Why does this read like an item description in a Yakuza game?

Brb, off to help plot the offensive against the heathen Andalusians

wifes love asking shit like "Honey, what is the Blowjob Olympics?" and "Why is 'Blowjob Olympics' listed on our CC statement like 14 times"

When people are like "Cody was a great babyface in AEW the fans were just too smarky" I need them to understand that he gave those aw-shucks I am but a simple working man underdog promos after walking out like this www.tiktok.com/@undynelover...

NEW EPISODE! Season 2 of No Scrubs continues with what is surely the most comprehensive retrospective ever on wrestling's greatest holy man. Undisputed Champion Chris Jericho! Deacon Batista! Masturbation! It's all here! OH, MY BROTHER, TESTIFY! open.spotify.com/episode/0UNi...

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Oh noooo… my arm hurts… I must cease rotating.

Me at the end of my explanation whenever people ask me what gambling in mahjong parlours is like

New No Scrubs drops tomorrow, and we have just one question - are you ready to accept our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ into your life? Because it's time for the ultimate Reverend D-Von retrospective!

Keir Starmer is once again trying to find the guy who did this

Another month, another TJPW Korakuen to ramble about. Includes my thoughts on sincerity, Wee Koalas and more. Give it a read if you have a chance! ramblingsaboutwrestling.com/2025/11/10/t...

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

There he is

Let's fucking go

for the record, this is what I wanted video game graphics to evolve to, we didn't need farther than this

NEW EPISODE! Season 2 of No Scrubs kicks off with a bang with Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy from Vengeance 2001, with Lita as special guest referee. With high flying daredevils like this, surely an exciting high-octane contest is guaranteed! (lol) open.spotify.com/episode/6hv8...

Which way, Western man?

This will no doubt not mean much to the non-mahjong players among you aside from "that looks kinda pretty", but holy shit get a load of this chiitoi honroutou lads

lol she got his ass and he knows it

A Shohei Ohtani picturebook defeated Rika Tatsumi to become the 1,780th #ddtpro Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion. That guy’s on a serious roll. #tjpw

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

Just got to hold a door open for Meiko Satomura, how is everyone else's night going?

In Penny Lane, the beatles say that a nurse is selling poppies from a tray but then fail to make it clear that any of the other characters are wearing theirs, or that the beatles themselves all have one on as they should. MR MCCARTNEY MUST ANSWER FOR THIS

Holy shit Mamdani has been winning since he was a little kid

Every once in a while, I think about how careful the “Minions” movie was to clarify that the Minions weren’t doing anything - anything at all, why would you ask? - during the 1940s.

There are no words for how evil this is

Me: "Ah sure, I'll buy tickets for that Olympiacos/Fenerbahce basketball game next month - it's only basketball, surely it won't get as violent between the fans as it might at a football match between those teams." The article I just read:

I feel like The Atlantic may have used the wrong image here

trying to understand Reform arguments again, and as far as I can tell, it's that Muslims refuse to integrate or take part in British civic or public life, and also that there's too many of them involved in British politics, on British television, and generally in, erm, British civic & public life.

After a quieter September for my matches of the month, I had a lot to talk about in October. Among other stuff, we have a foray into sumo, Senka's first title shot and a lot of Meiko Satomura. Give it a read, tell a friend, you all know the deal. ramblingsaboutwrestling.com/2025/11/01/r...

If you're wondering when Season 2 proper is going to drop, wonder no more - No Scrubs Season 2 begins NEXT FRIDAY! 🎉

NEW EPISODE! Listener beware, you're in for a scare! Or at the very least some unwelcome memories of the COVID-19 pandemic. No Scrubs returns with a Halloween special, and a Tables, Ladders and Scares (sigh) match between Io Shirai and Candice LeRae. open.spotify.com/episode/49Hf...

It's Halloween, so here's an old piece on horror icons in professional wrestling - and any excuse to talk about the madcap world of Titanes en el Ring, and the long-running feud there between a good mummy and an evil mummy.

On realising I had scheduled this to be released today, a more professional podcast would have done another Halloween episode. Mine is not that podcast.

just to make sure I'm getting my Reform arguments in line - the country is currently over-run by non-white immigrants, there are huge swathes of the country that are no-go areas if you're white, and yet featuring non-white faces in an advert isn't representative of the demographics of that country?

All the lyrics to 'Rasputin' are funny but I love 'it was a shame how he carried on'. It sounds like something your gran would say about a disgraced quiz-show host.

it's important to remember that we need to be a big tent. it's also important to remember that you won't be allowed in the big tent.

When he says “hit it, Joe”, I don’t think first time viewers are going to be prepared for just how hard Joe hits it.

I will not rest until the Japanese Ambassador sees off a Wigan kebab, a smack barm pey wet and a babby's yed, one after the other, on video. Bilateral relations demand it.
