I remember listening to a podcast making fun of some book he wrote about how to fail at everything and still succeed. Like the guy just lied himself to success during an era where you could get a job by farting into a jar.

The fact that so many “comedic entertainment” figures from that time turned out to be chuds just speaks to that. They made it big back when there were no standards and now that no one finds them interesting because we’ve got better shit, they blame “woke” for their lack of relevance instead of doing any sort of self-criticism.

You should for sure be lying to your boss all the time, in a vacuum that is good advice

I hadn’t listened in a while, went back and maaaan their sponsors went from like five “skip forward 15 seconds” presses to like TWELVE and my podcast program skips forward more seconds for subsequent presses. I get the need for money but woooooof.

Doesn't help that The Dollop does the same schtick but funnier.
