Today, Dan and Jordan take a breakie into the past to see how things are going with Alex in simpler times. In this installment, Alex does an absolutely terrible job of covering the bombing of the Marriott in Jakarta and takes some calls from some real weirdos.

Detailed Show Notes

Topics covered:

• Alex misreports the circumstances of both the recent bombing in Jakarta as well as the 2002 bombings in Bali
• Alex fails to provide any context regarding advance warnings about bombings in Indonesia
• Alex misreports a Guardian story about Saudi Arabia falsely accusing British embassy employees of carrying out bombings
• Alex's source regarding the US embassy planning to withdraw employees
• Australian police report about the bombings
• Alex uses a flimsy source to report that the US embassy canceled reservations at the Marriott in Jakarta hours before the bombing
