In this episode of Culture Stroke, Host Jason Matthews comments on and shares his memories on the song and video Expose - Seasons change from 1988.

Jason Matthew talks about how the song was released in late 1987 but peaked in early 1988. So it has been over 30 years.

Matthews talks about how emotional the song was at the time, and is now because of a relationship he had with a girl at the time. He says the song was popular when he went on a family trip to Hawaii for a week and was away from the girl. Matthews also remembers the song because it was featured on the airplane at the time. He recalls in the 1980's how customers were able to plug headphones into the side arm rest and listen to popular songs at the time. That is why the song took so much meaning.

Matthews speaks about the popularity of Expose as a dance group and this was a rare, popular ballad by the group. He also mentions the meaning of the song which is changing of the seasons of a person's life.

Jason Matthews goes into details and gets choked up about the memories and emotions he has concerning the song. He mentions how the song could come on and he would feel like he is back exactly where he was at the time when he heard the song. This includes feeling the wind, feeling a touch, and seeing the bright sun. He says even though it was 30 years ago, it "feels like yesterday".

In this episode of Culture Stroke, DogGuru talks about his solution to the US - Mexico border wall dilemma.

DogGuru, formerly known as Willie Nelson, and other people in past lives, starts with a mediation and breathing practice.

DogGuru does not give a direct solution to the issue but recommends a lot of meditation and contemplation. He asks listeners to mentally transport themselves to downtown San Diego, California to start construction of the wall. He tells listeners he looks like an old Jesus so they can recognize him when they get there.

DogGuru then says they will begin construction of the wall, brick by brick from San Diego to the Rio Grande in Texas. He says it will likely take about 40 years to complete construction.

DogGuru says when they get to Texas he will be very old but for everyone to record his words now with their iPhones so they can remember. He says once they get there they will do some meditation and yoga then start the process of deconstruction of the wall. However, he warns everyone that the older people and himself may not be alive when they get back to San Diego but he wants them to meditate again when they get there on what they have done.

Although not giving specifics, DogGuru insinuates there will no longer be a need for a wall by that time as the United States will likely be merged by then. It is also assumed that by construction and deconstructing of the wall, it will be like in the movie Karate kid when Mr. Miyagi teaches Daniel a less by making him paint his deck. In other words, a subtle and slow lesson is being learned but no one knows what it is.

In this episode of Culture Stroke, Rossi Ricco comes on and has a very detailed solution to the border wall controversy.

Rossi Ricco says President Donald Trump's math on the cost of a wall is off. He says we are going to need a lot more money than that to build the wall. He also says Trump said Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

Ricco says he has a better solution and he has done extensive research into the matter. He stated we can make Mexico pay for the wall. According to Ricco, the solution is to invade Mexico, specifically, Michoacan because most of the needed materials for the wall are there. However, we would only strategically invade that area.

Ricco then gives details on how the construction of the wall will work. He gives details about making illegal aliens pay their crimes through work labor. However, he said we would have to encroach 5 feet into Mexico to build the wall to avoid United States labor laws.

Ricco gives further details including a path to citizenship for those we stay the entire time to complete construction of the wall. He also would put those building the wall under armed guard. However, family visits would be allowed. A bouncy house and toys would be provided for the children but they would also have to participate in building the wall.

Ricco stated entertainment would be provided during construction including music by Selena, Tigres del Norte, and Shakira agreed to do a one night concert on site.

Ricco assures President Trump the plan will work and save the country billions of dollars. He asks Trump to contact him at (210) 867-5309 and ask for Jenny his secretary to set up a scopi

In this episode of Culture Stroke, Cooper Johnson comes on to talk about the United States - Mexico border wall controversy.

Cooper Johnson says the election of President Trump was an illegal election while citing MSNBC as a media source. He declares his love for Rachel Maddow and highly praises her.

Johnson says President Trump is evil and agrees with Nancy Pelosi that the wall is immoral. He praised Nancy Pelosi for vacationing in Hawaii and leaving Trump in Washington D.C.

Johnson comments he wants to make it down to the border soon so he can greet everyone with a big hug as they come into the United States illegally. He says "we are all friends here".

Johnson is happy Starbucks now has organic soy milk in their latte and wants to deliver a latte to each illegal immigrant as they enter the country.

Finally, Johnson speaks about the naked parade he is going to in San Francisco to protest evil President Donald Trump.

In this episode of Culture Stroke, Sergeant Maynard Dixon comes on and talks about his support for President Donald Trump and building the Wall on the U.S./Mexico Border.

Maynard Dixon criticizes Nancy Pelosi and Chuck "Shoemaker" Schumer. He criticizes Nancy Pelosi for vacationing in the country of Hawaii instead of being in Washington D.C. trying to resolve the matter. He also wonders where Chuck "Shoemaker" is. "Making Shoes"?

