Jabbology

Welcome weirdos! Did you know I have my own show? Of course you didn't. I mean, it's only been like nine months. It's ok, just your friendly neighborhood Jabbo doing what he does best. I have been a bit silent on the art toy front for a bit, now it's tome to find out why. I finally buckled down and committed to the dream of creating my very own first collectable art piece. I never really knew what to focus on, but I knew I wanted to design something that would absolutely require me to work WELL outside of my comfort zone and force me to grow as a person and as an artist. Enter Rafē. Come behind the scenes (so to speak), as I fill you in on what Rafē is, why I decided to make him, and all the fun/not fun things I had to accomplish to pull this off. This may not be the episode that you'd normally get from me, but trust me, this one is pretty huge for me, so enjoy. Lol.

Alot can happen in six months and now you get to hear about some of it. Oh. You thought Jabbology was dead? Nope. Not at all. Find out what's going on behind the scenes at Proper Rumpus and what new things there are to unroll. You know what, just give it a play, I promise you that you'll get all the wonderful pieces of Jabbo that you've been missing and then some. Finally, the head lunatic is back!

Since I have a podcast network, I mean I guess I can actually put out my own show, right? With the gap closing, I guess that's improvement lol. Welcome to another episode of Jabbology. I had to do SOMETHING. There is always so much going on, that I have to take breaks and fill you all in. It's a great catch up episode with the promise of more. I believe I even say that in the episode. It's not a total story dump, but it's a good opener to all the new shit coming. Hope you enjoy it!

Jabbology is rolling with a few new future changes, but one thing that will stay constant is the adoration I have for the skills, talents, and personalities of the guests. It's not always that I get to sit with someone, but when I do, I geek out just the same. This is no different. As hip hop turns the big 5-0, it just so happened that I had a friend that I wanted to catch up with and he just so happens to be a disciple of the "birthday boy/girl". Big. Bruddah. Snow. A Louisi-Animal in his own right. A creative on a path that only he could curate and follow. A storyteller from "The Boot" with an unconventional view that he is more than happy to share. Controversial in his thoughts, you're seeing a poet on the rise. One with an unflinching and honest look at the course of life that has him where he is today. I couldn't introduce him any better. I could tell you about his home life, his kids, his 9 to 5. I could even tell you his journey into music. Or I can try to shut up and let the man tell you himself. New Jabbology. Enjoy!

People have been askng when another Jabbology episode would be popping up, well, here is your answer. Long overdue in both content AND frequency, I finally got another episde out. This time, I get to sit and be insipired by Alex Parker, the creater/owner of To The House Collectibles. You have heard me delve with Nashon into the story of our resin art, so this is in the same circle. Representation matters. What you get here is a awesome story of the roots of what I feel is an amazing pitch into the designer art world. Trust me, its not one to miss. The Prospect is such an amazing platform and the story and passion behind Alex's dream is one that will inspire anyone. Also, you will get to hear me go fanboy a little. Lol Enjoy!

Finally, The Jabbs has come back to....his own fuckin show! It's been long overdue but I finally sat down to record a new Jabbology episode. There are so many new things that I have been working on, and here ya go, I'll tell you about them all. What's been going on with the shop, the shows, Proper Rumpus art stuff. Im pretty sure I thank half the world in there somewhere. There is so much stuff to breeze over, yapping about it here makes no sense, when you can just listen. Listen. Please? Lol.

Welcome back to another Jabbology! I've been so busy with the other shows and all the other side projects, that sometimes things get shuffled. I'm hglad this was though, cause it allowed time for this episode to happen. After months and months of planning and trying, I finally get to have my big sis on the show. We both have two strong personalities and it madee for a great discussion on life and parenting. I get to pick my sister's brain on her unwavering faith in God, rasining a child as a sinlge parent, and what the dreaded "empty nest" tag means for her. You wanted deep, you got it. lol. It's anotherr look at those I love and what make me tick. It's a very personal episode, so I hope you enjoy it.

