Episode Overview

Theme:
In this episode, Dan and Jordan break down Alex Jones’ November 8, 2025 broadcast, featuring an in-studio discussion with disgraced comedian and New Age grifter Russell Brand. The hosts dissect the pair’s rambling attempt at spiritual, political, and "apology" theatre. Over the course of the episode, Dan and Jordan find both Jones and Brand insufferable and incompatible, highlighting their mutual disrespect, questionable sincerity, and constant one-upmanship. Ultimately, the show becomes a study in self-parody and empty rhetoric under the guise of Christianity, masculinity, and free-thinking.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Bright Spots and Mailbag (00:10–06:04)

• Dan’s bright spot:
  • Disappointment with a new episode of MacGyver.
  • Received an unexpectedly well-fitting coat from a listener named George.
    • "It's very strange...it fits very nicely and it looks good." — Dan (02:44)
• Jordan’s bright spot:
  • Enjoys "Physical Asia," a Korean-Japanese reality competition show featuring teams from across Asia and Australia engaged in fitness contests, sometimes humorously stacked (Australia has the world’s strongest man).
• The segment is filled with the show’s usual camaraderie and inside jokes, setting a light, irreverent tone.

Welcoming New Supporters (06:04–06:57)

• Dan lists new “policy wonks” and one “technocrat,” using listener-submitted nicknames.
• Alex Jones soundboard clips punctuate these announcements.
• Jordan and Dan riff on internal show lore ("stealing Alex’s watches," seeking to discover Jordan's latent superpowers).

Experiment: Can Russell Brand "Annoy Jordan into Superpowers"? (06:57–08:49)

• Dan introduces the day’s Alex Jones Show:
  • Russell Brand is guest in-studio.
  • Dan attempts to see if Brand’s presence is irritating enough to jog Jordan’s “Weapon X” superpowers (a running joke about getting too annoyed by stupidity).

Alex’s Pipe Bomber Conspiracy & The CIA (09:37–15:23)

• Alex Jones opens by dumping a convoluted January 6th “Capitol pipe bomber” conspiracy on the audience, claiming (without naming names) that a Capitol Police officer (allegedly CIA) orchestrated the event.
  • "We knew this. A Capitol Police officer with another group connected to Pelosi...that's confirmed." — Alex Jones (09:37)
• Dan explains this theory traces back to The Blaze, citing shaky “gait analysis.”
• Dan and Jordan mock the "science" involved and highlight the dubious origins and non-evidence backing the accusations.
• Alex avoids naming the suspect to dodge clear defamation.

Russell Brand’s Over-the-Top Praise for Alex (16:02–17:24)

• Brand compares being in-studio to a “pilgrimage,” calls Alex a "prophet," and hails his role in "the culture."
  • "It kind of feels like a pilgrimage to be in this hallowed and sacred space with you, Alex Jones... you are an early prophesier." — Russell Brand (16:02)
• Dan and Jordan are openly disgusted by the empty flattery and affected spirituality.

Awkward Storytelling: Katy Perry’s Dad & Russell’s Conversion (18:15–20:59)

• Alex shares a dubious tale about Russell Brand’s spiritual experience, linking it to Katy Perry’s father (Brand’s ex-father-in-law), who “warned” Alex about Perry “going to the devil.”
  • Brand is clearly uncomfortable with Alex’s unsolicited “inside info.”
• Russell tries to defuse, fudging the details and trivializing the story.

The True Theocratic Agenda Emerges (21:09–22:28)

• Brand advocates for Christian “revival” that makes Christ “king over the nation.”
  • "…a reinstating of Christ to his right position on the throne..." — Russell Brand (21:09)
• Dan clarifies this is veiled theocracy; both hosts note the rhetoric isn’t as harmless as it seems.

Russell Brand’s Sexual Assault Charges, Lady Slayer Panic (23:11–25:15)

• The conversation awkwardly turns to Brand’s history as a “lady slayer”/womanizer.
• Alex jokes about their sexual exploits while Brand (facing real-world assault charges) tries to defuse with nervous humor.
  • "History don't call it a lady slayer when I've got to face a rape trial." — Russell Brand (23:42)

"Conversion" Testimony, Demonic Inner Dialogues (25:40–32:30)

• Alex puts Brand on the spot about the details of his religious conversion, invoking an “old man on the beach” story. Brand ambiguously brushes it aside.
• Brand and Alex bond over “the devil” being the source of negative self-talk.
  • Dan dissects how calling inner criticism “demonic” is harmful, advocating for therapy over spiritualizing mental struggle.

