This is a big one. The whole reason there's an IYCMG is because of a podcast about Alex Jones. We're joined by Joe Sposto to talk about Alex's origin story and how he came to be liable for 1.5 billion dollars because he's an opportunist that can't keep his mouth shut.

You can follow Joe on Twitter at: @JoeSposto or check out his podcasts Long Box Heroes & At Odds With Wrestling