Jabbology is running out of space. lol CJ and I still don't have a name for a show...but we have a show. Linked to DJ Xanthas' playlist, we sit and work his process of building the music blocks he ultimately plays. We talk rock, hip hop, pop, country, female vocal powerhouses, and singer and songwriters. We spill our guts on a few of our favs, to be streamlined, and played TONIGHT by DJ Xanthus! Music discussion at it's finest!

First off, how often do you get THIS much shit dropped on Jabbology? How often am I just HERE with all the content? Lol. Anyways, you got one dream project with Philbilly and Brocephus, you got another road map of our art dreams with our D Con episodes, so why not give you another treat?CJ aka DJ Xanthus and I have been mulling over doing a music podcast, so why not give you the prototype here! Loving music as much as we do is itself, an art form. Talking as much as we do, is ALSO an art form. Tie to together, you have two guys who love and live to talk music. It's such a blessing to finally be able to give this to you all. It has always been a dream to do something of this caliber, with one of the most seasoned vets in the game. It doesn't have a name, YET, but we wanted you to hear what we are capable of. I give you, Mixin It Up, CJ and I being the mouthy, music loving bastards we have always been, just together. Lol. Enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed recording it. Game time CJ, time to show them what we got! Let's start...uh, with the 2022 Inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

Well, D Con is upon us and we couldn't be more relieved, or tired. lol Welcome to the second part of our D Con journey! Nashutty and I pick up where we left off, finishing the pieces for shipping. We were in the spot to try and do something big to show off what we were capable of as an art team. Not too many couple teams in the field that we know of, so doing this together, to us, was important. Everything about this art drop, WE did. It wasn't always sunny and bright, but we pulled off something amazing. Oh yeah, we also DIDN'T kill each other. Lol. There is something about us being a creative team that makes this walk a bit different. All of our trial and tribulations, all mapped out, in pod form. Hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to another episode of Jabbology! Ya know, I've been calling this block of shows, my artists series, obviously cause I have been sitting with artists of all mediums, so how in the fuck were WE not gonna talk about OUR arting on here? Well, it's been a long ass road, but we were up to the challenge. This is it, where we explain IN DEPTH what exactly it is that we do. Proper Rumpus is a house for all creative expression and I was just lucky as all hell to have someone, a lifelong partner mind you, to art with. We have dabbled in resin art, vinyl art, and designer art toys for about three years now and we finally have a chance to show off our talents at the infamous Designer Con! Now, I ain't gonna explain what all that is here, it's what the episode is for, but you realy should listen. We talk about the stresses of being artists, running Proper Rumpus, and getting ourselves ready for the biggest art show we have ever been a part of. Like I always say, Jabbology is me, so welcome to another in depth slice of...well, me. lol. Be peace and stick the landing...cue the music!

If you have ever wanted to hear me fan boy, here it is. Welcome to probably one of, if not the best episodes of Jabbology, for me. After being a longtime fan of their work, many commissions and texts later, I FINALLY get to sit with Chris and Jay Salce, owner/creators of Blood Red Comics. I giggle like a school kid as I get to chat with two of my personal heroes, being in pretty much awe the entire time. lol. We talk comics, art, movies, tv...pretty much anything we could think of. They are two of the absolute nicest, most talented, caring individuals I have ever met. They weren't just two guys answering my fanboy ass questions, after this, they are family. Sorry it took so long to post guys, I had to make sure I did ya up right. PLEASE listen to this. These guys motivate and inspire me daily. Hope they do the same for you creatives out there.

What's going on all? The fuck yall doing? lol In my search to become the busiest mofo in the world, I been going on and on about art and artists and all that shit. I decided to just start having artists on the show, from all walks, in all mediums. This one was interesting though. Meet Kayla, my kids employer (kinda), and a family friend. She is a young business owner (28 years as of this), with hair styles that have been featured in the New York Times. She's a master of her craft and a quirky misfit. Stack that on top of a genuinely interesting story of a young lady who has been fighting the odds since she was a tyke, and you have a story that ANYONE could be inspired by. I love what I do. I love the different personalities that end up sitting with me and it's even more when I get inspired. Cheeck it out. lol. It's Jabbology.