Brand as the “Apostate” of Modern Culture (32:49–36:02)

• Brand frames himself as having left “celebrity culture” and become an apostate, blaming cultural emptiness and anti-free-will globalists (like Yuval Noah Harari) for society’s woes.
• Dan rebuts, tracing Brand’s fall from comedic grace into his current opportunism.

Compliment, Insult, and Supplement Grift Irony (37:54–40:32)

• Brand tries to praise Alex as an "independent newsman," but can't resist jabbing at Alex’s methylene-blue-stained thumb.
  • "You were one of the first...to blow an imaginary trumpet..." — Russell Brand (37:54)
• Dan and Jordan point out the real irony: Brand is actually making fun of Alex’s sad, grifty present—not boosting him.

“Praying” One-Upmanship (53:33–56:44)

• Brand asks Alex how much he prays; Alex claims "constant prayer connectivity," Brand claims to kneel for private prayer.
• Both escalate performative spirituality, but then agree not to have a “prayer-off.”

Climate Tyranny, Dogs, and “God’s Terraformers” (56:46–58:47)

• Brand and Alex riff on news that UK sandwiches now have carbon ratings and officials want pets banned for climate reasons.
• Alex rants, "We are God's terraformers!" (57:48)
• Both descend into pseudo-cosmic talk about human “expansion” and “magic in your DNA.”

Russell Brand’s Annoyance & the Philosophy of Free Will (59:53–67:56)

• Alex declares “biological life is from God, silicon is from Satan... DNA is a laser beam.”
• Both meander through theological nonsense about God’s “only sin,” the problem of pain, and humans as “little G” gods.
• "We’re a laser link." — Alex Jones (61:15)

Mutual Disrespect: Business, Masculinity, and Race (70:35–80:17)

• Banter devolves into passive aggression:
  • Brand openly mocks Alex’s supplement hustle with a Smurf joke.
  • Alex retorts with “my dad was in MK Ultra,” but Brand breezes past.
• Brand claims American men are “vilified” to undermine their protector role in a coming conflict; Alex goes full white nationalist, declaring only people of “British Isles spirit” are capable of leadership. (79:09–80:17)
  • "They're the only people left ready to take action. And they can...inspire the Hispanics, the blacks..." — Alex Jones (80:03)

Climax: Prayer as Insult (“Forgive Alex for Sandy Hook”) (95:01–96:36)

• In a passive-aggressive highlight, Brand closes by praying—ostensibly for Jones’ spiritual absolution regarding Sandy Hook:
  • "Heavenly Father, pray for absolution and forgiveness for Alex...for any transgressions... around the matter of Sandy Hook." — Russell Brand (95:19)
• Dan and Jordan see this as a calculated slap—Brand, accused rapist, throws Alex’s own worst scandal back at him while pretending piety.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Alex, on supplement-stained hands:
  "We are God's terraformers!" (57:48)
• Brand, on Alex's role:
  "A man so extraordinary that... you are an early prophesier." (16:02)
• Brand, on the photo of a bird:
  "That's a beautiful heron, man... It's a bird of wisdom." (95:16)
• Brand, retaliating with passive-aggressive prayer:
  “I pray for the people that were affected there, for the people that lost their children. And I pray your forgiveness for your son, Alex Jones, for the great work that he does and continues to do…” (95:19)
• Alex, redefining DNA:
  "We're a laser link." (61:15)

Host Analysis & Recurring Themes

Mutual Disdain and Empty Posturing

• Both Brand and Alex can’t stop needling each other.
• Nonstop one-upmanship about prayer, masculinity, public respect, even who’s more “controversial.”
• Brand openly mocks Alex’s supplemental grift and tabloid scandals; Alex makes “lady slayer” jokes about Brand despite his ongoing rape allegations.

Theocracy, Magic, and Pseudo-Science

• Both guests want a Christian theocracy—“God’s plan” laundered through pseudo-DNA theory and vague apocalypse narratives.
• Heavy-handed Bible and magic DNA references obscure any clear theological position.

Passive Aggression Becomes Open Aggression

• Brand’s “forgiveness” prayer for Sandy Hook is a pointed, public humiliation.
• The show ends with both men battered, no closer to solidarity than when they started.

Conclusion: Two Grifters Enter, No Truth Emerges

Dan and Jordan deliver a dense, biting analysis of an episode heavy on mutual deception and self-parody. Brand and Jones expose their glaring intellectual, spiritual, and personal hollowness, locked in a battle for attention and absolution they can’t actually give each other. The final judgment: “Their vibes individually are bad. Mixed together it’s like chocolate on pizza.”

For listeners:

• This episode is best if you enjoy watching serial grifters trip over their own egos.
• Expect plenty of insightful (and hilarious) dunking by Dan and Jordan—especially on topics like performative religiosity, bad-faith arguments, and how desperate men behave at the edge of cultural relevance.
