💰 Grifter Boogie / Boogie2988 / "Francis" / Steven Jason Williams - Fat, Rapidly Declining Divorced "Nice Guy" Middle-Aged Youtuber, Former Edgy Porn Blogger, lied about having cancer and being molested. Cohost of fake drama show "Lolcow Live (LCL)". Just WILL NOT die.

I also predict he'll say he felt like he could turn the tables on Wings but the ref ended it too early.
That is actually a strategy for fat people fights. Guys like Butterbean can punch like a truck, but they run out of stamina even with shorter rounds if you can hold out. Of course that strategy assumes you are able to defend yourself from even a single blow fatty throws so Boogie might not find it useful. Good show all around tho. The blubber bobbled beautifully in this battle.

The TRUTH behind the boogie2988 vs Wings fight..mp4

Wow, he really hit all the expected notes, and even brought Sunny up to boot! 'Andy Kaufman vs Jerry Lawler, entertainment, trying to bring eyes to the fight, glad to be part of wings' redemption, etc. etc. etc.'

looks like seethin's back on the menu, boys!
 
As someone who's been aware of Wings since the COD commentary days and pretty actively followed him as a teen/high schooler, it felt good to see him get a W. He's a scumbag in his own way but I never felt the same type of ire for him that I do for boogie.
All but the most sociopathic Wings trolls have always said he's his own worst enemy and that deep down everyone is secretly rooting for him just to put some goddamn effort into his life.

Seeing him not only show up but come out with real footwork and combinations was shocking. Dominating Boogie definitely helped with public opinion, but even if he'd lost it would've shown a dramatic change in his usual no-effort, self-pitying approach to life.
 
Hey Boogie: gg ez.

Massive post incoming.
Motherfucker's still talking about "at least I'm not in a wheelchair". Yeah no shit, a morbidly obese Walmart dweller doesn't HAVE to sit in the stupid Hoveround to get around. They do it because they're lazy. No props to Boogie for choosing to not be lazy. And he said the 15 minute walk to his gate would feel like 100 miles. Come on Boogie, you were training for boxing, swimming laps, and walking your dogs daily!!! A 15 minute walk on flat airport tile is fucking nothing for a titan of strength such as that.

Then he gives some horse shit excuses about "Jordie's 12 years younger and he trained for boxing while I had to focus on just being strong enough to get in the ring." BITCH PLEASE! He allegedly underwent multiple medical examinations/tests. If Boogie wasn't fit to get in the ring, he wouldn't have been allowed in the ring. And Boogie is (supposedly) lighter than Wings! Come on twinkle toes, use that shit to your advantage lmao.

Tries to compare Wings vs. Boogie to Andy Kaufman vs. Jerry Lawler. Never heard of them before but looking them up I see
Kaufman would wrestle women as part of his act and that was eventually used during his feud with Lawler.

From a kayfabe perspective, Lawler took issue with Kaufman wrestling women and that ultimately led to their feud. Lawler had matches with the puny Kaufman and Kaufman even suffered a neck injury thanks to King's patented piledriver. Kaufman would wear a neck brace, but he was selling the injury as being worse than it actually was.
Yeah, okay maybe Boogie is like Kaufman. Treats women poorly, and plays up minor shit. The fight tho? Hell no, no comparison because Boogie can't fight for shit. And Kaufman and Lawler were friends who had fake beef. Boogie and Wings? Well, the fight was shit and it wasn't even faked, so take that how you will.

Then tries to play off his loss like he "just wanted to be an entertainer" and "sling with Jordie" (Jordie was the only one slingin'). Whatever helps you sleep at night, fat face. Brings up SunnyV2 again because he just cannot let it go. Talk about rent free.

5:05 "I did do this for a noble purpose, right? But everything I do is for a noble purpose, that's just who I am." Holy humble pie.
5:20 "Maybe sometimes [I can inspire you by] entertaining you long enough to forget about your misery." This betrays Boogie's "positive" persona. He assumes that, because he is constantly miserable, everyone else must be too.

