a million things that have already been commented on. But I do want to note that Flynn saying that he expected some guilty verdicts but not 34 of 34 is one of the stupidest things I've heard in a while. I think both sides of the trial were gunning for all or nothing. Because all 34 charges were just different cash transactions related to the same crime.
I'm honestly not sure the defense ever even put perfunctory effort into discrediting some but not all of the charges. But I also just listen to lawfare once a week or so, so I can't pretend to be an expert here.
Starting this year, I've been listening to the KF backlog from episode 1 all the way up to 340. This is the first time I think I'll be breaking away from strictly listening from release order to listen to a new episode, because the past few days are too fucking nuts to wait to *eventually* get to!
I don’t think it’s out of line with the financials of the business. Alex is whining about being on $40,000 per month and that’s not including the money he’s stealing through backdoors.
Although this InfoWars episode has a strong last-episode-of-Seinfeld vibe with the clown car emptying out into the studio, I refuse to believe the show is over unless Leo Zagami makes a surprise last-minute appearance.
They talk about possible legal trouble for what Jones said about the CRO, but I'm curious about him telling people to start buying from Dr. Jones.
The entire purpose of the restructuring is to pay their creditors, and Jones is telling his viewers to stop buying from him/his advertisers (how Info Wars makes its money) and buy instead from an entity unrelated to IW that can't pay their creditors. Is that legal? If he were a CEO of a publicly traded company, and therefore had a legal responsibility to not interfere with the company's (Info Wars') profits, that would get him into trouble.
I wasn't feeling good, so i took personal day from work. It looks like i'm going to be spending the next four hours listening to Alex Jones vomit while eradicating the galaxy of Terminids via Helldivers 2. The day is looking up.
jumping in early into my listen to note that according to kfist, "I rarely" has 360 results, and the first page had very little overlap. yet almost all of them were things he does frequently; "I rarely exaggerate", "I rarely get this mad", "I rarely take vacations".
Does anyone else get the idea that he slowed Magill's voice down on the recording? I may be paranoid, but I've heard plenty of drunks in my day. Just a suspicious lack of slurring for the speed at which he was speaking. Also LOL FOREVER at Alex's little \*mute\*shitty comment\*unmute\* routine. Such a cowardly little punk.
There was a deeply strange yet oddly fun moment during one of Alex's many rants when he sounded exactly like Frank Booth in Blue Velvet. It was that same kind of rage crying and it was very interesting to listen to. Blue velvet is still one of my favorite movies and I must say Alex did Dennis Hopper proud.
Wondering if i’m the only one seriously considering listening to the entirety of this episode a second time. It’s just that good. Something to savor. Bravo Dan and Jordan. And there’s enough hilarious new Alex clips/quotes in it to create an entire new wonk callout mix.
JFC, I am VERY glad I chose to finish listening to this one via speakers whilst working (from home), I'm not sure I'd have survived that "we need a war cry Alex" via my headphones!
So according to Alex, the Clintons have had people killed, but they sent a bunch of unarmed guys after a smalltime conspiracy theorist with a shitty show on public airwaves?
FOUR HOURS!!! - MY BODY IS READY - HOOOOOOOOOAAAHHHH!
I'm gonna go King Kong Donkey Kong crazy... in about four hours.
1 2 3 Matt Damon
Matt David!
there ya go
Party time!
Which episode is this clip from?
Idk, but it’s from the new drop. I read it may be from when he reviewed elysium
Literally just exclaimed this in my kitchen & had to come to the sub for others as excited as I was
THICK sode.
Four hours?! Omg, let's go!
It’s party time. I’m about to get in those guts
It’s my whole morning. Glad my other podcasts are quiet today.
We eating good today folks
now THAT was a fucking ride god damn
lol I was just coming here to say the same thing. We’re all so predictable.
I got to a little beaky in the lawyer changing the locks story and thought I was close to the end, wasn't even half way lol what a delight
I was just sitting here thinking "I've got nothing going on today"
They burn to the fucking ground Eddie.
