It’s Official: Gretna, Nebraska Is Pretty Alright

It’s Official: Gretna, Nebraska Is Pretty Alright

I’ve traveled all over the world, primarily Europe, seeing all the sites and eating my way through each country. However, the fresh pasta of Italy, the delicious sausages of Germany, and the tapas of Spain have nothing on the delectable cuisine of Gretna, Nebraska… probably.

If The Party’s Where You’re At, Then Let Me Know: How Jagged Edge Crossed Over and United a Nation

If The Party’s Where You’re At, Then Let Me Know: How Jagged Edge Crossed Over and United a Nation

Life is hard. It’s a cliché, but lord knows often it is all too true. In the ever-fading days of youth, we tend to forget what makes us human; what makes us beautiful as a species. It is our inherent ability to rise from the fruit of our faults and become greater than we thought we could be. Jack Nicholson’s Jack Torrance from The Shining quotes the brilliantly brief age-old elucidation into mankind’s most futile ritual- “all work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” If there is not joy to life, if there is no pleasure, what is our purpose? To live life without a shred of gratification would be to fail as a human being. Enter late spring, 2001. America is unaware of the perilous age that lies ahead. On the radio, one particular song was set to take over the summer. That song would be the inverse credo of that damning proverb. Perhaps we could do ourselves a favor and think back to a time when a group of young men from Atlanta and their friend from St. Louis asked the simplest of questions- “Where the Party At?”

Fancy Boys Video Game Club: Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu

Welcome to episode 1 of The Fancy Boys Video Game Club, a thing that I just made up as I began typing this intro. Every week I intend to post a video in which I sit down with a different video game for about an hour or so and talk about it. I don’t have any type of criteria in mind. It could be a new release, an old classic, or just a weirdo game that I liked a whole lot that I’ve never heard anyone else ever talk about. Today’s episode is just that. Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu. Continue reading “Fancy Boys Video Game Club: Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu”

Ep 1: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

On episode 1 of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Conversation, Joe and Gladys went and saw Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. They talk about what sodas they drank, the seating arrangements in the theater, the trailers, and eventually the movie itself.

So I’d say go watch the movie first and the come on back and click on the link above and have a listen. OR you can subscribe on Apple podcasts, head on over to Stitcher, or just search pretty much anywhere else podcasts are found. It’s gon’ be a good time!

Lastly I have to give a big thank you to our sponsors this week, we couldn’t do it without you.

FBC NFL Preview: AFC East

FBC NFL Preview: AFC East

Welcome to the first division preview and it makes sense to knock out the easiest, most obvious division in football. The Patriots rule this division. There are people who are sophmores in college who know nothing but the dominance of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. We were barely over Y2K when they came in and announced their presence in the NFL. So, lets get this over with, here is the AFC East…

F*ck Serial Killers.

We have to stop giving serial killers what they want. 

As a self-certified armchair detective, I believe I’ve pinpointed a major flaw in the system that’s essentially rewarding serial killers for their monstrous deeds. Our problem is once we catch serial killers, the media covers their stories with a sick fascination that borders on reverence. We give them exotically terrifying monikers like Jack The Ripper, The Killer Clown, The Werewolf of Wysteria, The Night Stalker. We describe them as ‘evil geniuses’ who ‘managed to elude the police for decades,’ further glorifying them. We romanticize their horrific crimes in graphic detail, enabling them to relish in reliving the feeling of gratification from taking a life.

Just Quit Your Job And Go Backpacking In Europe, You Cuck

Just Quit Your Job And Go Backpacking In Europe, You Cuck

I’m a free spirit. I move where the various winds of change blow me. That’s why my wife and I fly with the eagles across the Atlantic to see the beauty that Europe holds every six months or so. Some people say that a 46-year-old man like myself should be settled down with his wife and hypothetical kids and have a steady job. But they’re wrong. Why should I be locked away in a cubicle in restrictive clothing when I could be overseas, watching someone fuck my wife?
