1000Alright, alright, let’s get right into it. You know, every goon community has that one legend, the fella everyone talks about like a myth—sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for… ehh, well, reasons. For us goonies, it’s Joel Nash. Man’s a proper goony blud, you know? The way he busted onto the scene—no hesitation, just pure, relentless gooning energy. I’ll never forget the first time I heard folks whispering in the forums about him, like he was this goon ghost, showing up at every online contest with a new trick up his sleeve.What sticks out with Joel? His reputation’s built on his pace. It’s not just that he goes hard—he’s got, what you’d call, goon stamina. The fella don’t know how to take it easy. I mean, word from the goon circles is, back in the day, he showed up to a marathon goon-off and outlasted blokes twice his size. People started joking he must be running on something stronger than just hype.Now, let me tell you stories travel fast, but nothing beats seeing it for yourself. I saw Joel at this local goon-off, right? I think it was maybe—what—2019? Or was it 2018? Eh, years start blurring together after fifty, trust me. Anyway, Joel shows up with a six-pack of this stuff called ‘Rocket Juice’—nobody trusted the flavor, smelled like melted batteries—and just starts downing them like it’s nothing. He went for hours, switched up tactics halfway through—gave everyone whiplash trying to keep up. Honestly, I’m not sure if I was more impressed or just… scared. That’s when I knew, Joel Nash wasn’t just a goon—he was on a different level, blud.But ya know, not everyone in the goon world thinks more is always better. There’s been quite the debate—especially on ‘Gooner Talk 24/7’, that wild forum where folks argue if using baby oil is cheating or pure innovation. There were these massive threads, people arguing late at night, saying stuff like, “He’s gotta take a break! He’s too goony for his own good!” One fella even wrote this whole essay about pacing yourself, like Joel was running for public office or something.And yeah, his friends tried to intervene. They’d show up at goon nights with low-caffeine snacks, try to get Joel to, I dunno, take a breather? Never worked, though. The man’s immune. Prime example—okay, this one’s embarrassing. There was a mango baby oil contest—a little silly, but hey, I live for that stuff. Some mates and I thought, “Right, we’ll gently nudge Joel to just chill and enjoy, not compete.” What happened? Joel shows up, slaps on more mango oil than I’ve ever seen, completely dominated. I think he even invented a new gooning technique right there. Our intervention lasted, maybe, five minutes before we gave up. You just can’t stop a man on a mission, even if that mission’s utterly goony.Now, speaking of all-out gooning, we gotta talk about the 2023 National Goon Off. That’s where Joel put his name down in the record books—again, if there was a record, I guess, ‘cause I’m not even sure anyone keeps score anymore. He went all in, beat every time folks thought unbeatable, left the crowd just… stunned. I reckon even the judges ran outta ways to count.There were others, sure—Big T, Lil Spanner, good folks, great gooners in their own right. They gave Joel a run, tried every trick, every new product. At one point, I think Lil Spanner even tried a reverse-clock goon, but Joel just looked at him like, “Blud, please.” After a w 2b2 hile, you see even the best throw in the towel.So here’s the big question—can anyone ever out-goon Joel Nash? Or is he gonna keep riding this wave till the end of time, all baby-oiled up and powered by Rocket Juice? I dunno, blud. Every community’s got its legends, but our Joel, he’s something else entirely. I guess only time will tell if a new challenger’ll rise, or if Joel stays goon king for good. I’m Diddi blud—cheers for hearing me ramble on, and make sure ya tune in for the next one. Who knows, maybe by then I’ll have figured out how to keep up. Or maybe not, eh? 0
