The Snark Tank Podcast: #78 - Space Jam 2 is Awful

[@Brimbo]

Like 80% of this podcast is one of them (ok Sweeny or Chris) making some outlandish, immediately disprovavable claim with absolute confidence and the other two being baffled by it.

[@ArkhamJacks]

Idk I feel like Derrick definitely talks out of his ass more than the other 2

[@Acefreezies]

@@ArkhamJacks He talks out of his ass more but Sweeny just says the craziest shit then gets confused when no one else agrees

[@yowatchie]

@@Acefreezies seriously though, no one talks out of their ass like Sweeney. Seriously. Every podcast the worst takes are undoubtedly made by him. Even Just look at his Twitter. Hell, Lyle as a guest said he was always wrong. Chris and Derek have their fair share but good god Sweeney just says the most wild, easily dismantlable shit.

Put it this way, if one never attempts to leave to town they grew up in does that equate to living your life in a fish tank? figuratively speaking were you a shark do you believe under those circumstances you'd see a shark that reaches its fullest potential? No. Find your ocean Josh. Look idk if you play sports but it dosent matter, when you're playing baseball the pitch thrown from a good arm is quicker than your eye can physically keep up with. In order to hit the ball you must dial in mentally and physically to KNOW where that ball is going to be. How? Because you're playing baseball of course, you've practiced for this. Over and over you've swung a bat countless types of pitches at varying speed, intensity and difficulty. Now, you could take an easy sacrificial bunt to progress your teammate to the next base and possibly take first yourself. Or... You could swing the bat like you know you can and hit the home run. I promise you have a lot more practice at life then you could ever hope to have at baseball, so swing? That's what I do at least. Spread your wings and fly I guarantee there is no time like the present. Remember friend living to survive and living to thrive are completely different. 💯

Derricks argument on rap is kinda dumb. Of course sweeney is being subjective about it, music is a completely subjective medium. If you want to get very specific and discuss the objective ranking of sales figures and the like you could make arguments that there are bests. But the best rappers aren't always the most acknowledged ones. Eminem can spit has ass off, but most of his music isn't particularly enjoyable in my opinion. It doesnt speak to my core in the way lots of other rappers that might not have as technically strong bars can. I would put him in the top 20, but towards the bottom of that tier.
