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!

Gregg Greenberg yet again entertains and frustrates us in this chapter of his book, which can indeed be a scenario you can relate to where he explores the social awkwardness of dealing with the "I'm better than you" sorts of people.  In a funny chapter entitled The Last Couples Dinner, he tells how the character of Jodi has been postponing a dinner date with her best friend and her husband, who is an "X+1" personality whose nature is to one-up everything anyone else says. Jodi runs out of reasons and pushes through with the dinner. Her meek and mild-mannered husband, David, teaches a trick or two and flexes a strategy on how to strike back at a one-upper gracefully.  Join the fun in this new episode of F*CKING ARGENTINA with Tom Fox and Gregg Greenberg. #TheLastCouplesDinner 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.

The famous stage musical West Side Story's new adaptation, set for release this December 2021, is met with anticipation, as its story and lessons still resonate today. Humor writer Gregg Greenberg and I sit down and talk about the film we cherish from our young days and how he dedicates a chapter in his book F*cking Argentina for an unforgettable character Officer Krupke. In this tale, Officer Krupke is trying to be an actor, and he's convincing to get his agent to get him a part. He suggests he could play a bad cop, but his agent argues against it.

Well, F*cking Argentina! You may as well express this phrase of irritation as comedy writer Gregg Greenberg explains the genesis that ended up being the title of his book.  In this episode, we explore exasperation with the country of Argentina, national economies, and the global financial order.  Having worked in the financial industry as an analyst and commentator, Gregg writes much of this chapter from 2020 when major financial powerhouse BlackRock Inc. was getting upset because Argentina would not pay them back. "How many times has Argentina devalued their currency or has gone bankrupt? It just seems that every few years, Argentina borrows a lot of money, whether it be from Wall Street banks, who you think would be savvy enough not to lend them anymore or at least lend it to them at exorbitant interest rates. It just seems, though, that if someone knocks on my door, which is what happens in the story and says, hey, Gregg, can I borrow 500 billion? I would think twice if it was Argentina."