I'm baaaaaack. The show that I have been trying to keep rebranding and push to new hights keeps taking the L cause of other shit, but no more. I get to iron out some things, slow it down a bit, and get back to what I really love doing. Not for a time crunch, not looking at a clock, not fitting any guidelines, just a much needed release. A manuver to get back to my base. Wanna hear about all the crazy shit I have going on? The art, the merch shop, the new shows....everything Proper Rumpus...my team. This is pretty much a solid ass life update behind the tweets and all the bell and whistles. Pull up a chair...we have peace to create and a landing to stick.

It makes me so humble and even happier when I get to do this show. The main focus was to be able to share my passions as well as let people hear the other things that people were passionate about. It's no secret that I have developed a media group and it's also common knowledge that I am now a resin artist. I sit down with artist Jason Vooheez aka Crystal Lake Confections for one hell of a story and a motivating spirit that I was blessed to be in frequency with. Without further ado, I get to introduce you to an amazing artist, a survivor, a man of faith, and one hell of a chef!

Hola weirdos! Here it is. The final chapter in Igonutzz taking over my show. Rebranded The Un-HOST-ile Takeover, I spread this last one out. I FINALLY have a good amount of content to shuffle with alot of new shit on the horizon. We close this one strong. A few more layers pulled back with a small glimpse into the future of me, my art, my company/collective (proper rumpus rulez), with all the trimmings. Enjoy and I hope this shit is as fun to listen to as it was to record,

This episode has been the longest anything I have ever done in all my time in podcasting, but if you're gonna pull this off, you better be fuckin capable, so why not bring one of the best to the table?! I grabbed up one of the most interesting and dedicated cats I have got to meet in this game, CJ. He's a DJ. He's co host of the EVER SO DOPE PodAskew, and he was my guest on this great episode of Jabbology. Take the day off and pack a lunch cause you're gonna dig every bit of it. I pick this man's brain about music, podcasting, and his love for this medium. If you listen closely, you may catch an Easter Egg or two. Honestly one of the best convos I have ever had with one of my personal Mt Rushmore podcasters in the game. Check this out, PLEASE! Be peace and stick the landing.

Welcome to an early Jabbology! Taking over the Jabbo and The Teeb spot cause the boys are on vacay...from the show...tell next week...anyways, it's part three of the Un-HOST-ile Takeover! You know Igonutzz came at me hard for these last two. Shit isEXTRA special, enjoy!

In a rare...well, once a year actually, celebration of my big day, I give you a new and fresh Jabbology. I bring along my better half, Nashon, to help explain the ruckus at Rumpus. What have we been up to? Why all the hush hush? What the hell is #PropFor44? We drop a few surprises on you with the whole birthday surprise prize pack sweepstake or whatever its called. Anyways, it's my birthday! I'm too old to party, but I can talk for a long ass time and give away free shit...just like an old person.

Well, here I am making yet another post on time! Yaay me! Anyways, so when my good buddy Igo decided to rip me apart and make a show out of it, he originally saw this in three parts. I mean, I talk ALOT of shit about getting to hear crazy ass stories and whatnot, so here ya go. Part TWO of the raw. High school and college were...special...it's all me. It's all Jabbology.

I am back and still on track. Oh god I had fun with this. Igo stops by, and in true bestie fashion, decides to grill the fuck out of me. Asking all those random questions you weren't sure you wanted to know. It turned out to be a good way to share some stories with one another and be able to talk about some soul healing shit, with you guys right with us. This one is a bit interactive, so get those questions ready. It's prolly one of the best episodes of Jabbology I have ever done. Enjoy!

