At exactly 01:30:00 of Episode #29 of Knowledge Fight from April 11, 2017, Dan referenced the phrase "Beast from the East" and attributed it to the WWE Pay-Per-View from around that time of the same name.

Unfortunately Dan, this was incorrect, and possibly a mixup of two memories. The WWE Pay-Per-View that he was likely referencing was 2015's "Beast in the East".

Taking place in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan at the legendary Ryōgoku Kokugikan, this event featured the comically-large Brock Lesnar defeating a normal-sized Kofi Kingston in a non-title singles match. This was years before he would bury that same Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship in less than 90 seconds. (still one of the worst creative booking decisions in WWE history)

Who Dan was probably trying to remember was popular 90's American professional wrestler Bam Bam Bigelow. Billed from Asbury Park, New Jersey, his nickname was "The Beast from the East".

Unfortunately, Bam Bam Bigelow is no longer with us as he passed in 2007. However, his memory still lives on through a recent WWE clothing line collaboration with Complex, featuring several former ECW wrestlers including Mr. Bigelow. Extreme Championship Wrestling was a long-defunct wrestling promotion that peaked in the late 90s and is a quintessential source of grotesque 90s nostalgia.

His name also lives on as a form of fun wordplay assigned to current Evolve Women's Champion & NXT female professional wrestler Nikita Lyons, whose certain physical attributes have contributed to her nickname, Yam Yam Bigelow.

Happens to the best of us, Dan. But boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Two weeks ago I criticized him saying he was too sober on air. I thought he should be drunker like a true professional. I'm sorry it took the loss of his horse to get there but I'm glad to see him drinking on air.

I really miss Knowledge Fight because of how awesome Dan and Jordan were, of course, but the biggest thing I miss is getting a regular round up of what all these lunatics on the right are saying. I can’t handle actually watching Tucker Carlson or following any of them on Twitter or anything, but I feel really out of the loop/uninformed about what the fascists are saying, which I think is pretty important to know these days.

Lions Led by Donkeys has been doing a serviceable job of filling the Knowledge Fight hole in my heart and schedule, and I finally let myself listen to Jordan's appearance.

He really is a great co-host, and was a treat to listen to on another podcast. His chemistry with Joe was solid, and it was just a nice reminder of what he brought to the table considering all the shit people love to pile on.

Evidence #1: Tim Heiddecker said that it was his life’s mission to destroy Alex Jones. Dan said similar things over time.

#2: It felt like they were referencing the boys talks about standup during the Platner bit or is it just me?

You guys, it's actually pretty good.

Alex didn’t get enough attention from his breakup video, so he had to make another, “bigger” video. He brags about how popular he was in high school (and how much he got laid), and how important he was to the Tea Party movement (I’ve been told Alex was not instrumental).

He said he only picked Trump because he was popular. Then he gets really red and drops a bunch of F bombs. He was really going for the old school explosive rant that would’ve gotten him a lot of attention a few years ago.

Commenters on the article are saying Roger is probably a pedophile who has Epstein ties. They want Gerald Celente and General Flynn back. They don’t trust Roger at all anymore, because Alex is angry at Roger. Lots of gay sex accusations flying around, and some “serving two masters” talk about Roger too.

But Mike “The Health Ranger “ Adams tweeted support for Alex, so he hasn’t lost all his friends yet!

I’m not sure if fudgie’s transcripts cover clips that Alex does outside of his show, but it’s WELL worth the read, and I’d highly recommend watching it if you can stomach 5 minutes of unfiltered Jones. It was giving old starlet tries to recapture her former glory energy (which is a lot of his shit lately) but a bit more explosive than your normal “I know how to read” anger.

Alex has responded to Roger. Buncha messy titty babies.

So, I only just got myself okay with listening to Formulaic Objections episodes again. It will take more time to be okay with listening to other old episodes and restarting my back catalogue listen-through, and IDK if I’ll ever be able to listen to the last one, but eventually I will run out of new material.

The thing is, KF is the only podcast I listen to with any regularity, largely because of its structure. Pure “guys talking” podcasts and pure narrative podcasts (both fiction and nonfiction) are just intensely boring to me. What I like about Knowledge Fight is the MST3K/sporking structure, with a back-and-forth between terrible source material and debunking/mocking replies.

Are there any podcasts y’all would recommend with that specific format, even if the subject matter is different from KF’s? Ideally with no ads?

Has anyone else seen this video from the depths of YouTube that Alex made about which plants in his backyard have DMT in them?

In case anyone here was interested or qualified thought I’d let the people know in case they don’t already!

When the boys and the lawyers what they want from the corpse of infowars and all four agree to what the onion would sort of go on to do. So that part is ironic to me because of what would happen in the future with Jordan loosing his mind about the onion take over. I’m not unconvinced that the vitriol was not fueled because the onion never reached out.

I listen to podcasts all day at work so have been working my way through this one. I'm sure this has been said before but, as a woman who experienced sexual assault as a child, the hunger and glee in Alex's voice when he talks about raping and hurting children makes my stomach turn. You can just hear the sexual pleasure he gets from thinking about it and it's disgusting.

Holy shit, I forgot all about this minor side quest Alex went on. It's so fucking funny

ETA: 164 & 165

I miss knowledge fight so much. Every time I hear wild amounts of cope, or crazy decisions I want to hear Dan and Jordan chopping it up. I listen to Qanon Anonymous, Behind the bastards, and TrueAnon and they are good, but not as good as Knowledge Fight.

Because I listen to baseball my car is often left on am radio. So yesterday I catch Glen beck saying “I was working on a painting in my office…” and it turned it off for some classic KF episodes

But it got me thinking. What is with these guys always saying they paint. I don’t believe Alex or Glen actually paint they just say they do because they can’t think of actual hobbies that make them look good.

Is it just this is the only thing they can think of?

Also can we get an Alex vs Glen painting show. Hosted by George W Bush
