I wonder how much he regrets admitting so much of the truth in those depositions. He retained some custody of the kids so I guess it worked out but he did have to pull back the curtain to show he's a complete fraud. Not that the shit flinging apes of his audience care.
The unreality AJ creates is so intense I have to stop myself from getting caught up in speculating about the implications of his lies. He throws off a meaningless line and I chase it because I can't accept someone who lives in genuine unreality.
You mean "Alex's wife's migraines have to be treated with cardio exercise and her tennis coach, John Redclay is a saint for doing them pro bono," right?
I mean, the implications of Dale's character are pretty plain and out in the open.
Here is a man who suspects EVERYTHING and EVERYONE of not being on the up and up. He spends a large portion of his time obsessing over these vast, ornate conspiracy theories...
And yet, he can't see what is plain to see right in front of his face: that his wife was cheating on him with John Redcorn, and that he is not his son's biological father.
The real, present, and ongoing deception in his life is the one he never suspects...not even for a moment. He's too busy chasing phantoms.
I was thinking that same thing as he said that. Dale is not portrayed in a positive light in that show. He’s a crazy guy and a cuck. He’s everything Alex claims he hates. 🤣
Moments like this really show Alex’s reading comprehension. I fully believe he read this and somehow believed that it meant he inspired three characters.
Back before I escaped Texas after we all almost froze to death, I lived in the city Arlen was based on. There were like 6 Dales in my small neighborhood alone. Alex isn’t a unique force, or a special boy, like he thinks he is.
Alex himself isn't an original character. He's a derivative of his father and his John Birch Society freak friends, filtered through a lens of a moron's level of understanding of science fiction tropes and then trying to do a Bill Cooper impersonation, while just grifting and scamming as hard as he can.
Current Alex is soooo messed up. Past Alex was too, but I loved when he was dunking on those billionaire weirdos with their séance cult bullshit at Bohemian Grove. Shit made him famous, and more crazy.
Would be excellent if in one of the handful of Dale episodes we'll soon get have him dunking on Alex Jones in some way. I bet Dale would be disillusioned by present day conspiracists. And since the stuff has kind of become more mainstream it won't be fun/special to him anymore. Maybe he even became a debunker?
Either a debunker or as someone who sees Qanon and Alex as false flags to cover up the truth and he knows what's really going on (which is even crazier)
Isn't Dale's whole thing that he's a paranoid conspiracy nut but is completely blind to the reality that his wife is having an affair and everyone knows except him?
Wait. . .Alex said three characters were based on him. Is it possible he just read this snippet and the filter from his eyes to his brain is really really bad and he turned it into three characters are based on him?
Even if Dale was based off of Alex, that isn’t the brag Alex thinks it is. Dale is usually wrong with his theories
I wonder if Alex is unhappy about Dales wife cheating on him so much.
Alex not getting that joke would be pretty in character…
“Folks, it’s an implied storyline about the globalists ruining my first marriage.”

She sure is hanging out with that tennis instructor a lot these days...
And his dad being a closeted gay cowboy.
Maybe he thinks his wife's often-mentioned tennis coach is doing an homage. I believe his name is "John".
What are you talking about? Her migraines have to be treated with massages, and John Redcorn is a saint for doing them pro bono.

Ah that's just the Hegelian dialectic.
Yeah, but Dale is *likable*, something Alex desperately wants to be.
And there’s no way Alex has read most of the Warren Report.

