You ever eat something so goddamn delicious you momentarily lose your mind?
Neither have we. But apparently Infowars conspiracy-theorist-in-chief Alex Jones has. In a deposition during day two of his custody trial, an attorney working for his ex-wife Kelly insisted that Jones forgot what grade his kids were in after he consumed a bowl of chili.
Jones's custody battle with Kelly over their three children started off strangely and went weirder from there.
On Monday, his lawyer argued that Alex Jones plays a character on Infowars called Alex Jones. That went down well. By Tuesday, however, we were learning some truly memorable things about him. Here are a few highlights from the second day of the trial gleaned from reporters watching along.
1. Jones gets chili amnesia.
Newman says that in deposition, Alex Jones said he couldn't recall basic facts about kids, because, "I had a big bowl of chili for lunch."

2. He's gone shirtless during a family therapy session.
Jones is known for his shirtless rants, but it turns out he strips down when the cameras are off too.

3. He exhibits personality disorder 'tendencies.'
That's according to a court-appointed representative charged with sussing out the best interests of a child during a divorce.
Guardian ad lidem can't recall if Alex Jones got a full diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder. Just remembers 'tendencies.'

4. A clip exists of Jones and a Hillary Clinton dartboard.
This video, reportedly of Jones and two of his sons throwing darts at a picture of Clinton's face, wasn't allowed to be shown to the jury.
