if the claims adjuster was actually an anti-woke libertarian that's fully hilarious. dude's gonna get off scot-free once the conspiracy theories about government false-flag crisis actors get off the ground.

Conservative critics: "you are dumb and ugly, your ideas are stupid, you're simultaneously petulant child and criminal mastermind, street trash and classist elite depending on what I need you to be. Here's a generic list of generally and generically bad things I compare you to: "

Liberal critic: "you are dumb and hurtful and one of these days I (or the free market) might do something about it!"

Leftist critics: " I have scoured every inch of your life's works and history. I know you better than your own mother. I am the world's foremost expert in you, and I can say, with absolute certainty, you are an awful person. Your flaws and vices are the most essential things about you. You would be rejected on the basis of your own standards. Please enjoy this four hour decomentary based on my research. "

fascinating things that alex jones has done on air:

drunkly throw hatchets at his own studio cameras as part of a Christmas broadcast

pretend to visit heaven during trump's 2025 inauguration

interview chatGPT as if it was a person (3 times! and not interviewing chatgpt simulating a real person, mind you, but as itself)

go live for a full show just after hitting his head on a doorway in his studio and getting a concussion; clearly suffering the effects of moderate head trauma for the entire show

threaten to quit and storm out of the studio (this happens very frequently)

claim that when you get off an airplane anywhere in east asia, "they" karate chop you

regularly have on elon musk sound-alike adrian dittman and treat him in a way that indicates that he truly believes he is really elon musk, despite adrian insisting otherwise and despite evidence that he is indeed not elon musk

claim that elves are real and that he's had encounters with them

say he wants to do a call-in painting show, only to abandon the idea and never speak of it again because it was part of an unsuccessful attempt to evade giving money to the Sandy Hook families

pretend to be briefly possessed by a demon and then fight it out of his body

put some of his "Super Male Vitality" supplement on a burger and then eat it, claiming it improves the taste

claiming that one of his supplements can give you painful erections as a positive

do not ever ever EVER get attached to a podcast. you could have been listening to that shit since you were in 8th grade and then. it just ends. out of nowhere. and your Podcast is gone.

Ngl, genuinely cried last night after the announcement that Knowledge Fight has ended and Dan and Jordan are no longer working together. I wish them well and don't think they should have to continue something they're done with or force them to work together when they think it would hurt their friendship and be unproductive, but I'm admittedly extremely bummed out. If anyone has any podcast recs of a similar genre to fill the void (that is not Behind the Bastards) I welcome the suggestion

I clearly need to work on my parasocial tendencies. Knowledge Fight ended rather abruptly (a week of suspicious silence, a much debated twitch rant, followed by the release of an “end of the road” episode), and suddenly it’s like I’m twelve years old again and my friend group has just announced that they don’t want to talk to me anymore. These guys have been a constant in my life for seven years - I started listening to the back catalogue in the summer of ‘19 - and the community around the show has been one of my most active “fandoms” since then.

I’m really sad that one of the reasons for the podcast ending seems to be that they don’t want to work together anymore. I haven’t been able to bring myself to listen to the last episode, but their friendship was always one of the main draws of the show. I was one of the people who genuinely loved A Matter of Time; I could listen to these two chat about pretty much anything and find it enjoyable. I had almost settled on what to request for my patron shout out after supporting them on patreon since 2021. Some people say they saw this coming - I was blindsided. I wish them all of the happiness in the world and I get stressed out with how many fans are angry and want to litigate whose fault it is. Personally I’m just sad and reckoning with the disproportionate amount of grief I’m feeling for my favourite podcast going off air.