The rest is just Boogie patting his own ass saying he "got out of his wheelchair" and went to London and came back 36 hours later. Fuckin' whatever man, your gaming chair with wheels is not a "wheelchair". The real achievement is the construction of modern aircraft that can hold your fat ass. Those engineers should be patting their own asses.

Ends the video saying "go check out some of my other content, I think you'll like it. I do." lmfao.

Side note, I don't think this fool's glasses are ever straight. It really complements the stroke face.
Heads up that the Boogie2988 subreddit may be deleted shortly:

Would be great if someone had a way or knew how to archive it 🙏
Spent way too long on this only to get hit with a 1000-post rate limit. Here's a partial archive of Boogie's subreddit, spanning Jan 7, 2018 to May 14, 2023. (983 posts, JSON format. See Details for info on reading this; you will probably need a computer). I'm including my subreddit archival script too, in case anyone is interested in using/improving it.

This online archive seems more complete and might work if the sub gets deleted. It seems to leverage Pushshift, which Reddit recently broke, so I'm not totally sure.
Like I said above, the scraper I used gets rate-limited at ~1k posts and I wasn't able to find a way around that. Pushshift, which would have worked here, recently got blacklisted by Reddit. If you know a way to work around the rate limit, or know another scraper that isn't affected by it, please let me know so I can complete the archive.

To open, download the JSON Parser folder from the archive (you might have to scroll a bit, GDrive is weird) and open index.html in a browser. Download the JSON for a post you want to see, then drag it into the box in the JSON parser. You should see the post in a Reddit-like format, and it will pull images from links included in the post. It will also link to the original Reddit URLs for posts, comments, users, etc. as long as they're still up.

1684191090481.png

Here's what each JSON includes:
  • Post title (truncated at 50 characters)
  • Post media links (if applicable)
  • Content of text posts
  • Original post URL
  • Post/comment scores
  • Comments on posts
  • Authors of posts/comments
  • Creation times of posts/comments

It doesn't include images/videos/other media files, or it would probably be massive. However, links to media are preserved, so you should still be able to see them by following those links (assuming Reddit doesn't delete uploaded media when a sub is deleted). Or you can use my JSON parser, explained above.
Apparently Reddit recently revoked Pushshift's access, which would have made this a hell of a lot easier. Instead I had to use Python and a scraper that gets rate-limited at ~1000 posts, locking me out of about 5 years of posts.

I'm including my Python script that uses PRAW to scrape the submissions and comments from Reddit and shove it all into JSON files. I won't give the whole explanation for using PRAW, but you can install it using the instructions at the GitHub link. Then follow PRAW's docs here to get set up with Reddit's API.

You can use this script on any subreddit, just change the 'subreddit_name' variable from 'boogie2988'. Keep in mind that if you try this on a larger subreddit, it's possible you could hit problems I didn't see on Boogie's smaller sub. It will certainly be less effective on larger subs that get thousands of posts in a year. The JSON Parser will also work for any subreddit, as long as it follows the same naming conventions used in my script.

Quick disclaimer: I used ChatGPT to write and tune the script, so it might not make the most sense, or be as efficient as it could be. I know enough programming to make sure it works right, that's about it.
Python:
import praw
import os
import json

import logging

handler = logging.StreamHandler()
handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
for logger_name in ("praw", "prawcore"):
    logger = logging.getLogger(logger_name)
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    logger.addHandler(handler)

reddit = praw.Reddit(
    client_id='your_client_id',
    client_secret='your_client_secret',
    user_agent='your_user_agent',
)

subreddit_name = 'boogie2988'
subreddit = reddit.subreddit(subreddit_name)

save_dir = 'C:\Your\Save\Dir'
os.makedirs(save_dir, exist_ok=True)

# Maximum length for submission title in the filename
max_title_length = 50

def process_comment(comment):
    comment_data = {
        'author': None,
        'body': comment.body,
        'score': comment.score,
        'created_utc': comment.created_utc,
        'permalink': comment.permalink,
        'replies': [],

    try:

    except AttributeError:
        pass
    if isinstance(comment, praw.models.MoreComments):
        return comment_data
    for reply in comment.replies:
        reply_data = process_comment(reply)
        comment_data['replies'].append(reply_data)
    return comment_data

for submission in subreddit.new(limit=None):
    submission_data = {
        'title': submission.title,
        'author': None,
        'score': submission.score,
        'created_utc': submission.created_utc,
        'url': submission.url,
        'permalink': submission.permalink,
        'content': None,
        'comments': [],
    }

    try:
        submission_data['author'] = submission.author.name
    except AttributeError:
        pass