Oh Lord, if I could only explain to you all how crazy and fantastic shit has been. lol. This show took a back seat to a few joint projects that still allowed me to get out content, but Jabbology was still always the thing. I have been chasing this young lady for quite sometime because she is just an amazing soul. She is the host of Musings of the Nerd Scorpio. She is an amazing cosplayer and creator of her own comic series. She is a mom. As a young latin woman, she has done the work to make sure that the barriers are a lil bit easier to get through. I could go on and on...just listen.

Ok, I'll kiss ass and apologize later, but I have just been dying to post. I have SO much shit to share with you guys and I'm tired of being held up, so here we go! Just a bonus taste of the content that I love to make with one of my favorite people on the planet, Igo. If you need a list of all the shit we go over...Footloose...Dream On...Over The Top...Cobra...getting high with Bootsy Collins...how urine doesn't taste very good...I ACTUALLY say something about this Amber Heard shit, Ric Flair's last match...look, trust me, it's MORE than enough wonderful convo, with the guy that's been on more of my shows than ANYONE. Dig in..this shit has Nutzz. Find your pee!

On this once again expertly misplaced episode of Jabbology, we find our hero once agin, overexplaining. Oh, not about why this was late, oh no. It seems that some of the shit I have been saying and tweeting have come into question. lol. Nothing serious, but enough to address. In the most light hearted of ways, I talk about my absolute love for Shang-Chi, and the importance of being represented. I talk about the whole Spotify/Rogan bullshit, cause for some reason people think I should be defending the Fear Factor guy! Toss in the new ideas for Scene In Fifteen with this month's Black Cinema theme and how I just have to make good choices. Wanna hear me giggle over Jim Henson and the new Fraggle Rock? Cool, well, it happens. Just another session of me picking my own brain but as you know by now, it's just Jabbology.

I can't begin to tell you how amped I am for this episode. I have alot of teachers in the art game, and having one for the podcast realm has been one of the best things I ever could have asked for. It's cool when your teacher becomes a friend and is still a mentor to you. I am proud to finally have gotten MidnightSmoke1 aka Stevie on the show. If you've listened to ANYTHING I have recorded, you've always heard me talk about Odd Pods Media, and the guy that has been such a blessing to me in this journey, well, here he is. I'm rambling, I know, but listen to the episode and you'll see I have quite a bit to ramble about. Be peace and enjoy!

Holy hell and Happy New Year! I'm back! After another random, life filled hiatus, I was finally able to sit and jaw my ass off again, and this one is a doozy. What happens when an impromptu road trip through the mountains gets jabby? Wanna know about how I became a cowboy for like...three hours? This is the episode that I have been trying my ass off to sit and record, but more shit just kept happening! I left some shit out, but trust me when I say, I have never...well, almost never, been happier to have my ass at home. Come check out our wild West Virginia trip...never again. lol. Enjoy yourself a brand new Jabbology!

Oh, I'm sure there will be some sort of end of the year wrap up, but it's Christmas Time on Jabbology...kinda. I finally just sit and talk about just some of the cool ass people that are gifts to me this year and shit I'm thankful for. It's been another crazy year and no JATT Chistmas episode! This doesn't make up for it, but I ramble.... I also, for some reason, really feel the need to defend Will Smith. More pieces of my weird ass mind to soak up. Enjoy!

Hola and welcome. I think the title says it all. I had to apparently take a two week hiatus and am just now getting to putting the finishing touches on this episode. So, I had a baby. Not me, perse, but my girlfriend. We had a whole baby and, as a dad to a newborn, I think I should be allowed to speak on it. Who the hell am I kidding?! This episode is very near and dear to my heart. I get to talk about one of the craziest experiences of my life. I get to tell the false labor story...then the actual labor story..and it all comes out as the ramblings of a madman, so what's not to love? I open some pretty deep doors to the old soul with this one. I had to feel this one. I had to have pictures of all my kids and my newborn daughter in the room for this one. We are talking about something I never figured would happen. You know what, just listen. Hear a first time dad talk about all the first time shit that a first time dad went through for..the first time. Oh, and I've Got You Under My Skin by Frank is the song I used to always sing to my baby girl while she was in her momma's belly. Enjoy.

