That whole Alex Jones conspiracy theory stuff reminded me of this quote by Alan Moore: “The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless.” - Alan Moore
I literally had no idea that Jon Ronson was the guy who did the Bohemian Grove filming. That’s the best thing I’ve learned from this already excellent RHLSTP. Great stuff.
Cali Braxus it was. As well. It was him with Alex Jones. It’s all made clear in the first five minutes or so of this episode.

@@mattgreek1066 Alex Jones never said he done had him a buncha RonJonson to hand on that hallowed day when his Bug-out day training kicked in, and he effected a covert incursion into the camp of the enemy. He claimed to have blended in with the natives, told how he gathered what intel he could. How he witnessed. First hand. The worst depravity, Taking the occasional grainy still of some big fire chicken or some shit they was doin'. So I believe. They're saying Elvis used to kick back with them boys too. Pfft, He wouldna. That day. When Alex Jones really was a true blue monkey shinin' big fat, pink skinned He-ro.
it was on all the comedy rounds when 'Woolies' closed up shoppe. Pick-a-Mix, children's shoes, paint supplies but no paint, it was a while back, before most of yours time.
Yeah, tell me about it, like when they all started the 'Do you remember Sainsbury's?' chat that was... hang on, what year is this. Oh right, erm, haha just joking and stuff. Yep just joking.
To those who've not seen the documentary, Alex Jones's idea of preppy clothes was a green shirt, beige slacks and khaki baseball cap. The way Ronson is describing it, Alex walked out of the changing room looking like Brideshead Revisited. Also, Alex concocted some preppy talk to help him blend in with the elites of Bohemian Grove where he'd walk around with his collaborator talking about the problems involved with further miniaturising microprocessors.
Wow. Who remembers Richard Herring doing a bit about the comedians doing a nostalgia 'who remembers Spangles' bit while Spangles were again available'? Those were the days.
Richard Digance. That's the first comedian I remember remembering Spangles, back in the 1980s. Entirely possible they were still available, 'cos there's a song of his on here called "200 Remembers" in which he reels off a load of random stuff from the past, including Spangles and various other items of confectionery, some of which are still available to this very day. The song contains the line "Does anyone remember Love Hearts?"
The first comedian I recall doing remembering Spangles jokes is Richard Digance, so it was probably in the late 80's. He did it as part of his Remembers bit.
Great stuff, but I don't understand the numbering. The last one was #200 (Adam Buxton), in which case, this should be #201. If you include the 2 Bristol podcasts at the slapstick festival, then this should be #203. What's going on? Pedantically yours.
you've missed the one in wolves with Sathnam Sanghera which was 201 but audio only - the Slapstick Festival ones aren't entirley RHLSTP and so are specials (Goodies again audio only) go to acast dot com slash rhlstp
Great fan of Herring, and Ronson, my other fave episodes are David Mitchel, his wife, and also Graham Linehan, stu Lee, and Mortimer and adam Buxton and Rich Adayde, probably my fave was the Linehan one
my dad always had a pkt of spangles in his pocket when i was a kid, im 57 richard, so im like you i have very similar memories, . I loved spangles, they were square and a bit like fruit polos but without the hole. The podcast is great. Jon ronson is brill, thanks for your podcastsl, you are a genius richard x
I remember Spangles being sold again in the 90s. I don't know about their current availability, but no one seems to remember their (relatively) recent revival.
@@abegarfield543 Bit of an update. There's a shop near me that sells them. I don't think they went anywhere. I'm convinced that people just reach adulthood and no longer eat sweets or eat less sweets then presume they're no longer available.
@@bobtheshorkie1987 Autocorrect is a bastard. It's changed 'does' to 'dies' on me more than once. I hope l never have to type "I hope he/she does" It might get me in trouble.
It WOULD be nice if there was more journalism. And satire. And respect for the Reithian principles of TV. But I don't see how google could profit from that so I guess all the drones on their phones will continue to ruin the world for the rest of us.
I do like Richard Herring...well the childish 15 year old politically naive version of me does.This guys comedy has not changed in 25 years and that is a rare thing...a link to the past.Thanks Richard.
Do you remember the first time you saw a comedian trying to do material about other comedians remembering spangles that wasn't successful because nobody in the audience could remember spangles?
It's stange how everyone thinks they're not available anymore. Spangles never went anywhere, you can still get them. I had some a months ago, there's a shop near me that does them.
Love Jons work,read everything by him,haven't listened to the new one yet,sounds interesting. But his attribution of racism and islamaphobe to Alex Jones is disappointing.I'd like to hear an example. He apologized innumerable times for questioning Sandyhook,but he never terrorized anybody.
@@Herring1967 it's a comedy requirement. it gets you warmed up for your real material. how can you not poke fun at a Bloated Orange Russian Cock Holster painted up in bad foundation and under eye concealer as a HighDrama DragQueen in DayLight ManDrag. easy pickin's
@@mistacoz Can't I just leave a UA-cam comment to say I don't like it? Discounting RHLSTP in its entirety by "pissing off" seems a bit like an overreaction. Or is this your own personal echo chamber that I've stumbled into uninvited? Mate.
Barry Chuckle Is Dead no just anyone with sense sees Trump as a demented psychopath that SHOULD be the target of at the very least derision and ridicule. As you can see, the actual creator of this podcast doesn’t agree with you but you conveniently ignored that... mate.
No. I'm sorry, I'm busy this week, I won't be sitting in for Ronson. ever. some people like him, that's nice. for me, he's a glove with blades being dragged across my cranial cavity with rancid goo being pumped into my ears. it's just terrible there are better ways to self harm, so this week, I'll take a pass, see you next time.
I think it might have been Victor Lewis Smith in "Buygones" that did Spangles. He did the Magic Robot quiz game as well. And the Stylophone. The golden age of nostalgia.
I could listen to Jon Ronson talk all day.
Love Jon Ronson, could listen to him all day long. Even when I read his books I have his voice in mind narrating!
What a brilliant episode. Ronson is such a joy to listen to.
These are brilliant, well done Richard, great to see them as videos
Great start to the new series, Rich!
I love Ron Jonson..... i'm a massive fan.
I think this has been one of the best RHLSTP
Ronson is my therapy 👊🙏🤘
Jon Ronson. This has made me realise I should support Ryslip. Financially.
Teabags.
I knew l needed to buy something
but couldn't remember what.
Thanks for the reminder, Rich.

They were essentially
Peanut M&Ms but a bit bigger and all the same colour.
I'm sure I didn't imagine them.
@@abegarfield543 "Treets", with two Es. Google that.

Ah, my mistake.
It's been nearly 40 years since I've had them.
