Through a focus on Alex Jones and figures similar to him, this show will provide a humorous and fun layer on top of discussing the context on why liars lie and how they do it.

Dan and Molly proceed to level three of Knowledge Fight Country, where they encounter an unexpected team-up mini-boss: an interview between former rivals turned comrades Owen Shroyer and Ana Kasperian. How could two media figures with so little in common end up having so much in common?

KFC #2: The Least Banned Book In The World (w/ Molly Conger)

2016 was a pivotal year for Dan Friesen. It's the year he became fascinated with Alex Jones, and began watching the election of Donald J. Trump through the lens of Jones' show Info Wars. This obsession led to ten years of podcasting and a thousand episodes trying to answer one question: was Alex Jones as awful a person as he appeared if you actually watched his entire show? The answer was yes. In fact, Jones was worse than even the mainstream media painted him out to be. Now, Dan is expanding this quest to other right-wing media pundits, diving deep into their shows and taking their words at face value in an attempt to put them in their proper context.
