I feel like he's gotten way better, actually. Sometimes he still talks without thinking, or says something a little dumb, but with nowhere near the frequency he did in 2017.
I don't know. I took a break from KF after the election because... well, because I didn't want to hear Alex soaking in it. It's okay to walk away for as long as you need to. The holidays are never a great time for society as a whole; many people are stretched out, impatient, and running on empty. You have to take care of yourself, wonk.
I'm fine with Jordan's channeling my (our?) collective anger. If we are all fucked in some way, at least we have a mouthpiece instead of running screaming into the street ourselves. Intelligent debate is not working for many of us during the Rise of the Cruel and Stupid, and this shit is making me feel all crazypants.
And I will always, always stand by his position that Words Mean Things.
I don’t really get the “he’s Dan’s foil, he represents our unchecked id” argument; the more time I’ve spent in therapy, the more I find him grating
It is possible to feel strongly about something and fight the impulse to shout and shoot for lukewarm one-liners. As I’ve made my way through the back catalog the Marty de Rosa episodes were a treat
“Jordan doesn’t take definitive stances on things” is a WILD take
well, he was a soft yes on white genocide for awhile
Im under the impression op just doesn't get it
I don’t think he’s changed much since 2017. It might just be that you hit your limit. Little breakie time for you?

I think that's just a natural reaction to covering AJ who is always talking without thinking.
I think he has been more reserved in the past year or so...
Stop listening?
THANK YOU DAN
THANK YOU, DAN!
...he does have a definitive stance he just isnt allowed to say it for obvious reasons and hey...I get it.
Counterpoint: no it hasn't though.

It's perfectly fine to take a break from the show or just stop listening completely. I personally take months-long breaks sometimes. It's fine.
No one has ever made this post before. You sir are the first.
Booooo!!!!! Boooooooooo!!! I’d like to say his calmness the past 100 episodes was alarming.
A podcast with two Dan types would be so boring. Jordan is there to represent our hot take emotions, and Dan often talks him off his ledge.
Idk, he identifies himself as a clown and states several times no one should take him seriously. He’s pretty much a wonderful ying to the yang.
Not for everyone tho.

I like it tho
Ive just finished 2017 shows. Jordan's gotten WAY better. At least he doesnt drown out the clips.
I love this podcast more than anything ive listened to in the past year.
Big upside: my family doesnt like it when I answer their insane Trump statements with just "Is it? Does it?"
Do you also complain that sunsets are too pink and the moon is too bright?

Have you listened to any of the first 400 episodes?
And I say Jordan's over the top yelling doesn't go too far enough.
Oh look, it's the obligatory "Jordan doesn't do/say what I want him to" post of the week.