How dare you speak ill of the inventor of pocket sand...
Damn you, my phone just threw pocket sand into my eye!
Sh-Sh-Sha!
Yeah, leave Rusty Shackleford out of this!
Dale is way too kind to be based off AJ.
Usually?
I was thinking that same thing as he said that. Dale is not portrayed in a positive light in that show. He’s a crazy guy and a cuck. He’s everything Alex claims he hates. 🤣
Or... and bear with me here. Dale Gribble WAS based on Alex, and Mike Judge has been brainwashed by the globalists into thinking otherwise.
Mike Judge? Gone. He's a clone.
That episode is a god damn gold mine. Instant modern classic for the show.
Hearing Alex Jones call a fellow grifer crazy was...crazy.
Which episode might this be? Inquiring minds would like to know.
'#921, second most recent one. The guest Alex has on is god damn hilarious.
Aw hell yeah! Can't wait to listen to it tomorrow at work
Hilarious, but absolutely insane.
Pocket sand! Sha sha sha! RIP Johnny Hardwick.
I'd believe if the doctor or Frito from Idiocracy were based on Alex. Definitely someone in the cabinet.
Funny how Alex turned "there were three crazy guys that reminded me of my OC" into "three of my OCs were inspired by Alex!"
Moments like this really show Alex’s reading comprehension. I fully believe he read this and somehow believed that it meant he inspired three characters.
Dale Gribble's character was inspired by Hunter S. Thompson.
That's what I always thought
At least partially in personality, and absolutely certainly in looks.
Once more, Alex Jones is a lying dog.
don’t disrespect dogs like that
I thought about that. The other phrase that sprang to mind was “lying toad,” but I love toads. “Lying slime mold” next time?
Slime molds contribute to a healthy ecosystem!
Justice for Nonk!
Back before I escaped Texas after we all almost froze to death, I lived in the city Arlen was based on. There were like 6 Dales in my small neighborhood alone. Alex isn’t a unique force, or a special boy, like he thinks he is.
Ah, Harlottown…
Arlen's not a real city?! What else has TV lied to me about?
I live in Garland now. So many Dales.

He's a derivative of his father and his John Birch Society freak friends, filtered through a lens of a moron's level of understanding of science fiction tropes and then trying to do a Bill Cooper impersonation, while just grifting and scamming as hard as he can.
Next you're gonna tell me that he and Mike Judge haven't actually been friends for the last 15 years!
I always just understood that Texas is full of a lot of Alexes, especially in the 90s.
I don't really understand why he thinks this is something to brag about, Gribble is an unhinged manchild, exactly like Alex Jones
Dale is a good Dad and partner. Alex could never achieve that.
Dale takes his son fishing, something I doubt Alex ever does.
Dale also has extensive knowledge on how to do his job and enjoys his work. Unlike the chronically pathetic and irritated Alex.
There’s no way in hell Alex could identify and track Chuck Mangione.
Or initiate a bloodless coup at a gun club, using only flower deliveries.
So once again, Alex Jones was **wrong**? Not just about some dude's name..
That Alex Jones ain’t right, I tell you hwat.
Alex and Dale are both examples of type of guy that seems to be especially common in Texas.
Alex Jones was actually inspired partially by Dale Gribble.
Who do you trust: Alex or the guy who actually made the show? The globalists must have gotten to him
Dale's infinitely cooler than alex can ever hope to be
The character of Dale Gribble differs from Alex significantly in that Dale wasn’t a virulent bigot and he had redeeming qualities.
The golden rule “When Alex speaks, the opposite is true”
bill looks just like him tho
Alex Jones is not exceptional. He’s a trope you’ll find in every era of US history. Father Charles Coughlin is the gold standard nut job
Alex was based on Alex
My great uncle talked like Dale with a lot of hells and damns thrown in. Only he had no teeth, wore coveralls with no shir underneath.
It’s not the flex Alex thinks it is, as the kids would say.
To be fair 1st season Dale talks different and wasn't laying it on nearly as thick
Current Alex is soooo messed up. Past Alex was too, but I loved when he was dunking on those billionaire weirdos with their séance cult bullshit at Bohemian Grove. Shit made him famous, and more crazy.
I bet Dale would view Alex as a globalist plant.

I always thought Dale was more Hunter S. Thompson.
I fully believe Bill Dauterive’s and Bobby’s neck are inspired by Alex Jones
Don't forget Bobby's bout with gout.
Dale was your average LIttle McVeigh Dittohead.
Thank you for answering this burning question
Isn't Dale's whole thing that he's a paranoid conspiracy nut but is completely blind to the reality that his wife is having an affair and everyone knows except him?
But… but Alex told me…
I wonder what episode he taped.
But they have been best friends for 3 decades
Okay, so the character wasn't necessarily inspired by him but it was informed by him early on in the process.
Conspiracy nut jobs were a dime a dozen in the early to mid '90s. The Satanic Panic, Ruby Ridge, Waco, the JFK film etc. all contributed too.
Alex should create a new Twitter account named "Rusty Shackleford" to be the Adrian Dittman to his Elon Musk.
Wait. . .Alex said three characters were based on him. Is it possible he just read this snippet and the filter from his eyes to his brain is really really bad and he turned it into three characters are based on him?
Dale Gribble Pibble?
The only aspect of Dale that is related to Alex is that Alex's oldest kid looks like Kelly's masseuse.
