"What's your claim to fame?" "I got punched by Space Hitler." 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dead

One of the funniest things about Alex Jones is how he keeps saying "we don't have time to get into it" about everything before launching into a "rant" which is mostly just him screaming "they're going to kill us2 or "they are eating children" for like 15 minutes.

Young Alex Jones used to ride around town on his giant blue ox kicking asses and taking phone numbers. I heard he wrastled a full grown grizzly bear when he was only three.

sophie from mars said a thing about jone which was like "every single thing he says is a filter of how willing you are to listen to his bullshit" and every clip of him I hear just confirms that

"I HAVE A DOZEN DOCUMENTS CONFIRMING THIS!" *sounds of paper being shaken vigorously* "May I see them?" ".............. no."

59:40 ah, the naive days when we thought the Muller Report would actually _do_ something.

What's missing, my intros!? Man, I love this show and I'm so happy to be listening to it again.

Texas in the 80s and 90s was....interesting. I grew up in the Panhandle. One town had the highest per capita rate of teen pregnancies in the state, the other had the highest for teen alcoholism. And yeah, I tell people to just imagine that I grew up in Arlen, and it'll be pretty accurate.

"The socks stay on!"

"Raised non politically" at this point means "I was white and my parents were cool with the status quo"

oh with the Obama hate... I distinctly remember seeing conservative people hating on Obama before he even took office. He had that "D" by his name so all the Republicans immediately hated him. I distinctly remember someone I served with in the military posting a long rant about how Obama had made all these promises and why wasn't he carrying them out... and it was in Dec 2008, a month before Obama was inaugurated. It didn't matter that he wasn't actually president yet and couldn't actually do anything... they just. fucking. hated him. Oh and it wasn't really a race thing because the person who posted the thing I just mentioned is a black woman. The same thing happened with Biden. They hated him the instant he won the election. And that hatred has only grown since then, despite that he hasn't really done much, and has largely stuck with Trump's policies, with a few exceptions (the one that comes to mind being the student loan forgiveness stuff, which to be fair is pretty big).

18:34 _"I'm sick of them putting Rings Of Power in the shire that turn the frickin' Hobbits gay!"_

I need to get a new military-type killing knife… I mean I got a good military-type wounding knife, and a street-type killing knife, but it’s such a pain to carry both, ya know?

Calling bullshit that Robert hadn't seen a movie literally *called* machete

Balls to the Wall was Accept, not AC/DC. It's an easy mistake to make.

48:20 - 'Balls to the wall' is not an AC/DC song, it's an Accept song. Perhaps you were thinking of 'Big balls'

Is your Cyanide paired with Potassium or Sodium? I'm watching my sodium intake.

I can't be the first to mention this, but "Balls To The Wall" is by the German band Accept, not AC/DC.

Only Alex Jones would have an archenemisis names Space Hitler.

14:21 he believed if he repeatedly “resisted temptation” by sleeping near all of them naked he would essentially gain incredibly powerful energy that he could then use it to convince the British that specifically the Indian people were of equal hierarchical footing

"Balls to the wall" is by Accept, not AC/DC ;)

I once decided, while writing a story with a character who's a conspiracy theorist, that I would watch a bit of an Alex Jones video. I figured it would be good research. Now, he claims to do 'news' and while I didn't necessarily go into it looking to see what he had to say, I go into anything with an assumption that someone might bring something of value. If I didn't, I wouldn't have started to see how all these kooky leftists have a point about things, and would still be a #Edgy Libertarian/Tech-Bro acolyte type. It just so happened that the video was talking about a recent Superbowl, in which (he claimed) the New England Patriots cheated. Now, I don't know if they did. I do know they have been accused, somewhat credibly, of less-than-savory tactics, so maybe they did. And maybe Mr. Jones, being a man who is always on the lookout for hidden things, might have seen something that I didn't. I watched maybe two or three minutes, in which he accused them of cheating by... Timing out the snap count. Now, that is not reading signals. He did not even CLAIM they read signals. Or anything of the sort. What he accused them of doing was just... Figuring out how long the other team's quarterback usually takes to hike the ball. Something that not only is not against the rules, and is encouraged, would require some sort of Harrison Bergeron technology to prevent. He accused a team of cheating for having basic observational skills. Despite what he thinks, it is not illegal for football players to watch football, particularly if the football they are watching is a game they are in. Within a few minutes, I was fully inoculated against anything else this man had to say. Which may have helped me avoid falling into any conspiracy theories, which is good, because I tend to have a mind so open that you never know what might fall in. However, I did need to find a new person to base my character on...

isn't Balls to the Wall by Accept, not AC/DC?

The SOB stole his shtick from The Church of the Sub genius Hour of Slack, which aired on community radio in Dallas in the 1980-1990s and was syndicated on various college radio stations throughout the country (and still is). Except it was an improv comedy parody of crackpot religion.

I remember him talking about this, he usually put it like "we doing a {google,twitter} bomb" and it was to get stories trending to get them in front of more eyes.

On Austin public access back then there were several groups of older guys who he followed doing the conspiracy stuff. oh this reminds me off the guy who wore mirror sun glasses and would talk about all that stuff. I love saying ......his daddy was a dentist ........ spoiled white kid here in northwest Austin.

Alex probably retconned himself into a true story he heard later on.

45:15 - 45:31 It's like the if the Internet were a physical place you could go to. Someone has to find and upload this clip!

Okay as someone from Houston, what is a Houston accent?

Alex Jones is Dale Gribble come to life.

Machete is pretty popular

I feel warmer psychologically knowing you love about 40% of me.

10-20 girls by 16 would be a big lie his number is just off the charts

Listening to Alex explain 16 year old Alex is fucking INSANE. Wouldn’t you think he’d make up a believable lie like 10 or 20? Because a huge lie like that makes his other lies seem even less plausible!

Less than 3 minutes and the seething hatred is already palpable

It's called a sword, not a "military type killing knife" :D

My conspiracy theory is that Alex Jones is on the Soros take 🧐

A surprising amount of support I have encountered in real life multiple times for Jones actually comes from a lot of the more extreme Left and this is really something that I think content creators like Robert sometimes get into but then kinda whiff on. And I understand why somewhat. On a practical level when the Jones or Jimmy Dore tupes had any kind of legitimate support or interest from any considerable number of Lefties was a long time ago now. I mean, A SCANNER DARKLY was 2006 people. Still I think a dive into how the Tim Poole and Alex Jones of the world went SO off the rails after getting a lot of their early juice from disaffected Lefties needs some serious rather than fascile analysis.

17:30 I want what these guys are smoking, because honestly, this Jones sounds even worse than the current one. Yea, sure, current Jones is technically worse in that his "polished" presentation better obfuscated his political conspiracies, but the thing these three guys are glazing Jones over here is... him going on an incel rant about being trolled by a crank phone caller in the 90s? "He doesn't sound like he's bought into his own Kool-Aid yet" he's screaming at a random caller, saying he loves Bill Clinton and the NWO because he's laughing. That sounds way more like buying into his own hype than the Alex Jones using a funny goblin metaphor to defend Trump on his pretend anti-authority show.

"The AC/DC song Balls to the Wall" I can't tell if you meant Balls to the Wall by Accept or Big Balls by AC/DC. Either way, you fucked up.

Not a fan of putting Jobs in the same sentence as Jones, but overall... 👍

Mate California and Oregon guys are just doing so great it’s amazing in your cities in your in your state 🤮 Your real leaders are an example of what not to do to a population