Yes! I told you that this would happen. A late posted episode, but I need to soak it all in. This marks the debut of my first full week of Proper Rumpus shows. All three have now dropped in a week and it's something I have worked so hard to FINALLY realize. Coming off of Turkey Day, there is so much that I have to be thankful for, and here, I guess, was the episode to do it. Listen to the trails that got me here and how blessed I am to have you along for the ride. I talk about some of the future plans that I have for this brand, as well as reflecting on why I started to begin with, and what has changed. This isn't a victory lap, but it's the start of something crazy. I just wanna thank you for being a part of it. Be peace and stick the landing. 

What's in a name? Apparently, not too much. The name has changed. We dropped the 101 and spun up a new logo. While doing that, I sat and thought about the influences that drive me. Who my new heroes are. The heights of which I wanna push this art that I love so much. You get a nice explaination about the dropped Jabbo and The Teeb episode, along with a possible curve ball. The Cheo interview may be back on the table, and with that being a dream come true, I decided to drop myself fully into what I love about being a Blerd, or black nerd. I go over it all, the impact of Mr. Boseman and what it means to be a black artist. I delve into the brilliance of Cheo Coker and his true influence on my craft. I talk Black Panther and why it is so important to have diversity on the big as well as the small screen. It's just the ramblings of Old Man Jabbs, but hey, what else do you show up for? Be peace and enjoy. I got a long ass day head and I'm gonna TRY to stick the landing. 

Man, I can't tell you how awesome this was. Oh, welcome to another episode of Jabbology 101. I just jumped in this with both feet. I got to sit and talk with fellow podcaster and misfit, Rico from Pod Askew. Rico and his cohost CJ are responsible for not only Pod Askew, but they are founding members of Odd Pods Media, a group of podcasting badasses that I have the honor of being affiliated with. Listen to the big Don and I chop it up over EVERYTHING. Such a great and fulfilling conversation and a true celebration of why I love this podlife. Rico works the mic like a true G as he shares his love of podcasts, being a content creator with six years under his belt, and speaks of how healing podcasting REALLY is. What you get to hear, is two kindred spirits shooting the shit on everything from racism in America, to the remarkable talent Rico has for impressions. This episode is a direct example of why I do this. I hope you enjoy this guy as much as I did, and huge shout out to his QUEEN...the Scent Of A Woman Joke is so SOLID. lol. Enjoy weirdos!

Man, this episode took me deep. I love doing this. I love talking with people, making their stories more available to you, and I try to keep it to my village, so it's a very personal thing for me. I will hopefully one day get to talk to many more people and share many more stories, and this may be my biggest step there. This episode was so hard for me to do. My little brother, five years out from being released from a sixteen year bid, finally came through to visit. We had always talked around what happened that night and how his life had changed as a result. I never asked about his life inside. You get to hear a thirty year friendship celebrated, a few tears shed, the warm promise of much greener pastures, and a work ethic like none other explained. It was a hard sit down, but it was needed. It really may lead to a small series within this show to cover different aspects of his life. Please enjoy a tidbit of our back and forth, with alot more to come. 

Coming off of the two years at Jabbo and the Teeb, I take a break to explain this podcast life to you. All the crap that you don't get to hear about that goes into this life we have chosen. I delve a little into why comedy and comedians mean so much to me and my soul connection with the art. All the things that I love about podcasting and the shit I hate. Hear about my dreams with this thing and the new projects on the rise. Also, I get asked alot about the Dave Chappelle show and how I feel about it. I finally sit down and give all the people in the cheap seats the A's to the Q's, and try not to commit podcast suicide. What's not to love? It's another episode of Jabbology, and it's a little bit of alright.

