I think 535 is the one that's just him complaining about how his family won't let him gorge himself to death.

Felix's stream of conscious river rides are actually my favourite. I find it calming when he starts trying to construct an analogy and then gets sidetracked searching for a specific (but unnecessary) detail.

They’re the best, because he lands the comedy rant while forcing persnickety nerds to listen for minutes without getting to judge or interject. Like when I talk fast and lengthily in person and entertain normies+women and even get a few laughs, but enrage Data Science / Computer Science / Actual Hard Science dorks who want to be the smartest guy in the room. And I suck at public speaking, I’ve taken classes at UCB and gave up because I’m not naturally funny like Felix, so my meager success alone is too much for nerds like me Goons hate ourselves after all 🤙

FlamingLiberal posted:having these very cushy jobs where they can just poo poo out trash content whenever they feel like it On that same note, I listened to the Megan McGriddle 'pie rant' episode a little while ago. At least Kass kinda had a point about the queen, maybe, if you squint hard enough. The pie column reminded me of something I might have written in high school just to have something to turn in.

Many try and fail at the latter, and the former are a select caste among the ruling class.

Yeah you can only really score a bullshit Op-Ed job if you’re a filthy racist hatemonger, there’s a reason there aren’t a plethora of Millenial Dave Barry’s writing cloyingly twee articles about how music today is kinda wacky

The "British food is best" headline is misleading because what he's actually saying is that dining out in Britain is better because you get cuisines from all over the world, as opposed to many European countries where you can struggle to find something that's not the local cuisine (according to him anyway but I can imagine this being very true of France and Italy at least).

Even this is wrong. True, if you are in -London- you can get some good variety, but most other towns will have a curry place and maybe another option if you're lucky. Paris and Rome have plenty of options,, but like they do thin out the further you go away from the capital....where they are replaced by local, good cuisines. But yeah, as someone who worked as ajournalist and had delusions of writing op-eds, that kind of space is reserved for 1- friends of the editor/owner 2- 'Experts' that agree with the owner or have a core message he wants to reinforce, and 3- some celebrity pundit they think might drag clicks in, assuming it doesn't disturb items 1 and 2.

The only one I remember disliking was the 9/11 one where he went on about rap for awhile. It sucked and went nowhere and took up time that could've been used on something more interesting. It's the only time I can remember thinking "this poo poo sucks" listening besides the Matt Taibbi cop ep.

yea I love Felix's rambles but his trying to tie rap losing its edge to 9/11 was a weird rabbit hole, I think he was confusing 'soldier style becoming cool' in the Iraq War's early stages and just general 'rap becomes mainstream especially for suburban white kids with money' and thinking he really found something.
