    The Cathartic Episode of F*CKING ARGENTINA
    Dec 7 2021
    In the final episode of our series F*cking Argentina, we sat down with Gregg Greenberg and talked to him about writing the book that came out of the pandemic, his favorite stories and key themes, and why it's worth getting yourself a copy to read or gift this for the holidays!  For anyone out there who says, "I don't know if I can publish a book." Gregg says, "Yes, you can!" What frustrated, irritated and exasperated him in real life served as a starting point for writing these unforgettable short stories. Tune in to this hilarious and exasperating tale of F*CKING ARGENTINA with Gregg Greenberg and Tom Fox. ▶️ ABOUT THE BOOK F*cking Argentina and 10 More Tales of Exasperation by Gregg Greenberg is a compilation of short stories that dive into the American phenomenon of being in a near-perpetual state of aggravation. Greenberg's anthology brings together eleven original pieces of work, each with their own slice of independent and distinct plot lines but all converging on the universal theme of exasperation. They run the whole gamut of scenarios, from the titular story "F*cking Argentina" wherein the country is once again in bankruptcy and a polite game of tug o' war plays out on a porch, to "A Journeyman Tennis Player's Prayer" with a low ranking U.S. Open contender begging God for a comparable opponent. Both stories end with the superlative f-word, which showcases at some point in other stories, and a guaranteed chuckle from their readers. Buy the book here: http://fckingargentina.com/.

    Welcome to the newest addition to the Compliance Podcast Network featuring the book F*CKING ARGENTINA, where we unpack some of the current exasperation of American life today.  Humor writer Greg Greenberg tells the tale of a ubiquitous dog walker meeting a father taking his daughter to school in the streets in New York. "There's a reason why there are pooper scooper laws. I'm not asking for a massive crackdown, but the dog owners feel that the sidewalks are their territory. And I don't think it's always fair. And this story is a little bit of exasperation, the narrator having to deal with that in the streets."

  • What is BFJ?

    What is BFJ?
    Oct 19 2021
    Humor writer Gregg Greenberg has such distaste or disdain for Billy Joel's music that he can remember the lyrics to. "When I was growing up in Hicksville, they kept making us sing his songs in the chorus in elementary school and junior high school. They would play it at the mall. You just could not escape Billy Joel."  In his book F*cking Argentina and 10 More Tales of Exasperation, Greenberg writes his sentiments in an autobiographical fashion.  The short story tells of a guy who's in love with this girl, but she has this one terrible character trait — she loves Billy Joel's music! She sings it in the shower, watches his videos, and even wants her boyfriend to a BJ concert. And such is the deal-breaker for the guy who hates Billy Joel that much!
