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 the beam out of the video. 

See The Jacksons - Torture Lyrics below:

It was on a street so evil

So bad that even hell disowned it

Every single step was trouble

For the fool who stumbled on it

Eyes within the dark were watching

I felt the sudden chill of danger

Something told me keep on walking

Told me I should not have come there

Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife

Without your love in my life

Alone I walk in the night

'Cause I just can't stop this feelin'

It's torture

It's torture

It's torture

She was up a stair to nowhere

A room forever I'll remember

She stared as though I should have known her

Tell me what's your pain or pleasure

Every little thing you find here

Is simply for the thrill you're after

Loneliness or hearts of fire

I am here to serve all masters

She said reality is a knife

When there's no love in your life

And merciful is the night

When you just can't stop this feeling

It's torture

It's torture

It's torture

And I still can't find the meaning, no no no

Of the face I keep on seeing

Was she real or am I dreaming

Did the sound of your name

Turn a wheel, start the flame in me

Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife

Without your love in my life

Alone I walk in the night

And I just can't stop this feelin'

It's torture

It's torture

It's torture

She said reality is a knife

When there's no love in your life

And merciful is the night

When you just can't stop this feeling

It's torture

It's torture

It's torture

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.

In this episode of the Forever Fresno Podcast, JT, Sergeant Maynard Dixon and Host Jason Matthews focus on a article entitled 10 Things To Know and Love About Fresno. 

The following are discussion items in the show:

1. If you are thinking of moving to Fresno and like what you see, odds are greater you will land in Clovis next door.

2. Fresno politics are complicated by water (more specifically by the lack of sufficient supplies to completely irrigate the fertile soil surrounding the city.)

3. Keeping with politics: Although Fresno County is one of the most conservative places in California, it has more registered Democrats than Republicans.

4. Are tacos your favorite food?

5. As everyone who parachutes in and writes about Fresno observes, it’s just a few hours away from the beach, the mountains, Los Angeles and San Francisco. 

6. Interested in wine-making as a career? 

7. From the end of February to the middle of March, the Blossom Trail erupts in colors that will simultaneously excite and soothe you.

In this episode of the Forever Fresno Podcast, Jason Matthews, Rossi Ricco and Sergeant Maynard Dixon give commentary on a controversial article the Fresno Bee published recent. The editorial article has received negative publicity on social media channels.

Jason Matthews speaks with Rossi Ricco concerning the Fresno Bee article via telephone from downtown Fresno. Ricco arrived early at Fresno Bee Headquarters to watch alleged employees as they enter and exit the building.

Jason Matthews attempts to stay objective in the situation. Sergeant Dixon tries to get Jason Matthews to commit to a position on the subject. The theory is employees at the Fresno Bee are liberal, weirdo, hippy, San Francisco types.

Ricco seemingly attempts to confirm the exact opposite of what the writer of the article is alleging; employees of the Fresno Bee newspaper are normal, everyday people. The Fresno Bee article claims the staff  "consists of real people who live, work, purchase, eat, socialize, pray, recreate and ultimately die right here in the Valley".

In this episode Host Jason Matthews is granted an exclusive interview of Jose, the alleged original photographer of the Fresno Nightcrawler footage.

Jason Matthews enlists Sergeant Dixon to relay translations from his neighbor, Roy Rubenstein, from Spanish to English. Jose does not feel comfortable talking in English about the Fresno alien but he does understand English. Roy Rubenstein told Sergeant Dixon he is fluent in Spanish and can translate for Jose but Roy does not want to directly come on the Forever Fresno podcast. Therefore, the only option is to have Jose answer Jason Matthews questions and have Sergeant Dixon ask Roy Rubenstein for the translation off mic.

Jose talks about the Fresno Nightcrawler Native Americcan history and how he was visited by a local tribe concerning the matter after his sighting of the Fresno creature. Jose gives very specific information on the Fresno Nightcrawler stick figure alien. He provides exact dates and times as well as the camera model used for this caught on tape video.

According to Jose, the Nightcrawler legend is explained by the visit he had from the the man who stated he was from a local Native American tribe. He also explains how his dogs were barking at the Nightcrawler paranormal creature. He also explains how the Fresno Bulldog gang was involved in the situation. The visit by the alleged tribesman produces further information for Jose about the stick figure alien and it's connection to Yosemite.

Host Jason Matthews asks about the sequence of events that happened that night at the house and gets never before heard information. He gets very detailed information about everything caught on tape.
