On this edition of Middle Theory, we offer commentary on the recent appearance of Alex Jones on Joe Rogan's podcast, as well as the media event that became Michael Cohen's testimony before Congress.

We lead off with some bad news for beer drinkers: tests of 20 different alcoholic beverages found evidence of the toxic agent found in a common weedkiller. However, levels were low enough that we shouldn't be concerned... should we?

Also, the recent return of Alex Jones to the Joe Rogan Experience has people talking... and scratching their heads. Nazis running the government, a "breakaway civilization," human body part farms, DMT, fractal elves, and aliens... need we say any more?

Then we shift our attention over to the recent testimony given by Michael Cohen before Congress. Did Cohen and his explosive claims seem credible, or was he lying? Opinions are divided, and we wade into the muck to find out of some semblance of truth can be had.
