I love the Eagles, but I’ll never forgive what they did to DeMarco Murray. How does Chip Kelly still get hired?

The cure for male loneliness is an arcade bar franchise owned and operated by Reginald Vel Johnson.

Men need community and a TV dad that will always make us feel better.

“I’ll fight any man in here!”, he screamed while standing inside of a Twin Peaks sports bar.

A manager appeared and told him to keep down: the customers were there to overtip the half-naked waitresses, and cry when a sports teams lost them money on a parlay.

It’s weird how cigarettes cause cancer but are vital to surviving America in 2025.

Signs your husband is part of the male loneliness epidemic:

1. No real friends.
2. Too much time on social media.
3. Starts amassing a Sun Visor collection.

If I ever become a CEO, I’m going to wire every room in my skyscraper to play “Mambo No. 5” when I walk in. The bathrooms AND the elevator bay.

My office is in downtown Chicago, across the street from a Catholic Church.

When Chicago Pope was announced, the church bells rang and a parishioner stood out front - double pumping his fists in the air like the Bulls had just won another ring.

I’ve been working out for 8 years, look great, and am too old to chase a sugar daddy.
