-uses fake names at hospitals due to no money
-has horrible credit (according to him)

quite a list for a high functioning alcolic at 35 or however old he is.
First of all, however much of the show is about it, Keith and Chemda is about Keith and Chemda and very few of us have any real insight to that relationship. We have what they give us to base our conclusions on.

Second, I'll just go down your list as someone who isn't an alcoholic. Mostly because it amuses me to do so.

-never had a real career outside of this podcast Which has lasted for more than most radio show hosts gigs and was a pioneering show in the world of podcasting. Come on, if that's your argument, Bill Gates never really had a job outside of Microsoft.
-does the podcast at bizarre times of the day as it fits his schedule, not punching a clock. Who would punch said clock who didn't have to do so?
-shits in very bizarre locations ... and makes comedy gold out of these occurances. I suppose we could start a conspiracy theory around the fact that everytime Keith shits somewhere funny it shows up on the show. If he'd made it to NYC a few months earlier, he might have taken a shit in the WTC which could lead to all sorts of shenanigans for KATG listens later when they played WTC Jenga.
-jerked off in the bathroom at a CHILDRENS party Hell, I've done that before. I grew up with dozens of younger cousins and it was always somebody's fucking birthday party. After a while you just go into the bathroom and pound one out to break up the boredom. If it keeps you sane and you wash your hands afterwards, what in the world is wrong with it?
-hates a guy and actually thinks that someone that had his shit from years ago may still have the drunken ramblings of a homeless person that he believes will become americas best selling novel. You've never really created anything you think has value, have you? That's sad. I'm sorry.
-has never been able to publish his novel after years of fucking around with it It took years for Hunter Thompson and Earnest Hemingway to get their first novels published. Oh wait, they were both alcoholics. Let's see, it took three years for Stephen King's first novel to be picked up and another year for it to make it into print.
-uses fake names at hospitals due to no money As opposed to doing it for other reasons? To me, it would be worse to use a fake name at a hospital because you just didn't want to pay, but then again, Keith isn't much of a rapper.
-has horrible credit (according to him) Pick ten writers / comedians / artists at random. If more than half of them have good credit at age 35, I'll buy you a DVD from www.KATG.com/store.
