As of this morning, my thesis has been approved!! I'd like to thank Dan for intellectual contributions for the thesis, because his work breaking down Alex's nonsense helped me structure arguments in my own writing.

The thesis is about embodied emotion during the Early Modern period, so, you know, pretty obviously related to our primary ding-dong /s. Thanks to the collapse of funding for humanities, I have a pretty big gap in my education, thst being formal logic. So when I was grappling with some of the more out-there strands of early modern philosophy and medical ideas, I had a little Dan in my head helping me trace if-then lines of argument and reminding me to take a close look at how I was framing my own argument. So thanks, Dan, for stepping in where American higher ed failed

Sorry if this is too off-topic, but has anyone found other ways to keep up with Alex's drama? Last thing I want to do is actually follow him.

She was delightful on Show Me State of Mind. Dan’s deep dives into roadside attractions is something I’m very much here for, and I hope we hear more of her as a guest.

There once was a grifter named Jones
Who drank milkshakes made out of bones
Then he uttered some libels
Had to swear on some Bibles
Now he’s one of the clout-chasing clones.

Preshow at 12pm and the marathon officially starts at 1pm.

So excited for Dan's new show!

Long time fan. Saw alot of the sentiment being, "gee I hope Jordan gets his own new podcast too!"

It comes from a place of love, but this is a dumb/unhealthy hope. Jordan is not Dan, an their followers should recognize they don't need to go forth into their future as competing or starstruck cohosts. Thoughts?

In Episode 217 where JorDan are discussing Project Camelot, Kerry Cassidy mentions a documentary that was being made at the time by British journalists covering the story behind the killer who committed murder for Mark Richards. Does anyone know what that doc is and where I can find it?

I think the points he is making are challenging . Some of you want to silence it because you want to give Jeff Lawson money. let folks repost him and let Jordan do his thing

After hearing show me state of mind it’s clear that all of Dan’s little road-trips were for the new show!

The Onion just gave them both someone to blame and get out of this Alex mess.

So hopefully Jordan has a plan as well. Wish them both well.

I want to hear what your hometown’s Big Tree or Leaning Tower is. Where did you grow up and what was the local quirky landmark with a story?

Hello friends -- I've been relistening to the older episodes of KF and I think I found a doozy that others haven't pointed out before (apologies if I missed something).

In Ep 23, we get:

• The first (???) reference to the Secret Space Program and Project Camelot??
• Jordan finds out that Anderson Cooper is ridiculously wealthy and is shocked (and it's pretty cute)
• Multiple references to both hosts having day jobs
• The realization that Alex only reads the headlines
• Kind of the entire right-wing media plan exposed (writing articles about mis-reporting basic facts and then repeating and re-reporting that mis-reporting)
• "We have hundreds of listeners" says Dan, referring to how small the podcast is at this point. ("We would be paid in the ones of dollars," says Jordan, referring to how if only the DNC took the Alex threat seriously.)
• Jordan points out that Dan is "doing the job that Alex Jones says he's doing" in terms of researching and reading way beyond headlines, "and weirdly enough, it turns out that he's not doing."

It's really good, and it's one of the long, meandering episodes that got me hooked. Just wanted to pass on that it's a really good one.

...and they teased that they are going to do a MacGyver episode soon. You can bet who I'm hoping, against hope, is their guest for that...

Did you guys notice they got Nick Lutsko (the guy who made the Alex Jones indie song) to do the InfoWars elf song?

Apologies if Dan has addressed that possibility already. And I'm definitely not saying Dan should go in another direction, that this podcast and the accompanying site aren't already a blast (they are).

But 15 minutes in, I'm thinking "I've gotta see this Big Tree..." And sure enough, it looks pretty cool! I imagine every episode will have its share of moments like that, which just got me thinking - how cozy and charming would it be if Dan were to host a PBS-style travel show where he focuses on the quirky stuff and we get to see the sights and his interactions directly?

Plus, something like that under his belt would greatly bolster his case for taking over Survivor from MC Not-So-Jazzy Jeff.
