Also, wasn't there some sort of thing at PF where he griped at you or George about not having veggie foods?

Paraphrasing from the story I heard:

Stephan: "I'd normally never eat this kind of stuff, but it's all they have here."
Other person: "There's a salad bar down that way..."
Stephan" "But you can't have a salad as a meal!"

While I agree with him, (I fucking hate most healthy salads tho) it seems a little bitchy.

I would like to see a link to what led Mike to think that, though, because I know he's a sharp cat and I'm sure there's some sort of misunderstanding.

Also, I am not a member of a cult.

Where's the Reader's Digest version?  I'm not listening to all that to make a judgment call, and I'm surprised Shaw would.

Also, him and his wife seemed to be mentally abusing their child.

From what I've heard.

You left out the best part-- Osborne's response.

I know Stef loves to emotionally bully and shame listeners or individuals he debates, so I hate to think how he treats his kid.

I've wondered, how will Stef react if his parenting methods fail?

http://wp.alexjonespodcasts.com/2011/april-2011/monday-7-11-2011-the-alex-jones-show-with-stefan-molyneux

Listened. (Skipped through the rest of the show. Can't handle Alex Jones)

Play by play:

1. Alex called him a conspiracy theorist for thinking that economic recovery wasn't possible and he agreed.
2. Molyneux said that economic cycles have happened before.
3. Alex mentions Bin Laden corpse, Molyneux grumbles dismissively.
4. They speculate on G/Kadaffi having gold as a reason USG attacked Libya.
5. Molyneux talks about control of fiat currency.
6. They talk about TSA patdowns continuing.
7. Talk about politicians being sociopaths.
8. Calls government programs excuses for raising taxes.
9. AJ quotes Darth Vader verbatim multiple times.
10. Talk about European financial troubles.
11. Talk about end of world and 2012. Molyneux ignores it and talks about violence of the system.
12. Teachers cheating tests for rewards.
13. Talking about drug wars and legalization and government arming dealers.
14. AJ calls him an extremest.
15. YOU FUCKING OWE ME FOR GETTING ME TO LISTEN TO ALEX JONES WHARGARBL.
16. Molyneux plugs site.
17. Talk about governments as tax farms.
18. AJ mentions Bilderbergers and "Austerity"
19. Molyneux sez "You know the system is about to crash when Libertarians are invited to run the show." and suggests against being at the helm of the ship when it goes down.
20. AJ sez RON PAUL RON PAUL RON PAUL
21. Long who gives a shit clip of Geitner.
22. Molyneux comments on bailouts. Talks about gooberment mentioning "Sacrifice"
23. AJ talks about some crap with additional "voluntary" money theft crap. Molyneux agrees that they are "Out of control" and sidesteps conspiracy comments.
24. Molyneux sidesteps AJ talking about not having heat in the winter. Mentions people eating Tang because they have no money.
25. Molyneux mentions West built on economic growth.
26. Privatization of gooberment as additional taxation.
27. Mortgage fraud bank shakedown. AJ talks a bunch of crap about quadrillions of dollars.
28. Taking calls.
29. Precious metals and stocking up talk with first caller.
30. AJ mentions government staging crises - Molyneux mentions Golf of Tonkin, WMDs, war in Iraq.
31. Some sarcasm and joking.
32. Lady talking about false flag shit. AJ talking about gun shipments. Lady goes on about false flags against christian protests in DC. AJ rants a bit. Molyneux talks about military funding and tyranny and sidesteps all the false flag shit.
33. AJ mentions CIA giving nuke info crap to Iran? Blowing up Chicago? Molyneux sez nothing.
34. Caller with RON PAUL campaign slogans. Very dumb. Talks about Rockefellers and Rothschilds.
35. Show ends, short extra bit follows.
36. LAST FIVE MINUTES
37. Caller is SICK OF IT. Molyneux sez "TESTIFY BROTHER" No good food because of GMO. GRASS FED BEEF.
38. Call about people adopting AJ crazy it their shows.
39. Molyneux makes weird metaphor about corn syrup and fatties. Applies it to reason and evidence.
40. Caller hung up on.
41. Caller calls Molyneux "Steven" and starts talking about 14th amendment bullshit. Molyneux asks WTF he's talking about and agrees that the President is a dictator but sidesteps the other stuff.
42. They yell. End of show.

Conclusion, that show had nothing with Molyneux addressing conspiracies or promoting them beyond things that have already been proven to be true in the real world.

Don't have time to listen to the second one, but if you can point out specific times I'll listen.

Alex Jones tries several times to drag him down the kook well and I'd say he dodged every time.

From what I've heard.

Any specific examples? I dunno about his relationship to his child* beyond knowing that sorta the entire schtick of his site and shows and videos is all about raising children without violence and abuse.

*Also what he says about it, obviously.

Like I said, I'm bad at recalling exactly what happened. Something involving candy.
