Has anyone listened to the Merber and Pappas book club podcast? I couldn’t have chosen two bigger hipster assholes to listen to.

They both have such an extreme need for attention that their running ability isn’t fulfilling. Pappas is willing to take the backdoor to the Olympics and is such a painfully out of touch and juvenile liberal whenever she shares anything with her bravies. Merber is better but he too tries way too hard.

Stinks that these two are running influencers instead of people like Chelimo. Sad!

Alexi is absolutely intolerable so I didn't bother. Merber is sometimes annoying and sometimes okay so I would have considered listening if it were Merber and somebody else, but with Pappas no thank you. Thanks for saving me time.

"Pappas is willing to take the backdoor"

I don't get Merber because he seems really cool on social media and his gf or wife or whatever is pretty attractive. But I saw him do something so cringey in person before when not many people were looking I just thought damn this dude is weird.

You gonna share?

Kind of an ironic post, don't you think? (Considering that you were picking your nose and eating it while typing that?)

Can you imagine, just for a second, that you were actually good enough at anything to be in the spotlight as much as pappas or merber? The mere fact that youre posting this nonsense suggests everything youd do would be cringeworthy. You could argue that if you were actually successful you wouldnt seek attention and wouldnt post on social media but then youd be a recluse like galen rupp, the most disliked distance runner. ?

Pappas isn't bad at 140 characters at a time....but anything more my anxiety soars.

I want to like Merba, but once flotrack went the wrong direction I kinda lost track of him. I was hoping the relay success would've transferred to individual success for the Merbs, but hasn't really happened (the whole success begets success theory).

Anybody reading the current selection (the Kastor book)? Kinda fascinated with the simplicity of the training.

I got down on my leaves, and I began to pray.

I couldn't resist. ;-)

If you don't like Pappas, you don't have to pay attention or write about her. It's not that hard. It's not she is a person that has great influence or power over you and really affects your life.

no thank you there wrote:

Ms. Pappas is an Olympian, Essayist, Filmmaker. Greek national record holder. And an all-around swell lady. And you?

I dont get it.

Pappas is like a former kids show star who is still forcefully peppy and now has a meth habit.

Keeping with the theme, maybe like McKenzie Phillips?

That's not why Rupp is disliked. Actually the likeable thing about Rupp is he puts in the work and doesn't put up a big act for no reason.
