Summary
Jack continues to tell an increasingly (and understandably) resentful Daniel all about insidious YouTube ‘comedian’ and political commentator Jimmy Dore, detailing his ‘leftist’ or ‘progressive’ version of reactionary politics via accounts of his slimy transphobic coverage of the Lia Thomas story (leading to a bizarre open challenge to all trans man basketball players), his frothingly misogynistic coverage of Taylor Lorenz’ interview about the harassment she faces, and his insane conversation with deeply silly and unpleasant Stalinist Caleb Maupin, in which they free associate (based on a ridiculous Grayzone article) about ‘Breadtube’ being run by the CIA. Along the way, it becomes very clear to see that their version of socialism is the national kind. Also features a discussion about Libs of Tik Tok.

| 0:00.0 | Hello listeners, Jack here popping in at the start to tell you that owing to technical snaffos |
| 0:05.0 | that we had while recording this episode entirely my fault, I should stress. |
| 0:08.8 | My side of the conversation sounded like I believe the technical phrase is stir-fried ass. |
| 0:15.0 | Now I've done a lot of monkeying with it in audacity and it still doesn't sound great, |
| 0:20.9 | but it's as good as it's ever going to sound, so I present it to you and I ask for your |
| 0:27.1 | fullbearance. Normal service will be resumed next time, most importantly we won't be talking |
| 0:32.3 | about Jimmy Dore anymore, which will be nice. This is I don't speak German. |
| 0:50.3 | I'm Jack Graham, he, him, and in this podcast I talk to my friend Daniel Harper, also he, him, |
| 0:56.4 | who spent years tracking the far right in their safe spaces. In this show we talk about them |
| 1:02.6 | and about the wider reactionary forces feeding them and feeding off them. Be warned, this is |
| 1:08.2 | difficult subject matter, content warnings always apply. |
| 1:28.9 | All right and welcome to episode 108 of I don't speak German, the podcast in which I normally |
| 1:34.7 | tell my friend Jack Graham about terrible people on the internet and instead we are now in our |
| 1:39.9 | two-part episode in which Jack is doing the same to me. People noticed in the last episode that I |
| 1:46.9 | was a little bit under the weather, I am still a little bit under the weather unfortunately, |
| 1:51.8 | but we are we are going to press on because we are going to continue to talk about Jimmy Dore |
| 1:57.8 | for some reason. It's pretty much entirely because I just did too much research, so we ended |
| 2:05.8 | up with so much material and it seemed like a shame to waste it. Of course if you believe the |
| 2:09.6 | Jimmy fans stopped by the IDFG Twitter, it's because he lives rent free in my head or something? |
| 2:14.8 | I had died of that. That's what they all say, the fanboys. You didn't do your research obviously. |
| 2:22.3 | I love the one who tried to explain that we hadn't done the Biolabs research, which |
| 2:27.5 | I didn't do a whole lot of Biolabs research, but then it didn't actually explain the Biolabs |