She is the youngest, most out spoken, kindest, and sassiest person I've ever had on my show. This personality filled nine year old blew into my life like a tornado and I believe I am all the better for it. She's been around to know that I had two podcasts and had been begging to be on "the one you would let me listen to." I was thinking she meant this one, and in true parent nature, I told her to do something worthy to talk about on my show, and she had a deal. She now has a YouTube channel and started a VERY profitable bookmark business a week ago. I think it's safe to say she's earned thisd spot and showed me what she was made of. How could I not have her on? Besides, she lives down the hall from me, and bugged me for "my people to call her people". lol. Listen. You'll see what I mean. Enjoy!

Finally able to do this again. It's like taking a deep ass breath and getting back to business. Wanna know why a week of my special self just disappeared? Why are you getting a random ass Jabbology? It's my show, so watch my smoke. Questions answered and me back at what I do best. Let's do this...

Another great convo for me to get to share with you all. Longtime friend and mentor. Godfather to my kiddo. Inspiration for El Pulso. lol. Everytime you hear my terrible latin accent, this is the base of where it comes from. We talk about the world, spirituality, religion, and the struggle to hold on to whatever beliefs you may have. This episode runs a little hot, but I think there is something for everyone. Come and enjoy, besides, if not, think of all the jacked up shit you can give me AFTER you listen, lol

Well, here it is! I told you I'd be open and transparent and stick my circle in front of you, well it doesn't get much closer than this. Sit in with the lady that knows me best, my girlfriend. We drop a few surprises for listeners in this candid one on one. Here HER side of the story on the show, our vacay, our art, social media, all of it. lol. We even talk about the struggles of dating a bestie and the pluses and negatives of it all. She's just as window licking special as I am and her heart is just as big. You'll see why she is my favorite person on this planet and hope you enjoy her as much as I do. Not like humoing and stuff, just the part where you think she's cool. lol. Enjoy!

Hola folks! Thanks for being weird and hanging in there with me. Just a palette cleanser of where we are now. Back on track with this and my other show and taking it all in stride. I just talk...a little soul exhale about to recent trip and the current goings on. Hell, I swear and answer a few questions and explain some tweets. It's me. It's Jabbologly baby!

So, the superhero guy we have talked about on Jabbo and The Teeb, well, here he is. Longtime friend, brother, soldier, and prolly the fittest guy I know, sits and chats it all up with me. We have old Army stories for days and he has some of the most solid dedication and discipline I have ever seen. I love this guy. Listen up and you'll see why. Oh yeah, my nine year old that has a crush on him, does the opening with me. lol.

The longest episode of anything I've ever done and probably one of the best. I sit down with an old atc buddy and brother in arms and we do what I do best. Love peeling apart the layers with this guy. More than a friend..a brother, and one of the dopest guys I'll ever meet. Such a pleasure to introduce you to this guy. Enjoy.

One of my favorite episodes to record. Got to hang and reconnect with an old army buddy and geek the fuck out. Lock and I first met while I was still in the Army and stationed in Korea. Come and listen..between a few stories of insane drunkness mixed in with some serious movie/tv/comic geekdom, and you get a great convo between two buddies that should happen way more frequently. Enjoy!

One of the absolute coolest things I've ever done. An absolute pleasure to sit and chat with my Dad. If you know me or have ever heard my other show, then you know how big of a hero this man is to me. It is very personal to get to share him with you guys. I loved every minute of this. He's a former school teacher, a twenty two year army veteran, a dad, a grandfather, a best friend, my favorite person,,,I could go on and on. I love that you get to get a piece of this. Enjoy.

Hola weirdos! What a better way to start off the show than to have the guy who helped me develop the idea. Listen to the back and forth I get to have with one of the biggest influences that I have had with this and the other show. I love this guy. We don't always see eye to eye, but damn if we ain't been through some thick and thin. Hear about how I lost my driving rights (bullshit), about me shitting in a lake, and all other sorts of adorable shit. Thanks for the listen. it's Jabbology baby!

First episode of Jabbology 101! Jabbo from Jabbo and the Teeb fame gets his own show! Why did I do this? Listen and find out why. I LOVE what I do and now it's time to meet the village that helps me do it. Friends, influencers, family...you name it. I sit and talk with some of the coolest people around, in only the way that I can do it.
