Millennials are a bunch of whiny, entitled assholes. That’s the narrative all of the “old people” have been shouting across social media and in real life. It is also the same narrative that every generation since the beginning of time has been saying about the younger generation. But this may be the first time…
Facebook is a breeding ground for stupidity, ignorance and subtle (sometimes overt) racism and prejudice. Since shaming is a good way to get people to change, let’s call them out on their BS.

Don’t.

That scene is from the film “The New Guy,” which is about a nerd who becomes the big man on campus by way of becoming a bad ass. He’s the same loveable guy on the inside, but in order for people to take him seriously, drastic measures had to be taken. This is the 2015…

1,476 miles $150 in gas 22 hours 42 radio dial changes 8 million construction cones (in Texas alone). Those are some roundtrip stats to Austin, Texas, from Kansas City. For the first time, I made the journey to the hipster capital of the world to attend the one of the largest indie music festivals…

Last week, I questioned your music choices. This week, I’m questioning your ability to read…for pleasure. While you are listening to your favorite song on the radio or some app (promoted and paid for by a record label) during an intense session of Candy Crush as you wait for a movie to download on…
What’s your favorite radio station?* Turn to it right now and write down what song is playing. Chances are that song will be played – along with a handful of others – ad nauseam throughout the day. There is an equal chance that the record label – not the radio personality – is responsible for…
When it comes to branding, there may be no tool more important than social media. And when it comes to entities that have a desperate need to revamp their branding image, police departments rank high on the list…especially the St. Louis. Mo. police department. Let’s look to the KCPD for inspiration. In January 2013, I…
WARNING: Harsh realities ahead. SPOILER ALERT: Stick around. Silver linings are also ahead. Only one city gets to celebrate at the end of a season. Twenty-nine others will be disappointed, jaded, heartbroken. San Francisco is used to victory. Kansas City is used to defeat. That’s life. So why does this hurt so much after nearly…
We all know the story of David vs. Goliath: a tale where the underdog defeats the giant. Its message is anyone can overcome the odds, regardless of the opponent in your way. The unlikely heroes, the Kansas City Royals, are literally facing Giants. It’s a story that is making media producers have the biggest hard-on.…
#BringBackSungWoo That’s the hashtag going viral on KC Twitter as of this writing. People in Kansas City love that story, and the people involved with making it happen love it even more. I can be “that guy” and argue the exploitation of a human being as a PR stunt, but honestly, I don’t give a…
Every time a new generation starts to enter adulthood, the older generations bitch and complain about how lazy they are. It happens every time. For the Millennials, this assessment may actually be accurate, and it may not be a bad thing. A BBC article approaches the topic of Millennials in the workplace. At first read,…
Homeownership signifies that you have become a fully functional adult. You’re no longer a child or immature. Also, homeownership indicates that mom and dad have money. A new study reveals that 27 percent of first-time homeowners received money from relatives or friends for their down payment, up 24 percent from last year and likely to…
Let’s say you own a business that sells bellbottoms. It’s the ‘70s and every Pink Floyd fan that’s smoking dank weed is buying them, i.e. everyone is buying your product. Now’s it’s the ‘80s and the youth have switched over to Motley Crue leather pants and whatever the hell the New Wave kids are wearing.…
Bucket Challenges, marathons, quirky t-shirts, pub crawls. You name a disease that more than a dozen people have, and there is probably a campaign raising money for it. These shenanigans need to end, and I will tell you why. As our contributor writer Dudebrabroman pointed out in Going Viral Doesn’t Cure Viruses, the ALS Ice…
Sadly, “Journalism Isn’t For Journalists” will be a reoccurring segment on this site. This week, The Huffington Post is the latest media outlet to give a huge “FUCK YOU!” to journalists everywhere. HuffPost has hired former NFL wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth as their newest politics fellow. Not a sports writer. Not a health and nutrition…
Which word goes first: “innocent” or “guilty?” According to the court of law, “innocent until proven guilty” is the law of the land. According to the court of public opinion (i.e. idiots), the opposite yields true. And no one knows that better than Cards Against Humanity creator Max Temkin. A few months ago, news came…
Hello. My name is Ty. I am a 31-year-old white male from the Midwest, Kansas City to be exact. I am here to talk about what is going on in Ferguson, Mo. Despite my stats, I am qualified to do so. Here’s why: I am a U.S. citizen. Whenever white people talk about Ferguson, they…
FUN FACT: you can be charged for a crime that technically isn’t a crime, but technically is. What does that even mean? Here’s an example that involves a sober person getting a DWI: Earlier this week, two double-decker buses crashed into each other in New York City*. One bus struck another that was parked. Fourteen…
“NYPD Blue,” “Law & Order,” “CSI: NY.” Man, NYPD cops have to cry when they see those shows. You know, because police officers on those shows are not scrutinized for arresting criminals. The NYPD is under the magnifying glass yet again. About a week ago, I wrote a piece called COPS: Not As Seen On…
Now that you know the candidates and who to vote for, it is time to look at the issues on the ballot. Unlike a politician “representing” you in Congress, these state and local measures can affect you directly and YOU PERSONALLY can dictate the fate. Politicians will fuck you over, no matter who you vote…
