PROGRESS Chapter 89: 26th May 1988

Much like the infamous match between Bret Hart and Tom Magee, a piece of PROGRESS history has recently been uncovered. The former Progress announcer, Jimmy Barnett, has been sharing his memories of a show from May 26th, 1988. Last year he was kind enough to offer his recollections of a very early PROGRESS from way back in May of 1978 (PROGRESS even found the footage in their vault), and it's a rare treat to get details of another historical show from a man on the inside.

Geoffrey Asmus: The Only Funny White Man

Hello fellow alphas. Welcome to Geoffrey Asmus’ first stand-up comedy special, “The Only Funny White Man.” This is the first 100% alpha stand up comedy special ever released. Others have tried, but none have succeeded. Congratulations on witnessing history. The stand up comedy special was filmed in front of my parents in Minneapolis, the greatest city in America, at Sisyphus Brewery. I'm trying to type stand up comedy as much as I can for the almighty algorithm. In this stand-up comedy special I answer all of society’s pressing questions - Are dogs sexy? Do we need Democrats? Should abortions be mandatory? Can Lutherans enter into heaven? Why do people go ice fishing? And most importantly - Why are betas allowed to live?
