Autumn weather is here, hoodies are out, and football season is officially back. I love this time of year for the real camaraderie, the banter, the trash talk, and the laughs. But every season, without fail, that one delusional fan shows up to ruin the mood. You know the type. They talk big until their team starts slipping, then suddenly it is all about how football does not matter or how the refs ruined everything. In this episode, I break down why sports fans need to own their wins and losses, cut out the excuses, and just grow up.

As always, I joined my boy Marquis Lupton on The Mornin' Experience Friday show for his "Say What?" segment, and we stumbled into a topic that genuinely blew my mind: the growing number of people who admit they straight-up do not wash their legs in the shower.

Look, we need to have one hell of a serious talk about basic hygiene. Skipping your legs isn't "normal maintenance," fellas- it's alarming. In this episode, I’m breaking down why skipping below the waist is giving the rest of us a bad name, why your legs (and the back of your neck, and behind your knees) actually need soap and water, and how proper hygiene was part of the curriculum from day one. Let’s do better, keep it clean, and hold ourselves to a higher standard.

Stay steady. Stay focused. Stay grown.

Dropping my son off at college brought back memories of driving down the exact same turnpike to my own school years ago, thinking about my dad doing that drive for me. In this episode of Grown Man News, I break down the emotional reality of watching our kids grow up, moving them into college, and navigating the changing dynamic of fatherhood.

When your kids need you less, it does not mean you are loved less. It means you did your job preparing them for life. We talk about the bitter-sweet shift from constant guidance to learning how to let go, trusting the values you taught them, and realizing that as our kids grow, we are growing as fathers too. To every dad sending their kids back to school or dropping them off at college this fall, this one is for you.

Fellas, let's keep it 100. In this unfiltered episode of Grown Man News, I’m going off the cuff and breaking down a major pet peeve: men arguing with their significant others on speakerphone out in public.

There is zero reason to put your business, your frustrations, and your relationship drama on display for the entire world to hear. Whether it's your wife, your girlfriend, or your "baby moms," broadcasting your personal disagreements in public doesn't make you look cool, it lacks class, self-respect, and composure. Kings don't move like that.

Tune in as I call out this modern nonsense, talk about the importance of keeping things in-house, and share why maintaining your cool is part of being a true grown man.

Key Takeaways:

• Keep Private Matters Private: Your relationship issues belong behind closed doors, not echoing down the grocery aisle or across the street.

• Have Some Self-Respect: Speakerphone arguments in public show a lack of class and composure. Let’s raise the standard of how we carry ourselves.

• Handle Business at Home: If things get heated, take it home or handle it privately where you can actually resolve the issue instead of playing to an audience.

Remember to stay steady, stay focused, and stay grown.

Can we agree anymore? In this episode of Grown Man News, I’m diving deep into a heavy truth that’s been sitting with me: the exhausting shift in how we treat each other in a world consumed by noise, anger, and division.

It feels like we’ve traded civil disagreement for tit-for-tat hostility, where nuance is dead and compromise is treated like weakness. But here’s the real question: what are we teaching the next generation? When our kids watch us argue, insult, and divide ourselves over every little thing, they learn to see that toxic cycle as normal.

I don't have to agree with you politically, socially, or personally to be your friend, and I certainly don't have to abandon my humanity to prove a point. Join me as I talk about breaking the cycle, protecting our families, and remembering what it truly means to be a grown man in a world that desperately needs a little more understanding.

Ever try intermittent fasting and wonder if anyone actually sticks to it day by day?

On this episode of Grown Man News, I'm opening up about my second week diving headfirst into a 16:8 fasting routine. No extreme gimmicks or starving myself, just finding a tangible structure that works. I'm breaking down how setting clear windows to eat (and times not to eat) has completely eliminated my late-night sweet tooth and midnight ice cream cravings. I talk discipline, small daily wins, managing the morning walls, and why throwing out the scale right now is keeping my mental health and motivation on track. If you're in the same boat trying to find a rhythm that sticks, let's figure it out together.

In this episode of Grown Man News, host Felix C. Arroyo tackles a topic many men shy away from with a blend of raw vulnerability, transparency, and much-needed humor. Aimed at men in their 40s and 50s, this candid conversation dives headfirst into the awkward, often taboo world of health screenings, preventive care, and specifically, getting a colonoscopy.

Felix shares his personal, slightly comical, and entirely relatable story about scheduling his own screening. Expecting a standard procedure, he found himself surprised by an alternative option: an at-home kit. What follows is a humorous yet poignant look at the confusion, the apprehension, and the realization that taking charge of men's health often means pushing past deep-seated embarrassment.

In this episode I break down how difficult it is to truly be disciplined. Not so much how important it is to be disciplined, but just the mere fact that it's not easy and that always makes me wonder why.

Let's talk about therapy. More importantly - let's talk about the moment you actually break. The moment that everyone prepares for in therapy