Now that we got the Democrats out of the way, it is time to move on to the Republicans. If you are not a fan of Republicans, you can still use this to your advantage. Find a candidate you think is a complete piece of shit and vote for someone else! Sometimes there are elections…
Voting is a pain in the ass, You have to go inside some elementary school and feel like a goddamn pedophile and vote for people you have never heard of. Good news! I’ve done the research for you! Since a huge population of my readers and listeners are Kansas City residents (grassroots campaigning works!), this…
When I was in high school, I found my childhood dog, Cody, lying at the bottom of the basement stairs unable to move. He wasn’t injured, but for some reason he could not get up the stairs. I knew something was wrong and called a friend to drive me and Cody to the vet. The…
There are very few careers available where simply getting a formal education specific to the industry will land you a job. Unless the job requires a specific postgraduate degree to be legally qualified (doctor, lawyer, etc.), chances are your dream job will be snatched up by someone who majored in Renaissance Literature or something equally…
Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they chokehold you? That seems to be the theme for the NYPD. For whatever reason, they cannot seem to stop beating the ever living shit out of people. The real question: Does the NYPD have a serious issue with power of abuse OR are…
Watergate. Iran-Contra. Monica Lewinsky’s cum-stained dress. The above are good examples of what journalism and news used to be. No listicles. No aggregation. Just trained and educated journalists reporting the facts (and only the facts) so that the individual reader can form their own opinion. I may be sourcing news from others, but I intend…
Think about the stupid shit you did in high school. Now imagine all of those shenanigans being broadcasted to the world, which you will be held responsible for your entire life, despite a thing called maturing and change. Welcome to the digital age! I am fortunate enough to have barely missed the social media age…
One fascinating aspect about human nature is our yearning to hate. Over the centuries, most of us have gotten over our discontent with women, blacks, Jews, witches, gypsies, Daniel from middle school and whoever else has been oppressed. As soon as we get over our hate from one group, we move to another. Most recently, we…
Remember that stupid tribal and/or butterfly tattoo you ran out to get when you turned 18? It’s going to cost you more than $150, a little pain and a lot of regret. It can also cost you your shitty job. A Starbucks employee has 30 days to remove a tattoo or lose her job.…
Those of you who are familiar with me or have listened to the podcast probably know that I am a huge 311 fan. With a high energy live show that can convert any casual listener, 311 have reached to what I refer to as the perfect level of success. I have always applauded their rhythm…
If you listen to Soundtrack of the Week, then you know how much I hate people. It even says so on my Twitter bio. Compiling a list of people who can “eat a bowl of dicks” would be time consuming. In fact, it will be easier to list off the people who can eat a…
According to the Westboro Baptist Church and every other asshole (homophobe), gays are everywhere. According to the latest Center for Disease Control study, they are hiding and not in the closet. A National Health Statistics Report reveals that 96.6% of Americans identify as straight, 1.6% gay or lesbian, 0.1% bisexual and the remaining 1.1%…
“It’s a big country. The costs of living, especially housing, vary widely in America from state to state and city to city.” “Private industry and the free market are already taking care of it.” “It would eliminate jobs.” “It would reduce the incentive for low-wage workers to get an education and move up to a…
Find the de Broglie wavelength associated with an alpha particle emitted with a kinetic energy of 1 MeV by the nucleus of an atom of radon. Can’t do it? Blame your idiot parents and God. A recent study reveals that half of your intelligence is genetic. More specifically, about half of a child’s ability to…
Stand up. Now look down. Can you see your penis and/or* vagina? No? Maybe all you need to do is take a walk. A new study reveals that less exercise, not more calories, is responsible for obesity. The Stanford research shows that in the past 20 years total daily calorie, fat, carbohydrate…
This next story has all types of WTF in it. Police want to take a dick pic of a 17-year-old to prove a case. More specifically, an erect dick pic. Even more specifically, the police want to take him to a hospital, inject him with whatever the fuck porn stars use and snap pictures…
Are you a manipulative, antisocial narcissist? Congratulations! You are going to excel in your career! A recent study reveals that people who exhibit manipulative, narcissistic and/or antisocial behavior are more likely to climb the corporate ladder. In other words, nice guys finish last and assholes will be your boss. Pretty accurate, right? The article goes…
If you have ever mimicked a yell at Arlington Cemetery in a photo or made an AIDS joke on Twitter en route to Africa that went viral, you know very well that fake Internet outrage (aka Internet vigilante justice) is a dangerous thing. People’s lives are ruined for insignificant, meaningless things thanks to those on…
Fox News has the slogan “Fair & Balanced.” Even though that is full of shit, that is the mantra for journalists everywhere. But should everyone’s voice get fair and balanced treatment? No, and BBC News agrees. Recently, the BBC announced that they will reduce air time for idiots, i.e. stop giving people with…
