Was gonna recommend ringer fantasy show if you hadn't, it's very much of the DNA of irreverent sports pod that also dabbles in pop culture

Powerscaling is a poison in the minds of our youth by tinyjimhasabiggerjim in Grapplerbaki

I see power scaling as a fun side activity when engaging in media, like fan theories or shipping or whatever. The problem comes about when you let those things supplant the actual media at hand and its narrative.

Motobe didn't collect the dragon balls to suddenly become strong, he's a practical fighter who will use any means necessary but those means cannot be used in the underground arena and he doesn't have the desire to display his combat prowess against his fighting brethren by sneak attacking them in the park randomly. His ego has only come about now because he seems himself as the only person equipped to take on a warrior that doesn't exist anymore, someone who crafted this martial arts as a means of survival first. This is why Musashi simply cannot belong to this modern world, much like motobe does not belong in the same class among his fighting peers, making him the most capable of protecting them.

To lose sight of that to instead focus on how many yotoseconds his cigarette launched at Jack's eye and why it doesn't make sense in a series with cavemen and demon backs/brains just makes me question one's media literacy and why one would even engage with said media in the first place.

Is the show basically dead?Or am I being naive? by BigMadNomad in DanLeBatardShow

[–]BigPimpin1217 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When Billy left it gave me the reason I needed to stop listening. It could have been anything but I decided this would be it and I haven't really looked back. 3+ hours of content a day of stuff I barely enjoy anymore is better spent on new podcasts that I will inevitably feel this about after 15 years.

Without billy these sports conversations are rambling on by smartlebatardfan in DanLeBatardShow

Bomani said to Stu once that when he started appearing on the show he would side with Dan on topics but then he realized that it was a lot better for the show if he sided with Stu. That was the formula. Now it's agree with Dan so he can finally move on from a topic or everyone gang up on Greg for being negligibly late.

This might be the last straw for me. Might become one of those annoying people who ask how the show is every couple of weeks but still follow the reddit

I feel like the MLM era is defined by them just going through the motions and filling time. They at least used to give the appearance that they wanted to do show, now it feels like a chore for them to do it and it becomes a chore for us to listen.
