I'm not an E1 guy or even much of a felix guy but their princess diana episode is one of the funniest things I've ever heard and pretty much the only podcast thing I've relistened to beyond cum town bits on youtube

I love it when Felix comes on E1 and just repeats the same bit he's been obsessed with on chapo for the last month over and over and that's the joke every time. Come on, I think the guys funny on chapo but he's easily the weakest part of any E1 ep he's on. Or any of the streams he pops up on.

i hate that youre right

man I thought you guys were exaggerating about this episode. Zenguya is dumb enough to be funny once or twice, but they really thought they'd struck gold with it

it feels like a copy and paste of a mediocre e1 episode without ever being funny. gonna listen to a good episode to fix the vibes

The equivalent E1 episode about the group being reunited decades in the future was great just for the slow reveal of what the argument that broke them up was about

Remember when he was reading knausgaard and he did the knausgaard impersonation on two different E1 eps after doing it for months on chapo?

Also I've always been right.


The True Story of the Terra Haute Bathroom Club was one of the funniest things I've heard in forever. E1 misses a lot but when it hits it hits.

What’s the best point Felix has made in the last, I dunno, six months? I feel like Will is the man on the street, saying normal things and breaking down how John Q Citizen might feel about a current topic. Matt then rambles incoherently about the psychic and extra-dimensional implications of the subject at hand vis a vis whether or not he’s smoking jays or eating edibles, and Felix just blithely makes references to whatever Wikipedia page he’s currently got bookmarked on FireFox.

Just been a while since Felix made anything approaching a good point, IMHO, and he’s only funny by accident, like when he said Kanye is obviously mentally ill because he’s so annoying.

I am going to disintegrate you with a full power Final Flash.

I don't know if the ep gets better but I listened to the first like 15 or 20mins of it on the way to and from work and it was extremely unfunny in a bland boring way. Women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like spending an hour hashing through some dumb premise with my friends, just riffing on what’s being put out there. That’s how this episode felt, and it made my friday work shift feel roughly 1 hour shorter so it gets a thumbs up from me. It’s no more complex than that.

Felix plays the Quentin Tarantino movies of games: very popular, critically praised (by actually academic writers), obviously cool to anyone who enjoys the medium, fun, etc

Yeah he really needs to team up with Jon Bois again, FitAoL was awesome like all of Bois' stuff

There's a reason basically every higher up & big wig in the tech industry has a "no screens allowed" policy for their own children, they have literally decades of concrete data from their own internal research that basically proves that its driving us all completely insane, stunting our emotional and social development and giving teenagers dysmorphia and eating disorders and driving them to suicide because the bullying and FOMO literally never, ever stops. Just dig around literally any interview with any tech entrepreneur or Apple engineer when the subject of screentime or children comes up, it's across the board universally "not my kids".

You need a smartphone to live but setting it to "only contact me about jobs/work stuff on my work burner or if you're a friend of mine" helps your quality of life

I think the imminent apocalypse that literally everyone is aware of but nobody will do anything about is a much greater source of mental illness than the phones.

idk to me it seems the smart phone has been pretty bad for everyones brains through social media, millenials and genxers are probably the least affected having grown up with the internet gradually but it's wreaked havoc on boomers and zoomers brains. Like I wish I didn't need one because of how invasive the technology is on my life, but it's just too useful at the same time
