Loved their most recent episode on Bari Weiss and the military using e-gaming to recruit people to the army. If you like Felix, it’s the episode for you.
I mean it isn’t “Hot Couch Episode” Felix but still very good.

Robert Evans is kind of a drama queen. He has been to war zones and reported on them but he’s a bit caught up in his own bubble of anti-fascist organizing and tends to wildly overestimate the importance of everything going on inside that bubble. I followed him on Twitter for a while and unfollowed him when I got sick of daily breathless reports on how three guys with Iron Cross tattoos who beat up some antifa dude constitute a clear and present danger to the security of the United States.
(edit: haven’t listened to that podcast so maybe it’s good, but not sure Evans is a guy I trust to give me the lowdown on how serious things are getting)

Yeah after listening some more I mostly agree.
He definitely can get annoying on twitter but I mostly ignore that. He’s just one of the people who goes to protests a lot and streams, sometimes he’s at protests where I don’t know any of the other people streaming from them so he’s my default then.
Hearing Michael Brooks died. He seemed like a good guy and was pretty funny, funniest Obama impression I’ve ever heard.

Ok this one is hitting me.
And I can’t find it, it might be locked, but ep42 with Felix devotes 20 minutes to Obama impressions.
He was 35 or 36 I believe.

Michael’s sister was on the Majority Report today. She said he died of an unexpected blood clot in his throat. I post this in case people thought, like I did, based on the vague wording in articles that it was suicide or OD. It wasn’t. Just a random tragedy that could happen to anybody. He was 37 years old.

And I gotta read this right before bed.
Never heard of the guy but the back and forth with Felix was fantastic.

OK I’m listening to The Dropout and this guy Liz poached from Apple just said when he went to Theranos he left 15,000 shares of Apple on the table.
ahahahahahahhahaahahahahaha that makes me so happy
I know the guy you’re talking about. He seemed like a pretty good guy honestly, also he’s rich to the extent that 5.5 million is down the back of the couch money.
GOAT TrueAnon episode. The Middle Ages bit towards the end killed me.

Seems like something he’d brag about.