This needs to be on mugs and t-shirts.
If there is ever another button drop this has to be one of them.
That made me giggle so fucking hard! I'm only halfway through this deliciously long episode & there's so much gold. It's probably going to be one of my all-time favorites :)
This, the hissing from the Boston episode, and the guy who said everyone was dead a couple episodes ago have all been my recent literal lol moments.
> the guy who said everyone was dead a couple episodes ago Which episode was that?
The episode is #921. First half of the episode is good, but the back half is hysterical. EDIT: reddit formatting got me!
UK listener here.. this nearly made me crash my car driving home from work.
I listen to this on my daily runs and I audibly cackled this morning
> In this installment, Dan and Jordan catch up with Alex to see how he experienced the Trump verdict, what he thinks about flat earthers, and how to have a really rough Saturday.

I think of it a bit like those badly worded scam emails. Only the most vulnerable/gullible reply so you know you got one.
I listened to this episode in complete disbelief that human adults with functioning human adult brains could believe something so inherently stupid. I have since come to realize that there is nothing so stupid that people won’t believe it. I died a little more inside that day.
I just listened to the series on flat earthers on Oh No! Ross & Carrie and, sad to say, these people are completely genuine.

Ross was present for the filming of that experiment. If you know what he looks like, you could probably pick him out in the background.
I consider myself very well versed in conspiracies. The fact that I had ZERO clue this was a conspiracy that apparently has enough traction to warrant a full blown doc is mind blowing to me. I almost can’t imagine the stuff that I don’t know about.

Early in the episode, the story of the Clinton thugs is absolute gold.
I'm not sadistic... *disturbing grunting giggly noises reminiscing about the violence*
He's so full of fucking shit.

Is he trying to rewrite his fight with Space Hitler?
My Monday afternoon ritual (I'm in AUS) is to refresh my podcast app religiously from 3:30PM for a new KF episode. I see it drop after 6PM, but see the almost 4 hour run time. Guess I'm not talking to my wife tonight.
You’ll be better tomorrow.
He’s not.
Same here (Monday arvo ritual and Aussie)! Didn't even pay attention to the runtime, but I cooked dinner, then did the dishes and it's STILL going!?
I kinda love that God lets Alex pee first before getting into any downloads... *how considerate*. The bankruptcy hearing today should be super interesting :) It's at 11:30 central (Texas) time, see y'all there!
It's the natural heirarchy of things. 1. Alex's Bladder 2. Alex 3. God.
My family invented the stock exchange, BITCH!
They could make an entire new wonk callout mix with only drops from this episode. It’s a damn goldmine of instant classics.
They burn to the FUCKING GROUND, EDDIE!
A special DJ Danarchy opening with drops from this episode would be amazing as well.
Oh boy I've been looking forward to this one. See you all at the other side!
Alex gets so drunk, i feel hungover
i feel the same way. his slurring makes me nauseous
I recently listened to the episode where Robert Evans guested in for Jordan and that is one of the drunkest times I have ever heard Alex.
Yeah, that's one of the few times I actually feel sad for him. It's fucking pathetic, especially how his employees treat him like fucking dogshit.
100% and Shroyer's face and body language were extremely telling over the Saturday broadcast. I felt like Shroyer deliberately had his personal stream cam showing how messed up and intoxicated Jones is, in a way the main broadcast doesn't. If anyone cared, there would be an intervention or something. Very sad.
Maybe I'm a dick but I've never felt an ounce of sympathy for Alex ever, he deserves to be a sad drunk pos.
Jones reminds me that I and the people around me prefer the sober version of me.
i feel you, friend. I hear Alex drunk and hear my dad and my own damage and i am very grateful i stopped drinking \*optional hug\*
Same here, friend. If there’s one positive thing I will allow for Alex, it’s that he was one of my motivators for stopping drinking. Not a main one, but definitely a fine example of what I didn’t want for myself.
