So, Berto, have you heard of Alex Jones?

Internet personality, TV, radio personality, Alex Jones.

Do you know who that is?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Honestly, I'm tired of this.

I think it's all a conspiracy.

Can you put your shirt back on, by the way?

So I thought we would talk about the psychology of Alex Jones. What do you say?

Let's do it. This is the Psychology in Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I'm a therapist

and her professor. My name is Umberto Castania. I like to cook hot dogs, but not too well

where they get crunchy. I hate the crunchy outside.

This goes out to an anonymous patron who has been asking us to do this.

He's actually a $20 patron, so this goes out to you.

Now, all right, so let's summarize.

For people who don't know who he is, let's summarize.

Because actually, I was only peripher don't know who he is, let's summarize. Because actually,

I was only peripherally aware of who he was prior to doing a mini deep dive on him. He's very

popular among a certain group of people. So you've never listened to him, like concertedly.

No, not considerably. I've certainly seen clips and whatnot. And, yeah. I mean, I'm about a, like before doing a mini deep dive, I was like, well, isn't he just kind of like the new Rush Limbaugh? Isn't he, because he kind of looks like Limbaugh. Right. He has a, he has the same kind of, I don't know, cadence of talk. And he talks like Limba dialed up to an 11. Right. He has the same kind of, I don't know, cadence of talk.

And he talks like Limbaugh dialed up to an 11.

Right.

So I just thought, oh, it's just another right-wing, you know, sort of dude.
