As mentioned on lsat week's show because of our vacations over the next few weeks we have some Prager RoUlette episodes for you all with this being the first. Hope you enjoy.

This week, we finally get into our episode on the “Dark Enlightenment” and fascists who fell in love with it. This time around we’re talking about a web2.0 dweeb with nazi pals, another web2.0 dweeb with nazi pals, and two political candidates, with nazi pals.   Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

This week, we finally finish of Alex Jones' aneurism inducing science fiction novella, The Great Reset in the purest of Alex Jones fashion, with an entire chapter nearly completely plagiarized from an anonymous internet white supremacist. Joining us this week is friend of the show Morgan Stringer. If you want more of Morgan you can find her on Twitter at @MoString and you can find her substack at...

This week, in lieu of our normal programming, we bring you another edition of Prager Roulette, this time focused on the nightmarish fever-dream that are the ads Kevin gets on YouTube. We take a look at ads from the Daily Wire, random survivalists with ZZ Top beards, failing conservative dating apps and Mike Huckabee himself.  Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

This week we break down the penultimate chapter of Alex Jones’ “The Great Reset” Chapter 9 The Globalists Try to Find the Narrative. This time arounf, Alex has really lost his steam, but really wants us all to know how much he loved Top Gun: Maverick. Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

This week, we take a look at the group of nitwits so vapid and disgraceful they could only come up with their own nicknames, the Intellectual Dark Web. Coined by Eric Weinstein in 2017 because nobody would let him and his brother join their club even though they were unquestionably way cooler than all those other kids, the IDW came to prominence and them promptly ate itself between 2018 and 2019,...

This week we break down chapter 8 of Alex Jones’ diseased dribble smear of a book “The Great Reset” by Alex Jones. This week’s chapter is titled “Great Reset of Food” because Alex had to give his definite articles to the parents of Sandy Hook victims. This time around, Alex devotes 20 pages to hard-selling his emergency food buckets to rubes. So… the same thing he does every day Pinky. Thanks as a...

This week because of some scheduling difficulties we had to change things up a bit and play a game of Prager Roulette, looking at some of the more overlooked, perhaps fringe figures of our menagerie of miscreants.   Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!   Become a patron at patreon.com/NYGBCpod   Find this episode on our website at NYGBCpod.com   Follow us on twitter at @NYGBCpod

This week, we dive back into our lunatic fringe exploration of the right’s war on college education, and if there’s anything I can promise you it is that this episode is full of guns, trucks, country music, and statistics about the right’s view of a college education as a net positive in American society. We dive deep into the muddy waters of the coordinated propaganda machine that amplified right...

This week, we read chapter 7 of Alex Jones’ poorly edited diatribe “The Great Reset” this week being titled “The Great Reset of Energy” in which Alex poorly remembers a Glenn Beck rant he heard once and imagines problems that aren’t there. Unfortunately for Alex this week, he forgot the topic of his chapter and decided to move on to fawning over Tucker Carlson and imagining things in bills that do...

This week we begin a two-part mini-series within the Lunatic Fringe talking about the right wing war on college educations. As any right wing commentator can tell you, college definitely isn’t for you because you can’t afford it, so sit back, and let their kids become your permanently installed overlords and stop complaining you worthless peon, you should have learned to code, you don’t need colle...

This week we continue our review of Alex Jones’ The Great Reset with Chapter 6 “You Probably Won’t Face a Firing Squad in the Great Reset, but You May Be Put in a Digital Gulag” and baby we are off the rails doing 150 miles per hour this time. In this chapter Alex weaves together things none of his cast of characters have said with programs no-one has started to magically find proof that the globa...

This week, we return to the lunatic fringe series to dig deeper into the conspiracies surrounding two of the far right’s most hated individuals in the U.S. Bill and Hillary Clinton. Since their first rise to national stardom with Bill’s presidency in the 1990s, the right has gone to any extent, no matter how crazy to smear both with anything that would stick and much that wouldn’t. From Vince Fost...

This week. We read and reviewed the second half of chapter 5 of Alex Jones’ “The Great Reset” in which Alex does much of the same, pretending quotes he includes on the page say things that they don’t say, and engaging in his delusion that he is fighting literal demons. This week Alex tells us what he got from skimming two more of Yuval Noah Harari’s books, and it definitely wasn’t much. Thanks as...

This week, we broke format BECAUSE WE CAN to indulge ourselves a little and go over the year that was and some of the things we didn't get a chance to talk about at the time.   Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!   Become a patron at patreon.com/NYGBCpod   Find this episode on our website at NYGBCpod.com   Follow us on twitter at @NYGBCpod

This Week we begin the first half of Chapter 5 of Alex Jones’ “The Great Reset” titled Yuval Noah Harari- Robocop for the Empire, and if you’re wondering where that chapter title came from, so are we. In this chapter Alex devotes 30+ pages of his ire to the author of a pop-history book a decade old that some rich people seem to like. Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show! Become a patr...

Happy New Year!

Merry Holidays 

This week, we break down the second half of chapter 2 of Alex Jones’ “The Great Reset” in which Alex forgets his own point. This time around we get more out of context quotes, re-use of the most blatant lie of the book thus far, and of course, plagiarism. Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

This week, we take a detour to talk about a figure that should have been featured on this show long before now, convicted criminal and grifter extraordinaire, Jacob Wohl and his partner in crime Jack Burkman. Between the two of them they’ve racked up numerous fake sexual assault press conferences, several felony indictments, and at the time of writing, one conviction. Jacob Wohl made his name earl...

This week, we break down the first half of Chapter 4 of Alex Jones’ book “The Great Reset” titled “Then Came Covid-19” where Alex finally spins out the current variation of his coronavirus conspiracy theory. In the current variation, Alex claims that Covid-19 is a man-made virus genetically engineered by the globalists to bring in their tyrannical one-world government, unless it isn’t in which cas...

This Week, we take a look at some examples of right wing radicalization to the point of violence, not an uncommon topic on this show, but this time we focus in on a specific form of radicalization. In particular today we talk about people who are radicalized by a hatred of the left, in the form it has taken in mainstream right wing media. People radicalized by the everyday figures of Fox News and...

This week, we break down the second half of chapter 3 of Alex Jones’ “The Great Reset” in which Alex engages in the sort of blatant misrepresentations of other people’s words that it really takes a pro to do. Alex spends the majority of this week’s section pretending to have read and understood David Rockefeller’s Memoirs and Zbigniew Brzezinski’s Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technotron...