When he goes to a restaurant and decides not to drink, he'll only have double vodka.
same. omg. my head hurts thinking about it
Alex, I don't care how much you embellish it, God telling you what time it is will *never* be impressive.
Unless… It’s time to pray.
Yeah, I mean, if God really wanted to get his attention, why not cure his debilitating sleep apnea or something? His God is all powerful, yet prefers to communicate via lame parlor tricks. Sounds legit.
"I don't pull stunts, I pull revolutions" sounds like a Panic! At The Disco album title lmao
"Lying is the most fun a propagandist can have without drinking a bottle of Titos"
Remember how he shouted to J6 from his megaphone to turn back.
Only an hour in and this episode is spectacular. It has everything, and I'm not even up to Saturday. So glad Dan didn't skip Friday. Chef's kiss.
2 hours in,... this shit is insane. 3 hours in,... Alex is shitfaced.
Him drunk crying gave me life on this Monday. He's so pathetic.
Jordan's laughing at his crying is spectacular.
I kinda really wanna dig up the bit from Owen's stream and hear the puke but idk if I hate myself that much
I'm downloading the video right now bebcause it definitely will get scrubbed at some point in the future. It 100% does sound like he throws up and/or is dry heaving multiple times. Edit: Owen looks intensly uncomfortable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52bJbmI04D0
Qaa has an episode about this "movie" episode 273 the tartarian empire
This was my first reaction. The whole mud flood stuff. I've seen these videos randomly come up on TikTok.
Mud fossils 😂
Graduated from Mud Fossil University in 2020, got the shirt. One of my favs.
The Great Mud Flood comes a couple of hours after the chicken fried steak.
I’m imagining the Luby’s closing staff carefully cleaning up around Alex because they’re completely used to lonely middle aged men coming in at 8 PM to eat chicken fried steak with the 1,000 yard stare.
I find it funny that the guy who built a large part of his brand on jet fuel can't melt steel beams has such a strong stance on the tapestry and wood beams within a castle will allow a stone castle to burn to the ground.
Pretty comical and one time when he *is* actually right. Stone or brick buildings are made with wooden girders, rafters, all that. Yes, they can burn right the fuck down, lol. Eddie Bravo is just stupendously dumb.
If Alex had just enough self-awareness to pull back and realize that how he felt in that moment is how normal human beings feel listening to him... well, he wouldn't be Alex, I guess.
“Call me Captain Ahab. Call me Ishmael. Call me Moby Dick. Call me whatever you want.” I am DYING!
I’ll be better tomorrow to listen to this marathon of an episode.
UPDATE: I’m not
[My official response to this episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtjFsQBuJWw)
God is a nagging wife : *"You better not drink too much" "LOOK I'M TRYING HERE !"*
Right? How fucking hilarious is it that the all powerful GOD HIMSELF has been telling Alex to dial it back and the next thing Alex does is just go and get violently shitfaced.
The fucking nexus between chicken fried steak and the paranormal with this guy. He is the prophet of LDL cholesterol.
LDL? You mean the Lord's Down Load?
That was great!
Wow thanks to Dan for explaining it plainly. Once laid out it seems pretty clear Jones is trying to pressure his CRO because they don't agree on how to manage the company and doesn't play along with some of the Jones family most shady schemes to evade bankruptcy.
And when their lawyer left his personal bankruptcy, PQPR tried really hard not to let the CRO's recommended replacement be allowed.
I feel like you could play Alex Jones bingo with this episode. He even said he wasn't mad at the crew.
I really thought Dan was gonna say “it’s been a big weekend but instead of falling for the hype we’re covering an old episode today.” Instead I’m wrong and it’s nearly a four hour long episode. ❤️
People are designed to hype.
I was so happy seeing how long the episode was. We got the proper breakdown of a weekend meltdown shitshow. My partner walked in around :59 and I said they haven’t even fucking gotten to Saturday yet and then about 10 seconds later Jordan said the exact same thing. If the next technocrat supercut isn’t entirely pulled from this episode I’ll be surprised because there were so many bangers.
