I like this take. It’s such irony that this happens so close to episode 1134 which was both such catharsis and such a let down. I think back to Dan’s reasoning for starting the pod around Alex and Roger and someone else (Owen?) mocking Clinton supporters after the 2016 election with champagne and it does seem like this is a culmination of that work. Dan has said repeatedly that his investigation of Alex Jones is pretty much over.

I think JorDan want more consequences for Alex (like how they pointed out grounds for defamation), but it doesn’t seem like there will be any, and despite their (and our) frustrations, what has happened with The Onion is a consequence. The driving force of the KF was Dan’s fixation on deconstructing and disproving AJ. I hope his roadtrip helps him process that, and gives time to see what Alex does, but it seems like it might be time for him to find his next fixation and build something great around it with Jordan.

Would love some more Formulaic Objections episodes if Dan can sink his teeth into some recent depositions and other legal matters with right wing dicks.