# Retrieve content for different submission types
    if submission.selftext:
        submission_data['content'] = submission.selftext
    elif submission.url:
        submission_data['content'] = submission.url

    # Retrieve comments for the submission
    submission.comments.replace_more(limit=None)

    for comment in submission.comments:
        comment_data = process_comment(comment)

        submission_data['comments'].append(comment_data)

    # Clean the submission title for filename
    title_cleaned = re.sub(r'[^\w\s-]', '', submission.title).strip()
    title_cleaned = re.sub(r'[-\s]+', ' ', title_cleaned)

    # Truncate submission title if it exceeds maximum length
    truncated_title = title_cleaned[:max_title_length].rstrip('.. ')

    # Get submission creation time
    creation_time = datetime.utcfromtimestamp(submission.created_utc)
    creation_time_string = creation_time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

    # Prepend filename with creation time and submission title
    file_name = f"{creation_time_string} - {truncated_title}.json"
    file_path = os.path.join(save_dir, file_name)

    with open(file_path, 'w') as f:
        json.dump(submission_data, f)

It does a few things:
  • Logs PRAW activity to the console
  • Grabs post titles and bodies from the given subreddit
  • Truncates post titles to 50 characters (since we use post titles for filenames, and some titles are way too long for most filesystems to support)
  • Grabs comments on posts
  • Processes comments to keep them in their original hierarchy
  • Stores post/comment metadata with each post/comment
  • Sanitizes titles for filename creation (remove /?*^% etc. illegal characters)
  • Converts the post's UTC time to a more readable date format (YYYY-MM-DD)
  • Saves the post in JSON format, using post date and sanitized title as the filename
  • Handles errors gracefully, without crashing the script
It should be entirely self-contained as long as you have Python and PRAW installed, and your Reddit app is created. Paste the code into a .py file and replace the following variables, then run however you like (I used VS Code):
  • client_id (see PRAW quick start)
  • client_secret (see PRAW quick start)
  • user_agent (see PRAW quick start)
  • subreddit_name (if archiving a different sub)
  • save_dir (where you want all your JSONs saved)
Keep in mind that the script will quit after scraping ~1000 posts. I thought I could get around this by setting a start date for the search and re-running the script, but ultimately wasn't able to do that. So this is a pretty neutered script ATM, but is the best I was able to find with Pushshift being down.

The ~1000 post limit apparently also applies to comments. So if a post had more than 1K comments, it probably got trimmed at 1K. Not a big deal to me, since most comments on Boogie's sub are garbage anyway, and any comments past the 1K threshold probably aren't worth reading. I also don't care to fix deeply nested comments getting forced into a box that's too small (in the parser). It's still readable, just shitty looking.

Feel free to improve the script/parser and reupload however you want, with or without attribution. A LLM wrote it. I don't care.

By the way, not sure if this was posted before, but this came up when I was validating the archives. List of unlisted Boogie videos: https://unlistedvideos.com/search.php?user=boogie2988

Also came across this clip of Boogie admitting to shitting in the shower, hadn't heard that one before. Added it to the Twitch Clip Archive because jesus fuck.

Boogie will absolutely try to spin this.

"I took a few punches and now you're all talking about me"
"I'm a pacifist I didn't want to hurt anyone"
"It was all staged I was just trying to look pathetic"
Pacifists are respected because they are a iron walls with a heart.

Boogie is just a complete bitch that doesn't have the balls to act out on his threats.
 
In his new video, Boogie refers to Wings as "a 400 pound man in the prime of his life." What????
Talk about an oxymoron.

I know there have been studies that men in their 30s hit peak desirability to women, but that's not relevant for someone who looks and acts like Wings.