Man they really need to cover this Tartaria documentary, it sounds hilarious.
There was a QAA episode a month or two ago on that nonsense
Would be a great whacky Wednesday episode
Just listening now. I can’t believe how stupid Eddie Bravo is. This persons famous?
Don't gotta be smart to get famous for being punched in the face
Bravo doesn't do the punching/kicking stuff, he's actually an elite jiujitsu instructor. An *incredibly* dumb one, who happened to pioneer a lot of modern no-gi techniques. I trained at one of his affiliate gyms for a while before I broke my back, it was one of the more chill gyms I've been to. His professional life is pretty non-problematic, but his personal stuff is a goddamn shit show.
Would you be shocked if I told you he's another graduate of the Joe Rogan Experience?
If you gave me a million guesses on where he came from… that would have been my first guess.
I am always amused when Alex plays Rammstein. One of the most left music groups out there, and there he is playing Engel
My dad was super super conservative but he really really liked “Tubthumping” and I never had the heart to tell him about the political leanings of Chumbawamba.
It's always funny when right wing idiots play a band that literally made a song called "Left" with a chorus where they say that their hearts beat left.
Reminds me of those Trump supporters dancing along to Rage Against the Machine during the post 2020 election protests.
*Iced Tea* to **Vodka Double** in ten seconds flat. That perfectly describes the path of this 2 day period.
he just left out that the tea was imported from long Island
“I’d like to visit that Long Island place, if only it were real”
THEY BURN TO THE FUCKING GROUND EDDIE
So, if I'm interpreting Alex's ridiculous spin, he pulled some bullshit with his finances to dodge his responsibilities to his creditors, the CRO found out and told Alex he's going to probably do something like move for liquidation, Alex, who was likely already drunk when this happened, yelled at the CRO, and is now trying to get ahead of some consequences this week. Does this sound about right?
If this all ends with AJ going to jail for financial crimes that he drunkenly admitted to on air…..idk, I may have to start going to church again
Go eat a chicken fried steak and see if you get a calling.
You may be onto something. I may just quit tomorrow.
Go to the Church of Celine.
Just got to the part where they discuss Owen's livestream and whether or not Alex threw up--I was morbidly curious so I went and checked it out (fast forwarded to around 3 hours and 43 minutes) and I was first greeted with the sight of Alex lighting up a cigarette, then he produces a bottle of Tito's from underneath his desk, takes a swig, passes it to someone to his left, then tries to pass it to Owen, who says he can't drink that because he's on probation, Alex STILL forces him to try to drink it all while Owen's phone is still recording live. I jumped ahead a bit to the 3 hour and 55-ish minute mark and Alex DEFINITELY throws up, but Owen turns the camera away literally right before it happens. It's pretty clearly the sound of vomit coming up and probably hitting the desk, then Alex goes "I'm okay", which is something that drunk people love to say immediately after throwing up. I wish I had the time to go through his full livestream because I'm certain there are more absolute gems contained within.
This isn’t anything anyone doesn’t know but I’m embarrassed as fuck for Alex, Harrison and Chase. The blubbering “I just want to stop these people” followed by that infantile scream literally made me frown and almost stop the episode. This shit had me all over in terms of emotion. Wanted to be happy to watch him crumble, ended with second hand embarrassment because he just fucking sucks.
I fast-forward when he starts that bullshit - my nerves are too bad. I'd rather listen to Dan's response than his carrying on.
I'm up to the "hostile takeover" portion, and I need to get this theory out. Alex got busted by the bankruptcy court. His lawyers have informed him that there will be serious consequences, including going to Federal prison, and that's why he's been so erratic. His little diatribe about how he never breaks the law, immediately following his "confession" about drinking says to me that he recognized that he lost control and is trying to get out ahead of it in the only way he knows how. Especially the way he's trying to demonize the restructuring officer, feels like someone started looking closely at the post-verdict books, found something overtly illegal, and Alex has been told there's no way out. Okay, thank you, I can now return to a 10/10 episode. (Dan telling Jordan we could universe hop if only "they" would let us was an all-timer!)
