That's pretty much it. Haven't been able to get into chapo as much lately. Felix's attempts to force some meme him and his gamer bros came up with just doesn't land most of the time.

I could listen to Tanya talk about tricking her nephews into liking crystals and rocks forever though.

Very nice to have a leftist podcast that feels like its hosted by real people.

Check out Trillbillies if you haven't. They're good folks.

    At risk of effort-posting on Felix, you can tell he’s having some difficulty figuring out what his “next Step” is going to be. :matt: and :will: are styling themselves as socdem Ken Burns and Charlie Rose, respectively. Felix flopped with his YouTube documentary and never really hit his stride with The Blago interview. He can’t spend his entire life gaming, even for good causes and he knows it.

      Disagree, both Fighting in the age of Loneliness and the blago interview were great.

      Imo probably a lot of the reason Matt Christman did three other podcast series is to pay for his divorce.

      Of all the things to criticize Felix for, Fighting in the Age of Loneliness isn't it.

        Yeah honestly, his pod performance has been lackluster for sure but FAT made me cry the first time I watched it. Truly soul wrenching

          The problem is what makes it good isn't Felix, it's Jon Bois, who has gone on to make an absolute butt load of fantastic content. It really is a shame.

        My intention wasn’t to say that it was bad, but that it wasn’t the viral yT hit that would propel him to stardom.

      I don't really think they have anything to prove I just think his humor is too irony poisoned sometimes and maybe even too online for me I guess. I also feel like a lot of the time he punches down for no real reason. Not as much on the pod more on twitter but yeah.

      Edit: I do like Hinge Points. That has been neat. Not to be all negative.
