Their live show where they all played “bros” at the Frequency festival completely sucked rear end and you could kind of tell half of them thought they were being funny and clever and the other half were phoning it in and didn’t my care at all, so I never bothered looking into the show because if that’s what they prepared for a big event than I have to assume their regular episodes are also phoned in lazy trash

The episode with Felix where they all do Joe Biden was pretty good. The Frequency one did suck, it was a solid 5 minute bit if you get the reference but the length was just painful.

The earlier ones have a running set of inside jokes like orcs in bootcut jeans but they seem to have dialed back on a lot of them. It's a funny podcast with the note that occasionally the pitch just doesn't really go anywhere or a couple episodes that are referencing an incredibly specific thing and if you don't get it you're lost. There's a lot more good than bad though.

Oh boy a crank to just babble about poo poo like the weird guy who corners you in the kitchen at a party for an hour. Better than amber interviewing some guy destined to get 3% for Orange County school trustee or whatever I guess

It's such a pain to find their episodes because of the name of the podcast, could you share that one?

I tried to go watch Felix’s Elden Ring charity stream on their twitch page.

He’s got the camera pointed like 3 feet above his head and just his nose and baseball cap are visible. Somehow all his audio was funneled into the left stereo track and was very faint.

Finally the Johnny Drama/Turtle/E of the Felix gaming entourage log on and try to fix his poo poo while he is completely helpless. They are 10x louder and more annoying than him so I log off.

I don’t understand how recording voice is his full time job for 6 years and playing video games is his #1 hobby and he could be so bad at this.