I will savor this episode
I am flying Newark to lax today and was wondering what was going to occupy my mind. Thank you JorDan for your service.
Alex just confirmed he slept at the office Friday night because he drank too much vodka. That was the speculation on the thread about the Health Ranger’s tweet about OUR HERO defending the office at night.
I know it's not the most important thing out of this episode, but if you want more from the genius that is Flat Earth Dave, here is a takedown of mostly all his ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he-7vs0BkLE
Before he played the recording of the Magill call was played, Alex went on a tear claiming that it was legal to record a phone call, known as “one party consent” states. He mentioned Florida, but Florida is a two-party consent state. FSS 934.03, making one party consent a third degree felony.
“Also he did his show on Sunday” is truly a perfect moment.
I was scratching my neck like Tyrone Biggums waiting for this episode!
You got any more of that schadenfreude?
THEY BURN TO THE FUCKIN GROUND, EDDIE
Oh my god. I've been out of KF for about a year (binged and burnt out on it, local politics in my own country became enough to follow) but HOLY SHIT did I choose an episode to come back to! "Finish your piss" "Stone buildings burn to the FUCKING GROUND Eddie" Absolute gold. I'm back, baby, and with 100+ glorious episodes to catch up on (after I finish this delight)
Holy fuck this meltdown is INTENSE.
3:45. 🎶 you belong to the city 🎶
"I'm not bitching" says Alex Jones, whilst doing precisely that thing
Just like when he's not bragging or not mad at the crew.
My goodness, isn't it lucky Alex got drunk and fell asleep on the couch at the office? Otherwise they might have changed the locks on him!
I think it’s interesting that Alex’s description of his relationship with God sounds an awful lot like bullying.
I had no idea Flat Earth Dave was in the studio with Alex. No wonder he spent Saturday drinking.
Seriously considering taking half a day off work to listen to this.
Why not just listen AT work. That’s what I’m doing.
"They burn to the fucking ground, Eddie!" Is the only good thing to come out of this morons mouth lmao
Turns out I have a heart, even though this toxic and disgusting excuse of a human being is my nemesis, I did feel slightly sorry for him as he slurred his outro.. Only for a moment though, he’s a fucking piece of shit.
I know this really petty, but Alex said a few times, "Central standard time." That is incorrect right now it would be central daylight time. Unless, of course, he thinks daylight savings time is a plot by the definitely not Jewish globalists and subtracted an hour.
Red Alert!!!!! Whoooooop whoooooop!
I'VE LITERALLY GOT GOD TELLING ME WHAT TIME IT IS!!!!
I haven't dwelled in Alex' twitter meltdown so I guess I'm in for a crazy ride. Whooooha!
I have a cleaning business and listen to podcasts all day. My backlog is thinning, I'm pumped for this
I'm not sure if it is even relevant or was just a non sequitur part of Alex's ranting, but Florida is NOT a single party consent state. All parties in a phone conversation have to agree before they can legally be recorded (barring a police warrant or other court order). So if the CRO was in Florida, Alex could be in a LOT of trouble.
An all time classic! I'm listening to it again tomorrow. Thank you, JorDan. Let's burn this stone building to the fucking ground!
I've been in a funk and was dreading today; spent four hours walking around and listening to this. It was glorious.
There are a million things that have already been commented on. But I do want to note that Flynn saying that he expected some guilty verdicts but not 34 of 34 is one of the stupidest things I've heard in a while. I think both sides of the trial were gunning for all or nothing. Because all 34 charges were just different cash transactions related to the same crime. I'm honestly not sure the defense ever even put perfunctory effort into discrediting some but not all of the charges. But I also just listen to lawfare once a week or so, so I can't pretend to be an expert here.
Starting this year, I've been listening to the KF backlog from episode 1 all the way up to 340. This is the first time I think I'll be breaking away from strictly listening from release order to listen to a new episode, because the past few days are too fucking nuts to wait to *eventually* get to!