Speaking of things that piss me off: There has been a recurring rhetoric after this fight that Boogie did well for being "48" and "an old man". What the fuck? Where do people get the idea from that the average 48 year old is crumbling and unable to do anything physical? 48 isn't an old man. This kind of attitude is why you get so many people calling themselves old premature and using it as an excuse to be lazy fucks who get on a path to obesity.

Bringing up Boogie's age as a defense for his physical ability is hilarious. Boogie's problem is he's a fucking fatass with zero cardio. Wings is a fatass, but he's a fatass that clearly has some anaerobic capacity which Boogie could have if he wanted to put in a small amount of work. Wings threw a lot of punches in those 2 rounds and was moving towards Boogie constantly.

What makes boxing a hard workout is repeatedly throwing punches and moving around the ring. Boogie did neither of these and was completely gassed after the first 60 seconds despite a 30+ second break to fix his shorts. The fact he lasted only 1 minute 20 seconds is not to be praised, it's a terrible effort.

It's also comical that after all the talk about this fight, Boogie showed up without any clue what to do. He looked surprised he was being hit and kept putting his hands down to say shit instead of guarding. There was even less effort put into the fight than what he puts into his YouTube channel.

Anyone who was paying attention to this knew Boogie would fold immediately. He used his fake abuse origin story as a part of his shtick and attempted to display his weakness as strength. Boogie is such an unbelievable pussy, that in the pre-fight press conference he masks his pity seeking in a hammed up phony Southern accent for no reason. This obese retard only ventures outside for food.
 
Heads up that the Boogie2988 subreddit may be deleted shortly:

Boogie didn't create the sub, but he is a mod on there. One of his mods/fans posted this.

There's a lot of old stories, contradictions and overall fuckery that Boogie has posted in the past. Would be great if someone had a way or knew how to archive it 🙏

Wanted to see if the mod who said he'd delete the subreddit had posted any updates, found this instead.

The TRUTH behind the boogie2988 vs Wings fight..mp4
Videos like this are a great reminder of what an unlikable scumbag Boogie is. He is really hammering home this fake wheelchair narrative. Prior to this, he was hammering home the psychedelics/ego death narrative.

This is him taking full advantage of the attention to retcon storylines he feels fit to retcon. At 6:11 he mentions that he got out his wheelchair to do this fight. Bro, what fucken wheelchair? This story has changed from "I used to be in a wheelchair" to "I got out of my wheelchair to go to London". He's been walking around relatively fine for the past 6 years since surgery (apart from when he was limping last year), but now he's trying to make it sound like it's always been a monumental struggle?

This contradicts so much from his past and is exactly why his victim persona doesn't work with his alpha chad SUCK IT HATERS persona. The number of times he posted his step counts with bullshit numbers totally contradicts this wheelchair narrative.

He talks about how flying nearly killed him 6 years ago and this flight to London was a big deal. Dawg, you have been on plenty of flights before and after the surgery, what are you on about?

I was too fat to fly abroad! I almost died on the way to LA! I AM SO PROUD.png

Some quick examples of when Boogie's been on a plane:

2015 2.png
2016.png

Wants asspats for not taking up two seats. Fucken hell...

The irritation of seeing him play up this inspirational angle is largely offset by the number of people who are surprised by how fat he's gotten.

Shout out to @cock gobbler - Amazing work.

Damn this is a hit against the documentary being real because they wouldn't be able to cover up for this sudden weelchair arc that he's just invented. Wonder if Clum jumped before Boogie suicide baited him or if he left because he did and realized it wasn't worth working with him. Considering that the fight just happened last week and he'd need to release it as soon as possible while eyeballs are still on Boogie, the lack of any announcement is not good. I thought he'd release it the weekend after the fight.
 
Anyone who was paying attention to this knew Boogie would fold immediately.

To be honest, I was surprised he lasted as long as he did. He's clearly not used to taking a punch, and after Wings sent in the first round of haymakers, Porky looked completely lost.

I think there must have been a clause in the contract that said 'if you throw the towel in, rather than letting the ref stop the fight, you don't get paid.'
