  • Have You Ever Seen An Old Man Butt?

    Old man butt is real.

    Have you ever seen an old man butt? It’s like somebody stole the buttcheeks in the middle of the night and left grandpa out there with negative aerodynamics. Put a wallet in the back pocket of some Levi's. You'll see what I mean. Just flopping all over the place.

    We’re giving BBLs to the wrong people. We need to support our elders. If grandpa needs structural butt support to keep his chonies up, we as a society should step in.

    Call 1-800-SAVE-MY-BUTT. Operators are standing by.

    Quick Tips

    • If you only have 24 hours, pick your base: Ibiza Town (historic/closer to big clubs) or San Antonio (cheaper, big bay, nightlife strip).

    • August heat is rugged. Get in the water when you can.

    • San Antonio nightlife is loud and concentrated. Great if you want it. Brutal if you don’t.

    • The morning port walk is worth it for filming and vibes.

  • Tesla Fanboy vs Reality: Have You Ever Been in a Tesla?

    Tesla fanboy vs reality, and I’m both voices in this back and forth.

    Have you ever been in a Tesla? You know it’s genuinely impressive, and you also know it turns people into dorks who won’t stop talking about it.

    If you’re even slightly interested in electric vehicles, this is the exact moment you either get it or you start planning your escape route. When people think something is cool they just keep going and going and going....

    I hit the best parts of the Tesla ecosystem and the parts that make your friends regret asking - like the phone key, charging at home, software updates, and the sheer awesomeness of this invention. It’s me raggin on myself while still admitting it is the coolest.

    Tell me which one you are in the comments, the Tesla fanboy, the person who does not care, or the exhausted passenger who just wants everyone to be normal for ten seconds.

  • Make 2026 Your Best Year Yet

    We’re two days into 2026. Time to get on it.

    This is your chance. You can literally decide to upgrade anything you want. Learn something new. Fix the small thing you keep ignoring. Start the habit you have said you were going to start for months now. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, congratulations—this is it.

    Here’s the part nobody wants to hear:

    Momentum is a decision. And it starts with the smallest movement.

    Pick one:

    A tiny health win (walks, water, sleep, gym, yoga, literally anything)

    A personal care win (haircut, wardrobe, clean the space, update the resume)

    A relationship win (forgive somebo, or stop dating the human migraine)

    A brain win (read 10 minutes before bed, learn Spanish, new playlist, new skill)

    Do one move today. Not 47 moves. One. Then do it again tomorrow. Even if it’s only for a few minutes.

    That’s how the “best year of your life” thing actually happens. One day at a time with little tiny baby steps.

    Taking care of you makes you better at everything else - as a parent, partner, employee, or friend.

    Feed the positive as well. Nothing negative about anybody. It brings you down, others down, and makes people want to be around you less. Try to only say positive things all day long and see what happens.

  • Is “Just Friends” the Best Christmas Movie? (Settle This)

    Every year it happens. I say "Just Friends" is the greatest Christmas movie and everyone around me says its not even about Christmas. So I’m making it your problem.

    We’re putting it up against the usual suspects (Die Hard, Elf, Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, Love Actually, Bad Santa… all of them). I need the comment section to settle this so I can win an argument with some teenagers and finally win this battle.

    Drop your #1 Christmas movie in the comments or like the comment you agree with. We gotta settle this once and for all.

  • Did I Peak In High School?

    “You peaked in high school, bud.”

    That's rude. But also, what if they’re right?😬

    In this episode I’m messing around with the idea of “peaking” in life. How do you even know when it happens? Is it your 20s, when you look the best you ever will but your brain aint quite there yet? Or is it later, when your mind is sharper, your body is louder, and your kids roast your old photos so hard you start questioning everything?

    I talk about tiny aging shifts you don’t notice, kids as brutally honest mirrors, social media constantly updating everyone’s mental picture of your face, and the hilarious possibility that you might actually keep getting better, smarter, and hotter as you go. You just peaked at 85 years old, Bud.

  • GPS Is Making Me Dumb

    I have GPS, Google Maps, blue lines, red lines, ETA countdowns, the whole car navigation circus on my phone…and I still miss the turn. This little rant is about getting lost with directions, how phone navigation might be making me worse at reading signs, and whether paper maps and actually paying attention were secretly better.

    If you’ve ever argued with your GPS, second-guessed the “fastest route,” or wondered why you still feel directionally dumb in the age of unlimited navigation apps, this one’s for you. Hit play, laugh at my bad sense of direction, and then check out more travel stories and episodes of Maxwell’s Kitchen Podcast around the site.