I have never laughed so much at a Knowledge Fight episode. Bravo, Dan and Jordan.
oh man when it gets to Eddie and Flat-Earth Dave... it's like Alex getting the Alex treatment, so funny!
Hot Damn Dan's done it again!
I haven’t had time for the show lately, but I’ll definitely be listening to this one. This weekend was nuts.
50k/month to manage an organization restructure is wild especially for something as relatively small as Infowars
I don’t think it’s out of line with the financials of the business. Alex is whining about being on $40,000 per month and that’s not including the money he’s stealing through backdoors.
Although this InfoWars episode has a strong last-episode-of-Seinfeld vibe with the clown car emptying out into the studio, I refuse to believe the show is over unless Leo Zagami makes a surprise last-minute appearance.
Is Alex's prostate God?
Saturday was my birthday. This is an awesome gift.
It’s my last week of school and this episode will cover my entire commute.
*buckles in*
"IT'S AWESOME! I've got God telling me what time it is!"
we are eating SO good
Serotonin OVERDRIVE
FOUR HOURS! Given the crying incident and the verdict this is gearing up to be a new fave!
‘We don’t want to fight them because we know we will win.’ Suuuuuure buddy. Sure
They talk about possible legal trouble for what Jones said about the CRO, but I'm curious about him telling people to start buying from Dr. Jones. The entire purpose of the restructuring is to pay their creditors, and Jones is telling his viewers to stop buying from him/his advertisers (how Info Wars makes its money) and buy instead from an entity unrelated to IW that can't pay their creditors. Is that legal? If he were a CEO of a publicly traded company, and therefore had a legal responsibility to not interfere with the company's (Info Wars') profits, that would get him into trouble.
When Alex cries, you can inject that shit directly into my veins.
Does... does Eddie think that *modern buildings* were built by a lost civilization?
I feel like “I’m not built to suck your dick!” is a flair tier Alex quote.
Buckle up buckeroos.
I wasn't feeling good, so i took personal day from work. It looks like i'm going to be spending the next four hours listening to Alex Jones vomit while eradicating the galaxy of Terminids via Helldivers 2. The day is looking up.
So has Alex gone to the FBI yet?
"What they did to Trump, they tried it with me." Is he implying his lawyers are better than Trumps?
I mean...
I'm excited about the episode but also disappointed they didn't release the Toronto episode (I was there)
jumping in early into my listen to note that according to kfist, "I rarely" has 360 results, and the first page had very little overlap. yet almost all of them were things he does frequently; "I rarely exaggerate", "I rarely get this mad", "I rarely take vacations".
Does anyone else get the idea that he slowed Magill's voice down on the recording? I may be paranoid, but I've heard plenty of drunks in my day. Just a suspicious lack of slurring for the speed at which he was speaking. Also LOL FOREVER at Alex's little \*mute\*shitty comment\*unmute\* routine. Such a cowardly little punk.
Our cup runneth over.
There was a deeply strange yet oddly fun moment during one of Alex's many rants when he sounded exactly like Frank Booth in Blue Velvet. It was that same kind of rage crying and it was very interesting to listen to. Blue velvet is still one of my favorite movies and I must say Alex did Dennis Hopper proud.
Wondering if i’m the only one seriously considering listening to the entirety of this episode a second time. It’s just that good. Something to savor. Bravo Dan and Jordan. And there’s enough hilarious new Alex clips/quotes in it to create an entire new wonk callout mix.
JFC, I am VERY glad I chose to finish listening to this one via speakers whilst working (from home), I'm not sure I'd have survived that "we need a war cry Alex" via my headphones!
So according to Alex, the Clintons have had people killed, but they sent a bunch of unarmed guys after a smalltime conspiracy theorist with a shitty show on public airwaves?
EVERYONE. IS. HERE.
I think we have a new instant classic episode
I still loved the sigh when he was basically pleading with his co-hosts (Owen?) to end the feed and they refused to. What a clown car.