Dixon wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and references Psalms which allegedly says if you don't believe in Christmas then you are going straight to hell.

Dixon gives multiple Fox News references and shows. He makes several claims about how illegal aliens are stealing United States citizens jobs as heard on Fox News.

Dixon encourages President Trump to stand firm and pray to Jesus in the White House for a resolution. He also calls for Trump to "Lock her Up!" in reference to Hilary Clinton.

Finally, Dixon references the Caravan on the border and says they are full of MS-13 gang members throwing gang signs. He states the Caravan wants to get into the United States to steal all the good jobs, get on welfare, and sit home watching TV.

In this episode of Culture Stroke, Sergeant Maynard Dixon joins channel Host Jason Matthews to comment and react to funny Fail Army videos.

Maynard Dixon still cannot figure out how to pronounce the word Millennials and starts providing commentary before the video even starts.

We first see a photo of a young man wearing Santa Claus shorts. Maynard Dixon theorizes the young man must have just received the boxing gloves from Santa for Christmas. He also contemplates why he is standing on a 1980's passenger car.

Upon watching multiple Fail Army Desert Fails videos, Maynard Dixon concludes all the videos were filmed in Africa, specifically in the Sahara Desert. Jason Matthews is not convinced and says if it is in Africa, they are tourists in Africa.

Sergeant Maynard Dixon continues to criticizes teenagers and Millennials for being dumb. He watches people jumping into cacti and flipping motor bikes.

Jason Matthews has a hard time getting a word in as commentary as he keeps having to correct Maynard Dixon concerning his Africa assumptions.

Hello, this is Jason Matthews, the Host of the Culture Stroke YouTube Channel and this website.

I want to apologize for the lack of professionalism J.T. and Jeffrey showed in the commentary of this video. I told them to react and comment on the Fail Army video but their lack of planning shows up quite easily upon watching the video. Unfortunately, I owe J.T.'s mom some money and promised her I would allow him and Jeffrey to do the video. Due to the significant amount of money I owe his mother, they will continue to do videos on the channel.

However, I do have creative control of the videos and will insist they improve when doing commentary on any Fail Army or other videos. I will not put up with name calling or bullying and I have conveyed that to them.

I want to apologize to anyone doing Crossfit. I know Crossfit was mentioned several times in the video. However, these are not my opinions.

Jeffrey is free to talk about J.T.'s mom in the videos if she does not have a problem with it and I did get confirmation she does not have an issue with it. She actually was proud she was mentioned in the video. I will have to check with his grandmother for further confirmation.

Jeffrey has a nervous laugh which I find annoying and I will attempt to coach him on how to properly use his voice in an appropriate manner.

I really want these teenagers to succeed and will be working with them to improve their delivery.

Thank you for your attention.

To watch the original Jacksons Torture video and listen to the commentary at the same time go to this link:

https://www.culturestroke.com/2018/11/the-jacksons-torture-1984-reaction.html

In this episode J.T. and Jeffrey react to and provide commentary on the Jacksons music video Torture from 1984.

Jeffrey wonders where the video is taking place and which of the

brothers is Michael Jackson. He determines it is definitely not the person in the "Cruise Director's Hat" because he is probably the Captain of the ship. J.T. and Jeffrey both agree at least the have entertainment on the ship like dancing and singing.

Jeffrey thinks the video may be a Ozzy video.

Jeffrey spots Michael Jackson's "magical glove" and says the girl with the whip is naughty because she wants to whip the Jackson brothers. At the end of the video Jeffrey and J.T. think the Jacksons called Scotty from Star Trek because of the way they beam out of the video.

This is a clip of the grand opening of the recently discovered lost Fresno civilization in Woodward Park. As you can see a lot of people turned out for the opening and were not disappointed.

The ruins took over a year to be dug out. Reportedly a dog walker stumbled upon them in the northeast corner of the park. They were completely unknown until now. This is an amazing discover and seems to have connections to similar structures found in other parts of the world.

Fresno has a lot of history to be proud of. Allegedly, the Fresno Chamber of Commerce is very excited and is planning mass advertising of the ruins to draw new visitors to the city. Everyone was shocked upon learning of the discover in late 2016. It has been kept a secret from the public until now to prevent vandalism of the site. However, now that the site is open, security is at a high level.

A visitor at the Fresno Underground Gardens reportedly saw a staff member sigh upon hearing the news, throw up their hands, and run into a bathroom crying. Competition will surely be intense in the Fresno area among all the ruins sites vying for visitors.

Dogs are not allowed on the site and reportedly the Fresno Woodward Park dog park is under consideration for a relocation due to the smell, which could detract from new visitation to the ruins. A couple of dogs owners have already been cited for allowing their dogs to run up to the ruins and urinate on the structure.
