It was always about hate…

October 9, 2025by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

Last week, I was horrified when reading the stories of ICE agents in Chicago dragging naked children out of their beds and putting them in vehicles. And while I was disgusted by the behavior, I was even more upset to see the reaction of people online supporting it. Because, as with everything associated with this President, you may agree with the initial understanding of the most basic argument, but the way things are carried out with such inhumanity and callousness is just tragic and if you are in favor of it, then you are absolutely a bad person.

FBC 2025 Oscars Coverage, Part 2: Predicting The Nominations

January 20, 2025by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

With raging wildfires forcing the delay of the nominations until Thursday, it’s given me time to reflect on who the nominees should be. As some of the guild precursors have resonated, my Buzz Meter from a week ago has undergone great tumult. Nickel Boys has lost a ton of steam, The Apprentice has gained some, and Sing Sing has had one of the crazier pre-Oscar runs in recent history.

But, it’s time to lock them in. My goal is always for around 75%, with anything over 80% a near guarantee to turn me into an unbearable douche. So, with those stakes on the table, let’s get predicting!!!

Military Atrocities, Nü Metal, & Me.

January 7, 2025January 6, 2025by rikimjadamsLeave a Comment

20 years ago I was boots on ground in Iraq for the first time. Roughly 1.5 million Americans can say something similar as veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
Many were in their 20s, and for many it was their first experience ever leaving the US.
I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to adequately put into words what deployment felt like. I write fun goofy articles. I don’t write about the fucked-shit. I don’t have the language.
I don’t have the nerve.

But I’m not writing about my experiences in Iraq. I’m writing about something that came before. Something I still to this day can’t get out of my brain. A bit of brainwashing that I don’t think any generation of US troops before could have ever imagined.

In 2024, Patriots Should Not Vote! – written by Pennsylvania Patriot

October 3, 2024October 3, 2024by The Fancy BoysLeave a Comment

My name is David D. I don’t want to give my last name because what I’m about to say might upset some people. What I will say is that I’m a guy who lives in a red part of Pennsylvania. I have a job and a family and I love my town and my state and my country. In 2016, I voted for President Donald Trump and then I did it again in 2020, only to watch as the Deep State stole the election to put in Joe Biden. Like so many in my community, I was furious that America just stood by and let that happen. But here we are four years later with President Trump wanting my vote to help drain the swamp and take on the deep state and make the America I know and love great again. But I can’t give it to him. What’s the point?

So You Don’t Have To: A Limp Bizkit Concert

July 21, 2024by Brandon AndreasenLeave a Comment

Everything feels vaguely off. It’s not the mind altering drugs. It’s not the fact that I’d competed in two hot sauce eating conversations during the afternoon. It was because everyone around me looked like they had been arrested at some point for stealing Catalytic Converters.

No, I wasn’t at a penal colony. Or a job fair for Port-A-John workers, or a Kid Rock cruise. I was at a Limp Bizkit concert. Desperately trying to figure out how I got there, and spastically trying to figure out how to leave if all the cans of Zyn go empty in this joint.

An Article on Watching the Presidential Debate (because there’s no wrestling on TV on Thursday Nights)

June 28, 2024December 8, 2024by rikimjadamsLeave a Comment

On the evening of Thursday June 27th, I found myself in a terrible situation. Most nights of the week I can watch wrestling-

To start the week, there’s WWE’s Monday Night Raw.

NXT is the WWE “minor league feeder show” on Tuesday nights.

Wednesdays bring AEW Dynamite.

Friday has WWE Smackdown, WWE’s NXT’s Level Up which is the feeder for the feeder show, as well as AEW Rampage.

On Saturdays one can watch AEW Collision, plus Saturdays and Sundays on any given month offer no shortage of Pay Per Views or Premium Live Events depending on one’s branding.

But Thursday nights… Thursdays are barren of wrestling. (We don’t acknowledge NWA in this house, sorry to my friends who work there)

And that’s how I found myself watching the presidential debate.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Path To The White House

June 20, 2024June 20, 2024by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

We are in a perilous time in our nation, and the upcoming November election is not going to make things any better. Between the two viable candidates, neither exactly presents hope for the next four years. What America needs right now, perhaps more than ever, is a candidate who is willing to not only disregard the partisan media, bloodythirsty lobbyists, and the greater demons of their own party and bring our country together in a spirit of compassion, compromise and unity. Neither President Biden nor former President Donald Trump come close to checking those boxes, and it’s gonna be rough living here for the considerable future.

“But Matt,” you might be saying, “you said there were only TWO viable candidates. What about this Robert Kennedy Jr. I’ve been hearing about on social media and some of my weirder friends? I’m sure you just forgot about him and now you are going to go back in real time and change your column because it’s only fair to include everyone with a realistic chance of becoming the next President of these great United States.” If this is you, I have a simple response: Shut up. You are wrong. RFK Jr. has no chance of becoming the next leader of the free world.

Well, that’s not exactly true. There is one path…

FBC 2024 Oscar Coverage, Part II: The nominations predictions…

January 18, 2024by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

We have come, everyone, to my favorite thing I get to write all year. Usually, I rock about 80% for my predictions of the Oscar nominations. If that number is any higher, I am insufferable until the ceremony, where I am sure to crash when predicting the winners. If that number is any lower, I am inconsolable until the next year. So, most people hope I hit that 80% mark exactly so I’m not a pain in the ass one way or another.

This year, the locks seem to be unfuckwithable and the remainders seem to be a dogfight. Currently, voting is open so me turning in my predictions right now seems like a mistake. But mistakes is where I thrive. Also, any sort of late push now will probably not do a lot. So, let’s cross our fingers and see where the chips fall when the nominees are announced on January 23rd. Just a reminder that I only do nominations for the ten major categories (Best Picture, Best Director, the four acting and two screenwriting categories, Best Animated Feature and Best International Film).

Without further ado, I believe the nominations will be…

Cancer Gets One Right: RIP Rush Limbaugh

February 17, 2021by The Fancy BoysLeave a Comment

In a hilarious turn of events this morning, gluttonous bag of carbon and evil Rush Limbaugh succumbed to lung cancer. His death comes as a culmination of decades of hateful rhetoric and divisive speech that helped to poison the minds of generations, dividing families and our nation as a whole. His advocacy for family values such as intolerance and prejudice were a hallmark of his tenure in the American broadcast community. His affection for overt racism, spousal rape, and the disenfranchisement of LGBTQ Americans were the pillars on which Limbaugh stood. He was an architect of the partisan political landscape that has permeated every molecule of our lives, taking the dissolution of the Fairness Doctrine by the Reagan Administration and nurturing it to its full potential. He leaves a world worse than what he found. His legacy is that of divisiveness, impudence, and the echoes of collateral consternation among those still walking the earth.

Now on his great eternal journey, may he be shown the same kindness and consideration he granted upon the least of those during his seventy hate-fueled years.

He will be mourned only by those who wish his vitriolic views into fruition.

He will not be missed.
